Chapter 91
Teaching you how to use a slingshot step by step? Father-in-law: Let go of my daughter!
On a deserted island in the early morning, the light deep in the forest was still somewhat dim.
Sunlight could hardly penetrate the dense, shady foliage, and the air was filled with the smell of damp earth.
Lin Mo walked at the front, carrying the machete that the production team had given him.
He walked casually, like an old man taking a stroll in the park after dinner.
With a casual yet deliberate flick of the wrist, the tough thorns and thick vines blocking the way were easily severed at the root.
Jiang Ruoyun followed closely behind him, like a beautiful little tail that she couldn't shake off.
The shoes she was wearing were completely ruined by the mud.
But this young lady from the Beijing elite circle, who usually pays attention to the temperature of even the water she drinks, didn't even flinch at this moment.
As long as she could see that broad and upright figure, even on this perilous deserted island, she felt incredibly safe.
Suddenly, Lin Mo stopped in his tracks.
He raised the broken knife in his hand and slashed precisely at an unidentified bush beside him.
With a crisp "snap," a sturdy tree branch of uniform thickness, perfectly shaped like a Y, fell into his hand.
Lin Mo casually used a knife to peel off the bark and excess branches, polishing it until it was smooth and not rough to the touch.
Then, to Jiang Ruoyun's puzzled look, he made a move that surprised everyone.
Lin Mo reached out and touched the hem of his oversized sun-protective clothing.
He fumbled around for a bit, then with a sudden burst of strength, he managed to pull out a long black drawstring from the bottom edge of his jacket!
This drawstring was originally used to tighten the hem of the garment to prevent wind damage; it is made of a special material and is very elastic.
Lin Mo tugged at the elastic rope a couple of times to test its resilience, then nodded in satisfaction.
Then, his slender fingers flew across the paper, as if performing magic.
The knotting, securing, and length adjustment were all performed smoothly and efficiently, without any unnecessary slack.
In less than two minutes.
A simple, rough, yet primal slingshot was born in his palm.
Jiang Ruoyun watched from behind with her eyes shining, her fair face filled with disbelief.
"This...this actually works?!"
She stared blankly at the slingshot in Lin Mo's hand, her tone filled with blind worship.
It feels like if you give this man a bunch of scrap metal, he could conjure a rocket out of his bare hands in the next second.
The hidden drone that hovered above the two faithfully transmitted the scene back to the live stream.
The entire internet exploded with comments, densely covering the entire screen.
[Holy crap! Taking clothes apart to make weapons? Lin Shen's skills are giving me the creeps!]
[His hands-on skills are simply incredible! Give him a piece of sheet metal, and could he actually build a Gundam on the spot?]
Look at the adoring look in the young lady's eyes! Absolutely incredible! The richest man's daughter has completely fallen for her, becoming her number one fangirl!
Is this the power of a max-level player? They can easily dominate with their bare hands. Zhao Kuo can't even split a coconut with a Swiss Army knife, but Lin Shen can create a weapon of mass destruction with just a rope!
Lin Mo completely ignored the camera above his head.
He bent down and carefully selected a few smooth, round pebbles from the damp, moss-covered soil.
After wiping the mud off his clothes with the pebbles, he casually stuffed them into his pocket.
The two continued walking a short distance.
Lin Mo stopped again without warning.
His previously lazy and nonchalant gaze instantly sharpened, becoming as keen as a hawk's.
He slowly raised his hand and made a shushing gesture.
Jiang Ruoyun immediately covered her mouth obediently, even her breathing became soft, and she didn't dare to breathe too loudly.
Lin Mo stretched out his finger and pointed to a dense thicket of bushes a dozen meters away directly in front of him.
Through the gaps in the intricate branches and leaves, a vibrant, colorful feather could be seen faintly.
It was an extremely plump wild pheasant, its head bowed as it foraged for food in the grass, completely unaware of the impending danger.
Jiang Ruoyun's eyes lit up instantly, and her stomach let out a soft "rumble".
