Chapter 627: Woman's Revenge

Renhao! Renhao! Speak! Is something wrong?

On the other end of the phone came the anxious voice of his father, Qian Shoude.

Renhao, did you just call me? Why did it suddenly cut off? Was it that scumbag Lin Yuan who found you? Qian Shoude asked urgently over the phone.

Lin Yuan's lips curled into a cold arc: "Exactly, I found your son."

Lin Yuan?! Qian Shoude's voice on the other end visibly trembled.

Qian Shoude snarled over the phone, "Where is your son? What did you do to Renhao?"

Lin Yuan held the phone and said lightly, "Your son can't speak."

Swish!

The other end of the phone instantly fell into a deathly silence!

In the phone, only a faint current hissed, oppressive enough to make one breathless.

This silence lasted nearly ten seconds...

The next second, Qian Shoude's roar pierced the earpiece, filled with savage fury: "Where is my son?! Lin Yuan! What did you do to my son?!"

Lin Yuan glanced at the trunk.

He said casually, "Rest easy, I didn't kill him. I just broke the bones of your son's limbs, fractured a few ribs—he's now... passed out, still clinging to life."

Qian Shoude's breathing suddenly grew heavy!

Qian Shoude's voice trembled over the phone: "Lin Yuan! I beg you! Don't kill Renhao! No matter what you want?"

"Money, assets, territory—I'll give them all! I'll agree to any of your demands, I just beg you... spare his life!"

"Good." Lin Yuan replied succinctly, "I'll spare his life."

Over the phone, Qian Shoude's tense nerves eased slightly.

Qian Shoude said solemnly, "Lin Yuan, let's set a time to talk properly, how about that? As long as you release my son, everything can be discussed!"

Lin Yuan sneered, "Talk? Fine, then you set a time and place, we'll talk face to face. This debt can't be dragged on forever."

Qian Shoude on the other end fell silent for a moment, evidently weighing the pros and cons quickly...

Finally, Qian Shoude gritted his teeth and said, "Tomorrow morning at ten, come to the top-floor office of the Qian Shi Group headquarters. I'll be waiting there; as long as you don't kill my son, I can agree to any of your conditions!"

Lin Yuan replied calmly, "Fine. I'll be there tomorrow morning at ten."

Having said that, Lin Yuan directly pressed the hang-up button.

He casually threw the already shattered iPhone 17 to the ground.

Lin Yuan stomped on the phone with one foot, completely cutting off the signal.

Lin Yuan turned and got into the car.

The Tesla Model S sedan sped away from the villa...

Night.

Lin Yuan drove, heading straight to Goddess Bar 2.

Goddess Bar 2 is located in a bustling district of Hangcheng.

Right now, the bar is at its peak of customer flow.

Neon light streamed through the glass doors onto the street, forming a stark contrast with the oppressive atmosphere inside the car.

He went around to the back of the bar and opened the hidden door leading to the underground warehouse.

Lin Yuan hurled Qian Renhao heavily onto the cold concrete floor.

Qian Renhao remained unconscious...

His broken limbs... twisted at strange angles.

Qian Renhao's mouth corner... still had traces of blood.

Lin Yuan leaned over, picked up a few silver needles, and precisely inserted them into several life-sustaining acupoints on his body.

This both maintains Qian Renhao's basic vital signs and suppresses pain, preventing premature awakening.

This ensures Qian Renhao can stay alive until tomorrow for the negotiation with Qian Shoude.

Having done all that, Lin Yuan clapped his hands, turned, and locked the warehouse door.

He locked Qian Renhao inside the bar's underground warehouse.

Then Lin Yuan walked straight into the bar's lobby.

The bar was filled with clamor, and explosive music swept through.

Inside the bar hall, guests surged; booths and scattered tables were all occupied.

Waiters bustled back and forth.

The business of Goddess Bar 2 remained... booming.

Lin Yuan had his hands in his pockets, slowly patrolling along the bar and booths.

His gaze swept every corner, confirming the bar's order was in order, before he slightly relaxed.

During this period, he had been overwhelmed by the Qian family father and son and the Lei Hu Men affairs, indeed too long without time to tend to the bar's business.

Having patrolled to the bar, Lin Yuan pulled over a high stool and sat down.

