167: Chapter 167 More Terrifying Than the Qian Family

The scene where Lin Yi kicked open the heavy copper door of Zhu Tao's company with three kicks back then was still vivid in Zhu Tao's mind.

Seeing that the person who arrived was Lin Yi, the corners of Zhu Tao's mouth twitched involuntarily.

He hurriedly picked up the shoe from the ground in a fawning manner and jogged over to present it to Lin Yi.

"B-Boss Lin, what wind blew you here!"

Lin Yi frowned and glanced at Zhu Tao, taking a long while to remember the identity of the person in front of him.

"Oh, it's you."

Zhu Tao nodded hurriedly.

"Boss Lin, you still remember me!"

"Ever since we parted last time, I have been thinking..."

Lin Yi had no intention of wasting time with Zhu Tao. He grabbed Zhu Tao by the shoulder and led him in front of Xu Dongqing and Su Ming.

"These two are my people."

"Apologize to them!"

Lin Yi's tone was icy, with no intention of negotiating with Zhu Tao at all.

Cold sweat streamed down Zhu Tao's forehead.

He didn't expect that he had offended this living Yama's woman again.

"B-Boss Lin, I'm sorry, I didn't know they were..."

Lin Yi slapped the back of Zhu Tao's head.

"Did I tell you to apologize to me?"

"Are you deaf?"

"I told you to apologize to them!"

Zhu Tao immediately understood and bowed repeatedly to Su Ming and Xu Dongqing.

"I'm sorry, this beautiful lady, and Miss Su!"

"It was me who was blind and failed to recognize a superior!"

"Please forgive me for any offense just now!"

"I apologize to you for my behavior just now!"

"I'm sorry!"

Seeing that Lin Yi had arrived, Su Ming hurriedly pulled Xu Dongqing to Lin Yi's side.

"Lin Yi... just now Xu Dongqing was..."

Lin Yi nodded.

"I saw it. It's all my fault for arriving late."

Lin Yi looked at Xu Dongqing with concern.

"Does it still hurt?"

Xu Dongqing was slightly stunned and nodded gently.

Somehow, her mind suddenly recalled the time when Lin Yi saved her from a group of drunken thugs at the school gate.

It seemed that as long as Lin Yi was around, any danger would cease to exist.

So this is what a sense of security feels like...

Xu Dongqing: Favorability + 5 Points.

Xu Dongqing: Favorability + 5 Points.

Current Favorability: 95 Points.

"Ding, detected an increase in the favorability of bound target Xu Dongqing. Congratulations to the host for receiving a reward of 10 Points."

Lin Yi picked up his phone, intending to call a car to take Xu Dongqing to the infirmary for a check-up.

But Xu Dongqing shook her head.

"No need. I'm a martial artist after all; this minor injury will heal on its own in a few days!"

Zhu Tao, standing to the side, heard this, and cold sweat broke out from his forehead all the way down to his back.

He had just injured Lin Yi's woman; what if Lin Yi decided to make a move on him?

Even if he had ten lives, it wouldn't be enough to withstand it!

"Slap!"

A crisp slap from Zhu Tao landed on his own face.

"Boss Lin, I'm sorry!"

"This beautiful lady, I'm sorry!"

"Miss Su, I'm sorry!"

"I was wrong, I was really wrong!"

After saying this, Zhu Tao continued to slap himself, one after another.

Lin Yi looked at him, his eyes so cold they could freeze.

"Zhu Tao, did you not eat?"

Hearing Lin Yi's icy words, Zhu Tao stopped holding back.

He knew that if he didn't satisfy Lin Yi today, he probably wouldn't see tomorrow's sun.

So, he put his all into it, swinging his arms wide and slapping his face heavily.

Soon, both of his cheeks were swollen.

The students all watched the scene before them in astonishment.

Zhu Tao's arrogance was something everyone had witnessed.

It was useless for Su Ming to reason with him.

He didn't give Chu Sen any face either.

Even the president of the Combat Club, Xu Dongqing, had been defeated by Zhu Tao.

But unexpectedly, when Zhu Tao saw Lin Yi, it was like seeing Yama.

