The villainous second male lead at the beginning? No! He's the white moonlight!

"Have you heard? The young master of the Ye family has returned to the Ye family."

"I've heard about it, I've heard about it. It's such a big deal. I've heard about it for a while now. Oh, what a pity."

"It's a real pity. With him around, the Ye family could have prospered for decades more. If only he had died at their hands!"

"Yes, what a pity, what a pity!"

"If you ask me, it's the assassin's fault for not being good enough. He clearly had a gun, but he still couldn't kill a rich young master. If it were me, I would have killed him with two shots."

"Alright, alright, let's just talk about this in private. We can't let the eight great families hear it. They're all in cahoots. If they get angry, we won't be able to handle it."

"That's right, we're here for a charity auction, not to throw our lives away."

"Speaking of which, I heard that someone from the Su family is also coming."

"Really? Wasn't he kidnapped just the morning before yesterday? How come he has the nerve to attend a charity auction today? He's really bold."

"That's right. If it were me, I would have been scared to death. I wouldn't have been in the mood to attend the auction."

"So you two don't understand women. Is Su Shiyu attending an auction? She's going on a date with the young master of the Ye family. I heard that the young master of the Ye family will be attending today's charity auction."

"So that's how it is. I understand now. No wonder the head of the Su family, one of the eight great families, would personally attend a charity auction of this caliber."

"......"

In a corner of the auction hall, Lin Yan, dressed as a waiter, listened to the people around him discussing Ye Linyuan, the most talked-about figure in recent days, and sneered inwardly.

Ye Linyuan, did you hear that? It turns out that it's not just Mr. Zhao; others are also very dissatisfied with you. So, my actions against you are not just to repay a debt of gratitude, but also to uphold justice.

Having obtained Su Shiyu's upcoming schedule information from the Yorozuya, and based on his understanding of Su Shiyu and Ye Linyuan, he guessed that the two of them would definitely attend this charity auction.

After all, Ye Linyuan was the one who accompanied Su Shiyu to divorce Mr. Zhao. Given the relationship they showed back then, it would have been strange if they hadn't come together!

Unfortunately, the security level at this auction was quite high, unlike what one would expect from an auction of this caliber, which prevented me from bringing my gun in.

However, this is not a big problem. With his own abilities, even if he cannot kill Ye Linyuan on the spot, kidnapping Su Shiyu is still not a problem.

Once Su Shiyu is kidnapped, there's no need to worry about Ye Linyuan not complying!

Once Ye Linyuan is dealt with, Mr. Zhao and Su Shiyu will naturally be able to reconcile, and what happens after that will be none of his business—it will just be a matter of the couple bickering and making up.

"Hopefully nothing goes wrong today."

As Lin Yan moved among the various so-called successful people, he constantly kept an eye on his surroundings, as well as the surveillance cameras and security personnel in every corner.

A successful person must consider all aspects, especially whether they have a backup plan in case of failure.

But the more he looked, the more uneasy he felt.

There are far too many security personnel at this venue, and these people don't seem like ordinary security guards. Every single one of them has much more energy and spirit than the average security guard!

They're practically like... soldiers?

Could I have fallen into a trap?

Upon thinking of this, Lin Yan's expression changed slightly, and he was already having second thoughts.

He did want to repay the debt of gratitude, but the premise of repaying the debt of gratitude was not to endanger his personal safety. He was not going to risk his life to repay the debt of gratitude!

Well, this is a rare opportunity. If we miss this one, the next one at Grandma Su's birthday banquet might not be a good chance. So, let's find outside help...

Meanwhile, in the monitoring room, Ye Linyuan and a large group of people crowded in front of the screen, carefully observing the actions of everyone on the screen.

"Mr. Ye, how's it going? Have you found the person who attacked you?"

Wang Zhan, the director of the Public Security Bureau, smiled like a chrysanthemum as he asked Ye Linyuan, but inwardly he was cursing.

These rich young ladies are such a nuisance. Why are they trying to lure out the snake? Can't they at least consider the needs of public officials like him?

I'm retiring soon next year. If something goes wrong at this crucial moment, I won't be able to get a promotion next year!

For public officials like him, there is no such thing as a good or bad retirement rank; the higher the retirement rank, the higher the pension!

He doesn't want to have to worry about not having enough income in his retirement.

"Not yet. Perhaps they're afraid of Director Wang's reputation, so they don't dare to come?"

Ye Linyuan casually offered a compliment, but the smile in his eyes didn't reach its full extent.

He had already seen Lin Yan, but he didn't intend to say anything.

If he reveals it and Lin Yan gets arrested by the police, how will he get revenge?

He suffered so much; if he doesn't avenge this, he'll hold onto it for the rest of his life!

"Mr. Ye, please stop belittling me. I know my own limitations. With my abilities, it's already a stroke of luck that I've managed to reach the position of Director of the Public Security Bureau. I can't handle those vicious terrorists."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ruoxi, who was standing next to the two, couldn't help but chuckle.

"Director Wang is quite self-aware. Don't worry, we've made very thorough arrangements this time. As long as the other party dares to show up, we'll definitely be able to catch him."

Luo Qingyue nodded as well.

"Excellent, this time it's absolutely foolproof. Besides your police department personnel, there are also elite soldiers in the venue! They're all itching to catch these terrorists!"

"Alright, alright, stop talking. It's getting late. I'll go into the venue with Sister Shiyu first. You two continue to look around here for any suspicious people. If you find any..."

Ye Linyuan didn't finish his sentence; instead, he gave a wink to everyone except Wang Zhan.

Luo Qingyue, Luo Qingxuan, Xiao Ruoxi, An Wangshu, and Leng Qinghan all nodded almost imperceptibly, leaving only Wang Zhan, who was still completely unaware of what was going on.

Standing in front of the auction hall, Su Shiyu looked at Ye Linyuan, unable to hide the smile on her lips.

"What's wrong, Sister Shiyu? Why are you so happy?"

Instead of answering Ye Linyuan's question directly, Su Shiyu reached out and hugged his arm, smiling brightly.

"Hehehe, it's nothing, A-Yuan, this is probably the first time we've publicly shown affection, right?"
