Chapter 92: Targeted by the Extremist Dao Heiress

These road spike nails can completely puncture the car's tires.

Lin Yuan's expression turned grim; he couldn't worry about that anymore and slammed the accelerator!

"Whoa……!" the Mercedes-Benz S600 sedan burst forth with a surge of power!

The entire vehicle instantly accelerated and shot forward!

But at the instant the Mercedes-Benz's four wheels ran over the road spike nails, all four tires were punctured simultaneously!

The tires blew out!

The Mercedes-Benz collided with several BMW sedans ahead! The Mercedes-Benz was stopped on the spot!

At that moment, dozens of suit-clad members surged forward from all sides, blocking off the Mercedes-Benz.

"Get out!" the suit-clad members shouted angrily!

Each member gripped a weapon in hand.

Lin Yuan's expression turned grim; seeing no escape, he could only open the door and get out.

"Changsheng Group?! When will you guys quit?!" Lin Yuan glanced at the crowd of Changsheng Association members and snapped coldly.

Even an honest person has a temper.

Lin Yuan had been repeatedly harassed by the Changsheng Association, and he was truly furious.

At that moment, the suit-clad members made way, opening a path.

Only a young man in a black suit slowly stepped forward.

This young man's appearance bore a faint resemblance to Chang Jinghe.

"Are you Lin Yuan?" the young man approached Lin Yuan and asked slowly.

"It's me! Who are you?!" Lin Yuan demanded coldly.

The young man had a cigar in his mouth and said slowly, "Changsheng Group, Chang Tao. Chang Jinghe is my father."

Lin Yuan's face tightened?

This young man, is he Chang Jinghe's son?? The Young Master of Changsheng Group??

"Young Master Chang? You intercepted my car—what do you want?" Lin Yuan asked coldly.

Chang Tao said coldly, "Last night I heard you used a broken beer bottle to slash my father's throat? My father can swallow that insult, but I, Chang Tao, cannot."

Lin Yuan's expression tightened—this Young Master of Changsheng Group, is he here to avenge his father??

"Young Master Chang, what do you want then?"

Chang Tao sneered, "I have only one demand: you must cut a blood opening on your own neck, deep enough—at least one centimeter deep. Cut the wound, and I'll let you go."

Upon hearing that, Lin Yuan's expression turned cold! This!

Cutting a one-centimeter-deep wound on his neck, that injury could possibly reach the trachea!

If an ordinary person's neck were cut to a depth of one centimeter, even if they didn't die, they'd be at death's door!

This Chang Tao is demanding half of Lin Yuan's life!

"Young Master Chang, I thought last night's incident should have settled things. Yet you keep pursuing revenge against me, endlessly nagging—when will this grudge ever be resolved?" Lin Yuan said, suppressing his anger.

Chang Tao's mouth curled in a cold smile, "It'll be settled when you're dead."

"I'm an employee of the Goddess Bar; if something happens to me, the Goddess Boss won't let you off." Lin Yuan said, clenching his fists.

Chang Tao smiled even more amusedly, "How? Are you scared? All you can do is flaunt that Goddess Boss title of yours?"

Chang Tao twisted his right hand, and a tiny fruit knife slid out from his sleeve.

The fruit knife spun lightly in his palm, "Lin Yuan, will you do it yourself, or shall I help you? Decide quickly—my time is precious."

Lin Yuan stared at Chang Tao; suddenly, Lin Yuan thrust his hand upward!

In a flash, Lin Yuan struck out and grabbed Chang Tao's right hand.

"Crack!" came the sound of a dislocated wrist—Chang Tao's wrist was dislocated, and Lin Yuan seized the fruit knife.

In an instant, Lin Yuan pressed the fruit knife against Chang Tao's neck.

In the blink of an eye—about four seconds—Lin Yuan completed the counter-hostage maneuver.

Chang Tao shifted from his earlier amusement to a cold, furious fury.

"Outrageous! Release our young master!!" The surrounding Changsheng Group thugs also flew into a rage, shouting angrily.

Lin Yuan held the fruit knife to Chang Tao's neck, coldly scanning the surroundings, "Tell your people to step back, or… I'll cut his throat right now. I mean what I say."

Lin Yuan deeply understood one principle: strike first.

This Chang Tao is so brazen; today he wants to slit Lin Yuan's throat.

Lin Yuan knew he probably couldn't escape this ordeal, so he struck first!

Anyway, he'd already forged a grudge with the Changsheng Group; one more enemy wouldn't matter.

