Chapter 579: Su Monong in Danger!

The proposal to kidnap Su Monong made Qian Renhao's eyes light up.

Qian Renhao's previous fear was completely replaced by excitement.

Qian Renhao hurriedly stepped forward and said eagerly, "Young Master Lei is brilliant! As long as we capture Su Monong, Lin Yuan will surely be hesitant to act!"

……

That night, Qian Renhao dared not slack off in the slightest, accompanying Lei Chen Zhou the whole time in the bar's private room to plan the operation……

The two discussed the matter thoroughly for an entire night.

They clarified the division of labor: this operation would be led by the Thunder Tiger Gate, with the core being to strike at Lin Yuan's personal safety.

And the breakthrough point was precisely targeting Su Group's female CEO, Su Monong, whom Lin Yuan cared about most.

Using Su Monong as a hostage, they would coerce Lin Yuan into compliance.

"The urgent priority is to first ascertain Su Monong's residential location." Lei Chen Zhou tapped his fingertips on the table, his tone calm, "Her residence is likely the weakest link in security, suitable for a large-scale raid and capture."

Qian Renhao immediately responded, "Leave this to me! I have extensive connections in Hangcheng; tonight I can have people investigate and guarantee that before dawn we will know Su Monong's home address and surrounding security details inside out!"

The two then discussed in detail the personnel allocation for the raid, the route of action, the retreat plan, and even considered Lin Yuan's possible rescue response……

They devised multiple contingency plans.

After the planning was complete, the sky was already turning light.

Lei Chen Zhou finally hammered out the decision: "Just like this, we'll strike at midnight tomorrow night; we must capture Su Monong in one fell swoop!"

……

Early the next morning, the bustle of Hangcheng gradually awakened.

Lin Yuan arrived at Su Group for work on time.

He had just entered the office area when Su Monong's secretary stopped him: "Mr. Lin Yuan, General Manager Su requests your presence in her office."

Lin Yuan felt puzzled, yet he still hurried toward the top-floor CEO's office.

Pushing open the door, he saw Su Monong wearing a neat professional suit, seated behind her desk looking at documents.

Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto her, outlining her lovely figure.

"General Manager Su, you called for me?" Lin Yuan stepped forward and asked.

Su Monong set down the documents, lifted her gaze to Lin Yuan, her eyes showing an obvious smile.

She rose and walked to Lin Yuan's side, without hesitation reaching out to put her arms around his neck, planting a kiss on his cheek, her tone affectionate: "I have something to discuss with you."

The affectionate gesture made Lin Yuan's body tense slightly; before he could react, Su Monong had already pulled him to sit beside her on the sofa.

Su Monong said with a smile, "Your performance over the past few months has been excellent—whether handling the company's thorny affairs or previously helping the company resolve the difficulties caused by the Qian Shi Group, you have done outstandingly. The company is very satisfied with you, and as your older sister, I am also very satisfied."

She continued, picking up a document from the desk and handing it to Lin Yuan: "This is your raise notice; starting this month, your salary will increase to 25,000 per month. Keep up the good work, and the company will not treat you unfairly."

Lin Yuan took the document and saw the salary figure.

He felt a surge of joy, quickly standing to express his thanks: "Thank you, General Manager Su! I will definitely work harder from now on and not betray your trust!"

"Verbal thanks won't do." Su Monong also rose, her gaze lingering on Lin Yuan with a hint of allure, her tone teasing: "How will you show your gratitude with concrete actions?"

Before she finished speaking, Su Monong suddenly grabbed Lin Yuan's collar and pulled him hard toward her……

The distance between them instantly closed.

Lin Yuan could clearly smell the faint fragrance of her perfume.

Before Lin Yuan could speak, Su Monong gave a slight push……

Lin Yuan lost his balance and fell straight onto the wide office desk, the documents scattering to the floor.

Su Monong leaned forward, placing her hands on the desk on either side of Lin Yuan's body.

She looked down at him, her eyes full of a seductive smile: "This way of thanking, older sister is very satisfied……"

As her words faded, Su Monong lowered her head and kissed Lin Yuan's lips, her movement bold and passionate.

Lin Yuan, already stirred by her teasing, was completely overwhelmed by this sudden kiss……

Lin Yuan no longer resisted; he wrapped his arms around her waist in return, responding to her passion.

