Manager Huang saw the few punks cowering on the ground, then looked at Lin Yu.
Seeing that Lin Yu was unharmed, he let out a heavy sigh of relief.
He had come downstairs earlier and run into Xie Mingcheng.
At the time, Xing Tianlong had grown concerned that the two other guests would become impatient waiting for Lin Yu, so he had sent Manager Huang to the restrooms to fetch him.
As Xie Mingcheng was leaving, Manager Huang vaguely heard him call out Lin Yu’s name.
He immediately sensed something was wrong, hurried upstairs to find Xing Tianlong, and told him what had happened.
Xing Tianlong quickly brought Manager Huang downstairs, only to see the scene before them.
Manager Huang quickly said, “Brother Long, it looks like Mr.
Lin is alright.”
Seeing that Lin Yu was fine, Xing Tianlong also breathed a sigh of relief.
His gaze swept over Xie Mingcheng and the other two, and his expression instantly turned cold and displeased.
Xie Mingcheng and his two companions had been watching Xing Tianlong’s expression the whole time.
‘Brother Long must be angry because Lin Yu is causing trouble at Azure Sky.’
Xie Mingcheng hurried forward, pointed at Lin Yu, and said to Xing Tianlong very politely, “Brother Long, my name is Xie Mingcheng.
I’m a long-time regular here at Azure Sky.”
“This kid dares to cause trouble on your turf?
He must have a death wish!
Brother Long, you can’t let him off easy today.”
Dong Liya also stepped forward and said, “Brother Long, Lin Yu is arrogant and overestimates himself.
He actually dared to come to your territory and stir up trouble.”
“Look what a mess he’s made of the entrance to your establishment!
It’s already affecting your business.
I suggest you make him pay for all your losses today.”
Lu Chunxue added, “Brother Long, I have another small request.
This scumbag Lin Yu relies on his meager fighting skills to bully girls without any restraint.”
“After you’re done dealing with Lin Yu, Brother Long, could you make him apologize to us?”
After they finished speaking, the three of them looked at Xing Tianlong, their eyes full of hope and their faces filled with anticipation.
After hearing them out, Xing Tianlong’s expression grew even darker.
When the trio saw that Xing Tianlong’s face was even uglier than before, they grew even more excited.
‘Brother Long has been completely enraged by Lin Yu’s actions.
Lin Yu is totally finished today.’
Xing Tianlong withdrew his gaze from the trio, ignoring them for the moment.
He walked over to Lin Yu and suddenly gave him a ninety-degree bow.
“Brother Lin, I’m sorry!”
Lin Yu was an important guest invited by Xing Tianlong, yet in the short time it took him to use the restroom, such an unpleasant incident had occurred!
Xing Tianlong knew that Lin Yu was definitely not the type to start trouble.
The three of them must have provoked Lin Yu first, forcing him to retaliate.
Lin Yu was the savior of Xing Tianlong’s father, and Xing Tianlong had always wanted to make a good impression on him.
He was terrified that Lin Yu would be angry.
Big Beard had specifically warned him that he could offend anyone but Lin Yu.
Seeing Xing Tianlong act so humbly, even bowing, toward Lin Yu, the three of them were completely stunned.
Their minds went blank.
Who was Xing Tianlong?
He was the king of Guyang City’s underground world.
“Brother Long, what are you doing?” Seeing how deferential Xing Tianlong was to Lin Yu, Xie Mingcheng recalled what he had just said and broke out in a cold sweat.
“You three, get on your knees, now!
Beg Brother Lin for forgiveness!
If he’s unhappy, I’ll kill you.”
Xing Tianlong rushed forward and kicked Xie Mingcheng in the leg, forcing him to his knees in front of Lin Yu.
He had a rule against hitting women, but his terrifying glare sent Lu Chunxue and Dong Liya stumbling backward in fear.
The trio was still in a daze, unable to process the meaning behind Xing Tianlong’s words for a moment, and remained frozen in place.
“Brother Long, what is…
what is this?”
With a dark expression, Xing Tianlong roared, “Are you three deaf?
I told you to slap yourselves ten times each, then apologize to Brother Lin and beg for his forgiveness!
Otherwise, none of you are leaving here alive today.”
After being roared at by Xing Tianlong, the trio finally snapped out of it.