"Ding-ling-ling!" At that very moment, Lin Yuan's phone rang.

It was a call from Su Monong.

Lin Yuan, while holding Chang Tao hostage, picked up his phone and answered.

"Lin Yuan, it's already 8:30 a. m.; why aren't you at my place yet? If you don't come now, you'll be late!" came Su Monong's icy voice from the other end.

Previously, Lin Yuan would always arrive at Lucheng Meiguyuan Bieshu before 8 a. m. sharp, picking up Director Su on time to go to work.

But today, it's already 8:30, and Lin Yuan still hasn't reached Director Su's home.

Only then did Su Monong call to question him.

"Director Su, sorry, I had a minor car accident on the road; I'll come over after I clear the scene." Lin Yuan said, making an excuse while holding the phone.

On the other end, Su Monong blinked at the words, "A car accident? How serious?"

Lin Yuan shook his head, "Not serious; I'll take care of it right away. Director Su, please wait a moment……"

From the other end, Su Monong said coldly, "No need to wait; I'll take my daughter's car to work. After you finish handling the accident, come straight to the office!"

After saying that, Su Monong hung up the phone.

Lin Yuan put his phone back in his pocket, and he continued to hold Chang Tao hostage.

"Young Master Chang, I don't want to provoke you, nor do I want to hurt you. Have your men step back, and I'll release you. From now on, we'll stay out of each other's way, okay?" Lin Yuan asked coldly.

Chang Tao laughed, a sinister, cold laugh: "You're just an ant—do you think you're qualified to negotiate with me? I advise you to put down the knife and let me go now, or your fate will be miserable."

At that moment, the members of the Changsheng Society all drew their knives.

Each blade gleamed with a cold light, exuding killing intent.

Lin Yuan's expression changed; today might not end well!

Chang Tao clearly had no intention of letting him go.

"Young Master Chang, I could slit your father's throat yesterday, and I can slit yours today. I don't want to be your enemy; I hope you'll have your men withdraw. Let's each take a step back today. But if you insist on pressing me, don't blame me for fighting to the death. Trading my lowly life for yours, the Young Master of the Changsheng Group, I don't think that's a loss." Lin Yuan continued to hold him, speaking coldly.

Hearing this, Chang Tao's face grew even colder and grim.

This damned thing!

Chang Tao has roamed Hangcheng for so many years—how many underworld figures see him and give him some respect?

This is the first time Chang Tao has stumbled at the hands of that damned Lin Yuan!

Lin Yuan gives him no face at all!

"You want to die together? Do you dare?" Chang Tao gritted his teeth.

Lin Yuan replied coldly, "What is there not to dare?"

Saying this, Lin Yuan exerted a little more force with the knife in his hand.

The skin on Chang Tao's neck was instantly nicked.

A sting of icy pain shot through him, and Chang Tao's pupils contracted at that moment.

"You bastard! Release our young master! If a single hair on his head is harmed, you won't leave this street alive!" the Changsheng Society's thugs around them shouted angrily.

The situation reached a stalemate!

Just then, suddenly in the distance… another convoy appeared.

A whole fleet of BMW cars came speeding over.

Dozens of BMW cars braked and stopped in front of Lin Yuan and Chang Tao.

A group of black-suited members got out of the cars and respectfully opened the door of the central BMW.

A black high-heeled shoe stepped out slowly.

Immediately after, a stunningly beautiful figure appeared.

She wore a black suit, black stiletto heels, and her long legs were like a work of art.

The woman had black hair draped over her shoulders, and her visage was coldly gorgeous.

"Heh, the illustrious Young Master of the Changsheng Group actually called a bunch of lackeys to bully the few and ended up being held hostage? Chang Tao… have you been wasting your years in the jianghu?" the black-clad woman said in an icy voice.

Seeing the woman appear, Chang Tao's expression shifted: "Zhao Yuyan? What are you doing here? What business do you have with us?"

Lin Yuan, upon seeing the woman, was also startled?

This woman, Lin Yuan felt somewhat familiar—hadn't she appeared outside the Changsheng Group building last night?

Last night, Lin Yuan recalled…… this woman was standing among the crowd of the old-school societies.

She must be a member of the old-school faction as well?

Last night, she also appeared, backing up Lin Yuan.

Who would have thought that this mysterious woman would appear again today?

"Chang Tao, Lin Yuan is a friend of my Nine Honors International. If you lay a finger on him, you're opposing my Nine Honors International. Want to try?" Zhao Yuyan said, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly.

