Chapter 42: Jiang Linlin Was Delighted! Wei Yun Was Completely Dumbfounded!
Wei Yun endured the severe pain of his broken arm, pressing a cloth against the seeping wound to stem the flow of blood. He waited bitterly for a long time, hidden in the shadows of the campus trees.
Finally, he saw her.
Jiang Linlin walked out of the building, bathed in the afternoon sunlight. Seeing the pure and delicate beautiful face that only appeared in his dreams, Wei Yun's expression couldn't help but light up with joy. The pain in his arm faded into the background.
He rushed out, stumbling slightly.
"Linlin!" he called out, his voice rough with emotion. "Linlin, I'm telling you... I have to tell you something important!"
Jiang Linlin stopped. She turned to look at him.
However, what Wei Yun didn't expect was the look in her eyes.
Jiang Linlin's beautiful eyes, usually clear as lake water and full of kindness, looked at Wei Yun with undisguised disgust, even hatred. It was a look reserved for monsters.
She took a step back, shielding her body as if his mere presence polluted the air.
"You..." she hissed. "You white-eyed wolf! You killed my parents! Do you still want to kill me and sever our worldly ties? How can there be such a bad person like you in this world?"
Her voice rose, attracting the attention of nearby students.
"Also, you are not qualified to call me Linlin! Please call me Jiang Linlin! We are strangers... no, we are enemies!"
Wei Yun's body trembled violently. His face drained of all color.
"What?"
His expression changed drastically. He explained with a face full of panic, reaching out a hand towards her.
"Linlin, how could I kill you? No matter who it is, I would never kill you! I would die for you!"
"Your parents' deaths... I didn't... I already avenged them! I killed the people who did it!"
However, Jiang Linlin simply didn't want to listen to Wei Yun's explanation. The image of him standing over a pile of corpses, shown to her by Brother Shen, was burned into her mind.
She angrily pulled Liu Mi, who was standing beside her with a strange, confused expression, and turned away.
"Let's go, Mimi. Don't talk to this murderer."
They walked quickly towards the dorm. Wei Yun tried to follow, but they slammed the heavy dormitory door in his face.
Bang!
The sound echoed like a gunshot. The door closed, and Wei Yun was left with nothing but the cold wood and his own despair.
[Ding! Child of Destiny Wei Yun's emotions collapsed! Plundering +9999 Destiny Points!]
Wei Yun stood there, frozen. He wanted to chase after her, to break down the door and explain, to force her to listen.
But he sensed movement in the shadows.
He was already blocked. The female bodyguards Shen Anyu had arranged for Jiang Linlin stepped out from the periphery, their eyes cold and warning. He also detected several powerful auras hidden around the campus perimeter.
If he were to forcefully act, he wouldn't gain anything. He was injured, outnumbered, and emotionally compromised.
Moreover, if his identity were exposed here, he would surely be wanted and pursued by the official Yanxia authorities!
After all, when Wei Yun was a killer king in the past, many of the more than a thousand people he assassinated were Yanxia citizens, and many had considerable status and position. He was a ghost they wanted to exorcise.
With his left arm broken and his internal injuries not light, the consequences of a public fight were unimaginable.
"Damn it!"
Wei Yun's face was livid, extremely ugly. He punched the wall with his good hand, drawing blood.
"Linlin simply won't listen to my explanation. She seems to have a deep misunderstanding of me... and she also knows that her parents' deaths were related to me."
This made his mood extremely bad. Someone had poisoned her mind against him. And he knew exactly who.
"I must find a way to tell Linlin all of this! To show her the truth!"
Wei Yun thought for a moment, his assassin's mind working through the pain. He couldn't get close to her physically.
He decided to find Jiang Linlin's classmates. He would steal a phone or get her contact number.
However, his efforts were futile. After Jiang Linlin found out it was him messaging from a strange number, she immediately blocked him!
[Ding! Child of Destiny Wei Yun's mood is terrible! Plundering +3000 Destiny Points!]
Finally, desperate and running out of options, Wei Yun resorted to theft. He directly took Jiang Linlin's classmate's phone when she wasn't looking and sent Jiang Linlin a bunch of photos he had taken earlier.
Photos of Shen Anyu with other women—Qin Ningbing, Su Hongmian, Ruan Lingshan.
"Linlin, look at this! Shen Anyu is not a good man. He's a philandering playboy, juggling several relationships! He is deceiving you! Don't believe him..."
In the dorm room, Jiang Linlin's phone buzzed.
Looking at these photos, Jiang Linlin's expression changed slightly. Her emotions became somewhat complex.
She saw the women. They were beautiful. Successful.
Wei Yun, watching the "Read" receipt, noticed that Jiang Linlin didn't block him immediately. His expression instantly became ecstatic. She was listening!
He quickly seized the opportunity to send more messages, adding fuel to the fire:
"He doesn't love you! He just wants your body! Linlin, I'm the one who truly loves you! I have loved you for twenty years!"
However, at this moment, Jiang Linlin's reply came.
It was short. Brutal.
"Even if Brother Shen is deceiving me... I am willing!"
"No matter how many women he has, I am willing to follow him, for all eternity!"
"He is the light of my life. You are just a shadow. Goodbye."
After sending this message, she immediately blocked the number.

...
Looking at the small red exclamation mark indicating "Message Failed" in front of him, Wei Yun seemed to turn to stone. He stood frozen in place, unable to recover for a long time.
"Impossible... how could it be? How could Linlin not mind? Shen Anyu is so philandering... I'm the one who truly loves her..."
Wei Yun murmured to himself, like a broken record, completely disheartened and dazed.
He truly couldn't imagine that the girl in his heart—the pure, innocent flower—would actually be willing to be one of playboy Shen Anyu's lovers. Was she really enchanted? Was she brainwashed?
