The Rich Second-Generation Villain With No Morals

Chapter 72: Brainwashing Wang Siling, Qi Xueyao’s Counter to the Strong:

At the entrance of the confinement room, Yu Chen saw the person he was most concerned about at the moment.

Originally sitting on the ground with a dazed expression, Yu Chen immediately jumped up with excitement.

“Siling, are you okay? Did that bastard Qi Lin bully you?”

Yu Chen rushed to the iron bars, eager to grab Wang Siling.

But now, Wang Siling belonged to Qi Lin. How could she possibly be touched by Yu Chen?

Qi Lin stepped out from behind Wang Siling and pulled her into his arms.

In the past, Wang Siling would have struggled, but this time, she lowered her head, bit her lip, and allowed Qi Lin to hold her.

Seeing this, Yu Chen’s eyes were bloodshot with rage. He roared, “Qi Lin, you bastard, let go of Siling right now, or I’ll kill you!”

Faced with Yu Chen’s powerless fury, Qi Lin grinned. “Yu Chen, little brother, this is no way to treat your benefactor.”

Wang Siling looked at Yu Chen with teary eyes and said softly, “Yu Chen, stop going against Brother Qi Lin. You can’t win against him. Once you get out, focus on your studies. As long as you improve yourself, you will meet a girl even better than me.”

Before, when Qi Lin kissed her, Yu Chen hadn’t seen it, and Wang Siling could still deceive herself, believing she and her childhood sweetheart could end up together.

But now, she was about to kiss Qi Lin right in front of Yu Chen. That last shred of illusion was gone.

In both Yu Chen’s eyes and her own, she was no longer pure.

From this moment on, she and Yu Chen had become those fated but ill-fated childhood sweethearts seen in television dramas. It was time to say goodbye.

“Siling, what are you doing? You can’t do something foolish!”

Yu Chen’s eyes were filled with terror, a strong sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

A trace of amusement flickered in Qi Lin’s dark eyes. “You still don’t know, do you? Siling agreed to give me her first kiss in exchange for my forgiveness, so you wouldn’t have a permanent stain on your record.”

Wang Siling’s first kiss had long been taken by him, but Qi Lin deliberately said this to further provoke Yu Chen.

Wang Siling’s face turned red with shame. She knew Qi Lin was humiliating and toying with Yu Chen. She didn’t want to see Yu Chen heartbroken, so she wanted to get this over with as quickly as possible.

“No!”

Yu Chen let out a desperate cry.

On tiptoe, in front of Yu Chen’s devastated eyes, Wang Siling closed her beautiful eyes and kissed Qi Lin.

Qi Lin wrapped his arm around Wang Siling’s slender waist, his dark eyes filled with boundless arrogance as he enjoyed his victory.

“Boom!”

For a young man filled with passion and dreams, nothing was more devastating than seeing the person he loved become someone else’s plaything.

Yu Chen could no longer withstand the crushing blow and collapsed on the spot, unconscious.

Some things could be manipulated, but some words, once spoken, had to be honored.

Qi Lin did issue the letter of forgiveness.

Of course, he would have preferred to ruin Yu Chen’s life completely.

But the problem was, if he went back on his word, then everything he had done to Wang Siling would have been for nothing.

Even if Yu Chen were destroyed, Wang Siling would turn against him.

There were plenty of opportunities to eliminate Yu Chen, but Wang Siling, this beautiful girl, had to be carefully guided until she was entirely his.

Outside the police station, Yu Chen was released.

Zheng Yu, however, had a prior record, and Qi Lin didn’t grant him any leniency. That gang leader still had to stay inside for another month before being let out.

But for someone like him, a month in a detention center wouldn’t cause any harm. If anything, it would only add to his criminal reputation.

Yu Chen walked toward Qi Lin and Wang Siling.

He first glared at Qi Lin with hatred.

“Yu Chen, little brother, has no one ever taught you? The more you reveal your thoughts, the faster you die.”

Qi Lin smirked.

Yu Chen ignored Qi Lin’s provocation and instead looked at Wang Siling.

At this moment, Wang Siling couldn’t bear to face Yu Chen and didn’t dare to look at him.

She lowered her head, her beautiful eyes staring at her own fair toes.

Looking at Wang Siling, a trace of gentleness appeared in Yu Chen’s eyes. “Siling, I remember everything you did for me. Don’t worry, I will never despise you. In my heart, you are still the pure and flawless Siling. Wait for me… Just wait for me. One day, I will wipe away all the darkness from this world and take you to a paradise where only the two of us exist.”

As expected of a top student from Huashi No.1 High School, he had quite the way with words.

At the very least, Wang Siling couldn’t stop her tears from falling.

“It’s not worth it… It’s really not worth it. If you keep going like this, you’ll only end up destroying yourself.”

