Volume One, Chapter Six: Heartbeat
“Get lost!”
Lin Yu’s words instantly left Leng Rushuang and the other two in an awkward silence.
At that moment, they deeply felt the contempt Lin Yu harbored for them in his heart!
All those wishes, all that talk of the War Goddess of Jiang City—Lin Yu simply didn’t care!
Leng Rushuang’s beautiful eyes blazed with anger and unwillingness. “Lin Yu, I think you’re all talk and no substance!”
A slight smirk played on Lin Yu’s lips, tinged with amusement. “If you accompany me for a meal, I might consider showing you my strengths!”
Leng Rushuang’s face flushed red instantly.
The beautiful adjutant could no longer hold back and harshly scolded Lin Yu, “Disgusting! Shameless!”
“Enough!”
A trace of contempt flickered in Leng Rushuang’s eyes.
“He’s nothing but a rustic country bumpkin, inexperienced and narrow-minded. You needn’t waste time quarreling with a nobody like him!”
“Lin Yu, my visit this time was purely by chance.”
“Soon, I will join the soldiers of the Jiang City war zone to hunt down the Bloodthirsty Maniac!”
“Perhaps, we shall never meet again in this lifetime—after all, we live in different worlds!”
With that, Leng Rushuang turned to leave.
Lin Yu watched her retreating figure and sneered coldly. “Just now, I saw your forehead darken and your expression turn grim—that’s a dire omen!”
Leng Rushuang paused, her jade-like feet halting. If your anger didn’t cause the darkening and gloom, then what else?
She glanced down at her proud bosom and instantly flushed crimson with anger!
A dire omen?
“Lin Yu, you’re nothing but a shameless scoundrel!”
Lin Yu didn’t even glance her way. “Weren’t you just saying you wanted to make amends? Well, in light of my breaking off the engagement with you, I’ll make a little compensation.”
“Listen well: the Bloodthirsty Maniac has an old injury on his left chest. If you can’t defeat him, try to exploit that old wound—it’ll catch him off guard.”
Leng Rushuang and her two companions exchanged glances, clearly dismissing Lin Yu as insignificant.
They slid into their car and sped away in a cloud of dust!
Inside the vehicle, the beautiful adjutant kept babbling.
“A bumpkin, arrogant and conceited, yet he dares claim acquaintance with high-ranking war officials—what a shameless liar!”
“Hmph.”
Leng Rushuang sneered disdainfully. “He’s merely comforting himself.”
“Just wait, he’ll come begging me one day, pleading for compensation after I break the engagement!”
At that moment, Lin Yu received a call.
It was from his fiancée, Liu Wanyun!
“Lin Yu, my grandfather told me to bring some friends to meet you tonight. Are you brave enough to come? I’ve sent you the address via WeChat!”
Liu Wanyun’s tone was full of provocation!
Hearing this, Lin Yu couldn’t help but laugh aloud!
Clearly, Miss Liu was setting a trap for him tonight.
A night of indulgence—wine, beauty, and seduction.
A classic honey trap.
Lin Yu immediately caught on to Liu Wanyun’s scheme. “Why would I be afraid? I’m just worried you can’t handle me. See you in an hour!”
Liu Wanyun didn’t expect Lin Yu to agree so readily.
“Ha! Didn’t think you had some guts!”
“Remember, if you don’t show up, you’re a coward!”
After hanging up, Liu Wanyun immediately high-fived her beautiful girlfriends.
“Lin Yu, that lecher, has taken the bait!”
The girlfriends burst into laughter. “Perfect! With our looks, Lin Yu will surely fall into the beauty trap and then be kicked out of the Liu family!”
“Wanyun, you’ll soon be free!”
Liu Wanyun’s striking face radiated excitement and anticipation.
“Lin Yu, let’s see how you die tonight!”
Meanwhile, Lin Yu turned to Zhou Lei. “I need a few things.”
…
At night, a sleek supercar gleaming with futuristic design and roaring with a high-performance engine pulled into the open-air parking lot of an elegant winery.
The car’s lines were smooth, a perfect fusion of cutting-edge technology and artistic aesthetics, its unique emblem immediately drawing everyone’s attention!
Most patrons inside the winery came from local second- or third-tier families.
Though many owned luxury cars, their price tags rarely exceeded a few million yuan.
Compared to this forty-million-yuan supercar, they were in entirely different leagues!
In truth, they couldn’t afford such a car, only able to feast their eyes on it at auto shows.
“Who is this wealthy scion gracing our city tonight?”
Most guests eagerly flocked outside.
Even customers from neighboring shops could not contain their curiosity, craning their necks to catch a glimpse.
Everyone wanted to see the identity of the man who could command such a dazzling ride!
Sure enough, Liu Wanyun and a group of alluring women watched eagerly!
As the supercar’s specially designed doors opened with a distinctive sound, a tall man dressed in a deep crimson bespoke suit, standing at least six feet tall, gracefully stepped out!
“Wow! That man is incredibly handsome!”
“Such a perfect figure, such stunning features—he outshines any top international model by miles!”
The women’s eyes sparkled, their breaths quickened, as if struck by lightning.
The men watched with envy and jealousy.
Why could this man look so devastatingly handsome?
However—
When Liu Wanyun caught a clear view of the man’s face, she was dumbfounded!
“Is it him? How is that possible?”
Because the charming gentleman stepping out of the supercar was none other than Lin Yu!
Liu Wanyun’s face was filled with disbelief.
At noon, Lin Yu had worn cheap, simple clothes, as if he could hardly afford decent garments!
Yet now—
Lin Yu seemed transformed, his aura drastically changed!
His eyes shone with confidence and wisdom, as if he were the master of this world!
“So he has such a stunning side after all!”
Liu Wanyun’s thoughts were in turmoil, a wave of inexplicable nervousness washing over her!
Lin Yu emerged from the supercar, elegantly producing a handcrafted cigar.
Click!
He then lit it with a luxurious golden lighter.
This simple act of lighting a cigar revealed the unique charm and demeanor of a successful man!
His girlfriends’ eyes gleamed brightly as they tightly grasped Liu Wanyun’s delicate arm, their legs instinctively pressing together!
Yet Liu Wanyun’s heart was filled with conflicting emotions.
She didn’t know how to tell her girlfriends that the devastatingly handsome man before them was the very target they intended to trap tonight!
“Please follow me!”
The winery manager hurried over with two beautiful waitresses to greet him.
They dared not show the slightest neglect.
After all, the handsome man driving a forty-million-yuan supercar was clearly no ordinary person!
“Welcome, sir. I’m the manager here. Have you reserved a table?”
Lin Yu smiled. “I’m here to see someone. She’s over there!”
With that, Lin Yu walked directly toward Liu Wanyun with a radiant smile.
His action immediately captured everyone’s attention!
The girlfriends were extremely nervous!
But Liu Wanyun’s mood grew ever more complicated, unable to meet Lin Yu’s gaze!
“I’m here!”
Lin Yu arrived before Liu Wanyun.
His smile was warm as a spring breeze, intoxicating and disarming!
Liu Wanyun felt her heart race uncontrollably under the weight of his charm and handsomeness!
