Chapter 4: Yellowed Old Photos
Swipe! Upon hearing these words, everyone's expression changed. Who is this person, daring to speak so rudely to Mr. Bai?
Bai Jingze's expression turned cold as well, "Someone catch him!"
Instantly, over a dozen security guards emerged and surrounded Su Wanqiao completely.
Su Wanqiao's expression changed!
At this moment, Lin Shuang spoke, "Brother, why bother? My boss already rejected you, and now you want to force yourself on her? This is a society governed by law."
"A stray dog dares to bark?!" Bai Jingze violently grabbed a wine bottle from a nearby dining table and smashed it over Lin Shuang's head.
Crack! The moment the wine bottle hit Lin Shuang's head, it shattered, scattering glass fragments all over him.
But Lin Shuang's head was unharmed?
"Lin Shuang! Are you okay?!" Su Wanqiao was scared by this scene and asked with concern!
Lin Shuang shook his head, glanced at Su Wanqiao, and asked, "Boss Su, can we take him down? Will you cover the medical expenses?"
"Ah?" Su Wanqiao took a moment to realize, then nodded and said, "Sure."
Without another word, Lin Shuang also grabbed a wine bottle and swung it down at Bai Jingze's head!
Bai Jingze's expression turned to horror, but Lin Shuang was too fast, and he had no time to dodge.
Clang! With a loud explosion, the wine bottle burst on Bai Jingze's head.
Bai Jingze was knocked out… His brain throbbing explosively, blood flowing down his head.
But Lin Shuang didn't stop; he grabbed a second bottle, "Crack!" and smashed it again!
Bai Jingze's forehead was soaked with blood as he staggered backward!
Lin Shuang grabbed a third bottle of wine and smashed it down again!
Crack! Bai Jingze collapsed to the ground, clutching his head and screaming in pain!
The room went silent.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Who is this person who dares to hit Bai Jingze?
Looking over the whole of southern Hai City, in both the underworld and the legal world, no one dares to touch Bai Jingze.
Su Wanqiao was also stunned. This guy was so ruthless?
"Boss Su, I've fought him for you; you cover the medical expenses," Lin Shuang dusted off his hands and said.
Su Wanqiao: "..."
Meanwhile, Bai Jingze on the ground was furious, "Ugh! What the hell are you all doing standing there? Get him! Take him down!"
Following Bai Jingze's order, about a dozen Bai Family bodyguards ferociously charged at them!
Seeing the bad situation, Lin Shuang quickly grabbed Su Wanqiao and ran towards the banquet hall exit!
Su Wanqiao was completely confused… being pulled by this man and rushed straight out of the banquet hall hotel…
Outside the hotel door, a group of security guards tried to stop them, but Lin Shuang, like a wild buffalo, knocked them flying away.
He pulled Su Wanqiao into the car and immediately sped away at high speed…
Behind them, the Bai Family bodyguards quickly started their cars and pursued them… but Lin Shuang showcased his superb driving skills with drifting and turning on the streets, effectively shaking off the group of Bai Family bodyguards…
In the front passenger seat, Su Wanqiao looked at the man driving with a complicated gaze. This security guard was far from ordinary.
"Ding-a-ling!" Just then, Su Wanqiao's phone suddenly rang. Picking it up, she saw it was a call from Bai Jingze.
Su Wanqiao hesitated for a few seconds before answering.
"Su Wanqiao! Just try to flee the wedding tonight! If you don't fulfill the marriage agreement, I guarantee I won't let the Su Family get away with it! Can your family withstand the Bai Family's retaliation?!" From the other end of the phone, Bai Jingze's angry threat came.
Su Wanqiao angrily retorted, "Bai Jingze, I would rather marry a security guard… than marry you! Go ahead and try to retaliate? Who's afraid of who?!"
Having said her piece, she hung up the phone and blacklisted Bai Jingze's number.
This time, it was Lin Shuang's turn to look at her in astonishment, not expecting this woman… to have such a fiery temper.
Half an hour later, Lin Shuang drove Su Wanqiao back home to the top wealthy district in Hai City, Yunxi Rose Manor.
"You did a great job tonight. I'll add 1,000 to your bonus this month," Su Wanqiao said, pleased as she got out of the car, and added a reminder. "Oh, and don't forget to pick me up on time at seven tomorrow morning. You can take the car back."
After she went into the villa, Lin Shuang then drove away…
…
That night, Lin Shuang did not go home but drove to the Third Hospital of Hai City.
He walked into the ICU. Grandma Xu was lying on the hospital bed with an oxygen mask on her face, still in a coma, having not yet awakened.
Every week, Lin Shuang dedicated several days to visit Grandma Xu at the hospital.
Sitting in front of the hospital bed, Lin Shuang pulled out a yellowed old photograph from his wallet.
The background of the photograph was an old orphanage. In front of the courtyard of the orphanage, Grandma Xu was hugging a ten-year-old Lin Shuang and another little girl, capturing this trio in a snapshot.
"Grandma Xu, how have you been lately? I've been looking for her for a long time but still haven't found any trace of her. I only know her nickname is 'Baking Soda'… Can't find any clues," Lin Shuang murmured as he looked at the photograph.
In front of the hospital bed, Grandma Xu remained comatose, unable to speak in her vegetative state.
"Where could you be after twenty years?" Lin Shuang pondered, gazing at the little girl in the photo. Twenty years ago, when he was at the children's welfare home… he had a severe illness that required a bone marrow transplant. He was saved by the eight-year-old girl in the photo. This girl had voluntarily donated bone marrow blood to Lin Shuang, allowing him to survive.
Now, twenty years later, he had been searching for this girl in Hai City, hoping to properly repay her. But he had found nothing.
However, looking at the girl in the photo, Lin Shuang felt a sense of familiarity… Could it be that she resembles the sisters from the Su Family conglomerate?
But Lin Shuang quickly shook his head. That was impossible; he was overthinking it.
"I will definitely find you," Lin Shuang murmured, staring at the photo.
…
The next morning at seven o'clock.
Lin Shuang arrived early at Rose Manor, picked up the sisters Su Wanqiao and Su Zhiyan, and drove the Bentley towards the Su Family conglomerate.
All the way there, Su Zhiyan kept staring at Lin Shuang with a weird look.
"Is there something on my face?" Lin Shuang finally couldn't resist asking.
Su Zhiyan asked with complexity, "Did you really hit Bai Jingze last night?"
Lin Shuang was taken aback. This little girl knew about it too?
"Yes, he was bullying Su total. Naturally, I had to vent anger for Su total," Lin Shuang replied, about to pull out a cigarette to light it. But he was promptly stared down by a look from Su Wanqiao and hastily stuffed the cigarette back into his pocket.
"Don't smoke while driving, or you'll be fined 200!" Su Wanqiao said coldly.
Lin Shuang pursed his lips, forced to suppress his craving for a smoke.
He drove the Bentley and slowly stopped at a red light intersection.
But just then, from both sides of the road, four black cars suddenly accelerated and charged fiercely towards the Bentley!
From behind on the road, two more cars rushed forward quickly!
An ambush?!
Seeing this, the faces of the Su sisters changed dramatically!
"Brace yourselves!" Lin Shuang shouted, shifting gears and stepping on the gas pedal hard!
The Bentley swiftly performed a drift and dodged the impact from two cars!
The Bentley suddenly accelerated and sped away!
From behind, eight Volkswagen cars also suddenly picked up speed, chasing fiercely after the Bentley!
