Chapter 1413 - 1407: Special Services
The two were entangled on the bed when Lin Chuan's phone rang.
Lin Chuan stopped his actions on Mu Hong and turned to get the phone, but Mu Hong was in a moment of excitement, holding Lin Chuan's body tightly, letting out alluring breaths.
Damn it, Lin Chuan cursed silently, ignoring whether the phone was ringing or not, focusing on playing with Mu Hong's body.
Just when Lin Chuan barely started again, the phone rang once more. This time Lin Chuan didn't hesitate, got up to grab the phone, and saw it was Tang Yumeng calling.
Lin Chuan didn't want Tang Yumeng to know that he was doing such things with Mu Hong, so he jumped off the bed stark naked, and walked into the bathroom to answer the call.
"Lin Chuan, where are you? Sister Du is waiting for you here." As soon as the call connected, Tang Yumeng's angry voice came through.
Right, he had promised Du Yuwei yesterday to go to East Sea County with her this morning. Seeing the time was close to nine o'clock, Lin Chuan had no mood to tangle with Mu Hong any longer, so he came out of the bathroom and hurriedly put on his clothes.
Seeing Lin Chuan getting dressed to leave, Mu Hong got out of bed naked and hugged Lin Chuan tightly.
Lin Chuan turned around, looked at Mu Hong, and said, "I have some matters to attend to in East Sea County, I'll come back and find you later."
Hearing Lin Chuan say this, Mu Hong said nothing and turned back to the bed.
Honestly, with Mu Hong, what Lin Chuan had with her was just a moment of impulse, not really a relationship to speak of.
Facing Mu Hong's silent attitude, Lin Chuan didn't comfort her. He just glanced at her, put on his clothes, and left.
When he returned to the Sichuan University Group, Tang Yumeng and Du Yuwei were already waiting for him. Lin Chuan noticed that Tang Yumeng looked a bit upset, knowing she was angry.
"Yumeng, I'm sorry, last night..." Lin Chuan tried to explain, but Tang Yumeng interrupted him, saying, "No need to say anything. Just quickly take care of Sister Du's matter first."
Lin Chuan said nothing more, called for Du Yuwei, and drove off with her towards East Sea County.

Lai Xiaole had been searching for Yan Xin'er for days without any news, and the orphanage's situation was becoming urgent.
Since running into Yan Xin'er with Shang Lin on the street that day, Lai Xiaole found out that Yan Xin'er had also come to Jiangbei City, but their meeting wasn't pleasant; after a few exchanges, Yan Xin'er ran off.
Shang Lin was very attentive about Lai Xiaole's promise to help the orphanage, calling him almost daily to follow up.
As the two met frequently, they developed a sudden liking for each other.
Truth be told, Lai Xiaole quite liked Shang Lin and was interested in pursuing a relationship with her.
Shang Lin, too, had a good impression of Lai Xiaole and was willing to develop their relationship further.
That afternoon, it wasn't yet six o'clock when Shang Lin got off work and received a call from Lai Xiaole, asking to take her out for dinner.
Agreeing, Shang Lin tidied up and waited at the city bureau entrance for Lai Xiaole to pick her up.
However, Lai Xiaole hadn't arrived, and instead, a man and a woman approached her. The woman was someone Shang Lin had seen before—Yan Xin'er, the one who argued with Lai Xiaole that day.
And accompanying Yan Xin'er was none other than Liu Bin, whom they had met not long ago.
Liu Bin had a bit of a rogue demeanor and could be quite thuggish, and he was also associated with Yang Zi.
Yan Xin'er met Liu Bin, who took her to see Yang Zi. Yang Zi, being perceptive, immediately realized Yan Xin'er was no ordinary woman. If Yan Xin'er could assist him, his plans could come to fruition.
Yang Zi, once having made up her mind, never shows her intentions on the surface easily, letting Liu Bin bring Yan Xin'er along.
Yan Xin'er, being herself, learned that Yang Zi intended harm towards Ye Ling. Although she didn't know why, she felt it necessary to inform Lai Xiaole.
She had called Lai Xiaole several times, but there was no answer. She understood that to find Lai Xiaole, she must first locate the woman who was with him that day.
After some twists and turns, Yan Xin'er finally learned Shang Lin's identity, so she decided to come to find her.
Upon seeing Yan Xin'er, Shang Lin had an indescribable feeling in her heart. That day, when she and Xiao Le ran into Yan Xin'er on the street, judging from their arguing, the relationship between this woman and Xiao Le was definitely not ordinary.
...
When Lin Chuan and Du Yuwei arrived in East Sea County, it was just past two in the afternoon.
