"Heh heh, wanna know?" The man in black revealed a malicious smile, saying, "It doesn't matter if I tell you, since you're a dead man anyway."

"Speak." Lin Chuan's tone was icy cold.

"Wa State General." The man in black sneered: "You've offended the General, turned the Golden Triangle upside down with chaos, so, you're undoubtedly doomed."

"Come on." Lin Chuan rolled up his sleeves and said, "Today, I am actually quite interested to see who will be the dead man."

At this moment, the fight had already broken out between them.

Lin Chuan was quick, and the opponent wasn't slow either. By now, the man in the sunglasses who had been repelled by Lin Chuan had regained his senses. Clutching his chest, he clambered up from the ground. Trying to find his handgun from within the greenery would probably be difficult, so with a grit of his teeth, he simply lunged forward with his dagger as well.

One against two.

Lin Chuan was not afraid, on the contrary, he was extremely excited.

It had been too long since he last had such an exhilarating fight. Faced with the sharp assaults of the two men, Lin Chuan dodged left and right. It wasn't that he couldn't beat them, but because Lin Chuan liked to look for weaknesses in the opponent's attacks before striking lethally.

This was Lin Chuan's strength; not only could he conserve energy, but he also prevented the opponent from discovering his own weaknesses.

In a battle between masters, victory or defeat often comes from one move.

Two minutes later, Lin Chuan was still unscathed, while the opponents seemed to be showing fatigue under the relentless attacks.

"Damn it." The man gritted his teeth.

At this moment, Lin Chuan steadied his stance, his expression easy-going and composure intact. With a smile on his face, he said, "Gentlemen, we've had quite a delightful bout. Isn't it my turn now?"

"You!" The man in black was shocked, saying, "Have you been holding back your strength all this time?"

"Heh heh, you only realize now?" Lin Chuan grinned and smiled.

The man in black and the man in the sunglasses exchanged glances, both seemingly reading expressions of utter shock on each other's faces. The man in black swallowed a gulp of spit, clenching his teeth, he said, "Kid, I didn't expect you to have some skills.

"Enough talk, it's my turn to make a move." Lin Chuan narrowed his eyes.

"Come at me." The man in the sunglasses roared.

Whoosh...

Lin Chuan's right foot stomped on the ground, and he instantly charged forward. The thick sole of his leather shoe left a black mark on the cement ground.

The two men had already assumed defensive postures. However, they quickly despaired as Lin Chuan had suddenly vanished. A living person disappearing right before their eyes? That was too unbelievable.

Bang...

Suddenly, a flash of light crossed, and the man in sunglasses felt a heavy strike on the back of his knee. His legs instantly gave in, and the force was so great that the moment his knees hit the ground, a crack formed in the cement.

Crack, crack...

His kneecap had fractured on the spot.

"Ahh!" The man let out a loud scream.

However, his outcry was swiftly cut short. A tremendous force struck the back of his head.

Thump...

The man in the sunglasses instantly collapsed forward, his forehead hitting the cement ground, and his sunglasses instantly cracked, the sharp glass fragments piercing his eyes. The man immediately lost consciousness. The pain from the cracked kneecap, the impact on the forehead, and the sharp pain from the glass were all unbearable.

"Second Brother!" The man in black hurried over and helped the other man up. Seeing his brother already unconscious with blood trickling from his nose, he became enraged: "Bastard, I'm going to kill you!"

"You don't have the chance." Lin Chuan looked at him disdainfully.

"Go to hell!" The man in black, like an angry leopard, charged forward.

Lin Chuan was crouching down, a dagger in his hand, ready to meet his opponent's attack. As the man was about to charge at him, Lin Chuan curled his lips into a sinister smile, waiting for just this moment.

Just as the opponent was about to rush at him, Lin Chuan suddenly made a dazzling turn. He kicked up, his heel fiercely striking the opponent's cheek.

Bang...

That kick nearly mashed his nose, eyes, and mouth into one.

The man cried out in agony, staggering several steps backward.

Although he had stopped his attack, Lin Chuan had no intention of letting his opponent off. He suddenly accelerated, his dagger slicing toward the man's neck. The man clearly noticed Lin Chuan's attack, but his dodge was caught off guard.

Slash...

The knife instantly made a mark on his chest, and blood soaked through his clothes.

Lin Chuan wore a smile, saying, "Heh, looks like you guys just aren't up to scratch."

