This Is My Planet - Chapter 10
The Kingly Aura couldn’t dazzle anyone.
That’s because what makes a domineering CEO attractive isn’t their dominance; it’s the CEO part.
So Yin Zhongxiang was bound to end up getting thrashed.
Yin Ping was furious and shouted, “Guards, take down this unruly scoundrel!”
Two black-suited individuals behind her immediately moved to apprehend Yin Zhongxiang, reaching for his arms from both sides.
Yin Zhongxiang, in his excited state, had already lost himself in his imagination of having the Kingly Aura. In response, he retorted, “Woman, you’re playing with fire!”
Bang, bang! The two Yin family guards grabbed his arms, but Yin Zhongxiang, as both the butler and the leader of the guards, had some skills. He managed to shrug them off.
Yin Xiaoru briefly considered intervening but decided against it. She was a clever fox and sensed that something was amiss with this situation. If Yin Ping came here, it might be connected to Yin Zhongxiang in some way. So, she opted to observe for now. With that in mind, her hands slipped into her pocket, but there were no sunflower seeds to enjoy the drama—what a pity.
Yin Zhongxiang shook off the two Yin family guards, took a step forward, and seemed ready to pin Yin Ping to the wall.
Yin Ping hadn’t expected a butler to be so audacious, and Yin Xiaoru still didn’t intervene!
She instinctively stepped back, and the bat person finally made a move.
He launched a swift kick toward the butler’s abdomen, moving like lightning.
Yin Zhongxiang didn’t have the strength for this; caught off guard, he was sent tumbling. The Batman attempted to stomp on him to keep him down.
A magical thing occurred: Yin Zhongxiang rolled on the ground and, with a mysterious twist, managed to evade the stomp.
This was the “Basic Lazy Donkey Rolling Technique” awarded by the system, and it was indeed impressive.
The bat-person missed his stomp, and Yin Zhongxiang reached for Yin Ping’s leg. With a shriek, Yin Ping turned and fled. A surge of dark energy came from behind her, the bat-person finally used his true power. Sharp sonic waves emanated from under his foot, instantly disorienting Yin Zhongxiang.
It all happened in the blink of an eye. Yin Ping was still trembling when she turned and pointed an angry finger at Yin Xiaoru. “What kind of butler do you have?”
Yin Xiaoru, with her arms crossed, finally revealed a cold smile. “Rather than that, I’d like to know what kind of guards you have? Why does the Yin family have these bio-enhanced warriors?”
The bat-person’s sound waves finally gave away the secret, leaving an opening for Yin Xiaoru to exploit.
Xia Guixuan had sent the butler to stir up trouble for precisely this reason. Hearing Yin Xiaoru’s conversation with the bat-person last night, he knew that these bio-enhancements probably belonged to some kind of taboo technology. At the very least, the Yin family didn’t possess them.
Otherwise, with the elders of the family exerting overwhelming pressure, Yin Xiaoru wouldn’t have been able to perform well. Now, with an excuse forced out, the little fox wasn’t to be underestimated. Their cooperation was indeed seamless.
Yin Ping’s expression fluctuated for a moment, and she said slowly, “These are new recruits for our security team. I’m not sure about the specifics.”
“So what? Even if you know now, you’ll just let it go? Are you trying to invite the Special Operations Division to wipe out the Yin family?” Yin Xiaoru’s voice grew stern. “Take down this bio-enhancer now!”
The bat-person gave a sinister chuckle and suddenly took flight. “No need, Miss Yin. We’ll meet again, haha-”
Before he had finished speaking, his laughter turned into a screech. A high-voltage electric net abruptly emerged in mid-air, sizzling as it zapped the bat-person until he was charred and tender, writhing in mid-air, and finally crashing to the ground, twitching and curling up.
Yin Xiaoru released the button of the electric net in her pocket. She breathed a sigh of relief. Indeed, the bat-person must have been seriously injured last night; otherwise, the electric net alone wouldn’t have been enough to stop him. But the result was even better than she imagined.
A formidable bat-person who nearly killed her, now foolishly walked into a trap and ended up seeking death in her own home. Yin Xiaoru felt quite pleased at the moment, casually hugging herself. “Did you really think a delicate girl living in a remote villa wouldn’t have any protection? Take him away, use the high-voltage electric lock to restrain him, and deliver him to the police station.”
“Wait!” Yin Ping finally reacted.
