Chapter 252: Kowtow and Apologize!

The leading figure walking over was none other than the young miss of the K Group, Hong Wenyan!

Behind Hong Wenyan followed her brother, Hong Wuquan.

Immediately after, a group of people also got out from several BMW cars behind Hong Wenyan.

Seeing the crowd, Lin Yuan and the others' faces all turned the same.

These are all members of the New Faction Group?!

Moreover, the big shots of the New Faction Group have all arrived as well?!

The chairman of Le Tian Financial, Le Xiao chen.

The chairman of Bai Jinhán, Bai Guiyuan.

Also, the K Group, Hong Wenyan and her brother Hong Wuquan.

The chairman of the Chi Dao Group, You Kaixuan.

The chairman of the Ju Lu Group, Lu Yuanshan.

The chairmen of the New Faction Group have almost all arrived.

Seeing this show of force, Lin Yuan's expression tightened!

The 'Goddess' Lin Yun'er also had her pretty face tense, but for some reason, a flash of panic crossed her pretty face.

Because this goddess is an impostor.

With so many big shots of the New Faction Group all here, Lin Yun'er feared her identity would be exposed.

Lin Yun'er and An Yunxi exchanged a glance.

Then, in her panic, she rose and slipped away from the scene……

At that moment, An Yunxi immediately stepped forward and said coldly, 'The New Faction Group has all come? Hah… what a grand show, what do you want?!'

Lin Yuan also looked grave, he subconsciously turned around, wanting to ask the Goddess Boss how to handle this.

But as soon as Lin Yuan turned, he discovered that the Goddess Boss, Lin Yun'er, had already vanished?

Uh??

Where is the Goddess Boss??

'Where is the boss?' Lin Yuan leaned close to An Yunxi's ear and whispered.

'The boss has something to do and left first. I'll handle things here, don't worry.' An Yunxi also replied in a low voice.

Lin Yuan was somewhat speechless……

At this critical moment, why did the boss just leave?

He wasn't exactly afraid; mainly, he'd never encountered such a situation and didn't know how to handle it.

At this moment, the people of the New Faction System Group have already walked forward.

A dark mass of people, the atmosphere oppressive and chilling.

Hong Wenyan lightly pursed her red lips and coldly said, 'An Yunxi, don't be afraid; we're not here to cause trouble this time. We're here to sincerely congratulate you on the opening of your Goddess Bar branch two.'

'Exactly, can't we New Faction Group just come to offer congratulations?' Behind her, several other chairmen of the New Faction Group also stepped forward and sneered.

'Where is your boss, the Phoenix God? Seeing us arrive, doesn't she know to come out and greet us?' The chairmen of the New Faction Group said teasingly.

'The boss left first due to something; if you have anything, tell me.' An Yunxi said coldly.

At that moment, Granduncle also slowly rose from the guest seats and walked forward.

'Tonight the Goddess Bar branch two opens, and you New Faction Alliance have all shown up—are you here to cause trouble or to stir up chaos?' Granduncle leaned on his cane and stepped forward, speaking calmly.

'Granduncle, you're here too.' Those chairmen of the New Faction Group were visibly startled, and their attitudes became much more respectful.

They never expected that the opening of such a small Goddess Bar branch two could actually invite Granduncle.

Hong Wenyan also stepped forward, respectfully nodding and saying, 'Junior Hong Wenyan, I have met you, Granduncle.'

Granduncle's gaze was deep; he swept a glance over Hong Wenyan.

'You little girl, though young, you have a fierce temper—your father didn't come? It seems you now fully control the K Group.' Granduncle said in a weathered voice.

'I'm merely acting as my father's agent in managing the group; I still have much to learn, so I should seek your guidance more often, Granduncle.' Hong Wenyan said respectfully.

'As they say, the waves behind push forward those ahead; your future achievements will surpass mine. Don't be modest—I can't teach you anything. My only reminder is: don't engage in illegal business anymore; wrap it up soon.' Granduncle coldly reminded, 'Also, tonight the Goddess Bar is opening; I hope you don't cause trouble here, otherwise don't blame me for being impolite.'

Hong Wenyan's beautiful eyes flickered slightly; she simply couldn't understand how Lin Yuan, such a small-time newcomer to the martial world, could get Granduncle, such a senior, to wholeheartedly back him.

Hong Wenyan lightly leaned forward and said, 'Granduncle, rest assured, we came tonight not to cause trouble, but specifically to bring some gifts to congratulate the opening of the Goddess Bar branch two.'

Saying this, Hong Wenyan lightly clapped her hands.

Only then did one see a group of lackeys behind them carrying up celebration flower baskets one by one.

Each flower basket was very festive.

Several dozen flower baskets were placed outside the Goddess Bar branch two.

Lin Yuan's deep gaze swept over those flower baskets, then turned to Hong Wenyan.

He was somewhat surprised.

I originally thought these New Faction Group people were here to cause trouble?

As it turned out, they not only didn't come to cause trouble, but actually sent over so many flower baskets??

This left Lin Yuan somewhat bewildered.

'Miss Hong, I appreciate the kindness, but there's no need for these flowers—please take them back.' Lin Yuan said coldly.

This morning, he had just eaten breakfast together with Hong Wenyan at a breakfast stall.

They met again tonight, but Lin Yuan felt no fondness for this woman.

This woman comes with ill intent; these flower baskets, Lin Yuan dared not accept.

