Lately, it's become known that Lin Chuan was expelled from the military. The queen became instantly interested. She believed that this time Lin Chuan would agree no matter what. However, she had lost track of Lin Chuan. With such a vast China, where could she possibly start looking for this one person?

.........

After leaving the Sheraton Hotel, Zhou Rui hurriedly took a cab to Changlin Factory.

Even though she didn't live here, she was born and raised in this neighborhood and knew it very well. The taxi dropped her off right at Lin Chuan's doorstep. Zhou Rui knocked on the door with urgency while calling out, "Lin Chuan, open up. Open the door for me…"

However, the one who opened the door wasn't Lin Chuan, but Mrs. Lin.

"Girl, who... who are you?" Mrs. Lin asked, peering curiously at Zhou Rui through the dim light.

"Ah..." Zhou Rui startled, then awkwardly said, "Aunt Lin, it's me, Zhou Rui. Is Lin Chuan here?"

"Oh, it's you?" Mrs. Lin exclaimed, then hurriedly invited, "Come in, come in and sit."

"No thanks, I... I'm here to find Lin Chuan." Zhou Rui's face turned red with urgency, afraid of being misunderstood by Aunt Lin. She hadn't expected Lin Chuan to be not at home.

"Chuanzi isn't home," Mrs. Lin, examining Zhou Rui with curiosity, suggested, "How about... I call him now?"

"No need." Zhou Rui hurriedly shook her head, saying, "I think I'll find him myself."

"This child, he must be at our old factory." Mrs. Lin quickly reminded, "If he's not there, then I don't know where else he would be."

"Okay, I'll go check there." Zhou Rui hurriedly left with her evening gown.

Looking at the beautiful Zhou Rui, Mrs. Lin began to speculate wildly. Since when did her silly boy Lin Chuan start to attract such fortune? Even a beautiful girl like Zhou Rui was coming to their door? It seems her son was becoming more and more popular, attracting increasingly prettier girls. Last time it was a beautiful policewoman named Song, and this time it's Zhou Rui. Mrs. Lin cheerfully closed the door after Zhou Rui left.

Factory.

Zhou Kai and the others got a bunch of skewers from Zhao Zhonghai and several bottles of liquor. Everyone just sat in the factory enjoying their feast. With the transport market quiet, the transportation company had paused operations, and with the New Year approaching, everyone was idling away their days by either playing cards or drinking. Now that these lads could make money, their families naturally cared less about them, as long as they sent money home promptly, there usually weren't any big issues.

"Lin Chuan, you come out right now," Zhou Rui hurried towards the factory.

"Who's that? Making such a racket," Zhou Kai responded irritably.

At that moment, a girl in a white dress entered, sweeping her skirt along as she walked in. Everyone looked up only to be taken aback by her beauty, appearing so pure and angelic even under the dim lights, almost breathtakingly beautiful.

Suddenly, the factory fell silent.

"Are you all mute?" Zhou Rui snapped, "Where is Lin Chuan?"

"Eh…" Zhou Kai was the first to recover, awkwardly smiling he asked, "Miss, who are you? What do you need from Brother Chuanzi?"

"Of course, it's urgent." Zhou Rui huffed, "Let him come out quickly."

"Oh dear, miss, I'm really sorry, but Brother Chuanzi isn't here," Zhou Kai smiled, "Maybe you could sit with us and have a couple of drinks. Perhaps Brother Chuanzi will be back by then."

"Hmph, I'd rather not," Zhou Rui snorted and turned to leave.

"Miss, what's your name?" Zhou Kai hurriedly stopped Zhou Rui, saying, "I'll let Brother Chuanzi know later."

"Fine, tell Lin Chuan that Zhou Rui was looking for him," Zhou Rui replied.

"Little chili pepper?!" Zhou Kai was taken aback.

Zhou Rui paused, looking back at Zhou Kai, "Who are you? How do you know my nickname?"

"Haha, I'm Zhou Kai, we're all from Changlin Factory," Zhou Kai grinned, adding, "You always used to bully me, don't you remember? And also Lu Dapao, Huang Bo…"

"It's you guys?" Excitement flickered in Zhou Rui's eyes, but she quickly composed herself, "Alright, got it. Let Lin Chuan know later."

With that, Zhou Rui turned and walked away.

Everyone watched Zhou Rui's departing figure, each of them couldn't help but exclaim: "Alas, a girl changes so much when she grows up. Zhou Rui wasn't this beautiful before."

"She was poor before, and didn't have so many beautiful clothes like now," Lu Dapao laughed: "And also makeup products. Before, she couldn't even dream of these things. Now, she has everything, even an ugly girl can become a goddess. Yes, there is nothing surprising."

