Chapter 434: Crushing the White Family

The car door of the black BMW popped open with a click!

Bai Guiyuan stepped out of the car slowly.

He brought no one, not even a driver; he came alone!

Bai Guiyuan hauled a heavy black cash box with both hands… and bent to get out of the car.

When the edge of the cash box scraped the car door, it let out a dull thud.

He hurried his steps toward Lin Yuan…

Bai Guiyuan's leather shoes stepped on the stone slabs at the bar entrance.

The "dong-dong" sound rang out especially clear amid the thugs' wails.

The onlooking customers and guards instinctively held their breath, their gazes snapping onto him.

This guy is the big boss of Bai Jihan, a tyrant who dominates Jiangnan's Grey Dao!

Bai Guiyuan walked up to Lin Yuan and stood firm; the two instantly locked eyes.

Lin Yuan sat in the chair, steady as Mount Tai, his foot still pressing on Baihejie's head, his eyes carrying a hint of nonchalant amusement.

Bai Guiyuan slightly hunched his back, cold sweat beading his forehead, even his breathing grew a bit shallower.

Baihejie, pinned underfoot, let out a weak whimper from his throat.

Baihejie tried to lift his head, but Lin Yuan's sole pressed down lightly, forcing his cheek back onto the cold floor; he could only hold his breath in resignation.

Lin Yuan broke the silence first.

Lin Yuan tapped the chair armrest lightly with his fingertip, his voice tinged with teasing: "Mr. Bai, how do you intend to explain yourself to me?"

Bai Guiyuan hesitated not at all, then bowed deeply toward Lin Yuan.

Bai Guiyuan bent his waist nearly parallel to the ground, the cash box in his hands hanging at his side, his voice full of remorse:

"Sorry! Brother Xiao Lin, it's my son's fault!"

He kept his bow, didn't rise, and continued:

"It's my poor discipline that let him keep causing you trouble, and tonight he even brought a crowd to stir up the bar—my failure as a father, bringing all this trouble to you and the bar; I sincerely apologize to you!"

The onlookers around were all shocked!

Good heavens!

Bai Guiyuan is also a big shot with clout around here!

He commands the underworld, calling wind and summoning rain!

But now, for his son's sake, he actually bowed his head to Lin Yuan?!

How lowly he's thrown himself!

Lin Yuan watched the bent Bai Guiyuan, a cold curve touching the corner of his mouth.

To be honest, he was also a bit surprised?

This Bai Guiyuan actually gave him a sudden bow?

This doesn't look at all like a jianghu big boss.

The crowd suddenly erupted, someone sucking in a breath of cold air, their voice changing: "Good heavens! Is that Bai Jihan's Chairman, Bai Guiyuan? He actually bowed to someone?"

Everyone watched, stunned!

Everyone's eyes were glued to Bai Guiyuan's bent back!

After all, given Bai Guiyuan's stature, this bow shocked people more than any fight scene.

Baihejie, still underfoot, seeing his father constantly bent, struggled up, his face flushed red, his voice hoarse as he shouted:

"Dad, why are you bowing to him?! You're the Chairman of Bai Jihan! Dad, what are you doing?!"

His voice was full of humiliation and bewilderment; in his eyes, his father had always been lofty—never mind bowing, he rarely even bothered to be polite to others normally!

But now his father bent toward Lin Yuan, which he simply couldn't accept.

Father Bai Guiyuan jerked upright, turned his head to look at the prone Baihejie, eyes bulging red, chest heaving, and bellowed at him:

"Shut up! You good-for-nothing wastrel!"

Bai Guiyuan stepped forward two paces, lifted his foot and gave Baihejie a light kick, his tone full of "wish you were better" frustration:

"If it weren't for your clueless arrogance, repeatedly stirring up trouble for Brother Lin and dragging things to this point, would I need to humble myself here and apologize?"

Baihejie tried to retort, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Bai Guiyuan's fiercer glare shut him down.

Bai Guiyuan said coldly, "If Brother Lin doesn't show mercy today, whether you can keep your life is doubtful—yet you still dare to nitpick? Lie still and behave!"

The onlookers saw this, and the murmuring died instantly; nobody dared to speak loudly anymore.

Anyone could see Bai Guiyuan was genuinely panicked now, and truly afraid Lin Yuan would lay a hand on Baihejie.

Lin Yuan eased the pressure of his foot on Baihejie's head a little, but didn't let him rise.

Lin Yuan merely said lightly, "Mr. Bai, apologies sound nice, but here mere words won't settle things—I want an attitude."

Bai Guiyuan quickly straightened, pushed the cash box forward with both hands, the metal latch on the box still glinting coldly:

"Rest easy, Brother Xiao Lin—I've long prepared the compensation! Inside are ten million in cash, to make up for tonight's bar losses and your fright!"

Bai Guiyuan hastily set the cash box on the ground and clicked open the latch with a "click"!

Stacks of fresh hundred‑dollar bills lay neatly inside, red notes piled high, visibly thick to the eye!

Exactly ten million.

The onlookers held their breath at once.

Someone couldn't help but suck in a breath: "My god, they really gave ten million? That's way too generous!"

Pan Jia sidled up to Lin Yuan, glanced at the cash box, then quickly looked at Lin Yuan, waiting for his decision.

Lin Yuan's mind flashed with the Goddess Lin Yun'er's reminder.

Lin Yuan put away his phone, lifted his foot from Baihejie's head, and coldly told the person on the ground: "Fine, you can scram."

Baihejie hadn't reacted yet when Lin Yuan suddenly lifted his leg and kicked him in the buttocks; the force wasn't large but enough to make him stagger two steps forward and fall at Bai Guiyuan's feet.

