C2 Who Is Afraid of Who

Lin Xuan overheard Pei Qiuyu mention as she was leaving that negotiations with D Group were proving difficult, and he decided he wanted to lend her a hand.

D Group had made quite a name for itself in A City.

Its chairman, Wan Changhui, was a well-known entrepreneur in A City, with the group's assets totaling over a billion.

But the Sky Dragon Palace was a colossal organization, with a presence in real estate, finance, entertainment, dining, and more.

Given Sky Dragon Palace's global influence, even the heads of the world's top five financial conglomerates would stand at attention and respectfully address Lin Xuan as "Dad."

In comparison, D Group was barely a blip on the radar next to even the smallest of Sky Dragon Palace's subsidiaries.

But for Lin Xuan, as long as his wife was happy, that was all that mattered.

His current mission was to ensure Pei Qiuyu was the happiest woman alive.

Whatever his wife desired, Lin Xuan would provide without condition, especially now that he truly had the means to do so.

Meanwhile, in the manager's office of D Group.

Wan Jinbao, decked out in a suit and a flashy gold chain, ogled Pei Qiuyu with a lascivious gaze.

To him, Pei Qiuyu was the epitome of a natural beauty.

Her voluptuous figure, stunning looks, and an air of noble efficiency made her the picture of perfection.

But why would such a ravishing beauty settle for marrying a fool and a loser?

Wan Jinbao smirked salaciously, "Miss Pei, you're aware of my fondness for you. Stick with me, and I'll give you anything you desire."

Pei Qiuyu's expression turned uneasy, "CEO Wan, I am married."

"What kind of husband is he? Nothing but a worthless fool."

As he spoke, Wan Jinbao inched closer to Pei Qiuyu.

Pei Qiuyu recoiled in disgust, moving away swiftly.

Wan Jinbao seized the opportunity to grab her hand.

Startled, Pei Qiuyu quickly withdrew her hand.

"Director Wan, I demand respect!"

Wan Jinbao simply squinted, smiling slyly, his eyes brimming with malevolence as he fixed his gaze on Pei Qiuyu.

"So, Pei Qiuyu, are you saying you don't want my assistance?"

Pei Qiuyu steadied herself and said, "Mr. Wan, I need this deal to pay for my husband's medical treatment."

"Enough about your husband!"

"What makes him think he can compare to me? I have everything I desire!"

Wan Jinbao's words carried a threat. "I'm aware your company is on the brink of collapse. Just do as Brother Wan says, make me happy, and I'll give you anything you want."

"Otherwise, you won't just be trapped here; I'll deal with your whole family, including your worthless husband!"

"You..." Pei Qiuyu retorted furiously, "I forbid you from harming my family!"

"Hmm."

Wan Jinbao sneered menacingly, "If you don't want trouble, then just do as you're told."

He then wrapped his arms around Pei Qiuyu.

"Ah, get off me!"

In a panic, Pei Qiuyu slapped Wan Jinbao across the face, "Mr. Wan, show some decency!"

Wan Jinbao clutched his cheek, momentarily taken aback, but his shock quickly turned to rage.

"Pei Qiuyu, you must be sick of living, daring to strike me? Today, you'll learn your lesson..."

In a fit of anger, Wan Jinbao pushed Pei Qiuyu onto the couch and began ripping at her black stockings.

"Release me... Somebody help!!"

Just then, the office door was violently kicked open.

Wan Jinbao jumped in surprise, and Pei Qiuyu seized the chance to shove him away.

"Lin Xuan?"

But upon recognizing the newcomer, Pei Qiuyu's shock was evident.

The previously flustered Wan Jinbao, upon hearing the name "Lin Xuan," immediately sneered with contempt.

"So, this is your pathetic husband, Lin Xuan?"

Ignoring any caution, Wan Jinbao reached for Pei Qiuyu once more.

At that moment, Lin Xuan charged forward, grabbed Wan Jinbao by the hair as if he were a mere chick, and landed a solid punch on his face.

One punch was all it took to shatter his eye socket and crush his nose.

Wan Jinbao's screams summoned the company's security.

These so-called guards were nothing more than thugs on Wan Jinbao's payroll, each marked with tattoos and bearing a menacing look.

"Mr. Wan!"

Wan Jinbao clutched his nose and yelled, "Get in there and take him down, beat him to a pulp!"

The head of security charged at Lin Xuan with a punch, but Lin Xuan caught his wrist and twisted it behind his back.

With a sickening "crack," the security captain's arm broke instantly, his scream piercing the air.

The onlookers were stunned.

After a brief pause, someone shouted, "Let's get him together!"

A group of six or seven security guards swarmed Lin Xuan, determined to make him pay for his actions.

Lin Xuan chuckled, "I haven't stretched my muscles in three years. Today, you'll serve as my warm-up."

To the security guards, Lin Xuan was like a tiger among sheep, completely outclassing them.

Lin Xuan toyed with them effortlessly, knocking one out with a punch and sending another flying with a kick.

Soon, the ground was littered with guards, all moaning in agony.

Pei Qiuyu stood aghast, her hand over her mouth, unable to fathom the scene before her.

Since when could Lin Xuan fight like this?!!

Little did Pei Qiuyu know, Lin Xuan's meridian injuries had only just healed, and his inner strength was not yet fully restored.

At his full potential, Lin Xuan could send these men packing with a mere flick of his wrist.

Wan Jinbao watched the unfolding chaos, his heart pounding with shock and rage as he bellowed, "How did I end up with such useless trash?!"

Lin Xuan's gaze turned to him.

In that moment, Wan Jinbao felt like prey under the gaze of a predator, his body shaking uncontrollably.

Fighting back his fear, Wan Jinbao blustered, "You... You! One phone call, and I'll have a hundred men here to mince you into nothing!"

Lin Xuan's smile was faint, "By all means, invite them over."

Wan Jinbao whipped out his phone, seething, "Fine, you'll soon learn exactly how you're going to meet your end!"

Shortly after Wan Jinbao's call, a convoy of cars raced towards the company.

Leading the pack was a Rolls-Royce Phantom, with a fleet of black G-class Mercedes-Benzes in tow.

They aligned themselves automatically into a neat row, stopping precisely at the entrance of D Group.

Pei Qiuyu's heart raced at the sight of the cars outside.

"Lin Xuan, you need to run!"

Lin Xuan gazed at Pei Qiuyu with adoration. "Honey, there's nothing to fear."

His tender look instantly touched Pei Qiuyu's heart.

That look! It felt so familiar, as if she'd seen it long ago, yet now she couldn't be certain.

Just then, Wan Jinbao boasted smugly, "Lin Xuan, today is the end for you!"

"I'll do more than break your arms and legs. I'll make you watch as I toy with your wife beneath me!"

Lin Xuan let out a cold laugh and retorted, "Keep in mind what you've said. Soon, you'll be the one with regrets."
