I just broke up with my boyfriend and then I transmigrated into the world of "The Lost Tomb&quo

While waiting for the results, Ling Xiao casually sent a message to Xie Yuhua, telling him that he would be back a little late and not to worry.

He then grabbed a leather cap and haphazardly tied his hair up. His hair was a bit long, but not bad-looking, so he secretly took the liberty of not getting a haircut. After all, these things used to be handled by someone else; finding a good barber wasn't easy…

When Cheng Yu came up with a bruised and swollen face, he saw that Ling Xiao's hair was tied into a half-ponytail hairstyle.

Ling Xiao was wearing a low-cut white shirt and a large black suit jacket today, paired with loose-fitting jeans. He wore a silver chain necklace and a half-ponytail hairstyle, which made him look somewhat sinister.

Cheng Yu paused for two seconds before blushing and saying, "Sir, I won."

Ling Xiao looked up at him and said, "Congratulations, well done."

"Then sir..." Cheng Yu didn't finish his sentence, but lowered his head in embarrassment.

"You can't always be too embarrassed to buy my life." Ling Xiao got up, walked behind Cheng Yu, poured two more glasses of wine, and handed one to Cheng Yu.

Without giving Cheng Yu a chance to refuse, she directly shoved it into his hand, picked up her own glass of wine and clinked it against his, then said, "I'll take you somewhere in a bit. It's quite dangerous to work with me. Are you sure? It's not too late to turn back now."

Cheng Yu looked at the person in front of him, who was like a poppy, dangerous yet alluring. Although he was saying things to persuade people to back down, it made people unable to resist agreeing.

Ling Xiao brought Cheng Yu to the courtyard house. The butler opened the door and, upon seeing Ling Xiao, began to question him: "Sir, did you report to Miss before bringing people back? Where have you been these past few days? Miss is very worried because she can't contact you."

Ling Xiao wasn't annoyed by Butler Yang's words. He simply said politely to the butler, "Uncle Yang, please come to my room. There's something I need you to tell my sister."

When Butler Yang heard Ling Xiao address him respectfully as Uncle Yang and use honorifics, he raised his head slightly and followed behind Ling Xiao with a smug look. After entering Ling Xiao's room, Ling Xiao sat on the bed and gave Cheng Yu a look.

After receiving the signal, Cheng Yu tied Butler Yang to a chair. This was something Ling Xiao had told him on the way here: as long as he did things to Ling Xiao's satisfaction, he could stay by Ling Xiao's side.

"What are you doing? Aren't you afraid Miss will find out?" Butler Yang showed no fear, his tone full of threat as he spoke to Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao's eyebrows furrowed slightly. Upon seeing this, Cheng Yu slapped Butler Yang across the face without saying a word. Cheng Yu was an underground boxer with tremendous strength, and he knocked out two of Butler Yang's teeth.

Butler Yang's face swelled up rapidly. He was stunned for a moment before angrily shouting at Cheng Yu, "How dare you!"

Then, with red eyes, she yelled at Ling Xiao, "Who do you think you are, daring to treat me like this? I'm Miss's person, I only call you 'sir' out of respect for Miss! You're nothing but a parasite who lives off Miss and sucks her blood! Let me tell you, you'd better apologize to me right now..."

Ling Xiao couldn't listen to more than half of it. This Steward Yang was simply insanely stupid. He hated idiots the most and had no patience for them, especially such worthless idiots. He swallowed back the words he had wanted to say to Steward Yang calmly and gestured for Cheng Yu to shut him up.

Cheng Yu also cooperated by taking off his socks and stuffing them into Butler Yang's mouth. He regretted that he had changed into new clothes when he met the master, as these socks didn't smell at all.

This steward, Yang, actually dared to speak to the master like that. A man like the master should be bullied like this. The master can tolerate it, but he can't. So when stuffing the socks, he pushed hard, making the steward feel disgusted.