Yet Hong Wenyan and the chairmen of the New Faction Group insisted on sending them.

'Lin Yuan, we came tonight with pure goodwill; if you refuse to accept, it's just not giving us face.' Hong Wenyan said, lightly pursing her red lips.

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes, feeling that Hong Wenyan and the others had come tonight with ill intent.

But he couldn't find any evidence for the moment.

"Fine, I'll take the flower baskets; can you leave now?" Lin Yuan said helplessly, only able to nod.

"We've brought the flower baskets; won't you invite us to sit?" Hong Wenyan said teasingly.

Lin Yuan shook his head. "Sorry, the shop is small and we haven't prepared so many seats; I'm afraid we can't accommodate you few esteemed guests."

"You little bastard, you're asking for death!" a male thug behind Hong Wenyan stepped forward and shouted angrily.

Lin Yuan suddenly lifted his leg sharply, "Bang!"

Lin Yuan's leather shoe delivered a fierce whip kick, directly sending that thug crashing to the ground!

"Pfft!" the male thug spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot.

"Fuck! You dare to strike?!" Hong Wuquan shouted in anger, bellowing, "Grab your weapons!"

Behind Hong Wuquan, a mass of black-clad bodyguards surged forward!

The scene was chillingly tense!

"Smack!" Unexpectedly, Hong Wenyan slapped her brother, saying, "We came tonight to celebrate the opening of Lin Yuan's bar; who let you act rashly? All of you, retreat!"

Hong Wenyan shouted!

Hong Wuquan was stunned by the slap, covering his cheek in disbelief.

He bewilderedly found himself slapped by his elder sister?

Hong Wuquan felt utterly aggrieved, but he dared not defy his elder sister's words, so he gritted his teeth and withdrew.

Hong Wenyan crouched down and, aiming at the underling who had just insulted her, suddenly swung another slap!

That underling's cheek became red and swollen from the slap.

"You're nothing but a dog by my side; as the master I haven't even spoken, so what gives you the right to talk?" Hong Wenyan scolded coldly while slapping the underling.

The underling who had just cursed covered his cheek, trembling in fear as he apologized, "Miss, I'm sorry, I was wrong..."

"What's the use of apologizing to me? Apologize to Lin Yuan!" Hong Wenyan snapped coldly.

The underling trembled as he crawled to Lin Yuan's front and apologized, "Mr. Lin Yuan, sorry... it was my fault; I shouldn't have insulted you."

"Kowtow to Lin Yuan in apology! Show more sincerity!" Hong Wenyan continued to scold.

The underling, without a word, directly kowtowed to Lin Yuan, "Thud!"

The underling's head slammed hard into the ground, cracking his skull.

While kowtowing to Lin Yuan, the underling kept apologizing.

Lin Yuan was left dazed?

What act is Hong Wenyan playing??

The other old‑faction chairmen were also a bit bewildered?

This?

Today Hong Wenyan is acting quite out of the ordinary, huh??

After the underling had kowtowed a full ten resonant bows to Lin Yuan,

only then did Hong Wenyan ask, "Lin Yuan, can you let go of your anger now?"

Lin Yuan coughed once and replied, "All right."

Only then did Hong Wenyan kick the underling, coldly saying, "Get lost, you embarrassing thing."

The underling dared not even breathe, retreating by rolling and crawling.

Moreover, he really crawled while rolling to the back, not daring to stand up.

This scene was simply too shocking.

Hong Wenyan had trained this group of underlings to be as obedient as a dog.

"Hong Wenyan, esteemed chairmen of the New Faction Group, I've accepted the flower baskets and appreciate the sentiment. My bar is about to hold its ribbon‑cutting opening; with so many of you standing here, you're rather in the way—can you leave?" Lin Yuan asked coldly.

Hong Wenyan gave a cold laugh, "Since Manager Lin doesn't welcome us, we'll just leave."

After saying that, Hong Wenyan clapped her hands and said, "Withdraw."

She and the New Faction Group chairmen... all withdrew, getting into their cars.

One after another, BMW 7 Series sedans sped away……

Watching the New Faction Group's motorcade depart.

Everyone present felt uncertain and suspicious inside?

This New Faction Group had come specially to deliver flower baskets and celebrate, yet they caused no trouble?

This doesn't match their style at all.

Lin Yuan also found it suspicious, a faint unease flickering in his heart.

He sensed something was off, but Lin Yuan had no evidence and couldn't put it into words.

……

Meanwhile, the BMW 7 Series sedans sped away.

Hong Wenyan and her brother Hong Wuquan sat inside the car.

Hong Wenyan's lovely face was icy cold as she raised her wrist to check the time on her watch.

"Sis, why did you really hit me just now?" Hong Wuquan said, covering his cheek, feeling wronged.

"Just to stall for time; if I didn't really hit you, how could we act? How else could we buy time? The timing is just right now—they should have finished their preparations." Hong Wenyan narrowed her beautiful eyes, speaking in a deep, mysterious tone.

Earlier she had deliberately slapped the underling to make him kowtow and apologize.

Everything was merely to stall for time.

By now the stall had lasted long enough, so Hong Wenyan and the others withdrew.

Tonight, Lin Yuan's bar opening went off to a great start.

As an old friend, Hong Wenyan wouldn't just stop at sending a few flower baskets, would she?

Tonight, she even went out of her way to prepare a real 'big gift' for Lin Yuan!
