The other two brawny men were immediately stunned. The power of Lin Chuan's kick was so immense it was horrifying. From their perspective, that kick could have killed a bull. Seeing the murderous look in Lin Chuan's eyes, they couldn't help but stand up, and no one dared to continue holding Luo Guoqing.

With no one restraining him, Luo Guoqing immediately scrambled up from the ground.

His face was flushed, and there were several swollen marks on his face, neck, and forehead, indicating he had indeed been through a tough fight. There were also a few chairs scattered on the ground. After standing up, Luo Guoqing glanced at Lin Chuan and said, "Brother, thanks."

"Since we're brothers, why even mention thanks?" Lin Chuan smiled and said, "I fucking hate these two-faced, backstabbing bastards. They're even worse than Song Wen and Song Wu."

"Exactly." Luo Guoqing nodded and said, "When you were here, they still showed me some respect. The moment you left, they immediately flocked to these two brothers, continuing to be their lackeys. In fact, these guys are even worse than them, more disgusting."

These guys indeed were not as good as the Song family brothers. At least the latter had some backbone, always opposed Lin Chuan but never fawned over him or kissed his ass. But these fellows were different; they not only kissed the Song family brothers' asses, but they also groveled at Lin Chuan. Most importantly, they were two-faced: if you were powerful, they'd grovel like dogs, nodding and bowing, but once you showed weakness, they'd ruthlessly suppress and harm you, even more viciously than their masters.

The Song family brothers watched Lin Chuan coldly and said, "Lin Chuan, you're too arrogant."

"Indeed, I am arrogant, so what?" Lin Chuan disdainfully glanced at the Song family brothers and said, "Listen well, starting today. I, Lin Chuan, am back. You Song family brothers have no say here anymore."

"What do you mean?" The Song family brothers suddenly didn't understand. They thought Lin Chuan was just back for a visit.

"Hasn't anyone told you? Getting fired was just a temporary thing for me." Lin Chuan scoffed and said, "Starting today, I'm back to work. Still as Secretary Tang's driver. What? Got a problem hearing? Or is it your brain that doesn't understand?"

"You!" Song Wen was immediately dumbfounded: "Impossible!"

"Don't believe it?" Lin Chuan smiled and said, "You can go ask Minister Chen if you don't believe it."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Minister Chen walked in, belly sticking out.

"Cough cough, let me say a few words." Minister Chen said solemnly, "Comrades, Lin Chuan's return this time was at Secretary Tang's command. However, in consideration of Lin Chuan's contributions to the City Committee, he will temporarily stay for observation, during which he will be under contract employment. Alright, try to get along well."

Having said that, Minister Chen walked away with his hands clasped behind his back, leaving behind a room full of people.

"Wow…" someone exclaimed in astonishment.

They couldn't help but be amazed. A person previously fired by the City Committee was actually able to return to his job. Such capability, indeed, wasn't something ordinary people could match. But then, who could criticize when Lin Chuan was Tang Yumeng's lover? Tang Yumeng is the City Secretary of Jiangbei City, a top figure with immense power.

"Unexpectedly, Lin Chuan can actually come back, it's truly surprising."

"Yes, but it's also understandable, after all, his girlfriend is the city secretary."

"Tsk tsk, to have a girlfriend like Tang Yumeng, truly a blessing acquired over several lifetimes."

A group of people whispered among themselves, but Lin Chuan's ears were sharp, and he heard every word.

At that moment, Song Wen suddenly burst into helpless laughter: "I thought it was something big. It turns out to be just a temp. Haha…"

Haha…

Suddenly, the room burst into boisterous laughter.

Lin Chuan scoffed: "What about being a temp? You're not even comparable to a temp."

"Lin Chuan, you're just a temp, what right do you have to talk to me?" Song Wen glared at Lin Chuan and said, "I'm telling you, you could be kicked out at any moment as a temp."

"Let's see you try." Lin Chuan gave Song Wen a look and said, "Unless I want to leave, even the goddamn King of Heaven has no say in it. Let alone you, and you think Song Ming has the authority to make me leave? Dream on!"

"You!" Song Wen was furiously dumbfounded.

Arrogant! Domineering!

Lin Chuan's formidable demeanor indeed left the Song family brothers feeling utterly deflated. Their faces shifted between shades of anger. They hadn't expected that after waiting so long for Lin Chuan to leave, just when the Song family brothers were about to clean house among the rest-room staff once Lin Chuan was gone—dealing harshly with those disobedient, arrogant, and dissenting elements and claiming the rest area as their own domain—within a week, Lin Chuan was back. This truly upset the Song family brothers.

