Chapter 166: Picking up a Dead Drunk at the Bar
Yet when the bodyguards opened the black briefcase, they were stunned.
Originally, they thought it contained something like a time bomb.
Instead, it was filled with a thick stack of cash and a work card.
The crisis was averted.
With high heels clicking rapidly, Su Wanqiao stepped forward to have a look at the contents of the briefcase… Her beautiful eyes hardened.
There were hundreds of thousands in cash, along with a work ID inside.
On the work card, there was unmistakably Lin Shuang's photo.
The hundreds of thousands in cash were Lin Shuang's earnings over the past few months, including salary and commission.
Had he returned all his earnings to Su Wanqiao?
Did this mean they were even now?
For some reason, upon seeing the cash... Su Wanqiao's pretty face took on a complex expression, and her heart felt somewhat heavy.
With trouble evident in her eyes, she dismissed the bodyguards and then handed over the cash to the finance department.
The relationship with Lin Shuang, it seemed, was truly over.
That day, her sister Su Zhiyan also did not come to work at the company.
The relationship between the sisters was utterly broken.
In the afternoon, Su Wanqiao invested hundreds of millions… to procure a retired special forces team at great cost.
This team… its code name: Falcon Group!
The team had a total of twenty members, each one of them among the top retired special forces from Yanxia.
All these members were of special forces origin with exceptional skills, which is why their protection fees were incredibly high.
Twenty people, each with an annual salary amounting to tens of millions.
Twenty people together totaled a yearly salary of two billion.
It was imaginable, Su Wanqiao had truly spared no expense to ensure her own safety.
Once the Falcon Group arrived at the company, they quickly completed the onboarding procedures.
That day, Su Zhiyan kept calling Lin Shuang but couldn't reach him.
Chu Ruohuang hadn't seen Lin Shuang all day either. She called him and sent WeChat messages asking where he had gone, but Lin Shuang did not reply.
Chu Ruohuang learned through the Su Group's intelligence that Lin Shuang had processed his resignation that day.
Chu Ruohuang hastily reported the situation to her superior, Chen Bu'e, stating Lin Shuang had resigned.
Over the phone, her superior, Chen Bu'e Wu Shuai, felt a sense of relief upon hearing the news! Was this Pluto finally leaving Jiangnan?
Chen Bu'e ordered Chu Ruohuang to continue to stay in Jiangnan and monitor the situation for a few more days. Once it was confirmed that Pluto had truly left Yanxia, then Chu Ruohuang's mission would be complete, and she could return to the Imperial Capital.
On the same day, when Ren Kexin learned of Lin Shuang's resignation, she was also very anxious. She had merely intended to suppress Lin Shuang a bit.
But who would have thought she'd actually drive the man away?
Ren Kexin panicked a bit, and hurriedly called Lin Shuang, but he had already blocked her number.
WeChat was blocked as well.
This caused Ren Kexin's pretty face to turn pale, her heart sinking to the bottom. Had she taken her joke too far?
...
Late at night, Huhai.
The nightlife of this magical city had just begun.
NO1 Bar of the magic city.
Lin Shuang sat in a corner booth, dressed in a worn leather jacket, drinking alone.
His debts of gratitude with Su Wanqiao were now settled.
Taking advantage of the free night, Lin Shuang drank sullenly alone in the bar.
He had taken Grandma Xu back to the rental unit and was taking care of her himself.
He was still searching for new medical facilities, quite annoyed, and after finding a better medical institution out of the province, he intended to leave Huhai with Grandma Xu.
Just then, suddenly, a woman's voice came from behind Lin Shuang.
"Is it interesting to hide here drinking all by yourself?"
Lin Shuang turned his head to look. Standing behind him was none other than Ren Kexin.
She wore a seductive black chiffon dress, high heels with slim straps, her hair draped over her shoulders, stunning and enticing.
"How did you find this place?" Lin Shuang asked.
Ren Kexin, holding her glass, slowly sat down and said, "You must be in a bad mood since you just resigned. If you hadn't left Jiangnan, you'd definitely be at a bar. I inquired about the entire Huhai nightlife intelligence and paid quite a bit of money to find your whereabouts."
"What do you want with me? I have already resigned," Lin Shuang said coldly.
Ren Kexin spoke firmly, "How about you become my man, and I'll take care of you? I have over thirty billion in cash at my disposal, and I'm willing to support you. From now on, you'll call the shots at home."
Lin Shuang flatly refused, "Not interested."
With that, he stood up and walked away. Ren Kexin tried to hold onto him but was swiftly shaken off by Lin Shuang.
Lin Shuang left the bar alone.
Leaving only Ren Kexin sitting dazed in the booth.
Her eyes became red and moist; had she already made herself this clear and Lin Shuang still despised her that much?
Ren Kexin drank heavily, getting thoroughly drunk.
And at that moment, her drunken yet stunning appearance… caught the attention of some thugs in black at the bar.
The two thugs stepped forward and forcibly abducted Ren Kexin, taking her outside the bar...
They were planning to pick up an intoxicated woman.
Ren Kexin struggled... as three men in black took her out of the bar.
"Isn't it shameful for several men to bully a woman?" Just then, from the corner of the bar's entrance, suddenly came a shout.
With her head groggy from drunkenness, Ren Kexin looked up to see Lin Shuang leaning against the corner at the entrance of the bar, smoking a cigarette alone.
Anxiously, Ren Kexin shouted, "Lin Shuang... save me..."
