192: Open his head

Why?

A poor student?

A stinking bitch?

Just because she awakened some damn Mythical-grade profession?

And she thinks she's soared to the heavens?

That she's transcended classes?

That she can now claim the empire his family built over three generations of business struggle?

What's there to be so arrogant about!!

He would make this woman understand that a mere profession changes nothing!

Even without a Mythic Rank, or even an Epic Rank, he was still not someone she could provoke or insult!

He had only one thought now.

Kill her!

He must kill this woman!

"Motherfucker!"

Chen Ruiyu roared hysterically, his fist, charged with all his strength and carrying a gust of ill wind, smashed towards Lin Yao's calm face!

"Ah!"

A girl shrieked.

Li Hao's vision went black, almost fainting.

Just at this critical moment!

"Young Master Chen!"

An urgent voice rang out, and a follower behind Chen Ruiyu scrambled forward, desperately grabbing his arm.

"Don't be rash! Young Master Chen!"

"Get lost!" Chen Ruiyu's eyes were bloodshot, struggling wildly.

"Your dad's call!" The follower was almost crying, as he shoved a constantly vibrating phone screen right in front of Chen Ruiyu's eyes. "General Manager Li from Heavenly Aegis's marketing department is here! The chairman wants you to get over there immediately! Immediately! Right now!"

"Heavenly Aegis."

"General Manager Li."

These two words, like two basins of ice water, poured over him.

Chen Ruiyu's fist, which was about to strike, stopped abruptly in mid-air, mere centimeters from Lin Yao's cheek.

All the blood in his body seemed to freeze at that moment.

Today, his father had arranged a dinner with the head of Heavenly Aegis's marketing department to inquire about Tianqing Group's future order trends and strategic planning.

This dinner concerned the lifeline of his family's factory for the next ten years!

For this, his father had prepared for nearly a month, using countless connections, to make this dinner happen.

The reason he was here today was because the matter was basically settled, and his father wanted him to come and get acquainted with these truly important figures, paving the way for his future succession.

He had been waiting here for almost half a day, and now that the person had arrived, if he dared to delay for even a minute... his father would personally break his legs.

A fear even stronger than anger instantly gripped his heart.

He could disregard a Mythical-grade profession student, but he dared not disregard the marketing director of Tianqing Group.

The former was only future potential, while the latter was a giant who could decide his family's life and death right now!

Chen Ruiyu's chest heaved violently, the muscles in his face twitching wildly from extreme anger and suppression, making him look incredibly ferocious.

He stared intently at Lin Yao.

Her face remained calm, without the slightest ripple, as if the potentially fatal punch just now was merely a gentle breeze.

This calmness made him more furious than any taunt!

"Consider yourself lucky!"

Ultimately, all the unwillingness, anger, and humiliation could only coalesce into a single, outwardly fierce but inwardly timid threat.

He violently shook off the follower's hand, pointed at Lin Yao, and squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth, one by one.

"You, just, wait, and, see!"

After speaking, he dared not linger for another moment, turning and rushing out of the private room like a stray dog, flanked by two followers on either side.

"Bang!"

The door slammed shut with a heavy sound.

That suffocating sense of oppression finally vanished.

Inside the private room, a deadly silence still reigned.

Everyone was still immersed in the scene that had just unfolded, which was comparable to a movie plot, and hadn't yet recovered their senses.

It saved her from getting her hands dirty.

Lin Yao slowly sat down and picked up the glass of juice on the table.

The juice in the glass was no longer that cold.

Lin Yao sipped it slowly, as if everything that had just happened was merely a boring farce.

But others couldn't be as nonchalant as her.

Li Hao's body remained in a stiff posture. He looked at Lin Yao, then at the heavily slammed private room door, completely bewildered.

He left?

Chen Ruiyu just left like that?

After being told to "get lost" by a student, he just uttered a threat and then scurried away?

This didn't make sense!

This completely contradicted the arrogant, vengeful, and overbearing style of a top-tier second-generation heir as he knew it!

Then, he belatedly realized.

It wasn't that Chen Ruiyu didn't want revenge, but that he had something urgent.

That phone call was his death knell.

But... Li Hao's thoughts plunged into an even deeper vortex.

Even if Heavenly Aegis's call stopped him for the moment today, the animosity had already been forged, and it was a deadly knot!

Given Chen Ruiyu's personality, he would absolutely use hundreds of methods later to reclaim the face he lost today.

Lin Yao, and Lin Yu... they would face the furious retaliation of a family with immense power.

But why wasn't Lin Yao afraid at all?

Was she a fool, completely unaware of Tianhong Precision Manufacturing, or what a core supplier to Tianqing Group represented?

Impossible.

She was the class monitor, one of the smartest students in the entire grade.

Then there was only one explanation left.

An explanation that made Li Hao's heart start to twitch.

She didn't care.

She didn't even put Chen Ruiyu, or even the family behind him, in her eyes.

Perhaps... in the eyes of such an existence, a so-called family business was truly just a joke?

The more Li Hao thought, the more cold sweat broke out on his back.

He suddenly realized that he and all his classmates might have made a fatal mistake.

They had been using a student's mindset to speculate about the sister of someone who already stood above the clouds.

Just as the boys collectively fell into deep thought, their worldviews repeatedly shattered and rebuilt.

"Wow!"

A crisp exclamation, filled with extreme excitement, broke the frozen atmosphere in the private room.

It was the short-haired girl.

She slapped the table, almost jumping up, her face flushed red, not from fear, but from excitement.

"Yao Yao! You were so cool just now!"

Her shout seemed to flip a switch.

"Yeah, yeah! Super cool! That 'get lost' line, I got goosebumps!"

"And that last line, 'It's really hard to lay a hand on me,' oh my god, what a queen's declaration!"

"I recorded it! I secretly recorded it! I'm going to go home and loop it a hundred times!"

The girls in the private room instantly erupted.

Their focus was clearly completely different from the boys who were pondering power, capital, and pros and cons.

They only saw a delicate girl being bullied by a bully, who, instead of crying and begging for mercy, crushed the other party's dignity underfoot with a dominating posture.

This contrast, this assertiveness, was even more captivating than any idol drama!

The way they looked at Lin Yao no longer held mere classmate affection, but only the adoration and fanaticism one would have for an idol.

Surrounded by her group of girlfriends, Lin Yao finally broke free from her unruffled state, a slightly helpless smile, typical of her age, appearing on her face.

She felt as if she had returned to the beginning of the gathering.

"Was it that exaggerated?" she asked with a smile.

"Yes! Absolutely!" The short-haired girl leaned in, grabbing her arm. "Yao Yao, be honest, were you really going to make a move just now?"

At this question, the private room fell silent again.

Everyone pricked up their ears.

Yes, if it weren't for that phone call, would Lin Yao really have acted?

To lay a hand on the young master of Tianhong Precision Manufacturing in front of everyone?

The consequences... Lin Yao looked at the sparkling eyes of her girlfriends. She blinked, then raised her fair, delicate fist, waving it in front of everyone.

She deliberately put on a fierce expression, lowering her voice.

"I'm telling you, I was seriously thinking at the time."

"Thinking about what?" the short-haired girl pressed.

Lin Yao grinned, revealing a set of clean, even white teeth, and uttered a sentence that made all the boys' scalps tingle again.

"I was thinking, how to punch him so that his greasy hair would 'blossom' symmetrically."

"Pfft!"

"Hahahahaha!"

The previous tense, oppressive, and fearful atmosphere was completely shattered at this moment.

Li Hao also laughed, though his laugh was a bit forced.