The Zhou family inexplicably harboring bio-enhanced individuals….this was a military taboo. The momentum of coming to cause trouble unexpectedly turned into being exposed and leaving themselves vulnerable. They lost the high ground instantly.
But she still had to handle this mess; otherwise, it would mean completely breaking ties with the Zhou family. There were still ordinary guards from the Zhou family standing by— or rather, should she capture this bat-person as a means to manipulate the Zhou family?
Yin Ping considered her options, her face changing rapidly. She spoke slowly, “This guard was recruited by mistake. Handing him over directly to the police might tarnish our reputation. There are plenty of people outside who want to make trouble for the Yin family. It might be better to take him back to our headquarters for interrogation and decide what to do afterward.”
Yin Xiaoru didn’t argue with her. She smirked and said, “Fine. Keep me informed of any updates, Second Aunt. Otherwise, I’m usually too busy, and I might have to ask about this matter from someone else.”
Yin Ping’s face turned pale.
Isn’t this just another tool Yin Xiaoru could use to keep her in check?
Yin Xiaoru smiled inwardly. It seemed that her prayers had been answered, and she would need to light incense for the Divine Creator later.
Otherwise, how could she have turned the tables so skillfully in a situation where she was expected to be passive? Yin Zhongxiang had also suddenly transformed into a over-confident and domineering person.
She squatted down to inspect Yin Zhongxiang, who was only temporarily stunned by the soundwaves and not seriously hurt. She was about to call someone to take him for rest and treatment when Yin Ping finally revealed her hand.
“Did you bring a man home to stay the night?” Yin Ping asked.
Yin Xiaoru almost stomped Yin Zhongxiang to death.
It turned out that he had leaked information.
It couldn’t be the police reporting to the Yin family in the middle of the night for no reason. The Yin family wasn’t important enough to warrant that kind of attention. It had to be their own guards, and Yin Zhongxiang was the prime suspect.
Yin Xiaoru was no naïve girl; she had been wary of Yin Zhongxiang for some time. Now, it seemed she had a clear answer.
She lazily stood up and decided to come clean. “I’m already twenty-four. What’s wrong with bringing a man home to stay the night? I heard that you, Second Aunt, used to enjoy endless nights of parties and banquets when you were young. Aren’t you accustomed to it?”
“You!” Yin Ping’s face turned green, seeing the bizarre looks from the surrounding guards.
Could such a matter be discussed in public? High-society family members always maintained a façade of purity, grace, and refinement.
Yin Xiaoru continued, “Besides, Aunt, didn’t you just say that I, as a young woman, need a man’s help to support the Sangyu branch in these difficult times? Why do you have objections now that I have a boyfriend?”
Yin Ping replied, “The family hopes that someone can cooperate and help develop the Sangyu branch. Keeping a man for personal reasons serves no purpose. Is your so-called boyfriend still upstairs? Why don’t you invite him to come down and meet us?”
Yin Xiaoru frowned slightly. The conversation had reached a point where she should have called Xia Guixuan to come out. However, that would put him in great danger, and both the Yin and Zhou families might try to eliminate him.
Secondly, Xia Guixuan, a newly awakened little demon, might not be able to showcase any significant abilities when he appeared, only to be humiliated by Yin Ping.
Yin Xiaoru contemplated for a moment. She was about to say that he had already left when she heard a yawning voice coming from the stairs. “Darling, who is this shrew causing such a ruckus so early in the morning…”
Including Yin Xiaoru herself, everyone in the room had their faces frozen in astonishment.
They all turned to look, and Xia Guixuan, dressed in the same pajamas that Yin Xiaoru had previously worn, was standing at the top of the stairs. He seemed a bit drowsy, wearing a sleepy smile on his face. His pajamas featured a cute little dragon, and his demeanor was nonchalant.
With his long hair loosely tied up, he leaned casually against the railing, appearing relaxed and carefree. It had to be said that he indeed had some charm, making it understandable why Yin Xiaoru was so infatuated with him.
Everyone in the room stared at Xia Guixuan in utter disbelief for a long moment before shifting their gaze to Yin Xiaoru, who was also in shock.
Yin Xiaoru’s mouth twitched, and she had no idea how to stop Xia Guixuan’s “suicidal” behavior.
Didn’t I tell you not to show your face?
Wait, where did you get that chibi-version pajama that matches mine? Did you have to act so convincingly?
Um, no, before that, who taught you to call me “darling”?
