Chapter 509: You’re Holding the Club Wrong

“Xu Ge, don’t worry. I won’t forget your contributions.”

Lin Kai spoke firmly to Xu Shaochen, though deep down, he had other plans.

Once he gained control of the Lin Family, he intended to break free from Xu Shaochen’s grasp, or at least deal with him on equal footing.

Xu Shaochen smiled and handed over a peeled apple.

“Xu Ge, I still have a villa in Repulse Bay. You shouldn’t be staying at the hotel, so why not stay there?”

As Lin Kai spoke, he handed Xu Shaochen a set of keys. Clearly, he had prepared them in advance.

“Then I won’t stand on ceremony.” Xu Shaochen glanced at him, pocketed the keys, and thought, ‘Why not take it if it’s free?’

It was obvious that Lin Kai had matured, or rather, he had become a bit sly.

Whether it was offering up his sister or now giving Xu Shaochen the villa, the goal was singular: to appease Xu Shaochen.

Because Lin Kai knew that, for now, Xu Shaochen was his only support.

Lin Kai was cold-hearted, as evidenced by how he sent his sister away for his own gain.

Xu Shaochen could guarantee one thing: if Lin Kai ever rose to power, he would not be grateful. Instead, he would see the days he tried to curry favor as a disgrace.

Therefore, Xu Shaochen would never give him the chance to rise. Ensuring he had a comfortable life was enough.

After some small talk with Lin Kai.

Xu Shaochen left the Hospital.

Given the Lin Family’s influence, Lin Yao would be released from Yunzhou’s prison in a few days at most.

However, his reputation was already ruined, and the Lin Family’s hands were undoubtedly dirty. But they would never let someone with a tainted reputation hold a position of power.

Because the person in charge represents the face of the Lin Family.

The next thing was to let Lin Rong and Lin Kai fight it out. Xu Shaochen would secretly support Lin Kai, combined with the Zheng Family’s rivalry with the Lin Family, ensuring the Lin Family descended into chaos.

At that point, Lin Wanxue only needed to focus on managing the Company, spend more time with Lin Changguan and his wife, and gradually take over the Company’s authority with Xu Shaochen’s help.

When the dust settled, Lin Rong, Lin Kai, and Lin Yao would suddenly realize that the Company had already fallen into Lin Wanxue’s hands.

But by then, it would be too late. They wouldn’t even have a chance to start over.

As for how Xu Shaochen would help Lin Wanxue secure the Company’s top shareholders?

Xu Shaochen chuckled, then said without turning back, “How are the arrangements I assigned to you coming along?”

“Boss, it’s all been taken care of.”

Long Yi stepped forward and whispered into Xu Shaochen’s ear.

“It’s almost noon, and they’re about to get off work. Have them meet me at the Repulse Bay Villa.”

After Xu Shaochen finished speaking, he jingled the keys in his hand, got into the car, and gave Lin Wanxue a call.

Long Yi watched as Xu Shaochen’s car drove away, then took a few bodyguards with him to attend to his tasks.

………………

Villa No. 3, Repulse Bay.

This was the villa Lin Kai gave to Xu Shaochen.

It was large and luxurious, with a miniature golf course in the backyard, as well as a pool and other amenities.

In a place like Hong Kong, where land was worth its weight in gold, the value of this villa was evident—Lin Kai had indeed spent a fortune.

How outrageous are property prices in Hong Kong?

In Hong Kong TV dramas, you often hear the term ‘thousand-square-foot mansion’, but the usable area is usually just sixty to seventy square meters, and the cost is well into the millions.

Many white-collar workers who wear suits during the day end up living in coffin-sized apartments at night because housing and living costs are extreme.

“Boss, Miss Lin has arrived.”

Xu Shaochen was holding a golf club and pretending to play when Long Er came in to report.

“Let her in.”

Xu Shaochen nodded, swinging the golf club aimlessly.

It would be easy to get the ball into the hole; the problem was, he just didn’t know the rules of golf, and he found it a boring game anyway.

Perhaps his tastes were too low to grasp the essence of the sport.

“You’re holding the club wrong.”

A melodious voice rang out as Lin Wanxue, dressed in a white suit and pencil skirt, walked in, her high heels tapping lightly.

“Then show me how to hold it.”

Xu Shaochen said with deep meaning.

Lin Wanxue rolled her eyes playfully, walked over to Xu Shaochen, let her hand slide down his shoulder, and breathed warmly, “This is the right way to hold it.”

“You little vixen.”

Xu Shaochen cursed lightly, pushing her hand away. When this woman started acting flirtatious, it lit a fire inside him.

Because Lin Wanxue’s persona and temperament had always been that of a noble lady, a respected daughter of heaven.

Her sudden shift to seduction created a stark contrast with her usual image, making her even more irresistible.

“Good brother, I’m still working. Why did you call me here?”

Lin Wanxue pouted sweetly, not asking about the villa because she knew it was no big deal for Xu Shaochen to buy the entire villa area.

Nor did she ask about what happened with Lin Yao last night, as she knew Xu Shaochen was paving the way for her.

“I’m going to introduce you to a few people soon.”

Xu Shaochen smiled faintly and wrapped an arm around her waist, while his other hand casually swung the golf club.

“Bang!”

The white golf ball drew a beautiful arc and landed in the hole.

…………

Lin Corporation Headquarters.

Vice Chairman and one of the shareholders, Huo Yaogong twisted his neck as he walked out of the building.

At the entrance, his driver had already parked the car, waiting for him.

“Have you picked up the young master?”

Once inside the car, Huo Yaogong closed his eyes in comfort and asked calmly.

But then he sensed something was off. Why was the driver silent? Opening his eyes, he saw an unfamiliar face in the rearview mirror.

“Who are you!”

His expression changed instantly, his heart filled with panic, though he forced himself to remain calm, secretly thinking of ways to escape.

“Don’t make futile struggles, and don’t do anything that might make me misunderstand. My boss wants to see you.”

The one driving was one of Xu Shaochen’s bodyguards. Without looking back, he kept driving.

“Who is your boss?”

Realizing it might not be a kidnapping, Huo Yaogong’s heart steadied a bit, and he tried to gather some useful information.

“From now on, keep your mouth shut. Our boss only told me to bring you to him; he didn’t say to bring you in one piece.”

After the bodyguard’s cold warning, Huo Yaogong dared not speak another word.

The blatant threat had scared him. With his wealth, status, and position, it wasn’t worth taking risks.

As he sat in anxious silence, the car drew closer and closer to the Repulse Bay Villa Area.

And this was just a snippet; the same scenes were playing out throughout Hong Kong.

Lin Corporation’s major shareholders were all being ‘invited’ in similar fashions.
