Chapter 97: Chapter 97: Two Choices
Within a few minutes, these people had arrived at a secluded place with Lin Yun and his two bodyguards.
Their arrival had been relayed ahead of time, and there were already many people gathered at the spot.
"With so many of us, we can definitely deal with Lin Yun."
A young man in the crowd muttered excitedly.
Had Lin Yun seen this young man, he would have recognized him. The young man was formerly his employee, Zhong Liang.
Zhong Liang's psyche was now twisted.
Even though Lin Yun had once helped him, he was not grateful. Worse still, he continuously plotted against Lin Yun, harboring a grudge.
This was the typical mentality of a traitor, and in Zhong Liang's case, it was taken to extremes.
Lin Yun was around the same age as they were.
But Lin Yun, not only was he skilled, his business also ran decent, and he was their boss. This made him envious.
When Lin Yun's business took a downturn, his envy had fully manifested.
He had led the workers in leaving Lin Yun's factory. thanks for reading on m|v|l|e|m|p|y|r
Later on, he targeted Lin Yun even more.
The more Lin Yun prospered, the more unbearable the traitor's obsession became.
In his mind, his decision to betray was wise. He assumed that the man he had betrayed would be worthless.
He couldn't stand it.
Hence, he yearned to harm Lin Yun, hoping to see Lin Yun reduced to nothing. Only then would he have a sense of accomplishment.
A sense of accomplishment drawn from betrayal.
It goes without saying, his mentality was rather perverse.
At one point, when others started blaming him for leading them away from Lin Yun's factory, he encouraged Wang Wenchang to deal with Lin Yun.
On the other hand, Zhengqi Lee, who stood beside him, was a bit nervous.
He was there in Lin Yun's factory, waiting for Lin Yun to pay the workers. Back then, he and Zhong Liang had together mocked Ding Wei and Little Mei.
However, his psychological quality was not as good as Zhong Liang's.
He was now quite nervous.
The mentality of traitors is unique, they didn't want to see Lin Yun do well, but they feared seeing him again.
This time, he did not want to come.
But he couldn't resist Zhong Liang's constant invitations, and he followed along.
A car drove up and stopped.
Many of those present recognized it as Lin Yun's car.
They had been ambushing Lin Yun these few days. They were familiar with what Lin Yun's car looked like.
Many of them started to become excited.
"He's here, he's here," someone said excitedly.
"Damn, he dares to offend Brother Chang. He's courting death. This time, we must kill him," someone shouted loudly, eager to express loyalty and to demonstrate his might.
"Brother Chang treats us just like his own brothers. If Lin Yun dares to go against Brother Chang, he is our enemy. We need to teach him a lesson," another shouted.
Amidst an atmosphere of "loyalty," they hurriedly surrounded Lin Yun's car.
They feared that if they moved slowly, they wouldn't seem aggressive enough.
"Bang--"
Lin Yun opened the car door and got out with a calm expression on his face, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.
About fifty people. He hadn't realized that Wang Wenchang had such capability.
However, an army of rabble was of no use, no matter how numerous.
He could easily tell, among these people, many were just making up the numbers. Their overall strength along with the riff-raff that gave him trouble last time, was not on par.
"Wang Wenchang?"
Lin Yun lifted his gaze and looked at a man not far away, and asked casually.
Wang Wenchang, leading a group of over ten people, walked confidently towards him.
The quality of these people was much better, they looked like professional fighters, similar to the thugs who had troubled him before.
"Lin Yun, I didn't expect you to be so bold as to come here," Wang Wenchang said, smirking coldly.
"I'm giving you two choices. The first, I cripple you, and then watch your crawl home. Or second, tell me the source of your Green Cloud power banks and dissolve your small workshop. I'll then let you walk back home," Wang Wenchang said haughtily.
In his opinion, he held all the cards.
In essence, he offered these two choices just because he wanted to know the sources of Lin Yun's goods.
In his mind, once he knew the sourcing channel, he could replace Lin Yun as the new agent.
Green Cloud power banks, with such impressive numbers, and a wholesale price of only a hundred and eight, it was practically a steal.
If he were in charge, he was certain he could do better. Who wouldn't want to earn more money?
As for Lin Yun, regardless of whether he revealed his suppliers for the Green Cloud power banks, Wang Wenchang had no intention of letting him off the hook.
At the very least, he would cripple Lin Yun.
A calculated confrontation with Lin Yun had resulted in a considerable grudge between them.
Given Lin Yun's outstanding abilities, he would live in constant fear if Lin Yun were to walk away unscathed.
If Lin Yun were crippled, he would have nothing more to worry about.
What threat could a disabled man pose?
As for the legal implications -
As long as you had money, scapegoats were not hard to find, right?
He never intended to get his hands dirty, he wasn't afraid of any repercussions.
"Lin Yun, why aren't you quickly giving up the source of the Green Cloud power banks, and begging mercy from Brother Chang? If Brother Chang shows mercy, he might leave you some money for your trip back home," Zhong Liang stood in front of the group. Seeing that Lin Yun ignored him, his blood heated up and he took a step forward, shouting.
"Just relying on this motley crew? And if I choose neither of the two options?" Lin Yun glanced at Zhong Liang and spoke dismissively.
"You think you're a tough guy? We also have a master!" Zhong Liang's response was immediate, seeing Lin Yun again dismiss his words, his face burned with humiliation.
He had witnessed Lin Yun's fighting prowess and admitted it was formidable.
However, the master that Wang Wenchang had summoned lent them considerable strength. With just one hand, the newcomer had beaten five or six of Wang Wenchang's fighters.
He believed that with so many of them, on top of having such a master, taking down Lin Yun would be a piece of cake.
"Arkin, aren't you here yet?" Wang Wenchang frowned and turned to look at one of his subordinates.
"He stepped out for a bit, he's on his way back!" The subordinate replied.
"He's here, Brother Jin is here!" Suddenly, one of the subordinates shouted.
"Sorry, I'm late!" A man hurried over, immediately apologizing.
"Bro! I don't allow you to fight with anyone anymore! If you keep doing this, even if I die of sickness, I won't spend a penny on treatment," a girlish voice rang out.
Only now did the crowd notice a girl hanging onto the man's arm tightly.
"I know, I just came to watch!" The man quickly replied.
"It's... it's you!" The next moment, the man looked up, and upon seeing Lin Yun, his face drained of color, and he cried out in surprise.