Under the threat of starvation, this flashy pheasant had become, in her eyes, a pot of fragrant braised chicken.
She excitedly tugged at Lin Mo's sleeve, urging him to hurry up and do it with her eyes.
However, Lin Mo did not raise the slingshot in his hand.
He turned around, a mischievous smile playing on his lips, ready to tease the young lady.
Then, he placed the crudely made slingshot directly into Jiang Ruoyun's soft, fair hand.
He also handed her a smooth pebble.
"Young lady, self-reliance is the best policy."
Lin Mo crossed his arms and leaned casually against a tree trunk, his voice deep and pleasant.
"Come, today I'll teach you how to hunt."
Jiang Ruoyun held the slingshot as if it were a hot potato, completely dumbfounded.
"Me? I can't do it!"
She shook her head frantically, her face turning red with anxiety.
"I've never even seen something like this before. What if I miss and scare it away? We'll starve to death here!"
She has an incredibly clear understanding of her own motor skills; she is a complete level nine disabled person in daily life.
"If they run away, they'll just starve." Lin Mo shrugged, his tone flat and without any inflection.
Seeing the girl's aggrieved expression, on the verge of tears, Lin Mo finally sighed inwardly.
This ancestor was truly born to bring him misfortune.
"Raise your hands higher."
Lin Mo spoke helplessly, and at the same time took a long stride forward.
This step directly crossed the already thin safety distance between the two.
For some reason, perhaps because of last night's experience, or perhaps because he was worried that the pheasant would escape, he stood behind Jiang Ruoyun very naturally and quickly.
The man's broad, warm chest pressed almost perfectly against her thin, slender back.
A refreshing scent, carrying the fragrance of fresh grass after rain and the unique hormones of men, instantly enveloped Jiang Ruoyun completely.
Jiang Ruoyun's body stiffened instantly, her brain went blank, and she completely stopped thinking.
Lin Mo extended his hands, which were long, slender, and strong with distinct knuckles.
Without any hesitation, he directly covered her soft, boneless little hand, which was slightly cold from nervousness, with his large palm.
The man's palms, calloused from years of handicrafts, rubbed against the back of her hand, sending shivers of electricity through her.
He held her left hand and steadily raised the Y-shaped wooden fork of the slingshot.
Her right hand wrapped around her fingers, pinched the leather pouch containing the pebbles, and pulled the rubber band backward little by little.
The strong elastic rope was stretched taut, making a slight creaking sound.
At this moment, the posture between the two is like a perfect back hug, a one-to-one replica from an idol drama.
Lin Mo lowered his eyes.
With just a slight tilt of the head, one can see the girl's fair and slender swan neck, and her delicate earlobes that are so red they seem to be dripping blood.
The body in his arms was incredibly soft, and it exuded a pleasant yet deadly fragrance.
Lin Mo's Adam's apple bobbed violently involuntarily, and his breathing became heavier without him realizing it.
Something's not right. Something's extremely wrong.
Why does she smell so good!
Damn it, I acted impulsively. I'm trying to survive in the wilderness, hunting for food. What kind of dirty thoughts are I having?!
Lin Mo, wake up!
If you can't even catch a chicken, you two will be eating tree bark today!
He desperately suppressed the restless excitement in his heart and forced himself to focus his gaze on the head of the pheasant in front of him.
However, as he adjusted his aiming angle, his body inevitably leaned slightly forward.
His warm, slightly rapid breaths sprayed unreservedly onto Jiang Ruoyun's sensitive ears and the hollow of her neck.
Jiang Ruoyun felt a tingling sensation travel from the soles of her feet straight to the top of her head.
She was half-encircled in Lin Mo's arms, feeling the amazing heat and strong heartbeat coming from his back.
Her own heart began to race wildly, almost leaping out of her throat.
She could no longer see any wild chickens clearly; her vision was blurred, and her mind was filled with the scent of the man behind her.
The drone broadcast this visually stunning scene live from every angle.
After a brief pause, the barrage of comments exploded like never before.
