Chapter 80: Show Mercy

Lin Yu gently patted her back and comforted her, "With me here, it's fine." Then he gave Xiao Chengzhou a wink, signaling him to bring the bald man over.

Seeing Xiao Chengzhou skillfully undo the restraints on the bald man, Lin Yu began to take an interest in the techniques he was using, as the method seemed to combine skills from massage and Acupuncture.

After regaining his freedom, the bald man cursed loudly, "Do you know who I am? You dare to lay a hand on us, without even asking who Brother Guangzi of Huacheng is..." Before he could finish, Lin Yu easily crushed his new mobile phone, the latest top-spec Fruit 15 worth over twenty thousand.

The bald man was both heartbroken and terrified, realizing that the person before him was not someone to be trifled with, so he immediately put on a smiling face and said, "Big Brother, I didn't recognize Mount Tai; you are a magnanimous person, please forgive me. I was just following orders."

Lin Yu casually threw away the phone fragments in his hand and said calmly, "Go back and tell them that Liao Yanyan is under my protection. If you want to find someone, go to Miaojie Zhongcaotang." His gaze made the bald man feel terror from the bottom of his heart.

At this moment, Xiao Chengzhou also untied the others and shouted, "Get lost."

The bald man hurriedly nodded and bowed as he fled back to the car, taking his men and slinking away.

Meanwhile, in a luxurious private room at the Famous Gate Night Banquet, seven or eight well-known female internet celebrities gathered together.

They were all artists under Molong Media, and the four "big shots" present were Long Yiqing of the Huacheng Long Family, the young master of Huayu Media, Hua Yan, Zheng Jiawei, the son of Zhenghe Pharmaceutical CEO Zheng Zemin, and the prominent lawyer of the Qincheng Wang Family, Wang Haihong.

Feng Yuanyuan's husband had commissioned Liu Zhiming of Molong Media to organize a dinner, aiming to let Han Fa get to know a few so-called "big shots" to expand his connections. The atmosphere in the private room was heated, filled with smoke and the stench of alcohol, and everyone was chatting and laughing.

Liu Zhiming enthusiastically introduced these "big shots" to Han Fa, a fawning smile on his face.

However, Long Yiqing appeared preoccupied; his previous conflict with Professor Kaidet had left him in a bad mood.

"This is Young Master Long; the Huacheng Long Family is a force to be reckoned with in Jingcheng." Liu Zhiming said as he introduced him, "Young Master Long, this is my alumnus Han Fa, a leader in the pharmaceutical sales industry."

For the success of this gathering, Han Fa promised to give Liu Zhiming one million as a reward.

At the party, he held his wine glass humbly and toasted with a face full of smiles: "Young Master Long, I've long admired your name! I hope we have a chance to cooperate." But Long Yiqing did not pay much attention, only taking a symbolic sip of wine.

At this time, the bald man suddenly burst in, and Liu Zhiming hurriedly asked about the situation with Yanyan.

Upon learning that they had encountered trouble and that Liao Yanyan had not been brought back, Liu Zhiming was furious.

And when they heard the other party mention the name Lin Yu, everyone was stunned.

Zheng Jiawei, having just arrived in Huacheng, knew nothing about Lin Yu, and under the influence of alcohol, he impulsively declared that he would smash up Zhongcaotang.

The others secretly calculated how to use this opportunity to deal with Lin Yu, eventually deciding to lead a group of thugs to Miao Street.

At eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, seven or eight cars drove into Miao Street, surrounding Zhongcaotang so tightly that not even water could pass through.

The car headlights illuminated the entire shop, and the music was deafening.

However, only Zheng Jiawei got out of the car, charging toward the door of Zhongcaotang with a baseball bat in hand, shouting loudly, "Hurry up and hand over Yanyan."

The rest sat in the cars, waiting for the situation to develop.

That night, Miao Street was shrouded in an unusual silence.

A drunken man stood in the middle of the street, shouting loudly at the herbal medicine shop "Zhongcaotang," yet he couldn't even remember the name of the person he was there to provoke.