"Damn it!" Song Wu also harbored a belly full of anger, but was forcibly holding it back.

"Fuck!" Suddenly, in a swift moment, Song Wen grabbed a folding chair and fiercely swung it towards Lin Chuan.

Even though he knew he was no match for Lin Chuan, Song Wen nonetheless threw himself recklessly into the fray. Like a moth to a flame, his sacrifice was destined. Just as Song Wen attacked Lin Chuan, Lin Chuan stood still, watching as the folding chair in Song Wen's hand was about to come crashing down.

Whoosh...

Lin Chuan suddenly moved.

Plop...

Lin Chuan swiftly dodged to the side and extended his right foot. Song Wen, lacking Lin Chuan's reaction speed, was unexpectedly tripped. He immediately lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground. The chair in his hands smashed into the floor and flew a great distance away.

"Ouch..." Song Wen screamed in agony, toppling over. His head also felt dizzy from the fall. As he regained some awareness, he immediately sensed something was terribly wrong. Song Wen felt an intense pain in his teeth, and it seemed there was something extra in his mouth. Touching it with his hand, he felt a surge of pain and spat out the foreign object. Seeing the half a bloody tooth, he panicked: "My tooth, my tooth, my tooth!"

Song Wu hurriedly approached and, after a quick examination, he urgently said, "It's okay, it's okay. It's just the half of a dental implant that fell out, we can get it fixed again later."

"Damn it, damn him!" Song Wen angrily stood up and fiercely lunged towards Lin Chuan with the folding chair in his hands.

"Still doesn't get it." Lin Chuan sneered coldly.

This time, Lin Chuan didn't trip up, but instead charged forward. He caught the heavily thrown chair with one hand. Song Wen was surprised, as the chair weighed over ten kilograms, and the force behind it would definitely exceed a hundred kilograms. He was truly astonished and puzzled that his opponent could actually catch his chair so solidly.

"It's your turn!" Lin Chuan said with a cold smile, a chilling smile forming at the corner of his mouth, making Song Wen feel somewhat uncomfortable, as if there was a thorn pricking at his heart.

Lin Chuan suddenly raised his leg, kicking Song Wen in the abdomen.

Splurch...

Song Wen was sent flying out, and during his backward fall, he even vomited some stomach acid, likely throwing up the food he had eaten the night before. This time, Song Wen fell and did not get up, instead falling into unconsciousness.

"Song Wen." Song Wu rushed over, tried to help him up, but to no avail as he was completely unconscious.

Upon hearing those words, everyone around was alarmed.

"It's over, could Song Wen be dead?"

"Damn, Lin Chuan has really done it now, he's actually killed Song Wen, now trouble is coming. Even Secretary Tang probably won't be able to protect him now."

In the lounge, many people gathered around, some enjoying the spectacle. Those who enjoyed the drama did not mind making things bigger, crowding around the scene. Knowing that a life might have been lost, none offered help or attempted a rescue, instead watching with keen interest, chilling to the core.

The incident quickly spread, causing alarm to Tang Yumeng and Song Ming.

Upon hearing the situation, both rushed down from upstairs.

Tang Yumeng's face was anxious, with Xiao Xue leading the way in front, and she following behind. While walking to the stairwell, she met Song Ming, who seemed much more relaxed, but upon learning that his nephew had been killed by Lin Chuan, he also hurried to check the situation, although he walked while Tang Yumeng ran.

Upon reaching the entrance to the lounge, everyone cleared a path.

"What happened?" Tang Yumeng asked urgently.

"Secretary Tang, you have to stand up for us," Song Wu, seeing several major figures of the City Committee had arrived, suddenly sat down on the ground and burst into loud crying, "Lin Chuan, this demon, without a word began beating people, now he has killed my brother, what... what are we going to do?"

"Call the police, send him to the hospital." Tang Yumeng naturally prioritized saving lives.

"Wait a minute." Song Ming hurried in and said, "Lin Chuan, why are you back here?"

"I came back to work." Lin Chuan responded.

"Who allowed you to come back?" Song Ming asked angrily, "You were personally fired by Secretary Tang, how dare you come back?"

"I asked him to come back." Tang Yumeng immediately spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Song Ming became anxious: "Secretary Tang, you can't be joking like this. How can someone who was fired be hired back? Are you treating the HR matters as a child's play? This is not a joke."

"I am not joking either." Tang Yumeng glanced at Song Ming, then said to everyone, "Lin Chuan has made contributions, that is indisputable. I don't want such talent to be wasted. My reason for dismissing Lin Chuan was to teach him a lesson, to make him cherish his current job and change his former bad habits."
