Chapter 482: A Ten Million Check!

In the office, Lin Yuan was forced...

No, perhaps for him, this is more like a reward, and an enjoyment.

After all, a top-tier beautiful young woman like Su Monong isn't something just anyone can enjoy.

This kind of 'enjoyment' is something only Lin Yuan is qualified for.

Because Su Monong is his woman.

By the office's floor-to-ceiling window, gradually, a thin layer of mist formed.

It was because the temperature and humidity in the office were too high.

After over two hours.

Only at noon was the chairman's office door opened.

Lin Yuan walked out of Director Su's office, disheveled.

As Lin Yuan left the office, his legs felt a bit wobbly.

Meanwhile, Su Monong lay on the office chair, her body gone limp, unable even to stand.

In this encounter, Lin Yuan won.

Su Monong lost miserably.

In the evening.

In the office area of the Su Group building, the daytime clamor gradually faded.

Lin Yuan sat in the office, tidied up the project files on his desk, and was about to get up and leave.

His phone suddenly popped up a WeChat message.

Lin Yuan pulled it out, puzzled, and saw it was a WeChat message from the Goddess Boss, Lin Yun'er.

【Manager Lin, are you free tonight? Let's have a meal together.】 Lin Yun'er's WeChat message came with a location attached: a private club called 【Xi Hu Small Courtyard】 in the suburbs.

Lin Yuan looked at the message…… fell into brief thought.

The Goddess Boss's invitation, Lin Yuan dared not refuse.

Lin Yuan replied: 'Okay, Boss.'

After Lin Yuan went downstairs, Su Monong happened to be walking toward the Mercedes-Benz in her high heels.

Lin Yuan stepped forward and explained, 'Director Su, I have a sudden dinner engagement; I'd like to take leave, so I can't send you home tonight.'

Su Monong raised her brows at his words: 'A dinner? Is it with the opposite sex or the same sex?'

Lin Yuan blinked: 'What's the difference?'

Su Monong lightly said, 'If it's a dinner date with the opposite sex, I approve; if it's with the same sex, I do not.'

Lin Yuan: '...'

'Um, it's with a woman, female.' Lin Yuan explained.

A fleeting, hardly noticeable smile flickered in Su Monong's eyes; she immediately nodded and agreed: 'Fine, leave granted. Keep safe, contact me anytime if anything comes up. Oh right, I've had the Mercedes readied for you—go on your date, remember to tidy up a bit and wear something clean.'

Having said that, Su Monong walked straight to her daughter's Ferrari.

Su Monong wished Lin Yuan had as many women as possible.

Now that other women are actively inviting Lin Yuan, perhaps… this could finally let his daughter Su Zhiyuan completely let go of her feelings.

Lin Yuan froze for a moment, but didn't think much of it.

He got into the Mercedes and drove out of the garage……

Half an hour later, Lin Yuan drove into the Xi Hu Small Courtyard.

This private club is hidden deep in a bamboo grove, its blue-brick, dark-tile architecture exuding the elegance of Jiangnan's water towns.

After verifying the information, the attendant at the door respectfully led him to the reserved private room.

The moment he pushed open the private room door, Lin Yuan couldn't help but stare.

The Goddess Boss, Lin Yun'er, was seated by the window,

She wore a tailored gray OL uniform suit, the waist-cut design outlining her slender figure.

The skirt length was just right, revealing a pair of fair, long legs.

Lin Yun'er wore no heavy makeup, only a light touch of powder; her black hair was loosely tied back, with a few strands falling at her cheeks, making her skin look whiter than snow and her brows and eyes like a painting.

The Goddess Boss truly is stunningly beautiful, as if carved from jade.

But Lin Yuan didn't think much of it.

'Boss.' Lin Yuan greeted.

Hearing the movement, Lin Yun'er turned her head, the corners of her mouth lifting in a gentle smile.

Lin Yun'er stood up and said, 'Lin Yuan, you're here. Please sit; I've already ordered the dishes—I don't know if they suit your taste.'

Her voice was clear, sweet, and gentle, completely different from her usual cold aloofness.

In private, this Goddess Boss seems rather approachable?

Lin Yuan sat down opposite her, feeling inexplicably nervous.

Previously, all communications with Lin Yun'er were about bar business.

But dining alone together like tonight was a first.

You should know, this person before you is the helmsman of the Divine Phoenix Group.

A formidable society figure, the Goddess, the Phoenix God.

Lin Yuan felt some pressure.

He had just sat down when Lin Yun'er pushed the warm tea cup toward him.

Lin Yun'er said with concern: "Manager Lin, you've been busy nonstop over this bar raid; you've really worked hard."

Lin Yuan was startled and flattered, saying repeatedly: "Uh, it's fine, I'm an employee of the Divine Phoenix Group; I'm just doing my job normally."

Soon, the waiter brought the dishes to the table.

The Longjing shrimp were fresh and tender, the West Lake vinegar fish was sweet and sour in balance—both authentic Hangzhou cuisine.

During the meal, Lin Yun'er even proactively picked food for Lin Yuan.

This made Lin Yuan feel even more surprised.

