Stunning Dragon Wife

"What, Yanran, do you know him?"

Everyone in the Lin family looked at Lin Yanran.

Lin Yanran hesitated for a moment, then started speaking haltingly.

"Zhang, Zhang Xiaoshan is the one who helped my grandpa find the Red Sun Grass."

"It's him!"

Everyone in the Lin family was startled.

Third Uncle Lin Haitang of the Lin family always wanted an opportunity to target the main branch of Lin Yanran, and he immediately lashed out.

"Yanran, I always knew you and Lin Rui were at odds. This time, are you in cahoots with this kid to make Lin Rui look bad on purpose?"

"If that's really the case, then as your Third Uncle, I have to remind you. Your issues with Lin Rui are personal, but if you collude with outsiders, that becomes a major taboo."

Lin Haitang's words were like adding fuel to the fire.

Lin Rui's mother, who was originally kneeling on the ground, immediately pointed at Lin Yanran and cursed angrily.

"You little witch, I've known you were trouble from the start. Your whole family, truly ruthless, teaming up with outsiders to bully my son. I'll fight you!"

Saying this, Lin Rui's mother stood up and tried to tear at Lin Yanran.

"Enough."

As the scene descended into chaos, the Family Head, Lin Xingyuan, slammed the dragon-headed cane he held onto the ground, intimidating everyone, and the chaotic scene instantly quieted down.

"I'm not dead yet, anyone who dares to act recklessly, don't blame me for being rude."

"But, Dad, Xiao Rui is still in their hands, what should we do."

Lin Rui's father said worriedly.

Lin Xingyuan's expression was stern at this moment, silent and seemed to be contemplating a strategy.

Third Son Lin Haitang said.

"This Xiao Rui is not promising, but he's the only male descendant of our Lin family in this generation. If something happens to him, our family line will be broken."

"My suggestion is to take people and rescue Xiao Rui."

Lin Yanran's father was timid and said nothing.

Gritting his teeth, Lin Rui's father said.

"I agree with Third Brother's opinion. Our Lin family is not only a prominent family in Xijing but also a leader in Yanxia's pharmaceutical industry. If we suffer such humiliation and don't demand an explanation, how can our Lin family maintain its reputation in Xijing and the pharmaceutical industry?"

"I disagree."

Ignoring her father's objection, Lin Yanran stood up and argued her point.

"Elder Zhou explained quite clearly earlier, the White Dragon Pharmaceutical Factory came to collect debts, it was Lin Rui who broke the contract first, and we've delayed the payment for several years, haven't we? We're already in the wrong, Lin Rui even hit their factory director, we're absolutely not in the right. My opinion is to pay four million in payment to redeem Lin Rui."

"Besides, if Zhang Xiaoshan hadn't found the Red Sun Grass, how could grandpa's health have recovered? If we get into a conflict with Zhang Xiaoshan, wouldn't that be repaying kindness with enmity?"

"Nonsense."

Lin Rui's father Lin Laoer roared.

"My son suffered inhumane torture, and here you are pretending to be a good person."

"That kid may have found the Red Sun Grass, but that was just a transaction. We already paid him a sum of money — we're not indebted to each other anymore."

"Furthermore, if the news of our Lin's Pharmaceutical's breach of contract spreads, how will we stand in the business world in the future?"

Lin Haitang interjected.

"Dad, I think my Second Brother is right, several million might be nothing to our Lin family, but if we really give that kid this money, it would mean admitting to the outsiders that we really don't settle our debts — isn't that just slapping ourselves in the face?"

"In business, especially in the pharmaceutical industry, reputation and credibility are key. If this matter gets out, our Lin family's hundred-year reputation will be utterly destroyed."

"So, I think it's better to act recklessly than admit we owe them four million in payments, just say that kid deliberately provoked, kidnap and extort, and take people to bring down that kid."

"No, we can't do such underhanded things, it's against our conscience."

Lin Yanran stated firmly.

"Enough."

Finally coming to a decision after weighing the pros and cons, Family Head Lin Xingyuan spoke.

"Yanran, it's not that grandpa doesn't understand your reasoning, but we must think long-term in our actions. This matter is as it is, there's no turning back once the bowstring is drawn, even if it's wrong, we must go ahead."

"Your Third Uncle and Second Uncle are right, no matter what, our Lin family's reputation must not be ruined. Our family can't afford this disgrace."

"Old Third, gather all the family's guards, we're going to the hotel."

"Yes, I'll take care of it immediately."

Lin Haitang left enthusiastically.

"Grandpa, I..."

"Silence."

Lin Yanran tried to argue further but was interrupted by Lin Haiyuan's angry shout.

"This matter concerns our Lin family's hundred-year reputation, if you dare say another word, I will immediately remove you as the Sales Director and expel you from the family."

"I..."

"Enough, Yanran, stop talking."

Her parents held Lin Yanran on both sides.

"Old, Old Head, that kid is a Martial Artist, exceptionally formidable, ordinary guards and bodyguards are likely no match for him, we should be cautious."

Elder Zhou, who came to report, spoke cautiously, trembling, clearly showing that what occurred in the hotel room had left a shadow on him.

"Martial Artist?"

Lin Xingyuan furrowed his brow.

"This is somewhat troublesome."

"Dad, why don't I invite Tang Beidou from Xijing Martial Arts School? No matter how fierce that kid is, he can't be a match for our Tang Beidou."

Lin Laoer proposed.

Lin Xingyuan nodded.

"OK, go in person, bring ample gifts, and say there's a substantial reward after the task is completed."

"Alright."

"Prepare the car, I'm going to the hotel now to see what kind of person that kid is, and why he's so arrogant."

Lin Xingyuan stormed off.

The rest of the Lin family quickly followed.

In the car, seated in the passenger seat, Lin Yanran carefully glanced back, then quickly opened WeChat and sent a message to Zhang Xiaoshan.

"Run quick, my grandpa's personally on the move and has brought an expert."

...

Inside the hotel, Zhang Xiaoshan, upon receiving the message, smiled lightly.

"Wouldn't this count as elbow out of bounds, warning me without fear of your grandpa finding out? My goodness, you're not really interested in me, are you?"

Lin Yanran's pretty face blushed in the car.

"At a time like this, you still have the mood for jokes? You need to leave quickly."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. For your sake, I'll try not to kill your grandpa tonight."

After sending the message, Zhang Xiaoshan placed his phone in his pocket.

"You rotten kid, just wait. When my grandpa arrives, he won't spare you."

Lin Rui shrunk in the corner, venomously cursing Zhang Xiaoshan.

Ten minutes later, the box room door was pushed open, and a group of people rushed in anxiously.

The Lin family had arrived.
