Chapter 88: Braving the Dragon's Lair Alone!

Lin Yuan was completely dazed, his mind a blank.

At that moment, Xia Man's dagger was still pressed against Lin Yuan's abdomen.

One side was the icy dagger, the other side was the scorching……

It took Lin Yuan a while to react; he shoved Xia Man away.

"Xia Secretary, what are you doing?" Lin Yuan asked coldly.

Xia Man threw away the dagger in her hand, biting her red lip as she said, "Lin Yuan, please, just agree once and come with me to the appointment. Chang Dong told me that if you don't go to the appointment, he will definitely not let me go. Please go this once, just help me."

Xia Man's beautiful eyes looked pitiful, staring straight at Lin Yuan.

One cannot deny, this woman is simply a natural temptress. At this moment, her feigned pitiful look is extremely sexy, making men's hearts race.

But Lin Yuan still refused, saying, "I said I won't go, Xia Secretary, stop pressuring me. I don't want to get involved in Changsheng Group's affairs."

Lin Yuan said, then moved to close the door.

But Xia Man shoved the door open, flashed inside, and slipped straight into Lin Yuan's home.

"Xia Secretary, why are you entering my home? I said I won't go." Lin Yuan said coldly.

Lin Yuan then shoved Xia Man out.

"Lin Yuan, if you don't go, Chang Dong really won't let me off…… Please, just help me once…… As long as you agree to go to the appointment, I can fulfill any of your requests……" Xia Man said, biting her red lip, in a low voice.

She said, slowly taking off her white shirt jacket, "Or, I'll give you my body as compensation…… Is that okay?"

Seeing this, Lin Yuan froze, shaking his head repeatedly, "Xia Secretary, put your clothes on quickly!"

"No, if you don't agree to me, I'll just stay at your doorstep and not leave." Xia Man said with a pitiful look, standing at Lin Yuan's doorstep, beginning to take off her clothes piece by piece.

This scene was incredibly explosive.

As the scene spiraled out of control, Lin Yuan became dazed.

This Xia Secretary is really over the top.

She was taking off her clothes at Lin Yuan's doorstep; if the neighbors saw, wouldn't they misunderstand?

If the goddess landlord saw, Lin Yuan would be unable to explain.

"Ah, hurry up and put on your clothes! Fine, I agree—I'll go, okay?!" Lin Yuan, afraid of being misunderstood by the neighbors, said urgently.

Hearing this, the corner of Xia Man's red lips finally curled up, "Really?"

Lin Yuan nodded, "Really, I'll go to the appointment."

Only then did Xia Man slowly put on her clothes.

"Lin Yuan, thank you for helping me~" Xia Man said with a charming smile, linking her arm with his.

"Then let's go downstairs; my driver's car is already waiting downstairs." Xia Man said.

Lin Yuan hastily pulled his hand back, "Xia Secretary, men and women should not be too intimate; let's not get so close."

Xia Man smiled charmingly and led Lin Yuan downstairs just like that.

Downstairs, the BMW 7 Series had been waiting for a while.

Lin Yuan followed Xia Man into the car.

The driver started the car and slowly drove off……

……

The BMW 7 Series sedan drove slowly on the highway; along the way, Lin Yuan's face grew somewhat solemn.

The Changsheng Association had already sent people multiple times to pester him.

Tonight, Lin Yuan simply took the opportunity to go to Changsheng Group and have a clear talk with the Chairman of Changsheng Group. He did not want to join the Changsheng Association.

So as to avoid them continuing to pester him in the future.

The BMW car slowly drove through the night-lit streets.

Lin Yuan sat in the back seat, together with the female secretary Xia Man.

But at this moment, Xia Man's jade hand slowly reached out toward Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan's body jerked, and he hastily grabbed Xia Man's jade hand.

"Xia Secretary, what are you doing?" Lin Yuan asked warily.

"Hehehe~ Mr. Lin, thank you for giving me face tonight. As repayment, I will reward you well~" Xia Man said, and then……

Damn!

Lin Yuan was scared stiff at that moment!

"No no no! Xia Secretary, you don't need to repay me like that! I don't need it!" Lin Yuan shook his head repeatedly, refusing.

"What? Do you dislike me? Think I'm not pretty?" Xia Secretary blinked her watery beautiful eyes and said.

"No, Xia Secretary, you're very beautiful, but we, we don't need to do this……" Lin Yuan shook his head repeatedly.

Come on, this woman is Chang Jinghe's secretary!

