The Divine Doctor Captures a Beauty [Complete] - 33

Chapter 718 Passionate Sparks

Qiao

Fenny was wearing a thin white silk blouse and a pink pencil skirt. Through the semi-transparent blouse, one could vaguely see the bra straps underneath, and the bulges outside the blouse hinted at large breasts. Beneath the pencil skirt was a breathtakingly slender figure, her snow-white, rounded legs tightly encased in sexy white stockings, gleaming with a vibrant sheen that was sure to excite.

Qiao Fenny's bright, alluring blue eyes, tinged with the allure of a drug, playfully winked at Lin Yupeng. She gracefully moved closer to him, walking slowly, as if deliberately showing off her beautiful figure. Her two rounded, sexy, and supple legs gleamed alluringly under the soft light of the room.

"Sister Fanny, you're getting more and more beautiful!" Lin Yupeng chuckled dryly, looking Qiao Fanny up and down.

"Hehe, Mr. Lin, you're joking. I'm getting old and my looks have faded. I'm not as charming as young girls anymore!" Qiao Fanny smiled sweetly.

Lin Yupeng smiled wickedly and continued, "That's not necessarily true. Sister Fanny, you're not even thirty yet! Mature women like you are even more attractive!" He was just teasing her, not asking what Qiao Fanny wanted to see him about, waiting for her to speak first so he could take the initiative.

Qiao Fenny smiled faintly, leaning down to sit on the sofa next to Lin Yupeng. A fleeting, resentful, and fearful glint flashed in her beautiful, lake-like eyes, but Lin Yupeng's sharp eyes caught it. He thought to himself, "It seems she really is in trouble, and it's quite serious! She just took over as the group's HR director; has she already run into trouble?"

But Lin Yupeng remained calm, sitting there motionless, his eyes fixed on Qiao Fenny, saying nothing, waiting for her to continue.

Qiao Fenny didn't speak either, her beautiful lips radiating a seductive allure. She sat very close to Lin Yupeng, and suddenly her lotus-root-like arms wrapped around his neck like snakes. Her slightly parted lips released a fragrance as sweet as orchids and musk, arousing the desire in Lin Yupeng's heart.

Lin Yupeng knew she was about to use the same trick again, first luring him into bed for a passionate encounter, and then talking business. She was a woman who knew how to use her body.

Qiao Fenny's eyes were alluring, and her body clung to him like an old plaster. She spread her legs wide and sat directly on Lin Yupeng's lap, her full, plump buttocks rubbing against his sensitive areas. This was one of her best techniques for arousing men; a few rubs would ignite passionate sparks.

Lin Yupeng felt his lust rising, his eyes blazing with intense desire. His hands began to move erratically over her body, thinking to himself, "A woman who's offered herself up like this, might as well take advantage of her. After all, you asked me for something."

Qiao Fenny's beautiful, bluish-white breasts were filled with seductive allure as she whispered provocatively in Lin Yupeng's ear, "Brother Lin, our company just moved here, you must be very busy, right? Look at you, you're all hot and bothered, do you want me to help you cool off?" As she spoke, her movements became even more intense.

Lin Yupeng, aroused by this stunning woman, was burning with desire and his heart was pounding. He couldn't help but increase the intensity of his caresses, letting out heavy breaths. He was determined to take the initiative.

He grabbed Qiao Fenny's shoulders and shook her forcefully a few times, then ripped off her white blouse, revealing a semi-transparent white bra, which he then tore off and began to fondle.

Qiao Fenny's tight skirt rode up under the force, revealing her long, slender, white thighs. This woman never wore underwear, and her alluring figure was on full display, further arousing Lin Yupeng. His eyes were bloodshot as he swept Qiao Fenny up in his arms and strode towards the bed in the bedroom.

In an instant, their naked bodies were intertwined on the bed. Qiao Fenny's passionate and provocative moans rose softly, each one higher and more joyful than the last, her body writhing in response to his advances.

Her long eyelashes trembled with desire, her fair face flushed slightly, and her wanton expression ignited Lin Yupeng's lust, causing him to thrust repeatedly into the beauty beneath him...

Passionate lovemaking continued until midnight, when Qiao Fenny finally succumbed. After a few desperate screams, she reached the peak of pleasure, her body collapsing limply.

After this extreme physical indulgence, Qiao Fenny, enduring her fatigue and drowsiness, confided in Lin Yupeng. When she recounted the troubles she had encountered, Lin Yupeng gasped, sat up abruptly in bed, dressed, and paced around the bedroom, his eyes flashing with a sharp, cold light.

Qiao Fenny sat up in bed, naked, her snow-white body still bearing the marks of their lovemaking. Her beautiful eyes were misty with tears, as if she were about to cry. Her pretty face was filled with sorrow and fear. She said softly, "Brother Lin, for the sake of the many times I've shared pleasure with you, you must save me! If Chairman Jin finds out about this, I'll be skinned alive, or worse, sold to the southeast as a prostitute!" With that, tears finally streamed down her face, making her look pitiful and endearing.

Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed with a piercing, needle-like light as he stared intently at Qiao Fenny. He asked in a deep voice, "Sister Fenny, are you sure the ledger is really lost? Have you looked for it carefully again?"

Qiao Fenny replied dimly, "I've looked more than ten times. It's definitely lost! Brother Lin, think about it, how could I not remember where I put such an important ledger?" I remember it clearly; that ledger was always locked in my desk drawer, but I couldn't find it yesterday. The drawer clearly showed signs of being pried open; it must have been stolen!

The ledger that Qiao Fenny mentioned is indeed very important. It's the transaction record of the Sky Dome Group's trafficking of prostitutes to Southeast Asia over the past five years. The transaction amount, number of people, and cooperating units are all listed in detail. Most of those prostitutes went to Southeast Asia voluntarily to make money, but of course, some were female employees of the group who made mistakes and were sent there.

Lin Yupeng had already realized the seriousness of the situation. Once the ledger fell into the hands of the police, the Sky Dome Group would be charged with organizing prostitution. He couldn't help but feel annoyed, thinking to himself, "Jin Tai! You're just my godfather who raised me. I respect you, but what you've done is truly despicable! There are plenty of safe businesses out there, why do you have to take such a risky gamble?" His anger

blazed in his eyes as he stared intently at Qiao Fenny, asking each word clearly, "Sister Fenny, why are you keeping a ledger?" Qiao Fenny sighed softly, looking aggrieved, "Brother Lin, because there are too many transactions, it's inconvenient to manage without keeping records!" Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he stared intently at Qiao Fenny, coldly asking again, "Has our group been doing this kind of business recently?" Qiao Fenny's expression was serious as she truthfully replied, "Since the attack in Bangkok last time..." "This kind of business was stopped by Chairman Jin! We haven't done a single transaction like this recently!" Lin Yupeng nodded solemnly and asked seriously, "Sister Fanny, who do you suspect is behind this?" Qiao Fanny pondered for a moment before answering softly, "I suspect it's He Wenwen. She just resigned yesterday. I punished her before for violating company rules, and I suspect she's holding a grudge and is taking revenge on me!" Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed again, and he continued, "Has He Wenwen ever participated in the company's business before?" Qiao Fanny said confidently, "Yes, she did. She was punished because I discovered her taking kickbacks behind her back." Lin Yupeng nodded and pondered, "So, if it really was He Wenwen, then her purpose is to vent her personal anger. She might not hand over the ledgers to the police because that would implicate her as well. But that's not absolute. As long as the ledgers are outside, our company is in danger!"

Tears welled up in Qiao Fenny's eyes again. She was helpless and could only turn to Lin Yupeng for help. She had to use her womanly strengths, throwing herself into Lin Yupeng's arms, crying out, "Brother Lin, you must save your sister! As long as Chairman Jin doesn't find out, I'll agree to any condition you ask!"

Lin Yupeng's face darkened, and he pushed Qiao Fenny away, saying seriously, "Sister Fenny, I can help you. We must get the account books back. Where did He Wenwen go after she resigned? The key is to find her as soon as possible!"

Qiao Fenny immediately nodded, "I know, I'm sending people to search everywhere!

I hope she hasn't left Yanjing yet. If she ran away to..." "Going anywhere else would be like finding a needle in a haystack!"

Lin Yupeng said coldly. "That's all we can do for now. You don't have enough manpower, so I'll send a few more people over. Don't worry, they're all my men, and they'll help you find He Wenwen."

Qiao Fenny said gratefully, "Thank you so much, Brother Lin. If you can help me with this, I'll never forget your kindness!"

Lin Yupeng chuckled but didn't reply. He thought to himself, "Qiao Fenny, I'm doing this for the company. As long as this ledger isn't found, the threat to the company can't be eliminated!"

With that thought, he took out his walkie-talkie and contacted Leng Rui, telling him to take ten security guards to find Qiao Fenny tomorrow. Everything was arranged according to her plan, with the goal of finding a person named "He Wenwen"!

Leng Rui was born with double pupils, his eyes sharp as needles, finding people was his forte, and his subordinates were all highly capable. If used properly, there was still a chance to find He Wenwen.

After everything was arranged, Qiao Fenny originally wanted to spend some more time with Lin Yupeng, but Lin Yupeng was no longer in the mood. He sent her away and lay on the bed thinking about the account book, considering how to deal with it if things were exposed.

The next morning, Lin Yupeng got up, ate breakfast, and started his new day's work. Leng Rui had already brought his men to find Qiao Fenny and obtained He Wenwen's photo. They started searching everywhere, not aimlessly, but professionally, like police searching for criminal suspects, based on the information Qiao Fenny provided about He Wenwen. They checked places He Wenwen might have visited. After a whole day without any news, Lin Yupeng knew this was normal. Beijing was so big; finding someone wasn't easy, sometimes it really took a bit of inspiration and luck.

Before he even got off work, Fan Qixuan called: "Brother Lin, are you free tonight?" Lin Yupeng laughed: "Yes, I'm free! Shall we go to Shuiyuntian again?"

Fan Qixuan said: "Hehe, going to the same place all the time is boring. Besides, there's no Hua Meiyu concert tonight. Let's go bowling! I've already picked out a place!"

Lin Yupeng smiled: "Bowling? I don't know how to play!"

Fan Qixuan laughed heartily, "It's very simple, Brother Lin, I can teach you. This sport is highly entertaining, fun, competitive, and skillful. It can also improve your physical fitness and willpower. I hope you like it!"

Lin Yupeng said, "Okay, I'll definitely go. Which bowling alley should we go to?

" Fan Qixuan said, "I'll come to the company to find you! I'll hang up now, I'm leaving!" After saying that, he hung up the phone. Lin Yupeng thought to himself, "This young master Fan is really too much fun!" This wasn't bad, though; he'd learned a lot of valuable information from him. Just as he

was pondering this, he heard the voice of Deng Yuhu, the head of the security department, come through the walkie-talkie: "President Lin, are you there?"

Lin Yupeng hurriedly picked up the walkie-talkie from the table and said in a deep voice, "I'm here! What's up?" He was secretly surprised, thinking, "Fan Qixuan is here so quickly?"

Then he heard Deng Yuhu say loudly, "I have a wedding invitation delivered here, saying it's from the Gao mansion. Do you think we should accept the invitation?"

This really surprised Lin Yupeng; he secretly... He thought to himself, "The Gao Mansion? I don't know any people with the surname Gao in Yanjing City. Wedding invitations? Who's getting married? Could they have sent the wrong ones?" He then asked coldly, "Minister Deng, have you checked? Are they sure they haven't made a mistake?"

Deng Yuhu said with absolute certainty, "I've asked many times, and they say there's no mistake. They're for our Tianqiong Group. There are three in total! One for Chairman Jin, one for General Manager Xu, and one for you.

" Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said seriously, "Bring me the invitations. Send the people from the Gao Mansion away first!" "
Deng Yuhu responded and soon returned to Lin Yupeng's vice president's office, placing three large red invitation cards with gold lettering on the table. Lin Yupeng waved him off, and Deng Yuhu turned and left.

Lin Yupeng picked up one of the invitation cards; the text was printed in Song typeface, and the name was in small gold-embossed characters. He examined it carefully; it was a standard wedding invitation format: Invited Person—Lin Yupeng (To: Lin Yupeng): Invited to a wedding on December 16th, 2023 (Sunday) at 10:00 AM..." The invitation read: "We are holding a wedding banquet for Mr. Gao Ya and Ms. Cheng Jing. Your presence is cordially requested. The bride and groom wish you all the best..." Below this were the groom's father's name—Gao Yi—and the banquet location: No. 1 Huashan Road, Nancheng District, Yanjing City, Gao Mansion. Chapter 720: The Wedding King

. When Lin Yupeng saw the names of the groom Gao Ya and his father Gao Yi, his heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself, "Isn't Gao Yi the Vice Premier and Minister of the Interior that Fan Qixuan mentioned? Gao Ya is his son, known as one of the 'Three Young Masters of Beijing'! But I have no dealings with the Gao family. Why are these invitations here? Could it be that my godfathers Jin Tai and Xu Weiguo have connections with the Gao family?" He turned to look at the invitation for Jin Tai and Xu Weiguo; the content was roughly the same as his own, only the names had changed. Just as he was pondering this, he heard Deng Yuhu's voice from the walkie-talkie on the table: "President Lin, Young Master Fan has arrived!" " Lin Yupeng picked up the walkie-talkie and said seriously, "Have him come to my office! From now on, Young Master Fan doesn't need to inform me beforehand; he can come to see me anytime!" "Okay!" Deng Yuhu responded. A short while later, the office door opened, and Fan Qixuan stepped in, immediately noticing the three wedding invitations on the table—they were so conspicuous. "Brother Lin, you also received Gao Ya's wedding invitation?" Fan Qixuan asked knowingly, his eyes fixed on the invitations. "Yes! Judging from your tone, you also received one?" Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed, and he asked in a deep voice. "That's right! Many senior executives of companies and groups with fixed assets exceeding ten million in Yanjing City received Gao Ya's wedding invitations in the past two days!" "Fan Qixuan's handsome face flushed with anger, and he said resentfully. Lin Yupeng could tell that he seemed to have a strong prejudice against Gao Ya, and he recalled that last night at Shuiyuntian, when Gao Ya, one of the "Three Young Masters of Beijing," was mentioned, Fan Qixuan only gave a brief introduction, seemingly unwilling to even mention his name. Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed, and he asked with a sharp look, "Qixuan, it seems you're not very willing to attend Gao Ya's wedding ceremony." Fan Qixuan's fair face turned red with anger, and he gritted his teeth, saying resentfully, "Who wants to go! Brother Lin, you don't know the inside story. Gao Ya is just a playboy who relies on his father's power to do whatever he wants. He gets married more than ten times a year! Every time he gets married..." "He sent out invitations to all the leaders of major companies in Yanjing City. Who would dare not attend the wedding of the son of the Vice Premier? And wouldn't everyone who went have to give a gift? Gao Ya is just using marriage to make money! Besides, everyone else's marriage has legal procedures; they can just get married and divorced, then remarry, but the bride is always different. This guy is a womanizer; he plays with women until he's done with them, then discards them and finds someone new. He's publicly married more than ten women; as for the women he's secretly played with, the number is countless!" Lin Yupeng, upon hearing this, looked shocked and resentful, and asked coldly, "Gao Ya gets married more than ten times a year? That's an average of once a month? It must be the result of his father Gao Yi's secret indulgence!"

Fan Qixuan's indignation deepened, and he sneered, "Is there any need to say more? Gao Yi turns a blind eye to his son's behavior; it's all for their family's profit! It's said that no woman Gao Ya sets his sights on can escape his grasp. He gets his hands on her and then kicks her away. Of the so-called 'Three Young Masters of the Capital,' he's the most arrogant! Now, many people in Yanjing like to add 'Nei' after Gao Ya's name, comparing him to 'Gao Yanei' from 'Water Margin.' That's quite a coincidence! Gao Yanei bullied men and women, committing all sorts of evil deeds, but this Gao Ya is even worse! Gao Yanei lived in ancient times, when polygamy was still practiced; at least he was the one who was forced to have a wife." "Whether a woman is a wife or a concubine, at least she has a title! But this is modern times. A woman dumped by Gao Ya has no title, no status, and won't get a penny of his property. Her life is ruined by him!"

Lin Yupeng's eyes blazed with anger as he coldly retorted, "That's fucking despicable! I never thought there were people like this in Yanjing!"

Fan Qixuan sneered, "All crows are black! The crows here are the blackest! Alright, Brother Lin, let's not talk about this anymore. It's time for you to get off work, right? Let's go eat first, then go bowling!"

Lin Yupeng suppressed the anger ignited by the unscrupulous young master Gao Ya and smiled, "Okay, let's go now, but dinner tonight is on me!"

"Hehe, Brother Lin, you're too kind. We're brothers, aren't we?" Fan Qixuan said heartily.

The two left the Sky Dome Building together and went to the Jing Shun Hotel. On the way, Lin Yupeng's mind was still flashing back to what Fan Qixuan had just said about Gao Ya's various misdeeds. Naturally, he thought of the plot in "Water Margin," where Gao Yanei was eventually killed by Lu Zhishen, who cut off his "little manhood," making him a eunuch. He couldn't help but sneer inwardly, "Gao Ya, what a good name! You've committed many evils, I hope your fate is like that of the Water Margin characters." Just like Gao Yanei in the novel! Even worse than him! Sigh, that's Xiao Jinhe. In reality, who has the courage of Lu Zhishen? He chuckled helplessly to himself, "The people here are getting more and more interesting. A couple of days ago I met a professional mistress, and today a wedding king!"

Lin Yupeng and Fan Qixuan arrived at the Jingshun Hotel, ordered a table full of dishes, and after finishing their meal, Lin Yupeng insisted on paying for it. The two left the hotel and headed straight to a bowling alley called Tianxiang that Fan Qixuan had arranged in advance.

As soon as Fan Qixuan entered the bowling alley lobby, his phone rang. He quickly answered, his voice low and menacing, "Qianqian? Is something wrong?" "I'm at Tianxiang Bowling Alley!" "Sigh, it's not that I don't want to play with you, it's just that you're so clumsy and reckless. Last time you broke someone's guard plate, and I had to pay over a thousand yuan for you!" "I'm not stingy... Okay, stop bothering me, come over! Don't cause me any trouble this time!" With that, he abruptly hung up the phone and turned to Lin Yupeng with a helpless expression, "Sigh, Brother Lin, there's nothing I can do. My little devil insists on coming. You'd better be careful; she's still holding a grudge about the time you dirtied her clothes!"

