The Divine Doctor Captures a Beauty [Complete] - 11

Chapter 214 Drug Resistance Having

never seen anything like this before, Da Shun was terrified, his face ashen. He staggered to his feet and began to tie Tang Gang up with a rope, but Tang Gang didn't dare to move an inch.

"You fucking use your strength!" Leng Rui kicked Da Shun in the buttocks. Da Shun winced in pain, increasing the pressure and tying Tang Gang up tightly.

After finishing, Leng Rui struck Da Shun hard on the back of the head with the butt of his gun. Da Shun didn't even utter a sound before collapsing to the ground, unconscious.

Holding a gun, Leng Rui gave Tang Gang a sinister smile, his eyes flashing with a strange light. He said smugly, "General Manager Tang, you didn't expect to fall into my hands, did you? Haha!"

Tang Gang's face turned ashen, but he looked completely bewildered. He stared coldly at Leng Rui and said in a deep voice, "Leng Rui, can't you at least let me die knowing why? Why weren't you drugged?"

Leng Rui burst into hysterical laughter, then tapped the gun against Tang Gang's head a few times. Tang Gang immediately shrank back in fear, cold sweat pouring down his back.

“Let me tell you! My family has a long-standing tradition of ‘flower-slapping’ techniques. I’ve been immersed in medicine since I was a child. I’ve seen all sorts of sleeping pills, mind-control powders, and anesthetics. I drink them like water every day. The mind-control powder you used today was a bit too strong and knocked me out, but my body has developed a resistance to drugs, so I woke up not long after.”

Tang Gang still looked puzzled. Leng Rui explained, “You’re not a medical student, so you wouldn’t understand. In short, any medicine in the world works differently for different people. There’s no such thing as a panacea!” What

Leng Rui said was true. His family was a family of “flower-slapping” practitioners who made their fortune by trafficking women and children. By Leng Rui’s generation, because the country cracked down hard on trafficking women and children, his family rarely did this kind of business anymore, but the ancestral flower-slapping techniques and drugs had been passed down.

Leng Rui had been taking various sleeping powders every day since childhood. Initially, the dosage was very small, only causing a slight intoxication. Over the years, the dosage was gradually increased, and his body slowly developed resistance, eventually becoming essentially immune to the sleeping powders.

Leng Rui subdued Tang Gang and knocked Da Shun unconscious. His gaze fell under the folding bed; there were definitely people under there! He quickly walked over and peered under the bed. He saw Lin Yupeng, Duan Wei, Xiang Kui, and two security guards, all bound and curled up, eyes closed, motionless—clearly under the influence of sleeping powder.

Leng Rui pulled the five men out from under the bed, grabbed a large basin of cold water, and splashed it on their faces, also waking up his two men who had come with him.

Lin Yupeng opened his eyes again, feeling dizzy and his head throbbing. He cursed inwardly, "What a terrible night! I've passed out twice!"

"Mr. Lin, how are you feeling?" Leng Rui asked as he untied Lin Yupeng.

Lin Yupeng steadied himself, glancing at Leng Rui beside him. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Tang Gang lying on the ground, bound and gritting his teeth, and Da Shun, unconscious. He immediately realized that Leng Rui had saved them.

Leng Rui untied Lin Yupeng and then began to untie Duan Wei and Xiang Kui. Lin Yupeng stood up and stretched for a while; his body was numb from being bound for so long.

Soon, all of Lin Yupeng's group were untied. He immediately opened the doors and windows to ventilate the room and disperse the remaining sleeping powder. In fact, Lin Yupeng and his men had been drugged twice and had developed some resistance.

"Brother Leng, thank you so much!" Lin Yupeng said gratefully, shaking Leng Rui's hand.

"Mr. Lin, don't be so polite, it's all I should do!" Leng Rui chuckled.

"What exactly happened? My head's spinning!" Lin Yupeng said in a low voice

. Leng Rui briefly recounted what had just happened. Lin Yupeng secretly felt fortunate; if Leng Rui hadn't been resistant to the drug tonight, they would all be dead! He couldn't help but give a thumbs up and exclaimed, "Brother Leng! Well done! I, Lin Yupeng, will never forget your life-saving grace! I will definitely not treat you unfairly!"

Duan Wei stretched his limbs, his gaze falling on Tang Gang. He immediately burst into anger, rushing up to him and kicking him several times. Lin Yupeng quickly stopped Duan Wei, knowing that Duan Wei was skilled with his feet and that a few more kicks would surely kill Tang Gang.

"Lin Yupeng, go ahead and kill me if you dare!" Tang Gang was like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water, his body covered in bruises from Duan Wei's kicks.

Lin Yupeng's eyes darted around, and he noticed that Tang Rui wasn't in the room, nor was Er Shun. He asked, "Where did Tang Rui go?"

Tang Gang retorted sharply, "I don't know!"

Leng Rui leaned closer to Lin Yupeng and said, "President Lin, when I was lying on the floor just now, I vaguely heard someone take her to the duty room!"

"Oh? Come with me to find her!" With that, Lin Yupeng led Leng Rui and Xiang Kui out of the office, leaving Duan Wei and the others inside to watch over Tang Gang.

Although Lin Yupeng didn't know where the duty room was, the entire sugar factory consisted of only one row of brick houses, four rooms in total. Besides the production workshop, the factory manager's office, and the canteen, that must be the duty room.

They saw a light on in the leftmost room. Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed, and he and his men approached. He kicked open the door and saw Tang Rui lying stiffly on the bed with her eyes closed. Er Shun, his eyes filled with lust, was tearing off Tang Rui's clothes!

Lin Yupeng was instantly enraged and roared, "Stop right there!"

Er Shun never expected Lin Yupeng to suddenly barge in. He thought Tang Gang would definitely not let them off, and even if they didn't die, they would be badly injured. Hearing Lin Yupeng's angry roar, he was so frightened that he felt as if he had been electrocuted!

Leng Rui rushed out from behind Lin Yupeng and kicked the audacious Er Shun, sending him flying into the air. He crashed into the wall, breaking two ribs. He fell to the ground, crying and screaming in pain like a pig being slaughtered.

Er Shun had just carried Tang Rui to the lounge and placed her on the bed. While Tang Rui was unconscious, her pretty face was flushed, her long, delicate eyelashes trembled gently, and her breasts rose and fell in waves, making her incredibly beautiful and charming. This guy stared at Tang Rui for a long time, gradually developing wicked thoughts. He tried to leave several times, but his feet seemed to have no limbs; he kept pacing back and forth, never leaving Tang Rui's bedside. Finally, he made up his mind: "Anyway, Tang Gang is dealing with Lin Yupeng's gang, and Tang Rui is unconscious now, so this is how you do it without anyone noticing." "

Er Shun doesn't dare rape Tang Rui; he just wants to take advantage of the fact that no one is in the room to grope her. " He tried to take advantage of her, but little did he know that just as he pulled off Tang Rui's cartoon t-shirt, Lin Yupeng caught him. He didn't get his way, and instead got a beating! Chapter 215 Another Killing Move

Leng Rui searched Er Shun and found the revolver on him, putting it in his pocket. Er Shun was so stunned by the beating that he had completely forgotten he had a gun to fight back. Lin Yupeng's gaze fell on Tang Rui lying on the bed. He saw that she was only wearing a small undershirt, barely covering her body. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief; if he had arrived a moment later, she would have been humiliated! A surge of anger rose within him: "Damn it, tonight is really close!" He took Tang Rui's cartoon T-shirt and lightly draped it over her shoulders, his gaze falling on Er Shun, who was grimacing in pain on the ground . The boy had a pointed chin, a roguish face, and a pair of triangular eyes that gleamed with a thuggish light; he was clearly a local thug. He wondered how Tang Gang had recruited him as a security guard at the factory. Lin Yupeng's anger surged, his eyes flashing with murderous intent. Pointing at Er Shun, he shouted angrily, "You dare touch my woman? Are you fucking tired of living?"

Er Shun was terrified, his face ashen, trembling uncontrollably. He lay on the ground, pleading, "Mr. Lin, spare me! I didn't mean to take advantage of Miss Tang, I... I just thought she was too hot and wanted to cool her off..."

Before he could finish, Lin Yupeng jumped over and slapped Er Shun twice across the face with a sharp, echoing sound. The blows made him see stars, and his face swelled up. Lin Yupeng shouted angrily, "Shut your stinking mouth! Do you think you're so kind? Do you think I'm a three-year-old?" After saying that, he turned to Leng Rui and said, "Find a rope and tie him up!"

Leng Rui obeyed and found a rope, binding Er Shun tightly. Er Shun screamed in pain until his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Lin Yupeng glanced at Tang Rui, then turned to Leng Rui and said, "Take this kid and let's go back to the office!"

Leng Rui dragged the unconscious Er Shun, and together with Lin Yupeng, they went to the factory manager's office. They saw that Da Shun had already woken up and was being tied up tightly by Duan Wei's men.

Lin Yupeng walked behind the desk, bent down, and sat down, looking at Tang Gang, who was glaring angrily on the ground, and the unconscious Da Shun and Er Shun, pondering how to deal with them.

Just then, Tang Gang sneered, "Lin Yupeng, if you have the guts, kill me! I'd rather die than be your puppet!"

Lin Yupeng glanced at Tang Gang with disdain, smiled coldly, and said, "Want to die? It's not hard! I'll grant your wish in a moment! But there's something I need to ask you. Where did you hire Da Shun and Er Shun? Especially Er Shun, he was so audacious as to try and take advantage of your daughter. If I hadn't arrived in time, your precious daughter would probably have been violated!"

Tang Gang's face changed upon hearing this. He glanced coldly at the unconscious Er Shun beside him and said with a puzzled expression, "Damn it, really? I've always treated them well!"

Lin Yupeng sneered, "What, you still don't believe me? Why would I lie to you? Now you're both in my hands, about to be sent to report to the King of Hell. Do you think I would make up lies to sow discord between you?"

Tang Gang's eyes darted around before he finally believed Lin Yupeng's words and spat a mouthful of pus at Er Shun beside him.

A sharp glint flashed in Lin Yupeng's eyes, carrying a chilling murderous intent. He turned to Leng Rui and said in a deep voice, "Brother Leng, get a basin of cold water to wake up Da Shun and Er Shun. I need to go through with this first!"

Leng Rui obeyed and brought a basin of cold water to rouse Da Shun and Er Shun. Although these two boys were usually quite bold, they were terrified by today's situation and lay on the ground begging for mercy, "President Lin! Spare us!"

Lin Yupeng asked coldly, "Are you two brothers?" "Are you from this town?"

Da Shun replied, "We're brothers, but not from here. We came from the south."

Lin Yupeng asked again, "Do you have any relatives in town?"

Da Shun said, "No, we've been orphans since we were little, raised on the charity of others. We've been idle all our lives, and later we offended some enemies who wanted to cripple us. We were so scared that we ran away from home and came to this place!" (Note: "Geda" is a local dialect word meaning "place" in this context.)

Lin Yupeng nodded upon hearing this and chuckled, "You don't have any relatives in town, and you're from out of town, so it's easy to deal with you!"

Da Shun saw the murderous intent flash in Lin Yupeng's eyes and immediately trembled with fear. He had already guessed that Lin Yupeng was going to kill them.

Da Shun guessed correctly. Lin Yupeng did indeed intend to kill the two brothers to eliminate future troubles. He wanted to control the sugar factory in the future, and keeping them alive would only be a menace. Lin Yupeng didn't have enough manpower; he could only leave Leng Rui with four men at most. If he kept Tang Gang and his daughter, along with Da Shun and Er Shun, it would be five men guarding four, and there might be Tang Gang's people among the factory workers, which would inevitably cause trouble sooner or later! It was much safer to kill two, with five men guarding two.

Da Shun and Er Shun were outsiders, with no relatives or friends here. Killing them probably wouldn't get a report or attract the attention of the police. Furthermore, Er Shun's earlier attempt to assault Tang Rui strengthened Lin Yupeng's resolve to eliminate these two scoundrels.

Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he coldly shouted, "Duan Wei!"

"Present!" Duan Wei beside him replied in a deep voice.

Lin Yupeng said coldly, "Take a few brothers, put Tang Gang, Da Shun, and Er Shun in sacks, gag them, load them into a car, and take them to the deep mountains. Die there, and throw the bodies into a ravine. Make it clean, so no one finds out!"

Duan Wei's sharp eyes flashed coldly as he respectfully replied, "Understood! Don't worry, Mr. Lin!"

Da Shun and Er Shun, who were lying on the ground, were terrified when they heard Lin Yupeng was really going to kill them

. They turned ashen-faced, lost control of their bladder and bowels, and trembled violently. Tang Gang also shuddered upon hearing this, his eyes filled with even more despair. He

gritted his teeth in hatred, unwilling to die at Lin Yupeng's hands. After receiving the order, Duan Wei instructed his four security guards to find three rags to gag Tang Gang and the other two, then hurriedly dragged them out, found sacks, and stuffed them into the SUV.

Just as Duan Wei dragged Tang Gang and the other two out, Lin Yupeng called Leng Rui over, handed him the warehouse key, and whispered, "Brother Leng, you follow Duan Wei and quietly tell him to kill Da Shun and Er Shun. Tang Gang is just a scare tactic; we still have a use for him! When you get back, lock him in the warehouse!"

Leng Rui nodded, took the warehouse key, and turned to follow Duan Wei out.

Although Tang Gang had repeatedly broken his promises and caused Lin Yupeng a great loss tonight, Lin Yupeng, out of respect for Tang Rui, didn't intend to kill Tang Gang. He had promised Tang Rui he wouldn't kill Tang Gang, and he couldn't go back on his word. Lin Yupeng was a man of his word, always keeping his word. Besides, killing Tang Gang would indeed be harmful and pointless. Firstly, Lin Yupeng didn't want Tang Rui to hate him to death. Even if he possessed her

body in

the

future, what would be the point if he couldn't win her heart? Secondly, Tang Gang still had value, and the sugar factory had to be kept running; Tang Gang could be used as a puppet.

Outside, the car had already started moving, slowly driving out of the Xinyue Sugar Factory.

It was already past two in the morning, and the surroundings were pitch black. The moon was obscured by a dark cloud, seemingly unwilling to witness the impending demise of two vibrant lives. "In

the world of martial arts, you ask for directions, not your heart; if you ask your heart, how many paths will lead you? This is life, this is the world of martial arts! In the world of martial arts, one is not in control of one's own destiny."

Lin Yupeng had been sitting in the factory manager's office waiting for Duan Wei to return after the matter was settled. About an hour later, the factory gates opened wide, and a car drove in.

A little while later, the gates opened again, and Duan Wei, Leng Rui, and four security guards pushed open the door and entered. Seeing Duan Wei's expression, Lin Yupeng's heart, which had been hanging in

suspense, finally settled. "Did you get everything done?" Lin Yupeng asked in a low voice.

"It's all done!" Duan Wei walked up to Lin Yupeng and answered in a low voice.

"Where's Tang Gang?" Lin Yupeng asked again. "Locked in the warehouse!" "Heh, so Tang Gang's afraid of death too! After we crippled Da Shun and Er Shun right in front of him, we turned around and saw Tang Gang, and we were so scared we fainted!" Duan Wei chuckled dryly.

Lin Yupeng smiled coldly and said to Duan Wei, "You guys rest here for a while, I'll go check on Tang Rui!"

Duan Wei nodded, and Lin Yupeng got up and left the factory manager's office, Xiang Kui following him out.

"You should go back too!" Lin Yupeng said coldly to Xiang Kui.

Upon hearing this, Xiang Kui immediately turned and went back to the factory director's office. Lin Yupeng circled the small sugar factory several times, carefully examining the row of brick and tile buildings. There were five rooms in total: the director's office, the production workshop, the canteen, the staff rest room, and the duty room. The production workshop and canteen were the largest, while the duty room was the smallest.

The annual output value of this small sugar factory would not exceed 40,000, but its location was remote, far from the reach of the central government. Storing the munitions here was much safer than in the city.

Lin Yupeng stepped into the duty room, turned around and closed the door. Seeing Tang Rui still lying unconscious on the bed, he quickly found a glass of cold water and gently splashed it on her pretty face.

After a while, Tang Rui finally woke up slowly. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Lin Yupeng sitting in front of her. A look of surprise flashed across her pretty face. Suddenly, she felt a headache and dizziness, and her delicate features furrowed slightly.

"How did I get here? What happened?" Tang Rui asked in a soft voice, looking puzzled.

"It's a long story!" Lin Yupeng smiled faintly and recounted what had just happened to Tang Rui. Tang Rui listened with a pounding heart, her pretty face filled with terror.

After Lin Yupeng finished speaking, he reached out and gently massaged her temples to ease her pain, saying as he did so, "Tang Rui, your father has repeatedly broken his promises. Tonight, he almost killed me. Logically, I should have killed him, but I didn't. I promised you I wouldn't harm him, and I'm a man of my word. You should help me persuade him to stop arguing with me. Wouldn't it be better if we cooperated?"

Upon hearing this, a look of confusion flashed across Tang Rui's beautiful eyes. She stared at Lin Yupeng, bit her lip, and whispered, "You... how long do you intend to keep us under house arrest?"

Lin Yupeng couldn't help but admire Tang Rui's intelligence. He hadn't told her he intended to keep her and Tang Gang under house arrest, yet she had already guessed it.

He gently stroked Tang Rui's hair and smiled, "What do you mean by 'house arrest'? It hurts me to hear that. You can go back to school after the semester starts. As for your father, he can stay here as the factory manager. If there's an opportunity in the future, I'll get him a job at the Tianqiong Group headquarters."

Tang Rui gently closed her eyes. She knew Lin Yupeng's words were all true, but he omitted an important detail: that he and her father would lose their freedom from then on, whether it was going to school or working as a factory manager.

"What's wrong? Don't want to talk to me?" Lin Yupeng asked with a smile.

