Chapter 256: When You're My Pet

Zhou Xinyi was indeed washing her face.

However, she was…

Du Haotian outside probably never imagined…

The girlfriend he had chased for so long was now kneeling before her ex-boyfriend, being humiliated!

Lin Yuan was a bit dazed.

At this moment, Zhou Xinyi also hung up Du Haotian's phone.

Lin Yuan directly pushed her away and zipped up.

"Lin Yuan, I beg you, don't abandon me… I want to be with you." Zhou Xinyi trembled as she grabbed the corner of Lin Yuan's clothes.

Lin Yuan turned his head and glanced at her wet, pretty face.

"Zhou Xinyi, forget it, you're not worthy." Lin Yuan said coldly.

At this moment, Zhou Xinyi broke down crying, tears like pear blossoms in rain.

"Lin Yuan, even if… even if I can't be your girlfriend, then… then I can be your pet… as long as, as long as you can support me, I, I will be your pet for life… okay?" Zhou Xinyi's voice trembled; for money, to win back Lin Yuan, she actually said such things.

She was willing to be Lin Yuan's pet?

Even Lin Yuan was somewhat shocked.

Zhou Xinyi, how could she say such shameless words.

"Zhou Xinyi, you make me sick, get lost." Lin Yuan shoved her away and walked straight out of the restroom.

There's nothing to talk about with this kind of green tea bitch.

"Lin Yuan, as long as you're willing, I will forever be your pet… wuwuwu…" Zhou Xinyi knelt on the restroom floor, crying uncontrollably…

…

After a long while, Zhou Xinyi walked out of the Goddess Bar with tears all over her face.

She arrived in front of Du Haotian's Porsche sedan.

Du Haotian gently embraced her and asked, "Xinyi, what's wrong, why is your face all wet?"

Du Haotian questioned doubtfully, "Nothing."

Zhou Xinyi shook her head.

"Xinyi, why not not go home tonight? You're drunk… how about coming to my place to rest?" Du Haotian said with a lecherous smile.

He had been holding back for too long; after dating Zhou Xinyi for several months, he still hadn't gotten her.

Tonight, he must seize this opportunity to get Zhou Xinyi.

But Zhou Xinyi shoved him away, "No, I want to go home."

Saying that, Zhou Xinyi, without regard for Du Haotian's obstruction, directly hailed a taxi and went home…

Only Du Haotian remained, gritting his teeth, staying in place.

"Damn it!" Du Haotian's face full of frustration!

He thought he could hit a home run tonight, but… he got stood up again.

He damn it!

Du Haotian glanced at his wet hand; the moisture on his palm came from Zhou Xinyi's face.

Hmm?

Why does this water smell like urine?

Du Haotian brought his palm to his nose and sniffed—it was a familiar "horse urine" smell.

Du Haotian furrowed his brow… hurriedly dried his hand.

Damn. What is Zhou Xinyi doing? Why does her face have that smell?? Du Haotian puzzled and bewildered.

Eh.

He sighed.

Tonight, am I only able to be a handicraftsman again?

Du Haotian unwilling.

He spent 14,000 bucks tonight!

Yet he still couldn't get Zhou Xinyi!

Is this woman plated with gold?

So difficult!

So he could only get in the car and call a designated driver.

"Master, go to Hai Na Bai Chuan…"

Du Haotian gritted his teeth and said.

Hai Na Bai Chuan is a well-known massage center locally… inside, various "treasure sword" items are available…

Tonight, Du Haotian can only spend money on the "treasure sword" again…

…

Tonight, the Goddess Bar's business is booming to an explosive degree.

At 2 a. m., the chairmen of the old-school conglomerates were also pretty drunk.

They all said their goodbyes and left.

Lin Yuan personally sent those tycoon chairmen out the door.

But at this moment, the bar's business remained booming.

G-Dragon was still singing on stage.

A tiny bar being able to invite a top-tier Korean star like G-Dragon shows its strength!

At 3 a. m., the bar's business was still booming.

At this moment, Qin Bore was also feeling a bit drowsy; she couldn't help it and left early.

Only An Yunxi and the others remained, still helping Lin Yuan manage the business.

"Get ready to stay open all night tonight; with business like this, staying open all night is no problem, or we could just keep the shop open until dawn." An Yunxi reminded.

