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

On the other side, in an inconspicuous corner of Haicheng, three figures gathered. If Ye Linyuan were here, he would definitely recognize that two of these three figures were the kidnappers he had casually knocked unconscious.

The last one was Lin Yan, the Dragon King of the Dragon King Palace who shot and wounded him.

"What a bunch of useless trash! Didn't you two say Ye Linyuan was drugged? How come he woke up so quickly?"

Lin Yan looked at his two subordinates and instantly became furious.

"He's just a rich kid. You two have both worked with me in the Middle East, how come you can't even keep an eye on a rich kid!"

"And didn't you say that the sleeping potion you concocted could even knock out an elephant? Don't tell me that Ye Linyuan is stronger than an elephant."

Listening to the Dragon King's angry curses, the two kidnappers were actually quite aggrieved. The sleeping potion they had prepared was absolutely safe. Although it was a bit of an exaggeration to say that it could knock out an elephant, it was no problem to dilute it and knock out seven or eight people.

But that pervert Ye Linyuan, despite being injected with this drug, woke up after being unconscious for less than 10 minutes.

That's not all. Normally, when a person is drugged, it takes some time to recover and they won't be able to exert any strength during that time. But he seemed to have no recovery period at all, knocking them both down almost instantly.

Is that guy really human?

"Dragon King, this is really not my fault. That guy clearly has a health problem."

One of the kidnappers, his face flushed, defended himself.

"Health problems? Old Sun, are you kidding me? You're not going to tell me he's had gene injections, are you? Can you watch less sci-fi movies? This is the real world, not science fiction. Where would you find any gene injections?"

The kidnapper, known as Old Sun, lost face instantly after hearing Lin Yan's scathing rebuke.

"No, Dragon King, that guy's body really has a problem. Think about it, if a normal person is drugged, even if they are given an antidote, it would take them a while to recover, right? But that guy was like he wasn't drugged at all. He recovered almost instantly and beat me and Lao Qian so badly that we couldn't get up."

Old Qian nodded immediately.

"Yes, Dragon King, that guy is clearly not normal. I suspect he is a super soldier specially trained by the Dragon Kingdom."

Lin Yan was truly about to lose his mind from his two idiot subordinates. What kind of nonsense was this? Gene serum, super soldiers? Why not just call him an alien Ultraman!

"Alright, you two idiots, isn't it possible that the drug you gave him never actually hit his system, and that he was faking it from the start!"

Upon hearing Lin Yan's words, Lao Qian and Lao Sun were clearly taken aback for a moment, then looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally showed expressions of sudden realization.

"The Dragon King is indeed wise; it must be so."

"I knew it! How could a person be that strong? Even a drug strong enough to subdue an elephant only knocked him out for less than 10 minutes. He was faking it all!"

Lin Yan:...

Forget it, even if my people are a bit stupid, they're still my people. I can't just take action against them because they're stupid...

"Alright, there's no use saying anything now. Let's think about how to find Ye Linyuan."

"Dragon King, I really don't understand why we kidnapped Ye Linyuan. Isn't he just an ordinary rich second-generation? If we need money, wouldn't it be faster and easier to kidnap the son of a nouveau riche? If you have a grudge against him, Dragon King, you could have just shot him and taken care of him back then, and there wouldn't be so much trouble."

"Yes, Dragon King, kidnapping Ye Linyuan will not only bring no benefit to our Dragon King Palace, but will also cause a lot of trouble. I heard that the powerful and wealthy circles in Haicheng have been in an uproar, especially the four major families of Ye, Su, Xiao and Gu, who have already dispatched countless people to search for Ye Linyuan's whereabouts throughout the city."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan's face darkened even more. He now regretted why he hadn't shot Ye Linyuan dead from the start, but instead had chosen to drug him and take him to a secluded place before dealing with him.

They shouldn't have even targeted Ye Linyuan in the first place.

