Chapter 744: Please Come Back

Just as everyone was filled with doubt and secretly speculating,

Lin Yuan's fingertip force suddenly increased.

He sent his inner strength… along the acupoints… into Du Jie's body.

The dozens of silver needles inserted into Du Jie's body all began to vibrate and hum again!

"Humm——!!"

The humming sound……vibrated and rang!

The uniform, synchronized humming carried a hint of eerie wonder.

The surrounding crowd, shocked and curious, gathered to watch.

This scene was too shocking.

Silver needles humming and vibrating—such a sight,

The humming vibration lasted only a moment.

Du Jie, lying on the ground, suddenly let out a faint "heh-heh" from his throat.

Immediately afterward, Du Jie coughed sharply.

A mouthful of bloody, turbid qi……spurted from Du Jie's mouth.

Du Jie's originally tightly shut eyes slowly opened.

Du Jie's eyes……were filled with bloodshot, utterly cloudy.

He was full of extreme pain and bewilderment; obviously, Du Jie had not yet fully recovered from his near-death state.

As soon as Du Jie opened his eyes, the piercing pain coming from all parts of his body instantly swept over him.

The puncture wound in Du Jie's palm, the stab wound in his ribs, the broken finger wound……were still continuously bleeding.

Warm blood slid down his wounds.

Du Jie could no longer hold back; he opened his mouth and let out a wracking, anguished howl.

Du Jie's voice was hoarse and broken, full of despair:

"Ugh! It hurts so much!! Ugh! My hand! My ribs!"

Du Jie struggled to move, but his whole body was weak and limp; any slight movement would intensify the pain a bit.

Du Jie could only collapse on the ground, weeping and wailing in pain.

Du Jie's appearance……was miserable to the extreme, with no trace of the Shangqing Group heir's arrogance left.

At this moment, Du Jie had nothing left but despair from the torment of excruciating pain.

Qin Bore stood to the side, watching Du Jie come back to consciousness.

There was not a ripple in her eyes.

Qin Bore spoke in a flat tone, ordering Lin Yuan:

"Sure, help him stop the bleeding and ease the pain. Don't let him keep howling; it's annoying."

She didn't want Du Jie to faint again from excessive blood loss.

Lin Yuan heard this and sighed helplessly.

His rescue had brought trouble upon himself; not only did he have to save Du Jie, but he also had to help stop the bleeding and relieve the pain.

Yet facing Qin Bore's unyielding tone, Lin Yuan did not defy her and could only obey meekly.

Who made him secretly love this woman?

Lin Yuan withdrew his hand from pressing the acupoints, then again pulled out a few silver needles from his needle case.

As Lin Yuan's fingertips flew, the silver needles……precisely pierced the area around Du Jie's wounds.

At the moment the needles entered the points, Du Jie's wounds, which had been gushing fresh blood……gradually slowed.

The pain of the wounds……also lessened considerably.

Du Jie's wailing grew weaker and finally ceased altogether.

At this point, Du Jie had nothing left but heavy breathing; the look of pain on his face……also eased somewhat.

Lin Yuan's acupuncture hemostasis obviously really works?

But at this moment, Du Jie was still trembling all over, his eyes full of lingering shock.

This scene completely left everyone present stunned.

Just moments ago, everyone's faces were full of doubt; now……they were utterly replaced by extreme shock.

The onlookers all widened their eyes, faces full of disbelief.

Everyone's gaze toward Lin Yuan was full of shock.

Someone couldn't help but let out a low exclamation, their tone full of incredulity.

"Just by pressing acupoints and using silver needles, they revived a person who had stopped breathing, stopped the bleeding, eased the pain—this Chinese medical method is too terrifying!"

The veteran group leaders at the bar entrance were also completely shaken.

These veteran group leaders, each with a solemn expression, had eyes full of shock.

At this moment, they no longer doubted Lin Yuan's medical skill; instead, they felt……deep apprehension.

Zhaojun furrowed his brow, his tone grave: "This Lin Yuan really has ability! A Chinese medical secret technique that can bring the dead back to life is unheard of, utterly terrifying—no wonder Qin Bore dares to be so fearless."

Long Jianyi nodded repeatedly, his eyes shocked, saying:

"Yes, I used to think he was just an ordinary Chinese doctor, but I never expected him to have such heavenly abilities—using only silver needles and inner strength to reverse life and death; this talent is probably unmatched in the entire Jiangnan underground world."

Hai Zhongtian slowly raised his hand, rubbed his brow, his voice full of lament:

"Ancient Chinese medicine truly lives up to its reputation; with this Mingzhen Technique and such precise acupoint control, Lin Yuan's medical skill has reached a miraculous level—having him by Qin Bore's side, the Divine Phoenix Group will only grow stronger."