Tang Rui remained silent. A surge of anger rose within Lin Yupeng, and he chuckled dryly, "Then I'll talk to you!"

With that, he gently lifted the cartoon shirt covering her, revealing the small undershirt she was wearing. Tang Rui's body trembled; she already knew what Lin Yupeng was about to do.

Lin Yupeng's hand gently slid inside her bodice, unhooked her bra, and kneaded her adorable breasts. The soft, smooth texture aroused him.

Tang Rui's body trembled slightly under Lin Yupeng's touch, her eyes tightly closed, silently enduring the sensation. Her heart pounded. Her feelings towards Lin Yupeng, the man who had taken her virginity, were complex. Did she hate him? She couldn't bring herself to hate him, because Lin Yupeng had never harmed her or her father, Tang Gang. Was it love? She dared not love him; she feared falling into an inescapable abyss, because Lin Yupeng was too ambitious, and she felt insecure.

After his body was enhanced, Lin Yupeng's desire often surged in the quiet of the night, sometimes becoming truly uncontrollable.

After caressing Tang Rui's breasts a few times, he pulled down her bodice and bra. Tang Rui felt a chill on her upper body, and her long eyelashes trembled. Although she had already been intimate with Lin Yupeng a few days ago, her heart still felt a mix of confusion and excitement tonight…

Her breathing quickened, and her breasts rose and fell, revealing her smooth, delicate breasts to Lin Yupeng. He couldn't resist leaning down and gently kissing those adorable little cherries.

“Ah!” Tang Rui moaned softly, her delicate body trembling again. Her reactions seemed to fuel Lin Yupeng's already burning desire, making him feel intensely aroused. His hands involuntarily slid down, pulling down her denim shorts.

Lin Yupeng entered Tang Rui's body once more, like a train entering a narrow tunnel, relentlessly moving forward, seemingly without end.

A powerful thrust followed! Afterwards, Tang Rui's body convulsed, naturally reaching a peak of pleasure. Although this was the second time they had made love, her body still felt very tight and delicate; after her first climax, she was as limp as a puddle of mud.

Lin Yupeng's desire subsided somewhat, his movements becoming gentler. Once Tang Rui's body had recovered a little, he unleashed another torrent of passion upon her! He led her to one beautiful fairyland after another.

The sky gradually turned a pale white. Lin Yupeng got off Tang Rui, gently dressing her. He glanced at her and saw a few glistening tears in the corners of her eyes, but her pretty face was flushed like a blooming begonia. The physical pleasure they had just experienced had lessened her fear somewhat; at least physically, Lin Yupeng had conquered her. Chapter 217: Trusting People Without Doubt

Lin Yupeng left the duty room and returned to the factory manager's office. He saw the four security guards dozing on the bed and chairs. Duan Wei and Xiang Kui were quite energetic; one was flipping through old newspapers on the desk, and the other stood like a javelin beside the desk. Leng Rui was sitting in a chair with her eyes closed, resting. Hearing footsteps, she immediately opened her eyes. Seeing Lin Yupeng, she quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "President Lin!" Lin Yupeng smiled and nodded at him, then slowly walked behind his desk, leaned down and sat in the sofa chair. He glanced at everyone in the room, his gaze finally settling on Leng Rui. After a few scrutinizing looks, he said in a deep voice, "Brother Leng, the sugar factory and this batch of weapons are entrusted to you. You stay here with four brothers, keep Tang Gang under control, and keep an eye on Tang Rui. Nominally you are the deputy factory director, but in reality, you hold all the power. I've estimated that if this factory is managed well, it should be able to make a profit of a few hundred thousand a year. All the profits are yours to control. Just keep an eye on this batch of weapons and Tang Gang and his daughter! Also, as always, don't make things difficult for Tang Rui. I will make time to visit her often!" Upon hearing this, Leng Rui's double pupils lit up with joy, and he said seriously, "Don't worry, President Lin! Tang Gang and his daughter and that batch of weapons are completely safe with me!" Lin Yupeng smiled and nodded. He used the profits from the sugar factory as bait to win Leng Rui's heart. He saw that Leng Rui was greedy for money; a little favor would make him wholeheartedly serve him. As for the weapons, he wasn't worried that Leng Rui would betray him like Tang Gang and secretly sell them after transferring them. After all, Leng Rui didn't have Tang Gang's power. Where would he transfer them? How would he sell them? Wouldn't he be afraid of Lin Yupeng's retaliation? These were all thorny issues. Most importantly, Lin Yupeng believed Leng Rui wasn't that kind of person. The saying goes, "Use people without suspicion, and don't use those you suspect." Now was a good opportunity to test Leng Rui. Even if he did betray Lin Yupeng, he wouldn't care. It was just a little over a million yuan worth of weapons; what couldn't he buy with money in the future? Spending a million to test someone's sincerity was a worthwhile investment for Lin Yupeng. After explaining everything about the sugar factory, it was already past five in the morning. He turned to Duan Wei and said, "We should go!" Duan Wei nodded, gave Leng Rui a few more instructions, and then walked out with Lin Yupeng and Xiang Kui. Security guards had already opened the sugar factory gates, and Duan Wei's SUV and Lin Yupeng's Audi drove off one after the other, leaving Qingshui Town and speeding onto the highway towards Tianhan City. It was already past 6 a.m. when the cars entered Tianhan City. Lin Yupeng returned home to find Fang Na fast asleep in the bedroom, a romance novel beside her pillow—she'd probably stayed up late reading.

Lin Yupeng hadn't seen his beloved Fang Na for two days and two nights, and he was truly missing her terribly. Gazing at her beautiful face, as delicate as a begonia in spring slumber, he couldn't resist lowering his head and gently kissing her luscious lips.

Fang Na slowly woke up, glanced at Lin Yupeng in front of her, and her pretty face immediately blossomed into a joyful smile, but her tone carried a hint of reproach as she said, "Honey, you're only just getting back! What have you been busy with these past two days?"

Lin Yupeng didn't answer her question, afraid of scaring her with the answer, and just chuckled dryly, "Missed me, didn't you?"

Fang Na nodded shyly, a bright blush quickly rising to her cheeks, her luscious lips trembling alluringly, and her high, firm breasts rising and falling adorably.

Lin Yupeng was overcome with lust. Although the fire he had been fueled by Tang Rui had been somewhat released on her, Tang Rui's delicate body was far from satisfying his desires. Now, seeing the stunningly beautiful, voluptuous, and alluring Fang Na lying before him, the fire in his heart surged again, and he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her cherry lips.

Fang Na's body was similar to Lin Yupeng's; after the transformation, she was also easily aroused and had a strong physiological need. In the past, due to her personality and environment, she had never been able to let go of these desires. However, these days of spiritual and physical intimacy with Lin Yupeng had awakened her latent desires, and she had become much more proactive in their sex life.

Fang Na passionately responded to Lin Yupeng's fiery kisses, their two tongues intertwining and entwining, sucking each other's sweetness.

Lin Yupeng's hands moved swiftly, and in no time, he had stripped Fang Na of her meager clothing. Her fair, plump, and rounded body exuded a sweet, intoxicating fragrance unique to young girls. His desire surged, and he caressed and kneaded Fang Na's body as if it were a perfect work of art.

Fang Na obediently allowed Lin Yupeng to gently caress her, her body trembling with excitement. Lin Yupeng then bent down to kiss her smooth belly, followed by licking and blowing on her fair and pink legs. Fang Na's passionate moans rang out, each one more alluring and higher-pitched than the last, further arousing Lin Yupeng and igniting his lust.

He impatiently removed his own restraints, parted Fang Na's pink legs, and gently entered her body, thrusting slowly at first, then faster, a tingling pleasure rippling through both of them.

After a passionate encounter lasting over an hour, Fang Na softly reminded Lin Yupeng, "Honey... don't be late for work!"

Lin Yupeng knew Fang Na was worried he'd be late if he kept going, and it was indeed getting late, not even evening!

So he smiled slightly, unleashing a powerful surge of energy that propelled Fang Na to that blissful state, before leaving her. He quickly dressed, hurriedly ate a few bites of breakfast in the kitchen, and then left home with his bodyguard, Xiang Kui, who was waiting in the living room.

Sitting in the passenger seat of his Audi, Lin Yupeng glanced at the skilled driver Xiang Kui beside him, a question swirling in his mind: "Zhang Yueran sent Xiang Kui to be my bodyguard; he must have a purpose in monitoring me. But I've recently successfully controlled Xiang Kui. Didn't Zhang Yueran realize that? Or did he really just place Xiang Kui as a bodyguard by my side, without any other intentions?"

The car arrived at the entrance of the Tianqiong Group, passed through security smoothly, and he went to the vice president's office to start work. Today's work was as leisurely as usual, but Lin Yupeng's mind was far from at ease. He knew that the more relaxed he seemed, the bigger things were about to happen.

Furthermore, he noticed that Xiao Ru's gaze towards him had been somewhat complicated these past few days. Although it was much gentler and more charming than usual, there was always some strange emotion hidden behind it .

This morning, Lang Zikun, the director of the president's office, sent someone to deliver the keys and property deeds to the villa assigned to Lin Yupeng—the secret villa Yang Yue owned in the northern suburban development zone. The person told Lin Yupeng that Zhang Yueran was sending people to renovate the villa and replace some of the old furniture; he wouldn't be able to move in until at least next Sunday. Looking at the villa keys and property deeds, Lin Yupeng secretly calculated: "If I sell the villa, including the valuables inside, I could easily make over a million yuan. Right now, I only have a little over 500,000 yuan left—my doctoral settlement allowance, salary, and bonuses—totaling just over 1.5 million yuan. That's still not enough to buy a memory chip; I'm 40,000 yuan short. Looks like I need to hurry up and make some more money!" Besides, Lin Yupeng was really reluctant to sell the villa immediately; after all, he hadn't enjoyed it for even a few days. He opened the property deeds and saw that the ownership had already been transferred, and the name was now his. Lin Yupeng couldn't help but admire Lang Zikun's "influence." The original owner, Yang Yue, had "mysteriously disappeared," yet he was able to process the transfer for Lin Yupeng so quickly—it must require solid connections at the real estate bureau and notary office. Thinking of Lang Zikun, Lin Yupeng thought of the two film and entertainment companies he managed, and then remembered Ling Yan's request the night before last to introduce her to Lang Zikun for a job at "Today's Star" film company. He needed to hurry up and get it done for her. So Lin Yupeng picked up the phone and dialed Lang Zikun's number in the president's office. After two rings, Lang Zikun's high-pitched, melodious voice came through: "Hello! President's Office!" "Director Lang? This is Lin Yupeng!" "Oh, it's President Lin! Hello, hello!" Although he couldn't see Lang Zikun's expression, Lin Yupeng could tell from his tone that he was beaming. "Director Lang, I've received the villa keys and property deeds. Thank you so much!" Lin Yupeng said gratefully. "Don't mention it, it was all asked of me by President Zhang! President Lin must have something else to discuss with me!" Lang Zikun's intuition was indeed very sharp. "Yes! Director Lang, are you free tonight? I'd like to invite you to dinner, and I also have a favor to ask you!" Lin Yupeng smiled. "Sure, sure! I'm free tonight. Where shall we go?" "6 pm, Red Moon Pavilion Hotel, see you there!" After saying that, Lin Yupeng hung up the phone, plotting how to deal with Lang Zikun that night. Time flew by, and as evening approached, Lin Yupeng and Xiang Kui left Tianqiong Group and drove straight to the Hongyue Pavilion Hotel. Lin Yupeng had been to the Hongyue Pavilion Hotel many times; the food was delicious, the environment comfortable, and the service attentive. He told Xiang Kui to wait for Lang Zikun outside, while he went directly to a private room on the second floor. This was the only empty room; all the others were occupied, and the lobby was packed with guests. Lin Yupeng entered the room and asked the waitress to wait a moment, saying he was waiting for a friend before ordering. After a short while, the door opened, and Xiang Kui led Lang Zikun in. Lang Zikun arrived alone, without bodyguards. Upon seeing Lin Yupeng, he greeted him with a smile and respectfully said, "President Lin, hello! I'm a little late, please forgive me!" Actually, he wasn't late at all; he was ten minutes earlier than agreed. This was merely a common polite expression used in social situations. Lang Zikun was quite adept at manipulating interpersonal relationships; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to climb to the position of Director of the President's Office at Tianqiong Group, essentially Zhang Yueran's right-hand man. Lin Yupeng smiled, stood up, and shook his hand. The two then sat down together, Lin Yupeng in the main seat, and Lang Zikun beside him. The waitress appropriately presented the menu. Lin Yupeng pushed the menu towards Lang Zikun, but Lang Zikun insisted on not ordering first and pushed the menu back. Lin Yupeng smiled slightly, casually ordered a few dishes and two bottles of good wine, then returned the menu to Lang Zikun. Lang Zikun only ordered one dish before returning the menu to the waiter. A short while later, the dishes and wine were served. Lang Zikun, beaming, poured a glass of wine for himself and Lin Yupeng, raised it, and said with a hearty laugh, "Mr. Lin, thank you for your kind invitation. Let me toast you first!"

Lin Yupeng smiled slightly, picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. Lang Zikun also finished his drink.

"Eat, eat!" Lin Yupeng gestured, but Lang Zikun didn't dare to touch his chopsticks first. He stared at Lin Yupeng with a forced smile and said, "Mr. Lin, what brings you here today?"

Lin Yupeng laughed heartily, picked up his chopsticks, and took a piece of "Hibiscus Clam Meat" to chew. He found the taste fresh, tender, spicy, and lingering.

After finishing his meal, he gently placed his chopsticks on the table, wiped his mouth with a napkin, turned to look at Lang Zikun, and smiled, "Actually, it's nothing serious. I have a friend, a high school classmate, who wants to sing at your film and entertainment company."

Lang Zikun's small eyes lit up at this, and he chuckled dryly, "Oh, so that's what it is! No problem, no problem, it's just a matter of a word! May I ask your friend's name? Is she in our industry?"

Lin Yupeng laughed heartily, "Speaking of my friend, you might remember her! Her name is Ling Yan, she's in the city's singing troupe. She even performed at the celebration party for our acquisition of the Xinhang Hotel a couple of days ago, singing 'Night Fragrance'!"

Lang Zikun's eyes lit up again, and he exclaimed with sudden realization, "Oh! So it's her! She left a deep impression on me! She sings so beautifully!" "She's very beautiful, especially her figure, it's gorgeous. If she were..." He almost blurted out, "If she played the lead role in my film, she'd be a national sensation!" But then he remembered she was a singer, not an actress, and swallowed his words, changing his tone to, "If she released an album, it would definitely be a huge hit!"

Lin Yupeng chuckled. He knew Lang Zikun's background well. This guy frequently made pornographic films, especially adept at directing adult films, and had a knack for training women. However, Ling Yan was his high school classmate, and they had a past relationship. He didn't want a woman he'd slept with to become an adult film actress. Although Ling Yan was no longer a virgin, had a boyfriend in high school, joined a singing group after graduation, performed everywhere, had a wide social network, and knew many people, she was already a seasoned player in the dating scene.

Lin Yupeng, of course, knew what Lang Zikun was thinking. Ling Yan was alluring and had a great figure; with a little training, she would be perfect material for an adult film actress.

So he stared at Lang Zikun's face, which was always etched with smile lines even when he wasn't smiling, and said in a deep voice, "Director Lang, my friend just wants to release an album! Don't arrange for her to film any pornographic movies, especially..." He paused, a sharp, cold glint flashing in his eyes as he stared intently at Lang Zikun, and said, word by word, "She can't film porn!"

(Chapter 219 Important Guest

)

Upon hearing this, Lang Zikun's expression changed, the smile lines on his face distorted, his body trembled, and he said in a cold voice, "President Lin is joking! I, Lang Zikun, am..." "I've never made any films! I admit I've made commercial pornographic films, what's called Category III films in Hong Kong, but here we call them body art films. Although there was some nudity, it was all fake, not like adult films where it's real. Besides, the country has already promoted film ratings, so making these Category III films isn't illegal."

He spoke eloquently, refusing to admit that the film company he led had ever made adult films, just like his attitude at the meeting that day. Tong Yu had already subtly hinted at it then, but he had flatly denied it, and today he was playing tricks on Lin Yupeng.

As Lang Zikun spoke, his mind raced: "Lin Yupeng also believes I'm making porn. Who the hell snitched on me? Tong Yu? Duan Wei? Or one of my company's actors?"

Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed coldly as he stared at Lang Zikun, chuckling dryly, "Director Lang, don't be nervous! Even if you really did make porn, given our relationship, I can't tell President Zhang and Chairman Jin! It's tough in the entertainment industry these days. The higher-ups are strict; every film goes through layers of censorship. Even if it passes review and is released, there's still the possibility of it being blacklisted. They'll find any excuse to frame you! To survive, I guess I have to make some outrageous films." "That's understandable!"

Lang Zikun nodded and smiled obsequiously, "President Lin is right! But I've never filmed adult movies before, and I've kept Chairman Jin and President Zhang's words firmly in mind!"

Lin Yupeng chuckled and said in a deep voice, "Well, what do you think about my friend's matter?"

Lang Zikun smiled and said, "That's easy! Just tell her to bring her resume to 'Today's Star' company for an interview at 9 a.m. tomorrow. It's just a formality for outsiders. With President Lin's help, she'll definitely pass!"

He spoke very decisively and readily. Lin Yupeng picked up his glass and laughed heartily, "Then thank you very much, Director Lang! I'll toast you!"

"No, no, President Lin, you're too kind!" Lang Zikun held his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Lin Yupeng finished his drink and was about to chat with Lang Zikun about something else when they heard a knock at the door of the private room. Lang Zikun, assuming it was a waiter, impatiently said, "Come in!" The

door opened, and a middle-aged man entered. He was about thirty-six or thirty-seven years old, with a round face, large ears, and a ruddy complexion. His hair was neatly parted and sleek, and he wore a sharp suit and a Texas-style tie. Judging by his demeanor, he was either a government official or a large business owner.