Wang Siling naturally knew that Yu Chen wasn’t willing to give up and was planning revenge against Qi Lin.

Yu Chen’s voice was calm. “There is no such thing as ‘worth it’ or ‘not worth it.’ In this world, there is no one and nothing more important than you.”

Having suffered repeated blows from Qi Lin, Yu Chen seemed to have finally grown up.

“If I ever find out that you’ve ruined her, I will kill you.”

Before leaving, Yu Chen’s eyes flashed with killing intent as he looked at Qi Lin.

Naturally, he was referring to Qi Lin taking Wang Siling’s innocence.

Qi Lin merely shrugged with a nonchalant smile.

How naive. If Wang Siling’s psychological defenses ever collapsed, she would be his first meal.

But despite how many times he had kissed her, if he truly took her innocence, she might do something drastic.

Qi Lin wanted a toy that would always belong to him, not a lifeless corpse.

On the way back to school, Qi Lin turned to Wang Siling with a smirk.

“Siling, don’t you think you’re unclean now? I have a way to make you pure again.”

Wang Siling’s delicate face showed confusion, and she subconsciously asked, “What way?”

She had already been kissed by Qi Lin. Her first kiss was gone. How could she possibly become pure again? Was he suggesting she cut off her lips?

Given Qi Lin’s absurd personality, she wouldn’t be surprised if he really said that.

“A girl’s chastity is about being devoted to one person. You’ve been kissed by me so many times, and you and Yu Chen have no future together. Why not just stay with me? That way, you’ll still be pure, a virtuous girl who keeps herself for me alone.”

Qi Lin chuckled as he planted a twisted idea in Wang Siling’s mind, brainwashing her.

Wang Siling: “…”

People change.

Qi Lin had bullied them so many times. Yu Chen had grown. Wang Cheng had grown. And Wang Siling had grown, too.

She was no longer the innocent and naive girl she once was.

She timidly glanced at Qi Lin. “Brother Qi Lin, I will keep my promise and pay back the fifteen thousand yuan. Once I’ve repaid the debt, I hope you won’t bully me anymore.”

“Maybe in the future, you’ll find another way to make me owe you money, and I’ll just have to slowly pay it back. I only hope that one day, when you’re tired of bullying me, you’ll let me go. I will be very grateful, Qi Lin, and I won’t hate you.”

Qi Lin: “…”

This little girl was something else.

A man can be forged into steel through a hundred trials, but he is most afraid of the softness that wraps around his fingers.

Her tone was the gentlest, yet her firm resolve told Qi Lin that no matter how much he controlled her, she would never truly submit until the day he was willing to let her go.

“Damn, are all the female leads in this fused novel world so unique?”

Qi Lin actually found it amusing.

“But having unique personalities is a good thing. If they were all the same, acting like puppets, throwing themselves at me the moment they appeared, what would be the difference between them and robots?”

Looking at Wang Siling, who was lost in thought beside him, Qi Lin didn’t feel frustrated. Instead, his fighting spirit was ignited.

Just wait. Sooner or later, he would pull all these pure and noble heroines into the villain’s camp, making them join his glorious path of darkness and evolution.

“Guess who?”

That night, when Qi Lin returned home and opened the villa door, someone covered his eyes from behind.

“Mom, how old are you? Why are you still playing such childish games?”

Qi Lin sighed helplessly and removed Fang Yuanyuan’s delicate hands.

Other people’s mothers were either strict or the gentle housewife type.

His mother, on the other hand, acted like a child who never grew up, clinging to him the moment he walked through the door.

Qi Feng, who was sitting on the couch reading the newspaper, simply shook his head when he saw this scene. Clearly, he was used to it.

“Brat, how are you talking to your mother? No matter how old she gets, in my eyes, she’s still a flower.”

“Right, Ah Feng?”

Women hate being told they’re getting old. Fang Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at Qi Lin and turned to her husband for confirmation.

“Ah… yeah, yeah, yeah!”

Qi Feng didn’t even bother to look up as he responded, clearly used to being asked this question.

“What kind of attitude is that from the both of you? Especially you, brat! Your mom worked hard all afternoon to buy the shrimp you wanted, and this is how you treat her?”

Fang Yuanyuan pulled her son into a hug.

She just loved sticking to him, watching him struggle helplessly.

“Mom, you bought the lobsters?”

Qi Lin quickly changed the subject.

“They’re in the kitchen.”

Fang Yuanyuan pointed inside.

“Mom, didn’t you want to try my cooking? I’ll go make the lobsters for you now.”

Qi Lin grinned.

Hearing this, Fang Yuanyuan finally let go, looking intrigued.

“Go ahead. I want to see if you, a spoiled young master who never lifts a finger, can really cook, or if you’re just bluffing.”

