Chapter 1390 - 1384: You're a Good Person
Lin Chuan knew that since the shadowy forces from Japan wanted them to get close to him, they would definitely find an excuse to send them over, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
Does this mean that the Japanese side is also about to make a move against him?
Lin Chuan immediately launched a charm offensive. After returning to the company, he explained his relationship with Xingzi and Meijia to Tang Yumeng and personally drove to the hotel to meet the two women.
This time, they came under the pretense of holding a concert in Jiangbei City. Of course, they couldn't openly stay with Lin Chuan but were instead arranged by the agency to stay at a hotel.
Lin Chuan went to meet them so quickly as a performance for their agency, making their "achievements" seem more credible.
"Mr. Lin!" Seeing Lin Chuan suddenly appear in front of them, the two young women were naturally very happy, and Lin Chuan could tell that this emotion was definitely not feigned.
The two of them had now completely become pawns of the agency, and the gentle warmth of the past had been completely torn apart. One can imagine the immense pressure these two weak girls were under in a wolf-like environment.
The bodyguards who followed them saw that Lin Chuan was very familiar with the two women and did not stop him.
"Haha, don't call out so loudly; there are quite a few people passing by here. Let's find a quiet place to talk," Lin Chuan intentionally said this for the bodyguards to hear. The bedrooms of the two young girls might have listening devices installed, and if their conversation was eavesdropped on, that would be a big problem.
Xingzi reacted quickly, immediately understanding Lin Chuan's intentions, and suggested going to the hotel's swimming pool. They had already reserved Pool Number One, ensuring there would be no disturbances, and the area was spacious enough that even if someone wanted to install surveillance equipment, it would be impossible to succeed.
Especially since it wasn't inside the main hotel building but on the other side of the hotel park, the place was relatively quiet, with very few people around.
Telling the bodyguards not to follow them, the two women followed Lin Chuan to the pool.
In the eyes of the agency people, this further proved the relationship between Lin Chuan and the two women. In their minds, what could happen when two beautiful girls and a man were alone in a deserted swimming pool?
They could let their imaginations run wild.
"So, what do you think? Did they suspect you?" Lin Chuan lay on a deck chair, watching the two women play happily in the pool, feeling a sense of relaxation in his heart.
It was clear that the two young girls had been under too much pressure before, and it was only with him by their side that they could play so carefreely.
"No, they probably never thought we would betray them. Not only did they not suspect anything, but they also praised us greatly," Xingzi said as she played catch with a water ball with Meijia.
"That's good. So, what was the purpose of having you come here this time?" Lin Chuan asked.
"This time, it's more complicated. We might need to find a way to stay by your side," Xingzi said, executing a beautiful spike that hit Meijia's small face, making the girl retaliate vigorously in anger.
"Probably because last time we described you as a lecherous ghost, Nozu thought you would be easy to handle, so he asked us to speed up the process, hoping to officially become your lovers. That way, it would be easier to gather intelligence," Xingzi laughed.
"Haha, looks like I was right in guessing that the people behind them are a bit impatient. By the way, did you manage to find out who's pulling the strings behind the scenes?" Lin Chuan said.
"No," Meijia said cautiously, glancing at Lin Chuan to make sure he wasn't displeased before continuing, "We are very cautious inside the agency, afraid of arousing their suspicion. Xingzi tried to probe a few times but couldn't get any information, and we didn't dare to ask too urgently."
Lin Chuan mused, "Hmm, forget it. Being cautious never hurt anyone."
Meijia said, "Mr. Lin, can we stay here a little longer? We haven't been this relaxed in ages. Since the last incident, the agency people have completely changed their attitude towards us, and we're terrified."
Lin Chuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, they won't dare to act recklessly on Chinese soil, and I'll protect you. Besides, the longer we stay here, the more intense the 'battle' seems, and I'm sure they'd be more than happy."
Hearing Lin Chuan's words, Xingzi and Meijia blushed again. But Xingzi suddenly grew bold and said, "Mr. Lin, if you really want us to accompany you, we'd be willing! Because we know you're a good person!"
Lin Chuan almost fell off the deck chair. These two girls really dared to say anything, heedless of getting into "trouble," and quickly said, "Well, let's talk about that later. The crisis isn't over yet, and we need to keep a clear head, you understand?"