Lin Yuan's expression tightened upon hearing that?

Nine Honors International?

Lin Yuan had heard An Yunxi explain yesterday…… that Nine Honors International seemed to be one of the old-line jianghu societies, with considerable background.

Is this Zhao Yuyan a member of Nine Honors International?

Chang Tao's expression shifted abruptly: "Zhao Yuyan, are you here to back up that damned bastard?"

"He's a bastard? Then you, being held hostage by him, aren't even as good as a dog," Zhao Yuyan said coldly.

"You…!" Chang Tao trembled with rage!

"Chang Tao, if you don't want things to blow up, then take your men and get lost. Otherwise, my Nine Honors International doesn't mind clashing with you. Besides, Hangcheng hasn't seen a conflict in a long time. I'm also curious just how strong your Changsheng Group really is." Zhao Yuyan said in an icy voice.

Chang Tao's expression hardened.

The time isn't right yet; his Changsheng Society is still courting various new factions, and it's not yet time to go to war.

So Chang Tao still doesn't dare to act against Zhao Yuyan.

Chang Tao gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, we're leaving!"

Only then did Lin Yuan release Chang Tao.

Chang Tao, face full of fury, led his men straight to the cars.

"Young Master Chang, here's your knife back." Lin Yuan stepped forward and handed Chang Tao his fruit knife.

Chang Tao snatched the fruit knife away with a snarl, "You bastard, today you got lucky—I'll let you off for now. The jianghu road is long, and ours will be even longer. You'd better watch your step, or you'll end up in my hands."

Lin Yuan replied coldly, "Young Master Chang, thanks for the warning—I'll be careful. Besides, your father already said the same thing last night; you don't need to repeat it."

"Pfft!" Zhao Yuyan, unable to hold back any longer, burst out laughing.

When she laughed, her appearance was absolutely beautiful, capable of toppling nations.

Chang Tao glared at Zhao Yuyan with malice: "And you, Zhao Yuyan—I hope your Nine Honors International doesn't go bankrupt!"

Having said that, Chang Tao then drove off……

Lin Yuan dusted off his clothes, stepped forward, and thanked her: "Miss, thank you for helping me out of the siege."

"I have a name—I'm Zhao Yuyan." Zhao Yuyan stared at Lin Yuan with her beautiful eyes, full of meaning.

"Um, Miss Zhao, hello, thank you." Lin Yuan corrected himself.

"No need to thank me, it's just a small effort." Zhao Yuyan said with a light smile.

"Miss Zhao, last night… at Changsheng Group, I recall you were also there?" Lin Yuan asked curiously, "May I ask, Miss Zhao, about Nine Honors International?"

Zhao Yuyan replied calmly, "The person who spoke up for you last night was my father. He's the chairman of Nine Honors International."

Lin Yuan was startled upon hearing that.

This woman, though she looks refined and pure, turns out to be a true underworld heiress.

Zhaojun is her father?

Last night, Zhaojun stepped forward several times to help Lin Yuan out of his predicament. He even helped Lin Yuan scold Chang Jinghe a few times.

Lin Yuan still remembers that.

"So you're the daughter of Nine Honors International; thank you last night for your father speaking up for me." Lin Yuan expressed his thanks again solemnly.

"Since my father and I have helped you greatly, how do you plan to thank us?" Zhao Yuyan asked meaningfully.

Lin Yuan thought and said, "I, Lin Yuan, owe you two a favor. If you ever need me, Miss Zhao, just call me—I'll definitely come!"

Zhao Yuyan pursed her lips and said, "I don't believe such vague talk; can you be more specific?"

"Um..." Lin Yuan felt a bit embarrassed, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

"Miss Zhao, I… mainly I don't have much money either… I'm just a low-level employee at a company. What do you want me to do? Or what do you want? Tell me, and I'll do whatever I, Lin Yuan, can." Lin Yuan scratched his head.

This is indeed a bit embarrassing; a man without money can't speak firmly.

Zhao Yuyan sized up Lin Yuan with her beautiful eyes, full of meaning.

She suddenly leaned close to Lin Yuan and then lowered her voice.

"I want you… to join my Nine Honors International."

Lin Yuan was taken aback, stepping back two steps. "Um, Miss Zhao… this… isn't appropriate. I'm already an employee at Goddess Bar."

At that moment he could smell a pleasant fragrance from Zhao Yuyan, which made his heart flutter a little.

