The Supreme Beauty Fell in Love with Me

"Chairman Yang, this isn't about the money..." Li Bingyang adjusted his glasses with his right hand, whether intentionally or not, he stopped speaking at that point, but his gaze stayed fixed on the check in Yang Zi's hand.

Yang Zi's eyes flashed with a hint of disdain, and she said, "This is only the deposit. If you can handle this matter beautifully, I'll give you another million."

A million, upon hearing this number, Li Bingyang's eyes immediately filled with greed, yet his face still appeared calm, laughing, "Chairman Yang truly is a heroic woman. I'm definitely going to make friends with you. Let's not talk about money; I'll treat it as doing you a favor."

The disdain in Yang Zi's eyes grew stronger. These people who claim to be cultured are no different from the ordinary ones. They usually profess to regard money as dirt, but the moment benefits are before them, the hypocritical masks get ripped to shreds, and they still pretend to be polite.

"I'm not your friend," Yang Zi said expressionlessly, "We're merely in an employment relationship; I pay you, and you do the work. Alright, take the check. I'll be waiting for your good news."

Li Bingyang awkwardly smiled, took the check from Yang Zi's hand, quickly stuffed it into his pocket, stood up, and said, "Chairman Yang, I take my leave."

Yang Zi watched Li Bingyang's departing figure, spat lightly, unclear whether it was an expression of admiration or sarcasm, and muttered to herself, "Cultured people."

Upon leaving Yang Zi's office, Li Bingyang's eyes burned with anger, and he muttered to himself, "Damn you, you stinking bitch, just because you have some money, who the hell do you think I'm recognizing you for, if not for the sake of money."

…

Mu Bai didn't rush back home after the public trial but stayed in Tiansheng.

To be honest, her feelings for Lin Chuan weren't particularly deep initially; although the two had gone beyond a typical male-female relationship, in her heart, Lin Chuan was someone she liked more than others.

On the day of the public trial, she witnessed Lin Chuan's confession to Tang Yumeng. Suddenly, she felt that the man related to her was so romantic, and recalling the times spent with Lin Chuan, she had a strong desire to see him.

This impulse grew stronger, and she began to seek connections in Tiansheng, determined to see Lin Chuan.

In Tiansheng Prison, Lin Chuan was comfortably lying on the bed of a single cell specially set up for him.

Because Lin Chuan was a globally attention-grabbing figure, the United States provided him with special treatment.

Remembering the confession to Tang Yumeng, Lin Chuan felt a sweetness in his heart.

His relationship with Tang Yumeng had lasted so long that Lin Chuan's feelings couldn't just be described with the word love; their feelings had reached a point where neither could do without the other.

While his mind wandered with thoughts of Tang Yumeng, suddenly footsteps echoed outside his door, followed by it opening and a policeman entering, saying, "Lin Chuan, someone wants to see you."

Following the officer through several secure doors, he arrived at the prison meeting room, where a beautiful face was smiling at him.

"Mu Bai." Lin Chuan showed a surprised expression; he didn't expect that after the public trial, the first person to visit him would be Mu Bai.

Since the trial, the United States had been delaying handing Lin Chuan over to the International Prison, keeping him detained at Tiansheng Prison, and many had requested to see him, but the United States had refused for various reasons.

Lin Chuan sat down opposite Mu Bai in surprise, separated by a thick layer of glass, picking up the phone.

Mu Bai looked at Lin Chuan's surprised expression, playfully complaining, "Lin Chuan, don't you want to see me?"

"No," Lin Chuan quickly said, "I just didn't expect you to be the first one to visit me."

Mu Bai smiled with her lips closed, "Are you not happy about me visiting you?"

Lin Chuan chuckled, saying, "I never said that; you said it yourself."

Mu Bai's pretty face froze slightly, her red lips pouting high, "If you're going to say that, I'll leave." Saying this, she deliberately acted out getting up.

Lin Chuan quickly said, "You're really leaving? I never meant that."

Mu Bai never intended to leave; she turned and sat back down, saying, "Lin Chuan, you're such a jerk. It was difficult for me to get in and see you, and you didn't say anything comforting; instead, you treated me like this."

Lin Chuan felt peculiar. Logically, many people must have requested to see him, yet the United States didn't agree. What connections did Mu Bai have to get in? Could she have deeper alliances behind her?

"You're not just here to see me out of longing, are you?" Lin Chuan's expression turned serious as he looked at Mu Bai.

Mu Bai honestly just wanted to see Lin Chuan; there wasn't anything else, and Lin Chuan's question proved pointless.

"Lin Chuan, what do you mean by that." Mu Bai suddenly stood up, "I'll tell you, to see you, do you know how many people I begged?"

Seeing Mu Bai's expression, Lin Chuan realized he had been too suspicious and quickly said, "Mu Bai, I'm sorry; it's my fault. I apologize."