Lin Yun'er stood to the side, her face full of admiration.

Lin Yun'er's gaze at Lin Yuan sparkled with light, and she murmured to herself:

Lin Yuan, hah, he's really interesting. He actually managed to save Du Jie…… What a pity, such an interesting man, but he's been taken by the Miss, sigh…… otherwise I could still pursue him.

Just then, Uncle Wang's voice rang out again over the phone.

Qin Bore! How is my young master?

Qin Bore held the phone, impatiently saying, "Rest assured, he's revived."

On the other end of the phone, Uncle Wang snapped, "Let him hear the phone! I need to personally confirm his safety!"

Qin Bore's tone was cold, without a single unnecessary word, she directly handed the phone to Du Jie's ear, calmly saying:

"Say a word to your Uncle Wang, let him rest assured, you're still alive."

Du Jie trembled as he raised his hand, with difficulty taking the phone.

Du Jie's fingertips…… turned slightly white from the effort.

Du Jie spoke toward the other end of the phone, his voice somewhat trembling and weak, he whispered: "Uncle Wang……"

On the other end of the phone, Uncle Wang, hearing Du Jie's voice, instantly let out a sigh of relief.

Uncle Wang's tone grew even more anxious, he hurriedly asked:

"Young master! Are you alright?! How are you? Any injuries? Did that woman Qin Bore be harsh on you?"

Du Jie's hand holding the phone trembled slightly, he endured the intense pain throughout his body, his voice still weak.

Du Jie, toward the other end of the phone…… whispered: "Uncle Wang…… I'm fine, don't worry, I'm still alive."

He dared not speak more of his injuries, fearing Uncle Wang might act impulsively and provoke Qin Bore again, ending up bringing harm upon himself.

Qin Bore moved the phone away.

Du Jie lifted his gaze to Qin Bore, his eyes holding a hint of cautious probing,

Du Jie's tone was humble:

"President Qin, the money…… money you've already received, now can you let me go?"

At this moment he only wanted to quickly escape this nightmare, and never again have any involvement with Qin Bore and Lin Yuan.

Qin Bore, hearing this, curled her lips, her tone full of disdain and nonchalance, she waved her hand and said lightly:

"Please go."

In her view, Du Jie had lost his threat, keeping him was useless; since the money was already in hand, letting him go was fine.

Anyway, after this threat, the Shangqing Group wouldn't dare provoke them again easily.

Having obtained Qin Bore's permission, Du Jie felt as if pardoned, and hurriedly struggled to get up from the ground.

But Du Jie's injuries were too severe; as soon as he steadied himself, he staggered.

He could only limp toward the outside of the plaza……

With each step Du Jie took, the pain from his wounds…… made him involuntarily suck in a breath of cold air.

He also feared Qin Bore might suddenly go back on her word and kill him.

Du Jie left anxiously, his appearance disheveled, no trace of the dignity of the Shangqing Group's young master remained.

When he reached the plaza gate, Du Jie stopped, slowly turning around.

Du Jie's gaze…… fell upon Lin Yuan.

Du Jie's face no longer bore his former arrogance and hatred; in its place…… was a hint of sincere gratitude.

Du Jie, slightly nodding to Lin Yuan, spoke weakly:

"Little brother, today I thank you for your life-saving grace; this favor, I, Du Jie, keep in my heart, and will surely repay it handsomely in the future."

"If not for Lin Yuan, he would already be a cold corpse; this life-saving favor, he cannot deny."

Moreover, Du Jie also developed the thought of winning Lin Yuan over……

Having said that, Du Jie lingered no longer, enduring the pain, he limped faster, disappearing from everyone's sight, leaving only a disheveled back.

After Du Jie left, Qin Bore lifted her gaze…… sweeping over the Divine Phoenix Group employees present.

At the corner of her red lips, a faint smile curled.

Qin Bore loudly announced:

"Today's battle, everyone worked hard; to reward everyone, I decide to take part of this 100 billion funds and give bonuses to all Divine Phoenix Group employees present, each receiving 5 million, not a cent less!"

As her words fell, the Divine Phoenix Group employees present instantly erupted, each face full of surprise, they cheered excitedly.

"What? 5 million bonus per person?! President Qin is so generous!"

"Thank you, President Qin! From now on we will surely follow you unto death!"

The cheers rose and fell, spreading throughout the Goddess Bar.

Everyone was immersed in the joy of receiving the huge bonus.

Lin Yuan stood to the side, watching the cheering, leaping employees, he also unconsciously showed a smile.

Lin Yuan secretly thought to himself, this time he had rendered great service.

He had saved Du Jie, helped Qin Bore resolve the crisis, the bonus should certainly not be small.

