Chapter 74: The Goddess Boss's Kept Lover?

"Punk! You dare to mess with me?! If I lose even a single hair, you won't be leaving here standing today!" Jin Ke snarled through gritted teeth.

He seemed unafraid of Lin Yuan's threat.

"Ugh……!" Before Jin Ke's words even finished, he suddenly let out a pig‑like squeal of agony!

Only saw Lin Yuan ruthlessly yank out a clump of his hair!

That hair was ripped out root and all from Jin Ke's scalp, agonizing beyond belief!

"I've already pulled out dozens of your hairs; if your men don't back off, I'll break your legs and make you bald." Lin Yuan said coldly.

He never jokes when he speaks.

"You… you dare to pull my hair?! Tonight you won't leave alive!" Jin Ke snarled, furious.

As the boss of ET Bar, he'd never been humiliated like this before—especially in front of all his underlings!

"Pfft!" Before Jin Ke finished speaking, another large clump of hair was ripped out root and all!

His whole scalp screamed in agony; Jin Ke howled again, on the verge of breaking down.

This Lin Yuan looks honest and simple, but when he gets violent… he has absolutely no limits!

When he was young, his grandfather taught him…… normally he must hide his sharpness. But if he can't bear it any longer and must act, he must use the cruelest means to beat the opponent completely flat.

So Lin Yuan either doesn't act at all, or once he does, he shows no mercy.

"Stop pulling! I'll have them retreat—just stop……" Jin Ke trembled, collapsing, begging repeatedly.

He truly had a breakdown; this Lin Yuan is nothing short of a devil.

Jin Ke's scalp had been pulled bare; he trembled as he barked at his men, "Everyone…… get back…… all of you retreat…… hear me?!"

Around them, over seventy lackeys brandished weapons, their faces fierce and conflicted.

This.

The boss is being held hostage—this fight can't go on.

A bunch of lackeys could only slowly retreat.

"Get them in the cars, all leave! Once they're gone, I'll let you go." Lin Yuan ordered coldly.

Jin Ke gritted his teeth and could only shout at his men, "All get in the cars, withdraw!"

Over seventy of his men could only scramble into the business vehicles.

A dozen or so business vehicles reversed and drove away from the Goddess Bar……

Watching those dozen or so business vehicles vanish into the night‑street darkness……

"My people have withdrawn! Can you let me go now?!" Jin Ke snarled through clenched teeth.

Lin Yuan wasn't in a hurry; he pulled out his phone and recorded a video of Jin Ke.

"Boss Jin, you kidnapped Su Zhiyuan's two friends first; I hurt your men while rescuing them—can we call this even?" Lin Yuan asked while filming with his phone.

Jin Ke, being filmed, gritted his teeth and snapped, "What the hell do you mean? Who let you record me with your phone?!"

But before Jin Ke finished speaking, Lin Yuan yanked out a few more of his hairs.

Jin Ke howled in pain and could only nod repeatedly, "It's settled! All settled!"

Lin Yuan then asked, "Boss Jin, will you still send people to cause trouble for us in the future?"

Jin Ke, broken by the humiliation, could only shake his head, "No more—we'll stay out of each other's way from now on……"

"Alright, Boss Jin, I've recorded all this on my phone. I hope you keep your word. If you go back on it, I'll release these videos." Lin Yuan said slowly.

Hearing that, Jin Ke's face turned fierce.

This bastard!

If this video gets out, Jin Ke's reputation will be utterly ruined!

Not far away, An Yunxi stared blankly at the scene.

This Lin Yuan looks honest and simple, but when he gets ruthless he's plenty fierce.

This guy is born to thrive in the underworld.

"Cough cough cough! Fine, I promise—I won't cause you any more trouble." Jin Ke's voice trembled.

Lin Yuan finished filming, then let Jin Ke go.

Jin Ke fled in panic into his own car, shouting, "Lin! I'll curse your whole family's ancestors! This isn't over—just you wait in the jianghu!!"

Only after Jin Ke got into the car did he dare to unleash a torrent of abuse!

He hurled a string of insults at Lin Yuan outside the car.

"Still being arrogant? Stop the car!" An Yunxi's face hardened as she gave the order.

A group of Goddess Bar security guards rushed straight forward.

Jin Ke hurriedly slammed the accelerator, the sedan screeching away from the scene……

"Sister An, forget it—don't chase, you can't catch them. This grudge is between me and them; it's none of your business. I won't drag you into it." Lin Yuan shook his head and sighed.

Looks like tonight's business isn't over yet.

Was I not harsh enough? Lin Yuan wondered inwardly.

These grudges in the jianghu are really a hassle.

Besides completely shutting down ET Bar, there seems to be no other way to resolve this feud.

Lin Yuan turned around and headed back to the Goddess Bar.

Inside the bar, Su Zhiyuan and Shen Shiyuan stared at him, dazed.

"You… you're really the Priest……?" Su Zhiyuan still couldn't believe it, asking tremblingly.

"Um, sorry, Miss Su—I've kept this from you for so long. Yes, I am the Priest." Lin Yuan nodded in admission.

