Help! The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama!

Chapter 788 - 642: Never Seen Such an Indecorous Male!

Shen Tang felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward and added a piece of braised pork rib to Yin Luo’s plate, "Ah Luo, try this, it also tastes good."

Yin Luo: Alright, alright, you’re using me as a buffer, huh?

She coughed softly, sneaked a glance at Yue Lin, who was silently sitting across with a stern face, and said in a low voice with an implied meaning, "This hotel is part of a nationwide chain, the Royal City also has a headquarters. I remember the captain really likes the braised pork ribs here..."

Jiang Mu, seeing that Yue Lin hadn’t moved his chopsticks, hurriedly and diligently added a piece to his plate, "Yes, Captain, you’ve been busy the whole night; you should eat a bit, tell me what you want, and I’ll get it for you!"

Yue Lin’s brow twitched slightly, and he glanced at him lightly.

Jiang Mu shivered, the Captain’s expression didn’t look touched at all.

In any case, this meal ended in an indescribably awkward atmosphere.

After eating, it was time to get back to business.

Yin Luo and the others had already understood the course of events.

Initially, today was supposed to be the day the team returned to the Royal City, but due to last night’s unexpected situation, the itinerary would likely be delayed by a day.

Yue Lin spoke, "Shou Jin’s identity is too dangerous right now. If we want to take him out, we must get him a new identity."

Shen Tang worriedly asked, "Will it be very troublesome?"

For someone like her, arranging an identity isn’t difficult, but Jin is a wanted criminal known throughout the police force. He’s likely to be recognized as soon as he appears.

Yue Lin smiled slightly, "I have a way. Leave this matter to me; there’s no need to worry."

After all, he is the Young Master of the Yue Family, and when the old Family Head steps down, he’ll be the family leader overseeing this Purification Zone. Creating an identity from thin air isn’t difficult, but it requires going through some processes and takes time.

"Thank you, Captain." Shen Tang gratefully said.

Yue Lin, "Glad to be of help."

"If there’s any reward needed, I will make up for it!" Jin, with a stern face, pulled Shen Tang to his side. He didn’t want to owe this wolf a favor, but there was no other way right now.

Even though they were born in the same situation, he himself ended up in quite a sorry state.

Thanks to Shen Tang, Jin remained relatively obedient and did not cause any trouble, so the day passed smoothly.

By evening, team members were gradually returning to their rooms to rest.

Shen Tang was supposed to go back to the room with Yin Luo, but Jin insisted on following her.

Yue Lin had never seen a male so shameless, wanting to go back to a female’s room at night without even confirming a proper relationship!

He suppressed the impulse to kill this leopard; it wasn’t the time to act yet.

Yue Lin coldly said, "Females can take better care of each other. Your condition is still unstable; come with me, I have a spare room there."

Jin looked at Shen Tang, feeling a bit wronged, "I don’t want to stay with him; what if he kills me when I’m not paying attention?"

Admittedly, this concern is quite valid!

Yue Lin indeed couldn’t promise that he wouldn’t be tempted to act if they shared a space for one night with this leopard.

"...I’ll get you another room." Yue Lin asked the front desk for an additional room.

But whether it was a coincidence or not, this room was very far from theirs, three floors apart, with one room at the far north and the other at the far south.

Almost like being sent to the frontier!

Shen Tang could also see Yue Lin’s hostility toward Jin, and if it weren’t for her being the "Stabilizing Needle" present, these two might have already started fighting.

Moreover, Jin’s situation was special. If she wasn’t there, she feared something might happen to him.

If he became mentally unstable again, having her there meant at least she could provide timely treatment to prevent complete loss of control.

She told Yue Lin, "Thank you for your kindness, Captain, but I don’t feel safe leaving Jin alone. I’ll still go with him."

Having said that by a female, Yue Lin could not refuse, no matter how unwilling.

He suppressed the slight bitterness in his heart and handed her the room card, "If anything happens, remember to contact me first."

"Alright."

After saying goodnight, everyone dispersed.

In the deep of the night, Yue Lin finished bathing and changed into a silver silk robe, broad shoulders and narrow waist, with a tall, thin figure.

He sat down on the sofa, turned on the Light Computer, and a transparent screen floated in the air.

——It showed the investigation into Xun Fu’s identity.

The more he looked, the deeper his eyebrows furrowed. Even if they had been traveling together for a while, he seemed to know nothing about Xun Fu.

She seemed out of place with this world, her origins a mystery.

The data indicated she appeared on this land out of thin air three months ago, with no traces of life beforehand, as if she had descended from the sky.

Even the identity "Xun Fu" was temporarily registered just over two months ago; before that, she was completely off the radar.

Yue Lin fell into contemplation.

Although he grew up as a Young Master of the Royal City, he wasn’t unfamiliar with the situation in the Wasteland Zone.

That poor, underdeveloped area, riddled with pollution, was home to many lowly civilians. Many were orphans without parents, naturally having no one to help register their identities; they were off the radar from birth. Only a few fortunate Beastmen can reestablish their identities once grown.

But most of these people can’t wait until adulthood; around the age of ten, with basic survival skills, they would register their identities on their own. It’s rare to find someone who is still off-the-record as an adult.

Furthermore, even if she was off-the-record, living should leave traces of clothing, food, accommodation, and travel.

But despite mobilizing family resources for investigation, three months ago, everything about her remained blank, nothing to be found.

This was the first time encountering such a situation; it was too strange.

Returning to Shou Jin, Yue Lin had also been investigating his identity for some years due to certain reasons.

Previously, he suspected that the person imprisoned in the Death Abyss was the missing Young Master of the Hunting Leopard Clan. Now, this secret was finally confirmed.

Years of investigation further confirmed that Shou Jin had always been sealed and suppressed; leaving the Abyss or having any contact with the outside world was impossible.

The two of them couldn’t have known each other.

But the words Xun Fu said didn’t sound false.

Her love for him was so genuine, it even made him feel jealous.

Could... that secret be true?

A hint of heaviness flashed across the man’s long, dark eyes.

He pulled out a cigarette, with a soft click, ignited the lighter, and lit it.

The light smoke swirled, blurring his features and veiling the fleeting contemplation.

There was a knock on the door outside.

"Come in."

A Beastman in military attire walked in, placed a tray of snacks and drinks on the table, and respectfully said, "Greetings, Young Master! The Family Head heard of your presence here and specifically sent me to inquire after you."

Yue Lin, "Is there anything Father wants to convey?"

"You have been away from the Royal City for over a month. The family worries about your encounters with trouble and sent me to check on you."

Yue Lin looked out the window, speaking calmly, "The trouble... has been resolved. Please tell the elder not to worry."

"That’s good! Additionally, the Family Head wanted me to tell you that he misses you dearly, hoping you’ll return soon."

The Beastman said, "Your health, it’s time for a routine check-up."

"Mm, understood." Yue Lin snuffed out the cigarette butt, pressed it into the ashtray, and walked to the window, "Convey to Father that I’ll set out soon."

The Beastman withdrew.

Yue Lin looked down through the floor-to-ceiling window.

The lights of the tall buildings flickered, occasionally casting shadows of people moving.

His gaze fell on a particular room below.

The curtains were drawn, nothing visible, with only a faint warm glow seeping through.

Yue Lin’s face was cold and serious; after a moment, he opened a call, "Help me contact the Head of the Hunting Leopard Clan, Shou He."
