Chapter 763 Erotic Thoughts Arise

Chapter 763 Erotic Thoughts Arise

Hua Meiyu's heart began to waver again, but when she thought of her imprisoned parents, she tried hard to persuade herself to stay calm. At this critical moment, she must not waver!

In her panic, she lost her balance and leaned forward. Her full and firm breasts pressed against Lin Yupeng's broad chest. The delicate, soft, and elastic sensation, along with the tingling friction, sent waves of pleasure through him like an electric shock.

Lin Yupeng's eyes involuntarily darted downwards, slipping directly into Hua Meiyu's deep V-neck. The skin beneath her slender, jade-like neck was smooth as cream. She wore a white, half-cup bra, her alluring cleavage forming a beautiful stream. The skin on both sides was like white jade, dazzling and radiant. One could imagine how wonderful it would feel to touch it...

Two bright red clouds quickly rose to Hua Meiyu's delicate cheeks. Her pretty face was burning hot, her heart was in turmoil, and she appeared infinitely shy, making him even more intoxicated. Lin Yupeng felt a surge of heat throughout his body, especially his lower body, which was already aroused. The fire of desire in his heart surged up, and he had a real urge to hold this stunning beauty tightly in his arms and kiss and caress her wantonly.

He barely suppressed the impulse, his grip on her hand tightening involuntarily. The soft, smooth feel of her delicate hand was even more vividly transmitted to his brain, causing his heart to flutter again. He sighed inwardly, "This girl is truly captivating from head to toe. Ah... don't worry, she'll be my woman sooner or later."

Lin Yupeng and Hua Meiyu's physical contact lasted only three or four seconds before Hua Meiyu, out of girlish shyness, took two steps back. Her pretty face was flushed like a sunset, and her beautiful eyes, like stars and pearls, shone with a charming and shy allure. She stole a glance at him and saw that he was still wearing a carefree smile, his eyes full of tenderness as he looked at her. Her heart fluttered again, and she said in a sweet voice, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, I was distracted just now!"

"Hehe, it's alright, Miss Hua, are you a little tired?" Lin Yupeng gazed at her affectionately and asked with concern.

"No...it's alright, Mr. Lin. From now on, please just call me by my name, okay?" Hua Meiyu's pretty face flushed, her beautiful eyes sparkling with desire, and she said shyly.

"Sure, then don't call me Mr. Lin anymore, it sounds too formal!" Lin Yupeng chuckled.

Hua Meiyu smiled sweetly and said in a coquettish voice, "Then I'll call you Brother Lin, okay?"

"Okay, hehe!" Lin Yupeng laughed heartily, recalling the "Brother Lin Law." His gaze softened, becoming even clearer and gentler, for the woman before him was about to belong to him. However, a barrier remained between them. Tonight's action was crucial to breaking down that barrier and making Hua Meiyu willingly become his woman.

The two continued their synchronized dance. Hua Meiyu's skirt, slit up to her thighs, swayed with her graceful movements. Under the bright stage lights, the white thong with bows on either side of her legs peeked out, and Lin Yupeng caught a glimpse of it!

He saw the inside of her legs, encased in sheer stockings... Her skin was even smoother and more lustrous, white and delicate like solidified jade. Her round, upturned buttocks, tightly wrapped in her panties, along with her slender waist and full breasts, formed an incredibly alluring "S" shape, making one intoxicated and restless.

Lin Yupeng's eyes widened, and he was immediately filled with lustful thoughts: "This woman is so charming. If I could possess her and hold her beneath me, the feeling of those beautiful legs trembling would be incomparably wonderful, like ascending to heaven..."

Just as his lust was rising again, he suddenly heard Hua Meiyu's soft and melodious voice: "Brother Lin, I'm a little hungry. Shall we go for a late-night snack?" Lin Yupeng chuckled

inwardly: "The mermaid is taking the bait! Xia Zhuo, that big fish, is also taking the bait. Tonight's harvest is going to be quite good!" He chuckled and said softly, "Okay! Where shall we go for a late-night snack?"

Hua Meiyu hesitated for a moment, her heart pounding again. Trying to calm herself, she said sweetly, "Let's go to Chunming Hotel! It's open 24 hours, and I like their late-night snacks. " "

Okay, let's go then," Lin Yupeng replied cheerfully, feigning delight. Just as

their dance ended, Lin Yupeng and Hua Meiyu left the dance floor and slowly walked away from the Shuiyuntian Dance Hall.

"Meiyu, it's cold outside, wear more clothes!" Lin Yupeng said with concern, noticing Hua Meiyu's thin clothing.

"Mmm!" Hua Meiyu smiled gratefully at Lin Yupeng's thoughtfulness, a sweet smile appearing at the corners of her beautiful, delicate lips, like a lily in full bloom. Her heart stirred again…

Barely managing to calm herself, she casually called over a waitress, whispered a few words, and soon she came running over with a beige trench coat in her hands.

"Thank you," Hua Meiyu smiled sweetly, taking the trench coat and draping it over her shoulders.

The two walked out of the "Shuiyuntian" nightclub, got into Lin Yupeng's Audi, and Xiang Kui started the car and slowly drove away. This was something Lin Yupeng had instructed beforehand; he was to drive as slowly as possible to give himself and Hua Meiyu time to talk, as their upcoming operation would really require her cooperation. The

journey from "Shuiyuntian" to the Chunming Hotel was quite a distance, usually taking more than ten minutes even at a fast pace. Today, Xiang Kui deliberately drove slowly, making it at least twenty minutes.

Lin Yupeng used this time to chat with Hua Meiyu.

"Meiyu, have you studied vocal music since you were little?" Lin Yupeng asked, his eyes fixed on Hua Meiyu, with a smile.

A faint melancholy shone on Hua Meiyu's pretty face, making her appear somewhat absent-minded. She knew that the closer they got to the Chunming Hotel, the greater the danger to Lin Yupeng. She would kill him sooner or later, and the thought of giving herself to him in a moment filled her with trepidation and shyness, but even more so with pain and confusion—a woman's most precious possession is her chastity, and she was choosing to give it to a man who was about to die. But she had no other choice; only in this way could she alleviate some of the guilt in her heart.

Hearing Lin Yupeng's question, Hua Meiyu nodded softly, her beautiful eyes flashing with melancholy, not daring to meet Lin Yupeng's focused gaze.

Lin Yupeng chuckled inwardly, "This girl may be beautiful and sing well, but her acting is terrible. Even if I didn't know about their trap tonight, seeing her expression now would make me suspicious..." Chapter

764: Winning Hearts and Minds Lin Yupeng's heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself, "No wonder that mysterious boss wasn't comfortable with Hua Meiyu and insisted on planting a time bomb under my car. This guy really knows my personality!" "Meiyu, which university did you graduate from?" Lin Yupeng asked, trying to break the ice and lower Hua Meiyu's defenses. Hua Meiyu managed to composed herself and replied sweetly, "Yanjing Conservatory of Music..." Lin Yupeng's heart skipped a beat. He knew the prestigious Yanjing Conservatory of Music. Although it was only a vocational college, it was very influential nationwide, having trained many top singers. His Starlight Media in Tianhan City had many signed singers who graduated from Yanjing Conservatory of Music. Lin Yupeng smiled slightly, his eyes gleaming as he stared intently at Hua Meiyu's stunning beauty. He asked with concern, "Meiyu, may I be so bold as to ask you a personal question? I hope you don't mind." Hua Meiyu smiled sweetly, her clear, spring-like eyes sparkling with affection. Meeting his burning gaze, her heart fluttered again, her cheeks flushed, and she lowered her head, softly replying, "Brother Lin, please ask!" Lin Yupeng smiled casually and asked gently, "Meiyu, have you ever had a boyfriend before?"

Hua Meiyu blushed slightly, gently shook her head, and said firmly, "No!"

Lin Yupeng was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Why? A beautiful girl as lovely as you must have many outstanding men pursuing you. Don't you have any you like?"

Hua Meiyu smiled faintly, her beautiful eyes filled with a sorrowful and shy charm, and replied in a sweet voice, "When I was in school, my parents said I was too young to date. After graduation, I signed a contract with Shuiyuntian, and President Xia, in order to use me to disrupt their business, forbade me to date even more..." Her voice was filled with bitterness and resentment. What girl doesn't yearn for true love?

Lin Yupeng's words clearly touched Hua Meiyu's fragile heartstrings, stirring up a melancholic note. Hua Meiyu temporarily forgot her melancholy and fear, and a dreamlike longing appeared on her pretty face. She said softly, "Brother Lin, actually, I really want to live the life of an ordinary girl, a warm home, and a man who loves me. But since I've already chosen this path, I have to walk it without hesitation. Sometimes I feel very empty and helpless..."

After speaking, she suddenly paused, secretly glancing at Lin Yupeng. Seeing him listening intently with a smile on his face, her heart couldn't help but panic. She thought to herself, "How could I tell him these things? I'm going to hurt him tonight!"

Lin Yupeng saw that she was wavering, smiled secretly, and said with concern in his eyes, "Meiyu, I know you're a kind girl, but you're not happy, are you? Your life is always being manipulated by others, doing things you don't like, right?" His words were like gentle hammers, each one striking a soft spot in Hua Meiyu's heart, relentlessly assaulting her weakest defenses. The phrase "You're a kind girl" particularly stung, causing her to question herself: "

Hua Meiyu, are you a kind woman? After tonight, the man beside you will die for you! Aren't you being too selfish? To save your own family, you'd risk someone else's life?" Lin Yupeng's eyes gleamed, knowing

she was struggling internally and under immense psychological pressure. He smiled slightly, feigning ignorance, and softly comforted her: "Meiyu, don't be too sad. You're a good girl, you deserve perfect love, and a good man will cherish you and take care of you for life!"

"Thank you!" Hua Meiyu's pretty face blossomed into a sweet, warm smile, her voice filled with gratitude.

Looking into Lin Yupeng's concerned eyes, her heart trembled: "I can tell he's a good man, should I really do that?" Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed, and he continued his psychological offensive, asking softly, "

Meiyu, I used to be a doctor. Do you have very poor sleep quality every night? Do you often have nightmares?"

Hua Meiyu was taken aback, then nodded, "Yes, Brother Lin, how did you know?"

Lin Yupeng laughed heartily, "Because I'm a doctor! I can tell your sleep quality is very poor. I suggest you drink some milk or millet porridge before bed, and try to eat less oily late-night snacks; they're not good for your health!"

"I understand, thank you for reminding me!" Hua Meiyu's heart rippled with gratitude, and she smiled sweetly.

Lin Yupeng gazed at her breathtakingly beautiful smile, so captivating it could make fish sink and geese fall from the sky. Her delicate lips curved upwards in a beautiful arc, her sweet smile as radiant and enchanting as a blooming begonia. He was momentarily mesmerized, then couldn't help but softly exclaim, "Meiyu, your smile is truly beautiful! Like a celestial maiden descended from heaven, no, you're even more beautiful than a fairy!"

Upon hearing this, a blush quickly crept onto Hua Meiyu's exquisitely beautiful face, her eyes shimmering with a captivating gentleness. With a sweet smile, she gently lowered her head, her heart still fluttering and trembling…

Lin Yupeng secretly glanced at his watch; ten minutes had passed, and they would arrive at the Chunming Hotel in ten minutes. He began his next round of psychological offensive,

briefly . He explained that he was an orphan who was later adopted by a godfather. Although his life was alright, he envied other children who had loving mothers, while he only had a godfather who was often away. His childhood was not happy.

Hua Meiyu clearly had a happy childhood, so upon hearing Lin Yupeng's deliberately exaggerated "tragic" childhood experiences, her pretty face showed sympathy, and she softly comforted him, "Brother Lin, let bygones be bygones! Aren't you living a happy life now?"

Lin Yupeng's eyes softened, and he laughed heartily, "Yes! So you should be happier too. People always have to look forward!" After saying that, he paused, staring intently at Hua Meiyu's clear yet bewildered eyes, and said softly, "Meiyu, thank you!"

Hua Meiyu was taken aback, her heart trembled, and she asked sweetly, "Brother Lin, why are you thanking me?"

Lin Yupeng smiled slightly and said seriously, "Meiyu, I thank you for spending these past few days talking to me and dancing with me. You know, this is something I never even dared to dream of before. So many men more outstanding than me pursued you, but you didn't give them a chance at all. You only chose me to be your... friend. I am truly blessed, it feels like a dream! Hehe!"

Chapter 765 Winning the Heart of a Beauty

Looking

at the happy smile on Lin Yupeng's face, Hua Meiyu's guilt deepened, her heart pounded with unease, and her gaze became even more bewildered.

Lin Yupeng gazed at her pretty face and continued softly, "When I was little, my godfather told me that the more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it is, like the poppy. Although it's very beautiful when it blooms, it's the source of drugs and evil! Since I met you, I feel that this statement isn't entirely true. A woman as beautiful as you, being with you only excites me, how could there be any danger? Every smile and frown of yours is so perfect in my heart, and every word you say to me excites me!"

After saying this, he adjusted his posture, facing Hua Meiyu directly, gazing deeply into her clear, spring-like eyes, and said dreamily, "Meiyu, to be able to..." Every minute and every second I spend with you is filled with joy! Even if I were to die the next second, I would do it willingly! If I were to die for you, that would be the greatest honor of my life!

His tone was sincere and earnest. As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Meiyu's body trembled as if she had been electrocuted. Her heart pounded, and her fragile psychological defenses collapsed. Tears welled up in her clear, autumn-water-like eyes. She bit her rosy lips hard and turned sharply to Xiang Kui, who was driving, shouting urgently, "Stop the car! Stop the car!"

Xiang Kui seemed not to hear her shouts and continued driving at a leisurely pace. They were about to arrive at the entrance of the Chunming Hotel.

Tears streamed down Hua Meiyu's face, tracing poignant lines across her stunningly beautiful features. She cried out urgently, "Brother Lin, quickly tell him to stop the car! Chunming Hotel is dangerous; someone wants to harm you!" Lin Yupeng

feigned surprise and hurriedly said to Xiang Kui, "Brother Xiang, stop the car first!" As soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Kui stepped on the brakes, and the car came to a smooth stop.

Lin Yupeng gazed at Hua Meiyu with concern in his eyes and asked softly, "Meiyu, what exactly happened? I'm so confused. Who wants to harm you? Where is he? I promise I'll protect you! I'll call for help right now!"

Hua Meiyu could no longer suppress her panic and sorrow. She threw herself into his arms and cried out, "Brother Lin, it's not someone who wants to harm me! It's someone who wants to harm you! They tricked me into going to the Chunming Hotel, getting you a room, and then... then they'll break in and kill you..."

Hua Meiyu confessed Xia Zhuo's plan to Lin Yupeng in fits and starts, finally pleading through her tears, "Brother Lin, please forgive me. I really didn't mean to harm you. They imprisoned my parents and forced me to do this. I'm so sorry!"

Lin Yupeng opened his arms and embraced Hua Meiyu's fragrant and delicate body, feeling the smoothness and tenderness of her skin. A refreshing and sweet fragrance wafted into his nose, making him feel completely comfortable and invigorated. He gently comforted her, "Meiyu, you have nothing to do wrong to me! I should be grateful to you for telling me the truth at this time! Even if I really die tonight, I won't blame you in the afterlife, because you were forced into it, weren't you?"

His words were sincere and heartfelt, and Hua Meiyu cried even harder in his arms. A beauty is a beauty; whether she is laughing or crying, she is so charming! The crystal tears on her pretty face, illuminated by the neon lights streaming in from the window, were as dazzling as seven-colored diamonds, like pear blossoms in the rain, or lotus flowers emerging from the water, so pitiful and moving. Her full and perky breasts pressed against Lin Yupeng's broad chest, and with the twisting of her body, a wave of tingling pleasure washed over her.

Lin Yupeng's mind went blank for a moment. He tried hard to control his emotions, gently comforting her while taking a handkerchief from his briefcase and softly wiping away her tears. Looking into her eyes, filled with resentment and sorrow, he said seriously, "Meiyu, please don't cry. I have a way to save your parents, just do as I say!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Meiyu immediately stopped crying, a glimmer of hope appearing in her tear-filled eyes. She hurriedly asked with concern, "Brother Lin, I'll listen to you. What should I do?"

Lin Yupeng laughed heartily, "It's actually very simple, just use their plan against them! Just do as they plan. I'll make a call first!" With that, he took out his phone from his pocket.

Hua Meiyu stared at him, her gaze involuntarily captivated. Lin Yupeng's composure and calmness in the face of danger surprised and fascinated this naive young girl. Of course, she had no idea that Lin Yupeng had already made preparations. Like a mantis stalking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, there was a bigger trap waiting for him to fall into the small trap that Xia Zhuo had painstakingly woven!

Lin Yupeng dialed Leng Rui's number and asked in a deep voice, "Brother Leng, is everything ready on your end?"

Leng Rui replied in a deep voice, "Everything is ready, Mr. Lin, don't worry! Everything is foolproof!"

Lin Yupeng turned off his phone, took out the two ultra-thin bulletproof vests from his pocket, handed one to Hua Meiyu, and said solemnly, "This is a bulletproof vest. Wear it underneath, just in case!"

After saying that, he took off his suit jacket and put on his own bulletproof vest underneath. At this moment, Hua Meiyu also put her bulletproof vest under her trench coat, her pretty face filled with gratitude as she said, "Brother Lin, thank you!"

Lin Yupeng laughed heartily, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, and turned to Xiang Kui. "Brother Xiang, let's drive!"

The car started moving again. Lin Yupeng took out the antidote bottle that Leng Rui had given him yesterday from his pocket, stared at Hua Meiyu, and said seriously, "Meiyu, my men will probably use some poison in a while. This is the antidote. Smell it first, then put the liquid on your nostrils so you won't be poisoned."

Hua Meiyu was stunned when she heard this, and a thought flashed through her mind: "What kind of people are his men? They even use poison. How terrifying!" But she was now completely obedient to Lin Yupeng, so she had no choice but to take the small porcelain bottle. There was a wad of cotton wool fixed at the mouth of the bottle. With just a slight shake, the liquid inside would soak the cotton wool.

After applying the antidote, Hua Meiyu returned the porcelain bottle to Lin Yupeng. Lin Yupeng took it and applied the antidote to his nose as well, thinking to himself, "I wonder what Leng Rui's sleeping potion is made of? Will it work in a critical moment? If all else fails, I'll use my own!"