Although they still didn’t understand what was going on, they all realized that Lin Yu and Xing Tianlong’s relationship was likely anything but simple.
Not daring to disobey Xing Tianlong, Lu Chunxue and Dong Liya knelt on either side of Xie Mingcheng, their faces burning with humiliation.
They wished the ground would open up and swallow them.
Apologizing was one thing, but slapping their own faces?
They couldn’t bring themselves to do it.
“Brother Long, I can apologize to Lin Yu, but can we skip the slapping?” Xie Mingcheng pleaded.
“Lin Yu, I’m sorry.
Brother Long, I’m the future daughter-in-law of the Xie family.
For my father-in-law’s sake, could you please…” Dong Liya was willing to apologize to Lin Yu, but to slap herself in front of him—she couldn’t do it!
In the past, Lin Yu had always been completely obedient to her; only she was allowed to bully him.
Now that the tables had turned, Dong Liya couldn’t accept it!
Xing Tianlong’s expression flashed with anger.
His icy gaze swept over the trio as he sneered.
“Are you trying to bargain with me?
And using the Xie family to pressure me?
Go ask that Xie Guangkun if he’d dare speak to me like this!”
“Since you’re not willing to slap yourselves, fine.
I’ll just break your arms and legs, and then you can apologize to Brother Lin.”
“No, no!
Brother Long, I’ll do it!
I’ll slap myself, okay?” Xie Mingcheng didn’t dare doubt Xing Tianlong’s words for a second.
He swallowed his humiliation.
He immediately raised his hand and slapped his own face hard.
After ten consecutive slaps, his face was already badly swollen.
Lu Chunxue fearfully lowered her head, raised her hand, and began slapping her own face.
She apologized to Lin Yu as she did so, her body trembling violently with suppressed indignation as tears welled up in her eyes.
Dong Liya saw Lu Chunxue and Xie Mingcheng slapping themselves and, terrified of having her limbs broken by Xing Tianlong for falling behind, desperately began to slap her own face.
“What’s wrong, haven’t you eaten?
Do you need me to help you?” Xing Tianlong roared.
Lu Chunxue and Dong Liya trembled in fear and immediately put more force into their slaps.
When they had finished slapping themselves, Xing Tianlong saw that their faces were swollen like steamed buns.
He looked at Lin Yu and asked, “Brother Lin, what do you want to do with these three now?”
Lin Yu gave a disdainful smile and said, “Let them scram.
Don’t let them stay here and be an eyesore.”
“Did you all hear that?” Xing Tianlong said, his face grim.
“And you’d better remember this: if you ever dare to trouble Brother Lin again, I definitely won’t let you off!”
“Now scram.”
Xing Tianlong’s words left the trio feeling extremely indignant, but they didn’t dare to utter a single word in rebuttal.
They could only nod repeatedly, trying their best to appear as humble as possible.
Just then, Manager Huang suddenly stepped forward, looked at Xie Mingcheng, and said coldly, “Xie Mingcheng, I hereby announce that, effective immediately, your premium VIP status at Azure Sky is permanently revoked.
Your VIP card is now void.”
“Furthermore, the three of you are banned from ever setting foot in Azure Sky again.”
The trio froze.
Xie Mingcheng, in particular, felt an overwhelming sense of suffocation and injustice.
Still, none of them dared to say a word.
‘He’s pretty good at handling things,’ Lin Yu glanced at Manager Huang.
As soon as the trio had left, Manager Huang had his men escort Lu Chunxue’s colleagues out as well.
They all looked completely bewildered, but they realized that Lu Chunxue must have offended someone important at Azure Sky.
Watching them leave, Xing Tianlong turned his head and said apologetically to Lin Yu, “Brother Lin, I also need to apologize to you.”
“To think that something like this would happen in the time it took you to use the restroom.
If I had known, I would have come down to check sooner.”
Lin Yu smiled.
“Brother Long, this has nothing to do with you.
You’re not a psychic.
In fact, I should be thanking you for what happened today.”
“You have a real sense of humor, Brother Lin!
It was what I should have done.” Seeing that Lin Yu didn’t say anything further, clearly satisfied with how he had handled the situation, Xing Tianlong couldn’t help but smile.
“Come, Brother Lin, let’s go upstairs.
Mr.
Tian and Yu Shishou are still waiting in the private room.”