Things have come to this; he can't keep hiding it any longer.

Su Zhiyuan and Shen Shiyuan stared at Lin Yuan, dazed.

They had been searching for days, never expecting the Priest to be right beside them.

"I, I should have thought of that earlier..." Su Zhiyuan murmured, her voice somewhat complex.

Shen Shiyuan's beautiful eyes were also complex as she apologized, "Priest, sorry, you've always been by my side, yet I didn't recognize you..."

Meanwhile, Chen Linbing, lying on the ground not far away, slowly crawled up, wanting to take the opportunity to leave...

"What are you running for, kid? You're impersonating the Priest, right?" Zhang Ligang suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Chen Linbing.

"No... no, this is a misunderstanding..." Chen Linbing turned deathly pale with fright, repeatedly explaining.

"Slap!" Zhang Ligang directly gave him a slap.

"You dare impersonate the Priest of our Goddess Bar and not admit it? Are you tired of living?" Zhang Ligang seized Chen Linbing and rained a flurry of slaps on him.

Chen Linbing broke down under the blows, tears and snot streaming uncontrollably.

Only now did he feel regret.

He shouldn't have, a thousand times over, impersonated the Priest of the Goddess Bar.

Su Zhiyuan and Shen Shiyuan also stepped forward and each gave Chen Linbing a hard slap.

The two women had been deceived by Chen Linbing for so many days, and they were also furious.

Chen Linbing was forced to produce all the luxury goods the two women had given him.

"Sister An, how should we deal with this person?" Zhang Ligang gave Chen Linbing a violent beating, then asked for instructions.

At this moment, Chen Linbing lay on the ground, covered in blood.

"Break his legs and throw him out of the bar." An Yunxi said calmly.

One who dares impersonate the Priest of the Goddess Bar, this swindler must pay a price.

"Sister An, forget it, let him go." Lin Yuan couldn't bear to watch; An Yunxi's methods were too ruthless.

Lin Yuan finally stepped forward and said.

An Yunxi sighed, "Your heart is still too soft. Forget it, since you've spoken, let it go."

An Yunxi had Chen Linbing come over, bow to Lin Yuan in apology, then told him to scram……

"Miss Su, could you please keep my part-time job at the Goddess Bar a secret and not tell anyone at the company, including your mother?" Lin Yuan suddenly requested.

Su Zhiyuan reacted, nodding, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. You can continue working at the Su Group."

At this moment, her good friend Shen Shiyuan stepped forward, blinking her beautiful eyes, "Lin Yuan, sorry… I misunderstood you before. Can I add you on WeChat? You are my lifesaver; I want to properly thank you~"

Lin Yuan could only take out his phone and open the WeChat QR code.

Shen Shiyuan added Lin Yuan as a WeChat friend.

At this time, the bar still needed to stay open for business.

Lin Yuan wouldn't get off work until after 3 a. m., so he let Su Zhiyuan and the two go home first.

But Su Zhiyuan and her good friend Shen Shiyuan insisted on staying at the bar to keep Lin Yuan company until he got off work.

The two women waited until Lin Yuan got off work at 3 a. m., then drove him home……

……

Inside the bar, An Yunxi sat in a private room and sent a text message to the mysterious Goddess Boss.

An Yunxi truthfully reported everything about Lin Yuan tonight to the boss.

Soon, the Goddess Boss sent a message: 【This guy is somewhat interesting, a tough piece, worth cultivating.】

An Yunxi replied: 【But boss, are you sure you want to bring him in? He's just an ordinary person; once he gets mixed up in the jianghu, he might never be able to get out.】

On the other end of WeChat, the boss sent a message: 【If we don't bring him in, he'll be in even greater danger; I'm protecting him. Many gangs on the road have already set their sights on him, admiring his skills and wanting to recruit him. Given the nature of those gangs, if Lin Yuan refuses, he'll only face continual retaliation. So letting him join the Goddess Bar is protecting him.】

Seeing the boss's reply, An Yunxi was stunned.

An Yunxi replied: 【Boss, I've never seen you care so much about a man before. What exactly is he to you?】

On the other end of WeChat, after more than ten minutes, the Goddess Boss finally replied: 【Don't ask what you shouldn't.】

An Yunxi asked again: 【Boss, do you have any other thoughts about him? For example, any ulterior motives? I mean, is he your kept lover?】

On the other end of WeChat, the Goddess Boss sent a string of question marks: 【??????】

……

Meanwhile, that night, Su Zhiyuan and her good friend Shen Shiyuan both suffered insomnia.

The two lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, their minds filled with thoughts of Lin Yuan……

……

The next morning, after Su Zhiyuan finished reporting her work in her mother's office, she hesitated for a long time, then suddenly asked, "Mom, what do you think of Lin Yuan as a person?"

Her mother, Su Monong, startled, said, "He's quite good; Lin Yuan works diligently and earnestly, follows orders from superiors, and is a promising prospect."

Su Zhiyuan bit her lip, hesitating, "No, Mom, I mean… what do you think of him as your son‑in‑law??"
