I Transmigrated Into a Villain and All the Heroines in This Novel Have Systems?

Chapter 37:

On his way to Lu Chaoge’s company, Lin Chuan’s phone suddenly rang.

The caller ID displayed: Emperor Emeritus.

There was no need to guess—it was Lin Qiangdong, the current head of the Lin family.

Since transmigrating, Lin Chuan had yet to meet this so-called father of his. Seeing the caller ID now, he felt a complicated mix of emotions.

After letting the phone ring a few times, he finally picked up.

The moment the call connected, a stern voice came through. “Where are you?”

“Do you need something?” Lin Chuan quickly composed himself and responded calmly.

“Come home tonight.” Lin Qiangdong’s tone was commanding, leaving no room for refusal.

Lin Chuan instantly understood why he was calling.

Lin Hai, despite being an illegitimate child, had always been highly favored by Lin Qiangdong.

That was why, despite opposition from the rest of the Lin family, he had orchestrated this so-called competition—a seemingly fair method to replace Lin Chuan as the heir.

In his memories, ever since the competition began, this so-called father had never once called him.

Now, out of the blue, he was calling and demanding he come home?

It was obvious—news of his recent clash with Lin Hai had reached Lin Qiangdong.

So he’s calling me back to settle accounts, huh?

“I understand. I’ll come back tonight—”

Before he could finish, the other side simply grunted in acknowledgment and hung up.

Lin Chuan froze for a moment before his eyes darkened slightly.

Looks like tonight’s family dinner won’t be a pleasant one.

…

A few minutes later, his rideshare finally arrived at the headquarters of Lu Medical Group.

Lin Chuan looked up and took in the sight of the grand building before him.

Instantly, countless pieces of information about Lu Medical Group and the Lu family surfaced in his mind.

“The Lu family—one of Zhonghai’s second-tier families, primarily focused on the health supplement business.”

“A few years ago, they were on the verge of collapse, nearly driven out of the market by competitors.”

“At a critical moment, Lu Chaoge took over the struggling business. With a series of bold and aggressive strategies, she turned the situation around, reclaiming lost ground in the health industry.”

“After successfully launching several bestselling products, she completely stabilized the company’s position.”

“And this cold, peerless beauty—Lu Chaoge—became famous overnight because of it.”

The original Lin Chuan had visited Lu Medical Group a few times before, so he was quite familiar with the place.

Stepping out of the car, he headed straight for the company entrance.

But just as he reached the steps and was about to go up, an elderly man rushed past him in a hurry.

The old man looked to be about seventy, frail and thin, as if a gust of wind could knock him over.

He was clutching a wooden box tightly in his arms, though Lin Chuan had no idea what was inside.

Perhaps because he was moving too fast, the old man suddenly misstepped and nearly tumbled down the stairs.

Lin Chuan reacted swiftly, catching him just in time. “Sir, at your age, you really shouldn’t be running around like this.”

Unexpectedly, instead of being grateful, the old man immediately shot him a glare and snapped, “Who are you calling old and useless?”

Lin Chuan was momentarily stunned.

Then, his brows furrowed slightly. “Are you serious? I was just helping you out, and now you’re snapping at me?”

“Some people really can’t tell the difference between kindness and an insult.”

The old man grew even more furious. “Who are you calling a dog?! You’re the dog! Your whole family’s dogs!”

Lin Chuan’s irritation flared. He pointed a finger at the old man’s face. “Listen here, old man, I went out of my way to help you, and instead of thanking me, you insult me?”

“If I had known you were this ungrateful, I would’ve let you fall and break a few bones!”

The old man’s face turned red with anger. “You little bastard, who are you calling old and dying? Watch me beat you up!”

Saying that, he raised the wooden box in his hands and swung it toward Lin Chuan.

With Lin Chuan’s skills, he could easily have kicked this old guy to the curb.

But he wasn’t here to cause trouble, so he simply sidestepped the attack.

However, the old man lost his balance and, in his clumsy attempt to strike, tripped over the steps.

With a loud thud, he fell face-first onto the ground.

His mouth hit the edge of the stairs, and two of his teeth flew out, blood gushing from his lips.

Picking up his dislodged teeth, the old man suddenly wailed at the top of his lungs, “Help! Murder! Someone’s trying to kill me!”

Several employees of Lu Medical Group happened to be passing by and immediately stopped to watch.

At the same time, the front desk receptionist hurriedly called for security.

Soon, a few guards rushed over.

“Sir, are you alright?”

The receptionist—a young woman in her twenties with delicate features—quickly helped the old man up.

The old man, clearly a lecher, was still groaning in pain, but he managed to sneak in a few inappropriate touches as she supported him.

The receptionist didn’t seem to notice, assuming he was just unsteady on his feet.

Once she got him up, she cautiously asked, “Sir, what happened?”

The old man immediately pointed at Lin Chuan. “This little bastard hit me!”

“Look! He punched me so hard that I lost two teeth! A young man like him bullying an old man—where’s his conscience?”

None of the bystanders had witnessed the full sequence of events.

But people naturally sided with the weak.

Hearing the old man’s complaint, they all turned toward Lin Chuan with hostile glares.

Only the receptionist seemed slightly surprised when she saw him. “Young Master Lin?”

“You’re here to see CEO Lu again?”

Lin Chuan had visited Lu Medical Group multiple times before, often harassing Lu Chaoge, so the receptionist recognized him.

The old man was startled.

Wait… this guy’s a regular here?

Did I just mess with the wrong person?

“I’m here to discuss business with your CEO Lu,” Lin Chuan said flatly.

“You? Discuss business?” The receptionist’s tone was full of disdain.

Lin Chuan had previously shown up at the company just to pester Lu Chaoge, behaving like a complete scoundrel.

The idea that he was here for serious business was laughable to her.

Yeah, right. I’d sooner believe a pig could climb a tree.

But Lin Chuan wasn’t in the mood to argue with someone at the front desk. “You deal with this mess. I’m heading inside.”

With that, he turned to leave.

At that moment, the receptionist’s cold voice rang out. “Young Master Lin, you hit an elderly man. Are you not even going to apologize?”

Lin Chuan paused.

He slowly turned his head and looked at her.

“If you don’t need your eyes, you might as well donate them to someone who does.”
