Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

When he heard Yu Jinmo’s question, Lin Bai’s heart clenched up and he thought to himself, “This is bad.”

He had not noticed it earlier and blurted it out without thinking. He had forgotten that he should not have known about this matter.

But since he had already said it, he could only try his best to make up for it.

“Mr. A told me.”

Lin Bai could not think of a better reason and could only say so.

Yu Jinmo did not think too much and believed him.

“So it was him who said it. No wonder then.”

“Seriously, I initially wanted to give you a surprise, but now I can’t.”

Yu Jinmo had always wanted to see Lin Bai’s expression when he hears the news, but now that she could not see it, she immediately felt that it was a pity.

Lin Bai took the opportunity to change the topic.

“Mr. A just casually mentioned it. I don’t know much about the specifics. Can you explain it to me properly?”

Thus, the topic smoothly shifted to the events that happened in the Ye family between Yu Jinmo and his father.

As she told the story, Yu Jinmo gradually calmed down, and all her previous nervousness and anxiety were swept away.

Lin Bai was also secretly glad that he reacted fast enough. Otherwise, he would have been exposed.

The trouble that the Yunding Villa had caused was far beyond Lin Bai’s expectations.

If he wanted to hide his wealth from Yu Jinmo and her father in the future, it would only become more and more difficult. He had to be even more careful.

Otherwise, it would be like what happened just now. Perhaps it was just an unintentional remark but it would reveal the information that he wanted to hide.

As Yu Jinmo spoke, she felt her stomach twitch. Only then did she remember that she had forgotten to eat.

“I’m so hungry. You haven’t eaten yet, right? Let’s go eat first. We can talk while we eat,” Yu Jinmo suggested.

Lin Bai also felt hungry after hearing what she said, so he said, “There shouldn’t be anything left in the cafeteria at this time. Let’s go out and eat. What do you want to eat?”

Yu Jinmo said, “It doesn’t matter what I eat, but I want to eat in the cafeteria. It’s best to walk around the school a few more times after eating.”

“I want to let those people who spread rumors take a good look. You weren’t caught at all. You’re still fine!”

Although Lin Bai didn’t really care about it, Yu Jinmo didn’t want the person she liked to have rumors about him spread by his classmates all the time.

Lin Bai couldn’t help but laugh. “Okay, okay, okay. I’ll listen to you.”

Thus, the two of them went to the cafeteria and purposely chose a place with a lot of people on campus to stroll around.

Fortunately, ever since Lin Bai learned the Divine-level fighting technique, his physical fitness had become much better than before.

If it were in the past, he would have been so tired that his waist and legs would have ached.

After finally sending Yu Jinmo back, Lin Bai only wanted to hurry back to the dormitory to sleep.

But at that moment, something happened again.

Wang Huaigu called him in a hurry. The first thing he said was, “Something big has happened in the mine! Someone might die!”

Lin Bai was so scared that his sleepiness vanished.

“Calm down first. Tell me slowly. What exactly happened?”

Wang Huaigu said, “We were preparing to start mining today, but people kept coming over to cause trouble.”

“I called the police several times, but it was useless. When the police came, those people immediately left. When the police left, they came again.”

“They went back and forth all day, and we didn’t do anything!”

“I saw that no one had come to cause trouble during the night, so I thought of rushing the work, so I let the workers mine overnight.”

“In the end, for some unknown reason, the explosive detonated ahead of schedule, injuring 20 to 30 workers.”

“More than ten of them were seriously injured and have already been hospitalized. Two of them are in the ICU!”

“The doctor said that the situation is not optimistic. The two of them might not be able to last through the night.”

“Someone must have tampered with the explosives. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be like this!”

Wang Huaigu’s voice was filled with despair.

“More than a dozen workers are seriously injured. Just the medical fees alone will amount to a huge sum. If the two in the ICU can’t survive, the compensation will be even greater. What am I going to do?”

Lin Bai was furious when he heard that.

He did not need to guess to know that it was definitely Shen Wanqing’s doing again.

He wanted to take back Yunding Villa, along with the underground gold mine and Rare Earth mine.

It was one thing for him to play dirty tricks, but he actually tampered with the explosives. was he really not afraid of killing people?!

Lin Bai recalled that when he used the Divine-level Human Sensing technique to observe Shen Wanqing, he saw that he had committed the crime of forcefully demolishing and killing people.

It seemed that he really didn’t care about human lives.

Lin Bai clenched his fists so tightly that they made cracking sounds. He really wanted to rush to Shen Wanqing immediately and let him have a taste of what it was like to be on the verge of death in the ICU.

However, his remaining rationality told Lin Bai that that would only make things worse and would not really solve the problem.

Therefore, Lin Bai could only suppress his anger and said to Wang Huaigu, “You take good care of the injured workers for the time being. I will think of a way to settle the situation with Shen Wanqing. I won’t let him continue to cause trouble.”

However, Wang Huaigu said, “Actually, I’m calling because I want to discuss with you about the transfer fees. Can you return it to me?”

“I really don’t dare to touch the two mines in Yunding Mountain Villa anymore. Why don’t you buy the mining rights back?”

“There are so many workers injured on my side. The medical fees and all kinds of compensation added together will definitely be a large sum. I might have worked for years for nothing.”

“Just take it as pity for me. Take back the mining rights and return the transfer fees to me, will you?”

Wang Huaigu begged subserviently. Anyone who heard it would be moved.

Naturally, it was the same for Lin Bai.

If the money was still in Lin Bai’s hands, he would definitely return it to Wang Huaigu without hesitation.

But the problem was that the money had already been spent.

Three billion for the prophecy tablet and 500 million for Summer Dream. These two things had already cost more than 90% of Lin Bai’s savings. 𝐟𝐫𝗲𝙚ｗ𝚎𝐛𝙣𝐨𝙫𝘦𝗹.c૦m

He only had about 300 million yuan left in his card now, and it was barely enough for the transfer fee.

He had the intention to return the transfer fee, but the problem was, how could he do so?

Lin Bai took a deep breath and said, “Mr. Wang, I’m also very sorry about what happened.?If you have a hard time making money, I can lend you some money within my ability but I can’t refund the transfer fee because I’ve already used up the money.”

Wang Huaigu obviously didn’t believe that Lin Bai could spend a total of 1.8 billion in one day.

He felt that this was an excuse that Lin Bai made up in order not to refund the money.

“Mr. Lin, you can at least pay me back, even if you only have half the amount left!”

“Anyway, I really don’t dare to touch the two mines in the Yunding Villa.”

“Besides, when you sold them to me, you didn’t tell me that you had a dispute with others. Now that such a thing has happened, you should be more or less responsible, right?”

“If you insist on not refunding the money, then I can only go through legal means to protect my rights and interests.”

“This is a major issue that you hid from me. If we really take this to court, there is a high probability that the contract will be void.”

“I don’t want to make things ugly. If you refund the transfer fee to me, this matter will be written off, okay?”
