Chapter 625: Seeking Death Has Its Way!

Late night, Qian Family Villa.

The villa's lights were all on, yet it exuded a suffocating stillness.

Qian Renhao sat on the leather sofa in the living room, his fingertips repeatedly dialing Hei Lang's number.

But from the receiver came only the cold message: 'The number you have dialed is turned off.'

Qian Renhao called over and over, but Hei Lang had completely lost contact……

"What's going on? What the hell is Hei Lang up to!"

Qian Renhao angrily threw his phone onto the coffee table, cracking the tempered glass surface.

According to the agreement, Hei Lang would contact him immediately after securing the prize.

Even if the Black Wolf Mercenary Group failed to succeed, they should have reported the situation……

But now, after a night of lost contact, not a single subordinate replied.

An ominous premonition…… suddenly rose in Qian Renhao's heart?

Qian Renhao got up…… pacing anxiously in the living room.

"Impossible…… Hei Lang brought so many elites, even a sniper—how could they fail to take down a Lin Yuan?" Qian Renhao muttered to himself, trying to dispel the fear in his heart.

But the trembling of his fingertips betrayed his panic.

Qian Renhao's unease…… grew stronger and stronger.

That night, Qian Renhao and his father, both suffered sleeplessness……

……

Next morning.

Qian Renhao sat at the dining table with heavy dark circles under his eyes, not touching the breakfast the servant brought.

Qian Renhao's gaze was fixed tightly on the LCD TV on the wall.

During the morning news segment, a breaking news report…… instantly caught Qian Renhao's attention……

The reporter stood on a chaotic street, behind him…… lay burnt-out vehicles and police tape.

The reporter spoke solemnly: 'Last evening, a clash involving overseas mercenaries broke out on a certain road in our city, with both sides wielding thermal weapons and engaging in fierce firefight; ultimately, they all perished from mutual slaughter, the scene has been sealed off by police, and the exact cause is under further investigation.'

In the TV footage, figures in camouflage uniforms could be vaguely seen being lifted onto ambulances……

Also visible were the blown‑apart vehicle wrecks; the familiar model and surroundings…… were exactly the site of the Black Wolf Mercenary Group's operation!

Qian Renhao's whole body stiffened; the glass in his hand crashed to the floor with a 'clang,' shards scattering everywhere.

Qian Renhao's complexion…… instantly turned ashen as paper.

His body trembled uncontrollably, his eyes filled with utter terror.

"Total annihilation…… mutual slaughter……" Qian Renhao repeated those words over and over, a chill surging from his soles to the crown of his head.

Qian Renhao knew better than anyone—this was no ordinary mercenary firefight; how could the formidable Black Wolf Mercenary Group so easily turn on each other?

There was only one answer—they, Hei Lang, had been wiped out by Lin Yuan!

That man whom he regarded as an ant, someone he thought could be easily dealt with with money……

Yet single‑handedly, he had annihilated the entire Black Wolf Mercenary Group!

Damn it…… that was an elite overseas mercenary corps!

This was the overseas mercenary corps Qian Renhao had hired at great expense—one hundred million!

The result? Annihilated by Lin Yuan alone??

Qian Renhao collapsed into his chair, his back already soaked in cold sweat.

His former hatred and contempt for Lin Yuan had now completely transformed into a deep‑seated fear.

Still shaken, Qian Renhao…… immediately dialed his father Qian Shoude.

Qian Renhao's voice trembled as he reported to the other end: 'Dad…… Hei Lang and the others…… are all finished! The news says they were wiped out in a firefight—surely it was Lin Yuan who did it! That Lin Yuan is terrifying!'

On the other end of the line, his father Qian Shoude fell silent for a moment.

Qian Shoude's tone was grave and sinister, with a hint of barely perceptible apprehension: 'I've already seen the news. I never expected Lin Yuan to be this formidable—assassination is no longer an option.'

Qian Shoude paused, his voice growing icier: 'Since we can't touch him directly, we'll strike at what he cares about! He's close to the Su Group, even works there—so we go after the Su Group! Suppress the Su Group, make Su Monong reveal a weakness! Then we'll seize someone close to Lin Yuan! Let him be completely at our mercy!'

"Going after the Su Group?" A flicker of ruthlessness flashed in Qian Renhao's eyes; his fear gradually gave way to vengeful rage.

He knew the Su Group was Su Monong's painstaking effort…… and also Lin Yuan's current reliance.

Suppressing the Su Group was undoubtedly a heavy blow aimed at Lin Yuan.

"Dad, I know what to do!"

After hanging up, Qian Renhao immediately summoned his subordinates and began plotting retaliation against the Su Group.

That day, Qian Renhao deployed all resources of the Qian Shi Group to launch a full‑scale commercial assault on the Su Group!

Maliciously buying up the Su Clan's circulating shares, spreading rumors of quality problems with Su Clan products, colluding with upstream and downstream suppliers to cut off supply channels!

In no time, the Su Group fell into an unprecedented business crisis.

But that wasn't enough; Qian Renhao wanted the Su Group to collapse completely, making Lin Yuan pay the price.

That afternoon, inside a pharmaceutical factory belonging to the Su Group……

Several masked men slipped in quietly, placing large amounts of gasoline and incendiary devices in the warehouse and production workshop.