He lifted his chin at the busy bartender Yu Meng: "Mix me a 'Silent Storm,' less ice."

Yu Meng chuckled, "Isn't that Manager Lin? You big shot finally have time to check out the bar? If you don't come again, we'll think you've switched jobs."

Lin Yuan joked, "Before I switch jobs, I'll definitely poach you. You're such a great bartender, can't let you go to waste."

"'Thanks,' Yu Meng replied with a cheerful laugh."

Her fingertips nimbly handled bottles and shaker, movements skilled and swift.

Soon, Yu Meng pushed a deep-hued cocktail in front of Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan lifted his wine cup and took a sip; it was spicy with a hint of sweetness aftertaste.

"Let me see this month's bar bill," Lin Yuan said.

Yu Meng took the drink order bill from the bar and slid it over to him.

Lin Yuan then raised his hand and received the ledger Yu Meng handed over.

Lin Yuan flipped through the pages of documents with his fingertips, carefully reviewing the recent months' revenue and expenses.

The bar's accounts were clear and transparent, with profits steadily growing.

Obviously, Yu Meng and the other staff had managed everything very well.

This made Lin Yuan quite satisfied.

Just then, a figure walked through the crowd to the bar.

He was a man in his twenties.

The man wore a tailor-made dark suit, a limited-edition watch on his wrist, and exuded an unmistakable aura of a wealthy second-generation heir.

The man's gaze fell on Yu Meng.

The man's tone carried a touch of indulgence and an unwillingness to accept refusal as he spoke, breaking their silence: "Mengmeng, don't work here."

Yu Meng's hand paused in its motion, and she lifted her head to look at the man.

Yu Meng's tone held a hint of helplessness: "Dawei, I've told you several times already—I like this part-time job; mixing drinks is my hobby."

Yang Dawei, however, didn't mind and leaned in closer.

Yang Dawei's voice carried a gentle, showy tone.

"Just work steadily at the bank; it's stable and respectable. This place is a mixed crowd—no need to tire yourself out. If you need money, tell me; I'll support you."

As he spoke, Yang Dawei reached to touch Yu Meng's hand, but she sidestepped to avoid him.

This scene happened to fall into Lin Yuan's eyes…

Lin Yuan put down the ledger in his hand and lifted his eyes to look at Yang Dawei.

A hint of surprise flickered in Lin Yuan's eyes.

Immediately, Lin Yuan turned to Yu Meng and asked, "Who is this?"

A flash of embarrassment crossed Yu Meng's face as she quickly introduced: "Manager Lin, this is Yang Dawei, my childhood friend and neighbor; he… he has been pursuing me."

After saying that, Yu Meng added another sentence with an apologetic tone: "Sorry to bother you."

Only then did Yang Dawei notice Lin Yuan standing beside the bar.

Yang Dawei gave Lin Yuan a once‑over.

Seeing that Lin Yuan was dressed casually and didn't look like an important figure, a hint of contempt appeared in his eyes.

Yang Dawei spoke arrogantly: "Who are you, kid? I warn you—don't get too close to my Mengmeng!"

Yang Dawei struck a pose of claiming ownership: "You're just after Mengmeng because she's pretty, hoping to chase her? Forget it—she already has a boyfriend!"

Saying this, Yang Dawei proudly pointed at himself, lifting his chin high.

Yang Dawei's eyes… were full of pride.

He seemed certain… that Yu Meng was already his to possess.

Lin Yuan watched his self‑important act, a trace of amusement flashing in his eyes.

Lin Yuan glanced at him as if he were an idiot.

Lin Yuan said calmly: "I am her supervisor."

"Huh?" The smug look on Yang Dawei's face froze instantly, and he stood there stunned.

Yang Dawei's eyes were filled with bewilderment…

He obviously hadn't expected… that this casually dressed man would be Yu Meng's superior.

Yang Dawei's previous arrogance instantly waned by half.

Seeing this, Yu Meng quickly stepped forward to mediate: "He's the person in charge of our bar, Manager Lin. Yang Dawei, be polite to Manager Lin."

She deliberately stressed the three words "Manager Lin" to remind Yang Dawei to restrain his attitude.

