Chapter 174: Do you truly like me?

Swish—! All the underlings on scene saw the boss suddenly kneel??

A bunch of underlings were completely confused??

No, what's going on??

Why would their boss kneel down?!!

Boss Half Face is a fearsome presence in the underworld!

"Boss… Boss, why are you kneeling?!" an underling, bewildered, asked in surprise.

"Smack!" Boss Half Face viciously slapped that underling.

The underling was knocked flat to the ground.

Boss Half Face knelt on the ground, trembling, begged: "I, Zhang Ming… alias, Half Face! I don't know where I offended Nine Honors International; please, Miss Zhao, show mercy and spare my billiard hall a path to survival!"

Swish—! Hearing that, all the thugs present were stunned??

Nine Honors International??

Miss Zhao??

At this moment, Half Face saw the underlings still not kneeling and angrily shouted: "Impudent! Seeing the young lady of Nine Honors International, why aren't you all kneeling for me?!"

Half Face let out an angry shout, scaring everyone present silly!!

All the thugs stared in shock at Zhao Yuyan??

What?!

This woman before us, beautiful to the bone, is actually… actually… the young lady of Nine Honors International??

In an instant, all the thugs trembled with fear and all knelt on the ground!

Inside the billiard hall, over a hundred people, all knelt down together!

This scene was simply shocking!

At this moment, Zhou Kai knelt on the ground, face ashen! He practically had a death wish?!

What?! This woman is actually the eldest young lady of Nine Honors International?!

Although Zhou Kai is a newcomer to the underworld, how could he not have heard of the great name of Nine Honors International!

Nine Honors International, one of the longstanding powers in the underworld! Its renowned name is like thunder ringing in the ears!

Zhao Yuyan gazed at Half Face with a playful look in her beautiful eyes?

"Oh? You know me?"

Half Face's face fell as he knelt and said: "Miss Zhao… back when your father turned fifty, I… I had the honor of attending his birthday banquet. So… so I know you…"

Zhaojun's 50th birthday banquet—Half Face, Zhang Ming, had once been fortunate enough to attend.

Zhang Ming had always bragged about this, taking pride in it.

Because that was Nine Honors International!

One of the strongest factions in the underground jianghu!

As a result, today he went to the Night Style Billiard Hall and actually provoked the young lady of Nine Honors International?!

Boss Zhang Ming was truly scared out of his wits!

And Peng Ge, stepped on, turned even paler!

Peng Ge was filled with regret at this moment!

If they had known earlier that they had provoked the young lady of Nine Honors International, not even a hundred guts would make them dare!

"I see, your people offended me today—how shall we settle this account?" Zhao Yuyan said, lightly pursing her red lips.

Half Face, Zhang Ming's face went pale: "Miss Zhao, I don't know how my people offended you??"

Zhao Yuyan recounted what had just happened.

Swish! Hearing that, Boss Zhang Ming's face darkened.

"Yan Peng! You damn bastard! You good-for-nothing! You don't manage the billiard hall well, yet you send people to provoke Miss Zhao?! You wretched thing! Do you want to destroy our billiard hall?!" Zhang Ming fumed, stepped forward, and gave Zhou Peng a few vicious kicks.

The kicks knocked out several of Yan Peng's front teeth again.

Yan Peng let out a miserable wail, repeatedly begging for mercy.

At this moment, not far away, Zhou Kai knelt on the ground, not daring to take a breath.

He had realized he had caused a great disaster.

Zhou Kai couldn't believe that Lin Yuan, that loser, actually knew the eldest young lady of Nine Honors International?!

That, however, is a true ultimate-path young lady!

Boss Zhang Ming gave Yan Peng a brutal beating.

Yan Peng's wails continued as he was beaten, trembling he said: "Boss, I… I was also deceived by that punk Zhou Kai… he told me the target was just a company's worthless office worker… that's why I brought my brothers over… it's all Zhou Kai, all his fault… Boss, I was wrong, Miss Zhao, I was wrong…"

This Peng Ge, Yan Peng, collapsed in pleas for mercy.