Lin Yupeng and Lang Zikun were both taken aback, thinking simultaneously, "Who is this guy? What does he want?"

The middle-aged man walked between Lin Yupeng and Lang Zikun with a forced smile, took out a business card from his pocket, placed it on the table, and politely said, "Excuse me, I'm the general manager of this establishment. I need to discuss something with you three!" His gaze then met that of Xiang Kui, the bodyguard standing behind Lin Yupeng, whose eyes gleamed with a fierce light. A chill ran down his spine.

Upon seeing the arrival of outsiders, Xiang Kui, who had been sitting next to Lin Yupeng, abruptly stood up and stood behind Lin Yupeng, glaring menacingly at the newcomers.

Lin Yupeng glanced at the business card on the table, which read: "Cheng Da, General Manager of Hongyue Pavilion Hotel."

He then smiled slightly at Cheng Da and said, "General Manager Cheng, please speak freely!"

Cheng Da's heart pounded again. After hesitating for a moment, he said with a forced smile, "I'm sorry! We have a very important guest here today. Could you please vacate this private room and move to the main hall for dining? I know this is a bit much, but I'm truly in a difficult position. How about this: no matter how much you spend today, I'll waive the bill!"

Cheng Da's voice grew softer as he spoke, his heart filled with trepidation and a lack of confidence. He could tell that Lin Yupeng's group was not insignificant, but he couldn't afford to offend the "important guest" he mentioned. Moreover, the guest insisted on dining in this private room, which was why he had shamelessly come to Lin Yupeng to discuss the matter.

Lin Yupeng chuckled coldly upon hearing this, thinking to himself, "This is really interesting! Last time I went to a Thai restaurant with Yang Yue, all the private rooms were full, and Yang Yue had to ask the manager to get someone from a private room to come out. We ended up arguing and even got into a fight! And now I'm stuck with this situation again. Who is this domineering person?"

In the past, if Lin Yupeng was in a good mood, he might have given up the private room, but now that Lin Yupeng was the vice president of Tianqiong Group, it would be too embarrassing to just give it up like that. Besides, he had been drugged twice last night, and the anger in his heart hadn't completely subsided yet, and it was surging up again now.

He chuckled coldly and said to Cheng Da, "You want me to give up this private room? Sure! But I have to meet your important guest first! We're all friends here! It's a bit of a shame to send me away so ambiguously!"

Cheng Da, the general manager of the Red Moon Pavilion Hotel, broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this, his face showing anxiety as he whispered, "No way! To be honest, we can't mess with the underworld!"

"Oh? The underworld? Who is it? Does he have a name?" Lin Yupeng seemed nonchalant. The word "underworld" didn't intimidate him at all. He wanted to have connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds, and besides, he had Xiang Kui, his super bodyguard, so he was fearless.

"It's Brother Hao! Everyone in Tianhan City knows him. Brother, a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle! You should give way!" Cheng Da earnestly advised.

"Hong Tianhao?" The moment Cheng Da mentioned "Brother Hao," Lin Yupeng immediately thought of Hong Tianhao, the imposing underworld boss.

"Yes! That's him!" Cheng Da stammered, his face contorted with fear.

Lin Yupeng said coldly, "Bring that Hong Tianhao here. I want to talk to him!"

Cheng Da's face paled with fright. He was about to plead with Lin Yupeng to give up the private room when Lin Yupeng, impatient, glared at him, his eyes flashing with a chilling light, and snapped, "Enough nonsense! Bring that Hong Tianhao in! You say he's not easy to mess with, but do you think we're easy to mess with?"

Cheng Da trembled, not daring to say another word. He turned and left, inwardly cursing his bad luck—something was going to happen at this hotel tonight!

He turned and walked out. Lang Zikun's eyes darted around, and he whispered to Lin Yupeng, "Mr. Lin, I know this Hong Tianhao. He's very famous and powerful in the Tianhan City underworld. He controls countless establishments, and he's always been at odds with our Tianqiong Group. I should call a team of security guards over!"

Lin Yupeng waved his hand with a cold smile, "No need! Hong Tianhao isn't a man-eating tiger. Why be afraid of him? Today I'm going to meet him!" Lang Zikun

remained silent

.

He moved his hand, touching his waist. Lin Yupeng noticed a bulge at his waist; he was definitely hiding something.

Two or three minutes later, the door opened, and five or six people walked in. Leading the way was the store's general manager, Cheng Da.

Behind Cheng Da, four bodyguards surrounded a man in his thirties. Lin Yupeng recognized him as Hong Tianhao, the underworld boss he had met twice before.

He was dressed in a sharp suit and designer clothes, his expression sinister and arrogant, his imposing aura emanating from his gold-rimmed glasses. Two large emerald rings gleamed on his hands, dazzling the eye.

Among his four bodyguards, one was about a meter tall, incredibly burly, with bronze skin that gleamed metallically. His muscles bulged like small steamed buns, his large, fan-like hands had fingers like tiny hammers, and his legs were as thick as stone pillars. This was the fierce thug Hong Tianhao had encountered at the internet cafe, the one who had roared like a lioness; Hong Tianhao called him "Ah Hai."

Cheng Da, standing before Hong Tianhao, seemed to melt, shrinking back slightly, his face plastered with a fawning smile. His years of business experience had cultivated a sycophantic demeanor that was somewhat nauseating.

"Brother Hao, it's him who wants to see you!" Cheng Da pointed to the composed Lin Yupeng.

Since Hong Tianhao entered with his men, his gaze had been fixed on Lin Yupeng, who sat in the main seat. At the same time, Lin Yupeng glanced back at him, and their sharp, cold eyes clashed like sparks flying.
Looking at the four thugs beside Hong Tianhao, each was menacing, fists clenched, ready to pounce at their master's command. Cheng Da, standing nearby, was already pale with fright, his legs trembling uncontrollably.

Lin Yupeng and Hong Tianhao exchanged glances, each trying to see into the other's mind, creating a tense atmosphere in the room, as if a volcano was about to erupt.

After a long pause, Hong Tianhao finally couldn't help but speak first. His facial muscles twitched, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and a sinister smile appeared on his sharply defined lips. He stared intently at Lin Yupeng and said coldly, "Isn't this Lin Yupeng, the newly appointed vice president of Tianqiong Group?"

Lin Yupeng remained calm and composed, meeting Hong Tianhao's gaze with a slight smile. "That's right, it's me! Mr. Hong, do you recognize me?"

Hong Tianhao sneered, "Of course I do! I've seen your picture in the newspaper, and I even saw you in person at the Zunlong Entertainment Club—the e-Love Internet Cafe!"

Lin Yupeng's heart skipped a beat. At the Zunlong Entertainment Club, the two were standing very close, so it wasn't surprising that Hong Tianhao noticed him. But that night at the internet cafe, when he was sitting inside amidst the chaos, Hong Tianhao had still spotted him. This guy had a sharp eye!

Lin Yupeng smiled slightly, pointed to the seat next to him, and said, "Mr. Hong, please sit down!"

Hong Tianhao's face was cold and intimidating. He walked to the seat and sat down, only three steps away from Lin Yupeng. An imposing aura pressed down from the sky.

The four bodyguards that Hong Tianhao brought with him stood in a line behind him, as straight as stone tablets. Each of them had a cold glint in their eyes, constantly staring at Lin Yupeng, Xiang Kui, and Lang Zikun. Especially Ah Hai, who was tall and strong and had a fiery temper. He was panting heavily at Lin Yupeng, his fists clenched, and the veins on his neck were showing. He looked like a ferocious beast ready to devour someone.

Lin Yupeng sneered inwardly, "What are you trying to prove? What kind of show of power haven't I seen?"

Hong Tianhao stared at Lin Yupeng for a few moments, and a thought suddenly struck him: "This Lin Yupeng is so calm and composed in front of me, he's really not simple!" He then glanced at Xiang Kui, the bodyguard behind Lin Yupeng, and saw that his eyes were filled with murderous intent, and the overwhelming aura emanating from his body was not to be underestimated.

Hong Tianhao's gaze fell on Cheng Da, who stood timidly at the door. His anger flared, and he coldly shouted, "General Manager Cheng, what are you standing there for? Have someone remove the leftovers from the table and replace them with a table full of better food and drinks!"

Cheng Da jolted as if electrocuted, quickly regaining his composure. His smile froze, and he replied respectfully, "Yes, yes! I'll prepare it right away!"

"Wait!" Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed sharply as he stopped Cheng Da, sneering, "I haven't finished eating this table yet, I can't replace it!"

Just then, Ah Hai finally couldn't hold back any longer and roared, "Who the hell do you think you are? You're asking for it!" He spread his arms to lunge at Lin Yupeng, but at the same time, Xiang Kui behind Lin Yupeng swiftly pulled out two Type 64 pistols, one aimed at Ah Hai and the other at Hong Tianhao. The black muzzles emitted a chilling electric light, but without Lin Yupeng's order, he didn't fire.

Just as Xiang Kui drew his gun, the three bodyguards behind Hong Tianhao also drew their weapons, pointing them at Lin Yupeng, Xiang Kui, and Lang Zikun respectively. However, their speed in drawing their guns was noticeably slower than Xiang Kui's.

The atmosphere in the room instantly became suffocatingly tense; a shootout was imminent! Cheng Da was so frightened that he trembled all over, even wetting his pants, and stood motionless at the door.

After a long standoff, a glint flashed in Hong Tianhao's eyes, and he coldly said to the bodyguards behind him, "What are you doing? Put your guns away!" As soon as

he finished speaking, Lin Yupeng reached out and pressed the gun down from Xiang Kui's hand. Both sides put away their weapons, and the atmosphere in the room eased considerably.

"Since President Lin doesn't want to change, then reheat these dishes for him! Add a few new ones!" Hong Tianhao turned to Cheng Da and ordered.

Cheng Da immediately turned and strode out as if he had received a royal decree. A short while later, several waitresses hurried in, removing the dishes Lin Yupeng had ordered from the table. The tablecloths had been replaced, and several fruit platters and a pot of tea were placed on the table. One waitress carefully poured tea for Lin Yupeng and Hong Tianhao.

After a while, the waitresses brought back the reheated dishes, and added five new dishes—the restaurant's best and most expensive dishes—filling the entire table, along with a bottle of XO.

Hong Tianhao said, "President Lin, I, Hong, have long heard of you. You were just a department head under Yang Yue, yet in less than a month you managed to bring down Yang Yue and replace him. Truly a promising young man, admirable indeed! I am very happy to meet you here today!"

(Chapter 221:

A Good Opportunity)

Hong Tianhao spoke sarcastically, his sincerity unclear, whether it was genuine or a feigned test.

Lin Yupeng remained expressionless, coldly replying, "Is that so? I'm quite pleased to meet Mr. Hong here!" Unlike others, he didn't address Hong Tianhao respectfully as "Brother Hao," clearly intending to treat him as an equal. Lin Yupeng's attitude greatly displeased Hong Tianhao. His four thugs were eager to launch another attack, but they dared not act without Hong Tianhao's orders.

Hong Tianhao wasn't stupid. He assessed the situation in the room. Although he had two more men than his opponent, Lin Yupeng's three men were all formidable, especially Xiang Kui, who seemed to possess unparalleled strength. A fight could easily result in mutual destruction. Besides, it wasn't worth fighting here. Although there had been occasional friction with the Tianqiong Group, he hadn't yet figured out Lin Yupeng's methods. Today was a good opportunity to meet him and test his strength.

Hong Tianhao and Lin Yupeng exchanged glances for a few moments, and finally Hong Tianhao spoke first: "President Lin, although I've had some friction and conflicts with Tianqiong Group, those were with other people. There's nothing between me and you, President Lin. I hope we can be friends. These days, cooperation benefits both sides, while separation harms both!"

Lin Yupeng smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Hong is right. These days, having more friends means having more options! As for what conflicts you have with Tianqiong Group, I don't know about them. I think we're both in business, and to put it bluntly, we're all profit-driven. Even if there are some conflicts of interest, I think it's normal!"

"Yes, that's right!" Hong Tianhao raised his glass and said to Lin Yupeng, "President Lin, it's a pleasure to meet you for the first time. I'll drink to that!" With that, he raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Not to be outdone, Lin Yupeng picked up a glass of wine and drank it all, then began eating the dishes he had originally ordered. He didn't touch the dishes Hong Tianhao had ordered later, implicitly drawing a line between them.

Hong Tianhao didn't touch his chopsticks, watching Lin Yupeng eat with obvious relish, calmly and leisurely, and couldn't help but admire his audacity.

After a while, Lin Yupeng devoured all the dishes he had ordered, then stood up, smiled slightly at Hong Tianhao, and said in a deep voice, "I'm full, Mr. Hong, I'll take my leave. Goodbye!"

With that, he turned and left the Red Moon Pavilion Hotel with Xiang Kui and Lang Zikun.

Hong Tianhao stared at Lin Yupeng's retreating figure, his face grim, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. His hands clenched tightly. After a long while, he suddenly remembered that Lin Yupeng had left without paying. Was he supposed to pay the bill?

He didn't know that Cheng Da had already waived Lin Yupeng's bill, and Hong Tianhao himself had never paid cash when he ate here. This guy always ate and drank for free in his sphere of influence, and the hotel manager still had to greet him with a smile.

Lin Yupeng, his bodyguard Xiang Kui, and Lang Zikun walked out of the Red Moon Pavilion Hotel together. As they walked, Lang Zikun muttered under his breath, "Damn it, this Hong Tianhao is getting more and more arrogant!"

"President Lin, you did a great job today! We had to put him in his place. However, this whole thing was quite dangerous! If a fight broke out, it wouldn't be easy to handle!" Lang Zikun said in a worried voice.

Lin Yupeng laughed and said, "Director Lang, didn't you realize that the Hongyue Pavilion Hotel is under Hong Tianhao's protection? Although he's domineering, he's still quite trustworthy. He won't cause trouble in his own territory unless absolutely necessary!"

Lang Zikun chuckled and said, "That makes sense!"

After Lin Yupeng and Lang Zikun parted ways at the entrance, Xiang Kui drove him home. Lin Yupeng recalled what had just happened and secretly calculated in his mind. This Hong Tianhao seemed to have a deep background; he was the kind of person in Tianhan City whose every move could shake the entire city. Offending him today would make his future days difficult. However, Lin Yupeng wanted to achieve great things in the future and absolutely could not allow anyone to be above him. Therefore, Hong Tianhao was his potential rival.

He also thought of the batch of weapons hidden in the Xinyue Sugar Factory in Qingshui Town. He had originally planned to sell them for some money, but now it seemed that those weapons would definitely come in very handy in the future, so he really couldn't touch them. Selling them for money was easy, but buying weapons of such high quality would be very difficult.

Suddenly remembering he hadn't informed Ling Yan about her situation, he took out his phone and dialed her number. Ling Yan's clear, melodious voice immediately came through: "Hello! Brother Lin?"

"It's me! Sister Yan, your job is looking promising! Tomorrow morning at nine, take your resume to 'Star of Today' company for an interview, just to go through the motions! It would be best if you sang a couple of songs on the spot. I've already spoken to Director Lang, I guarantee you'll pass smoothly, and you should be able to start working there next Monday!" Lin Yupeng said.

Ling Yan seemed very excited upon hearing this, her tone becoming increasingly high-pitched and melodious, even carrying a hint of seduction: "Brother Lin, thank you so much! I'll treat you to a meal sometime to thank you in person!"

"Hehe, Sister Yan, don't mention it! We're good classmates, no problem!" Without realizing it, Lin Yupeng blurted out Lang Zikun's catchphrase, and couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.

Ling Yan's voice suddenly became ambiguous, and you could hear her giggling even through the microphone. She whispered, "Brother Lin, your chance has come! I just heard that Fei Wenchao was taken away by the police today because he's suspected of rape. Chen Lihan is in a panic right now, trying to find a lawyer and pull strings. But I think even if they can get Fei Wenchao out, his engagement with Chen Lihan will probably fall through! If they can't get him out, Fei Wenchao will go to jail, and then he and Chen Lihan will break up even more. Don't you think this is a good opportunity?"

Fei Wenchao's arrest by the police was entirely within Lin Yupeng's expectations; he had orchestrated it all. But hearing Ling Yan's words, he had to pretend to be very surprised and said, "Ah! Fei Wenchao really raped a woman! I didn't believe it before. Alas, poor Lihan, she actually planned to marry such a person! I really feel sorry for her!"

"Oh dear, I think you should stop making sarcastic remarks and hurry up and seize the opportunity!" Ling Yan advised.

"Okay, I understand!" Lin Yupeng hung up the phone and immediately dialed Dong Bin's secret number.

"Hello, Mr. Lin?" Dong Bin's deep, cold voice came from the other end of the line.

"Director Dong, I heard you detained Fei Wenchao? Why didn't you tell me about something so big?" Lin Yupeng asked coldly.

Chapter 222 Clouds

and Rain

"Just finished the interrogation! Mr. Lin, I feel like there's something wrong with this case. Fei Wenchao insists he was framed, that he accidentally took aphrodisiacs, and that's why he forced himself on Gao Lin. Peng Hongliang's cronies, Liu Sheng and Cui Lei, were also present that night. Those two are highly suspicious, but no matter how I question them, they won't tell the truth! This case is getting more and more complicated!" Dong Bin said coldly, his voice tinged with anger.

