Chapter 757: Undercover Mission

Lin Yuan jerked back to his senses, instinctively shaking his head.

His tone……carried a hint of stubbornness and resistance as he said firmly:

"I won't drink."

He despised being ordered around like this from the bottom of his heart.

Moreover, it was being ordered by a woman who was fickle and kept teasing him.

Even if that woman was the goddess in his heart.

Lin Yuan also refused to let go of his stubbornness, allowing her to have her way with him.

Qin Bore's smile faded a bit, her exquisite face slowly drawing near.

Qin Bore's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, her tone carrying a hint of dangerous teasing, plus an irresistible pressure:

"Huh? Stupid pup, aren't you listening to your master again? Are you drinking or not?"

Lin Yuan met her gaze, showing no hesitation, still firmly shaking his head and repeating:

"No."

A hint of amusement flickered in Qin Bore's eyes.

The corner of her mouth……curled into a bewitching smile, her tone suddenly turning soft and alluring, with a hint of teasing:

"Then how about I, your master, feed you with my mouth?"

Saying that, she gave Lin Yuan no chance to refuse, actively picking up the wine glass on the table.

Qin Bore……took a large sip.

She held the wine in her mouth, her red lips slightly puffed, glistening with the liquid, making her look even more charming and alluring.

Immediately after, she slowly leaned in, step by step approaching Lin Yuan.

The distance between them……was so close they could feel each other's breath.

In Qin Bore's eyes, which held the wine, there was full of teasing and anticipation, her gaze locked tightly on Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan was completely dazed, his pupils contracting sharply, his mind going blank.

Lin Yuan's heartbeat instantly went haywire, frantically pounding in his chest.

This? This is actually allowed?

He looked at Qin Bore's exquisite face up close, skin delicate, brows and eyes like a painting, beautiful enough to take one's breath away…

The tip of Lin Yuan's nose……was entwined with her fragrant scent and the mellow aroma of the wine.

All of this made Lin Yuan's body go stiff, his breathing becoming rapid and scorching.

At this moment, Lin Yuan was completely dazed, his mind in chaos, nothing left but Qin Bore's exquisite face and the impending scene…

Lin Yuan, even his ability to think had vanished.

He instinctively swallowed, his throat convulsing, an unbidden thought rose in his heart:

Her lips must be sweet.

Lin Yuan realized, such treatment would be considered an unprecedented blessing for any man…

No matter how stubborn he was, he couldn't resist such temptation.

After hesitating for no more than a second, Lin Yuan unconsciously gave a slight nod.

He himself didn't even notice that action.

His inner resistance……had long been replaced by panic and fluttering.

Qin Bore, holding the wine in her mouth, slowly approached Lin Yuan, her exquisite red lips within touching distance.

Lin Yuan's heartbeat raced……almost bursting his chest.

Lin Yuan's eyes fixed tightly on her lips, he subconsciously held his breath, even his fingertips trembling slightly.

But just as, her red lips……were about to touch Lin Yuan.

Qin Bore, however, suddenly paused, tilted her head slightly, and swallowed the wine she had held in her mouth…

Immediately after, Qin Bore let out a soft "puchi" laugh.

Her brows and eyes curved, her gaze full of teasing and mischief.

"Stupid pup, your master was just joking with you."

Her voice……was soft and alluring, with a hint of pride.

Qin Bore's fingertip……lightly tapped Lin Yuan's forehead,

"Do you really want to eat your master's saliva? You're dreaming."

Saying that, Qin Bore gave him a lingering, sideways glance with her beautiful eyes.

The charm and playfulness in her gaze intertwined like an invisible hook, instantly catching Lin Yuan's heart, almost stealing his soul.

Lin Yuan stood frozen in place, feeling both ashamed and embarrassed inside.

Lin Yuan silently cursed: a fairy, this woman is practically the ancestor of all fairies! She toyed with him till he spun around, yet he couldn't bring himself to get angry at her.

Only now did Lin Yuan realize he had long been hooked by Qin Bore's every move… left with a smug grin.

At this moment, Lin Yuan let her have her way, not even a trace of resistance arising.

To break this embarrassment and panic, Lin Yuan coughed sharply, his eyes darting away, not daring to meet Qin Bore's gaze, his cheeks still burning.

Qin Bore looked at his flustered state, her smile deepening.

Qin Bore didn't continue teasing him.

Qin Bore turned and walked to the main seat, sat down, picked up her utensils, and elegantly continued eating the delicacies on the table, as if the earlier teasing had never happened.

Lin Yuan took a while to recover before suppressing the panic and fluttering inside.

Watching Qin Bore's composed demeanor, his doubts grew stronger and stronger.

Lin Yuan, finally unable to hold back, asked: "Qin Bore, why are you hiding this from me?"

Qin Bore's hand movement paused slightly, and she lifted her eyes to look at him.