"However, Zhou Rui has indeed become a lot more beautiful, Lin Chuan is in luck this time," Zhou Kai grinned and said.

"With that fiery temper?" Lu Dapao disdainfully said: "Lin Chuan doesn't even know if he can handle her."

A bunch of people were discussing noisily.

.........

After Lin Chuan left the Sheraton Hotel, he wandered alone along Huai Mountain South Road. He seemed to have anticipated such an outcome already for this class reunion. A class reunion without one or two braggards and a bunch of social climbers is really not lively enough. However, in this reunion, he was the eternal loser, the loser despised by the goddess.

If it wasn't because Liu Shaoqi repeatedly and incessantly humiliated him, he probably wouldn't have taken out the ice diamond card. Remembering this ice diamond card, Lin Chuan couldn't help but recall the time in Germany when the Queen of the United Kingdom was attacked by a terrorist organization. If not for his desperate rescue, the Queen might have been usurped by now.

At that time, the Queen was traveling with over a dozen bodyguards on a private trip, so the German authorities didn't provide any security forces, which presented an opportunity for the terrorists. That time, a certain organization had planned for a long time and secretly arranged more than ten terrorists. Moreover, these people were prepared for a no-return mission, and most importantly, their weapons were far superior to those of the Queen's bodyguards, who couldn't put up any resistance.

Thus, upon confrontation, half of the Queen's bodyguards were immediately downed. Lin Chuan, who was on a mission in Germany at that time, happened to witness this scene. He didn't hesitate to jump into action. This rescue was extremely dangerous as he was unprepared, and Lin Chuan nearly lost his life. Despite being shot twice and miraculously surviving, Lin Chuan used his incredibly agile skills to kill all the attackers. As a result, he was commended by the Queen of the United Kingdom and also received the best medical treatment at the British royal family.

Afterwards, Lin Chuan was knighted by the Queen and received an additional reward, which was the ice diamond card that he now held. The royal family only had ten ice diamond cards in total. Prince William and his wife had two, Prince William's father had one, and the Queen held one…

Thinking of these, Lin Chuan felt as if it all happened yesterday. He clenched the ice diamond card in his hand and couldn't help but bitter smile arise. Being discharged from the army, for a soldier, for a soldier who has fought long battles, it is a humiliation, a disgrace. A soldier would rather die on the battlefield than live in dishonor.

"Help!" At that moment, a voice shattered the dark night.

Lin Chuan quickly put away the ice diamond card, his keen ears quickly pinpointed the source of the voice, and without saying a word, he dashed towards it.

In the dark alley, a few ragtag kids were surrounding a familiar face. That person was Fang Yuan. Fang Yuan was dressed seductively and revealingly. Walking on such a night road, it was no wonder she drew attention. Seeing Lin Chuan appear, she urgently shouted: "Lin Chuan, save me, save me."

A few ragtag kids turned their heads to see Lin Chuan and seeing someone daring to interfere, they turned around.

"Kid, get lost," the leader with a strand of purple hair and an unflattering haircut was messing with a switchblade in his hand, he sneered coldly: "Otherwise, don't blame my knife for craving flesh and blood."

Lin Chuan smiled slightly, saying, "A few grown men bullying a girl, what does that make you?"

"Tsk, tsk, are you trying to play the hero?" the purple-haired man laughed coldly.

"I just can't stand by." Lin Chuan shrugged, adding, "Besides, Fang Yuan is my friend, I can't just ignore that, can I?"

"Fuck." The purple-haired man angrily said: "Who the **** do you think you are? Guys, teach this asshole a lesson."

"Hehe." A group of four or five men circled in.

Fang Yuan stood behind with her arms crossed over her chest, a smirk of confidence playing on her lips. At this moment, the previously frightened expression on Fang Yuan had vanished, leaving one questioning whether it was all an act, or because Lin Chuan had appeared she was no longer afraid.

The group of four or five men slowly encircled Lin Chuan, some holding iron rods, some with machetes, and one pinching a switchblade.

Lin Chuan wasn't scared at all, only worried that his limited edition Armani suit might get dirtied by these scoundrels.

"Attack!" The leader with the purple hair gestured.

Rustling…

The men behind charged forward quickly. Lin Chuan stepped back two steps then suddenly stomped on a pile of discarded bricks beside him and leaped into the air.

Bang, bang...

Upon leaping, Lin Chuan used his sharp legs to fiercely kick down the two men who charged first. With two kicks, he taught them a painful lesson right there. After landing, Lin Chuan's fists sent two more men flying. Four men fell to the ground, the remaining one in a puffy jacket was dumbfounded as he stared at Lin Chuan.

In less than a minute, Lin Chuan easily handled his four companions. Left alone, he stepped back in fear.