"I think we should stop investigating this case." "This is never-ending! Fei Wenchao raped Gao Lin. There's witness testimony and physical evidence. Can't we get a verdict? Don't listen to his side of the story; that's pure sophistry! Who drugged him? Why would anyone want to harm him? There's not a single piece of evidence! Don't pursue these baseless accusations!" Lin Yupeng subtly hinted to Dong Bin to immediately end the investigation and solidify the case. He knew perfectly well that continuing the investigation would inevitably implicate him, and then he'd

end up losing more than he gained. "Alright then! That's settled!" Dong Bin was now completely under Lin Yupeng's control and was happy to let it go, doing him a favor. As for whether Fei Wenchao was innocent or not, he didn't care. How many wrongful convictions had he handled? All he cared about was his career and wealth. Any obstacle to his advancement and riches would be eliminated!

Lin Yupeng hung up the phone and returned home. It was already past 8 p.m., but it was the earliest he had come home in the past few days. Fang Na seemed very happy and nestled in his arms like a little bird. The two watched TV together for a while, then looked at each other and went to the bedroom to sleep.

Today, Fang Na was very proactive during their intimate moments, gently helping him undress. Being undressed by a beautiful woman is a truly pleasurable experience; her delicate, smooth skin moving lightly against his skin, like a dragonfly skimming the water, easily aroused his latent desires.

After Fang Na helped Lin Yupeng remove his clothes, Lin Yupeng began to undress her as well, his movements much faster. Who wouldn't be eager with such beauty before them? Although he and Fang Na had been together many times, her body was like a mysterious, unfathomable valley, offering new sensations, new discoveries, and new points of excitement each time.

Lin Yupeng lay on top of her, lowering his head to kiss her snowball-like breasts, sucking on their red nipples, then bending down to kiss her flat, smooth abdomen, her snow-white, pinkish-white legs, finally burying his face in her blooming, fragrant garden.

A erotic poem aptly describes it: "It's not a flower, yet its features resemble one; its petals swell and bulge, intertwined with delicate petals; its bud sits atop the petals, a man's favorite."

Fang Na's body writhed with excitement and pleasure, trembling violently, a gush of love fluid overflowing.

Two naked bodies intertwined on the bed, the intoxicating pleasure surging with each thrust of Lin Yupeng. The sensation was like soaring through the clouds, swimming comfortably in the ocean, or riding a steed across a vast grassland… like clouds

gathering and dispersing. After a night of passion, Lin Yupeng rose at the crack of dawn the next day. Fang Na was still fast asleep beside him, her incredibly sexy body still bearing the marks of their passionate encounter.

Sitting on the bed, Lin Yupeng suddenly remembered something: his robot was still in Xiao Ru's dorm room. He'd been too busy these past few days to check it. He wanted to figure out what "Chairman Jin" meant by telling Xiao Ru to "find an opportunity."

So he went to the lab, opened the monitoring screen of the special robot, and saw the scene in Xiaoru's dormitory. It was only a little past 5 a.m., and Xiaoru was fast asleep in bed.

She was only wearing a pink bodice, revealing her snow-white, lotus-root-like arms, high, firm breasts, and slender waist. Her skin was as white as cream. She wore only a pair of briefs, barely covering her private area, but occasionally a few stubborn pubic hairs peeked out, arousing endless fantasies and making his blood boil.

Lin Yupeng admired Xiaoru's beautiful body for a while, then started rewinding the monitoring progress. After a long time, he found nothing new; it was just the same old routine of going to work and leaving work, and that Chairman Jin hadn't called again.

His doubts deepened, but he was helpless. Until he got his hands on the memory chip, his robot was at best a feature-rich super camera.

Lin Yupeng sat in his chair, recalling his conversation with Lang Zikun last night. That guy was really cunning, stubbornly denying ever filming porn.

Suddenly, an idea struck him. He remembered the pornographic scene he'd filmed at Zhao Yanmei's house a few months ago. Although Lang Zikun was masked, his voice was clear, and the male and female leads in the video were clearly visible. He wasn't afraid Lang Zikun wouldn't deny it.

Lin Yupeng had already saved that "precious" surveillance footage. Now, he retrieved it from his computer, extracted the most "exciting" clip, and sent it to Lang Zikun's publicly available email address within the company. This time, Lin Yupeng didn't hide his identity, openly stating that it was him who sent the email, to see Lang Zikun's reaction. After

sending the email, he left the lab, ate breakfast, and went to work at Tianqiong Group as usual. Today was Friday; tomorrow was his day off. But sometimes, Lin Yupeng was busier on his days off than usual.

On the way, Lin Yupeng called Leng Rui to inquire about the situation at the sugar factory yesterday. Leng Rui was no less capable than Duan Wei, but he was a bit eccentric and had a strange personality, so he had few friends.

Leng Rui truthfully reported to Lin Yupeng that he had released Tang Gang yesterday morning and forced him to appoint him as deputy factory manager in front of a dozen workers. During the day, if Tang Gang disobeyed, he would put a sleeping pill on his head, and Leng Rui would issue orders on his behalf, wielding absolute power.

Tang Rui was being watched by Cui Ligen and Xue Yonggeng in shifts; she had no chance of escaping, so it was practically foolproof.

Lin Yupeng's heart finally settled. The car had arrived at the entrance of the Tianqiong Group. While going through security, he noticed a hint of jealousy in Qin Xi's eyes. He thought to himself, "This Qin Xi, does she see me as a rival? She's asking for trouble!"

He went to his office and started working. These past few days, Zhang Yueran hadn't called him to meetings. That guy was always elusive; it was impossible to find him. Even if he bought the memory chip, controlling him would be very difficult.

After lunch, he returned to his office when the phone suddenly rang. He quickly answered, and the voice of Chen Wei, chairman of the Xinhang Hotel, came through.

"Is this President Lin? This is Chen Wei!" Chen Wei's tone was very polite.

(

Chapter 223: Slender and Beautiful Hands

) For some reason, Chen Wei's attitude towards Lin Yupeng had recently undergone a complete change, becoming much warmer, a stark contrast to his previous arrogant and indifferent demeanor.

Lin Yupeng said calmly, "It's me! Hello, Chairman Chen!"

"Hello, do you have time tonight? Come have a casual meal with me!" Chen Wei said politely, his voice laced with pleading and anticipation.

"I'm very busy right now, is there something you need?" Lin Yupeng asked with concern.

"Nothing much, I just wanted to invite you over, Mr. Lin. My hotel was successfully acquired, thanks to your tireless efforts. I should have invited you to thank you in person much earlier!" Chen Wei gave evasive answers, unwilling to tell the truth.

Lin Yupeng deliberately declined, saying, "Oh dear, I have something to do tonight! How about another day?" He was intentionally testing Chen Wei.

Chen Wei, sounding somewhat regretful, said, "Oh! It's my sister, Lihan, who wants to meet you. She's too shy to ask directly, so she asked me to call and arrange it."

Lin Yupeng chuckled inwardly, "Chen Wei, I tricked you into telling the truth, didn't I?"

He then grinned and said, "Since it's Lihan who asked me, I definitely have to come! Put everything else aside for now, I'll be there as soon as I get off work tonight!"

Chen Wei replied with delight, "Thank you for the honor, Mr. Lin! We'll be waiting for you!" This guy, like Yang Yue, always liked to throw in a few elegant phrases when he spoke.

Lin Yupeng hung up the phone, pondering to himself that Chen Lihan's invitation tonight definitely wasn't for romance; there was something else going on! Could it be related to Fei Wenchao? But regardless, as long as Chen Lihan took the initiative to ask him out, there was an opportunity.

After work, Lin Yupeng got into his Audi and headed straight for the Xinhang Hotel.

Upon arriving at the hotel entrance, they discovered the signboard had been changed. The four gilded characters "Meihua Hotel" gleamed brightly; it could no longer be called "Xingang Hotel."

Although the name had changed, the layout, style, and staff remained the same. Previously, Zhang Yueran had intended to use the hotel as an internal guesthouse, not open to the public. However, recently, Tianqiong Group had made several large deals, resulting in a sharp decrease in working capital. Meihua Hotel, on the other hand, had been doing very well, so Zhang Yueran changed his original plan, opening it to the public to generate profits and replenish the group's reserves.

Lin Yupeng and his bodyguard Xiang Kui stepped into the Meihua Hotel. It was peak evening dining time, and the lobby was packed with guests, bustling with activity.

Just inside the door, a girl in a red business suit walked gracefully towards them. Her pure and beautiful face wore an innocent and simple smile, her large, clear eyes sparkling, and her skin as white and smooth as jade. She gave the impression of a magnolia blossom blooming in a secluded valley.

Lin Yupeng recognized her at a glance; she was Wen Yuqi, that innocent and adorable girl full of childlike charm.

"Ha, it's you! Mr. Lin, hello!" Wen Yuqi blinked her innocent big eyes and said sweetly.

From her tone, she already knew Lin Yupeng's true identity. Lin Yupeng laughed and said, "Hello, we meet again! I remember you were a typist at the front desk, how come you're a greeter now?"

Wen Yuqi blinked and said sweetly, "I changed jobs! The front desk manager thought I was more suitable to be a greeter! By the way, I haven't asked you yet! Didn't you always say you were in the perfume wholesale business? How come you're the vice president of Tianqiong Group? Oh, you lied to me!" This girl actually started to act coquettishly in front of Lin Yupeng.

"I didn't lie to you! Our Tianqiong Group has many businesses. I'm in charge of the perfume wholesale business. Your General Manager Chen uses our perfume, and it works very well. He's addicted to it, so he simply joined our Tianqiong Group a few days ago. You know, it's like getting the moon first when you're in the water!" Lin Yupeng made up stories to tease Wen Yuqi.

Wen Yuqi actually believed it, blinking her big eyes and giggling, "Oh, so that's how it is! When I have money in the future, you can buy me some of that Milani perfume, and give me a discount!"

Lin Yupeng chuckled dryly, "Don't worry, it'll be cheap and a great deal for you, the scent is intoxicating!" But in his heart, he thought, "That perfume will make me drunk all night long, hehe!" Wen Yuqi

giggled and said, "Are you still looking for our General Manager Chen today? She's in room number 6 on the second floor!"

Lin Yupeng smiled and said, "Then I'll go! Goodbye!"

After saying that, he led Xiang Kui to the door of room number 216 on the second floor. Lin Yupeng told Xiang Kui to wait outside, then pushed the door open, went in, and closed it behind him.

She was dressed similarly to the one at the acquisition ceremony: a deep blue blazer with a white skirt, the blazer slightly open revealing a beige shirt underneath. Her slender waist was exquisitely accentuated, her breasts full and firm, and her bare legs, white and translucent like carved marble, smooth and delicate like mutton fat, were subtly alluring. Her flesh-colored stockings added a touch of seduction, and her silver-white high-heeled sandals highlighted her delicate feet. She was charming and alluring yet demure and elegant, beautiful and captivating yet exuding a noble and dignified air. She was like a sweet spring, or a warm breeze, giving a sense of tranquility and pleasure.

The private room wasn't large, but it was luxuriously decorated. Chen Lihan sat behind a round table covered with a neat red tablecloth. Seeing Lin Yupeng enter, a strange and complex emotion flashed in her clear, bright eyes. She slowly stood up and smiled, saying, "Mr. Lin, hello!" As she spoke, she gently extended her right hand.

Lin Yupeng smiled and quickly stepped forward, taking Chen Lihan's slender, beautiful hand in his. This touch felt like a sudden shift in time, transporting him back ten years to the accidental brush he'd taken with her hand. The gentle, smooth, and delicate feel was just as vivid as it was now.

Her hand was still as beautiful as a little girl's; a simple grasp was enough to leave a lingering impression. He truly wished he could hold her hand like that forever. It seemed the magic of first love was still quite powerful.

However, he couldn't hold her hand for too long, no matter how gentle it was; that would be too impolite. Lin Yupeng withdrew his hand and smiled, "Lihan, it's been a long time. How have you been?"

"I'm fine. Please sit down!" Chen Lihan gestured with her slender finger to the seat opposite him.

"Thank you!" Lin Yupeng leaned down and sat down, carefully examining Chen Lihan once more. He noticed a hint of hesitation on her exquisitely beautiful face, a touch of melancholy between her delicate eyebrows, and a fleeting, alluring gaze in her eyes, yet she dared not meet his eyes.

Besides Chen Lihan, there was another waitress in the private room. As soon as Lin Yupeng sat down, she handed him the menu.

Lin Yupeng simply ordered two dishes, neither of which were expensive. He hadn't come here to eat; besides, since becoming the vice president of Tianqiong Group, he had tasted all sorts of delicacies. Chapter 224

Li Han's Request After ordering, Lin Yupeng handed the menu to Chen Li Han. She ordered three more dishes and wanted to order more, but Lin Yupeng quickly stopped her, saying, "Hehe, don't order anymore, these are enough for me!" Chen Li Han smiled faintly, ordered a bottle of red wine and a bottle of mineral water, and then returned the menu to the waiter. The red wine was for Lin Yupeng; she never drank alcohol. The mineral water was for herself. A short while later, all the food and drinks were served. Chen Lihan dismissed the waiter and personally poured Lin Yupeng a glass of red wine, then poured herself a glass of mineral water. She picked it up and said with a smile, "President Lin! I don't drink, so I'll toast you with water instead!" Lin Yupeng felt awkward hearing her call him "President Lin." He picked up his glass but didn't drink, staring at Chen Lihan with a smile, "Lihan, before we drink, let me offer a suggestion! Please don't always call me President Lin, okay? It sounds too formal. We're classmates, even deskmates. You can call me by my name, nickname, anything, it's much more comfortable than calling me President Lin!" Chen Lihan blushed slightly and said awkwardly, "I know you're half a month older than me, so I'll call you Brother Lin!" Lin Yupeng smiled slightly, raised his glass, and drank the red wine. Chen Lihan also took a sip of mineral water. He knew she had loved drinking mineral water since she was a child; she said she liked its refreshing and tranquil feeling, just like her personality. Lin Yupeng politely ate a few bites of food, then placed his chopsticks on the table, gazing at Chen Lihan's beautiful and refined face, and asked with concern, "Lihan, what brings you here today?" Chen Lihan sighed upon hearing this, the cloud of sorrow between her brows deepening, her beautiful eyes filled with sadness, and she said softly, "It's about Fei Wenchao!" "Oh? Fei Wenchao? What happened to him?" Lin Yupeng pretended to know nothing, acting quite convincingly, and asked with feigned concern. "Someone accused him of a rape case, and he's already been detained by the police!" Chen Lihan said with a sorrowful expression, tinged with regret and resentment. "Ah? Fei Wenchao really... really did that kind of thing?" Lin Yupeng asked, feigning surprise. “Currently, we can only confirm that Fei Wenchao did have a relationship with that woman, but whether it was rape or not is still undetermined, because Fei Wenchao insists that he was drugged with an aphrodisiac before he had sex with Gao Lin.” Chen Lihan’s pretty face was flushed. Whenever she mentioned sensitive words like “rape” and “aphrodisiac,” her tone became very awkward, but she had to say it. Lin Yupeng said with a regretful expression, “Sigh, no matter what, he did something very wrong to you, but don’t be too sad! I think maybe he had no choice!” Chen Lihan said anxiously, “All the evidence is against him now. If he goes to court, he could very well be convicted of rape, and then he’ll have to go to jail!” After saying that, she raised her head, her clear, bright eyes, like a pool of autumn water and as bright as the stars in the sky, fixed on Lin Yupeng, her eyes full of expectation, and she pleaded softly, “Brother Lin, I want to ask you to help me transport …” "Use your connections to get the police to release Fei Wenchao. Just say there's no evidence against him. I'll pay whatever it costs. Only you can save him now!" Lin Yupeng was taken aback, a hint of surprise and heartache in his eyes. His heart was in turmoil, a mix of emotions churning within him. "You want me to save my rival, Fei Wenchao? Marry you? If I really did that, my 'sucking skills' would be truly unparalleled!" But when he looked at Chen Lihan's pitiful, sorrowful face, his heart softened. Lin Yupeng rarely softened, but today, he truly couldn't bear to refuse Chen Lihan. Suddenly, a question popped into his mind—why would Chen Lihan think of asking him? He was indeed the only one who could save Fei Wenchao now.

So he didn't fully agree to Chen Lihan's request. Staring at her, he asked, "Why are you asking me for help? What if I don't have the ability? Wouldn't that delay important matters?"

A resolute look flashed in Chen Lihan's beautiful eyes as she said softly, "My brother asked me to come and ask you. He said you definitely have a way to save Fei Wenchao!"

Lin Yupeng suddenly realized, it was Chen Wei! Chen Wei was Dong Bin's good friend, so it seemed this idea must have come from that old fox, Dong Bin! During their private conversation that day, Lin Yupeng had hinted that he liked Chen Lihan, and Fei Wenchao was his rival. Dong Bin used this as an excuse, going through a long and roundabout way to get Chen Lihan to ask him for help, indirectly saving Fei Wenchao. The relationship was indeed a bit complicated, but he had already figured it out.

So he smiled and said, "I can give it a try, but I can't guarantee it will work! But I have a question I've wanted to ask you for over ten years!"

He brought it up again, and before he could ask, Chen Lihan lowered her head and said softly, "I know what you want to ask. The 'he' I mentioned in the letter is Fei Wenchao!"

"So, do you have even the slightest bit of affection for me?" Lin Yupeng's eyes gleamed as he gazed at Chen Lihan and continued to press.

"I...I don't know. My mind is so confused right now. Can I not answer this question?" Chen Lihan's face flushed, her beautiful eyes glazed over.

"Alright! You don't have to answer that question, but I know how you and Fei Wenchao met!" Lin Yupeng asked again. The saying "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated" from Sun Tzu's Art of War is equally applicable in matters of the heart.

Chen Lihan's beautiful eyes sparkled as she said softly, "My father and Fei Wenchao's father were good friends. Before we were born, they jokingly said that if their families had a son and a daughter, they would marry each other. Fei Wenchao was born first, and then I was born more than three years later. Just as they said, we had a son and a daughter. So, although our families didn't say it, we both considered each other's children as our future son-in-law and daughter-in-law!"

