Chapter 257: Hidden weapons are faster than guns!

Lin Yuan's hairs all stood on end instantly.

Why is Hong Wenyan at the breakfast stall again?

And she's even holding a handgun?!

Just this morning, Hong Wenyan's K Group had just been investigated by the Commerce and Industry Bureau! Could she be here for revenge?

Lin Yuan stood where he was, his face grim, not daring to move.

"Xiao Lin, what are you standing there for? Your girlfriend's been here a while, waiting for you." Xu Nainai suddenly spoke.

Xu Nainai called for Lin Yuan to sit.

"Sit." Hong Wenyan also had a grim expression and greeted Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan could only brace himself and slowly walk to the table in front of Hong Wenyan, then sit down.

"What a coincidence, you're also here for breakfast?" Lin Yuan said with an embarrassed smile.

At this moment, Lin Yuan felt a bit guilty.

Because he reported the K Group this morning, causing the K Group and other New Faction Groups to be investigated… This probably caused the K Group considerable losses!

"How unfortunate, I've been waiting especially for you." Hong Wenyan said with cold eyes.

Lin Yuan: "……"

"Lin Yuan, I really underestimated you. Getting the Commerce and Industry Bureau to investigate us? You really don't know how to write the word 'death'?" Hong Wenyan said coldly.

Lin Yuan gave a dry cough and replied, "It's not my fault; who let you frame me first? Last night you sent people to deliver flower baskets, but you deliberately placed fake cigarettes and alcohol in my bar's warehouse—did you really think I wouldn't notice? That's just you reaping what you sow."

By now things had come to this, so Lin Yuan simply went all in.

At worst, we'd completely break off relations.

Hong Wenyan's eyes were icy cold, staring straight at him.

At that moment, Xu Nainai just brought over two bowls of wonton soup.

"Xiao Lin, come eat the wonton soup; Yan girl ordered it for you." Xu Nainai said kindly.

Lin Yuan was taken aback?

This woman Hong Wenyan even ordered wonton soup for herself?

"Thank you, grandma." Lin Yuan thanked her, then took the wonton soup and started eating.

Hong Wenyan also started eating the wonton soup.

"Our score won't just be settled like this. I've come today as the representative of the New Faction Group Alliance to negotiate with you." Hong Wenyan said in an icy voice.

Lin Yuan was taken aback upon hearing that, "Negotiate with me? About what?"

Hong Wenyan's voice icy, she slowly said, "Your actions last night caused our New Faction Group Alliance losses of over several billion. But we're willing to let this grudge go. As long as you work for us, we can set aside our grievances."

"The New Faction Alliance is willing to spend heavily to hire you to work for us. Each alliance is willing to spend money to hire you together. Your income will start at eight figures."

Swish! Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan's heart jumped violently.

His income, starting at eight figures?

This? This!

This completely shocked Lin Yuan.

He never imagined in his life that he could ever earn so much money!

An annual salary of eight figures?!

What does that mean?!

That's a ten-million-level annual salary!

Such an annual salary is an income that ordinary people could never earn even after a lifetime of hard work!

And Lin Yuan would only need one year!

He couldn't help but admit that Lin Yuan at this moment really felt somewhat tempted.

"How about it?" Hong Wenyan gazed at Lin Yuan with deep eyes, waiting for his answer.

She knew Lin Yuan had no reason to refuse this condition.

An annual salary of ten million—no one could refuse.

But Lin Yuan shook his head and flatly refused, "Sorry, Miss Hong, I won't do anything illegal."

As soon as he said that, the air instantly turned icy!

Hong Wenyan's eyes narrowed, she stared fixedly at Lin Yuan.

"What if I say you'll die if you don't do it?" Hong Wenyan said coldly.

Lin Yuan coldly replied, "You've always wanted to kill me, haven't you? Life or death, I'm used to it. If you have the ability, then come kill me—I'll be waiting. But forcing me to do illegal and disorderly things is absolutely impossible. That's my bottom line."

"Good, very good." Hong Wenyan coldly smiled, her gorgeous red lips curling into a chilling arc of killing intent.

Hong Wenyan suddenly raised her right hand slowly, her hand gripping the black case on the table.

Lin Yuan's pupils contracted.

"Miss Hong, do you want to shoot? Before you fire, I advise you to think clearly—is your gun draw speed faster, or are the chopsticks in my hand faster?" Lin Yuan said coldly.

In the meantime, he had already picked up the chopsticks in his hand.

"Chopsticks? Hmph..." Hong Wenyan's voice dripped with mockery.

But just as her words fell, a sudden gust of wind shot past her ear!

Hong Wenyan's pupils suddenly contracted!

