Dabolang felt extremely bitter at this moment. He knew that he had made a mistake this time. This seemingly ordinary young man turned out to be a big boss that even Qian Zijie was afraid of. His previous contempt and disdain turned into fear and regret at this moment.

Qian Zijie hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Mr. Lin, do you think... can I take my useless brother away? He is seriously injured and needs to be sent to the hospital immediately." He pointed at Qian Zihao who was lying on the ground twitching, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

Lin Beichen nodded, "It's right to send her to the hospital, but..." He changed the subject and looked at Qian Zijie, "Your brother wasn't very friendly to this girl just now, shouldn't he give her some compensation?"

Everyone was stunned when this was said. Qian Zihao had been beaten like this, and he still had to pay compensation? Isn't this a bit too much? However, Qian Zijie just frowned and asked with a stiff upper lip: "Then...Mr. Lin, how much compensation do you think is appropriate?"

Lin Beichen thought for a moment and held up a finger, "Ten million." As soon as this number came out, everyone gasped. Ten million? This is simply an astronomical figure! Dabolang and others thought Lin Beichen was crazy. How could he agree to such a request?

However, to everyone's surprise, Qian Zijie hesitated for only a moment before gritting his teeth and agreeing, "Okay, 10 million. Young Master Lin, give me your card number and I'll have someone transfer the money right away."

Everyone was extremely shocked, looking at Qian Zijie as if he were a monster. They really couldn't understand why Qian Zijie would so easily agree to such an outrageous request. Could it be that Lin Beichen's background was really so terrifying?

Chen Yuanyuan was also stunned at this time. She pulled Lin Beichen's sleeve and whispered, "Is it too much? Why don't we just forget it?" She was worried that Qian Zijie would turn against her because of this, and the consequences would be disastrous.

However, Lin Beichen just glanced at her and said calmly, "It's okay, how dare he not give it to me?" Then he urged Chen Yuanyuan to give the card number to Qian Zijie. Chen Yuanyuan had no choice but to do it, but she was secretly shocked in her heart.

Qian Zijie quickly had someone transfer 10 million to Chen Yuanyuan's card, and then left in a hurry with his men, as if something bad would happen if they stayed any longer. Only left behind a crowd of stunned people, and the happy Chen Yuanyuan and Lin Beichen.

Qian Zijie glanced at Chen Feng coldly, his eyes full of disdain and disgust. He nodded slightly, as if confirming his inner judgment, and then said in a tone that was almost icy: "Companies in Hong Kong have always been a model of abiding by the rules and committed to maintaining public order and good customs. For a person like you with such bad conduct, once your actions are exposed, I believe no company will be willing to continue to take you in."

These words hit Chen Feng's heart like a heavy hammer. He stared at Qian Zijie with wide eyes and horror, as if he saw the end of his life coming. He shouted at the top of his lungs: "Mr. Qian, you can't do this to me! I have paid for the Qian family, and I have even been to jail for the Qian family!"

However, Qian Zijie turned a deaf ear to his pleas. He glanced coldly at his men who were watching, and ordered in an unquestionable tone: "What are you still standing there for? Get this guy who is talking nonsense out of here!" When Chen Feng was dragged away, his desperate screams echoed in the air, making people's hearts tremble.

Qian Zijie watched Chen Feng being dragged away, with a smug smile on his face. He turned to Lin Beichen, bowed and said, "Mr. Lin, I have something else to do at home, so I have to leave first. Don't worry about the 10 million. I will transfer it to Miss Chen as soon as I have the funds." After that, he left in a hurry.

Lin Beichen looked at Qian Zijie's departing back, with a playful smile on his face. He got back into the BMW and honked the horn a few times. Chen Yuanyuan trotted into the car, with a shy blush on her face. However, Lin Beichen's next words stunned her.

"Chen Yuanyuan, although I helped you and got you 10 million in compensation, please don't get me wrong. I don't have any special feelings for you." Lin Beichen's tone was calm and indifferent. "I'm a picky person. Girls like you are not my type."