"What was this guy's name again?" He turned to ask his companions in the car.

Han Fa rolled down the car window and reminded him, "Lin Yu."

"Got it." Zheng Jiawei muttered, then turned back to Zhongcaotang and spouted wild words: "Lin Yu, you useless thing, get out here! You dare to compete with me for a girlfriend? I'm going to teach you a lesson today."

His voice pierced the night sky, echoing through the quiet street.

A group of thugs holding clubs and knives rushed toward the shop with him, causing destruction at will.

Inside the shop, Lin Yu softly comforted the frightened Liao Yanyan, "Don't be afraid, it's fine."

At the same time, Chu Yueyun and Wang Haisheng also rushed over from the backyard, but Wu Shuping was nowhere to be seen.

Lin Yu asked suspiciously, "Where is my Third Aunt?" After learning that she had gone out in the afternoon and had not returned, he decided to go check on the situation himself.

When Lin Yu walked into the shop and saw the mess on the floor, Zheng Jiawei was threatening him with a baseball bat.

But just as Zheng Jiawei was about to attack, Xiao Chengzhou moved quickly, and with a single move, he had the man rolling on the ground in pain.

Immediately after, the thugs who attempted to surround Lin Yu were also subdued one by one.

Witnessing all this, Liu Zhiming and Han Fa were dumbfounded in the car.

Lin Yu calmly brought out a chair and sat at the shop entrance, ordering Xiao Chengzhou to keep all the intruders there for disposal.

The night lights illuminated the open space as if it were broad daylight.

As soon as Xiao Chengzhou rushed into the crowd, painful screams followed.

Having experienced a lesson once, the bald man did not want to take any more risks and quickly locked the car doors.

Through the car windows, they watched in terror as Xiao Chengzhou mowed down all the thugs as if he were chopping melons and vegetables.

Just as Xiao Chengzhou was about to open the door of Wang Haihong's car, an old woman suddenly stepped out.

She was Gong Yan, an expert in Internal Energy martial arts by Wang Haihong's side. "Old thief, your injuries recovered quite quickly; who healed you?"

Facing his enemy, Xiao Chengzhou's eyes widened in anger, and he replied coldly, "Last time you ambushed me, otherwise you would never have been my match."

Before he finished speaking, he lunged at Gong Yan.

Although Gong Yan was skilled in Bagua Palm, she still fell victim to Xiao Chengzhou's hidden "Lock-Falling" technique.

Seeing Gong Yan kicked away, she endured the intense pain to stand up, using her Internal Energy to force open her sealed meridians and acupoints.

Although she failed to completely undo the "Lock-Falling" and her movements were slightly sluggish, she still stood in front of Wang Haihong's car, blocking Xiao Chengzhou's attack.

After a fierce battle, Xiao Chengzhou's stamina was exhausted, and they fell into a stalemate.

Lin Yu realized that against an Internal Energy martial arts expert, "Lock-Falling" was of little use, because these experts practiced the Tuna Method and could easily force open their meridians and acupoints.

Thus, Xiao Chengzhou feigned a retreat, and a white-haired old man suddenly jumped out of Hua Yan's car, striking a palm at Xiao Chengzhou's back.

Lin Yu flashed over in time to protect Xiao Chengzhou, trading a palm strike with the old man and sending him reeling back into the hood of Hua Yan's car.

"Uncle Dong." Hua Yan wanted to get out of the car to check, but was stopped by the old man.

"Young Master, no." The old man's hand was in unbearable pain from that palm strike; it was clearly broken.

He looked at Lin Yu in surprise and said, "To have such deep Internal Energy foundation at such a young age, how is this possible?"

However, Lin Yu ignored him, only tapping Xiao Chengzhou's back a few times to clear his hidden injuries.

Gong Yan cupped her fists respectfully toward Lin Yu and said, "We were just here to watch the excitement; the ones causing you trouble are others, it has nothing to do with us, please show mercy."
