Lu Xuan turned his head to look at the two people on the sofa.
Chen Yubing was sleeping restlessly; one of her long, beautiful legs had somehow ended up draped over Bai Yanxi’s body, and she unconsciously mumbled in her sleep, “Hmph… mine… is bigger than yours…”
Meanwhile, Bai Yanxi, who was being pressed down by her, had her delicate brows tightly furrowed even in her sleep, as if she was experiencing an unpleasant dream, and she instinctively shrank towards Lu Xuan, seeking a more stable reliance.
Lu Xuan found it somewhat amusing; these two women truly were constantly engaged in overt and covert struggles, even when asleep.
He shook his head and redirected his gaze back to his phone.
Lin Zhiling.
A woman who could give birth to a daughter like Zhang Yining, a woman once hailed as the “Queen of Pure Pop” in the entertainment industry, a woman from a top political family in Chunan.
Now, this woman was fiercely approaching him.
He was a little expectant.
He just wondered if the relentless passage of time had left any marks on her face, which once captivated an era.
Old posters and news photos popped up, one after another.
The woman in the photos had bright, intelligent eyes that sparkled with every glance, and she wore a white dress, possessing a pure aura like a lotus on a snow mountain, yet her brows also held a hint of aloof pride that seemed untouched by worldly affairs.
“Tsk tsk, what ancestral grave did Zhang Jianguo dig up in his previous life to marry a woman of this caliber?”
Lu Xuan stroked his chin, a playful glint in his eyes. “It seems Zhang Yining’s ninety-point looks were truly dragged down by her father.”
He casually downloaded one of Lin Zhiling’s most classic album cover photos and uploaded it to the Black Material APP.
No matter who she was or how strong her background, once she entered his territory, if she was a dragon, she had to coil; if she was a tiger, she had to crouch.
Knowing oneself and one’s enemy ensures victory in every battle.
He wanted to see what color this auntie’s underwear was.
【Ding! Detecting new analyzable target character…】
【Analyzing target character information… Please wait…】
On the phone screen, streams of deep blue data flowed like a waterfall around the slightly grainy black and white art photo, filled with a beauty that intertwined technology and mystery.
A few seconds later, the data streams abruptly converged, and lines of clear text appeared below the photo.
【Name: Lin Zhiling】
【Gender: Female】
【Age: 40】
【Looks: 98】
【Control Value: 0 / 100】
【Measurements: 82 / 62 / 79】
【Height: 175cm】
【Weight: 53KG】
【Target Evaluation: The extreme desire for emotional connection and the ingrained belief in the supremacy of self-interest, instilled since childhood, create a fierce conflict within her, leading to an extremely self-centered personality, willing to resort to any means to achieve her goals.】
“Ninety-eight points for looks?” Lu Xuan’s eyebrows involuntarily twitched.
A forty-year-old woman, and her looks could still be maintained at ninety-eight points? Her maintenance efforts were simply defying the heavens.
She probably wouldn't fall behind the two stunning beauties in their twenties beside him, and might even possess a few more points of mature charm.
Upon seeing the evaluation “willing to resort to any means to achieve her goals,” the curve of Lu Xuan’s lips deepened.
Isn’t this just the female version of himself?
Being able to fall out with her family for the sake of an ethereal love in her youth showed that she had a streak of madness and decisiveness in her bones.
With such a person, either don’t provoke her, or if you do, you must crush her completely in one go, so she can never rise again!
【Black material generating… Please wait…】
【Black material generation complete!】
【Option One: Redeem complete black material package for 100 points.】
【Option Two: Redeem complete black material package with 1 black material voucher.】
“One hundred points, redeem.” Lu Xuan unhesitatingly chose the former.
【Redemption complete】
The next second, a detailed black material file appeared before his eyes.
【Black Material Core Details: Lin Zhiling, the third young lady of the Chunan Lin family, secretly poisoned her biggest competitor during the “Super New Voice” singing competition national finals at the age of eighteen, causing permanent vocal cord damage; she also hired someone to create a car accident, resulting in another popular contestant being seriously injured and withdrawing from the competition.】
“Hmph!”
Even Lu Xuan couldn’t help but let out a light laugh upon seeing this line of text.
Good heavens, she dared to poison and cause a car accident just for a singing competition championship?
This Auntie Lin Zhiling truly was a venomous beauty with a ruthless heart.
He continued to read.
【Specific Description: Target character Lin Zhiling, born into a political family in Chunan, her father Lin Shuntian and her brother Lin Ao are both prominent figures in Chunan politics. Lin Zhiling was doted on since childhood, possessing astonishing artistic talent; she wrote poetry at three, painted at five, and composed music at six, almost proficient in everything. From elementary school, she displayed unparalleled talent in singing, coupled with her outstanding appearance, the titles of ‘First’ and ‘Campus Belle’ never left her side from childhood to adulthood.
This smooth sailing cultivated an extreme personality in her, where she only allowed herself to win, never to lose. In her second year of high school, she participated in the then-nationally popular talent show “Super New Voice,” overcoming all obstacles and reaching the grand finals. However, on the final stage, she encountered two strong rivals whose strength and popularity were enough to contend with her— “High Note Queen” Zhang Liangyin and “Stage Elf” Li Muchun.
Faced with an unprecedented challenge and the possibility of her first ‘failure,’ Lin Zhiling’s inner pride and stubbornness were completely ignited. She could not accept losing to anyone. Thus, on the eve of the finals, she used despicable means to personally bury the musical dreams of her two opponents… Lin Zhiling chose to poison Zhang Liangyin, ruining Zhang Liangyin’s voice, and arranged for a car to hit Li Muchun. Both successively withdrew from the competition. In the end, she successfully won the championship, signed with a top entertainment company, and from then on, her career was brilliant, leading her to the pinnacle of the entertainment industry she loved.】
The PPT pages were not many, but they detailed when and where Lin Zhiling poisoned the water, and when she hired someone to cause the car accident, with clear video evidence.
All evidence could prove Lin Zhiling’s crimes.
“So that’s how it is…”
Lu Xuan slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, his eyes gleaming with cold, excited light.
A favored daughter of heaven, astonishingly talented, who won all her life, therefore unable to lose.
This weakness was truly fatal.
He had originally thought that dealing with Lin Zhiling would require a lot of effort, perhaps even a struggle with the Chunan Lin family.
Now it seemed, it wouldn’t be that troublesome at all.
This Auntie Lin Zhiling, who was about to confront him, seemed imposing, but in fact, she was full of flaws.
Her proudest halo, the starting point of her brilliant career, was itself a lie built upon sin.
With just a light poke, her perfect image, which she had painstakingly maintained for over twenty years, would instantly collapse, never to recover!
“Auntie, I can’t refuse this grand gift you’re sending,” Lu Xuan murmured, a chilling smile appearing on his face.
Just then, a soft “ding-dong” sound rang out.
It was a green bubble message notification.
Zhang Yining had chosen the time and location, sending a location pin for tomorrow morning at 10 AM.
—Yanjing, Kunlun Hotel, Private Room 808.