Lin Yupeng chuckled and said, "Then I'll apologize to her today!" But inwardly he felt wronged: "The main responsibility isn't mine at all!"

Fan Qixuan laughed heartily, "Hehe, Brother Lin, reasoning with her won't work!"

Fan Qianqian wouldn't arrive for a while, so Fan Qixuan and Lin Yupeng started playing bowling. Lin Yupeng was incredibly quick to learn, and with just a little guidance from Fan Qixuan, he quickly grasped the basics of bowling, even managing two consecutive strikes.

Fan

Qixuan

's eyes widened in surprise. "Brother Lin, are you kidding me? You've bowled before, haven't you?"

Lin Yupeng chuckled and said, "This is my first time!" He then picked up the heaviest bowling ball, a 16-pound one, wiped it with a cloth, and threw a perfect curveball. "Smack!" Another strike.

Fan Qixuan exclaimed, "Brother Lin, if this is truly your first time, you've done a really good job!"

He still found it hard to believe that Lin Yupeng was a first-time bowler. "Good luck, haha! Qixuan, you're here too!" "Lin Yupeng chuckled dryly.

Fan Qixuan smiled slightly, picked up a bowling ball, and joined Lin Yupeng in playing. His bowling skills were quite good, and he was playing well today, hitting several "three-out-of-three" bowling balls in a row, which drew enthusiastic applause from the onlookers. In particular, several girls who came to the bowling alley, seeing Fan Qixuan's handsome and dashing appearance, all cast passionate glances at him. If they knew that this was Fan Qixuan, one of the "Three Young Masters of Beijing," they might even have taken the initiative to throw themselves into his arms!

After playing for about twenty minutes, Lin Yupeng suddenly heard a clear and loud female voice say, "Oh, you didn't wait for me and started playing by yourselves! That's really not nice!" "

Then Fan Qixuan's younger sister, Fan Qianqian, gracefully appeared before us. She wore a blue, tight-fitting tracksuit that perfectly showcased her fit, voluptuous, and curvaceous figure.

Her full breasts were particularly eye-catching, standing erect beneath the thin fabric, trembling slightly with her breath, the shape of her bra faintly visible beneath. Her rounded buttocks curved upwards in a beautiful arc, exuding a fiery allure. Her long, black hair, like a waterfall, was styled in a unique bun, revealing her slender, ivory-white neck. A faint blush tinged her cheeks, and her bright, black eyes, like lacquer, blinked mischievously. Her delicate, small lips were moist and full of life. She wore white sneakers and white stockings, giving her a lively and energetic appearance.

"Miss Fan, hello!" Lin Yupeng smiled slightly at Fan Qianqian and greeted her. He had originally intended to call her "little sister," but remembering her dissatisfaction with that title during their first meeting, he opted for the more common "Miss Fan."

Upon seeing Lin Yupeng, Fan Qianqian's bright eyes widened instantly, flashing with resentment. She glared at him, pouted her rosy lips, and said coquettishly, "Lin Yupeng, what are you doing here?! What did you call me just now? Miss Fan? Don't call me that again!"

Lin Yupeng smiled awkwardly and asked helplessly, "Then what should I call you?" He muttered to himself, "This girl is really difficult!"

A faint blush rose on Fan Qianqian's pretty face, but her eyes glared at Lin Yupeng with displeasure, and she scolded, "How can you be so stupid! Who calls girls 'Miss' these days? Don't you know that word has been tainted?" "Just call me by my name from now on!" Fan

Qixuan's face darkened as he stared at his sister and said seriously, "Qianqian, I'm really impressed with you. You can even argue with someone over how you're addressed!"

Fan Qianqian raised her willow-leaf eyebrows, which were greener than spring mountains, pouted her red lips, and said coquettishly, "Argue? Humph! I haven't even settled the score with him for getting my clothes dirty last time!"

Lin Yupeng could only smile and apologize, "Miss Fan, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. If that dress can't be washed, I'll just buy you another one."

Fan Qianqian glared at him, her cheeks puffed out, and said irritably, "You said it! You have to take me to buy clothes this weekend! Unless we find one exactly like that dress, I won't forgive you!"

Lin Yupeng knew she was throwing a tantrum, so he could only laugh and say, "Okay, I might have to attend a wedding on Sunday, so how about Saturday?" He said "might" because he hadn't decided on the "Gao Yanei's" wedding yet and planned to discuss it with Jin Tai and Xu Weiguo in the next few days before making a decision.

"Okay, Saturday it is! Wait for my call then!" Fan Qianqian's beautiful eyes flashed with a mischievous smile, and the resentment from before gradually faded.

"Sigh!" Fan Qixuan looked at Lin Yupeng with pity when he saw that he had agreed to accompany his sister to buy clothes.

Fan Qianqian's ears were quite sharp. She turned to look at Fan Qixuan and said coquettishly, "Second Brother, why are you sighing?"

Fan Qixuan chuckled dryly, "It's nothing, let's play bowling!" He picked up a 13-pound bowling ball and threw it quickly.

Fan Qianqian, also intrigued, picked up an 8-pound bowling ball, wiped it with a burlap sack, and threw it. Her form wasn't very good, so she only knocked down 8 pins. She glanced at Fan Qixuan, who had just gotten a strike, drawing enthusiastic applause from the onlookers.

Fan Qianqian raised her eyes, stamped her foot angrily, and said coquettishly, "What's going on today! I want a strike too!"

Just then, Lin Yupeng next to her also got a strike. Fan Qianqian puffed out her beautiful cheeks, a defiant look in her eyes, grabbed an 8-pound ball, and threw it. This time her form was finally correct, and with a bit of luck, she got a strike, knocking down all 10 pins.

"Yay! I got a strike too! Watch me give you a triple strike!" Fan Qianqian clapped her hands and jumped up, her pretty face beaming with pride. Her bright, charming eyes glanced at Fan Qixuan and Lin Yupeng with a hint of provocation.

"Hehe, congratulations, Qianqian, you did a fantastic job!" Lin Yupeng praised her with a smile.

Fan Qixuan, however, looked disdainful and sneered at his sister, "What's so great about a strike? I bet you just guessed! Besides, look at what ball you're using! An 8-pound ball! That's for middle school students! Look at Brother Lin, he's using a 16-pound ball, exactly twice as heavy as you!"

Bowling has a simple ball selection standard: 6-7 pounds for elementary school students, 8-9 pounds for middle school students, 10-12 pounds for young women, 13-14 pounds for young men, and 15-16 pounds for intermediate and advanced players. Because Lin Yupeng was strong and healthy, he never felt satisfied with smaller balls, so he always chose the largest one, the 16-pound one.

Fan Qianqian glanced at the large bowling ball in Lin Yupeng's hand, bit her lip, and said defiantly, "Fine! I'll throw a 16-pound one too, let's see who's better!" With that, she turned around and picked up a 16-pound bowling ball (1 pound = 0.907 jin), carrying it like a small watermelon. ( Chapter 722 Intimate

Contact ) Fan Qianqian picked up a rag and wiped it vigorously a few times, preparing to throw. She wasn't very strong to begin with, yet she insisted on showing off. Lin Yupeng saw her little hands trembling as she held the ball and worried she might get hurt. So he smiled and advised, "Qianqian, this ball isn't suitable for you. Why don't you get a lighter one? You might hurt your foot!" He meant well, but Fan Qianqian wouldn't listen. Her usual spoiled attitude resurfaced. She glared at Lin Yupeng, pouted her cherry lips, and said angrily, "Lin Yupeng? What do you mean by that? Are you hoping I'll break my foot so we can't go shopping for clothes on Saturday?" Lin Yupeng smiled helplessly and said, "Qianqian, you misunderstood. I was just worried you wouldn't be able to play well!" But in his heart, he thought, "This girl, she always tries to be right, even when she's wrong!" Fan Qianqian pouted and said coquettishly, "Hmph! Just you wait and see, this young lady is determined to play this kind of ball. What you men can do, women can do too!" Lin Yupeng chuckled inwardly, "She wouldn't let me call you 'young lady' just now, but now she's calling herself that!" These were his innermost thoughts, but he dared not voice them. Looking at Fan Qianqian beside him, he suddenly realized that even when she was angry, she was so beautiful and captivating. Her rosy cheeks were puffed out, her small, red lips were pouting, and her clear, bright eyes sparkled with playful light, making her even more charming and adorable. He couldn't help but feel a flutter in his heart. At this moment, Fan Qianqian had already begun throwing the heaviest 16-pound bowling ball. She lightly bit her lip, took a running start, and bent down to throw the ball. However, because the ball was too heavy, it caused her waist to sag, and she lost her balance, about to fall! Lin Yupeng happened to be beside her and quickly reached out to support her arm. Fan Qianqian let out a soft "Ah!" Whew, she lost her balance and fell into his arms. Lin Yupeng held her soft, warm body in his embrace. Her curvaceous, sexy figure exuded a delicate fragrance that filled his nostrils, making every cell in his body feel incredibly refreshed. Her well-developed, firm breasts pressed against his chest, rubbing against him as their bodies trembled, sending ripples of electric-like pleasure through him… The most intimate moment was when Fan Qianqian's body leaned forward, and her luscious lips inadvertently touched Lin Yupeng's neck, essentially kissing him. The soft, smooth sensation of her lips spread throughout his body, igniting a burning heat within him, and gradually igniting the fire of desire within him. "Ah...you're so annoying..." Fan Qianqian's delicate face flushed crimson in an instant. She pushed Lin Yupeng away forcefully, regained her balance, her face contorted with anger. Her eyebrows arched, her beautiful eyes widened as she glared at Lin Yupeng, and she snapped, "Lin Yupeng, you took advantage of me! You big pervert, you big bad guy!" With that, Fan Qianqian started her tantrum again, rushing to Lin Yupeng and pounding his broad chest with her fists, the blows echoing loudly. Lin Yupeng didn't feel much pain; it was like a tickle, a tingling sensation emanating from her fists. He chuckled, knowing that reasoning with her was useless, but still patiently explained, "Qianqian, I didn't mean to! I only came to help you because I saw you were about to fall. I was just trying to be helpful!" "Who asked you to help me? I couldn't possibly fall! You're just taking advantage of me, bullying me!" Fan Qianqian's pretty face flushed red as she continued to "scratch" Lin Yupeng angrily. Fan Qixuan, unable to bear it any longer, rushed over and pulled his sister away, coldly scolding, "Qianqian, stop it! You ungrateful girl, isn't Brother Lin just worried you'll fall?" Fan Qianqian's beautiful eyes widened, and she retorted stubbornly, "Second Brother, why do you always side with him? You're a traitor!" Fan Qixuan's face darkened, and he coldly retorted, "Stop it! Look, everyone around is watching you. Don't embarrass me in public, okay?" Fan Qianqian was startled. She glanced around and saw many people smiling and pointing at her, assuming Lin Yupeng was her boyfriend and that she was just being affectionate with him! "What are you looking at? You're so annoying!" Fan Qianqian said coquettishly, then glared at Lin Yupeng, saying irritably, "Lin Yupeng, I'll remember this for now, I'll settle the score with you later!" Lin Yupeng smiled helplessly and said, "Qianqian, don't be angry, I didn't mean it!" As a man, he should be more magnanimous, especially since he had indeed taken advantage of Fan Qianqian just now, the feeling of holding her soft, warm body in his arms hadn't faded yet. "Hmph!" Fan Qianqian rolled her eyes at Lin Yupeng, blushed, pouted, and went to play on another lane. "That girl is just like that, so unpredictable!" Fan Qixuan sighed helplessly and continued playing with Lin Yupeng. They played for another hour or so. Fan Qianqian didn't speak to Lin Yupeng at all, just randomly tossing the ball around. Occasionally, she would steal glances at Lin Yupeng, a faint blush rising on her delicate cheeks. If their eyes met, Fan Qianqian would immediately glare at him, then quickly turn her face away, clearly still angry. Lin Yupeng just chuckled dryly, ignoring her and continuing to play. They played until after nine o'clock in the evening, when the three of them left Tianxiang Bowling Alley and went home to rest. He returned to the Sky Dome Building and went to his office. He glanced at the three wedding invitations from Gao Ya on his desk. Because he had gone bowling that evening, he hadn't had a chance to discuss the matter with Jin Tai and Xu Weiguo. So he dialed Li Zhanbo's number and asked in a deep voice, "Uncle Li, is Chairman Jin asleep? I need to see him!" Li Zhanbo replied, "No, Mr. Lin, come over! It's the presidential suite, 5001. Chairman Jin wants to see you!" Lin Yupeng hung up the phone, picked up the three wedding invitations from his desk, and quickly left the office. He took the elevator directly to the presidential suite where Jin Tai was staying on the 50th floor.

The newly appointed president, Xu Weiguo, was also present. Chairman Jin Tai sat solemnly on a leather sofa, his sharp gaze fixed on a single line, deep in thought. When Lin Yupeng pushed open the door and walked in, Jin Tai's ears twitched. He said in a deep voice, "Yupeng, please sit down!" He then gestured to the sofa beside him.

Lin Yupeng leaned down and sat down. Seeing the wedding invitation in his hand, Jin Tai smiled slightly and said, "Yupeng, I knew you had to come to see me. It's about Gao Ya's wedding, right? I've already discussed it with President Xu, and we won't be going. You'll represent us. Because the Gao family has no dealings with our Tianqiong Group, and they might even become our main rivals in the future!"

Lin Yupeng nodded and asked in a

deep

voice, "You mean Gao Yi's political stance is different from ours?"

Jin Tai's expression was solemn as he replied seriously, "Because the candidate we support is not Gao Yi, you could say they are irreconcilable enemies!" "But since they've invited us, we might as well take this opportunity to find out their strengths and weaknesses. Knowing your enemy is half the battle!"

Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed with a sudden glint, and he smiled faintly, saying, "Okay, I understand! What about the amount of the gift?"

Jin Tai said seriously, "You decide! Don't give too much, and don't give too little, just something that's acceptable on the surface!"

Xu Weiguo added from the side, "Brother Lin, you need to act according to the situation. I know you have a strong memory. Make sure you remember all the important people attending Gao Ya's wedding. Many of them will be our competitors, and there are also some fence-sitters who are people to watch out for in the future!"

Lin Yupeng nodded, "Okay, I understand!" He chatted with Jin Tai and Xu Weiguo for a few more minutes, then returned to his presidential suite to rest.

The next morning, Lin Yupeng got up early and started his workday. It was Friday, the last workday of the week, but his weekend wasn't easy either. Saturday he had to go shopping with the little devil Fan Qianqian, and he didn't know what kind of trouble she would cause. Sunday he had to attend the wedding of Gao Ya, whom he loathed. Although he hadn't seen him yet, hearing about his evil deeds made Lin Yupeng furious. Wasn't it just because his father was the vice premier that he dared to act so recklessly? If someone like Gao Yi, who allowed his son to commit evil, were to become president in the future, it would definitely not be a blessing for the people!

Lin Yupeng had been working in his office all day. Just as he was about to leave work, the office phone rang. Lin Yupeng quickly answered it; it was Qiao Fenny calling. His eyes lit up, and he thought to himself, "Could it be that there's been some progress on the accounts?"

"Hello, Sister Fenny, is something wrong?" "Lin Yupeng asked coldly.

"President Lin, our department just received an anonymous letter with only six words on it—'Wenwen is at Shuiyuntian!'" Qiao Fenny said with a hint of surprise.

Lin Yupeng didn't show much surprise upon hearing this. His eyes flashed, and his mind raced. He asked in a deep voice, "Where is the messenger? Did you manage to stop him?"

Qiao Fenny replied quietly, "This letter was sent through normal mailing procedures. The messenger was just an ordinary postman, so he had no value. I let him go!"

Lin Yupeng's eyes darted around, and two sharp glints flashed in his eyes. He pondered, "I think the sender intentionally doesn't want us to know his true identity!"

Qiao Fenny asked softly, "So, should we believe what's written on it?"

Lin Yupeng said coldly, "It's better to believe it than not. Your men are still searching for her step by step. The situation at Shuiyuntian is more complicated. I'll find time to go and investigate myself! Send someone to deliver that letter to me!" "

Qiao Fenny responded and hung up the phone. A short while later, someone from the public relations department delivered the anonymous letter and then left the office.

Lin Yupeng sat in the sofa chair behind his desk, staring at the envelope of the anonymous letter. Only the recipient's address was listed—Public Relations Department, Tianqiong Group, No. 21 Zhongyuan Road, Dongcheng District, Yanjing City… Opening the letter, it indeed contained only six words, just as Qiao Fenny had said: Wenwen is at Shuiyuntian.

His mind started racing again, thinking to himself, 'Is this news true or false? Why write an anonymous letter? There are too many suspicious points!' Then he thought—the women under Qiao Fenny's control are basically the same as prostitutes; she herself is involved in prostitution. That He Wenwen is probably no good either, and may have gone to the Shuiyuntian nightclub. Regardless of who sent this letter, he needed to personally investigate Shuiyuntian.

He immediately picked up the phone and dialed Leng Rui's number, saying in a deep voice, 'Brother Leng, where are you?'" "

Leng Rui replied in a low voice, "I'm in a bar! Mr. Lin, what are your orders?"

Lin Yupeng said seriously, "Bring your men back immediately. Come with me to the 'Shuiyuntian' nightclub tonight. He Wenwen is likely there!"

Leng Rui responded and hung up the phone. Half an hour later, Leng Rui pushed open the door and walked in, bowed to Lin Yupeng, and asked in a cold voice, "Mr. Lin, how many people should we bring tonight?"

Lin Yupeng smiled and said, "Just you and Xiang Kui. We're not going to fight, so there's no need to bring so many people!"

After saying that, Lin Yupeng dialed Fan Qixuan's number and smiled and said, "Brother Qixuan, how about going to 'Shuiyuntian' tonight? Are you free?"

Fan Qixuan paused and said apologetically, "Brother Lin, I'm sorry, a friend of mine is having a birthday party tonight, and I have to attend the banquet!"

Lin Yupeng smiled and said, "Okay, another day! Goodbye!" He had originally wanted to invite Fan Qixuan to go with him so he could get some information from him, but since Fan Qixuan had a social engagement, Lin Yupeng had to go alone.