Zhou Kai's face went pale; he hurriedly kowtowed to Zhao Yuyan, begging: "Miss Zhao, sorry… sorry, I had eyes but failed to see Mount Tai—I didn't know it was you… please, spare me…"

Boss Zhang Ming's fury exploded; he rushed forward and gave Zhou Kai a brutal beating!!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Zhou Kai screamed in agony, his face covered in blood.

"Miss Zhao, I'll break this bastard's legs to make amends!" Boss Zhang Ming said.

He said, picking up an iron rod, ready to break Zhou Kai's leg.

"No… don't… Boss Half Face… please don't…" Zhou Kai completely collapsed, pleading in terror.

Lin Yuan then spoke: "Forget it, let him go."

This Zhou Kai, after all, is just a freshly graduated college student.

Lin Yuan still had a soft heart.

Zhao Yuyan glanced at him, saying: "Fine, let it be—have him kowtow to Lin Yuan to apologize, then throw him out."

Ban Zhang Lian nodded solemnly.

Zhou Kai didn't dare be vague, directly kowtowing and apologizing to Lin Yuan, "Big Brother Lin, I was wrong! Sorry!"

At this moment, Zhou Kai's arrogance was completely gone, ah.

Ban Zhang Lian gave an order, having his subordinates lift Zhou Kai out and throw him straight out the door.

Zhou Kai collapsed, limping as he crawled away……

Zhao Yuyan, however, wasn't done yet; since she'd come tonight, she had to teach this Ban Zhang Lian a lesson.

Zhao Yuyan directly extorted one million from Ban Zhang Lian, treating it as compensation for mental distress.

Ban Zhang Lian's face turned ashen; he dared not refuse, directly transferring one million to Zhao Yuyan.

Zhao Yuyan, having extorted one million, then left satisfied.

The two got into the car.

"Tonight I made one million; I'll give it all to you." Zhao Yuyan said, intending to transfer the one million to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan hurriedly shook his head, "No, I can't take this money! It's dirty money……"

This money came from extortion; even if it were given to Lin Yuan, he wouldn't dare to take it, ah.

He is a person of principle. Such dirty money must never be touched.

Otherwise, he would invite trouble.

"Tsk, still so high‑and‑mighty; if you don't want it, should I donate it to the children's charity fund?" Zhao Yuyan said.

"Okay." Lin Yuan nodded.

Zhao Yuyan didn't hesitate either, directly donating the one million extortion money to the Zhejiang Province Children's Charity Fund.

"The matter's settled; how about you treat me to a late‑night snack? I helped you so much." Zhao Yuyan said.

Lin Yuan, helpless, could only nod.

That night, he could only ask for leave from the Goddess Bar again.

Late at night, after accompanying Zhao Yuyan to finish the late‑night snack, he then went home to sleep……

……

The next day, at the Su Group.

Lin Yuan was handling affairs in the office.

Suddenly Sun Weiwei sent him a WeChat message: 【Come to the rooftop.】

Lin Yuan startled, hurriedly went up to the company's rooftop.

Sun Weiwei stood before the rooftop railing, her graceful figure swaying.

A breeze blew, lifting her black long hair, making her look even more exquisite.

"Miss Sun." Lin Yuan stepped forward and said.

Sun Weiwei slowly turned, holding a pure‑gold watch in her hand, which she handed to Lin Yuan.

"The confidential file you provided last time is very useful; I've verified it—it's an important decision plan of Su Mo Nong. This is your reward." Sun Weiwei said.

Lin Yuan startled, took the heavy pure‑gold watch.

"This is a Rolex Blue Water Ghost, 24K pure‑gold model. Its market price is around 580,000 RMB; you can sell it at a second‑hand luxury store for about 500,000." Sun Weiwei said lightly.

Lin Yuan's heart jumped—Sun Weiwei really is generous.

I casually provided a piece of intelligence, and she gave me a pure‑gold Rolex worth over 500,000!

