Chapter 117: Chapter 117, Boss (1st Update!)
"Wang Hu, do you know what I've been up to?"
Lin Yun turned around, looking at Brother Tiger crouched on the ground, and asked coldly.
He didn't believe that the mere fact that he had twice fought off the men sent by Brother Tiger would instill such fear.
Wang Hu, that was Brother Tiger's name.
Lin Yun had already looked up his opponent's information, but hadn't bothered to confront him yet. He wasn't worried that the guy would escape. In the digital age, aided by his computer skills and the super-brain, Tiger would have to hide in a desolate, network-less place to evade him.
"I... I..." Upon hearing Lin Yun call his name, Brother Tiger began to sweat profusely, his fear intensifying.
Being part of the underworld, only a few people knew their real names for safety reasons, and not many people knew the name Wang Hu. If Lin Yun knew it, it meant Lin Yun must have investigated him, and he'd probably have to deal with him soon.
"Sorry, Young Master Lin, I shouldn't have sent someone to investigate your information. I deserve to die... I... I know that Qingyun power banks are yours. The Qingyun Hotel and the Qingyun Restaurant—those are yours too. Someone gave you trouble some time ago, and now..." Wang Hu stammered out, shaking.
At that moment, he didn't dare to hide a thing.
"The Qingyun power banks belong to Lin Yun? And the Qingyun Hotel and Qingyun Restaurant, too?"
Many people exclaimed in surprise.
The Qingyun power banks have strong data, and many students at Shen University use them, so they knew about them.
The Qingyun Hotel and the Qingyun Restaurant were both known for their exorbitant prices, especially the restaurant, where the most expensive wine costs millions per bottle. It had already been talked about in the news, so many people knew about it.
At that moment, they remembered what Jiang Yufeng had mentioned earlier.
Xia Qingqing often frequented the upscale Qingyun Hotel and Qingyun Restaurant.
If the Qingyun Hotel and Qingyun Restaurant belonged to Lin Yun and Xia Qingqing was Lin Yun's girlfriend, then her frequent visits to those places seemed quite reasonable.
"Qingyun... Xia Qingqing... Lin Yun... Could it be that this brand was named after the two of them? The Qingyun power banks, Qingyun Hotel, and Qingyun Restaurant are all recent establishments... If that's true, Xia Qingqing is so fortunate..."
Some of the girls looked at Xia Qingqing enviously.
Other girls looked at Lin Yun with stars in their eyes, finding his handsomeness increasingly appealing.
"How could we have been so foolish earlier, thinking he was just some poor boy from the countryside..."
"It seems Xia Qingqing has good taste..."
The girls sighed to themselves.
"Since you're aware of the troubles I had some time ago, it makes things easier," Lin Yun said, interrupting Wang Hu without caring about everyone's thoughts.
So, Wang Hu had heard about the Wang Wenchang incident. It explained his reactions and Lin Yun's intentional decision to let Wang Hu swallow the Ten-Day Divine Severing Pill.
"I don't care how you do it, but within three days, you better make that Jiang Yufeng, who just left, look like the man who troubled me a while ago. I'll let you off, or else, you might as well end up like him. You can defy me, you can leave this place if you believe you can escape," Lin Yun said calmly.
"This..." Wang Hu shuddered.
He understood what Lin Yun meant.
"The man who troubled me some time ago" simply referred to the state Wang Wenchang was in.
However, Jiang Yufeng was the son of a prominent business group. Lin Yun was boldly asking in front of so many people to make Jiang Yufeng look like that. Would the Jiang Group let him off the hook if he did it?
The Jiang Group might not possess much power in the underworld, but they had money. If they were provoked, they could cause real damage.
But then he thought, Lin Yun was brazenly making this request in front of a crowd. If he didn't follow Lin Yun's orders, Lin Yun might enforce his threat. Wang Wenchang's current state would be his fate too.
With that, a chill ran down his spine.
He didn't dare to gamble on the notion that he could escape Lin Yun's reach after leaving.
Also, he wasn't willing to abandon Shen City, a place he had fought hard to conquer over the years.
"What, you're not willing?" Lin Yun asked, his tone icy.
"No, no, I'm willing, I am," Wang Hu hurriedly replied.
"Alright, you can leave. Just make sure I don't learn of any more attempts to challenge me, or you won't be so lucky next time," Lin Yun said with a slight nod.
"Yes, yes, thank you, Young Master Lin, thank you..." Wang Hu quickly got up from the ground and expressed his gratitude.
Following this, Wang Hu, along with his men, scrambled and rolled to leave in haste.
"Buzz—buzz—buzz—"
Just then, a line of cars drove up quickly and stopped outside. There were over twenty of them.
All of them were luxury vehicles from the Di Ling and Jian Tiger lines, each one costing at least one million.
The sight of over twenty cars stopping simultaneously was quite imposing.
"Di Ling X8! Di Ling X9! There's so many of them!"
"Jian Tiger A6! Jian Tiger A8!"
"Wow—"
"They're all luxury cars!"
"So many luxury cars all at once!"
Many students gasped in astonishment at the sight.
At that moment, two to three men dressed in black suits and sunglasses stepped out from each car, looking much like bodyguards from a movie.
And indeed, they were bodyguards.
Lin Yun had earlier sent messages via the Cosmic Trading System to have as many bodyguards as possible drive over.
After all, he was just a young man in his early twenties.
After having been scorned earlier, who wouldn't want to regain some dignity?
Fortunately, the bodyguards he'd hired from the Gold Sword Security Company and the high-end cars he'd ordered from Little White Car Dealership had mostly arrived. Without affecting other security operations, it was relatively easy to have so many bodyguards come over.
Over twenty cars and nearly sixty men in black suits quickly moved towards the hall.
Seeing this, Wang Hu, who was just at the entrance of the hall, changed color and hurriedly brought his men back as if facing a great enemy. He feared the men were from other gangs looking for trouble.
He inwardly cursed his luck.
With their imposing presence, these men must be highly skilled, and their group of over twenty was no match for the other group of about sixty.
Realizing this, he quickly turned to look at Lin Yun.
At this moment, perhaps only Lin Yun could help them.
He knew that Lin Yun always had bodyguards hidden nearby and that Lin Yun himself was extremely skilled. Even with just two or three bodyguards, along with Lin Yun, they could handle these people.
"Boss!"
"Boss!"
Unexpectedly, just as he turned his head, loud voices from behind caught his attention. Those men in black suits had already stopped.
If he'd heard correctly, that loud chorus of voices was directed at Lin Yun.
