Volume One, Chapter Seventeen: Opportunity
Upon learning the truth that Lin Yu’s marriage was merely a sham, Old Mu was ecstatic! He even exchanged a meaningful glance with Mu Roushuang.
In recent days, Mu Roushuang had often overheard her grandfather muttering to himself, “If only the Mu family could form an alliance through marriage with Lin Yu.” The old man held great admiration for the Liu family.
When Mu Roushuang’s parents saw Lin Yu’s remarkable demeanor, they finally understood why Grandpa held him in such high regard. Lin Yu was not only distinguished in bearing and exceptional in ability, but also strikingly handsome. Everything he had just demonstrated filled Mu Roushuang with admiration and a growing fondness.
“I thought Mr. Lin was already married, so I didn’t dare ask for his contact information,” she confessed. “Now, I must seize the opportunity—happiness must be fought for.”
Gathering courage, she stepped forward to add Lin Yu on WeChat.
“Ah…” Liu Yuting immediately realized that Mu Roushuang had also been captivated by Lin Yu’s charm.
Lin Yu graciously scanned the QR code and added her as a friend. Mu Roushuang’s face lit up with a radiant, enchanting smile.
This scene weighed heavily on Liu Yuting’s heart—Mu Roushuang was clearly vying for the same man!
At that moment, Li Dongkang presented a cheque to Lin Yu with both hands: “Mr. Lin, this is your consultation fee. Please accept it.”
Lin Yu took it and smiled: “One hundred million? You’re quite generous.”
Liu Yuting was stunned—earning a billion just like that?
Unexpectedly, Lin Yu casually handed the cheque to Mu Roushuang. “You gave the massage just now; this money belongs to you.”
His gesture left everyone dumbfounded. A sum this vast, given away so readily? Mr. Lin was truly magnanimous!
Startled, Mu Roushuang quickly declined. Seeing this, Old Mu grew anxious, thinking his beloved granddaughter was too naive. “If Mr. Lin offers it, you must accept.”
Li Dongkang also quickly regained composure. “I was so amazed by Mr. Lin’s medical skills that I almost forgot to give consultation fees to Old Mu and Miss Mu. My apologies.”
He swiftly issued two more cheques, each worth one hundred million.
Lin Yu smiled faintly. Li Dongkang was clever and generous—a true talent.
“Thank you very much,” Lin Yu said as he divided the cheques between Old Mu and Mu Roushuang: “Everyone shares, everyone is happy!”
Mu Roushuang no longer objected and accepted graciously.
Now, Lin Kexin’s rare and difficult illness causing breathing difficulties was completely cured.
Old Mu regained his dignity as a healer and the respect of others—a perfect conclusion!
“I must be going now. Goodbye,” Lin Yu said, taking Liu Yuting’s hand as they left.
As they mounted the motorcycle, Liu Yuting immediately wrapped her arms tightly around Lin Yu from behind, her softness enveloping him completely.
Lin Yu smiled gently, did not resist, and drove away.
At that moment, Li Dongkang’s curiosity could no longer be contained. He asked Old Mu, “Who exactly is Mr. Lin?”
Old Mu smiled mysteriously: “Lin Yu is so young yet possesses such miraculous and exquisite medical skills. There’s no way he is an ordinary person.”
“Your daughter Li Meijun offended Mr. Lin earlier, but he only lightly reprimanded her. Your Li family is quite fortunate!”
Li Dongkang pondered for a moment. Among the prestigious families he knew, none could cultivate such a prodigious medical talent even by exhausting their resources.
He formed a theory: Lin Yu was a hidden dragon, a person with a terrifying background. Silent until now, but when he strikes, it’s earth-shattering.
The more he thought, the more alarmed Li Dongkang became.
Meanwhile, Li Meijun was nearly petrified with fear: “So Lin Yu wasn’t joking when he said he could really kill me!”
Li Dongkang scolded her harshly: “For years, you’ve been arrogant and lawless, relying on your family’s name!”
“You almost destroyed the Li family just now. I’m sending you to the military camp for proper reform!”
Li Meijun begged tearfully, but it was no use; Li Dongkang personally bound her and took her away.

At the Liu residence, the roar of a motorcycle heralded the return of Liu Yuting and Lin Yu.
