Life and Death Insurance – CH 033

Chapter 33

Ling Zhengzhong pointed to his lower back.

“That bastard Yu Shenglin pushed me onto the hood of the car; it hurt so much! Xiang Tian, ​​can you check if there are any bruises?”

He didn’t dare look at Xiang Tian, ​​burying his head in the sofa. He felt a corner of his shirt being lifted, and soft fingertips gently pressing on his lower back. Xiang Tian chuckled as he massaged, “A little bruised but not too bad. Here, Zhengzhong, I’ll teach you a few simple grappling techniques sometime, so you won’t be at a disadvantage if something like that happens again…”

“Oh…” Ling Zhengzhong barely heard what Xiang Tian was saying; he practically forced the word out.

God, someone save him! He thought changing the spot would be enough, but Xiang Tian’s gentle pressure was better than any professionally trained massage therapist. This wasn’t just a massage; it was practically seduction.

Ling Zhengzhong felt his desire harden even more, more intense than ever before. Even his previous girlfriends had never excited him like this. It felt like being tossed between heaven and hell, the ups and downs more thrilling than a rollercoaster ride. He grabbed a nearby cushion and buried his face in it, trying to hypnotize himself.

Ling Zhengzhong, be rational! Be rational! Don’t be a beast! Little Hamster isn’t like those people; you can’t just force yourself on him.

But…

I really can’t take it anymore. Little Hamster, are you rubbing my bruises or seducing me?

No, no, my blood vessels were about to burst…

“Um, Xiang Tian…”

“What is it?”

“Could you get me a glass of water? I’m thirsty…”

“Sure, wait here.”

Seeing Xiang Tian go to the kitchen, Ling Zhengzhong quickly sat up, placing a cushion on his lap to cover his embarrassing area, then let out a heavy sigh.

Thank goodness, he hadn’t acted like a beast; he, Ling Zhengzhong, was still a gentleman.

But…

He’d rather be a beast. What was so good about being a gentleman? He’d been a gentleman for over twenty years, and he was still framed.

He took the hot water Xiang Tian poured for him and drank it down in silence.

“Zhengzhong, don’t be upset. How about I cook a few more dishes for you to try tonight? What do you like to eat?”

Unaware of Ling Zhengzhong’s thoughts, Xiang Tian assumed he was still angry about Yu Shenglin and tried to comfort him.

“I want to eat…”

Just as he uttered those four words, the door opened. Ling Zhengzhong was furious. Besides Xiang Tian, ​​there was another person with a key to his house—Yang Yiqing.

The client had just finished assaulting someone, and the lawyer arrived at the door—a real lifesaver! But he shouldn’t expect him to show any leniency!

Sure enough, Yang Yiqing was followed by Yu Shenglin, who had a black eye and a grim expression. Yu Shenglin reluctantly entered, pulled by Yang Yiqing, and stood to one side with a gloomy face.

During the fight, Yu Shenglin, in his rage, hadn’t held back, but Ling Zhengzhong was no pushover either. His punches and kicks were equally forceful, leaving Yu Shenglin with a black eye and a bruise on his lip, looking rather comical, like a cartoon animal. He looked even more disheveled than Ling Zhengzhong, which immediately improved Ling Zhengzhong’s mood.

However, a good mood didn’t mean he wouldn’t get angry.

“Hey, what are you doing here? Didn’t you have enough fighting in the parking lot? Now you want to come to my house and fight again? Fine, fight then; I’m ready to fight to the end!”

Ling Zhengzhong said menacingly. Anyway, Xiang Tian and Yang Yiqing were both his friends; three against one, he was bound to win.

Before Yu Shenglin could respond, Yang Yiqing quickly interjected, “Zhengzhong, don’t get angry. I brought him here to get to the bottom of things.”

“Get to the bottom of what? The facts are right in front of us! This ingrate hit me!”

Upon hearing this, Yu Shenglin sneered, “Someone dares to accuse me first! Only the four of us know about my affair with Xu Yang. Yiqing didn’t say anything, and Xiang Tian won’t either. Besides Ling Zhengzhong, who always sees me as a thorn in his side, who else could it be?”

“What? You call me a thorn in your side? I think you’re the unwanted thorn, and a rusty one at that! You should have been removed long ago!”

“Ling Zhengzhong, you’re even more rusty, and you reek of money!”

Ling Zhengzhong was about to continue the insult when Xiang Tian quickly pulled him away. He’d never seen such a pointless argument before. These two were supposed to be high-ranking executives in the company, yet their insults were no different from those of kindergarten children.

Yang Yiqing’s face seemed slightly pale. He explained with a wry smile, “Actually, I don’t think Zhengzhong would do such a thing. If he wanted to deal with you, he would do it openly, not secretly.”

Yu Shenglin retorted angrily, “You believe him but not me? Everyone in the company says they heard it from him. Do you think I’m lying? Making up stories for no reason?”

“Of course, I believe you, too. Can you all calm down and explain things clearly…”

Before Yang Yiqing could finish speaking softly, Ling Zhengzhong interrupted.

“Yiqing, I know you’re his lawyer. You took his money, so naturally you’re more compliant. I won’t blame you.”

Yu Shenglin looked at Ling Zhengzhong warily. “What do you mean?”

“It means Yiqing trusts me, of course. We’ve been best friends since childhood. What’s your relationship? You’re just his client. Who do you think he trusts? If you hadn’t paid him, would Yiqing even care who you are?”

“Zhengzhong!”

Feeling that Ling Zhengzhong’s words were a bit too much, Xiang Tian quickly interrupted him. Ling Zhengzhong shut his mouth and muttered under his breath, “Where did I say anything wrong?”

Shut up by Ling Zhengzhong’s words, Yu Shenglin angrily looked at Yang Yiqing beside him. Seeing his displeasure, Yang Yiqing quickly explained, “Don’t listen to Zhengzhong’s nonsense. Tell everyone what happened today, and then…”

Yu Shenglin interrupted him with a cold laugh. “No wonder you brought me here specifically; you never believed me from the start!”

“No way! I just wanted to find out the truth!”

“Forget it, there’s no need. I don’t need your belief. Yang Yiqing, our employment relationship ends here. Goodbye!!”

Yu Shenglin turned to leave after saying this, but Yang Yiqing quickly grabbed him, saying, “Don’t get angry so easily, okay? I’ll forgive you…”

“Slap!”