What exactly did Shen Anyu do to her? What did he say to make her abandon her morals?
Jiang Linlin's classmate, whose phone he had stolen, came back. Seeing him standing there looking pathetic, she snatched her phone back.
She patted Wei Yun's shoulder, looking at him with pity.
"Big brother, you're just a security guard. Yet you want to pursue Jiang Linlin, our pure campus belle of Modu University? That's truly commendable courage!"
"But let's be real. What's the use of you loving her? I love her too! There are many people at Modu University who love her!"
"But does she have to love you? What do you have that she would find appealing? What have you done for her? Can you buy her Chanel? Can you save her family?"
"Besides, she's already taken. Brother Shen... alas, I don't know how many admirers are heartbroken. The goddess has a boyfriend, and he's a god!"
"By the way... your arm is bleeding. Why don't you hurry to the hospital? What happened?"
"It's scary. I'm taking my phone. Goodbye, never to see you again!"
She ran off, wiping her phone on her shirt.
It wasn't until much later that Wei Yun finally sobered up from his trance, as if waking from a nightmare.
His eyes focused, burning with a dark, twisted resolve.
"Only by killing Shen Anyu can Linlin wake up! It's all Shen Anyu's fault! He poisoned her mind!"
"After killing Shen Anyu, even if Linlin doesn't change her mind... I will take her away! I will lock her up if I have to! I will make her love me again!"
"No matter what, she can only be mine! Only mine!"
Boom!
Killing intent erupted from his body, a physical wave of cold. Within a radius of several meters, creatures like ants, and even the leaves on the bushes, completely lost their vitality, withering instantly under the aura of the Death God.
Wei Yun gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot. He turned to leave.
He wanted to kill! To take back his Linlin!!

...
Meanwhile, on the other side of the city.
Jiang Linlin sat on the edge of the bed in the Presidential Suite, staring blankly at her phone.
It must be said that Wei Yun's photos brought her quite a shock.
It turned out that her beloved Brother Shen already had other women. And not just one.
Su Hongmian, Qin Ningbing, the little maid...
"So... Hongmian isn't even the main wife? Brother Shen is so philandering..."
However, Jiang Linlin's expression wasn't particularly distressed. Instead, she felt a strange sense of relief.
If there was only Su Hongmian, then she would be the shameful mistress, the homewrecker. She would feel guilty and distressed, even having thoughts of withdrawing to let them be happy.
But now? It seemed that everyone was equally important in Brother Shen's heart. Or equally unimportant.
Jiang Linlin felt a sense of relief. The guilt lessened.
Although she preferred that she and Shen Anyu be each other's only one, and didn't want to share her beloved with other women...
But Jiang Linlin had even less ability to leave Shen Anyu. Just thinking about it made her heart ache as if it would shatter. He was her savior, her world.
Besides, this was also quite good. Brother Shen would handle everything, both inside and out, which was great.
After taking a deep breath, Jiang Linlin had made her decision. She would stay.
Subsequently, Jiang Linlin rushed to Shen Anyu's date.
At the romantic Riverside restaurant, looking at the peerlessly handsome Shen Anyu, who had a smile on his lips, her beautiful eyes reddened slightly.
Shen Anyu, however, seemed not to care at all. He smiled, patted the chair next to him, pulled it out, and said:
"Come, Linlin, come over. I've prepared your favorite delicacies: Dragon Fish Snacks, West Lake Lotus Root Starch, Spicy and Sour Chicken Feet..."
Jiang Linlin's reaction was not unexpected by Shen Anyu. That red Lamborghini picking up Su Hongmian was a hint he gave her intentionally, indicating that he already had other women, to prepare Jiang Linlin mentally.
Otherwise, with hundreds of luxury cars in Shen Anyu's garage, why would he specifically choose that one?
She would eventually find out, and Shen Anyu didn't care if any women would leave; he had that confidence.
Wei Yun's actions, however, clarified Jiang Linlin's feelings faster than he expected. Shen Anyu found it amusing. How was that guy always providing assists?
Hearing this, Jiang Linlin hesitated for a moment. Then she walked over and sat down. She obediently ate the West Lake Lotus Root Starch, Spicy and Sour Chicken Feet, and other delicacies Shen Anyu had prepared for her.
Her eyes lit up, and she exclaimed in surprise:
"Brother Shen, this... this is too delicious!"
Originally, she still felt a bit awkward and complicated about the harem situation, but why was the food in front of her so delicious? It melted her worries away.
Shen Anyu, however, smiled and said:
"I cooked it myself. Isn't it delicious?"
[Extraordinary Culinary Skill], no one could resist it. Jiang Linlin, who had just been emotionally conflicted, didn't even bother with restraint and started eating heartily.
[Ding! Child of Destiny Wei Yun's heart aches painfully! Plundering +6666 Destiny Points!]
Outside the window, hidden in the dark, Wei Yun saw this scene. The heartache in his eyes intensified beyond measure.
His Linlin was truly enchanted by that scoundrel Shen Anyu. She knew Shen Anyu was juggling several relationships—he had just sent her the proof!—yet she was so unconcerned and enjoyed the food so much.
A hint of playfulness flashed in Shen Anyu's eyes. He didn't pay attention to Wei Yun, who was hiding in the dark, ready to assassinate at any moment.
Looking at the pure and delicate young girl in front of him, he said softly:
"Eat slowly, no rush. We have a long future ahead, and I'll cook for you again! Every day if you want."
Jiang Linlin's delicate body trembled. She put down the food in her hand and looked at Shen Anyu with tear-filled eyes, her devotion absolute.
"Brother Shen... I love you. Please don't leave me, okay? No matter what."
Wei Yun's face instantly turned livid!