Lin Yupeng thought to himself, "Damn! An arranged marriage in the womb? What era are we living in? Still so feudal and conservative!"

Chen Lihan continued, "Although the two families secretly arranged the marriage, they also agreed to strictly limit my contact with Fei Wenchao before we came of age. Therefore, before I turned 14, I only met him twice, both times with my parents, when the two families had gatherings together."

"What's your impression of him? Was it love at first sight?" Lin Yupeng felt a pang of jealousy. Whenever Chen Lihan mentioned Fei Wenchao, his pH level would noticeably drop. Chapter 225 Super Reversal

Chen Lihan glanced at Lin Yupeng indifferently and replied softly, "I was young then and didn't understand anything! As I grew up, I realized he was a good person, and marrying him would be very happy, especially since my family all agreed. I... I gradually accepted it in my heart." She stopped there, looking up at Lin Yupeng with a pleading expression, "Brother Lin, can we not talk about this today? My mind is very confused." Lin Yupeng smiled calmly, "It's better not to talk about it. It makes me quite uncomfortable. I can do my best to help you with your matter, but it's only because you asked me. I wouldn't easily agree to help anyone else. You should understand my feelings. I wish you happiness!" His last sentence was just to show his magnanimity. In fact, he had already planned it all out. He definitely wouldn't let Chen Lihan go; if necessary, he would force himself on her, ensuring she wouldn't fall into someone else's hands! Upon hearing this, Chen Lihan's beautiful eyes suddenly welled up with tears. Her long, delicate eyelashes trembled pitifully, and gradually, crystal-clear tears streamed down her face, tracing a sorrowful and gentle arc across her stunningly beautiful features. It seemed to instantly touch Lin Yupeng's heart, touching the softest corner of his soul. Lin Yupeng truly couldn't bear to see a woman cry, and he wondered, "I already agreed to your request, why are you crying? Are you moved by my words? That's too much!" "I've decided," Chen Lihan said firmly, stopping her sobs. "Even if you rescue him from the police station in the future, I will still break up with him!" Her words startled Lin Yupeng. He seemed not to believe his ears, repeating in a daze, "You want to break up with Fei Wenchao?" Chen Lihan said, "Yes! Because he has disappointed me so much. I've asked him so many times whether he had a relationship with Gao Linfa or not. Whether it was rape or not, I wanted to hear the truth from him, but he always denied it and even blamed me for not believing him! It wasn't until we were in the police station, faced with overwhelming evidence, that he admitted to lying to me! I hate being lied to, especially by him. We've had such a long relationship, we were already engaged, and he still lied to me. It really disappoints me! I feel that marrying a man like him..." "People are so insecure!" Lin Yupeng's heart leaped with joy upon hearing this, like a ray of sunshine suddenly breaking through a gap in the clouds, or like a football match where a team trailing 0-1 suddenly turns the tide with two goals in stoppage time. However, he didn't show any joy on his face, as that would seem gloating. He sighed and said, "Fei Wenchao really made a mistake. I think you two have had such a long-standing relationship; you should be more careful about breaking up. Both of you should be considerate and leave yourselves an out. To be honest, I really don't want to see you so heartbroken!" His tone was full of concern and tenderness, and Chen Lihan felt a surge of emotion. Lin Yupeng knew that with Chen Lihan's personality, once she made a decision, it was extremely difficult to change it. The reason he said this was to show his magnanimity and concern for her; a broad-minded man is a woman's best support. So Lin Yupeng patiently tried to persuade her a few more times, all related to Fei Wenchao. He didn't mention his relationship with Chen Lihan at all. It wasn't the right time yet, but the turning point had arrived, and he had plenty of time to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The meal lasted for over an hour. Later, Chen Lihan excused herself, left her phone number, and left the private room. Lin Yupeng took out his phone and dialed Dong Bin's secret number. "Director Dong, where are you? I need to talk to you!" Lin Yupeng said bluntly. "8 pm, come to Yixiang Teahouse on Donghai Road. I'll wait for you in the private room!" Dong Bin gave a meeting place, this time not at the police station. "Okay! See you later!" Lin Yupeng hung up the phone, mentally calculating how to say it to Dong Bin later. He was the one who advocated arresting Fei Wenchao, and now he was pleading for his release. Was the police station some kind of marketplace? Was he even bargaining? Lin Yupeng and Xiang Kui came out of the private room and headed downstairs. Just as they reached the lobby, they heard a loud commotion, so loud it seemed to shake the entire hotel. A chill ran down their spines. Looking towards the source of the noise, they saw a group of people gathered around a table in the northeast corner of the lobby. There were hotel security guards and waiters, and the commotion was coming from three diners sitting at that table. Lin Yupeng and Xiang Kui walked over and immediately spotted Wen Yuqi. Her fair arm was being tightly gripped by a middle-aged man. This man was a fat, scrawny fellow, his face covered in pockmarks, so thick even a fly would stumble if it landed on him. His complexion was sallow, and his eyes held a lewd glint, clearly a consequence of excessive lust. He was dressed in a glittering, opulent outfit, wearing four or five platinum and gemstone rings—the typical attire of a nouveau riche. Beside the scrawny man sat two burly men, presumably his bodyguards. Wen Yuqi's face turned pale with fright, and she couldn't break free from the pockmarked fat man's clutches no matter what she did. A middle-aged man who looked like a front desk manager was still explaining, "Sir, I'm so sorry, she really can't drink!"

The security guards next to him were also trying to persuade the pockmarked fat man to let go, but the guy seemed to be drunk and acting out. He wouldn't let go, his attitude was rude and arrogant, and he was cursing, "Shut your mother's mouth! What's wrong with me letting her have a drink with me? I'm here to eat, not to eat people! Aren't you hotel staff here to serve customers? How can you not drink?"

The two bodyguards next to him chimed in, "That's right! What's wrong with her having a drink with our boss? We'll give her a bigger tip!"

This time Lin Yupeng understood. The pockmarked fat man, emboldened by alcohol, wanted Wen Yuqi to drink with him, and when she refused, he started acting out.

Some nouveau riche are like that; as soon as they arrive at a hotel, they love to make things difficult for the staff, thinking that because they have money, everyone has to be subservient and at their mercy.

Lin Yupeng's anger flared up again, and he cursed inwardly, "Damn it, coming here to cause trouble? They're really asking for it!"

He strode between the pockmarked fat man and Wen Yuqi, and suddenly raised his palm, slashing at the pockmarked fat man's wrist.

Lin Yupeng used less than half his strength, but it felt like a mountain was pressing down on him. The pockmarked fat man immediately felt a piercing pain, letting out a scream of agony, and immediately released Wen Yuqi.

The

pockmarked

fat man clutched his wrist, grimacing, thinking it was broken. Actually, Lin Yupeng had held back; any more force and it would have been broken.

"Fuck your mother! Where did you come from, you little brat? Are you trying to get yourself killed?!" The pockmarked fat man caught his breath and cursed fiercely. The two bodyguards beside him abruptly stood up, glaring angrily at Lin Yupeng. At their master's command, these two dogs would leap over and bite.

Lin Yupeng gently pulled Wen Yuqi behind him, glancing at her once snow-white, translucent wrist, now red from the pockmarked fat man's grip. A pang of pain shot through him, and his anger flared even more.

Wen Yuqi trembled slightly, like a frightened fawn, hiding behind Lin Yupeng, unable to utter a word. Tears welled in her large, watery eyes, making her appear pitiful.

Lin Yupeng gave the pockmarked fat man a cold smile and said, "Where the hell did you come from, you stray dog? Daring to bark here? Speaking of which, some dogs do like to bite, but I advise you to brush your teeth before you bite! Aren't you disgusted by spewing filth from your mouth?"

Lin Yupeng's words were harsh enough to thoroughly insult the pockmarked fat man. The pockmarked fat man, his face as red as a roasted chicken, pointed at Lin Yupeng and roared, "You fucking asking for a beating! Beat him up!"

The last sentence was directed at his two bodyguards, who immediately pounced on Lin Yupeng like hungry tigers.

But before they could even touch him, they suddenly felt a blur before their eyes, followed by a piercing pain in their calves. They lost their balance and collapsed to the ground, their "tiger pounce" turning into a "dog face down."

It turned out that Lin Yupeng had intended to personally teach the two men a lesson, but Xiang Kui, standing beside him, preemptively struck first—or rather, kicked. He unleashed two rapid, powerful kicks, striking the two bodyguards' calves almost simultaneously, sending them sprawling to the ground, unable to stand.

Lin Yupeng thought to himself, "This Xiang Kui is not only a master marksman, but also incredibly skilled in Sanda (Chinese kickboxing). No wonder he's a super bodyguard!"

An elite warrior honed in the fires of war, he always strikes with a single, decisive blow!

Seeing his two bodyguards lying on the ground, howling in pain like dogs, the pockmarked fat man flew into a rage and swung his fist at Lin Yupeng. But just as his fist was halfway through its swing, he suddenly felt a tightening around his neck, followed by a sharp pain, difficulty breathing, and a powerful force lifting him off the ground.

It turned out that Xiang Kui had used his "chokehold technique" again, grabbing the pockmarked fat man's neck and lifting him up.

The pockmarked fat man's neck was quite thick, and although Xiang Kui's hand was large, he could only grasp about three-quarters of it. The smaller the point of leverage, the greater the force. The pockmarked fat man, in pain and suffocation, kept rolling his eyes back.

Lin Yupeng quickly signaled Xiang Kui to let go; any further choking would surely kill him.

Xiang Kui released his grip, and the pockmarked fat man immediately squatted down on the ground, rubbing his reddened neck with both hands, panting heavily.

Lin Yupeng sneered, "How does it feel? Let me tell you, this isn't the old Xinhang Hotel anymore. This is the Meihua Hotel, under the Tianqiong Group! Dare to come here and cause trouble? You're tired of living!"

His words were chilling, not only to the pockmarked fat man and his two bodyguards, but also to the hotel manager and security guards standing nearby, all of whom trembled at his words.

The pockmarked fat man took a breath, stood up, his eyes filled with resentment and hatred. He raised his hand as if to point at Lin Yupeng, but he didn't dare. He just sneered, "You've got guts! You're ruthless! Can you tell me who you are?"

Lin Yupeng smiled calmly, "Fine! I'll tell you, I'm Lin Yupeng, the vice president of Tianqiong Group! Remember that? When are you coming for revenge? I'm waiting for you!"

Upon hearing this, the pockmarked fat man's face changed, and a look of fear rose from his fat face. He knew very well who dared to mess with Tianqiong Group in Tianhan City? This young man was actually the vice president!

Although he was afraid inside, he still had to pretend to be tough. The pockmarked fat man sneered, "Fine! I'll remember you! Check, please!" The last sentence was said to the waiter next to him.

"The total is 320 yuan!" a waiter said tremblingly.

The pockmarked fat man pulled a five-hundred-yuan bill from his bag, slammed it on the table, and said coldly, "Keep the change!" He then glared hatefully at Lin Yupeng, turned, and hurriedly left the Meihua Hotel with his two bodyguards.

The commotion finally subsided, but Lin Yupeng was still furious. He turned to the front desk manager and coldly asked, "Who is the hotel's security captain? Call him over; I have something to say!"

Before the manager could even speak, a young man in a security guard uniform approached, smiling, "Hello, Mr. Lin, I am the hotel's security captain!"

A fierce glint flashed in Lin Yupeng's eyes, his anger rising. He raised his hand and slapped the security captain hard across the face, sending him spinning around before his face swelled up, revealing a bright red five-finger mark.

"What kind of security captain are you? Someone's causing trouble, and you're not doing anything about it?" Lin Yupeng shouted sternly

. The security captain's head was buzzing, his face burning, but he didn't dare utter a word of complaint. He could only lower his head and remain silent, looking aggrieved.

"Let me tell you! Meihua Hotel belongs to Tianqiong Group, and no one is allowed to disgrace Tianqiong Group! If anyone comes here causing trouble again, beat them up and kick them out! Although the customer is king, and the hotel is there to serve customers, if a customer dares to cause trouble, then they are our enemy! Do you understand?" Lin Yupeng's voice was loud, and almost all the diners in the lobby on the first floor heard him, and everyone looked surprised.

"Yes, yes! I understand!" the security captain said respectfully, covering his face.

Lin Yupeng turned to look at Wen Yuqi behind him, his eyes filled with concern. He asked softly, "Are you alright?"

Wen Yuqi's large, watery eyes shone with gratitude. She shook her head and whispered, "I'm fine, thank you!"

"Hehe, don't mention it! I don't think you're suitable to be a greeter. You should go back to your original position!" Lin Yupeng smiled.

"But..." Wen Yuqi wanted to say that a change of position required the front desk manager's approval, and it wasn't something she could just do on her own. However, with the front desk manager right beside her, she was too embarrassed to say it.

Knowing what she was thinking, Lin Yupeng immediately turned to the front desk manager and said coldly in a commanding tone, "Immediately transfer her back to her original position, do you hear me?" " Yes

, she can go back to her original position now!" the front desk manager replied with a forced smile. Now that the hotel belonged to the Tianqiong Group, Lin Yupeng was a level higher than Chairman Chen Wei; who dared disobey him? Not wanting to linger, Lin Yupeng helped Wen Yuqi change jobs, smiled slightly at her, softly comforted her, and then turned and walked out of the Meihua Hotel with Xiang Kui. Staring blankly at Lin Yupeng's departing figure, a blush suddenly rose on Wen Yuqi's pure and beautiful face, and a hint of reluctance flashed in her clear and gentle eyes. Lin Yupeng left the Meihua Hotel and headed straight for the place he had arranged to meet Dong Bin—Yixiang Teahouse, a teahouse built in an antique style, unique and elegant. He went straight to the third floor and saw a girl of about eighteen or nineteen years old in the lobby, wearing a cheongsam and with long hair flowing down her shoulders, playing the yangqin. The music was melodious and graceful, full of a simple and ancient artistic appeal, making people feel refreshed and relaxed. Lin Yupeng went to private room 301. He asked Xiang Kui to wait outside and pushed open the door and stepped inside. He saw Dong Bin sitting at a camphor wood table, with a tea ceremony hostess in a bright red cheongsam beside him. Her black hair was tied up in a high bun and held up with a gold hairpin. The cheongsam she wore was very slit, reaching up to her thighs, and her fair and sexy legs were faintly visible. When she moved, a glimpse of her full, snowy buttocks would be revealed through the slit, arousing the imagination. Lin Yupeng carefully observed the tea ceremony hostess for a few moments. She was strikingly beautiful, lightly made up, her beauty captivating, and her face alluring. He couldn't help but think to himself, "These days, tea ceremony hostesses are so seductive? Interesting!" Upon seeing Lin Yupeng, Dong Bin bowed slightly and smiled, "Mr. Lin, please have a seat!" Lin Yupeng didn't speak, but leaned forward and sat opposite Dong Bin, remaining silent. There were other people in the room, and he couldn't let them hear their conversation. He had to wait for the tea ceremony hostess to finish her performance. "Sir, what would you like to drink?" the red-robed tea ceremony hostess asked sweetly. Dong Bin glanced at Lin Yupeng and smiled, "Mr. Lin, what kind of tea would you like?" "Anything is fine with me! You order!" Lin Yupeng said casually. "Let's start with a pot of Da Hong Pao!" Dong Bin looked at the tea ceremony hostess, a lewd glint in his eyes. "Okay, please wait a moment!" The tea ceremony hostess turned and swayed her slender waist and full hips as she left the private room. The classical piece "High Mountains and Flowing Water" played in the room. Lin Yupeng stared at Dong Bin and asked in a deep voice, "You often go to this place, right?" Dong Bin laughed heartily, "Yes! This place is quite nice, very quiet, and the service is also very unique!" Not long after, the tea ceremony hostess returned, her beautiful eyes sparkling, carrying a large tray with tea leaves and teaware. She placed the tray on the table and then began to perform the Kung Fu tea ceremony. Chinese tea ceremony has a long history and is a symbol of elegance and taste. The steps of Kung Fu tea are quite complicated, each step having an elegant name, such as washing the cup - white crane bathing; adding tea - Guanyin entering the palace; brewing tea - high pouring from the suspended pot; skimming the foam - spring breeze caressing the face; pouring tea - Guan Gong patrolling the city; preparing tea - Han Xin commanding troops; observing the tea - appreciating the color of the tea soup; drinking tea - savoring the sweet dew, also called sipping in small sips, three sips for tasting, etc. The tea ceremony hostess moved with practiced skill and complete focus, her slender, jade-like fingers fluttering like butterflies, as if performing the most beautiful and enchanting dance in the world. Her focused expression was truly captivating. After a round of gongfu tea was completed, the private room was filled with the aroma of tea, refreshing and comforting, bringing a sense of warmth and tranquility on a hot summer day. Lin Yupeng knew little about tea ceremony, but Dong Bin seemed to be an expert. He took the aroma cup from the tea ceremony hostess, turned it clockwise once, then counterclockwise, and inhaled the fragrance with a look of rapture. Then, he picked up the tasting cup and drank the tea in three sips. Lin Yupeng followed suit, drinking a cup of tea and finding it quite delicious and enjoyable. Lin Yupeng thought to himself, "I didn't expect Dong Bin to have such good taste. Does he enjoy playing with elegance?" Little did he know that Dong Bin's next actions would deviate far from elegance, heading towards another extreme. After Dong Bin finished his tea, he said to the tea ceremony hostess, "Let's have another pot of Longjing tea, this time something special! I'll give you a bigger tip!" He deliberately emphasized the words "special" and "tip," his eyes gleaming with lewdness. The tea ceremony hostess understood, gave him a charming smile, turned and swayed as she walked away. Lin Yupeng thought to himself, "Special? What does that mean?" A short while later, the tea ceremony hostess returned, carrying a box of Longjing tea. She stood by the table and performed another round of tea ceremony, exactly the same as before. Lin Yupeng was secretly puzzled: "Is this what's special? I can't see the difference." As the tea ceremony hostess's tea ceremony neared its end, suddenly a captivating smile spread across her pretty face. Her jade-like hands slowly moved upwards, and she suddenly ripped off the buttons of her blouse! Her sudden movement startled Lin Yupeng. While he was still stunned, he saw that her upper body was completely naked, without even a bra under her cheongsam. Her pair of snow-white, high, fleshy breasts were vividly and beautifully displayed before Dong Bin and Lin Yupeng, trembling and swaying, enticing the men's greedy gazes. Her pretty face still held that sweet, seductive smile, her hands gently kneading her breasts, her cherry lips emitting alluring breaths. Dong Bin watched her performance with amusement, feeling almost ecstatic. The tea ceremony hostess laughed lasciviously, kneading her breasts for a moment before bending down, her jade-like hands playing with her beautiful breasts, picking up the teacup on the table, immersing the entire cup in her deep, alluring cleavage! Lin Yupeng's heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself, "Damn! I knew Dong Bin, that lecherous fellow, wouldn't come to any elegant place. So this Yixiang Tea House has this kind of 'special' tea ceremony performance. Sigh, what a disgrace!" He saw the tea ceremony hostess smile seductively and use her breasts to hold the teacup. Because she had spent some time kneading it earlier, the tea in the cup wasn't very hot, and it didn't feel too hot against her breasts; it was all within a normal person's tolerance. She slowly moved closer to Dong Bin, and Dong Bin also moved closer, slowly burying his face between her breasts. He took the teacup in his mouth, and as the tea ceremony hostess leaned forward, she slowly drank the tea. While Dong Bin sipped the "gentle tea," one hand reached inside the hostess's cheongsam and pinched her full, alluring buttocks. Chapter 228 Taking Advantage of the Beauty After finishing his tea, Dong Bin left the gentle sea of the young lady's chest, took a deep breath, and said with a look of intoxication, "So fragrant!" This was a double entendre, referring both to the fragrance of the tea and subtly alluding to the aroma of the milk. Lin Yupeng sighed inwardly, "Truly worthy of being called Director Hua Hua!" "President Lin, would you like to have a cup like this too?" Dong Bin grinned wickedly at Lin Yupeng. "Forget it! We've had enough fun, shouldn't we get down to business?" Lin Yupeng said with a straight face, but inwardly he thought, "Can I still enjoy the leftover tea you've already drunk?" Dong Bin smiled slightly and said to the tea ceremony hostess, "This is none of your business, you can leave!"

