I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

Lin Chen's heart trembled. He didn't expect that this gangster could find him even here.

"Why is the gangster so obsessed with me?" Lin Chen asked coldly.

The Black Bear Gang leader sneered, "Of course, you have to meet the master to know what the master means. If you know what's good for you, Mr. Lin, just follow me. Otherwise..."

Lin Chen raised his eyebrows, "How else?"

"Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude." As the gang leader said this, a dozen gang members behind him immediately drew their weapons and stared at Lin Chen and his group with murderous eyes.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "What if I don't go?"

"Then don't blame me for taking action!" The gang leader shouted and swung his knife at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen dodged the blow easily, and at the same time, he struck the opponent in the chest with a backhand palm. The gang leader was obviously quite skilled, and dodged sideways, and the blade attacked Lin Chen again.

A melee erupted instantly. Although Lin Chen's group was slightly smaller in number, each of them was exceptionally skilled, and they quickly gained the upper hand. Seeing this, the gang leader gnashed his teeth and shouted at Lin Chen, "Mr. Lin, don't think you can escape the clutches of the gang boss just like that!"

Lin Chen repelled it with a palm strike and said coldly, "Tell your master that I, Lin Chen, am never afraid of any threats. If you want to see me, you can come openly and honestly. There's no need to resort to such despicable tactics!"

Seeing the situation was not good, the gang leader gave an order and fled with the remaining gang members. Lin Chen did not pursue them, but continued to move forward with everyone.

"Why is this gangster so obsessed with you?" Yun Shu asked in confusion.

Lin Chen shook his head. "I don't know either. Since the time I left the Princess's Mansion, his men have been following me, seemingly determined to see me."

"Could it be

The next morning, when the first rays of sunlight streamed into the room, Lu Yining was already dressed, ready to take on new challenges. She arrived at the company, and before she even stepped into the building, she was surrounded by a group of colleagues.

"Vice President Lu, good morning! I heard that yesterday's meeting ended successfully?" A young woman said excitedly, with admiration and envy in her eyes.

"Thank you, everything is fine." Lu Yining responded with a smile, trying to make his voice sound confident. "By the way, I have an important business meeting today. Is everyone ready?"

"Of course!" The colleagues answered in unison, everyone's eyes full of anticipation.

As soon as they entered the elevator, a senior employee whispered to the person next to them, "See? Our new vice president is really something. He's established himself so quickly."

The other nodded in agreement, "Yeah, and she's still so young... I hope she doesn't get targeted by anyone."

After thinking for a moment, she answered firmly, "Let's do it in our company. This way we can ensure safety while also taking the initiative."

The few of them spent the next few days discussing specific plans, including how to deal with various possible situations. In the end, everyone unanimously decided to support Lu Yining's proposal.

Around 2 p.m., representatives from the foreign companies arrived as scheduled. Leading the group was a tall, handsome man in a sharp suit, his face radiating a certain arrogance. The receptionist recognized him the moment he entered: "Oh, is this the famous Mr. Michael? You look quite impressive!"

A colleague next to him murmured, "Is this the legendary tough guy? He certainly looks quite imposing."

The receptionist immediately led Michael to the conference room door, where a sign reading "In Meeting" was hung. She knocked twice, then slowly opened it after receiving permission...

The room was full of people, but everyone was looking at the woman sitting in the front row—Lu Yining. She calmly stared at Michael who had just entered the room, her eyes revealing unquestionable power.

"Please sit down, Mr. Michael." Her tone was calm but still majestic.

Michael frowned slightly, obviously a little surprised by this scene. He sat down slowly and said with a smile, "I didn't expect Vice President Lu to receive me in person. It's such an honor."

"Of course, this cooperation is very important to both of us." Lu Yining responded calmly, and at the same time signaled to his colleagues with his eyes not to be nervous.

The meeting dragged on for a long time, with both sides engaging in heated discussions over their respective interests. The entire process was extremely tense, with little room for compromise. Finally, Lu Yining proposed a new plan, temporarily easing the situation.

"I think we can start by collaborating on small projects. This way, we can protect the interests of both parties and reduce unnecessary conflicts. What do you think?"

Michael pondered for a long time, and finally smiled: "Okay, I agree. But this is just the first step. No one can predict what will happen in the future."

After the meeting, when everyone was leaving, Lu Yining stood by the window and stared into the distance. At this time, her cell phone rang, and the screen showed that it was a call from her mother.

"Hey, Mom, what's going on?"

"Yining, come back early for dinner tonight. Your dad wants to see you too... Also, remember to be safe."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yining took a deep breath, a hint of tenderness flashing in her eyes. Although the road ahead was unknown, she believed that as long as she was strong enough, there would be no difficulties that could not be overcome.

Just as she was about to pack up and leave work, her secretary knocked on the door and came in to report, "Mr. Lu, I just received a notice that several media outlets want to interview you tomorrow."

Upon hearing this news, Lu Yining suddenly cheered up: "That's great! Please help me arrange all the details. We must seize this opportunity."

However, just when everything seemed to be going in the right direction, a pair of eyes were quietly watching everything in the corner...

"It seems that the plan needs to be adjusted." The man muttered to himself, with a sly smile on his lips.

Meanwhile, in another office, Lin Han was gazing gloomily out the window, a document in hand. Suddenly, he made a phone call: "Everything is proceeding according to plan. Tomorrow's interview is a good opportunity. We must put her in a difficult position."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Han's eyes flashed with ruthlessness: "Lu Yining, your good days are over."

The next morning, Lu Yining drove to the company, her heart filled with excitement and anticipation. She calmed herself down in the car, preparing for the upcoming interview. However, when she arrived, she found a group of anxious reporters already gathered in the lobby.

A reporter ran over and asked anxiously, "Vice President Lu, are you in trouble? Someone exposed your privacy online, saying there's some unfavorable evidence against you."

Lu Yining was stunned. She took a deep breath and replied calmly, "I don't know the details yet, but we will find out the truth as soon as possible. I believe that the innocent will be cleared."
