Lin Chuan could imagine the pressure Tang Yumeng was under in her heart.

The piece of land at Changlin Factory had been around for a long time, and the Northeast Tiger had also not developed it after acquiring that piece of land. As the real estate market heated up, the value of Changlin Factory's land gradually increased. Therefore, many real estate developers went to the City Committee hoping to take over the land from Heng'an Group, including well-known domestic real estate developers like Hengda, Mingsheng...

"Sis, sorry to see you aggrieved," Lin Chuan said with a wry smile.

"It's okay," Tang Yumeng shook her head and said: "You have to be more competitive and not let your sister down."

"Sis, Bai Yifan is really hateful. Don't see him next time," Lin Chuan said earnestly.

"I know!" Tang Yumeng nodded.

After a moment of silence, Lin Chuan hurriedly said: "Sis, Liu Shaoqi is dead, did you know?"

"It happened a couple of days ago," Tang Yumeng glanced at Lin Chuan and then said: "The police investigated, they say it was homicide. Why the sudden interest in this matter?"

"Hehe..." Lin Chuan chuckled and said: "Because he was my classmate."

"Really?" Tang Yumeng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said: "Your classmate is doing so well, why are you still marking time?"

"Haha!" Lin Chuan laughed out loud.

"What are you laughing at? What brings you here all of a sudden?" Tang Yumeng asked.

"Just suddenly missed you." Lin Chuan took Tang Yumeng's hand.

Tang Yumeng's hands were slender, with long fingers, smooth and shiny nails, and delicate skin. Tang Yumeng's hands were so beautiful they were thrilling. The beautiful hands, smooth and flawless. Lin Chuan gently kissed Tang Yumeng's hand and then said: "Sis, there's something missing on your hand."

"What's missing?" Tang Yumeng asked curiously.

"Hmm, a diamond ring is missing," Lin Chuan chuckled and, while speaking, he took out a ring from his pocket, then smiled and said: "Sis, what do you think of this ring?"

Tang Yumeng's eyes widened, and she said: "You... are you proposing to me?"

"Hehe, so will you accept?" Lin Chuan asked with a smile.

"I don't agree," Tang Yumeng hummed softly and said: "Who proposes like this."

"Then how do you want it?" Lin Chuan asked curiously.

"I want a grand, romantic, and well-known proposal ceremony," Tang Yumeng said arrogantly, her tone seemed full of provocation to Lin Chuan. It was as if she was saying, Buddy, you definitely can't do it.

"Hehe, okay, you said it, later I will throw a proposal ceremony that will cause a stir in the city," Lin Chuan smirked.

"You!" Tang Yumeng paused for a second, then laughed: "Okay, but it has to satisfy me."

Lin Chuan laughingly slipped the ring onto Tang Yumeng's finger, saying: "Come on, wait for me, I'll first snag you with this ring."

"Hehe..." Even though there wasn't a grand proposal ceremony, Tang Yumeng was already very content with Lin Chuan's sentiment. She smiled cunningly, playing with the diamond ring on her middle finger, and said: "Okay, I'll wait for your marriage proposal. Then I'll marry you."

"Agreed!" Lin Chuan was instantly elated.

...

After leaving the City Committee, Bai Yifan returned to Extraordinary Bar.

He drank sullenly in the bar alone. His mood was extremely irritable; Tang Yumeng was drifting away from him, and Lin Chuan had bullied him several times. This made him feel intolerable. He clenched his teeth tightly, and his inner anger deepened. The grudges between him and Lin Chuan had been long-standing. In the past, he never took Lin Chuan seriously, thinking he was just a small-time hooligan, a pauper, with no competition with himself.

But as time went on, Bai Yifan realized he was wrong, and terribly so. Lin Chuan was a strong contender, he had a powerful backing, and even Song Ming couldn't beat him. Not only that, Lin Chuan himself was also very strong; even Qin Dalei's multiple attempts to send assassins to kill him had failed.

Bai Yifan was very depressed, and as the alcohol in his body increased, he found his inner anger growing more and more. Plus, the slap Lin Chuan had given him in the Extraordinary Bar last time made Bai Yifan's anger surge even more.

Quickly, Bai Yifan immediately thought of the poison Qin Dalei had given him. If he wanted to get Tang Yumeng, then Lin Chuan had to be removed. As long as Lin Chuan was not dead, Bai Yifan would find no peace. Clenching his teeth tightly, he looked at the transparent plastic bag on the table, which contained some white powder, the deadly poison, where just a bit of this powder was enough to kill several elephants.

"Tang Yu, you forced my hand," Bai Yifan gritted his teeth.

If he couldn't have it, then he might as well destroy it. This was Bai Yifan's inner principle. Since childhood, no one had ever beaten him except Lin Chuan. Everything he liked, everything he wanted, he had never failed to acquire, except Tang Yumeng.

Bai Yifan thought for a long time, then picked up the phone and dialed Tang Yumeng's number.

