Mu Yunxue and Lin Chen chatted about some insignificant topics, but no matter how charmingly Mu Yunxue behaved, Lin Chen always maintained a cool demeanor.

At this moment, Secretary Wu entered from outside, "Old gentleman, the money has been transferred to the Starlight Group's account; here is the receipt."

Lin Chen nodded, "That's good. I am very satisfied with this cooperation, and will definitely visit frequently in the future."

Mu Yunxue stood up with a beaming smile and took out a VIP gold card, "Old gentleman, this is our Peach Garden Group's VIP gold card. From now on, whenever you buy medicine or consume services at any of our Peach Garden Group's pharmacies or clubs in Hua Xia, you can enjoy a fifty percent discount and VIP supreme services."

Lin Chen took the VIP card, gave a nod, and left the club.

Mu Yunxue and Secretary Wu escorted Lin Chen to the door. Watching Lin Chen's retreating figure, Secretary Wu asked, "President Mu, should we have someone follow him to investigate his background?"

"Absolutely not. Such a person is temperamental. If he discovers he's being followed, it could easily backfire. Instead of making a friend, we might end up making an enemy," Mu Yunxue said, shaking her head.

"By the way, for the recent projects we discussed with the Starlight Group, tell them to sign off on them as long as the conditions aren't too harsh. This Starlight Group having Lin Chen and that mysterious pharmacist is quite remarkable!" Mu Yunxue murmured as she watched the figure vanish into the crowd.

"Yes, President. I will get right on it," said Secretary Wu with a nod.

As soon as Lin Chen left, Xue Ying called him.

"Lin Chen, is this one billion your doing?" Xue Ying asked excitedly.

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes. What do you think? Your husband is quite impressive, isn't he?"

"Where did you borrow such a large amount of money?" Xue Ying inquired curiously.

"Borrow? I never borrow money from others. I earned this money," Lin Chen said with a smile.

"Hmph, alright then, little man, daring to keep a secret fund," Xue Ying's expression was that of a plaintive little wife.

Lin Chen replied with a wronged look, "That's not it. I just earned this money, alright?"

"Humph, I'll give you credit. Come find me, and I'll reward you!" Xue Ying said shyly.

"Okay, I'll be right there!" Lin Chen smiled, hailed a taxi, and rushed straight to the Starlight Group headquarters.

...

Upon arriving at the office, the door was ajar. Lin Chen tiptoed over and saw Xue Ying still engrossed in her work at the desk.

Lin Chen smiled and sat opposite Xue Ying, "Ying Sister, don't work too hard. I'll feel distressed."

Xue Ying gave Lin Chen a glance, "You, as the chairman, are nothing but a hands-off shopkeeper. What am I supposed to do if not stay busy?"

"Who said I'm a hands-off shopkeeper? Didn't I just help you patch the hole today?" Lin Chen said cheerfully.

Xue Ying nodded, "Although the hole is patched, I still feel uneasy. Our working cash flow is too low. If someone sabotages us and shorts the market, I'm afraid we won't be able to handle it!"

Lin Chen sat down beside Xue Ying, gently took her into his arms, "Ying Sister, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Rest assured, I've got your back. Money isn't important to me, what's important is your happiness."

Xue Ying was taken aback for a moment, then gazed absent-mindedly at Lin Chen, her mouth curling into a sweet smile, "Sly boy, I am very happy and content now. I know you carry many responsibilities, and I am already very happy being able to share some of them with you."

"Alright, enough playing around. I've still got overtime to do!" Xue Ying wriggled free from Lin Chen's arms and said with a smile.

Lin Chen reluctantly got up from Xue Ying.

Just then, Lin Chen's phone suddenly rang—it was Zhao Xiaohua calling.

"Lin Chen, Wu Feng's guys have been loitering around the villa. Do you want me to dig a hole and bury them all?" Zhao Xiaohua's impatient voice came through the phone.

Wu Feng's guys? Lin Chen was startled for a moment and hastily said, "No need, no need, I'll handle it myself when I go back."

Now he was the master of Evil Spirit Island, and these men were technically his subordinates. If Zhao Xiaohua really buried them, it wouldn't be easy to explain to Wu Feng, and it would be a loss for him as well.

Lin Chen bid farewell to Xue Ying and hurried back to the villa.

Just as he entered the ring road next to the neighborhood, a Passat car closely followed behind him.

Lin Chen suddenly stopped and said somewhat helplessly, "Brother Feng, your brothers are really persistent, still not leaving and waiting at my door to kill me."

From the Jade Pendant came Wu Feng's furious voice, "These motherfucking sons of bitches, lead them into the forest; I'm going to teach these bastards a good lesson."

Lin Chen nodded, then quickened his pace towards the forest.

Seeing this, the men following Lin Chen hurried out of the car and followed Lin Chen into the forest.

In the forest, Lin Chen looked at the men who had entered with a smile, "Brothers, haven't had enough fun in the Capital City? Still not leaving?"

Tu Qiang snorted coldly, "Lin Chen, you caused our boss's death, and you even deceived him into giving you the master's position. Today I'm going to avenge my boss; this will be your grave."

Lin Chen shook his head helplessly, "Hey, hey, who was bragging to me saying that the brothers wouldn't dare disobey your words? Now you're getting slapped in the face, aren't you?"

"You fucking bastards, you took my words to the wind, didn't you? I sacrificed my life for you to run away; who the hell let you motherfuckers come back? You've all disgraced me!" At that moment, Wu Feng finally couldn't hold back and burst out from the Jade Pendant.

"Boss!" Seeing Wu Feng, the men were all stunned.

"Boss, how did you turn into this?" they said, both shocked and delighted upon seeing Wu Feng's Soul Body.

"Turn into this? It's enough to make you angry," the Soul Body of Wu Feng charged towards them.

"Boss!" The men couldn't help but weep as they saw Wu Feng's spiritual form.

"Stop crying, I'm not dead yet! All of you kneel down and call Mr. Lin your master!" Wu Feng said furiously.

The men looked at each other and one after another they knelt down and said to Lin Chen, "Master!"

Lin Chen shook his head helplessly, it seemed he was destined to be the master.

Just then, Lin Chen suddenly dashed towards the men, "You motherfuckers dare to ambush me, I'm going to fight you to the death."

The men were stunned at first, but soon they also spotted a sneaky figure hiding in the bushes—it turned out the Zhou family had been watching them all along.

A seemingly earth-shattering brawl unfolded in the forest. Although it was lively, the men were all bluffing, and during the fight, Lin Chen also assigned them tasks to act as insiders, reporting on the Zhou family's situation at any time.

At that moment, the sound of police sirens came from not far away, and then the men "panicked" and fled in disarray.

Watching Tu Qiang and the others dive into the car and speed away, Lin Chen laughed, "Zhou Batian, the time has come to settle our scores."