The smile on Chen Yuanyuan's face froze instantly. She stared at Lin Beichen with wide eyes, as if she couldn't believe her ears. The little thoughts in her heart were ruthlessly exposed by Lin Beichen, which made her feel extremely ashamed and angry. She slammed the armrest, pointed at the car door and shouted: "Get out!"

Lin Beichen looked at Chen Yuanyuan's angry back and couldn't help curling his lips. He had a worse impression of this little gangster girl, thinking that she was not only ungrateful, but also ungrateful. He shook his head and walked back to the hotel.

At this time, the sky outside the window had darkened, and the atmosphere of impending storm made people feel a little depressed. Lin Beichen borrowed a coat and put it on. Just as he was about to go back to his room to rest, he saw Liehuo running in hurriedly.

"What's wrong?" Lin Beichen asked. Liehuo panted and said, "There is indeed something wrong with the kidnapper! They took a new type of drug, which is colorless and odorless and cannot be detected by conventional means. If they hadn't suddenly fallen ill in prison, we might still be kept in the dark."

This news shocked and made Lin Beichen and Bison feel serious. They realized that this matter was not simple and might involve bigger problems.

Xia Luyao and others also arrived one after another. After some discussion, they decided to take over the case temporarily for investigation. Although they were still on vacation, as responsible soldiers, they could not ignore the matter. However, Xia Luyao's application was not approved in the end.

The superiors thought that they should have a good rest and not worry about other things. As for the virus, colleagues in Hongcheng would be responsible for handling it. This result made Xia Luyao very frustrated and angry. She felt that she was ignored.

Lin Beichen accepted the result calmly without much emotion. He continued to live his life and occasionally went to observe the arrest operations of his colleagues in Hong Kong.

While observing a bar, he unexpectedly spotted a familiar face—the woman in waitress clothes turned out to be someone he once knew.

After some questioning and confirmation, Lin Beichen finally remembered the identity of this woman.

However, he did not have too many emotions because of this. He just said hello lightly and left the scene.

Although the night in the port city was a little chilly, Lin Beichen's heart was boiling with blood.

An unexpected encounter brought him back to meet his old junior high school classmate Zhao Lili. Her appearance seemed to uncover a forgotten memory and brought new ripples to Lin Beichen's life.

Looking at Zhao Lili's familiar yet unfamiliar face, Lin Beichen couldn't help but feel deeply moved. His former classmate was now in such a predicament. He couldn't just sit there and watch, so he decided to lend a helping hand.

"Are you okay?" Lin Beichen asked with concern after taking Zhao Lili out of the bar.

Zhao Lili smiled bitterly and shook her head, showing the birthmark on her wrist to Lin Beichen. It was a unique mark, but it brought her endless troubles. She told her story, and the days of being tracked and harassed made her exhausted. After listening to her, Lin Beichen's eyes flashed with anger. He couldn't imagine that this seemingly weak girl had gone through so many hardships. He took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and then said: "Don't worry, since you have encountered it, I will help you."

They first went to a clothing store and changed Zhao Lili into a new set of clothes. Then, Lin Beichen took her to a real estate agency, hoping to find a safe place for her to live. In the agency, they encountered some misunderstandings and cold eyes, but Lin Beichen didn't care about these. His mind was all on how to help Zhao Lili.

Outside Guanlan Community, they encountered an uninvited guest, Sun Ningzhou. This seemingly wealthy second-generation man was full of money and arrogance. His appearance instantly made the originally calm atmosphere tense.

Sun Ningzhou saw Zhao Lili at a glance. He strode over with a beautiful little box in his hand. He knelt on one knee and proposed to Zhao Lili. The dazzling diamond ring sparkled in the sun. However, Zhao Lili just looked at him coldly, with disgust and fear in her eyes.

Lin Beichen stood aside and watched coldly. He saw the greed and possessiveness in Sun Ningzhou's eyes, and also saw the helplessness and pleading in Zhao Lili's eyes. He knew that he had to stand up at this time.

