Lin Hai hung up the phone and found some commotion in the living room, accompanied by a woman's crying.
"I just took a call, what's all the commotion now?" Lin Hai's head was about to burst from the chaos. It is said that three women make a drama, and with a total of five women at home, big and small, counting himself, they could perform a double act.
Walking downstairs, Lin Hai found Ouyang Xiaoya and Queen Qi softly comforting Ke'er.
And there was also an unfamiliar woman in the living room.
This woman Lin Hai had seen before, she was the young kindergarten teacher.
"Beast Lin, hurry down and comfort your darling daughter," Ouyang Xiaoya called out upon seeing Lin Hai.
"What's going on?" Lin Hai blinked, asking with curiosity.
"The kindergarten wants to expel Ke'er," Queen Qi said.
"Wuwu," Ke'er let out a pitiful cry.
Seeing the man of the house coming in, the young kindergarten teacher hurriedly began to explain: "Mr. Lin, it's , after you taught that couple a lesson last time, Director Tian from the Board of Education issued an ultimatum—if Ke'er is not expelled, the kindergarten can no longer operate. After much consideration, the leaders had no choice but to let go of Ke'er..."
"I should have eradicated them root and stem last time," Lin Hai grumbled unhappily.
Ouyang Xiaoya looked doubtfully at Lin Hai, expressing her surprise, "You hit people?"
"They deserved to die, hitting them was letting them off lightly," Lin Hai narrated in detail what had happened the last time he went to the kindergarten to pick up Ke'er, including how the couple was arrogant and overbearing, kicking and using bricks to bully Ke'er, and also revealed every detail without reservation.
"Damn it, they were worse than beasts!" said Queen Qi indignantly after listening, clenching her delicate fists tightly, clenching her teeth.
"That couple really were beasts!" Ouyang Xiaoya was also very angry.
For the first time, Lin Hai heard the women use the word 'beast' not in reference to himself, which was quite a comforting thought.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, I wasn't strong enough to protect Ke'er. Actually, in kindergarten, she is the best-behaved child," the young kindergarten teacher said apologetically.
Lin Hai waved his hand, saying, "Teacher Ning, it's not your fault."
"Eh, eh? Mr. Lin, how do you know my last name is Ning?" The young kindergarten teacher asked in surprise and confusion.
Ouyang Xiaoya and Queen Qi also looked at him suspiciously, wondering if this beastly guy also had an affair with the female teacher.
Facing the naked questioning in the women's eyes, Lin Hai quickly pointed to Teacher Ning's chest, saying, "You're wearing a name badge that reads 'Ning Qingyuan'."
"Ah, Mr. Lin really does have sharp observational skills..."
After saying this, Teacher Ning blushed slightly for some reason.
Queen Qi and Ouyang Xiaoya glared at Lin Hai, teeth clenched.
Feeling the murderous looks, Lin Hai was utterly puzzled, he only intended to show off his observational skills, why were they looking at him like they wished to castrate him right on the spot.
"Beast Lin, where have you been ogling?"
"Lin Hai, can you not be so lecherous from now on?"
The two women scolded.
Lin Hai's eyes widened as he saw Teacher Ning also blush, he struggled to say, "This, this, I only took a look at Teacher Ning's name badge, why are you reacting so much?"
Lin Hai was speechless, he swore he was wronged this time.
Teacher Ning shyly looked down.
"Cough, that, Teacher Ning, we appreciate you taking care of Ke'er for this period, and we'll take care of the rest," Lin Hai said with a sense of great responsibility, also to divert the topic from just now.
Teacher Ning thought for a moment, though very curious about Lin Hai's actual status, but anyone living in such a luxurious mansion must be someone of significance. She nodded slightly, saying, "I'm really sorry, then I'll take my leave, Mr. Lin."
"No problem at all, Qi, walk Teacher Ning out," commanded Lin Hai, presenting himself as the Family Head.
Queen Qi snorted and personally saw Teacher Ning to the door.
Deep down, Teacher Ning found this Mr. Lin's family relations seemed complicated with two beautiful women in the house.
At the gate of the villa, Queen Qi kindly said, "Teacher Ning, be careful on the road and thank you for taking care of Ke'er."
By now, Teacher Ning had assumed that Queen Qi was Lin Hai's mistress. With that thought, she felt a little embarrassed and somewhat resistant as she said, "Thank you, sister, but are you really content being a canary?"
Queen Qi was startled for a moment. Canary?
"What canary? I despise women who become mistresses the most. They have hands and feet but choose to cling to the rich. Those men are all middle-aged and fat; just thinking about it makes me sick," Queen Qi spoke straightforwardly.
Teacher Ning thought Queen Qi was being hypocritical, clearly being a canary herself, but putting on an air of disdain.
"You wouldn't be thinking that I am Mr. Lin's..." Teacher Ning couldn't find an appropriate way to say the word 'mistress.'
Queen Qi was speechless. This young kindergarten teacher really had a wild imagination; these recent college graduates, what were they thinking?
"Cough cough, let me state clearly, I am the criminal investigation squad captain at the police station, tasked with monitoring Lin Hai's residence. You're overthinking it," Queen Qi stressed seriously.
"Ah?" Teacher Ning was stunned.
"You didn't know, did you? Lin Hai here, all sorts of evidence and clues indicate, he's a prime suspect of being an underwear thief, which is why I'm staying here to keep watch and prevent more women from being victimized, understand?" Queen Qi found it necessary to say this to prove her innocence.
Teacher Ning's eyes widened with disbelief and exclaimed, "Mr. Lin is an underwear pervert?"
Seeing Queen Qi confidently and without hesitation nod her head in confirmation, Teacher Ning felt immense shock and awe. She had not expected Lin Hai to be such a wolf in sheep's clothing.
"From now on, keep your distance from him. Every night I sleep with a gun hidden away, fearing he might burst in suddenly... you know what I mean." Queen Qi uttered these words with gravitas, though internally calculating, fearful that Lin Hai might take a liking to Teacher Ning.
Of course, Teacher Ning was unaware of Queen Qi's thoughts. Being a greenhorn fresh out of college, she had already made up her mind to maintain a firm distance from Lin Hai, worrying for Ke'er having such a beastly father; heaven knows what horrific events could unfold.