The man's face changed unpredictably; despite the darkness of the night, Lin Chuan could clearly see the man's expression. The man was already thinking of retreating, but unfortunately, he had no way out. He couldn't possibly abandon his brothers and run. Even if he managed to escape, he would have to face punishment when he returned. What was the point of that?

As he hesitated, the man with sunglasses struggled up from the ground.

Muttering under his breath, he tried to open his eyes, barely making out the situation. He hurriedly shouted, "Big brother!"

"Little brother, you're awake?" the man in black rushed over.

"How's it going?" The man with sunglasses quickly removed the broken sunglasses on his nose and threw them aside. Luckily his eyes weren't damaged, only his nose was hurt. The glass had pierced the flesh of his nose, but blood flowed down his face.

"No good, we've got to pull out," said the man in black awkwardly.

"Hmm," the man with sunglasses seemed to also realize that the mission wasn't going to be easy.

The man in black whispered a few words into his ear, and the man with sunglasses nodded hastily.

Then, the man in black, holding the military spike again, said, "Kid, I can't leave without killing you today."

After speaking, he rushed swiftly towards Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan looked at him with disdain. Just as the man in black charged towards him, the man with sunglasses secretly climbed into the Honda van and started the car. He drove the car, furiously stepping on the gas and rushing towards Lin Chuan.

The man in black quickly dodged.

Seeing this, Lin Chuan also quickly jumped aside. How could a person compete with a car?

Just as Lin Chuan steadied himself, the man in black astonishingly jumped onto the moving vehicle. Without any pause, the car sped directly towards the southern entrance of Huai Mountain Road.

Lin Chuan watched the car drive off into the distance, cursing angrily, "Damn it, runs away when they can't win, what kind of hero is that."

Lin Chuan took the threat from the Golden Triangle to heart. It was most definitely a threat, a scourge. If this menace wasn't dealt with, it would eventually harm his family. Lin Chuan was a very far-sighted person; the threat from the Golden Triangle would become a serious menace sooner or later.

Although Lin Chuan could have intercepted the two assassins, he didn't do so. Because to him, killing these two guys wouldn't resolve the threat from the Golden Triangle. Lin Chuan pondered internally how to deal with this menace.

The power of one man is naturally trivial, but Lin Chuan's strength alone is infinite. No one could stop him.

However, the threat from the Golden Triangle was a long-term issue. Yet, Lin Chuan had an immediate and troublesome concern—his relationship with Tang Yumeng. Ever since the last negotiation, the two of them seemed to be stuck in a cold war.

Perhaps Zhou Rui was right. He and Tang Yumeng were quite different, mismatched in status, and with different educations. Tang Yumeng's thoughts greatly diverged from his own.

This was evident in the controversy over the redevelopment of Changlin Factory. She advocated for demolition, safeguarding government interests, and improving the urban image of Jiangbei City. The existence of Changlin Factory was an eyesore to the economic heart of the eastern district of the city. It was like a patch of cotton on a silk dress.

But Lin Chuan thought differently; he advocated preservation. He defended the interests of the Changlin Factory workers, standing at a starting point completely opposite to that of Tang Yumeng, and the interests they defended were also distinct. Thus, conflict between them was inevitable.

Lin Chuan really wanted to reconcile with Tang Yumeng, but over such issues of principle, he felt he couldn't compromise or surrender. So the cold war continued between them. Lin Chuan didn't reach out to Tang Yumeng, and she didn't reach out to him either.

...

In Tang Yumeng's office.

"This bastard, he's actually ignoring me." Tang Yumeng counted on her fingers; it had been a week since they last spoke, which annoyed her: "So petty, sulking with me, it's infuriating."

"Shall I go call Lin Chuan up for you?" Xiao Xue said with a smile.

"No," Tang Yumeng shook her head, "I want to see when this closed-mouth guy will actually speak to me."

Tang Yumeng was determined to continue the cold war.

"Secretary Tang, I think it's useless," Xiao Xue said helplessly, "You know Lin Chuan is a silent type. If he's silent, how can you expect him to speak?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Yumeng felt there was some truth to it, muttering softly, "We can't go on like this in a cold war."

Her voice was so low Xiao Xue didn't catch it.

Tang Yumeng sighed helplessly. As the city secretary, viewed with high regard, her dating a common man was a secret that had to be kept; she couldn't let others know. Otherwise, it would greatly impact her image. To make things worse, her love interest was subordinate to her, making the situation more absurd.
