{Chapter: 114 Ye Feng lost again!}
In fact, it doesn't matter whether he knows Rousseau or Kant.
As long as, within the gentle embrace of the blue misty drizzle, that person is waiting for her.
But she doesn't know when that person will come.
'It would be great if he had the same soulful voice as the singer of this song… someone with such a beautiful voice.'
'Anyway, that person is definitely not Lin Yuan. I hate him to death.'
Lin Yuan's voice is absolutely terrible. It's nowhere near as captivating as this singer's!
His singing voice is completely different from his speaking voice—so different that it's almost comical.
Adding to that, people already stereotype him as the Young Master of the Lin Family or label him as The Big Bad Guy.
Qiao Siying simply could not picture someone like him as a pop singer. The idea was too ridiculous to even consider.

On the Other Side…
Lin Yuan was busy checking the results of his trip to the equestrian club.
Even though he had spent quite a bit of wealth to upgrade his horseback riding skills to the divine level, the investment had paid off handsomely. His main goal had always been to acquire those buildings from Tang Bowen—and he had accomplished that.
Not only that, but he had also managed to lure the tiger to devour the wolves, setting the first stage of his plan to take down Gu Qingshan and the Qingshan Gang into motion.
And the icing on the cake? He had won all three races, earning a substantial amount of money.
The winnings were nearly equal to what he had spent. In the end, there was no loss—only gains.
His newly acquired divine-level riding skills had not been wasted in the slightest.
Moreover, today's training session with Yan Ruyue had been particularly productive. She had not resisted their close contact. In fact, the experience would likely leave a lasting impression on her.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Siying's favorability toward him had also improved—though, at the moment, it was still in the negatives.
And then, there was that unforgettable moment when he had teased the stunning mixed-race beauty.
'I have to find another chance to try again…'
Overall, today has been a good day. Not only had the favorability of both girls increased, but he had also successfully planted the seeds of doubt regarding Qingshan and Gu Qingshan Gang in Tang Bowen's mind.
To top it all off, Lin Yuan had earned another two thousand counterattack points in total.
As he was about to open the system panel to take a more detailed look at his stats, his phone suddenly vibrated with an incoming message.
It was from Long Wu.
After glancing at the message, Lin Yuan's lips curled into a faint smile.
It was an update on Gu Qingshan.
Gu Qingshan had already paid out more than tens of millions in compensation.
At the same time, he and his gang had received their usual monthly share of the meat—a transaction that took place every 30th of the month.
Another piece of news followed.
Aside from handing over money, Gu Qingshan had also sent someone to deliver gifts to Lin Yuan's company as a gesture of apology.
Over the phone, Long Wu relayed the details.
"Young Master Lin, the person sent by Gu Qingshan, was very sincere in his apology. He kept insisting that the whole thing was just a misunderstanding. He even emphasized that Gu Qingshan never had any intention of going against you."
"Hah. He apologized?" Lin Yuan chuckled, shaking his head.
He wasn't naive.
Even though Gu Qingshan was showing weakness now, Lin Yuan understood his nature all too well.
Both Gu Qingshan and Ye Feng had one thing in common: they never forgot a grudge.
But unlike Ye Feng, Gu Qingshan was far more cunning. He knew how to be patient. He knew when to lie low and when to strike.
Gu Qingshan's rise to the status of an underground emperor hadn't happened overnight. He had built his power gradually, step by step.
He was ruthless.
To him, anyone who offended him had one fate—death.
And considering his close relationship with his sworn brother, Ye Feng, there was no doubt that he would try to help Ye Feng eliminate Lin Yuan.
Long Wu's voice came through the receiver again.
"Young Master, what should we do about the Qingshan Gang?"
Lin Yuan's expression remained indifferent.
"Continue targeting them. Increase the pressure. Disrupt all of their operations."
"Understood!" Long Wu immediately responded.
Ever since Lin Yuan had caught the Qingshan Gang red-handed in their illicit activities, he had been relentlessly using the Lin Family's power in Xiling District to suppress them.
For instance, whenever the Qingshan Gang tried to conduct their usual business, the Lin Family's forces would monitor and tail them.
Any illegal activity they engaged in was reported immediately.
The Lin Family's strength far surpassed that of the Qingshan Gang.
And Gu Qingshan, despite his ambitions, wasn't foolish enough to fight a colossal force like the Lin Family head-on.
Unfortunately, Xiling District wasn't officially under the Lin Family's sphere of influence.
Otherwise, Lin Yuan wouldn't have to plan so meticulously—he could have crushed Gu Qingshan effortlessly with sheer force alone.
But things were about to change.
Once Tang Bowen informed his father about Gu Qingshan's misdeeds, the Tang Family's patriarch would undoubtedly be furious.
And when that happened, Gu Qingshan's life would become significantly more difficult.
Squinting slightly, Lin Yuan knew the time was approaching when a cornered dog might jump over the wall—desperation often led to reckless actions.
With that thought, he spoke into the phone.
"You're still in Xiling District, right? In half an hour, meet me at the entrance of Hope Cake Shop. There's something I need you to do with me."
"Yes, Master!" Long Wu responded instantly. His loyalty was absolute, and he never questioned Lin Yuan's orders.
After ending the call, Lin Yuan drove toward Hope Cake Shop and soon arrived at the storefront.
Since it would take Long Wu another twenty minutes to return to Xiling District, Lin Yuan decided to go inside the shop and wait.
However, the moment he stepped out of his car, he heard two familiar voices shouting angrily.
Turning his head, he saw Xiao Lian and Xiao He, their usually cheerful expressions replaced by furious glares.
And the target of their scolding was all too familiar.
"Get lost! You want to know our store manager's contact information? Who do you think you are?!"
"That's right! The store manager belongs to Young Master! Not you! You're disgusting! This shop won't sell cakes to you anymore!"
Lin Yuan glanced toward the scene, immediately recognizing the person being yelled at—Ye Feng.
Standing behind the two girls, Qiu Wanxi looked at Ye Feng with pure disgust.
Her heart only had room for Lin Yuan. She wasn't interested in entertaining anyone else, especially not a man like Ye Feng.
At this moment, Ye Feng's expression was particularly sour.
After learning that Gu Qingshan's plan had failed, he had been in a foul mood. He had gone out to wander around, hoping to clear his head, only to find himself inexplicably drawn to Hope Cake Shop.
Then, the moment he had laid eyes on Qiu Wanxi, he had been instantly captivated.
Even though she was dressed simply, she had a natural elegance that made her stand out.
Ye Feng found her very attractive.
He immediately wanted to strike up a conversation and so expressed his intent to buy some cake.
However, Qiu Wanxi had ignored him completely.
Seeing his intentions, Xiao Lian and Xiao He, had immediately intervened.
Ye Feng's eyes darkened. He was about to do something to the two girls—but before he could make a move, several men in black swiftly surrounded him.
'There's a background!'
His instincts screamed at him—these men were dangerous.
Seeing these well-trained men in black who might possibly be carrying deadly weapons approaching, Ye Feng couldn't even move his hands.
The China World Trade Center is so prosperous. There are so many people so the security is tight. If he dared to do something, even if he can fight for himself, it may not end very well for him.
Ye Feng could only prepare to leave dingy.
