The Supreme Beauty Fell in Love with Me

Today, she would finally face the visage that often haunted her nightmares. Cold sweat had formed on Tang Yumeng's palms, and she was so excited she could barely speak. She couldn't help but grip tightly, her nails digging into Lin Chuan's arm.

Lin Chuan gently consoled her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

"Mm," Tang Yumeng's complexion had turned somewhat pale.

After so many years, she wondered if that devil had changed his appearance, her long-suppressed hatred about to erupt at this very moment.

It wasn't long before the receptionist came out, her smile beaming: "Sir, miss, President Hong invites you to come in."

"Let's go!" Lin Chuan took Tang Yumeng's hand and walked straight in.

Tang Yumeng nodded, her complexion returned to normal somewhat, and she walked in with her head held high and chest out.

The receptionist led the way, entering a common office area, a large cubicle space, where about fifty or sixty people were busily at work. It was apparent that the company was doing quite well.

Finally, the two stopped in front of the CEO's office.

"We can go in by ourselves," Lin Chuan said politely, smiling at the receptionist, "You don't need to trouble yourself."

"Okay," the receptionist nodded politely.

Afterward, the receptionist left leisurely.

Lin Chuan walked up to the office and knocked on the door.

"Come in," a deep voice came from inside.

Lin Chuan opened the door, then pushed it and walked in.

Tang Yumeng was frozen in place, hesitant to enter, so Lin Chuan gently took her hand and led her inside. Inside the room sat a middle-aged man of average build, the office luxurious, with a giant desk and a green potted plant arranged upon it. The man was dressed in a black suit, looking sharp.

Clearly, years had passed and he did not recognize Tang Yumeng.

"Who might you be?" Hong Chuan looked at them with a puzzled expression.

"It seems Master Hong may not remember us?" Lin Chuan stepped forward, gently closing the door, turning the lock behind him as he entered.

At this moment, Hong Chuan immediately sensed something was wrong, but after many years in the underworld, such a little thing wasn't enough to make him panic. Instead, he calmly said with a smile, "Sir, we have never met before, how could I recognize you?"

Lin Chuan, leading Tang Yumeng and smiling, said, "Of course you don't remember, as it's been many years. It's quite normal that you don't remember. It should be three, four years ago. You weren't the leader of Hong Gang then. Four years ago, you and your boss headed to the mainland for expansion, planned a gold shop robbery in Jiangbei City, and during your escape, you shot a young man, remember?"

"You!" Hong Chuan frowned deeply, evidently realizing the purpose of their visit.

"Yes, we have come for that matter," Lin Chuan said with a smile.

"Are you mainland police?" Hong Chuan asked sternly.

"No, no!" Lin Chuan shook his head and said, "How dare the mainland police meddle in Hong Gang's affairs."

"Then who the hell are you?!" Hong Chuan roared angrily.

"This lady here is the elder sister of that young man. The person your gun was aimed at was her," Lin Chuan's demeanor remained calm as if telling a story that had nothing to do with him. He lightly said with a smile, "After that, when you fired, it was her younger brother who blocked that fatal bullet for him. A life traded for a life."

"What do you want!" Hong Chuan sneered.

"Murder for a life, debts to be paid, these are the natural order of things," Lin Chuan spoke out.

"Just the two of you think you can kill me?" Hong Chuan asked sharply.

"Xiao Yu, is it him?" Lin Chuan asked.

"Yes!" Tang Yumeng held her breath; after four years, facing this devil again, she felt her whole body trembling. She could never forget that face—the disdainful smile when he fired the gun, a disrespect for life, an insult to life. Tang Yumeng dared not forget this face because she feared being unable to revenge Tang Hao. Her teeth clenched, body trembling, she said, "I could never forget it, Tang Hao's death is a constant pain in my heart. I dare not forget, and I must not forget, this face! It's him, I can guarantee it with my life!"

"That's right, it was me," Hong Chuan nodded, "Indeed, I fired the gun. We did it to create chaos to have a chance to escape."

"So, you treated human lives like grass," Lin Chuan asked.

"We had no choice," Hong Chuan smiled, then said, "Tell me, how much do you want for compensation? One million? Two million? Name your price, and if I can accept it, I will pay you!"

"Bastard!" Suddenly, Tang Yumeng exploded, like an enraged lioness, she screamed hysterically: "You bastard, can you measure a human life with money in your eyes?"

"Yes." Hong Chuan nodded, "Everything in my eyes can be measured with value. Including life!"

"Then tell me, how much is your life worth, I'll buy it!" Tang Yumeng roared.

Hong Chuan looked curiously at Tang Yumeng, and then laughed, "Little girl, don't be stupid."