Xingzi and Meijia nodded in a somewhat puzzled manner and said, "Understood. Then, Mr. Lin, why don't you come down and play with us? Relaxing is good for keeping a clear mind."
Lin Chuan smiled wryly, "That's enough for now. You two are quite the flirts. For you, it's relaxation; for me, it's a torment like having a delicious meal in front of me that I can't eat. I'll just lie here and rest."
Nozu from the agency returned to the hotel, only to suddenly find Xingzi and Meijia missing, and it was only after questioning the two bodyguards that he learned it was because Lin Chuan had come.
He couldn't help but feel a secret thrill—Lin Chuan must have just learned about Xingzi and Meijia arriving in China but rushed over so eagerly, which meant their relationship was progressing smoothly!
Especially since it was already sunset and they were still by the pool, Nozu felt even more triumphant. Even if they were really playing in the pool, it couldn't take so long. Clearly, they had been doing other things in there for a long time. It's a pity that he hadn't prepared in advance to record such scenes; otherwise, it would be a significant blow to the Sichuan University's image if he released such a video online to deal with Lin Chuan.
He'd also heard that Lin Chuan had an unusual relationship with the vice president of the Sichuan University Group. If this could create a rift between them, even better.
However, now that it was dark, and with fewer people passing through the park, could this be a "special" opportunity?
Nozu stared out the window, a deeply inscrutable look in his eyes.
Lin Chuan also didn't expect the two of them to play so wildly. By the time they woke him up, it was already dark outside.
Although there were streetlights in the park, the distant grove was pitch black and looked a bit creepy.
The two women realized they had played a bit too much this time and let Lin Chuan scold them without daring to talk back.
Suddenly, Lin Chuan stopped, his whole body like a pouncing leopard, scaring Xingzi and Meijia into a jump, and they exclaimed in unison, "Mr. Lin, something wrong?"
Lin Chuan kept his eyes fixed on a large tree to the right and said quietly, "You two stand here and don't move. Something's not right."
Xingzi and Meijia exchanged glances, but not knowing what was happening, they followed Lin Chuan's orders.
Lin Chuan suddenly picked up a stone from the ground and, using it as a hidden weapon, shot it towards the trunk of a distant tree.
He didn't directly attack the suspicious spot he noticed. Instead, he calculated the angle so that with a ricochet from another tree, it would hit behind the trunk!
"Whoosh!"
A dark figure suddenly sprang out from behind. Realizing they had been discovered, they made no further attempt to conceal their intentions and charged towards Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan moved simultaneously!
His body turned into a faint shadow, and at some point, he had picked up another conical stone, striking through the air with a slicing sound towards the shadow!
Seeing Lin Chuan's fierce attack, the whole person suddenly turned into a phantom, dodging right under Lin Chuan's nose. Such skill was terrifying, likely Japanese ninjutsu.
Judging by the stranger's skills, this person was probably a master of ninjutsu.
Before they could even stabilize their stance upon landing, Lin Chuan's next wave of attacks was already upon them!
Originally, the high-level ninja could have been evenly matched against Lin Chuan, but they hadn't expected Lin Chuan to see through their ninjutsu, directly pursuing and engaging them.
This unexpected disadvantage in a contest of masters is crucial as the slightest edge once gained is difficult to recover from!
Lin Chuan's attack was also straightforward. Given his speed, he unleashed blade-like attacks densely and continuously, like a torrential downpour, making dodging feel impossible even for a nimble opponent.
"Pop!" With a sound, Lin Chuan's stone finally struck the dark figure. Although it was impossible to subdue them with just a stone, it carried the powerful force of Lin Chuan.
The shadow flew back several steps, knowing continuing the fight would surely lead to defeat by Lin Chuan. They used their final trump card, transforming in the night's darkness to appear as if they had six arms, lunging forward at Lin Chuan.
One person certainly couldn't grow four more arms, it was merely an illusion formed by the speed of their punches in the dim light.
Lin Chuan smiled coldly, suddenly sinking his body so that the punches all missed, then with his right hand supporting his entire body, he executed a side kick with such force it seemed like it carried a thousand pounds of strength, an unstoppable sweeping power. The shadow, knowing trouble when their offensive missed, clumsily dodged the kick thanks to their agility, but couldn't avoid Lin Chuan's following iron fist!
