What? All the female protagonists have systems, but I don't?

"Master!"

Lin Yuan's driver arrived at his side at that moment.

The driver had been following Gu Qingyi since leaving the Ye family's residence. After Lin Yuan and Gu Qingyi entered the hotel, he waited there without leaving until he saw Lin Yuan come out.

"You've been waiting here, have you seen Gu Qingyi's bodyguard come out of the restaurant?"

With the two troublesome women gone, Lin Yuan finally relaxed completely. As a night breeze swept in, his mind cleared up somewhat.

“I see him, young master. Even if that bodyguard were reduced to ashes, I would still recognize him.”

Which way did he go?

"They went north."

"North..."

Upon hearing the driver's report, Lin Yuan frowned, because if he wanted to go home, he also had to head north, and it seemed that Long Haochen was planning to attack him halfway.

Regardless of the possibility, Lin Yuan did not intend to put himself in a dangerous situation.

"Let's go to Tianhua Mansion today!"

"Okay, Master."

Tianhua Mansion is located on the south side of Beicheng. It is a high-end villa area built specifically for the wealthy, and Lin Yuan owns a house there.

The car drove very smoothly on the road.

There were few vehicles on the road at midnight, so the speed naturally increased a bit. When passing an overpass, the driver suddenly slammed on the brakes.

The inertia caused Lin Yuan's entire body to lean forward uncontrollably, and his forehead hit the seat in front of him directly.

"what's the situation?"

Lin Yuan rubbed his forehead and looked up to see Long Haochen standing in front of the car, one foot on the hood, hands in his pockets, looking extremely pretentious.

"Master, are you okay?"

The driver asked.

"I am fine."

"He's Gu Qingyi's bodyguard. He's really fearless, just standing in front of our car like that. I'll run him over."

After saying that, the driver stepped on the gas pedal without any hesitation, because he knew that even if someone died, the young master could take care of it for him.

However, even though he had floored the accelerator, the car didn't move an inch. The screeching sound of the tires rubbing against the ground was extremely loud, and a thick plume of smoke billowed up, filling the air with the smell of burning tires.

With a smile on his lips, Long Haochen stood in front of the car, his foot resting on the hood, making the car unable to move an inch.

"That's enough, stop now."

Lin Yuan frowned, knowing that this method was useless against Long Haochen, so he told the driver to stop.

"Is he... is he even human?"

The driver's eyes widened in shock and disbelief. How could someone possibly stop a car at full speed with just one foot? Shouldn't he have been hit and thrown into the air?

The shocking truth made the driver think he was dreaming.

Knowing he couldn't escape this calamity, Lin Yuan got out of the car, looked at Long Haochen, and gave him a kind smile.

"Brother Long, I never expected that we would meet on this overpass so late at night. What a coincidence!"

Long Haochen looked at Lin Yuan. This guy could still laugh at a time like this, he was really weird. He didn't believe that Lin Yuan didn't know his purpose.

Moreover, a normal person would have been speechless with shock after seeing what he had just demonstrated, just like this driver. However, Lin Yuan acted as if nothing had happened.

Could it be that he's a hidden master? Or perhaps he's aware of his own abilities?

Long Haochen was very cautious, pondering this possibility in his mind.

Experts should be ruled out, because judging from his strength, it's clear that Lin Yuan is a genuine weakling with terrible physical fitness; he might be out of breath after running just a few meters.

Then there's only one remaining possibility: the other party knows my information.

Long Haochen frowned. He didn't like this feeling. It seemed that Lin Yuan had to be killed.

"It is indeed fate, but you may not be able to accept this fate."

Long Haochen walked towards Lin Yuan, preparing to make his move.

"Brother Long, we have no grudges against each other. I don't understand why you have to attack me. I was still speaking up for you in the Ye family."

Lin Yuan feigned composure, but inwardly he was extremely flustered. With each step Long Haochen took towards him, his heart clenched tighter.

"Because of Gu Qingyi, she is the woman I have chosen, and you have defiled her, so you must die."

"Defile? You bastard, you really have a vivid imagination. You like being cuckolded so much? Are you some kind of cuckold hero?"

Lin Yuan thought to himself, he would never dare to say these words in front of Long Haochen.

"Brother Long must have misunderstood."

Lin Yuan continued, smiling gently.

As the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face. As long as your attitude is correct enough, you should at least try to reason with me, right? But judging from Long Haochen's attitude, it seems he doesn't intend to reason with me much.

"My relationship with President Gu is completely innocent, and nothing has happened between us. Miss Ye Ling'er of the Ye family can testify to this. Not long after you left, Ye Ling'er came over, and she and President Gu stared at each other until midnight before they finally stopped."

Lin Yuan immediately recounted what had happened at the Haiyue Restaurant that day to Long Haochen, hoping to evoke a shred of conscience in the other party, because in the original work, even the chosen one needed a legitimate reason to kill.

Now that reason is gone, you can't still kill me, can you?

"Is that so? In that case..."

Long Haochen paused, and Lin Yuan thought the other party had changed his mind and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly Long Haochen suddenly changed the subject.

"Then I will eliminate any future troubles."

"Brother Long, there's no need for us to go this far. If you like Gu Qingyi, you can absolutely pursue her. I will definitely not stop you. I can even help you make things easier so you can win her over faster. What do you say?"

Damn it, Long Haochen is determined to kill me. Since reasoning with him won't work, let's talk about interests.

As expected, after saying that, Long Haochen stopped and seemed to be pondering the possibility of this matter.

"Hmph, do you think I, Long Haochen, need your help to facilitate my pursuit of a woman? Are you looking down on me?"

Long Haochen frowned and walked towards Lin Yuan again.

"Damn, this doesn't work either? This guy's impervious to both soft and hard approaches!"

Lin Yuan was extremely nervous, and he suddenly shouted.

"Wait a moment."

"Oh? Do you have any last words?"

Long Haochen looked at Lin Yuan with amusement. Anyway, he was determined to kill Lin Yuan tonight. Even if the Heavenly King himself came, he couldn't stop him. That's what he said.

It didn't matter if it was a minute more or a minute less; he gave Lin Yuan time to say his last words.

"I just have one question. You clearly headed north after leaving Haiyue Restaurant, while I was heading south. Why were you able to stop me?"

Lin Yuan asked.

He knew the answer to the problem perfectly well, but right now he just wanted to buy himself a second, even if it was just one more second. Every extra second would give him one more second to think of a solution, and one more second to have any hope of survival.
