Lin Yu: There's a Sneaky Bastard

"Hehe... another choice triggered?"

"Sigh! It's another brainless pick-three."

Jiang Che helplessly rubbed his head. Was there even a need to choose?

Based on the plot, the people who kidnapped Ye Mengyao had guns. Lin Yu had only barely managed to save Ye Mengyao, taking a bullet in the shoulder in the process.

In a situation this dangerous, Jiang Che naturally would not risk his life to save Ye Mengyao. Lin Yu was destined to be cannon fodder.

Still, the reward for the third option made Jiang Che's eyes light up.

Heart Link.

It was a God-level Skill. By coming into close contact with women, he could use it to eavesdrop on their Inner Voices within a fifty-meter radius. It was practically an essential skill for scumbags picking up girls.

Not bad, not bad. Jiang Che nodded in satisfaction.

This skill was pretty good!

Jiang Che checked the time and felt that it should be about right.

Having read the script, he naturally knew where the kidnappers were: an unfinished building in Xincheng District.

He even knew exactly which building and which floor.

On one floor of the unfinished building.

"Brother Dao, why hasn't Ye Changkong replied to us? It's already been over half an hour..."

The short, fat man frowned deeply.

There were four kidnappers. Their leader was a scar-faced man who looked vicious, the kind of person who had clearly lived by the blade.

Cigarette butts littered the floor. No one knew how many cigarettes they had smoked.

On the sofa in the middle lay Ye Mengyao, her hands and feet tied up.

Her hair was slightly disheveled, and she was still unconscious.

Brother Dao fell silent for a moment before slowly speaking. "The employer wants Ye Changkong's product information. As long as he hands it over... we'll release her immediately."

"That bastard is stalling for time? Waiting for the police?"

Brother Dao sneered. "The police won't find us anytime soon. I deliberately avoided every surveillance camera. If anything goes wrong... we'll take this woman away as a hostage."

The others all turned their eyes toward the unconscious Ye Mengyao.

The fat man in particular swallowed hard.

"The Ye Family's eldest miss is fucking gorgeous. Her skin must be so tender it could drip water. Brother Dao, how about we have some fun first?"

The fat man was practically drooling. The kidnapping had been too rushed; they had knocked her out and stuffed her straight into a sack. He had not even gotten to touch her once.

"Fun my ass! I don't want to piss off the Ye Family beyond repair!"

Brother Dao cursed angrily. Kidnapping the Ye Family's daughter meant they could take the money, lie low for a while, then leave the country. But if anything happened to Ye Mengyao... there would be no room for negotiation at all.

"Ye Changkong only has this one precious daughter. If he goes mad, none of us will end well!"

Brother Dao spoke viciously.

"Once this job is done, the employer's commission will be twenty million. What kind of beauty won't you be able to get then? Keep yourselves in check for now."

At those words, the others put away their improper thoughts.

Then they continued waiting.

What they did not notice was... a figure sitting atop an unfinished building directly across from them.

Jiang Che sat on the rooftop with his legs dangling over the edge. He was even smoking a cigarette, a brick in his right hand.

"What a bunch of fucking idiots! The dogshit author forced this plot just so the readers wouldn't be disgusted."

He had arrived long ago, and after hearing Brother Dao's words, he could not help ridiculing them inwardly.

If he were a kidnapper... he would have gotten handsy already.

These guys had the lust but not the guts, and they wanted to play at kidnapping?

He keenly spotted the cigarettes the kidnappers were smoking: Huazi.

Jiang Che lowered his head and glanced at the cigarette in his own hand. "Fuck, what kind of status do they have? They're smoking the same brand as me!"

What bad luck!

Another cigarette burned down to the filter...

Only then did the protagonist Lin Yu finally arrive!

The police could not find the unfinished building in such a short time, yet Lin Yu found it!

The protagonist's privileges really were incredible.

Lin Yu was smart for once. After discovering the kidnapped Ye Mengyao, he did not rush out immediately. Instead, he began waiting.

"Why is Ye Mengyao unconscious?"

Lin Yu frowned deeply. Ye Mengyao was unconscious... who was he supposed to show off his might to?

The hero-saving-the-damsel trope might be cliché... but it was useful in any era.

"Damn, Lin Yu is really sneaky! Is he planning to wait until Ye Mengyao wakes up before showing off?"

But Jiang Che wasn't worried, because he knew... Lin Yu would soon be unable to hold himself back.

"You guys keep watch here. I'm going to take a dump."

Brother Dao clutched his stomach and prepared to leave.

"Hehehe... take your time, Brother Dao." The fat man wore a fawning smile.

"Behave yourselves. Don't you dare touch this woman!"

"We know, we know. We definitely won't touch her!"

Brother Dao couldn't hold it in any longer and hurried off to find somewhere to relieve himself.

Only after confirming that Brother Dao had left did the fat man reveal a lewd grin and signal to the other two with his eyes.

The three of them slowly approached the unconscious Ye Mengyao.

"Little beauty... your Brother Pig is coming."

Lin Yu instantly lost his patience at the sight!

The girl he fancied was about to be violated by a few pieces of trash right in front of him?

How could he possibly tolerate that?

He charged straight out!

"Let her go!"

As an internal-force martial artist, Lin Yu possessed tremendous combat power and great speed.

He clearly knew movement techniques. In the blink of an eye, he rushed before them and threw a punch at the fat man's face. That punch, imbued with internal force, was terrifying... it twisted the fat man's face out of shape and sent five or six teeth flying.

He collapsed to the ground, coughing blood... looking like he was already halfway to his own funeral feast.

"Fatty!"

The other two cried out in alarm, grabbed iron rods from the ground, and rushed him.

Lin Yu displayed his might. His body shook as, faced with the iron rods swinging down at him from every direction, his brain considered multiple angles in an instant.

Just iron rods? Could they hurt an internal-force martial artist like me? I'll dodge!

No, no! Ye Mengyao is unconscious right now... no one will see me showing off. But if I'm seriously injured, then when Yaoyao wakes up and sees that I risked my life to save her, she'll definitely fall in love with me.

Lin Yu's CPU was practically overheating before he finally made a decision!

He would take those two blows head-on!

Bang! Bang!

"Ah~" Lin Yu let out a miserable cry. Those two hits had nearly sent him to meet his great-grandmother.

After taking the two blows, Lin Yu looked miserable... but he could still fight.

He attacked again and took care of the two lackeys in just a few moves.

"Heh... trash like you! Even when given a chance, you're still useless!"

Lin Yu spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm and wiped his mouth, exuding an air of smug superiority from head to toe.

"Yaoyao..."

Lin Yu was about to check whether Ye Mengyao had been harmed by these men...

But suddenly, alarm bells rang wildly in his heart!

Bang! A muffled gunshot rang out.