A hint of doubt flashed in Qin Bore's eyes, and she casually countered:

"What are you hiding from me?"

Lin Yuan took a deep breath, his gaze firm as he looked at her, and said word by word:

"Why didn't you tell me you're the Goddess? You're the Phoenix God?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Bore curled the corner of her mouth into a bewitching smile.

Qin Bore's eyes were full of teasing, and she said lightly:

"Aren't you surprised? Aren't you unexpected? This is the surprise your master prepared for you."

Seeing her act as if it were natural, Lin Yuan's helplessness and dissatisfaction surged up instantly.

Lin Yuan retorted unhappily: "It's fright, not surprise."

Hearing this, Qin Bore could no longer hold back and burst into giggles.

Her laughter was clear and pleasant, her brows and eyes curved, absolutely beautiful and moving.

Her aura softened somewhat, and she completely failed to notice the anger in Lin Yuan's eyes.

Seeing her utterly unaware, Lin Yuan's pent-up emotions erupted completely.

This was the first time he had lost his temper in front of Qin Bore.

Lin Yuan's voice was full of anger:

"Do you think this is fun?"

He clenched his fists, his chest heaving violently, and accused word by word:

"Do you know that in order to repay you for the bar, I even took out online loans?!"

Qin Bore's laughter gradually subsided, but the teasing on her face did not diminish in the slightest.

She tilted her head, her tone casual with a hint of playfulness, and said softly:

"Because I think you're very interesting."

Hearing Qin Bore's offhand reply, Lin Yuan's anger flared even more.

He could no longer suppress his anger, and he slammed the chopsticks in his hand onto the dining table.

With a crisp 'crack', the silence of the private room was broken.

Lin Yuan gritted his teeth and said: "I quit!"

Qin Bore lifted her eyes to glance at him, the teasing on her face undiminished.

Qin Bore's tone was casual… yet carried an irresistible force as she uttered four words lightly:

"I refuse."

Lin Yuan trembled with rage, his eyes fixed on Qin Bore.

His voice full of stubbornness and unwillingness: "I must resign; can you still stop me?"

Qin Bore set down her utensils, the corner of her mouth curling into a playful yet cold smile.

Qin Bore spoke slowly, reminding him word by word:

"Don't forget, you owe me a contract requiring ten years of work. That's your slave contract; from the moment you signed it, you've already sold yourself to me, your master."

She leaned slightly forward, her eyes full of dominance, her tone carrying a hint of seductive oppression:

"You are now my slave; whether you want to work or not, you cannot escape."

Lin Yuan was so infuriated by her words that he could not speak, only gritting his teeth and snarling:

"Crazy."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Lin Yuan sprang to his feet.

He no longer glanced at Qin Bore, turned and headed straight for the private room's door…

Lin Yuan slammed the door and quickly left the presidential suite…

He walked straight out of the Four Seasons Hotel.

Qin Bore sat in her seat, watching Lin Yuan's angrily retreating back, a flash of cunning light in her eyes.

The corner of Qin Bore's mouth curled up with a faint smile, and she whispered softly:

"Ha, resign? Can you escape my grasp? Sooner or later I'll turn you into my exclusive male Amour, making you wholeheartedly… become a person."

…

Night fell gradually, the city shrouded in brilliant lights.

Lin Yuan, filled with anger and unwillingness, walked aimlessly down the street.

His mind repeatedly replayed Qin Bore's words, as well as that… ten-year contract that he could not break free from.

Just then, Lin Yuan's phone suddenly vibrated with a message from an unknown number—it was Mu Lingxue.

Mu Lingxue sent Lin Yuan a message, asking him to come to the hotel.

The hotel was their secret meeting place.

Mu Lingxue had earlier opened a concealed room at the Hilton Hotel, entering first to wait.

After confirming safety, she sent the room number to Lin Yuan.

On WeChat, Mu Lingxue added a reminder: "Come quickly, sneak in, don't let anyone discover you, to prevent underground forces from noticing our collusion."

Upon seeing the message, Lin Yuan's eyes instantly turned solemn.

Lin Yuan suppressed his emotions, carefully avoiding passersby's gazes as he arrived at the Hilton Hotel entrance.

Standing at the hotel entrance, Lin Yuan scanned his surroundings, confirming no one was following and no suspicious personnel were present.

Lin Yuan quickly entered the Hilton Hotel.

Following the room number Mu Lingxue gave him, Lin Yuan gently pushed open the door, ensuring he wasn't being followed.

The room's lighting was soft; Mu Lingxue sat on the bedside, her expression solemn.

Mu Lingxue saw Lin Yuan enter and immediately stood up, gesturing for him to close the door.

Mu Lingxue lowered her voice a bit and said solemnly, 'Sit down; I have something to ask you.'

Lin Yuan sat down as instructed, looking at Mu Lingxue's stern expression, already understanding her purpose in his heart.