Bai Guiyuan hurried forward to support his son, but didn't dare speak more, merely looking nervously at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan's gaze swept over Baihejie's disheveled back, his voice cold as ice: "This is your last chance; your hands and feet are still intact."

He took a step forward, the shadow enveloped Baihejie,

Lin Yuan's tone was full of threat: "If there's a next time, I'll break your hands and feet; then even if your dad brings more money, he won't be able to save you."

Baihejie shuddered all over, frightened by Lin Yuan's gaze and dared not raise his head.

Baihejie merely gritted his teeth, not daring to take a breath.

Bai Guiyuan hurriedly pulled his son backward.

Bai Guiyuan repeatedly cupped his fists toward Lin Yuan: "Thank you, Lin brother! Thank you, Lin brother! We're leaving now; we will never bother you again!"

While saying that, he dragged the still-dazed Baihejie toward the BMW, his steps fast as if fearing Lin Yuan might change his mind.

Pan Jia and the others stood aside, all stunned!

Damn!

Manager Lin is also too badass!

Tonight!

Even the big boss of Bai Jinhan has to bow to Manager Lin?!

Pan Jia and the others breathed rapidly, feeling extremely excited tonight!

From now on, they'll have to follow Manager Lin wholeheartedly!

Lin Yuan's battle tonight completely convinced Pan Jia and the others! Their admiration for him grew even more!

Bai Guiyuan grabbed Baihejie's arm and dragged him toward the BMW, his staggering steps still showing unwillingness.

When Baihejie reached the car, he suddenly turned and spat toward Lin Yuan's direction, voice full of resentful hatred: "Lin Yuan! Don't get cocky! This time you were ruthless!"

He Jie covered his still-painful face, his gaze sinister and vicious as he added: "I'll sooner or later find your family; these days, tell them to be careful!"

Lin Yuan had still been standing by the cash box; upon hearing the two words "family," his eyes turned cold instantly and his fierce aura erupted.

Before Baihejie could speak again, Lin Yuan moved swiftly like a fleeting shadow, blinking and arriving beside the BMW.

Baihejie hadn't reacted yet when he felt a piercing pain in his right knee.

"Crack!" a crisp sound!

Lin Yuan kicked hard at the outside of his knee!

That kick's force……was so great Baihejie's knee dislocated instantly, his body uncontrollably falling with a "thud" to kneel on the ground.

"Ah!! My leg!!"

Baihejie writhed in pain, his forehead instantly covered in cold sweat, his anguished scream sharp enough to pierce the night sky!

Baihejie clutched his dislocated knee with both hands, rolling back and forth on the ground, tears and bloody foam mixing as they streamed down.

Bai Guiyuan saw this, his pupils contracting sharply!

Bai Guiyuan's previous meekness was instantly replaced by fury; he rushed forward, pointing at Lin Yuan, his voice trembling:

"Lin Yuan! Don't go too far! I've already given you 10 million! What more do you want?! Release my son quickly!"

Lin Yuan stared at the wailing Baihejie on the ground, his eyes devoid of any pity.

He coldly told Bai Guiyuan: "Excessive? It was your son who first crossed the line."

Lin Yuan lifted his foot, lightly pressing on Baihejie's uninjured left knee, gradually increasing the force.

"I can tolerate threats against me. But dare to move someone close to me, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Baihejie let out another anguished cry under the pressure, his left knee also beginning to ache; he could only hoarsely beg: "I was wrong…… I won't dare again…… Don't hurt my leg……"

Lin Yuan didn't stop, speaking to Bai Guiyuan word by word: "Originally, out of respect for you, I intended to let him go. But now he threatened my family, so I won't let him go."

The surrounding onlookers were all stunned, no one daring to step forward to dissuade!

Lin Yuan's aura now was too frightening; the coldness in his eyes kept people from approaching.

Bai Guiyuan watched Lin Yuan's foot pressing on his son's left knee, and caught sight of his son's face twisted in pain; his heart felt as if clenched, unbearable!

He feared Lin Yuan would really strike hard, leaving his son completely disabled……

Bai Guiyuan hurriedly rushed forward two steps, waving his hands and shouting: "Lin brother! Don't! Please don't hurt him! It's our fault! I'll apologize again!"

Hardly had he finished speaking when Bai Guiyuan bowed deeply to Lin Yuan again!

This time he bent lower than before, almost touching the ground.

Bai Guiyuan's hands hung at his sides, his voice full of pleading: "Sorry! It's my fault for not disciplining my son, letting him offend you and your family without restraint! Xiao Lin brother, I make amends! Please, for my sake, spare my son this once!"

The surrounding onlookers were all stunned.

Bai Guiyuan maintained his bowing posture, turning his head to glare at his son Baihejie still struggling on the ground.

Bai Guiyuan's voice suddenly rose: "Trash! What are you staring at? Quickly kneel and apologize to Lin brother! Apologize to Miss Su!"

Baihejie jerked his head up, eyes bloodshot, face full of disbelief: "Dad! You want me to kneel to him? I'm the young master of Bai Jinhan! What right—"

"What right?" Bai Guiyuan roared, cutting him off, stepping forward and grabbing his collar, forcibly pressing him to the ground.

"Just because you almost crippled your own leg! Just because you offended someone you shouldn't have! If you don't kneel and apologize today, no one can save you!"

Baihejie, held down by his father, went rigid, his knee grinding painfully on the ground; humiliating tears welled up instantly, yet he dared not resist further.

He feared Lin Yuan would really break his leg.

"Yes…… sorry……" Baihejie's voice trembled with tears, his head lowered so far he could see the pebbles on the ground.

"Lin brother, I was wrong; I shouldn't have threatened Miss Su, I'll never dare again……"

Lin Yuan, however, didn't lift his foot; his gaze remained icy, fixed on Baihejie as he coldly uttered two words:

"Not enough."