With that thought, he took out a bottle of his own concocted sleeping potion from his briefcase and put it in his pocket. At this moment, the car had already arrived at the entrance of the Chunming Hotel, and a covert battle was about to begin.

Lin Yupeng and Hua Meiyu both got out of the car, while Xiang Kui told him to stay in the car to avoid being planted with another time bomb. Chapter 766

: Ready to Strike. The two stepped into the lobby on the first floor. It was already past 10 pm, just in time for the buffet late-night snack, 100 yuan per person. The late-night snacks here are divided into Asian, European, and American themes. Tonight, it's the Asian theme buffet, with a rich variety of dishes, exquisite presentation, delicious taste, and a continuous supply. These include Thai fish cakes with sweet chili sauce, Malaysian crispy fried chicken wings, Japanese sushi and hand rolls, Vietnamese fried rice, Indian fried potatoes, Chinese dim sum, steamed egg white coconut pudding, green tea rolls, and snow fungus, lotus seed, and red date sweet soup, among others. Hua Meiyu's heart pounded at the thought of what was about to happen. Lin Yupeng, knowing her nervousness, used his "foodie" expertise to patiently explain the nutritional value of each dish. Following his suggestions, Hua Meiyu chose Chinese dim sum, green tea rolls, and red date sweet soup, while Lin Yupeng casually selected a few side dishes. The two sat at a booth in the northeast corner of the hall. Lin Yupeng pretended to eat his late-night snack, his eyes gleaming as he constantly surveyed his surroundings. He noticed a large number of people at the buffet tonight; even the manager seemed surprised: "Business is booming tonight! There are about 30% more people than usual!" Most of the diners were strong, muscular men, and a few of them kept glancing in his direction with the predatory look of wolves eyeing their prey. He knew those men were Xia Zhuo's thugs, and a cold smile crept across his face as he continued his scan. He then discovered his own men mingling in the hall, constantly scanning for suspicious individuals with the same predatory gaze of tigers hunting wolves. Lin Yupeng chatted with Hua Meiyu as they ate, trying to soothe her fear with comforting words. "Meiyu, even if you can't date right now, with so many suitors, don't you have someone you like?" Lin Yupeng asked softly, his eyes gleaming. Hua Meiyu's delicate cheeks flushed with a blush like rouge, her luscious cherry lips trembled slightly, and she said softly, "No! Although those people are all excellent, they are all after my beauty and body. They are vain and don't like me!" She paused, her beautiful eyes sparkling with a charming and shy allure, and glanced at Lin Yupeng indifferently, saying softly, "Brother Lin, thank you for your concern. I can see that you are different from them!" Looking at her girlish shyness, Lin Yupeng's heart stirred: "Does she mean she has feelings for me?" He laughed heartily and said softly, "Meiyu, don't think of me as so noble. Actually, I also admire your looks, but I respect your wishes and sincerely wish you happiness!" Hua Meiyu smiled sweetly and said in a delicate voice, "Thank you!" Her voice was clear and gentle, like celestial music. Although Lin Yupeng was very pleased, his expression darkened, and he said seriously, "Meiyu, you've said 'thank you' and 'sorry' too much today! Since we're friends, let's not be so polite!" Hua Meiyu's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she nodded quietly, continuing to eat her late-night snack. The two finished their late-night snack in this ambiguous and complicated atmosphere. Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed sharply, and he lowered his voice, saying, "Meiyu, shouldn't we get a room later?" Hua Meiyu blushed and whispered, "Yes, Brother Lin, be careful. There are definitely their people in the hotel!" Lin Yupeng smiled calmly and said seriously, "Meiyu, you go get a room later! I'm going to the restroom first! Don't be afraid, stay calm!" Hua Meiyu's beautiful eyes flashed with determination. She nodded slightly, stood up gracefully, and headed straight for the service desk in the lobby. Lin Yupeng stood up and quickly ran to the restroom on the left side of the lobby. He pushed open the door to the first stall and saw Leng Rui standing inside. According to their pre-arranged plan, Lin Yupeng was to meet him here. "Mr. Lin, how's the situation? Any changes?" Leng Rui's double pupils flashed with a strange light as he asked coldly. Lin Yupeng looked around to make sure no one was there and lowered his voice, "Is everything ready?"

Leng Rui nodded, a glint of lightning flashing in his eyes. Lin Yupeng smiled and said, "Everything is proceeding according to plan!" He then walked out of the restroom.

A minute later, Leng Rui followed him out. Lin Yupeng was already at the reception desk. Hua Meiyu had booked a deluxe suite in room 416 on the fourth floor. Several other people came to book rooms; these were Leng Rui's security guards disguised as guests. To avoid suspicion, each guard brought a female employee from the company, posing as a couple seeking pleasure.

Lin Yupeng and Hua Meiyu went upstairs together to room 416. He took the room key from Hua Meiyu, gently opened the door, and went inside with her.

Lin Yupeng turned on the light, his eyes gleaming. The deluxe suite had two rooms: a small living room outside and a bedroom with a shower inside.

"Meiyu, come to the bedroom with me!" Lin Yupeng said to Hua Meiyu in a deep voice, his eyes flashing.

“Mmm! Brother Lin, they said… they’ll give me half an hour!” Hua Meiyu said as she followed Lin Yupeng into the bedroom.

Lin Yupeng chuckled inwardly, “This girl is too naive! Do you really think they’ll give you half an hour to offer yourself? Those guys are probably at the door by now!”

Thinking this, he turned to Hua Meiyu and said softly, “Meiyu, hide in the bathroom right now! They’re about to burst in, you have to be quick!” With that, he swiftly pulled out his Gloca pistol from his pocket, loaded it, and his expression was serious and wary.

This gun, given to him by Tan Shiquan, had a scope and a silencer. Lin Yupeng had never used it before, but tonight it would come in handy to protect himself and Hua Meiyu.

Although he had made meticulous arrangements and Leng Rui had given his assurances, plans can change, and if unforeseen circumstances arose, the only solution would be to use force.

Seeing his anxious expression and the fact that he had even pulled out his gun, Hua Meiyu's pretty face showed fear. Following Lin Yupeng's instructions, she opened the bathroom door and quickly slipped inside.

Just as Hua Meiyu had hidden herself, the door was pried open with a "click," and a series of hurried footsteps sounded outside; about four or five people rushed in.

Immediately afterward, a strange thumping sound was heard, like frogs jumping into a well, before quickly returning to silence.

Chapter 767 First Release, Then Capture

About a minute later, Leng Rui's voice drifted from the living room into the bedroom: "President Lin, come out! I've taken care of them."

Inside, Lin Yupeng was secretly astonished: "This guy's too fast! It seems my worries were unnecessary!"

He put his pistol back in his pocket, opened the bedroom door, and stepped out. He saw four people lying on the ground, in various positions, all foaming at the mouth and unconscious. It seemed Leng Rui's drug was very potent, no less than the sleeping potion Lin Yupeng had concocted.

Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed as he surveyed the four men. One of them, the most burly, was Fu Chunguang, the security captain of Shuiyuntian. Xia Zhuo was also among them. The other two were ordinary security guards from Shuiyuntian, each holding a Type 54 pistol with a silencer, ready to fire at Lin Yupeng upon sight.

Leng Rui was sitting on the living room sofa, rubbing his hands together, his eyes flashing with a strange, chilling light.

Lin Yupeng smiled and walked over, gently patting him on the shoulder, saying approvingly, "Brother Leng, you did a fantastic job!"

Just then, the door was violently flung open, and Deng Yuhu dragged two men in like chickens. Both were security guards from "Shuiyuntian," unconscious, with bloody marks on their necks, clearly having been strangled.

"These two were keeping watch outside, and I've subdued them. As for the people in the lobby downstairs, they're all under our surveillance!" Deng Yuhu reported respectfully to Lin Yupeng. His large, round eyes scanned the floor, seeing Fu Chunguang and Xia Zhuo lying motionless on the ground. He glanced at the cold, arrogant Leng Rui, secretly thinking, "This kid's got some skills. I thought he was just bragging!" "So the medicine he has is really that powerful?"

Leng Rui glanced at Deng Yuhu indifferently, a hint of pride and smugness appearing on his cold face. He slowly stood up, took out a stack of sleeping pills from his pocket, all prepared in advance, and took out six to stick on the Baihui acupoints of the six people on the ground. This was a simple application of his unique skill, "Flower-Slapping Technique." Once these six people woke up, they would have to completely obey Leng Rui's control.

Lin Yupeng nodded in satisfaction, turned to look at Deng Yuhu, and said seriously, "Minister Deng, thank you for your hard work! Is the car ready?"

Deng Yuhu's eyes flashed coldly, and he nodded heavily, saying, "It's all ready as you instructed!"

At this moment, the six people on the ground opened their eyes at the same time, as if they had jumped up from the ground as if they had risen from the dead. Each of them had a strange and confused light flowing in their eyes, their expressions were wooden, and their movements were stiff, just like mummies without bandages.

Lin Yupeng chuckled at the six "mummies," then turned to Leng Rui and ordered in a deep voice, "Take these people away first!"

Leng Rui nodded and muttered words to control the six people as they pushed open the door and left the guest room.

Lin Yupeng strode into the bedroom and said in a deep voice towards the bathroom, "Meiyu, the danger is over, come out!"

The door opened, and Hua Meiyu gracefully emerged, her pretty face still showing signs of panic. She asked sweetly, "Really? Where are those people?"

Lin Yupeng laughed heartily, "They were taken away by my men. You're coming with me too!"

Hua Meiyu was taken aback, her beautiful eyes flashing with doubt. She asked softly, "Brother Lin, where are we going?" Lin

Yupeng gazed at her pure and beautiful face and smiled, "Of course, we're going back to my Sky Dome Group! Let me tell you, your boss, that Xia Zong guy, and Fu Chunguang, the security captain of Shuiyuntian, are both in our hands!" "With these two as hostages, your parents will be safe! By the way, what's Zhao Yanmei's position at the hotel?"

Upon hearing that her parents might be rescued, Hua Meiyu's pretty face lit up with joy, and she hurriedly replied, "She's the deputy general manager of Shuiyuntian, second only to General Manager Xia."

Lin Yupeng's eyes gleamed, and he nodded slightly, already having made up his mind. He spoke softly to Hua Meiyu, "Let's go! I'll rescue your parents as soon as possible and reunite your family!"

Hua Meiyu's beautiful face showed gratitude, her eyes filled with tenderness, and she said sweetly, "Brother Lin, thank you. Our family will always be grateful to you."

Lin Yupeng chuckled and said, "You're being too polite with me again." With that, he took Hua Meiyu's slender, delicate, and boneless hand and walked towards the door.

Hua Meiyu's pretty face was flushed with a light pink, like a budding flower. Her heart was in turmoil, and she felt no resistance to Lin Yupeng's intimate gesture. She let his large, strong hands hold her soft hand, the warmth intoxicating her. The masculine aura emanating from him captivated her, and gradually she began to rely on Lin Yupeng.

The two walked hand in hand out of the guest room, accompanied by Deng Yuhu, following the escape route Lin Yupeng had arranged beforehand. They avoided the lobby, went directly through the emergency exit, and slipped out through the west door of the hotel, where a brand-new silver-gray Ford sedan was parked—a new car purchased by the Tianqiong Group.

The three got into the car, and Deng Yuhu started the engine and sped away from the Chunming Hotel. In the car, Lin Yupeng called Xiang Kui, asking him to also return.

Tonight's operation was a complete success, everything proceeded according to plan. The next step was to find a way to rescue Hua Meiyu's parents.

He already had a well-defined plan in mind. The principle was simple: he now had six hostages to exchange for Hua Meiyu's parents. "Shui Yuntian" would definitely agree; Zhao Yanmei was now in charge there. While this woman was good at serving men, she was far less adept at political maneuvering than Lin Yupeng.

Lin Yupeng's ambition clearly wasn't satisfied with this kind of fair exchange, similar to the "changing of horses and generals" in ancient battlefields. He wanted to use a "feigned retreat" tactic to gain greater benefits. Specifically, it was "release first, then capture." "Release first" meant exchanging Xia Zhuo and Fu Chunguang for Hua Meiyu's parents, while "capture later" meant releasing Xia Zhuo and Fu Chunguang and then bringing them back as hostages!

Lin Yupeng didn't say a word the whole way, carefully considering his new "let them go first, then capture them" plan. When he returned to the company, he immediately called Leng Rui and learned that Xia Zhuo and Fu Chunguang were currently being held captive in the company's underground warehouse.

Chapter 768 Catching a Turtle in a Jar

Lin Yupeng returned to the Sky Dome Building and took Hua Meiyu directly to the top floor, the most heavily guarded apartment area for the group's top executives. He led Hua Meiyu into his presidential suite and smiled, "Meiyu, you can stay here for now. I'll go rescue your parents later."

Hua Meiyu's clear, autumn-water-like eyes shimmered with gratitude. She parted her lips to say "thank you," but then remembered Lin Yupeng's earlier words about not being too polite. She swallowed the "thank you," gave him a sweet smile, and her beautiful lips curved upwards into a stunning arc. A radiant blush spread across her face, revealing all her gratitude and anticipation in that captivating smile.

Lin Yupeng laughed heartily, his eyes flashing as he stared intently at Hua Meiyu. He asked in a deep voice, "Meiyu, do you know Zhao Yanmei's phone number? Tell me!" Hua

Meiyu nodded obediently, took out her small, exquisite phone, found Zhao Yanmei's number, and read it to Lin Yupeng.

After Lin Yupeng memorized it, he smiled slightly at her and said softly, "Meiyu, I'm leaving! You rest well here. There's a bathroom over there; you can take a shower to recover. Don't worry! I will definitely rescue your parents!"

After saying that, he turned to leave, but suddenly remembered an important detail and hurriedly turned back to Hua Meiyu seriously, saying, "Meiyu, do you have photos of your parents? I need to confirm them when I rescue them, lest Zhao Yanmei try to trick me."

Hua Meiyu said sweetly, "Yes, they're on my phone! Brother Lin, please take a look?" "Having said that, he opened her small, exquisite phone and showed Lin Yupeng photos of his parents.

After deeply imprinting their faces in his mind, Lin Yupeng looked up at Hua Meiyu's pretty face and smiled, "Meiyu, I'm leaving." With that, he turned and quickly left the presidential suite.

Hua Meiyu stared blankly at Lin Yupeng's departing figure, her clear, autumn-water-like eyes flowing with a dreamlike gentleness. Lin Yupeng's thoughtfulness and composure gave her an unprecedented sense of security and trust, and her heart was somewhat confused again...

Lin Yupeng took the elevator downstairs and went directly to his office. It was already past 11 p.m., and Lin Yupeng sat on the sofa chair with his eyes closed, resting." He was plotting a plan to rescue Hua Meiyu's parents. Although "letting them out first and then capturing them" was a good strategy, he knew that the power behind Shui Yuntian was not to be underestimated. Would he tolerate such a thing happening? With his cunning and ruthlessness, he would surely lay another trap for Lin Yupeng to fall into!

Lin Yupeng was resourceful and wouldn't fall for it easily, but how could he defend against the opponent's final blow? His mind raced, and suddenly he opened his eyes, two clear and sharp beams of light shooting out. He sneered inwardly, "Why don't I use the same trick again, luring them out and trapping them like turtles in a jar? Even if I can't catch Shui Yuntian's mastermind, at least I can greatly weaken his power!" Thinking of this

, he picked up Xi Shang's walkie-talkie, called Leng Rui and Deng Yuhu, and revealed his "trapping the turtle in a jar" plan.

A sharp glint flashed in Deng Yuhu's large, ring-shaped eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "President Lin, with such a big move, shouldn't we inform Chairman Jin first?"

Lin Yupeng's eyes darted around, and he pondered, "Alright, I'll contact Chairman Jin right away!" With that, he grabbed the phone on his desk and dialed Li Zhanbo's cell phone. He knew that Li Zhanbo and Jin Tai were inseparable; finding Li Zhanbo was equivalent to finding Jin Tai.

"Uncle Li, is Chairman Jin asleep?" Lin Yupeng asked in a deep voice, his eyes gleaming. Li Zhanbo paused

for a moment, then said softly, "Just lay down. What's the matter so late, President Lin?" Lin

Yupeng briefly recounted the events of the evening to Li Zhanbo, then told him about the plan he had just devised. Finally, he added in a cold voice, "Uncle Li, tonight's operation was risky, but I think it was worth it. At least it exposed our opponents. Otherwise, with them in the shadows and us in the open, we'd always be on the defensive, which would be very disadvantageous!"

Li Zhanbo paused, then said in a deep voice, "President Lin, please wait a moment! I can't make such a big decision on my own. I'll consult with Chairman Jin!"

"Okay! I'll wait for your call!" With that, Lin Yupeng slammed down the phone, secretly resolving, "Even if Chairman Jin disagrees, I'll still do it! Nothing ventured, nothing gained!" "I think the success rate should be far higher than fifty percent, then it's worth going for it."

The image of Hua Meiyu's pitiful and moving face flashed through his mind again, and he suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu. His Qin Xue had also had that expression before. Because Tai Xue's parents were still missing, this had always been a worry for Lin Yupeng. The same tragedy couldn't be repeated.

A short while later, the phone rang. Lin Yupeng picked it up and said in a deep voice, "Uncle Li, how is it? Did Chairman Jin agree?"

Li Zhanbo replied confidently, "Yes, Chairman Jin agreed to your plan! Furthermore, he requested that I bring men to participate in your operation to ensure everything goes smoothly!"

Lin Yupeng was overjoyed. He knew that Jin Tai's personality was similar to his own, and he would definitely agree to his plan. So he hurriedly replied, "That's great, Uncle Li, I'm in my office! Please bring your men over!" Li

Zhanbo hung up the phone, and shortly after, he arrived at Lin Yupeng's office with five members of his Jin Dong Guard. They were there to make further arrangements.

Lin Yupeng smiled slightly at Li Zhanbo, a sharp glint in his eyes, and picked up the phone again, dialing Zhao Yanmei's number.

Meanwhile, the "Shuiyuntian" staff office area was in complete chaos. Xia Zhuo and Fu Chunguang had led men to kill Lin Yupeng, but there had been no news for a long time, and their phones were all switched off. Especially the security guards who had returned from the Chunming Hotel; they had been waiting in the lobby and said that since President Xia went upstairs, he hadn't come down, and when they went up to look for him, they couldn't find a trace of him.

