My gorgeous wife

Chapter 534: Chapter 507: How about I give you a ride first?

Zhong Fu’s transformation stunned everyone.

Not only Lin Yi and Lin Xiaoxiao but also Li Chen was somewhat taken aback.

Of course, the most shocked were the group of wealthy young masters who had stood behind Zhong Fu, watching his sudden actions in dumbfounded silence.

They hadn’t figured out what was happening yet.

At that moment, the young man who had been talking to Zhong Fu seemed to remember something and looked at Li Chen again, his expression turning tense.

As his pupils constricted, the young man also knelt down.

"Spare me! Sir, please spare my life!"

The young man suddenly cried out loudly.

At this time, the group of young masters was even more confused.

They didn’t understand what had happened. Despite being at a disadvantage now, did Li Chen and his group actually dare to lay a hand on them in front of so many people?

In their eyes, they were all from prominent families, after all. Even the Lin Family would have to carefully consider the repercussions of taking action against them.

But what about Zhong Fu? What was going on with him?

At this time, Zhong Fu slightly turned his bowed head and whispered to the people around him, "If you don’t want to die, apologize immediately."

"Brother Zhong, what exactly is happening?" a young man, seeing Zhong Fu’s cautious manner, couldn’t help but ask.

Asking them to kneel was too much.

In their entire lives, apart from the family elders they had to kneel to, whom had they ever bowed their heads to? Let alone kneeling down.

Now, to kneel to such a man was too difficult for them to do.

"Have you forgotten how the Li Family disappeared?" Zhong Fu said somewhat nervously, as if afraid of being overheard by Li Chen.

Zhong Fu was still relatively loyal. In his view, if he didn’t tip these young men off about the current situation, they would probably be done for, not to mention the repercussions for their families.

They had to understand that the God of Slaughter before them could wipe the Li Family off the map of Yanjing.

These people might come from good families, but in comparison to the Lin Family, they were still far behind.

If he could easily destroy the Li Family, would he care about a few lesser families?

Hearing Zhong Fu’s words, the young men were deeply shaken, suddenly recalling the incident that the upper echelons of Yanjing had deliberately suppressed.

Looking at Li Chen now, their eyes were filled with fear.

"Thud!"

"Thud!"

As the sound of knees hitting the floor echoed, a group of people all knelt down, loudly begging Li Chen for mercy.

Li Chen’s gaze flickered slightly as he observed the group.

He hadn’t wanted to make such a grand gesture, but some people were simply too annoying, and if not dealt with properly, they would become a hassle.

He waved at the Nether Army standing beside the group of young masters.

Immediately, the Nether Army silently exited the clothing store.

Li Chen looked at the group kneeling on the ground and said, "Enough, remember in the future not to be so arrogant."

"Yes, yes, sir! We will remember your teaching," Zhong Fu quickly replied.

The young men were nodding their heads frantically.

Li Chen, with the two women, approached the cash register and, under the trembling movements of the cashier he had called out, settled the bill and left the clothing store with the two women.

At this time, many pedestrians on the road had noticed the peculiar scene in the clothing store.

A group of people kneeling in a clothing store was quite the spectacle.

Such excitement was indeed rare.

However, as someone recognized one of the young masters in the group, the onlookers could no longer watch comfortably.

If these people held a grudge, they would likely suffer for it.

But what puzzled them the most was why these young masters were going crazy, collectively kneeling there.

Gao Zhuang, hidden deep in the clothing store, saw the group of young masters kneeling and felt his legs tremble.

What on earth had he been thinking?

Who exactly was that man?

The man to whom even top-level young masters like Zhong Fu had to kneel and admit their wrongs, and Gao Zhuang had actually considered hitting on his women?

Gao Zhuang, recalling earlier events, wished he could slap himself hard.

At this time, he didn’t even dare to go outside, only waiting for Li Chen to leave first, followed by the group of young masters, before he felt safe to leave.

Under everyone’s gaze, Li Chen finally left the store with the two women.

Almost everyone inwardly sighed with relief.

Zhong Fu and the others were genuinely afraid.

And the other people in the clothing store were afraid to see Zhong Fu and the others kneeling there.

Of course, they were even more afraid of Li Chen.

"Finally, he’s gone." Zhong Fu let out a sigh of relief as he saw Li Chen leave.

He stood up and turned to look at a group of young masters.

"Brothers, I’ll repeat what I’ve always said, if there’s any way I can help in the future, I definitely will. Within the scope of my ability, I’ll lend a hand,"

"But." Zhong Fu’s gaze turned toward the few people, becoming somewhat grim. "If anyone dares to drag me into a death mission, don’t blame Brother Zhong for being ruthless."

"Yes, yes, Brother Zhong, we know we were wrong!"

"Brother Zhong, please calm down. I promise I won’t make such a foolish mistake again!"

