Chapter 516: The Foolish Old Man Moves the Mountain!

Inside the single-occupancy apartment.

Sun Licheng was still pounding on the door.

But inside the room, there was no response at all!

Gradually, Sun Licheng's pupils suddenly constricted!

Because, he heard from inside the room……

Sun Licheng broke down!

He could only frantically bang on the door!

But the door of Lin Yuan's apartment was really too sturdy.

No matter how Sun Licheng pounded the door, he just couldn't open it, ah! ~

……

In the bedroom, Sun Weiwei supported Lin Yuan as he sat on the edge of the bed.

The man's scorching body almost melted her.

Lin Yuan gritted his teeth hard, fists pressed against his knees, knuckles whitening, even his nails digging into his palms.

He forced himself to stay awake this way: 'You go out…… it's still not too late.'

Lin Yuan's voice was hoarse and broken, each word seeming to be squeezed out of his throat.

Sun Weiwei watched the scarlet and struggle in the depths of his eyes……

Sun Weiwei again thought of the warning on Baidu about 'blood vessels bursting.'

Her hesitation in her heart was instantly replaced by resolve.

Sun Weiwei raised her hand, gently touching Lin Yuan's sweat-damp cheek; the coolness of her fingertips made his whole body shudder.

'Lin Yuan,' her voice choked with tears yet unusually firm, 'you're like this because you wanted to save me; I can't ignore you.'

Before Lin Yuan could say anything else, Sun Weiwei took a deep breath……

'Relax…' Sun Weiwei whispered softly, as if soothing an out-of-control trapped beast, 'I'm willing.'

……

Outside the bedroom door, Sun Licheng heard his daughter detoxifying Lin Yuan, and he completely broke down.

Inside the bedroom, every sound…… felt like a heavy hammer striking Sun Licheng's heart.

'Weiwei! Are you crazy?! You're still a young lady! How could you suffer such a loss?!' Sun Licheng shouted!

But Sun Weiwei didn't respond at all.

After another several minutes, a light 'click~' came from the lock on the door.

The latched door was opened.

Sun Licheng abruptly lifted his head, bloodshot eyes fixed on the door.

The door slowly pulled open.

His daughter Sun Weiwei walked out first.

She was wrapped in Lin Yuan's oversized black shirt.

Before Sun Weiwei could speak……

Sun Licheng scrambled up from the floor, rushing into the kitchen as if gone mad!

Sun Licheng grabbed a kitchen knife from the cutting board and then rushed straight to the bedroom: 'Lin Yuan! I'm going to kill you, you beast!'

'Dad! Don't!' Sun Weiwei, quick-eyed and quick-handed, lunged forward stumbling!

She firmly grabbed Sun Licheng's arm, blocking him at the bedroom doorway.

At that moment, Lin Yuan was sitting up from the bed.

He wore only a pair of shorts, his bare chest lines smooth, the previously bleeding wound still covered with a gauze bandage Sun Weiwei had temporarily wrapped with cloth strips.

Lin Yuan's complexion had returned to normal, his eyes clear.

Lin Yuan saw Sun Licheng holding the knife, and simply rose calmly to his feet.

'Let go of me! Let me hack this traitor to death!' Sun Licheng struggled, the knife flashing cold in the light, 'Lin Yuan, you dog! You not only betrayed me, you ruined my daughter! Today I must make you pay with your life!'

Sun Weiwei clung to her father's arm with all her strength!

Sun Weiwei shouted hoarsely: 'Dad! Don't be impulsive! I've long been Lin Yuan's woman! This has nothing to do with him; it was my voluntary choice!'

'What did you say?!' Sun Licheng's motion abruptly halted, as if all his strength had been drained!

Sun Licheng looked at his daughter in disbelief: 'You…… you've already been with him? When did this happen?!'

Sun Weiwei nodded firmly, tears sliding down her cheeks!

Sun Weiwei straightened her back: 'Yes. From the moment Lin Yuan sought refuge with our company, I had already given myself to him. It was an accident, but I have no regrets…… he is my man.'

Boom~ At this moment, Sun Licheng practically collapsed.

'An accident? No regrets?' Sun Licheng, as if hearing a huge joke, violently shook off Sun Weiwei's hand.

Sun Licheng retreated several steps, his eyes bloodshot.