Zhao Yanmei was frantic, like an ant on a hot pan. If there was no news in another half hour, she would call the "boss" for help.

Suddenly, her phone rang. Zhao Yanmei's eyes lit up, and she quickly answered. Lin Yupeng's deep, cold voice came from the other end: "Is this Miss Zhao Yanmei?" He deliberately emphasized the word "Miss," the sarcasm in his voice unmistakable.

Zhao Yanmei, anxious, didn't catch the implication and asked impatiently, "It's me. Who are you?"

(Chapter 769 Midnight Operation)

Lin Yupeng sneered, "Zhao Yanmei, it's me, Lin Yupeng! To put it simply, your General Manager Xia and Captain Fu are in my hands. Let's talk about terms!"

Zhao Yanmei was stunned, her voice tinged with surprise, "Ah? Lin Yupeng, go ahead. As long as your conditions aren't too unreasonable, I'll agree, but you must guarantee the safety of our people!"

Hearing the anxiety in her voice, Lin Yupeng realized this little slut had quite the feelings for Xia Zhuo. He sneered inwardly, but outwardly remained calm and unhurried, saying, "The conditions are simple. Are Hua Meiyu's parents in your hands? Also, are He Wenwen and the ledger she stole also with you? I demand a swap: Xia Zhuo, Fu Chunguang, and four security guards in exchange for Hua Meiyu's parents, He Wenwen, and the stolen ledger. Hua Meiyu is my friend, and He Wenwen is an employee of Tianqiong Group. She violated company rules and resigned out of guilt; we must investigate." "Responsibility! That's why we're demanding a six-for-three exchange. See how much of a bargain you're getting? Zhao Yanmei, think it over!"

Without hesitation, Zhao Yanmei immediately agreed, "Okay, I agree. Where should we exchange people? I think we should go to a neutral place."

Lin Yupeng's eyes darted around, and he said in a deep voice, "There's a wild grove on the outskirts of Dongcheng District. There's a small pavilion in the middle of the grove; it shouldn't be hard to find. Let's meet there!"

This was the first choice for rendezvous suggested by Deng Yuhu during the meeting to discuss the action plan, with two other backup locations.

Zhao Yanmei hesitated for a moment, then replied in a deep voice, "Okay, I know that place. 1 a.m., see you there, okay?"

Lin Yupeng said seriously, "Okay, Zhao Yanmei, I hope we can both be honest with each other and not play tricks on each other. After all, nobody's a three-year-old!"

"I know," Zhao Yanmei said, then immediately hung up the phone. She then dialed another number, urgently saying, "Boss, something's happened..."

After hanging up with Zhao Yanmei, Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed sharply. He turned to Li Zhanbo and said seriously, "Uncle Li, we're going to trap them like turtles in a jar. You'll be in charge of leading men to ambush around the woods. I suspect Shui Yuntian will also have men lying in ambush there. How to deal with them is entirely up to you. You're a veteran, experienced, and never..." "We've never encountered a worthy opponent, so dealing with those petty thieves is naturally a piece of cake."

He even flattered Li Zhanbo with his last few words. Li Zhanbo laughed heartily and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Mr. Lin! Absolutely foolproof. I'll take some men to prepare right away."

Lin Yupeng nodded, glanced at his watch—it was 11:33 PM, more than an hour to go. He turned to Deng Yuhu and Leng Rui and whispered, "You two should also go and prepare yourselves."

Deng Yuhu and Leng Rui responded and followed Li Zhanbo out of the office.

Lin Yupeng sat on the sofa, his eyes slightly closed, planning his midnight operation. He knew that if the mysterious boss was indeed Zhang Yueran, he would definitely not show any mercy and would surely use a deadly move. Although his plan was meticulous, there was still a certain degree of danger. He would have to be flexible at the crucial moment. He hoped that this time he could achieve the same result as before, finding stability amidst danger and winning through stability.

After a while, he slowly opened his eyes. His clear gaze inadvertently fell on the pure and beautiful photo of Chen Lihan on the table. He couldn't help but pick it up and carefully examine the elegant, refined, gentle, and virtuous girl. In fact, if Chen Lihan dressed up carefully, she would not be inferior to Hua Meiyu. However, she preferred a fresh and simple style and never wore heavy makeup. But it was precisely this natural and pure charm and elegant and noble temperament that made her even more captivating. Lin Yupeng had been thinking about her a lot since he hadn't seen her for so many days.

If women were water, Chen Lihan would undoubtedly be a spring, refreshing, sweet, and gentle; while Hua Meiyu would be tea, fragrant, rich, and with an endless aftertaste.

Lin Yupeng couldn't help but recall the time more than ten years ago when he sat next to Chen Lihan in high school. That beautiful time was still fresh in his memory; the joy and trepidation of liking someone for the first time, the innocent and naive feelings, still made him yearn for and miss it.

Before he knew it, time had flown by, and more than ten years had passed in a flash. His ideal of love had never changed, but the surrounding environment had changed.

"Mr. Lin, everything's ready. When do we leave?" Deng Yuhu, who had somehow returned to the office, respectfully asked Lin Yupeng, who was staring blankly at the photo.

Lin Yupeng snapped out of his reverie, his eyes flashing sharply. He gently wiped the dust off Chen Lihan's photo with a handkerchief, then neatly placed it on the table. He abruptly stood up and coldly said to Deng Yuhu, "Let's go now."

With that, the two of them rushed out of the office, took the elevator down to a secret parking lot behind the Sky Dome Building. To avoid suspicion, Lin Yupeng didn't ride in his Audi, but instead got into a newly bought secondhand SUV, driven by his bodyguard, Xiang Kui.

The car started moving, followed closely by a large van carrying Deng Yuhu and Leng Rui. Inside were Xia Zhuo, Fu Chunguang, and the four security guards—though these men didn't actually need to be escorted. With sedatives stuck to their heads, they were completely at Leng Rui's mercy, unable to escape.

The two cars sped through the midnight streets, arriving at the agreed-upon hostage exchange location—a wooded area on the outskirts of Dongcheng District—twenty minutes later.

Leng Rui opened the car door, and the six "puppet masters" who controlled the cars got out and led the way. Lin Yupeng followed behind, while Xiang Kui and Deng Yuhu provided flank protection. They quickly reached the vicinity of a pavilion in the middle of the woods.

It was already 12:50 AM, ten minutes before the agreed-upon time, and the "Shuiyuntian" members had not yet appeared.

The night was quiet. A full moon, like a jade plate, hung from the treetops, its bright light spilling onto the earth. The deep blue night sky was studded with stars, like glittering gems, casting a soft, crystalline glow. Everything on earth became so still, so quiet that a chill ran through one's heart, because... Soon, a life-or-death struggle would erupt on this peaceful land!

Zhao Yanmei was indeed punctual; at exactly one o'clock in the morning, she appeared with her group of eight people in the open space opposite the pavilion. Besides Zhao Yanmei, four security guards escorted Hua Meiyu's parents and He Wenwen—these three were the hostages Lin Yupeng had specifically requested in exchange.

Chapter 770: Gunshots Ring Out in the Forest .

Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed with a sharp light, brighter than the stars in the sky, sharper than a knife's edge. He quickly scanned the three hostages he wanted, carefully verifying their identities.

Hua Meiyu's parents were middle-aged, approaching fifty; Lin Yupeng had seen their photos before and recognized them immediately. He had also seen He Wenwen's photo. After confirming everything was correct, he felt relieved; it seemed Zhao Yanmei hadn't played any tricks and had indeed brought the three hostages.

Seeing Lin Yupeng remain silent for a long time... Looking in her direction, she knew Lin Yupeng was checking the hostages. She glanced in his direction and saw Xia Zhuo, Fu Chunguang, and the four security guards from Shui Yuntian standing before Lin Yupeng and Leng Rui. Their expressions were wooden and blank, only their eyes occasionally flickering, making them seem alive.

Zhao Yanmei, being a woman, was skilled in flirting and banter in romantic settings, but lacked experience in other areas. She didn't realize Xia Zhuo and the others were under a spell, thinking they were just scared. Who isn't afraid of death? Some people claim to be heroes, unafraid of death, but when faced with a life-or-death situation, they immediately cower in fear.

True heroes aren't afraid of death, but they don't seek it out.

After a while, Zhao Yanmei smiled coldly, her clear gaze shifting to Lin Yupeng's face. She asked in a cold voice, "Lin Yupeng, how do you plan to switch sides? State your reasons, and we'll proceed if it's reasonable!" "

Having said that, her alluring eyes flashed with a sharp light as she glanced around at the surrounding woods, thinking to herself, 'Have the boss's men arrived yet? There's not a single sign.' But then she thought, 'If there were any signs, wouldn't Lin Yupeng have already discovered them? The boss's men are probably already in ambush! Heh heh, Lin Yupeng, you little brat, tonight I'll make sure you come up empty-handed! You'll even lose your life!'"

Lin Yupeng's eyes darted around, secretly thinking, "Li Zhanbo's men must have been lying in ambush beforehand. I wonder how many men that mysterious boss sent! If a fight breaks out, it's best to finish it quickly. If we're unlucky enough to be caught by the police, that would be troublesome!"

Both sides were in cahoots, and after a long silence, Lin Yupeng remembered Zhao Yanmei's question. His eyes darted around, and he said in a deep voice, "Actually, changing the people is very simple. We'll bring everyone to the pavilion, count to three, one, two, three, and then release them all at once! Miss Zhao Yanmei, what do you think?"

Zhao Yanmei's gaze flickered, but she nodded and said seriously, "Lin Yupeng, we'll do it your way! But I want to remind you with your own words..." "You, don't try anything funny!"

Lin Yupeng laughed heartily. "Don't worry! I won't joke around with people's lives!" Suddenly remembering something, he coldly asked Zhao Yanmei, "Did He Wenwen bring the ledger she stole?"

Zhao Yanmei turned and glanced at He Wenwen, asking in a deep voice, "I'm asking you! Did you bring the ledger?"

At this moment, He Wenwen knew she was about to fall into Lin Yupeng's hands, and her heart was filled with panic. But she still held onto a sliver of hope: the ledger. If she could return the ledger to Lin Yupeng, she could at least save her life. As for what kind of punishment she would receive, she didn't know. Upon hearing Zhao Yanmei's question, she immediately nodded vigorously, pulled a palm-sized ledger from her pocket, and waved it in front of Lin Yupeng.

Lin Yupeng smiled coldly, not bothering to verify the authenticity of the ledger. Anyway, He Wenwen would be in his hands soon, and then he could have whatever he wanted.

"Lin Yupeng, you've seen it all, right? Can we change the hostages now?" Zhao Yanmei asked coldly. "Yes, let's start now!" Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he said coldly. Zhao Yanmei smiled coldly upon hearing this, waved to her subordinates, and pushed Hua Meiyu's parents and He Wenwen to the front. Lin Yupeng also brought Xia Zhuo, Fu Chunguang, and four security guards over. Of course, these people were all under Leng Rui's control. As long as the mind-control pills on their heads weren't removed, they would remain "puppets" forever.

Seeing that the hostages were all in the designated positions, Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed sharply, and he said to Zhao Yanmei solemnly, "I'm going to count now, one, two..." He probably stretched out the "two" a bit so that both sides' hostages would be mentally prepared.

"Three!" Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed with a cold, electric light like a sharp blade as he shouted out the final number. Leng Rui then chanted a few incantations, and the "puppets" began to walk quickly towards Zhao Yanmei.

At this moment, Hua Meiyu's parents and He Wenwen also rushed towards Lin Yupeng. Just as both groups of hostages reached their respective camps, a clear voice suddenly rang out from the depths of the woods: "President Lin, lie down!"

Lin Yupeng recognized Li Zhanbo's voice. His mind reacted extremely quickly, and his body moved with the agility of a hawk, leaping up and tackling Hua Meiyu's parents to the ground. Deng Yuhu also made a side tackle, pinning He Wenwen to the ground, and Leng Rui also ducked down.

Immediately afterward, a burst of gunfire rang out from the woods, and several bullets whizzed past Lin Yupeng's head. If it weren't for his quick reaction and agility, he would have been shot and forced to retreat. He couldn't help but think how close he had come to disaster; thankfully, Li Zhanbo's shout had come just in time.

Deng Yuhu and Leng Rui, who were lying on the ground, quickly drew their pistols and fired at Zhao Yanmei and her four security guards. In an instant, the four guards were shot and fell into pools of blood. They were all shot in the calves; they wouldn't die, nor could they run away, and were incapacitated.

Zhao Yanmei screamed like a pig being slaughtered and ran towards the edge of the woods. Deng Yuhu reacted quickly, raising his hand and firing a shot that struck her plump buttocks. She screamed and fell to the ground with a thud.

Gunfire continued to ring out from the woods, but it wasn't coming towards the clearing. Two groups of people were fighting in the woods. Five minutes later, the gunfire suddenly stopped, and everything returned to calm.

Lin Yupeng felt a surge of tension. He didn't know if Li Zhanbo could hold out. He had no doubt about Li Zhanbo's abilities, but if the other side outnumbered him, there was still a chance of something going wrong.

When Li Zhanbo's voice rang out again, Lin Yupeng felt relieved. He heard Li Zhanbo shout, "President Lin, I've taken them all down! How's the situation on your end?"

Lin Yupeng stood up and helped Hua Meiyu's parents up as well. Seeing the two elders' panicked expressions, he quickly smiled and explained, "Don't be afraid, I'm Miss Hua Meiyu's friend. She asked me to come and rescue you!"

Just then, five people emerged from the woods, led by Li Zhanbo!

Chapter 771 A Triumphant Return

Li Zhanbo was carrying a German MP7 submachine gun, and his four team members were also carrying Browning high-powered pistols. Two of the team members were supporting a masked man in black with an arm injury, presumably the leader of the attackers.

Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he asked in a deep voice, "Uncle Li, what happened? How many people did they send?"

Li Zhanbo replied in a deep voice, "There were eight people in total. I killed three of them, and the other four are injured and lying in the woods! I captured the leader after wounding him!"

Lin Yupeng nodded, his eyes gleaming, and stepped forward to the masked leader in black. He sized him up, noticing that the leader wore a black mask, revealing only a pair of cold, bright eyes filled with resentment, like a wounded wolf.

Lin Yupeng smiled coldly, then suddenly reached out and ripped off the mask, revealing his true face. His complexion was dark and shiny, and his bright eyes were clear and bright, radiating youthful vigor and arrogance. He was none other than Qin Xi, Zhang Yueran's capable henchman and former deputy director of the security department of the Tianqiong Group!

"Oh, isn't this Vice Minister Qin? A pleasure to meet you!" Lin Yupeng sized up Qin Xi and chuckled dryly. This time, he was certain. "Shuiyuntian" was definitely Zhang Yueran's secret business. This guy had been the president of Tianqiong Group for many years, possessing considerable power and a large following. As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows; with his resources, opening a luxurious nightclub wouldn't be difficult.

Qin Xi was Zhang Yueran's best friend and naturally hated Lin Yupeng to the core. His eyes glared like steamed buns as he stared intently at Lin Yupeng, his arms trembling as if he were fighting a cornered beast.

The two bodyguards holding Qin Xi were all highly skilled, their martial arts prowess was not to be underestimated, and either one could easily subdue him. Seeing Qin Xi still trying to flail around like a chick, the two immediately engaged in a contest of strength. With two crisp "crack" sounds, Qin Xi's arms were pulled free from the rings, hanging limply at his sides. Large beads of sweat rolled down his back from the pain, and he had no strength left to resist.

Lin Yupeng coldly watched him, chuckling dryly, "Qin Xi, to be honest, I used to have a good impression of you, but now I think you're incredibly stupid! As the saying goes, a wise man submits to circumstances. You've followed Zhang Yueran wholeheartedly, but what has he given you in return? You're just his dog! You have no choice but to serve him to the death!"

Qin Xi's face turned ashen with anger. No matter how Lin Yupeng mocked him, he clenched his teeth and remained silent, displaying an unyielding stance.

"Where's Zhang Yueran? Is he still alive? Where is he?" Lin Yupeng's pupils contracted sharply, two needle-like glints shooting out as they pierced Qin Xi's face, his tone icy.

Qin Xi smiled contemptuously, remaining silent and refusing to speak, sticking out his defenses.

Lin Yupeng knew this guy was a die-hard; getting the truth out of him would be quite a challenge. He turned to Li Zhanbo and said in a deep voice, "Bury the three dead ones, and take the living ones with you!"

With that, Lin Yupeng escorted Hua Meiyu's parents out of the woods, got into the Ford sedan, and sped into the city.

Tonight was a resounding victory. Li Zhanbo, Deng Yuhu, and Leng Rui, having finished clearing the battlefield, escorted the prisoners of the day—including Qin Xi, Xia Zhuo, Fu Chunguang, Zhao Yanmei, He Wenwen, and the security guards—a total of seventeen people, back to Tianqiong Group in two vehicles, temporarily storing them in the underground warehouse to await further action.

Lin Yupeng returned to the Sky Dome Building and first took Hua Meiyu's parents to the presidential suite on the top floor to arrange a meeting with Hua Meiyu.

When Hua Meiyu saw that Lin Yupeng had indeed lived up to his words and rescued her parents whom she had been longing for, her gratitude towards him was boundless.

Lin Yupeng arranged a luxurious suite for the family and assigned dedicated staff to take care of their daily needs. Given the current situation, the family of three needed strict protection and could not leave the Sky Dome Building without his permission, lest they fall victim to the mysterious "boss."

After everything was arranged, it was already past 3 a.m., but Lin Yupeng couldn't rest yet. The people he had just captured needed to be interrogated overnight to try and extract as much information as possible.

Lin Yupeng dialed Li Zhanbo's number and said in a deep voice, "Uncle Li, please prepare. I need to interrogate them. I'm afraid they might not tell the truth. It would be best to get some torture instruments or something to scare them!"

Li Zhanbo responded and immediately hung up the phone. Half an hour later, he called Lin Yupeng: "President Lin, everything is ready, you can come over!"

Lin Yupeng hung up the phone, immediately left his office, took the elevator directly to the first floor of the Sky Dome Building. It was already dawn, the time when most people were sleeping soundly, but the first floor of the Sky Dome Building was still heavily guarded, with a team of security guards vigilantly guarding the entrance and other important exits.

Under the stairwell in the lobby on the first floor, there was an underground warehouse, in a relatively secluded location, divided into inner and outer rooms, usually used to store medicines and medical equipment.