After work, he, Leng Rui, and Xiang Kui had dinner at the group's upscale staff restaurant. Then, the three left the Sky Dome Building and drove straight to the "Water Cloud Sky" nightclub.

In the car, Lin Yupeng glanced at Leng Rui beside him. He saw a cold glint in Leng Rui's eyes, like flashes of lightning in dark clouds, but his expression remained solemn and stern; no one could fathom his inner thoughts.

"Brother Leng, have you made any progress looking for her these past two days?" Lin Yupeng couldn't help but ask.

"I've visited several of He Wenwen's friends these past two days. She's a local. She came to Tianhan City with her boyfriend a few years ago, but they broke up for some reason. This time, the group moved to Tianhan City, and she came along too. I didn't expect her to resign after only two days!" Leng Rui replied in a deep voice.

"Bring me He Wenwen's photo!" Lin Yupeng said in a low voice.

Leng Rui didn't dare to delay and took out a photo from his pocket, handing it to Lin Yupeng.

Lin Yupeng took the photo and looked at it. It was just a regular one-inch photo. The girl in the photo was quite pretty, with big eyes, double eyelids, and two cute dimples when she smiled.

He stared at the photo for a long time without saying a word, but the image of He Shishi was deeply imprinted in his mind. Not long after, the car arrived at the entrance of the "Shuiyuntian" nightclub. The three of them got out of the car and stepped into the entrance

of Shuiyuntian. Immediately, a male waiter quickly came up. It was the same male waiter who had served him and Fan Qixuan the day before yesterday. This time, upon seeing Lin Yupeng, he immediately recognized him and greeted him with a smile and respectfully, "Mr. Lin, hello! Welcome!" Lin Yupeng smiled slightly at the enthusiastic male waiter , then turned to glance at Xiang Kui beside him and said in a deep voice, "Brother Xiang, give him three thousand yuan!" Xiang Kui nodded, carrying a briefcase containing 500,000 yuan, Jin Tai's allowance for Lin Yupeng, which might all be spent on "Shuiyuntian". After buying three tickets, Lin Yupeng turned to the waiter and asked, "Is there a solo concert by Ms. Hua Meiyu today?"

The waiter said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, not today! Tomorrow and the day after are the weekend, and there's a concert by Ms. Hua Meiyu every night at 7 PM. You're welcome to come.

" Lin Yupeng laughed and said, "Okay, besides the dance hall, what else is fun here?"

The waiter respectfully replied, "There are restaurants, bars, karaoke, cafes, card rooms, massage rooms, and a bathhouse. If you get tired, we even have guest rooms to rest!"

Lin Yupeng smiled faintly, thinking to himself, "The service here is quite comprehensive—a one-stop shop for food, drinks, entertainment, and lodging! I need to find He Wenwen. How should I do that?"

He thought for a moment, then said to the waiter, "Take me to the bar first!"

"Alright, please follow me!" The waiter, always impeccably polite, led Lin Yupeng, Xiang Kui, and Leng Rui to the bar on the left side of the first floor. The interior was undeniably European-style, opulent yet elegant, exuding a warm and romantic atmosphere. Soft neon lights shone from the ceiling and walls, and upbeat music drifted in. A faint aroma of alcohol mingled with the scent of women's perfume filled the air.

Upon entering the bar, Lin Yupeng saw several young couples dancing to the music on the dance floor next to the bar. The dances performed there were mostly fast-paced, trendy styles like street dance, samba, and disco, suitable for fashionable young people. Meanwhile, the large dance hall on the second floor featured more refined styles like waltzes.

Lin Yupeng's eyes gleamed as he scanned the dance hall. There weren't many people, only about thirty or forty, a mix of young and old. Some were flirting with the bar girls, while others were drinking and enjoying the music, swaying their heads with contented expressions.

He knew that those who frequented "Shuiyuntian" were wealthy and powerful; the people in this bar were definitely a mixed bag. The young people dancing on the dance floor were likely the sons of some big boss or high-ranking official. In short, this place was a haven for the wealthy and powerful.

According to Lin Yupeng's plan, he intended to find a bar girl, chat casually, and subtly inquire whether she knew He Wenwen. This was currently the only feasible option—a clandestine investigation to avoid alerting her.

Therefore, Lin Yupeng leaned down and sat on the soft chair next to the counter, smiling at the waitress inside, "Three curtains of test-tube cocktails, please!"

The waitress smiled sweetly and immediately placed three curtains of test-tube cocktails, already prepared by the bartender, on the counter. Test tubes are containers for cocktails, usually with two rows per curtain, eight tubes in total, filled with cocktails of various colors, including red, green, yellow, blue, purple, and white. Each color has a different taste and flavor, especially the test-tube cocktails prepared by senior bartenders, which have a unique and unforgettable taste.

Lin Yupeng particularly liked these test-tube cocktails; they were similar to the colorful candies he used to buy as a child, each color representing a different flavor. He loved them, though those candies are rare now, but similar test-tube cocktails still exist. Looking at the test-tube cocktails on the table, he suddenly recalled a drinking contest he had with his rival, Fei Wenchao, at a party. He had gotten Fei Wenchao completely drunk, making him look foolish in front of Chen Lihan.

Thinking of Chen Lihan, a warm, tender feeling welled up in Lin Yupeng's heart, but he knew now was not the time to think about her. So he picked up a red test tube of wine, drank it all in one gulp, and found it sweet and refreshing with a long, lingering aftertaste—truly a superb flavor that only a master bartender could create.

Just then, a bar hostess gracefully walked over, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes sparkling with bright, alluring eyes. Holding a half-smoked cigarette, she leaned down and sat beside Lin Yupeng, smiling sweetly, "Sir, is this your first time here? I've never seen you before!"

Lin Yupeng sized her up. This woman was quite attractive, her eyes seemed to speak volumes; she was clearly a seasoned veteran of the pleasure quarters. He chuckled and said, "Yes! First time here. What's your name?"

"My name is Lanlan!" the bar hostess replied with a sweet smile, her large eyes blinking.

"That's a pretty tacky name; you could probably find a ton of those in entertainment venues!" Lin Yupeng muttered to himself, but his face beamed with the joy of a first meeting. He extended his hand and smiled, "Lanlan, hello! It's a pleasure to meet you."

Lanlan smiled sweetly and shook his hand. This woman's hand wasn't the delicate smoothness of a typical young girl's; instead, it possessed an alluring elasticity. Her voice had a captivating magnetism: "Sir, you seem rather bored drinking alone. May I have a drink with you?"

Lin Yupeng laughed heartily, "Sure!" He then pushed the bottle of wine he had just ordered towards her.

Lanlan smiled sweetly and shook her head, her eyes sparkling with desire. She asked in a soft voice, "I'd like to drink brandy, is that alright?"

Lin Yupeng knew the bar girls' job here: to get customers to spend freely and without restraint. The more alcohol they sold, the more commission they received. Of course, if they arranged for a customer to go out with them, then all the earnings would go to her; that was her private business and had nothing to do with "Shuiyuntian."

"Sure, what kind of brandy would you like?" Lin Yupeng asked with a smile.

Lanlan took a wine list from the waitress and handed it to Lin Yupeng, smiling sweetly, "Sir, this is a list of the types and prices of brandy in the bar. Please take a look!"

Lin Yupeng glanced at it and said in a deep voice, "Give me a bottle of 'Louis XIII'!" The price on it was 9900 yuan. Since the minimum charge at "Shuiyuntian" was 10,000 yuan, ordering this bottle of "Louis XIII," plus the sample wine he had just ordered, would bring the total to over 10,000 yuan.

Upon hearing this, Lanlan's pretty face immediately showed a sweet smile of joy. Selling this bottle of Louis XIII would at least earn her a... The commission of 1,000 yuan, although there is a minimum spending threshold of 10,000 yuan at "Shuiyuntian," is the total spending limit, including many entertainment venues within "Shuiyuntian." Chapter 725 Reencounter with

Zhu Yan Lanlan had long since realized that Lin Yupeng was a generous spender; once things went well, his spending would far exceed just that one bottle of "Louis XIII." A bottle of "Louis XIII" was placed on the counter by the waiter. Lanlan's eyes were full of smiles as she diligently poured a glass for herself and Lin Yupeng, saying sweetly, "Sir, would you like a toast?" Lin Yupeng smiled slightly, picked up his glass, and downed it in one gulp. He found it sweet and with an unforgettable aftertaste; it was indeed genuine Louis XIII. Brandy is graded based on barrel aging time; those aged for over a certain number of years are Louis XIII. Tasting Louis XIII is like experiencing a fantastical sensory journey: initially, you can taste fruity aromas like cherry, daffodil, jasmine, passion fruit, and lychee, followed by vanilla and cigar box notes. As the alcohol gradually evaporates, the delicate fragrance of iris, violet, rose, and sandalwood resin becomes even more memorable. Lin Yupeng wasn't there to taste the wine; his purpose was to elicit information about He Wenwen's whereabouts. The hostess sitting next to her, Lanlan, was simply trying to get Lin Yupeng to spend more money on wine. She was already calculating in her mind whether to use the tragic story she had fabricated to evoke his sympathy, talk about his love life, or simply use words to arouse his desire. Just then, three more people walked into the bar, two men and a woman, or rather, two servants and a mistress. The mistress was a woman, and Lin Yupeng glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. He recognized her immediately; it was Zhu Yan, the "Mrs. Guan" he had met at the celebration party a few days ago. Behind her were two burly men with piercing eyes and cold expressions, clearly servants and bodyguards. Lin Yupeng didn't see the "old fox" Guan Jiyao, the deputy minister of finance, and thought to himself, "This old guy didn't come? Zhu Yan came to Shuiyuntian by herself?"

As she was pondering, Zhu Yanmei's eyes sparkled with interest as she spotted Lin Yupeng sitting by the counter. Her beautiful, clear eyes lit up instantly, like a tiger spotting its prey. A sweet smile appeared on her delicate face as she gracefully walked towards Lin Yupeng.

Lin Yupeng initially pretended not to see her, but Zhu Yan did. A strong, alluring fragrance wafted over, and Zhu Yan, dressed in a flamboyant manner, gracefully approached Lin Yupeng, smiling sweetly and saying in a coquettish voice, "So it's Young Master Lin! Hello, what a coincidence to meet you here!"

"Young Master Lin? Why is it so fashionable to call men 'Young Master' in the capital?" Lin Yupeng muttered to himself, but smiled and said, "So it's Madam Guan! Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you!" After saying that, he deliberately glanced at her from both sides and asked seriously, "Isn't Minister Guan here?"

Zhu Yan smiled faintly and replied in a sweet voice, "He has a social engagement. I was bored at home, so I came here to have some fun!"

"Oh, hehe, Madam Guan, you have a good time!" Lin Yupeng smiled slightly, his eyes gleaming as he surveyed her. She was still wearing a bright red evening gown, lace trimmed with gemstones and pearls. Her snow-white, lotus-root-like arms were faintly visible through the white gauze, and her high, firm breasts trembled with her breath, tempting any man's senses. She was adorned with jewels, radiant and dazzling. Amethyst earrings adorned her delicate earlobes, a diamond necklace graced her neck, a jade bracelet adorned her wrists, and a platinum ring adorned her slender fingers. She could truly be called the "Gem Lady."

Zhu Yan's eyes sparkled with allure. She glanced at Lanlan beside Lin Yupeng, then at Louis XIII on the table, and giggled sweetly, "Young Master Lin, you have quite the refined taste!"

Lin Yupeng smiled slightly and said, "Would Madam Guan like to have a few drinks too?"

Zhu Yan smiled sweetly and said in a coquettish voice, "Young Master Lin, come upstairs with me for a dance! I couldn't find a suitable dance partner there, so I came here, and I just happened to run into you!

" "Could this woman really be interested in me?" Lin Yupeng thought to himself, recalling Fan Qixuan's words, but he remained calm and said, "Madam Guan, I'm not a very good dancer!

" Zhu Yan giggled and said, "It's alright, I can teach you!" With that, she moved closer to Lin Yupeng and suddenly took his arm. Lin Yupeng felt his arm being enveloped by soft, warm flesh, and a surge of heat rose within him. He thought to himself, "This woman is too bold!"

He quickly pulled his arm away and said seriously, "Madam Guan, please don't do this. It wouldn't be good if someone saw us." He then glanced at the two bodyguards behind Zhu Yan, seeing that they remained expressionless, and muttered to himself, "These two just indulge their mistress..." "Seducing men outside?"

Zhu Yan giggled, taking Lin Yupeng's arm again. A delicate fragrance wafted towards him as she whispered in his ear, "Young Master Lin, it's alright, we're all on the same side!"

Lin Yupeng understood her words. It turned out she had bribed the two bodyguards. Thinking about it, this woman certainly knew how to handle men; the two bodyguards were no match for her. Originally sent by Guan Jiyao to keep an eye on Zhu Yan, the old man probably never dreamed he'd married a vixen. Those two bodyguards had now become her protectors while she seduced men.

Clinging to this woman like a persistent plaster, Lin Yupeng was truly at a loss. He couldn't afford to offend this "official's wife," and besides, she had considerable value to him. Perhaps he might as well play along with her tonight.

Thinking of this, he chuckled and abruptly stood up. At this moment, Lanlan, seeing her prey snatched away by a flirtatious woman, was displeased. Her plan to make a fortune had been ruined. Her face darkened, and she said coldly, "Sir, please pay for the drinks, Muba!"

Zhu Yan turned her head gracefully, her almond-shaped eyes glancing provocatively at Lanlan, and asked sweetly, "How much are the drinks for Young Master Lin?"

At this moment, the clerk behind the counter interjected, "Twelve thousand nine hundred yuan! That's the price for Louis XIII and the three-tube sample wine. "

Zhu Yan smiled sweetly, glancing at a bodyguard behind her. The bodyguard understood, pulled out a wad of cash—a full twenty thousand yuan—from his briefcase, and slammed it on the counter.

"Madam Guan, isn't this inappropriate? I should pay for this!" Lin Yupeng said with a cheerful smile, politely declining.

Zhu Yan's beautiful eyes sparkled as she circled Lin Yupeng's handsome face, her lips parting slightly as she said in a sweet voice, "Young Master Lin, don't be so polite! I took up your drinking time to make you dance with me, so it's only right that I pay for the drinks!"

Zhu Yan nodded to the clerk behind the counter and said sweetly, "That's twenty thousand yuan, the rest is for a tip!" The clerk smiled sweetly, collected the money, and gave Lin Yupeng a receipt as proof that his minimum spending exceeded ten thousand yuan; the security guard at the door

would need to verify it when he left. Lin Yupeng chuckled and said, "Then I can thank you, Madam Guan!" But in his heart, he thought: The wife of the Vice Minister of Finance, she really spends money extravagantly! Zhu Yan smiled faintly, her eyes shimmering with alluring glances as she looked at Lin Yupeng, and stammered, "Young Master Lin, please don't call me Madam Guan, okay?" "That sounds too formal. Just call me Zhu Yan, or if you don't mind me being your older sister, just call me Sister Yan!" With that, she leaned closer, her high, firm breasts pressing against Lin Yupeng's arm. The strong, alluring sweet fragrance filled his nostrils, making his heart flutter. "Okay, then I'll call you Sister Yan from now on!" Lin Yupeng readily agreed. Zhu Yan's eyes were alluring, and she said in a sweet voice, "Young Master Lin, let's go dance! I can't wait!" "After saying that, she took Lin Yupeng's arm and left the bar, heading straight for the large dance hall on the second floor. Judging by her eagerness, it seemed she wanted to sleep with Lin Yupeng. Upon arriving at the dance hall, they saw a heavily made-up female singer performing foreign songs on stage. Although the singer was stunningly beautiful, she paled in comparison to the top performer, Hua Meiyu. The hall was quite noisy; some people were flirting with the hostesses, others were dancing with their partners, and very few were attentive to the music—a stark contrast to the electrifying scene at Hua Meiyu's concert that day. The dance floor was dimly lit, and several couples were intimately embracing and swaying, their movements more like arousing lust than dancing, waiting for things to escalate." "Well, maybe we'll have to go to a hotel to relieve our pent-up desires." Lin Yupeng and Zhu Yan walked hand in hand into the dance floor and began to dance gracefully to the soothing music. It was a slow waltz, perfect for those with average dancing skills. Zhu Yan was indeed a veteran of the pleasure quarters; her dancing skills were clearly a level above Lin Yupeng's. Her body was light, her legwork exquisite, and her movements graceful. Combined with her charming and alluring eyes and intoxicating sweet smile, she could drive any man wild. Lin Yupeng held her slender waist, feeling its soft, delicate skin like cotton. Holding her delicate hand, inhaling her fresh, sweet fragrance, he felt his soul drift away. But he managed to steady himself; he couldn't let this vixen completely bewitch him. He had to keep his head clear. "Young Master Lin, you dance quite well! You just said you weren't good at it, how modest!" "Zhu Yan swayed her sexy and alluring body while giggling. "Hehe, so-so!" Lin Yupeng stared at her captivating peach blossom eyes, a smug look on his face. Zhu Yan giggled, her fragrant body getting closer and closer to Lin Yupeng, until she simply stuck to him. Her soft, firm, full, and high breasts pressed firmly against Lin Yupeng's chest, and with their movements, the two points of her breasts created a fatal friction, sending waves of electric, tingling pleasure through him.

Lin Yupeng knew this woman was using her body to arouse his desire. He felt a sudden dryness in his mouth, a surge of heat rising from his lower abdomen, and a sudden surge of lust within him. He couldn't help but wrap his arms around her slender waist, causing her to lean her entire body weight onto him.

Zhu Yanmei's mouth was brimming with passion, her body burning hot. Her hands naturally rested on his shoulders, her cheeks flushed, appearing exceptionally alluring and tempting in the dim light of the dance hall. The two swayed to the soothing music, the wonderful sensations from their tight embrace and friction rising wave after wave.

The charm of a mature woman is indeed irresistible, especially since Zhu Yanmei was adept at using her body to seduce men. Her skills and techniques surpassed even Qiao Fenny's. Soon, Lin Yupeng was aroused to a high level of lust, his mind soaring as if floating on clouds.

Fortunately, a sliver of clarity remained in his mind, preventing him from completely succumbing to Zhu Yan's tenderness. The two held each other tightly, throbbing for a while, when suddenly Lin Yupeng noticed the beauty in his arms was trembling even more violently. Looking down, he saw Zhu Yan's delicate face contorted in pain, her lips trembling, her alluring face flushed crimson, as red as a ripe apple, beads of sweat forming on her nose and forehead. Her body was writhing faster and faster, almost convulsing.