The tea ceremony hostess smiled sweetly, put on her upper garment, and gracefully walked out.

Lin Yupeng stared at Dong Bin and sneered, "Director Dong, did you come here for tea or tofu?"

Dong Bin chuckled, "Both! Alas, it's a pity that we can only have small tofu here, but no big tofu!"

Lin Yupeng knew very well that the "big tofu" Dong Bin was referring to was sexual services, commonly known as sex.

He chuckled and got to the point, saying, "I'm here today because of Fei Wenchao's case!"

A glint of lightning flashed in Dong Bin's eyes as he smiled and said, "That case? Fei Wenchao raped Gao Lin, the evidence is solid, and it was all handled according to your wishes!"

Lin Yupeng's sharp eyes fixed on Dong Bin, and he said in a deep voice, "Isn't the case still pending? That makes things easier. Now I'm telling you to immediately overturn the case, say there's insufficient evidence, and release Fei Wenchao without charge!"

Dong Bin chuckled and said, "Mr. Lin, are you joking? You tell me to arrest Fei Wenchao and I'll arrest him, and you tell me to release him and I'll release him? Do you think my police station is a marketplace?"

Lin Yupeng sneered, "Whether it's a marketplace or not, you know best. I want to remind you, isn't releasing Fei Wenchao exactly what you want?" His tone was full of sarcasm.

"Then I don't understand, you initially advocated for Fei Wenchao to be convicted of rape, and now you're advocating for his release. What's the reason for such a big change?" Dong Bin asked, his eyes flashing coldly.

"Sigh! I originally wanted Fei Wenchao to spend a few years in jail, but some cunning guy suggested that my sweetheart Chen Lihan's brother ask her to plead for Fei Wenchao. I'm a sentimental person, so I had no choice but to agree to her request!" Lin Yupeng's eyes sharpened, staring intently at Dong Bin as if trying to pierce his heart. The implication in his words was that Dong Bin was the one who came up with the idea.

Dong Bin chuckled and said, "What you said isn't comprehensive. I can supplement it for you. You've already achieved your goal; Chen Lihan has decided to break up with Fei Wenchao, so you've done her a favor, right?"

Lin Yupeng chuckled dryly and said, "As expected of an old policeman, your analysis is spot on! Who handled this case? Is he reliable?"

Dong Bin smiled smugly, "Han Dong from the second team of our bureau's criminal investigation team. Don't worry, he's one of us! He's my nephew, absolutely reliable!"

Lin Yupeng nodded. The Han Dong that Dong Bin mentioned should be the young policeman who brought Peng Hongliang to the chief's office that day.

"So, when will Fei Wenchao be released?" Lin Yupeng asked again.

"Release him tomorrow! It's a small case, no questions asked! But I hope this kind of thing happens less often in the future. After all, not everyone in the police station is my man. If we slip up, it won't be good for either of us!" Dong Bin chuckled dryly.

Lin Yupeng came out of Yixiang Teahouse, got into his car, and dialed the phone number Chen Lihan had given him. After two rings, Chen Lihan's soft, melodious voice, like celestial music, came from the other end: "Hello!"

"Lihan, it's me! Lin Yupeng!" Lin Yupeng smiled.

"Is there any progress on Fei Wenchao's matter?" Chen Lihan asked with concern.

She couldn't stop talking about Fei Wenchao. Lin Yupeng felt a pang of sadness; it seemed her feelings for Fei Wenchao were truly hard to sever! Lin Yupeng chuckled and said, "Of course, your business is my business! I just found Director Dong of the Dongwan Branch, and he gave me face. He'll release him tomorrow. Insufficient evidence, no charge!"

Chen Lihan was surprised and delighted. "Ah? So fast! Thank you so much! How much did it cost?" Lin Yupeng said

, half-laughing and half-crying, "It didn't cost any money. Why would such a small matter cost money? I can settle it with just a word!"

Chen Lihan said softly, "Oh, thank you then!"

Lin Yupeng laughed heartily, "You're welcome! I've already said thank you twice. Isn't that too formal? You don't look too well today. Have you been having trouble sleeping lately? Try to go to bed early tonight, keep your feet warm, and listen to some light music before bed. These can improve your sleep quality!" He wanted to continue, but suddenly remembered that this wasn't a class, so he decided to stop here.

He knew Chen Lihan had suffered from insomnia and vivid dreams since childhood, and her health wasn't very good. When Lin Yupeng learned of this, he searched everywhere for ways to improve her sleep quality, and that's when his interest in medicine began.

"Okay, I understand!" Chen Lihan said faintly, her tone a little tired. It seemed Lin Yupeng was right;

she hadn't been sleeping well lately. "I won't bother you anymore. Get some rest! When you can't sleep, try counting goats, or think about your heels, haha!" Lin Yupeng smiled.

"Counting goats" and "thinking about your heels" were two "secret weapons" he told Chen Lihan after all the scientific methods for treating insomnia had failed.

Chen Lihan smiled gently, said "Goodbye," and hung up the phone.

Lin Yupeng had barely put his phone down for two seconds when it rang again. He thought to himself, "Pretty busy tonight, huh? Who could it be?"

Looking down at the caller ID, he saw it was Ling Yan's number. He quickly answered, smiling, "Sister Yan, hello! How did the interview go?"

Ling Yan giggled, "How could it be? With you protecting me, of course I passed! I'll officially start work next Monday!"

Lin Yupeng smiled, "Congratulations, Sister Yan!"

Ling Yan giggled, "It's all thanks to you! Are you free this weekend? I'd like to treat you to dinner to thank you in person!"

Lin Yupeng's eyes darted around, and he said hesitantly, "I'm busy this weekend, can we reschedule?"

Ling Yan said with a hint of regret, "Okay then, I know you're busy, hehe."

After chatting for a few more minutes, Lin Yupeng hung up again. By then, his car had already entered his residential area.

Back home, he found Fang Na reading in the bedroom. Upon seeing Lin Yupeng, her pretty face lit up with joy, and she said sweetly, "Honey, you're back!"

(Chapter 229 Ideological

Work)

"Hehe, missed me, didn't you?" Lin Yupeng sat on the bed and pulled her into his arms.

A look of confusion flashed across Fang Na's face, and she said softly, "Honey, a girl called you earlier. She said she couldn't get through to your cell phone, so she called our house.

Her name is Qin Xue." Lin Yupeng was taken aback. Qin Xue hadn't contacted him recently. He thought about how she would be back in two weeks, and how his phone had been busy with Chen Lihan and Ling Yan. Of course, Qin Xue couldn't get through at that time.

"Oh? What did she say?" Lin Yupeng asked with concern.

"She asked who I was and what our relationship was..." Fang Na said quietly.

"And what did you say?" Lin Yupeng asked with a smile.

"I told her I was your girlfriend, and she hung up after that," Fang Na said, her pretty face slightly confused.

"She's my girlfriend too, do you mind?" Lin Yupeng gazed at Fang Na's stunningly beautiful face and asked softly.

Fang Na's eyes were filled with tenderness and affection. Hearing this, she gently shook her head and said, "I don't mind, as long as you don't abandon me! I love you, and if you don't want me anymore, I'll die! I'll always be yours!"

Lin Yupeng's heart warmed, and he hugged her even tighter, saying softly, "Are you talking nonsense again? How could I not want you? You'll always be my darling! My love for you will never change." He'd gotten used to it now, and cheesy sweet nothings just flowed from his lips.

Fang Na smiled happily and buried her head in his chest. Lin Yupeng thought to himself, "It seems the woman I personally transformed is truly devoted to me! She loves me deeply and passionately, and doesn't mind if I have other women. Now, all I need to do is talk to Qin Xue. I don't think it'll be too difficult, right?"

Thinking this, he took out his phone and dialed Qin Xue's number. Soon, Qin Xue's sweet voice came through: "Honey, is that you?"

"Yes, it's me! Did you just call me?" Lin Yupeng asked.

"Yes! The girl who answered said she's your girlfriend, is that true?" Qin Xue's voice was filled with doubt.

"Yes! I told you before that I'm very capable and will be doing great things in the future. I can't possibly have only one woman, but I promise to be responsible for you for life and will never abandon you. You haven't forgotten what I said, have you?" Lin Yupeng said softly.

"No, but I can't accept that you have other women right now." Qin Xue's sweet voice was tinged with sadness.

"Then think it over carefully! Which would cause you more pain: losing me or accepting that I have other women?" Lin Yupeng asked seriously.

Qin Xue remained silent. Lin Yupeng continued, "Although I've taken your body, you can still find happiness after leaving me. I know that many men nowadays have a virginity complex, but I can perform hymenoplasty. Don't think I'm a doctor anymore; the surgery is very simple. Once you're a virgin again, as long as you don't tell anyone, no one will know, and you can still find happiness!"

"Waaah, I don't want anyone else, I only love you! I really can't live without you!" Under Lin Yupeng's powerful psychological offensive, Qin Xue finally gave in. Her feelings for Lin Yupeng were as deep as Fang Na's; losing him would be worse than death.

Lin Yupeng knew Qin Xue wouldn't leave him. Hearing her slightly choked voice, he gently comforted her, "Darling, are you missing me? School starts in two weeks, then we can see each other again. I'll introduce you to my girlfriend; she's just as cute as you. You two will get along very well."

Qin Xue said sweetly, "Great! Actually, I know you can't only have me as your woman. You... you're so capable, I can't satisfy you alone." Lin Yupeng chuckled

dryly, "So you two beauties have to work together to have any chance of defeating me!"

"You're so naughty!" Qin Xue said sweetly, her tone tinged with a faint longing.

"Hehe, I have good news for you! Our company allocated me a villa. When you come back, we'll have a big house to live in! Aren't you happy?" Lin Yupeng asked with a smile.

Qin Xue giggled, "Wow! Really? That's great!"

"Hehe, it's still under renovation. I went to see it, the bed is huge! We can play 'one dragon, two phoenixes' games!" Lin Yupeng chuckled dryly, already imagining the passionate scene of sharing a bed with two beauties.

"Ugh! Your mind is full of those naughty thoughts..." Qin Xue said softly, her tone tinged with ambiguity.

"By the way, why haven't you contacted me lately?" Lin Yupeng changed the subject.

"Sigh, my mother is sick, and I'm taking care of her at the hospital!" Qin Xue said in a low voice. "Ah? Your mother is sick

? What's wrong? Is it serious?" Lin Yupeng asked with concern.

"Sigh, a stroke, she's being treated at the hospital, and she's recovering well!" Qin Xue said with a hint of melancholy.

"Oh! If it's not good, come to the First Affiliated Hospital of Tianhan Hospital for treatment. I'll help her develop a rehabilitation plan!" Lin Yupeng said sincerely.

"Let me see! I doubt she'll agree, afraid of the cost!" Qin Xue said.

"Oh, does your aunt need money for her medical treatment? I have some. Just tell me how much you need, and I'll wire it to you!" Lin Yupeng knew Qin Xue's family was struggling financially.

"No need, my mother is very strong-willed. I haven't told her about our relationship yet, and she won't use your money!" Qin Xue said hesitantly.

"Oh, alright then! Take good care of your aunt during her treatment, and be careful not to overwork yourself. I won't allow it if you look thinner when you come back, hehe!" Lin Yupeng laughed heartily, chatted with Qin Xue for a while longer, and then hung up the phone.

Fang Na nestled in Lin Yupeng's arms, silently listening to his conversation with Qin Xue. By the end, her pretty face was full of concern, probably worried about Qin Xue's mother's condition. What a kind and innocent woman!

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yupeng's hands began to roam irregularly over Fang Na's sexy and alluring body. They had only been intimate for a little over an hour that morning, and he was still unsatisfied, savoring the experience all day. Now, he was going to enjoy himself tonight.

His hands explored every inch of Fang Na's body, finally stripping her naked. Fang Na responded passionately, gently removing his restraints. Soon, their two fiery bodies intertwined, raising the sails of love and sailing together into the ocean of ecstasy.

Another passionate, sleepless night! As a passionate poem describes: "Flower soldiers and moonlit formations secretly attack, long accustomed to the open road through the camp. When the white snow melts, white remains; when the red flowers fall, no red remains. My heart alone knows the flowing spring, who knows the fiery joy within? I believe the general has many advantages, but I rise before the fifth watch."

Chapter 230

: The Trap of Gentleness

The next morning, Lin Yupeng woke up very early. He hadn't slept much the night before; his energy was always abundant, especially after making love. Sometimes he wondered why he had this reaction, probably related to the physical enhancement he had undergone recently.

Fang Na was still fast asleep, the lingering scent of love still clinging to her delicate body. Her long eyelashes fluttered adorably, and a sweet smile graced her beautiful, diamond-like lips, making her incredibly charming. It

was her day off. After getting up, Lin Yupeng quickly ate breakfast and returned to the bedroom. He found Fang Na still fast asleep; she needed two or three hours to recover from last night's passionate encounter. Although both she and Lin Yupeng had undergone enhancements, a woman's constitution was inherently weaker than a man's, and her overall energy was somewhat less than Lin Yupeng's.

Lin Yupeng went to the lab and took out a savings book containing tens of thousands of yuan—his settlement allowance after graduating with his doctorate and the money he had earned over the past two years.

He took the savings book and left home with Xiang Kui, withdrawing 50,000 yuan in cash from the bank. To withdraw more, he needed to make an appointment, so Lin Yupeng scheduled a withdrawal of 10,000 yuan for the next day. His career was currently experiencing rapid growth, and his expenses were increasing; he needed to have sufficient funds at home and on hand. As the saying goes, money talks.

After leaving the bank, Lin Yupeng went to the supermarket and bought some daily necessities, vegetables, meat, and eggs. When he returned home, Fang Na was already up, had just finished showering, and was combing her hair in the bedroom. Lin Yupeng handed her the facial cleanser and moisturizer he had bought for her. Fang Na happily accepted them, smiling sweetly, and said, "Thank you, honey! These cosmetics must be expensive, right?"

"Not at all, they're all specially designed for your skin!" Lin Yupeng chuckled. Fang Na's skin was already radiant and glowing even without cosmetics; using the carefully selected skincare products from Lin Yupeng only enhanced her beauty.

In the morning, Lin Yupeng and Fang Na watched TV and played computer games together. Right after lunch, Lin Yupeng's phone rang.

His heart skipped a beat: "This is trouble again!" He quickly answered the phone, and Xiao Ru's sweet but slightly anxious voice came from the other end: "President Lin, are you free?"

Lin Yupeng was taken aback and quickly replied: "Yes, what's wrong?"

"You... could you come to my dorm room? There's a mouse running around in my room, and I'm very scared. Can you help me catch it?" Xiao Ru's tone was filled with fear and pleading.

Lin Yupeng chuckled inwardly: "This Xiaoru is really something. She can even shoot a gun, yet she's afraid of mice? Sigh, no wonder. Some women are just like that. Sometimes they're so brave they wouldn't even blink an eye at killing someone, and other times they're so timid they scream at the sight of a tiny cockroach."

"Don't be afraid, I'm coming right away! Where's your dorm?" Lin Yupeng asked, feigning ignorance.

"Logistics Building, Room 2301!" Xiaoru replied anxiously.

