Chapter 483: Come for Me!

Lin Yuan's moves were as fast as lightning; in the blink of an eye, he knocked a group of assassins to the ground!

Lin Yuan seized the assassin leader's shoulder, drove his knee into the opponent's lower back, forcing the leader to kneel on the ground!

Lin Yuan interrogated, "Speak, who sent you?"

The assassin clenched his teeth, spat a mouthful of saliva on the ground: "Don't even think of getting a word out of me!"

Lin Yuan suddenly snapped the assassin leader's arm!

"Ahh!!" the assassin leader let out a savage, anguished howl!!

"Will you talk or not?!" Lin Yuan demanded coldly.

"If you've got the guts, kill me!" the assassin leader shouted angrily.

Lin Yuan's face turned cold; this assassin leader's mouth is still pretty tough?

Lin Yuan was about to increase the force……

Suddenly, from the distant night, came a sudden rush of car engine roars%……

Lin Yuan abruptly turned his head to look?

Only to see not far away, dozens of vans roaring and speeding over!

They were the assassins' accomplices rushing over!

No time for interrogation!

We must retreat first!

The Goddess Boss was ambushed at night; Lin Yuan must first get the boss to safety.

Lin Yuan made a quick decision, and with one move threw the leader assassin to the ground.

He quickly ran to the Mercedes-Benz car, opened the door and shouted, "Boss, hold on!"

Lin Yun'er sat in the passenger seat, gripping the handrail.

Lin Yuan slammed the accelerator; the Mercedes-Benz shot like an arrow from a bow, smashing through the roadside guardrail… and rushed out onto a side path…

Behind, van after van gave chase.

But Lin Yuan drove the Mercedes-Benz, accelerating and drifting all the way; soon he finally shook off the pursuing assassins' vans…

……

Along the way, Lin Yuan followed the address given by the Goddess Boss, Lin Yun'er… heading toward Qianjiang New City.

Twenty-odd minutes later.

The car finally stopped beneath a riverside luxury apartment building.

As Lin Yuan helped Lin Yun'er out of the car, he couldn't help but feel surprised…

The land here is incredibly valuable; what surprised him even more was that this apartment is only two streets away from Qin Bore's residence.

He recalled that Qin Bore's home was nearby in the river-view luxury residential area.

Is it really that close?

But Lin Yuan merely had a fleeting thought and didn't dwell on it.

"Boss, who were those who just tried to assassinate you? Do you know?" Lin Yuan asked.

Lin Yun'er made a complex expression and shook her head: "I'm not sure; I have too many enemies."

As she spoke, just as she stepped forward, Lin Yun'er suddenly hissed.

Her delicate body swayed.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yuan hurried to support her.

"I… my high heel seems to have twisted, my foot hurts badly." Lin Yun'er furrowed her beautiful eyes, voice trembling: "Manager Lin, could you trouble me again… to help me upstairs?"

Lin Yuan looked at her reddened eye corners and really couldn't refuse.

Lin Yuan could only nod in agreement.

He carefully supported Lin Yun'er, followed her into the elevator, and went straight to the top-floor grand flat.

The moment the door opened, a simple yet grand interior design style came into view.

Beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows lay a dazzling river view, revealing the owner's taste and strength.

This grand flat, price, at least tens of millions.

Lin Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

Having money is just great.

You can casually live in a luxurious grand flat worth over ten million.

Even if he worked hard his whole life, he could never afford a place like this.

After helping Lin Yun'er sit on the living-room sofa, Lin Yuan let out a breath of relief.

He turned to leave: "Phoenix God Boss, rest first; I won't disturb you."

"Wait." Lin Yun'er suddenly spoke, her voice tinged with post-drink languor: "Just now there were assassins outside; you leave me alone at home, I'm a bit scared. Besides, my foot is twisted, I can't even pour a cup of water conveniently."

She held the sofa armrest and slowly rose, deliberately swaying her body: "I'll go take a shower to clear my head; could you watch over me for a while? After I finish showering, you can leave."

Lin Yuan, helpless, could only sit on the single sofa in the living room.

However, Lin Yuan inwardly felt a bit suspicious.

This person is none other than the infamous Goddess Boss.

