Gao Chao was certain this time—it was no illusion.

Someone not only stealthily pinched his "chrysanthemum" but also did it with considerable force, causing the petals to ache intensely.

The colleagues around were even more baffled. Was Young Master Gao having a mental breakdown?

Lin Hai was keeping a straight face, desperately holding back his laughter.

"Lin Hai, was it you who played this trick?" Gao Chao noticed Lin Hai's peculiar expression and immediately questioned him angrily.

With an innocent look and eyebrows raised, Lin Hai protested loudly in defense, "Young Master Gao, do you think I, Lin, am easy to bully? You're near the elevator, and I'm on the opposite side. Do you think I'm a gibbon with arms long enough to reach your 'chrysanthemum'? Besides, I'm not like you; I don't engage in that sort of thing."

"Who are you saying engages in that sort of thing? Say it again, I dare you!" Gao Chao was fuming, his nostrils flaring and his eyes glaring, completely losing his refined demeanor.

Lin Hai turned his head away, completely ignoring him.

"Lin Hai, explain yourself to me!" Gao Chao was relentless.

Lin Hai couldn't be bothered to waste words on the idiot and directly zapped him with a jolt of electric energy.

"Ah!"

Gao Chao leapt up like a tormented rabbit, almost hitting the top of the elevator.

Following that, his face turned extremely unsightly; he clenched his teeth as if holding something back.

The colleagues around shot him curious looks. What on earth was wrong with Gao Chao today?

Without showing any reaction, Lin Hai noticed that Gao Chao was clenching his legs tightly, and the muscles in his buttocks were also straining. Based on his understanding of human anatomy, Lin Hai conjectured the guy was trying to hold in some noxious gas, not daring to release it in the confined space of the elevator.

Immediately afterward, Lin Hai's eyebrows twitched.

He noticed the muscles in Gao Chao's buttocks gradually relaxing, in a very slow manner.

Judging from experience, this guy was definitely preparing to stealthily pass gas.

"Hmph, as expected of a treacherous scoundrel. You pretend to be all righteous, fine then; let me help you do the honorable thing just this once."

Electric energy was released.

Gao Chao's entire body tensed up in an instant, his complexion became extremely strained, his teeth chattered as his muscles clamped down tightly, seemingly resisting the physiological reflex to release a particular odor.

Unfortunately, Lin Hai's electric jolt was like opening a breach in a dam, and no matter how much Gao Chao tried to hold it in, he couldn't contain it.

"Poor guy, he's really struggling to hold it in."

Lin Hai thought to himself, took a deep breath through his nose, then held his breath without any outward reaction.

"Pfft—"

A sharp, loud sound emanated from Gao Chao's butt.

In such a confined space as the small elevator, to make such a sharp noise, accompanied by noxious gas containing ammonia, was to instantly attract the attention of everyone in the elevator.

Gao Chao's face almost turned green, wishing he could dig a hole and crawl into it.

A woman in her thirties, who was closest to Gao Chao and happened to be breathing in fresh air, was nearly induced into a heart attack by the sudden shock; her glare at Gao Chao was incredibly intense.

All seven or eight people in the elevator nearly choked to death, and the scornful looks on their faces made Gao Chao's face burn with pain.

This time, the embarrassment was monumental.

The elevator was sealed tight, with little air circulation, making everyone almost outright hate Gao Chao for the noxious gas.

In extreme mortification, Gao Chao saw the schadenfreude on Lin Hai's face and shamelessly pointed at him, saying, "What the hell did you eat last night? It's so choking. To actually fart in the elevator like that."

"Damn, that's just shameless!"

The colleagues around also despised Gao Chao for causing such a fuss and still trying to frame others.

"Sh*t, are you forcing me to give you a 100,000-volt shock?" Lin Hai thought to himself.

He channeled electrical energy, once again silently targeting Gao Chao's chrysanthemum.

This time, it was an extra-large current.

Silent and breathless, gently caressing the chrysanthemum, followed by a chrysanthemum tragedy, a butt full of wounds; Gao Chao's smile hadn't yet bloomed.

"Ah—"

A scream akin to that of slaughtering a pig echoed through the entire elevator, some clutched their ears tightly, their dislike for Young Master Gao, who had returned from studying abroad, reaching an extreme.

At this moment, Gao Chao felt as if his chrysanthemum was being brutally burst open, experiencing a tearing illusion.

Immediately after, it seemed like some chilly liquid was flowing out.

"Young Master Gao, you've leaked... Next time, remember to use the super-sized night wing type," Lin Hai pointed out Gao Chao's butt and said.

Everyone looked and saw a splash of fresh red on the back of Gao Chao's pants.

Gao Chao's mouth twitched violently in an agony of fury.

Ding dong, the elevator doors opened; everyone breathed a sigh of relief and hastily rushed out to breathe fresh air.

In the elevator, Gao Chao clenched his teeth, marking all these events in his memory against Lin Hai, word for word, his eyes filled with bitter resentment: "Lin, I will make sure you die a painful death, just wait. Once my father's plan is complete, I will make you kneel and beg me in tears!"

Today's office gossip news in the company was destined to belong to a certain Young Master Gao.

...

Lin Hai walked out of the company, bought some fruit, specifically avoiding flowers this time, then hailed a taxi and headed to the hospital.

Arriving at Queen Qi's ward, Queen herself was actually playing with WeChat on her phone.

"Eh? Qi, you play with this thing too?" Lin Hai was surprised.

Seeing Lin Hai arrive, carrying a bunch of fruit, Queen Qi immediately revealed a sweet, happy smile.

"Ah, Piaopiao taught me. It's quite fun," Queen Qi said.

Lin Hai placed the fruit aside, took out an orange, and began peeling it, saying, "Piaopiao's teaching you bad habits, huh? Lonely women play WeChat, empty men search nearby."

"Moreover, those who play with this these days, most are lonely housewives, those empty souls, specifically like to find young men for chatting, flirting, and whatnot."

Queen Qi nodded, suddenly enlightened: "No wonder there were over a hundred greetings from nearby people yesterday, saying a lot of strange things, some very disgusting. Turns out it's these kinds of people playing, then I'll delete it."

Liu Piaopiao gave Lin Hai a glare and retorted, "We play WeChat to cultivate our taste, unlike some people with dirty minds. Lin Hai, you must use WeChat only to search for young girls."

Lin Hai chuckled, "You've got it right, I do like chatting with those lonely and empty housewives on WeChat."

"Hey, pervert, what's so great about being young and rich? Second-hand goods," Liu Piaopiao shot back.

"You don't understand that, do you? Young girl, young girl, riding the clouds and driving the mist," Lin Hai chuckled mischievously, purposely saying so, with a smug expression, angering Liu Piaopiao to the point of gnashing her teeth.

Out of curiosity, Queen Qi blinked, "What about young girls?"

She asked this to find out if Lin Hai was interested in young girls.

"Young girls are even better, young girls, young girls, overturning the clouds and raining down," Lin Hai said.

Liu Piaopiao hummed, "Hmph, anyway, I like Shota, I hate old scum men like you the most."

"Shota, Shota, forcing and pulling, tsk tsk," someone's voice drifted over.

"Beast Lin, I wish you a lifetime of bachelorhood, lonely and solitary!" Liu Piaopiao exclaimed, trembling with anger.
