Global Hotel.
Inside the presidential suite, a woman's disheveled hair fell across her face, revealing half of her delicate cheek.
When she opened her eyes, she let out a sudden scream.
The ultra-high decibel voice woke Lin Pingfan from his deep sleep.
The woman sat up, pulling the bedsheet over her body, her exquisite cheeks flushed with a mix of crimson and panic.
"You... who are you?! Why are you here?!"
"Weren't you the one who stumbled into my room last night?" Lin Pingfan looked at the beauty before him with amusement, speaking calmly.
"I... I was just drunk! You actually took advantage of me!"
The woman vaguely recalled the events of the previous night. Her father had arranged a marriage for her, forcing her to marry a man she had never met.
How could she possibly accept that?
In a fit of anger, she had gone to a bar alone to drink, only to get too drunk and stumble into the wrong room.
And worse... such an absurd thing had actually happened!
"Beauty, did you forget that all last night you kept shouting about how you didn't want to marry a man you didn't like? You even said I didn't need to take responsibility afterwards. Saying I took advantage of you isn't very fair, is it?" Lin Pingfan explained.
Hearing this, the woman bit her lower lip. She vaguely remembered that she had indeed said such things last night—she had gone to the wrong room and willingly initiated things with the man before her.
She was none other than Ye Yaxin, the eldest daughter of the Ye Family!
An elite university graduate, female CEO of Jiahua Group, and the proud darling of Haizhou!
Countless people pursued her outside. If word of this got out, how could she ever face anyone?
Since what was done was done, she could only cover it up!
She absolutely could not let outsiders know about this!
"Last night... was just a misunderstanding!"
"Can a misunderstanding happen five times?"
"Shut up!"
Agitated, Ye Yaxin grabbed a pillow and hurled it at him. The quilt slipped down as she moved, offering a breathtaking view!
At the same time, a tearing pain spread through her entire body.
"You are not allowed to tell a soul about this, or I swear I won't let you off!"
With her mind in complete turmoil, Ye Yaxin only wanted to get away from here as fast as possible.
"You! Close your eyes, and don't you dare open them!"
Seeing the highly agitated woman, Lin Pingfan didn't say much more. This was simply an unexpected aftermath of his return; both of them were adults, and there was no need to make a big deal out of it.
What surprised him slightly, however, was that this woman had actually been a virgin.
Lin Pingfan closed his eyes obediently. Making sure he wasn't peeking, Ye Yaxin endured the pain in her body and slowly stood up. Looking at the mess in the room, she couldn't fathom why she had been so crazy last night!
Finally, she got dressed. Finding her ripped stockings, she picked them up and tossed them straight into the trash can!
Before leaving, she took twenty thousand yuan from her bag and threw it on the bed. "Consider that payment for my services last night! Remember, this must not leak out, or I will make your life a living hell!"
With that, she limped out of the room.
After she left, Lin Pingfan slowly got up, walked over to the wheelchair in the room, and sat down, looking out the window at the scenery of Haizhou.
Yesterday, when he walked out of Modu Prison, he returned straight to Haizhou. He had planned to stay for a single night before going to fulfill the marriage pact arranged by Old Ghost, but instead, a drunken woman had broken into his room, and they had ended up together multiple times.
Lin Pingfan pushed the thought to the back of his mind. Remembering the events of the past, his deep eyes flashed with a chilling light!
Five years ago, he once stood at the pinnacle of Haizhou City, a figure out of reach to everyone.
Pity that the Lin Family was wiped out overnight, destroyed in a single night, with his parents jumping into the river to their deaths!
As for him, his legs were broken, and he was framed and thrown into prison for five years.
He was cast into that place known as hell on earth—Modu Prison.
In that ghostly place, anyone who survived could be said to be blessed by the goddess of fortune.
Over these five years, he had never given up on himself!
He had endured countless agonies, countless brushes with death!
From a fallen young master tossed into prison, he had been forged under Old Ghost's tutelage into the Guardian God of Yanxia!
Lord!
That was the title of respect bestowed upon him by the entirety of Yanxia and the world at large!
His medical skills were divine, capable of bringing the dead back to life and putting flesh back on bones!
His martial prowess spanned the globe, slaughtering every enemy who dared to cross him!
His return to Haizhou this time served two purposes: to repay kindness, and to exact revenge!
"I will definitely uncover the truth behind what happened back then!"
Lin Pingfan clenched his fists, packed his things, and prepared to leave the hotel, pushing his wheelchair.
At the same time, several luxury cars were parked at the hotel entrance. Standing beside each car were two men in suits and sunglasses, all wearing identical buzz cuts, exuding an intense aura of oppression.
When Lin Pingfan rolled out of the hotel in his wheelchair, the men at the entrance shouted in unison: "Welcome home, Lord!"
The earth-shaking shout immediately drew the attention of countless passersby.
"Good heavens! That's Ye Qingguo, the chairman of Jiahua Group!"
"With a lineup this massive, they're here to welcome a disabled man in a wheelchair?!"
"Keep your voice down, watch out lest someone hears you!"
Passersby stopped in their tracks, staring at the bustling scene before them.
A slightly plump man hurried over to Lin Pingfan's side, a wide smile on his face. "Lord, long time no see!"
"Uncle Ye, long time no see," Lin Pingfan nodded and said.
"Who on earth is this cripple, to make Ye Qingguo treat him with such deference?!"
For a moment, the onlookers were utterly shocked, never expecting the head of the Haizhou Ye Family to be so polite to such a young cripple in a wheelchair.
Without giving them a chance to gossip further, however, Ye Qingguo helped Lin Pingfan into a car, and the motorcade drove straight away from the hotel.
Inside the car, Lin Pingfan suddenly asked, "Uncle Ye, why did Old Ghost suddenly want me back to marry Ye's younger sister?"
"We've never met before. Won't she have objections?"
"Lord, rest assured, even if she has objections, she still has to marry you. This is the supreme honor of our Ye Family!" Ye Qingguo looked at Lin Pingfan with unconcealed excitement.
He knew that the man before him was none other than the legendary Yanxia Lord!
For that reason alone, their Ye Family should consider themselves immensely honored!
With that, Ye Qingguo pulled out his mobile phone, swiped to a photo, and handed it to Lin Pingfan. "Lord, I've already spoken to my daughter about the marriage. Take a look, this is her picture..."
Lin Pingfan nodded, but the moment his eyes fell on the phone screen, his calm expression instantly shattered!
How could it be her?!
