"Ptooey, don't expect to get any news from me," the strong man roared.

"Zhou Kai, looks like we have to resort to your special skills," Zhou Kai said through clenched teeth. "This kid's lips are sealed. We can't pry them open at all."

"No use," Lin Chuan shook his head.

"Huh?" Zhou Kai was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly asked, "Why is it no use?"

"Because when dealing with outlaws like these, no amount of torture will be particularly effective," Lin Chuan said with a wry smile.

"Why?" Lu Dapao asked curiously.

"They have long been ready to lose their heads," Lin Chuan grinned. "So, typical punishment won't work on them."

"Then what should we do?" Zhou Kai interjected.

"Find a way," Lin Chuan took a puff of his cigarette and said, "I believe everyone has weaknesses."

"Just kill one to give them a lesson!" Lu Dapao went over, carrying a cleaver.

At that moment, Lin Chuan shook his head: "It's no use. Even if you kill them all, it's unlikely to do any good."

Lu Dapao cursed in annoyance, "Fuck, isn't it time to break their silence?"

Lin Chuan walked over slowly and fumbled in the strong man's pants pocket. He reached into the back pocket and pulled out a wallet. Inside the wallet were some cash and the man's ID card. Hidden in the innermost part of the wallet was a photo of a cute little girl.

Lin Chuan's mouth curled up slightly: "This is a photo of your daughter, isn't it?"

"It's not, stop talking nonsense!" the strong man's eyes grew tense.

"She looks a lot like you," Lin Chuan couldn't help laughing. "She's indeed adorable. Judging by the photo, it must be two years old, right? She'd be about five now? It's the cutest age. What do you think would happen if she got killed now?"

"You madman, I'll kill you!" the strong man immediately became agitated.

Even as an outlaw, despite being a fugitive, he had always had a family in his heart. In this family, his daughter was the one he needed to protect. To protect his daughter, he never spoke about being married when outside, nor did he ever mention to anyone that he had a daughter. The photo in his wallet was secretly tucked away; every time he missed home, he would take it out of the wallet and look at his daughter's picture to alleviate his homesickness.

Unexpectedly, this photo had become his fatal weakness.

Slap!

Lin Chuan suddenly raised the wallet in his hand and struck the strong man's face hard, bellowing, "Speak! Who sent you, or else I'll make sure your daughter dies without a place to be buried!"

The strong man's eyes bulged, his face twisted with ferocity. He gritted his teeth glaring at Lin Chuan, wishing he could kill Lin Chuan with his gaze.

After a long time, the strong man finally gave in. He slowly lowered his head, then said, "I'll talk."

"Go ahead," Lin Chuan gestured with his cigarette, said, "As long as you tell us, I guarantee not to trouble your wife and child."

"It was someone named Bai Yifan," the strong man sighed, saying, "He gave me half a million to infiltrate the people of Changlin Factory, instigate them to riot, and even specifically instructed us that it would be best if a few lives were lost."

Lin Chuan was shocked, "It's Bai Yifan?!"

"Damn, this kid's so arrogant!" Zhou Kai was furious, saying, "This Bai Yifan is really sinister and vicious."

After learning the truth, Lin Chuan squinted his eyes and remained silent for a long time.

Unexpectedly, this kid Bai Yifan had started playing dirty tricks too. Lin Chuan had always thought Bai Yifan was a refined man, merely arrogant, disdainful of everyone else. He thought it was just contempt for people in the lower echelons of society, but not that he was inherently bad. Not to the point of being like the Northeast Tiger, or even like Song Hao. But now it seems this guy turned out to be nothing more than a lowlife.

He's no better than people like Song Hao.

"Brother Chuan!" Zhou Kai said hastily at his side, "Shall we go settle the score with him."

"No!" Lin Chuan shook his head, "I need to find him myself."

"What about these guys?" Lu Dapao asked.

"Hand them over to the police," Lin Chuan turned and left.

First thing the next morning, Song Xiaojia immediately rushed to the warehouse in the transportation market. She could have never expected that in just one night, these three outlaws, wanted by police across various regions, were captured by Lin Chuan and his team. This genuinely surprised Song Xiaojia.

Although she didn't know how Lin Chuan managed it, Song Xiaojia believed he was definitely awesome.

"Where's Lin Chuan?" As Song Xiaojia handcuffed and locked the three men in shackles, then pushed them into the police car.

"Brother Chuan doesn't work here all the time," Zhou Kai replied, saying, "He should have gone to the City Committee."

"Then pass my thanks to him," Song Xiaojia grinned.

Zhou Kai grinned, "If you're grateful, thank him yourself, or better yet, offer yourself to him."

"Drop dead!" Song Xiaojia glared at him and then followed the others into the police car, leaving with a siren scream.

Watching Song Xiaojia's departing figure, Zhou Kai couldn't help laughing, "No wonder Brother Chuan likes her, not only is she pretty, she's got a big chest and a perky butt too. Tsk tsk... must feel nice to touch."