Does she ever get scared too?

But Lin Yuan didn't think much of it; the boss gave orders.

He too could only sit on the sofa and wait.

Not long after, the sound of water came from the bathroom direction…

Lin Yuan opened his phone, scrolling through Douyin.

Immediately after, Lin Yun'er's panicked voice came through: "Manager Lin, my clothes fell outside; could you bring them? They're at the foot of the bedroom bed."

This?

Lin Yuan felt helpless and could only get up to help fetch the clothes.

Lin Yuan walked to the bedroom door, just picked up the pajamas folded at the foot of the bed...... He walked out of the bedroom.

Just then, Lin Yun'er was wrapped in a large towel...... stepping out of the bathroom.

Her hair was wet and dripping water, and the edge of the towel slipped slightly without her noticing.

Lin Yun'er stood there looking at Lin Yuan, her eyes carrying deliberate charm: "Manager Lin, do you see... I'm different today from usual?"

Lin Yuan turned around in a panic, placed the pajamas on the rack by the door, and said solemnly: "Boss, you've had too much to drink. I've put your clothes here. I'll take my leave now; please rest well, and call me anytime if you need anything."

"You're just leaving like that?" Lin Yun'er stepped forward, voice probing: "Just now it was so dangerous, you were willing to risk your life for me—can't you stay a little longer? If you stay, I can give you half of the Goddess Bar's future shares."

Lin Yuan still didn't turn back, his tone firm: "Boss, I help you because you're the bar's manager and also my partner. But men and women should keep apart; it's inconvenient to be alone together late at night, so please conduct yourself properly."

Having said that, he walked straight to the door and gently closed it.

Only Lin Yun'er remained frozen in place, a flash of complex amusement crossing her stunning eyes......

Heh, this time she was truly subdued by Lin Yuan's self-control.

Only when the elevator's descent chime sounded outside did the complexity in Lin Yun'er's eyes fade away.

Lin Yun'er lifted a hand to smooth her wet hair and called out: "Miss, stop hiding—come out."

As soon as her words fell, the study door was pushed open, and Qin Bore walked out holding a cup of warm water.

She wore a neatly tailored silk nightgown, exuding elegance.

"Miss, I've passed my test on him."

Lin Yun'er said with a hint of pride: "This kid has strong willpower, and his loyalty is unquestionable—just now the assassin offered him ten million and he didn't budge. That said, the people I sent were too fragile; he dislocated their arms, so I'll need to comfort them properly later."

"Who let you conduct a private test?" Qin Bore handed her the water cup, frowning slightly: "I've already said Lin Yuan is trustworthy; there's no need for all this."

"I'm not just worrying—after all, he now holds multiple positions, is a consultant for the Su Group, and has joined the police task force." Lin Yun'er pursed her lips, about to take a sip, when Qin Bore reached out and tickled her waist.

"Acting on your own deserves punishment." Qin Bore's eyes held a smile, her hand not stopping.

Lin Yun'er, who hates being tickled, instantly laughed until she could barely breathe.

She slumped onto the sofa, begging repeatedly: "Miss, stop tickling, stop tickling! I was wrong, isn't that enough? Next time I'll definitely report to you first!"

Lin Yun'er, being tickled, even...... had an involuntary urination......

In the room, only the laughter and joy of the two stunning women remained.

The next day, Lin Yuan got up in a hurry and went to pick up Su Monong for work.

Along the way, Su Monong probed indirectly, asking how his date last night went and which girl it was.

Lin Yuan gave a vague reply, not daring to say too much.

After arriving at the company, Lin Yuan went to the office and began his day's work in the Wind Control Department.

Since becoming deputy director of the Wind Control Department, Lin Yuan's work has become increasingly busy.

Lin Yuan spent the whole day busy at work in the company.

In the afternoon, Lin Yuan suddenly received a call from Mu Lingxue.

Lin Yuan wondered why Mu Lingxue suddenly called him in the afternoon.

Lin Yuan answered the call doubtfully.

"Lin Yuan, come to the City Public Security Bureau right away; the 907 Task Force is holding an urgent meeting to discuss case progress." Mu Lingxue's voice came through the earpiece, carrying an unquestionable seriousness.

