You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

Under the deathly silence of the entire audience, Lin Chen made a move.

His first step took everyone by surprise.

He didn't approach Su Qingge, who had the strongest aura, nor did he approach Ye Qingcheng, who had the highest status.

He walked straight to the far right, to Jiang Tingxue, who had a cool and aloof demeanor and seemed the least aggressive.

Su Qingge's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

Ye Qingcheng's eyes, hidden behind her sunglasses, also turned colder.

Lin Chen, however, seemed completely oblivious.

With the most sincere and natural smile on his face, under the gaze of those clear yet slightly nervous eyes, he reached out and took the thermos that Jiang Tingxue was holding in her palm, which was already a little warm.

"Thank you for your hard work, Tingxue."

His voice was gentle, with just the right amount of weariness.

Then, he unscrewed the lid, and without even smelling it, tilted his head back and drank the warm medicine in the bucket in one gulp.

Glug, glug.

His movements were bold and unrestrained, without the slightest hesitation.

After finishing his drink, he even smacked his lips as if he wanted more, and then gave Jiang Tingxue a big thumbs up.

"Absolutely amazing!"

Lin Chen's praise came from the bottom of his heart, without a trace of hypocrisy.

"The cooking time for this medicinal dish is crucial; too much heat and it's overcooked, too little and it's undercooked. The proportions of the medicinal ingredients are also exquisitely precise!"

"It's smooth on the palate and has a sweet aftertaste. I feel like most of the fatigue from the past few days has instantly disappeared!"

He paused, staring intently at Jiang Tingxue, his tone filled with amazement.

"With your culinary skills combined with your medical expertise, it's a waste that you're not the chief medicinal cuisine chef for state banquets!"

Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Jiang Tingxue's perpetually icy face visibly flushed with a beautiful blush.

The blush spread from her cheeks to her snow-white ears, making her look incredibly beautiful.

All her anxiety and unease were instantly soothed by Lin Chen's incredibly precise praise and his bold gesture of downing the drink in one gulp.

Her efforts were seen, affirmed, and accepted without reservation.

For someone like Jiang Tingxue, this is more effective than any sweet words.

The frigid iceberg melted completely at that moment.

She lowered her head, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, her voice barely audible.

"As long as you... you like it."

Step one, perfectly achieved.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Chen, holding the empty thermos, turned around very naturally and came to Su Ke'er.

Faced with this youthful and invincible little fan, the solemnity on his face instantly turned into gentle tenderness and doting affection.

He reached out his large hand, ignoring the girl's instantly expectant gaze, and in an extremely "wicked" manner, gave her neatly combed pigtails a hard squeeze.

"ah!"

Su Ke'er exclaimed in surprise, her hair instantly turning into a bird's nest.

She was about to complain when she met Lin Chen's smiling eyes.

"Our Kerr's support sign is really well made!"

Lin Chen's eyes were so gentle they could almost drip water. He pointed to the huge fluorescent sign and praised it sincerely.

"I saw it the moment I stepped out of the station!"

"The most eye-catching, the most meticulous, and the most beautiful of all! My brother really likes it!"

The girl's slight resentment over her messed-up hairstyle vanished instantly.

Instead, they are replaced by endless happiness and contentment.

Her eyes instantly sparkled with countless tiny stars, and she was so happy she almost fainted on the spot.

"Hehe... I'm glad you like it, brother! I spent all night making it!"

The second step is easy to complete.

The next second, Lin Chen didn't stop and arrived in front of the imposing Rolls-Royce Phantom.

When he faced Ye Qingcheng, all the gentle and doting smiles on his face vanished instantly.

Instead, there was an unprecedented solemnity, seriousness, and even a touch of respect.

He didn't get too close, maintaining a polite and respectful distance, and bowed slightly.

This action caused Ye Qingcheng's phoenix eyes, hidden behind her sunglasses, to twitch slightly.

"Mr. Ye."

Lin Chen's voice was deep and powerful.

"Thank you for your help this time."

He didn't use many fancy words; he simply expressed his gratitude in the most straightforward and direct way.

"Without your fleet, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Lin Chen will remember this kindness.

He raised his head, looking directly into Ye Qingcheng's sunglasses, his tone resolute.

"In my heart, you will always be the most trustworthy and irreplaceable support."

Irreplaceable!

These four words struck Ye Qingcheng's heart with perfect precision.

Who is she?

The Queen of the Yip Group!

She doesn't need cheap thanks or insincere flattery.

What she wanted was this unique, recognized, and supreme status!

Ye Qingcheng's lips finally couldn't help but curve upwards slightly.

She took off her sunglasses, revealing her sharp and beautiful phoenix eyes, and gave a haughty snort.

"Hmph, good to know."

Even so, the intensely pleased sweetness and smile deep in her eyes could not be concealed.

The third step is complete.

Finally, and most importantly.

Lin Chen, as if it were just a casual greeting, turned around and strode over to Su Qingge's Mengshi jeep.

At that moment, Su Qingge's expression had already turned somewhat unpleasant.

Lin Chen went around in circles, but he put her last, which made the flames of possessiveness in her heart burn even brighter.

However, Lin Chen's next move instantly dispelled all her dissatisfaction.

He didn't speak.

There was no explanation.

He simply reached out and yanked open the passenger door of the Jeep.

Then, he boldly plopped down inside.

The car door slammed shut with a "bang".

He turned his head, looked at Su Qingge who was staring in astonishment outside the car, and delivered his impeccable reason in an unquestionable tone.

"What are you waiting for? Get in the car!"

"This case involves top secret, and I must immediately return to the Municipal Public Security Bureau's Major Crimes Unit to give you and Captain Zhang a complete case closure statement in person!"

He paused, lowered his voice, and added in a volume only the two of them could hear:

"There are many things that happened on the ship that we need to review with you."

"This is discipline!"

Business!

discipline!

And that double entendre, "review"!

This reason is so perfect it's flawless!

Su Qingge looked at the man who was already sitting in the passenger seat with an air of superiority, and at his domineering and self-righteous demeanor.

All the grievances and dissatisfaction vanished in an instant.

Instead, a tremendous, victorious euphoria filled the air!

He talked for a while, and in the end, he got into my car!

He remembers what happened between us!

Su Qingge's lips finally curled into a genuine, slightly smug, victorious smile.

She casually opened the car door, got into the driver's seat, and then, amidst envious and jealous stares, stepped on the gas!

"boom--!"

The military jeep's engine roared to life as it sped away.

A series of flawless maneuvers, executed with perfect fluidity and precision.

He is a textbook example of a master of balancing things!

The three women who remained in place could still feel the tension in the air, but each of them got what they wanted, and their emotional value was instantly maximized.

All are happy.

Only behind that camphor tree in the distance.

Li Mingyu stared blankly at the taillights of the departing Jeep, then glanced at the other three stunning beauties who, though still secretly competing, had clearly been calmed down.

His mind went blank.

Why...

Why is this happening...?

He couldn't understand why the goddess he had pursued so desperately, whom he couldn't even get a smile from, would display such vivid emotions in front of that man.

He couldn't understand why the world was so unfair!

The humiliation of being ignored, and the overwhelming jealousy of having his beloved stolen away, ultimately transformed into a despair that shattered all his dignity.

He watched helplessly as the four women, each radiant and dazzling, all revolved around the same man, while he himself seemed like a clown hiding in the shadows, even his jealousy appearing laughable.

"puff--!"

Li Mingyu felt a sweet taste in his throat and could no longer suppress the surge of blood rushing to his head, so he spat out a mouthful of blood.

It's black in front of you.

He fell straight backward and fainted completely beside the fragrant flower bed.