After hanging up, Lin Yupeng's mind raced. He suddenly remembered that Chairman Jin had been pressuring Xiaoru to find some "opportunity" to act a few days ago. Could it be that Xiaoru was about to carry out his orders today? The possibility of mice in the dorm was extremely low. The Tianqiong Group's employee dormitories were known for their cleanliness and tidiness; not to mention mice, even flies and cockroaches were rare.

"That's just an excuse. Xiaoru definitely has something to say to me! Is she trying to seduce me again?" Lin Yupeng thought to himself. But whatever Xiaoru's purpose was, he was determined to investigate this "gentle trap" and see what kind of person this mysterious and unpredictable little beauty was.

In short, he believed that Xiaoru wouldn't harm him, because he worked in the same office as her during the day, and there were plenty of opportunities for her to harm him, but Xiaoru had never intended to.

Lin Yupeng hung up the phone, turned to Fang Na with an apologetic smile, and said, "I have to go out this afternoon. A friend wants to talk to me about something."

Whether it was Lin Yupeng's business or personal matters, as long as he didn't bring it up, Fang Na never pried. Hearing this, she smiled sweetly and said, "Go ahead, honey! Come back early!"

Lin Yupeng gently kissed her beautiful face, then turned and left home. Xiang Kui followed behind him. The two went to the parking lot downstairs, got into their car, and headed straight for Tianqiong Group.

Upon arriving at the logistics building of the Tianqiong Group, Lin Yupeng took the elevator directly to room 2301, Xiaoru's dormitory.

He had Xiang Kui stand guard outside. He gently knocked three times, and after a short while, the door opened, and Xiaoru peeked out. Upon seeing Lin Yupeng, she immediately flashed a charming smile and sweetly said, "President Lin, you've arrived! Please come in!"

Lin Yupeng stepped inside and closed the door behind him.

"President Lin, please have a seat!" Xiaoru's beautiful eyes sparkled with allure as she pointed to a bamboo chair in the room and said sweetly.

Lin Yupeng didn't sit down, his eyes darting around, and he asked with concern, "Where's the mouse? Let me catch it for you first!"

Xiaoru smiled sweetly, extending her delicate, fair hand to gently press Lin Yupeng's shoulder, making him sit down in the chair, and said coquettishly, "No rush! Sit down and rest for a while!"

Lin Yupeng's heart skipped a beat when he saw Xiaoru's alluring eyes: "Damn! I knew you lured me here under the pretense of catching a mouse; there's definitely something going on here."

He sat down in the bamboo chair, carefully examining the beautiful woman before him... The stunningly beautiful Xiaoru was in her dormitory, so she was dressed rather provocatively. She wore a beige low-cut sleeveless top, revealing her fair, delicate breasts, lotus-root-like arms, and slender, exquisite waist—a truly captivating sight. Her lower body was clad in a white miniskirt that barely covered her panties; a slightly larger step would expose her. Her sexy, shapely legs were almost completely bare, displayed before Lin Yupeng. She wore no socks, and her beautiful feet, like ivory carved from white jade, were crystal clear and radiant.

Lin Yupeng's heart fluttered, and he felt his mouth go dry. Fortunately, he had seen many beautiful women and possessed a certain immunity; otherwise, he would have definitely gotten a nosebleed.

In terms of figure, Xiaoru was slightly thinner than Fang Na, the perfect woman personally crafted by Lin Yupeng. However, in terms of beauty, she was absolutely no less stunning than Fang Na. They could be said to have their own unique charms. But Xiaoru's delicate, innate allure and gentle grace were even more captivating to men. No wonder countless men fell in love with her, especially Wei Qifeng, who lost his life because of her.

Xiaoru's beauty was like a delicately blooming peony. Her serene and graceful face, her lithe and supple body, and her naturally charming and alluring demeanor were enough to drive any man in the world mad with infatuation.

(Chapter 231 Fatal Temptation)

Every

gesture Xiaoru made seemed to possess boundless charm, like drinking fine wine, refreshing and invigorating; a thousand kinds of charm, a myriad of allure, truly a rare beauty, making one feel pity for her.

Lin Yupeng stared at Xiaoru directly and brazenly, while Xiaoru looked back at him, her beautiful eyes, gentle as water, shimmering with a pure and sweet smile.

After about a minute, a strange, melancholic light flashed in Xiaoru's eyes, quickly replaced by a pool of tender, affectionate tears. She gently bit her red, plump lips, as if making a decision in her heart. Her delicate hands suddenly moved up and slowly unbuttoned her blouse, gently tossing the beige top onto the bedside table. She was now only wearing a white bra, highlighting her high, full breasts. Then, her hands quickly moved down, pulling off her miniskirt, revealing her beautiful and alluring body almost naked to Lin Yupeng.

A surge of lust welled up within Lin Yupeng, his mind racing and unable to control itself. He thought to himself, "Is Xiaoru serious? No way, she's Chairman Jin's goddaughter. Why would she seduce me like this?" Before

he could ponder this further, Xiaoru's body swayed like a lotus leaf in the wind. Her eyes, filled with seductive allure, fixed on Lin Yupeng as she spoke in her uniquely sweet and cloyingly seductive voice, "President Lin, do I look beautiful?"

"Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful!" Lin Yupeng exclaimed, his gaze fixed on her alluring figure.

"Then…do you like me?" Xiaoru blinked her beautiful eyes coquettishly, asking provocatively.

"I like you! Anyone who doesn't wouldn't be a man!" Lin Yupeng's eyes blazed with fire as he chuckled dryly.

"Then now you'll take my virginity! I hope you'll cherish it!" With that, a resolute glint flashed in Xiaoru's eyes, her face flushed crimson. She gently bit her lip and then threw herself into Lin Yupeng's arms.

After Xiaoru's fragrant, delicate, soft, and smooth body clung to Lin Yupeng, he suddenly felt a dryness in his mouth and a surge of lust quickly spread through his body. His desire was high and uncontrollable; he wanted to take this beautiful woman to bed and make love to her at will.

However, he retained a sliver of clarity in his mind, and his doubts temporarily controlled the raging lust within him. He decided to play the role of a gentleman for a while, and find out the situation before acting. Xiaoru was a woman of unfathomable depth; could he just take her so easily? Wouldn't there be consequences?

"Why are you doing this? What exactly is going on?" Lin Yupeng let Xiaoru's delicate body lie in his arms, his eyes flashing with a sharp light,

and asked in a deep voice. "Because... I like you too. Take me!" Xiaoru murmured in Lin Yupeng's arms, her gentle little hands beginning to knead and tease Lin Yupeng's sensitive areas, reigniting his lust.

Lin Yupeng forced himself to steady himself, pressed down on Xiaoru's slender, jade-like fingers, and gazed into her alluring yet melancholic eyes. He said sternly, "Although I like you very much, I won't take you if you don't tell the truth! I'm leaving!" He made a move to push Xiaoru away.

Xiaoru quickly hooked her lotus-root-like, snow-white arms around Lin Yupeng's neck, a hint of resentment and sorrow flashing in her captivating eyes. She sighed softly, "This is all Chairman Jin's arrangement. He wants me to give myself to you and serve you for the rest of my life!"

"I still don't understand why!" Lin Yupeng said, but inwardly he thought, "It really was Chairman Jin who instructed her to do this. He pushed Xiaoru to me; could it be that he wants to use her to bind my heart, making me wholeheartedly serve him?"

Xiao Ru's pretty face flushed red, and she said anxiously, "Don't you understand what I'm saying? Although Chairman Jin has never met you, he appreciates you very much. From inviting you to join the Tianqiong Group to promoting you to vice president, it was all his doing. And me, I'm a gift he gave you, the purpose of which is to make you serve our group well, so that money, beauty, and power will come rolling in! If you don't want me, he will give me to someone else, but I don't like anyone but you. If you don't want me, I'd rather die!" Xiao Ru said the last sentence with a bit of her lip, her tone very firm.

Lin Yupeng chuckled upon hearing this. He now understood everything. Chairman Jin wanted to use Xiao Ru to win his heart, so that he could have whatever he wanted in the future. But this came with a condition: Lin Yupeng had to work wholeheartedly for the Tianqiong Group. What kind of work? Nothing more than engaging in the Tianqiong Group's old business—drug manufacturing and trafficking, and certainly other illegal activities as well.

Now, Xiaoru is Jin Dong's test for Lin Yupeng. If he doesn't want her, it means he's not on Jin Dong's side, which would be troublesome. He would lose everything—money, status, and women—and even his life would be in danger. Lin Yupeng's previous plans would all be ruined.

Right now, he has no choice but to play along and get Xiaoru first. Actually, the main reason is that Lin Yupeng has long admired Xiaoru and has been hoping for a chance to be with her. He doesn't want to be a saint; with beauty before him, the temptation is endless. He'd enjoy it to the fullest!

Thinking this, Lin Yupeng stopped resisting. His hands began to move erratically, first tearing off Xiaoru's bra, instantly exposing her two snow-white, firm breasts.

Lin Yupeng, panting heavily, began to squeeze and knead those breasts. Xiaoru's lips parted slightly, emitting seductive moans, sweet and delicate like celestial music, which only intensified his desire! Aroused by this, Lin Yupeng buried his head in that "gentle haven," sucking on the most luscious red fruit within.

Xiaoru's eyes were alluring, and her jade-like hands began to undress Lin Yupeng. After a moment, his upper body was completely naked.

Lin Yupeng was utterly frenzied, intoxicated, excited, and consumed by lust. He kissed Xiaoru's soft breasts incessantly, feeling their warmth, smoothness, and intoxicating fragrance. Even the sweetest and most fragrant fruit in the world could not compare, making him unable to resist. His hands were not idle either, wantonly caressing and kneading her beautiful, snow-white legs. Xiaoru's jade-like legs were as warm as a whisper, as smooth as cream, and as supple as butter, with a faint, alluring pink hue, like a blooming crabapple blossom that had unintentionally sprinkled pollen evenly on her legs, white with a hint of pink, extremely tempting.

Lin Yupeng's hand moved up Xiaoru's knee, first kneading her inner thigh, then sliding in to explore that mysterious valley.

"Ah—" Xiaoru's body trembled slightly, her sweet and melodious moans growing louder. (

Chapter 232: Fallen Petals Are Not Heartless

)

Lin Yupeng carried Xiaoru to the bed, removing her panties. Her fair, delicate, and breathtakingly beautiful body lay before him. He quickly removed his lower body restraints, then leaned down. He saw Xiaoru lying naked on the bed, her pretty face flushed, infinitely shy, her clear, autumn-water-like eyes shimmering with a thousand charms and ten thousand allurements, so tender they seemed to drip with water.

Lin Yupeng lowered his head and kissed Xiaoru's snow-white forehead twice. Xiaoru naturally... He closed his eyes. He began to kiss downwards, his favorite thing being Xiaoru's captivating, mesmerizing eyes. He licked her delicate, long eyelashes with his tongue, kissed her petal-like eyelids, and then his lips slid down to Xiaoru's luscious cherry lips, their tongues intertwining in a passionate embrace.

At that moment, Lin Yupeng's mind flashed back to the scene a few days ago when Xiaoru offered him her first kiss, just as intoxicating as now, waves of tingling pleasure washing over him. But he wasn't satisfied with just kissing her cherry lips. After a passionate kiss, he moved downwards, kissing her lower abdomen, licking her snow-white thighs, and finally approaching Xiaoru's exquisitely beautiful lower body, exclaiming in surprise, "So beautiful!"

Just as described in ancient erotic poems: "Her jade-like body is so beautiful it would tempt even Chang'e, her jade gate exudes a fragrance like fine wine. When the gate opens, it is as vibrant as a peach blossom, when the gate closes, it is as full and round as white gold. "

Lin Yupeng couldn't resist kissing the beautiful flower bud. The sweet fragrance was intoxicating, and he exclaimed, "So fragrant!" Xiaoru

's body had never experienced such intense stimulation before; even her moans trembled, and her delicate body twisted gently, perhaps to make her feel better.

Lin Yupeng knew that Xiaoru was a virgin; he couldn't let the stimulation linger. He needed to get straight to the point.

"Bear with it, I'm coming in!" He rolled over and pressed himself against Xiaoru's jade-like body, whispering softly in her ear.

Xiaoru bit her lip tightly, nodded gently, and slowly closed her captivating eyes, awaiting a surge of carnal desire.

Although his body was surging with passion, Lin Yupeng still entered Xiaoru's body gently. He saw Xiaoru's delicate eyelashes flutter, her brows furrow slightly, as if she were enduring the onslaught of pain.

Lin Yupeng didn't stop; he moved, only in this way could he alleviate her pain. Xiaoru also enthusiastically responded to his rhythm, and the two naked, fiery bodies moved like bees and butterflies, gradually reaching a climax. Xiaoru's willow brows relaxed, and waves of pleasure surged within them, each wave stronger and more intoxicating than the last.

The fusion of spirit and flesh always brings unparalleled joy. Lin Yupeng and Xiaoru felt as if their bodies were floating upwards, as if riding on clouds. Then, they quickly fell back down, a tingling pleasure coursing through their bodies. Just as they seemed to be near the ground, they felt their bodies begin to float upwards again, higher than before, with more intense, more comfortable, more joyful, and more wonderful pleasure…

Lin Yupeng and Xiaoru passionately entwined for an entire afternoon. Finally, Lin Yupeng stopped first, because he noticed that Xiaoru was becoming increasingly exhausted. How could a young girl who had just lost her virginity withstand his forceful advances?

He reluctantly left Xiaoru's body, and saw the bed dotted with blood, like delicate plum blossoms in full bloom.

Lin Yupeng couldn't help but recall a well-known poem: "Fallen petals are not heartless things, they turn into spring mud to nourish the flowers." "Although the original poem was used to describe the noble sentiments of fallen flowers, he felt it was also fitting to describe girls who gave their virginity to the men they loved.

If Mr. Gong Zizhen knew this in the afterlife, he would surely jump out of his coffin in anger upon hearing Lin Yupeng's 'brilliant interpretation.'

He lowered his head again and gently kissed away the tears that welled up on her beautiful face from excitement, nervousness, and joy.

Xiaoru was exhausted and fell asleep in Lin Yupeng's arms. Looking at her beautiful face, Lin Yupeng was filled with mixed emotions. He had longed to possess Xiaoru's body, and today he had truly obtained it." After the initial pleasure, a sense of unease crept into his heart. The "honey trap" had worked its magic again.

The situation was clear: as long as Lin Yupeng remained loyal to Chairman Jin, Xiaoru would always be his. If he and Chairman Jin were of one mind, then Xiaoru and he would be of one mind as well. However, Lin Yupeng had no desire to be controlled by Chairman Jin, nor by anyone else, especially since he had never even met Chairman Jin.

Lin Yupeng believed that everyone had a vulnerable side; if he could strike at the heart of the matter, winning Xiaoru's heart would be a piece of cake. At least for now, he had already conquered her body.

"Sigh, money, money! When will a few million fall from the sky? I'll buy Li Ke's memory chip, and controlling Xiaoru will be a piece of cake," Lin Yupeng sighed inwardly.

Xiaoru slept soundly and sweetly, a few beads of sweat on her forehead. There was no air conditioning in the room, only an electric fan, which offered no relief from the summer heat.

Having just enjoyed passionate lovemaking, Xiaoru's body was covered in fragrant sweat, clinging tightly to Lin Yupeng. The smooth, sticky feeling was equally intoxicating.

However, excessive sweating wasn't good for Xiaoru's health, and Lin Yupeng felt a pang of concern. He sat up in bed, got dressed, and walked around the room until he finally found a small cartoon fan with a beautiful flower fairy drawn on it.

Lin Yupeng sat on the bed and gently fanned Xiaoru to cool her down. He fanned her for over two hours, showing her such tender care and affection—this was the first time he'd ever done this for a woman.

Xiaoru opened her beautiful eyes again. It was already past 7 p.m. Lin Yupeng was beside her, gently fanning her. A wave of gratitude washed over her. She smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you!"

"Hehe, feeling better? I'm so sorry, I was just too excited and a little rough," Lin Yupeng said gently. "

It's alright, my body already belongs to you. I'll give it to you anytime you want!" Xiaoru said shyly.

Lin Yupeng smiled slightly, gently stroking her long, smooth black hair, and said with concern, "Are you hungry? Come on, let's go out and get something to eat!"

Xiaoru smiled sweetly, started to put on her clothes, and when she saw the bloodstain on the bed, a blush rose to her cheeks.

She finished dressing, combed her hair in front of the mirror, and then left the dormitory with Lin Yupeng.

Chapter 233 The Fat Pig Arches

the Gate

Xiang Kui had been standing guard outside the gate, following Lin Yupeng and Xiao Ru without moving. The three of them took the elevator downstairs and out of the logistics complex. They first went to the garage to retrieve the Audi, got in, and Xiang Kui drove to the main gate of the Tianqiong Group for a routine security check.

Qin Xi, the captain of the second security team, was supervising the security check at the gate today. When he saw Lin Yupeng and Xiao Ru together, a flash of jealousy quickly crossed his sharp eyes, which was caught by the keen-eyed Lin Yupeng!

Looking at the jealousy in Qin Xi's eyes, Lin Yupeng sighed inwardly, "Sigh, my Xiao Ru is really charming. Will Qin Xi become the second Wei Qifeng? I hope not!"

Lin Yupeng had a good impression of Qin Xi, and he didn't want Qin Xi to follow Wei Qifeng's old path—that was a dead end! Qin Xi seemed much smarter than Wei Qifeng, but if he really became as infatuated as Wei Qifeng in the future, Lin Yupeng would eliminate him without hesitation.

Lin Yupeng and Xiao Ru had dinner at a nearby seafood restaurant, and then Lin Yupeng took her back to her dormitory. By the time they left Tianqiong Group, it was almost 10 p.m.

Xiang Kui drove Lin Yupeng home. Halfway there, Lin Yupeng's phone suddenly rang. It was Lang Zikun calling. His voice was noticeably softer than usual, even a bit obsequious.