Hearing the call, Lin Yuan felt a bit surprised; he held the phone and replied, "But I'm still at work."

On the other end, Mu Lingxue said without room for refusal: "Is work more important, or solving the case?"

"Of course work is important—work pays the salary." Lin Yuan replied directly.

"If you dare not come, I'll send a police car right now to 'fetch' you—believe it or not?" Mu Lingxue threatened on the other end.

Lin Yuan: "......"

This woman really is overbearing and domineering.

"Alright, wait a moment, I'll take leave and then come out..." Lin Yuan hung up helplessly.

He could only go ask Su Monong for leave.

As for the excuse for leave, it was that the police belle Mu Lingxue wanted to go on a date with him.

Su Monong immediately approved upon hearing that leave reason.

In the afternoon, Lin Yuan took leave and left the company.

He drove straight to the City Public Security Bureau......

Half an hour later, Lin Yuan finally arrived inside the City Public Security Bureau.

He parked his car, and when he entered the meeting room, it was already full of people.

Huo Gang sat in the chief seat, being the task force's leader and overall person in charge;

Mu Lingxue sat beside him, as deputy leader, currently lowering her head to organize the case files;

Additionally, more than ten criminal detectives sat on both sides of the meeting room.

And on Huo Gang's other side sat a middle-aged man in uniform, his steady demeanor making him particularly noticeable.

He was none other than the Deputy Director of the City Public Security Bureau, Gu Tianming.

Moreover, Gu Tianming is also known among their circle as Mu Lingxue's suitor.

"Consultant Lin has arrived, please take a seat." Huo Gang saw Lin Yuan and gestured for him to sit in the empty spot.

After Lin Yuan sat down, everyone continued the meeting.

Huo Gang immediately turned on the projector, and the screen displayed portraits of the four Ancient Martial Arts Bandits.

Based on the current progress of the case, we have analyzed that after these four bandits committed successive crimes in Hangcheng, we have already locked down their appearance features.

Through big-data AI identification, their activity space in Hangcheng has been greatly compressed. Moreover, although our previous encirclement was unsuccessful, it also startled the snake, making it unlikely they dare to stay in Hangcheng; next they may move to other cities within the province, or even flee outside the province.

So my plan is to immediately contact the police forces of surrounding provinces and cities, share the bandits' information, jointly set up a dragnet, and strive to capture them during their transfer. Huo Gang said.

But as soon as Huo Gang finished speaking, Lin Yuan, sitting at the corner of the conference table, … shook his head.

No, they will definitely continue committing crimes within Hangcheng, and they are certainly still in Hangcheng now.

Lin Yuan's voice was not loud, yet it instantly silenced the entire conference room.

"What is the reason?" Mu Lingxue asked first, her brows slightly furrowed.

Although she had let Lin Yuan join the special task force, she still harbored some doubts about his judgment.

Gu Tianming also looked at Lin Yuan, his eyes carrying scrutiny.

"Because of their eyes." Lin Yuan said calmly, with certainty:

The last time I confronted them face to face and looked into their eyes, their pupils held no ordinary fear, only a ferocity like that of a beast. Their nature has been beast‑like, imbued with a beast's viciousness. Having suffered a setback in Hangcheng, someone with such a disposition will not let it go; instead, it will stir up their competitive spirit.

"Just based on the eyes?" Mu Lingxue obviously disagreed, "I don't think they would risk such a danger for stealing gold… continuing to commit crimes in Hangcheng is too risky; this reason doesn't hold."

I think they are not only after gold now; their staying in Hangcheng likely hides another purpose! Lin Yuan shook his head, recalling the previous assassination attempt.

Mu Lingxue's eyes narrowed, and she asked coldly, "What other purpose?"

Lin Yuan's gaze turned sharp, "From the last time… they sent assassins to kill me, I believe their target is not wealth but me."

"Are they trying to kill you for revenge?" Mu Lingxue was stunned.

Gu Tianming also sat up straight, obviously surprised by this conclusion.

Lin Yuan nodded slowly, his voice heavy:

I think it's not just revenge. They have spent such a great cost targeting me, even risking exposure of their whereabouts; more likely… they are coming for me personally.