Mu Bai's expression finally softened, but she still looked gloomy.

Lin Chuan suddenly chuckled and said, "Seeing you today has got my heart racing. You know, since I've been stuck in this hellhole, I haven't been near a woman for ages. Come on, let me kiss you first."

With that, he pressed his lips against the glass.

Mu Bai's face turned red, and she furtively glanced around. Luckily, the police were far off and hadn't noticed. She couldn't help but curse, "You bastard, you pervert, always... "

Saying this, she bit her lip lightly and gazed charmingly at Lin Chuan, with a hint of amusement in her eyes.

Seeing Mu Bai no longer angry, Lin Chuan laughed heartily and said, "A man, when he sees such a beautiful woman, who wouldn't be moved? Besides, I've been holding back for so long. You've got to give me a little reward."

"Get lost," Mu Bai said with a deep smile in her eyes. "Let me tell you something. I heard the United States is not planning to hand you over to the International Prison. Looks like they intend to confine you here."

Mu Bai indeed had deep connections, something Lin Chuan hadn't realized before. Hearing this confirmed Lin Chuan's suspicions.

Imagine, Lin Chuan is now a person watched by the whole world. Americans wouldn't divulge such news casually. Those who have access to this kind of information are definitely not ordinary people.

Since this news is not something ordinary people can access, then how does Mu Bai know? It must be someone with deep connections who told her, someone who could also allow Mu Bai to see Lin Chuan.

Mu Bai didn't say, and Lin Chuan didn't ask, figuring that even if he asked, Mu Bai wouldn't easily reveal it.

"Being confined here isn't bad. Americans are providing for my food and drinks, I'm more than happy," Lin Chuan joked.

Mu Bai glared at Lin Chuan and said, "You bastard, there you go again. If you keep talking like that, I'll really leave."

Lin Chuan's face suddenly turned serious, saying, "Don't get involved in my business, but I do want to ask you for a favor."

Mu Bai looked at Lin Chuan, saying nothing, waiting for him to continue.

Lin Chuan continued, "Please pass a message to my brothers, just tell them I said, they should all go back, don't get involved in my business anymore."

Lin Chuan's concern wasn't unnecessary. Being confined here, Zhou Kai and two hundred or so brothers must still be in Tianshengton. This is the United States, not back home. If anything happens while I'm not around, they'd really take a big hit.

...

Lin Chuan's worries were indeed justified, Zhou Kai and they really hadn't gone back, still lingering in Tianshengton these days.

After the public trial ended, Zhou Kai led his brothers back to the Green Hotel. Little Pepper Zhou Rui was upset with Lin Chuan, sulking alone in the room, ignoring Zhou Kai and the others no matter how they knocked.

Zhou Kai, Lu Dapao, and several main members did not dare to leave Zhou Rui's room door, fearing she'd do something silly in a moment of rashness, making them bear a huge guilt.

Not until close to eight in the evening did the room door open. Zhou Rui, though looking calm, had swollen, tearful eyes and insisted on returning home immediately with a suitcase.

Zhou Kai and others tried persuading her in turns, but it was useless. They had no choice but to let Li Qiang and Huang Bo accompany Zhou Rui back home first.

Li Qiang and Huang Bo were reluctant, but dared not defy Zhou Kai, so they accompanied Zhou Rui, leaving the Green Hotel, and hailed a cab heading to the airport.

Just as the cab turned onto two streets, a dozen people suddenly rushed out from an alley, blocking the taxi.

Li Qiang and Huang Bo glanced at these people and immediately understood, having seen two of them before—they were from the group that kidnapped Taozi last time.

The taxi driver sensed something was amiss and hurriedly urged the three to get out.

Huang Bo and Li Qiang knew this group was specifically targeting them. They'd be fine, but Zhou Rui being a woman, if anything happened to her at the hands of these guys, how would they face Lin Chuan?

"Little Pepper, we'll get out, you mustn't, you let the driver take you away quickly later and inform Kai," Huang Bo stared at Zhou Rui and said.

Li Qiang followed behind Huang Bo, saying, "Right, Little Pepper, our lives are in your hands."

After saying that, the two suddenly flung the car doors open and jumped out, slamming the doors shut once out, and shouted to the driver, "Get going."

The driver, being an American, didn't understand Chinese, but he caught the drift, fired up the engine, and drove away recklessly.

Seeing Zhou Rui escape safely, the two breathed a sigh of relief and coldly glared at the surrounding dozen people.

One leader was a tall and burly black man, babbling aggressively at Li Qiang and Huang Bo.

The two couldn't understand what he was saying. Li Qiang pointed with his right hand, made a disdainful gesture, and shouted, "You son of a bitch, if you're gonna fight, then fight. What's with all the chatter?"