......

City Committee.

Lin Chuan went to Tang Yumeng's office and recounted the whole situation to her in detail.

"Impossible!" Tang Yumeng immediately shook her head and said seriously, "Bai Yifan would never do such a thing. Based on my understanding of him, he's not that kind of person."

"I have always thought so too, but now I don't think so anymore." Lin Chuan looked at Tang Yumeng.

At this moment, Tang Yumeng smiled and said, "Lin Chuan, I really do like you a lot, and I love you too. I have made up my mind to marry you. So, there's no need for you to use such methods to slander Bai Yifan. What's between him and me is really just a normal friendship. Don't overthink it."

Lin Chuan was stunned, his brows furrowed as he said, "Sister, do you think that everything I told you today was just to slander Bai Yifan?"

"I..." Tang Yumeng was at a loss for words, and awkwardly smiled, "Lin Chuan, don't think too much. There's really nothing but innocence between Bai Yifan and me, it's not as complicated as you imagine."

"What about that time he drugged you?" Lin Chuan interrogated.

"He explained to me that it was a moment of impulsion," Tang Yumeng said with a laugh, "That's why he did such a foolish thing. But in the end, didn't it turn out okay? Of course, all this is thanks to you. If it weren't for you, perhaps things wouldn't have ended this way."

"You actually think this way?" Lin Chuan felt it was somewhat unbelievable.

A woman capable of tolerating all the flaws and mistakes of a man. Yet this woman still claims to have a pure relationship with that man. Lin Chuan suddenly felt he couldn't listen anymore.

"That's right." Tang Yumeng nodded, saying, "Bai Yifan has helped me a lot, he's given me plenty of encouragement and comfort."

Zheng...

Lin Chuan suddenly stood up, ready to turn around and leave.

"Where are you going?" Tang Yumeng quickly asked.

"I'm going to find Bai Yifan and ask him what kind of love potion he's been feeding you!" Lin Chuan cursed angrily.

Tang Yumeng quickly stood up and scolded, "Stop right there!"

Lin Chuan stood at the door, turning his head to look at Tang Yumeng, and said, "Sister, you're scolding me?"

"I..." Tang Yumeng's face flushed red as she said, "I... I just don't want you to do something foolish."

"How about this." Lin Chuan said with a cold laugh, "Whether it was Bai Yifan who did this or not, sister, come with me to confront Bai Yifan, how about that?"

"Alright." Tang Yumeng nodded, then suddenly asked, "And if it turns out that Bai Yifan didn't do this?"

"Then I'll kneel down to him and call him grandpa!" Lin Chuan's eyes were wide with anger.

Tang Yumeng's eyes showed some complexity, she seemed to regret asking that question as every single thing she had just said was in defense of Bai Yifan. She was always protecting Bai Yifan, obviously showing partiality.

Tang Yumeng suddenly felt a sense of self-blame. She was clearly Lin Chuan's girlfriend, yet she insisted on protecting Bai Yifan. No one could tolerate this.

Puchi...

Tang Yumeng suddenly burst into laughter, then playfully pulled Lin Chuan's arm, coquettishly saying, "Why are you like this? I'm trying to communicate with you, yet you're being so unreasonable to me."

Lin Chuan, holding back his anger, retorted, "It's you who has been biased towards Bai Yifan at every turn. If it weren't so, why would I be angry?"

"Alright, don't be angry." Tang Yumeng squeezed Lin Chuan's cheek with a beaming smile and said, "Getting angry because of Bai Yifan is not worth it!"

"I'm not angry at him, it's you that I'm angry with." Lin Chuan was brimming with unvented frustration.

"Why?" Tang Yumeng blinked her twinkling eyes at Lin Chuan, which made Lin Chuan even more unable to vent his frustration.

"Let's go," Lin Chuan said, pulling Tang Yumeng towards the exit.

......

Extraordinary Bar.

Bai Yifan was alone at the bar drinking, a sneaky smile appeared on his lips. Thinking about yesterday's event, Lin Chuan's Sichuan University Group might be in trouble. Bai Yifan thought everything he did was perfect, little did he know that Lin Chuan had already seen through it all.

"Mr. Bai, Secretary Tang has arrived," the waiter hurried over to say.

"Oh?" Hearing this, Bai Yifan was elated and said, "Quick, please let her in."

Without waiting for the waiter's reply, Bai Yifan hurriedly ran over.

At the entrance, Tang Yumeng and Lin Chuan walked into the bar. When Bai Yifan saw Lin Chuan beside Tang Yumeng, the smile on his face immediately faded. Normally, it was always Tang Yumeng who came to see him on her own, but today she brought Lin Chuan along. This gave Bai Yifan a rather uneasy premonition.

"Xiao Yu, you're here?" Bai Yifan greeted with a smile.

"Yes, I came to see you about something today," Tang Yumeng maintained a polite smile on her face.