"Sister Yan, what's wrong?" Lin Yupeng asked with concern, his eyes gleaming.

Tears welled in Zhu Yan's eyes as she groaned in pain, "Young Master Lin, my chest pain is acting up! I can't breathe, oh, it hurts so much!"

"Do you have heart disease?" Lin Yupeng, being a doctor, knew that chest pain was mostly caused by cardiovascular disease, but could also be caused by neurological disorders, among others.

"I...I don't know, I've had this problem since I was little, and the hospital can't find anything...Young Master Lin, I can't breathe, please rub my breasts...Ugh..." Zhu Yan's pretty face was flushed, her beautiful mouth was full of bitter tears, her breathing became rapid, and her rosy and tender lips were wide open, constantly exhaling a strong and intoxicating fragrance.

"Rubbing your breasts? This won't do, I'll take you to the hospital!" Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said seriously.

Zhu Yan was panting heavily, and pointed with a trembling finger to a dark corner by the dance floor, groaning, "Let's go there! No one will see, please rub them for me, it hurts so much!"

After saying that, the woman grabbed Lin Yupeng's arm and pulled him to a secluded corner of the dance floor, and guided his hands to her full and firm breasts, rubbing them continuously.

Lin Yupeng felt a soft, tender sensation under his hands. Her breasts were firm and elastic, too large for one hand to cover; he could only knead them like dough. Waves of full, satisfying pleasure emanated from his palms. Looking at Zhu Yan's slightly closed eyes, flushed cheeks, and blissful expression, she hardly seemed ill.

Lin Yupeng sneered inwardly, "So your chest pain was all an act? Another way to seduce men!" He suddenly remembered the ancient beauty Xi Shi, who suffered from chest pain. When the pain struck, she would clutch her chest, her delicate features slightly furrowed, making her even more alluring. This Zhu Yan had probably borrowed from Xi Shi's story! However, she had taken it to a whole new level, to the point that only a man's touch could relieve her pain. What a seductive tactic!

Chapter 727 Night Visit to the Gao Mansion

"

Mmm...it doesn't hurt anymore...Young Master Lin, keep rubbing...it feels so good..." Zhu Yan's beautiful eyes were filled with alluring charm, her brows were delicate and her face was flushed with embarrassment. She groaned softly with her lips slightly parted.

Lin Yupeng chuckled, guessing that this woman was flaunting her charms. He moved his hands faster, and he had already rubbed half of Zhu Yan's evening dress down, revealing her soft and smooth shoulders. Fortunately, the lighting was dim, and only Lin Yupeng could see her exposed skin, which was exactly what she wanted him to see.

"So good...so comfortable...harder..." Zhu Yan's body twisted, responding to Lin Yupeng's movements, and she groaned softly.

Lin Yupeng's desire instantly surged, and he increased the speed of his rubbing. Suddenly, a fragrant breeze wafted over, and Zhu Yan took the initiative to bring her cherry lips to his, their lips meeting.

Zhu Yan's kissing skills were superb; her soft, fragrant tongue moved like a swimming fish, possessing an indescribable sweetness. It was so soft and smooth, each movement bringing an intoxicating pleasure. Lin Yupeng, of course, wasn't to be outdone, taking the initiative, forcefully sucking her red lips, licking her delicate tongue, while his hands continued to knead her breasts.

After a passionate, intimate encounter, Zhu Yan's breathing quickened. She twisted her jade-like neck, pressing her fragrant lips to Lin Yupeng's ear, and whispered sweetly, "Young Master Lin, you're making me feel so good! Let's go somewhere else, how about I make you feel good too?" Her voice was seductively alluring, irresistible.

"Sister Yan, where to?" Lin Yupeng chuckled, knowing full well what was going on.

"Silly boy, of course we'll go somewhere with a bed! You dance with me, and I'll give you a night of pure bliss!" Zhu Yan's eyes were alluring, her body writhing like a snake in Lin Yupeng's arms. She didn't want the spark she'd ignited so quickly to die down!

Lin Yupeng's eyes darted around, a cold glint flashing across them. He chuckled dryly, "Sister, isn't this a bit much? If you don't come home tonight, won't Minister Guan be worried sick?"

Zhu Yan giggled, gently stroking Lin Yupeng's back a few times, and said sweetly, "That old man isn't home tonight!"

Lin Yupeng was taken aback, and asked with a smile, "Minister Guan isn't home? Where did he go?"

Zhu Yan pressed her body against him, and replied sweetly, "He went to the Gao Mansion. He definitely won't be back tonight. Let's find a hotel and get a room. I'll keep you company. Don't worry, nothing will happen!"

A glint flashed in Lin Yupeng's eyes, and he asked seriously, "The Gao Mansion? Is that the home of Vice Premier Gao Yi?"

“Yes, Minister Guan and the Gao family are very close…” Zhu Yan answered every question to lure Lin Yupeng into bed as soon as possible, hoping to dispel his doubts. But she suddenly paused, realizing she had said something she shouldn’t have, and quickly changed her words, “It’s also because of work! Young Master Lin, don’t think so much, let’s have some fun!”

But words spoken are words spilled, and no matter how she tried to cover them up, they were futile. Hearing those words, Lin Yupeng thought to himself, “So Guan Jiyao and Gao Yi are in cahoots. This old guy pretends to be a fence-sitter, but he’s actually siding with Gao Yi. If their relationship wasn’t close enough, how could he stay overnight at the Gao family’s house?”

Seeing that Lin Yupeng was silent for a while, Zhu Yan assumed he was still hesitating about whether to sleep with her, so she continued her seductive psychological offensive, saying in a sweet voice, “Young Master Lin, don’t hesitate! I’m sure I’ll make you feel amazing!” As she spoke, she shook Lin Yupeng’s arm like a child pleading.

Lin Yupeng chuckled, gently pushing aside her fragrant and radiant body, and said seriously, "Sister Yan, it won't work today. I have things to do tomorrow! Not getting enough rest at night will affect my mental state!" He planned to play hard to get and use a long-term strategy to catch a big fish.

Zhu Yan had no idea of Lin Yupeng's inner thoughts. Upon hearing this, her expression darkened. Few men could refuse such a request, and a look of disappointment immediately welled up in her beautiful mouth. She said softly, "Young Master Lin, you...you despise me, don't you? You must have stopped those slanderous words and think of me as a promiscuous woman, right?"

How could Lin Yupeng admit that? He quickly replied seriously, "Sister Yan, you misunderstood. I didn't mean that!" As he spoke, a wicked smile appeared on his face. "I'm quite capable in that area. I can do it all night long! How about another day?"

He planned to get rid of this woman quickly so he could go back and operate the robot to sneak into the Gao mansion at night and listen to what Guan Jiyao and Gao Yi were talking about. "To know what's in someone's heart, you must listen to what they say behind their back."

Seeing that Lin Yupeng was determined not to sleep with her that night, Zhu Yan's expression turned sorrowful. However, after hearing Lin Yupeng say that he was incredibly capable and could "keep her up all night," her heart fluttered with desire. She asked for his phone number, planning to find another opportunity to ask him out later. In short, Lin Yupeng didn't seem to dislike her, which meant she would have plenty of opportunities in the future and would eventually get what she wanted.

Lin Yupeng was no longer in the mood to dance with her. He excused himself, saying he was tired, and left "Shuiyuntian." He went straight back to the presidential suite on the top floor of the Sky Dome Building. He glanced at his watch; it was nine o'clock at night. He hurriedly took out his laptop and robot from his suitcase, connected the internet cable, opened the operating system, and released Little Flying Insect No. 3.

He was unfamiliar with the geography of Yanjing City. Although he knew from Gao Ya's wedding invitation that the Gao Mansion was located at No. 1 Huashan Road, Nancheng District, Yanjing City, the exact location was difficult to find. He could only search for an electronic map of Yanjing City online, glance at the map, and then switch to the robot operating system to pilot the Little Flying Insect No. 3 to the destination. This significantly slowed down the speed, and it took nearly an hour to find the Gao Mansion.

When Lin Yupeng saw the Gao Mansion, his eyes lit up, and he chuckled inwardly: "This is not a mansion, it's clearly a converted royal palace!"

The Gao Mansion covered an area of more than 50 acres, surrounded by a large wall more than 10 feet high with barbed wire. Inside the mansion were two three-story antique-style residential buildings, magnificent and resplendent like a royal palace. Surrounding them were gardens with rockeries, winding corridors, pavilions, ponds, and flowers.

A team of armed police guarded the entrance of the mansion. After all, this was the residence of the Vice Premier, and security had to be the top priority. But for Lin Yupeng's robot, neither walls nor armed police could stop it. He quickly maneuvered Little Insect No. 3 into a residential building.

The interior was naturally magnificent and beautiful, as it had been converted from an ancient palace. The original framework and some carvings remained, with painted beams and carved pillars, beautiful murals on the walls, and calligraphy and couplets by famous figures. "There are so many rooms here, which one is Gao Yi and Guan Jiyao? Are they already asleep in their rooms?" Lin Yupeng stared at the monitor screen, pondering to himself. He maneuvered Little Insect

No. 3 to hover in the first-floor lobby for a while, just as he was about to fly to the second floor, he suddenly saw a young female nanny emerge from the kitchen on the left side of the lobby. She was in her early twenties, with a sweet and charming appearance. Here, she couldn't be called a "servant"—this was modern society, and the wheels of history rolled forward; a different term was needed! Concubines were now called "second wives," young girls were called "ladies" or "escort girls," and "prostitution" was called "outcall" or "compensated dating," and so on. The nanny was carrying a tray laden with dried fruits like melon seeds, almonds, and pine nuts, along with several delicate pastries. She carefully carried the tray upstairs. Lin Yupeng's heart skipped a beat. He thought, "Bringing midnight snacks up so late? Who's she sending them to? It must be someone important in the Gao mansion! I'll follow her and see!" With that thought, he piloted his Little Flying Insect No. 3 to follow the nanny to the third floor, arriving at a luxurious reception room. Once he adjusted the view of the "Little Flying Insect No. 3" and saw the scene inside, his eyes lit up. The room was resplendent with gold and bright lights. In the center, two men in their fifties sat on two leather sofas. One of them, dressed in a suit and tie, was tall and slender, about 1.85 meters, with a sallow complexion and dark circles under his eyes—clearly the result of excessive lust. He had an oval face, a pointed chin, and a pair of triangular eyes that gleamed with a sharp light. He exuded an air of imperious authority. This man was none other than Guan Jiyao, the Vice Minister of Finance. The man beside Guan Jiyao was ruddy-faced, with piercing eyes that shone brightly. He appeared energetic and spirited. He was half a head shorter than Guan Jiyao, but his official air was far more pronounced, transforming into an overbearing and imposing presence that commanded respect and prevented anyone from taking him seriously. Lin Yupeng didn't need to think twice to guess that this person must be Gao Yi, the Vice Premier and Minister of the Interior of the State Council, the third-highest-ranking official after the President and the Prime Minister, and a strong contender for the future presidency. The nanny placed the tray on the coffee table and then poured tea into the cups in front of Gao Yi and Guan Jiyao. Gao Yi waved to her, and the nanny turned and left. Guan Jiyao picked up his teacup, took a sip, glanced at Gao Yi beside him, and said with a smile, "Brother Gao, how much of a chance do you have of winning this election?" Gao Yi's eyes narrowed, his expression grave, and he pondered, "It's hard to say. Even in the competition among the party's candidates, my advantage isn't obvious!" Guan Jiyao was taken aback and asked in a deep voice, "Hasn't Cui Rongzhe, the chairman of Weiye Group, already agreed to support your presidential candidacy? With Weiye Group's influence in Yanjing City, I believe many other large companies are on your side, providing you with strong material support. The so-called presidential election, frankly speaking, isn't it just a contest of money?" Gao Yi sneered, "Brother Guan, it's not as simple as you say! You're vying for their votes, but other candidates are also vying for them, and they have to spend a lot of money on publicity! Take the party election for example, there are currently three candidates vying for the presidency, and there are more than three thousand party representatives nationwide. Who will ultimately win?" "To be an official candidate, you need to buy their votes. Can you buy them all? That would cost a fortune!" Guan Jiyao's face darkened, and he said seriously, "Well, you have an advantage over the other candidates. You're a high-ranking government official now, and a figure with public influence. It shouldn't be difficult for you to garner votes, right? Besides, I feel that with over three thousand representatives, if we can secure fifty percent, we'll have victory in our grasp! Don't worry about the money; we have plenty!" Gao Yi smiled smugly, "Well, then we'll have to rely on you. And the publicity must be top-notch!" Guan Jiyao said seriously, "Don't worry about that; I will definitely cooperate with you! In addition, I will continue to favor Weiye Group in terms of policy and increase financial subsidies, so that Weiye Group can contribute more money to support your candidacy!" Gao Yi smiled slightly upon hearing this and said, "Then thank you, Minister Guan, haha! " Guan Jiyao was taken aback and laughed heartily, "Brother Gao, are you joking again? Why are you thanking me between brothers? If you become president, I can also benefit from it!" Gao Yi's eyes flashed with a sudden glint of light as he smiled faintly, "Of course, at least I can promote you! And incidentally, I can even give you the title of Vice Premier!" Lin Yupeng, watching from the monitor, overheard their conversation and inwardly sneered, "Guan Jiyao, you old fox, you've finally shown your true colors! You and Gao Yi are like brothers, and you're even helping him with his election campaign. It seems you've been in cahoots for a long time! You old bastard, you've been hiding it quite well; even my godfather, Jin Tai, doesn't know your true stance!" Guan Jiyao, hearing Gao Yi's advance promise of an official position, showed a shrewd and cunning expression of delight. His triangular eyes were full of smiles as he said obsequiously, "Then I'll thank you in advance, Brother Gao!" Gao Yi's face suddenly darkened, and he said seriously, "Brother Guan, aren't you thanking me a little too early? I'm not the President yet!" Guan Jiyao grinned so hard his crow's feet were practically blooming, and said in a deep voice, "In my opinion, the presidential throne is already yours!" Gao Yi chuckled, his eyes flashing with a sharp light as he stared intently at Guan Jiyao, and asked seriously, "Brother Guan, I heard you attended the celebration party for that Tianqiong Group. For someone of your status to go to a company that seems like a tiny ant is beneath you!" Hearing Gao Yi's disdain for the Tianqiong Group, Lin Yupeng thought to himself with resentment, "Gao Yi! You think the Tianqiong Group is a small company? Fine, then I'll show you how my little ant will bring down this big dinosaur!"

Guan Jiyao chuckled and said in a deep voice, "Brother Gao, Tianqiong Group doesn't seem as bad as you say, does it? It's a multinational corporation after all, with considerable strength and overseas operations! Especially since Tianqiong Group and Lant Group have a close relationship, I went to the banquet to indirectly inquire about Lant's true situation!"

Gao Yi's eyes narrowed, and he pondered, "It seems Lant Group is going to cooperate with Tianqiong Group?"

Guan Jiyao's eyes flashed with a cunning light, and he replied seriously, "That's right! I think Fan Zhenliang and Jin Tai have a very close personal relationship. If they join forces, they will always be a threat to us."

Gao

Yi

's eyes shot out a sharp glint, and he said coldly, "These days, there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests! Tianqiong Group and Lant Group are no exception! There must be a way to break their alliance!" Guan Jiyao's triangular eyes darted around, and he said seriously, "

Brother Gao, I've heard that Lin Yupeng, the vice president of Tianqiong Group, is a dangerous person. He's Jin Tai's godson, and he'll naturally become the chairman in the future! This person is said to be very difficult to deal with. In just six months, he turned Tianhan City upside down, brought down many rivals, and even the secret task force targeting Tianqiong Group couldn't do anything to him. So far, they haven't collected any evidence against him. You definitely shouldn't underestimate Lin Yupeng!"

Lin Yupeng chuckled inwardly, "They're talking about me again. I'd like to hear what they're saying about me behind my back!"

On the monitor, Gao Yi's face darkened after hearing Guan Jiyao's words, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. He said in a deep voice, "I've heard of Lin Yupeng. Only twenty-four or twenty-five years old, yet he has such great abilities? Brother Guan, you must have seen him at the party that night, right? What did you think? Are those rumors exaggerated?"

Guan Jiyao shook his head, his voice cold, "Not at all! Lin Yupeng gives the impression of being unassuming. Although he hides his brilliance, I can tell he's no ordinary person; he's destined for greatness and will rise to prominence sooner or later!"

Gao Yi sneered, "Brother Guan, why are you spouting literary nonsense? He's just a twenty-something-year-old greenhorn. But I'll keep an eye on him, and on Wu Ende's special task force. I'll supervise them." " Please urge him to speed up the investigation. The Tianqiong Group has moved to Yanjing City, hasn't it? They're right under our noses! I refuse to believe we can't find anything out!"

Guan Jiyao smiled slightly. "Hopefully, the special investigation team will make progress! In these extraordinary times, we should be cautious! I heard that Gao Gongzi's wedding the day after tomorrow seems to have invited the Tianqiong Group. Lin Yupeng will probably be there; you can meet him then!"

Gao Yi was taken aback and said in a deep voice, "Really? My son Gao Ya was in charge of inviting guests to the wedding. I really didn't know he invited people from the Tianqiong Group!"

Guan Jiyao chuckled dryly, "Yes, Brother Gao is very busy. Let Xiao Ya handle these small matters! I think that kid is quite promising!"

Lin Yupeng thought to himself with resentment, "Pah! Guan Jiyao, are you talking nonsense? Getting married more than ten times a year is considered promising? Bullying men and women is... " "A promising future? This kind of scum should be scrapped and sent to the garbage dump!"

Gao Yi and Guan Jiyao chatted for a while longer, until the early hours of the morning before returning to their rooms to rest. Since Guan Jiyao was staying at Gao's mansion that night, he naturally went to the large bedroom arranged for him.

Lin Yupeng, maneuvering Little Flying Insect No. 3, followed Gao Yi to his bedroom. He saw Gao Yi pour himself a glass of water, take two sleeping pills, and then take off his clothes and lie down on the bed to sleep. He lived alone in such a large bedroom, and he hadn't seen Gao Yi's wife at all. Had Gao Yi and his wife divorced, or had his wife already passed away?

