Chapter 1379 1374: Stirring Up Trouble
"..."
Li Lin wanted to say something, but he was interrupted before he could speak.
"What's wrong with you? Didn't I give you the money? Why aren't you leaving yet?" Xie Wenwen looked at Su Chen, who was lingering in the private room.
Then she glanced at the visibly uncomfortable Young Master Li and the company executives, feeling rather agitated.
"Young Master Li, do you think I should leave now?" Su Chen smirked at Li Lin.
The smile on Li Lin's face was forced. Could he dare tell Su Chen to leave?
Even if he had the courage of a bear and the heart of a leopard, he wouldn't dare.
Just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted again.
"Yo, you're quite cocky, huh? Since you know Young Master Li, do you really think you belong here? Leave before the young master gets angry, or you won't have a chance to leave later." Li Lin's sidekick said.
Dammit!
At that moment, Li Lin felt like he'd been duped, what the hell... this is a setup!
Do you know who this gentleman is?
If he asked me to leave the room now, I wouldn't hesitate, and yet you tell him to leave?
Li Lin really didn't want to end up like Shengu Ji, getting stabbed three times and then kicked out. With his feeble body, three stabs might cost him half his life!
He finally reached his limit.
Li Lin suddenly erupted, furiously punching his sidekick sitting nearby.
"Do you know how to talk? Do you know how to talk? Do you know how to talk?!"
The violent beating left everyone in the private room stunned.
Li Lin's attacks were quite fierce, and within moments, his sidekick could only curl up on the floor continuously screaming, unable to stand up.
Li Lin's savage side even left Zhang Feng in shock.
He and Li Lin were old acquaintances, but over the years he had never seen Li Lin like this.
"Young Master Li, wasn't that a bit excessive?" Zhang Feng said to the panting Li Lin.
But he didn't expect Li Lin to glare at him with fiery red eyes.
Zhang Feng was taken aback, "Li Lin, what's gotten into you? Didn't you say we were here to discuss the project today? Why are you causing this mess?"
"Let's meet again after you sort things out." Sensing that things weren't right, Zhang Feng said without hesitation.
He intended to leave with his two sidekicks.
But seated nearby, Su Chen spoke up.
"Hold on."
Those two simple words made Zhang Feng feel as if his feet were anchored to the ground.
Though he didn't quite understand who Su Chen was, he wasn't lacking in intelligence, especially with his family being involved in significant business dealings.
From Li Lin's recent reaction, he noticed something; this young man was not simple and perhaps possessed abilities that even Li Lin feared.
Thus, he decided not to get involved in this turbulent situation. As for his cooperation with Li Lin, it could wait until Li Lin had dealt with his issues.
But now, with Su Chen suddenly calling to them, he couldn't help but feel a jolt of apprehension.
"What advice do you have, my friend?" Zhang Feng humbly and deferentially asked Su Chen.
"Are you friends with Li Lin?"
Su Chen casually asked this question, leaving Zhang Feng confused. Friends with Li Lin?
What kind of mystery was embedded in this question? How should he respond to Su Chen?
Should he say yes or no?
After a long silence, Zhang Feng awkwardly yet courteously replied to Su Chen, "My friend, I am not friends with Young Master Li, just happened to dine together today."
"Oh? Not friends? So I don't need to hold back?"
"No, no, no, I am friends with Li Lin, very good friends." Zhang Feng quickly said.
"Li Lin, is he your friend, actually?" Su Chen suddenly looked playfully at Li Lin.
Facing Su Chen, Li Lin dared not act disrespectfully. He respectfully said to Su Chen, "I am friends with Zhang Feng, but we don't get along very well."
"Oh? Since you don't get along well, you're still willing to hang out together?" Su Chen sneered.
"I..." Li Lin suddenly realized the reason, a woman!
Exactly, how could a man of Su Chen's caliber trouble him for no reason, the issue stems from a woman!
But which woman?
His gaze wandered over the women in the private room.
Which one...
He scanned the women one by one, and finally, his gaze settled on Xiao Yifei.
Amonst the women present, it seemed only her could be worthy of Su Chen's intervention?
Li Lin felt somewhat annoyed; last time it was the woman named Ouyang what? Now he just happened to meet this one, without even touching yet, how did he run into Su Chen again.
"If you like her, she's all yours." Saying this, Li Lin pushed Xiao Yifei toward Su Chen.
Xiao Yifei was originally in high heels, unsuspecting at this, and was directly pushed to the ground by Li Lin.
At this moment, Xiao Yifei realized Li Lin seemed very afraid of Su Chen? Could it be… this man has some big background?
"Ah!" Realizing she was falling to the ground, Xiao Yifei couldn't help but cry out.
Fortunately, Su Chen acted swiftly to catch Xiao Yifei.
The atmosphere became somewhat heavy.
But except for Su Chen and Xiao Yifei, no one else in the room dared utter a word.
"Ahem, Xiao Yifei, are you alright?" Su Chen coughed, gently helping Xiao Yifei to her feet.
Xiao Yifei's face flushed, murmuring, "No, no problem."
"Okay."
He nodded slightly to Xiao Yifei, then glanced at Li Lin and the others. "How much did you say you're paying for her to accompany you?"
Seeing Su Chen speaking, Li Lin shook his head vigorously. Is this a joke, who would dare acknowledge it at a time like this? Is he tired of living?
"Twenty-five thousand US Dollars, right? How about I accompany you for that price?" Su Chen said casually.
Li Lin's head shook as if it was a rattling drum, "Am I looking for death like an old man gobbling arsenic?"
Now Li Lin only wanted to leave here and never see Su Chen again.
"Your nod means you've agreed. Transfer the money to her account, hurry up, I'm waiting."
Li Lin: "..."
Nodding means agreeing? Why don't you just fly to heaven?
But since Su Chen had spoken, how dare he refuse. He immediately instructed his sidekick to transfer the money.
Soon, Xiao Yifei's phone received a second message.
Another over a million Huaxia Coins!
But that wasn't all, Su Chen then looked at Zhang Feng, asking, "How much did you offer earlier?"
Zhang Feng was also stupefied, to be precise, baffled by Li Lin's quick transfer; when did Li Lin become so obedient, over a million and seven hundred Huaxia Coins, given away in a flash.
When Su Chen questioned him, he too felt a sense of grievance, "I was paying for the woman beside you earlier, not asking for you."
