"No matter what, we can't make Lin Chuan feel it's too easy to get what he wants." Tang Yumeng took a light sip of red wine and continued, "Men, when they get something too easily, often fail to cherish it. So, we should learn to keep them guessing."

"Miss, I particularly agree with you on this point." Silver Fox said with a smile.

"Hehe…" Tang Yumeng giggled lightly.

Unbeknownst to her, Tang Yumeng's mood suddenly cleared after the rain stops, and her spirits lifted significantly. A playful smile crept onto her lips, and her eyes also showed a touch of relief. Her gaze out the window held more openness and composure.

Silver Fox personally witnessed the change in Tang Yumeng's expression, which made her feel much more relaxed as well.

Under the influence of the red wine, Tang Yumeng soon fell asleep. She slept soundly and sweetly.

Silver Fox secretly contacted Silver Fox.

"Big sister, there seems to be some emotional problems between Lin Chuan and Tang Yumeng." Silver Fox hurriedly reported the situation between the two.

"Really?" Silver Fox was somewhat surprised.

However, she quickly came to terms with it. Love between a man and woman, how could it always be smooth sailing without dangers and challenges? Curiously, Silver Fox said, "Big sister, I think this is an opportunity. If you need, you can separate them at any time."

"No need." Silver Fox shook her head.

"Why, don't you really like Lin Chuan?" Silver Fox asked anxiously.

"Just because you like someone doesn't mean you have to possess them," Silver Fox said with a smile: "Besides, I like Lin Chuan, I love Lin Chuan. Hence, I need to let him be happy. I can help him pursue the woman he likes, I can even tie the woman he likes up and present her to him."

"Big sister, your… your love is too humble, isn't it?" Silver Fox frowned.

"In your eyes, my love may seem humble, but in my view, to love someone is to give your all." Silver Fox said firmly.

This was a legendary woman, a breathtakingly beautiful woman who was like a Silver Fox in the desert. She possessed not only extraordinary beauty but also superior skills. Her strength could be described as a thorny red rose in the desert. Her admirers were almost all over the world. There were special forces soldiers, special forces trainers, and even national leaders...

Yet, she did not accept any suitor's advances, only having eyes for Lin Chuan. All because Lin Chuan had once saved her life.

A life-saving grace, beyond repayment, only to be matched with oneself.

Perhaps, this was the greatest repayment she could offer. However, Lin Chuan was indifferent to her.

Silver Fox's love was something heavy for Lin Chuan. It wasn't that he didn't like Silver Fox, but because he felt she was too outstanding, not only skilled but also too strikingly beautiful, as if she didn't belong to this world. Her beauty was like a delicate rose, breathtakingly gorgeous. Such beauty put a heavy pressure on Lin Chuan. He knew that accepting Silver Fox meant he would have to confront countless rivals in duels.

It wasn't that Lin Chuan wasn't brave, but rather he disliked complications.

"Big sister, I find it unfair for you!" Silver Fox spoke up.

"Fair or not, only I can decide." Silver Fox said sternly.

"Yes!" Silver Fox quickly nodded.

............

Once the May Day holiday had passed, Tang Yumeng once again threw herself into work. Although Lin Chuan went to the resting room, he couldn't muster the courage to step into Tang Yumeng's office. Since that day, Lin Chuan hadn't contacted Tang Yumeng. After a few days of cold war, Lin Chuan was feeling uncomfortable.

Tang Yumeng's office.

Xiao Xue curiously asked, "Secretary Tang, have you been having a disagreement with Lin Chuan these days?"

"Why do you say that?" Tang Yumeng asked, looking up.

"I…I see that you're ignoring him, and he's ignoring you too." Xiao Xue blinked.

"Silly girl." Tang Yumeng chuckled, then said, "Does this mean we're having a disagreement?"

"Isn't this a disagreement?" Xiao Xue asked with a puzzled face: "Lin Chuan used to sneak over to see you, or you'd find an opportunity to see him. Now you both ignore each other."

"That's because there's a reason behind everything." Tang Yumeng smiled.

"Should I go call Lin Chuan up for you?" Xiao Xue asked.

"Go ahead!" Tang Yumeng nodded.

Xiao Xue giggled, then turned around and left the office. Watching Xiao Xue's back, Tang Yumeng's smile grew wider.

However, it wasn't long before Xiao Xue came running back. Confused, Tang Yumeng asked, "What happened?"

"Secretary Tang, Lin Chuan is not in the resting room." Xiao Xue pouted, saying, "This guy, he was just there a moment ago, and now he's disappeared again, I have to call him."

"Forget it." Tang Yumeng interjected: "Maybe he has his own matters to deal with; don't disturb him."

"Alright." Xiao Xue nodded reluctantly.

Transportation market.

A military green jeep without a license plate slowly pulled up.

"Brother Chuan." Everyone crowded around.

"You guys have worked hard." Lin Chuan smiled, swiftly handing out cigarettes to everyone.