"I hope you won't contact me again," Tang Yumeng answered the phone and said: "I don't want to have any more contact with you."

"Xiao Yu, I'm sorry," Bai Yifan said remorsefully: "I was indeed wrong today, I am the most despicable, I shouldn't have said those words, I've reflected deeply after going home. I sincerely apologise to you."

"This..." Tang Yumeng didn't know what to say.

Before Tang Yumeng could continue, Bai Yifan spoke up: "Xiao Yu, I'm planning to invite you and Lin Chuan for a meal and to apologize. I hope we won't become mortal enemies. After all, we were once the best of friends, weren't we? I hope our friendship can continue and not be severed."

Feeling gloomy and conflicted, Tang Yumeng decided to give Bai Yifan a chance and nodded: "Alright, the ability to recognize and correct one's mistakes is commendable."

"Half past seven this evening, at Xianghui Building," Bai Yifan hurriedly said.

"Okay," Tang Yumeng nodded.

After hanging up, Tang Yumeng called Lin Chuan and relayed Bai Yifan's apology.

"Sis, are you really going?" Lin Chuan asked anxiously.

"Since he wants to change, why not give him a chance?" Tang Yumeng smiled: "Everyone makes mistakes, right?"

"But this guy is an ungrateful wretch," Lin Chuan hurriedly said: "I suspect he's deliberately setting a trap to ensnare you."

"Aren't you going to be there?" Tang Yumeng smiled: "Don't overthink it, it's just a meal and we're still friends!"

Unable to persuade Tang Yumeng, Lin Chuan reluctantly agreed.

Half past seven in the evening. Lin Chuan drove Tang Yumeng and they arrived at Xianghui Building on time.

Bai Yifan was already waiting at the entrance.

"You guys finally made it," Bai Yifan smiled: "Come on in, it's quite hot outside."

"Mr. Bai, were you a Sichuan opera singer in your past life?" Lin Chuan jokingly asked.

"Huh?" Bai Yifan was taken aback.

"Your face-changing is really fast!" Lin Chuan laughed.

"I..." Bai Yifan, looking embarrassed, said: "Lin Chuan, you really have a way of joking."

"I'm not good at joking," Lin Chuan shook his head and said: "I always speak the truth."

Bai Yifan didn't dare to continue the conversation and hurriedly, looking embarrassed, said: "No more jokes, please come inside."

With that, everyone walked in.

Xianghui Building, the largest Hunan cuisine restaurant in Jiangbei City. The Hunan cuisine here is also very authentic.

Both Lin Chuan and Tang Yumeng are from Jiangbei City, and being close to Hunan, they have a special love for spicy food. Their tastes are quite strong. The three of them went into the private room inside. They sat down in the room.

Bai Yifan hurriedly called the waiter to bring drinks.

"Lin Chuan, Xiao Yu," Bai Yifan raised his glass and then said: "I'm truly in the wrong about today's matter, and I've deeply realized my mistake. So, I hope you can forgive me."

Tang Yumeng smiled and said: "Since you can realize your mistake, how can I blame you? Changlin Factory's land has already been won by Sichuan University Group. Also, I have already accepted Lin Chuan's marriage proposal. So, I hope you won't pester me anymore, and we can be good friends, but we can never be lovers."

Bai Yifan was slightly startled and said: "Yes, yes!"

After that, Tang Yumeng immediately raised her glass. Everyone drank their first glass.

Bai Yifan watched Tang Yumeng drink that glass of wine and immediately felt relieved. Lin Chuan, however, didn't drink but sat motionless, his eyes constantly watching Bai Yifan. This made Bai Yifan a bit anxious. He embarrassedly said: "Lin Chuan, why... why aren't you drinking?"

"I..." For a moment, Lin Chuan hesitated and then smiled: "You go ahead, I'm still very full, not in the mood to drink right now."

Bai Yifan became a bit anxious, the poison had already been dropped into Lin Chuan's glass, and if Lin Chuan didn't drink, then his plan couldn't be carried out. But now, he couldn't appear too anxious, otherwise it would be very easy for people to notice.

"Okay, okay," Bai Yifan nodded embarrassedly.

On the side, Tang Yumeng urged: "Lin Chuan, don't be angry. Just drink, Bai Yifan is kindly treating us to a meal, don't spoil the mood."

Lin Chuan still hesitated, a bad premonition lingering in his heart, and his right eyelid kept twitching. Moreover, Lin Chuan's innate sixth sense made him feel a sense of danger. Thus, he was worried.

Seeing Lin Chuan continuously hesitating, Tang Yumeng took Lin Chuan's drink and said: "If you won't drink, let me drink it for you."

After saying that, Tang Yumeng lifted the glass to her mouth and started to chug.

"Don't..." Bai Yifan cried out in alarm upon seeing this.

Tang Yumeng had already guzzled half the glass and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"It's over," Bai Yifan watched the half glass of wine in Tang Yumeng's cup and slumped into the chair.