"Sun Ningzhou, do you think you can do whatever you want just because you are rich?" Lin Beichen said coldly, "Do you think you can get what you want in this way?"

Sun Ningzhou was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting someone to dare to talk to him like that. He raised his head and looked at Lin Beichen, with a hint of viciousness in his eyes. However, Lin Beichen looked at him fearlessly, as if he wanted to see through his heart.

"Who are you? Why do you care about my business?" Sun Ningzhou said angrily.

"It doesn't matter who I am." Lin Beichen said calmly, "What's important is that you can't force someone to do something she doesn't want to do."

As he said that, he took Zhao Lili's hand and turned to leave. He knew that this farce was over. Sun Ningzhou stood there in a daze, watching the backs of the two people walking away. The diamond ring in his hand flashed a dazzling light in the sun, but it could no longer attract Zhao Lili's attention.

"Do you think you won?" Sun Ningzhou said gritting his teeth, "Let's wait and see!" However, his voice was drowned in the wind and no one responded.

"It seems that this man who looks like a human being is the culprit who pestered you and maliciously slandered you, forcing you to flee to the port city for refuge?" Zhao Lili nodded lightly, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes, "Yes, it's him."

Lin Beichen looked at Sun Ningzhou, with a mocking smile on his face. "I say, people should have a bottom line, and they should know when to pursue girls. A guy like you who does whatever it takes is simply the worst kind of scum."

He pointed at Sun Ningzhou, his tone full of disdain, "I have always looked down on scum like you. So, please be sensible and get out of here quickly, and don't be an eyesore here."

Sun Ningzhou's expression suddenly changed. He glared at Lin Beichen and said angrily, "What did you say? You dare to say it again!"

"What? Your ears don't work well?" Lin Beichen smiled contemptuously, "Then I'll say it again, get away from me, scumbag!"

There was an uproar around them, and everyone looked at Lin Beichen with strange eyes. They didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary young man would dare to insult Sun Ningzhou so bluntly.

The bikini girl and the leather pants girl stared at the scene with wide eyes, looking at it in disbelief. They thought Sun Ningzhou would get angry immediately and beat Lin Beichen up. However, to their surprise, Sun Ningzhou did not take action immediately.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm his burning anger. Then, he looked up at Lin Beichen, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Very good, you succeeded in angering me. Now, I give you a chance, kneel down and apologize to me immediately. Otherwise, I will let you know what it means to regret it."

Lin Beichen sneered when he heard this, "You want me to apologize? I'm afraid you haven't woken up yet. Let me tell you, don't say you are just a scumbag. Even if you are the king of heaven, don't think of making me bow my head."

Sun Ningzhou was so angry that he was shaking all over. He roared and was about to rush towards Lin Beichen. However, at this moment, Zhao Lili suddenly grabbed his sleeve.

"Sun Ningzhou, that's enough!" Zhao Lili summoned up her courage and shouted, "This is all your fault. You've forced me into a corner. What else do you want now? Are you going to force me to death?"

Sun Ningzhou was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Zhao Lili to stand up and speak for Lin Beichen at this time. He turned around and looked at Zhao Lili, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

"Lili, you..." Sun Ningzhou just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by Zhao Lili.

"Don't call me Lili, we are not familiar with each other." Zhao Lili said coldly, "Sun Ningzhou, I tell you, even if you are the only man left in the world, I will not be with you. Because you are not worthy at all!"

After saying this, Zhao Lili turned around and walked to Lin Beichen, hugging him tightly. She showed her attitude with her actions and gave Lin Beichen the greatest support.

Lin Beichen felt the warmth and determination from Zhao Lili, and a warm current surged in his heart. He gently patted Zhao Lili on the back, signaling her not to worry. Then, he looked up at Sun Ningzhou, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Sun Ningzhou, do you have anything else to say now?" Lin Beichen asked coldly.

Sun Ningzhou looked at Lin Beichen and Zhao Lili with a sullen face, his heart filled with anger and unwillingness. He knew that he had completely lost face today, and there was no point in staying any longer. (End of this chapter)