Lin Yupeng didn't have time to investigate these trivial questions. He saw Gao Yi reach up and scratch his head, then suddenly remove the hood he was wearing. It turned out that this guy was bald, with only a little hair around his forehead. In order not to affect his public image, he decided to... A high-end wig was made, so realistic that even Lin Yupeng couldn't tell it was fake.

But no matter how good the wig was, it wasn't part of his own body, and wearing it all the time wasn't comfortable. Gao Yi took it off before going to sleep, placed it on the bedside table, turned off the light, and lay down to drift off to sleep.

Seeing no interesting information, Lin Yupeng maneuvered his Little Flying Insect No. 3 to fly out of Gao Yi's bedroom and into Guan Jiyao's bedroom, which was actually diagonally opposite Gao Yi's. As soon as

he entered, he saw Guan Jiyao flirting with a woman in her mid-twenties, dressed flamboyantly. This woman was quite attractive, with a sexy and alluring figure, and large, seemingly seductive eyes that could arouse a man's desire; she was clearly a seasoned pro.

Lin Yupeng sneered inwardly, "The Gao mansion even has these kinds of escorts? No wonder Zhu Yan was so sure she told me Guan Jiyao wouldn't be coming home tonight; there's a woman seducing him here!" "

Guan Jiyao's face turned sinister. He glared at the woman a few times and chuckled dryly, "Qiuyue, long time no see. You've become more and more beautiful. Which man has been nourishing you?

" Lin Yupeng thought to himself, "It seems they've been having an affair for a long time! This Qiuyue looks like the Gao family's nanny. Could it be that Gao Yi arranged for her and Guan Jiyao to have an affair? This is really interesting! The Gao mansion is so big, there must be many female nannies. Lin Yupeng doesn't know what kind of person Gao Yi is, but Gao Ya is a big lecher. The female nannies in the Gao mansion have probably already been played with by him!"

At this moment, the woman named Qiuyue said in a coquettish voice, "Who told you to never come! Is your wife keeping a close eye on you?"

Guan Jiyao chuckled dryly, "What right does she have to watch me? Do you think I don't know what kind of woman she is? She's been seducing other men behind my back. If I don't go home tonight, who knows which man she'll be in!"

Lin Yupeng secretly sneered, "Guan Jiyao really knows his place! Your wife almost tricked me into bed tonight, and I honestly don't know whose bed she's in now.

" Qiu Yue pouted, her face full of disdain, and said in a coquettish voice, "You know all this, so why haven't you slept with her yet?"

Guan Jiyao chuckled wickedly, "We call this a mutually beneficial arrangement. She doesn't care about me, and I don't care about her. But this woman's skills in bed are really amazing; I'm a little reluctant to let her go!"

After saying that, his eyes darted around Qiu Yue's hot and sexy body, and he said with a wicked smile, "Qiu Yue, do you want me to sleep with Zhu Yan and marry you?" "Then you'd better show some skill and make me feel good first. At least you have to be on par with Zhu Yan in bed before I'll consider getting rid of her!"

"You...you're so annoying..." Qiu Yue blushed and pouted, but her hands began to undress Guan Jiyao.

Under the caress of her gentle hands, Guan Jiyao's desire surged, and he began to undress Qiu Yue as well. Soon, their naked bodies were intertwined.

Guan Jiyao was a well-known "old man pushing a cart," and his driving skills were quite good; his "old car" moved forward smoothly and orderly...

Chapter 730 The Key Link

Qiu Yue was also a veteran of the pleasure quarters. Her eyes were filled with seductive allure, her breasts heaved, and her body twisted and turned. Her legs were tightly wrapped around Guan Jiyao's waist, eagerly responding to him like a little horse pulling a cart, letting Guan Jiyao pound on her body, emitting seductive moans.

However, Guan Jiyao, this "cart owner," was obviously old and lacked stamina. He had only driven for less than half an hour when he suddenly braked, unloading all the cargo from the cart, and then collapsed, exhausted.

Lin Yupeng chuckled to himself: "Sigh, Guan Jiyao should take some Viagra. Learn from the 'Four Treasures General' Tan Shiquan! He never goes without Viagra, taking two pills before every encounter to ensure ample fighting power!"

Just then, Qiu Yue said in a coquettish voice, "Brother Guan, I don't want to work at the Gao Mansion anymore. Can you find a way to transfer me?"

Hearing this woman call Guan Jiyao "Brother," and call him that so sweetly, as if she'd just been pulled from a honey pot, Lin Yupeng was relieved that he'd digested his dinner properly, or he would have vomited. He secretly sneered, "Calling him 'Brother'? Guan Jiyao is old enough to be your uncle!"

Guan Jiyao embraced her naked body and chuckled dryly, "What's here?" "What's wrong with that? There's food and drink, and I come here often, so we have plenty of opportunities to meet!"

Qiu Yue said helplessly, "No matter how good it is, I'm still just a nanny. I have to be mindful of others' feelings and have no status at all!"

Guan Jiyao chuckled and coaxed her, "Qiu Yue, just hang in there for a few more days! When Gao Yi becomes president, I'll transfer you out!"

The two exchanged a few more cheesy love words that made one's skin crawl, and then fell into a deep sleep, as the intense battle they had just fought had exhausted them.

Lin Yupeng saw that there was nothing going on here, looked down at his watch, and realized it was almost 1 a.m. Everyone in the Gao mansion was probably asleep, and he probably wouldn't be able to find any information by manipulating the little flying insect.

He only had one memory chip, and it would take at least another year for Li Ke to make a second one. Therefore, this memory chip had to be used on the most crucial person. Who was that person? Of course, it was the future president, the top leader of the country.

"Hehe, only the future president will be qualified to receive this memory chip!" Lin Yupeng thought smugly to himself. Suddenly, a chill ran down his spine as he realized a crucial step—to control someone, one must establish contact with them and build an information database in their mind. Lin Yupeng currently didn't even know which candidate the Sky Dome Group was backing. It seemed he needed to find a time to get Jin Tai to reveal the truth; he couldn't afford to play coy now!

Lin Yupeng's plan remained unchanged: first, contact the candidate the group supported, leave a deep impression through close contact, and once he helped them ascend to the presidency, the success rate of controlling them would be high. Of course, political struggles are highly uncertain. If the candidate he supported failed, he would have to continue taking risks, trying to get close to the unfamiliar president-elect. Moreover, the new president might retaliate against Lin Yupeng because Lin Yupeng supported his opponent, making the success rate of controlling him very low. To ensure a sure victory, Lin Yupeng still needed to strive to have his own person become president.

Lin Yupeng's mind raced. Before he knew it, it was almost 4 AM. He piloted Little Flying Insect No. 3 into Gao Yi's bedroom, minimized the robot's operating system, and continued monitoring. He then lay down on the bed and took a nap.

At 7 AM, Lin Yupeng opened his eyes, washed up, ate breakfast, and went to his laptop in the bedroom. He launched the Little Flying Insect operating system and saw Gao Yi just getting up and getting dressed.

He then piloted Little Flying Insect No. 3 out of the living room and into Guan Jiyao's room, finding the old man still fast asleep, while Qiu Yue was nowhere to be seen. Lin Yupeng continued monitoring Gao Yi and Guan Jiyao. At 8 AM, Guan Jiyao got up, ate breakfast, and then said goodbye to Gao Yi and went home.

Tomorrow was Gao Yi's son Gao Ya's wedding, and the Gao mansion was bustling with activity. But all of this seemed irrelevant to Gao Yi. He spent his time in the living room sipping tea, occasionally strolling in the mansion's garden, enjoying the pleasant weekend.

Just as Lin Yupeng was observing, his phone rang. He picked it up and answered. Fan Qianqian's clear and melodious voice came from the other end: "Lin Yupeng, you promised to go shopping with me, you didn't go back on your word

, did you?" Lin Yupeng chuckled dryly: "Of course I didn't go back on my word. Where are you?" He thought to himself, "Why does this girl always have to be so domineering? She's used to being bossy. Compared to her, Tian Xin is nothing!"

"I'm right downstairs in your 'Poor Man's Building' place. Your security guards won't let me in. They're like watchdogs, so annoying!" Fan Qianqian said coquettishly on the phone.

Lin Yupeng smiled helplessly. This girl's words had diminished the entire company, including the security guards. He could only explain, "Qianqian, this isn't a 'poor man's building,' it's a 'sky dome building.' Do you think this place is poor? And the security guards at the entrance, they're just doing their job..."

Fan Qianqian interrupted him impatiently, "Alright, stop nagging and come down here!"

Lin Yupeng was monitoring Gao Yi when Fan Qianqian came to ask him to go shopping. He had to hide Little Flying Insect No. 3 inside Gao Yi's headgear so that he could transmit audio monitoring information no matter where he went. After

settling Little Flying Insect No. 3, Lin Yupeng came down from the sky dome building and arrived at the entrance, where he saw the "little witch" Fan Qianqian standing prettily next to a red Chevrolet sports car.

Today she wore a pure white tracksuit, her firm breasts high and prominent, almost bursting out, the alluring cleavage appearing and disappearing with her breath, her healthy, voluptuous, and undulating curves fully displayed, her slender waist and rounded, upturned buttocks forming a beautiful S-shape, full of hot and captivating charm; her clear and lively eyes were adorned with long, curled eyelashes, her nose was straight, her cherry-red lips were thin and tender, her delicate, beautiful, and moist lips were small and lustrous, her jet-black hair was tied into a small bun, revealing her ivory-white neck, and she wore a pair of white sneakers and white short stockings, making her look playful, cute, and full of youthful vigor.

"Why is this girl wearing such a thin tracksuit while shopping!" Lin Yupeng muttered to himself, then quickly walked up to Fan Qianqian and smiled, "Qianqian, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Fan

Qianqian 's cute, bright eyes widened, and she pouted, saying coquettishly, "So you know you're late! It took you a full ten minutes to get downstairs. Doesn't this Qiong Building have an elevator?" Lin Yupeng stared at her, chuckled, and said, "I had a little thing to take care of!" Fan Qianqian glanced at Xiang Kui, Lin Yupeng's bodyguard behind him, her pretty face immediately showing disdain, and she said coquettishly, "Do you bring a bodyguard when you go shopping?" Lin Yupeng smiled and said, "He's my driver. I can't drive!" Fan Qianqian giggled, "Get in my car! Don't worry, I won't sell you out!" "Who knows who'll sell whom!" Lin Yupeng muttered to himself, but said it aloud. Fan Qianqian, with her sharp ears, overheard a few words, her small eyes widening in anger. She snapped, "Lin Yupeng, what did you just say? Who sold whom?" Lin Yupeng smiled awkwardly, "Qianqian, you misheard. I didn't say that much!" He thought to himself, "This girl's words are like a powder keg!" Fan Qianqian persisted, "You still won't admit it, you bad guy!" Lin Yupeng's eyes darted around, and he chuckled dryly, "Qianqian, if we keep arguing here, we could argue all day. Aren't we going shopping today?" A mischievous glint flashed in Fan Qianqian's small, star-like eyes. She covered her mouth and giggled, "Of course! You have to pay for my soiled clothes! Let's get in the car!" Lin Yupeng had no choice but to open the car door and sit in the passenger seat . Fan Qianqian got into the driver's seat, started the car, and turned to Lin Yupeng, saying, "I drive really fast! If you're scared, buckle up! " Lin Yupeng chuckled, made a forward gesture, and said, "Drive! " Seeing that he wasn't wearing a seatbelt, Fan Qianqian secretly sneered, "Heh heh, who told you to act all high and mighty? Just wait and see how I mess with you!" The car started moving, and Fan Qianqian deliberately drove it swaying left and right like a drunkard, and at a very high speed, barely staying below the speed limit, constantly overtaking other cars, driving recklessly.

Lin Yupeng glanced at Fan Qianqian out of the corner of his eye. A mischievous smile played on her delicate, diamond-like lips, but her eyes were fixed intently on the road ahead and the rearview mirror. He knew she was deliberately playing a trick on him. He slumped heavily into his seat, his body sinking into it as if weighed down by a thousand pounds, his expression calm and fearless.

Fan Qianqian's driving skills were indeed excellent. Although she deliberately drove a bit riskily, it was actually a steady approach within the danger, skillfully dodging, yielding, and overtaking.

After driving for more than ten minutes, Fan Qianqian secretly glanced at Lin Yupeng again. Seeing his unchanging expression and composure, she was surprised. Wasn't Lin Yupeng's composure incredibly strong? But she still wouldn't have given up and asked, "Lin Yupeng, was I driving too fast?"

If Lin Yupeng had said yes, then Fan Qianqian would have easily gotten off the hook and slowed down. But to her surprise, Lin Yupeng chuckled dryly and replied, "It's alright! It would be even more fun if you went a little faster!"

Fan Qianqian was immediately annoyed. She glared at Lin Yupeng, her pretty cheeks puffed out, and said coquettishly, "What... what do you mean? If you drive any faster, you'll be speeding. Do you want the traffic police to punish me? Impound my car, hehe, then you won't have to go shopping with me, right?"

Lin Yupeng smiled and argued, "I didn't mean that! You misunderstood!"

Fan Qianqian snorted coldly, pouted her red lips, and stopped talking. She continued to concentrate on driving, but her speed was noticeably slower than before. Lin Yupeng suddenly saw his Audi following behind in the rearview mirror. He knew it must be Xiang Kui driving to secretly protect him. This full-time bodyguard was indeed very dedicated.

Fan Qianqian drove to the commercial district in downtown Yanjing, which was even more bustling than Xinglong Commercial District in Tianhan City. Shopping malls, department stores, specialty stores, and supermarkets lined up one after another, with people constantly moving about, especially on weekends when it was incredibly crowded and lively.

Fan Qianqian drove to an open-air parking lot, and then she and Lin Yupeng got out of the car and went into a department store.

Accompanying a woman shopping is a physically demanding task. Not only do you have to accompany her to every corner of the various shopping malls, but you also have to carry her purchases. Especially when she is choosing clothes, you have to offer your opinions and suggestions. Therefore, accompanying a girl shopping requires physical strength, endurance, and mental agility; it's not an exaggeration to call it a sport, but many men have a strong aversion to this kind of "sport."

Lin Yupeng followed Fan Qianqian to several shopping malls and realized that this woman was simply a shopaholic. No wonder she was wearing sportswear; it was for ease of walking. This is understandable; girls from wealthy families are rarely frugal. They have plenty of money, so they buy whatever they like without haggling.

Lin Yupeng's hands were brimming with more and more packages, all clothes and shoes Fan Qianqian had bought. Luckily, Lin Yupeng was incredibly strong, possessing the strength of Xiang Yu, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to carry all of these things.

Just as the two of them stopped in front of a down jacket counter, they suddenly heard a clear and sweet voice behind them: "Qianqian, is that you?"

Lin Yupeng and Fan Qianqian turned around abruptly and saw a girl in her early twenties standing in front of them. She was wearing a bright red wool coat, dazzlingly beautiful, with her jet-black hair flowing down, partially obscuring her clear, autumn-water-like eyes; she wore faded jeans and brown high boots. Beside her stood a tall and handsome man, about her age, presumably her boyfriend.

Fan Qianqian's pretty face darkened the moment she saw the girl. She pouted as if she had some grudge against her, glared, and sneered, "Oh, it's Wang Ning! What a coincidence, I can't believe I run into you anywhere!"

Wang Ning giggled and said, "Yes, what a coincidence!" Then, she glanced at Lin Yupeng beside Fan Qianqian, pointed at him with her slender hand, and asked with a smile, "Qianqian, who is this? Introduce him to me!"

"He's my boyfriend! Lin Yupeng, the vice president of Tianqiong Group!" Fan Qianqian blinked her bright eyes and introduced him to Wang Ning very readily.

Lin Yupeng was taken aback, thinking to himself, "Is this girl crazy? Who's your boyfriend?" He hurriedly tried to clarify, "Qianqian, I don't..." Chapter 732 Forced Matchmaking Lin Yupeng had only uttered two words when he suddenly felt a soft, delicate, and alluring body lean towards him. His arm was then grabbed by Fan Qianqian, followed by a sharp pain that interrupted his words. It turned out Fan

Qianqian had secretly pinched him. "What's this girl doing?" Lin Yupeng muttered to himself, annoyed, without saying anything more. "Oh, is he your boyfriend?" Wang Ning blinked her big eyes, glanced at Lin Yupeng a few times, and asked with a grin, "Mr. Lin, are you really her boyfriend? Don't tell me it's a forced matchmaking!" Lin Yupeng was displeased: "What does she mean by that? A forced matchmaking?" He caught a glimpse of Fan Qianqian's murderous gaze out of the corner of his eye, as if she would retaliate if he didn't admit he was her boyfriend. He immediately understood: "This really is a forced match!" He could only chuckle awkwardly and admit, "Yes, I'm Qianqian's boyfriend. It's nice to meet you!" Wang Ning smiled sweetly, intending to shake hands with Lin Yupeng, but seeing his hands full of bags, she lowered her raised arm and turned to Fan Qianqian, saying coquettishly, "Qianqian, we're leaving now, goodbye!" Fan Qianqian rolled her eyes at her, snorted coldly, and took Lin Yupeng's arm, walking away with a smug and disdainful expression on her pretty face. Once Wang Ning and her boyfriend were far away, Fan Qianqian quickly shook off Lin Yupeng's arm, two alluring blushes rising on her delicate cheeks. Lin Yupeng glanced at her and asked seriously, "Qianqian, I'm not your boyfriend at all. Why do you say that?" Fan Qianqian raised her eyes, rolled her eyes at him, and instead of answering, asked, "Lin Yupeng, what do you mean? Do you think you're at a disadvantage being my boyfriend? I'm the one who's at a disadvantage, you're the one who gets all the benefits!" Lin Yupeng smiled wryly, "This has nothing to do with whether you're at a disadvantage or not, right? I'm asking why you want me to pretend to be your boyfriend?" Fan Qianqian's pretty face hardened, and she said with resentment, "That Wang Ning is my classmate. That brat loves to ridicule me all the time, saying I'm unreasonable, have a strange temper, lack the gentle nature of a woman, and can't find a boyfriend!" Lin Yupeng chuckled and blurted out, "Then you should learn to be a little gentler, then men will chase after you!" Fan Qianqian raised her eyebrows, widened her small eyes, and said in a huffy, coquettish voice, "Who says women have to be gentle to be loved? The word 'gentle' wasn't created specifically for women. Why can't men be gentle? I just can't stand some people's chauvinism!" "This girl is a feminist!" "Muttering to himself, Lin Yupeng returned to the previous topic, saying, 'Qianqian, does this have anything to do with me pretending to be your boyfriend earlier?' Fan Qianqian raised her pretty face, which was flushed with a hint of pink, pouted her cherry lips, and said seriously, 'I asked you to temporarily pretend to be my boyfriend today so I could annoy her! Although you're a bit mischievous, you're not bad-looking, and you have some status. You're definitely much better than that boyfriend Wang Ningxin is hooking up with!' Lin Yupeng chuckled, thinking to himself, 'Have there been some praise in her last sentence?' Suddenly, a playful and teasing thought arose in his mind. His eyes lingered on Fan Qianqian, constantly circling her delicate face, her beautiful cherry lips, and her firm, shapely breasts. When Fan Qianqian saw his strange gaze, her pretty face flushed, and she said coquettishly, 'What mischievous idea are you plotting?' Lin Yupeng chuckled dryly and said, 'Qianqian, since I'm pretending to be your boyfriend, shouldn't I exercise the rights and obligations of a boyfriend?'"

