Chapter 107: Chapter 107 Heartless

Upon hearing Chu Zhongtian’s words, Han Qiaoqiao froze, her beautiful eyes staring blankly at him. Chu Zhongtian didn’t say a word, simply sitting there in silence. For a moment, time seemed to stand still.

After a good ten minutes, Han Qiaoqiao finally came to her senses, her face flushed red with anger.

“Have you figured it out?” Chu Zhongtian asked indifferently, noting her expression.

“I understand,” Han Qiaoqiao said, her eyes filled with barely concealed rage.

“Since you understand, don’t be fooled again. As for you dealing with Lin Kuang, or rather, using my influence to deal with him, I don’t care. But when you decided to go after him, did you investigate his background?

“I can tell you very clearly, this Lin Kuang is no ordinary person. If you push him into a corner, he’d dare to kill someone right here in the club,” Chu Zhongtian said again, his calm tone holding a strange undertone.

Hearing his words, Han Qiaoqiao’s expression faltered, her eyes wide with shock.

“Young… Young Master Chu, are you saying that guy would dare to kill someone at the club?” Han Qiaoqiao asked incredulously.

“Yes. And no one in the club could stop him, including me. Otherwise, do you think I would have let him go?” Chu Zhongtian said flatly.

“Then, what do we do? Just let him get away with it? We do nothing?” Han Qiaoqiao asked, unwilling to let it go.

“Of course not. We’ll deal with him, naturally, just not here. There are too many eyes and ears, and it wouldn’t be good for my reputation. You need to understand, I only came to East Sea to burnish my reputation. I want to build a good name for myself. I have no intention of getting my hands dirty over the affairs here, understand?” Chu Zhongtian said.

Hearing this, Han Qiaoqiao nodded in comprehension. “I understand, Young Master Chu.”

“Good. Furthermore, since Ye Tiannan wants to use someone else to do his dirty work, you can turn the tables and use him to deal with Lin Kuang. I’ll have someone investigate his background tomorrow before we make a move. For now, let’s just let Ye Tiannan take the lead and see how things develop,” Chu Zhongtian said, his tone exceptionally calm.

Hearing this, Han Qiaoqiao nodded obediently. “Alright, I understand, Young Master Chu.”

“Hmm, come here. This young master has been missing your little mouth.” As he spoke, Chu Zhongtian’s gaze fell upon Han Qiaoqiao.

She gave a flirtatious nod, knelt before him, and began to do what she did so well. Gradually, an expression of enjoyment appeared in Chu Zhongtian’s eyes.

Watching Han Qiaoqiao working diligently before him, a complex look entered his eyes. He murmured to himself, his gaze resting quietly on her, If only you were really her. How wonderful would that be?

「Meanwhile, in a private room on the third floor.」

Ye Tiannan’s face was somber as Liu Dong attended to him carefully.

“Young Master Ye, since Chu Zhongtian didn’t make a move, should our men in ambush still take action?” Liu Dong asked cautiously.

“Take action! Liu Shilin has no status or background; she’s just the boss of a small company. And while the Lin Family behind Lin Guo’er has some influence, they’re merely merchants! The relationship between those three women and Lin Kuang doesn’t seem simple. As long as we capture them, Lin Kuang will have no choice but to comply! Besides, even if the Lin Family finds out I was behind this, they won’t dare to do anything. The most they can do is be furious,” Ye Tiannan said with a grim expression.

“Alright, I’ll have my men do it immediately,” Liu Dong quickly agreed.

“Wait. Tell the men that regardless of success or failure, they are not to reveal our identities. Otherwise, I’ll kill them!” Ye Tiannan said viciously. He was worried that if the matter was exposed, Lin Kuang would come after him.

“Okay, I understand, Young Master Ye.” With that, Liu Dong ordered his men to start preparing. However, they couldn’t act just yet. It wasn’t dark, and making a move in broad daylight would be far too blatant.

「Elsewhere.」

Lin Kuang, Lin Guo’er, Liu Shilin, and the Witch had already moved to another restaurant. Although it wasn’t as high-end as the Xiangya Club, it was still one of the top establishments in East Sea.

The four of them settled in, and the Witch began to order. Among them, only she and Lin Kuang were unaffected by what had happened. Lin Kuang simply didn’t care, and the Witch… well, she probably didn’t have a care in the world.

But it was different for Lin Guo’er and Liu Shilin. They were both well aware of the kind of status Chu Zhongtian held in East Sea.

After the food was ordered, Lin Guo’er’s beautiful eyes, full of worry, fell on Lin Kuang.

“Lin Kuang, I’m afraid you’re in trouble,” Lin Guo’er said weakly. Faced with Chu Zhongtian, even her Lin Family felt a profound sense of powerlessness.

“Oh? Why? Because of that Chu Zhongtian?” Lin Kuang asked with a smile, seeing her helpless demeanor.

Lin Guo’er nodded helplessly. “Yes, because of him. I’m afraid he won’t let you off so easily.”

“Is that so? It doesn’t matter. Trust me, I’ll be fine,” Lin Kuang said casually, seemingly unconcerned about Chu Zhongtian’s status.

Seeing his completely unconcerned expression, Lin Guo’er was at a loss for words. Does this guy even know the meaning of fear?

“Lin Kuang, why don’t you go into hiding for a while?” Liu Shilin chimed in, her face etched with worry. “He’s a person of real power in East Sea. If you offend him, you’ll likely face endless trouble.”

“Come on, it’s fine. When I say it’s nothing, it’s nothing. Let’s eat before we ruin our appetites.” With that, Lin Kuang laughed carelessly.

Seeing this, Lin Guo’er and Liu Shilin were exasperated. How can he still be in the mood to eat at a time like this? Perhaps only a freak like Lin Kuang could be so lighthearted. Although the two women were very worried, they didn’t know what else to say in the face of his utter indifference.

After a tense meal, Lin Guo’er finally parted ways with Lin Kuang and the others. As she was leaving, she warned Lin Kuang again, but he was his usual self, frustrating her so much that she stomped her foot in anger.

Lin Kuang drove, taking Liu Shilin and the Witch toward the Liu Family’s villa. Along the way, the atmosphere in the car was tense. Liu Shilin was deeply worried.

“Come on, Sis, don’t worry about this jerk,” the Witch said with a smile, noticing Liu Shilin’s somber expression. “Don’t you know the saying? The good die young, but a scourge like him will last a thousand years. A guy like that doesn’t die so easily.”
