Battered Young Miss 49 Trus

The unlicensed car conveying the unconscious body of Yang Lin drove through the gated compound belonging to the President of Zhang Corporation under a fake name, this was one of the unlisted properties that Zhang Tianyu owned, the enormous one story traditional building of wood, boasting lush greenery and well thought architecture. Some distance away from the entrance into the house was a wide table and a chair of sturdy brown wood of the highest quality, on it sat Zhang Tianyu drinking from delicate white porcelain cup with a kettle from the same set holding in them tea from the finest tea leaf.

When he saw that a car pull up on the unpaved ground, some feet away from where he sat, that was when the President of Zhang Corporation set down the tea cup in his hand, watching as the approaching figures made their way to where he sat. The mysterious man carried the still unconscious form of Yang Lin over his shoulders.

Inside the spacious compound were several men from the security team personally under the command of Zhang Tianyu, they watched as the other man dropped Yang Lin on the ground before the presence of the President of Zhang Corporation.

Zhang Tianyu had on an unruffled expression when he saw how his adopted son was handle in a slightly careless manner, his sharp gaze watched to see if Yang Lin was regaining consciousness, but the young man remained unresponsive.

A slight look and a brief movement of hand was what Zhang Tianyu used to dismiss the other man, who curtesied before driving out the the same way he got in.

Without leaving where he sat, Zhang Tianyu ordered the men with him to bring in some water and drown the contents on Yang Lin. Half of the men that stood there, rushed to do as asked, leaving the rest to keep an eye on Yang Lin in the event he woke up and wanted to escape from where he was held captive.

Not that that many of them was needed to run such an errand, but they did it to show that they were taking the orders of the President of Zhang Corporation seriously.

A medium sized red bucket containing water almost to the brim was brought in by one of the men, with the rest following in tow. Lifting the bucket from the bottom, the man raised it up high, dowsing the cold water on Yang Lin.

Instantly, the young man convulsed from the shock from the impact of being sprayed by the sudden coldness. Shivering and looking disoriented, Yang Lin's gaze roamed around until it landed at the all too familiar face of the man who was a father to him. That didn't end there as his conscious state was met by several blows from the men who under the guise of serving as the personal body guards of Zhang Tianyu were in actual fact tugs that he used whenever he felt the need to deal with situations such as the one that presented itself right at the moment.

It took some time, but Yang Lin knew why he was being apprehended by Zhang Tianyu, to the other man, he Yang Lin had betrayed his trust by gathering other people to help win the case of the former's niece.

"I don't need to spell it out for you! Why I chose to bring you here in this manner, I'm sure you are well aware that your movements have always been monitored. With the way that I took you in and treated you as my own child! Why then are you trying to bring back Mi?!"

The look on Zhang Tianyu said it all that, he didn't want to believe that Yang Lin was betraying his trust, but the photos he saw from the private eye he hired, showed without a doubt that the man be took as his son, was working against his interest.

Yang Lin knew that he had to say something to win back the shaky trust that his "father" had in him.

"I'm sorry for causing you to doubt my loyalty, but I had to fool you in order to make Miss Zhang believe in me once again, by bringing in a family friend that she knew from childhood, this will lower her guard and make her rely heavily on us tl secure her release from prison. Isn't it best to crush her completely so that she will not have any speck of hope of ever returning as the President of Zhang Corporation?!"

Zhang Tianyu looked into the eyes of his adopted son and saw no trace of gile in them, the cold look earlier in his eyes began to soften, the tension in his body was slowly easing away.

"Very well, keep doing what you are doing and keep me up to date on your plans. You can now leave"

".."

Yang Lin responded with a curtsey of deep respect, before heading of the place that brought up memories from his youthful years.

Whatever he had to do, even if it meant lying to the one who gave him a home where he could live comfortably for many years, before assigned to the Zhang heiress. The young man knew that, whatever price he had to pay in the future, he will willingly do so, even if it meant sacrificing everything including his life to protect the person that he had come to care deeply for, while fulfilling his duties and repaying a familial debt.

Madam Hong being beside herself, with tears in her voice, she called for her son to come and speak some sense into his sister's head.

The purpose of Hong Lian's visit was to talk his sister into submitting to their parents will, even if he hadn't done so in the past. If he were to succeed in changing his sister's mind to head the branch office at Hongsheng Holdings, he was promised a possible transfer as the President of Hongsheng Holdings headquarters, while his sister will head the branch office after a space of five years.

This was an opportunity he didn't want to pass up, there were secrets that not even Hong Ruolan knew about her family, but he Hong Lian was the key to that held the President of Hongsheng Holdings and Madam Hong at bay. Although, it pained his heart to do that to his sister, Hong Lian wanted the powerful position that would secure his future as one of the most influential businessmen in the country. He could do a little persuasion along the way, to get to where he wanted.
