Not long after, Yun Fan arrived downstairs.
"I wonder what great gift Black Dragon wants to give me? He's making such a fuss and being so mysterious, even demanding I show up in person!"
"What a hassle!"
Yun Fan had originally wanted to refuse, as he had absolutely no free time. However, he couldn't withstand Black Dragon's enthusiasm. If this gift didn't satisfy him, he'd teach the guy a good lesson.
At this moment, Black Dragon and Lei Bao had already arrived at the entrance to welcome him.
"Where's the gift?" Yun Fan asked curiously.
"Boss, you're finally here. Upstairs, Lin..."
Before Lei Bao could finish his sentence, Black Dragon slapped him away. In Black Dragon's opinion, since it was a grand gift, it should be a bit more mysterious.
Giving the boss an unexpected surprise would prove their sincerity in pledging allegiance.
"Boss, please come upstairs!" Black Dragon bowed with a fawning posture.
"What trick is this scoundrel playing?" Although Yun Fan was puzzled, he followed them.
Arriving at the door, Black Dragon stopped. "Boss, the gift is inside. You can retrieve it yourself!"
Seeing Black Dragon being so secretive, Yun Fan grew impatient. "Black Dragon, why don't you just tell me what it is?"
"Boss will be satisfied when he sees it!"
Black Dragon put on a knowing expression and said, "Boss, I won't disturb your good time!"
With that, he tactfully retreated.
"This guy is dragging his feet like a woman!" Yun Fan complained, but he didn't hesitate, as the door was right in front of him.
Hearing movement outside the door, Lin Tianxin's expression turned cold. Her heart sank, realizing that what she feared had finally come.
At this moment, she felt so desperate and helpless. She had no idea how many times she had cried.
"Slam!"
Yun Fan roughly pushed the door open, but he was stunned when he saw Lin Tianxin before him.
"Foot massage... girl! What are you doing here?"
Yun Fan asked awkwardly.
"So it's you! I was wondering who it was, you scoundrel!" Lin Tianxin glared at Yun Fan, her anger burning.
She had never imagined that the villain lusting after her would be Yun Fan. At this moment, she was completely disappointed in him, not expecting him to be not only a scumbag but also a mafia boss.
She cursed Yun Fan inwardly for being a hypocrite, feigning innocence while behind her back he insulted her and used such despicable means to coerce her. In her eyes, Yun Fan was no different from a beast.
After a brief moment of awkwardness, Yun Fan chuckled. He thought, *Black Dragon really understands me!* Looking at the scene before him, he couldn't help but guess that Black Dragon was arranging a foot massage for him.
And the masseuse was the foot massage girl he had been thinking about. At this moment, he had completely forgotten about the time she stood him up.
"Come on! Do it yourself!"
Yun Fan eagerly lay on the bed. Today, he was determined to enjoy this service to the fullest, or it would be a waste of Black Dragon's efforts.
"You can't even be bothered to pretend anymore! Beast, I will repay this humiliation a hundredfold!"
Lin Tianxin muttered inwardly as she unbuttoned her clothes, tears welling up in her eyes again.
Yun Fan looked on, feeling increasingly uneasy, and subconsciously asked, "Uh... do you take off your clothes for a foot massage?"
He was just a pure-hearted boy. He only wanted a legitimate foot massage! While an informal one might be acceptable, it wasn't the time for it yet.
"Your demeanor disgusts me. You went to all this trouble to arrange all this, just to get my body, didn't you? Fine, I'll give it to you!"
Lin Tianxin said, forcing herself to suppress her revulsion.
"Who wants your body? Weren't you hired by them to give me a foot massage?" Yun Fan felt like crying. This foot massage girl seemed to have a huge misunderstanding about him!
"How long are you going to torment me?"
Lin Tianxin, already on the verge of a breakdown, finally erupted:
"You had them kidnap me here just to defile me? And now you're acting all innocent and pure, like a white lotus. Don't you find that disgusting?"
After venting, Lin Tianxin could no longer control her emotions and burst into tears on the spot.
"Sob... sob..."
"Stop crying for now. My head is a bit muddled. Let me sort this out first!" Yun Fan quickly comforted her.
"Get lost! I don't need your fake sympathy!"
Lin Tianxin pushed him away.
Yun Fan, still confused about the situation, immediately shouted outside, "Black Dragon, get your ass in here, pronto!"
"Boss, is this woman refusing to serve you?"
"She's ungrateful!"
Black Dragon stormed in, enraged, about to scold Lin Tianxin, when Yun Fan kicked him to the ground.
"Explain! What's going on?" Yun Fan demanded, suppressing his anger.
Black Dragon quickly got up from the ground and sheepishly explained, "Boss, you like beautiful women, right? So I had Lei Bao kidnap this girl for you to have some fun!"
"Yes, yes, that's right!"
Lei Bao, who had arrived shortly after, chimed in, "If she dares to refuse to let you have fun, I'll kill her!"
"Have fun my ass!"
Yun Fan instantly understood what was happening and began to beat them both.
"Didn't I warn you long ago not to do any more evil deeds? Are you just ignoring my words the moment I turn my back?"
