Lin Yu saw that the moment Dong Liya had someone with her, she seemed to forget all the despicable things she’d done.
She even had the gall to mock him without a shred of guilt.
This enraged Lin Yu even more, and he abruptly took a step forward.
Dong Liya instantly felt a chill run through her.
She remembered how menacing Lin Yu had looked at her place.
Her recently calmed nerves flared up again with tension and panic, and she didn’t dare say another word.
“Whether I dined and dashed isn’t for you to decide.
Besides, even if I did, it would be none of your business.”
“Now get out of my way.”
With that, Lin Yu walked straight toward the private room.
“Lin Yu, you stop right there!
You think you can just walk away after bullying Liya?”
Lu Chunxue was Lin Yu’s direct supervisor.
‘He’d already shown her zero respect, refusing to attend her birthday party in front of so many employees.
He’d even publicly embarrassed her over some debt collection issue.
And now he had the audacity to bully her best friend?’ The more Lu Chunxue thought about it, the angrier she got.
She deliberately raised her voice, shouting, “What’s an ex-con scumbag like you got to be so arrogant about?
You’re just trying to sneak away, aren’t you?”
“Lin Yu, apologize to Liya right now, or don’t even think about leaving.”
“Liya, isn’t it true you left him because he was always violent toward you?”
“It looks like two years in prison did nothing.
He’s still the same, maybe even worse!
And now he’s causing trouble right here at Azure Horizon!”
Dong Liya was a little stunned.
When she was with Lin Yu, he had always been so good to her.
Once, when she had a cold and a fever, he had even carried her on his back for several kilometers to the hospital.
But Dong Liya quickly recovered, putting on a pained expression.
She didn’t dare to speak too loudly, but she played along.
“Chunxue, please stop… It’s my fault for being so foolish and naive.
I thought that if I begged you to help him get a job at Dingsheng Group, he would turn over a new leaf.
Who knew…”
“He learned nothing from two years in the slammer.
He’s still the same rotten person he was before.
I truly regret ever pleading for him… *sob*…”
Listening to the two women, Chen Luo instantly understood the history between Lin Yu and Dong Liya.
He despised men who hit women more than anyone!
He also wanted to impress Lu Chunxue.
Chen Luo looked up at Lin Yu, his face filled with rage.
“Lin Yu, Miss Dong is such a gentle woman!
How could you bring yourself to lay a hand on her?
You’re a real piece of trash!”
“And even after that, she was still trying to help you.
Have you no conscience?!”
“Now do as Manager Lu said and apologize to Miss Dong.
Otherwise, you’ll have me to deal with.”
The way Lu Chunxue and Dong Liya were acting, calling black white, made Lin Yu laugh out of sheer fury.
Seeing Lin Yu stand there, speechless, Chen Luo’s contempt for him grew.
He sneered, “I told you to apologize to Manager Lu and Miss Dong.
Are you deaf?”
Ignoring Chen Luo, Lin Yu continued walking forward.
Chen Luo felt slighted and flew into a rage.
He blocked Lin Yu’s path and threw a punch at his face.
Chen Luo had a background in the criminal underworld and had even competed in fighting tournaments.
An ordinary person would never be able to withstand such a punch.
Lu Chunxue knew Chen Luo’s background and was thrilled.
‘He’s finally making a move!’ Dong Liya also saw that Chen Luo was tall and powerfully built.
Next to him, Lin Yu looked small and scrawny.
‘Finally, someone is going to put him in his place for me!’ she thought.
Lin Yu raised his hand and effortlessly caught Chen Luo’s fist.
He channeled his strength and gave it a sharp twist.
CRACK!
It sounded like Chen Luo’s arm had snapped.
The three of them were struck dumb.
Chen Luo’s face contorted in agony.
He roared at Lin Yu.
He had been utterly humiliated in front of Lu Chunxue and Dong Liya.
Unable to swallow his pride, he fought through the searing pain and launched a kick at Lin Yu.
“Lin Yu, you’re courting death!”
But Lin Yu was faster.
He planted a kick square in Chen Luo’s chest, sending him flying backward into a wall.
A sharp, cracking pain radiated from Chen Luo’s sternum, and he gasped repeatedly.
Seeing Lin Yu approaching him again, Chen Luo’s face filled with terror as he clutched his chest.
“Lin Yu, I’m your supervisor!
Are you going to hit me?”
“This is Azure Horizon!
You can’t just do whatever you want here!”
Seeing that Lin Yu was completely unfazed, Chen Luo glanced toward Lu Chunxue, then lowered his head, wanting to crawl into a hole.
He gritted his teeth and said shamefully, “I’m sorry.
I shouldn’t have messed with you.”
“It won’t happen again.”
Only then did Lin Yu halt, giving Chen Luo a single, indifferent glance.
Chen Luo didn’t dare meet Lin Yu’s eyes.
A moment ago, he had been blindly confident in his skills, but now he had paid a heavy price.
He lowered his head in bitter defeat.
Lin Yu turned and walked toward Lu Chunxue and Dong Liya, who were still staring blankly.
‘These two women are in this together.
How infuriating.
How despicable.’
A chill ran through Dong Liya under Lin Yu’s gaze.
She grabbed Lu Chunxue’s arm and backed away repeatedly, her lips trembling, unable to utter a single word.
Lu Chunxue’s face was also pale, and her words came out haltingly as she tried to sound severe in her warning.
“L-Lin Yu, what do you think you’re doing?”
“Lin Yu, you only got a job at our company because the HR department did it as a favor to me.”
“I gave you a chance to earn a living.
It’s bad enough that you’re not grateful, but are you actually going to lay a hand on me now?”
Lin Yu walked right up to the two women and said coldly, “You two know better than anyone why you let me into the company, don’t you?”
Dong Liya mustered her courage to defend Lu Chunxue.
“Lin Yu, you’re an ex-con.
No one would dare hire you.
If it weren’t for Chunxue, do you really think you could have gotten a job at her company?”
“Chunxue was just trying to help you!
Fine, don’t thank her, but how dare you treat your boss with this attitude?
And as for not coming to her birthday party, she wasn’t even going to hold that against you.”
