Unrivaled Soldier in the City-Chapter 144: Unexpected Surprise

The visitor was none other than Lin Guo’er!

Upon seeing the scene in the office, her charming face froze, her beautiful eyes staring blankly at the sight before her.

At that moment, Liu Shilin also heard the door open and scrambled out of Lin Kuang’s embrace in fright. Seeing Lin Guo’er staring at her, Liu Shilin’s pretty face turned an even deeper shade of red, so shy she couldn’t even lift her head to face anyone.

Lin Kuang was also quite embarrassed. His embarrassment was due to his history with Lin Guo’er—he had seen all he could see and kissed all he could kiss. For her to walk in on this scene with Liu Shilin now, even someone as thick-skinned as him felt a little shy.

Seeing the embarrassed pair, Lin Guo’er snapped out of her daze and let out a playful giggle.

"Hee hee, so you two are secretly dating? You owe me a treat!" Lin Guo’er said with a grin, though she shot Lin Kuang a sharp glare from her beautiful eyes. However, she didn’t seem angry or furious about him being with Liu Shilin.

This frustrated Lin Kuang. He couldn’t tell if she genuinely wasn’t angry or if she was just pretending.

"N-No, we’re not... It’s not like that," Liu Shilin stammered weakly, her face blushing.

"Psh, don’t play dumb with me. I saw everything. What’s so hard to admit? It’s just a shame... my beautiful Shilin has been stolen by this scoundrel. It truly breaks my heart," Lin Guo’er said with a pout.

"Oh, Guo’er, don’t be ridiculous. I’m not yours," Liu Shilin said, her face flushing red. Her shyness was quite adorable.

"Tsk, tsk, just listen to you! Now you’re saying you’re not mine. So it’s true, you’ve abandoned me and run off with someone else. Sigh, you’ve made me so heartbroken," Guo’er said, pouting her lips in an expression of utter grievance that made Lin Kuang feel exasperated.

This woman is a true demoness!

Liu Shilin’s face was flushed with embarrassment. She bit her lip, not knowing how to respond.

Seeing this, Lin Guo’er stopped teasing her. Her expression turned serious as she said, "Duoduo just told me what happened. What exactly is going on?" As she spoke, her face grew grim.

The issue with Chu Zhongtian had just been dealt with, and now something else had come up. This made Lin Guo’er furious.

"We don’t know the full situation yet, only that our licensed distributors’ shops were smashed," Liu Shilin said, her expression also turning sour.

"Damn it! It must have been that bastard Chu Zhongtian! When one plan fails, he immediately resorts to such despicable methods!" Lin Guo’er said fiercely, looking absolutely livid.

"Ahem. Guo’er, calm down. I have a feeling Chu Zhongtian isn’t behind this. Perhaps it was someone else," Lin Kuang said with a reassuring laugh, seemingly unworried.

"Not Chu Zhongtian? Lin Kuang, have you lost your mind? Besides that bastard, who else would do something like this?" Lin Guo’er snapped irritably after shooting him a look.

"Well, it’s just a gut feeling that it wasn’t him. Don’t worry. Just give me some time—two or three days—and I’ll get to the bottom of it," Lin Kuang said with a smile.

"I suppose so. You’re always so mysterious. For something like this, we can only count on you," Lin Guo’er murmured under her breath.

"Mysterious? I’ve always kept a low profile, haven’t I? Ahem. You two go on with your work. Don’t worry about this," Lin Kuang said again.

Hearing this, both Liu Shilin and Lin Guo’er nodded. After all, there wasn’t much they could do to help. Everything depended on Lin Kuang.

At that moment, the phone in Lin Kuang’s pocket suddenly rang. He took it out and saw the call was from Zhang Lianmei, which puzzled him slightly. Zhang Lianmei usually only sent him text messages; she had never called him directly before.

Could she have already taken over the Eagle Sect? Lin Kuang wondered as he answered the call.

"Hello, this is Lin Kuang," he said calmly.

"Mr. Lin, it’s Zhang Lianmei. I’ve taken control of the Eagle Sect. Liu Liancheng is dead," Zhang Lianmei said respectfully, but her words were laced with an excitement she couldn’t hide.

After all, becoming the leader of the Eagle Sect had always been her greatest desire. Now that her wish had come true, how could she not be ecstatic?

Hearing this, Lin Kuang was momentarily stunned before a smile spread across his face. "Not bad at all. You truly are a very capable woman." He couldn’t help but praise her.

Zhang Lianmei was indeed capable. For a woman to use her own advantages to seize control of the Eagle Sect was a feat not just anyone could accomplish. How could she have pulled off such a thing without a sharp mind? Even though Lin Kuang had helped by eliminating the Eagle Sect’s leader, her own capabilities were undeniable.

Hearing Lin Kuang’s praise filled Zhang Lianmei’s heart with even more joy. For her, Lin Kuang was a man she both feared and loved. She feared his ruthlessness but was also drawn to that very same quality, believing that such a man was a true man.

However, Zhang Lianmei knew she wasn’t a "good" woman, and becoming Lin Kuang’s woman was next to impossible. But this didn’t diminish the deep admiration she held for him.

"Mr. Lin, there’s something else I need to tell you," Zhang Lianmei continued. "The one who targeted Yashi yesterday was Zhou Datuo, the boss of the Leopard Hall in East Sea. You crippled his son, Zhou Yutong, so he’s started to retaliate.

"Furthermore, last night my people saw Zhou Datuo enter the Xiangya Club and leave later through the back door. It seems this matter is also connected to Chu Zhongtian.

"On top of that, Chu Zhongtian has partnered with Zhou Datuo, having the Han Family’s drug operations work with him. Now, Zhou Datuo is preparing to hold a meeting and has invited the leaders of East Sea’s underworld to discuss this drug business. I’ve also received an invitation."

Zhang Lianmei’s information was undoubtedly extremely useful. Hearing her words, Lin Kuang’s expression shifted.

So Chu Zhongtian’s influence is mixed up in this after all.

Now that Chu Zhongtian and Zhou Datuo were fully cooperating, their relationship was built on mutual benefit. They were essentially a single entity, which would make them much harder to handle.

"Lianmei, what’s the power disparity between the Eagle Sect and the Leopard Hall? If we went to war, what would our chances of victory be?" Lin Kuang asked calmly.

Since Zhou Datuo was so oblivious to the situation, he might as well go all the way and just wipe out the Leopard Hall.

Hearing Lin Kuang’s words, Zhang Lianmei’s body trembled. She knew exactly what he intended to do, and it aligned perfectly with her own ambitions.
