Chapter 434: Someone Always Has to Be the Cannon Fodder

Seeing the vice president about to leave, Sun Yunyun shouted.

"Wait."

The vice president stopped, smiled, and looked at Sun Yunyun.

He thought this was an honored guest of Lin Yang and must be treated courteously.

"Young friend, what's the matter?"

Seeing the vice president smile at her, Sun Yunyun couldn't help but frown.

In Modu, which Xuánmén person isn't arrogant?

They are only courteous to those stronger than themselves.

Where is there an old man like this, unaware of his own background, yet giving a near‑fawning smile?

Thus she became even more convinced that this person was a plant Lin Yang had brought.

She asked in a low voice: "The invitation you just gave—is it for the Xuánmén Exchange Meeting?"

"Yes."

Sun Yunyun snorted and said.

"You're lying—such an important thing as an invitation couldn't just be handed out casually!"

The earlier buzz‑cut man also chimed in.

"We came from Modu and have seen the world—don't think you can fool us!"

"Come on, speak the truth—did someone put you up to this?"

Saying that, he glanced at Lin Yang.

Now the vice president finally caught on.

It turns out this bunch isn't really acquainted with Lin Yang.

And they even took him for a con artist.

He snorted coldly and said to Sun Yunyun and the others.

"Are people from Modu that impressive?"

"I see you're just a bunch of frogs in a well."

"I tell you, if it weren't for Mr. Lin being here today, I'd have to give you a lesson!"

Having said that, he turned and left.

As the vice president was about to leave, Sun Yunyun said in a low voice.

"Nowadays, do con artists act so righteous and confident?"

"A con artist?"

The vice president stopped, narrowed his eyes, and looked at Sun Yunyun.

"Say that again?"

Under the vice president's gaze, Sun Yunyun shuddered.

Just then, the buzz‑cut man who had spoken earlier stepped forward in a stride, blocking Sun Yunyun.

He put on a stern face, looked at Lin Yang, and said.

"Kid, you'd better keep your companions in check."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for bullying an old man."

The glasses‑wearing man also pushed up his glasses and said.

"We're not hothouse flowers; don't think you can threaten us at will."

"If we really come to blows, don't blame us for not giving Yufan any face."

Xiao Yufan, hearing that, looked at the three and felt both amused and annoyed.

Feeling somewhat annoyed, she said to the glasses man.

"Cheng Qian, Tian Wen, I know you're capable—you don't need to give me face; do whatever you want."

Although she was speaking to Cheng Qian and Tian Wen, she was also addressing Lin Yang.

"If he wants to make a move, let him do it."

The vice president also turned his gaze to Lin Yang, waiting for a word from him before he would strike.

Lin Yang laughed: "Since they're saying all that, let's give them a little taste."

"Others even think Jinling is a helpless little wife to be bullied."

Hearing that, the vice president couldn't help but snort coldly.

"Mr. Lin, since you've spoken, I certainly can't lose face for the people of Jinling."

He put the invitation away and looked at Cheng Qian and Tian Wen.

"Young people, today I'll teach you a lesson so you know there are outsiders!"

Having said that, several small flying knives appeared in his hand.

The flying knives shot out, heading straight for Sun Yunyun and the others.

Faced with the fierce flying knives, Cheng Qian and the others were instantly stunned.

By the time they came to, several blood marks had already appeared on their bodies.

If those flying knives were meant to take their lives, they'd already be dead!

Thinking of this, Cheng Qian and the three broke out in a cold sweat on their foreheads.

The vice president gave a cold snort and said to the three.

"Today I'm sparing your lives only out of respect for Mr. Lin!"

"If there's a next time, I'll send you on your way!"

That fierce look made Cheng Qian and the two others quickly lower their heads.

Only then did it match their impression of a cultivator.

The three hurriedly apologized and said.

"Senior, we were wrong."

Facing the three's apology, the vice president paid no attention.

Instead, he smiled at Lin Yang and said.

"Mr. Lin, I still have something to do, I'll go first."

Lin Yang waved his hand and said, "Since you still have things to do, go ahead and get busy."

After the vice president left, Lin Yang looked at Sun Yunyun and the two others.

"Everyone, it's getting late, let's have a meal together."

Seeing the smile on Lin Yang's face, Cheng Qian and the two others exchanged a glance.

In their hearts, they began to doubt whether this person they thought was a hooligan really was.

Could it be that this person actually has some hidden identity?

After thinking, they felt they could probe for information at the dinner table.

Thus, Cheng Qian showed a smile to Lin Yang and said.

"Mr. Lin, right? Then I'll trouble you."

Seeing Cheng Qian's insincere smile, Lin Yang sneered inwardly.

But he did not expose them.

In his eyes, these people were no different from ants.

Just as they were about to go upstairs, Shao Bo, who had come by taxi, finally arrived.

As soon as he got out of the taxi, Shao Bo came over to Lin Yang with an aggressive manner.

"You're just a driver; what gave you the right to abandon me just now!"

"I demand you apologize!"

As for Lin Yang, Shao Bo found him extremely displeasing.

Seeing this, Xiao Yufan at the side spoke in a low voice.

"Shao Bo, Mr. Lin is my friend, not a driver!"

"This car is also his; he can give whoever he wants a ride, and you have no say!"

Hearing Xiao Yufan say that, Shao Bo snorted coldly.

"That Mercedes-Maybach worth tens of millions—can he even afford to drive it?"

"Even if it were given to him to drive, he couldn't even afford the fuel and maintenance costs."

Saying that, he looked Lin Yang up and down and said.

"I know some big bosses like to dress low-key and enjoy pretending to be weak to eat the strong."

"But do you think you're that kind of person?"

"A poor kid like you, I can tell at a glance."

Hearing Shao Bo's words, Xiao Yufan's face grew increasingly grim.

"Shao Bo, shut your mouth!"

"Otherwise, I'm leaving right now."

Hearing that, Shao Bo glanced at Lin Yang with disdain, then picked up his luggage and walked toward the hotel.

"Didn't you say you were going to treat us to something to eat?"

"Then let's go; let me see what you can treat us to."

Seeing Shao Bo still arrogant, Cheng Qian thought about it but still didn't bring up what had just happened.

If they wanted to know Lin Yang's true identity, someone would have to offend him.

Now Shao Bo has jumped out; why wouldn't they go along with it?

After entering the hotel, as soon as Shao Bo sat down, he shouted.

"Give me a bottle of Lafite, Australian lobster, all to be air‑freighted from abroad."

Then, looking provocatively at Lin Yang, he said.

"These things aren't cheap."

"If you can't pay, tell me and I'll cover it."

"I'm not short of money right now."

Seeing Shao Bo's smug look, Lin Yang smiled and said.

"You're really rich?"

Shao Bo took out a cigar, lit it, exhaled a puff of smoke, then looked at Lin Yang and said.

"As a private‑equity manager, I handle three billion yuan in funds."

"The money I've seen, you've never seen in your lifetime."

"Do you think I'm broke?"
