Chapter 612: I'm at least your brother-in-law!

Lin Yuan's heart jolted, and instinctively he tried to dodge by turning his head……

But You Nianchu was already prepared; she swiftly wrapped her arms around his neck.

You Nianchu's fingertips tightly gripped Lin Yuan's nape, locking their distance extremely close……

She gave Lin Yuan no room to dodge at all.

Lin Yuan's back wound throbbed faintly, his whole body stiff.

He dared not forcefully break free…… for fear of hurting her……

But Lin Yuan didn't know…… how to respond to this sudden intimacy.

Lin Yuan could only stiffen in place.

You Nianchu, really sweet.

From head to toe, fragrant and delicious……

Lin Yuan was subjected to her bewildering KISS……

Lin Yuan also tasted for the first time the milky sweetness of this pure maiden……

Although Lin Yuan was unwilling to admit it. d

But.

Really sweet.

……

Meanwhile, downstairs of Shidai Gongyu Lou……

Suddenly, a burst of car engine sound…… shattered the tranquility of the residential area.

Dozens of black BMW sedans came speeding.

The BMWs pulled up in neat formation and stopped.

The car doors opened simultaneously, and a group of subordinates clad in black combat attire, with solemn expressions, filed out.

The subordinates quickly lined up beside the cars, their aura icy and stern.

Next, a tall, imposing man with a menacing aura between his brows stepped out from the driver's seat.

This man was none other than You Nianchu's older brother, You Zilong.

The two bodyguards who had been waiting downstairs saw this and immediately hurried forward.

The two bowed deeply, their respect utmost: "Greetings, young master!"

You Zilong's gaze swept over the bodyguards; the anxiety and ruthlessness in his brows remained undiminished.

You Zilong asked in a low voice: "Where is my sister?"

When he received the news of his sister's kidnapping, he was handling affairs at the company.

You Zilong raced all the way by car, his heart suspended in midair.

At this moment, his mind was filled only with his sister's safety.

"Reporting, young master, the miss is upstairs, together with Mr. Lin." The bodyguard dared not conceal anything, answering truthfully.

The bodyguards also mentioned Lin Yuan in passing, but dared not elaborate on the specifics of their situation.

"Is my sister unharmed?" You Zilong asked.

The bodyguards nodded: "The miss is safe and uninjured. However, that Mr. Lin has been wounded."

You Zilong gave a slight nod, asked no further, and lifted his foot to walk toward the apartment building……

Several trusted subordinates followed closely behind.

You Zilong entered the elevator; the cramped space had an oppressively low pressure.

His fingertips pressed against the elevator wall, his face icy cold.

You Zilong ordered the subordinates beside him:

"This time my sister was kidnapped and injured; this matter absolutely cannot be left as is. No matter who the mastermind is, no matter which forces are involved, I want a thorough investigation to the end! Dig three feet deep to root them out—anyone who dares to touch my sister, You Zilong, I will have him torn to pieces!"

"Yes!" The subordinates replied in unison, daring not to be the slightest bit lax.

The elevator rose steadily, the hostility in the air growing a bit stronger.

The elevator arrived at the corresponding floor, and You Zilong stepped out first.

He headed toward Lin Yuan's apartment according to memory.

Just as he reached the door, You Zilong was about to knock when he noticed the door wasn't fully closed?

Only a thin gap remained, as if it had been casually pulled shut.

You Zilong startled, instinctively raised his hand and gave a light push; the door swung open slowly along the force.

"Nianchu, I've come to pick you up." You Zilong walked into the apartment and said.

But as You Zilong stepped into the apartment, the words on his lips froze.

You Zilong's whole person was dazed??

The scene inside the room…… hit his eyes without any obstruction……

You Zilong, what did he see??

He saw…… his dear sister You Nianchu, embracing a man's neck, their lips pressed together, their intimacy striking to the eye!

This, this is…… a KISS??

And that man was none other than Lin Yuan???

You Zilong's whole body instantly froze in place, his pupils contracting sharply@!

