Chapter 245: Enemies Meet, Eyes Red with Hatred

"What are you doing? You guys are going to violently resist the law?!" The captain of the public security squad shouted angrily.

A group of public security officers stepped forward together, and the conflict was about to break out.

Lin Yuan spoke up, "Pan Jia, don't cause trouble, we're a legitimate business, not a gang! Step back!"

"But Manager Lin... you... you haven't broken the law, why are they arresting you?" Pan Jia said through gritted teeth.

Lin Yuan replied, "I'm fine, don't worry. I'm just going back with the police to cooperate with the investigation; I'll be out soon, so don't worry."

Finally, under Lin Yuan's dissuasion, Pan Jia then led the staff to retreat.

Lin Yuan was then directly handcuffed and put into a police car, taken away.

Lin Yuan was taken to the police station and subjected to round after round of interrogation.

After all, fire safety issues involve the public safety of crowds in public places.

The fire safety of Lin Yuan's bar has serious hidden dangers; it could cost lives.

Therefore, as the person in charge, Lin Yuan became the scapegoat.

During the interrogation, Lin Yuan truthfully explained everything, saying he had constantly supervised the renovation team's progress, and this fire safety would absolutely have no problems.

Lin Yuan repeatedly emphasized that fire safety could not possibly have any problems.

The police, however, did not believe his words at all.

Thus, after the interrogation ended, Lin Yuan was again detained in the police station for several hours.

Not until midnight 12 o'clock was he suddenly released.

Lin Yuan walked out of the police station and saw a black Maybach sedan parked at the entrance.

The car window slowly lowered, and Goddess Lin Yun'er, the boss, was seated inside.

Lin Yun'er's lovely face was as smooth as jade; she gently called out, "Get in."

Lin Yuan opened the car door and got in.

Inside the cabin, a pleasant woman's fragrance floated—it was the scent of Lin Yun'er's perfume.

"Boss, was it you who got me released on bail?" Lin Yuan asked.

Lin Yun'er nodded slightly and reminded him softly, "Hmm, the matter of your bar's fire safety is likely a frame-up; you should go back and investigate thoroughly. Possibly, spies from the New Faction Group have infiltrated both the renovation crew and the staff of your second-store bar."

Lin Yuan's face grew solemn as he nodded, saying, "I understand! I will definitely find out and give you an explanation, Boss!"

The next day.

Lin Yuan worked at the Su Group during the day; in the afternoon he directly took leave and went to the Goddess Bar's second branch.

Lin Yuan gathered all the staff in the store—over sixty employees—and the renovation crew, calling them to the shop for a meeting.

Of course, Lin Yuan did not mention the spy matter at the meeting.

He naturally could not alert the snake by startling the grass.

Lin Yuan ordered the renovation team members to speed up the progress and fix all these fire safety loopholes.

After two days of emergency renovation, the renovation team finally handled all the fire safety issues.

During those two days, Lin Yuan would personally stake out and ambush inside the bar every night.

He had been waiting, waiting for the saboteur to appear.

But Lin Yuan staked out for two days and still did not encounter any sabotage.

According to Lin Yuan's deduction, if the spy wanted to cause sabotage, he would surely do so in the deep night, taking advantage of everyone's inattention, sneaking into the bar secretly to continue sabotaging.

Until this day, at three a. m.

Lin Yuan hid inside the bar, continuing to lie in wait.

At this point he was also a bit drowsy, having staked out for three full days without seeing the spy appear.

But just as he yawned, suddenly the pitch-black bar door... was slowly pushed open by someone.

Lin Yuan instantly became alert, lowering his breathing.

All he saw was the bar door being pushed open, two masked black-clad figures sneaking furtively into the bar.

The two were very familiar with the bar's layout, and they headed straight for the back kitchen.

Lin Yuan followed silently behind them...

Inside the bar's back kitchen, the two masked individuals quietly picked up a hammer and a wrench, preparing to sabotage the gas pipeline again.

The two wore grim smiles, getting ready to sabotage the fire safety gas pipeline.

Suddenly a cold voice came from behind, "You already sabotaged the gas pipeline last time; are you planning to repeat the old trick this time? Can't you come up with something new?"

Swish! The two masked men's faces startled, and they jerked their heads around to look?

Only to see, standing there behind them, was a figure!

The flashlights in their hands shone directly onto Lin Yuan's face!

They realized it was the second-store manager, Lin Yuan!

The two masked men's faces drastically changed!

Without a word, the two drew daggers and lunged at Lin Yuan in a flash!

This was a deadly move!

If an ordinary person were stabbed by these two blades, they wouldn't die but would be left half-disabled!

"Pfft-pfft!" Lin Yuan instantly raised his hand, and two silver needles shot out!

The two silver needles directly struck the two masked men's Tian Shu acupoints!

The two masked men's pupils instantly contracted sharply!

They horrifiedly discovered that their own bodies had actually stiffened and were unable to move at all!

That's right, their bodies were frozen in place, as if they were stone statues, unable to move.

They tried to move their feet, but their feet couldn't move, and their arms couldn't move either.

They were holding knives, yet they hung suspended in midair, completely frozen in place.

Their bodies seemed no longer belonging to their consciousness.

"You… what did you do to us?!" the two masked men shouted in terror.

They've lived most of their lives and have never seen such a bizarre method!

"Sealed your meridians, making you unable to move—that's all." Lin Yuan said coldly, stepping forward slowly.

Lin Yuan directly ripped off the masks on their faces.

Lin Yuan's expression tightened.

These two are exactly the two renovation workers from the construction crew!