Liu Wanyun noticed their laughter and closeness, frowning slightly: “Why is Yuting so intimate with Lin Yu now?”
Yet she remained silent for the time being, and Liu Yuting said nothing about the day’s events.
“Lin Yu!” The elder Liu greeted him warmly, calling Liu Wanyun over. “Arrange a position for Xiao Yu at the company tomorrow.”
“You two working together should help improve the bond between husband and wife!”
“Let Xiao Yu’s starting salary be 300,000 a month.”
The old man was strategic, a master at creating opportunities.
Wanyun was startled. “Grandpa, why should Lin Yu get such a high salary?”
Father-in-law Liu Shitai couldn’t help but complain: “Dad! You’ll cause discontent among the staff!”
The elder Liu roared: “My grandson-in-law is a shareholder. Any problem with a high salary?”
“If anyone objects, they can resign on their own!”
Liu Shitai and Liu Wanyun were speechless, shooting Lin Yu a sharp glare.
“Thank you, Grandpa,” Lin Yu said nonchalantly. A monthly salary of three hundred thousand was too generous to refuse.
Liu Shitai and Liu Wanyun seethed, believing the old man had fallen under Lin Yu’s spell.
It turned out the elder Liu had checked his black card balance and found not a single penny missing—Lin Yu hadn’t misused his money at the bar that day.
This only increased the elder Liu’s admiration for Lin Yu.
The next day at work, Lin Yu caught a ride for his first day at the company.
Liu Shitai told Liu Wanyun, “I heard that Zhou Lei, president of the Dongzhou Chamber of Commerce in the provincial capital, came to Jiangcheng with a group of elite troops.”
“Apparently, he’s here on business for a mysterious VIP.”
Liu Wanyun nodded. “I’ve heard about this too.”
“The night before last, I even met Jiangcheng’s top female warrior—Leng Rushuang. Could Zhou Lei be here on her behalf?”
Liu Shitai was shocked. “You met the female warrior?”
Liu Wanyun blushed deeply, unsure how to speak of that night—she had drunkenly kissed Lin Yu.
Lin Yu chuckled behind her. “Zhou Lei didn’t come to Jiangcheng for Leng Rushuang.”
Liu Shitai sneered, “Did he come for you, then?”
Lin Yu smiled. “You guessed right.”
“You!” Liu Shitai turned angrily and glared at him. “I advise you to watch your tongue and not bring shame to the Liu family!”
Then he turned to Liu Wanyun: “Last night, the big shots of Jiangcheng all went to pay respects to Zhou Lei.”
“I also heard that Jiangcheng’s richest man, Li Dongkang, brought lavish gifts to meet him.”
“But unfortunately, the Li family is too small; they weren’t even allowed in.”
Lin Yu’s lips curled into a smile. Old Zhou’s reputation was quite formidable.
And that richest man, Li Dongkang, was the very man who had begged Lin Yu to save his wife at Old Mu’s place yesterday. Interesting indeed!
“Daughter,” Liu Shitai said again, “Though the Li family can’t compare with a giant like the Dongzhou Chamber, their influence in Jiangcheng remains significant.”
“You should try to make connections. If you win the Li family’s favor, our Liu Group’s business will surely advance.”
Liu Wanyun was eager. “Dad! I’ll do my best and won’t disappoint you!”
“Good!”
Then Liu Shitai brought up the female warrior again. “By the way, you haven’t told me how you met Leng Rushuang.”
Liu Wanyun felt numb—her father was pressing the very topic she wanted to avoid.
Lin Yu sat in the backseat, chuckling softly.
“Lin Yu, why are you laughing? Shut up!” Liu Wanyun, embarrassed and angry, slammed the accelerator to the floor.
Arriving at the company entrance, Liu Wanyun threw Lin Yu out of the car. “I don’t have time for you. Report to Group Two on your own!”
Lin Yu found it amusing. “Liu Wanyun really is ruthless.”
He then walked directly to the office of Project Group Two.
Upon entering, Lin Yu frowned slightly; the room was chaotic, filled with the smell of smoke and snacks.
Worse, the desk assigned to Lin Yu’s nameplate was piled high with trash.
A few young men and women, clearly second-generation rich kids, looked at Lin Yu with amused, disdainful expressions, as if to arrogantly give the newcomer a lesson.
Little did they know that this newcomer was a descended divine dragon.
