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

Chapter 38:

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

The receptionist couldn’t believe Lin Chuan’s audacity—he was clearly at fault, yet he still dared to act so arrogantly. She was momentarily stunned.

After a brief pause, she blurted out, “You hit someone, so you should apologize. Isn’t that just common sense?”

“Which eye of yours saw me hit him?” Lin Chuan’s tone remained calm as he asked.

The receptionist was taken aback for a moment, then pointed at the old man’s bloody mouth. “Isn’t this enough proof? If you didn’t hit him, are you saying he hit himself?”

“I’m telling you—he did fall on his own,” Lin Chuan said, his expression unchanged.

But his words weren’t convincing at all.

Everyone assumed he was just making excuses.

After all, his reputation for being arrogant and reckless was well known. No one believed anything he said.

The receptionist sneered. “This elderly man clearly said you hit him, and you’re still denying it? How could he just fall for no reason?”

The old man, seeing how the receptionist was firmly on his side, secretly found it amusing.

At first, he thought she might be on Lin Chuan’s side since she recognized him.

But now, it seemed he was mistaken.

This receptionist clearly hated Lin Chuan. Instead of defending him, she was siding against him.

Lin Chuan could feel his anger rising.

But he hadn’t forgotten why he was here today—he had important business with Lu Medical Group. He didn’t want to waste time arguing with fools. “If you had even a little bit of intelligence, you’d know to verify the facts before making baseless accusations.”

“I’ve said what I needed to say. Whether you believe it or not is your problem. Now, I need to see your CEO Lu for serious business.”

With that, he turned to enter the building.

“Stop him!”

The receptionist immediately called out to the security guards.

Clatter!

A few guards quickly stepped forward, blocking Lin Chuan’s path.

His gaze turned icy, and he was just about to teach these men a lesson when—

A crisp, commanding voice rang out from within the building.

“Stand down!”

Though the voice wasn’t loud, it carried an undeniable authority.

Lin Chuan had already been prepared to take action, but the moment he heard that voice, he relaxed. His clenched fists gradually loosened.

Everyone turned to look.

Lu Chaoge, accompanied by her assistant Xu Manli, was walking out of the building.

She was dressed in a sleek gray business suit, and her long, jet-black hair cascaded over her shoulders, swaying slightly as she moved.

Her presence was commanding and elegant, exuding an air of sharp competence.

“CEO Lu.”

“CEO Lu…”

The employees of Lu Medical Group greeted her respectfully.

Lu Chaoge, keeping a stern expression, glanced briefly at Lin Chuan.

Seeing that he wasn’t injured, she let out a small sigh of relief.

Then, she turned her sharp gaze toward the receptionist.

“What’s going on here?”

The receptionist hurriedly explained the situation as she understood it. “CEO Lu, Lin Chuan hit this elderly man. Not only did he refuse to apologize, but he also acted arrogantly and tried to force his way inside. I had no choice but to call security to stop him…”

Lu Chaoge listened to her explanation, then glanced at the old man’s injuries before shifting her gaze back to Lin Chuan.

“Is this true?” she asked.

“No,” Lin Chuan shook his head. “That old man fell on his own. I never touched him.”

“CEO Lu, he’s lying—”

The receptionist immediately panicked when she saw Lin Chuan still trying to deny it.

Lu Chaoge turned to her. “How do you know he’s lying? Have you checked the security footage?”

“I…” The receptionist hesitated. “I haven’t had a chance to check yet, but you know what kind of person he is. How could we trust what he says—”

“Since you haven’t checked the footage, what gives you the right to say he’s lying?” Lu Chaoge cut her off coldly.

The receptionist was completely dumbfounded.

This didn’t make sense.

Lu Chaoge had always despised Lin Chuan. She never hesitated to humiliate him in public.

“As the superior, so the subordinates.”

Because of Lu Chaoge’s attitude toward him, the entire company treated Lin Chuan with hostility.

This receptionist, in particular, had given him trouble several times before.

But Lu Chaoge had never reprimanded her for it—in fact, she usually just ignored it.

This gave the receptionist a sense of confidence, making her believe that no matter how she treated Lin Chuan, Lu Chaoge wouldn’t intervene.

Yet now… Lu Chaoge’s tone sounded like she was scolding her?

What’s going on? Why has CEO Lu’s attitude suddenly changed?

“Even if I haven’t checked the footage yet, this elderly man clearly insists that he was hit. He doesn’t even know Lin Chuan—why would he falsely accuse him?”

Desperate, the receptionist pointed at the old man as her strongest argument.

Lu Chaoge turned to the old man.

“And who are you?”

The old man immediately put on a fawning smile. “CEO Lu, hello! I came here today to discuss a business deal with you.”

“A business deal?” Lu Chaoge narrowed her eyes in confusion.

“I heard your company is looking to purchase century-old wild ginseng. Well, I happen to have one—it’s been passed down in my family for over a hundred years. I brought it here to see if you’d be interested.”

As he spoke, he lifted the wooden box in his hands.
