Chapter 23 — She’s Still a Child

Didn’t expect someone could actually kill a top-ten Puppeteer?

Although the Alliance is the most powerful and dominant force among humans, it represents the majority of powerful individuals among humans. Most of the Espers and Psychic practitioners are part of the Alliance. However, it seems there are still many experts among civilians. And these experts are comparable to the top ten of the Puppeteers!

“Did anyone at the scene last night see who did it?” Ye Ling asked Yan Yuding.

Yan Yuding quickly glanced at his subordinates and asked, “Did any of you see?”

“The bar was about to collapse; the lights went out; we couldn’t see clearly at the time!” His subordinates hurriedly replied.

Hearing this response, Ye Ling’s eyebrows furrowed even more. She continued, “I ask you, are there any extremely powerful martial artists in Lin City? The attacker should be a local person, right?”

“Extremely powerful? I have many such subordinates!” Yan Yuding smiled. “My bodyguards can take on ten people each!”

Upon hearing this, Ye Ling’s brows furrowed slightly. She knew that she couldn’t communicate on the same level with these people at all.

Next, she just waved her hand, and her subordinates came up, taking out a special liquid that completely dissolved the body of the tentacle Puppeteer.

“Any incident that happens here is prohibited from being disclosed or posted online, do you understand?” Ye Ling continued, addressing Yan Yuding. “Otherwise, you will bear all the responsibility!”

“Understood!” Yan Yuding nodded. If these things were made public, it wouldn’t be beneficial for unity, he understood that.

Following this, Ye Ling didn’t say much and left with her subordinates. Since the target was dead, there was no need to waste any more time. However, from now on, she remembered one thing: there are experts among the civilians, and these experts are hunting down Puppeteers! This was something she needed to report to her father.

After Ye Ling left, Yan Yuding stood alone in front of the ruins. Looking at the debris and the Puppeteer’s body, he faintly smiled. “Young man, I’ve helped you this time; if I’m in trouble next time, if we meet, you have to help me too … After all, people like us are of the same kind!”

“Oh no, Mr. Yan, Miss … Miss has run away again!” At that moment, suddenly, one of his subordinates hurriedly ran over and said.

“Ran away again?” Yan Yuding furrowed his brow. “Where did she go?”

“She said … she said she didn’t want to stay at home; she wants to live at the school every day, find a boyfriend at the university, and live with the boyfriend outside! She also said …” The subordinate stuttered, not daring to continue.

“What else did she say?” Yan Yuding’s brow furrowed even tighter.

“She also said … that your feudal old self can go die …” The subordinate lowered his head.

“This … wasn’t me; it was Miss who said that!” The subordinate covered his face and said miserably.

“Keep an eye on her. Anyone daring to approach her, the ignorant young fools, break their hands and legs, make them wish they were dead!” Yan Yuding directly spoke coldly. “Be ruthless!”

Talking about his daughter made his head ache. Clearly, she could have a good life under his protection, but she liked to sneak out alone, saying that’s true freedom. Yan Yuding could only indulge her helplessly and let her run away. However, he always arranged for someone to secretly follow her, ensuring her safety.

But this time was different. She actually wanted to find a boyfriend? He would never allow anyone to get close to his daughter recklessly. She just started her freshman year at university! She’s still a child …

“Yes!” His subordinate hurriedly nodded, then quickly sent out a group of people to protect her secretly …

At dusk, after work, Lin Yaoyao was returning home with a colleague. Her colleague suggested going out for dinner. Lin Yaoyao had been thinking about going back to see if she could have dinner with Ling Tian. But she thought Ling Tian probably wouldn’t be at home, so she agreed.

Then the two arrived at an upscale restaurant. Standing in front of the restaurant, Lin Yaoyao furrowed her brow. “Qiushui, you know about my family situation! I can’t afford to dine in such places!”

This restaurant wasn’t the most luxurious, but a meal here would cost a couple thousand.

“Your family’s situation? If your dad easily misappropriates some money, what’s this place?” Lin Yaoyao’s friend joked.

Lin Yaoyao’s best friend, Qiushui, was her classmate at the police academy. After graduating, they did their internships together. Her friend’s name was Fu Qiushui! Although she couldn’t match Lin Yaoyao in terms of appearance, who had been the campus belle, she was a beautiful and enduring type of girl, just a notch below Lin Yaoyao.

“Don’t talk nonsense!” Lin Yaoyao quickly replied.

“Just kidding, come on, I’m treating you. Sis have plenty of money!” Fu Qiushui smiled and then took Lin Yaoyao inside.

Lin Yaoyao naturally didn’t refuse because Fu Qiushui’s family was indeed well-off, and she was a little rich woman.

However, as they entered the restaurant, the first thing Lin Yaoyao saw was a familiar figure sitting by the window!

Ling Tian!
