Chapter 16

Seeing Yuan Shu enter, Zhao Feiyan was about to step forward to explain.

Yuan Shu glanced at Lin Yang, then spoke in a low voice.

"Zhao Feiyan, it's work hours now; why did you bring an outsider to the company?"

"Moreover, he even hit my company's employee!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Feiyan felt somewhat in the wrong and couldn't speak.

Cheng Deng heard and hurriedly got up from the ground.

He covered his slapped-red face, sobbing with tears and snot.

"Yuan Shu, this unknown brat who came from nowhere hit me as soon as he came in; you have to stand up for me!"

Looking at Cheng Deng, tears and snot streaming, Lin Yang said.

"Your salty pig's hand disgusts Zhao Feiyan; it's only natural to hit you."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shu frowned.

She looked at Lin Yang, her eyes filled with disappointment.

"Lin Yang, have you healed your scar and forgotten the pain?"

"Even now you still think of fighting violence with violence; have you forgotten what happened that day?"

Seeing Yuan Shu's disappointed face, Lin Yang sneered.

"Don't forget, it was I, the one who fought violence with violence, who walked out safely that day."

"The successful person you admire has ruthlessly abandoned you."

These words hit Yuan Shu's sore spot, and she shouted emotionally.

"So what? You think you got out by yourself? It's only because Su Cheng pulled strings to find someone!"

"Otherwise, do you think you could have walked out of that room alive that day?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yang looked at Yuan Shu before him and said with a sneer.

"Su Cheng must have said that to you."

"Could he possibly deceive me?"

She pointed at Lin Yang and loudly said: "Your very presence here is the best proof!"

As for Yuan Shu, Lin Yang was utterly disappointed and couldn't be bothered to explain.

"Whatever you say is fine."

Seeing Lin Yang's attitude, Yuan Shu pulled out her phone and spoke loudly.

"You don't believe me? I'll call Su Cheng right now!"

She immediately dialed Su Cheng's number, and as soon as the call connected, she heard Su Cheng's voice.

"Yuan Shu, calling me at this hour—do you miss me?"

Yuan Shu instantly looked embarrassed; no matter what, Lin Yang is nominally her fiancé.

She coughed and quickly changed the subject.

"Su Cheng, did you call your father that day to save Lin Yang?"

"He's here with me now, still denying—tell him the truth!"

Su Cheng startled; that day he had indeed made a call.

But as soon as he got home, he received a One Slap from his father.

It warned him not to meddle in Zhang Tianhua's affairs, or else he wouldn't know how he would die.

Seeing his father's grim expression, it was clear the communication had failed; the Zhang family wouldn't give him face.

He naturally didn't dare ask further, subconsciously assuming Lin Yang was dead.

Now hearing Yuan Shu's words, he spoke somewhat unnaturally.

"That's only natural; for this matter my father even sacrificed a lot of face."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shu looked at Lin Yang.

"See? This is what a successful man should be like; this society isn't about fighting, but money and power!"

After hanging up, she looked at Lin Yang smugly.

At that moment, Lin Yang's phone rang; seeing it was Lu Linglong, he answered.

"I'm at Yuan Shu's company; come find me."

After hanging up, Lin Yang looked at Yuan Shu.

"The money and power you value are worthless in my eyes."

Throughout the Southwest, whether old aristocratic clans or first-rate families, if he wishes, he can wipe them all out overnight.

Therefore, the money and power that mortals esteem, he does not even glance at.

The heights he sees, Yuan Shu cannot perceive.

Yuan Shu heard Lin Yang's words and snorted derisively.

"Then go earn a million for me to see; don't talk so transcendent while spending Zhao Feiyan's money."

Cheng Deng, upon hearing that Lin Yang was actually eating Zhao Feiyan's soft rice, felt intense envy and jealousy.

His eyes rolled, and he immediately flung himself onto the ground.

"Ow, my head feels dizzy; that One Slap just gave me a concussion!"

Saying this, he also let out a few wails.

Seeing Cheng Deng lying on the ground, Yuan Shu did not stop him, and gave a cold sneer toward Lin Yang.

"You said money and power are worthless in your eyes, so why don't you handle this problem at hand?"

Seeing Yuan Shu's tacit approval, Cheng Deng shouted even louder.

"Ah, I feel nauseous and want to vomit, quickly take me to the hospital."

Zhao Feiyan saw this, her pretty face slightly changed color.

She had just wanted to ask Yuan Shu for help, but Lin Yang grabbed her.

Lin Yang walked up to Cheng Du and squatted down.

"You have a concussion, huh? Coincidentally, I just happen to know how to treat it."

Having said that, without giving him a chance to resist, he pressed a finger on his acupoint.

"Ah!"

A painful cry rang out, Cheng Du experienced Forehead Sweat Pouring.

"Looks like it's a bit serious, he can't even get up."

Having said that, he pressed another finger on his painful acupoint.

With that finger, Cheng Du couldn't help but shout loudly.

"Let me go, let me go!"

He felt excruciating pain all over, as if millions of ants were gnawing at him!

"You don't have a concussion? This family's secret art guarantees to cure concussions!"

Cheng Du groaned in pain.

"I don't have a concussion, I don't have a concussion."

Lin Yang smiled and unsealed his acupoints.

He stood up and looked toward Yuan Shu, saying.

"You see, is it resolved?"

Yuan Shu's face changed, he glared at Cheng Du.

"Useless thing!"

Upon hearing that, Cheng Du gritted his teeth and stared at Lin Yang.

"I don't have a concussion, but that One Slap injured me, I want you to pay compensation!"

"If you don't pay, I'll call the police; when the time comes I'll go to the hospital for an injury check, as long as I don't agree to a settlement, I can have you locked up!"

This scared Zhao Feiyan.

Yuan Shu then looked proudly at Lin Yang, as if saying, "You come and try to resolve this."

Before Lin Yang could speak, a gentle voice sounded.

"How much money do you want? I'll give it to you, and my Lu Family can also send you to the best hospital in the country for treatment."

Lu Linglong walked in, her pretty face tightly furrowed.

Upon hearing Lu Linglong's words, Cheng Du had not yet reacted.

"Who are you, speaking so arrogantly?"

"Lu Family, Lu Linglong!"

"If you nod, I'll call right now to send you to the best hospital."

"If you want money, I'll give you money; just name your price."

Now Cheng Du finally reacted.

He widened his eyes and stared at Lu Linglong.

"Miss Lu!"

Lu Linglong's expression was cold, she nodded and said.

"It's me!"

Then she respectfully looked toward Lin Yang.

"Mr. Lin, I'll handle this kind of extortion scum."

Cheng Du was frightened, gave a start, and shouted loudly.

"Miss Lu, I'm fine, I was just joking with Mr. Lin earlier!"

Someone like him with no background, how dare he offend the exalted Lu Family!

Let alone him not being injured, even if he really was injured, he'd have to say he's fine now.

Whether offending Yuan Shu or Lu Linglong is more serious, he knows it well.
