Chapter 1040: Chapter 1040: Sorry, I Don’t Think I Can Help You

Very soon, more people arrived, completely surrounding the trio.

Meng Ran roughly estimated there were more than fifty of them.

Despite the arrival of so many people, Jian Dan and Molly still did not show a trace of fear.

Vice President Lin walked up to the three of them again with a smug look on his face, “How does it feel? I want you to pay back everything I suffered today tenfold, a hundredfold!”

“Oh, really?”

“Heh~ To remain so calm in the face of so many people, you’re the first I’ve seen!”

“I get it, it’s just like it’s pointless to tell a frog at the bottom of a well how vast the sky is, right?” Jian Dan provocatively retorted.

Vice President Lin was completely infuriated by Jian Dan’s words, as he had not gained any advantage over Jian Dan all day.

Vice President Lin, with a darkened face, spoke coldly, “I want these three to beg for life but find death unreachable!”

Just when Meng Ran thought they were done for, a voice rang out from behind, “Causing trouble on my turf, you really must think your life is too long!”

The moment the voice sounded, Jian Dan’s mouth had already curled into a smile—during Vice President Lin’s phone call, Jian Dan had already sent a WeChat message to Mr. Yan.

With Vice President Lin’s level, naturally, he would not recognize Mr. Yan, but how could the leaders of the people Vice President Lin brought not recognize him?

The moment they saw Mr. Yan, they scrambled on all fours to his side, “Mr. Yan, what wind has blown you over here?” Sitting by Mr. Yan’s legs like a fawning dog, they eagerly lit a cigarette for him.

“So, what’s going on?” Mr. Yan asked coldly after taking a puff of his cigarette.

“Mr. Yan, it’s just a trivial matter, not worth troubling you!”

Slap—a crisp slap resonated, and the person who was kneeling beside Mr. Yan had been sent flying by the hand of Mr. Yan himself.

The person who had been sent flying passed out before they could grasp what had happened…

Vice President Lin was once again dumbstruck by the scene playing out before him.

Although he did not recognize Mr. Yan, judging by the attitude of the people he had hired towards Mr. Yan, it was clear just how high Mr. Yan’s status was. Such a person was truly untouchable to him!

And yet, such a figure, whom he would need to look up to, now approached Jian Dan with all due respect and greeted him in his presence.

Seeing the level of respect he showed to Jian Dan, Vice President Lin had completely lost the capacity to think.

“Leave this man to me.

It’s getting late, let me have someone take you back,” said Mr. Yan.

“No need, we can get back on our own!” Jian Dan replied.

Just as Jian Dan and the others were preparing to leave, Vice President Lin, as if waking from a dream, clung desperately to Meng Ran’s legs—he didn’t dare touch Jian Dan’s anymore!

“Please let me go! I truly realize my mistake this time, I swear I will mend my ways and never do such things again, or else I can leave right now, leave this city and never come back!” Vice President Lin was acutely aware that if he fell into Mr. Yan’s hands, his fate would be far worse than death.

“Sorry, but I don’t think I can help you!” Jian Dan said, without even glancing at him.

After speaking, he left without looking back…

Molly kicked Vice President Lin, who was clinging to Meng Ran’s legs, away and pulled Meng Ran along to leave…

“Why are you so violent for a young girl?” Meng Ran finally spoke to Molly after they had walked a fair distance.

“Don’t worry, I will be gentle with you!” Molly said, wrapping her arm around Meng Ran’s.

Meng Ran tried to pull away, but Molly’s grip was so tight that he failed to free himself after several attempts and eventually gave up.

“I really will be gentle with you!” Molly continued, seeing Meng Ran’s skeptical look.

“You should save that line for your future boyfriend, not me!”

“You are my future boyfriend and husband!”

“We’re not suitable for each other!”

“What’s not suitable about us?”

“What is suitable about us?”

“I think we are suitable in every way. As for whether we’re sexually compatible, we’ll have to try to find out!” Molly actually blushed as she said this.

“Is it really appropriate for you to be discussing such adult topics this late at night?” Jian Dan couldn’t bear to listen anymore from the side.

“If not at night, when do you discuss these topics?” Molly blurted out without any hesitation.

Molly’s words left Jian Dan somewhat speechless and plunged Meng Ran into extreme embarrassment.