"Ahhh!"
"Boss, spare us! We'll never dare to do it again!"
The two cried out in pain and begged for mercy.
After teaching them a lesson, Yun Fan said guiltily to Lin Tianxin, "Uh... uh... I really didn't know they kidnapped you. It's a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding!"
"Misunderstanding?"
Lin Tianxin sneered. "Yun Fan, in your eyes, am I not someone you can toy with and trample on at any time?"
"I'm truly not that kind of person. Regardless of your background, you were the first friend I made in Jiangnan. How could I bear to hurt you?"
Yun Fan felt deeply guilty. In his eyes, it didn't matter if Lin Tianxin was a foot massage girl, a singer, or even kept by someone else. He never looked down on her.
Instead, he admired Lin Tianxin's greatness. For the sake of supporting those orphans, she was willing to descend into a life of hardship. Such a woman, he would always respect.
Little did he know that as soon as he finished speaking, Lei Bao added, "Boss, it was my fault this time. I shouldn't have kidnapped her so roughly. Next time, I'll be gentler!"
"There's a next time?"
Lin Tianxin instantly exploded. *A dog can't change its nature.*
"Bang!"
Yun Fan kicked Lei Bao flying on the spot.
"That's for talking too much!"
Then, he quickly assured Lin Tianxin, "Don't worry. If they dare to harass you again, I'll break their legs!"
"Not only will I not let them kidnap you, but I'll have them send people to protect you!"
Black Dragon and Lei Bao were stunned. So their boss knew Miss Lin. They cursed themselves for doing good deeds with bad intentions.
This beating wasn't in vain!
Unexpectedly, Lin Tianxin didn't appreciate it at all. "Heh, I hope I never see you again!"
With that, Lin Tianxin left without looking back.
"Boss, that... we didn't know you knew her either!"
Knowing they had made a mistake, the two stood sheepishly before Yun Fan.
"Get out!"
Yun Fan was furious! The more he looked at them, the more annoying they seemed.
The two wisely left. But as Black Dragon reached the door, he turned back to Yun Fan and asked, "Boss, three days later, there's a bidding conference for a company under Black Dragon's banner..."
"I'm busy. You handle it yourselves!"
...
The Lin family.
Lin Zhenxiong's hair had turned even whiter recently. Seeing the precarious situation of the Lin family, he had to make a change.
This change was the Black Dragon Real Estate project. If he could win the bid, he would be able to connect with the Black Dragon Society.
At that time, the Chen family would surely not dare to interfere with the Lin family's cooperation with the Black Dragon Society, thus allowing the Lin family's business to turn around and counter the Chen family.
However, he knew that gaining the recognition of the Black Dragon Society was almost impossible. But he was willing to try as long as there was a glimmer of hope.
At this moment, Lin Tianxin returned.
Seeing his daughter's red eyes and poor complexion, Lin Zhenxiong asked with concern, "Tianxin, what's wrong?"
"Dad, I'm fine. I just want to be alone!"
Who is alone?
"Pah!"
Lin Zhenxiong spat and asked solicitously, "Did that brat Yun Fan bully you? I'll stand up for you!"
He was worried about Yun Fan and Lin Tianxin's marriage because days had passed with no progress.
"No!"
Lin Tianxin didn't want to explain further and went straight back to her room.
Lin Zhenxiong, who had originally wanted Lin Tianxin to bid, decided to go himself. After all, he didn't want his daughter to be burdened any further.
"Alas! I shouldn't trouble him with this matter!" Lin Zhenxiong sighed, not bothering Yun Fan with business matters.
...
The Chen family.
Chen Xuan had been in a bad mood recently. According to his plan, he should have taken over the Lin family by now. He hadn't expected his mole within the Lin family to have an accident.
This had caused his plan to be temporarily shelved. Moreover, the Lin family seemed to be regaining its strength, which was not a good sign.
At this moment, someone reported from outside:
"Young Master Chen, a subordinate has received news that Lin Zhenxiong wants to rise again by relying on the Black Dragon Real Estate project."
"Dream on!"
Chen Xuan sneered. "The Chen family is determined to win the bid for Black Dragon Real Estate. He won't cause any waves!"
With his machinations, the Chen family had already blocked the Lin family's retreat. The Lin family was now at its last gasp. It was completely impossible for the Lin family to turn things around by relying on the Black Dragon Society project.
Because he would not let the Lin family succeed.
At this moment, he asked again, "Has that old man Bai Xiaotian departed?"
"Reporting to Young Master Chen, he hasn't departed yet. He said he has something to deal with!"
Instantly, Chen Xuan was enraged. "This old man is always dragging his feet. Doesn't he want to avenge his disciple?"
That's right. The injured Zhou Jie from that night had been dealt with by him to deepen Bai Xiaotian's hatred for Yun Fan. However, although Bai Xiaotian outwardly agreed to take revenge, he had not set off yet, which angered Chen Xuan greatly.
His subordinate continued to report, "Young Master Chen, although that old man hasn't come, his daughter has arrived in Jiangnan!"
Chen Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "Keep an eye on his daughter for now. She will be of great use at a critical moment!"
"Yes!"