This bribery method is absolutely amazing!

"Thank you, Miss Sun." Lin Yuan shoved the watch into his pants pocket.

"By the way, besides that, I'll give you another reward—first turn around." Sun Weiwei said.

Lin Yuan startled, turned and faced away from Sun Weiwei.

Sun Weiwei slowly took off her flesh‑colored stockings, then handed them to Lin Yuan.

"Here, these are the flesh‑colored stockings I've worn for two days, original flavor. You guys would probably like them." Sun Weiwei teased playfully.

Lin Yuan startled, thinking…… This woman is really a pervert, ah.

But to keep his double‑agent identity from being exposed, Lin Yuan could only accept the stockings, "Um, thank you, Miss Sun."

"Use them well; remember to return them after use—I can wash them and wear them again. These are Balenciaga stockings, very expensive." Sun Weiwei teased playfully.

Lin Yuan's face flushed awkwardly, "Yes."

"Alright, you can get lost. Oh right, based on your performance these past days, I think your ability as a spy is quite good. I've decided to formally recommend you to my father. So tonight I'll invite you to my house to attend my family dinner. Tonight I'll introduce your spy identity to my father." Sun Weiwei said softly.

Hearing this, Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed.

Finally, it's here!

He had waited so long, just for this moment.

Sun Weiwei was going to tell her father Sun Licheng about Lin Yuan's spy identity.

That means Lin Yuan can finally infiltrate the inner circle of Sun Weiwei and her father.

He, can be entrusted with important responsibilities!

"Yes, thank you, Miss Sun!" Lin Yuan nodded excitedly.

……

In the afternoon, Sun Weiwei went to her father's office and told him that Lin Yuan was a spy.

In the CEO's office.

Sun Licheng stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, his voice deep, "Lin Yuan? Are you sure this guy is reliable? Can you control him?"

Sun Weiwei nodded, "Lin Yuan is greedy for money; we can manipulate him."

Father Sun Licheng, however, asked coldly, "Manipulate him? On what basis can you manipulate him? Do you have any leverage over his crimes?"

Sun Weiwei shook her head, "No."

Sun Licheng said coldly, "Weiwei, how many times have I told you? To make use of a person, you must first let him commit a crime. Then we grab his weakness, like that... only then can we fully control him. This Lin Yuan has no weakness; how can we get a hold of him?"

Sun Weiwei didn't know how to explain to her father; she couldn't possibly say that she and Lin Yuan had slept together, could she?

The two had a relationship, and indeed they could then get a hold of Lin Yuan.

But she feared her father's anger; so, how should she get past this hurdle?

Could it really be to let her father persecute Lin Yuan, let Lin Yuan commit a crime, and then get a hold of him?

But, ever since she had a relationship with Lin Yuan.

Sun Weiwei's view of Lin Yuan changed.

She had become somewhat soft-hearted; she did not want to frame Lin Yuan. Nor did she want Lin Yuan to commit a crime? So, how should she get past this hurdle with her father?

In the evening, Lin Yuan rode in Sun Weiwei's Ferrari SF90 sports car and arrived at her home.

This was still his first time coming to Sun Weiwei's villa.

But just as Lin Yuan was about to get out of the car, Sun Weiwei suddenly grabbed him.

"Lin Yuan, do you truly like me?" Sun Weiwei stared into Lin Yuan's eyes and suddenly asked.

Lin Yuan sat in the sports car, nodded, and said, "Yes, Miss Sun, I really do like you..."

But when he said those words, Lin Yuan lied. He could only secretly repent in his heart.

Sun Weiwei suddenly leaned forward, her gorgeous red lips kissing him.

Lin Yuan widened his eyes, a bit dazed.

The two kissed passionately in the car for a long time before Sun Weiwei let him go.

"Dog man, this is a little reward for you. After we go inside in a moment, I want you to do something." Sun Weiwei's beautiful eyes gazed deep, just staring at Lin Yuan.

"What is it?" Lin Yuan asked.