Indeed, Mu Lingxue spoke first, asking directly:

"What exactly happened in the conflict at Goddess Bar 3 Store a few days ago? Tell me in detail."

Lin Yuan did not conceal anything…

As a police undercover agent, Lin Yuan knew some things cannot be hidden.

He told Mu Lingxue everything about the Goddess Bar 3 Store conflict—the causes, consequences, participants… and Qin Bore's actions therein—in full detail, omitting nothing.

After hearing Lin Yuan's account, Mu Lingxue furrowed her brows tightly, her expression growing even more solemn.

Mu Lingxue said slowly, 'It seems the jianghu conflicts are about to begin. The New Faction probably can't sit still.'

Mu Lingxue paused, then continued:

"I've received word from secret informants that the New Faction has been secretly mobilizing troops, their movements mysterious; they appear to be preparing something big. While you're in the society, you must be extra careful and absolutely not expose your identity."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan's expression hardened.

Lin Yuan nodded solemnly, 'I understand.'

Immediately afterward, Mu Lingxue looked at Lin Yuan with a firm gaze.

Mu Lingxue's tone turned serious as she began to assign the mission.

"Lin Yuan, I need you to continue lying low in the society, closely monitoring the New Faction's movements, helping me find their criminal leads; once we have enough evidence, we can wipe them out in one sweep."

Lin Yuan gazed at Mu Lingxue's eyes, then thought of the jianghu conflicts and Qin Bore's control…

Lin Yuan slowly nodded, his tone solemn: 'I understand; I'll be careful and will surely find you the clues.'

Lin Yuan hesitated a moment, then suddenly said, 'But I will only help you investigate the New Faction Group's affairs; regarding the Divine Phoenix Group, I'm unable to assist.'

Lin Yuan thought of Qin Bore.

He could not bear to investigate Qin Bore.

Because, after all, she is the Goddess he secretly loves.

He did not want to deal with Qin Bore.

Mu Lingxue stared at Lin Yuan, 'Why is the Divine Phoenix Group an exception?'

Lin Yuan sighed and replied, 'The Divine Phoenix Group has done me favors; this is my bottom line.'

Mu Lingxue heard this, her brows slightly relaxed, then immediately furrowed again.

However, Mu Lingxue did not press him.

"All right, the Divine Phoenix Group is an exception," Mu Lingxue replied; she ultimately agreed to Lin Yuan's request.

"Thank you for understanding," Lin Yuan responded, also letting out a sigh of relief.

Mu Lingxue fell silent for a moment, her tone growing even more serious as she solemnly reminded him:

"Lin Yuan, while you're in the underground forces, you must be extremely careful; you must never expose your identity—you are our spy planted inside, and if your identity is leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Mu Lingxue's voice dropped even lower, her eyes full of solemnity:

"If they discover your true identity, you will be in great danger."

"Lately… the Underground Jianghu has been unsettled; many of our police undercover agents have been exposed. I received word that just this month, four undercover agents have been brutally disposed of by them, none surviving."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan's determination on his face instantly solidified.

Lin Yuan's expression hardened, a chill rose in his heart.

He never imagined that being an undercover agent could actually lead to loss of life.

It seems this matter is truly no joke.

Lin Yuan nodded heavily, his tone sinking as he said:

"I understand; I will be extra careful and will absolutely not expose my identity."

Speaking, Lin Yuan instinctively raised his wrist to glance at his watch…

The hands already pointed to 11 o'clock at night.

The night outside the window… grew ever darker.

Lin Yuan spoke softly:

"It's getting late; I'll withdraw first to avoid leaving any trace."

Lin Yuan said, then rose and reached out to open the door.

Mu Lingxue, however, suddenly called out to stop him: 'Wait.'

Lin Yuan's footsteps halted; he turned back to look at her.

All he saw was Mu Lingxue slowly rising to her feet, stepping toward him.

Mu Lingxue's voice… carried a hint of barely perceptible allure as she spoke softly:

"Since you've come tonight, don't waste the hotel room fee~"

Before her words even faded, Mu Lingxue stepped forward, placing her hand on Lin Yuan's shoulder…

She lowered her head… and pressed her lips to Lin Yuan's.

A warm sensation came through; Lin Yuan's whole body stiffened, his mind going blank instantly.

After a moment, Lin Yuan gradually came to his senses.

Mu Lingxue's eyes welled with emotion.

Her voice… carried a hint of hoarseness and emotion as she spoke softly:

"Lin Yuan, I've missed you…… stay, don't go……"

Mu Lingxue slowly loosened her hold on him, her eyes brimming with tenderness……

Her fingertip…… lightly brushed across Lin Yuan's cheek.

Mu Lingxue's tone…… carried a hint of teasing and ambiguity, she said softly:

"Let me see, has your state grain reserve run empty?"
