Special Expert of Beauty CEO-Chapter 1438 - 1442: Joy Turns to Sorrow

That night, to everyone's surprise, Gao Xing's Lin Kuang actually took Qin Tian out for a late-night snack.

Qin Tian spent the entire time flattering, making the guy feel incredibly pleased and satisfied. After this, Lin Kuang trusted Qin Tian even more.

For the next few days, Lin Kuang basically stayed at Lin Dong's estate.

After accepting the beauty Qin Luo who Lin Dong proactively offered, Lin Zhong also visited Lin Dong's estate more frequently.

Outwardly claiming to discuss matters related to setting up the Dragon Slayer Department with Lin Dong, in reality, his estate had become Lin Zhong's tender haven. Every few days Lin Zhong would come here, with Lin Dong always entertaining him amidst songs and dances.

And that Qin Luo, she seemed quite adept at attending to men. In just a few days, she made the lustful Lin Zhong unable to leave her.

Lin Dong was pleased to see Lin Zhong coming to his estate. He even vacated a small courtyard specifically for Lin Zhong, allowing him to live there with Qin Luo.

However, what Lin Dong was more wary of were the four Silver Armor Guards who followed Lin Zhong everywhere.

These four guards were masters from the City Lord Mansion, solely responsible for Lin Zhong's safety, disregarding anything else.

But having tails following always made Lin Dong feel they were Zhang Tianlong's planted spies around Lin Zhong.

"Captain Lin, they are all guards of the City Lord. Don't worry, the City Lord sent them to protect me; it's a form of care for me, Lin. They only handle safety, not other matters. Come, come, drink…"

Lin Zhong seemed to sense Lin Dong's concern and, while in the room, raised his wine glass, holding Qin Luo, appearing very tipsy, and said.

"Alright, with your words, Commander Lin, I can rest assured. Come, let's continue drinking!"

Lin Dong, accompanied by Lin Kuang, toasted Lin Zhong.

"Hah, the wine's finished again... Second brother, hurry to the wine cellar, and bring out another jar of the wine I've stored…"

With the wine finished, Lin Dong immediately instructed Lin Kuang to fetch more wine.

In front of Lin Dong and Lin Zhong, Lin Kuang had no standing but quickly agreed, got up, and headed toward the wine cellar.

Lin Kuang didn't drink much, but he seemed quite tipsy too. He fetched the wine from the cellar, locked the door, and carried the wine jar toward the guest room.

Turning the corridor, he suddenly stopped, looking delighted: "Haha, Leng Yu, you're here? Have you thought it through?"

Leng Yu stood on the distant corridor, and Lin Kuang set down the wine jar, walking directly toward Leng Yu.

"I've thought it through."

Leng Yu whispered, "If you truly have feelings for me, we can try…"

"Hahaha, deal!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Kuang laughed heartily and tried to embrace Leng Yu, but she stepped back, avoiding him.

"Wow… you smell so good…"

Lin Kuang, looking quite pleased, boasted, "Leng Yu, staying with me is the right choice. Haha, do you know whom I'm about to drink with? Commander Lin Zhong! Hehe, my future is limitless…"

"Don't worry, if you become my woman, I will certainly treat you well in the future…"

Lin Kuang spoke as he tried to lay hands on Leng Yu again.

Leng Yu frowned and said, "Lin Kuang, you're drunk today…"

"I'm not drunk!"

"You are… How about this, finish drinking, sober up, and then come find me, we can have a good talk, okay?"

"Alright… of course, alright… hehe, then wait for me, I'll go drink with Lord Lin Zhong first, tonight… tonight I'll come find you, hehe…"

Lin Kuang, with a lecherous grin, after speaking, winked at Leng Yu, turned around, grabbed the wine jar, and continued toward the guest room: "Wait for me, tonight I'll keep you company, hahaha…"

Good things make people feel spirited, and carrying the wine jar back to the guest room, Lin Kuang found Lin Dong and Lin Zhong still drinking. Entering with a smile, he said: "Lord Lin, the wine is here, let me personally pour for you, enjoy…"

Beside them, Qin Luo also came up warmly, pouring wine for Lin Zhong.

"Haha, Lin Dong, your brother is not bad!" Lin Zhong complimented Lin Kuang.

As he spoke, he picked up a bowl of wine and drank it all at once.

"Don't just take care of me, you guys drink too, Qin Luo, accompany me for a drink… hahaha!"

Holding Qin Luo, Lin Zhong started getting handsy after getting drunk.

Receiving a compliment from Lin Zhong, Lin Kuang looked smug, personally poured a bowl of wine, and toasted Lin Zhong.

"Brother, you fill up too…"

After toasting, Lin Kuang, holding the wine jar, walked over to Lin Dong, pouring his drink full.

Lin Dong stretched lazily, picked up the wine bowl, ready to drink it down.

But as he was about to take a sip, being a heavy drinker yet not utterly drunk, Lin Dong sensed something unusual.

"Second brother, did you take this wine from our cellar?"

Lin Dong had experienced several assassination attempts, two of which involved poisoning, which led him to specifically learn to identify poison.

And at this moment, he sensed something inappropriate in the wine!

"Brother, yeah, I just got it out, what's the matter?" Lin Kuang was oblivious.

"Lord Lin, don't drink this wine yet!"

Lin Dong sniffed carefully, the more he sniffed, the more he felt something was seriously off. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"What's the matter?"

Holding Qin Luo, Lin Zhong froze upon hearing Lin Dong's words, his alertness picking up on something from Lin Dong's gaze, feeling uneasy, and immediately picked up the wine bowl in front of him, sniffing it carefully.

"There's poison!"

Having been a Long Yin undercover, Lin Zhong's research on poison was more acute than Lin Dong's. One sniff and his brows furrowed, immediately growing furious!

"Lin Dong! How dare you poison the wine to harm me?!"

Clang!

Overwhelmed with unease and with a clatter of the wine bowl, Lin Zhong stood up directly!

"Lord Lin, what do you mean by this? I'm innocent!"

Lin Dong looked baffled, stood up, and turned to Lin Kuang: "Second brother, what's with the wine you fetched?"

Lin Kuang was even more clueless than Lin Dong: "Brother, I took it from the wine cellar…"

Lin Kuang looked at Lin Zhong, seeing the murderous intent in the latter's eyes, he jumped, and said, "Lord Lin, you wouldn't think I'm trying to harm you, right? There's no reason for me to… did I make a mistake, the wine was something I just drank too…"

Lin Zhong was exercising luck to detoxify, feeling the poison spreading, his True Qi couldn't hold it back!

"Puh!"

Lin Zhong spat a mouthful of blood!

Lin Dong and Lin Kuang were startled, seeing blood streaming from Lin Zhong's mouth, nostrils, and eyes, which were swelling with dark purple blood!

"This, this…"

Lin Zhong poisoning and bleeding in his own estate! Lin Dong, scared pale, was left trembling, overwhelmed, and at a loss!
