"Huh? Sister Wanru, isn't that your ex-boyfriend? Has he not amounted to anything now, so he's discarded you?"
Just as Qin Wanru was contemplating how to win Lin Chen back, a schadenfreude voice reached her ears.
Turning her head, she saw Liu Yan, a university classmate she shared with Lin Chen.
Since university, Liu Yan had relied on her youth and beauty to date rich men. She never expected to run into her here!
When she married Zhang Tao, she had deliberately invited all their old classmates to show off, only to end up making a fool of herself.
It could be said that Qin Wanru had now become a laughingstock among all her friends.
"Hmph, *I* discarded him. Just wait, in at most a week, he'll be begging me to get back together!"
As she said this, Qin Wanru clenched her fist, her face full of confidence.
Back in school, she and Lin Chen had broken up many times, but each time, as long as she showed a little affection, he would immediately turn into a simp begging her to reconcile.
This tactic had always worked! So she believed it would be the same now!
"Really? Hahaha, we're having a class reunion at Hangcheng Hotel this Saturday. You must bring Lin Chen, we have so many questions for him."
Seeing Qin Wanru's expression, Liu Yan was inwardly overjoyed.
When Qin Wanru was with Zhang Tao before, she had shown off to them quite a bit. Now that Zhang Tao was in trouble, and even taken away at the wedding, they had finally had their revenge!
"Hehehe, don't worry, we'll definitely be there. All expenses for the reunion will be on me and Lin Chen."
Seeing Liu Yan's mocking expression, Qin Wanru became even more resolute.
Later, she would personally call Lin Chen, give him a way out, and then have him beg her to get back together.
At that time, she wanted to see how those classmates who wanted to laugh at her could still do so!
"Alright, it's a deal. I'll post the news to our class group right away."
Seeing Qin Wanru's boastful demeanor, Liu Yan was even more delighted.
As far as she was concerned, no matter what the relationship between Lin Chen and Qin Wanru was, as long as Lin Chen attended the class reunion, she would unleash all her skills to win him over.
A woman like Qin Wanru, how could she compare to her skills?
She was sure she could make Lin Chen fall head over heels!
Thinking of this, Liu Yan's heart filled with anticipation, and she spread the news that Lin Chen and Qin Wanru would be attending the class reunion.
At the same time, Lin Chen and Secretary Liang, along with others, had placed the large cauldron in the auction house's underground garage.
"Alright, Secretary Liang, just leave the thing here. I'll take care of it myself."
"Thank you for your hard work today. Please convey my thanks to the old gentleman when you return."
Upon reaching the underground garage, Lin Chen casually pointed to a corner where no one was around and said to Secretary Liang.
"Yes, Mr. Lin. Then I shall take my leave."
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Secretary Liang dared not say anything more and quickly left with a few subordinates.
After Secretary Liang and his men were far away, Lin Chen looked around, ensuring there was no one and no surveillance. With a wave of his hand, he put the nameless great cauldron into his Nine Dragon Ring.
Having done all this, Lin Chen then pretended nothing had happened and intended to leave the garage.
However, after taking just a few steps, he heard a commotion.
"Who are you people? Why are you targeting my young lady!"
A somewhat familiar voice came from the underground garage. Lin Chen pondered for a moment and recognized the female bodyguard named Aunt Zhang who was by Qiu Hanying's side.
Thinking of this, Lin Chen shook his head and completely dismissed the idea of going to help.
Heaven knows, the first time he met Qiu Hanying, he had kindly reminded her, only to be treated as a pervert.
Later, he was slandered as a stalker, and it was almost impossible to clear his name.
Now, why would he continue to meddle in her affairs?
"Young lady, hurry and leave! This person is Hei San'er, the top fighter in Hangcheng's underworld. His martial arts are not inferior to mine, you must leave quickly!"
Just as Lin Chen turned to leave, Aunt Zhang's anxious voice was heard again.
Then, he felt a strange spiritual energy fluctuation.
This fluctuation, however, made Lin Chen pause his steps.
"This spiritual energy is incredibly bizarre, carrying a hint of blood qi. Could this be the Yin Demon cultivation method my master spoke of?"
Thinking of this, Lin Chen, full of curiosity, turned around and walked towards the source of the spiritual energy fluctuation.
Back in prison, his master had once said that he was framed, and all he knew was that the person who framed him mastered this Yin Demon cultivation method, which involved cultivating with the corpses of the dead. It was utterly evil.
And this fluctuation now felt very much like the aura his master had described!
"Whether it is or not, I must investigate!"
With this thought, Lin Chen quickened his pace.
His master's greatest regret in his life was being framed and harming innocent civilians.
That was why he had imprisoned himself and refused to come out.
Otherwise, Lin Chen believed that with his master's abilities, which could overturn mountains and seas, a small prison could not hold him.
"Who is it?"
As Lin Chen approached, Aunt Zhang and Hei San'er, who were fighting, suddenly stopped. They both retreated three steps, looking at each other vigilantly.
Clearly, neither of them knew who he was and considered him an opponent's helper.
"It's you? Lin Chen?"
At this moment, the most surprised person in the entire garage was likely Qiu Hanying.
Just now, Aunt Zhang had held Hei San'er back, and she had planned to seize the opportunity to escape and call the police.
But she didn't expect Hei San'er to have backup and was blocked again.
Just as she despaired, she saw this man she disliked again!
Lin Chen!
A person she kept running into, whose identity was a mystery, now seemed to be her savior.
"Heh, silly girl, how about it? You're not going to say I'm acting with you this time, are you?"
Seeing Qiu Hanying's innocent look, Lin Chen couldn't help but feel angry.
This silly girl was a prime example of biting the hand that feeds you!
If it weren't for sensing the Yin Demon spiritual energy fluctuation, he really wouldn't have bothered with this mess!
"Mr... Mr. Lin Chen, I was wrong. Please save me...."
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Qiu Hanying lowered her head in shame.
The previous times she had misunderstood Lin Chen, she wished she could slap herself!
