Wu Menglong flew into a rage, pointed at Lin Yu, and cursed, “Damn it, I tried to be nice, but you just had to push it, didn’t you?”
“Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance to get lost.
Now, you couldn’t leave even if you wanted to.”
He pulled out his phone and immediately called the front desk.
“Is this the front desk?
Send security to my office.
Someone’s here making trouble.
And remember, bring a lot of guys.”
After hanging up, Wu Menglong stared at Lin Yu with blatant arrogance.
“You’re finished, kid.”
Lin Yu was completely unfazed.
“We’ll see who’s finished,” he said calmly.
“I hope you still have the energy to talk like that in a little while,” Wu Menglong said with a sinister smile.
BANG!
Suddenly, his laughter cut short as a foot slammed into his abdomen, sending him flying backward into the wall.
The intense pain made him double over, clutching his stomach as he glared venomously at Lin Yu.
“You dare hit me?
Do you have any idea who I am?”
BANG!
Another kick landed on Wu Menglong’s abdomen.
This time, he was rolling on the floor in agony, wailing nonstop.
“You just wait!
When my men get here, I’m going to tear you limb from limb!”
The sound of hurried footsteps echoed from outside, and Wu Menglong saw the dozen or so security guards he had called for arrive.
He shouted urgently, “Break his arms and legs first, then bring him to me!
I’ll make him regret ever laying a hand on me!”
The dozen or so guards, wielding riot batons, immediately swarmed toward Lin Yu.
“Of all the people to mess with, you had to pick our President Wu?”
“Today, we’ll teach you a lesson written in blood.”
The guards spewed vicious threats, their faces fierce and menacing.
Clearly, this wasn’t the first time they’d done something like this.
Wu Menglong fought through the intense pain and laughed with excitement.
But in the next second, he froze completely, his jaw dropping.
Facing more than ten guards, Lin Yu’s fists were like lightning.
One punch, one man down.
In the blink of an eye, he had taken down seven or eight of them.
‘Looks like Dingsheng Group came prepared this time,’ he thought.
‘They actually found a trained fighter.’
Cold sweat beaded on Wu Menglong’s forehead as he watched.
He scrambled back into his office and locked the door.
He took out his phone and quickly dialed a number.
“Hello, is that Brother Long?
This is Xiaowu.”
“Xiaowu?
Which Xiaowu?”
“The one who traded an Imperial Green jade Buddha for a favor from you last time.
Wu Menglong.”
“Oh, it’s you.
What’s the matter?”
“Brother Long, someone’s causing trouble at my company.
My men can’t handle him.
I was hoping you could come deal with it.”
“Are you sure you want to use that favor?”
Wu Menglong was extremely reluctant, but Lin Yu was right outside, and the security guards were clearly no match for him.
‘Using a priceless jade Buddha to get Brother Long to take care of Lin Yu…
no matter how I look at it, it’s a huge loss.’
But right now, Wu Menglong had no better option.
He could only grit his teeth.
“I’m sure.
Brother Long, can you come quickly?
The kid is right outside.”
“Are you telling me how to do my job?”
“No, no, of course not.
I’ll just wait for you to get here, Brother Long.”
He hung up the phone.
Suddenly, with a loud CRASH, the locked office door was kicked off its hinges by an immense force.
Lin Yu walked in from outside, his pace unhurried.
Wu Menglong saw that in just a few moments, all dozen or so security guards were lying on the ground in disarray.
All the color drained from his face.
“Kid, don’t do anything rash.
Get the IOU.
I’ll pay the money.”
Lin Yu spread his hands.
“Didn’t you already tear up the IOU?”
Only then did Wu Menglong remember.
He said awkwardly, “No problem.
How much did our company owe you again, in total?”
Lin Yu said, “With interest, the total is thirteen million.”
Wu Menglong struggled to his feet, took a checkbook from his drawer, decisively signed a check, and handed it to Lin Yu.
Lin Yu accepted the check, his icy gaze sweeping over Wu Menglong.
“Alright.
The debt is settled.”
Just as Lin Yu was about to turn and leave, a powerful, booming voice echoed from the hallway.
“Where is Wu Menglong?
And where’s the guy who came here to make trouble?”
Wu Menglong, who had been burning with anxiety, heard the voice and immediately rushed outside.
The person who had arrived was none other than Xing Tianlong.
Although the Wu family’s business was large, it was still far inferior compared to the Xing family.
The Xing family controlled the massive underground economy of Guyang City.
They usually kept a low profile, but anyone in the know understood their power.
The Xing family was without a doubt a top-tier family in Guyang City, wielding immense influence.
After his father was imprisoned, Xing Tianlong took sole control of the Xing family.
Not only did their business not decline, but it flourished, all thanks to his ruthless methods.
Wu Menglong hurried over to Xing Tianlong, bowing and scraping, and said ecstatically, “Brother Long, you’re finally here!”
“That kid is right by the door.”
Xing Tianlong nodded.
His gaze swept to Lin Yu, and he felt a sense of familiarity.
He then pulled out his phone, carefully compared the man before him to a photo saved on it, and was suddenly overjoyed.
He rushed up to Lin Yu.
“Excuse me, are you Lin Yu?”
Lin Yu watched Xing Tianlong warily, frowning.
“That’s right, I’m Lin Yu.
If you’re going to make a move, get on with it.”
Xing Tianlong froze for a moment, then smiled.
“Could we speak in private?”
Seeing that the other man didn’t seem hostile, Lin Yu was surprised.
He nodded and went into the office with Xing Tianlong.
Xing Tianlong turned his head and said coldly to Wu Menglong, “Don’t come over unless I call for you.”
Wu Menglong nodded repeatedly.
“Yes, Brother Long.
Take your time dealing with this kid.
No one will disturb you.”
‘Hmph, kid.
In a minute, not only will Brother Long cripple you, but you’ll also have to spit out that thirteen million you just took.’
Inside the office, Xing Tianlong unexpectedly bowed deeply to Lin Yu, his body trembling with emotion.
“Benefactor, please accept this bow from me, Xing Tianlong.”
Lin Yu froze, his jaw hanging open.
“You must have the wrong person.
I’m not your benefactor.”
Xing Tianlong said excitedly, “There’s no mistake!
My father is Xing Yunhai.
When he was in prison, an old illness flared up, and you were the one who saved his life!”
“Before, my father sent a message out from prison, telling me that his benefactor had been released and that I had to find you, no matter what.”
“He said I must properly repay you for saving his life.”
Understanding dawned on Lin Yu.
He helped Xing Tianlong up and said, “I only saved your father back then because he had taken good care of me.”
“I don’t need you to repay me.”
When Lin Yu had first entered prison, he was often bullied.
Having his food stolen was a common occurrence, and sometimes he was even beaten viciously.
Big Beard, Xing Yunhai, took pity on him and would often share his own meals with him.
He would also step in to stop others from bullying Lin Yu.
A few days before Lin Yu’s release, Big Beard suddenly fell ill, coughing up blood nonstop.
Fortunately, Lin Yu found him in time and saved his life.
Xing Tianlong shook his head repeatedly.
“How could I not?” he said gratefully.
“I have a check for five million here.
Please, Benefactor, you must accept it.”
“If you run into any trouble in the future, I, Xing Tianlong, will be there whenever you call.”
Xing Tianlong forcefully stuffed the check into Lin Yu’s hand.
Seeing that he couldn’t refuse, Lin Yu had no choice but to accept it.
Seeing Lin Yu accept the check, Xing Tianlong finally nodded in satisfaction.
“I was wondering, Benefactor, what brought you here today?”