The moment they received Lin Chuan's cigarettes, it was like they had found a treasure. To be able to get a cigarette given out by the big brother was an honor, a weighty one at that. They were all very excited and agitated. They wished they could save the cigarette to smoke later, so they could boast to the other boys: This is the big boss's cigarette.

"Brother Chuan, what brings you here?" Zhou Kai wore a safety helmet.

"I need a favor from you." Lin Chuan hooked Zhou Kai's arm and said, "Help me gather some people."

"A fight?" Zhou Kai asked excitedly.

"Yeah." Lin Chuan nodded.

"Who are we going up against?" Zhou Kai asked eagerly: "Damn, I just love to fight. I will call some guys over for you right now."

"We're going for Li Dong in the Western City District." Lin Chuan replied briefly.

"What?" Zhou Kai was stunned and said, "Brother Chuan, did I... did I hear you wrong?"

"You didn't." Lin Chuan shook his head.

"Isn't that bad?" Zhou Kai said awkwardly: "That punk Li Dong opened a Jingwu Sect, filled with martial artists, all his disciples. If it really comes down to a fight... won't we... be at a disadvantage?"

"When have we ever been at a disadvantage?" Lin Chuan asked.

"Right, last time that punk brought his guys over, and we sent them packing." Zhou Kai grinned.

"Are you in or out?" Lin Chuan glanced at Zhou Kai and said: "If you're not coming, I'll just have to go trash the place by myself."

"I'm in, I'm in." Zhou Kai hastily nodded and said: "I'm on it right now."

After speaking, Zhou Kai quickly called over a group of twenty or so people. These guys were the first batch trained by Zhao Zhonghai. Although Zhao Zhonghai no longer leads them, with this core team, Lin Chuan's power remains unshaken. Lin Chuan's decision to train them was a wise move.

Two Jinbei vans carrying twenty men quickly headed straight for the Western City District.

Jingwu Sect.

In the Western City District, it was well-known, having hundreds of disciples, and every year, Li Dong recruited a large number of apprentices. The tuition fees were quite high, after all, Li Dong had a reputation to maintain, drawing many enthusiasts to his school. Li Dong was after not just money, but also required his batch of disciples to work themselves to the bone for him.

In the Western City District, the Jingwu Sect controlled many industries, and these disciples had to do free labor for him every day, working part-time as bodyguards and keeping watch over the place. All sorts of events required the participation of these disciples. Of course, the few dozen members of Li Dong's core entourage received a handsome monthly salary. This motivated many disciples to vie for a place among these ranks, eager to give their all to Li Dong in hope of earning a fortune.

On the morning of May 4th, at ten o'clock, Li Dong was practicing basic drills with his people in the courtyard of Jingwu Sect.

Suddenly, a disciple rushed in from outside.

"Master, it's bad, really bad," the disciple shouted hurriedly.

"What's going on?" Li Dong quickly asked, "What happened?"

"Lin Chuan... Lin Chuan's here with a group to wreck the place," the disciple said with a panic-stricken look and tight expression.

"How many people?" As soon as Li Dong heard, he immediately asked.

"About... About twenty," the disciple replied hastily.

At this moment, Lin Chuan led Zhou Kai and the others inside. The two disciples who were on guard duty at the gate had already been badly beaten by Zhou Kai and his crew, with bruised noses and swollen faces, they fled into the yard with blood streaming down their noses. Lin Chuan had a cigarette in his mouth, while Zhou Kai followed behind with a safety helmet on, both hands holding an ax, his face bearing a cold smirk. Lu Dapao was carrying a machete. The other eighteen towering men, each armed with various weapons, crowded through the gate.

"Lin Chuan?" Li Dong was dressed in a set of loose Tang suit, made of white linen, and on his feet was a pair of old Beijing cloth shoes.

"Sect Leader Li," Lin Chuan greeted with a smile and a cupped-hand salute, "Long time no see. The memory of Sect Leader Li's last defeat and escape is still fresh, isn't it?"

"Ha ha..." Zhou Kai and the others laughed brazenly.

"You!" Li Dong, in rage, said, "What do you want, come to smash our place?"

"Correct," Lin Chuan nodded, "I've come to smash the place."

"Why?" Li Dong snorted coldly, "You should at least give a reason for smashing the place, shouldn't you?"

"The reason is simple, Guan Hu bullied my sister," Lin Chuan began, "That bastard, relying on your support, dares to act tyrannically in Jiangbei City. So I've decided to teach him a lesson. Since you're his biggest backer, I might as well remove this mountain that's backing him."

"You!" Li Dong was stunned and said, "Okay then, I really want to see what you're capable of."

After speaking, Li Dong got into position, ready to attack.

Lin Chuan said disdainfully, "Even though you're an ex-Shaolin disciple, your kung fu is really terrible. You never grasped the essence of Shaolin martial arts, yet you dare to run a martial arts school and mislead students!"

"You!" Li Dong, inflamed with anger, cursed, "Go to hell!"

Li Dong immediately launched a set of Changquan (Long Fist).
