Chapter 62: The Priest's Path

Seeing that this gang of thugs was about to cause trouble at the Su Group's entrance, Lin Yuan couldn't stand it.

He pushed the car door open and got out.

"I am Lin Yuan—what do you want with me!" Lin Yuan stepped forward and said.

The thugs' faces were cold and mocking as they surrounded him, saying, "Lin Yuan, you finally came out? Hah, we thought you'd been scared out of your wits and wouldn't dare come out."

At that moment, Su Monong also hurried out of the car, stepped forward and demanded, "Who are you? Who gave you permission to cause trouble at the Su Group's entrance?!"

The gang members said coldly, "We are from Changsheng Foreign Trade Group. Outsiders, step aside! Who dares to interfere in Changsheng Group's affairs?"

Swish! Upon hearing the words 'Changsheng Group,' Su Monong's pretty face changed abruptly.

Changsheng Group, while appearing to be a legitimate corporation on the surface, secretly also goes by another name… the Changsheng Association!

The Changsheng Association is a notorious gang in Hangcheng's Underground Jianghu, known for its vicious and brutal methods!

How did Lin Yuan end up provoking the Changsheng Association?

Su Monong's pretty face showed shock and worry.

"I am the Chairman of Su Group, Su Monong. Lin Yuan is my secretary. What do you want with him?" Su Monong stepped forward and said.

The thugs gazed at Su Monong with greedy eyes.

"You're Su Monong? Heh, you're as beautiful as a fox spirit. Playing with you must be fun, huh? Or do you want to meddle in Lin Yuan's affairs?" one thug said with a smirk.

"Slap!" Before the thug finished speaking, Lin Yuan raised his hand and slapped him!

Lin Yuan could tolerate verbal insults aimed at himself, but he could not tolerate Su Monong being insulted.

Su Monong also froze, not expecting Lin Yuan to suddenly strike.

That thug was slapped, and two of his front teeth were knocked out.

"Fuck your mother! You dare hit me?!" The thug covered his swollen, red cheek and snarled angrily.

"Shit! You're asking for death!" A group of thugs immediately drew their blades.

A cold light flashed.

The surrounding Su Group employees were frightened and kept retreating into the building.

They had never seen such a ferocious scene before.

These thugs actually all drew their blades—this is too terrifying.

Lin Yuan grabbed Su Monong and pulled her behind him.

"You want to fight? This place isn't convenient; shall we go elsewhere?" Lin Yuan said in an icy voice.

The thugs waved their blades in hand and said coldly, "Lin Yuan, rest assured, we didn't come today to fight you. We came to 'invite' you to Changsheng Group for a cup of tea. As long as you obediently get in the car, we guarantee we won't harm you."

Lin Yuan's expression hardened, 'Invite' him back for tea?

"What if I don't go?" Lin Yuan asked.

The thugs laughed, "If you don't go? Hah, then we'll have to ask our blades if they agree."

Saying that, the thugs waved their blades a few times.

These are all sharpened blades, extremely sharp.

Lin Yuan's expression suddenly changed.

These people intend to forcibly kidnap him today.

Just like a week ago, when they tried to abduct An Yunxi.

"Fine, I'll go with you!" Lin Yuan gritted his teeth and said.

At this point he had no choice; to prevent the thugs from causing trouble at the Su Group's entrance, Lin Yuan could only go with them.

Su Monong wanted to stop them, but it was already too late.

"Director Su, it's fine; I'll go with them for a trip. You go home first." Lin Yuan comforted her.

Having said that, Lin Yuan then got into the car with the thugs.

Several business vehicles sped away.

Seeing Lin Yuan being taken away, Su Monong's pretty face grew anxious; she hurriedly pulled out her phone and dialed the police.

……

Meanwhile, at that moment, on the street, several business vehicles were speeding along.

Lin Yuan sat inside the vehicle, with several thugs holding blades beside him staring at him.

"What are you bringing me back for?" Lin Yuan asked coldly.

"Kid, don't ask what you shouldn't. You'll find out when we get there." Several thugs in the car said coldly.