The atmosphere in the office instantly turned scorching……

The sound of clothing slipping off intertwined with the ambiguous……

Lin Yuan was completely under Su Monong's control……

He obediently handed over a large amount of grain tax, all turned over to the state treasury.

This entanglement lasted a full three hours.

When everything finally subsided…… it was already noon.

The noon sunlight…… streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows into the office, outlining the weary figures of the two.

Lin Yuan supported his sore body and slowly tidied his clothes.

His eyes were full of fatigue; each step he took felt especially weak.

The expended energy left Lin Yuan barely able to lift his hand.

He glanced lightly at Su Monong on the desk, then said softly, "General Manager Su, I'm leaving first."

Lin Yuan then staggered out of the office.

Su Monong, meanwhile, lay limp on the wide office desk……

Her hair clung in disarray to her sweaty cheeks, her breathing still somewhat rapid, she didn't even have the strength to sit up.

She kept her eyes slightly closed, her face retaining a flush of satisfaction.

She had obviously also exhausted her strength in this entanglement, able only to lie limp on the desk, unable to move for a moment.

……

In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun covered Hangcheng's streets.

After finishing her follow-up work, Su Monong had her secretary drive her home.

Returning to the standalone villa in the suburbs, the butler had already prepared a lavish dinner.

At the table where Su Monong and her daughter sat, mother and daughter chatted while eating.

A warm atmosphere flowed under the lighting.

After the meal, Su Zhiyuan cleared the table, exchanged a few words with her mother, then went back to her room to rest.

Su Monong watched her daughter's mature, independent figure, her eyes full of relief.

Lately, her daughter hadn't mentioned Lin Yuan at all.

That was a good thing.

This showed that the girl, Su Zhiyuan, had probably gradually forgotten Lin Yuan.

In the deep night, all was silent…

Only the occasional insect chirps outside the villa broke the tranquility.

Su Monong was sleeping soundly when a piercing alarm suddenly shattered the night.

The "woo… woo…" sound was sharp and urgent, instantly waking her from sleep.

Su Monong's heart tightened, and she instantly became fully awake.

Years of business experience let her calm down quickly.

She immediately got up, walked to the window, pulled aside a corner of the curtain, and saw that all the surveillance cameras on the villa's outer wall were emitting black smoke—obviously sabotaged.

In the darkness, several black silhouettes swiftly approached the villa's main building, moving with agility—clearly hostile.

"Oh no!" Su Monong muttered, without time to think, she turned and rushed to Su Zhiyuan's room next door.

She hurriedly opened the door, strode to the bedside, and shook her daughter's shoulders hard: "Zhi Yuan! Wake up! Wake up quick! Someone's broken in—we have to flee!"

Su Zhiyuan was jolted awake and instantly sat up.

Seeing her mother's anxious face, Su Zhiyuan immediately became fully alert, without a hint of panic.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Su Zhiyuan asked, her voice startled, unable to hide a hint of vigilance.

"No time to explain—listen and follow me!" Su Monong gripped her daughter's hand tightly and sprinted downstairs.

The alarm continued to blare in their ears…

The villa's lights flickered a few times…

Then they went completely dark, plunging into blackness save for the faint moonlight filtering through the windows.

Just as mother and daughter reached the first-floor lounge…

"Bang!"

A deafening boom!

The villa's main door was violently smashed open!

Several black silhouettes surged in, bearing a chill, with Lei Chen Zhou leading them.

Behind him followed a dozen or so elite disciples of the Thunder Tiger Gate, each wielding vicious weapons, eyes fierce.

"Well, look what we have—are you Su Monong? You're quite pretty." Lei Chen Zhou's voice carried a mocking chill, especially sharp in the dark.

Su Monong's expression shifted, and she immediately shielded Su Zhiyuan behind her.

Su Monong's eyes narrowed warily on Lei Chen Zhou and his men, her tone icy: "Who are you? What do you want?"

"Who we are doesn't matter; what matters is that the person we're after is you." Lei Chen Zhou stepped forward.

Lei Chen Zhou's gaze swept over Su Zhiyuan standing behind Su Monong.

Lei Chen Zhou curled the corner of his mouth into a sinister smile: "But it seems General Manager Su still has a little burden."

Hearing those two words "burden," Su Monong's heart leapt to her throat.

She knew she couldn't let her daughter fall into their hands.

She shoved Su Zhiyuan hard and shouted toward the villa's backyard: "Zhi Yuan! Go! Head to the garage, start the car, escape through the back door—don't look back!"

