CH: 63 Don't think about us leaving!

{Chapter: 63 Don't think about us leaving!}

He quickly pieced together the situation after listening to her account.

Li Si and Zhang Shan were characters that had appeared in the original novel.

These two people were despicable, selfish, and entirely lacking in empathy.

When Qiu Wanxi was a child, they had extorted her parents' money and then abandoned her when she fell ill.

According to the original plot, it would have taken months for these two to find her, as her life was starting to improve.

But with Lin Yuan's involvement, Qiu Wanxi had managed to open a prosperous cake shop earlier than anyone expected.

And now, these two had appeared much earlier than they should have.

"Master, please go inside and help the manager!" Xiao Lian said urgently, her voice laced with concern as she stood by the door.

Lin Yuan, however, wasn't in a hurry. He took his time, standing at the entrance and listening to the heated argument inside for nearly half a minute. He could clearly hear Li Si and Zhang Shan as they continued their relentless pressure and threats toward Qiu Wanxi.

Inside, the tension was palpable. Li Si and Zhang Shan, like vultures circling their prey, were trying to force Qiu Wanxi to sell the cake shop, each word they spoke dripping with disdain. But to their surprise, Qiu Wanxi remained unyielding, her resolve unwavering. She refused to sell, no matter what they said.

Lin Yuan stood with his arms folded, his face an inscrutable mask. His eyes were narrowed, but his expression betrayed nothing of his thoughts. After what felt like an eternity, he gave a small nod of approval.

He wasn't worried about Qiu Wanxi agreeing to sell the shop—such an outcome was impossible. What concerned him, however, was her character. For a long time, she had carried a deep sense of inferiority, something that made her susceptible to manipulation. But today, something was different. As he listened from outside, Lin Yuan noticed the subtle change in her demeanor.

Qiu Wanxi had changed. She was braver than when they had first met. Back then, she had been hesitant and uncertain, like a fragile flower in a storm. But now, she stood firm, facing down her aunt and uncle with a determination that was new, even to Lin Yuan. She no longer cowered in their presence, as she once might have.

But still, the two persistent relatives seemed too much for her to handle alone. Their words, sharp and accusing, echoed in the room. That was when Lin Yuan decided to intervene.

As he entered the shop, his presence was immediately felt. Qiu Wanxi's eyes brightened with relief when she saw him. Without a moment's hesitation, she rushed toward him, a wide smile spreading across her face.

"Master, you're here!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with surprise and gratitude.

Lin Yuan gently patted her on the head, a small, reassuring smile playing on his lips. "Yes, I'm here," he said, his voice calm and steady, as though nothing could unsettle him.

Meanwhile, Li Si and Zhang Shan, who had been hoping to pressure Qiu Wanxi into giving up, immediately shifted their focus to Lin Yuan. They were quick to point their fingers at him, their voices loud and accusatory.

"Who are you?" Li Si sneered. "Are you here to help Qiu Wanxi who refuses to sell? I'm telling you, if she doesn't sell to us today, we won't leave!"

Zhang Shan, not to be outdone, added with equal venom, "That's right! Don't even think about us leaving without the shop!"

Their words were dripping with the arrogance of people who thought they could bully others into submission. They seemed oblivious to the fact that their tactics were no longer effective against Qiu Wanxi, or that their presence had just become irrelevant in the face of someone far more powerful.

However, the couple's ignorance didn't go unnoticed by everyone in the room. The moment Boss Zhang laid eyes on Lin Yuan, his face drained of color. A cold sweat broke out across his forehead as he took in Lin Yuan's impeccable appearance. The man was dressed in an exquisite suit and wore a limited edition Patek Philippe watch—his outfit alone was worth tens of millions.

But it wasn't just Lin Yuan's wealth that caused the shift in the atmosphere; it was his aura. The calm, self-assured demeanor he exuded made it clear that he was someone of great importance.

While Li Si and Zhang Shan were still too dense to recognize the gravity of the situation, Boss Zhang couldn't help but recall the man he had seen in the newspapers—the stock prodigy, Young Master Lin Yuan. The realization hit him like a cold slap to the face.

But Li Si and Zhang Shan, still convinced of their own superiority, continued their attempts to intimidate Lin Yuan. They were too ignorant to grasp the truth of their situation, and too arrogant to realize they were in over their heads.

Lin Yuan, on the other hand, wasn't bothered in the slightest. He didn't even acknowledge their petty threats, instead choosing to ignore them completely. To him, they were nothing more than insects crawling around beneath his notice. There was no need to waste time or energy on such insignificant pests.

With a simple motion, Lin Yuan clapped his hands once, a sound that echoed through the space.

At his signal, four security guards, who had been waiting outside, immediately stepped inside. These guards worked for the China World Trade Center, which was owned by the Lin Group. They recognized Lin Yuan instantly, and their demeanor shifted from neutral to obedient the moment they saw him.

Li Si and Zhang Shan, who had been bold and threatening moments before, now began to panic as the security guards entered the room. Their earlier bravado evaporated, and they started to backtrack, fear creeping into their voices.

"What are you doing?!" Li Si shouted, her voice laced with panic. "What do you think you're going to do?!"

"I want to go! I want to leave! Don't touch me!" Zhang Shan added, his voice trembling with fear.

They scrambled to get up, but before they could make any further movements, the security guards swiftly moved in and pressed them back to the ground. The couple's protests were met with cold indifference, their actions now useless in the face of Lin Yuan's authority.

The security guards made no attempt to be gentle as they restrained them, their firm grips ensuring that Li Si and Zhang Shan were unable to escape.

It was clear now that they were no longer in control of the situation. Lin Yuan had arrived, and their days of harassing Qiu Wanxi were over.

Despite their struggles, there was no chance for the couple to escape. The cake shop, the scene of their scheming and threats, had now become their prison.