While picking food for Lin Yuan, Lin Yun'er casually asked: "By the way, Manager Lin, you're also in your early thirties, right? Do you have anyone suitable around you?"

Uh? Upon hearing that, Lin Yuan was a bit dazed.

Lin Yuan paused his grip on the chopsticks, then answered honestly: "Not yet; my focus is all on work."

"Oh, that's how it is." Lin Yun'er smiled, poured herself and Lin Yuan each a glass of red wine from the table, saying, "Come, let's toast to your contribution."

They clinked glasses; Lin Yuan took a sip, and the rich aroma spread across his tongue.

Just then, Lin Yuan suddenly felt a faint cool touch on his leg.

Lin Yuan startled; he lowered his gaze… and instantly shuddered in fright.

Only saw Lin Yun'er lift the foot she had placed under the table slightly.

The tip of her silver high heel lightly brushed against his pant leg.

Damn? What's going on??" Lin Yuan's heart tightened, and he was about to speak…

Then Lin Yun'er took another sip of her wine, her cheeks flushing faintly—clearly a bit drunk.

"Manager Lin…" she set down her wine cup, her beautiful eyes blinking slightly as she gazed at Lin Yuan, watery…

Lin Yun'er's tone, lazy from the drink: "If I say I'll give you a chance to move up, would you want it?"

"What opportunity?" Lin Yuan was completely stunned, instinctively asking.

Lin Yun'er leaned forward slightly, her fingertip tracing her own lip.

She lowered her voice a bit, laced with a hint of allure: "You… be my little lover; from now on, I'll look after you—whether it's about the bar or your development in the Su Group, I can help."

"No way." Lin Yuan jumped up as if scalded, hastily shaking his head: "Miss Lin, you're drunk; I'll take you home."

"Hahaha…" Lin Yun'er suddenly burst out laughing, breathtakingly beautiful: "Look how you got scared—just now, I was deliberately testing you."

She picked up a napkin, wiped the corner of her mouth, her gaze regaining some clarity: "You kid aren't bad; you didn't take the bait. If you'd really agreed, I wouldn't let you off easy."

At that moment, Lin Yuan had already broken out in a cold sweat from fright.

This Lin Yun'er really…

She tests people for no reason?

Such a female boss is too dangerous.

Lin Yuan exhaled in relief; as he sat back down, sweat seeped from his back.

Lin Yun'er then put away her joking demeanor and said seriously: "To be honest, I called you to discuss the bar situation. After this raid, I think we need to strengthen security measures, and I suspect this report wasn't accidental—maybe someone is deliberately targeting us behind the scenes."

The two talked at length about the bar's future operations…

As the meal was winding down, Lin Yun'er suddenly clutched her forehead and swayed.

Her face flushed even more: "Oh dear, why is this alcohol hitting me now… my head feels dizzy."

As she spoke, she started to lean sideways; Lin Yuan instinctively reached out to steady her arm.

"Manager Lin, my place is nearby—could you trouble me to take you home?" Lin Yun'er leaned against his shoulder, her voice soft from the drink.

Lin Yuan didn't think twice, carefully helping her up: "No problem, I'll take you."

Half-supporting, half-carrying Lin Yun'er out of the Xi Hu cottage in the rain, he seated her in the passenger seat of her Mercedes, then took the driver's seat himself.

The car had just driven not far from the club's parking lot…

Up ahead in the darkness, two black vans suddenly rushed out!

"Screech!"—a sudden brake squeal!

The two vans lay across the road… forcing the Mercedes to stop.

Lin Yuan slammed on the brakes.

He hadn't even reacted yet…

From those two vans, a sea of thugs suddenly poured out!

This gang of thugs rushed straight to the front of the Mercedes!

Next, the Mercedes's door was violently yanked open!

A crowd of black-clad knife-wielding assassins surged forward, aiming straight for Lin Yun'er in the passenger seat!

The thugs shouted, "The Phoenix God is in the car! Hurry! Grab her alive!"

"Watch out!" Lin Yuan reacted instantly, shoving Lin Yun'er toward the inside of the seat!

At the same time, Lin Yuan flung open the car door and lunged forward.

The lead assassin swung a blade down!

Lin Yuan sidestepped to avoid it…

He grabbed the attacker's wrist with a reverse grip and twisted hard!

With a crisp "crack," the assassin's knife fell to the ground, his wrist completely dislocated.

"Manager Lin!" Lin Yun'er cried out as Lin Yuan already tangled with the thugs.

Lin Yuan's moves were swift and fierce, each strike aimed at vital points.

In just a few seconds… three of the thugs had their arms dislocated by him, screaming as they collapsed.

"Kid, be smart and step aside!" a lead thug retreated to a safe distance, pulled out a check from his pocket and waved it: "This is a ten-million check; as long as you hand over the Phoenix God, the money is yours! Follow our big boss and you'll surely get your share!"

"Get lost." Lin Yuan coldly spat out a word.

He stepped in front of the assassins, using his body to block the assassin.

"If you won't drink the toast, you'll drink the penalty!" the lead assassin shouted angrily, "Come on!"

Instantly, a group of assassins surged forward again!
