Chapter 209

Swish~! Upon hearing that, Lin Yuan was completely stunned??

"Old man…… you, you'd better not joke…… I'm not familiar with your granddaughter either, and besides, my conditions are so poor, I'm not worthy of her." Lin Yuan directly shook his head and refused.

"This joke is taken too far."

"Oh? But I feel like you're despising my granddaughter." The old man said in a gloomy voice.

"No no, old man, my conditions are indeed too poor; your granddaughter is a doctor, her conditions are so good, I'm not worthy of her." Lin Yuan repeatedly shook his head to explain.

"Heh, young man, my suggestion—you'd better consider it; as long as you can teach my granddaughter traditional Chinese medicine, everything can be discussed. Once you've decided, contact me anytime." The old man said, handing his phone number business card to Lin Yuan.

On the old man's business card, his name was written: 【Ren Tianye】

Phone: 【144-4444-4444】

What the heck?

Looking at the old man's phone number, Lin Yuan was a bit shocked.

This old man's phone number is too fierce, right?

So many deaths. Such a fierce number, hardly anyone can handle it.

This old man is pretty badass.

The old man leaned on his cane and slowly got into the car and left.

Only Lin Yuan remained standing there, silent for a long time.

He put the business card in his pocket, then rode his bicycle home……

……

A black Audi drove slowly along the midnight highway.

"Sir, you wouldn't really intend to engage the young lady to him, would you? He's just a grassroots nobody, completely worlds apart from the young lady." The driver in the front seat of the Audi asked in surprise.

The old man sitting in the back‑seat boss's chair slowly smiled, "Originally I hadn't planned it, but after meeting him just now, I've actually started to think about it."

The driver was even more shocked, "Sir, why?? He's just a grassroots nobody……"

The old man took a deep puff of his cigar and slowly said, "When he just saw my gaze, he was fearless in the face of danger, his eyes calm like a hawk. I rarely see such eyes in people his age. Do you know who his eyes remind you of?"

The driver shook his head in confusion, "I don't know…… who does he remind you of?"

The old man slowly said, "A murderer."

Swish~!

The driver's face suddenly changed, "What? Old man, you mean he's killed someone?? Then it's even more unsuitable to engage the young lady to him."

The old man, however, slowly shook his head, "No, I mean his eyes…… are as sharp and ruthless as a murderer's. I've only seen that kind of eyes in murderers. Ruthless, decisive…… throwing caution to the wind. Such a person would be terrifying. He's a wolf, a low‑key wolf hiding his fangs. With courage and strategy, once given time to grow, he'd become terrifying."

The driver's face became even more shocked; he had never seen the old man give such high praise to a young person before.

"Sir, are you really going to engage the young lady to him?" the driver asked in surprise.

The old man took a deep puff of his cigar, "Everything, let's see how he performs. If he can survive this trial…… then I might consider it…… heh, anyway Ni Chang that girl has always been hard to please with a partner, so it's perfect…… I'll pick one for her, so I can hold a great‑grandson sooner."

……

The next day, Lin Yuan went to work at the company, and all day he was absent-minded.

If Chang Tao isn't eliminated, he will at any time send assassins to kill him.

This leaves Lin Yuan unable to guard against it.

All day, Lin Yuan stayed vigilant at the company, fearing that assassins might sneak in.

Lin Yuan sent a WeChat message to An Yunxi, asking about Chang Tao's situation.

An Yunxi replied: 【Chang Tao has lost contact recently; he should have gone somewhere to lay low. The Goddess Boss is still looking for Chang Tao's whereabouts, so wait a bit longer, don't rush.】

Lin Yuan felt helpless; Chang Tao had gone into hiding?

This makes finding him even more troublesome.

Lin Yuan called Zhao Yuyan to ask about Chang Tao's situation.

As it turned out, Zhao Yuyan also didn't know where Chang Tao had hidden.

"Lin Yuan, rest assured, I, Zhao Yuyan, will definitely help you avenge your grudge. I have already mobilized all the informants of Nine Honors International, and we are now searching the entire city for Chang Tao's whereabouts. As soon as we find Chang Tao, I will make him kneel before you and kowtow for mercy!" Zhao Yuyan assured over the phone.

Lin Yuan thanked her and hung up.

Lin Yuan let out a sigh; Chang Tao suddenly went into hiding.

But he himself was still out in the open.

One is in the light, the other in the dark.

This puts Lin Yuan in an even more passive position.

Only until evening, when work ended, did Lin Yuan drag his weary body home.

After sending Director Su home, Lin Yuan drove toward Shidai Gongyu.

The car stopped in the apartment's underground parking lot.

Lin Yuan got out of the car, wearing his leather shoes, and headed toward the elevator.

But just then, several other cars around the garage suddenly started their engines.

Lin Yuan instantly became alert; in the dim garage, he quickened his pace.

At that moment, he was still ten meters from the elevator lobby.

"Buzz……!" Just then, suddenly from behind… a black Lexus sedan surged forward, accelerating rapidly and rushing straight at Lin Yuan!

In an instant, Lin Yuan leapt into the air!

He jumped two meters high in an instant!

The Lexus sedan roared past beneath Lin Yuan!

The collision failed.

Lin Yuan's body landed back on the ground.

