Chapter 26: The Heiress of the Wealthy Clan

Xiang Peng glanced at those ample, snowy-white curves and couldn't help but freeze.

They were truly surging; they had to be at least an E or an F cup.

Lin Xuan smiled brightly and took the initiative to greet him. "Hello, I'm Lin Xuan."

Xiang Peng was instantly startled. "What? You're Lin Xuan, the daughter of the Lin family?"

Lin Xuan looked at Xiang Peng with a blank expression. "Do you know me, mister?"

Xiang Peng gave a bitter smile. "I think everyone in Wushi knows the daughter of the Lin family, a prominent powerhouse."

Suddenly, Xiang Peng became agitated. "Why are you here? I heard you went missing yesterday, and the Lin family nearly turned all of Wushi upside down looking for you."

Xiang Peng looked at Li Moxuan, his mind filled with a myriad of questions. "But Miss Lin, how did you end up with Master Li?"

Li Moxuan explained calmly, "I was tracking the location of the worker's corpse and discovered that someone had imprisoned her, so I brought her back on my way."

"I see." Xiang Peng realized what had happened and patted Li Moxuan on the shoulder. "Master Li, you’ve performed a great service this time! By saving the daughter of the Lin family, you are set to soar and rise through the ranks!"

Clearly, this big-breasted, naive little girl was of no ordinary status.

"The Lin family? Never heard of them!" Li Moxuan had no interest in so-called powerful families.

At this moment, Xiang Peng regained his composure. "Right, I must notify the Lin family immediately."

Xiang Peng hurriedly placed a call to the Lin family. "Alright, Miss Lin, your family will be here soon to pick you up!"

Lin Xuan nodded excitedly. "Thank you, mister!"

The surging waves on her chest undulated with her movements, lively, adorable, and full of vitality.

Li Moxuan reminded her from the side, "Since you’re back, don't forget what you promised me."

Lin Xuan spread her small hands. "My phone is lost. I'll give it to you once they arrive!"

"Fine, no problem!"

...

Ten minutes passed.

The sky had turned completely dark. Even with the bright floodlights at the construction site, the surrounding forest remained pitch black, as if concealing all manner of demons and monsters. The chilling evening breeze made everyone present feel a sense of dread.

Just then, headlights appeared in the distance, approaching from the mountain. They sped along and quickly arrived at the scene.

It was a black Jeep. Four men jumped out.

One of them, a middle-aged man in a black tactical outfit, looked imposing and spirited. His expression was stern and his gaze sharp; it was clear he was not a man to be trifled with.

Behind him followed three burly bodyguards in black suits.

Xiang Peng and the others couldn't help but gasp. "That’s Pan Yang? My god, the Lin family actually sent Pan Yang!"

At this moment, Lin Xuan trotted over happily. "Uncle Pan, you’re the one who came to get me? That’s great."

After confirming that Lin Xuan was unharmed, Uncle Pan finally let out a sigh of relief. "Young Miss, thank goodness you're safe. The whole Lin family was in an uproar the moment you went missing. What on earth happened?"

Lin Xuan lowered her head in guilt. "I'm sorry. I was just bored, so I snuck away from my bodyguards to go shopping!"

Lin Xuan pointed at Li Moxuan. "I was kidnapped, and it was thanks to this brother that I was saved. I promised him fifteen million as a reward. Uncle Pan, please transfer it to him."

Pan Yang’s gaze fell upon Li Moxuan, and he frowned slightly.

Lin Xuan had gone missing yesterday, and now she was released so easily, with a demand for fifteen million? Things couldn't be that simple.

Pan Yang asked arrogantly, "Who are you? Where did you save the young miss from? Tell me everything you know, exactly as it happened!"

Li Moxuan gave a disdainful snort. "You don't need to know that! Just fulfill the promise."

Li Moxuan could see that Pan Yang had a steady stance and deep, controlled breathing; he was a martial artist. But to him, he was nothing more than a common fighter.

Pan Yang said coldly, "You saved her, so there will naturally be a reward. But it's better to get things clarified so as not to invite trouble upon yourself."

Li Moxuan finally detected the sinister tone and frowned. "What do you mean? Are you suspecting me of kidnapping her?"

Xiang Peng immediately stepped forward to clarify for Li Moxuan. "Mr. Pan, please don't misunderstand. This Master Li is my friend, and saving Miss Lin was purely a coincidence."

Pan Yang retorted coldly, "This is not your place to speak."

Pan Yang was extremely rude to Xiang Peng. Xiang Peng’s expression darkened, suppressing the anger in his heart. "What did you say..."

Liu Hua and the others quickly urged Xiang Peng to calm down. "Mr. Xiang, please, keep your temper..."

As the atmosphere grew tense, Lin Xuan hurriedly clarified, "Uncle Pan, it really wasn't him! He saved me!"

Pan Yang was unimpressed. "Young Miss, this world is far more complex than you think. Let me handle these matters. Stand behind me, it's safer!"

Lin Xuan said anxiously, "Uncle Pan, this is repaying kindness with enmity."

Even though Lin Xuan was angry, Pan Yang did not change his attitude. He signaled to the three bodyguards behind him. They quickly surrounded Lin Xuan.

Pan Yang stepped forward, unleashing an overbearing and aggressive aura, looking down at Li Moxuan. "I ask that you give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise, I will have no choice but to take you back to the family for a thorough investigation."

A flicker of anger appeared in Li Moxuan's eyes. "Whoever you are, stop wasting my time with this nonsense! I don't have time to play games with you. You have two choices: either pay the reward, or I'll just kill her, and then it won't count as saving her."

"Saving someone comes with so much trouble; you people are truly annoying!"

After Li Moxuan said this, the entire scene fell into a dead silence. Everyone looked at Li Moxuan with sheer shock. Their faces all seemed to say: Is this guy crazy?

He’d kill her if they didn't pay? And that would mean he didn't save her? What an overbearing logic!

After a moment of silence, Pan Yang laughed and looked at Li Moxuan with disdain. "Kid, you’d better figure out who we are before you speak to us. Do you even know what you're saying?"

Li Moxuan said irritably, "Shut your bird beak. I don't care what you are. I'll give you five seconds. If the money isn't paid, everyone dies!"

Then, as if no one else was there, Li Moxuan began to count down!

"Five... four..."

Seeing that Li Moxuan was serious and not joking, Pan Yang’s face darkened, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

*Crack, crack, crack...*

He clenched his iron fists, gritting his teeth as he said, "Since you are courting death, I will grant your wish!"

Just as Pan Yang prepared to lunge at Li Moxuan, a faint sound came from the forest, drawing everyone's attention.

They peered into the darkness.

A large, yellow-furred weasel with graying hair stood on its hind legs and walked toward them. The creature was a full meter and a half tall, looking like a half-grown child.

Its eerie green eyes revealed a deep, crafty glint. It curled its lips into an evil, charming smile and spoke in human tongue:

"Tell me, do I look more like a human, or an immortal?"
