C53 His Friends Were Blocked and He Drove Back
Lin Dong drove off, glancing in the rearview mirror where he could still see the silhouette of the girl who had seen him off standing by the roadside. A smile crept onto his face. The saying about the joy of helping others certainly rang true; helping others brought him happiness as well.
The girl, petite in stature, was actually quite pretty. Her short height gave her an endearing, loli-like charm. However, her beauty was overshadowed by her tears, shed over the heartbreak caused by the scoundrel Lee Mingshan. Lin Dong had taken her number as a gesture of respect, though he had no intention of using it.
For Zhou Pinru, the girl in question, Lin Dong's assistance was an immense act of kindness, but for him, it was no more than a simple gesture. It suddenly occurred to Lin Dong that she had mentioned working at Lin's Group. Coincidentally, among the rewards he had received at the start was a 30 billion inheritance right to Lin's Group!
Zhou Pinru seemed to have a good character. Once he took control of Lin's Group, Lin Dong planned to give her a well-deserved promotion, confident that she might excel in ways yet unimagined.
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Dong pressed the accelerator harder, and the Pagani Huayran roared to life, surging forward with the force of a cannonball.
Zhou Pinru lived on the outskirts of the city, where rents were more affordable. She had been handing over her salary previously, which made the low rent in this area an attractive option for her. To get back, Lin Dong had to navigate the ring roads and then take the route towards Jiangyang University. From above, his car would appear as a dazzling streak of light, racing along the highway—a sight of sheer beauty.
The thrill of acceleration gave Lin Dong an intense adrenaline rush, clearing his mind and leaving him exhilarated.
Just then, his phone chimed with a WeChat notification. Lin Dong eased off the gas and glanced at the screen to see a message from Ma Chenchen.
"Lin Dong! Hurry, Wang Chengxin is gathering people to attack Liu Wenming!"
Lin Dong's surprise was palpable. There had been bad blood between Wang Chengxin and Liu Wenming. The conflict had started over a meal in the cafeteria when Wang Chengxin's lackeys had snatched Liu Wenming's roast chicken, sparking anger and a clash between the two.
The mixer was likely winding down at this point.
Wang Chengxin was undoubtedly plotting his revenge for the incident!
The thought made Lin Dong's gaze harden.
Wang Chengxin truly needed to be put in his place.
He had been lenient with him before, and yet he was still stirring up trouble!
Lin Dong temporarily pulled over to the side of the road, took out his phone, and texted Ma Chenchen: "Hold down the fort; I'm on my way."
Ma Chenchen promptly responded with an "Okay."
Lin Dong maneuvered the steering wheel and headed straight for the location Ma Chenchen had sent.
Meanwhile, at the Hongmei Disco.
As Lin Dong had suspected, the mixer had already concluded.
Ma Chenchen had followed Lin Dong's instructions, introducing Liu Wenming, Tian Chao, and Zhou Hengyu to a few girls.
However, the girls weren't particularly interested in the trio; they simply became acquainted.
Armed with the new phones Lin Dong had provided, Liu Wenming and the others managed to pique the girls' curiosity with their bravado.
They were just about to progress to exchanging WeChat contacts when Wang Chengxin showed up.
He instantly recognized Liu Wenming, the key figure in the altercation with his henchman that had led to Lin Dong's embarrassing him!
Since he couldn't confront Lin Dong directly, why not target Lin Dong's friends?
Wang Chengxin called out, rallying Yan Zhuang, who had bounced back, and a group of familiar boys to encircle Liu Wenming and his companions. Tensions were rising, and a clash seemed imminent.
After Lin Dong had left the mixer, Tian Meihui decided to have a bit of fun before departing.
Ma Chenchen, unable to cope alone, reached out to Lin Dong for assistance, urging him to hurry over.
At that moment, Liu Wenming, Tian Chao, and Zhou Hengyu found themselves encircled by a hostile crowd of boys, each wielding a stool or a bottle, with a brawl ready to erupt at any second.