Fan Qianqian's heart skipped a beat when she saw his mischievous grin. She suddenly remembered the time she accidentally fell into his arms at the bowling alley, and most embarrassingly, she'd even kissed him unintentionally. Her fair and delicate face flushed crimson. She bit her lip and playfully punched Lin Yupeng's chest, spitting out, "You big pervert, are you trying to take advantage of me again? Dream on!"

Then, she glanced at the package in Lin Yupeng's hands, a mischievous smile spreading across her face, and giggled, "Help me carry these things..." "I'm just fulfilling my duties as a boyfriend! Hehe!"

Lin Yupeng pretended to be aggrieved and said, "Qianqian, you misunderstood. What I meant was that I've been shopping with you for so long, and I'm parched. You should at least buy me a bottle of water, right?"

Fan Qianqian's small eyes darted around, and she smiled faintly, saying, "Alright then! Considering you helped me carry these things, I'll treat you to whatever you want to drink!"

Lin Yupeng smiled and said, "Just a bottle of mineral water will do. I'm easy to please!"

Fan Qianqian rolled her eyes at him and said coquettishly, "Who's going to please you? You're so annoying!"

"This girl never lets herself be taken advantage of!" Lin Yupeng thought to himself. Not long after, Fan Qianqian bought a bottle of mineral water and was about to hand it to Lin Yupeng when she saw that his hands were full of bags and packages. He didn't have time to take out a bottle of water, so she hesitated for a moment. Lin Yupeng seized

the opportunity and chuckled dryly, "Qianqian, look at my hands, they're full. How can I drink water? Why don't you feed me?" Then, his signature mischievous grin returned, and he said, "I wouldn't object to feeding you mouth-to-mouth!"

"You...you scoundrel...you shameless..." Fan Qianqian's eyes widened in anger, her rosy cheeks puffed out, and she swung the bottle of mineral water at Lin Yupeng.

Lin Yupeng couldn't resist teasing her; he found her angry expression incredibly charming, captivating and endlessly fascinating. He deftly dodged Fan Qianqian's "thunderous" attack, then straightened his face and said seriously, "Qianqian, stop fooling around! Be careful not to break the bottle and spill water on your clothes!" His words had an effect .

Fan Qianqian stopped throwing mineral water at him and instead rained blows at Lin Yupeng's chest with her small, delicate fists, as if tickling him . Lin Yupeng didn't seem to care, and they walked and joked their way out of the mall, looking like a young couple to outsiders.

Fan Qianqian's hands went weak from hitting him, so she stopped, opened the water bottle, and took a few big gulps.

Lin Yupeng asked with a smile, "Didn't you buy this for me? Why are you drinking it yourself?"

Fan Qianqian sneered, "You didn't behave well, so I won't give you any more drinks!" With that, she took the bags and packages from his hands and put them all in the car. Before Lin Yupeng could get in, she jumped into the driver's seat and grinned at him, "Lin Yupeng, you can take a taxi home yourself!"

Lin Yupeng said discontentedly, "Little girl, I accompanied you shopping, and you just left me here? Are you deliberately teasing me?"

Fan Qianqian chuckled, didn't answer, started the car, and drove away. Just as her car drove away, Xiang Kui's Audi pulled up behind and stopped steadily in front of Lin Yupeng.

Lin Yupeng chuckled, got into his Audi, and said to Xiang Kui, "Brother Xiang, catch up with that Chevrolet up ahead!" Xiang Kui's driving skills were far superior to Fan Qianqian's; he accelerated and caught up with Fan Qianqian's car in less than two minutes. Lin Yupeng waved to Fan Qianqian through the window and chuckled dryly, "Qianqian

, goodbye!" Fan Qianqian rolled down the window and retorted defiantly, "Hmph, Lin Yupeng, I didn't buy that dress you dirtied today. From now on, you have to go shopping with me every weekend until you buy it!" Lin Yupeng 's face fell; he thought to himself, "This girl's got me hooked." Then, a wicked smile appeared on his face: "Could it be that she has a crush on me?" The two cars parted ways at an intersection, as they were heading to the same destination: Lin Yupeng was returning to the Sky Dome Building, and Fan Qianqian was returning to the Fan Family Mansion. By the time Lin Yupeng arrived back at the Sky Dome Building, it was already past noon. After lunch, remembering his plan from the previous night, he immediately dialed Li Zhanbo's number: "Uncle Li, where is Chairman Jin?" Li Zhanbo replied, "Chairman Jin is visiting friends! Mr. Lin, is there something you need him for?" Lin Yupeng said, "Of course there is. When will he be back?" Li Zhanbo whispered, "Probably after 10 PM. I'll call you when he gets back! I'm with Chairman Jin right now!" Lin Yupeng grunted in response and hung up the phone . He then returned to his bedroom, opened his laptop, and saw that the monitor screen for "Little Flying Insect No. 3" was completely black, as it was stuck inside Gao Yi's headgear. He quickly manipulated it to fly out. The scene displayed on the screen was outdoors, at a golf course. Gao Yi was swinging a club, playing golf. He was accompanied by two elderly men of similar age, dressed in sportswear and wearing gold-rimmed glasses. They looked respectable and refined, but Lin Yupeng didn't recognize either of them. Gao Yi played golf all afternoon, chatting with the two old men beside him about trivial matters. Lin Yupeng hadn't managed to steal any valuable information. Remembering he still had to investigate He Shiwen's case at "Shuiyuntian" that evening, he put the Little Flying Insect No. 3 back into Gao Yi's hood, minimized the operating system, and left the bedroom. He first went to the revolving restaurant in the building for dinner, then took Xiang Kui and Leng Rui directly to the "Shuiyuntian" nightclub. Leng Rui and Xiang Kui's eyesight was no less than Lin Yupeng's; bringing them along would be a valuable help. When the three arrived at the "Shuiyuntian" nightclub, it was already six o'clock in the evening. The lights were just coming on, the neon signs were flashing, and it was the liveliest time at "Shuiyuntian," with a constant stream of customers coming and going. That evening at seven o'clock, there was a concert by "Shuiyuntian's" top star, Hua Meiyu. Lin Yupeng had been there three times already, so the male waiter at the door recognized him and even mistook him for one of Hua Meiyu's suitors, treating him with extra attentiveness. This was because all of Hua Meiyu's suitors were "money-burning kings" and also frequented "Shuiyuntian." The God of Wealth. Who wouldn't be respectful to the God of Wealth? Lin Yupeng paid three thousand yuan for the ticket, then another thousand yuan, asking the waiter to find him a good spot. As the saying goes, "Money makes the world go round," and the waiter led Lin Yupeng and his companions to a rectangular table below the stage, behind which was a leather sofa that could seat three people. Actually, these seats were reserved for those who could afford to pay. After Lin Yupeng sat down, the waiter withdrew, and a beautiful waitress from the dance hall jogged over, sweetly asking, "Sir, what would you like? We have all sorts of side dishes, desserts, fruit platters, wine, and drinks." Lin Yupeng knew the rules here, smiled faintly, and said, "Hehe, then pick out the best things and bring them up, fill up the tables in front!" "Okay, please wait a moment!" The beautiful waitress smiled sweetly and turned to leave gracefully, like a lotus leaf swaying in the wind. A short while later, three or four beautiful waitresses brought out fruit platters, desserts, side dishes, various wines and drinks, filling the table. Then the waitress returned with a smile and asked sweetly, "Sir, would you like a lady?" Lin Yupeng smiled and nodded. He had come specifically for the "lady" today; without finding her, he wouldn't know if He Wenshi was here. A short while later, a glamorous young woman, dressed flamboyantly, walked over and sat down beside Lin Yupeng.

She wore a fiery red, deep-V, semi-transparent blouse, subtly revealing a pair of full, jade-like breasts covered by a pink bra. Below, she wore a deep red mini-skirt, beneath which were a pair of long, slender, and fair legs, smooth and delicate, encased in sheer, flesh-colored stockings. On her feet were silver-white strappy sandals.

The women at "Shuiyuntian" were all exceptionally beautiful; any one of them was a beauty among beauties. The woman beside Lin Yupeng was no exception. She had exquisitely drawn eyebrows, a delicate nose, sensual red lips, and a charming face. Her entire being was fiery and passionate, and her name, Honghong, was related to fire—a common name.

As soon as Honghong sat on the sofa, she clung to Lin Yupeng like a leech, pouring him wine and offering him fruit, appearing extremely attentive.

Now, taking advantage of the fact that Hua Meiyu hadn't yet performed on stage, Lin Yupeng chatted with Honghong, hoping to elicit information from her.

"Honghong, how long have you been working at Shuiyuntian?" Lin Yupeng asked casually.

"More than two years! I'm considered a veteran employee, hehe!" Honghong replied sweetly, her beautiful eyes sparkling.

Lin Yupeng knew that in entertainment venues like this, the turnover rate of girls was very high; it was rare to find someone who stayed in one place for more than two years.

He stared intently at Honghong and continued, "Is Shuiyuntian considered the best nightclub in Beijing?"

Honghong's pretty face lit up with pride, and she giggled as she replied, "I wouldn't dare say it's the best, but it's definitely among the top few. The benefits here are good; otherwise, I wouldn't be able to stay here long-term."

Lin Yupeng chuckled, his voice tinged with envy, "I've been here three times and I'm hooked! Hehe, your boss must be very capable, right? What's his name? I really want to meet him, but I don't know if he'd be willing to grace us with his presence!"

A strange glint flashed across Honghong's pretty face as she glanced at Lin Yupeng, then said timidly, "Big brother, I'm sorry! We have a rule here: you can't reveal the boss's name, or you'll be fired!"

(

Chapter 734: Another Beauty -

Lin Yupeng) A glint flashed in his eyes, and he muttered to himself, "So mysterious? Looks like I'll have to use my robot to sneak into Shuiyuntian at night sometime... Sigh, Little Flying Insect No. 3 is with Gao Yi right now, and I only have one robot at hand. Even if I had another, I couldn't operate two at the same time. Looks like I'll have to run between two places!"

Seeing Lin Yupeng's face darken, Honghong assumed he was dissatisfied with Shuiyuntian's rules, but she couldn't say anything. She poured him a glass of wine and said in a clear voice, "Big brother, would you like a drink?"

Lin Yupeng picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp. At this moment, Honghong began to use her seductive skills, snuggling into his arms like a Persian cat. Her lips were slightly parted, exhaling fragrance, and her beautiful mouth flowed with seductive waves. She kept rubbing her full and firm breasts against Lin Yupeng's arm and said in a coquettish voice, "Big brother, will you take me out tonight?"

Lin Yupeng chuckled and didn't answer. His eyes were fixed on the stage in front of him, and he thought to himself, "This woman wants to go out with him?" "Hehe, too bad I didn't fancy you!"

This was his inner monologue, though he didn't say it aloud. Honghong, thinking he was contemplating a suitable price, giggled and whispered in Lin Yupeng's ear, "Big brother, just five hundred yuan, and I'll be yours tonight, full service, guaranteed to satisfy you."

Honghong's breath was sweet and fragrant, making Lin Yupeng's ear tingle. He glanced at her, smiled wickedly, and said, "Okay, then come with me after the concert!"

Upon hearing this, a lewd smile immediately appeared on Honghong's pretty face. She thought to herself, "I have to make the best of it tonight. This guy seems like a rich man; I'll rip him off. Five hundred yuan is just the bottom line; I'll try to make it ten or eight times!"

Lin Yupeng remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he sneered, "Five hundred yuan a night for someone like you? Heh heh, I've never spent money on women; they all come to me!" " Let me keep you calm for now and try to get more information out of you!"

Both harbored their own secrets, remaining silent for a while. After a long pause, Lin Yupeng finally got to the point, a wicked smile on his face as he asked, "Honghong, do you have a girl named Wenwen here? Is her real name He Wenwen?"

Honghong was taken aback, her beautiful face showing surprise. She whispered, "I don't know. There are too many girls here. Anyway, none of the girls I know are named He Wenwen. Why are you asking this, brother?" She then glanced at Lin Yupeng with a flirtatious look in her eyes. Seeing his tall and muscular physique, her heart skipped a beat. She thought to herself, "This guy isn't planning on hiring another girl for a threesome, is he?"

Actually, Lin Yupeng wanted her to misunderstand that he wanted a threesome, so he chuckled dryly and replied, "A friend once told me about a girl here named Wenwen. She's beautiful and good in bed. I'd like to see her!" "Honghong, you really don't know Wenwen? Let's call her out together tonight, I'll pay double!"

Honghong gently shook her head and said quietly, "Brother, we have too many girls here, and they're all in different places, so we rarely interact. Maybe what you're saying is true, but there's no one named Wenwen in my dance hall."

Lin Yupeng said regretfully, "Then I'll have to ask somewhere else!" But in his heart, he thought, "Could it be that He Wenwen really isn't in Shuiyuntian? Or is she in Shuiyuntian, but has changed her name?" "Thinking about it carefully, what Honghong said earlier makes sense. He Wen might be in other entertainment venues at Shuiyuntian, such as bars, cafes, massage parlors, bathhouses, card rooms, etc."

Lin Yupeng and Honghong chatted idly for a while, and time passed quickly. At 7:00 PM sharp, Hua Meiyu's solo concert began. A corner of the curtain behind the stage opened, and a young girl in a red cheongsam emerged. She had delicate features, bright eyes, and a sweet smile. Lin Yupeng recognized her as the female host from the last concert.

The beautiful host walked slowly onto the stage, adjusted the microphone, and then announced loudly: "Distinguished guests, Ms. Hua Meiyu's concert is about to begin! Today, she will be presenting a collection of nostalgic love songs, all from the Republican era, a total of ten songs—the first song, 'The Wandering Songstress'; the second song, 'Waiting for You to Come Back'; the third song, 'Those Who Cry Don't Necessarily Shed Tears'..."

Lin Yupeng chuckled to himself: "Why are Hua Meiyu's concert songs getting older and older?" "The last time was at least twenty or thirty years ago, but today it's jumped straight to the Republic of China era!"

The infatuated men in the audience who were pursuing Hua Meiyu didn't really care what songs she sang. Even if she didn't sing a single word, just standing on the stage would elicit enthusiastic applause from them—that's the charm of a big star.

Lin Yupeng's eyes swept across the dance hall, and he suddenly noticed a handsome man in his mid-twenties sitting behind a round table in the northeast corner. His features were sharply defined, with long, narrow, almond-shaped eyes beneath his sword-like eyebrows, radiating a warm, gentle light. Behind him stood... Four bodyguards were present.

Lin Yupeng recognized the man as Pei Zhenghao, the president of Weiye Group, one of the "Three Young Masters of Beijing

." Yesterday, he learned from Gao Mansion that Weiye Group was strongly supporting Gao Yi's presidential campaign, which meant they were on the opposite side of Tianqiong Group. Now, Pei Zhenghao could be considered Lin Yupeng's enemy. Lin Yupeng glanced at the imposing and powerful Pei Zhenghao and sneered to himself, "This guy is quite persistent. He's really Shuiyuntian's big money god. Every time he comes, he throws in fifty or sixty thousand."

At this moment, the female host finished her introduction and immediately withdrew. Tonight's leading lady, Miss Hua Meiyu, made a dazzling appearance. Although Lin Yupeng had seen her once before, her stunning beauty and elegant and noble temperament still made his heart flutter.

All the lights in the dance hall shone on her. She was wearing a purple evening gown, perfectly tailored, showcasing her alluring curves. Her large, full, peach-shaped breasts, slender waist, and rounded, upturned buttocks formed a beautiful arc that was truly mesmerizing! Her clear, autumn-water-like lips rippled with a gentle, charming allure, perfectly complementing her fair, delicate face and the intoxicating smile that graced her face—enough to captivate and enchant.