"Buzz!" That Lexus sedan suddenly reversed, then charged at Lin Yuan again!

Lin Yuan sidestepped to avoid it!

The sedan swept past, missing Lin Yuan by barely a centimeter!

"Screech!" The Lexus sedan slammed on the brakes and stopped!

The car door flung open, and a black‑clad figure leapt out.

That black‑clad figure flashed forward with incredible speed, reaching Lin Yuan in the blink of an eye!

"What incredible speed!" Lin Yuan's pupils contracted!

Before he could react, the black‑clad figure twisted his wrists, and two sharp daggers slid out from his sleeves.

"Whoosh!" The two daggers thrust toward Lin Yuan's ribs and chest!

Lin Yuan lunged backward to dodge!

"Swish swish swish!" The black‑clad assassin rushed forward in pursuit!

His tactics were brutal—every strike of his daggers was lethal!

Lin Yuan was bare‑handed, with no weapon to block, so he could only keep retreating and dodging.

This assassin's skills were terrifying—clearly the result of professional assassination training!

"Swoosh!" At that moment the assassin's dagger lunged toward Lin Yuan's shoulder!

It looked as if the dagger was about to pierce Lin Yuan's shoulder!

"Clang!" Suddenly a metallic ringing rang out!

The dagger was blocked! It hovered just one centimeter from Lin Yuan's shoulder.

The assassin's pupils contracted sharply?!

Only then did one see a silver needle appear on Lin Yuan's left fingertip.

Just now, it was Lin Yuan who blocked the assassin's dagger with the silver needle in his left hand.

The assassin thrust his other dagger straight at Lin Yuan's abdomen!

Lin Yuan whipped his right hand around!

He had not wanted to use the silver needle, as his grandfather had repeatedly warned him!

The silver needle is the Lin family's final secret art.

Unless absolutely necessary, it must not be used.

But this assassin forced Lin Yuan's hand, leaving him no choice but to employ the silver needle as a hidden weapon!

The assassin's dagger was extremely fast.

Yet it could not outpace the silver needle hidden weapon!

"Pfft!" In the blink of an eye, Lin Yuan twisted his right hand, and a silver needle shot forth at breaking‑the‑air speed, piercing the assassin's neck!

"Ugh……!" The assassin's pupils shrank violently!

The silver needle directly pierced his neck's major blood vessel!

In an instant, the assassin's Tian Shu acupoint was struck, his whole body's muscles instantly tensing and locking, rendering him immobile!

His two daggers also froze mid‑air at the same moment.

"Ugh… what… what did you do to me?!" the assassin cried in terror, his body frozen in place, unable to move a muscle.

"I've only sealed your acupoints—don't panic." Lin Yuan's voice was ice‑cold as he stepped forward slowly.

"Speak—who sent you?" Lin Yuan interrogated.

The assassin gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Go ahead and kill me! You'll get nothing out of me!"

"Crack!" As soon as the assassin finished speaking, Lin Yuan seized his left shoulder and squeezed hard!

The assassin's left scapula snapped outright!

"Ahhh……!" The assassin screamed in horror—his left shoulder crushed, excruciating pain tearing through him, as if he'd rather die!

"I… I'll kill you!! I will kill you!!" the assassin roared ferociously!

"Crack!" No sooner had he spoken than Lin Yuan grabbed the assassin's right scapula and squeezed hard!

The assassin's right scapula collapsed instantly!

Both scapulae were shattered, rendering the assassin's shoulders useless!

Blood gushed wildly from both of the assassin's shoulders!

"Still refusing to talk? Your resistance is impressive." Lin Yuan's voice remained icy as he raised his right hand and drove another silver needle deep into the assassin's chest!

This silver needle pierced straight through the assassin's chest muscle and struck his Shan Zhong acupoint!

"Ahhh……!" The assassin shrieked in terror!

The Shan Zhong point is the human body's weakest spot.

When the Shan Zhong is pierced, the assassin's whole body erupts in agony, as if his heart were about to explode—it feels like thousands of ants gnawing at his heart!

Such pain is unbearable!

"Please… spare me… please… I'll talk… I'll talk!! It was Chang Tao, Young Master Chang who sent me to cripple you…" the assassin's eyes bloodshot, his voice trembling.

Under such agony, tears of fear streamed from the assassin's eyes.

It's hard to imagine what kind of pain could make this cold‑blooded assassin break down and weep.

Lin Yuan's face darkened—sure enough, it was Chang Tao again.

"What is Chang Tao's aim? To kill me?" Lin Yuan demanded coldly.

The assassin shook his head, trembling: "No… Young Master Chang wants me to cripple your limbs, turn you into a disabled person, then… bring you to his private villa… he reminded me to leave you alive…"

Lin Yuan's pupils narrowed: "So you know where Chang Tao's private villa is?"

The assassin shook his head, trembling: "No… I don't know. Young Master Chang said he'd only send the villa address after we captured you and crippled you…"

Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed; this Chang Tao is very cautious and careful.

"Call Chang Tao, tell him you've caught me, and have him send you the villa address," Lin Yuan said coldly.

Since Chang Tao has repeatedly sent people to pursue and kill.

This time, Lin Yuan does not intend to endure any longer.

Enough is enough—no need to endure any further!

He will take the initiative to attack!