Who dares to touch her?

If he provoked Chang Jinghe, Lin Yuan would feel terrified just thinking about it.

"What are you afraid of? Rest assured, this was ordered by Chang Dong, and it's also a task Chang Dong assigned me." Xia Man said in a soft voice.

Lin Yuan's face changed!

Lin Yuan immediately got up to dodge.

"Mr. Lin, what are you afraid of? Could it be you can't perform?" Xia Man said in a soft voice.

In his panic, Lin Yuan hastily shoved her onto the rear seat.

Lin Yuan then took off his suit jacket.

"Hehehe~ So you like this, huh?" Xia Man chuckled in a soft voice.

But Lin Yuan suddenly used the suit…… to bind Xia Man's both hands.

Lin Yuan was now extremely calm; he directly tied Xia Man's hands to the chair's headrest, and then…… Xia Man's legs were also tied up by him.

By the time Xia Man reacted, it was already too late.

Her delicate body was tightly bound to the chair, unable to move at all.

Lin Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, sat in the chair beside her, and gasped heavily.

"Damn brother…… you, what are you doing tying me up? Why aren't you touching me?" Xia Man finally reacted, speaking softly.

"Secretary Xia, you should calm down~" Lin Yuan said.

Xia Man was completely dazed?

No, she had been so proactive, yet this man actually felt nothing??

Could it be that her charm isn't enough?

At this moment, Xia Man was practically furious.

"Damn brother, sister's been this proactive tonight? You don't want me? Hurry up and let me go…" Xia Man continued to tempt.

But Lin Yuan simply ignored her.

No matter what, Lin Yuan would not touch this woman.

Lin Yuan feared bringing trouble upon himself.

……

Several minutes later, a BMW 7 Series sedan finally entered the Changsheng Group building.

Lin Yuan then pushed the door open and got out.

"Hey, Lin Yuan…… damn brother, won't you help me untie?!" Inside the car, Xia Man shouted angrily.

Lin Yuan then remembered there was still someone in the car.

So Lin Yuan untied her.

After getting out, Xia Man, angry, stomped hard on Lin Yuan's leather shoes with her high heels.

It hurt so much that Lin Yuan grimaced.

"Mr. Lin, please, the Chairman is waiting for you upstairs." Several bodyguards stepped forward respectfully and invited.

Lin Yuan followed the bodyguards upstairs……

……

Changsheng Group building, top floor 40, inside the presidential suite.

At this moment, Chang Jinghe was sitting in the suite's chair, slowly puffing a cigar.

Lin Yuan was brought into the suite.

"Hahaha, Lin Yuan, I've finally managed to invite you; it's really not easy to get you to a meal." Chang Jinghe's lips curled into a smile.

Lin Yuan glanced around the suite; inside, five people were seated.

Chairman Chang Jinghe sat at the head of the table, and on either side of him sat four burly men.

Among them, two men were known to Lin Yuan.

One was the Angry Lion, one of the Four Great War Gods.

The other was the Giant Python, one of the Four Great War Gods.

These two had each been defeated by Lin Yuan.

Now their arm joints had been reset, but their injuries were obviously not fully healed, with bandages still wrapped around their arms.

"Let me introduce them: these four are my Changsheng Group's Four Great War Gods—Angry Lion and Giant Python, whom you've met; and the other two are the Leopard and the Violent Tiger." Chang Jinghe enthusiastically introduced.

Lin Yuan nodded slowly.

Those four war god enforcers also nodded slowly.

However, the four war gods' gazes remained fixed on Lin Yuan, their eyes radiating pressure, as if they regarded him as prey.

"Chang Dong, you went to great trouble tonight to find me—what exactly is the matter?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Xiao Lin brother, come on, let's eat first and chat while we eat." Chang Jinghe warmly greeted Lin Yuan to sit down.

Lin Yuan, helpless, could only follow and take a seat.

"Bring out my good liquor." Chang Jinghe ordered.

Several subordinates quickly brought up a box of precious Moutai to the table.

Lin Yuan glanced at the Moutai's vintage and was somewhat shocked.

This is the 2000, millennium anniversary precious Moutai?

Currently, this bottle of Moutai costs around 200,000 each.

Yet Chang Jinghe brought out an entire box, which is worth millions.

This is truly extravagant.

"Come, pour a drink for Xiao Lin brother; tonight we won't return until we're drunk." Chang Jinghe warmly called out.

Two female servers respectfully poured wine for Lin Yuan.

