Chapter 2744 Transmigrated to a Noble Academy as a Special Admission Student (28)

Kollrich and Lingling's faces were so dark they could drip soy sauce.

They never expected that Ling Yao would go so far as to involve the other three families and adopt such a tough stance for the sake of a special admission student, almost completely breaking off all pretense of civility!

Ling Ling, her neck stiff and her voice trembling with fear, shouted, "Ling Yao! What makes you think you can represent the entire Ling family!"

Before he could finish speaking, Ling Yao splashed a glass of red wine all over his face.

"You've been staying at my house for too long, have you lost your mind?"

Ling Yao's eyes held a chilling coldness.

Kollridge watched this scene with a sense of unease.

He might be able to handle the threat from Ling Yao alone, but the combined statement from these four people represents enough power to shake half of the Federation.

Even his elder brother, who commands two main legions, probably couldn't withstand the combined pressure from these four forces! He's definitely going to lose face today!

“Well… it’s not like I absolutely have to have it.” Kolcrich suppressed his anger and said through gritted teeth.

He now only hates Ling Ling, that idiot, for trying to put on a brave face and confidently claiming that he could definitely get the gene serum, putting him in a very difficult position!

damn it!

But Kollridge still tried to save face, shouting, "But is this how you treat me?!"

Ling Yao gave a chilling smile, perfectly embodying the principle of "force first, courtesy later."

"How could that be? Major General, you've misunderstood." He said with a smile, "Please have someone send that bottle of gene serum over right now."

"We promise to treat you with the utmost respect from now on."

Kollridge glared at Ling Ling, snorted heavily, and slammed the door shut with a deafening roar.

Ling Yao took it as him providing accompaniment and entertainment.

Not long after, the gene repair fluid was delivered to the private room.

Ling Yao turned around and handed it to Jin Chen, staring at him intently. "Quickly, drink it."

Ling Yao stared intently at Jin Chen's expression until he finished drinking, then asked anxiously.

"How are you feeling? Will everything be alright from now on?"

Jin Chen's heart softened, and she reached out to pinch the soft flesh of his tense cheek. "It won't take effect so quickly, and I don't know the specific effects."

Lin Baiyu suddenly suggested, "We can go to the military testing center for a mental strength graph test. I haven't canceled the test I booked before."

Ling Yao turned to look at Lin Baiyu, his eyes crinkling into a smile. "Okay."

Lin Baiyu met his clear gaze, paused for a moment, and then looked away.

In a secluded corner, unnoticed by anyone, Eric looked at the empty gene fluid container, then at Jin Chen who was being cared for, and then at his own efforts that had all come to nothing. A surge of despair rose to his head, and he was so angry that he almost burst into flames.

The auction has finally come to an end.

Lin Baiyu walked down the corridor and used a terminal to confirm the specific time for his inspection at the military headquarters with his brother.

Just as I was about to leave after ending the call, I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure passing by at the corner of the corridor.

Lin Baiyu paused, his long legs in military boots instinctively taking a few steps in that direction.

Then, it came to an abrupt stop.

He stood in the shadows, his gaze sweeping across the curve of the corner.

Jin Chen had his back to him, half-encircling Ling Yao in his arms, and gently kissed him, his affection and tenderness overflowing.

From this angle, Lin Baiyu saw Ling Yao's upturned profile, his eyes closed, his expression one of almost indulgent docility.

Lin Baiyu felt as if he had been stabbed, a hollow and bitter feeling washing over him.

He stood silently for a few seconds, then left along the path he had come from.

At the corner, Jin Chen noticed the commotion and slightly raised her eyes to look behind Ling Yao, only to see an empty corridor.

"...What's wrong?" Ling Yao asked, his breath unsteady and his eyes still a little dazed, after being kissed.

"It's nothing." Jin Chen withdrew her gaze, gently tugging at the slightly hardened little bead in his mouth with her fingertip, and chuckled softly, "Is it orange flavored today?"

"Mmm." Ling Yao responded, then licked Jin Chen's lips again, as if he was still not satisfied.

He suddenly thought of something, took Jin Chen's hand and placed it on his firm lower abdomen, and asked softly.

"Don't you really like belly button piercings?"

Jin Chen tapped his forehead.

"It hurts so much." Jin Chen disagreed, and pulled the person into his arms, rubbing his head and stroking it. "Still thinking about the waiter, you bad-tempered young master."

"...Hmph, who knows about you? Anyway, you're a pervert."

Ling Yao murmured in his arms, as if complaining, but it was clearly just him being affectionate.

He tilted his head back, the redness at the corners of his eyes spreading little by little, and whispered into Jin Chen's lips, "There's still candy left, you... give me another kiss."

Lin Baiyu walked down the spiral staircase of the auction house alone, his military boots hitting the ground.

In the lobby on the first floor, a familiar voice came from behind Lin Baiyu.

"Young Master Lin, please wait."

Lin Baiyu stopped in his tracks and turned around alertly.

Major General Kollridge stood there with a smile on his face.

"Is there something you need, Major General?" Lin Baiyu's voice returned to its usual coldness.

Kohlridge took a few steps closer. "Let's talk. I guarantee it's something you'll be interested in, and maybe it can help you untangle some of your... knots in your heart."

Lin Baiyu remained silent for a few seconds, understanding the implied meaning in the words.

"can."

-

Jin Chen returned to her rented room located on the outskirts of the college.

This place is far from the glitz and glamour of the aristocratic district, and it's also convenient for handling certain matters.

As soon as he reached the entrance of the old residential area, the security guard in uniform's eyes lit up. He rode a hovercar and glided right in front of him.

"Finally back!" The security guard's voice boomed as he pointed to the mountain of packages. "Look, these are all yours! I was watching them for you; there was almost no room to step!"

Jin Chen frowned as he looked at the pile of packages that almost blocked the doorway. "I didn't order any delivery."

"Let me check the shipping information..." The security guard took out a scanner. "Hey, the sender left a message saying that if you don't need it, you can dispose of it however you like, give it away or throw it away."

He looked at the shipping address again and exclaimed, "Wow! It was shipped directly from Star Crown Auction House! That's incredible!"

Jin Chen's eyes flickered slightly; the items Ling Yao had purchased had already been delivered to the villa.

Ling Yao would never leave such a casually handled message.

Jin Chen only thought about it for a moment and felt it was unimportant.

No one intends to accept it.

"Return it to the original address," Jin Chen said succinctly to the security guard, handing over a tip as well.

The security guard took the money, his eyes crinkling into slits with a smile. It was rare to find such a generous person among the tenants in this area.

"Okay, don't worry! I guarantee I'll return everything to you, leaving nothing behind!"

Jin Chen said no more, bypassed the trouble, opened the door and went into the room.