You Zilong's face…… the previously intense hostility…… was as if hit by a pause button, instantly replaced by utter shock.

He was completely dazed.

He never expected that, rushing here in frantic haste, he would not see his injured sister……

Instead, he ran into this scene……

The air, as if frozen……

An unprecedented awkwardness enveloped the three parties.

The apartment was utterly silent.

Lin Yuan was the first to notice the gaze at the doorway……

In his peripheral vision, he caught You Zilong's ashen face……

Lin Yuan's body went rigid?

How could You Zilong appear?

Lin Yuan was dazed, and instinctively wanted to push You Nianchu away……

You Nianchu also followed his gaze……

When she saw her older brother standing at the doorway, full of killing intent……

You Nianchu was so scared her heart tightened.

She frantically loosened her grip on Lin Yuan's neck……

You Nianchu panicked, stepping back half an inch, her cheeks instantly flushing crimson.

At this moment, You Nianchu was both shy and afraid, not daring to lift her head.

The two hastily separated.

Lin Yuan leaned on the sofa armrest, barely sitting upright.

His back wound tugged, causing a faint pain, but he had no attention to spare for it.

Lin Yuan hurried to explain, his tone awkward: "Young Master You, how did you come?"

Only then did You Zilong snap out of his shock.

You Zilong's breathing was ragged; the astonishment in his eyes was instantly replaced by overwhelming fury.

You Zilong strode forward, gritting his teeth as he roared: "How did I come? If I hadn't come, would you, beast, still be planning to keep bullying my sister?!"

Lin Yuan's heart lurched; he quickly waved his hands to deny: "No, Young Master You, this is a misunderstanding—please hear me out."

"A misunderstanding?" You Zilong reacted as if he'd heard the biggest joke, his anger turning into a bitter laugh.

You Zilong pointed at both of them, voice brimming with violence: "You fucking kissed my sister, and you still dare call it a misunderstanding?"

"Really not, let me explain……" Lin Yuan wanted to say more, but You Zilong brutally cut him off.

You Zilong glared at Lin Yuan, shouting furiously: "Lin Yuan, are you even human? My sister is still a college student, just turned eighteen! Fuck your mother! Are you still human? You beast, dare to bully my sister like this?!"

Rage clouded his mind…… You Zilong suddenly drew a gleaming saber from his waist.

You Zilong advanced on Lin Yuan, saber in hand.

You Zilong bellowed: "You dog, beast! I'll hack you to pieces today!"

Saying that, You Zilong swung the blade…… aiming to chop Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan twisted his body, relying on instinct to dodge sideways.

The saber came down hard on the sofa armrest behind him, wood chips flying everywhere.

Lin Yuan frowned, his voice weary as he urged: "You Zilong, calm down! I already said it's a misunderstanding…… Your sister initiated the kiss; I did nothing. I wanted to push her away, but she clung to me tightly—I couldn't break free."

"You still dare to make excuses!" You Zilong didn't believe him, his fury blazing even hotter.

You Zilong swung the saber again at Lin Yuan!

You Zilong swung the saber while cursing: "Today I will definitely kill you, you dog!"

The saber was about to cleave Lin Yuan's front……

You Nianchu lunged forward, spreading her arms to block Lin Yuan.

Her voice trembled with tears yet was unusually firm: "Brother! Calm down! Don't strike him! He saved me!"

You Zilong's blade halted an inch from You Nianchu's shoulder……

You Zilong stared at his sister blocking his path……

You Zilong burned with rage, yet dared not harm her, gritting his teeth as he growled: "He saved you—so what? Saving you doesn't give him license to bully you! This is just taking advantage of you, hooligan behavior!"

"No, brother, I was the one who kissed him!" You Nianchu shouted, neck stiff, eyes red.

She took all the blame upon herself, unwilling to let Lin Yuan bear the brunt again.

"What?" You Zilong staggered as if struck by lightning, his whole body freezing instantly.

You Zilong's grip on the saber loosened; he stared at his sister in utter disbelief: "What did you say? Say it again."

