Chapter 222: Chapter 222: Those Who Want to Achieve Great Things Shouldn’t Be Bothered by These Trifles

"Wang Chenning, you’re despicable!" Hearing Wang Chenning was about to extort her again, Lin Anning jumped up in a fury. "Aren’t you afraid you’ll end up with nothing?"

The spot Wang Chenning was pinching was a bit sensitive, but she was in no mood to dwell on it.

"You’ve provoked me several times, and I let it slide. Did you really think I don’t hit women?" Wang Chenning grabbed Lin Anning by the collar and lifted her up. "How much do you think your life is worth? If it’s worthless, then I want nothing. But if the Lin family doesn’t offer compensation equal to your value, then your life is forfeit!"

Lin Anning could only beg for mercy again. "Wang Chenning, let me go..."

"I can feed you a poison. After you take it, you won’t feel a thing, and no medical exam will find anything unusual. But in a few months, you’ll suddenly drop dead!" Wang Chenning said with a smile, looking at Lin Anning’s terrified face. "Or, I could make your hands and feet rot off in a few months, and have sores break out on your face. Or, I could just destroy your ability to have children!"

"Wang Chenning, stop scaring me!" Lin Anning’s face was a mask of terror. "I’m scared of you, alright? I’ll never cross you again! Please... please, will you just let me go?"

"Do you even believe that yourself?" Wang Chenning pinched Lin Anning’s pretty face. "I’m not afraid of you coming after me again. In fact, every time you do, I’ll just consider it you delivering a gift to me! This time, you must give me compensation equal to your value. Otherwise, don’t blame me for what happens next."

Just then, Lin Anning’s phone started ringing again.

Seeing "Dad" on the caller ID, Wang Chenning gestured for Lin Anning to answer the phone.

After a moment’s hesitation, Lin Anning answered the call.

"Dad!" Her voice was trembling as she spoke.

"Ningning, are you okay?"

"Dad, I’m fine!" After a brief exchange, Lin Anning gestured for Wang Chenning to take the phone.

Wang Chenning took the phone and greeted Lin Anning’s father, Lin Chengping, with a smile. "Uncle Lin, hello. Have you decided what kind of compensation you’ll be giving me?"

"Wang Chenning!" Lin Chengping asked in a low voice, "What do you want?"

"Something equivalent to your daughter’s worth!"

"Don’t get greedy!"

"When I was having dinner with your son and daughter earlier, I reminded them that we’re all adults. When you do something wrong or say something wrong, you have to pay the price." Wang Chenning gave a cold laugh. "Twelve of the Lin family’s most skilled bodyguards mobilized to kill me. Your daughter is quite the ruthless one!"

On the other end of the line, Lin Chengping was silent for a moment before saying, "One hundred million. We’ll let this matter drop, how about it?"

Wang Chenning didn’t answer right away. Instead, he turned to Lin Anning with a smile and said, "It seems you’re not that important in your father’s eyes. Only worth a hundred million!"

Lin Anning turned her face away, ignoring him.

"Fine. Since you think your daughter is only worth a hundred million, then a hundred million it is!" Wang Chenning said cheerfully. "Just transfer the hundred million to your daughter’s account, and I’ll collect it from her later. In half an hour, you can send someone to the entrance of the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine to pick her up!"

Without waiting for Lin Chengping’s response, Wang Chenning hung up the phone.

After snatching her phone back from Wang Chenning, Lin Anning glared at him. "Can I go now?"

"Go on, Young Miss Lin!" Wang Chenning was still smiling. "You’re welcome to come and bother me anytime. At this rate, I’ll be raking in money every day!"

Lin Anning almost exploded with anger. Ignoring Wang Chenning, she strode quickly toward the door.

Wang Chenning, unconcerned, followed her out of the room.

"This is my place in Yandu. I just bought it. You’re my very first guest, so feel free to come back often!" While they waited for the elevator, Wang Chenning still had that same cheeky grin on his face. "You and your family are also welcome to cause more trouble. I plan on using this apartment to earn a few ’small goals’!"

Lin Anning, who had indeed been thinking about sending people to demolish the place, took a deep breath after hearing his words and decided to forget this location ever existed.

After hailing a taxi and taking Lin Anning to the entrance of the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Wang Chenning simply left her there.

"I’m going to bed!" Wang Chenning said, waving at Lin Anning. "Your family will be here to get you soon, so I won’t wait with you. It’s cold out, be careful not to catch a chill!"

With that, he tossed a small packet to Lin Anning. "These are medicated patches for menstrual cramps. Keep them if you need them. One patch will keep you comfortable for three days, and two is enough for a whole cycle. Consider it a reward for calling me ’big brother’ so nicely! If you don’t need it, there’s a trash can over there."

Lin Anning caught it instinctively. By the time she thought of throwing it back at him, Wang Chenning had already strode into the university.

After a moment’s thought, she decided not to throw the packet of patches away.

Even though she wanted nothing more than to kill Wang Chenning, Lin Anning still trusted the bastard’s medical skills.

Her period was due in two days. If the patches could really relieve the unbearable pain that came with it, then it would be at least some small consolation.

She just couldn’t understand why Wang Chenning would give her something so useful.

’Was this his version of slapping someone and then offering them a sweet?’

Back in his room, Wang Chenning called Luo Yuqing back via video.

Luo Yuqing had sent him several messages, but Wang Chenning hadn’t responded.

When the video call connected, he couldn’t see Luo Yuqing’s face, but Wang Chenning started talking anyway. "You’ll never guess. Lin Anning tried to teach me a lesson again tonight, but I ended up teaching her a harsh one instead. Lin Chengping agreed to pay a hundred million for my forgiveness. This money is so easy to make. I’d welcome her and her brother to come harass me anytime!"

"For real?" Luo Yuqing, who had been about to give him a piece of her mind, was completely stunned. She immediately asked Wang Chenning what had happened.

When Wang Chenning told her that Lin Anning had actually sent twelve of the Lin family’s bodyguards after him, Luo Yuqing immediately burst into a stream of curses.

After cursing Lin Anning for a bit, Luo Yuqing repeated what she had said before: "Next time she provokes you, just take her. With your skills, you could conquer her in one go. I refuse to believe she’d still hate you so much after she gets a taste of what you can do. She probably wouldn’t even want to leave you. Listen to me, just dominate her, and then use her to take over the Lin family. You’re already planning to conquer the Shanxing Group through Li Fuzhen and Li Yanxian, so taking over the Lin family should be a piece of cake, right? You can use her as a warm-up!"

"That sounds like a good idea!" Wang Chenning replied with a grin. "You’d really support me doing that?"

"Obviously! Why would I say it if I didn’t support you?" Luo Yuqing rolled her eyes at Wang Chenning. "A real man who wants to achieve great things shouldn’t sweat the small stuff! It’s a shame that slut Bai Yanni has been with so many men, otherwise I’d suggest you conquer her too and then bring down the Bai family. If you don’t mind, you could still give it a try, but make sure you use protection. I have no desire to get infected with something because of that bitch."

Wang Chenning was left speechless by Luo Yuqing’s unfiltered bluntness.

Afterward, Wang Chenning called Zhao Xiao’an and told her about how he had just taught Lin Anning a lesson.

Hearing that Lin Anning had plotted against him again, Zhao Xiao’an became furious. She said she would personally go to Lin Annian and Lin Anning to demand an explanation.

She would also tell her grandfather, Zhao Jiefang, so he could weigh in on the matter.

"I’ll make sure the Lin family pays a price they can’t afford!"
