Chapter 116: Chapter 118, Pursuit!

However, pushed into this corner, Fang Yi remained nonchalant, showing no fear, calm, and composed.

The next moment, Fang Yi stepped forward towards the high platform, not heading toward Mingqi, but instead to Lin Mengyan’s side.

Throughout it all, Lin Mengyan had been silent, her emotions extremely complicated as she saw Fang Yi approaching.

Seeing Fang Yi’s action, Mingqi’s brow instantly furrowed.

Lin Xiongxiao and Lin Fengxiao, the brothers, exchanged glances before Lin Xiongxiao shouted, "Fang Yi, this is not your place to come, get lost!"

Fang Yi glanced at the two, his lips curled in a sneer, not caring at all.

Then, to everyone’s shock, Fang Yi placed one hand behind his waist, and with the other, he made a gesture of invitation, as if asking for a dance, his face holding a mildly peaceful smile.

Lin Mengyan felt a complex mix of emotions; she was no fool and knew the meaning behind Fang Yi’s actions.

Lin Mengyan was about to place her hand in his, but then she hesitated because her father and grandfather were behind her, and many people in the room were watching, unsure of the consequences if she accepted Fang Yi’s invitation.

Thus, Lin Mengyan suddenly became hesitant.

A trace of sadness flashed across Fang Yi’s eyes as he withdrew his hand and said with a smile, "It seems you have made your decision."

"I..." Lin Mengyan struggled to speak, not knowing what to say, faintly sensing Fang Yi’s disappointment.

Mingqi breathed a sigh of relief, and so did Lin Xiongxiao and Lin Fengxiao; the old man also relaxed, as did many others present.

"Fang Yi, are you convinced now?" Mingqi asked coldly.

His heart was thrilled; this was revenge for the humiliation he had suffered at the hotel.

Besides avenging his past humiliation, Mingqi was also excited to see Lin Mengyan’s supportive stance towards him this time.

Fang Yi looked at Mingqi, his eyes cold and indifferent, and he did not respond.

"Hmph! Scared into silence, huh, boy?" Lin Fengxiao sneered.

"Daring to cripple my son’s arm, this is what you get!" Lin Xiongxiao said.

Indeed, this was his downfall; in their eyes, Fang Yi had already become the target of public attack, his reputation completely ruined.

Fang Yi said nothing and decided to leave, but at that moment, Mingqi quickly stepped forward, blocking Fang Yi’s path.

Fang Yi raised an eyebrow, saying, "What more do you want to do?"

Mingqi retorted coldly, "You haven’t answered my question yet, are you convinced?"

Fang Yi remained silent, still giving no answer.

Convinced?

Fang Yi obviously wasn’t convinced. He was always proud and haughty, and if Mingqi had been fair and square, he would have genuinely accepted defeat. But Mingqi’s method of forcing Fang Yi made him resentful.

"It seems you are still not convinced! But no matter, if you hold a grudge, feel free to seek revenge!" Mingqi’s smile was full of mockery.

Fang Yi bypassed Mingqi and headed towards the hall’s entrance, his shoulders straight, like a pine tree, not the least bit bent.

So what if he lost this time? His backbone wouldn’t bend because of this.

"Is one even a man if he hasn’t gone through great trials?"

"A man can bow his head, but he must be able to raise it too!"

"If someone insults me today, I shall return it another day; a man must not be defeated!"

The old man’s words echoed in his mind, almost as if spoken yesterday, lingering in his ears, and Fang Yi had not forgotten.

Tap tap tap!

The sound of urgent footsteps suddenly rang out from behind, the pace quick and as if someone were jogging over.

"Guess who?"

Fang Yi felt a tap on his shoulder, turned around and saw Shen Binan wearing a peaked cap, and couldn’t help but laugh, "Don’t think I wouldn’t recognize you just because you’re wearing a peaked cap and a mask, Shen Binan."

Shen Binan took off the peaked cap and mask, threw them into a nearby trash can, then removed the elastic holding her ponytail, shook her head, and her dark, thick hair shone attractively.

"I thought you’d be really angry, but I didn’t expect to make you laugh so easily." Shen Binan said.

Fang Yi replied, "I am very angry, but for some reason, my mood improved after seeing you, it’s all because of my deep affection for you."

Fang Yi was indeed upset, but that was his personal feeling, no need to share it with others, the same went for Shen Binan.

Shen Binan said, "Getting smooth with words again, I see no need to console you now."

Fang Yi smiled and replied, "Just words won’t help, I need some physical consolation."

Shen Binan responded, "Fine, come along, I’ll find you a bunch of girls to help you vent."

"Uh... I can’t handle that luxury; you enjoy yourself," Fang Yi said with a lecherous grin.

"You... are shameless!" Shen Binan was infuriated.

"Uncle."

At that moment, Cai Cai ran out, saw Fang Yi, and ran straight into his arms.

"Your illegitimate daughter?" Shen Binan asked.

"..."

Fang Yi gave her a look and said, "You really have a wild imagination."

The three left the hotel together, Fang Yi put his bicycle in the trunk of Shen Binan’s red Audi, then started the car and left the hotel. Shortly after leaving the hotel, Fang Yi through the rear-view mirror, suddenly saw a suspicious Hummer following them.

Shen Binan noticed and asked, "What’s wrong?"

Fang Yi said, "There’s a car following us."

Shen Binan frowned, "Is it targeting me?"

Fang Yi said, "It could be you, but it could also be me."

"Hmm, no matter what, let’s head to my place first," Shen Binan said. She was worried Fang Yi might not manage alone; at her house, with many bodyguards, it would be easier, and perhaps also intimidate the pursuers.

Fang Yi increased the speed of the car, weaving through the traffic, but as they approached an intersection, a long double-trailer truck suddenly burst out, blocking the way ahead.

At the same time, the Hummer behind suddenly accelerated, charging forward like an arrow shot from a bow.

"The nerve of them, attacking under these circumstances," Shen Binan exclaimed in surprise.

"Not much we can do about that now, they must be relying on something, you and Cai Cai stay here, I’ll handle this," Fang Yi said, grabbing a nail gun from under the seat, and then he opened the door and rushed out.

The Hummer maneuvered around the vehicles ahead and came barreling towards them, Fang Yi quickly loaded the nail gun, and without aiming, he fired. The ’whistling’ sound of nails burst from the gun, all embedding in the tires of the Hummer.

However, the Hummer continued to advance, its speed unabated. Fang Yi inwardly sighed, realizing the attackers were well-prepared with exceptionally sturdy tires that weren’t easily punctured.

As Fang Yi was caught off guard, the Hummer charged straight towards him, clearly intending to hit him.

Yet Fang Yi didn’t dodge; instead, he charged straight towards the Hummer.

"This guy must be tired of living, not running away, but charging towards it? Does he think he can overpower a Hummer?" The driver initially shocked, then a cold smile spread across his face, as if he were looking at a dead man.