Su Zhiyuan staggered from her mother's push, stared at the fierce strangers before her, then at her mother's resolute eyes; her rims reddened instantly, but she forced back the tears.

"Mom! I'll take you with me!" she cried urgently, her voice full of worry.

"Listen! Hurry! I can handle this!" Su Monong shouted sternly.

As she spoke, Su Monong suddenly drew a handgun.

It was the pistol she normally kept hidden in the villa for self-defense.

Under her mother's reprimand, Su Zhiyuan could only run toward the garage…

Lei Chen Zhou and his men tried to flank them.

Lei Chen Zhou snorted coldly and ordered his nearby disciples: "Stop her! Don't let that little one get away!"

Several disciples immediately chased after Su Zhiyuan, while Lei Chen Zhou led the others to block Su Monong's path.

Su Monong suddenly fired, shooting at this gang of martial bandits!

Su Monong's gunfire halted the bandits' advance.

Those few seconds bought time for her daughter's escape.

Su Zhiyuan gritted her teeth, turned, and sprinted toward the garage.

Upon reaching the garage, she flung open the Ferrari's door without hesitation, buckled the seatbelt swiftly, and, though trembling, started the engine precisely.

At that moment, several Thunder Tiger Gate disciples had reached the garage entrance and lunged at the car.

Su Zhiyuan's eyes hardened, and she slammed the accelerator.

The Ferrari's engine roared, and the car shot forward like an arrow released from a bow.

The Ferrari's nose smashed into the disciples blocking the way, hurling them aside.

They screamed as they were flung away.

Su Zhiyuan seized the moment to steer the car toward the villa's back door…

The wheels rolled over the ground, leaving two clear tracks.

In the rearview mirror she saw her mother surrounded by the crowd; Su Zhiyuan's tears streamed down her face, blurring her view.

She dared not linger even a moment, desperately pressing the accelerator and fleeing into the distance.

Inside the villa, Su Monong's resistance was quickly overcome.

After all, she was merely an ordinary woman, no match for a disciple of the Thunder Tiger Sect.

Not long after, she was subdued, her hands bound behind her back.

Lei Chen Zhou walked slowly up to her and looked down at her from above.

Lei Chen Zhou pulled a small glass bottle from his pocket, filled with clear liquid.

"General Manager Su, why struggle so?" Lei Chen Zhou curled the corner of his mouth into a wicked smile, pulled the stopper, and a pungent odor instantly spread. "Come along quietly with us, lest you suffer."

Saying this, he pressed the glass bottle to Su Monong's nostrils, forcibly held her head, and made her inhale the drug inside.

Su Monong struggled desperately, trying to hold her breath, but to no avail.

Soon she felt dizzy and weak all over, her consciousness fading, until her vision went black, she completely lost consciousness and collapsed softly.

Lei Chen Zhou gestured to the disciple beside him: "Take her away, follow the plan."

A Thunder Tiger Sect disciple gazed at Su Monong's beautiful face and limp form, a flicker of greed flashing in his eyes.

The disciple stepped up to Lei Chen Zhou, wearing a lecherous smirk: "Young master, this woman is so beautiful, her figure is great; since she's already passed out, why not have some fun? It'll give the brothers a break."

"Slap!" A crisp, loud slap rang out suddenly!

That disciple was struck hard across the face by Lei Chen Zhou; his cheek instantly reddened and swollen, he staggered back a few steps, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

Lei Chen Zhou's gaze was icy and piercing, his tone thunderous with anger: "Impudent!"

He glared fixedly at that disciple, the chill about him almost freezing the air: "Lin Yuan hasn't been lured over yet; she's the bait to draw him in—who gave you permission to touch her?"

That disciple trembled with fear, quickly dropped to his knees, kowtowing and begging for mercy: "Young master, spare my life! Young master, spare my life! I was momentarily confused—I'll never dare again!"

Lei Chen Zhou let out a cold snort, his gaze sweeping over all the disciples, and warned sternly: "I'll say this up front—even if we want to move her, we must wait until after we capture Lin Yuan. This woman is an important hostage; no one may lay a finger on her."

"Yes! Subordinates obey!" all the disciples replied in unison, daring not to object in the slightest.

In everyone's eyes looking at Su Monong, only awe remained.

Lei Chen Zhou again signaled to the disciple beside him: "Take her away!"