"Come clean—who sent you here? Why sabotage my bar's fire safety system?"

The two masked men gritted their teeth and refused to talk.

Lin Yuan sneered, "Your mouth is tough, huh? Let's see how long you can hold out."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and two more silver needles shot into the masked men's bodies.

Since entering the martial world, Lin Yuan's methods have become increasingly ruthless.

He knows a truth: in the jungle world, if you aren't ruthless toward your enemies, they will be ruthless toward you.

Therefore, one must never be lenient with enemies.

"Ah!" The two masked men screamed in agony as the silver needles pierced their bodies.

Their bodies felt as if thousands of ants were tearing at them, pain excruciating.

Under Lin Yuan's ruthless interrogation, they broke down completely and finally confessed: "It… it was the K Group… Miss Hong Wenyan… who sent us to cause trouble…"

"Hong Wenyan?" Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed. That woman again?

That woman is truly a persistent nightmare!

Lin Yuan originally thought that after eliminating Chang Jinghe, he could finally have peace.

But instead, the situation kept snowballing, and now he has offended the entire New Faction Group.

Among them, Hong Wenyan of the K Group is the most troublesome.

She constantly targets him, trying to frame him.

Lin Yuan's expression turned cold; he pulled out his phone and dialed the police.

A few minutes later, the two spies were taken away by the police.

Under police interrogation, the two spies quickly confessed their crimes and implicated Hong Wenyan…

……

Late at night, Hong Wenyan was sound asleep in her boudoir when she suddenly received a police summons to come to the station……

Late at night, Hong Wenyan was summoned to the police substation.

At that moment her beautiful eyes were still heavy with sleep; being dragged to the police station in the middle of the night naturally made her unhappy.

After giving a statement at the police station, Hong Wenyan refused to admit that she had ordered the framing of the Goddess Bar.

Hong Wenyan scrambled to find a scapegoat to take the blame for her.

Given Hong Wenyan's maneuvering, the police substation could do nothing but release her.

After all, with a scapegoat taking the fall and the police lacking solid evidence against Hong Wenyan, they had no choice but to let her go.

At five a. m., Hong Wenyan walked out of the police station with dark circles under her eyes, somewhat fatigued.

As it happened, Lin Yuan had just finished his statement and also walked out of the police station.

The two met at the police station entrance.

"Yo, Miss Hong, what a coincidence? You're at the police station too?" Lin Yuan said, curling the corner of his mouth in a sarcastic smile.

Hong Wenyan's beautiful eyes flashed, glaring at him fiercely.

It's all because of that damned man, disturbing her sleep.

She could have slept soundly at home tonight.

It's all Lin Yuan's fault—he got her summoned to the police station, and almost got her arrested.

Fortunately, Hong Wenyan had prepared in advance, already having found a scapegoat, which let her avoid this disaster.

"Miss Hong, why do you look so pale? What's wrong?" Lin Yuan asked, feigning innocence.

He was just deliberately trying to disgust her!

Even though he couldn't catch her, making her lose sleep and deliberately disgusting her was good enough.

"Indeed a coincidence, you're also at the police station?" Hong Wenyan replied, curling her lips in a cold smile.

"Yeah, just now two little punks, sent by someone, deliberately came to sabotage my bar's fire system—I caught them red‑handed, and I'm giving my statement." Lin Yuan said with a deep smile.

"Oh really? Have you caught the mastermind behind it?" Hong Wenyan asked, smiling teasingly.

She was also being sarcastic: "You clearly know I'm the one behind it, but what can you do about me?"

Lin Yuan replied seriously: "I caught him—the mastermind will never have a son with an asshole; if she bears a daughter, she'll surely be sold to a massage parlor to work as a prostitute. No, wait—she might never have any offspring at all. I wish her childless! May her line be cut off! Death by a thousand cuts!"

"You…!" Hong Wenyan heard this and nearly gnashed her teeth, her jade fist clenched tight.

If looks could kill, she would have slain Lin Yuan a thousand times by now!

"Miss Hong, why are you angry? I didn't even mention you—I was just cursing that mastermind~" Lin Yuan said innocently.

Hong Wenyan gritted her silver teeth, took a deep breath, and calmed herself.

"Lin Yuan, the martial world is vast; I hope you tread carefully on this path. Don't let your shoes get wet by the river." Hong Wenyan warned coldly.

Lin Yuan replied, "Thanks for the warning, Miss Hong—I'll be sure to stay careful."

Hong Wenyan turned angrily and was about to walk away.

Her Lamborghini sports car was parked at the police station entrance.

But just as Hong Wenyan turned, her stomach suddenly let out a 'gurgle'.

Oh no, she was hungry.

Anyone who has pulled an all-nighter knows that once you stay up all night, your stomach will get hungry in the wee hours.

Hong Wenyan was taking statements at the police station tonight, and she had stayed up until the early morning.

It was already 5 a. m., and she was feeling a bit hungry. So her stomach growled in protest.

"Miss Hong, why is your stomach growling? Are you hungry?" Lin Yuan asked sarcastically.

"Mind your own business!" Hong Wenyan's pretty face flushed with embarrassment and anger; she gave him a cold stare and was about to yank open the car door to get in.

"Miss Hong, look at you, starving—looks like that all-night interrogation record has worn you out. How about I treat you to breakfast?" Lin Yuan continued to tease sarcastically.

But Hong Wenyan suddenly stopped, turned her head… her red lips curled into a deep, alluring smile, "Sure."

Eh??

Now it was Lin Yuan's turn to be stunned.

He was just making a casual joke, deliberately teasing her.

I never expected this woman to actually agree??
