Chapter 669: The Top Student's Trump Card

Lin Yuan heard the words, without the slightest hesitation, slowly shook his head.

Lin Yuan, word by word, refused: "It's unnecessary, Miss Sun. I will not side with you, nor betray General Manager Su, nor help you and your father do those rule‑breaking, scheming to seize company authority."

In Lin Yuan's heart, Su Monong is not only his superior, but also someone worthy of his assistance.

Lin Yuan acts with principle.

Whoever is his benefactor, he will help for a lifetime.

A drop of water's kindness is repaid with a spring.

Lin Yuan will never, for wealth and honor, violate his principles and betray his true heart.

Sun Weiwei's delicate, pretty smile…… gradually faded.

The pride and allure in her eyes gradually gave way to anger and resentment.

Sun Weiwei stepped forward, tightly staring into Lin Yuan's eyes.

Sun Weiwei's tone was full of questioning and unwillingness, with a hint of provocation:

"Lin Yuan, are you crazy? Do you really intend to die alongside that woman Su Monong? She is now isolated and helpless, with no chance of a comeback."

"Following her will leave you with nothing, and you may even be settled accounts with by us father and daughter!"

After her words fell, Sun Weiwei's tone softened again.

Sun Weiwei…… carrying a hint of grievance and ambiguity, her eyes full of tenderness, she spoke softly:

"Lin Yuan, I am your woman, aren't you willing to protect and guard me? My father and I taking over the Su Group is also for our future better life—don't you feel any pity for me, don't you want to share all this with me?"

Speaking, Sun Weiwei no longer hesitated, slowly lifting her leg.

Her delicate black silk…… wrapped her slender, fair jade foot.

She lightly kicked off her high heels, the black‑silk‑clad jade foot slowly extending toward Lin Yuan……

Then, Sun Weiwei used her toes…… to lightly rub against Lin Yuan's leg, the act ambiguous and deliberate, full of temptation.

Her gaze grew more dazed, her tone soft and sweet, with a hint of coquetry and pleading……

Sun Weiwei continued to tempt: "Lin Yuan, just agree to me. When my father and I take over the Su Group, won't I still be yours? Then the entire Su Group will be ours—you can have whatever you want."

"I know you like feet, right?"

Sun Weiwei's mouth corner…… curled up a charming smile.

Sun Weiwei's black‑silk jade foot…… continued to lightly rub on Lin Yuan's leg, her tone growing more ambiguous,

"In the future, I'll marry you, play with you every day, accompany you every day, okay? Just help me, help us, okay?"

At this moment, she let go of all pretense, using the most blatant ambiguity, trying to move Lin Yuan and force him to compromise.

Lin Yuan only felt his whole body stiffen, his face instantly showing a hint of impatience.

Sun Weiwei, becoming ever more strange, made him dislike her more and more.

Although she is very beautiful.

But her personality makes Lin Yuan feel disgusted.

Lin Yuan instinctively wanted to retreat, to avoid her touch.

Seeing Sun Weiwei resort to any means, utterly shameless, his inner aversion grew stronger.

Lin Yuan's gaze…… also turned ever colder, not at all swayed by her temptation.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Yuan sprang up from his chair.

Lin Yuan's surrounding aura…… instantly turned icy.

Lin Yuan's tone…… held no extra emotion, only undisguised aloofness and warning:

"Miss Sun, please respect yourself. I have already made it clear—I will not side with you, nor help you and your father do anything against my principles; please leave my office at once."

His voice was not loud, yet carried an unquestionable firmness.

Every word of Lin Yuan's rang out like metal striking stone.

He completely shattered the ambiguous atmosphere in the office.

Sun Weiwei was enraged by Lin Yuan's decisiveness.

Her delicate pretty face…… the charm and tenderness vanished instantly without a trace.

In their place came surging anger and resentment,

Sun Weiwei never imagined that, after letting go of all restraint and using every trick to tempt Lin Yuan……

What she got in return…… was this cold refusal and humiliation.

"Lin Yuan! Don't be shameless!"

Sun Weiwei shouted angrily, her beautiful eyes icy.

She no longer cared about her image, suddenly stepping forward.

Sun Weiwei reached out to grab Lin Yuan's collar……

She even wanted to forcibly kiss his lips, trying to use this to force him to compromise.

She simply didn't believe Lin Yuan would not want it.

Lin Yuan had been prepared, watching the rushing Sun Weiwei……

Lin Yuan slightly shifted his body, easily dodging her touch.

Before Sun Weiwei could react……

Lin Yuan's wrist snapped over, his fingertips instantly pinching a Silver Needle, and without hesitation he thrust it into Sun Weiwei's acupoint with precise force.

