Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Defeat with One Punch

"This matter is already decided!" Lin Songbai spoke again.

His voice was not loud, but he carried an indisputable authority—such was the power of a Martial Arts Grandmaster.

"But..."

The man, around thirty years old and rather handsome, had an expression of reluctance on his face, yet he dared not refute Lin Songbai.

At this moment, Su Luo stepped forward: "Old Lin, I accept his challenge."

"Then it’s settled." Seeing that the main party had agreed, Lin Songbai naturally had no objections.

"Mr. Su, my name is Li Wenbo, please enlighten me." Li Wenbo, seeing Su Luo had accepted, showed a trace of joy on his face, stepped forward, and saluted Su Luo with a clenched fist.

"There’s no need for enlightenment, let’s call it a fair competition," Su Luo said.

Entrusted by others, I am bound to be loyal.

Having received the Hundred-year-old Ginseng from Lin Songbai and agreed to act as a bodyguard for Lin Ruoxi, Su Luo naturally had to fulfill his responsibilities. He certainly couldn’t allow anyone else to steal his role as a bodyguard.

"Okay." Li Wenbo nodded.

"Be careful." Because Lin Songbai had mentioned the issue concerning the Bentley, Li Wenbo took Su Luo seriously and, after a fierce shout, took the initiative to strike.

Li Wenbo charged towards Su Luo, throwing a direct punch.

This punch was a blend of strength and softness.

As long as Su Luo responded, Li Wenbo could also adjust accordingly.

But...

Contrary to Li Wenbo’s expectations, Su Luo neither dodged nor attacked, but instead reached out directly, grabbed his fist like a vice, preventing it from advancing or being withdrawn.

Even more, a severe pain surged from his fist, prompting him to involuntarily take a sharp breath of cold air.

Then, Su Luo released Li Wenbo’s fist.

"Again."

Li Wenbo clenched his teeth, circulated his Inner Strength, and launched another punch at Su Luo. This time, having learned his lesson, he mixed feints with solid moves; his punch was a feint, while the real attack came with a swift kick.

However.

"Boom!"

With just one punch, Su Luo rendered all of Li Wenbo’s technique changes and attack methods ineffective.

Li Wenbo was sent flying backward outright.

Eventually, when he hit the ground, he staggered back seven or eight steps before barely stabilizing himself.

"Sorry, you’re not my match," Su Luo stated.

Li Wenbo’s face was extremely unsightly as he struggled to believe, "How is this possible? I’m a Martial Artist at the Third Stage of Inner Strength, how could I lose to you?"

Su Luo did not answer his question.

In fact, Su Luo felt that although Li Wenbo was a Martial Artist at the Third Stage of Inner Strength, he was much weaker compared to Lin Wu.

Perhaps, this was because Li Wenbo was a flower in a greenhouse?

Su Luo wasn’t sure of the reason, but at least, this Li Wenbo was not his match at all. Even if there were ten Li Wenbos, Su Luo could easily defeat them.

"Wenbo, you’ve lost."

Lin Yuexian spoke at this time too.

He saw that Li Wenbo was far from being Su Luo’s opponent.

"No, Master, I won’t lose. Ruoxi, my junior sister, must also be protected by me," Li Wenbo roared with unwillingness, and in a flash, he pounced towards Su Luo once again.

This time, he struck ruthlessly, directly aiming for Su Luo’s vulnerable spots.

A glint of icy coldness flashed in Su Luo’s eyes as he threw a punch, once again sending Li Wenbo flying.

With his opponent being ruthless, Su Luo held nothing back either.

With just one punch, Li Wenbo was left spitting blood, his entire body crashing to the ground, unable to rise for the moment.

"If others do not offend me, I do not offend them. But if others offend me, they cannot blame me for being heartless and merciless," Su Luo said coldly.

"Such a merciless move." Even Lin Yuexian was taken aback. No one had expected Su Luo to suddenly make such a ruthless move.

With Li Wenbo defeated, another woman who had come with Lin Yuexian was even less likely to challenge Su Luo.

"Mr. Su, I will take Wenbo to the hospital first. As for Ruoxi’s safety, I entrust her to you," Lin Yuexian said. Though he felt Su Luo’s actions were a bit too fierce, he didn’t say anything and, after greeting Su Luo, he left with Li Wenbo.

"Will Old Lin think I was too heavy-handed?" Su Luo looked towards Lin Songbai.

Lin Songbai smiled and said, "No, I very much appreciate it!"

Be gentle when it is time to be gentle, and be ruthless when it is time to be ruthless.

This was exactly what the Lin Family was lacking at the moment, which made Lin Songbai like Su Luo even more.

Su Luo nodded.

He was no saint, and it seemed neither was Lin Songbai, which made Su Luo feel even more favorably towards him.

At that moment, Lin Songbai turned to Lin Ruoxi and said, "Ruoxi, starting today, Su Luo will be your bodyguard, protecting you twenty-four hours a day. You’ll have him move to your place."

"He has to move to my place?" Lin Ruoxi’s eyes widened.

"Of course, otherwise, how can there be protection?" Lin Songbai said earnestly, "I am very suspicious that this attempt on you was actually aimed at me. It could very well be an old enemy of mine, so your safety concerns not just yourself, but also my well-being. Do you understand?"

Lin Ruoxi fell silent for a while, then spoke again, "I understand, but..."

"There are no buts. If you’re willing to stay with me at Lin Mansion for the next few months instead of going to your company, then I can protect you and we won’t need Little Friend Su’s help," Lin Songbai said.

Mentioning that she couldn’t go to her company, Lin Ruoxi’s cold and stunning face changed in an instant.

In the end, she compromised, "Fine, I’ll let Su Luo be my bodyguard."

Lin Songbai smiled, giving Su Luo a wink.

Su Luo instantly felt at a loss for words.

He began to doubt whether the old man’s words were true or false.

However, Su Luo felt that Lin Songbai probably wasn’t just trying to force Lin Ruoxi into compliance; the likelihood that he was telling the truth was quite high. After all, the covert illness inside Lin Songbai was a consequence of injuries from the past.

This indicated that he truly had powerful enemies back in the day.

"Little Friend Su, for the next few days, you can stay here at Lin Mansion. If there’s anything you don’t understand regarding the Tai Chi Heart Sutra, Tai Chi Fist, or Tai Chi Swordsmanship, you can ask me directly," Lin Songbai treated Su Luo almost as if he were family.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Luo nodded, "Okay."

Although Lin Ruoxi had no choice but to accept Su Luo as her bodyguard, she harbored a grudge. Seeing Su Luo would always remind her that he had seen her undressed and bring back the memory of the incident on the bus.

No matter what, she simply couldn’t bring herself to like Su Luo.

Thus, seeing her grandfather leaving Su Luo there, she turned and went upstairs, back to her own room.

That very afternoon.

Lin Ruoxi found Su Luo, "There’s an emergency at the company, I need to deal with it. Drive me there."

"I’m driving?" Su Luo stared blankly.

"Your actions wrecked my car, which has now been sent for repairs. Who else is going to drive if not you?"

The more Lin Ruoxi thought about it, the more upset she became. Since she was forced and had no choice but to accept Su Luo as her bodyguard, she might as well make full use of him. In doing so, perhaps she could feel somewhat balanced.
