While speaking, Yang Zi was getting ready to undress.

"What are you doing?" Lin Chuan asked urgently.

"Taking a shower." Yang Zi froze for a moment, and said, "Don't you shower before doing that thing?"

"Doing that thing?" Lin Chuan said awkwardly, "When did I ever beat you at anything?"

Heh...

Yang Zi suddenly laughed pleasantly, and said, "Aren't all men like cats, and is there a cat that doesn't sneak around? Besides, I'm the fish that's jumped to your door, how could you resist eating?"

By then, Yang Zi had already taken off her clothes. Her impressive upper body was incredibly enticing. It made the blood boil. The black lingerie was even more seductive, outlining a deep, captivating chasm. It was breathtaking.

Lin Chuan's lips curved into a smile, "Yang Zi, you have a great figure."

"It's not the first time you've seen it." Yang Zi glanced at Lin Chuan.

As they spoke, Yang Zi's long dress slipped down from her waist. Her long, smooth legs, white as jade, were spotless and flawless. Such beautiful legs were undoubtedly the most beautiful legs for men with a particular penchant. The ratio of leg length to her body was perfect, and her legs were neither fat nor thin, perfectly proportioned.

Lin Chuan's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

"These legs are truly something." Lin Chuan chuckled.

"Really?" Yang Zi smiled, slowly walking toward Lin Chuan. Suddenly, she extended her long leg, resting it on the sofa where Lin Chuan was sitting, her thigh near Lin Chuan's face. Yang Zi was only wearing black lingerie and lace trim, revealing all but the essential areas.

Ah...

Lin Chuan instantly felt a kind of electric thrill.

"What are you going to do?" Lin Chuan swallowed.

"Wanna try some queen's discipline?" Yang Zi winked at Lin Chuan.

"No... no, I'm not into that," Lin Chuan shook his head quickly.

"Then... how about maid discipline?" Yang Zi chuckled.

"Gulp..." Lin Chuan swallowed again, his eyes unconsciously focusing on Yang Zi's pants. Inside, he seemed to hear a deep growl: Take her down, take her down. Do it now.

Yet, another rational voice kept advising him: Control, control, you must control yourself.

Yang Zi turned and left, leaving behind a trail of bell-like laughter: "I'm going to shower, hehe..."

Lin Chuan lay gasping on the sofa, watching Yang Zi enter the bathroom. Hurriedly he stood up, quietly heading for the door. Just as he reached the door, Lin Chuan had a sudden pang of regret. He slapped himself, cursing: "Fool, such a beautiful woman, and your high school goddess at that, now at your doorstep, what reason do you have not to take her?"

Take her! You've got to!

But just as he turned around, Lin Chuan regretted it.

Once, you despised Yang Zi so much, and now you're suddenly entangled with her like this? Don't you know this woman is a typical manipulative girl? Moreover, you already have Tang Yumeng, already have Song Xiaojia, how could you still entangle yourself with her?

Two voices echoed in Lin Chuan's mind.

One was emotional, the other rational. The emotional voice seemed to persistently entangle Lin Chuan. The rational voice, however, wasn't weak either. It was as if a great battle ensued in his mind. This put Lin Chuan in great distress, and this distress left him at a loss as to what choice to make.

In the end, rationality gained the upper hand. Taking advantage of this fleeting moment, Lin Chuan immediately turned and headed for the door. He closed the door so softly that not a sound could be heard.

Leaving the hotel, Lin Chuan felt his head was in a haze, almost collapsing. Perhaps he had exhausted his mind earlier, caught up in the debate over whether to stay or leave.

Outside, a warm breeze swept over, making Lin Chuan feel especially comfortable.

In the hotel room.

When Yang Zi finished showering and came out, wrapped in a towel, the towel just covered the most crucial part of her chest. So, there was nothing to see.

While tending to her hair, Yang Zi looked with curiosity toward the lounge outside the room, but she saw no trace of Lin Chuan.

"Lin Chuan!" Yang Zi called hurriedly.

There was no response from the room.

Frantically, Yang Zi searched everywhere, but after turning around the room, she realized Lin Chuan was no longer there. Yang Zi was stunned: "That... that bastard actually left?"

Yes indeed!

Yang Zi found it unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable. This feeling was as shocking as winning five million.

"How is that possible!" Yang Zi frowned.