Li Chen obviously didn’t know what was happening behind him.

Because at that moment, he had already taken Lin Yi and Lin Xiaoxiao on the way back to the Lin Family.

He had come to Yanjing, naturally, and had left a group of people from the Palace of the Nether King in Yanjing. There was no other reason than to ensure the safety of the two women.

Although he was strong, he was still just one person after all, and there were many things that couldn’t be accomplished by one person’s power alone.

Moreover, if he had to do everything himself, wouldn’t he have died of exhaustion long ago?

This is where the Nether Army came into play.

Such a force, whether used in secret or put forward openly for negotiation, was a decent choice.

At least in Li Chen’s view, the Nether Army was quite handy to use.

With the Nether Army keeping watch in the dark, a lot of effort could be spared.

When Li Chen returned to the Lin Family with Lin Yi and Lin Xiaoxiao, he didn’t expect that before they could even enter, he saw someone walking out from inside.

"Hm?"

"Uncle." Seeing Lin Hang coming out, as the younger generation, Lin Yi and Lin Xiaoxiao still politely called out.

Li Chen, however, just smiled and nodded his head.

He didn’t have much regard for this guy in the first place, and greeting him was already a big acknowledgment in his eyes.

"Li Chen, it seems you have some dissatisfaction with me," Lin Hang cleared his throat, looking at Li Chen with some disdain, apparently because he had lost face when Lin Shu scolded him at lunch earlier that day.

Seeing Li Chen’s indifferent expression, for some reason, Lin Hang felt an inexplicable surge of anger in his heart.

"Not at all!" Li Chen quickly shook his head and said, "Uncle is an elder. How could we, as the younger generation, dare to be dissatisfied with an elder?"

Lin Hang snorted coldly. "An elder? Have you ever treated me as an elder?"

Li Chen looked at this guy with some surprise, not understanding what was wrong with him and why he insisted on antagonizing him.

A cordial handshake, a cheerful smile, and a mutual expression of respect before parting ways – wouldn’t that be good? Why does it have to be so confrontational and filled with veiled jabs?

Li Chen really couldn’t understand. He wasn’t going to stay in the Lin Family for much longer, so why was this guy so eager to teach him a lesson?

"Li Chen, it’s your first time entering our Lin Family, and there are some things you don’t know, but I still need to say," Lin Hang said with a grave expression.

"Our Lin Family is an ancient and noble clan with many traditions. There are many rules within the Lin Family that you will come to know, but for now, I must tell you this; there is a hierarchy of age and seniority, and you must respect your elders!"

Lin Hang said to Li Chen with a stern face.

"Your behavior just now has already severely damaged the traditions and customs inherited by the Lin Family. If the family head learns of this, even I won’t be able to protect you!"

Li Chen listened intently, gesturing for Lin Hang to continue.

Lin Hang then coughed and said, "Now, if you apologize to me proactively, there’s still time."

"If not, once word gets out, you may become an enemy of the entire Lin Family, and even your marriage with Lin Yi will be reconsidered by everyone."

Lin Hang’s last words were already a threat to Li Chen.

"Alright, Uncle, I apologize," Li Chen nodded and said.

A smile finally appeared on Lin Hang’s face.

So you’re strong? What does it matter if you are strong? In the Lin Family, it’s my home turf; you better coil yourself if you’re a dragon, and lie down if you’re a tiger.

Seeing Li Chen apologizing, Lin Hang had no intention of letting it go and said with a sly smile, "Although you’ve apologized, I still don’t feel your sincerity."

"Li Chen, how about this," Lin Hang said with a smile, "kneel down to apologize, and let me see your sincerity."

"Uncle!" At this point, Lin Yi shouted at Lin Hang, "Li Chen is my husband, what do you mean by this?"

"What do I mean?" Lin Hang pretended not to understand, "I’m just upholding the dignity and rules of the Lin Family, nothing else."

Upholding the dignity and rules of the Lin Family?

The moment Lin Hang asked him to kneel, Li Chen’s face grew cold.

Some people are like this; if you take one step back, they think you’re easy to bully, and they push harder and harder.

Lin Hang was that kind of person, and to deal with such a person, Li Chen had his methods.

Looking at Lin Hang, Li Chen spoke calmly, "Uncle, the Lin Family has its rules, and I, too, have my own rules."

"From a young age, the only people who have made me kneel are my four grandfathers, and some dead people. Considering Uncle’s age, it seems there’s quite a gap between you and my four grandfathers. It wouldn’t seem right for me to kneel before you."

"How about this?" Li Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Hang, "I send you on your way first, and then I come kneel before you. How does that sound?"

Li Chen’s words were like a sharp blade of ice, making Lin Hang feel a sudden chill enveloping his body.

At that moment, he seemed to remember just who exactly was standing in front of him – what kind of fearsome figure.