With a tremendous roar, raging flames instantly engulfed the entire factory, fire shooting skyward, thick smoke billowing!

The Su Group's workshop equipment and raw materials were completely burned……

The on‑duty security guards reported the fire promptly, but could only watch helplessly as the factory fell into a sea of flames.

News of the fire spread quickly; the Su Group's stock plummeted, negative headlines flooded the air, and everyone inside the company panicked.

That day, for the Su Group, was a disaster.

……

At this moment, the Su Group headquarters.

Inside the office area… a oppressive atmosphere permeated.

Employees wore solemn faces, whispering about the crisis the group had encountered.

Lin Yuan sat before his desk, his fingertip gliding over the computer screen… news about the factory fire and plummeting stock prices.

A chill gathered in Lin Yuan's eyes.

Qian Shi Group's series of actions—from commercial suppression to arson—were ruthless and decisive, clearly aiming to drive Su Group into utter desperation.

"It seems the Qian father and son are indeed courting death." Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes, his fingertips tightening slightly.

Lin Yuan originally planned to make some arrangements first, then act against Qian Renhao.

But the other side's blatant targeting of Su Group had already touched his bottom line.

At this moment, the office door… was gently pushed open.

Chairman Su Monong walked in, her beautiful eyes full of fatigue and anxiety.

She walked to Lin Yuan's desk, looked at the negative news on the screen, and sighed helplessly: "Lin Yuan, Qian Shi Group has gone too far. We can barely handle their commercial suppression, but the factory was burned, many orders can't be fulfilled; if this continues, the group won't last long. Do you have any solution…?"

Su Monong was also forced into helplessness, so she could only turn to Lin Yuan for ideas.

Lin Yuan lifted his gaze to Su Monong, the killing intent in his eyes instantly retracting.

Lin Yuan's tone softened a bit: "First, call the police. Arson is a criminal offense; leave it to the police. I believe Mu Lingxue and the others will uncover the truth and give us an answer."

Lin Yuan deliberately concealed his plan.

He didn't want Su Monong to be drawn into this slaughter.

A flicker of disappointment flashed in Su Monong's eyes.

She had originally thought Lin Yuan would have an idea.

But now it seems even Lin Yuan has no solution.

Su Monong also understood… there was no other way now; she could only nod lightly:

"Alright, I'll arrange for someone to report the police right now. For now, this is the only option."

Su Monong helplessly turned and left the office, her graceful figure exuding a strong sense of helplessness.

Meanwhile, back in the office, Lin Yuan redirected his gaze to the computer screen; the cold light in his eyes surfaced again.

Tonight, Qian Renhao, must die.

In the evening, the off-duty bell rang.

Employees left the company one after another, the office area gradually returning to emptiness.

Lin Yuan gathered his belongings and headed straight for the underground parking lot.

He got into his own Tesla car.

The engine roared to life, and the vehicle slowly drove out of the underground parking lot.

Lin Yuan did not drive toward home; instead, he sped all the way to Qian Renhao's private villa…

…

As dusk fell, streetlights on both sides of the road lit up one by one, stretching the Tesla's shadow long.

More than half an hour later.

The Tesla car… stopped in a secluded corner outside Qian Renhao's private villa.

Lin Yuan turned off the engine, opened the car door, and his figure… melted into the night like a ghost.

The villa's perimeter was heavily guarded; eight security guards in black uniforms stood at the gate, each equipped with rubber batons and walkie-talkies.

The guards vigilantly scanned the surroundings, constantly patrolling back and forth.

Lin Yuan hesitated not at all, pushing off with his feet, his figure shot out like an arrow from a bow.

Before the guards could react, Lin Yuan flicked several silver needles from his fingertips, accurately striking the guards' neck and knee acupressure points.

"Pfft-pfft-pfft!!"

With a few soft sounds, the guards couldn't even utter a groan before collapsing stiffly to the ground, losing all mobility.

The guards didn't even get a chance to call for help.

In just a few seconds, the security at the entrance was completely taken down.

Lin Yuan quickly walked into the villa…

But inside this huge villa, there was no one at all??

Lin Yuan searched each room—living room, bedroom, study, and so on…

He combed every corner, yet never found a trace of Qian Renhao.

"Not here?" Lin Yuan frowned slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Immediately, Lin Yuan regained his composure and turned toward the subdued guards at the entrance.

He bent down, grabbed a guard's chin, then in a swift motion drove several silver needles deep into the guard's body acupressure points.

"Where is Qian Renhao?" Lin Yuan's voice ice-cold and piercing, he demanded.

The guard screamed in agony!

The guard trembled all over, daring not to conceal anything, and stammered: "Qian… Young Master Qian… he had already moved elsewhere… Young Master Qian, fearing retaliation, thus… moved to a secret villa behind Lingyin Temple… the guards there are much stricter; ordinary people simply can't find it…

Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed: "Lingyin Temple Back Mountain?"

That is indeed a hidden place.

Lin Yuan released his grip, twitched his fingertips, and several silver needles shot out, accurately striking the fainting points of several guards.

The guards' vision went dark; they all lost consciousness and collapsed, unconscious.

Lin Yuan lingered no longer, turned and walked out of the villa…

He got into the Tesla car again, the engine roaring once more…

The vehicle sped off toward the direction of the back mountain of Soul Hidden Temple……
