Chapter 660: Chapter 0660: Have You Ever Encountered Such a Situation?
Yan Qingdi gave a wry smile, "Uncle Lin, he really might have leverage over us!"
"There was surveillance in the restaurant at the time!"
"You didn’t take care of it?" Lin Wenyuan’s face suddenly turned stern.
Looking at Lin Wenyuan’s unfriendly expression, Yan Qingdi truly felt like giving Lin Wenyuan a piece of his mind. 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
Damn it, how could I take care of it? Ye Xunhuan was still there, and besides, who the hell would have thought that far ahead?
Moreover, it wasn’t any of my business anyway.
"Uncle Lin, the situation was a bit delicate at the time, I didn’t have the opportunity to deal with it, and by the time I came to my senses, it was already too late!" Yan Qingdi no longer spoke as respectfully as before, his voice now carrying a hint of dissatisfaction with Lin Wenyuan.
"Uncle Lin, since you are here, I’ll leave Lin Minor in your care. I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll be going now!"
Having said that, Yan Qingdi made to leave.
"Yan Qingdi, you’re just going to let this matter be?"
"Uncle Lin, this matter really didn’t involve me!" Yan Qingdi replied coolly, "How can I give up on something that wasn’t mine to concede?"
"And your face, did it get like that by accident?"
"Yes, I was slapped by Ye Xunhuan. It’s embarrassing, but I don’t want to go home and be scolded!" Yan Qingdi said indifferently. "After all, we were the ones at fault to begin with, and if we are to trace the source of this slap, it was indeed courtesy of Lin Minor!"
"I told him not to mess around, but he didn’t listen, and look what happened—he played with fire!"
Even a clay Buddha has some anger, let alone Yan Qingdi.
Although Lin Wenyuan was an elder by generational rank, he wasn’t part of the Yan family. Now, with Lin Wenyuan’s attitude towards him, Yan Qingdi felt no need to be polite to Lin Wenyuan either.
After hearing Yan Qingdi’s words, a temperate rage flickered across Lin Wenyuan’s face, "So, you’re saying it was my Qingyun who dragged you into this mess?"
"Strictly speaking, yes!" Yan Qingdi said blandly. "Uncle Lin, my advice to you is that you really should discipline Lin Minor properly!"
"The girlfriend of Feng Xingjiu was already an example. If this plays out further, even if you have the ability to reach the heavens, you won’t be able to protect him. The Lin family doesn’t revolve around him alone. If Grandfather Lin learns that he has offended the son of Qin Fenghuang, what will happen? I think you know better than I do!"
"Yan Qingdi, what do you mean by that?" Lin Wenyuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
"It means nothing!" Yan Qingdi said softly. "I really must be going; I have business to attend to!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Qingdi left the hospital.
Watching Yan Qingdi’s retreating figure, a volatile mix of emotions played across Lin Wenyuan’s face.
As soon as Yan Qingdi stepped out of the hospital, he spat out in disdain: "What a joke, if it weren’t for me, your son would be dead by now. It’s fine not to thank me, but to be so haughty!"
"Who do you think you are, the Almighty?"
As his words fell, Yan Qingdi began to look forward with some anticipation to Lin Wenyuan’s next move. If Lin Wenyuan really insisted on going head-to-head with Ye Xunhuan, then there might be a good show to watch.
As for himself, he would rather die than get involved. Although he was slapped, he could endure it, knowing that forbearance can settle waves, and a gentleman seeks revenge—it’s never too late even after ten years!
...
Ye Xunhuan was utterly unaware that the Lin family from the capital had sent someone. At this moment, he had arrived at the Imperial Map Corporation for work.
However, he seemed somewhat distracted, not even in the mood for playing games.
Qianhuan Liuyun was clearly determined to take Lin Qingyun down, and Ye Xunhuan had to help him. Otherwise, Qianhuan Liuyun alone wouldn’t be able to cope.
But where was Lin Qingyun right now?
Qianhuan Liuyun had searched for most of the night without any luck; Yan Qingdi had hidden him well.
Ye Xunhuan had to find him!
Suddenly, the phone on Ye Xunhuan’s desk started ringing.
Upon hearing the phone’s ring, Ye Xunhuan immediately answered it.
No sooner had the phone been answered than Qiu Ruoxi’s icy voice reached Ye Xunhuan’s ear.
"I’ve sent the secretary with Zilin to see you. Check if you have any work available there for her to do, and arrange something!"
"No, but wife, whatever she wants to do, couldn’t you just arrange it yourself? Why on earth do I have to do the arranging!"
"I’m a bit busy, don’t have time!"
"I’m also very busy, dealing with Lin Qingyun’s stuff is giving me a big headache right now..."
Before Ye Xunhuan could finish his sentence, Qiu Ruoxi hung up the phone directly, leaving him feeling rather frustrated—some people just can’t be managed without a tight leash!
Soon after hanging up, a knock sounded from outside the door of Ye Xunhuan’s office.
"Come in!"
As soon as Ye Xunhuan’s words fell, the door was promptly opened.
In the next moment, two striking figures appeared at the doorway.
Ye Xunhuan was slightly startled when he saw who it was.
Qianhuan Lanqin?
Had this woman really become Qiu Ruoxi’s secretary?
Ye Xunhuan had sent Qianhuan Lanqin and Qianhuan Liuyun to protect Qiu Ruoxi within the Huangtu Group, but he hadn’t been sure if they had successfully made it to her side.
It seemed they had succeeded now.
Qianhuan Lanqin was dressed in a typical urban professional woman’s attire now, which had quite the allure of a uniform.
"Mr. Ye, the president asked me to bring Miss Wang over and have you assign her a job!"
Qianhuan Lanqin, a clever woman, didn’t call Ye Xunhuan ’master’ in front of Wang Zilin.
Ye Xunhuan was pleased with this and nodded, "I got it, you don’t have to worry about it, go back to work!"
"Yes!"
Qianhuan Lanqin didn’t stay to chat, and respectfully left Ye Xunhuan’s office.
After Qianhuan Lanqin had left, Ye Xunhuan stood up from behind his desk and said to Wang Zilin, "Don’t just stand there, feel free to take a seat. You don’t have to be so formal!"
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Wang Zilin nodded and carefully sat down on the sofa, looking quite restrained!
"You’re not that scared of me, are you?"
Wang Zilin shook her head and said, "Thank you for yesterday!"
"Don’t mention it, it’s what I should do!" Ye Xunhuan exhaled in relief when he heard Wang Zilin speak; he had been worried the young lady would stay silent.
"As long as you weren’t frightened!"
"I wasn’t!" Wang Zilin said directly, "If it weren’t for you, I..."
"If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have encountered such a situation!"
"Would you really have killed him?"
"Do you think he deserved to die?"
"Yes!" Wang Zilin said emphatically.
Ye Xunhuan was taken aback by Wang Zilin’s response, looking at her in disbelief.
At that moment, Wang Zilin seemed like a different person: The eyes that were normally full of vivacity now held a slight sharpness, even her facial expression turned a shade grim, and her fair, delicate hands were slowly joining together.
She was nothing like the shy young girl she used to be!
Upon witnessing this, a wave of confusion rose in Ye Xunhuan’s heart: What was going on?
Could it be that the events with Lin Qingyun yesterday deeply traumatized her?
But even so, could a girl of seventeen or eighteen really be contemplating someone’s death?
Or had she encountered something similar before?
"Zilin, have you gone through something like this before?"
At Ye Xunhuan’s words, Wang Zilin’s face changed slightly!