This bottle of wine alone equals Lin Yuan's two years of salary!

Lin Yuan could only sigh inwardly, these grey-industry underworld folks… really make money.

To spend so extravagantly.

"Come, call the girls up." Chang Jinghe said while drinking.

Soon, a large group of attractive young women walked into the suite.

This, in turn, became a scene of selecting ladies at a nightclub.

"Xiao Lin brother, these girls are all around twenty, tender young things, each lively— which one do you like? Pick any; today these girls will keep us company while we drink." Chang Jinghe said enthusiastically.

Lin Yuan shook his head repeatedly, "Chang Dong, I don't need any girls; I'm not used to it."

Chang Jinghe and the Four Great War Gods each selected several girls, holding the girls in their arms, and drank together.

Seeing that Lin Yuan refused to pick a girl, Chang Jinghe directly snapped his fingers.

A pretty girl smoothly sat down in Lin Yuan's lap.

Lin Yuan's body trembled; he hurriedly pushed the girl away, saying, "Sorry, I'm not used to having women accompany me while drinking."

Chang Jinghe narrowed his eyes, "Xiao Lin brother, just hold the girl I arranged for you. What? You refuse, are you not giving me face?"

Lin Yuan explained, "Chang Dong, I don't mean that; I'm just not used to it."

At that moment, Lin Yuan's phone suddenly rang.

Lin Yuan glanced and saw it was a WeChat call from An Yunxi, the general manager of the Goddess Bar.

Lin Yuan was startled, then answered the call.

"Lin Yuan, why aren't you at the bar for work tonight? It's already nine o'clock—where are you?" An Yunxi asked doubtfully over the WeChat call.

It's already nine o'clock at night, and Lin Yuan still hasn't gone to the bar? He's late.

"An Sis, I'm at the Changsheng Group… Chang Dong has something to discuss with me; I'll come over after we finish." Lin Yuan explained while holding the phone.

Swish—! On the other end of the call, An Yunxi heard this and exclaimed in shock, "What? You're at the Changsheng Group?? Who told you to go to the Changsheng Group?? Are you crazy? Chang Jinghe that guy is a poisonous snake! Don't deal with him! Come back to the bar right away! Don't have any more dealings with him!"

"An Sis…" Lin Yuan was about to reply when suddenly his phone was snatched away by Chang Jinghe.

Chang Jinghe directly threw Lin Yuan's phone into the wine cup.

In an instant, the phone got water damaged and was outright ruined.

"Chang Dong, what do you mean by this?" Lin Yuan's face changed.

"It's just the literal meaning, Xiao Lin brother—don't you understand?" Chang Jinghe narrowed his eyes, fished the phone out of the cup, then suddenly picked up a knife and fork and stabbed it hard into the phone.

Lin Yuan's Xiaomi phone screen was directly pierced.

"Xiao Lin brother, I, Chang, hate it the most when people talk on the phone while eating. Especially when it's with my arch‑enemy. Don't you know I have a grudge against the Goddess Bar?" Chang Jinghe said in a deep, icy voice.

"Chang Dong, I'm originally a member of the Goddess Bar; calling my leader to report is fine, right?" Lin Yuan replied.

Chang Jinghe's mouth curled into a cold smile, "From tonight on, you are no longer a member of the Goddess Bar."

Chang Jinghe said, sliding a bank card across to Lin Yuan.

"Xiao Lin brother, this card contains one million; it's a small welcome gift from me. Join my Changsheng Group, and from now on, work for me." Chang Jinghe said slowly.

Swish—! Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan's face changed.

What?! He just pulls out a million like that?

This Chang Jinghe is way too extravagant.

But Lin Yuan pushed the bank card back.

"Sorry, Chang Dong, I don't want to join the Changsheng Group." Lin Yuan directly refused.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the private room became silent and oppressive.

Chang Jinghe laughed, his smile deep and intriguing, "In this Hangcheng, I, Chang Jinghe, have thrown out a withered branch, and yet no one has ever dared to refuse me."

Lin Yuan replied, "Tonight I have, I refuse."

Chang Jinghe smiled even more intriguingly, "Your courage is indeed great—do you know the consequences of refusing me?"

A killing intent filled the private room.

"I don't know, what consequences?" Lin Yuan countered.

Chang Jinghe said slowly, "The consequence is just like your phone. Are you sure you don't want to reconsider?"

"No." Lin Yuan shook his head again.

Clang—!

Chang Jinghe's knuckles clenched tight, and the wine cup in his hand was crushed!
