Li Yuemei feared Mo Lin might act impulsively and harbor murderous intent.
Then she’d be a dead woman for sure.
Li Yuemei didn’t have the confidence to leave alive from the hands of a Nightmare Level Ghost.
Fu Wansan, on the side, was visibly panicked.
He didn’t know whether he should persuade Mo Lin to stop or let Mo Lin take action.
At this moment... it was especially difficult.
If Li Yuemei is really killed, they’ll definitely face a storm-like revenge from the Li Family.
But if Li Yuemei isn’t killed, the Li Family won’t let them off either.
It’s simply a deadlock...
The kind that ends in death no matter what.
The next moment, Chen Xi grabbed Li Yuemei by the neck.
Li Yuemei’s feet lifted off the ground, her cheeks turning red from suffocation.
"I’m not here... with my..." Clearly, she wanted to explain something.
But Chen Xi’s grip was too strong, leaving her unable to articulate herself clearly.
"Let go!" Mo Lin slowly said.
Only then did Chen Xi loosen his grip.
Li Yuemei’s body slammed heavily onto the ground, gasping for air.
She was almost strangled to death just now.
Chen Xi didn’t care who she was.
Even if Li Yuemei were the Heavenly King, it wouldn’t matter.
If Mo Lin told Chen Xi to kill her, Chen Xi would obediently comply.
"Almost strangled me!" Li Yuemei complained, sitting on the ground.
"I’m not here to cause trouble, are you really planning to kill me?"
Hearing this, Mo Lin detected something strange.
"What do you mean?" Mo Lin said slowly.
"This woman wasn’t captured by me, nor did I beat her; it was my brother’s men who did it."
Li Yuemei asked Mo Lin again: "This person is your friend, right?"
"Yeah, she’s my friend."
Hongyan Xun had a decent relationship with Mo Lin, just because she didn’t reveal to the Li Family that Mo Lin killed Li San.
That alone was enough to consider her a friend.
Such friends who don’t betray aren’t common.
Li Yuemei originally intended to cause trouble for Mo Lin.
But when she saw Mo Lin’s Contract Ghost, she changed her mind.
"I can help you rescue her, and I can also help suppress the issue of you killing Li San." Li Yuemei said unhurriedly.
Fu Wansan on the side gaped, seemingly about to drop his jaw.
With an expression of utter disbelief.
Only Mo Lin remained indifferent, showing little reaction.
Strange occurrences always have explanations...
"What’s the condition?" Mo Lin didn’t believe in such fortuitous events.
"You help me... become the heir of the Li Family."
The Li Family is vast... and its affairs are complicated.
The Li Family has three men and one woman.
The eldest brother is the first son, the second brother is the second son, and Li Yuemei is the third daughter.
Li San is a foster child.
The Li Family Master has two wives.
The first wife gave birth to the eldest son, the second wife gave birth to the second son.
As for Li Yuemei, she is the child of the third wife.
Although now she is also the Third Miss of the Li Family, she has no support within the family.
And she has always been oppressed by both brothers.
She has been enduring silently for years.
Until half a year ago, she heard her eldest brother wanted to kill her and her mother, prompting her desire to resist.
Resistance requires strength.
Until today, when she met Mo Lin, the budding sprout of resistance fully blossomed.
Mo Lin was decisive... had courage...
Moreover, he had strength.
These were elements she valued.
Mo Lin surely wouldn’t trust her just on her words.
"Tell me about your family matters," Mo Lin said unhurriedly.
Li Yuemei glanced at Fu Wansan and Zhuang Ruo beside her.
"I’ll just step outside," Fu Wansan instantly understood that some things he shouldn’t hear, so he left.
Zhuang Ruo, too, sensibly left.
Li Yuemei recounted the events of the Li Family to Mo Lin, sparing no details.
Of course, she omitted her grievances within the Li Family.
She shared a lot of important and useful information.
Only then did Mo Lin know that the Li Family wasn’t united.
It’s normal for large families to have a lot going on.
Intrigue and scheming.
"Are you willing to help me?" Li Yuemei asked Mo Lin.
"I can help you, but I have a condition." Mo Lin didn’t immediately agree with Li Yuemei; he proposed his own condition.
"I want the Netherworld’s Nether Fire," Mo Lin said slowly.
Li Yuemei stood up excitedly, exclaiming.
Maybe realizing she was too loud, she quickly shut her mouth.
"Netherworld’s Nether Fire? Are you serious?"
She had seen that flame before, it was terrifying, not something a human could tame.
The flame could burn everything.
Li Yuemei had witnessed people trying to tame the Netherworld’s Nether Fire, only to meet gruesome ends.
"I’m serious, I truly want it," Mo Lin’s attitude was very serious, not joking at all.
The Netherworld’s Nether Fire is truly a treasure.
"If you can tame the Netherworld’s Nether Fire, I can give it to you."
"The premise is, I must become the heir of the Li Family, otherwise, I won’t have access to the Netherworld’s Nether Fire."
The Netherworld’s Nether Fire, that thing is currently the Li Family’s treasure.
Unless one is the heir of the Li Family, without the patriarch’s permission, no one can access the Netherworld’s Nether Fire.
That flame is rather touchy within the Li Family; many covet it secretly.
And that flame, there’s simply no way to tame it.
After considering everything, Li Yuemei agreed to Mo Lin’s request.
The premise being, Mo Lin has the ability to tame the Netherworld’s Nether Fire.
"Okay, I will definitely make you the heir of the Li Family."
Mo Lin suddenly felt invigorated.
That’s the Netherworld’s Nether Fire...
The first time he saw it, Mo Lin was extremely envious...
He never imagined he’d have the opportunity to obtain the Netherworld’s Nether Fire.
Undoubtedly, Mo Lin wouldn’t miss such a fortuitous windfall.
"I’m glad we can collaborate."
Saying this, Li Yuemei took out her phone, exchanging contact information with Mo Lin.
"In the future, I’ll tell outsiders you’re my bodyguard, and I’ll arrange for you to gradually enter the Li Family as a bodyguard."
"No problem, I can handle the bodyguard role, I’m familiar with it..."
Previously, Mo Lin had worked for Fu Wansan as a bodyguard, so he knew the ropes well.
"Hongyan Xun... I want to rescue her as soon as possible." Mo Lin restrained his emotions, speaking slowly.
The sooner he rescues Hongyan Xun, the better, Mo Lin doesn’t like waiting.
Nor does he want Hongyan Xun to suffer undue torment.
"Tomorrow... I’ll take you to rescue her."
"Can’t wait until tomorrow, let’s go now." Mo Lin despises waiting. Chapters first released on Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
Rescuing someone... the sooner the better.
"Alright, I’ll take you now," Li Yuemei couldn’t argue with Mo Lin, so she nodded in agreement.
Then they slowly left the room.
Fu Wansan stood outside the door, anxiously.
"Mo brother, how did it go?" Fu Wansan saw Mo Lin come out, and anxiously asked him.
"It’s fine now, the issue is resolved," Mo Lin said patiently.
Fu Wansan stole a glance at Li Yuemei, seeing her smiling face, he accepted Mo Lin’s words.
"Good that it’s okay."
It felt like a dream.
The matter was resolved so effortlessly.
He couldn’t help but marvel at Mo Lin’s strength.
The issue’s perfect resolution was entirely owing to Mo Lin’s prowess.
Without Mo Lin, Fu Wansan and the others would’ve died several times already.
"Mo brother, thank you, I’ll forever remember this kindness," Fu Wansan sincerely thanked Mo Lin.
