Then she seemed to have realized that Su Ming had refrained from immediately clashing with Sheng Tianlun just to save her face, and her voice softened:

"I met him once at the celebration banquet for the establishment of the Longcheng Economic Development Zone. Since then, he's been stuck to me like a plaster, ever since he found out that I come to this archery range every Friday, he often comes here to find me, and I've rarely come here, almost only once a month, yet I still ran into this annoying guy."

"No need to say so much, I think I want to step outside for some air, you play here by yourself for a while." Su Ming waved his hand and then walked out of the archery range.

After that, he got into the car, closed his eyes, and began to recall the scene that had just happened.

What Lin Yanan said just now suddenly made him realize why Sheng Tianlun looked at him with such disdain, as if killing him was merely a trivial matter.

It turns out that the background behind him is so terrifying, he's even dining at the same table with people like Li Guoqiang.

Back then, Li Guoqiang's men crushed Baitu's lower body and chased him out of Longcheng like a stray dog — that scene still reverberates in Su Ming's mind, and he can't forget it.

These ruthless figures who almost dominate Longcheng with a single hand indeed find it as easy to kill a few ordinary people as squashing a few insects.

Su Ming immediately exhaled a breath of stale air, feeling somewhat fortunate he didn't clash with Sheng Tianlun right away, or he would have paid a heavy price to leave the archery range relying on his skills.

Su Ming could have killed him on the spot too, after all, he had already aimed for his life.

However, the consequences of doing such a thing are not something his current self could bear.

Still, Su Ming's heart was filled with boundless anger, outraged by the injustice of this world!

Why do these scumbags who rely on some background get to so blatantly disregard the lives of ordinary people like them?

No, this is something he absolutely cannot tolerate! Su Ming now urgently wants to make himself stronger, whether in power or status, he wants to fiercely trample guys like Sheng Tianlun underfoot to reclaim his lost dignity!

Thinking about this, Su Ming casually covered his face with a towel beside him, and at this moment, there was a change in his entire psychology.

Recalling the humiliation he had suffered before made him tremble slightly, now he only wants to desperately become stronger to protect everything around him, everything he cherishes!

"If you're feeling bad, just cry it out, I won't laugh at you." Right at that moment, Lin Yanan opened the car door and sat in the back seat, speaking to Su Ming in an unusually gentle tone.

"Were you disappointed in me earlier because I had no thoughts of resisting in the face of that guy's provocation?" Su Ming murmured upon hearing this.

"No, on the contrary, I admire your approach, because you didn't act rashly when you weren't clear about the opponent's background." Lin Yanan's voice returned to its cold clarity.

Upon hearing this, Su Ming threw the towel covering his face aside and looked at Lin Yanan in surprise.

"I don't mean to hit your confidence, but the people behind Sheng Tianlun are indeed figures you can't afford to provoke now."

At this point, Lin Yanan's cold eyes burst into a profound gaze, looking at Su Ming seriously and said, "But I believe one day, you will stand at the top of the mountain, making those who look down on you only be able to look up to your position."

Su Ming gazed into Lin Yanan's crystal-clear eyes, and suddenly, waves of warm currents surged in his heart, his eyes gradually becoming resolute.

"Thank you, what you said makes me feel less miserable." Su Ming said softly at this moment.

Lin Yanan saw Su Ming staring at her without moving, her originally cold and beautiful face flushed with a trace of embarrassed annoyance, she feigned anger and said, "Alright! Take me home!"

"No problem." Su Ming instantly felt invigorated all over, responding with a smile, and then started the car engine.

Looking at the handsome and determined face in front of her, Lin Yanan suddenly felt a complex emotion surge within her.

She was always a career-focused business elite, known as the "Ice Queen" by outsiders.

She was like a snow lotus on an iceberg, making people only dare to admire from afar, never daring to approach an inch.

She could only confide some of her inner thoughts to her two best friends Shen Mengxue and Zeng Jia, hardly keeping in touch even with her family.

Apart from this, she maintained a distant attitude towards others, even to the extent of extreme aversion towards any man.

Yet Lin Yanan didn't know what was wrong with her; she ended up feeling sad and distressed because of this man's bad mood.

So she patiently tried to enlighten him, hoping he would quickly regain his composure.

Upon seeing Su Ming bounce back, she unexpectedly felt a mysterious sense of joy within her heart.

Lin Yanan found that her originally stagnant life seemed to become increasingly exciting after this man broke into it, rekindling her enthusiasm and longing for life.

Every morning, after waking up, she would look at the time on her phone and calculate how long until Su Ming comes to pick her up to go to the company.

She subtly anticipated at heart, full of eagerness to see Su Ming.

Yet, every time she saw him, although her face remained cold, her lips would slightly curve into a smirk, lifting her spirits.

"Crazy, I'm simply crazy! Lin Yanan, you are the Ice Queen famed in the business world! How could you become like this?"

Lin Yanan couldn't help but shake her head desperately, trying to calm her emotions.

Su Ming saw her current state in the rearview mirror, puzzlingly asked, "What's wrong with you? Is your head hurting? Do you want me to massage you?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yanan suddenly recalled the enticing scene when Su Ming was massaging her calf before, her face flushed with embarrassment, she said annoyed, "Drive properly, don't look around!"

Su Ming heard this and felt puzzled, thinking, "Why did she suddenly get mad? Wasn't I just showing concern? No wonder they say a woman's mind is like a needle at the bottom of the sea, truly impossible to comprehend."

A few days later, the boss lady and another woman appeared in Lin Yanan's office.

She smiled and introduced, "Su Ming, this is my good friend Li Qin, her daughter recently started a live streaming company, and she wants to find a decoration company for renovation."
