C49 He Drove to Relax and Met a Scumbag to Hit a Girl

The Pagani sports car roared loudly as it raced down the road, the events at Hongmei Disco already a distant memory for Lin Dong. To him, tonight's incident was nothing more than a farce. The night sky over Jiangyang City was stunning, with a full moon suspended above.

As Lin Dong watched the streetlights recede into the distance, the exhilarating sensation of speed lifted his spirits even higher. Other drivers, upon catching sight of the Pagani Huayran, quickly made way, their faces a mix of envy and awe. Even those unfamiliar with cars could sense the extraordinary value of this futuristic-looking sports car, which ensured Lin Dong a clear path—save for the occasional red light.

At one such light, Lin Dong came to a halt, pausing his journey. A WeChat message from Liu Wenming popped up: "Lin, where are you? Tian Chao, Zhou Hengyu, and I have arrived!"

Lin Dong responded, "Head inside and find Ma Chenchen. I've got something else to take care of and won't be there."

Liu Wenming shot back, "Darn! Why did you take off?"

Lin Dong quickly typed, "I told you, I'm busy. But I've asked Ma Chenchen to introduce you guys to some girls."

"Alright! We'll catch up later. Heading in now, hehe!" Liu Wenming replied, then went silent as the green light signaled Lin Dong to continue on his way.

Before he knew it, Lin Dong found himself in a residential area a bit further from Jiangyang University, a place he had never ventured to before. His usual haunts were the school or the nearby university town, with occasional trips to the city center's commercial street, often accompanying Zhang Xiaofeng on shopping trips and helping her carry her purchases.

This residential area was new to him. Nearby, a small grove with neatly trimmed trees adorned with colorful lights created a picturesque scene, adding to the area's charm.

Lin Dong pulled over to the side of the road.

It was well past midnight, and the moon was high in the sky, casting a serene glow.

The contrast between the moonlight and the stillness of the night created a perfect atmosphere, and Lin Dong couldn't help but unwind.

It had been ages since he'd felt this relaxed. Since he'd been with Zhang Xiaofeng, he'd been working tirelessly to keep her happy, juggling part-time jobs on the side. There was no time for rest.

Even in his dreams, Lin Dong was preoccupied with finding ways to earn more money to buy Zhang Xiaofeng cosmetics.

But now, those days were behind him.

Lin Dong had hit the jackpot with the Wealth System, his net worth skyrocketing to over a billion, with an additional inheritance of thirty billion yuan. He had reached a level of wealth beyond the wildest dreams of the average person.

He was utterly content.

With no more pressure, life was nothing but bliss.

"Lee Mingshan, you bastard! How dare you cheat on me with another woman!"

"Get out of my face, you lunatic! It's over between us!"

"Over? We've been together for three years! I've managed my salary just to make you happy! You said you didn't want kids, so I went through three abortions for you! I've wrecked my health, and now you're telling me it's over!?"

"You did all that of your own accord! Move, or I swear I'll hit you!"

"I'm not moving! You owe me an explanation, and I'm not letting you leave until I get one!"

...

A heated argument erupted nearby, seemingly a woman had caught her man two-timing her and was confronting him furiously.

Lin Dong glanced over and saw a man in a suit at the edge of the woods, pushing a woman next to him. He was reasonably handsome.

The woman, dressed in a business skirt and petite in stature, appeared to be an office worker. Tears filled her eyes, and her face was etched with pain.

They were the source of the earlier exchange.

This man, Lee Mingshan, was clearly a lowlife. The woman had handed over her earnings to him and had undergone three abortions on his behalf. And now, he had the audacity to be with another woman. Utterly despicable!

As they walked, the pair were embroiled in a heated argument, finding themselves near Lin Dong's car. It was then that Lee Mingshan, clearly agitated, abruptly raised his hand and delivered a sharp slap to the girl's face.

Smack!

The sound of the slap echoed.

Reeling from the blow dealt by the jerk, the girl lost her balance and stumbled into the door of the Pagani sports car.
