Chapter 292: So embarrassing!

Lin Yuan was eating when he suddenly noticed Hong Wuquan secretly filming him.

Lin Yuan guessed what Hong Wuquan was up to. He raised his hand, and a scallop shell shot forward!

"Bang!" The scallop shell directly hit Hong Wuquan's phone, knocking it down and shattering the screen.

"Lin Yuan, you bastard, looking for death!" Hong Wuquan shouted and jumped to his feet.

Lin Yuan continued eating, gave Hong Wuquan a cold glance, and said, "Just eat your meal, stop secretly filming with your phone—you're violating my portrait rights."

"You damn..." Hong Wuquan flared up, about to curse, when his sister Hong Wenyan suddenly stood up and slapped him across the face.

"Slap...!" Hong Wenyan's slap landed solidly on Hong Wuquan's face.

Hong Wuquan felt a bit dazed from the blow.

Bai Lu was also dazed.

At the dining table, their partner Yu Lei also seemed a bit dazed.

"Sis, why did you hit me?!" Hong Wuquan shouted, covering his cheek.

"Sit down and eat properly!" Hong Wenyan snapped coldly.

"But... but he smashed my phone screen..." Hong Wuquan gritted his teeth, unwilling to let it go.

"Forget it. Be lenient where you can; don't stoop to his level. I dated him for three years—we had feelings, and he almost became your brother-in-law. Let this go." Hong Wenyan said icily.

Lin Yuan had been listening without issue, but hearing the latter half, he felt increasingly uneasy.

Damn it!

What nonsense is this crazy woman spouting?!

Then Lin Yuan went completely dazed, shouting, "No! Hong Wenyan, can't you stop spouting nonsense? When did I ever date you? Don't slander me with bloody lies!"

Lin Yuan hurried to explain!

No way—he wasn't going to take the blame for that!

Although he had no feelings for Bai Lu either, he couldn't admit to taking the blame for that!

He and Hong Wenyan had definitely never dated!

This misunderstanding must be cleared up!

Otherwise, if this gets out, will Lin Yuan still be able to face people?

"We dated three years, huh... You forgot everything? How I treated you back then? You forgot? Huh, three years of feelings—just fed to the dogs." Hong Wenyan's beautiful eyes grew dim as she slowly shook her head and sighed.

Besides, this woman... she's acting pretty convincingly.

She just wants to see Lin Yuan lose face in front of his blind date.

That feeling—nothing could be more satisfying.

Lin Yuan had made Hong Wenyan eat humble pie many times before; this time... she could finally get her revenge!

"Sis... he..." Hong Wuquan wanted to say more, but saw his sister suddenly give him a meaningful look.

Hong Wuquan instantly understood.

His older sister was signaling him to play along.

So Hong Wuquan also snapped coldly, "Lin Yuan! Back then I at least sincerely regarded you as a prospective brother-in-law! My sister treated you so well, wholeheartedly! But you! You scumbag, lowlife! You not only cheated, kept two boats, and hurt my sister so badly! Now that we've broken up, you still refuse to acknowledge our relationship? You're hardly human! You worthless trash!" Hong Wuquan shouted without restraint.

The sister‑brother duo teaming up like this was absolutely perfect!

Lin Yuan was left speechless!

Today he finally grasped just how terrifying Hong Wenyan could be.

This woman really will do anything!

Bai Lu widened her beautiful eyes, staring dumbfounded at the scene...

At first she didn't believe Hong Wenyan's words.

But now she actually found herself somewhat believing it.

That girl named Hong Wenyan... could she really have dated Lin Yuan??

Otherwise, why would she say it so convincingly??

Feelings aren't something you can just spout off about, are they?

Lin Yuan was rendered speechless by the sister‑brother pair.

It looked like Lin Yuan was about to explode.

Lin Yuan even twisted his wrists, pulling two Silver Needles from his sleeves.

He intended to use the Silver Needles to seal Hong Wenyan and her brother's mouths.

Seeing Lin Yuan about to act, Hong Wenyan's eyes flashed and she told her brother, "Wuquan! Forget it—no need to waste words on this scumbag! A heartless bastard, huh! He's doomed to a bad end!"

Saying that, Hong Wenyan took her brother and that young man straight upstairs.

As Yu Lei went upstairs, his deep gaze swept over Lin Yuan and Bai Lu.

His eyes lingered on Bai Lu a few seconds longer.

After all, Bai Lu was too beautiful—even Yu Lei, the Young Master of the gray‑market, was drawn to her.

Lin Yuan was seething with repressed anger, feeling utterly stifled.

"Your ex‑girlfriend really has a nasty temper," Bai Lu blinked her beautiful eyes, speaking somewhat complexly.

"I've told you she's not my ex‑girlfriend—honestly, I'm not lying; she's just trying to frame me," Lin Yuan explained helplessly.

"Um, okay, I believe you," Bai Lu said, lightly biting her teeth.

This meal was incredibly stifling.

After finishing the meal, Bai Lu was about to pay the bill, but Lin Yuan, thinking the restaurant was owned by Hong Wenyan, didn't want to pay.

"Hey, don't pay." Lin Yuan grabbed her.

"Huh?" Bai Lu looked at him, puzzled.

"Want to try a free meal?" Lin Yuan leaned close to her ear and whispered.

"Huh?? A free meal, that's not okay..." Bai Lu shook her head.

"Don't be scared, today I'll take you to try it!" Lin Yuan said, grabbing Bai Lu's hand, and the two rushed out of the restaurant.

Inside the restaurant, several waitstaff were preparing to come over for the bill, but seeing this scene, they were all dazed??