To Yang Zi, she was very confident in her own charm. She was full of confidence in her face, her figure, and her temperament. She never thought a man could escape from her side. And he had already entered the hotel room, this was simply a huge insult to her.

"Oh my God, that bastard Lin Chuan actually fled at the critical moment?!" Yang Zi was dumbfounded.

Indeed, it was an insult, a mockery.

For a woman like Yang Zi, scoring ten out of ten, her looks could definitely get an eleven. She believed there was no man in this world who could escape from her grasp. However, Lin Chuan's departure had dealt her a severe blow, and this blow made her very sad. Suddenly, Yang Zi's pride, confidence, and obsession all collapsed in an instant. She couldn't even attract a man. What confidence, what pride? What right did she have to be proud?

Yang Zi sat on the sofa and thought for a long time.

"That bastard," Yang Zi's face was sullen, "How did I come across such an oddball like you? Heh… but I like it, I just like you like this. The more you want to run, the more I want to conquer you. I want to see whether you can run faster, or I can chase faster."

Yang Zi indeed suffered a confidence setback and felt humiliated.

I was already naked, bathed, just waiting for you. But you, kid, at such a crucial moment, dropped the ball and ran away. I guess any woman would find it unacceptable, let alone a proud woman like Yang Zi.

.........…

Coming out of the hotel, Lin Chuan looked at the darkening sky and breathed a sigh of relief.

After leaving the hotel, he was no longer conflicted. The emotional side seemed to have subsided, and the rational side had taken the high ground. Hence, Lin Chuan's guilt vanished without a trace. With a cigarette in his mouth, he walked leisurely down the street.

As night descended, the street lights were brilliantly lit.

Although Song Ming was no longer governing Jiangbei City, Jiangbei City became even more prosperous and thriving with Tang Yumeng at the helm. Tang Yumeng's governing philosophy was to serve the people and enrich the populace. While introducing foreign investments, Tang Yumeng prioritized ecology and environment first, which quickly garnered enthusiastic support from the citizens. Tang Yumeng didn't need so-called achievements to decorate herself or pave her way, so she could fully unleash her ambition.

Jiangbei City's economy quickly achieved unprecedented growth. As the saying goes, unintentionally planting willows yet willows thrive. Tang Yumeng didn't seek achievements, yet inadvertently made her achievements shine brightly, becoming the province's most accomplished and popular secretary.

Lin Chuan walked slowly on the street.

Suddenly, a group of people wielding machetes, steel pipes, and iron rods rushed past him.

"Hurry up."

"Catch up quickly, don't fall behind."

More than a dozen people charged forward in a swarm.

Lin Chuan found it curious; this group looked unfamiliar—could it be that they're going for a fight? All of Jiangbei City's territory was unified by the Jvyi Gang. Is there someone causing trouble behind the scenes now?

This aroused Lin Chuan's curiosity.

"What on earth?" Lin Chuan frowned and said, "What are these people up to? No, I need to catch up and take a look."

With that, Lin Chuan quickly chased after the group out of curiosity about what they intended to do.

Before long, Lin Chuan saw that on the street, a group was surrounding something, yelling.

"Damn it, trying to run, let's see where you run to."

"Heh, taking sneaky pictures and still trying to run."

The group surrounded a woman. When Lin Chuan squeezed through, he realized that this woman was someone he knew—she was Mu Bai.

"What do you want to do?" Mu Bai was startled.

"What do you want?" The leader shouted, "Little girl, behave and hand over the stuff, or else you'll get it."

"What stuff, I don't know!" Mu Bai hurriedly shook her head.

"Do I have to give you a hint?" The man sneered, slowly advancing with an iron rod in hand. Mu Bai wanted to retreat, but several men behind her blocked her way, surrounding her with a dozen or so others.

Mu Bai was a bit scared, her face pale. She gulped and said, "Don't mess around, I'll call the police."

"Go ahead and try calling the police," the man sneered. "Do you believe I'll chop your hand off?"

Mu Bai instinctively shrank her hand.

At this time, Lin Chuan quickly pushed through the crowd. He urgently walked over and asked, "Mu Bai, what's going on here?"

"Lin Chuan!" Mu Bai felt as if she had found a lifeline. She quickly rushed over, hugged Lin Chuan's arm, and said excitedly, "They're… they're bullying me, help me."
