Chapter 147: Qin Menong Is Panicking

"What trouble could possibly come from killing someone who deserved to die? It's a trivial matter, and I can easily handle it," Lin Yang said with a relaxed expression.

"He hadn't even offended you; why did he deserve to die? Can you stop being so arrogant?"

Qin Mengnong felt that Lin Yang was far too conceited and reckless. Relying on his extraordinary martial arts skills to act so wildly meant he would surely run into trouble sooner or later.

"He dared to harbor evil intentions toward you, so he naturally deserved to die. Forget about a mere city bank president; even if the mayor dared to harbor thoughts about you, he would still have to die!" Lin Yang said with overwhelming dominance.

At a time like this, he naturally knew what kind of words a woman loved to hear. Which woman didn't like her man to be dominant and powerful when it came to protecting her?

As a successful career woman, Qin Mengnong preferred a man who was even more dominant and forceful than herself; otherwise, how could he possibly be worthy of her?

One had to admit that Lin Yang was catching on quickly and had already learned how to manipulate a woman's mind. Although Qin Mengnong said nothing aloud, hearing those words genuinely made her feel more at ease and gave her a deep sense of security.

"The mayor of our Lucheng is a woman!" Qin Mengnong felt a secret thrill of joy inside, but she refused to show it in front of Lin Yang, maintaining a serious expression as she changed the subject.

"A woman won't do either! What if Yan Ruyu turns out to be a lesbian?" Lin Yang said with utmost solemnity.

"Pfft!"

It was rare for Lin Yang to make Qin Mengnong laugh directly. She let out a snort of laughter, but instantly reined it in, pulling a stern face and saying, "You have a slick tongue."

"You are quite mistaken. When it comes to the art of having a slick tongue, I am far inferior to you and still need plenty of practice. How about you let me practice a bit more right now, so I can experience your slick tongue as well?"

He had forsaken a night of romance with Murong Yun specifically to rush over and save Qin Mengnong; if he didn't double down and collect compensation from Qin Mengnong, he would be at a massive loss.

Lin Yang's blatant flirtation made Qin Mengnong's heart flutter like a trapped deer.

Some things were like a door: until it was opened, it remained completely airtight. But once opened, it was no longer just an empty notion, stirring up a deep, yearning desire.

This wasn't the first time for Qin Mengnong and Lin Yang. Though she never admitted it in words, her body was completely honest. Having spent the last two days apart from Lin Yang, she had genuinely found it somewhat difficult to fall asleep, feeling utterly empty. In her dreams, she had even absurdly dreamed of wildly making love with Lin Yang.

Upon waking up, the stream in the valley had been babbling softly, flowing on and on!

Lin Yang's naked provocation directly plucked at a certain string in Qin Mengnong's heart, stirring an uncontrollable wave of excitement and anticipation.

"Shameless and despicable!"

Qin Mengnong still scolded Lin Yang with words that contradicted her true feelings, then feigned a serious demeanor and said, "I am talking to you very seriously. Even though you have some skills now, you must understand that there is always someone better. Acting so arrogantly will end up destroying you sooner or later. Do you think you are a Grandmaster? You can't just kill whoever you want."

Lin Yang snapped his fingers and said, "God-mom, you are truly brilliant. You even know that I'm a Grandmaster."

Lin Yang's sudden use of "God-mom" made Qin Mengnong's soul tremble. She still wasn't quite used to it, yet it somehow felt rather thrilling.

It had been a long time since Lin Yang had addressed her that way, and given their current relationship, such a title was no longer appropriate.

Qin Mengnong's cheeks flushed red. Lin Yang asked, "God-mom, why are you blushing?"

"I am not! Stop talking nonsense." Qin Mengnong hurriedly covered her face and turned away.

"Don't deny it, I saw it."

Lin Yang felt a secret sense of triumph inside. *Woman, no matter how capable you are, as long as you've been in my bed, how can I not have you wrapped around my finger?*

"I am talking to you about serious matters, can you be serious for once?" Qin Mengnong felt as though she had completely lost all dignity in front of Lin Yang.

"What I'm saying is serious business too, God-mom."

"Stop calling me God-mom!" Qin Mengnong couldn't take it anymore and raised her voice to stop him.

"Why not, God-mom? You are my God-mom, after all! You were in the past, you are now, and you probably will be in the future."

Lin Yang finally realized why Qin Mengnong was blushing—it turned out she felt ashamed because of the title! That was simply too cool!

Qin Mengnong quickly covered her ears with both hands.

"God-mom, I have something to say, though I'm not sure if I should," Lin Yang said as he walked up in front of her.

"Spit it out if you have something to say! Once you're done, get out of here immediately. The City Defense Bureau officers will be here soon. I will handle whatever comes next; none of this has anything to do with you," Qin Mengnong said with utmost solemnity.

"God-mom, you are so good to me. Even after I killed someone, you're still willing to clean up my mess. But actually, there's no need at all; a single phone call from me can settle it."

Since Lin Yang had dared to kill Liu Yaoming, he had naturally considered the consequences, and this wouldn't affect him in the least.

"Enough, stop bragging in front of me. Do I not know your capabilities? This is not something you can solve with brute force."

Qin Mengnong seemed somewhat angry, feeling that Lin Yang was unappreciative of her kindness and far too arrogant. If this continued, he would run into disaster sooner or later.

She figured she needed to find an opportunity to have a serious talk with Lin Yang, to straighten out his mindset so he wouldn't do whatever he pleased just because he had a little bit of strength.

Lin Yang smiled and said, "I don't like bragging, I just like blowing things out of proportion!"

"Lin Yang!"

Qin Mengnong arched her slender eyebrows and widened her eyes. She was angry!

At that moment, the faint sound of police sirens drifted up from downstairs. Clearly, someone had called the police, and the officers from the City Defense Bureau had arrived.

"They're here fast. Let's get out of here first."

Qin Mengnong's expression changed. She grabbed Lin Yang's hand, hurried him out of the room, took the elevator straight down to the basement, and got back into the car.

Lin Yang felt a touch of warmth in his heart. It seemed his God-mom still loved him deeply; he would definitely have to reward Qin Mengnong properly tonight, otherwise he would be doing a disservice to her concern.

Qin Mengnong's face was somewhat pale, clearly showing that her inner turmoil was far from settled. Although she possessed influence and capability, smoothing over this incident would be exceptionally difficult for her.

Qin Mengnong had even prepared herself for the worst-case scenario: abandoning everything in Lucheng and fleeing with her daughter.

Of course, she would have to take Lin Yang with her.

That was a last resort, but as she sat in the car, her mind was frantically searching for a remedy.

"God-mom, what are you spacing out for? Whatever's on your mind, we can think about it after we get back," Lin Yang said, gently stroking her thigh.

Qin Mengnong was in no mood to fool around with Lin Yang. She slapped his hand away and said in a deep voice, "Let's leave this place first and head home. I need to grab some things; we can't stay at home tonight."

Lin Yang started the car and drove Qin Mengnong away from the hotel.

Throughout the entire journey, Qin Mengnong remained silent, her expression shifting between gloom and uncertainty as she racked her brain for a countermeasure.

Seeing this, Lin Yang deliberately chose not to reveal his identity yet—he figured he would let Qin Mengnong stew in her anxiety a little longer!

Upon returning home, Qin Mengnong said, "Wait for me in the car!"

With that, she hurried upstairs to the study, opened the safe to pack all her important belongings into a suitcase, and then rushed back down to the car.

"Are you planning to go on the run right away?" Lin Yang asked, unable to suppress a chuckle.
