After sensing Yu Tianlin's sharp gaze, the young couple's hearts skipped a beat, terrified they turned pale, their legs trembled, and they began shaking uncontrollably.

After Yu Tianlin and Lin Hai entered, the young man and woman exchanged glances, each seeing deep fear and awe in the other's eyes.

"That security guard...that security guard actually knows Young Master Yu." The young woman stuttered, terrified out of her wits.

"Young Master Yu was actually very courteous to that security guard... no, even respectful!" The young man could see a bit further than the woman.

"No, Mei, Young Master Yu's gaze was too sharp just now, he clearly saw through our scheme of trying to use him," the young man said thoughtfully, with lingering fear and an ugly expression.

The young woman immediately turned extremely pale.

Who is Young Master Yu? In her eyes, he is someone exalted. If Young Master Yu said the word, she would willingly kneel and fawn over him.

"What should we do, dear?" Mei asked tremblingly.

The young man thought for a moment, a reluctant look flashed in his eyes, but thinking that they couldn't afford to offend Young Master Yu, his gaze became resolute and he spoke to Mei, "Mei, let's go in and apologize to Young Master Yu.

"Ah? Can that really work?" Mei didn't believe that a simple apology could earn forgiveness from someone they offended, as in her view, anyone who crossed her deserved to be ruthlessly bullied.

The young man shook his head and added, "Mei, for us to continue living well in Huadu, we might need you…"

He didn't finish his sentence, but Mei understood.

She was not exactly pure, barely better than a prostitute, and once the young man mentioned, it immediately dawned on her.

"Are you saying that if Young Master Yu takes a liking to me, then I would...?" Mei asked coyly.

The young man nodded earnestly, persuading her, "Mei, think about it, if Young Master Yu really takes a fancy to you, or if that security guard highly regarded by Young Master Yu takes a fancy to you, it would be much better than being with me, and then you could truly enter the upper social circles of Huadu."

Mei was moved by his words. For a woman like her, preferences ranked secondary to opportunities to ascend the social ladder.

"Okay!" Mei agreed, and the young man relaxed and smiled.

Inside the café, the waiter respectfully and courteously walked out from the VIP private room, still in disbelief that someone dressed as a mere security guard was treated so respectfully and courteously by Young Master Yu; it was utterly unprecedented.

The young man and Mei stood hesitantly in front of Yu Tianlin's private room door, then decided to knock.

"Come in." Yu Tianlin sat across from Lin Hai, slightly furrowing his brows.

Mei and the young man entered with awe and trepidation.

"What is it? Something the matter?" Yu Tianlin's tone was slightly cold; he had chosen this place to meet with Lin Hai on important matters, precisely to avoid interruptions.

The young man looked at Mei, signaling her to speak.

Hesitant, Mei looked pitifully at Yu Tianlin, coquettishly said: "Young Master Yu, I did something wrong earlier and would like to apologize, please don't be mad at me."

The young man quickly followed up, saying to Yu Tianlin, "Young Master Yu, Wang admits his mistake and will never dare again."

Yu Tianlin's expression was aloof. Seeing Lin Hai looking unconcerned, he pondered for a moment before stating, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Mei and the young man's faces turned awkward.

Suddenly, Mei noticed Lin Hai sipping his coffee with squinted eyes, her big eyes fluttering, tearfully looking at Lin Hai, she said with a bone-trembling coquettish voice, "Big brother, I was wrong earlier, I apologize to you. If you're still angry, punish me tonight."

The underlying implication and the tantalizing voice made even the young man reluctant to let go of Mei, but facing Yu Tianlin's dominance, he dared not act rashly and had to painfully let go.

"Sigh, it's a pity, I was still a bit reluctant to let go of Mei, now I can only give her up," the young man sighed inwardly.

"Oh? How to punish?" Lin Hai smiled with a hint of playfulness, looking at Mei.

Mei, familiar with that playful smile—as it was common among men who had designs on her—rapidly assessed Lin Hai's status and the level he held within Huadu's upper circles. If Lin Hai's status turned out to be terrifyingly high, she would not mind dedicating herself entirely to gain leverage and support.

"Whatever Brother Lin says," Mei blinked innocently, adopting a docile demeanor.

"But, you were quite pretentious earlier, little sister," Lin Hai said with a mischievous smile.

Mei was inwardly thrilled, thinking she had a chance, this security guy must indeed like her. She wasn't sure of his exact relationship with Young Master Yu, but being able to talk privately with Young Master Yu meant his status couldn't be too low; she had secured her future.

"Cough cough, however, sister, I'm not interested in instant noodles, buses, public outlets, especially not in your type of black fungus. I'm afraid of catching diseases," Lin Hai said, still smiling.