"I will fight you to the end." Tang Yumeng finally unleashed all the repressed grievances, anger, and hysteria within her.

Tang Yumeng lifted the heavy green potted plant from the table and hurled it vigorously towards the other person. Hong Chuan dodged the attack of the potted plant.

Boom...

A loud crash sounded as the huge potted plant shattered violently, with fragments of ceramic and earth splashing all over. The sansevieria had broken apart completely.

"What are you trying to do?" Hong Chuan said angrily.

"To kill you!" Tang Yumeng roared like a lion.

"Don't make me do it!" Hong Chuan casually picked up a baseball bat.

With four years of suppressed rage, Tang Yumeng didn't care for her own life. She charged madly at Hong Chuan. Known as someone who wouldn't blink an eye when killing, Hong Chuan would have already attacked if they weren't in his office today. Finally, pressed by Tang Yumeng, he raised the baseball bat and swung it fiercely towards her.

Thump...

A muffled sound. Tang Yumeng almost instinctively hugged her own head.

However, Tang Yumeng did not feel the stick fall for a long time. When she opened her eyes, she realized Lin Chuan had blocked the blow with his back. Astonished, Tang Yumeng looked at Lin Chuan and said, "Lin Chuan... are you alright?"

"I'm fine," Lin Chuan shook his head and said, "I told you, I'll protect you!"

"Go to hell!" Hong Chuan roared furiously.

He swung the baseball bat in his hands once again, aiming a vicious blow towards Lin Chuan's head. That baseball bat was heavy, and with the force coming from Hong Chuan's arm, if it connected, Lin Chuan could have been left with a concussion if not killed outright. Moreover, Hong Chuan was battle-hardened and knew the brain's weak points very well; he might not know how to save a person, but he could easily kill one.

Lin Chuan's hand swung over.

Crack...

The hand instantly clamped onto Hong Chuan's wrist, causing him to feel waves of stabbing pain.

"Ah!" He screamed in pain, and the baseball bat immediately fell from his hand. He exclaimed in terror, "Brother, let's talk, let's talk."

"You even dare to hit a woman, you should die!" Lin Chuan gripped the other's arm, his voice cold.

"I was wrong, isn't that enough?" Hong Chuan begged pitifully.

"You made a mistake four years ago," Lin Chuan said with a smile, "You should thank God for letting you live four more years."

While speaking, Lin Chuan revealed a dagger, turned his head to look at Tang Yumeng, and said, "Sis, will you do it, or shall I?"

"Me!" Tang Yumeng stood up firmly, her teeth gritted as she said, "I will personally do it and kill this demon!"

"Good!" Lin Chuan did not stop her; instead, he handed the dagger to Tang Yumeng, saying, "When you kill, you must concentrate without any distractions. Stab forcefully into his heart. One stab is enough to be fatal."

With the dagger in both hands, Tang Yumeng's teeth were still gritted. Nevertheless, her hands continued to tremble immensely.

At that moment, Hong Chuan hurriedly said, "No, you can't kill me. If you kill me, you won't be able to leave this place."

"You needn't worry about that," Lin Chuan said with a cold laugh.

"No, save me, save me!" Hong Chuan began to shout loudly.

Bang...

Lin Chuan turned his fist into a palm and chopped down fiercely on the back of Hong Chuan's neck. With that palm strike, he immediately knocked out the other person. Hong Chuan collapsed limply to the ground. Luckily, the soundproofing in the office was good. None of the noise inside could be heard from the outside. Perhaps Hong Chuan had never imagined he would die here when he first built his office, otherwise, he would have made sure to perfect the soundproofing.

"Sis, go ahead," Lin Chuan said.

"But... I can't do it," Tang Yumeng shook her head forcefully.

"I'll help you." Lin Chuan took the dagger from Tang Yumeng's hands.

"No!" Tang Yumeng refused without hesitation, saying, "When Tang Hao died, I swore to him that I would take revenge with my own hands."

As she spoke, Tang Yumeng took the dagger and slowly walked over.

Hong Chuan was already lying on the ground, unconscious.

A murderous look flashed in Tang Yumeng's eyes, and a ferocious expression appeared on her face. Clenching her teeth, she finally bit down hard and stabbed the dagger fiercely into Hong Chuan's chest.

Pu-chi...

A large amount of fresh blood surged out.

"Ah!" Suddenly, Hong Chuan woke up in shock.

Lin Chuan took a quick step forward, stepping on his chest. Hong Chuan tried to struggle, but Lin Chuan covered his mouth with his hand. Hong Chuan's hands clutched Lin Chuan's leg, attempting to push him off, but the more he struggled, the closer death approached.
