"Eliminate Zhao Tieshan."

Pei Donglai said it as if he were commenting on the weather. Yet, the terrifying murderous intent in his tone instantly made the temperature in the security room plunge to freezing.

Lin Xiao wasn't surprised at all that he could say such a thing. After all, Pei Donglai was the War God of the Western Region. His courage and strength were both extraordinary. Regarding the incident at noon, if it weren't for Pei Yanzi, how could he have been bullied like that by a mere second-tier family?

Now, with Lin Xiao as his backer, Pei Donglai naturally became fearless. He wouldn't give a second thought to someone like Zhao Tieshan. In fact, forget Zhao Tieshan; even the King of Jinling City was nothing more than a junior in Pei Donglai's eyes.

"No need," Lin Xiao said. "Zhao Tieshan invited me to lunch tomorrow. It's sure to be a trap, and I'll take care of it personally then."

"But Captain, is a nobody like Zhao Tieshan worth you handling personally?" Pei Donglai asked.

"Of course not, but this is a grudge between him and me. You don't need to get involved. Besides, if you were to kill Zhao Tieshan now, his lackeys would surely retaliate wildly against you. If they can't get to you, they'll target Yanzi, and you can't be by her side all the time. Frankly, I don't want that to happen. When I need you to act, I'll let you know."

Pei Donglai was so touched he was at a loss for words.

As they were talking, Lin Xiao's phone rang. It was a call from Shao Mei'er. Lin Xiao knew she must have taken care of the housing situation, so he casually picked up.

"Stinky Dad, I've handled the matter you asked about!" Shao Mei'er's provocative voice came through the phone.

"Well done. Send me the address later," Lin Xiao replied.

"Okay! But, Stinky Dad, the bathtub in this house is huge, and the bed is so soft. Don't you want to try them out with me?"

"Do you have a miniskirt, black stockings, and high heels?"

Shao Mei'er's voice was honey-sweet. "I do, and I have super sexy lingerie, too. I'll show you what true bliss feels like!"

Lin Xiao was amused. "You're just a virgin, yet you're trying to act like a sultry vixen."

Shao Mei'er giggled. "Stinky Dad, I may be a virgin, but I've watched plenty of 'films.' I know all kinds of positions."

Hearing her increasingly explicit words, Lin Xiao didn't dare continue the banter.

I can't help it; I'm not a monk. I'm a vigorous young man in my prime. Besides, having consumed a 'dragon' before has made me particularly sensitive to these things. If she keeps teasing me like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist.

After all, Shao Mei'er was considered the top bombshell of Jinling City. It was one thing for her to have a bewitching face that could stir a man's heart, but her body was also incredibly hot.

"Enough chit-chat. Send me the address. I have a new task for you!"

The moment she heard there was a new task, Shao Mei'er stopped flirting. She quickly asked, "Stinky Dad, what is it?"

"Investigate the Su Corporation for me."

Lin Xiao had wanted to do this since yesterday but hadn't found the time. Su Qingning was obsessed with taking back the Su Corporation, and he couldn't just stand by and watch.

Although I don't really care about the so-called Su Corporation, I have my own plans. Whether we divorce in three months or not, I'm going to build her a top-tier business empire. Consider it my wedding gift to her.

Shao Mei'er laughed. "Stinky Dad, are you planning to help your wife get the Su Corporation back?"

"That's the idea."

"But what's the point of investigating a company on the brink of bankruptcy? Besides, if you want it back, just let me handle it. I guarantee the Su Corporation will be in your hands by tomorrow morning!"

"What? The Su Corporation is about to go bankrupt?" Lin Xiao asked.

"Exactly. The Su Corporation was actually quite impressive when it was in your wife's father's hands. Unfortunately, Su Daonong is a pig and not cut out for business at all. After he's been messing with it for three years, the company is on the verge of collapse. Stinky Dad, even if you get it back, you'll probably have to file for bankruptcy immediately."

"Just investigate the Su Corporation's financial situation for now. As for the rest, I'll ask Qing Ning what she wants first."

To be honest, I'm inclined to agree with Shao Mei'er's approach. Just use my resources and take over the Su Corporation.

But the last time at the Su Family's home, when Shao Mei'er appeared to help Su Qingning, Su Daonong wouldn't have dared to refuse if Su Qingning had taken the opportunity to demand the company back. But she didn't. Lin Xiao knew she was an incredibly proud person. Since Su Daonong had set the rules, Su Qingning wanted to win back the Su Corporation fair and square, on her own merit.

That's why Lin Xiao decided to have Shao Mei'er investigate the company's financials first. He would decide on the rest after talking to Su Qingning.

"Alright, Stinky Dad," Shao Mei'er said with a laugh. "I'll send you the address of the house right away!"

Lin Xiao acknowledged, and they ended the call. A moment later, he received the name and address of the residential complex from Shao Mei'er. He put away his phone.

"Pei Donglai, are you busy right now?"

"Reporting to the Captain, I'm free. What are your orders?"

"If you're not busy, come with me. I have a gift for you."

Pei Donglai was startled but quickly nodded. Although he didn't know what Lin Xiao intended to give him, Lin Xiao's words were commands to him. He wouldn't dare disobey.

However, when their taxi stopped at the entrance of a particularly high-end residential complex, Pei Donglai realized something was off. But he didn't dare make a peep, afraid that speaking up would displease Lin Xiao.

As soon as Lin Xiao and Pei Donglai got out of the car, a middle-aged man in a suit quickly approached them. He respectfully asked, "Which of you is Mr. Lin Xiao?"

"I am," Lin Xiao said coolly.

"Mr. Lin, hello. My name is Wu Peisheng, the property manager of this complex. Miss Shao has arranged everything. I'll take you to the apartment to have a look!"

Shao Mei'er really is reliable.

Lin Xiao nodded. Following Wu Peisheng into the apartment, Pei Donglai was instantly stunned by the luxury before him.

"Mr. Lin, the apartment is 300 square meters, with a private elevator for the unit. The decorations and everything are all set up. You're all set to move right in."

Lin Xiao nodded again. "Alright, you may go. I'll call you if I need anything."

Wu Peisheng nodded and hurriedly excused himself.

Seeing Pei Donglai looking a bit constrained, Lin Xiao smiled. "Take a look. This is your new home."

Pei Donglai was shocked. "Captain, you mean... you're lending me this apartment to live in?"

"Lend it to you? In your dreams. It's yours."