Lin Yupeng arrived at the entrance of the underground warehouse, and the two security guards at the door opened it. He stepped inside, and a blast of cold air hit him as he entered the inner room.

There he saw Qin Xi, Xia Zhuo, Fu Chunguang, Zhao Yanmei, and He Wenwen, five important figures, bound with ropes, each hanging upright with their feet off the ground like lambs to the slaughter.

Li Zhanbo, Deng Yuhu, and Leng Rui stood opposite them, surrounded by several of Chairman Jin's bodyguards and the group's security guards.

"President Lin, you've arrived!" Deng Yuhu and Leng Rui walked over in unison, bowing respectfully. Li Zhanbo, being of the same generation as Chairman Jin, simply smiled and nodded at Lin Yupeng.

Lin Yupeng chuckled, his eyes flashing as he scanned the room. Suddenly, he burst out laughing. He had noticed a charcoal brazier next to Li Zhanbo, three times larger than a regular wooden tray, on which a large triangular branding iron was burning, constantly emitting red light and white smoke.

Lin Yupeng thought to himself, "This Li Zhanbo is really ruthless. I asked him to get some torture instruments, and he even prepared branding irons. Branding is one of the most severe and brutal tortures in ancient times. No matter what kind of martial arts the victim has practiced, they can't avoid it. One brand can burn a large chunk of flesh; the feeling is worse than death!"

His gaze then fell on the charcoal brazier, where there was a large wooden basin filled with a bowl of cold water. There was also a large leather whip in the basin. Lin Yupeng had used this method before; the whip was dipped in cold water, euphemistically called "a wide strip crossing the water surface. "

Chapter 772 Court Hearing

"Mr. Lin, please have a seat!" Deng Yuhu moved a chair over and placed it in front of Lin Yupeng, saying in a deep voice.

Lin Yupeng smiled slightly, leaned down, and sat down. Opposite him were the five "prisoners" who were hanging up. He was now getting a feel for the ancient officials "holding court to hear cases."

"Captain Li, you can go back and rest. I'll interrogate these people first, and I'll report to Chairman Jin after I get their confessions!" Lin Yupeng turned to Li Zhanbo and smiled.

"Okay, I'm going back now, goodbye!" Li Zhanbo left the underground warehouse with his men.

Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed sharply as they landed on He Wenwen, who was hanging on the far right. This woman had a somewhat purplish complexion, and her fair face was pale, with a look of terror in her large eyes.

"President Lin, this is the ledger we found on her!" Leng Rui walked over and handed a palm-sized ledger to Lin Yupeng, speaking respectfully.

Lin Yupeng nodded, took the ledger, and carefully read a few pages. It was basically a record of transactions by the Tianqiong Group involving the trafficking of prostitutes to entertainment venues in several Southeast Asian countries—Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines. The records were quite detailed, including the transacting parties, locations, amounts, and the names of the prostitutes.

"Isn't this just giving the police evidence?" Lin Yupeng cursed under his breath, pulled out his phone, and dialed Qiao Fenny's number. After a few rings, Qiao Fenny's lazy voice came from the other end. It was only 4 a.m.; she was definitely asleep.

"This is Lin Yupeng. Come to the basement right now!" Lin Yupeng said coldly.

Qiao Fenny was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly replied, "I'm coming right away, in ten minutes!" After saying that, she quickly hung up the phone. If Lin Yupeng called her, she had to come no matter what time it was. Qiao Fenny had a vague feeling that something serious had happened.

Not long after, Qiao Fenny arrived in the basement, all dressed up. Lin Yupeng didn't have time to look at her; he handed her the ledger directly and said seriously, "Sister Fenny, take a look first. Is this the original?"

Qiao Fenny carefully flipped through the ledger, her expression suddenly darkening. She said coldly, "President Lin, this isn't the original. It's a copy. Although it imitates my handwriting, it's not mine. I can recognize my own handwriting!"

Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed coldly as he stared intently at He Wenwen and asked in a deep voice, "He Wenwen, where is the original ledger?"

Even now, He Wenwen still held onto a sliver of hope and answered in a trembling voice, "That...that's the original!" She herself felt unsure of herself.

Qiao Fenny, her eyebrows raised in fury, jumped in front of He Wenwen and slapped her more than ten times across the face, yelling, "He Wenwen, you bitch! Don't you know how to write? Tell me where the original ledger is, or I'll skin you alive!"

He Wenwen's mouth was oozing blood from the beatings. Knowing she would suffer if she didn't tell the truth, she secretly glanced at Xia Zhuo and Zhao Yanmei, who were also hanging in mid-air, and said sweetly, "Sister Fenny, please don't hit me. I'll tell the truth, okay? President Xia took the original ledger. The one I have..." "It was Sister Zhao who had someone copy it at the last minute!"

Lin Yupeng thought to himself with a cold laugh. "This woman is really shameless. She won't tell the truth unless I beat her up!"

Qiao Fenny didn't know which one was Xia Zhuo, so she returned to Lin Yupeng's side and said in a deep voice, "President Lin, she said she gave the original ledger to that Xia Zhuo!"

Actually, Lin Yupeng had already heard He Wenwen's words. His eyes flashed coldly as he glared at Qiao Fenny, thinking to himself, "It's all because of you, woman, that you had to rush to get the ledger and cause this trouble!"

Qiao Fenny could tell that Lin Yupeng was angry with her, and her heart pounded. She was too scared to speak and stood obediently beside Lin Yupeng.

Lin Yupeng's cold gaze fell on Xia Zhuo's face. He saw that Xia Zhuo's eyes were slightly closed, his face was pale, and he was bound and suspended, feeling numb and tingling. Xia Zhuo was bound and suspended, and the feeling was extremely uncomfortable.

"Xia Zhuo, where did you put the original ledger?" Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed sharply as he stared at Xia Zhuo and asked coldly.

At this moment, Leng Rui had removed the sleeping pill from Xia Zhuo's head. Although his mind was still a little dizzy, his consciousness had basically returned to normal. He heard Lin Yupeng's question, but kept his head down and remained silent.

Just then, a security guard strode over, grabbed Xia Zhuo's slicked-back hair, and asked sternly, "Xia Zhuo, our boss Lin is asking you a question! Where is the ledger? Are you going to tell me or not?"

Xia Zhuo opened his eyes, glared fiercely at the security guard, smiled coldly, and still remained silent.

Lin Yupeng chuckled wickedly, grabbed a leather whip from the large wooden basin, and brandished it at Xia Zhuo, saying threateningly, "Xia Zhuo, if you don't talk, we'll make you suffer today! Look how thick this whip is! If it hits, every strike will leave a deep, bloody welt. Then we'll rub salt into your wounds—it'll feel incredibly good!"

Xia Zhuo glanced indifferently at the whip in Lin Yupeng's hand, his face showing terror, and his body trembled involuntarily.

Lin Yupeng thought to himself, "So you're all bark and no bite. You're used to being pampered; you must be terrified of pain!"

"Will you talk or not?" the security guard demanded, grabbing Xia Zhuo's hair.

Xia Zhuo's expression darkened. He gritted his teeth and said coldly, "President Lin, I'll talk! The ledger isn't in my hands; it's with our boss!"

Lin Yupeng's eyes suddenly flashed, his pupils contracting to needles as he stared intently at Xia Zhuo, coldly demanding, "Who is your boss?"

Xia Zhuo was taken aback, then fell silent again. Lin Yupeng smiled coldly and turned to Deng Yuhu beside him, saying, "Minister Deng, take a whip and give him a good beating. Beat him hard, as hard as you can, and see if he tells the truth!"

Deng Yuhu smiled sinisterly, reached for a leather whip soaked in cold water, and strode towards Xia Zhuo. Before he could even raise the whip, Xia Zhuo surrendered.

Lin Yupeng guessed correctly; he was indeed most afraid of pain. He yelled, "Don't hit me! Don't hit me! I'll tell you, okay? Our boss's name is Zhang Yueran!"

Hearing this, Lin Yupeng thought to himself with resentment, "Damn it, it really is him! This guy is really resilient; he didn't even drown after falling into the sea?" Thinking back, he himself had fallen into the sea during his own shipwreck and drifted for several days, yet he hadn't died either.

With that in mind, he stared coldly at Xia Zhuo and asked in a deep voice, "Where is Zhang Yueran now?"

Xia Zhuo looked confused and shook his head, saying, "Mr. Lin, I don't know. I've only been in contact with him by phone recently!"

Chapter 773: Interrogating Qin Xi

"You're not telling the truth? Beat him!" Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed with a chilling murderous intent as he shouted sharply.

Just as Deng Yuhu raised the whip, before it could even fall, Xia Zhuo burst into tears, pleading, "President Lin, I really don't know where he is! Even if you beat me to death, I still won't know!" He then turned to Qin Xi beside him and shouted sharply, "Qin Xi knows! Ask him! Please don't hit me!"

"Wait! Stop!" Lin Yupeng immediately stopped Deng Yuhu. His eyes darted around; seeing Xia Zhuo's desperate cries, it seemed he truly didn't know Zhang Yueran's whereabouts. Previously, when he had monitored Xia Zhuo, he had only seen the two communicating by phone; Zhang Yueran had never shown his face. This guy was always elusive and secretive; unless it was someone very close to him, he was impossible to find.

Thinking this, Lin Yupeng abruptly stood up, his eyes gleaming, and strode towards Qin Xi.

Qin Xi turned her head with difficulty, glared fiercely at Xia Zhuo, and said hatefully, "Pah! You coward!"

At this moment, Lin Yupeng had already walked up to Qin Xi, chuckled dryly, and said, "Qin Xi, so you're not mute after all? Tell me, where is Zhang Yueran? As long as you tell the truth, I can let you go and spare you from physical suffering!"

Qin Xi adopted a posture of facing death without fear, smiled coldly, and said sharply, "I don't know! Lin Yupeng, if you have the guts, kill me!"

Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he stared intently at Qin Xi and sneered, " "Want to die? Not so easy!" With that, he turned to Deng Yuhu, who was holding a leather whip, and ordered in a deep voice, "Minister Deng, give him a good beating! I refuse to believe that there are still people in this world who aren't afraid of being beaten or dying!"

Deng Yuhu smiled sinisterly. He had long harbored a grudge against Qin Xi. Back in the Tianqiong Group, after he was dismissed from his position as deputy minister for a minor mistake, Qin Xi took over his position, showing him arrogance and disdain, which infuriated him. Today, Qin Xi had finally crossed him, and it was time to vent his anger!

"Qin Xi, considering that we've worked together for many years, I'll give you another chance. Where is Zhang Yueran? Where did that ledger go?" Deng Yuhu waved the leather whip in front of Qin Xi, his large, bell-like eyes flashing with a chilling light, and asked coldly.

Qin Xi seemed not to hear his question, lowering his head and remaining silent, adopting a hunched posture.

Enraged, Deng Yuhu realized his words had been wasted. He abruptly raised his hand and lashed the whip across Qin Xi's body with a resounding crack, tearing his clothes and revealing a bloody welt beneath.

Qin Xi groaned, his eyes tightly shut, his teeth clenched, remaining silent and enduring the pain.

Deng Yuhu, burning with fury, unleashed a torrent of whippings upon Qin Xi. In an instant, Qin Xi's upper garments were ripped apart, leaving him a bloody mess, blood gushing from his wounds.

Qin Xi's face contorted in agony, his teeth chattering, large beads of sweat mingling with blood, dripping onto the ground. Finally, the pain caused him to faint.

Xia Zhuo, standing nearby, also fainted. Although he hadn't been hit by a single whip, he was terrified by Qin Xi's miserable state and became dazed as well. Zhao Yanmei and He Wenwen were horrified, their faces pale and their eyes tightly shut.

Fu Chunguang, as expected of the security captain of "Shuiyuntian," was indeed a tough guy, his expression remaining calm and composed. However, he was merely one of Xia Zhuo's henchmen and of no use to Lin Yupeng.

"President Lin, should we continue? He's passed out!" Deng Yuhu, seeing Qin Xi had fainted, hurriedly stopped and turned to Lin Yupeng, asking in a deep voice.

Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed sharply as he sized up the unconscious Qin Xi, secretly admiring this guy's stubbornness and steely resolve.

"Wake him up!" Lin Yupeng hesitated for a moment before coldly ordering.

Deng Yuhu found a bowl of cold water and splashed it hard on Qin Xi's face. Qin Xi jolted awake, slowly opening his eyes. His eyes flashed with a sharp light; despite the inhuman beating, his spirit remained unbroken.

"Qin Xi? If you don't talk, you're in for a world of hurt! That was just a warm-up; I haven't even used the real torture yet!" Lin Yupeng sneered, fiddling with the large branding iron in the charcoal brazier in front of him.

Qin Xi glanced at the red-hot iron, snorted, and simply closed his eyes, displaying a fearless heroic spirit.

A flash of lightning appeared in Lin Yupeng's eyes. He abruptly stood up, grabbed the red-hot iron, and strode to Qin Xi, coldly saying, "Qin Xi, will you talk or not? If you don't, this branding iron will scorch a large patch of your flesh!"

Qin Xi kept his eyes tightly shut, gritting his teeth, awaiting the inhuman torture.

Lin Yupeng brandished the iron, chuckling dryly, "To be honest, I really admire Zhang Yueran. This guy actually raised a dog like you who's willing to risk his life for him. Too bad, you're about to become a dead dog!"

With that, he pushed the iron towards Qin Xi's chest, but he didn't actually burn his skin; he just let him feel the temperature of the tip.

Qin Xi's body convulsed, large beads of sweat pouring down his face. He gritted his teeth and said, word by word, "Lin Yupeng, just kill me! I'd rather die than talk!"

Lin Yupeng sighed and put the iron down. He never intended to use such torture on Qin Xi. He had always admired tough guys like him, but unfortunately, Qin Xi wasn't one of his own. He knew that even if he used such torture today, Qin Xi wouldn't confess, and might even torture him to death.

Lin Yupeng put the branding iron back in its place, suddenly remembering that he had also arrested four of Qin Xi's thugs earlier that day. Since these men were with Qin Xi, did they not know Zhang Yueran's whereabouts? "Bring all four bastards Qin Xi brought here. I want to question them!" Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed sharply as he stared at Deng Yuhu and said in a deep voice.

Soon, the four men were brought over by the Tianqiong Group's security guards. They had been held captive in a corner of the warehouse. Their masks had been pulled off, and their faces were filled with fear, their eyes dim.

Lin Yupeng picked up the branding iron again and waved it in front of them, asking sternly, "Which of you knows where Zhang Yueran is hiding? Tell me, and I'll release you immediately!"

Upon seeing the red-hot iron, the four men were immediately terrified, their faces showing utter horror.

Chapter 774

Ruthless Tactics

One of the security guards, his face contorted in pain, stammered, "Mr. Lin, we don't know anything!"

Lin Yupeng's face darkened, and he shouted sternly, "Bullshit! You're all Qin Xi's men, how could you not know where Zhang Yueran is? Not telling the truth, are you? Today I'll let you all have your fill of braised pork!" With that, he picked up a branding iron and was about to push it towards the man.

"Mr. Lin, spare us! We really don't know anything, we're not Qin Xi's men, we're security guards from 'Shuiyuntian'!" the man cried out, his face ashen with fear.

A security guard standing nearby said in a trembling voice, "President Lin, please have mercy! We really didn't lie to you. Look, we have Shuiyuntian's work IDs on us!"

Lin Yupeng waved to his men and actually found Shuiyuntian's "work IDs" on these men. They matched perfectly with the IDs found on Xia Zhuo, Fu Chunguang, Zhao Yanmei, and He Bianbian. He then woke up the unconscious Xia Zhuo to verify the information and confirmed that the four security guards were indeed from Shuiyuntian and had been temporarily seconded to Qin Xi. Of course, three others had lost their lives in the firefight in the woods.

Lin Yupeng sat in the chair, his eyes flashing with a cold, piercing light. He thought to himself, "Zhang Yueran is really cunning. He sent Qin Xi with Shuiyuntian's men to launch a surprise attack. If we're lucky, he can wipe us all out. If we're unlucky, even if we're captured, he won't be able to reveal his secrets. Zhang Yueran knows Qin Xi too well; he knows he'll never betray him!" Just

as he was pondering this, his phone suddenly rang, sounding particularly jarring in the gloomy, dark basement that felt like hell on earth.

Lin Yupeng took out his phone and saw it was Li Zhanbo's number. He quickly pressed the answer button and said seriously, "Uncle Li, what's the matter?"

Li Zhanbo said in a deep voice on the other end of the phone, "President Lin, Chairman Jin wants you to come over!"

"Okay, I'll be right there!" Lin Yupeng hung up the phone, glanced at his watch. After all this commotion, it was already past six in the morning. He took out a bottle of external wound medicine from his briefcase, handed it to Deng Yuhu, and said seriously, "Minister Deng, apply this medicine to Qin Xi. This person is still useful to us; we can't let him die like this! I need to see Chairman Jin. Put those five people hanging there down!"

"Okay, understood!" Deng Yuhu took the medicine bottle, inwardly chuckling bitterly, "This is great, after beating someone up, I still have to treat his injuries!"

Lin Yupeng grinned at Qin Xi for a while, then left the underground warehouse, took the elevator to the presidential suite where Jin Tai was staying on the top floor. He saw Jin Tai sitting on the sofa in the center of the living room, a pot of fragrant tea on the coffee table in front of him, emitting a refreshing aroma.

"Yupeng, sit down! How's the interrogation of those people going?" Jin Tai stared at Lin Yupeng and asked in a deep voice.

Lin Yupeng leaned down and sat on the sofa opposite him, answering solemnly, "We only found out that Zhang Yueran isn't dead, but only Qin Xi knows his exact location, and he'd rather die than say!"

Jin Tai's eyes flashed with a sudden glint of electricity, and he pondered, "Zhang Yueran really isn't dead! I guessed it long ago! All the recent signs indicate that he's still alive, and his activities are rampant, posing a huge threat to our group! Don't forget he used to be our group's president!"

Lin Yupeng's expression was grave, and he said in a deep voice, "Yes! I'm trying to find a way to pry open Qin Xi's mouth, find Zhang Yueran's hiding place, and wipe out his people!"

Jin Tai nodded and asked in a deep voice, "Yupeng, did you torture Qin Xi?"

Lin Yupeng answered solemnly, "I did, but this kid won't confess even if he dies. This is a difficult situation!"