Zhao Yuyan chuckled lightly, "What's there to fear? Straddling two boats—you can work at Goddess Bar and join my Nine Honors International; there's no conflict."

Lin Yuan shook his head. "Um… I need to discuss this with Sister An first. I can't just agree to you outright. Sorry…"

Lin Yuan knew the rules of the martial world; the martial world most despises those who straddle two boats.

Once you enter the martial world, you must value righteousness. Since you've joined one group, you can't join another.

This is loyalty to the group, and also loyalty to the boss.

"Fine, then think about it." Zhao Yuyan pursed her lips.

She knew the hope for this wasn't high.

But she wasn't in a hurry; she could gradually win people's hearts. Lin Yuan, this capable aide, she Zhao Yuyan had already secured.

Although her father disagreed, Zhao Yuyan's actions were more direct than his.

She was planning to poach the cornerstone of the Goddess.

"By the way, your car is wrecked. Call the insurance company to tow it. I'll take you to the company." Zhao Yuyan said.

Lin Yuan nodded. "Then thank you, Miss Zhao."

Lin Yuan followed Zhao Yuyan into the car.

He found it strange—why do these martial world gangs all like to drive BMW sedans?

The members of the Changsheng Society drive BMW cars.

Zhao Yuyan's people also drive BMW sedans?

That really is quite strange.

……

Along the way, Zhao Yuyan's BMW 7 Series sedan drove slowly through the streets.

As for those lackeys behind, they've already gone back.

"Lin Yuan, how old are you?" Zhao Yuyan asked, seated in the car, with meaning.

"Me? 28 years old." Lin Yuan replied.

"You're not from Hangcheng, right?" Zhao Yuyan asked again.

"Yeah, not. I'm from Yue Zhou." Lin Yuan said.

"Have you been dating?" Zhao Yuyan continued.

"Eh?" Lin Yuan blinked?? This Miss Zhao… why suddenly ask this??

"I dated someone before, but we broke up." Lin Yuan replied.

"Oh, single—being single is good, heh… someone with your skills isn't suited for dating. Unless you find a woman just as capable as you, otherwise she won't be able to handle you." Zhao Yuyan said lightly.

Lin Yuan nodded, his face full of embarrassment.

At that moment, the BMW sedan had already arrived at the gate of Su Group.

"Miss Zhao, I've arrived—I'll be going now, thanks for the ride." Lin Yuan bade farewell to Zhao Yuyan and was about to open the door to get out.

"Wait, let's add each other on WeChat." Zhao Yuyan said, proactively opening her WeChat QR code for Lin Yuan to add.

Lin Yuan added her as a friend, then opened the door and got out.

But just as Lin Yuan got out, a red Ferrari came roaring, braking to a stop beside him.

Inside the Ferrari's passenger seat, Su Monong also opened the door and got out.

Su Monong also rode in her daughter's sports car, just arriving downstairs at the company.

As it happened, she ran into Lin Yuan right downstairs at the company.

"Lin Yuan, have you finished handling the accident? Is the car badly damaged?" Su Monong asked after getting out of the car. She also found it strange—how did Lin Yuan end up riding in an unfamiliar BMW sedan?

Su Monong suddenly glanced and saw the stunningly beautiful woman sitting inside the BMW.

At that moment, Zhao Yuyan also saw Su Monong outside the car.

Zhao Yuyan lightly nodded, smiling as a signal.

"Lin Yuan, who is this?" Su Monong asked doubtfully.

"Ah? She... she is..." Lin Yuan didn't know how to explain for a moment.

He couldn't possibly tell Director Su that this Zhao Yuyan is an Underworld heiress, could he?

If Su Monong found out that Lin Yuan was getting so close to Underworld members... his job would probably be in jeopardy.

Su Monong had reminded him repeatedly not to get involved with the Underworld.

"Um, she's my blind date!" Lin Yuan casually made up an excuse.

"Blind date??" Su Monong looked at him suspiciously with her beautiful eyes, then also glanced at the pretty little girl inside the car???

Inside the BMW, Zhao Yuyan heard this, her pretty face froze, and she was also dazed??

Meanwhile, inside the Ferrari, Su Zhiyuan heard this, angry enough to directly get out of the car and rush over.

"Lin Yuan, you bastard! You're still going on blind dates?! Who is it!" Su Zhiyuan rushed over in anger.

She wanted to see which clueless woman dared to compete with Su Zhiyuan for a man!!