The entire screen was completely submerged in dense text, making the image unreadable.
[Help! This awful size difference! This back hug is driving me crazy!]
[Lin Shen, put your hand on your heart and tell me! Are you really teaching hunting? You're clearly taking advantage of the young lady!]
This isn't just hunting pheasants, it's totally targeting my heart! My girlish heart is about to explode!
[So swoon-worthy! Lin Shen's handshake and bow-drawing gestures were bursting with hormones! The young lady must be completely mesmerized!]
[Haha, I suddenly thought of a very real question: what if the richest man in China, Mr. Jiang, were watching this live stream right now...?]
[The scene is too beautiful to bear! Seeing his own pristine, top-quality cabbage being so brazenly ravaged by this pig, will Daddy Jiang be so angry that he'll smash the screen on the spot?]
The comments from netizens were like prophetic spells.
At the same time.
In the CBD core area of Beijing, thousands of miles away, land is extremely valuable.
Inside the chairman's office on the top floor of the Jiang Group headquarters building.
The atmosphere was as oppressive as the calm before a typhoon.
Jiang Jianguo was staring intently at the huge live broadcast screen on the wall.
His originally rosy complexion had turned a deep liver color from anger, and the veins on his forehead looked like winding earthworms.
"Snap! Snap!"
Two sharp, teeth-grinding cracks echoed through the empty office.
The pair of priceless, century-old, top-quality walnuts with a beautiful patina that Jiang Jianguo was playing with in his hands.
It was actually crushed by this furious old father with just one hand!
He was completely unaware that crumbs of walnut shells were falling onto the expensive Persian carpet.
"That brat! That brat is going too far!"
Jiang Jianguo slammed his hand on the sturdy boss's desk, causing the documents on it to scatter all over the floor.
He pointed at the man on the screen who was almost touching his beloved daughter, and roared throughout the entire floor.
"Just teach hunting! Why are you standing so close together? The Pacific Ocean isn't even as close as the two of them!"
"He did it on purpose! He's definitely taking advantage of my daughter!"
"How dare they lay a hand on my daughter in this desolate place? They're asking for trouble!"
This usually shrewd and strategic business tycoon has now completely transformed into a domineering, irrationally impotent, and furious father who is desperate to protect his daughter.
He suddenly turned his head, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the old butler who stood to the side, looking meek and submissive.
"Butler! Smash this screen! Now! Immediately!"
"I don't want to see that opportunistic bastard for even a second longer!"
The housekeeper held a freshly brewed cup of blood pressure-lowering tea in his hand, and the corner of his mouth twitched violently twice.
He glanced at the beautiful, ambiguous image on the screen, then at the furious chairman.
"Chairman... this is a large screen you just bought last week..."
The butler, steeling himself, cautiously offered a reminder.
Moreover, even if you smashed all the screens in the world, it wouldn't stop the young lady from desperately throwing herself into his arms.
Of course, the butler would never dare to say the last sentence.
"Do you think I'm short of that little bit of money?! I told you to smash it, so smash it!" Jiang Jianguo was like a furious lion, completely ignoring any advice.
housekeeper:"........"
Meanwhile, in the dense forest of a deserted island.
The ambiguous atmosphere had been stretched to the point of breaking.
The slingshot's rubber band was stretched to its limit, exuding a sense of power poised to be unleashed.
Lin Mo forced himself to steady his disordered breathing.
He lowered his head slightly, his thin lips almost touching Jiang Ruoyun's fair earlobe.
That deep, hoarse voice, carrying a hint of suppressed desire, pierced directly into Jiang Ruoyun's eardrums.
"Don't stand still, hold your breath, and aim at its head..."
"put!"
Jiang Ruoyun's mind went blank, and her body obeyed his command instinctively.
The fingers gripping the leather pouch suddenly loosened.
A sharp, piercing sound shattered the deathly silence of the dense forest.
That originally inconspicuous pebble instantly transformed into a blurry, deadly afterimage, carrying terrifying kinetic energy as it hurtled straight toward the bushes ahead.