A strange and cold glint suddenly flashed in Jin Tai's eyes. A chilling glint flashed in his eyes as he said ominously, "Qin Xi is Zhang Yueran's trusted confidant, so naturally, you can't tame him by normal means! Unless..." His tone became even more sinister as he stared intently at Lin Yupeng, enunciating each word clearly, "Unless you use a special trick!"

Lin Yupeng's heart skipped a beat, a look of doubt appearing on his face. He asked coldly, "A special trick? What special trick?"

Jin Tai sneered, "Yupeng, don't forget what I'm used to? Drugs! Using drugs to pry open Qin Xi's mouth, hehe, I've never met anyone who could withstand the test of drugs in my life! No matter how strong his will is, he'll succumb to drugs!"

Lin Yupeng's face turned cold, two cold, sharp glints flashing in his eyes. His heart trembled violently as he asked in a deep voice, "You mean to give Qin Xi drugs, so that when his withdrawal symptoms kick in, he..." "Won't he succumb to the erosion of addiction and tell the truth?"

Jin Tai chuckled coldly. "That's right! I don't believe Qin Xi can resist the temptation of drugs! At that time, he will have no choice but to obey our orders and say whatever he wants!"

Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said seriously, "Isn't this a bit too cruel?

I still prefer to use a combination of soft and hard tactics, and perhaps with some effort

, we can persuade Qin Xi to change his mind!" Jin Tai's eyes radiated a fierce killing intent, and he sneered, "Yupeng, why are you hesitant and soft-hearted at this time? Zhang Yueran is our mortal enemy now, and Qin Xi is his loyal lackey. Don't have any illusions about him. Only by using my method can we pry open Qin Xi's mouth, find Zhang Yueran's hiding place, and capture him in one fell swoop!"

Lin Yupeng shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "If Qin Xi finds out..." "We've given him drugs. With that stubborn kid, he might just bite his tongue and commit suicide. Then we'll have wasted our time!"

Jin Tai's sharp, cold, and eerily sinister eyes flashed suddenly as he said sinisterly, "We'll need to use some tricks. We'll slowly poison his food, letting him become addicted without realizing it. By the time he realizes it, it'll be too late. He probably won't even have the courage to commit suicide! Hehe, Yu Peng, don't worry, leave this to Deng Yuhu. It'll be absolutely foolproof! He'll probably get Qin Xi to confess within a week!"

Lin Yu Peng sighed. He knew that once Jin Tai made up his mind, it was hard to change it. He wasn't the highest leader of the Tianqiong Group yet, so he could only follow his orders. The reason Lin Yu Peng had objected earlier was mainly because he felt that this was too cruel.

Seeing the hesitation on Lin Yupeng's face, Jin Tai hurriedly advised in a cold voice, "Yupeng, we have to resort to extreme measures now! Zhang Yueran is our biggest threat, and we must eliminate him as soon as possible!" Lin Yupeng smiled faintly and asked in a deep voice, "What about those security guards we captured last night, as well as Xia Zhuo, Fu

Chunguang, Zhao Yanmei, and He Bianbian?" Jin Tai pondered and said, "Send those security guards to the Philippines as laborers. I have a gold mine on Mindanao Island, which is being jointly mined with the 'New People's Army,' a guerrilla force based there. We're short of manpower right now! Those guys are perfect for working there. As for Xia Zhuo and the others, keep them in the group's underground warehouse for now. Keeping a few hostages is good for us!"

After saying that, his eyes flashed sharply as he stared at Lin Yupeng and said with concern, "Yupeng, you must be very tired after working all night last night. Go and rest, you'll be at work a little later today!"

Lin Yupeng nodded, said goodbye to Jin Tai, and returned to his presidential suite. He was full of energy and not sleepy at all. He opened his laptop, and the operating system of the Little Flying Insect appeared. At this moment, the monitoring screen was completely black.

Lin Yupeng suddenly remembered that Little Flying Insect No. 3 had been hanging on Xia Zhuo's underwear. Fortunately, he hadn't really hit him during the interrogation. Damaging the person was a minor matter, but if the Little Flying Insect had been damaged, it would have been difficult to repair.

He hurriedly manipulated the Little Flying Insect to leave Xia Zhuo's body. He saw that the basement was dimly lit, and all the prisoners were tightly bound with ropes, sitting in a row against the wall, guarded by dedicated personnel, making escape impossible.

Tianqiong Group has always had many methods for managing and persecuting people, so Lin Yupeng didn't need to worry about any problems. He manipulated Little Flying Insect No. 3 to fly out of the basement and head straight for "Shuiyuntian" to see what the situation was like there.

When Little Flying Insect arrived at the entrance of Shuiyuntian, Lin Yupeng was immediately shocked. Shuiyuntian was already closed down. There was only a sign hanging at the entrance with four large characters hastily written in watercolor: "Temporarily Closed." There was no reason given, and the parking lot was deserted. Yesterday it was bustling with cars and people, but today it was deserted.

Lin Yupeng thought to himself, "I've arrested all the key people in charge of Shuiyuntian. Without a leader, it's understandable that it's temporarily closed. But Zhang Yueran is still nowhere to be found. Do I really have to use drugs to pry Qin Xi's mouth open?"

Even now, he still disagreed with Jin Tai's extreme approach. It was too despicable and immoral, but Qin Xi was very stubborn, and he couldn't find any other way.

Since "Shuiyuntian" was closed, it was no longer of any use for surveillance. Lin Yupeng's little flying insect couldn't be idle, so he maneuvered it back to the initial surveillance location—the Gao Mansion.

Today was Monday, and Gao Yi had gone to work at the State Council. Gao Ya and Cheng Xu were probably on their honeymoon and weren't at the Gao Mansion. Lin Yupeng temporarily placed Little Flying Insect No. 3 in Gao Yi's living room, planning to monitor him again when he returned in the evening.

Lin Yupeng spent the morning in the bedroom, had lunch, and went to work in the office in the afternoon. Three days passed without any progress in monitoring Gao Yi. Now, with New Year's Day approaching, Yanjing City was filled with a festive atmosphere.

During these three days, Lin Yupeng visited Hua Meiyu's family whenever he had free time. Although their movements were restricted, they were doing quite well. The fifty-story Sky Dome Building offered a complete package of food, drinks, entertainment, and accommodation, and there was even a sightseeing elevator that took them to a small pavilion on the rooftop to overlook the entire city. They could live there for a year or two without feeling cramped.

Lin Yupeng had given prior instructions that Hua Meiyu and her family of three would be given free passage wherever they went, and all expenses would be covered. Hua Meiyu's gratitude towards Lin Yupeng was overflowing, and the gentle waves in her beautiful eyes seemed to transcend mere friendship.

He even took some time to accompany Hua Meiyu to the mall to buy a lot of clothes, some for herself and some for her parents. Of course, their shopping trip was always under the strict protection of the group's security guards; the current situation was serious, and they had to strengthen their precautions.

Lin Yupeng knew what was going on; he knew Hua Meiyu's heart, and she would offer herself to him willingly. She had already made her decision three days ago.

In addition, during these three days, Lin Yupeng left the prisoners in the basement alone, entrusting the task of slowly cultivating Qin Xi's drug addiction to Deng Yuhu, who would inform him once he had uncovered some intelligence.

That evening, Lin Yupeng was monitoring the Gao mansion from his bedroom when he heard a light knock on the door. He quickly minimized the operating system of his computer, closed the laptop, and opened the door. His eyes lit up when he saw Hua Meiyu, whom he had been longing for, standing gracefully in the doorway!

She was dressed exceptionally beautifully today, wearing a white silk dress that tautly accentuated her full, high breasts, revealing her smooth, white arms and shoulders. The dress perfectly showcased the exquisite curves of her youthful body. The dress was gently tied at the waist with a thin belt, and the two front panels overlapped, partially covering her sexy, rounded, and fair legs. A fringe around the hem added a touch of lightness, elegance, and playful charm.

Hua Meiyu wore light makeup, which further accentuated her pure and beautiful temperament. Her entire being exuded a breathtaking beauty, causing Lin Yupeng's heart to flutter. Every time he saw her, she gave him a powerful shock!

Her willow-leaf eyebrows, clear and beautiful eyes, delicate nose, soft and moist lips, and beautifully shaped cheeks were perfectly combined on her fair and delicate face. Coupled with her elegant, noble, pure, and holy temperament, she truly seemed like a fairy descended to earth, captivating all who beheld her.

Lin Yupeng felt his mouth go dry, as if a small flame was rising within him. He quickly suppressed it with reason, gave Hua Meiyu a carefree smile, and said, "Meiyu, is there something you need?" This was purely making conversation; why would she knock on his door if there was nothing wrong?

Two vibrant blushes rose on Hua Meiyu's pretty face. She nodded softly, and seeing Lin Yupeng still staring at her in a daze, she knew her charm was boundless. She smiled sweetly at Lin Yupeng and asked playfully, "What, won't you let me in?"

Lin Yupeng then snapped out of his reverie and let Hua Meiyu into the living room. The two sat down on the sofa together, and his eyes couldn't leave Hua Meiyu's body. Her smooth, black hair cascaded gently over her fragrant shoulders, her jade-like arms were as smooth and delicate as snow lotus roots, her breasts were full and firm, and her beautiful, rounded, slender legs were encased in crystal-clear stockings, which were as bright and lustrous as the moon, highlighting her graceful, slender, and breathtakingly sexy figure.

Hua Meiyu's pretty face flushed a rosy blush, and she smiled sweetly, her beautiful eyes sparkling with alluring charm as she glanced at Lin Yupeng's face. She parted her lips slightly and asked sweetly, "Brother Lin, am I really that captivating?"

Lin Yupeng chuckled, his gaze intense, and said sincerely, "Of course! In my heart

,

you're like a fairy, beautiful beyond compare!"

Hua Meiyu smiled gently, a melancholy glint suddenly flashing in her eyes, and asked softly, "Brother Lin, I..." "How long will your family be staying here?"

Lin Yupeng gazed at her intently and asked softly, "Uncle and Aunt, do you not want to stay here? Or do you not like it here?"

Hua Meiyu quickly shook her head and said, "No, no, our whole family likes it here very much. It's just that staying in such a high-class room feels like a waste. We feel ashamed to accept it if we don't do anything!"

Lin Yupeng laughed heartily. He could understand Hua Meiyu's feelings. They were living under someone else's roof. Although no one discriminated against them, on the contrary, everyone treated them with great respect, they still felt guilty.

"How about this? If you're willing to join our group, I can arrange a position for you. Our Sky Dome Group has a subsidiary, Starlight Media Group, which is quite well-known in the entertainment industry now. If you want to continue your acting career, you can develop there. You can release albums, act in movies and TV series, and I will do my best to make you a triple-threat star in film, television, and music. What do you think?"

Lin Yupeng spoke with great enthusiasm, but Hua Meiyu's pretty face remained unmoved. Hearing this, she simply smiled faintly and said sweetly, "Brother Lin, I just want to live a normal life. I don't want to be a public figure. It's too tiring!"

Lin Yupeng could understand her feelings. In fact, what he said earlier was just talk. Knowing that she wouldn't agree, he offered a second option: "Meiyu, since you don't want to be a star, how about becoming my secretary and officially becoming an employee of our group? What do you think?"

Hua Meiyu smiled sweetly, her voice tinged with worry, "But I've never been a secretary before, I'm afraid I won't do a good job!" Lin Yupeng laughed heartily, his expression serious, "You can learn! You're so smart, I believe you'll do a great job. By the way, do you know how to use a computer?"

Hua Meiyu nodded, speaking softly, "Yes, I learned about computers in college, but I haven't used them much in the last two years, so my typing is very slow!"

Lin Yupeng smiled slightly, "That's alright, you can practice slowly! Being my secretary is actually very easy, as long as you can type!"

Hua Meiyu smiled radiantly, her beauty as delicate and alluring as a blooming begonia. She stood very close to Lin Yupeng, her body... A sweet, delicate fragrance wafted into his nostrils, making Lin Yupeng feel completely relaxed, as if floating on clouds. Every cell in his body felt incredibly refreshed. Gazing at Hua Meiyu's stunningly beautiful face, he softly asked, "Meiyu, you smell so good. What perfume are you wearing?"

Hua Meiyu smiled gently, her fair cheeks flushed slightly, and replied sweetly, "Pink Enchantment!"

Lin Yupeng took a deep breath. It was a blend of refreshing grapefruit, sweet orange, spring-like lily of the valley, white water lily, and rose petals, along with a vibrant fruity scent reminiscent of pomegranate juice and pineapple. The aroma was invigorating and easily ignited a fire of desire.

Now, Lin Yupeng felt a dryness in his mouth, as if a fire was burning within him. Hua Meiyu beside him appeared even more beautiful and lovely, and he felt an urge to pluck this vibrant, fragrant, pure, and alluring flower and possess her for himself.

Hua Meiyu felt Lin Yupeng's burning, amorous gaze, and her heart pounded wildly. Tonight, she was here to offer herself.

The ambiguous atmosphere in the room suddenly intensified. Lin Yupeng suddenly felt a soft, delicate warmth on his shoulder. It turned out that Hua Meiyu had gently nestled her head on his broad shoulder, her intoxicating fragrance even more intoxicating. The woman beside him seemed to be crafted from soft, fragrant jade, so alluring that even a stone would be moved.

"Meiyu, what's this?" Lin Yupeng trembled, his gaze fixed intently on Hua Meiyu, asking knowingly.

A blush rose to Hua Meiyu's stunningly beautiful face, her eyes sparkling with a captivating light as she asked shyly, "Brother Lin, do you like me?"

Lin Yupeng gazed into her beautiful, autumn-water-like eyes and replied without hesitation, "Yes! A woman as beautiful as you, who wouldn't like you? He wouldn't be a man!" As he spoke, his hand naturally rested on her smooth, delicate shoulder, pulling her alluring body into his arms. Feeling the tenderness and smoothness of her skin, waves of intoxicating pleasure washed over him.

Hua Meiyu smiled sweetly in his arms, her pretty face flushed red like a ripe apple. Her soft, melodious voice drifted into Lin Yupeng's ears: "If you like me, please take me! I should have been yours three days ago!"

Lin Yupeng felt a surge of excitement and his blood boil, but he still retained a sliver of clarity. He turned and gazed into Hua Meiyu's beautiful eyes, as shimmering as the waters of West Lake, and softly asked, "Meiyu, I want to ask you, did you give yourself to me out of gratitude for me saving your family, or because you like me? I want to know the real answer!"

Hua Meiyu's cheeks flushed, she smiled sweetly, and said in a coquettish voice, "Of course it's because I like you, otherwise I wouldn't have given myself to you so easily!" Lin

Yupeng chuckled. He knew that Hua Meiyu had feelings for him. The events of the past few days had made her rely on him, but that wasn't enough to make her offer herself to him. It was still out of gratitude and a desire to repay a debt of gratitude. She was just good at talking and chose a reason that both she and Lin Yupeng could accept.

"She's simply a rare beauty, both inside and out, exquisitely beautiful... This book is reprinted from 16k Literature Network 6k.cn..." Lin Yupeng had long harbored the idea of possessing Hua Meiyu. Now that she had come to him of her own accord, how could he let her slip away so easily? Tonight's night was beautiful and enchanting, destined to be a night of unparalleled ecstasy!

Lin Yupeng said nothing more; he let his actions speak louder than words, pressing his lips to Hua Meiyu's delicate earlobe, gently licking and kissing it with the tip of his tongue. The intoxicating sweetness made his heart flutter.

A woman's ear is one of the most sensitive parts of her body. Hua Meiyu's body trembled, letting out a soft moan as her body went limp like a lump of mud, weakly collapsing into Lin Yupeng's arms. Her already... Hongyun's pretty face flushed even more, as delicate and alluring as a blooming peony, making one's mouth water.

Lin Yupeng felt the fire of desire within him rise rapidly, and he couldn't help but shower Hua Meiyu's flawless cheeks and slender, fair neck with a series of fiery kisses...

Chapter 777 Tender Entanglement

Chapter 777 Tender Entanglement

Hua Meiyu's skin was well-maintained, soft and delicate, like fresh tofu pudding. The wonderful touch and sweet fragrance intoxicated him, and he gradually pressed his lips to her two rosy, delicate, and moist cherry lips.

This was Hua Meiyu's first kiss, and she seemed a little flustered, her cheeks burning, her beautiful eyes so alluring they seemed to drip with water, awkwardly responding to Lin Yupeng. Their lips met, pressed tightly together.

Lin Yupeng, a master of seduction, his fiery tongue roamed within Hua Meiyu's mouth, igniting an irrepressible desire within her. She reciprocated with her delicate tongue, their tongues intertwining in a passionate embrace. They teased each other, savoring the exquisite pleasure and igniting a burning desire within them. As

he kissed Hua Meiyu's alluring lips, Lin Yupeng's hands gently caressed her exquisite face. Her smooth, delicate skin felt like it could melt at your touch, and his heart pounded with excitement. His fingers traced her flawless cheeks, carefully feeling her delicate skin. Long, beautiful eyelashes, a delicate nose, a smooth, refined chin…

Hua Meiyu's cheeks flushed crimson, her eyes alluring, her breath coming in short, soft gasps as she awkwardly yet passionately responded to him, savoring the tingling, soft pleasure.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment. Lin Yupeng felt the warm, smooth touch of her cherry lips and fragrant tongue, his

whole body throbbing with pleasure, as if he were floating on a somersault cloud. This passionate kiss lasted a long time, and Hua Meiyu's breathing gradually quickened. Her high, firm breasts rose and fell, pressing against Lin Yupeng's broad chest, creating ripples of tingling pleasure as their bodies rubbed together.

The desire within Lin Yupeng quickly spread like wildfire. His hands began to slide down, climbing up her full, firm, hemispherical breasts, gently kneading them.

"Brother Lin, may I go take a shower first?" "Hua Meiyu's pretty face was flushed with a vibrant sunset, her beautiful eyes shimmering with alluring passion as she spoke shyly.

Lin Yupeng smiled and nodded, reluctantly releasing her sexy and alluring body. He watched as her graceful and slender figure swayed like a lotus leaf in the wind as she walked towards the bathroom. Her elegant and agile steps seemed to contain a wondrous rhythm, and with the sway of her supple waist, the two beautiful, protruding peaks on her breasts trembled gently, possessing a breathtaking beauty.

Lin Yupeng secretly vowed in his heart that tonight he would use the gentlest method to obtain her flawless body." Let her experience that blissful feeling of spiritual and physical union.