Sun Licheng suddenly pointed at Lin Yuan's nose, trembling with rage, shouting: 'Weiwei, are you stupid?! He's a traitor! A wolf in sheep's clothing! How can you be with someone like this? Are you crazy?!'

'He is a traitor, but tonight he saved our father and daughter's lives!' Sun Weiwei wiped her tears, stepped in front of Lin Yuan, and looked at her father with determined eyes.

'If it weren't for him, we'd already have been killed by Qian Renhao! Dad, even if he's at fault, today's matter can't be blamed on him!'

'You still dare to speak for him?!' Sun Licheng, completely enraged, raised his hand and slapped Sun Weiwei!

'Pa!'

A crisp sound!

Sun Weiwei's cheek instantly swelled and reddened.

She covered her face, tears falling even harder, yet she still didn't move aside: 'Dad, I'm not wrong.'

Sun Licheng looked at his daughter's stubborn appearance, then glanced at the silent Lin Yuan beside her.

Sun Licheng's chest heaved with anger.

He grabbed Sun Weiwei's wrist and dragged her toward the door: "Come with me! From now on, you are not to have any contact with that dog traitor!"

Sun Weiwei stumbled as her father dragged her along……

She turned her head to look at Lin Yuan, her eyes full of complexity.

Lin Yuan stood in place, watching her flushed cheeks and the wrist reddened from being pulled, his brows tightly furrowed.

Lin Yuan was about to step forward……

Sun Weiwei, however, gently shook her head and mouthed to him: "Don't come over, I'm fine."

Lin Yuan could only stop.

The door slammed shut with a "bang!"

Completely cutting off Lin Yuan's sight of Sun Weiwei's figure.

The living room held only scattered silver needles on the floor, and the lingering mixed scent of the two in the air……

Lin Yuan gazed at the mess all over the floor and let out a long sigh.

……

The next morning, Lin Yuan changed into a neat suit.

The wound on his back had scabbed over thanks to the ointment, though moving his arm still sent a faint pulling pain.

Lin Yuan drove to the Su Group.

As it turned out, neither Sun Licheng nor his daughter came to the company today?

Both had taken leave?

Lin Yuan shook his head, didn't think much of it, returned to the office, and kept working.

But today, the Su Group was far from calm.

Morning.

The Qian Shi Group suddenly launched a large-scale retaliatory strike.

All morning, the Su Group suffered financial suppression by the Qian Shi Group in the A-share market.

All morning, the Su Group's stock was maliciously shorted, plunging repeatedly.

In just one morning, the group's shares had already plummeted by several hundred million.

This left everyone in the group panicked.

At noon, Lin Yuan finished lunch at the cafeteria and was about to head back to the office for a brief rest.

As it happened, Su Monong's internal call came through.

Su Monong's voice was full of suppressed anger: "Lin Yuan, come to my office."

Hearing that, Lin Yuan was startled and went straight to the Chairman's office.

……

Pushing open the Chief Executive Officer's office door, Lin Yuan saw Su Monong standing by the floor-to-ceiling window.

She wore a black professional outfit, yet it only made her complexion look even paler.

Su Monong was just gripping a stock chart, her knuckles whitening from the force.

Sunlight fell on her from outside the window, but it could not warm the chill in her eyes.

"Qian Renhao has gone mad." Su Monong turned, slamming the chart onto the desk: "He mobilized all available funds, teamed up with three private equity firms, and specifically targeted the Su Group's stock—within a single morning, market value evaporated by 500 million."

Lin Yuan picked up the chart, his eyes swiftly scanning the violently fluctuating curve.

Lin Yuan knew this was surely Qian Renhao's retaliation from last night.

Lin Yuan dared not conceal it, telling Su Monong about rescuing Sun Weiwei the previous night.

Upon hearing this, Su Monong finally understood.

"So last night he wanted to gang‑rape Sun Weiwei? You saved her? He even broke a leg? No wonder he's gone berserk today, seeking revenge on my group!" Su Monong clenched her teeth, voice icy.

"Sorry, Director Su—this happened because of me." Lin Yuan nodded in apology.

Su Monong gave Lin Yuan a resentful glance.

"What good is just apologizing? My breasts ache from anger now—you must compensate me!" Su Monong's stunning chest rose and fell.

"Huh?" Lin Yuan was startled by the words.

He hadn't yet reacted.
