Lin Chuan's mouth curled into a mischievous smile as he grinned, "Little girl, you're asking for this."

"I'm willing!" Zhou Rui looked up at Lin Chuan, her eyes conveying a strong longing.

Lin Chuan's hands involuntarily slid into her neckline, and Zhou Rui instantly went limp. She bit her red lips and said, "Lin Chuan, I... I want to be your woman."

"Alright!" Lin Chuan panted heavily.

Rip...

Suddenly, Lin Chuan exerted force with his hands, and Zhou Rui's white dress was immediately torn apart by him. Her pale skin was instantly exposed. The first to be revealed was a broad expanse of bosom, followed by a flat stomach, and then her long, modestly overlapping legs.

"Ah..." Zhou Rui screamed, "You jerk, you... you actually tore my dress."

"I'll buy you a new one later." Lin Chuan wheezed.

Zhou Rui hastily covered her chest and said, "You... you're too hasty."

"Isn't that what you wanted?" Lin Chuan grinned and said, "Then let me fulfill your wish!"

After saying that, he immediately pounced on her. Before Zhou Rui could react, Lin Chuan pinned her down, resolutely removed her bra, and lunged at her. Zhou Rui wrapped her arms around Lin Chuan's neck. It was as if tiny electric currents were flowing through her blood, stimulating every single cell in his body.

And these cells seemed to be opening their mouths, greedily breathing in the fresh air.

Zhou Rui felt like she was almost being devoured by these cells. That comfortable sensation gave her a thrilling experience. She held Lin Chuan tightly, fearing he would leave her side.

At the peak of her emotion, Zhou Rui couldn't help but shout out loud, "Lin Chuan, give it to me. Give it to me!"

Smack!

Lin Chuan tore off Zhou Rui's white lace panties. He gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, here I come."

Having said that, Lin Chuan flipped over and pressed Zhou Rui underneath him.

His movements were fierce and swift.

Crack!

Just as Lin Chuan was about to pounce like a starving wolf, there was a crisp sound, and the tree branch fixing the hanging chair instantly broke. The hanging chair with both of them in it fell from mid-air. Lin Chuan tumbled out of the chair.

"Ouch..." Zhou Rui cried out, falling and landing with a smack.

Lin Chuan fell from the hanging chair to the ground, but the fall actually sobered him up quite a bit. He looked around in confusion, especially when he saw Zhou Rui completely bare, Lin Chuan was utterly dumbfounded. He didn't understand how he could suddenly do such a thing.

Zhou Rui's face was full of embarrassment as she covered her body and coquettishly said, "You jerk, what are you still looking at? Hurry up and pick me up."

Lin Chuan quickly got up and then swiftly carried Zhou Rui into the house.

After what had just happened, the earlier pleasure was obviously gone. Back in the office, Lin Chuan hurriedly put on his clothes. Zhou Rui looked disappointed as Lin Chuan had already dressed, and naturally, she couldn't say much. With no alternative, she had to sulkily dress herself as well.

Both now fully clothed, Lin Chuan looked at Zhou Rui, who had a face full of gloom and disappointment. Lin Chuan felt a bit awkward and gave a wry smile, saying helplessly, "Xiao Rui, I... I've got something to take care of, so I need to leave first."

"You're just going to leave me like this?" Zhou Rui pursed her lips.

"That... um," Lin Chuan felt extraordinarily embarrassed, "I'll need you to look after things at the project. If there's any issue, remember to notify me. I'll help you solve it as soon as possible."

After finishing his words, Lin Chuan bolted out the door.

Zhou Rui watched Lin Chuan's retreating figure, her face filled with irritation.

Bang...

Zhou Rui grabbed her neck pillow and threw it fiercely, cursing angrily, "This asshole stirred me up, and now he's running away, not a good man at all. He's making me so mad!"

Anyone would be infuriated in this situation, having been provoked and then left hanging. Zhou Rui sat in the chair, fuming with anger. However, as she thought it over, she suddenly burst into laughter. She talked to herself, "Hmph, I let you get away this time, but I'll see what you do next time, see how you'll escape from my palm."

After she spoke, a smug smile appeared on Zhou Rui's face.

Leaving the Eight Horses Tea House, Lin Chuan felt his whole body drenched in sweat, incredibly relieved that the "big shot" hadn't gone off. Otherwise, given Xiao Rui's temperament, once they crossed that line, she'd probably cling to him forever. Of course, it's not that he feared her clinging to him, but rather that he didn't want his life changed because of Zhou Rui. At least for now, he didn't entertain the thought of marrying her.