Not long after, Hua Meiyu finished her bath and gracefully emerged from the bathroom, draped in a towel—Lin Yupeng's—that she had hastily found to cover herself. Her full, firm breasts and long, shapely legs were half-exposed. Having just bathed, her skin was fair and rosy, like a lotus emerging from water, even more tender and alluring.

Lin Yupeng felt a surge of excitement. Then he saw Hua Meiyu smile sweetly at him, her clear, spring-like eyes brimming with longing, the meaning unspoken: "I've already bathed, you should too!"

Lin Yupeng chuckled and said softly, "Meiyu, I'm going to take a shower too. I'll cherish you forever!"

With that, he quickly went into the bathroom, his desire already burning beneath her beauty!

After a hasty shower, Lin Yupeng emerged from the bathroom, wrapped in a towel, and went to the bedroom. He saw Hua Meiyu lying flat on the bed, and he was once again captivated by her stunning beauty and perfect body.

Hua Meiyu's beautiful body was covered only by a thin towel. Her naturally delicate face, a blend of heaven and earth, was flushed with a rosy blush, like the glow of the sunset. Her small, full lips curved into a graceful arc, vibrant, alluring, and captivating. Her jade-like nose was straight and beautiful, outlining a sexy and seductive mouth with soft, flowing lines. Her cheeks, as bright as the moon, were exquisitely beautiful.

Her skin was as white and smooth as cream, without a single blemish. Her lotus-root-like arms were delicate, white, and evenly soft, as if carved from ivory jade, crystal clear. Her beautiful legs were long, shapely, and snow-white,

exuding a captivating allure; one could imagine the intoxicating sensation of them trembling. This was a woman who could drive a man mad with desire! Lin Yupeng's eyes burned with intense lust as he strode to Hua Meiyu, still trying to remind himself that such a stunning beauty had willingly offered her precious virginity, and he must be gentle, gentle, and gentle again with her…

“So beautiful…” he exclaimed sincerely, gently lifting the towel covering Hua Meiyu's body. Instantly, his eyes lit up, and waves of blood surged through him, leaving him completely mesmerized.

Hua Meiyu wasn't wearing underwear; her flawless, beautiful body was laid bare before him. Her entire body was snow-white and flawless, her dazzlingly white skin smooth as silk. Her exquisite, undulating curves made her body seem boneless and soft as cotton. Her goddess-like, holy, and perfect body was like a snow lotus flower carved from jade, so beautiful and delicate...

Hua Meiyu's face was flushed, her beauty unparalleled, and her charming, shy, and pitiful demeanor ignited Lin Yupeng's desire. He couldn't help but let his hands roam over her body, climbing up her towering breasts that countless men coveted, kneading and caressing them, becoming the only visitor there.

Lin Yupeng smelled the pure, innocent fragrance unique to a virgin. Looking at her tense, almost fearful expression, he smiled gently and said softly, "Meiyu, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

Hua Meiyu blushed, her pretty face flushed, her heart filled with shyness and fear. Hearing Lin Yupeng's gentle reassurance, she nodded obediently, smiled sweetly at him, and whispered, "Brother Lin, please continue! I...I'm not afraid..." As she spoke, she half-bitten her bright red lips, appearing adorably resigned and ready to be taken.

Lin Yupeng chuckled. He could no longer restrain himself. Now he had to let this beautiful, ethereal woman experience the pleasure of physical intimacy before she could let go of her tension and shyness and wholeheartedly immerse herself in the ocean of joy with him.

His hands continued to caress her body, leaving ripples of delicate red like pollen wherever they touched.

"Ah... um..." Hua Meiyu's delicate face flushed crimson, her lips parted slightly, and she couldn't help but let out a shy moan, as if a soft feather had brushed against her tender, sensitive virgin heart, causing a captivating tremor. Chapter 778 Exquisite Desire

Lin Yupeng's lust instantly surged, completely intoxicated by this enchanting land of tenderness. He couldn't help but press himself against her fragrant, delicate body, kissing her bright red, tender lips once more, sucking and kissing, entwining with her delicate tongue. His hands became increasingly active, touching the girl's smooth, soft, and delicate skin. He gently caressed Hua Meiyu's slender waist, gradually moving downwards... Hua Meiyu's pure and innocent body had never been touched or kissed so intimately by a man before. Her cheeks flushed crimson, a mixture of shyness and intense physical pleasure rising within her. Involuntarily, she twisted her slender waist, cooperating with Lin Yupeng's movements. Her long, white legs rubbed together, her delicate feet gripping the sheets tightly, her ten toes like freshly blooming lily petals, white and translucent. After a passionate caress, Lin Yupeng couldn't wait to carry out the sacred ritual of union! Hua Meiyu's beautiful eyes were slightly closed, her breasts heaving, her breathing becoming rapid. Her small, white, soft hands gripped the sheets beneath her nervously, and her stunningly beautiful face was now as red as a ripe apple. "Meiyu, I love you... I'm going in..." Lin Yupeng gently kissed her beautiful face, whispering softly in her ear. "I love you too, come in! Husband!" Hua Meiyu's eyes were closed, her face flushed, and she encouraged him in a sweet voice. Hearing Hua Meiyu's soft and melodious voice call him "husband," Lin Yupeng was thrilled, his body burning with desire. He gently entered her pure and innocent body. Hua Meiyu let out a soft moan, and a few glistening tears welled up in her beautiful eyes. "Wife, does it hurt?" Lin Yupeng gently kissed away the tears on her face and asked softly. "It's okay, we can start..." Hua Meiyu smiled sweetly, biting her soft lips, and said shyly. Lin Yupeng began to move gradually, and under his guidance, Hua Meiyu began to respond enthusiastically. Her pink cheeks flushed red, her large, watery eyes were half-open, and her sexy body writhed alluringly. She had completely bid farewell to her shy girlhood and become a real woman. He had finally obtained this stunningly beautiful, elegant, and noble virgin flower. The wonderful and intoxicating sensation was beyond words, making him almost forget to breathe. He was completely immersed in that intoxicating tenderness, turning the beautiful woman beneath him into a pool of spring mud. The specks of virgin blood bloomed on the sheets like plum blossoms... This intoxicating and ecstatic pleasure lasted for most of the night. Hua Meiyu couldn't remember how many times she had reached the peak of pleasure. Waves of dizziness washed over her, and she was extremely exhausted, finally unable to continue. Lin Yupeng's lust subsided, and he reluctantly left her body, embracing her body covered in marks of passion, as he drifted off to sleep. The next morning, Lin Yupeng was the first to wake. Gazing at Hua Meiyu's lovely and alluring sleeping beauty in his arms, he felt a surge of emotion. Their bodies were naked, embracing each other, her full, firm breasts pressing against his chest, the friction of her skin sending tingling sensations through him with each breath. The soft, smooth texture of her skin was clearly etched into his mind, reigniting a strong desire to enjoy her beautiful body once more. But reason prevailed, preventing him from having such thoughts. Hua Meiyu was now his woman; he needed to cherish and love her. What his woman needed now was not physical pleasure, but rest. Lin Yupeng held her like this for over an hour. Hua Meiyu slowly opened her captivating eyes, catching Lin Yupeng's burning, yearning gaze. A blush quickly spread across her face, her beautiful eyes shimmering with a tender, seductive light. Lin Yupeng gently stroked her glossy black hair and asked softly, "Wife, does it still hurt down there?" Hua Meiyu smiled sweetly and said shyly, "It hurts a little, but it's okay!" Their bodies were tightly embraced. Hua Meiyu had also felt the intense reaction that Lin Yupeng had just experienced, and her delicate face flushed red. After a while, she suddenly raised her head, her beautiful eyes filled with ambiguous desire, and gazed at Lin Yupeng, asking in a sweet voice, "Husband, do you still want it? It doesn't hurt anymore, can I give it to you again?" Lin Yupeng smiled and shook his head, saying softly, "No, you've just lost your virginity, you need to rest!"

Looking at the love and concern that naturally flowed in his eyes, Hua Meiyu's pretty face showed a happy and sweet expression. She felt that giving her body to him was the right choice, and she couldn't help but open her red lips and say emotionally, "Husband, thank you! My body will always be yours, whenever you want it, I will give it to you!"

Lin Yupeng chuckled, turned over and sat up in bed, tightly covering her fragrant and tender body with the brocade quilt, and said softly, "Wife, you should sleep a little longer! I'll send someone to bring you bird's nest porridge in a while, eat more to nourish your body!"

After saying that, he kissed Hua Meiyu's pure and beautiful face, then got out of bed, got dressed, took out his phone and called the head chef of the revolving restaurant downstairs, asking him to personally make two nourishing breakfasts and send them over, including the bird's nest porridge he had just mentioned, emphasizing that the bird's nest should be the best "official bird's nest".

So-called "pig's nest" is formed from the solidified mucus secreted by swiftlets during their first nest building. It is pure in texture, without a single feather attached, and is considered the highest quality, the finest among bird's nests. In feudal dynasties, it was often selected as a tribute.

Since moving its group to Yanjing City, Jin Tai has devoted considerable effort to culinary delights, hiring a top-tier national chef—whose ancestors had served as imperial chefs and who possessed profound knowledge of court cuisine—as the restaurant's head chef.

Lin Yupeng, a medical expert and gourmet, believed bird's nest was excellent for nourishing yin and kidneys, and for moisturizing and beautifying the skin, making it very suitable for women who had just lost their virginity.

Soon after, his breakfast was brought over by a waiter, a fragrant aroma wafting through the air, especially the bowl of bird's nest porridge, its beautiful color and crystal-clear appearance greatly stimulating his appetite.

Hua Meiyu had already gotten up. After washing up, she had breakfast with Lin Yupeng. It was time for work, so Lin Yupeng took her downstairs to his office to familiarize her with the environment and complete some onboarding procedures. Tomorrow, she would officially begin her role as a secretary.

Two days passed peacefully at Tianqiong Group, and work proceeded smoothly. Chapter 779 Revealing the Truth

Hua Meiyu became Lin Yupeng's official secretary. Her duties were minimal; serving him tea and water and chatting with him were her main tasks—essentially, she was his personal secretary. Having worked at "Shuiyuntian" for two years, a high-class establishment known for its service, Hua Meiyu, though only a contracted singer there and never having performed such low-level services, had absorbed the skills of catering to men. She had never used them before, but now, as Lin Yupeng's personal secretary, she put her skills to good use, serving him to the point of ecstasy. Working with beautiful women can really activate brain cells, putting the brain in a highly excited state. Lin Yupeng had been feeling this way these past few days. Sometimes, the excitement got too much, and he couldn't resist anymore, throwing himself directly into Hua Meiyu's intoxicating gentle embrace. After work on Friday night, Lin Yupeng and Hua Meiyu had dinner together. Hua Meiyu and he each went to chat with their parents. Now that she was his woman, he should give her some freedom, especially given the current complex situation. Lin Yupeng still needed to focus his energy on his career. Women were just a diversion; he couldn't live without them, but he couldn't become obsessed with them. He returned to his bedroom and was about to open the Little Flying Insect's operating system to check the monitoring information on "Old Sly" and "Big Shot" Gao Yi from the past two days when his phone suddenly rang. Lin Yupeng's heart skipped a beat when he saw it was Deng Yuhu's call. He quickly answered and asked in a low voice, "Minister Deng, is something wrong?" He knew without asking that it was related to Qin Xi. He'd been gradually feeding him drugs these past few days, and it seemed to be working. Although he'd always disagreed with this approach, it was too late to turn back now; there was no turning back. "Mr. Lin, Qin Xi's withdrawal is kicking in. Should you question him yourself? I think he's about to confess!" Deng Yuhu said ominously. Lin Yupeng hesitated. He didn't want to go, but thinking of Zhang Yueran's possible hiding place and the secret ledger, he could only reply in a low voice, "I understand, I'll be right there!" He hung up, got up, left the presidential suite, took the elevator down to the underground warehouse, where he saw Leng Rui and Deng Yuhu. Qin Xi was tightly bound and hanging from the ceiling, his face ashen, eyes closed, unconscious. Lin Yupeng walked up to Deng Yuhu and asked in a deep voice, "Has Captain Li come by these past two days?" Deng Yuhu replied solemnly, "He came by yesterday, stayed for ten minutes, and then left!" Lin Yupeng nodded. He hadn't reported the loss of Qiao Fenny's ledger to Jin Tai yet, deciding to suppress the matter for now. Although Deng Yuhu was also one of Jin Tai's men, he had a close relationship with Qiao Fenny, so even if he knew about it, he wouldn't tell Jin Tai. "What happened to Qin Xi? Did you beat him again?" Lin Yupeng stared at Qin Xi and asked coldly. Deng Yuhu chuckled and replied in a deep voice, "No! He's already suffering enough even without being beaten; if we beat him any more, he'll surely die! He's having a drug withdrawal episode, and after all that commotion, he's exhausted and passed out!" A security guard pulled up a chair and placed it in front of Lin Yupeng, saying respectfully, "Mr. Lin, please sit down!" "Hmm!" Lin Yupeng nodded solemnly, leaned down to sit, and stared intently at the lifeless Qin Xi, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He recalled when Qin Xi first joined the company; his energetic and capable image had left a good impression on him. Later, even after learning that he was Zhang Yueran's close friend, he hadn't given up on trying to win him over, but had never succeeded until the two of them became adversaries. After a moment of stunned silence, Lin Yupeng hardened his heart, his eyes flashing suddenly, and said coldly, "Wake him up!" Deng Yuhu nodded and waved to his security guards. One of them carried a ladle of cold water and splashed it all over Qin Xi's face. Qin Xi jolted awake, his lifeless eyes snapping open. He glanced indifferently at Lin Yupeng, his former determination and arrogance gone, replaced by a pleading and yearning look. As his consciousness returned, the drug withdrawal kicked in. He felt as if countless tiny insects were gnawing at his limbs, the pain unbearable. He cried out, "Give me heroin! Give me an injection, please!" Looking at the utterly devastated Qin Xi, a stark contrast to his former handsome and dashing self, Lin Yupeng inwardly lamented that drugs were truly the root of all evil, capable of ravaging a person to this state. No wonder the whole world was cracking down on them! At the same time, a pang of sorrow gripped him. Did they really have to resort to such extreme and cruel methods to deal with their enemies? He felt a sudden surge of unease... After a long while, Lin Yupeng finally came to his senses, staring intently at Qin Xi, and asked seriously, "Qin Xi, as long as you tell me where Zhang Yueran is hiding, but don't try to fool me. I won't give you the heroin until we catch Zhang Yueran!" Qin Xi was stunned upon hearing this, his whole body convulsing violently, sweat mixed with snot and tears streaming down his face. After a long while, he finally couldn't bear the torment of drug withdrawal any longer, staring blankly at Lin Yupeng, and said in a trembling voice, "I'll talk, I'll talk! Please give me the heroin quickly, I really can't take it anymore, I'm going to die!" Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed sharply, staring intently at Qin Xi, and asked in a deep voice, "Tell me! Where is Zhang Yueran?" At this moment, Qin Xi's reason had long been completely eroded by the drug demon, and he only had one thought in his mind: to take drugs! Upon hearing Lin Yupeng's question, he gritted his teeth and said with difficulty, "There are two places. One is the big wooden house, and the other is Villa No. 3 in Yuxiu Community, Nancheng District. These are the only two places he's staying in Yanjing City... Go there right away... You'll definitely be able to catch him... Give me the heroin!" A glint flashed in Lin Yupeng's eyes. He could find Zhang Yueran's second hiding place, but what about the first hiding place—the big wooden house? He hurriedly asked Qin Xi.

Qin Xi, her heart pounding, struggled to explain, "The big wooden house is a tourist resort in the northern suburbs of the city, about 12 kilometers from the Fifth Ring Road... The last time I saw Zhang Yueran was there, he shouldn't be gone yet!"

Lin Yupeng smiled coldly and continued to ask, "Is that place still operating normally?"

Qin Xi nodded, panting, "Yes, Zhang Yueran is staying in that little red wooden house at the very back of the resort. There are many security guards around him, Xiao Feilong and Cuban are always by his side. Plan carefully and hurry up and catch him! Um, my heroin... could you give me some first? I really can't hold on any longer!"

Lin Yupeng's eyes gleamed, and he said coldly, "Answer me one more question, and I'll give you some heroin! How many bodyguards does Zhang Yueran have with him?" Qin Xi said with a bitter face, "Besides Xiao Feilong and Cuban , there are ten bodyguards who are always by his side.

