He led his men on a search through Haitian Yise and finally found Lin Yu and the others in the hallway leading to the restrooms.
The moment he saw Lin Yu, Xie Mingcheng’s rage flared.
He roared, pointing a finger at Lin Yu, “Lin Yu, you’ve got some fucking nerve!
You dare bully Liya here?”
“Just see how I’m going to deal with you today.”
Before Lin Yu could speak, Dong Liya saw Xie Mingcheng and immediately threw herself into his arms, bursting into loud sobs.
“Mingcheng, you have no idea how arrogant Lin Yu was!
Look what he did to my face!
*Sob sob…*”
Lu Chunxue walked over as well.
When she saw the men with Xie Mingcheng, her gaze turned venomous as she looked at Lin Yu.
“Mingcheng, now that you’re here, you can’t let Lin Yu off easy.”
“A moment ago, he was using his strength as a man to shamelessly bully a girl.
Now that you’ve brought help, I’d love to see how he can possibly act so arrogant now.”
Xie Mingcheng patted Dong Liya’s back and nodded to Lu Chunxue.
“Liya, stop crying.
I’m here now.
I’ll make this right for you.”
Then, Xie Mingcheng jutted his chin at Lin Yu and pointed outside.
“Lin Yu, get the hell outside!
We’re not going to fight in here.
You can’t afford to pay for anything we break.”
“You guys, listen up,” he told his men.
“When we get outside, I want you to beat the hell out of him.
As long as you don’t kill him, I, Xie Mingcheng, will take full responsibility, even if he ends up crippled.”
“Damn you, Lin Yu.
How dare you bully Liya.
I’m going to make you regret the day you were born.”
The thugs behind Xie Mingcheng saw Lin Yu’s slender build and sneered.
‘A guy like that?
Just two of us could cripple him.’
The thugs nodded eagerly, letting out sinister chuckles as they cracked their knuckles.
Lin Yu looked at Xie Mingcheng and said coolly, “Xie Mingcheng, if I end up crippling these thugs, can you afford their medical bills?”
Xie Mingcheng froze for a second, then laughed with contempt.
“What?
Worried I can’t afford their medical bills?
You’re the one who’s going to be crippled, moron.
And let me tell you, if you get crippled, you won’t see a single cent from me for your hospital stay.”
“Why the hell are you wasting my time with this crap?
Are you coming outside or not?”
Lin Yu shook his head in disdain, then turned and walked out the main entrance of Haitian Yise.
Xie Mingcheng hastily followed with his thugs, Dong Liya, and Lu Chunxue.
Dong Liya urged impatiently, “Mingcheng, hurry up and tell them to do it.”
Lu Chunxue crossed her arms, a smirk slowly spreading across her face.
She watched Lin Yu with cold, mocking eyes.
“Lin Yu, I have to admit, I’m impressed.
You can still put on such a nonchalant act at a time like this.”
“But pretending won’t do you any good.
When they beat you to the ground, don’t you dare beg for mercy.”
Lin Yu glanced at Xie Mingcheng and the two women, his expression as calm as ever.
“Xie Mingcheng, if you’re going to do something, tell your men to get on with it.
I have other things to do.”
Xie Mingcheng let out a loud laugh.
“You’re really keeping up the act, aren’t you?
Fine.
Fine.”
“Get him!
Beat him half to death!
Whoever does the best job gets an extra five hundred bucks!”
Hearing there was an extra reward, the thugs’ eyes lit up.
They immediately charged at Lin Yu, each one trying to outdo the last as they threw a flurry of punches and kicks.
Lin Yu stood his ground, motionless.
Just as the fist of the foremost thug was about to connect with his face, he finally raised a hand, caught the punch, and squeezed.
CRACK!
The thug let out a piercing scream as Lin Yu snapped his wrist.
A swift kick to the knee sent him crumpling to the ground with a THUD.
In the next instant, Lin Yu struck again and again, felling the rest of the thugs one by one until they were all on the ground.
Watching the thugs writhing and wailing on the ground, Xie Mingcheng, Dong Liya, and Lu Chunxue all felt their faces twitch.
Cold sweat broke out on their foreheads as they stared, completely stunned.
“Anyone else?
If not, I’ll be leaving.”
They didn’t snap out of it until Lin Yu spoke, his contemptuous gaze sweeping over the three of them.
Xie Mingcheng clenched his fists, grabbing Dong Liya and Lu Chunxue and pulling them back inside the entrance.
Seeing Lin Yu walk toward the entrance, Xie Mingcheng said with a nervous expression, “Lin Yu!
Don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you learned a few moves in prison and my guys couldn’t take you!”
“This is Brother Long’s territory!
You dare start a fight inside Haitian Yise?
Just try it!”
Lin Yu said with a sneer, “Then I’ll try.”
Seeing that Lin Yu was ready to fight again, Lu Chunxue flinched and quickly reminded Xie Mingcheng, “Mingcheng, aren’t you a high-level VIP here?
Why don’t you call Brother Long right now?”
“This is Brother Long’s turf, after all.
If Lin Yu dares to cause trouble here, Brother Long will definitely step in, especially given your status.”
Jolted by Lu Chunxue’s reminder, the still-dazed Dong Liya quickly chimed in, “Chunxue’s right!
There’s no way Brother Long will let Lin Yu cause trouble on his turf!”
“Mingcheng, hurry up and call Brother Long!”
Xie Mingcheng hastily pulled out his phone.
He scrolled through his contacts, found Xing Tianlong’s number, and was just about to call when he saw Manager Huang leading Xing Tianlong himself down the stairs.
The two men glanced in their direction and started walking over.
“No need to call.
Brother Long is here.”
Xie Mingcheng put his phone away and smiled.
He looked at Lin Yu with a smug expression and said, “I was just wondering how I was going to find Brother Long, and here he is!
This is perfect.”
“Lin Yu, let me tell you, I’m a high-level VIP member at Haitian Yise.
You picked a fight with me here today, so just you wait.
Brother Long is going to deal with you.”
At his words, both Lu Chunxue and Dong Liya smiled.
Lu Chunxue said, “Lin Yu, you probably don’t even know who Brother Long is, do you?
Let me enlighten you.
In Guyang City, it doesn’t matter who you are or what circles you run in, everyone shows Brother Long some respect.”
“Brother Long is a major figure in Guyang City!
Don’t think you’re invincible just because you know a little kung fu and took care of a few thugs.”
“In front of Brother Long, you’re nothing!
Now that he’s here, let’s see if you still dare to act so high and mighty.”
The terror on Dong Liya’s face vanished, replaced by a smile.
“Lin Yu,” she said, “did you really think no one in Guyang City could put you in your place?”
“Now that Brother Long is here, you’re finished.”
Lin Yu let out a soft “Oh?” and said, “Is that right?”
Just then, Xing Tianlong and Manager Huang arrived in front of Lin Yu and the others.
