The dinner for three was extremely awkward, and all three sighed with relief as it finally came to an end.

"I'll take you home!"

At the entrance of the western restaurant, Lin Chen and Chen Kang almost spoke at the same time.

Looking at the two men, Su Rui's cheeks reddened slightly as she smiled at Chen Kang, "Let Lin Chen take me home."

Hearing Su Rui's choice, a trace of disappointment crossed Chen Kang's face. He wanted to say something but instead took a deep breath.

"Su Rui, you should rest early, I'll call you when I can," Chen Kang said as he opened the car door for Su Rui.

Lin Chen waved to Chen Kang, "Thanks for the dinner, Brother Chen."

"Bang!" Clearly, Chen Kang was not in a good mood at that moment, closing the car door forcefully and giving Lin Chen a stern look.

The car started, and Lin Chen said with a cheery grin, "I think this Chen Kang is not too bad, huh!"

"Not too bad? I think he's a bit too childish," Su Rui said, gazing out the window at the streetscape in a daze.

"Childish is good, isn't it? Better than someone like me who is bogged down with a heap of messy issues," Lin Chen said with a smile.

"I haven't made up my mind yet. Actually, I don't have any bad feelings toward him, just feel he's lacking something," Su Rui mused after a moment.

At this moment, Lin Chen glanced at the rearview mirror and smiled, "Your little boyfriend clearly isn't too happy about me taking you home, is he!"

Seeing the Santana behind them, Su Rui couldn't help but smile, "That's just how he is, a vinegar pot. Be careful, he's petty."

"Haha, being petty about a woman means he cares about you!" Lin Chen laughed.

Su Rui gave Lin Chen a flirtatious look, "Hey, don't you have any feelings for me at all?"

Lin Chen glanced at the alluring beauty beside him and smiled, "I do have feelings, but I already have a girlfriend, and my wife has said that if I cheat, the consequences will be severe."

Su Rui laughed, "You philanderer, how many women do you have?"

"Not many, about the same number as Wei Xiaobao," Lin Chen replied lightly.

"Humph, I was thinking about pursuing you, but forget it then. I like men who are faithful," Su Rui said with a sidelong glance at Lin Chen.

"Yep, so I'm not your type, am I!" Lin Chen smiled.

Suddenly recalling something, Su Rui asked, "By the way, did you come to see me for a reason?"

Lin Chen nodded, his expression grew serious as he took out a photo from his pocket, "This is you, right?"

Su Rui looked at the photo and was a bit stunned, "This is a photo of me as a child, but how do you have it?"

Lin Chen asked, "Didn't your grandfather ever tell you about your parents?"

"No, he rarely brings up my parents," Su Rui shook her head.

By now, they had arrived at the building where Su Rui lived. Lin Chen, after a moment's thought, said, "Actually, your parents are not dead, they are still alive, and it is your father who asked me to find you."

The birthmark, her resemblance, and Su Rui's background all confirmed that Su Rui was the daughter Su Wentian was searching for, so Lin Chen told her the truth directly.

"What did you say?" Su Rui's expression changed abruptly.

Lin Chen repeated the story of the baby's disappearance that Su Wentian had told him to Su Rui.

Su Rui's face became increasingly unsightly, "Are you telling the truth?"

Lin Chen nodded, "I was entrusted by someone else, and I have no reason to lie to you."

Looking at the photo, Su Rui was somewhat dazed. After a while, she said, "Lin Chen, this is all too sudden, can you give me some time to think? I'll contact you tomorrow."

Lin Chen nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for your message."

Su Rui got out of the car, and Lin Chen watched her somewhat lonely figure with a touch of sympathy in his heart.

The realization that the grandfather who had raised her for over a decade was in fact the person who had stolen her away, depriving her of her father's and mother's love, was indeed a heavy blow for her.

Lin Chen sighed, started the car, and was just about to reverse out of the residential area when suddenly he heard the roar of a car engine—a Santana came speeding towards him.

"This maniac!" Lin Chen quickly discerned the other driver's intentions as he saw the Santana rushing crazily towards him.

Lin Chen hurriedly switched to reverse and backed up his car.

Although Lin Chen reacted swiftly, it was still a step too late.

The Santana rammed hard into the headlight area of Lin Chen's Phantom sports car.

"Dammit, this car's really expensive," Lin Chen lamented, his heart bleeding as he angrily got out of the car.

At that moment, Chen Kang also got out of the Santana, wielding a baseball bat.

"Lin Chen, I demand a duel with you!" Chen Kang declared, looking as if he was prepared to meet his death.

"Duel my ass, I'm busy as hell and have no time to play with you, kid," Lin Chen grumbled irritably.

But Chen Kang, like a crazed little tiger, launched an attack with his bat without further discussion.

Dammit, I've really given you too much face.

Before Chen Kang could get close, Lin Chen kicked him to the ground.

Thump, the bat flew from Chen Kang's hand, but he didn't get discouraged, and got up again, this time with a brick in his hand.

"Don't move, stop right there!" At this moment, three policemen ran over from not far away.

It turned out that the community had recently experienced a series of thefts, so the police had stepped up patrols—unexpectedly stumbling upon the two men fighting.

Chen Kang glanced at the policemen, a cold look in his eyes, and hurled the brick straight at Lin Chen.

"Dammit, you're still not done," Lin Chen knew he couldn't dodge; behind him was a car worth tens of millions, and repairing even a small dent would be costly.

Lin Chen swung a fist and smashed it into the brick.

"Boom!"

The brick shattered into pieces instantly.

Chen Kang was dumbstruck; the brick, so solid, had been crushed with one punch by this guy. The thought alone of that punch hitting his body chilled him to the bone.

By this time, the three policemen had also closed in.

One of the officers looked over the two, one in designer brands and the other in street stall clothes, and quickly pegged their statuses.

The one in designer brands must be some new rich second-generation kid, while the one in street wear was undoubtedly a poor loser.

"Hey, didn't you hear me tell you to stop? Are you deaf?" the lead policeman demanded, his anger flaring.

Only then did Chen Kang snap out of his shock: "Oh, it was a misunderstanding, there's nothing concerning you here."

Having said that, Chen Kang waved his hand dismissively and walked back to his car.

Dammit, you think it's over just because you say it's over, treating us like we're invisible? The lead officer's anger flared even more upon witnessing Chen Kang's arrogant attitude.

"Smack!"

The officer slapped Chen Kang on the back of his head: "Dammit, have you lost your mind? Assault with a deadly weapon, and you say it's nothing? Let's take a trip to the station."

With that, the officer reached out to grab Chen Kang.

Chen Kang erupted with fury. As the privileged second son of the Chen family, even his own father and mother had never laid a finger on him, and now he had been slapped on the back of the head by a mere policeman.

"You dare hit me?" Already seething with rage, the second son Chen charged at the officer.
