10: Chapter 10 Female Lead Liu Yanran

The moment Officer Lin Wanzhu brought Lin Tianyang back to the police station, she threw him straight into the interrogation room.

This was because Chu Yuan had specifically reminded her that Lin Tianyang had a screw loose, and interrogating him immediately wouldn't yield any results.

It would be better to just lock him up and let him calm down first.

Under normal circumstances, having schemed against Lin Tianyang repeatedly, Chu Yuan should have pressed his advantage, strutted around the police station, and humiliated Lin Tianyang thoroughly.

Unfortunately, such a script did not exist for Chu Yuan.

Continuing to act arrogant in front of Lin Tianyang just to assert his presence—

such a moronic thing was something only a Protagonist like Lin Tianyang would enjoy watching.

Outside the interrogation room, Chu Yuan glanced inside, gave a few instructions, and then, too lazy to deal with him further, left Lin Tianyang with nothing but his back.

Lin Tianyang was completely speechless.

He had originally thought that at this moment, Chu Yuan would definitely come in, continue to humiliate him, and seek a sense of superiority.

Then, he would be able to rely on his own wit and strength to make a desperate counterattack and teach this rich kid a lesson.

But now, the other party had merely glanced at him and left straight away.

This meant that he, Lin Tianyang, was not being taken seriously at all.

This gave him a feeling of powerlessness, like punching a cotton ball with a thousand pounds of force.

"Chu Yuan, you are more capable than I imagined, but I, Lin Tianyang, am not someone to be trifled with."

Lin Tianyang's eyes were bloodshot, his fists clenched tight, and he felt the urge to erupt like a volcano.

He wished he could rush out right now and smash Chu Yuan into pulp.

He understood even better that now was not the time to deal with Chu Yuan; escaping this place immediately was the top priority.

Although he didn't view his current predicament as a big deal, Lin Tianyang still didn't want to continue being a prisoner here.

"If I leave like this, wouldn't it be fleeing to avoid punishment?"

Lin Tianyang furrowed his brows. With his strength, leaving this place without a sound would be a piece of cake.

But that would surely fall into Chu Yuan's trap; he would definitely take the opportunity to keep using police resources to deal with him.

"It seems I have to use the old man's trump card after all."

...

Magic City, the Liu family.

The Liu family had kept a low profile over the years, but every major family in the entire Magic City held them in high regard.

The reason was simple: the Liu family was a prestigious medical family.

Elder Liu's miraculous medical skills had saved countless lives.

It was said that even some big shots in the capital had been treated by Elder Liu, and they owed the Liu family a massive favor.

"Dad, you... it's not that I, as your son, want to lecture you."

"For the sake of someone completely unrelated, you want me to snatch food from the tiger's mouth and make an enemy of the Chu family's young master, Chu Yuan."

"And you want to marry Liu Yanran off to that wild boy who came from who knows where. You... sigh..."

Mr. Liu, the head of the Liu family, forcefully suppressed his anger.

If the old man before him weren't his father, he would have wanted to slap him the moment he heard those words.

He truly felt that his father had become senile.

Just because he received a thumb ring and a message, he was asking him to save someone from Chu Yuan's hands.

And he even said he had arranged a marriage for his daughter, Liu Yanran, to some wild boy from the mountains.

"Sigh, you are still young; there are some things you don't understand."

Elder Liu gripped the thumb ring in his hand, his face full of solemnity.

"If that person hadn't stepped in back then, the Liu family's reputation would have been ruined, and I would have been killed."

"I made a marriage agreement with him back then; as long as his disciple came with this thumb ring, I would marry Liu Yanran off to them."

"How could I go back on my word now?"

Hearing this, Mr. Liu thought of something and continued to persuade him.

"Even if that person did you and the Liu family a favor, I, Mr. Liu, would not bat an eye at giving whatever money or shares the Liu family could offer."

"But now, he has offended Chu Yuan of the Chu family. You still want to do everything in your power to save him, even treating my daughter like a commodity to be given away. How can I, as her father, accept this?"

Mr. Liu's earnest persuasion did not move Elder Liu.

"What do you know? Being able to marry that person's disciple is Liu Yanran's good fortune."

"With just one word from that person, there would be countless people in this world wanting to marry his disciple. How could it not be Liu Yanran's good fortune?"

"Whoever wants this 'fortune' can have it; in any case, I, Mr. Liu, do not want it!"

"Insolent!"

Mr. Liu wanted to keep trying to persuade him, but Elder Liu had already made his final decision.

"What you need to do now is save him; I want to find a chance to meet him."

"The news from the police station is that Lin Tianyang first injured Chu Yuan's bodyguard, and then, in front of numerous police officers, threatened to kill Chu Yuan."

"Chu Yuan has already declared that anyone who dares to save Lin Tianyang is an enemy of the Chu family."

Chu Yuan was not frightening, but the Chu family behind him was not someone to be trifled with.

Once offended, it might end up costing the entire Liu family.

Elder Liu fell into deep thought upon hearing this.

After a long silence, he sighed: "My Liu family still has a medical research institute. If we trade it for Lin Tianyang, Chu Yuan and the Chu family shouldn't have any more complaints, right?"

Mr. Liu was even more speechless. The Liu Research Institute was the lifeblood of the Liu family, and its value far exceeded what money could measure.

His own father was actually bleeding so much for that Lin Tianyang.

Mr. Liu even had a sliver of suspicion in his heart: could this Lin Tianyang be the old man's illegitimate son?

"Grandpa, Dad, what are you two talking about? I heard your voices from far away."

A melodious voice rang out in the hall.

Immediately after, a cold, elegant, and noble figure appeared in their line of sight.

Liu Yanran.

She was the very person Elder Liu claimed would be honored to marry Lin Tianyang, and she was both talented and beautiful.

At only twenty-five, she already held a master's degree and was gradually taking over the family business.

Precisely because of this, she always appeared in the public eye with a cold and aloof image.

Wearing a light blue dress, her long, straight black hair draped over her shoulders, she had a curvaceous figure and delicate facial features, exuding a noble and icy aura from head to toe.

Whether it was her temperament, figure, features, or knowledge, every aspect was impeccable; it was no exaggeration to call her a beauty of the mortal world.

"Liu Yanran, you... why are you here?"

Liu Yanran's arrival made Mr. Liu feel incredibly awkward.

After all, just moments ago, under the pressure of his muddled father, he had been forced to "sell" his daughter.

"Oh, there are some things in the company I don't quite understand, so I came to ask Father and Grandpa for advice."

After saying this, Liu Yanran turned her gaze to her father: "By the way, I just heard you talking about marriage and a fiancée. What exactly is going on?"

"Ah... this..."

Mr. Liu stammered, unable to get half a sentence out.

"Enough, there's no harm in telling Liu Yanran; she would have to know about this sooner or later anyway."

Elder Liu spoke up directly.