Lin Yuan glanced out the window and realized the car had already driven onto the overpass.

There were very few vehicles on this road.

Lin Yuan suddenly said, "What if I change my mind and don't want to go?"

The thugs in the car replied coldly, "Heh, that's not up to you. Once you're in this vehicle, your life is in our hands."

But just as that thug finished speaking, Lin Yuan suddenly raised his hand and struck with an elbow!

Lin Yuan's elbow joint slammed hard into that thug's jaw!

"Pfft!" The thug spat a mouthful of blood and was knocked straight to the ground.

His jaw was shattered, causing a concussion; the thug could never get up again!

"Fuck your mother! You're asking for death!" The other thugs in the car instantly changed expression, fiercely waving their blades and slashing at Lin Yuan.

"Crack!" Lin Yuan instantly grabbed a thug's arm and wrenched it forcefully!

That thug's arm was dislocated.

Inside the car, 'crack! crack!' a series of joint-cracking sounds swept through!

A few minutes later, the business vehicle came to a stop.

All four thugs inside the car were beaten down.

Lin Yuan pushed the door and got out of the car.

In the other cars behind, several thugs saw the situation was wrong, hurriedly grabbed weapons and got out!

"You motherfucker, still dare to fight back?! If I don't let you see some blood today, do you really think our Prosperous Victory Association is easy to provoke?!" More than a dozen thugs surged forward ferociously.

A slap came whooshing!

"Crack! Crack! Crack!!" On the overpass, Lin Yuan struck in a flash!

His skills were extremely agile and vigorous!

He had practiced the Bone-Dislocation Technique and grappling countless times in front of the wooden post.

At this moment, these movements were instinctively executed from his mind.

In the blink of an eye, within a few minutes, more than a dozen thugs were all laid flat on the ground.

The wailing cries did not cease.

"Woo-woo! Woo-woo……!" Just then, suddenly from the street behind came a wail of police sirens!

Several police cars came whooshing!

The police cars sped over and surrounded the scene.

A group of police officers jumped out of their cars.

Su Monong drove her Mercedes-Benz, also rushing over.

It turned out that Su Monong had called the police, bringing them all the way here in pursuit, hoping to save Lin Yuan.

As a result, when the police officers got out of their cars and saw the scene, they all stood dumbfounded?

Su Monong stepped forward to look, and her beautiful eyes also froze.

All that could be seen was more than a dozen business vehicles lying across the road.

And that gang of thugs had all been crippled, lying on the ground wailing.

Lin Yuan was meanwhile catching his breath off to the side.

He had just exerted himself too much in the fight, and now he was panting from exhaustion.

This fight really is a test of stamina.

The police quickly took that gang of thugs into custody.

Su Monong also took Lin Yuan back.

Along the way, Lin Yuan drove while Su Monong sat in the back seat, her pretty face complex.

"Lin Yuan, how did you get involved with the Prosperous Victory Association?" Su Monong asked solemnly.

Lin Yuan casually made up an excuse, saying he had accidentally bumped his car into a junior member's vehicle of the Prosperous Victory Association, thus getting entangled. The other side wanted to extort him.

Lin Yuan dared not tell Su Monong about his part-time job at the bar.

Su Monong reminded, "If anything happens, remember to call the police first or contact me. Remember, don't act alone, especially don't provoke the Prosperous Victory Association's underworld gang. They are all ruffians and scoundrels, acting without any principle."

Lin Yuan felt somewhat moved, nodding and saying, "Yes, I understand."

……

In the evening, Lin Yuan ate a quick dinner at Su Monong's house, then hurriedly left.

At 9 p. m., Lin Yuan arrived on time at the Goddess Bar to work.

By day he works as a secretary; by night he works as a bar health trainer.

Lin Yuan has already grown accustomed to the rhythm of these two jobs.

To make money, he can only give it his all.

When Lin Yuan arrived at the bar, the staff there treated him with great respect!

"Yo, Lin Priest is here!"

"Priest, good morning!" Inside the Goddess Bar, a group of staff warmly greeted Lin Yuan.