The audience was silent for a full half-minute, probably as all the men marveled at her beauty, before erupting in enthusiastic applause. Chapter 735: The Beauty's Favor

On stage, Hua Meiyu's words were as usual: "Thank you all for attending my concert!" But her melodious, sweet, and captivating voice brought a sense of comfort to everyone present. As the music began, Hua Meiyu parted her lips and began to sing. Her beautiful voice was undeniable. Lin Yupeng wasn't primarily there to listen to the music; his eyes darted around, trying to spot He Wenwen among the women coming and going in the nightclub. He'd seen her picture; unless she'd had plastic surgery, he could recognize her immediately. To his disappointment, he couldn't find her. This was expected, though, as finding someone was never easy. After Hua Meiyu finished her song, the infatuated men began presenting her with flowers. Lin Yupeng calculated that he'd only spent a little over five thousand yuan; he needed to spend another five thousand to reach the minimum spending requirement at Shuiyuntian. So he called a waiter and ordered fifty violets to give to Hua Meiyu, wishing her good health and all the best. A short while later, the waiter presented the flowers to Hua Meiyu, announcing loudly, "Mr. Lin Yupeng presents fifty violets to Miss Hua Meiyu, wishing her good health and all the best!" As soon as these words were spoken, some men in the audience sneered mockingly, secretly laughing at Lin Yupeng's pale and commonplace blessing. How could it possibly move Hua Meiyu? Those ornate, almost gilded words couldn't touch her! After accepting the bouquet of violets, Hua Meiyu glanced at Lin Yupeng with her beautiful, limpid eyes, a sweet smile blooming on her exquisite lips—she was breathtakingly beautiful! As noble and elegant as a peony, as light and graceful as a lily, as charming and shy as a crabapple, she was intoxicating. Any normal man would be captivated by her stunning smile. Lin Yupeng, a normal man, even an extraordinary one, was naturally mesmerized by her smile. Fortunately, he was prepared and remained clear-headed, nodding with a smile. At this moment, Pei Zhenghao also ordered flowers from the waiter—fifty red roses. After accepting his flowers, Hua Meiyu continued singing, and the concert continued in a lively atmosphere. Lin Yupeng only presented flowers once; after reaching the minimum spend of 10,000 yuan, he stopped. He wasn't here to pursue Hua Meiyu; he hadn't managed to win over so many wealthy and powerful men, and he didn't want to waste his time on this. The Tianqiong Group was currently in a precarious situation and needed to turn things around. So he continued chatting with Honghong beside him. This woman really thought Lin Yupeng was going to seduce her that night. He barely glanced at the stunningly beautiful Hua Meiyu on stage. Honghong even thought to herself, "Am I more charming than Hua Meiyu?" The more she thought about it, the happier she became. She revealed everything about "Shuiyuntian," including things she shouldn't have, but of course, she remained tight-lipped about who the boss was. When Hua Meiyu finished her last song, thunderous applause erupted from the audience, and people eagerly presented her with flowers. Pei Zhenghao even bought a hundred purple tulips to present to her. Lin Yupeng didn't present any flowers and continued chatting with Honghong. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and a delicate yet very pleasant perfume wafted over. There was tonight's leading lady, Miss Hua Meiyu, gracefully walking towards him! Lin Yupeng glanced to both sides, inwardly surprised, "Is she coming for me?" Just as he was pondering this, Hua Meiyu approached him. Her beautiful fragrance wafted into his nostrils, causing his heart to flutter. Hua Meiyu was wearing CKISS Elegance perfume, a delicate blend of oriental floral scents—water lilies, magnolias, white peonies, sweet peas, wisteria, daffodils, and white roses—a fragrance that made every cell and pore feel refreshed, like drinking fine wine, intoxicating the soul. "Mr. Lin, hello! Thank you for the flowers!" Hua Meiyu gazed at Lin Yupeng with a sweet, captivating smile. Then, she extended her slender hand from beneath the white veil of her evening gown. Her hand was snow-white and translucent, like a spring onion, painted with bright pink nail polish, making her appear charming and alluring, every pore exquisitely beautiful. Lin Yupeng was captivated by her stunning smile, his gaze lingering for a moment. He quickly stood up, smiling as he shook Hua Meiyu's hand. Her hand was soft, smooth, and delicate, like fresh tofu pudding, boneless and incredibly comfortable to hold. However, he didn't intend to take advantage of her; he only held her hand for three seconds before quickly withdrawing it, laughing heartily, "Miss Hua, you're welcome! You sang beautifully!" This wasn't flattery, but genuine. Hua Meiyu smiled sweetly, her beautiful eyes glancing at Lin Yupeng with a soft, alluring look. She parted her lips slightly and said sweetly, "Thank you! Goodbye!" After uttering these four beautiful notes, she left the stage accompanied by a waiter. A commotion and gasps of surprise erupted in the hall. The infatuated men, seeing Hua Meiyu actually speak and shake hands with Lin Yupeng, were filled with envy. They had sent her flowers countless times without ever getting a chance to speak to her. Lin Yupeng, a complete stranger, had won Hua Meiyu's favor—how could they not be consumed by jealousy? Some were already drooling, while others privately complained, "What's wrong with Miss Hua? What do I lack compared to that guy?" Lin Yupeng himself was also surprised. There were many talented people here, some even stronger than him in every way. Why was Hua Meiyu speaking and shaking hands with him? The lingering fragrance of Hua Meiyu's delicate hands still lingered on his hands, a lovely scent that made his heart flutter. Lin Yupeng barely managed to suppress his chaotic emotions. He glanced at Pei Zhenghao, who wasn't too far away, and saw a clear look of jealousy and resentment in Pei's eyes. Lin Yupeng was already his enemy in business, and today he had become his rival in love. It was like adding insult to injury, turning them into mortal enemies. "Brother, I think that kid is getting too cocky. Should we find a chance to teach him a lesson?" One of Pei Zhenghao's bodyguards leaned closer to him, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, and asked in a low voice. Pei Zhenghao glared at him, shook his head slightly, and then waved for him to step aside. His eyes narrowed into slits, flashing with a sharp light as he glanced sideways at Lin Yupeng. A sinister sneer crept across his angular lips... Chapter 736 Attending the Wedding Banquet No matter how much Pei Zhenghao hated Lin Yupeng, he dared not make a rash move against him. First, he had to consider his own status. Besides, Lin Yupeng was not someone to be trifled with. Just look at the two bodyguards behind him—one tall and imposing, the other cold and sinister—neither of them were easy to deal with! Although Pei Zhenghao and Lin Yupeng had only met twice, he had heard of Lin Yupeng's name. Everyone said he was an extremely difficult opponent. Although Pei Zhenghao was inherently arrogant, disdainful of everyone, and looked down on everyone, he wouldn't be arrogant blindly. This meant that he despised Lin Yupeng strategically but took him seriously tactically—this was Pei Zhenghao's consistent principle.

Hua Meiyu's concert ended, and people left in droves. The night was beautiful, and everyone was looking for their own comfort.

Lin Yupeng was just settling his bill when his phone rang. It was Li Zhanbo, who only said one sentence: "Mr. Lin, Chairman Jin is back!"

"Okay, I'll be right back!" With that, Lin Yupeng hung up, called a waiter to settle the bill for the night, which came to 1,100 yuan. Then he stood up to leave the nightclub.

At this moment, Honghong, the hostess who had been with him, saw that Lin Yupeng didn't intend to take her away. Her face showed surprise, and she asked in a sweet voice, "Sir, didn't you want to..." Although she didn't finish her sentence, she knew Lin Yupeng would understand. Hadn't they agreed to go to a hotel?

Lin Yupeng chuckled and said apologetically, "Honghong, I'm sorry! I just got a call, and there's an emergency at home. Let's reschedule!"

With that, he turned and left the nightclub with Xiang Kui and Leng Rui without looking back. Honghong stared blankly at Lin Yupeng's retreating figure, a feeling of being deceived rising in her heart. Recalling the scene of Hua Meiyu talking and shaking hands with Lin Yupeng earlier, her pretty face showed resentment, and she muttered, "This kid doesn't actually think Hua Meiyu is interested in him, does he? Humph, daydreaming!"

Honghong was full of complaints. She had wasted so much time and effort, but still hadn't gotten on stage, only earning a hundred yuan in service fees.

After returning to the Sky Dome Building, Lin Yupeng immediately went to the presidential suite 5001 where Jin Tai was staying on the top floor. After pushing open the door, he saw Jin Tai sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed, resting. On the table was a pot of fine Da Hong Pao tea, its aroma refreshing and pleasant.

"Yupeng, you're back!" Jin Tai slowly opened his eyes, a cold glint flashing in them, and stared at Lin Yupeng with a smile.

"Hmm!" Lin Yupeng didn't wait for him to offer him a seat, but leaned over and sat on the sofa opposite him, getting straight to the point: "Godfather, I have something urgent to discuss with you! Could you arrange for me to meet with the candidate we support? Because of the current situation, we must maintain close contact with him. I've gathered reliable intelligence that Gao Yi and Weiye Group have joined forces, posing a great threat to us. I need to meet with him to discuss countermeasures!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Tai's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he pondered for a moment, then said solemnly: "Yupeng, I can arrange for you to meet. Although the timing isn't as ripe as I imagined, considering the rapidly changing situation, you and he should indeed maintain constant contact. After all, I'll be completely handing over power to you after the Spring Festival!"

Lin Yupeng smiled slightly and asked eagerly: "When should I meet with him?"

Jin Tai's eyes flashed sharply, and he said in a deep voice: "You have to attend Gao Ya's wedding ceremony tomorrow during the day, so let's set it for tomorrow night! I'll have Captain Li inform you then!"

Lin Yupeng nodded, his anger rising as he recalled Qiao Fenny's lost ledger, but he couldn't vent it or tell Jin Tai the whole story. So he probed indirectly, "Godfather, are those clandestine deals our group is doing still going on?" Although

he spoke vaguely, Jin Tai understood his meaning: "cuckolded deals" referred to illegal activities. Jin Tai sized Lin Yupeng up and down, replying seriously, "They've all stopped. All of Tianqiong Group's business now is aboveboard and protected by national law. Don't worry!"

Lin Yupeng chuckled, offering no response, thinking to himself, "Even if those businesses have stopped, the aftereffects are still damn annoying! The special investigation team hasn't left yet, and now there's this ledger leaked outside—it's like trying to hold down a gourd only to have another one pop up!" Frustrated ,

Lin Yupeng and Jin Tai stopped talking. Lin Yupeng got up to say goodbye and returned to his presidential suite. He opened his laptop, accessed the special robot's operating system, and retrieved the surveillance data on Gao Yi for the day. He found no valuable information. It was already past 10 PM. Gao Yi hadn't received any guests that night, so he had gone to bed early and was now snoring loudly in his bedroom.

Lin Yupeng piloted Little Flying Insect No. 3 to wander around Gao's mansion. His purposes were twofold: first, to familiarize himself with the layout for long-term surveillance; and second, to search for any other noteworthy information. After spending most of the night, he had only successfully completed the task of familiarizing himself with the layout. The second objective was largely unfulfilled. Almost everyone in Gao's mansion was asleep, with only the armed police patrolling the area.

Lin Yupeng knew that this kind of surveillance wouldn't yield reliable information at all times, so he piloted Little Flying Insect No. 3... The device returned to Gao Yi's bedroom, crawled into his hood, and continued monitoring. Then he lay down on the bed and took a nap.

At seven in the morning, Lin Yupeng got up, took a shower, and then went downstairs to the revolving restaurant for breakfast, preparing to attend the wedding ceremony of Gao Yi's son, Gao Ya, and to meet the Gao family.

Just after 9:30 a.m., Lin Yupeng, along with Xiang Kui and Leng Rui, left the Sky Dome Building and drove straight to the Gao Mansion at No. 1 Huashan Road, Nancheng District, Yanjing City.

The car had just reached Huashan Road... The entire street was under lockdown, with only buses allowed to pass. Private cars were to be detoured because the massive wedding procession from the Gao family would arrive at the Gao mansion on Huashan Road at 10:00 AM. Vehicles belonging to guests attending Gao Ya's wedding ceremony needed to present their wedding invitations to enter Huashan Road.

After reviewing Lin Yupeng's invitation, the traffic police waved him off, pointed in the direction of the Gao mansion, and let him pass. Lin Yupeng thought to himself with a cold smile, "Quite the pomp!

Looks like Gao Yi knows how to use his privileges!" "

The Constitution stipulates that national leaders can have such privileges. Gao Yi's actions are not illegal. It can be said that everything he does is within the bounds of the law, even if it's his son Gao Ya using the wedding to amass wealth.

Chapter 737 One Against Two Hundred

and Fifty

The guests attending Gao Ya's wedding were all there in their private capacities. In Eastern culture, giving gifts at weddings and funerals is very normal. There are no provisions in the laws of the country that prohibit such behavior. The only objection is that Gao Ya gets married too frequently, more than ten times a year, but they are all legally married and divorced, so no one can say anything wrong with it. When

Lin Yupeng's car arrived at the entrance of the Gao mansion, the traffic jam was immediately resolved. After ten minutes, the Gao family's red-clad greeters led them into the parking lot.

Lin Yupeng, Xiang Kui, and Leng Rui got out of the car and, guided by a greeter, went directly into the banquet hall!

There they saw..." The guests who came to offer their congratulations were all impeccably dressed in suits, exuding an air of grandeur. They were either big bosses or high-ranking government officials, each accompanied by secretaries and bodyguards. Like father, like son; Gao Yi was certainly extravagant, and his friends had naturally picked up these habits.

At the entrance of the banquet hall, a rectangular table was set up specifically for collecting monetary gifts. Guests lined up, handing over their money one by one. Lin Yupeng glanced at the table; the lowest was a thousand, and the highest was... There's no upper limit; some give five thousand, some ten thousand, some twenty thousand, some thirty thousand. The more money

they give, the more eager they are to curry favor with Gao Yi and his son. Even more interestingly, some people, for good luck, don't give round numbers. For example, some give 6,000 yuan and 66 fen, using six "6s" for good fortune and smooth sailing! Others give 8,888 yuan and 88 fen, six "8s" for continuous prosperity!

Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed with a sudden light, and he thought to himself, "How much should I give? I really need to think this through!"

He knew it wasn't his turn to give a gift yet, so he had some time to consider. But the more Lin Yupeng thought about it, the angrier he became. He couldn't stand this injustice. He thought to himself, "That Gao Ya kid is too arrogant! I have to teach him a lesson today! Anyway, I'm bound to fall out with the Gao family in the future. I might as well provoke them a little and see their reaction. I have little flying insects to monitor them; I'm not afraid of them causing trouble!" "

Thinking of this, it was his turn. Lin Yupeng turned to Xiang Kui behind him and said, "Give me five hundred yuan!

There's a deeper meaning to his five hundred yuan gift. Five hundred yuan equals a pair of 'two hundred and fifty,' and everyone knows what 'two hundred and fifty' means in Eastern culture—it means 'fool,' a veiled insult that the Gao family father and son are a pair of 'two hundred and fifty.'"

Xiang Kui nodded, opened the briefcase in his hand, which was full of more than four hundred thousand yuan. He reached out and took out a bundle of money, pulled out five bills, and slapped them onto the gift-receiving counter.

The staff member in charge of receiving and recording the gifts at the Gao mansion immediately showed a look of astonishment. Five hundred yuan was a significant sum for today... He accepted the smallest amount of money among the gifts, but since Gao Yi and his son hadn't set a minimum, five hundred yuan was still money. He hurriedly asked Lin Yupeng's name and wrote it down.

What angered him most was that Lin Yupeng himself carried hundreds of thousands of yuan, yet deliberately accepted such a small amount, as if he were humiliating the Gao family.

Lin Yupeng gave the "accountant" a cold smile, and strode confidently into the banquet hall with Xiang Kui and Leng Rui. The entire banquet hall was lavishly decorated. At the front was a wedding table, with seventy or eighty tables set up below, all covered with red cloth. The floor was covered with a scarlet carpet, and colorful balloons and confetti, even the waitresses' suits were decorated with them. The entire place was decorated in festive and auspicious red, practically a sea of red.

Lin Yupeng casually found a seat and sat down, his eyes gleaming as he glanced around. He noticed the table was already about 70% full, including his own table, where four or five well-dressed men sat, all silent and playing the deep, serious game.

Gao Yi sat at the front row of the wedding table, surrounded by his colleagues and subordinates, including Guan Jiyao, and his wife, Zhu Yan.

Today, Zhu Yan was dressed casually, her attire simple and understated, unlike the glamorous and alluring look he had seen on the previous two occasions. However, her captivating almond-shaped eyes, with their subtle, alluring charm, often drew admiring glances from men.

At such a wedding celebration, women were mindful of their attire; they couldn't be too flashy or attention-grabbing, as the focus was on the bride and groom.

At precisely 10:00 AM, after a burst of loud firecrackers, the wedding procession entered the Gao mansion. The groom, Gao Ya, and the bride, Cheng Jing, accompanied by their bridesmaids, groomsmen, and relatives, walked hand-in-hand into the banquet hall.

Colorful flowers and ribbons danced like snowflakes, mingling with the cheers of the guests, instantly bringing the wedding atmosphere to its peak. Almost everyone stood up and applauded to welcome the bride and groom.

Lin Yupeng didn't want to stand up, but everyone around him was standing, blocking his view. He also wanted to see what the most arrogant of the legendary "Three Young Masters of Beijing," "Gao Yanei," was like, so he stood up as well. Too lazy to applaud, his eyes shot out two sharp, cold beams of electricity as he stared directly at the groom, Gao Ya.

Gao Ya was wearing a sharp suit and tie, and was rather overweight. He had been pampered since childhood, never lacking food or drink, so his plumpness was normal. Moreover, this guy took good care of himself; his skin was shiny and smooth. Comparable to a woman, his small, triangular eyes gleamed with a sharp light, narrowing into slits when he smiled. His left eye was lecherous, his right eye wanton, and his face was smug, exuding an air of arrogant superiority. He really did bear a resemblance to Gao Yanei from *Water Margin*, no wonder he was given such a nickname!

Looking at Gao Ya's bride, Cheng Jing, beside him, Lin Yupeng sighed, a look of regret on his face. She wore a white wedding dress, youthful, beautiful, and charming. Could a woman chosen by Gao Ya, this "devil among flowers, lustful devil," be ugly?

Lin Yupeng was very good at reading people; he noticed that the bride, Cheng Jing... She forced a smile the whole time, a hint of melancholy lurking in her eyes and brows. This was perfectly normal; any woman marrying into the Gao family would be nervous, especially with Gao Ya getting married more than ten times a year. She might even be divorced by him next month!

After a round of cheers and applause, Gao Ya and Cheng Jing's wedding ceremony began in a lively atmosphere. Lin Yupeng sat in his seat, quietly watching the ceremony proceed methodically. Hosted by a seasoned emcee, the emcee was witty and humorous, his words laced with flattery, practically praising the Gao father and son to the

skies. The groom, Gao Ya, was practically drooling with pride.

Chapter 738

Thorough Consideration

Gao Ya truly wished he could return to ancient times and be an emperor, with three thousand concubines in his harem, a groom every day, and a wedding night every night. Standing on the city wall, he could see every family had a mother-in-law. But times were different now. Marrying eleven or twelve times a year was the limit. If the paperwork wasn't done properly, he'd be charged with bigamy, which was no joke.

Of course, frequent marriages inevitably had their annoyances, not with the women, but with the procedures and ceremonies. Gao Ya was eager to enter the bridal chamber, and this eagerness even showed in his words. When the master of ceremonies asked him, "What's the one thing you want to say right now?"

Gao Ya chuckled and said, "I just want to enter the bridal chamber as soon as possible!" This was the truth, but it was somewhat commonplace, not quite the kind of thing a high-ranking official's son would say. Gao Yi, sitting in front, turned grim.