In less than a second, Sun Weiwei's body instantly stiffened, her limbs losing all strength.

Sun Weiwei's body could not move an inch, her mouth could not open; she could only stare wide‑eyed, her eyes filled with disbelief and raging fury.

From her throat came a muffled "uh‑uh", yet she could not utter a complete sentence.

Lin Yuan looked at the immobile Sun Weiwei, his face showing no pity at all.

Lin Yuan's tone remained icy: "This is a lesson for you, to teach you what self-respect means."

Speaking, Lin Yuan reached out his hand and gently picked up Sun Weiwei in a horizontal hold.

Even though he disliked her, Lin Yuan would not take advantage of her predicament, nor would he make any unnecessary contact.

He held Sun Weiwei and hurried out of his office.

Lin Yuan placed her against the hallway wall, letting her maintain a standing posture, stiffly holding her there.

After doing all that, Lin Yuan coldly stared at her.

Lin Yuan's tone was flat yet carried a hint of warning: "In half an hour, your acupoints will automatically release; stay here and calm down, don't do anything shameless again. If I see you pestering me without scruples again, don't blame me for being impolite."

Having said that, Lin Yuan no longer looked at Sun Weiwei's resentful gaze, turned around and shut the office door.

He completely shut Sun Weiwei's anger and resentment outside the door.

In the hallway, only Sun Weiwei remained, standing stiffly in place, unable to move…

Sun Weiwei clenched her teeth against her red lips, fury in her eyes, yet helpless.

She could only glare hatefully at Lin Yuan's office door, full of resentment and unwillingness.

Sun Weiwei secretly swore… she would definitely make Lin Yuan pay the price.

…

In the blink of an eye, evening arrived.

Su Group's employees gradually left work, and the once bustling office area gradually became empty.

Only a few scattered employees remained working overtime.

In Su Monong's office, the lights remained on; she sat at her desk, brows tightly furrowed.

Su Monong's face was full of fatigue and helplessness.

Before her lay a pile of documents, all concerning internal company strife, broken cooperation, and stalled R&D.

Looking at them made her anxious and at a loss.

The step-by-step pressure from Sun Weiwei and her father drove Su Monong into utter desperation.

Company morale scattered, R&D projects stalled…

Important cooperation channels were also cut off.

Su Monong tried various methods, but could never break the deadlock,.

Isolated and helpless, she could only think of Lin Yuan—

The one who had always stood by her side, willing to step forward for her.

Su Monong took a deep breath, composed herself, rose, left her office, and headed straight for Lin Yuan's office.

She gently knocked on the door, and from inside came Lin Yuan's low response: "Come in."

Su Monong pushed the door open.

She saw Lin Yuan sitting at his desk, handling his work.

"Lin Yuan," Su Monong walked to his desk, her voice full of helplessness and pleading.,

Su Monong's face… no longer had its former strength, only fatigue and weakness remained: "I… I really have no way left, I want to ask you for a favor."

Lin Yuan stopped his work, lifted his head to look at her…%

Seeing her fatigue and helplessness in her eyes.

Lin Yuan's heart stirred slightly, his tone softened a bit: "General Manager Su, what's wrong?"

Su Monong sighed, then spoke slowly:

"Sun Licheng and his daughter are now pressing step by step; they not only seized control of Qian Shi Group's management, cut off our important cooperation channels, and bribed people in our R&D department, causing the X Vaccine's development to come to a complete halt."

"Inside the company, people are panicking, everyone is swaying. I've tried various methods, but still can't counter their schemes; I… I really don't know what to do—do you have any ideas?"

She said this, her voice full of pleading, her eyes hinting at a sliver of expectation, as if Lin Yuan were her only lifeline.

Lin Yuan looked at her helpless appearance, fell silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head.

Lin Yuan's tone carried a hint of helplessness: "General Manager Su, sorry, I don't have any good solutions either. Sun Licheng has been running the company for years, with deep connections, and he and his daughter use any means, ruthless tactics; trying to completely overthrow them is extremely difficult."

Upon hearing this, the light in Su Monong's eyes instantly dimmed.

Su Monong's face was full of desolation; she lowered her head slightly and sighed: "I knew… even you have no way…"

Su Monong knew in her heart…

Although Lin Yuan is exceptionally skilled and brave and strategic…

but the power of Sun Weiwei and her father is too vast; dealing with them is indeed as hard as climbing to heaven.

Seeing her dejected look, Lin Yuan spoke slowly: "General Manager Su, although I currently have no way to fully resolve this crisis, I can declare my stance: no matter what difficulties arise, I will wholeheartedly help you; as long as I am here, I will do my utmost to protect you completely."

Su Monong raised her head, looking at Lin Yuan's determined eyes.