Qi Lin didn’t say anything and walked straight into the kitchen.

Inside, he saw two baskets of fresh, live lobsters on the floor.

Qi Xueyao, who had come home earlier than him, was crouching down, observing the lobsters.

Qi Lin found this amusing.

It seemed true that girls were naturally curious about anything new.

She was so focused that she didn’t even notice him entering the kitchen.

Qi Lin didn’t disturb her either, just quietly stood there and watched.

From his angle, Qi Xueyao, dressed in a business suit and black stockings, crouched on the floor, was an absolute visual treat.

“Ah!”

After a while, Qi Xueyao finally realized someone was standing in front of her, watching her with ill intent.

“What are you staring at, you pervert?”

Her face turned red as she glared at Qi Lin and quickly stood up.

“You were the one who was too absorbed. I didn’t want to interrupt you. Otherwise, I would’ve started cleaning the lobsters already.”

Qi Lin shrugged as if implying it was her fault.

Qi Xueyao clenched her teeth, ready to curse him.

But when she looked up and saw Fang Yuanyuan standing beside Qi Lin, watching her with an unreadable expression, she immediately lost her nerve, lowered her head, and kept quiet.

Qi Lin chuckled.

Looks like everyone has someone who can put them in their place.

“Xiao Lin, let Aunt Chen clean the lobsters instead.”

Fang Yuanyuan stepped forward, worried that her son would tire himself out.

Qi Lin waved his hand. “Aunt Chen has never cleaned lobsters before. It’s not as simple as you think.”

Then he crouched down and started handling the lobsters himself.

First, he took a brush and scrubbed each lobster’s belly clean. Then, with scissors, he clipped off all their legs except for the large pincers.

After that, he removed the shrimp veins from their tails, cleaned the gills under the hard shells, and finally soaked them in salted water to disinfect them.

“The shrimp vein is the digestive tract and must be removed. The belly is the dirtiest part since it crawls through mud, so it needs thorough scrubbing. The gills under the head’s hard shell are where they breathe, and they collect heavy metals and dirt, so they also need to be cleaned properly.”

Listening to Qi Lin’s explanation, Aunt Chen finally understood why he didn’t let her clean them. Who knew such a small lobster required so much preparation?

She carefully memorized his words.

Qi Lin seemed to really like eating lobsters, so she had to remember this and make them for him often.

If Chen Shuyi were here, she would probably be jealous again, feeling like her mother favored Qi Lin too much.

On the side, Qi Xueyao and Fang Yuanyuan started to believe that Qi Lin truly knew a lot about lobsters, at least when it came to cleaning them.

Seeing her son handling all the lobsters alone, Fang Yuanyuan felt bad. When she noticed Qi Xueyao just standing there idly, she got annoyed.

“Xueyao, your brother is doing all the work alone. Shouldn’t you help him?”

“Oh… oh, okay.”

Like a daughter-in-law being scolded by her mother-in-law, Qi Xueyao pouted in grievance and squatted down to help.

But when she noticed Qi Lin constantly glancing at her delicate collarbone with a mischievous smile, her face flushed with embarrassment. She glared at him, but with Fang Yuanyuan nearby, she didn’t dare to stand up.

She had no choice but to let Qi Lin take advantage of her gaze.

Cleaning was just the first step. Cooking would be the real test of his skills.

Qi Lin planned to make three lobster dishes—steamed, braised in oil, and garlic-flavored. Each one required precise techniques.

For the garlic lobster, for example, the garlic had to be finely minced into powder-like pieces, a task that tested a chef’s knife skills.

“Thud, thud, thud!”

Qi Lin tossed the kitchen knife into the air and caught it with perfect precision.

Then, with lightning-fast movements, he began chopping the garlic on the cutting board. His knife skills were as precise as they were dazzling.

The braised lobster was cooked with a rich sauce.

The steamed lobster was placed in a steamer with precise timing down to the second.

The garlic lobster was generously coated with minced garlic.

Qi Lin’s entire cooking process was fluid and efficient, pleasing to the eye.

He didn’t need any help from Aunt Chen.

When he finally served the three beautifully prepared lobster dishes and placed the dipping sauce for the steamed lobster on the table, his mother was completely stunned.

“My god, Xiao Lin, when did you learn to cook? Your knife skills are amazing!”

“Come here and let me pinch you. I’m starting to think you’ve been possessed by an alien!”

Fang Yuanyuan walked over and pinched her son’s face, looking as if she suspected he was an imposter.

Qi Lin laughed, grabbing her hands to stop her.

“Everyone has a hidden talent, waiting for the right moment to shine.”

“Mom, can you not let your imagination run wild? Aliens? Seriously?”

Of course, Fang Yuanyuan would never guess that her son had been reborn from the future.