You Nianchu lowered her gaze, took a deep breath, bit her teeth, lifted her head, eyes filled with resolve and sincerity: "Brother…… I…… I like Lin Yuan."

"Clang……"

With a crisp sound, You Zilong could no longer hold the saber; it crashed heavily to the floor……

You Zilong stared blankly at his sister……

The fury and ferocity on You Zilong's face completely faded.

At this moment, You Zilong was left with nothing but utter shock and bewilderment……

He could scarcely believe his own ears.

After a long while, You Zilong finally came to his senses.

You Zilong pointed at Lin Yuan, then at You Nianchu……

You Zilong's tone…… brimmed with the frustration of wishing his sister would shape up.

"Sister, are you clueless? This Lin Yuan is just a good-for-nothing! Why would you like such a loser?! He's nothing more than a salaried manager working at the Goddess Bar! Aside from being decent at fighting, what else can he do? What can he offer you?"

You Nianchu met her brother's gaze, not backing down in the slightest.

You Nianchu spoke firmly, unyielding: "I don't care what talents he has or what he can give me. My life is his because he risked everything to save me—I simply like him. I, You Nianchu, will be his woman for the rest of my life!"

Just as that sentence finished, Lin Yuan and You Zilong almost spoke in unison……

His tone was full of refusal: "No way!"

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock and resistance……

Lin Yuan, hindered by his teacher-student status and his own situation, was unwilling to delay You Nianchu;

You Zilong, on the other hand, looked down on Lin Yuan from the bottom of his heart…… He

It was absolutely impossible for him to let his sister be with someone like that.

You Zilong stared at Lin Yuan, the anger on his face surging again.

You Zilong's tone was full of contempt and questioning: "You little brat, you're still pretty capable? On what grounds do you reject my sister? My sister's background, appearance—everything is top-notch, her conditions are so good, you dare to look down on her?"

Lin Yuan was momentarily dumbfounded, the surprise on his face impossible to hide??

Lin Yuan instinctively retorted: "No, do I need to report my refusal to you? Just now you weren't refusing me being with your sister? Now that I refuse, isn't that exactly what you want??"

You Zilong, however, replied unhappily: "Only my sister can reject you, you can't reject my sister! Otherwise, if this gets out, my sister's face won't be saved, will it?"

"Are you sick?" Lin Yuan couldn't help but curse!

"Who the hell are you calling sick?" You Zilong, stung by the retort, felt his anger flare up.

The emotions previously stirred up by his sister now erupted completely.

You Zilong rolled up his sleeves and rushed at Lin Yuan, raising his hand to slap him.

Lin Yuan had been on guard; despite his back injury not yet healed, his reaction remained swift.

Before You Zilong's hand could reach him, Lin Yuan suddenly lifted a leg, precisely kicking You Zilong in the abdomen.

You Zilong lost his balance, "Thud!"

"A sound!"

You Zilong fell heavily to the floor, pain making him grit his teeth, his face instantly flushing red.

"You dare to fight back?" You Zilong, both angry and in pain, struggled to get up.

You Zilong's eyes turned scarlet as he roared: "I'm You Nianchu's brother! Don't you see who I am? Dare to lay a hand on me?"

Lin Yuan glanced at him calmly, his tone calm: "Whoever you are, you started it. I was just defending myself."

You Zilong was completely enraged.

You Zilong, ignoring the intense pain in his abdomen, clenched his fists and lunged at Lin Yuan again.

Lin Yuan sidestepped, then followed up with a palm strike to his chest.

Lin Yuan controlled his force just right—he didn't go for a killing blow, but it was enough to send the man flying.

You Zilong staggered back a few steps, then slammed heavily into the wall with a muffled groan.

"Damn it!" You Zilong leaned against the wall, barely managing to stand……

You Zilong's chest felt waves of oppression!

You Zilong, however, still kept a tough mouth, pointing at Lin Yuan and spitting harsh words.

"I'm at least your half-brother-in-law! You dare to lay hands on your half-brother-in-law? Do you still want to be with my sister or not?!"