Upon hearing his solemn declaration…

At this moment, a warm current suddenly welled up in Su Monong's heart, her eye sockets slightly reddened.

The fatigue and grievance she had felt these days seemed, at this moment, to find solace.

"Thank you, Lin Yuan." Su Monong said, stepping forward, her stunning high heels lightly lifting onto her toes.

Then, she pressed her lips to Lin Yuan's.

Sweet fragrance filled the embrace.

Lin Yuan instinctively… wrapped his arms around Director Su's waist…

…

A sleepless night.,

Early the next morning, Su Monong arrived early at Su Group.

She did not first handle the piled documents on her desk, but immediately called Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan, come to my office for a moment; I have an important matter to discuss with you.

After receiving the call, Lin Yuan immediately set aside his work and hurried to Su Monong's office.

When he opened the door, he unexpectedly saw Su Monong's daughter Su Zhiyuan sitting on the sofa, dressed in simple casual attire, obviously also summoned by Su Monong.

"General Manager Su, are you looking for me?" Lin Yuan walked to the desk, his gaze unintentionally sweeping over Su Zhiyuan as he asked softly.

He hadn't expected Su Monong to also summon his daughter; it seems the matter to be discussed today is indeed out of the ordinary.

Su Monong nodded, indicating for Lin Yuan to sit down.

Afterward, Su Monong took a deep breath, and the fatigue on his face gradually faded.

She slowly spoke: "Lin Yuan, after last night's deliberation, I have come up with a breakthrough plan, which is also my last trump card."

Su Monong paused, his gaze sweeping over Lin Yuan and Su Zhiyuan, then continued:

"The reason Sun Weiwei and her father dare to act so arrogantly is simply because they are convinced we cannot restart development of the X Vaccine, nor do we have the ability to regain the cooperation channel. The X Vaccine is the core of our Su Group; as long as we can restart development and stabilize the project, we have a chance to turn things around."

Saying this, Su Monong's tone grew more expectant: "I have inquired and learned that recently Zhijiang University has produced an Academic God, who possesses extraordinary talent in pharmaceutical R&D, even achieving several breakthrough research results; though young, he has already gained some renown in the industry."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan's heart gave a slight jump??

"Academic God, isn't that him?"

Su Monong continued:

"I plan to go to Zhijiang University myself, offer a high salary to recruit that Academic God into the Su Group to lead the X Vaccine R&D work; as long as we can bring him on board, we have hope of breaking the current deadlock."

After she finished speaking, Su Monong looked at Lin Yuan and Su Zhiyuan.

"Su Monong said solemnly: This matter is of utmost importance; there must be no slip-up. I still have many company affairs to handle here and cannot go myself, so I want to entrust this task to the two of you."

"Lin Yuan, you are exceptionally skilled and meticulous, able to protect Su Zhiyuan completely; Su Zhiyuan, you are close in age to that Academic God, making it easier to approach him. The two of you must work together and find a way to bring that Academic God back to the Su Group."

Su Zhiyuan immediately stood up, nodded firmly with a clear tone:

"Mom, rest assured, I will surely cooperate well with Lin Yuan, bring back the Academic God, and help you stabilize the company!"

She had long disliked Sun Weiwei and her father's actions, felt sorry for her mother's recent hardships, and now, more determined than ever, wanted to help.

Meanwhile, Lin Yuan, upon hearing the words 'Zhijiang University Academic God,' froze instantly.

Lin Yuan's composure instantly gave way to shock, his mind went blank as if doused with cold water, leaving him momentarily unable to react.

"Academic God? The newly risen Academic God at Zhijiang University?"

A surge of disbelief welled up in Lin Yuan's heart, his eyes filled with incredulity.

"He himself, isn't he the 'Academic God' Su Monong mentioned?"

He usually teaches at Zhijiang University, where students call him the Academic God...

He has always kept a low profile, never deliberately showing off, and never told Su Monong about this.

"How could Su Monong suddenly think of poaching that Academic God?"

"How could she know that Zhijiang University has such an Academic God?"

"Moreover, she entrusted this so-important matter to him and Su Zhiyuan to handle?"

Countless questions swirled in Lin Yuan's mind; he opened his mouth to speak, but didn't know how to respond.

"He couldn't just directly tell Su Monong, 'The Academic God you're looking for is me,' could he?"

"If he said so, his low-key teaching and hidden identity would be exposed."

Lin Yuan also didn't know how Su Monong would react; but if he didn't speak, going with Su Zhiyuan to Zhijiang University to 'find himself' would be utterly absurd and impossible to explain to Su Monong.

"Lin Yuan, what's wrong?" Su Monong, seeing his strange expression, asked suspiciously.