Fortunately, the master of ceremonies was experienced and quick-witted, and immediately laughed and said, "The groom is an honest man, speaking the truth. Let's all applaud the groom's honesty!" "

Immediately afterwards, some sycophantic guests began to applaud, conveniently covering up the previous embarrassment.

Lin Yupeng sat there coldly watching this farce, secretly sneering to himself: 'Gao Ya, what's your hurry? I dare say that bride is no longer a virgin, she's probably been with several men!'

He used to teach human anatomy and physiology in school, so his sharp eyes could tell at a glance whether someone was a virgin or not.

The last part of the wedding ceremony was the banquet, where everyone ate and drank. Lin Yupeng didn't even touch his chopsticks, his eyes gleaming as he constantly scanned the guests, spotting a few familiar faces. Pei Zhenghao, the president of Weiye Group, was among them, sitting at Gao Yi's table. Beside him sat a sprightly old man nearing sixty, the two appearing very close, suggesting a very special relationship."

Lin Yupeng thought to himself, "Could this person be Pei Rongzhe, chairman of Weiye Group?" He then scanned the others at Gao Yi's table. Besides Guan Jiyao and his wife, there were five or six other people. Although he didn't recognize them, he memorized their faces. Anyone who could sit at the same table as Gao Yi must be one of his close confidants.

The banquet officially ended after 2 PM, and the guests gradually left. Lin Yupeng took a car back to the presidential suite on the top floor of the Sky Dome Building.

Last night, Jin Tai promised to take him to meet the presidential candidate supported by the Sky Dome Group tonight. Lin Yupeng felt a surge of joy; this was the only thing worth being happy about recently. Suddenly, he remembered that a week had passed since he arrived in Yanjing City. He wondered how things were going in Tianhan City, so he used the rest of the afternoon to make phone calls.

The first call was to Xing Zhijian, the current president of Xingguang Group. He learned that the group's operations were running smoothly recently, and the new film "Snowflake Love" had finished filming and was in the midst of intensive post-production. It was expected to be released after the Spring Festival next year. The publicity work was going well; more than ten television stations in China wanted to broadcast the film, and the competition for the first broadcast rights was fierce.

The second call was directly to Tao Haiping, the mayor of Tianhan City, to inquire about the situation. Tao Haiping told him that the "investigation team" of Yuli Group had been withdrawn, and Yuli Group had completely collapsed. Its assets had been confiscated and were prepared for auction to repay the huge loans Yuli Group owed to banks. However, Yuli Group's president, Qiao Jiahuang, had been missing, and the authorities suspected he had absconded to avoid punishment.

Lin Yupeng, of course, knew why Qiao Jiahuang had "disappeared," and secretly sneered, "Qiao Jiahuang has absconded to avoid punishment and is hiding in the underworld!"

The third call he made was to Yin Shaoliang, the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. His feedback was essentially the same as Tao Haiping's: the "investigation team" had withdrawn, and the surveillance on him had been lifted. The sword hanging over his head had suddenly disappeared, bringing him immense relief. However, Yin Shaoliang, with years of experience in criminal investigation, knew this matter was far from over.

Lin Yupeng suddenly remembered the case of Wei Tie's robbery and murder, which seemed to have been suppressed. He hurriedly asked in a low voice, "Brother Yin, what's the status of Wei Tie's case?"

Yin Shaoliang replied, "You mean the case of Wei Tie being robbed and murdered by a group of masked men on Tiannan Highway?"

Lin Yupeng said coldly, "Yes. Who is in charge of investigating this case now?"

Yin Shaoliang answered truthfully, "It's strange. Logically, such a major case involving suspected assault on police should have attracted sufficient attention from the provincial department. However, this case was treated as a regular public security case and handed over to the Songyang County Public Security Bureau's Public Security Section!"

Lin Yupeng was both surprised and delighted. How many police officers did a county have? How much investigative power could the Public Security Section possibly have? Anyway, no police officers died in the line of duty because of this case, so it seemed like there wasn't much of a problem. His risky gamble had succeeded again, but a question lingered in his mind: "Who exactly helped me behind the scenes?"

After hanging up with Yin Shaoliang, he started making some personal calls. First, he called his fiancée, Chen Lihan, to let her know he was safe. Although Chen Lihan missed him, she was understanding, gentle, and virtuous, never putting pressure on Lin Yupeng. She simply told him to be careful and take care of himself, which warmed his heart.

After finishing his call with Chen Lihan, Lin Yupeng called his three women in Tianhan City: Ruan Yihong, Tang Rui, and Xiao Tao. Having so many women was quite a hassle; he had to be attentive to each one!

Ruan Yihong has been quite busy lately, handling cases. Coincidentally, her case is related to Lin Yupeng—it's about tracking down Tan Shiquan and Qiao Jiahuang, following the logic of them fleeing from justice. Secretary Tan of the Provincial Party Committee is pursuing them closely, since it's his nephew who has disappeared.

Tang Rui has been studying and her attitude towards Lin Yupeng has improved a lot compared to before. Yao Xiaotao is preparing for her next film; she's a career-oriented woman.

Finally, he called Jinsha Island, which is far overseas. Calling there to find someone was indeed troublesome. First, he had to call the external liaison office on Jinsha Island to have the staff there find Director Yao Bixuan. Lin Yupeng chatted with Yao Bixuan for a while—after all, she was one of his women—and then he had Yao Bixuan call Fang Na, Tai Xue, and Xiao Ru over as well. After all that back and forth, an hour had passed.

Over the phone, Lin Yupeng let Fang Na, Tai Xue, and Xiao Ru know he was safe. They were all doing well on Golden Shark Island, where the scenery was beautiful, food and drink were plentiful, like paradise on earth. They just missed him terribly. Lin Yupeng promised to come back to see them when he had time and chatted with them for over an hour before hanging up. Chapter 739

Secret Meeting with the Candidate It was already past 5 p.m. when the landline in the bedroom rang. Lin Yupeng answered it casually, and Li Zhanbo's voice came from the other end: "President Lin, you're going to meet an important friend with Chairman Jin tonight. Let's leave now. Dinner is there!" Lin Yupeng responded. He was just eager to see the mysterious candidate; whether or not he ate dinner was a minor matter. As long as he could see him, he was willing to go hungry. He quickly dressed, left the presidential suite, and met up with Jin Tai and Li Zhanbo. Together with Xiang Kui, the four of them got into Jin Tai's Hongqi sedan. After about half an hour's drive, they arrived at a residential complex called "Jinxiu Liangyuan" in the southern district of Yanjing City. The complex consisted entirely of large apartments, each at least 100 square meters, some even with two floors – clearly built for high-end consumers. Lin Yupeng followed Jin Tai and Li Zhanbo to one of the apartments. Li Zhanbo gently knocked on the door, and after a moment, the door opened, revealing a young nanny in her early twenties. Because Jin Tai and Li Zhanbo frequented the complex, the nanny was familiar with them. As for Lin Yupeng and Xiang Kui behind them, she immediately assumed they were Jin Tai's followers. Lin Yupeng stepped inside, his eyes gleaming. He looked around; it was a large two-story apartment. The first floor contained a living room, kitchen, and dining room, while the second floor housed bedrooms and a study. The nanny called out upstairs, "Principal Du, Chairman Jin from Tianqiong Group is here!" A short while later, a man descended the stairs. He was about forty-eight or forty-nine years old, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, with a tall, imposing figure, a bronze complexion, and sharply defined, deep-set features. His eyes were bright and deep, his lips gleaming, and he exuded confidence. It was clear he must have been a handsome man in his youth, and even now, in his later years, he possessed a refined and mature charm, radiating an aura of righteousness and domineering authority that commanded respect. "Brother Jin, Captain Li, hello!" The handsome middle-aged man strode up to Jin Tai and Li Zhanbo, warmly shaking their hands. Hearing the clear, deep, and melodious voice, Lin Yupeng's heart skipped a beat. He recognized the voice instantly; it often echoed in his ears. Remembering the nanny calling him "Principal Du," he was astonished. His eyes fixed on Principal Du, he blurted out, "You...you're Teacher Du? The Teacher Du who taught me politics on Golden Shark Island, right?" Although he had been "behind the scenes" for the past two days and hadn't seen the mysterious Teacher Du in person, based on his voice, Lin Yupeng could now conclude that Teacher Du and this Principal Du, the presidential candidate supported by the Sky Dome Group, were the same person. No wonder Jin Tai had managed to invite him to Golden Shark Island! Judging from how Teacher Du and Jin Tai addressed each other as brothers, their relationship seemed very close. Teacher Du smiled faintly, glanced at Lin Yupeng with approval in his eyes, and without directly answering his question, turned to Jin Tai and said, "Brother Jin, your adopted son's hearing is truly remarkable! He recognized me just by my voice, haha!" Jin Tai laughed heartily, glanced at Lin Yupeng, pointed at Teacher Du, and said seriously, "Yupeng, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Du Xiuwen, the president of Yanjing Normal University, who has been nominated as the presidential candidate of the Huaxia Party!" Lin Yupeng's face lit up with joy. He quickly stepped forward, shook Du Xiuwen's hand, and said respectfully, "Uncle Du, hello! I hope you will take good care of me in the future!" Du Xiuwen and Jin Tai were of the same generation, with Du Xiuwen being slightly younger than Jin Tai, so Lin Yupeng naturally had to call him "uncle." On the surface, he was very enthusiastic, but in his heart, he thought, "Finally, I'm going to meet the 'puppet president' who might be under my control in the future. This Du Xiuwen makes a good first impression; he seems to have a lot of personal charm. He should be very competitive in the presidential election! As for that Gao Yi, I just find him annoying. Mainly because what his son did was too despicable!" Du Xiuwen invited Jin Tai, Lin Yupeng, and the other two to sit in the living room. The maid brought out a pot of freshly brewed Longjing tea and poured a cup for each of them. Li Zhanbo and Xiang Kui, who were there as bodyguards, stood solemnly beside Jin Tai and Lin Yupeng. Jin Tai took a sip of tea and asked with a smile, "Brother Du, where are your wife and niece?" Du Xiuwen laughed and said, "They went back to their hometown! It's only a little over a month until the Spring Festival, and they wanted to persuade my parents-in-law to come to the city for the holiday!" Jin Tai nodded and chatted with Du Xiuwen about family matters. Since both of them were elders, Lin Yupeng didn't have a chance to speak and could only listen. Occasionally, Du Xiuwen would chat with Lin Yupeng about topics related to his school. "Yu Peng, you're welcome to visit our Yenching Normal University sometime!" Du Xiuwen said with a smile.

"Hehe, definitely, definitely! I've long heard that your university has already ranked among the top five in the national university rankings, a national key university, contributing a large number of outstanding talents to the country's development!" Lin Yupeng also started to use official jargon; these days, who can't use flattery?

Du Xiuwen laughed heartily, "Yes, our school recently held an MBA training program, which is quite suitable for young corporate executives like you. I hope you can come and attend a class when you have time; you should benefit from it."

Lin Yupeng smiled and replied, "Uncle Du, I will definitely go when I have time!"

Jin Tai interjected, "Yupeng, although your Uncle Du is the principal and very busy, he hasn't neglected his teaching duties. He's still teaching two classes of politics. I hope you can attend his class when you have time; it will be helpful to you!"

Lin Yupeng smiled and nodded, saying, "I will definitely go!" But in his heart, he thought to himself, "Do my parents mean I should go to the school to attend classes whenever I have free time? Sigh, I'm currently too busy with too many trivial matters. Attending classes when I have time will be beneficial for my future development." "Exhibitions are indeed beneficial, and you can also relive the feeling of studying in university. I still miss those times!"

At this moment, Du Xiuwen took out a gold card about half the size of his palm from his pocket, handed it to Lin Yupeng, and smiled, "Yupeng, this is the VIP attendance card for the MBA training class I mentioned earlier. With this card, you can come to the school to attend classes anytime. There's a schedule on the back. I hope you can come and attend when you have time!"

Lin Yupeng smiled and accepted the attendance card, his face showing gratitude, "Thank you, Uncle Du!"

Chapter 740 Secret Talk in the Study

Chapter 740 Secret Talk in the Study

Du Xiuwen laughed and continued, "As for my classes, whenever you want to attend, just give me a call, and I'll tell you the recent course schedule. You don't need any attendance card, just come!"

Lin Yupeng smiled and nodded. Du Xiuwen continued chatting with Jin Tai. Soon after, the housekeeper prepared dinner—simple home-cooked meals, not lavish, but delicious. After

dinner, Du Xiuwen, Jin Tai, and Lin Yupeng continued chatting on the sofa. After a while, Du Xiuwen's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light. He glanced at Lin Yupeng, then turned to Jin Tai and said seriously, "Brother Jin, I have a few words I'd like to discuss with Yupeng alone. You don't mind, do you?"

Jin Tai laughed heartily, "Of course! In a while, I'll be completely relinquishing control of the group. From now on, Lin Yupeng will be in charge of the Sky Dome Group. You two still need to maintain communication and cooperation!"

Du Xiuwen smiled and nodded, then stood up and said to Lin Yupeng, "Yupeng, come to the study with me!" "Having said that, he turned and walked upstairs.

Lin Yupeng also stood up, glanced at Jin Tai, who nodded slightly, and then immediately followed, going upstairs to the study with Du Xiuwen.

Lin Yupeng and Du Xiuwen sat down on the sofa in the study. He scanned the room; it truly deserved the title of study, with several large cabinets filled with various books, and the walls adorned with calligraphy and couplets by famous figures, exuding a strong scholarly atmosphere.

Du Xiuwen glanced at Lin Yupeng indifferently, his smile suddenly fading, his expression becoming serious. After a long while, he said, "Yupeng, do you remember what I said to you on Golden Shark Island? 'Those who don't understand politics are in danger everywhere; those who understand politics can always turn danger into safety!'

A cold glint flashed in Lin Yupeng's handsome eyes, and he smiled and said, 'Uncle Du, of course I remember! That sentence left a deep impression on me!' "

Du Xiuwen nodded solemnly, his eyes suddenly flashing with a sharp, cold light as he stared directly at Lin Yupeng. He said coldly, "But you failed! You're always taking risks!" Lin

Yupeng's heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself, "How does Du Xiuwen know I've been taking risks? Is he bluffing me, or does he really know something?"

But on the surface, he remained calm, smiled faintly, and said in a deep voice, "Uncle Du, the business world is like a battlefield. Who can guarantee they'll always be invincible? Besides, some extremely difficult situations require extreme measures, otherwise, you'll get burned!"

Du Xiuwen's face suddenly darkened. He sighed and said, "I've told you before, politics is also very dangerous. You might rise to fame overnight, or you might be ruined overnight!"

Lin Yupeng laughed heartily, "Uncle Du, I'm not concerned with politics, but with business. I want to develop Tianqiong Group into a leading conglomerate both domestically and internationally! " "

I know," Du Xiuwen said calmly, "but you've done some things too rashly! It's very worrying. Everything should be done in moderation, know when to stop, otherwise things will backfire!"

Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed with a cold, piercing light, and he asked in a deep voice, "Uncle Du, which matter are you referring to?"

Du Xiuwen's expression became increasingly gloomy and serious, his pupils contracted sharply, and his eyes pierced Lin Yupeng's face like needles, as if trying to see through Lin Yupeng's heart. After a long while, Du Xiuwen sighed again and said, word by word, "The case of robbing and killing Wei Tie on Tiannan Highway, was it you who did it?"

Lin Yupeng's heart trembled, and he thought to himself in shock, "Du Xiuwen is just the president of Yanjing Normal University? How could he know about that case and even be so sure that I did it? What does he mean by that? " "On second thought, he pondered, 'Since Du Xiuwen is running for president, he must be exceptionally capable and have connections everywhere. At the very least, he should have a very strong team behind him. Could he be the one who secretly helped suppress the Wei Tie case?'

Seeing Lin Yupeng's outward composure masking a sharp, cold glint in his eyes, Du Xiuwen knew that Lin Yupeng's mind was racing. Du Xiuwen smiled slightly and said calmly, 'Yupeng, don't worry! I don't mean to accuse you. I'm just reminding you because I've noticed that you tend to go to extremes, which isn't good! Never take risks unless absolutely necessary. You must remember this in the future!'

Lin Yupeng smiled faintly and asked in a deep voice, 'Uncle Du, were you the one who suppressed that case?'

Du Xiuwen smiled slightly and said, 'Not entirely me, because I work in education, not criminal investigation. But I have a friend who happens to work in the Ministry of Public Security. '" "I managed to temporarily suppress the case by secretly pulling some strings through that friend! Yu Peng, you acted too rashly. Even if Wei Tie is caught and reveals some things, it's not irreversible. The police won't easily bring down Tianqiong Group just because of Wei Tie's one-sided testimony!"

Lin Yu Peng simply smiled and nodded without offering any opinion, but in his heart he disagreed: "If Wei Tie isn't eliminated, he'll be a menace sooner or later!"

He then thought of the friend in the Ministry of Public Security that Du Xiuwen mentioned. He must hold a high position, otherwise he wouldn't have so much power. He might even be a vice minister or a minister. But since Du Xiuwen refused to reveal who that person was, Lin Yu Peng didn't press the matter.

Seeing Lin Yupeng's solemn and gloomy expression, Du Xiuwen assumed his words had resonated with him. With approving eyes, he said, "Yupeng, you are young and promising, resourceful, ambitious, and have lofty ideals and aspirations—that's why I value you! But young people often have a tendency to be impulsive; they act rashly without considering the consequences. I hope you will take this to heart in the future!"

Lin Yupeng, his eyes gleaming, laughed heartily, "Uncle Du, don't worry, I will definitely try my best to overcome that!" He then glanced at the somber-looking Du Xiuwen and changed the subject, "Uncle Du, what are your chances of winning this presidential election?" This was his biggest concern. If Du Xiuwen couldn't win, then his contact with him would be wasted, and he would have to find time to contact other candidates—a real hassle.

Du Xiuwen smiled faintly and said seriously, "Yu Peng, I already told you this when I was on Golden Shark Island. First of all, we must pass the party election. Currently, the only people in the Huaxia Party who have been nominated as the presidential candidate, besides me, are the current Vice Premier of the State Council, Gao Yi. His political record has always been good, and he is very powerful. He has always been my biggest threat!"