Lin Yupeng knew in his heart that the AV video he had sent must have taken effect. He was currently worried about not having enough money to buy memory chips, so this was a good opportunity to squeeze some money out of him. This was like a fat pig entering the door!

"Director Lang, hello!" Lin Yupeng chuckled dryly.

"Hello, Mr. Lin, do you have time tomorrow? I would like to invite you to visit and give me some guidance at my 'Star of the Day'." Lang Zikun said respectfully.

"Sure, your company doesn't close on Sundays either?" Lin Yupeng asked with a smile.

"Hey! Film companies don't have fixed days off. When we're rushing to finish a film, we can't relax! If we take a break, the actors' bodies relax, and when we resume filming, they're not as excited, and it's hard to get into character, resulting in poor quality. That's why we strive for a seamless shoot!" Lang Zikun spoke fluently, but Lin Yupeng thought he was directing an adult film.

"Okay! What time tomorrow?" Lin Yupeng asked with a smile.

"9 a.m., I'll arrange everything!" Lang Zikun replied.

After hanging up, Lin Yupeng mentally planned how to extort money from Lang Zikun the next day. The guy looked so fat and ruddy; there was bound to be plenty to make money off him.

Back home, after a short while with Fang Na, he went to bed. The passion from his afternoon with Xiao Ru hadn't faded, and his lovemaking with Fang Na that night wasn't as intense as the day before.

The next morning, Lin Yupeng got up early. After breakfast, he told Fang Na that he had an event at the company and needed to attend. Just after 8 a.m., he and Xiang Kui left home.

He went to the bank and withdrew 200,000 yuan. Of course, this wasn't for Lang Zikun; he wanted to keep the money at home for emergencies. As for going to Lang Zikun's film and television company today, he planned to extort some money, estimating that he would return with double the amount in his pocket.

Lang Zikun's two film and entertainment companies, "Today's Star" and "Tomorrow's Light," were located on Xin'an Street behind the Tianqiong Group. The two companies were right next to each other, their entrances gleaming with gold and their names framed with calligraphy by celebrities in the film and television industry.

Lin Yupeng and Xiang Kui got out of the car and saw two ten-story buildings standing before them, the office buildings of "Today's Star" and "Tomorrow's Light," with a parking lot in between.

A security guard from "Today's Star" greeted them with a smile, saying, "Are you Mr. Lin? This way, please!" Lin

Yupeng smiled slightly and followed him into the "Today's Star" film and television company. The two hostesses at the entrance were dressed to the nines, their bright smiles like sunshine, instantly warming the heart.

Entering this film and television company was like entering a concentration camp of beautiful women and handsome men. Actors of all kinds, coming and going, were all exceptionally beautiful; any one of them, with a little packaging, could become a national sensation.

However, packaging a star was no easy task. Within the entire "Today's Star" film and entertainment company, only a handful of actors and singers had achieved national fame; they had all become Lang Zikun's cash cows.

"Where is your CEO, Mr. Lang?" Lin Yupeng asked in a deep voice. This wasn't the Tianqiong Group headquarters, so he couldn't call him "Director Lang." Sometimes Lin Yupeng truly admired Lang Zikun's boundless energy; as the president's tutor at Tianqiong Group, he could also oversee two entertainment companies.

"Mr. Lang is in his office. Please follow me!" The security guard smiled slightly and led Lin Yupeng and Xiang Kui onto the elevator, taking them directly to the fifth floor and the general manager's office.

There, they saw Lang Zikun pacing back and forth, his eyes gleaming, a hint of anxiety and worry in his expression. Upon seeing Lin Yupeng, he immediately greeted him with a beaming smile, a somewhat obsequious one that made Lin Yupeng feel awkward.

"President Lin, welcome to inspect and guide 'Today's Star' Film and Entertainment Company. Please feel free to offer any suggestions; I will do my best to satisfy you!" Lang Zikun said respectfully, his tone several decimal places lower than usual, frequently using honorifics. In reality, his position within the Tianqiong Group was no lower than Lin Yupeng's; he was the director of the president's office and Zhang Yueran's right-hand man. "Hehe

, don't be so polite! I'm just here for a casual look; it's not an inspection, and I don't have any guidance to offer!" Lin Yupeng said modestly, but inwardly he thought, "What guidance could I possibly offer? I haven't seen anything here all day!"

Lang Zikun, naturally sensing Lin Yupeng's thoughts, quickly smiled and said, "President Lin, we have several films in production right now. Let me take you to inspect them!" A sharp

glint flashed in Lin Yupeng's eyes. He waved his hand and said coldly, "Not yet! I have something I want to discuss with you!" With that, he gestured for Xiang Kui to stand guard outside the door, forbidding anyone from entering the office without his permission.

Xiang Kui immediately turned and left, closing the door behind him, while Lang Zikun stood guard outside like a gatekeeper.

Lang Zikun's expression changed, his smile becoming somewhat forced. He plopped down in the executive chair and pointed to the sofa beside him, saying, "President Lin, please sit down!"

Lin Yupeng leaned down, his eyes flashing with a cold, rainbow-like light as he stared intently at Lang Zikun. He sneered, "Director Lang, no, I should call you President Lang here. You should have a pretty good idea of what I'm about to say, right?"

Lang

Zikun

's facial muscles twitched slightly, and he nodded, saying, "I know!"

Lin Yupeng's tone lowered, but the intimidating power within it intensified. He stared at Lang Zikun and coldly rebuked, "President Lang, I truly admire your audacity, going behind Chairman Jin and Zhang's back..." "You dare to make porn? Aren't you afraid of being punished? As far as I know, if anyone in the Sky Dome Group dares to disobey Chairman Jin and President Zhang's will, at best they'll be sent abroad as illegal laborers, and the women will become prostitutes; at worst they'll disappear forever. Tell me, is your crime exile or disappearance?"

Cold sweat was already seeping from Lang Zikun's face. He knew that Chairman Jin and President Zhang had repeatedly warned him not to make porn, especially Chairman Jin, who, for some reason, was extremely averse to porn. If this got back to him, he would definitely lose his life!

After Lin Yupeng finished speaking, he stopped talking, his eyes flashing as he looked at Lang Zikun, a smug sneer on his lips.

After a long pause, Lang Zikun let out a long sigh, pulled a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the cold sweat from his brow, and grinned at Lin Yupeng. The grin was more like a grimace; he practically gritted his teeth as he said, "Mr. Lin, name your price. How much will it take to keep you quiet?"

Lin Yupeng laughed heartily, a laugh that sent a shiver down Lang Zikun's spine. His smiling eyes widened in astonishment as he stared at Lin Yupeng, completely unable to fathom his true intentions.

"Let's not talk about money now. I have a few questions for you!" Lin Yupeng feigned indifference, chuckling dryly as he asked.

"Go ahead! I'll answer truthfully!" Lang Zikun's weakness was now firmly in Lin Yupeng's grasp, leaving him at his mercy. Many people knew that Lang Zikun was secretly making pornographic films, but none had concrete evidence. Even if they reported him to Chairman Jin and Zhang Yueran, it wouldn't have much effect.

However, the AV material that Lin Yupeng possessed was like a bombshell. It contained complete footage of Lang Zikun personally "training" him. He usually deleted all his AV footage, but Lin Yupeng's video was completely intact. More importantly, the actress in that AV, Zhao Yanmei, was currently serving Chairman Jin. If Chairman Jin saw that AV video and learned that Zhao Yanmei, who was always by his side, was actually the AV actress he hated most, he would definitely be furious, and Lang Zikun's life would be in danger.

Therefore, Lin Yupeng now truly held Lang Zikun's life in his hands, and he had no choice but to obey.

"I've never understood why, since they're both film companies under the Tianqiong Group, they're split in two. Different divisions of labor don't seem like a valid reason!" Lin Yupeng said in a deep voice.

Lang Zikun smiled helplessly and said, "It's complicated. On the surface, these two companies belong to the Tianqiong Group, but according to the business registration information, they are independent entities, not controlled by either company, and completely independent of their own profits and losses! These two companies have only been in the city for less than two years. 'Today's Star' is controlled by Chairman Jin, who owns 60% of the shares, I own a small percentage, and Xu Weiguo also owns 10%. 'Tomorrow's Light' is controlled by President Zhang, who owns 55% of the shares, Tong Yu owns 25%, and I own 20%. To put it bluntly, these two companies are the result of a power struggle between Chairman Jin and President Zhang." "A thing!"

Lin Yupeng's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, and he became interested, asking with a smile, "You mean Chairman Jin and President Zhang have a power conflict?"

Lang Zikun said in a deep voice, "Yes! Chairman Jin and President Zhang were close partners and brothers-in-arms during the startup phase and a considerable period of maintaining the business. However, in the last two years, their relationship has undergone some subtle changes. I'm not entirely clear on the deeper reasons, but in short, a rift has formed between them, and a covert power struggle has begun. As the Tianqiong Group's business grows larger, everyone wants to completely control the situation, secretly cultivating their own cronies. A power war is constantly raging."

"Oh? So, who do you think has the upper hand now?" Lin Yupeng asked with great interest.

"Of course, it's President Zhang! You should be able to see that Chairman Jin no longer shows his face, essentially retreating behind the scenes. Zhang Yueran has almost completely taken over the power of the Tianqiong Group," Lang Zikun said.

"Then why doesn't he just kick Chairman Jin out? Why keep this puppet in name only?" Lin Yupeng asked with concern. He muttered to himself, "No wonder Chairman Jin hasn't shown up. It turns out he was squeezed out by President Zhang."

Lang Zikun sneered, "The great empire that Chairman Jin built, Tianqiong Group, isn't so easily discarded. His old clients who do large business with Tianqiong Group are all his good friends. Without Chairman Jin's approval, Tianqiong Group can't do business. Zhang Yueran has to keep Chairman Jin; he doesn't dare touch him. If he kicks him out, the entire Tianqiong Group will collapse!"

"Oh, I see!" Lin Yupeng suddenly realized. He was now caught in the power struggle within Tianqiong Group. Zhang Yueran wanted to win him over and use him, and Chairman Jin thought the same thing, which explained Xiaoru's self-sacrifice yesterday afternoon.

Lang Zikun added, "In addition, there are many of Chairman Jin's people in the Sky Dome Group, such as Vice President Xu Weiguo, Quality Inspection Director Xing Zhijian, and Security Director Xiao Feilong."

"Oh? Security Director Xiao Feilong, I've never seen him before?" Lin Yupeng asked in a deep voice.

"He was summoned by Chairman Jin last month to carry out an important mission, and he hasn't returned yet!" Lang Zikun replied.

A moment of silence filled the room. Lin Yupeng's eyes darted around, and he sneered, "So, several high-ranking leaders of the Sky Dome Group have shares in these two companies?"

Lang Zikun, puzzled by Lin Yupeng's words, nodded blankly, "Yes, yes!"

A sharp glint flashed in Lin Yupeng's eyes, his pupils contracted sharply like needles, finally focusing on Lang Zikun's round face, which was beaded with cold sweat. He said, word by word, "You're wrong! I don't have any shares!"

Upon hearing this, Lang Zikun trembled as if struck by lightning, his face turning deathly pale, as if all the blood had been drained from his body. Cold sweat poured down his back, and fear filled his face. He sat there speechless for a long time.

Lin Yupeng slowly stood up, his eyes gleaming. Ignoring the stunned Lang Zikun, he turned and walked to the window, gazing out with his hands behind his back.

The window faced the back of "Today's Star" company, a large paper mill with sewage pipes leading directly to the sea, constantly releasing wastewater into the ocean.

(Chapter 235: A Grand Blueprint

)

Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed again as he stared at the paper mill for a few moments. Then he turned to Lang Zikun, who sat bewildered in his boss's chair, chuckled, and placed a hand on his shoulder, smiling, "Mr. Lang, don't you own 30% of the company? I only want 10% in exchange for your life. Isn't that a lot?" Lang Zikun

bit his lip until it bled, his face contorted with grief, "Mr. Lin, 10% is too much! I nominally hold 30% of the shares, but Tong Yu has already secretly taken 5%. If you take another 10%, I... I simply can't afford it!"

"Oh? Tong Yu has gotten involved here too? Doesn't he have shares in 'Tomorrow's Light'?" Lin Yupeng asked coldly.

"Because he found out about my secret pornography, I gave him 5% of the shares to keep him quiet. It was all done behind closed doors. On the surface, my shares were still the same, but at the end of the month when the dividends were distributed, I secretly took 5% of the profits and transferred it to Tong Yu's secret account," Lang Zikun said with a bitter face.

"Hehe, then secretly give me another 10% of the shares. The materials Tong Yu has aren't as important as mine! Besides, let me tell you, I won't take these 10% shares for nothing! Come and see..."

After saying this, Lin Yupeng pulled Lang Zikun to the window and pointed to the paper mill below, saying, "Look at this paper mill behind our company, isn't it quite large? It's about 30,000 square meters, right? I plan to plan carefully and push the entire Tianqiong Group to buy this paper mill's land, demolish the factory buildings, and build a film and television city on the spot, combining it with 'Today's Star.' Your annual income will definitely..." "This will take us to a new level, and if our actors want to film legitimate movies, we won't need to rent locations from other film studios, saving us a lot of costs. I think the reason you're secretly making adult films is probably because they're low-cost and high-profit; you can film them as long as you have a place, right? But once we build a film studio, you'll have the space to film high-quality commercial films. I think if we promote them well, the profits will definitely be much higher than adult films. Filming adult films is illegal in our country; don't you want to get back on track?"

Lin Yupeng's words moved Lang Zikun. He nodded repeatedly, a look of anticipation appearing on his fair, round face, but then worry suddenly appeared. Lang Zikun said sullenly, "President Lin, your plan is certainly excellent, but acquiring a paper mill and then investing in building a film studio will cost at least 100 million! Our group is currently facing a cash crunch, so it's probably not feasible in the short term."

Lin Yupeng laughed and said, "That's only temporary. Once our group's series of investments yield returns in a short time, the money will flow in continuously. Investing in a small film studio shouldn't be a problem!"

Upon hearing this, Lang Zikun gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and said, "Alright then! I can give you 10% of the shares. You also need to provide me with a secret account number, and I'll transfer the money to you at the end of the month!" A

cold glint flashed in Lin Yupeng's eyes. Upon hearing this, Shan waved his hand and said, "No need! Bank transfers aren't safe. The documents are all with the bank,

and they're easily checked. Just give me cash at the beginning of each month. Oh dear, isn't today the beginning of the month?" Lang Zikun felt a pain worse than if someone had ripped his own flesh out, but he was helpless. Compared to money, life was of course more important. Besides, he was also excited by Lin Yupeng's grand plan. So he grinned at Lin Yupeng and said, "Okay, I'll give you your dividend now! Take a look at this month's accounts first."

As he spoke, Lang Zikun took out a small ledger from the drawer and handed it to Lin Yupeng.

Lin Yupeng picked it up and looked at it carefully. He found that 70% of the accounts were profits from exporting commercial film DVDs overseas, and the rest were income from publishing records, organizing commercial performances, and holding concerts domestically. The total profit was 2 million.

"Hehe, exporting those commercial films, you mean AVs?" Lin Yupeng asked with a dry laugh.

Lang Zikun nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Lin, you've noticed too, haven't you? The whole company is just keeping going by filming that movie!"

With that, he stood up, took out his key, opened the office safe, took out two bundles of money, put them in a paper bag, walked over to Lin Yupeng, handed it to him, and smiled, "This is your bonus, 200,000 yuan. Please accept it!"

Lin Yupeng took the bag of money, didn't count it, and put it in his briefcase, nodding with satisfaction. He thought to himself, "I've just gotten 200,000 yuan right away. I'll have a monthly bonus from now on. I'm one step closer to my goal!"

But he also felt that even with the money he received each month, it would take several more months to save enough to buy a memory chip. He couldn't wait that long. He needed to work harder to accumulate wealth; Lang Zikun's film company alone was far from enough.

"Take me on a tour? Didn't you say you were rushing to finish filming today?" Lin Yupeng turned to Lang Zikun and smiled after taking the money.

Lang Zikun's face broke into a fawning smile again. "Alright! Mr. Lin, please follow me!"

So Lin Yupeng and Lang Zikun walked out of the office, with Xiang Kui following behind. The three of them took the elevator directly to the top floor—the tenth floor.

At the door of the innermost room stood three security guards, their expressions stern, weapons concealed. Lang Zikun approached them and asked in a deep voice, "How's the filming going inside?"

One of the guards, who appeared to be the leader, respectfully replied, "The first scene is finished, and we're filming the second scene now!"

Lang Zikun nodded and pointed to Lin Yupeng beside him, saying, "Let me introduce you. This is the vice president of Tianqiong Group, here to inspect our work!"

The three guards immediately bowed to Lin Yupeng, saying, "Hello, Mr. Lin!" One of the guards even opened the door.

Lin Yupeng smiled slightly at them, told Xiang Kui to stay outside, and walked into the room side by side with Lang Zikun.

The production site consisted of three rooms on the left, center, and right—one large and two small. The large room was the studio, the official filming location. One of the smaller rooms was the actors' dressing room, and the other was a rest room.

It was currently a break between scenes. This film was a three-in-one production, meaning it was divided into three scenes, each with one actor and lasting a few minutes.

Lang Zikun had previously traveled to Europe, America, and Japan to learn from film studios, and even apprenticed under a famous Japanese adult film actor, Takemoto Hidekatsu, whose name, when pronounced, sounded like "I am inherently beastly." His name was quite fitting; this guy loved making hardcore, uncensored films, and he had a knack for training women. Lang Zikun learned a lot from him.

Lang Zikun led Lin Yupeng to the dressing room, where two female makeup artists were applying makeup to an actress. To avoid disturbing their work, Lang Zikun didn't speak, but simply watched.