Lin Yuan nodded; it's already 3 a. m., and business is still this good.

The bar was packed with people.

That could certainly stay open all night.

But, at 3:30 a. m.

Suddenly, a large group of police burst in outside the bar!

"We received a report! Your bar is suspected of selling fake cigarettes and fake alcohol! Please cooperate with the investigation!" The police entered and shouted sternly.

Inside the bar, the loud music was turned off.

The patrons were all suddenly suspicious and uncertain.

Goddess Bar selling fake cigarettes, fake alcohol?

What's going on??

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes; he didn't mind, letting those police comrades investigate as they pleased!

The police searched the bar's warehouse! Indeed, they discovered…… the bar was hiding fake alcohol and fake cigarettes!

The entire Goddess Bar was immediately ordered to cease operations for rectification!

Lin Yuan, the person in charge, was also detained on the spot by the police and taken away!

At 3:30 a. m., one could see Lin Yuan being taken away.

An Yunxi's pretty face was anxious; she hurriedly dialed the Goddess Boss's number……

……

Late at night, the top floor of a skyscraper in the center of Hangchengshi.

This is an ultra-luxurious split-level rooftop room with a river view.

Qin Bore had already returned home at this time; she was lying in a large bathtub, taking a rose bath.

Outside the bathtub was a floor-to-ceiling window; beyond it, the neon-lit scenery of the Qiantang River.

"Ding ling ling!" Just then, Qin Bore's phone ringtone suddenly sounded.

Qin Bore suspiciously picked up her phone and saw the caller ID: An Yunxi?

It's already 3 a. m.; why is An Yunxi calling?

Qin Bore lay in the bathtub and answered the call.

"Boss, something happened……" came the serious, anxious voice of An Yunxi from the other end.

An Yunxi explained the whole matter of Lin Yuan being taken away.

"Oh? Lin Yuan was taken away?" Qin Bore lay in the bathtub, her beautiful eyes murmuring.

Lin Yuan probably never dreamed that the woman he had secretly loved, Qin Bore……

Actually, she was his true behind-the-scenes boss, the Goddess Phoenix!

"Boss, should we mobilize people to rescue Lin Yuan?" An Yunxi asked solemnly on the other end.

Qin Bore, however, held the phone and shook her head: "No need; since he could be taken away so calmly, it shows he should have confidence in handling it. Perfect—let me see his ability to resolve things. If he can't even handle this, his journey in the martial world ends here."

On the other end, An Yunxi replied, "I understand."

……

4 a. m.

Lin Yuan and the bar's staff were all taken to the Public Security Bureau for interrogation and investigation.

However, Lin Yuan was calm and unhurried, having prepared beforehand!

All of this was within his expectations.

In the evening, Hong Wenyan brought people to suddenly deliver flower baskets, which made Lin Yuan sense something was off.

So Lin Yuan had already taken precautions.

At this moment, Lin Yuan produced the evidence he had prepared earlier!

These pieces of evidence were the pinhole cameras he had installed in advance in the bar's warehouse!

Through these camera feeds, one could clearly see…… how Hong Wenyan's subordinates secretly sneaked into the Goddess Bar's warehouse and swapped the cigarettes and alcohol……

As it turned out, all of this was done by Hong Wenyan and those New Faction members!

Just earlier this evening, Hong Wenyan and the New Faction suddenly came to deliver flower baskets, merely as a cover!

Their true purpose was to buy time, then secretly send people to infiltrate the Goddess Bar's warehouse and swap the cigarettes and alcohol!

They deliberately swapped the expensive genuine cigarettes and alcohol in the Goddess Bar's warehouse for fake cigarettes and fake alcohol!

These people thought the switch went unnoticed.

But they didn't realize that from the moment they entered the bar's warehouse, their actions had already been recorded by the pinhole camera.

Fortunately, Lin Yuan had prepared in advance.

At this moment, the police, upon seeing the videos Lin Yuan provided, also turned grave.

This could involve charges of commercial defamation, as well as manufacturing fake cigarettes and fake alcohol.

At 4:30 a. m., Lin Yuan and the Goddess Bar's staff were released without charge.