Ling Xiao moved the pen holder on the desk, and a door to a secret room was opened. This was one of the advantages of the Prince's mansion: many secret rooms.

As the door to the secret room was opened, Butler Yang's eyes widened in shock. He began to struggle desperately, but he was tied to the stool and could not break free at all.

Cheng Yu picked up a stool and went into the secret room, ignoring Butler Yang's struggles.

The escape room was spotless, with a plastic sheet on the floor and some 'trinkets'—it was clearly arranged in advance.

Ling Xiao put on gloves, picked up the tweezers from the toolbox, sat down in front of Butler Yang, lowered his body, and took Butler Yang's hand.

"Tsk." Ling Xiao clicked his tongue. Butler Yang's hands were very rough, with age spots and wide knuckles.

Ling Xiao is a bit of a hand fetishist; he likes beautiful hands, so he couldn't help but feel a little disgusted by Butler Yang's hands.

“Butler Yang is very loyal to my sister.” As Ling Xiao spoke, he took tweezers and pried open Butler Yang’s index fingernail, tearing it off.

The bare fingernails turned white, then began to bleed, dripping onto the chair. Butler Yang realized what was happening and started whimpering, sweat beading on his forehead.

Ling Xiao didn't care about Butler Yang's condition; his focus was entirely on Cheng Yu. He clearly saw Cheng Yu show signs of fear for a moment.

"It's a pity that Butler Yang's reach is a bit too far. Since you can't control yourself, I'll have to help you myself." Ling Xiao said this very gently, looking at Butler Yang's hand as if he were looking at a lover, but the strength in his hand was by no means small.

Of course, it would be even better if we ignored the fact that he was pulling out his nails.

Butler Yang struggled violently. At this moment, he was filled with regret and anger at his own blindness. Ling Xiao had acted so well that he had thought Ling Xiao was an easy-to-bully little white rabbit. In the end, he was a devil in sheep's clothing!

He wants to call for help; who can save him?

The ten fingernails were quickly removed, and Butler Yang was in so much pain that he almost fainted. If Ling Xiao had asked him any questions at this moment, he would have answered truthfully, just hoping to be spared. But Ling Xiao didn't ask anything, as if he was just torturing him.

"Ugh!" Butler Yang cried out in agony, his eyes wide with pain, because Ling Xiao had just severed half of his finger...

"Don't faint so quickly, or I guarantee you'll be in even more pain," Ling Xiao said calmly to Butler Yang, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Cheng Yu's face was a little pale. He was a good boy, and the only outrageous thing he had ever done in his life was to fight in underground boxing matches, which was only because he was forced to do so by life's circumstances.

Cheng Yu had never seen such a scene before. He thought of Ling Xiao's extraordinary aura and the methods Ling Xiao used to torture him. Could he have been working for a gangster?

He clenched his fists tightly, making a silent resolution. So what if they were gangsters? He was determined to work for his master. His master had saved his and his family's lives. Even if his master wanted him to die right now, he wouldn't say no. Besides, hadn't his master made it clear from the beginning that working for him was dangerous and that he could die at any moment? What was he still hesitating about?

If this is Mr.'s life, he is willing to be Mr.'s executioner and clear away all obstacles for him!

Seeing the change in Cheng Yu's expression, Ling Xiao was somewhat satisfied. After playing with Butler Yang for a while, he said he was a little tired and asked Cheng Yu, "Did you see the flower garden in the backyard when we came?"

“I saw it,” Cheng Yu replied.

"I wonder what kind of flowers these people planted. They haven't even sprouted a bud yet. They should probably give them some nutrients," Ling Xiao muttered to himself.

Cheng Yu quickly understood Ling Xiao's meaning, untied Butler Yang's ropes, and then tied him up again.

Ling Xiao acted as if he hadn't seen it, and simply said, "Be careful, don't dirty my house. After you've dealt with this, you'll be the new housekeeper."
