Making you a son-in-law is not about making you conquer the world.

"Let go of Miss Rou'er!" Seeing the lewd man making unwanted advances, the servant Lin Ping had sent to follow them rushed out.

The middle-aged man was startled by the servant who suddenly rushed out and immediately revealed a cold look in his eyes.

"You brat, you're asking for it."

The middle-aged man kicked the servant in the chest. The force sent the servant flying five or six meters through the air before he crashed heavily to the ground, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood.

Clearly, the middle-aged man was a trained fighter; otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to commit crimes in such places so frequently.

"Let me go, let me go right now!" Rou'er finally realized what was happening and struggled desperately, but she was powerless to break free.

"Now that we're here, there's no reason for us to leave." The middle-aged man pulled Rou'er into his arms like a beast.

An ordinary maid would have been terrified and at a loss, but Rou'er, who often accompanied Lin Ping and had seen some big scenes, remained calm.

A row of sharp teeth bit into the middle-aged man's arm, and blood immediately oozed out.

The middle-aged man grimaced in pain, and Rou'er managed to break free from his embrace and then ran away frantically.

"Why isn't Daqiang back yet?" Lin Ping asked worriedly inside the department store.

He knew that Daqiang was a reliable servant, so there was only one reason why he hadn't returned home late at night: Rou'er hadn't returned to the manor either.

"Don't worry, Brother Lin, Daqiang is very clever and won't make any mistakes," Zhu Xiaoji replied casually.

He was only focused on making money and didn't care much about the fate of his servants and maids.

"No, I have to go check it out," Lin Ping said, feeling agitated, as if something bad was about to happen.

“I once said I was going to work in a workshop, so this girl must have gone to a workshop outside the city.” Lin Ping was quite clear-headed and didn’t waste time wandering around the city.

Even so, finding Rou'er in a short period of time will not be easy.

There were more than four city gates in Shuntian Prefecture, and he didn't even know which direction Rou'er was in.

“The east and south are too far apart, and the west is the Meng family’s winery. This girl must have gone to the north,” Lin Ping calmly analyzed.

As they approached Deshengmen, they indeed found the mark left by Daqiang.

Clearly, Daqiang knew that leaving the city was dangerous, but in order to protect Rou'er, he didn't have time to report to Lin Ping and could only leave marks along the way.

Lin Ping didn't even accept the guards' search, and dashed out, leaving them only with his back view.

At that moment, Rou'er was fleeing in a panic. Because it was dark, she tripped over a stone and fell face down on the ground.

The fall was quite severe; he sustained minor abrasions to his arms and thighs, and his palms were cut.

Not only that, she twisted her ankle and couldn't stand up to run away, watching helplessly as the middle-aged man approached while taking off his clothes.

"Young lady, you should be enjoying yourself to the fullest. This is the last night of your life." The middle-aged man's face was ferocious, clearly indicating that he did not want to leave any survivors.

He wasn't confident enough to win her over with his looks and avoid being sued, so he decided to go all the way and just kill her.

At this moment, Rou'er was truly afraid.

For wealthy young ladies, chastity is more important than life itself, because their chastity is not easily lost.

But for the maids, life was naturally more important, and they were even prepared to serve the young master at any time.

When she learned that the other party might kill her, Rou'er turned ashen-faced.

"Don't come any closer, or my young master won't let you get away with it," Rou'er shouted.

At this moment, Lin Ping's image was all she could think about. There were probably two reasons for this: first, she hoped Lin Ping would come to save her; second, thinking of Lin Ping when she was being bullied made the pain less intense.

"Your young master? Hahaha, is that the young master who goes to work in the workshop?" The middle-aged man laughed disdainfully, not taking Lin Ping seriously at all.

"Yes, it's me."

Just as the middle-aged man was about to succeed, a cold figure blocked his way.

"Then I'll send you to your death!" The middle-aged man was furious, revealing his most ferocious side.

"Silly girl, let's go back." Lin Ping helped Rou'er up from the ground, his voice filled with concern and self-reproach.

"But...but..." Rou'er pointed in horror at the middle-aged man behind her.

Although Lin Ping gave her a strong sense of security, Rou'er was a little worried because the middle-aged man was really fierce.

Lin Ping smiled slightly, patted Rou'er on the back of the head, and didn't care what the middle-aged man would do.

Pfft!

The middle-aged man lay on the ground with his eyes wide open in death, several transparent holes in his chest and forehead.

Lin Ping had a hundred ways to kill him. If it weren't for the fear that Rou'er couldn't stand the sight of blood, he would probably have torn him to pieces.

"I am incompetent and failed to protect Miss Rou'er. Please punish me, boss," Daqiang said, kneeling before Lin Ping with his head bowed.

If Lin Ping hadn't arrived in time, Rou'er's life would likely have been in danger, and he should indeed blame himself.

"It's not your fault, get up," Lin Ping replied, his tone somewhat cold, all his concern focused on Rou'er.

He was afraid that Rou'er would be traumatized, so he had to do everything he could to comfort her.

"Boss? Young Master Lin is his boss?" Rou'er exclaimed in surprise.

Clearly, she had calmed down and was able to grasp some of the details.

She knew Lin Ping was very capable, but he was ultimately from a poor background. She never expected Da Qiang to call him "boss" and to be so unusually respectful.

In other words, Lin Ping has another identity that she is unaware of.

"It's windy outside, let's go home and talk." Lin Ping's smile was like a spring breeze and drizzle, dispelling the surrounding chill.

Rou'er nodded, her lips still pouting, clearly waiting for Lin Ping's answer.

"Brother Lin, you're finally back!" Zhu Xiaoji came out to greet him from afar, his eyes shining when he saw Rou'er, and he drooled on the ground.

"What a beautiful girl! Brother Lin is truly talented." Zhu Xiaoji was extremely envious.

In his view, Lin Ping's success today is entirely due to his ability to live off women, and to live off several of them at the same time.

He simply didn't have that ability. He had a good appetite since childhood and didn't like to be a kept man, which troubled him for a long time.

Zhu Xiaoji's lecherous gaze was so undisguised that Rou'er quickly burrowed into Lin Ping's arms.

"Should we gouge out his eyes?" Lin Ping asked jokingly.

Rou'er wasn't the kind of girl who didn't know her place. She could naturally see the relationship between Lin Ping and Zhu Xiaoji. She shook her head, hiding in his arms, feeling incredibly shy.

"Alright, hurry up and get ready, we're closing tomorrow," Lin Ping said seriously.

"Closed? We're a shop that's open for business." Zhu Xiaoji retorted, thinking that Lin Ping would exhaust all his energy tonight and therefore wouldn't be able to get up tomorrow.

"I killed someone," Lin Ping replied calmly.