Yang Dawei came to his senses, a flash of embarrassment crossing his face, yet he remained undeterred.

Yang Dawei turned his head and began to pester Yu Meng again.

Yang Dawei's tone carried a flattering sort of boast.

"Well… what's up with the manager? Mengmeng, you shouldn't suffer here—let me support you; I'll get you a Porsche right away, which is far better than killing yourself over this job."

Yu Meng's helplessness deepened, and her tone grew colder.

Yu Meng responded with obvious resistance.

"Yang Dawei, stop bothering me, okay? I've said it before—I like this job; I don't need you to support me."

But Yang Dawei wouldn't listen at all, still clinging to the bar.

He droned on about the comfortable life he could provide Yu Meng.

His hand… kept inching toward Yu Meng from time to time, continually harassing and pestering her.

Lin Yuan took in all of this, then set down his drink.

Lin Yuan spoke calmly, with a hint of warning: "You keep harassing my female employee; I have the right to ask you to leave the bar."

Upon hearing this, Yang Dawei immediately stiffened his neck and retorted, raising his hand to shout at the bartender:

"I've spent money! I'm a customer of your bar!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the most expensive liquors on the drink list…

Yang Dawei slapped the bar boldly: "Give me those bottles, all opened! Look, I've spent money—I'm drinking here, that's fine, right?"

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow, shrugged indifferently: "You've got money, do as you please."

Yu Meng watched Lin Yuan's demeanor, feeling both annoyed and helpless.

Yu Meng muttered, "Manager Lin, you're being too realistic, aren't you?"

Lin Yuan turned his head and glanced at her……

Lin Yuan's tone carried a hint of teasing seriousness: "There's no way around it, it's for the bar's performance. Besides, he didn't lay a hand on you; at most he's just noisy. Just consider it your contribution to the bar."

Yu Meng rolled her eyes, cursing Lin Yuan eight hundred times in her heart……

Yu Meng silently complained: "This Manager Lin is really getting more and more annoying, not helping me at all."

Seeing Lin Yuan no longer intervene, Yang Dawei became even more pushy.

Yang Dawei sat in front of the bar counter…… chatted nonstop with Yu Meng……

The topic went from luxury goods to travel……

Meanwhile, Lin Yuan had already left the bar counter……

Yang Dawei completely ignored Yu Meng's perfunctory expression.

Yu Meng was driven to distraction by his pestering, really couldn't stand it anymore%

She found an excuse and said, "I'm going to the restroom."

Saying that, Yu Meng quickly stood up, fled the bar counter, just wanting to avoid Yang Dawei's entanglement.

She hurried to the restroom doorway……

Just then she bumped into Lin Yuan coming out of the men's restroom……

The two collided squarely.

Lin Yuan looked at her hurried appearance and greeted with a smile: "What a coincidence, you're also coming to the restroom?"

Yu Meng had a belly full of anger with nowhere to vent……

Hearing that, Yu Meng glared at him and angrily snapped: "Lin Yuan, damn your coincidence!"

Without waiting for Lin Yuan to react, Yu Meng stepped forward and grabbed his collar……

Yu Meng directly tiptoed in her high heels and pressed her gorgeous red lips onto his.

Her soft touch instantly contacted Lin Yuan……

That silky feeling……

Lin Yuan was completely dazed, instinctively pushing her away.

Lin Yuan asked, bewildered: "What are you doing?"

Yu Meng's cheeks flushed, yet she still forced a fierce facade.

She glared at him: "Lin Yuan, you did that on purpose, right? You deliberately left Yang Dawei to torment me? If you won't help me, I'll make you pay! Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"

Lin Yuan looked at her angry yet somewhat cute expression, laughing and crying at once.

Lin Yuan said speechlessly, "No, is this what you call bullying? Just this?"

"Of course! This isn't enough!" Yu Meng said, moving in again……

She tiptoed and kissed Lin Yuan's lips……

This time she applied more force and lasted longer.

After the kiss, she grabbed his wrist and shoved him into the women's restroom……

Yu Meng casually pulled open a stall door and pushed him inside……

Throughout, Lin Yuan didn't have time to react……

Immediately after……

"Bang!"

With a thud…… Yu Meng slammed the stall door shut!

She locked the stall door from the inside……
