Chapter 64

A conspiracy targeting U.S. armed forces in the Middle East is unfolding.

Modu, Dragon Nation, 5:00 PM.

As agreed with Han Han Han Yajing, Lin Yi arrived at the East Gate of the Engineering College.

Come to think of it, this was his first time back at the school since being expelled.

The Engineering University remained exactly as it had been before.

It would not change simply because one Lin Yi had left.

However, when he arrived at the college entrance in an Audi A8,

he saw the beautifully dressed Han Han Han Yajing being harassed by a young man with a sinister expression.

Upon seeing this person, Lin Yi immediately frowned.

"Master Hou, just park the car here!"

Lin Yi said to the driver he had recently hired.

"Yes, Boss!"

Master Hou was an experienced driver with over twenty years behind the wheel.

In all those years of driving, he had never been responsible for a single accident.

This was precisely why Lin Yi was willing to hire him at a high price.

Once Master Hou had parked the vehicle, Lin Yi immediately stepped out.

Just as he entered the school gate, he heard Han Han Han Yajing rebuke:

"Student Guo, please have some self-respect; I have a boyfriend!"

Guo Hong chuckled and replied:

"Heh, you mean that rural hick Lin Yi?"

Saying this, he looked at Han Han Han Yajing with disdain and continued:

"Han Han Han Yajing, didn't you just take a liking to that hick's money?

If you were with me, I wouldn't lack for anything to give you either. Besides, don't think that kid is anything special; he just owns a rundown battery factory, doesn't he?

Do you believe I could have someone shut down his crappy factory tomorrow?"

Even now, Guo Hong, the son of Modu's Deputy Department Director,

still believed that only Heaven was first and he was second.

He simply looked down on nouveau riche individuals like Lin Yi.

Incidentally, his father, Deputy Director Guo, had recently been confirmed by higher authorities for promotion to the full departmental level.

Given Deputy Director Guo's Stone Stone Stone Stone Age of just over forty,

there was at least the possibility of rising one more step to the vice-ministerial level in the future.

Even the ministerial level was not impossible if his performance was good enough.

Knowing his father was about to be promoted, Guo Hong naturally felt exhilarated; in short, he had become arrogant.

Although he always referred to himself as the Crown Prince of Shanghai,

he knew that in Modu, people holding positions higher than his father's were not exactly as numerous as ox hairs,

but at least more than could be counted on two hands.

It was just that he could not break into the higher circles of second-generation elites.

Therefore, he could only show off and bully others within his own small circle.

Originally, he thought that with his status, pursuing a student like Han Han Han Yajing would be a sure thing.

As luck would have it, a hick named Lin Yi had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

For the sake of this hick, Guo Hong had employed every trick in the book.

However, in the end, not only did that bastard fail to bring him down,

but relying on nothing more than a crappy battery, this guy whom he viewed as a hick

had actually pulled off a complete 180-degree turnaround.

From carrying the sedan chair for Boss Jia of LeEco to partnering with Huawei,

even Guo Hong felt this world was somewhat unreal.

Nevertheless, he still believed Lin Yi was a man without any background.

No matter how well his enterprise was run, it might eventually be swallowed by certain people.

Therefore, Guo Hong was not worried about anything.

However, he had no idea what consequences this matter would bring about.

At this moment, just as Han Han Han Yajing was about to speak, her face suddenly lit up with a smile.

Then, from behind Guo Hong, a voice rang out:

"Is that so? Young Master Guo, I'd like to know how you plan to shut down my company!"

Hearing this, Guo Hong immediately turned around and saw Lin Yi.

In fact, this was the first time the two of them had met in person.

Yet, he recognized Lin Yi at a glance and asked with a frown:

"Lin Yi!?"

Lin Yi nodded and said:

"I am indeed that hick Lin Yi you just mentioned. What, don't you recognize me?"

Pausing for a moment, he added:

"I just heard Young Master Guo say he wants to shut down my company; I wonder if you actually have the capability for that. Don't just talk without acting... I would be disappointed!"

Upon hearing this, Guo Hong's face instantly flushed red with anger.

Apart from those top-tier second-generation heirs in Modu, who would dare speak to him like this?

Yet, this country bumpkin Lin Yi was mocking him.

"Hmph, Lin Yi, don't get too cocky; we'll see about this!"

With that, Guo Hong lost all interest in pestering Han Han Han Yajing any further; he flicked his sleeves and strode away.

He climbed into a gray BMW 730 parked nearby, a vehicle with a final price of roughly 1.1 million yuan.

However, compared to those ultra-luxury cars, this BMW 7 Series did not appear particularly ostentatious.

After he drove off, Lin Yi's expression turned cold.

Yet, the moment he turned around, he concealed it.

At that moment, Han Han Han Yajing looked at him and said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, Lin Yi; this person keeps pestering me!"

"Hehe, why are you apologizing, Beauty Han? This has nothing to do with you...!"

Lin Yi said with a smile.

Hearing this, Han Han Han Yajing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Clearly, she valued Lin Yi greatly; otherwise, she would not have bothered to explain so much.

"Alright, let's get in the car; we're going to Wanda Plaza for seafood!"

Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Mm-hmm!"

The little foodie Beauty Han nodded vigorously, her eyes sparkling with delight.