" "Zhang Yueran has brought quite a few bodyguards. Looks like he's afraid of my retaliation!" Lin Yupeng muttered to himself, glancing at Deng Yuhu beside him, and said in a deep voice, "Give him some, not too much, just enough to keep him alive!" After saying that, he looked up and stared coldly at Qin Xi, saying in a cold voice, "As long as we catch Zhang Yueran, I'll let you have your fill of it!" Qin Xi nodded blankly, saying with difficulty, "Quick... hurry up and catch him, I can't take it anymore!" Lin Yupeng suddenly stood up, called Leng Rui and Deng Yuhu away, and left a few security guards in the underground warehouse to watch over Qin Xi and the other prisoners. The three men went to Lin Yupeng's office and began discussing their plan to capture Zhang Yueran. Deng Yuhu spoke first: "President Lin, since Qin Xi said Zhang Yueran has two hiding places, I think we should split into two groups, one going to 'Da Mu Fang' and the other to Villa No. 3 in Yuxiu Community in the south of the city." Lin Yupeng pondered: "I analyze that Zhang Yueran is most likely at Da Mu Fang. It's a tourist resort, and it's operating normally. It would be very difficult for outsiders to break in and kill him because there are many tourists there, and every tourist could be a witness. We can't ignore this factor. In addition, the tourists can also serve as cover for him. It's near the suburban highway, so it's a good place to hide, as it's easy to attack or retreat!" A glint flashed in Deng Yuhu's large eyes, and he asked in a deep voice: "So, according to President Lin, Zhang Yueran is most likely at Da Mu Fang. How should we capture Zhang Yueran?" Lin Yupeng pondered: "I just intuitively feel that he's there. You're right, we must split into two groups to avoid one being attacked." Afterwards, he tipped off the other side, launching a two-pronged attack that caught Zhang Yueran off guard! But I think the focus should be on the large wooden house. To avoid alerting them, I've decided to send someone to scout it out first! Having said that, he turned to Leng Rui and said seriously, "Brother Leng, you're a new face to Zhang Yueran. Now, take a few men and pretend to be tourists to infiltrate the large wooden house. Try to find out if Zhang Yueran is there. Be careful, don't let him escape, and don't arouse their suspicion." A strange glint flashed in Leng Rui's double pupils . With a sharp glint in his eyes, he replied firmly, "President Lin, rest assured, I guarantee I will complete the mission!" Lin Yupeng nodded, his gaze falling on Deng Yuhu, and said in a deep voice, "Minister Deng, now take your men to Villa No. 3 in the Yuxiu Residential Area in the south of the city and keep a close watch on him. If you find Zhang Yueran, arrest him if you can, and kill him if you can't. Don't let him escape. Go now!" Deng Yuhu responded, and Lin Yupeng waved to Leng Rui. The two left the office together and went their separate ways. Lin Yupeng followed them out and went straight back to the presidential suite on the top floor. He opened the operating system of the Little Flying Insect. Actually, the two groups of people he had sent were mainly to keep an eye on Zhang Yueran; the real task of searching for Zhang Yueran had to be left to the Little Flying Insect. The little flying insect is still at the Gao mansion. The surveillance of the mansion has made no progress in the past few days. Gao Yi either goes to work or goes home to rest, rarely receiving visitors. Even when he does visit, the conversations are unrelated to work, focusing on personal matters. Gao Ya and the "problem bride" Cheng Jing are still not at the mansion. Everything seems calm, but Lin Yupeng senses a major storm brewing beneath the surface. He manipulates the little flying insect to leave the Gao mansion and fly to the Yuxiu residential area in the south of the city. This is a standard villa community inhabited by wealthy and influential "big shots," where even the cheapest house costs over a million. Lin Yupeng quickly locates Villa No. 3, a two-story villa with a yard and a small parking lot containing two cars. Suddenly, several dark figures appeared on the monitor screen, getting closer and closer. When Lin Yupeng saw them clearly, he couldn't help but smile inwardly. It was Deng Yuhu and one of his security guards, both dressed in black, pacing around the villa. Without Lin Yupeng's orders, they dared not break in. Lin Yupeng manipulated the small flying insect to directly enter the villa's main entrance. The first thing he saw was a luxuriously decorated reception room, brightly lit. Sitting on the sofa in the center was a man around forty years old, rather thin, but with a head a size larger than average, an aquiline nose, pointed ears, and a pair of small, triangular eyes that gleamed sharply. His small mustache swayed haphazardly, and his shrewd and capable demeanor was tinged with a lewd air. Sitting on the sofa, he looked like a monkey come to life. Lin Yupeng immediately recognized the man as Tong Yu, the former vice president of the group. Since Zhang Yueran's downfall, Tong Yu had resigned and disappeared. His appearance at Villa No. 3 today made Lin Yupeng chuckle inwardly: "Heh, an old acquaintance! This kid's actually here!" Tong Yu sat on the sofa, holding a remote control, aimlessly flipping through channels. A bottle of red wine sat on the coffee table in front of him, half-empty. Behind him stood two bodyguards, both burly and with piercing eyes. A moment later, the doorbell rang. Tong Yu's triangular eyes flashed with a sharp light. He turned to look at the bodyguard beside him, his hoarse, unpleasant voice sounding like a crow's cawing: "Go open the door. It's probably Xiao Liu coming back from buying food, but be careful! Check if he's been kidnapped. It's better to be cautious at this time!" "Okay!" A bodyguard nodded heavily, quickly pulled a Browning pistol from his pocket, and rushed to the door. He first peeked through the peephole, seemingly unable to see the person outside, and then asked coldly, "Who is it?" A deep, cold voice suddenly rang out from outside: "It's me! Xiao Liu! Open the door!" The bodyguard immediately opened the door, and a young man in his early twenties slipped in, carrying two large plastic bags filled with takeout containers. The man called "Xiao Liu" was also Tong Yu's bodyguard. He placed all the takeout containers from the plastic knife onto the coffee table, opened them one by one, and found rice and dishes. The rice was just ordinary white rice, and the dishes were all meat, but they were cooked to a vibrant color, tender and smooth without being greasy, making them very appetizing. Upon seeing the meat and dishes, Tong Yu's small eyes lit up, and he almost drooled. He turned to the two bodyguards behind him and smiled, "Don't just stand there, join us!" "Thank you, Mr. Tong!" the two bodyguards said in unison. At this moment, Xiao Liu sat down next to Tong Yu and poured him a full glass of wine. (Chapter 781 Full Tracking) " Damn it, didn't I tell you not to call me 'Mr. Tong'? Now I'm nothing because of Jin Tai and Lin Yupeng. They've confiscated all my shares, and I'm stuck in this suffocating place, unable to leave, like a prisoner!" "Tong Yu's face showed anger, and he said resentfully. Xiao Liu comforted him from the side, "Brother Tong, didn't President Zhang say that this is just a temporary hibernation? We brothers will make a comeback sooner or later!"

Tong Yu chuckled coldly, picked up his wine glass, downed it in one gulp, and slammed it heavily on the table. His small, triangular eyes gleamed with resentment and dejection as he gritted his teeth and said, "A comeback? I think that's fucking difficult! The entire Tianqiong Group has moved to Yanjing City, and Lin Yupeng has come too. He just brought down 'Shuiyuntian' a few days ago, and Xia Zhuo and Fu Chunguang were kidnapped! This is a classic case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead! We originally wanted to set a honey trap for Lin Yupeng, but we've ended up trapping ourselves. That Qin Xi is a good-for-nothing! Now that she's in Lin Yupeng's hands, she'll be skinned alive if she doesn't die!"

Xiao Liu's expression darkened, and he sighed deeply. He said, "Sigh, now we can only rely on General Manager Zhang! Brother, don't be too pessimistic. I don't believe Lin Yupeng is a saint. Does he think he won't make mistakes? Hehe, even if he really is a saint, he's bound to make mistakes sometimes. As long as we seize the opportunity, we can always bring him down!"

Lin Yupeng, watching from the monitor screen, sneered inwardly: "Bring me down? Dream on! You guys are under my surveillance. As long as I give the order, Deng Yuhu can bring his men to surround you!"

Tong Yu picked up a piece of braised pork, put it in his mouth and chewed it. After swallowing, his small eyes darted around, glancing at the little boy beside him. Liu, who had been munching on the garnished vegetables like cilantro leaves and radish strips amidst the meat dishes, couldn't help but show his displeasure. He asked in a shrill voice, "Hey kid, why aren't you eating any meat?"

Liu replied with a bitter expression, "Brother, I've been eating meat every day for the past few days, I'm sick of it! Now, just seeing meat makes me feel sick!"

Tong Yu rolled his eyes and said irritably, "Damn it, Boss Zhang won't let me find women. If I don't eat some meat to satisfy my craving, I'll become a monk! You've been eating too much for a few days, haven't you? When we first started out in this underworld, we were so poor we couldn't even afford food. Forget meat, sometimes we didn't even have cabbage stalks..." "We can't even get any food!"

He was rambling on, spittle flying everywhere, when suddenly his phone rang. It was a woman's moaning, incredibly lewd. Tong Yu glanced at the caller ID, his eyes lighting up, even more excited than the lewd ringtone. He quickly answered, chuckling dryly, "Is this Mr. Zhang? Where are you?" "Oh, I know! I'm coming to see him right away!" Tong Yu hung up, abruptly stood up, and said to his three bodyguards, "You guys come with me to the Big Wooden House, it's urgent!" With that

, the four of them quickly walked out of the villa, got into a car in the parking lot, and sped away from Yuxiu Community.

Lin Yupeng maneuvered the little flying insect onto the roof of the car. He had originally planned to go to the Big Wooden House since Zhang Yueran wasn't there, and Tong Yu was also going there, so he could take the little flying insect with him. That phone call must have been from Zhang Yueran, telling Tong Yu to come immediately. So Zhang Yueran must be at the "Big Wooden House" resort?

Suddenly, Lin Yupeng's phone rang. It was Deng Yuhu who answered, and he said in a deep voice, "President Lin, we've spotted Tong Yu coming out of Villa No. 3, but we haven't seen Zhang Yueran!"

Lin Yupeng said coldly, "I understand. Continue monitoring Villa No. 3!"

Deng Yuhu responded and quickly hung up. About twenty minutes later, Lin Yupeng's "little flying insect" arrived at the 'Big Wooden House' resort, located 12 kilometers from the Fifth Ring Road on the outskirts of the city, in Tong Yu's car. The name 'Big Wooden House' was truly fitting; the entire resort was built against the mountainside, consisting entirely of wooden houses in an antique style. There were more than twenty wooden houses of various sizes scattered throughout, with colorful lights hanging high and neon lights swirling around, creating a brightly lit little village.

It was now past 8 p.m., and tourists who had been sightseeing had returned to the Big Wooden House resort. The place was bustling with people, playing and having fun.

After Tong Yu's car drove into the "Big Wooden House," it parked in the private parking lot inside. He and his three bodyguards got out of the car and, after some twists and turns, arrived at a large red wooden house at the back of the resort. Five or six security guards were stationed around the house; this was the hiding place Qin Xi had mentioned for Zhang Yueran.

Lin Yupeng, controlling the flying insect, never left Tong Yu's side. Fortunately, he had previously modified and upgraded the insect's performance; otherwise, monitoring it from such a distance would have been difficult.

Tong Yu arrived at the door of the red wooden house, gently knocked, and said in a shrill voice, "Open the door! It's me, Tong Yu!"

The door opened immediately, and a man in his early thirties stood in the doorway, his face grim and cold, his hawk-like eyes gleaming. Lin Yupeng recognized him as an old acquaintance—Xiao Feilong, the former head of security and Zhang Yueran's trusted henchman.

Tong Yu chuckled at Xiao Feilong, then led his men inside. The wooden house was laid out in a "skewer" pattern: a living room in the outside, a bedroom in the middle, and a bathroom with a shower at the back.

Tong Yu's small eyes scanned the room, a look of confusion on his face. He looked at Xiao Feilong and asked seriously, "Feilong, where is President Zhang?"

Xiao Feilong smiled faintly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "President Zhang left this morning and probably won't be back for a while!"

Tong Yu was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Where did he go? Why didn't he tell me?"

Xiao Feilong's face was cold and heavy, his eyes flashing like lightning as he stared directly at Tong Yu and said seriously, "No one has the right to interfere with where President Zhang goes! President Tong, President Zhang entrusted you with a task before he left, and you must complete it!"

Tong Yu was stunned, his small triangular eyes darting around, and he asked in a sharp voice, "What task?"

Xiao Feilong... A sinister smirk appeared on his cold face as he pulled a yellow file folder from his pocket. His tone was serious and deep as he said, “President Tong, this folder contains evidence of illegal and unethical activities by Jintai’s Tianqiong Group. It includes drug trafficking, smuggling, and prostitution—all secretly accumulated by President Zhang over the past few years. Of course, it’s not all of it. Haven’t you always had a good relationship with Gao Ya, the son of Vice Premier Gao Yi? Find a time to have Gao Ya deliver this folder to Vice Premier Gao Yi, and your mission will be complete! Then you’ll be in charge of this ‘Big Wooden House.’ Just don’t overstep the mark; President Zhang generally won’t interfere!” (Chapter 782

Mysterious Files ) Upon hearing

this

, Tong Yu chuckled dryly and said in a high-pitched voice, "Such a small matter! No problem, no problem. But I don't quite understand why it has to be handed over to Gao Yi through Gao Ya? Can't we just submit it directly to the State Council?"

Xiao Feilong said seriously, "No! That's not safe. The State Council is complicated. We don't know who the Sky Dome Group's people are. Blindly submitting it there will either sink without a trace or expose our identities. Handing it directly to Gao Yi through Gao Ya is the safest plan! Gao Yi is the mortal enemy of Jin Tai and Lin Yupeng. If he has this evidence, it will be a fatal blow to the Sky Dome Group!"

Tong Yu took the yellow file bag and said with a worried expression, "It's just that Gao Ya went to Australia these past few days..." I went on my honeymoon to the Isle of Man, I don’t know when I’ll be back! "

Lin Yupeng sneered secretly in his heart when he heard this: "This kid High Pressure really went on his honeymoon! Quite enjoyable!

Xiao Feilong said solemnly: "Then I'll put it where you are first, and be sure to keep it well!" I have to leave tomorrow too. This resort is temporarily managed by Huo Baichang. After you complete your task, you can officially take over!

Tong Yu chuckled and said: "I understand, I promise to complete the task!" Is it okay? Then I can go!

Xiao Feilong nodded and said, "Mr. Tong, please go slowly!" "

Tong Yu waved his hand, turned around and left the mahogany house with his three bodyguards. He came to the parking lot and got in the car and ran back to Villa No. 3 in Yuxiu Community where he was hiding.

Lin Yupeng controlled the flying insects to continue to chase after Tong Yu and followed Tong Yu to the villa. This was when his cell phone rang again. It was Deng Yuhu calling, telling him that Tong Yu and his people were back.

"Continue to monitor! Lin Yupeng ordered in a cold voice. In fact, he had been controlling the flying insects to follow Tong Yu, but he could not explain it clearly to Deng Yuhu.

Tong Yu plopped down on the sofa in the living room. The food he had left over from earlier was cold, but he was still eating heartily, picking up his chopsticks and continuing to devour it.

After a long pause, Tong Yu slammed down his chopsticks, picked up the file folder Xiao Feilong had given him, untied the thread, and dumped all the materials inside onto the coffee table. Besides two documents, there were two small notebooks, one yellow and one red.

Tong Yu quickly flipped through them, chuckling dryly, "President Zhang is really something. All these materials are related to Jin Tai and Lin Yupeng. If this is handed over to the State Council, they'll be in serious trouble!"

Lin Yupeng, watching the monitor, stared at the two notebooks, thinking to himself, "Could Qiao Fenny's lost ledger be in there? In any case, I must get my hands on any evidence related to Tianqiong Group! Heh heh, Zhang Yueran, you probably never dreamed that your little tricks would fall into my trap, did you?"

Thinking this, he took out his phone and dialed Deng Yuhu's number, saying seriously: "Minister Deng, you take your men and break into Villa No. 3 right now. Cover your faces, pretend to be robbers, and try to kick the door open. There might be important documents that our group has lost in this villa. You must search carefully and not miss anything!"

Deng Yuhu replied firmly, "Understood, Mr. Lin, don't worry!"

Lin Yupeng hung up the phone and continued to observe Tong Yu's movements. About ten minutes later, someone rang the doorbell. Tong Yu and his three bodyguards immediately became alert, putting the materials on the table into file folders. Tong Yu glanced at Xiao Liu and said shrilly, "Go to the door..." " Look who it is, be careful!"

Xiao Liu nodded slightly, his face cold and stern. He quickly drew his sidearm from his waist, strode to the door, and peered through the peephole. Seeing no one outside, he asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"

A woman's voice replied in a high-pitched, affected tone, "I'm from the property management company. Due to a statistical error, we overcharged you by fifty yuan last month. I've come today to return the money and apologize in person!"

Xiao Liu's eyes flashed, and he said coldly, "It's already nine o'clock at night. Can't you come again tomorrow? Besides, fifty yuan is nothing to us..." "It's nothing!"

Tong Yu chimed in from the side, "Tell this girl not to return it, just consider it a tip, hehe!"

Lin Yupeng cursed inwardly, "Does this guy think he's hiring a prostitute and expecting a tip? Is that property management lady someone from Deng Yuhu's group in disguise?"

The "property management lady" outside said sincerely, "Sir, we'll settle the accounts tomorrow, so we can only return the money to you tonight. I'm so sorry to disturb your rest! Fifty yuan is still money, after all. Our company's principle is that the interests of the owners come first..." She then went on to ramble on with a whole set of professional jargon.

Tong Yu's eyes darted around, and he waved to Xiao Liu, whispering, "Let her in!

Damn, it's been a long time since I've seen a woman. Maybe I'll have a romantic encounter!"

Xiao Liu hesitated for a moment, but still obeyed his master's order and opened the door. But as soon as he unlocked it, someone outside suddenly kicked out, striking the door squarely. Xiao Liu couldn't dodge in time and was knocked dizzy by the steel door, dropping his gun to the ground.

Immediately afterward, five men filed in, all dressed in black, wearing black masks, revealing only a pair of bright, star-like eyes, exuding a chilling murderous aura.

Xiao Liu had barely recovered from the fall when a dark, cold gun barrel was pressed against his forehead. Tong Yu's two bodyguards were no pushovers either; they reacted quickly, drawing their pistols to fire.

The group that burst in was clearly faster. The leader, a tall and imposing man, raised his hand and fired two shots almost simultaneously. Two muffled "bangs" echoed as the guns struck the wrists of two of Tong Yu's bodyguards. The gunshots were faint because they were silenced.

The two bodyguards screamed in pain, dropping their guns to the ground, instinctively clutching their wrists as blood gushed out. They immediately gave up resisting.

The change was swift and sudden, taking only four or five seconds. By the time Tong Yu reacted, a cold, dark pistol was pressed against his forehead. He then realized that the beautiful woman from the property management office must have been one of these men in disguise. A man mimicking a woman's voice—she was quite convincing; she had even fooled him!

Lin Yupeng, watching the monitor, felt a surge of smug satisfaction. He knew that the group was Deng Yuhu and his thugs, ordered to raid Villa No. 3.

"Buddy, let's talk this out! I have plenty of money, just please spare our lives!" Tong Yu grinned dryly. After all, he was a seasoned veteran of the

underworld . He was initially panicked, but quickly calmed down, his small eyes darting around.

Chapter 783 Shocking

Chapter 783 Shocking

Deng Yuhu snorted coldly and waved to his men. They took out ropes they had prepared beforehand and tied Tong Yu and his three bodyguards up tightly, the ropes digging into their flesh. The men grimaced and howled in pain, "Ouch, be gentle, buddy!"

Deng Yuhu's large, round eyes rolled around, two sharp glints sweeping across every corner of the living room like searchlights. Finally, his gaze landed on the yellow file folder on the coffee table. He paused for a moment, then looked at Tong Yu and said in a sinister tone, "Damn it, how much money do you have? Cash, not cards, hand it all over!" To avoid Tong Yu recognizing his voice, he deliberately spoke in a hoarse voice, as if he were weak and powerless.

