第94章 "隐秘的绊脚石" (Hidden Hindrance)

**94章：暗流的渊源**

Chen Yang's eyes seemed to bore into Lin Xuan's very soul as he demanded the truth. "What's your relationship with Ou Yang Hao?" he repeated, his voice firm but controlled.

Lin Xuan's face remained impassive, but Chen Yang detected a flicker of tension in his eyes. "I've already told you, Chen Yang, we're just colleagues."

Chen Yang snorted. "Colleagues? You're hiding something from me. I can see it in your eyes."

Lin Xuan's expression turned cold. "You're just making assumptions. I'm warning you, Chen Yang, I won't tolerate any further questioning."

The air was thick with tension as the two men stared each other down. Chen Yang could feel the weight of Lin Xuan's gaze, like a physical force pushing him back. But he refused to back down. He had a right to know the truth.

Just as it seemed like Lin Xuan was about to get up and leave, a sudden commotion erupted outside the office. The sound of shattering glass and shouting echoed through the hallway, followed by the heavy footsteps of security guards.

Chen Yang's head snapped towards the door, his instincts on high alert. "What's going on?" he demanded, turning back to Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan's face had transformed into a mask of calm. "I think it's just a minor incident. Let me go handle it."

But Chen Yang wasn't fooled. He saw the flash of concern in Lin Xuan's eyes, the hint of something more sinister beneath the surface. "I'm coming with you," he said, his hand already reaching for the door.

Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed. "You shouldn't be involved in this, Chen Yang. Trust me, you don't want to get caught up in this mess."

But Chen Yang was already out the door, his heart pounding in his chest. He had a feeling that he was about to uncover a secret that would change everything.

As he followed Lin Xuan through the chaotic hallway, he couldn't shake off the feeling that he was in over his head. But he refused to back down. He was determined to uncover the truth, no matter the cost.

And as they disappeared into the crowd, Lin Xuan's whispered words echoed in his mind: "You don't know what you're getting yourself into, Chen Yang. But it's too late now. The die is cast, and there's no going back..."

The chapter ends with a cliffhanger, leaving the reader wondering what's happening outside the office, what secrets Lin Xuan is hiding, and what consequences Chen Yang will face for getting involved.
