Chapter 3258: Chapter 3250: Damocles Sword

Lin Yi’s gaze was fixed on the approaching A6.

He Shuchun parked the car, cigarette in hand, and got out naturally.

He looked just like an ordinary person.

Seeing that the time was right, Lin Yi unbuckled his seatbelt and walked towards He Shuchun.

"Yo, Brother Chun."

Hearing someone speak, He Shuchun looked up.

To his surprise, the person walking over was Lin Yi!

Instantly, a bad premonition stirred within him.

But he didn’t show it on his face, remaining very calm.

"Team Leader Lin is here too." He Shuchun walked over and said with a hearty laugh.

"Just completed a task, came over to have some fun and relax."

"Why are you alone, where are the others?"

"They’ll be here soon." Lin Yi said with a smile:

"Today is a special day, let’s have some fun together. I’ll arrange everything."

"No need, no need, you all celebrate as a group, I won’t crash the party." He Shuchun said with a smile:

"I’ve just been under a bit of pressure lately, I’ll have a drink and leave."

He Shuchun was well aware that from the moment he saw Lin Yi, today’s matters had come to an end.

"How can that be? You’re not an outsider; we must enjoy together."

Lin Yi put his arm around He Shuchun’s shoulder, and the latter tensed up, realizing he couldn’t break free.

"If you find it too noisy here, we can go somewhere quieter."

"Somewhere quieter?"

"I’ve found a new spot, nice environment, few people, perfect for a private gathering."

Vaguely, He Shuchun sensed that something was off.

His relationship with Lin Yi wasn’t particularly good, they were merely acquaintances.

Even if they bumped into each other, a simple greeting or offering to pay the bill should suffice.

No need for all this.

"Let’s not bother, just a drink here will do."

"Why? Brother Chun, don’t you want to go?" Lin Yi looked at him and said:

"Or did you arrange to meet someone here? Is that why you don’t want to leave?"

"Huh?"

He Shuchun’s expression changed, "Who could I possibly meet? Just here by myself, having a drink to relax."

"Since you didn’t arrange to meet anyone else, come with us."

Lin Yi held onto He Shuchun, not giving him a chance to resist, and they both sat in the back seat.

At this moment, Zhang Chaoyue, who had been waiting nearby, got into the car and sat in the driver’s seat.

Once in the car, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent, a shock of realization hitting He Shuchun’s heart.

"Team Leader Lin, where are we going?"

"Taihe Restaurant." Lin Yi replied calmly.

He was dumbfounded!

He Shuchun sat dazed in the back seat.

Big brother is dining at Taihe Restaurant today!

"That’s not really a place for drinking, is it?"

"Whether or not we drink is irrelevant, more people make it lively."

In an instant, He Shuchun deflated.

It seemed all his spirit vanished at that moment.

He knew he was finished.

Forty minutes later, Zhang Chaoyue drove them to Taihe Restaurant.

As one of the few century-old establishments in Jing City, the reputation of Taihe Restaurant was widely known.

Every day, it hosted nearly all business elites.

Even Shen Shuyi was a regular here.

When the car stopped, the entire group, except for Xiao Bing and Zhao Yunhu, was already gathered.

Seeing this lineup, He Shuchun looked as if he had lost his soul.

He knew with his own ability, handling this matter was impossible.

Only if his family intervened, there might be a slight chance.

For a moment, He Shuchun felt Lin Yi was the Damocles Sword hanging over everyone’s heads.

Anyone with rebellious thoughts would be mercilessly destroyed!

Arriving at the place, Lin Yi straightened his clothes and got out of the car.

"Boss, we found something." Yu Siying said.

"Did he find out?"

"No, but we saw Sister-in-law Four."

"Huh? Sister-in-law Four?" Lin Yi said, "Which Sister-in-law Four?"

"The one running the media company."

"So she’s Old Si."

Lin Yi muttered to himself, saying nothing more.

Yan Ci’s presence was unexpected, yet also made sense.

Although their focuses were different, they were in the same industry.

Considering He Shudong’s influence in the industry, her coming here to meet and have a meal was quite normal.

"You all wait here, I’ll go up alone."

Due to the delicate situation, Lin Yi didn’t want to create a scene.

After all, there were others at the dinner, and he didn’t want them to know about this.

"Understood."

Surveying the area, Lin Yi walked towards room 302 of Taihe Restaurant.

Meanwhile, in the private room, a dozen people were toasting and chatting.

Those present were mostly bigwigs in the entertainment industry.

Even though Yan Ci’s company held some influence in Zhong Hai, it was limited to that area, supported by Lin Yi’s influence.

On a national scale, it could only be considered mid-level.

Among these people, Yan Ci wasn’t exactly a VIP.

Only those vaguely aware of her status treated her politely during the meal.

"President Yan, I’ve seen your film, it’s impressive." He Shudong said:

"With my years of experience, I feel this movie could easily earn over a billion."

"With your words, President He, I feel reassured."

Yan Ci smiled and raised her glass, "President He, let me toast to you."

He Shudong didn’t move, not even reaching for the glass.

"But this movie has a few flaws. If not corrected, it may have trouble being released."

Hearing this, Yan Ci’s expression changed.

The film’s release was entirely dependent on his decision.

His remark was a clear reminder to her.

"President He, you’re an expert in this field, certainly more experienced than I am. If there’s anything off, please guide us."

"We’re all on the same side, I wouldn’t withhold advice. But let’s focus on this gathering as a social occasion, let’s avoid business talk."

He Shudong’s meaning was clear, he didn’t want to discuss business today. If Yan Ci was sincere, she’d have to seek a private conversation.

The outcome of such a chat depended on her actions.

Yet, she didn’t display any unusual emotions.

"Alright, alright, no business talk today."

Yan Ci raised her glass again, and this time, He Shudong also picked up his glass.

Their glasses clinked, Yan Ci downed her drink, but He Shudong only took a sip.

The others in the room wore faintly amused smiles.

Seemingly taking some pleasure in her predicament.

They all knew Yan Ci had some influence in Zhong Hai.

But this was Jing City; if she wanted to develop her business here, she had to play by the rules.

"President He, everyone, I need to excuse myself for a moment to the restroom."

After making her excuse, Yan Ci stood up and left the table.

But as soon as she stepped out of the private room, she froze in her tracks.

Because she saw Lin Yi!
