Rescuing Superstar Lin Qingyue

"Hahaha, saying it like that makes us seem close."

"Hmph, I'm telling you, I handed over my entire fortune to you. Don't betray my trust!"

"Mm-hmm. If we lose it all, I'll take responsibility for you!"

"Pfft, who wants you to take responsibility? So gross~"

"Fine, then let me put it another way. From now on, I'm yours!"

Gu Lianyin: "Shameless~"

She lay on her bed, smiling like a flower, too amused to laugh out loud.

That night, Tianhua Biotech Group released an announcement.

It claimed to have developed an effective anti-cancer drug and was preparing for mass production.

It instantly shot to the top of the trending searches.

The next day, Tianhua Biotech Group's stock soared.

By the afternoon close, it had risen a full ten percent!

In other words, in a single day, Lin Yuan had turned one million into a profit of one hundred thousand!

When Lin Yuan told Gu Lianyin about it, she was completely stunned.

"My God! That much?"

"Hahaha, now just wait to collect your money. It can keep rising for several more days."

Lin Yuan said with a smile.

After class, Gu Lianyin went back and shared the good news with her best friend, Ling Wanqing.

Ling Wanqing was equally surprised when she heard it.

"That's so much money. Sell it quickly! One hundred thousand is more than enough. You can't be too greedy!"

Ling Wanqing warned her.

"But Lin Yuan said it can still rise. There's no rush to sell. I believe him!"

"Sell or don't sell, it's not my money anyway."

The third day.

"Tianhua Biotech rose another eleven percent today. I made over one hundred and ten thousand!"

"Sell it. It's risen so much that it'll probably fall tomorrow."

"No! Lin Yuan said I absolutely can't sell!"

The fourth day.

"Wanqing, Wanqing, guess how much I made today?"

"How much?"

"One hundred and fifty thousand!"

"???!!!"

The fifth day.

"Wanqing, Wanqing, I'm treating you to a big meal today!"

"What, did you make money again today?"

"Not that much. Only eighty thousand."

The sixth day.

"Wanqing, Wanqing, let's go eat something fancy!"

"Lianyin, I suddenly kind of want to buy stocks too..."

Ling Wanqing had been insanely envious these past few days. Watching Lianyin make so much money, she wanted to buy in as well.

"Didn't you say it was dangerous after rising so high and tell me to sell? Why do you want to buy now instead?"

Gu Lianyin smiled teasingly, as excited as an underage child.

"My dear Lianyin~"

Ling Wanqing hugged Gu Lianyin's arm and shook it hard, pleading coquettishly, "Please, ask your boyfriend Lin Yuan whether it's still not too late to buy in~"

"Y-you, what nonsense are you talking about? He isn't my boyfriend!"

Gu Lianyin protested bashfully.

"Isn't he? Come on, just ask him for me, okay? Or give me his contact information and I'll ask him myself."

"No!"

"Why not? You still won't admit he's your boyfriend? You're saying one thing and meaning another!"

In the end, Gu Lianyin could not outargue Ling Wanqing. She took out her phone and consulted Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan replied quickly.

"You can still buy, but the gains won't be as high as they were over the past few days. You can still make a small profit, though."

"But I have one condition. When I sell, your best friend has to sell too. If she doesn't and loses money, that's none of my business!"

Having gotten the answer she wanted, Ling Wanqing immediately used all of her allowance money to buy Tianhua Biotech Group stock.

It came to over three hundred thousand!

Elsewhere, Lin Yuan took a taxi to an urban district more than ten kilometers away.

Tonight, the famous actress Lin Qingyue would be followed by an obsessive fan while out alone, then kidnapped. Her body would later be found in a nearby abandoned factory.

He was going to stop it from happening.

As for why he was doing this?

Since he knew a tragedy was about to happen, Lin Yuan could not simply stand by and act like it had nothing to do with him.

Besides, both he and his mother were fans of Lin Qingyue, making it even more necessary for him to save her.

Lin Yuan quickly found the abandoned factory where the tragedy would occur.

He first observed its layout and terrain, making sure nothing could go wrong.

Then he took out the tools he had prepared.

Super-strength pepper spray, a telescopic baton, and more.

All that remained was a long wait.

He did not know where Lin Qingyue lived nearby, nor did he know where she would be kidnapped.

He only knew that the culprit would bring her here tied up.

That would be when he made his move.

It was already eight in the evening. Stars dotted the sky, and the sound of passing vehicles could be heard in the distance.

The abandoned factory was utterly silent, giving it an eerie atmosphere.

Lin Yuan sprayed himself with insect repellent and remained alert to every movement nearby.

When the time reached ten thirty at night, a sneaky figure appeared in his sight!

A broad, heavily built man strode into the abandoned factory with a woman slung over his shoulder.