Lin Chuan came to East Sea County mainly to help Du Yuwei solve some troubles. The most direct way to find Yang Biao was to go to him directly, but Lin Chuan didn't want to alert the enemy. He asked Du Yuwei to go home first and wait for his news.
After Du Yuwei left, Lin Chuan drove directly to a massage and foot spa in the town center.
After parking the car, Lin Chuan walked in. A man in his thirties was at the counter talking to a staff member. Suddenly, he looked up and saw Lin Chuan. His expression froze, and he then exclaimed, "Lin Chuan, you, why are you here?"
Lin Chuan smiled slightly and said, "What, not welcoming me?"
The man laughed heartily and said, "You're a mysterious figure, hard to see. I'm too eager to welcome you, please have a seat."
This man, named Huang Liyong, is the only friend Lin Chuan knows in East Sea County. Before Lin Chuan joined the Dark Soldier unit, they were comrades.
After exchanging some pleasantries, Lin Chuan straightforwardly asked about Yang Biao's situation.
Upon hearing that Lin Chuan was inquiring about Yang Biao, Huang Liyong had an inkling that Lin Chuan was here to cause trouble for Yang Biao.
Yang Biao's name is well-known in the small place of East Sea County. Speaking of Yang Biao, Huang Liyong's words were filled with a sense of indignation.
Huang Liyong told Lin Chuan that Yang Biao is the local tyrant of East Sea County. Almost no one dares to provoke him. He relies on some connections from above to do evil and commit all kinds of wrongdoings.
As the two were talking, suddenly they heard a rough shout from outside: "Damn it, where's everyone gone?"
Following a loud male voice, the glass door of the massage parlor was pushed open, and four or five men walked in. The leader was a tall, muscular man with a buzz cut, bare upper body, wearing big shorts on the lower half, and flip-flops on his feet.
A large, gleaming gold chain hung around the short, thick neck of the man, emitting a dazzling golden light in the sun!
If the men following this leader didn't look like they were dressed as members of a gang, Lin Chuan and Huang Liyong would have thought he was some nouveau riche coming to their massage shop for fun. But seeing the burly fellows behind him, they both understood that these men were up to no good!
"Haha, are you here for a massage? Do you want a foot massage or a full body massage? Our massage therapists have superb skills and first-class service, ensuring you leave happy and satisfied. May I know what service you are…?" Huang Liyong immediately greeted them with a smile. Regardless of their purpose, avoiding conflict was the best policy!
Before Huang Liyong could finish, one of the men behind the gold-chain-wearing leader stepped forward, looked at Huang Liyong with disdain, and asked, "Are you the owner of this little shop?"
"Yes, may I ask what service you need?" Huang Liyong continued to nod and bow, knowing that in society, to make money, one must learn to be humble. Through years of experience, Huang Liyong was well-versed in this!
"Hmph!" The man with the gold chain snorted coldly, walked to the side, and pulled over a chair to sit down.
Huang Liyong's heart tightened, a cold sweat formed on his back. The chair the man sat on was one he had just bought.
Huang Liyong had bought four chairs in total, having already 'broken' one himself just now. There were three remaining. If the chair he had sat on was of poor quality, the chair the man with the gold chain was about to sit on likely wasn't much better!
Looking at the man with the gold chain's physique, much sturdier than his own, Huang Liyong was about to speak up to stop him, but the man sat down heavily. However, the scene Huang Liyong feared didn't happen; the man crossed his legs, and one of his followers immediately pulled out a cigarette and lit it for the man, who sat there looking leisurely and entirely at ease, and the chair showed no signs of strain under him!
"Thank heavens!" Huang Liyong quietly breathed a sigh of relief. No matter their purpose, if they got hurt in his shop, they'd surely demand a hefty compensation!
"Let me tell you, this is our Brother Hui. From now on, this area will be under our Brother Hui's control?" announced the man who spoke earlier, once again pompously.
"Control? Haha, alright, alright. So, what service do you gentlemen need from our little shop?" Huang Liyong feigned ignorance but wondered inside. He had been running this small shop for so long without provoking any local thugs. Why were they suddenly visiting today?
"Service? Haha, what services do you have here? Do you have any special services?" The man wearing the gold chain suddenly burst into laughter, sneering as he spoke.
Huang Liyong's face darkened. He knew that many massage parlors offered the kind of special services this man mentioned, which was why many people looked at him with disdain after learning he was a massage parlor owner! But the massage parlor that Huang Liyong ran provided genuine massage services; the clientele was mainly white-collar workers who suffered from back and waist pain from sitting in offices all day!
Even though he felt indignant being insulted by these men, Huang Liyong remained calm and said in an even tone, "We only offer massages here, none of those special services you mentioned. If you need that kind of service, you should go to a different massage parlor!"
