The night deepened.
General manager's office at Xingyue Chain.
Lin Dongwen swirled the red wine in his glass, gazing at several photos on his computer.
The photos were all of Su Yingxue, simple everyday shots. In some, she still looked youthful and naive, yet they stirred a trace of obsession in his eyes.
These pictures were sent by Su Yingxia at Cao Yun's request.
Looking at the photos, he downed the red wine and let out a sigh of melancholy.
According to his usual routine, he would pick a few young models and mingle with clients, enjoying a nightlife of singing and dancing.
But today, he suddenly lost the mood.
Even now, Su Yingxue's image filled his mind, making everything else seem dull and uninteresting.
At his level, his business was booming, his wealth was substantial, and he had experienced all sorts of women.
But a woman like Su Yingxue made him feel as though he had returned to his youth, to the feeling of seeing his goddess for the first time.
Innumerable thoughts surged in his heart.
He poured another glass of red wine and stood up, looking out the window.
"Su Yingxue, I must have you."
He took out his phone, preparing to call Cao Yun to pressure her and to learn more about Su Yingxue.
Bang!
But at this moment, the door to his luxurious office was kicked open.
Lin Dongwen was startled.
He turned to see a plainly dressed man walk in with composure.
The man appeared to be in his mid-twenties, looking ordinary, but exuding an aura that subtly unsettled him.
Having been in the business world for many years, Lin Dongwen had met all sorts of people. Since his business grew, he had come into contact with many influential figures.
This intruder didn't look like a wealthy socialite, but his detached confidence gave him a strange sense of superiority.
It was Chen Fan who had arrived.
"Lin Dongwen?"
Chen Fan spoke indifferently. Da Feng Novel Network.
"Who are you? It's very rude to barge into my office at this hour."
Lin Dongwen frowned, speaking with displeasure.
Chen Fan had no intention of wasting time. He sat down on the sofa and asked indifferently, "Su Yingxue met with you today? What happened?"
Hearing Su Yingxue's name, Lin Dongwen's heart skipped a beat.
At the same time, he couldn't help but feel surprised.
According to Cao Yun, Su Yingxue was an illegitimate daughter expelled from the Su family, with no significant background.
So, was this young man Su Yingxue's boyfriend?
Had he rushed over to defend her after she cried to him?
Having confirmed Chen Fan's identity, Lin Dongwen felt more assured.
Then, a sense of absurd jealousy suddenly arose within him.
He was jealous that this man, who didn't look wealthy, could be Su Yingxue's boyfriend.
"Didn't Su Yingxue explain it clearly to you?"
His thoughts raced, Lin Dongwen slowly took a sip of wine before speaking, "I wanted Su Yingxue to be my mistress, but she refused and even dealt me a harsh blow."
He didn't hide anything, speaking calmly, "You're her boyfriend, name your price."
"Her, become your mistress?"
Chen Fan was also a little surprised by Lin Dongwen's bluntness.
"One million, is that enough?"
Lin Dongwen took a bank card from his pocket and tossed it to Chen Fan, saying, "The moment I saw her, I knew she was the woman of my dreams. I'd pay any amount of money for her. With her, I feel like I've found my youthful self again."
The bank card was casually caught by Chen Fan and thrown onto the floor.
Chen Fan's gaze was icy, "Did you lay a hand on her?"
"I wouldn't dare."
Seeing Chen Fan toss away a million-dollar card, Lin Dongwen was stunned, then he chuckled, "Su Yingxue is like a goddess stepped out of a painting, gentle and pure as the spring waters of Jiangnan. Though I am worth hundreds of millions, I feel inferior before her. Even for my underhanded tactics, I would feel ashamed."
"But if I don't use some means, how could I ever have a chance with a woman like her?"
Chen Fan's voice was indifferent, "Very well, you've saved your life, and your limbs."
"I'll give you a chance. Retract your dirty and despicable tactics, go to Huancai and apologize to Su Yingxue, and I will let you go."
Lin Dongwen chuckled at this, picked up his wine glass, and said, "One million isn't enough? Then two million. I don't know what you do, but two million is money you wouldn't earn in two or three years, right?"
"Do I need to repeat myself?"
Chen Fan said coldly.
Lin Dongwen frowned and said, "You're too greedy. Five million, no more. It's not that I can't afford it, but you're not worth more."
"Take this five million, and I want you to cooperate with me, to argue with Su Yingxue at the right time, to break up with her. You'll do as I instruct."
Chen Fan's expression was blank, and his figure flickered.
Slap, a palm struck Lin Dongwen's face.
With immense force, Lin Dongwen was sent flying by the slap, crashing to the floor.
"Don't you understand human language?"
Chen Fan's tone was icy, "Given that your hands and feet were relatively well-behaved, I gave you a chance, and you're still showing your stupidity?"
Lin Dongwen clutched his face, his anger erupting, "You dare hit me? Do you believe I'll make you pay a price you can't afford, losing both person and wealth?"
"I don't believe it."
He uttered two words, grabbed Lin Dongwen's hair, and slammed his head heavily onto the desk.
With a bang, Lin Dongwen's head spun, blood streaming from his forehead.
He cried out in agony.
"You..." Lin Dongwen struggled forcefully, "You maliciously assaulted me, I'm calling the police, and you'll spend the rest of your life in prison. I'm worth hundreds of millions, it's easy to deal with you with money."
"Is that all?"
Chen Fan's expression remained unchanged. He grabbed Lin Dongwen and slammed his head against the desk again.
"Ah..."
His face covered in blood, Lin Dongwen yelled, "If you have the guts, kill me! If you can't kill me, you'll be in jail for the rest of your life. I'm worth hundreds of millions, and it's easy to spend money to deal with you."
Chen Fan actually smiled at this and let go.
Lin Dongwen gasped for air and took out his phone to make a call.
"You reminded me. Your capital is just money, isn't it?"
Chen Fan said lightly, "Making you lose everything will be far more painful than beating you up."
For successful individuals like Lin Dongwen who rose through the ranks themselves, their wealth was more important than their lives.
He made a phone call to summon the building's security guards, and Lin Dongwen became emboldened.
Chen Fan took out his phone and called Han Shuying.
"There's a company called Xingyue Planning, the boss is Lin Dongwen. I want him to be punished within ten minutes."
"Understood!"
Han Shuying readily agreed.
"Who are you trying to fool?"
Lin Dongwen wiped the blood from his forehead and said coldly, "You'll be crying later. If you don't pay the price for your actions today, I'll change my surname to yours."
"A person like you taking my surname would be an insult to my family name,"
Chen Fan said calmly.
Lin Dongwen gritted his teeth in hatred, staring intently at Chen Fan.
Less than two minutes later, footsteps echoed, and four security guards on duty entered the office.
Lin Dongwen breathed a sigh of relief, put some distance between himself and Chen Fan, and shouted, "This man broke into my company and committed assault! Arrest him!"
He was still planning to capture Chen Fan and force him to break up with Su Yingxue, which was why he hadn't called the police immediately.