Qin Bore then began transferring funds on the spot.

The 5 million bonus, Qin Bore via online banking transferred one by one to the members' company cards.

But after the employees had all received their bonuses,

Lin Yuan then realized, everyone had gotten the 5 million bonus, only he, got nothing??

Lin Yuan's smile froze instantly, his eyes full of surprise and doubt.

Lin Yuan unconsciously glanced at Qin Bore, silently wondering to himself:

"What's going on? Did you forget to give me? Or is it that I did something poorly, and President Qin deliberately didn't give me?"

Noticing Lin Yuan's gaze, Qin Bore slowly walked up to him.

Qin Bore's face showed no ripple, she patted Lin Yuan's shoulder.

Qin Bore's voice was flat……yet carried a hint of solemnity as she said:

"Lin Yuan, this time you have rendered great merit, saving Du Jie and also helping the Divine Phoenix Group resolve the crisis of the Shangqing Group; your contribution is indispensable. I intend to allocate to you 1% of the shares of the Divine Phoenix Group, and after five years……you will be able to lift the restriction and cash out."

As soon as these words were spoken, the cheers of those present stopped instantly, and everyone was stunned.

The joy on everyone's faces gradually gave way to astonishment.

Immediately afterward, the crowd began to whisper among themselves.

"What? Give 1% of the shares? General Manager Qin is being too overbearing, huh? But why can't we cash out until after five years??"

"Exactly, Lin Yuan has indeed rendered great merit—not only did he save Du Jie, he also employed the Mingzhen Technique to reverse life and death, helping General Manager Qin stabilize the situation; yet he received no monetary reward at all, only a stock equity as empty as a bad check—who knows what will happen in five years?"

The senior figures of the old-school faction at the bar entrance also furrowed their brows, their eyes full of surprise.

The senior figures of the old-school faction muttered to themselves:

Qin Bore's maneuver is really too puzzling.

For Lin Yuan's such great merit, not to mention giving a reward of billions, at the very least a substantial sum of cash should be given; instead they give him equity that can only be cashed out after five years—this is clearly stingy.

Lin Yun'er stood to the side, shaking her head helplessly.

Others might not understand the young lady's intention.

But Lin Yun'er knows.

The young lady is planning to completely bind Lin Yuan to her.

Lin Yuan looked at Qin Bore; the astonishment in his eyes gradually faded, and although he felt a bit helpless inside, he did not complain overly.

He knew Qin Bore's temperament; since she said that, there was no room for negotiation.

But Lin Yuan, in his heart……inevitably muttered, whether that 1% share can actually be cashed out after five years remains an unknown.

Just as the murmurs in the venue gradually subsided, the senior figures of the old-school faction at the bar entrance finally stepped forward slowly.

Taking the lead, Zhaojun put on a cautious smile, spoke up proactively, and explained to Qin Bore:

"Miss Qin, regarding the conflict just now, we truly are sorry; we did not intentionally withhold support, but the incident happened suddenly, we momentarily failed to coordinate manpower, and we feared that rushing forward would only cause you trouble, so please forgive us, Miss Qin."

Long Jianyi also hurriedly echoed, his tone carrying a hint of flattery:

"Yes, Miss Qin, we also have our difficulties; the Shangqing Group is immensely powerful, and if we act rashly we risk drawing fire upon ourselves and implicating the entire old-school alliance, so please understand."

The few of them exchanged words, seeking various excuses to try to cover up the fact that they had just stood by idly, their eyes full of embarrassment and unease.

Upon hearing this, Qin Bore's lips curled into a faint sneer.

Qin Bore's eyes……held not a ripple; her mind was as clear as a mirror.

She knew all too well the thoughts of these old-school powers.

The so-called alliance was merely a fig leaf of interest‑binding; when disaster struck, each only thought of self‑preservation and fleeing, with no trace of shared fate.

Usually, when these old-school powers encounter trouble, each of them comes to her, Qin Bore, at the first opportunity to have her mediate.

Many crises of the old-school faction have been resolved by relying on the power of the Divine Phoenix Group.

They are present, hoping to reap the benefits of the fisherman's gain;

but when it is her, Qin Bore, who falls into peril and is besieged by the new faction and the Shangqing Group……

these people……instead hide at a distance to watch, not daring to utter a word of support, fearing involvement.

This old-school faction, behaving in such a fawning, selfish manner, has long caused the so‑called alliance to completely collapse.

Qin Bore couldn't be bothered to waste words on them; her tone was cold, carrying a hint of unwillingness to tolerate dissent.

Qin Bore waved her hand at the few of them and said lightly:

"It's getting late, everyone, please go back. Today is the opening day of the Goddess Bar; the inside is already full, with few seats reserved, so we won't be entertaining you."