Not only did he dare not make a move against Lin Yi, but he was even as servile as a dog in front of him.

Did Lin Yi actually have such great power...

The students' admiration for Lin Yi grew even more.

Not far away, Yan Li saw that Zhu Tao hadn't returned after such a long time and stood up in confusion.

Only then did he see that over there, Zhu Tao was kneeling on the ground, slapping himself hard.

Yan Li pushed away the three beautiful women who had come fishing with him and hurried toward Zhu Tao.

"Xiao Zhu, what's going on!"

At this moment, Zhu Tao's cheeks were already swollen from his own slaps, and he couldn't speak clearly at all.

He could only explain to Yan Li with slurred speech.

"Boss... I... this is Boss Lin..."

"This is all a misunderstanding..."

"Don't worry, I can handle it..."

Unfortunately, Yan Li couldn't hear a single word clearly, only feeling that Zhu Tao was whimpering to express his grievance.

How could Yan Li just watch his underling be bullied like this by someone else?

If this got out, how would he be able to hang around in Nanjing in the future?

If it got out that he couldn't even protect his own men.

That would be an utter disgrace.

Yan Li looked fiercely at the group, but only Lin Yi dared to meet his gaze.

Chu Sen secretly thought to himself that this was bad.

Yan Li was notoriously vicious.

If they angered Yan Li, it would be difficult for these students to leave unscathed today.

Yan Li instantly charged toward Lin Yi.

Just as Yan Li's fist was about to land on Lin Yi's nose bridge, Lin Yi's heavy slap had already landed on Yan Li's face.

Lin Yi used thirty percent of his strength for this slap.

Yan Li's whole body swayed, and he fell toward the ground uncontrollably.

It felt like a speeding truck had slammed into his face.

There was a salty, metallic taste in his mouth; he licked it with his tongue and realized two teeth had fallen out.

Yan Li caught the two teeth he spat out with his hand in disbelief, and an uncontrollable rage surged in his heart.

"You bastard! You actually..."

Unfortunately, before Yan Li could stand up, Lin Yi grabbed him by the collar and dragged him to the lakeside.

Then he pushed Yan Li's head into the freezing lake water.

Yan Li immediately began to struggle.

He desperately grabbed Lin Yi's arm, trying to lift his head.

Unfortunately, Lin Yi's arm was like it was welded from iron, completely unmoved.

It wasn't until a minute later that Lin Yi pulled Yan Li's head out of the lake.

"Behaving now?"

"What a psycho!"

"Attacking me without distinguishing right from wrong."

"I hate people like you the most..."

Given Lin Yi's current maxed-out physical fitness level, he had already been very merciful to Yan Li.

Otherwise, Yan Li would already be being taken away by an ambulance by now.

Seeing Yan Li being dragged out of the lake by Lin Yi, Zhu Tao hurriedly crawled to Yan Li's side.

He leaned close to Yan Li's ear and explained in a slurred voice.

"Boss... he is the Boss Lin I told you about last time..."

"The one who kicked open my company's copper door with three kicks..."

After Lin Yi left last time, Zhu Tao had reported this matter to Yan Li.

At that time, Yan Li's thoughts were the same as Zhu Tao's; he felt that someone who was both wealthy and skilled must have a family background that was not simple.

Perhaps there was even a military background.

That was an existence that thugs like them absolutely could not afford to provoke.

Yan Li didn't expect that the man he encountered today was actually the person Zhu Tao had mentioned back then.

"Damn it, why didn't you tell me sooner..."

Yan Li glared at Zhu Tao resentfully.

Then he hurriedly put on a fawning expression.

"Young Master Lin, it's a misunderstanding!"

"It's all a misunderstanding!"

"I was reckless just now!"

Now, even Chu Sen was dumbfounded.

He knew exactly what kind of person Yan Li was.

In the whole Nanling City, the only one who could make Yan Li respectful was likely the Qian Family.

But even in front of the Qian Family... Yan Li had never been this servile before!

Chu Sen's heart began to thump, and a thought suddenly occurred to him.

Lin Yi... was an existence even more terrifying than the Qian Family!