"Hey! You two! You haven't paid yet!!" The restaurant staff reacted and shouted loudly.

The restaurant manager was also dazed—this is a restaurant under the K Group; who dares to dine and dash at a K Group establishment?

This is basically asking for death?

My grandmother's place has been open this long, and she's never encountered anyone daring to dine and dash here!

"Contact the Eldest Miss! Just say someone dined and dashed!" the restaurant manager barked.

……

At that moment on the second floor, Hong Wenyan was eating with her business partner, Yu Lei, continuing to discuss cooperation intentions.

Then a subordinate rushed forward and reported, "Miss, someone dined and dashed downstairs! They ran off without paying!"

"Oh? Who?" Hong Wenyan frowned and asked coldly.

Today she was at the restaurant, and yet she still ran into someone dining and dashing?

This is not putting her K Group in her eyes at all.

The subordinate replied, "It's, it's exactly the man you just said was your ex-boyfriend…… he brought his female companion and dashed without paying……"

Hong Wenyan's beautiful eyes were a bit dazed: "……???"

That guy Lin Yuan actually dared to dine and dash?

He is none other than the priest of the Goddess Bar, now the general manager of Goddess Bar Branch Two.

This guy actually still dined and dashed.

"Damn!" Hong Wenyan couldn't help but curse, "What are you standing there for? Send someone to chase them!"

Hong Wenyan scolded.

The subordinate reacted, rushed downstairs, leading a group of bodyguards charging out……

But by the time the bodyguards rushed out, Lin Yuan had already taken Bai Lu and vanished……

……

At that moment, Bai Lu and Lin Yuan hid in an empty alley.

Bai Lu was panting from exhaustion, her exquisite chest rising and falling continuously.

Sweat drenched her forehead.

This was her first time experiencing a dine-and-dash free meal.

For someone like her, a well-behaved girl, it was truly unprecedented.

"It's so exciting. What if they call the police?" Bai Lu asked.

"Don't worry, they won't call the police." Lin Yuan said with a cold smile.

"Come on, Hong Wenyan is mixed up in the Grey Industry Underworld—how could she possibly call the police?"

People like them from the underworld hate the police most. It's even less likely they'd call the police over a few hundred bucks for a dine and dash.

……

One hour later.

Lin Yuan and Bai Lu were summoned to the police station……

That woman Hong Wenyan actually called the police……

Lin Yuan was called directly by the police, telling him to go to the station to pay.

When Lin Yuan received the call, he was dazed.

Hong Wenyan actually would call the police?

He and Bai Lu arrived at the police station, where the officers gave them a stern lecture.

"You two! One is a company white-collar, the Chairman's assistant; the other is an elementary school art teacher! You two aren't short on money even though you're young—why must you eat this free meal? How much does a meal cost? Just over 500 bucks, and you still want to dine and dash?" The officer scolded coldly.

Lin Yuan and Bai Lu stood there—needless to say, it was extremely embarrassing.

Bai Lu's pretty face flushed red, she kept her head down, wishing she could bury her head in the ground.

Good heavens, it's utterly humiliating.

Bai Lu, having lived this long, has never done such an 'illegal' thing before……

It's also her first time entering a police station……

"Officer, we were wrong…… we'll pay now." Bai Lu said, blushing profusely.

She proactively took out the money and handed it to the officer.

The officer then handed that money to Hong Wenyan, who was sitting nearby.

At that moment, Hong Wenyan sat to the side with her legs crossed, her black hair falling over her shoulders, her pretty face icy as carved jade, exceedingly cold and alluring.

Her high heel lightly hooked onto her black-silk clad feet, her eyes playful and provocative.

While accepting the money from the officer, she thanked him, saying, "Thanks, officer—this time I really owe you; otherwise those two little thieves would have gotten away, and I wouldn't know where to catch them."

"It's a small matter; next time you encounter someone dining and dashing, call the police immediately." The officer said.

"Okay, I will definitely call the police right away from now on." Hong Wenyan's red lips curled into a slight arc.

Lin Yuan looked at her, his teeth itching with hatred.

That damned female demon.

After the case was settled, Lin Yuan and Bai Lu hurriedly walked out of the police station.

Staying here another moment feels utterly shameful.

Hong Wenyan coldly smiled with her red lips; tonight she finally got her revenge.

Hong Wenyan followed and walked out of the police station.

She said coldly, "Miss Bai Lu, I'll advise you again: stay away from scumbags like Lin Yuan; he'll really drag down your status."

Bai Lu bit her red lips with her ivory teeth, staying silent.

Lin Yuan said coldly, "Hong Wenyan, mind your own business! I remember what happened tonight; you'd better not fall into my hands!"

Hong Wenyan sneered, "How laughable, what can a deadbeat scumbag like you do against me? Truly laughable."

Lin Yuan couldn't be bothered with her anymore, he grabbed Bai Lu and took her away.

"Deadbeat scumbag, don't go. It's already ten at night; how about I, your ex-girlfriend, invite you for a late-night snack?" Hong Wenyan lightly pursed her red lips, provokingly said.

This is just like earlier this morning at the police station gate, when Lin Yuan provoked Hong Wenyan by asking her to have breakfast.

Tonight, Hong Wenyan actually said she would invite Lin Yuan to a late-night snack?

It's really full of provocation.

"Sure." Lin Yuan suddenly spoke up and agreed.

"Huh??" Bai Lu was a bit dazed; she pulled on Lin Yuan, gesturing for him not to agree.

"You're not embarrassed enough yet, big brother."

Lin Yuan however said, "Bai Lu, it's fine; I have a good relationship with Miss Hong. She's being so polite, wanting to treat us to a late-night snack, so let's go have a meal."