She hadn't even reacted yet when a chopstick flashed past her ear!

Hong Wenyan's pretty face turned pale, fine cold sweat beading on her forehead!

What swift technique!

She still hadn't reacted when Lin Yuan's chopstick whistled past at high speed!

This kind of hidden‑weapon technique can only be described as terrifying!

Hong Wenyan instinctively turned her head, glancing behind.

Only Lin Yuan's recently thrown chopstick had already pierced deep into a wall dozens of meters behind!

What brutal force!

A wooden chopstick could actually be driven into a wall over ten meters away, the whole stick buried deep!

Such force, such speed!

If just now Lin Yuan had aimed that chopstick at Hong Wenyan's throat…

The consequences are unthinkable!

Hong Wenyan didn't even dare to think further.

Before she could even draw her gun, her throat would be pierced by Lin Yuan's chopstick!

"Miss Hong, you don't know? When I single‑handedly stormed Changsheng Group, Chang Jinghe also had a gun." Lin Yuan idly twirled another chopstick in his hand, speaking lightly.

Although he didn't bring his silver needle, his hidden‑weapon technique is superb—he can turn any object into a hidden weapon.

Anything nearby—chopsticks, a bowl, even a small coin—can become his hidden weapon.

At this moment, Hong Wenyan's pretty face was deathly pale.

Indeed, facing Lin Yuan, this terrifying hidden‑weapon expert, especially at such close range, Hong Wenyan's chances of drawing her gun are slim.

Her draw speed is probably still slower than Lin Yuan's chopstick.

She can't afford to gamble.

Hong Wenyan slowly relaxed her right hand, then picked up her spoon and continued eating the wonton soup.

"I'm getting more curious about you all the time—you study Chinese medicine, yet you also know hidden weapons?" Hong Wenyan's eyes deepened, fixed on Lin Yuan.

This man truly has too many secrets.

Lin Yuan sneered, "All hidden weapons rely on speed alone. Hidden weapons and TCM acupuncture differ in method but share the same principle—knowing TCM acupuncture means you can wield hidden weapons."

Indeed, TCM acupuncture demands a fast, steady, accurate, ruthless hand.

Applying this silver‑needle technique to hidden weapons yields the same result.

Just as the two were eating wonton soup…

Suddenly a shout came from outside the breakfast stall.

Fuck your mother! You damned couple really are here!

Lin Yuan frowned and turned his head to look.

Behind them, two men with fierce expressions strode forward aggressively.

These two men are the city‑management temporary workers Lin Yuan violently beat a few days ago.

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Is it you two? Why aren't you wearing your city‑management uniforms? Were you fired?"

Upon hearing this, the two temporary city‑management workers exploded in anger.

Indeed, they were fired and thrown into detention for three days.

Damn it! All this is thanks to that bastard in front of us!

If Lin Yuan hadn't filmed their extortion of ordinary people, they wouldn't have been fired.

"You damned thing! You still dare to ask?!" Temporary city‑management worker Ding Keming roared, grabbed a nearby wooden chair and hurled it at Lin Yuan.

"Whoosh!" In the next second Lin Yuan shot a chopstick.

The chopstick struck Ding Keming's shoe.

"Ahh!" Ding Keming screamed, his body flung forward and he collapsed to the ground.

He clutched his foot, screaming in pain.

His accomplice Gao Datong's face darkened: "You're asking for death!"

Gao Datong roared, drew a dagger from his waist and lunged at Lin Yuan.

"Bang!" In the next second Lin Yuan raised his hand and a plastic spoon shot out.

"Pfft!" The plastic spoon struck Gao Datong's cheek, making him scream and collapse.

This move not only taught the two city‑management workers a lesson, but also gave Hong Wenyan a show of force.

Seeing Lin Yuan's lightning‑fast hidden‑weapon move…

Hong Wenyan's eyes narrowed—she was truly astonished.

This bastard's hidden‑weapon technique is incredibly fast and terrifying!

Hong Wenyan hadn't even reacted when the two temporary city‑management workers were already down on the ground.

"You damned couple… fuck! I won't let you off today! If you've got guts, don't run!! I'll kill you!!" Ding Keming shouted.

Ding Keming said, pulling out his phone and started calling for help.

"Hey! Brother‑in‑law! It's me, Xiao Ding! I'm at the breakfast stall outside Caihe Xiaoqu, being bullied! Brother‑in‑law, you gotta help me vent!!" Ding Keming shouted into the phone for reinforcements.

On the other end, the brother‑in‑law heard it and instantly flew into a rage: "What?! Someone dares to bully you? Fuck! Xiao Ding, wait—I'll summon my brothers right away!!
