Urban's Fury: The War Dragon God-Chapter 1289: Nine Truths and One Lie

Lin Changge watched Gao Yuanyuan supporting Li Feng into the business suite, his expression fluctuating.

"Disperse."

Lin Changge turned around and walked away without looking back, and the others, having nothing else to see, also dispersed.

"Slap."

Back in his room, Lin Changge slapped his subordinate: "Didn't you tell me everything was going smoothly? Why is Lin Luoyin unscathed?"

Lin Changge was very agitated because when Lin Luoyin left, her gaze flickered over him, and the chill in her eyes made him shudder.

According to the plan, Lin Luoyin should be under the influence of the aphrodisiac, not fully conscious, and her rage towards Bai Yutang was expected.

But at the scene, he found the situation unfolding completely differently from his expectations.

Indeed, Lin Luoyin was furious, but there was no desire in her cold gaze, and from the snippets at the scene, it seemed Li Feng had mistakenly entered Lin Luoyin's room.

Then he saw Lin Luoyin coming out of the bath, which sparked her rage.

Although some embarrassment and loss of face occurred, upon closer inspection, aside from some damaged reputation and Bai Yutang being beaten half to death for witnessing Lin Luoyin's bath, his elaborate scheme was a failure.

The subordinate, having been slapped, remained composed and looked at Lin Changge clearly.

"No, Young Master, the Seventh Elder was definitely under the influence of the aphrodisiac, and the scene was likely staged for us."

"Hmm?"

Lin Changge frowned.

"Young Master, the timeline doesn't match. We learned Bai Yutang returned to his room an hour ago, and we called Gao Yuanyuan to reveal everything fifteen minutes ago."

"If Bai Yutang mistakenly entered the room and angered the Seventh Elder by seeing her come out of the bath, where did the hour in between go?"

"Why didn't it flare up immediately, but only occurred just now?"

Lin Changge inhaled sharply; he didn't consider this earlier due to Lin Luoyin's unsettling gaze. But now being reminded, Lin Changge suddenly realized.

In the next second, Lin Changge's face darkened like water.

"If that's the case, it means Lin Luoyin already knows I'm plotting against her, and this act was performed to lure me out."

Thinking of this, Lin Changge regretted not being discreet, wanting to see his aunt embarrassed at the scene, but instead, he exposed himself.

"It should be so; the Seventh Elder must have encountered something with Bai Yutang; only then could the aphrodisiac be neutralized."

"If we had acted earlier, perhaps we could have exploited the Seventh Elder's vulnerability, but our caution cost us the advantage."

Lin Changge entered the living room; being cautious against Lin Luoyin seemed necessary.

The Ancient Martial Family Lin, especially the seventh house, is the foundation of the Lin Family. Besides the Clan Leader, each house's Family Head is an Elder with real power, capable of participating in key family matters and even having the authority to replace the Clan Leader.

Although Lin Luoyin is a woman, she holds the position of Family Head and became an Elder, which is quite unorthodox in a traditionally-minded ancient martial family; it indicates Lin Luoyin must be extraordinarily talented, her strength unmatched in the seventh house.

Lin Changge picked up a glass of alcohol and downed it fiercely.

"Saying this now is too late; Lin Luoyin already knows I'm the one causing trouble behind the scenes. Although she hasn't exposed me yet, it's not to make things awkward, but a vendetta has been formed, and she will surely retaliate."

Lin Changge was a bit annoyed; he didn't regret targeting Lin Luoyin, just hadn't expected the outcome to be like this.

Failing to kill the snake leads to personal danger, which is quite problematic.

"Now I must report this to the Clan Leader."

"What are you saying?"

Lin Changge suddenly raised his head to look at his subordinate, unable to disguise the coldness in his eyes.

"Lin Changge, I didn't expect him to be the one plotting against me from the shadows."

Back in the room.

Lin Luoyin sat on the sofa, her cold and beautiful face exuding chill even from a distance.

"Master, I didn't expect Lin Changge either. Just because last time in the hall, you didn't show him respect, I never thought he would be so petty. If someone like him inherits the Clan Leader position, the Lin Family is in danger!"

Li Feng, contrary to his earlier beaten state, resolutely straightened himself.

Lin Luoyin coldly snorted and glanced at Li Feng.

Gao Yuanyuan stood aside, baffled: "Master, Senior Brother, what are you talking about?"

Gao Yuanyuan was indeed confused, clearly her master was about to kill Bai Yutang just now, but how did the conversation turn to the Clan Leader's son, Lin Changge.

Li Feng looked at Lin Luoyin.

"Why are you looking at me? You explain to her."

Lin Luoyin shot a sideways glance at Li Feng, simultaneously warning and threatening.

With approval, Li Feng explained to Gao Yuanyuan.

"Senior Sister, here's what happened, Master was plotted against; someone spiked her drink with aphrodisiac."

"And they deliberately schemed against me too, giving me the room card to where Master was, so after separating from you, I returned and stumbled upon Master in a precarious situation."

"Aphrodisiac?"

Gao Yuanyuan was stunned: "Then you and Master…!"

Lin Luoyin hadn't expected this explanation from Li Feng; her eyes were like lightning on Li Feng, do you have a death wish?

Li Feng, however, solemnly said: "Of course, nothing happened between Master and me; it's just Master was affected by the aphrodisiac, and in desperation, I had to turn on the cold water to reduce heat. I also temporarily sealed Master's Divine Acupoint with a silver needle to prevent her spirit from lashing out."

"Thankfully, Master detected something wrong after drinking, only consuming a small dose, but it's thanks to our Master's strong will that she endured it."

"Moreover, I never instructed the front desk to call you, so when you arrived, I sensed some trickery, someone plotting behind."

"But since Master was soaking in the bathtub earlier, I had to lie, regarding Master's rage...!"

Li Feng swallowed: "It was all an act because I indeed saw Master bathing, though, of course, Master was dressed."

Li Feng's explanation was a bit awkward but mostly true with some falsehood.

Lin Luoyin glared angrily at Li Feng, as if telling him to shut up, while Gao Yuanyuan realized, so this is the truth.

Thinking like this, everything matched up more logically; earlier there seemed to be something amiss.

Reconsidering now, the issue was probably because Master was drugged and embarrassed before Bai Yutang, thus flying into a rage.

"Then earlier?"

"After Senior Sister left, Master wanted to kill me to eliminate the witness, so I had no choice but to suggest finding the mastermind and set this trap to lure them out."

"Then Senior Sister witnessed the events."

Gao Yuanyuan listened; she wasn't surprised about Master wanting to kill Bai Yutang to eliminate the witness, knowing her master hated men, and being seen embarrassed by Bai Yutang was cause for murder.

She just hadn't expected Lin Changge to be plotting against her Master.

"Master, if Lin Changge targeted you, things might not be simple, does Lin Changge have the guts to conspire against Master?"