Just as Lin Yuan walked out of the Public Security Bureau, a beautiful policewoman holding a stack of documents happened to rush past him.

The two accidentally bumped into each other, and the policewoman's documents fell to the ground.

"Sorry." Lin Yuan apologized, quickly squatting down to help the policewoman pick up her documents and hand them back to her.

Lin Yuan merely glanced at the beautiful policewoman, discovering she was very pretty, the kind of beauty you can't forget at first sight.

But Lin Yuan didn't dare to look longer; seeing the police, he was like a mouse seeing a cat, he didn't even have time to hide.

Lin Yuan left in a hurry.

The beautiful policewoman, Mu Linxue, glanced at the man suspiciously and asked her colleague beside her, "Who is this person?"

The colleague replied, "An employee of the Divine Phoenix Group, a key surveillance target."

Mu Linxue instantly understood; the key surveillance target was just the martial arts crowd.

However, the colleague added, "Although their Shockwave Group is large in scale, they are relatively honest, having committed no illegal acts these years; they're just listed under key attention."

Mu Linxue couldn't be bothered with these; she picked up the documents and continued upstairs.

Recently, there's also a major criminal case that needs investigation...

When Lin Yuan left the Public Security Bureau, it was already 5 a. m.

Lin Yuan and his colleagues went to KFC for breakfast, then returned to the Goddess Bar and tore off the seal.

The suspension and rectification of the Goddess Bar has been cancelled; the bar can operate normally tomorrow.

Lin Yuan reported his safety to An Yunxi and the Goddess Lin Yun'er.

Meanwhile, in the early morning, on the other side of Hangcheng...

The Bureau of Industry and Commerce, together with the Public Security Bureau's Commercial Crime Investigation Division, acted in unison, launching an investigation into all New Faction Groups!

That early morning was nothing short of a disaster for the New Faction Groups.

Taking advantage of the early morning, the Bureau of Industry and Commerce suddenly investigated the New Faction Groups' warehouses!

Because the evidence chain of the counterfeit cigarettes and alcohol from the Goddess Bar's warehouse all pointed to these New Faction Groups!

All New Faction Groups in Hangcheng were investigated overnight!

Throughout the early morning, the New Faction Groups were almost done in.

This time they tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice, almost getting themselves dragged in!

All morning, the Bureau of Industry and Commerce conducted an overnight investigation into their groups' counterfeit alcohol business...

K Group, Chi Dao Group, White Gold Han Group... these groups were all affected!

In the end, they could only find someone to take the blame under a false name, thereby clearing the suspicion of counterfeit alcohol and cigarettes...

But these New Faction Groups also suffered heavy losses!!

The grudge between the New Faction and Lin Yuan has been firmly established, growing deeper!!

Ten o'clock in the morning.

Qin Bore sat in her office, listening to her subordinate's report, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowing.

Lin Yuan's move was indeed clever.

"Heh, this guy actually has some ability; he's not just a plain stinky frog." Qin Bore lightly pursed her red lips, raising a slight arc.

Finally, she added in a low voice, "No wonder I chose you."

Ten o'clock in the morning.

After handling matters in the Goddess Bar, Lin Yuan felt a bit hungry again.

Today is Sunday, so he happened to be off work as well.

At the Su Group, Lin Yuan works five days a week with weekends off.

So both weekend days are his days off.

Since Lin Yuan didn't need to go to work during the day, he simply rode his bicycle to Xu Nainai's breakfast stall, intending to have another breakfast.

But when Lin Yuan rode his bicycle to Grandma Xu's breakfast stall, his eyes narrowed!

At this time, ten o'clock in the morning, Grandma Xu's breakfast stall was still booming.

What surprised Lin Yuan was that, at the breakfast stall, a stunning figure sat in a chair, having ordered a bowl of wontons and was quietly eating them alone.

Her hair was pulled up; as she lowered her eyes to eat the wontons, her long lashes cast a faint shadow, and her pursed-lip, spoon-in-mouth look had a touch of cute innocence.

That woman was none other than Hong Wenyan!

And placed on the table before her was a cold, black leather sheath.

Upon seeing that sheath, Lin Yuan's pupils contracted instantly.

He recognized what was inside the sheath.

Looking at the sheath's outline and shape, it was probably... a gun!