Since he hadn't thought about marrying her, he couldn't just sleep with her casually.

Dating without the purpose of marriage is toying with feelings. That's a teaching from a great figure; he mustn't forget it.

In summer, the sun sets late.

After 7 p.m., the sun had set, but the light was still plentiful. Zhou Kai and the others gathered at the transportation market, feasting on a night snack, delighting in barbecue. The group was eating with great enjoyment.

"Brothers, come on, raise your glasses," Zhou Kai called out excitedly.

"Here here!" the crowd cheered.

Then, everyone immediately raised their glasses, toasting and drinking heartily.

Zhou Kai sported an inscrutable smile, his lips curled up as he said, "Brothers, hurry, let's drink."

"Chuanzi Ge is here!" Li Qiang shouted.

Everyone put down their glasses as Zhou Kai smiled, "Chuanzi Ge, come have a drink with the brothers."

"Sure!" Lin Chuan nodded.

Then, Lin Chuan immediately joined the ranks of the night snackers, downing beer after beer, the skewers never ceasing.

After three rounds of drinks, under the stimulus of alcohol, Lin Chuan became a bit excited.

"Brothers," Lin Chuan glanced at them and then said, "I have some good news for you!"

"What good news?" Zhou Kai asked curiously.

"Hehe, our Feixiang Company is planning to invest in real estate," Lin Chuan revealed with a grin.

Upon hearing this, everyone was thrilled. Lu Dapao exclaimed excitedly, "Oh my, can this be true?"

"Of course it's true!" Lin Chuan nodded and said, "Moreover, the land we're developing is our own territory, the Changlin Factory site. Hehe, I've already touched base with the City Committee, and once our paperwork is done, the bank loan will come through quickly. Then, that plot will be ours. We'll find someone to design the blueprints, and then dive into the real estate industry. Hehe, we might even set up a corporate group and who knows, maybe even go public."

"Oh my..." the crowd gasped in astonishment.

This was something beyond everyone's imagination; the real estate boom was a national topic. Even a tier-three small city like Jiangbei City was so hot, let alone other places. And the land of Changlin Factory was right next to the most bustling area of Jiangbei City. The Northeast Tiger had strained every nerve to secure this land and had been waiting to develop it but was obstructed. Later, when Heng'an Group went bankrupt, and the Northeast Tiger died, the land naturally became ownerless. If they could secure it for themselves, how could the Jvyi Gang not prosper?

"Brothers!" Lin Chuan stood up, grinning and said, "As long as you stick with the Jvyi Gang, you'll rise to prominence someday, your name known far and wide. Our slogan is, we chase girls together, we make money together."

"Roar roar roar..." the crowd shouted.

With Lin Chuan's words, the crowd was even more excited. If they could really develop the Changlin Factory land, it would surely trigger a flood-like explosion of wealth for the Jvyi Gang. By then, perhaps no one could stop the Jvyi Gang's advance.

The crowd was incredibly excited and agitated.

Zhou Kai and others, as the earliest veterans of the Jvyi Gang, were the happiest, seeing the Jvyi Gang developing in such a great direction, they obviously felt an immense sense of glory and excitement. Zhou Kai raised his glass excitedly, "Brothers, come on, a toast to celebrate the hard-earned today of our Jvyi Gang."

"Roar roar!" Everyone raised their glasses.

Because of the high spirits, the drinking was particularly hearty. The group drank themselves into oblivion.

Lin Chuan left just at the right moment.

Leaving the transportation market, the streetlights had already come on, the dim light casting Lin Chuan's shadow long and elongated. Behind him were the cheering and celebratory voices of Zhou Kai and the others—genuine excitement from the brothers. Ahead of him lay his lone, solitary figure, stretched long by the streetlights, as if treading a silent sanctuary of solitude.

Lin Chuan slung his jacket over his shoulder, hands in his pockets, strolling leisurely towards Changlin Factory. His pace was slow, his figure solitary, a vivid picture of being alone. Above him was a bright round moon, but beneath the dazzling lights of the city, the pure moonlight seemed especially dim.

At the gate of Changlin Factory.

A black Rolls-Royce Phantom was parked at the entrance, with Heizi and another man in camouflage short sleeves standing at the front of the car. Both had cigarettes dangling from their mouths, their eyes sharply scanning the surroundings.

After a short time, their gaze almost simultaneously fixed on Lin Chuan. They looked at him with a peculiar vigilance. Lin Chuan, hands in pockets and a cigarette in his mouth, revealed a mocking smile when he saw the two familiar faces before him, "What, not convinced last time, and here for another round?"