Tong Yu didn't recognize Deng Yuhu at all, only feeling that his eyes seemed vaguely familiar. Hearing this, he forced a dry laugh and said with a bitter face, "Money, money! There's 30,000 yuan in cash and some gold and silver jewelry in the bedside table upstairs! It's all yours!"

Deng Yuhu snorted coldly and waved to his men, "Search this entire house! Take everything of value, and be quick!"

The four men sprang into action. One of them first robbed Tong Yu and his three bodyguards of everything—wallets, cell phones, PDAs—leaving nothing missing and placing them all on the coffee table.

A short while later, the men who had searched upstairs returned, carrying the 30,000 yuan and jewelry, and threw them onto the coffee table.

Deng Yuhu's true intentions were elsewhere. His eyes fell on the yellow file folder on the coffee table. He had found the contents suspicious earlier and remembered Lin Yupeng's emphasis on some secret document on the phone. He quickly reached for the yellow file folder.

Despite the large amount of stolen goods, Tong Yu remained nonchalant. However, the moment he saw the yellowed file in the robbers' hands, a look of panic crossed his face. He quickly composed himself, forcing a dry laugh, "Dude, it's just a bunch of junk documents, nothing interesting!"

His words only made things worse. Deng Yuhu's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he noticed the barely concealed panic on Tong Yu's face. He thought to himself, "There's definitely something fishy going on here!"

With that thought, he impatiently tore open the file folder, dumped its contents onto the coffee table, and examined it closely. His large, round eyes gleamed even brighter.

"Dude, these are obsolete materials from our company, we were just about to throw them away..." Tong Yu's attempt to explain only made things worse.

Deng Yuhu snorted coldly, turned to one of his security guards, and said in a cold voice, "Gag him!"

The guard pulled out a rag and stuffed it into Tong Yu's mouth. Deng Yuhu put the contents of the file folder back in, picked it up, waved to his men, and shouted, "Grab your stuff and get out of here!"

The group then swarmed out of the villa, leaving even faster than they had arrived, sweeping past like a whirlwind and taking away the most important yellow file folder.

Tong Yu was tightly bound, his mouth stuffed with a rag, his face showing despair and hopelessness. He struggled desperately, and his tongue was surprisingly strong; after much effort, he finally managed to push the rag out.

"Pah! This is fucking awful!" Tong Yu coughed twice, speaking bitterly.

"Big brother, what do we do?" Xiao Liu asked in a trembling voice, his face filled with terror.

Tong Yu's small, triangular eyes darted around, and he whispered, "The four of us should try to huddle together and bite each other's ropes. Hurry! We'll run out of strength if we stay tied up any longer!"

Just then, Lin Yupeng's phone rang in front of the monitor. He knew without looking that it was Deng Yuhu calling, and he quickly pressed the answer button. Deng Yuhu said with a hint of joy, "President Lin, mission accomplished! We raided Villa No. 3 and retrieved a bag of confidential documents! What do you think we should do next?"

Lin Yupeng said seriously, "Get out of here quickly! What if that kid Tong Yu gets desperate and calls the police? Do you want to fight the police?"

Deng Yuhu chuckled, hung up the phone, and immediately led his men out of the Yuxiu residential area.

Lin Yupeng's gaze fell on the monitor screen again. Tong Yu's method was really effective. After about half an hour, the rope on his body was bitten through by Xiao Liu. In fact, Deng Yuhu was using an ordinary rope, which was easy to bite through if you had good teeth.

After regaining his freedom, Tong Yu immediately grabbed a razor blade and cut the ropes binding his three bodyguards, cursing under his breath, "Damn it, my bad luck hasn't even worn off yet! This neighborhood is pretty safe, how could there be robbers? Where did they come from?"

Xiao Liu stretched his aching muscles and exclaimed in horror, "Brother Tong, could it be someone from the Sky Dome Group? That...that file folder was stolen by them!"

Tong Yu's small, triangular eyes darted around, and he pondered, "Impossible, right? We secretly infiltrated Yanjing City this time, rarely showing our faces. How would the Sky Dome Group know we were here?"

Xiao Liu nodded and asked seriously, "Brother, the file folder was stolen, what should we do?"

Tong Yu slumped onto the sofa, his small eyes gleaming with a sharp light, darting around faster and faster, before suddenly letting out a dry laugh. "What can we do? We can only suffer in silence! We can't admit to this even if you beat us to death. I'll tell Boss Zhang that I've already handed it over to Gao Ya. I'll handle Gao Ya's job. I don't believe Zhang Yueran can verify it with Gao Yi! As long as we keep our mouths shut, everything will be fine. Otherwise, if this gets to Zhang Yueran's ears, we'll be in big trouble!" Xiao Liu pondered, "It seems that's the only way. Sigh, we're really unlucky! Should we call the police?"

Tong Yu glared at him and said sharply, "Bullshit! Are you crazy? We have criminal records at the police station, and the matter isn't settled yet. Calling the police is like walking into a trap!"

Xiao Liu's expression darkened, and he sighed, "Sigh, then we can only suffer in silence!"

Tong Yu cursed a few more times, but it was all hindsight, and it was too late.

Just then, Lin Yupeng's phone rang. It was Deng Yuhu again: "President Lin, I'm back at the group. What should we do with the money and documents?"

Lin Yupeng said in a deep voice, "You guys divide the money among yourselves. Bring the documents to me right now!"

Deng Yuhu responded, and shortly after, someone delivered the yellow file folder directly to Lin Yupeng's presidential suite before turning and leaving.

Lin Yupeng eagerly opened the folder. The documents inside were the same as those he had seen on the monitor screen, but the contents were shocking!

Chapter 784 Lost and Found

Chapter 784 Lost and Found

The folder contained two printed sheets of paper, recording the history of Tianqiong Group's rise over the past few years and the group's overview, including all its domestic and international industries, as well as its suspected illegal and criminal activities; there were also two ledgers, one of which was a record of Tianqiong Group's trafficking of prostitutes to Southeast Asia, although it was unclear whether it was the original, and the other was a record of drug trafficking and smuggling transactions.

Lin Yupeng's face was gloomy, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. He cursed inwardly, "Zhang Yueran is really ruthless. If I hadn't discovered it in time, and these materials had fallen into Gao Yi's hands, I would have been waiting for the police to come knocking on my door!"

He immediately dialed Qiao Fenny's cell phone and secretly called her to the presidential suite, asking her to identify whether the ledger was the original.

Qiao Fenny examined the ledger carefully, her beautiful eyes lighting up with delight. "Mr. Lin, this is the original! You're amazing! You got it back! Thank you so much!"

Lin Yupeng sneered, his eyes flashing with a sharp light as he glanced at her. He thought to himself, "It's all because of you, you slut, that I caused this mess. Luckily, I was more skilled and managed to snatch the ledger back, averting a disaster! That Zhang Yueran guy will have to be eliminated sooner or later!"

He grabbed a lighter and, in front of Qiao Fenny, burned the ledger and other materials in the washbasin. Looking at the materials reduced to ashes, Lin Yupeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Qiao Fenny sensed Lin Yupeng's anger towards her and resorted to her seductive charms, teasing him relentlessly. Lin Yupeng initially wanted to get rid of her, but this woman was too clingy, quickly igniting his already uncontrollable and often rampant lust.

Today she was wearing a thin white silk blouse and a pink pencil skirt. Through the semi-transparent blouse, the bulge of her bra could be vaguely seen, evoking images of her large breasts. Beneath the pencil skirt were her stunningly beautiful legs, her snow-white calves encased in sexy, fiery red stockings that perfectly accentuated the smoothness and whiteness of her legs. This mature woman was truly exhilarating.

With seductive eyes, Qiao Fenny plopped down on Lin Yupeng, giggling, "Brother Lin, I know you hold a grudge against me, and I know I was wrong. I'll never keep track of that damn ledger again. Ever since it went missing, I've been living in fear, not a single night's restful sleep!" As

she spoke, she rubbed her full, plump buttocks against his groin. Lin Yupeng felt a surge of heat rising within him, sparks of passion igniting within him. Yet, he maintained a stern expression, saying in a deep voice, "Sister Fenny, from now on we'll be doing legitimate business. This won't happen again!"

"Yes, I know. I believe that under your guidance, things will get better and better in the next few days!" Qiao Fenny said sweetly, her beautiful eyes gleaming with allure.

Her body continued to writhe, her hands beginning to roam over Lin Yupeng's body, fully arousing his passion. Lin Yupeng's eyes blazed with fire; he decided to take the initiative.

Different women require different approaches. A mature and alluring woman like Qiao Fenny needs to be treated with a bit more roughness to be truly stimulating. Lin Yupeng's hands were roughly kneading her body, eliciting waves of pleasurable screams from her. He then began to pull at her tight skirt, revealing her long, slender, white thighs. She wasn't wearing underwear, and her secret valley was already gurgling

with desire. This alluring sight aroused Lin Yupeng, whose eyes were bloodshot. He suddenly reached out and ripped off her shirt and skirt, quickly stripping her naked like a lamb. Then, he embraced her snow-white, sexy body and rolled onto the bed.

The room was filled with an atmosphere of debauchery. Lin Yupeng thrust violently, and Qiao Fenny responded enthusiastically, moaning and groaning, her pretty face flushed red, her lewd expression only fueling the man's lust...

The intense lovemaking lasted for most of the night. The next morning, a satisfied yet exhausted Qiao Fenny slipped out of Lin Yupeng's room first.

Today was New Year's Day, and Tianqiong Group had a three-day holiday, so Lin Yupeng didn't have to go to work. After breakfast, he went to his bedroom to monitor his rivals. Villa No. 3 in the South District was no longer of much use for surveillance. He figured Zhang Yueran wouldn't come here, so he used a small flying insect to fly to the "Big Wooden House" tourist resort and directly entered the mysterious red house to conduct surveillance.

The house was deserted during the day, and Xiao Feilong was nowhere to be seen. Lin Yupeng found a good angle and fixed the small flying insect in place when his phone rang. It was his friend Fan Qixuan calling.

"Brother Lin, where are you? Come out and play!" Fan Qixuan's every other sentence was about 'playing,' which Lin Yupeng was used to, but every time he went out with him, he would find something new, so he rarely refused Fan Qixuan's enthusiastic invitation.

"Where are we going to play this time?" Lin Yupeng asked with a chuckle.

Fan Qixuan said, "Shuiyuntian is closed down. Sigh, and Hua Meiyu is nowhere to be found either. I've lost another good place to go… But it's okay, I recently found a fun place. Let's go skiing at Phoenix Mountain!"

Lin Yupeng smiled and said, "Skiing! I can't!" But inwardly he chuckled, "He doesn't know that Hua Meiyu is now under my control, hehe!"

This work is exclusively published on 16k.com. Unauthorized reproduction or excerpting is prohibited. For more of the latest and fastest chapters, please visit [website address]. Fan Qixuan chuckled dryly, "Brother Lin, don't be modest. Last time we played bowling, you said you couldn't, but you got a strike on your first try! Hehe, skiing is more difficult than bowling, but with practice, you can learn it without a teacher." "Hey! I can teach you if you don't know how!"

Lin Yupeng said. "Alright then! Where shall we meet?"

Fan Qixuan said loudly, "I'll be at the entrance of your Sky Dome Building in a bit. I'll call you when I get there. Take my car, and bring your bodyguard. I recently bought a stretched Hummer, it can hold over twenty people!"

Lin Yupeng chuckled and said, "Okay then! I'll wait for your call!" After saying that, he hung up the phone, thinking to himself, "This Fan Qixuan really dares to spend money. A stretched Hummer? It must be over a million, right? Heh, the Lante Group is rich and powerful, this amount of money is just a drop in the ocean for them!"

Not long after, Fan Qixuan called and told Lin Yupeng to come downstairs immediately, as he was already at the entrance.

Lin Yupeng, with his bodyguard Xiang Kui, took the elevator downstairs and arrived at the entrance of the Sky Dome Building. There, he saw a stretched Hummer about ten meters long parked. The gray-black body gleamed, and the design was relatively simple, attracting the attention of many passersby. Fan Qixuan was standing at the driver's side door, waving at him!

Chapter 785 Reencounter with Qianqian

Chapter 785 Reencounter with Qianqian

Lin Yupeng walked over and chuckled, saying, "Brother Qixuan, long time no see! What have you been up to lately?"

Fan Qixuan smiled and said, "Wasn't it almost New Year's Day a few days ago? Too many social engagements, hehe, Brother Lin, get in the car!"

Lin Yupeng and Xiang Kui got into the car. Although the exterior of the car was simple, the interior was extremely luxurious and comfortable. Fan Qixuan's two bodyguards were also in the car.

In the passenger seat sat a young girl, wearing a white down jacket. The tight-fitting design accentuated her curves, her full, firm breasts filling the space, outlining a beautiful and alluring figure with her slender waist and round, upturned buttocks. She wore blue jeans that hugged her long, shapely legs, and red boots. Her jet-black hair was styled in a unique bun, revealing her ivory-white neck. A faint blush tinged her cheeks, and her bright, black eyes blinked mischievously. Her delicate, small lips were full and charming. This was Fan Qixuan's younger sister, Fan Qianqian, that willful, capricious, and adorably charming little devil.

Lin Yupeng felt a headache coming on the moment he saw her. It wasn't that he couldn't handle her, but dealing with this girl required some brainpower; he might easily get caught up in her tricks. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This girl went skiing too!"

Fan Qianqian turned her head, her bright, clear eyes glancing at Lin Yupeng. Her face hardened, and she said, "Lin Yupeng, we meet again! If you make me angry again this time, I definitely won't let you off the hook!"

Lin Yupeng looked helpless and said, "Don't worry, as long as you don't provoke me, I won't provoke you either, hehe!"

Fan Qianqian glared at him with her charming eyes and said coquettishly, "When did I make you angry?

You're the one who provoked me first!"

"I was wondering why you two always argue as soon as you meet? I should have known better than to bring you!" Fan Qixuan got into the driver's seat and coldly scolded his sister, Fan Qianqian.

"It's all his fault! He never gives me any leeway!" Fan Qianqian blushed, pouted her cherry lips, and said coquettishly.

Fan Qixuan chuckled, too lazy to pay her any more attention, and started the car, heading straight towards Phoenix Mountain.

Lin Yupeng also ignored Fan Qianqian, lest his words offend her and start another argument, so he simply chatted with Fan Qixuan.

"Brother Qixuan, how much did you pay for this car?" Lin Yupeng glanced around the car and asked casually.

When the topic turned to cars, Fan Qixuan became quite enthusiastic, revealing himself to be a car enthusiast. He began introducing his newly purchased extended Hummer: "This car originally cost 2.08 million, but I got it through a friend, and they gave me a discount, so I only paid 2 million! How about that, pretty cheap, right?"

Lin Yupeng didn't know much about cars, so he could only go along with it and say, "Yeah, pretty cheap."

Fan Qixuan chuckled and continued, "This car is a modified Hummer H2 model, and all parts are supplied by designated suppliers of General Motors in the United States. It has a 6.0-liter V8 engine with a maximum power output of 320 horsepower..."

Lin Yupeng wasn't interested in any of this, but not wanting to spoil his fun, he could only nod and pretend to be very interested as he chatted with him.

After chatting for only ten minutes, Fan Qianqian became dissatisfied. She rolled her eyes at her brother and said coquettishly, "Second brother, why aren't you talking to me? Are you deliberately ignoring me?"

Fan Qixuan, focused on driving, replied helplessly, "You don't know anything about cars, what's the point of talking to you?"

Fan Qianqian glanced at Lin Yupeng, a hint of arrogance appearing on her pretty face, and said resentfully, "He doesn't know anything about cars either, so why are you talking to him? Are you biased towards outsiders?"

Fan Qixuan's face darkened, and he said coldly, "Qianqian, don't be unreasonable, okay?" "Brother Lin was interested and asked me a few questions, how could I not tell him?"

Fan Qianqian raised her eyes and sneered, "You're driving now, so shut up! Be careful, or I'll drive and you can chat with Lin Yupeng in the back!"

Lin Yupeng chuckled inwardly, "So this girl wants to drive!"

Fan Qixuan shook his head slightly and said firmly, "No way! You can't drive this car. It's still in the break-in period, and you're not familiar with the Hummer's performance. You drive recklessly, so if you scratch or bump it, I'll be heartbroken!"

"Hmph! You stingy person!" Fan Qianqian pouted her tender red lips, puffed out her cheeks, and said coquettishly.

As they spoke, the car drove out of the city. Phoenix Mountain is located in the northern suburbs of Yanjing City, with an altitude of about 2,000 meters. It has year-round snow cover, undulating mountain faces, and few cliffs or steep slopes, making it suitable for building a ski resort.

Phoenix Mountain Ski Resort is located halfway up the mountain. Although it has only snowed lightly today, the resort can create artificial snow to meet the needs of tourists.

Lin Yupeng and Fan Qixuan arrived at the ski resort. It was the New Year's Day holiday, the peak season for tourists, and the resort was packed with people. Fan Qixuan was a regular at the resort and enjoyed VIP treatment, as did his group, who had priority access to everything.

Lin Yupeng was a beginner skier and knew nothing about it, so he could only follow Fan Qixuan. They first rented a set of ski equipment, including basic equipment such as skis, ski boots, bindings, and ski poles, as well as auxiliary equipment such as ski suits, ski hats, ski goggles, ski gloves, ski helmets, and protective gear.

Fan Qixuan led Lin Yupeng into the men's changing room, patiently explaining the function and usage of each piece of equipment as he guided him to change. Lin Yupeng, with his exceptional comprehension and memory, quickly memorized the operation of the equipment. Now that he had grasped some theoretical knowledge, it was time to put it into practice.

The two changed into their ski suits and came out of the changing room with their equipment. Fan Qianqian, already dressed in her ski suit, was waiting for them outside. Upon seeing Lin Yupeng and Fan Qixuan, she immediately complained irritably, "You guys take so long to change, like snails!"

Fan Qixuan chuckled and said, "Brother Lin is new to skiing, so I need to explain some things to him!"

Fan Qianqian gave Lin Yupeng a playful glare, snorted, and said nothing more. The three of them went to the ski slope outside and began skiing.

Fan Qianqian is a good skier with excellent balance and can even do some difficult moves. Fan Qixuan is a playful young master and his skiing skills are even better than his sister's. However, because Lin Yupeng is a beginner, he has to act as a ski instructor, patiently explaining the key points, demonstrating the moves, and taking him skiing. As for the three bodyguards they brought, they did not participate and only watched from nearby.
