" Lin Xu, are you feeling better? Is it still in pain?"
Su Youchuan seemed to come to his senses at this moment. He walked to Lin Xu's side, helped him up, and asked him about his condition with concern. He looked as if he hadn't caused Lin Xu's injuries, and the sense of disconnect was too strong.
Lin Yuyan grew even more frightened, further solidifying his resolve never to return after going abroad. This place was simply too terrifying; when had he, the young master Lin, ever witnessed such evil?
"I'm no longer in pain, Brother Chuan. My younger brother has always lived abroad and isn't very familiar with the situation here, so I'm truly sorry for offending you. I will leave the country and never appear in your way again."
As Lin Xu said this, he glanced sideways at Lin Yuyan's pathetic appearance and felt heartbroken and guilty. He felt really bad for not being able to help Su Youchuan.
"Since you've made up your mind, then get lost."
Su Youchuan looked at the large bruise on Lin Xu's waist and abdomen, and finally decided to let Lin Yuyan get lost. Lin Yuyan was taken aback when she heard this.
" Yuyan, let the doctor treat your wound, then go back. Don't come back after you go abroad."
"Okay, I've got it. Thank you for your understanding, Brother Chuan."
Seeing Lin Yuyan, Lin Xu spoke up to remind him. He finally snapped out of it, stood up, bowed to Su Youchuan, gave Lin Xu a deep look, and then left with the doctor.
He walked very fast, afraid that Su Youchuan might change his mind halfway. Even if he were killed, he would never return to the country. Su Youchuan was simply too terrifying.
After Lin Yuyan left, Han Dong took a few steps forward and said casually, "This isn't the place to talk. Let's go to my place."
So the group left the room, and the manager escorted them to the parking lot. After watching them leave, he wiped the sweat from his brow.
"They're all gods! I don't want to go to this lousy class even once more, damn it!"
The manager returned to the room, preparing to handle the aftermath, when his assistant came over and said, "Manager, Young Master Lin just dumped the man he brought with us to deal with."
"I went to check on her. She's mute, can't speak. It seems like Young Master Lin spotted her at a roadside flower shop and kidnapped her..."
"..." The manager was at his wit's end, and finally couldn't help but cover his head and curse under his breath, "Damn it! These idiots! They don't even spare the disabled! Send him to the hospital."
"He's definitely been drugged. Contact his family to come pick him up, give him some money as compensation, and tell them to move out of Shangjing so they won't be targeted again."
The assistant felt utterly disgusted, but there was nothing he could do to stop it. After all, he was just an ordinary person. Fortunately, his boss had some conscience; although he would still deduct money from his salary, he was occasionally quite generous.
"Okay, I'll take care of it right away."
The assistant responded and turned to leave. The manager, facing the complete mess, felt a splitting headache. "Oh dear, what a mess this is..."
Shang Shujue was unaware of what was happening on Su Youchuan's side. He and Song Yanqing were still having a meal at the rooftop restaurant, enjoying their meal, when suddenly a strong perfume scent wafted over.
Before Shang Shujue could find the source, someone stood next to him. Song Yanqing, who was eating, looked up and frowned slightly.
Shang Shujue noticed Song Yanqing's gaze first, then realized that the person hadn't left his side, so he turned to look at him.
The woman was wearing a black off-the-shoulder halter-neck dress with lace detailing. The dress was layered with tulle, and paired with her carefully styled hairstyle and decorative accessories, she looked elegant and beautiful.
She was a very beautiful woman, but Shang Shujue was quite certain that he didn't know her, so he raised his eyebrows slightly and asked her with a hint of doubt.
"Madam, is there anything I can help you with?"
The woman standing next to Shang Shujue stared at his handsome face for a while before turning her gaze to Song Yanqing, a smile playing on her lips as if she were teasing him.
"Now I understand why you, Song Yanqing, would risk everything for your confidant. He's even more handsome than in the photos. If it were me, I'd be willing to fight for him too."
Shang Shujue stared blankly at Song Yanqing, completely bewildered. "...???"
Song Yanqing's brows were already furrowed. " Qu Lin, what are you doing here?"
When Shang Shujue heard Song Yanqing call out the name, he was taken aback. He had no recollection of it, and it seemed that this character's name hadn't appeared in the original story either.
[Host, this Qu Lin is the illegitimate daughter of the original owner Song Yanqing's second uncle in the original world. Her background is quite complicated. She was almost drowned by her own mother after she was born.]
She grew up with many stumbles and falls, only to be manipulated and forced to seize power, nearly dying in the process. Later, she swiftly and decisively removed the original owner's eldest brother, Song Yanqing, from his position as heir. If the Song Family hadn't been united enough, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
She's a talented person who knows what she wants, ambitious and resourceful. She and the original Song Yanqing are mortal enemies who can't stand each other. She's only here now because she's genuinely curious about you.
I will monitor her in real time. She shows no malice towards the host, so there's no need to worry about her. She has no connection with Su Youchuan, and there will be no further involvement. She has high standards and never chooses mediocre partners.
In her mind, all men who like to have casual sex are trash, and people like Su Youchuan are...
Shang Shujue: "..."6...
"What? You own this rooftop restaurant? You're allowed to come and eat, but I'm not?"
"..." Song Yanqing was speechless after being rebuked. He wasn't very good at arguing. After all, sometimes when he argued with Shang Shujue, he could only give up helplessly and shut the other party up with his actions.
Shang Shujue: "..."Wow, you're amazing.
As soon as Qu Lin finished speaking, she pulled out a chair and sat down. Her gaze shifted to the table, glancing at the seafood, then at Song Yanqing, before looking at Shang Shujue with a knowing expression.
"Wow, such a lavish meal! Song Yanqing, your tastes are so varied! I remember you never eat seafood. Why today... Oh, I see."
Shang Shujue: "..." What do you even know?!