But he couldn't say such things to his subordinates, otherwise, where would his authority as the Dragon King of the Dragon King Palace be? How could he suppress the four dragon heads of the Dragon King Palace in the east, west, south and north?

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Yan asked.

"You guys are all seasoned veterans, so let me ask you: for us old hands in this world, what's the most important thing?"

Old Qian and Old Sun looked at Lin Yan with suspicion.

"Of course it's money. As the saying goes, even a hero can be brought down by a penny."

"No, you can't take money with you when you're born or when you die. Enough is enough; there's no need to pursue too much."

"That's people. As the saying goes, many hands make light work. If our Dragon King Palace has enough people, then even overthrowing the regime is no problem."

"Get lost! Do you think this is ancient times? You think having more people means you can rebel? Do you think your numbers can compare to the number of bullets? Besides, our Dragon King Palace is based on elitism; having more people just makes us look bloated."

"What does the Dragon King think?"

"Of course, it's about seeking revenge and settling scores!"

"What?"

Lin Yan paused, his face slightly flushed.

"That Ye Linyuan has offended my benefactor. I'm going to tie him up and bring him before my benefactor, then kill him in front of him!"

Old Sun and Old Qian felt a lump in their throats, and they had a "MMP" in their mouths, but they didn't know whether they should say it or not.

After hesitating for a moment, Lao Qian spoke first.

"Um, Dragon King, I have a question. Does your benefactor want you to do this?"

Lin Yan shook his head.

"Nonsense, I already said he's my benefactor. People in our line of work can get into trouble at any time. How could I possibly associate myself with my benefactor? I just keep an eye on his situation."

Old Sun quickly followed up with a question.

"In other words, the other party is completely unaware of what you, Dragon King, have done."

"Of course, gratitude without expecting anything in return is a fine virtue of our generation."

Lin Yan felt slightly embarrassed when he recalled the scene of being saved by his benefactor back then.

Back then, to avoid implicating him, I casually gave him the phone card I was using at the time and told him a number I had seen on a telephone pole, but I didn't know what it was for.

He was also told that if he encountered anyone he wanted to deal with in the future, he should call this number, and if there was nothing else, he should not use this phone card.

Two days ago, a number associated with his original phone number sent him a message. He had called his benefactor's number, incurring phone charges, so he knew that his benefactor had someone he wanted to get rid of.

With a little investigation, one can immediately understand who one's benefactor wants to get rid of.

To avoid causing trouble for my benefactor, I'll just take care of the other person myself. At most, I'll let them die in front of my benefactor, so they can rest in peace.

Seeing the awkward expression on Lin Yan's face, Lao Sun and Lao Qian exchanged a glance, seeing the same thought in each other's eyes.

Well, who would have thought that their Dragon King is such a love-struck fool who gives without expecting anything in return?

"Understood, Dragon King. Rest assured, Old Sun and I have a plan for this matter. We will definitely handle it perfectly for you, without the slightest mistake."

"Yes, we're all looking forward to drinking the Dragon King's wedding wine."

Lin Yan: WTF? How did this get to my wedding banquet?

Looking at his two rather unreliable subordinates, Lin Yan couldn't help but ask.

"Don't rush, tell me your ideas first."

The two exchanged a glance, and Old Sun then revealed the remedial measures he had prepared beforehand.

"Dragon King, this is what happened. After receiving your orders yesterday, we began to track Ye Linyuan. This morning, Ye Linyuan picked up Su Shiyu, the head of the Su family, and took her to the Civil Affairs Bureau to process her divorce from her husband. During the process, he even got into a conflict with a group of old guys from the Su family because of Su Shiyu."

"So we believe that as long as we kidnap Su Shiyu, we won't have to worry about Ye Linyuan not coming out."

Lin Yan was completely dumbfounded.

Kidnapping Su Shiyu? Isn't that the same as kidnapping the ex-wife of one's benefactor?
