The man instantly sat up from the bed, glaring fiercely with a menacing look in his eyes. As he spoke, the corners of his mouth curled upward, resembling a ruthless and wicked murderer.

“I did all this for your boss Shen, you know? Those few women are a group. Once 1 played with one, the other two would obediently submit. Who dares to oppose Boss Shen now?”

Merely speaking wasn’t enough for him. He grabbed Song Yan’s collar, getting uncomfortably close. “Go back and tell Boss Shen, five hundred thousand. Not a penny less. Otherwise, I’ll turn myself in and spill all the dirty secrets you guys are up to.”

Song Yan chuckled, completely dismissing the man.

He patted the man’s hand that messed up his collar, waiting until the grip loosened before nonchalantly adjusting his own collar. “Turning yourself in won’t do you any good. Boss Shen’s connections are intricate. When things blow up, you’ll be the only one behind bars. Don’t blame me for not warning you. Boss Shen only wanted you to scare the leading girl, not rape a high school girl. When things escalate, you won’t get away with it.”

He picked up the money from the table and threw it directly at the man’s face, abandoning his earlier polite demeanor. His tone turned harsh. “Tonight’s train. I’ll arrange for someone to take you to the station. Take the money and get lost.”

“You motherfu…” The man was instantly infuriated, swinging his fist aggressively towards Song Yan.

However, what he didn’t know was that Song Yan used to be a first-class martial artist. Underneath his well-tailored suit, he was wrapped in rock-solid muscles, far from the lean appearance he portrayed.

The man’s punch didn’t land on Song Yan; instead, he found himself on the receiving end of a throw. Song Yan effortlessly tossed him to the ground.

He howled in pain, his face contorted, and he started rolling on the ground.

Song Yan coldly stood up, adjusted his disheveled clothes, and stepped on the man’s dirty jeans, grinding forcefully. “Remember, from now on, you’re not allowed back in Lin City. If 1 see you in this city, I’ll disable your legs!”

“All!” The man, in pain, quickly covered his shins, sweating profusely. Bent over, he nodded repeatedly. “Understood, sir. You’re my boss. Please let me go!”

Song Yan withdrew his foot, disdainfully wiping the sole on the man’s jeans, not even sparing him a glance, and walked away.

“Ms. Mei, our people have gathered information on several places that person frequents. We’ve also sent someone to check, but there’s no one inside. Could he have already left Lin City?” Tang Mei reported the situation while organizing the documents that Mei Shu had already reviewed.

Mei Shu straightened her posture, slightly turning her stiff neck. “It’s very likely.”

After some thought, Tang Mei made a suggestion, “How about we send people to stake out at the train station and bus station? If he shows up, we can immediately apprehend him!”

Mei Shu amusingly opened her eyes, looking at her. “I didn’t expect my secretary to have such a mafia-like side.”

Blushing, Tang Mei lowered her head. “I just want to catch the bad guy sooner and give those two girls an explanation.”

“The train station and bus station have too many people. Going there might not yield any results.” Mei Shu chuckled and said, “To find him, there’s no need for such trouble. Since I’ve finished handling the work on my hands, 1’11 personally investigate this matter. You can all go home if you’re done for the day.”

“What? No! Mei Shu, you’re still working overtime, and as your secretary, how can 1 go home to rest?” Tang Mei shook her head repeatedly, indicating she could continue working late with Mei Shu.

Mei Shu had never seen a secretary so fond of working, and she was somewhat intrigued. “I noticed that you’ve been busy the whole day, running around handling handovers between various departments. You even wore a pair of io-centimeter high heels, and you didn’t take a moment to sit down and catch your breath. Don’t you feel tired?”

“I’m not tired at all,” Tang Mei replied innocently. “I’m full of energy working with CEO Mei. Even if you want me to work overtime with you all night, I have no problem.”

“Forget it, 1 won’t be so heartless.” Mei Shu smiled, moving the documents from Tang Mei’s hands to her own side. “Alright, you’ve worked hard today. Go home, have dinner, take a shower, and rest well. We can deal with other matters tomorrow.”

“How about 1 prepare dinner for you before leaving?” Tang Mei expressed concern, not entirely comfortable leaving Mei Shu alone working late in the building.

Mei Shu glanced at the time and instructed, “No need. I should be leaving soon. Inform the others that they can go home. I don’t like exploiting employees.”

“Alright, if Mei Shu has anything else, feel free to give me a call.” Tang Mei closed the door reluctantly and left.

Mei Shu chuckled silently, shaking her head. She opened her computer and swiftly accessed the surveillance footage along Zhang Yue’s route on the night of the incident..