Obviously, Lin Yuan's skills from yesterday had already intimidated this group.

That's how the martial world is: you speak with your fists. Look at who's ruthless, who's tough—then you submit to them.

Last night Lin Yuan's fists were hard enough, so the Goddess Bar staff all submitted to him.

But Lin Yuan hearing them call him 'Priest'? He was a bit dazed.

"No, why are you calling me Priest?" Lin Yuan asked, bewildered.

The bar staff laughed, "Lin Yuan, your skills yesterday were so strong that everyone gave you a nickname, 'Divine Doctor.' But that nickname is too vulgar, not fitting for the martial world. So we changed it to 'Priest' for you—this nickname suits you. Priest matches your medical profession too; both are about saving lives and healing the wounded."

Last night, Lin Yuan was given the nickname 'Divine Doctor,' but as it spread, it became increasingly exaggerated.

By today, the bar staff simply gave Lin Yuan the nickname 'Priest'.

Priest—this name sounds mighty.

Lin Yuan was somewhat speechless, "Um, could you not call me Priest? This nickname is a bit too showy… too exaggerated…"

But the bar staff refused, insisting on calling Lin Yuan Priest.

Thus, the nickname Priest was officially born starting tonight.

Lin Yuan, bewildered… became the Priest of the Goddess Bar.

Around 10 p. m., customers began to trickle into the Goddess Bar to spend money.

By 10 o'clock, the bar was already packed with guests.

Energetic music reverberated, laser lights flickered.

Throughout the bar's dance floor, the atmosphere was electrifying.

But amidst this endless crowd, a few men in leather jackets were secretly selling 'poison smoke' inside the Goddess Bar.

These few leather‑jacketed men furtively approached the bar's customers, lowering their voices to ask, "Hey, want some good stuff? I've got special smoke—smoke it and I guarantee you'll get addicted, feel so good you'll ascend to heaven~"

These men in leather jackets were secretly selling cigarettes inside the Goddess Bar.

Indeed, a few patrons, out of curiosity, bought several packs and gave them a try...

But soon, the clandestine cigarette-selling activity was discovered by An Yunxi.

In the upstairs private room, An Yunxi looked at the several packs of cigarettes placed before her, her beautiful eyes solemn.

"Are these packs of cigarettes the ones seized from downstairs?" An Yunxi asked.

His subordinate nodded solemnly, "Yes, these cigarettes all contain the strongly addictive 'opium husk' ingredient; they are narcotic cigarettes, contraband!"

An Yunxi took out a cigarette, broke the roll, placed it before her jade nose and lightly sniffed; indeed, she smelled a distinct opium husk aroma.

"Have you traced the origin of this group of distributors?" An Yunxi asked.

His subordinate nodded, "We've already found out—they were sent by the Prosperity Society, secretly coming to our bar to distribute and sell narcotic cigarettes, contraband! They probably intend to ruin our business!"

An Yunxi's beautiful eyes turned icy, "Downstairs, follow me to make the arrests!"

At that moment, inside the bar's dance floor, the four men in jackets were still secretly distributing the goods.

Just then, An Yunxi suddenly led a group of security personnel toward the four jacketed men.

"Who gave you permission to sell contraband cigarettes in the Goddess Bar?" An Yunxi stepped forward and shouted coldly.

Whoosh! The four jacketed men's faces changed drastically— they hadn't expected to be discovered so quickly?

They abruptly turned to flee!

"Take them down!" An Yunxi barked.

Instantly, the security behind her surged forward!

But just then, seeing they couldn't escape, the four jacketed men suddenly turned and charged at An Yunxi.

The four jacketed men also drew sharp daggers!

An Yunxi's pretty face changed— she hadn't expected the four men to suddenly attack her.

For a moment, she couldn't react.

Meanwhile, Lin Yuan was sitting by the bar counter, chatting with the bartender.

Suddenly seeing this scene in the dance floor, Lin Yuan's face changed drastically!

He sprang to his feet and rushed toward An Yunxi at a quick pace...
