Lin Xuan curled his lips and said, "They should be here soon."
As soon as Lin Xuan finished speaking, people in police uniforms walked in one after another.
Lin Li's eyes widened.
Police?
The leading police officer said, "Lin Li, for manufacturing and selling fake medicines, illegally accumulating wealth, and intentionally causing injury leading to a miscarriage, your assets are hereby seized. Take him away."
Two police officers stepped forward and pinned Lin Li down.
Lin Li shouted, "On what grounds are you arresting me? I was scammed too! You can't arrest me."
The lead officer remained expressionless. "Take him away."
Lin Li struggled.
"Let go, let go of me right now."
"Lin Xuan, just you wait! I won't let you off so easily."
Lin Li's voice gradually faded away.
Lei Hui frowned and said, "Why do I feel like just throwing Lin Li in jail is letting him off too easy?"
Lin Xuan smirked, "No, Lin Li will be released very soon."
"Ah?" Butler Wang and Lei Hui were stunned.
They had finally managed to send Lin Li to prison, and now Lin Xuan was going to let him out?
No, wait.
The boss, Young Master Lin, loved torturing people the most. He must think that Lin Li would be too comfortable in prison.
Therefore, he would release him from prison.
There would definitely be more torturous methods waiting for Lin Li later on.
"Boss," Lei Hui rubbed his hands together, asking curiously, "Hurry up and tell us, how do you plan to deal with Lin Li next?"
Lin Xuan's lips curled up. "Qin Ruoyao must hate Lin Li to the core right now. She has been in the psychiatric hospital for two years, and now it's time to let her out."
Butler Wang instantly realized what was going on.
"Young Master Lin, are you planning to let Qin Ruoyao and Lin Li torture each other?"
Lin Xuan nodded. "Exactly."
Butler Wang's eyes lit up.
This would absolutely be a great show.
If they followed the drama between those two later, it would definitely be highly entertaining.
"Qin Ruoyao?" Lei Hui asked curiously. "Who is Qin Ruoyao?"
"She is..." Butler Wang began to explain to Lei Hui.
Lei Hui was stunned. "Boss, I didn't expect your taste in women to be so bad."
To think the boss could actually take a fancy to a woman like Qin Ruoyao.
It was simply unbelievable.
"Ahem, ahem." Lin Xuan coughed. "That's all dark history, dark history."
Lei Hui's eyes also carried a look of eager anticipation for a good show.
This was indeed going to be a great show.
It had to be said, the boss really knew how to torture people.
Offending the boss was Lin Li's sheer bad luck.
Jiang Shuqin had been watching Lin Xuan from a distance all this time.
Lin Xuan stood up.
"Now that the good show is over, we should head back."
He prepared to leave.
"Xuan'er."
Jiang Shuqin walked up to him.
Her face was very pale, and her eyes were red. "I'm sorry. Mom is so sorry to you."
"It was because Mom mistakenly believed the words of those two despicable people, Wang Yajun and Lin Li, that I treated you like that."
"Xuan'er, Mom truly knows she was wrong. Will you forgive Mom?"
Lin Xuan looked at Jiang Shuqin mockingly.
Heh.
Jiang Shuqin finally knew the meaning of regret?
Only, it was too late.
In the past, he longed for familial love, which was why he acted so humble and eager to please in the Lin family.
Now, he no longer desired familial love.
To him, these members of the Lin family were just insignificant strangers.
Lin Xuan spoke coldly, "Ms. Jiang, please mind your words. We have already severed our ties. You are not my mother."
Jiang Shuqin was hurt by Lin Xuan's icy demeanor.
"Xuan'er."
Tears continuously rolled down Jiang Shuqin's face. "I'm sorry. I know the things I did to you before hurt you. Xuan'er, can you give me a chance to make it up to you?"
Lin Xuan revealed a mocking expression.
If he hadn't been reborn and heard these words from Jiang Shuqin, he would definitely have been overjoyed.
However.
He had been reborn.
In his past life, he had seen the true colors of Jiang Shuqin and everyone else in the Lin family crystal clear.
He, Lin Xuan, would absolutely never turn back.
"Make it up to me?" Lin Xuan sneered. He raised an eyebrow and asked in return, "Jiang Shuqin, think about it. How can you possibly compensate me?"
"Give me money? You Lin family members probably don't have much money left on you right now. At most, a hundred or two hundred thousand. That little bit of money is only enough for my daily food expenses. No, it might not even be enough."
The various meats at Night Garden were all flown in by air, the absolute top-tier cuts.
The shipping costs alone were a massive sum.
"Or are you saying you'll take care of me?" Lin Xuan continued, "But I already have a nanny by my side. I don't need your care at all."
Jiang Shuqin was left speechless.
Thinking about it over and over, there was indeed nothing she could do to compensate Xuan'er.
"Xuan'er, being your nanny is fine too," Jiang Shuqin said hurriedly.
As long as she could stay by Xuan'er's side and properly make amends, she was willing to do anything.
"No need," Lin Xuan said coldly. "If I kept you by my side, I'd just find you an eyesore."
Seeing this scene, Butler Wang and Lei Hui cursed, "Serves her right."
They didn't cherish such a good son like Lin Xuan before. What use was there in regretting it now?
There was not a trace of emotion in Lin Xuan's eyes as he looked at Jiang Shuqin.
His gaze was frighteningly cold.
"Jiang Shuqin, spilt water cannot be gathered. For the rest of this life, I will have absolutely no relation to your Lin family. Now that my revenge is complete, just enjoy your impoverished and miserable lives."
"If we ever meet again in the future, I will only treat you as a stranger."
Lin Xuan looked at Lei Hui and Butler Wang. "Let's go."
"Little Xuan."
Jiang Shuqin tried to walk up again, but was blocked by the bodyguards.
She couldn't get close to Lin Xuan at all!
"Xuan'er!" Jiang Shuqin's eyes were filled with extreme pain. "Don't go yet. Stay and talk to me a little longer, please?"
Lin Xuan did not look back.
"Thud—"
Jiang Shuqin knelt heavily on the ground.
She tried to evoke Lin Xuan's love for her as his mother through this action.
No matter what, they were biological mother and son connected by blood.
"Slap, slap, slap—"
Jiang Shuqin began to frantically slap her own face, one slap after another.
"Mom knows she was wrong. I know I was wrong."
"Little Xuan, give me a chance."
"Slap, slap, slap—"
The slaps continued to land on Jiang Shuqin's face.
Jiang Shuqin hit herself very hard, and her face quickly became red and swollen.
"Boss."
Lei Hui reminded him, "Jiang Shuqin is slapping her own face."
Lin Xuan said expressionlessly, "If she loves to slap herself, let her slap. Ignore her."
He continued walking toward the door.
Jiang Shuqin watched helplessly as Lin Xuan got further and further away from her until he completely disappeared from her line of sight.
Jiang Shuqin slumped onto the ground, her face deathly pale.
"Xuan'er, I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry. Mom is truly sorry to you."

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
