Chapter 92: 92. Just take a detour when you see us later (second update)

"You can try and see if I’m scared." Shen Qinglan’s expression remained unchanged, and not even a hint of fluctuation was heard in her calm and indifferent tone, just like the impression she gave people.

Lin Hao’s face turned ugly, no longer paying attention to Shen Qinglan, but instead looking at Gu Yang and Gu Kai, "You also plan to make an enemy of our Lin Family because of a woman? If the elders at home knew about this, even you would have a hard time explaining, wouldn’t you?"

Gu Yang wanted to laugh upon hearing this, and he indeed let out a laugh, which made Lin Hao’s expression even more unsightly.

"What are you laughing at?"

Gu Yang burst into laughter, "Lin Hao, do you really think a little conflict between young people will escalate to a dispute between corporations?" You sure think too highly of yourself.

Although Gu Yang didn’t finish his sentence, Lin Hao could tell from his expression what he meant, and his face turned an interesting shade of green and white.

Gu Yang was right; a small conflict between the younger generation would at most earn a reprimand from family members, but it would definitely not lead to corporate strife, especially for two large corporations like the Lin Family and the Gu Family, which had no competitive relationship.

"Lin Hao, stop wasting time here and hurry up to keep your promise. If you’re a man, you should honor your word. Don’t think about playing foul," Gu Yang said with an impatient look on his face.

"You guys are bullying us too much. My big brother has already given fifty million, which is already giving you face. Don’t take it for granted." A young man with brown hair standing behind Lin Hao shouted angrily, his face full of rage.

"Oh, look at that, the master hasn’t spoken, but his dog starts barking first," Gu Yang said with a mocking smile on his face.

The brown-haired young man’s color changed, "Who are you calling a dog?"

"Whoever answers to it, that’s who."

Even the most patient person would rage upon hearing such words, let alone the brown-haired young man, who was never known for his good temper.

"Zhao San, I’d advise you not to start a fight," Gu Kai said coldly, as the brown-haired young man looked like he was about to attack Gu Yang, "If you dare to lift a finger today, I have the ability to shut down your family’s company tomorrow. Don’t think I wouldn’t dare. We might not be able to touch the Lin Family, but your little Zhao Family restaurant, even without going through the Gu Group, I can make sure you can’t continue to operate. If you don’t believe me, feel free to give it a try."

The brown-haired young man named Zhao San hesitated and fear flickered across his face upon hearing Gu Kai’s threat. Their family ran a small restaurant business that only began to flourish in the last two years thanks to the Lin Family’s support. That was why he was willing to follow Lin Hao, doing all the grunt work.

He wasn’t sure if the Lin Family would step in to help if the Gu Family decided to take action against the Zhao Family, but it was highly unlikely.

Lin Hao had noticed Zhao San’s hesitation and cursed internally, calling him useless. He looked at another short man behind Zhao San, named Wang Bo, who was one of Lin Hao’s lackeys. These three, with Lin Hao as their leader, often relied on Lin Hao’s status to bully others in Beijing.

Wang Bo caught Lin Hao’s glance, hesitating and not daring to step forward, especially after hearing Gu Kai’s warning. Their Wang Family’s business could not afford to be messed with by the Gu Family either.

Seeing that he wasn’t moving, Lin Hao’s eyes turned fierce, and Wang Bo trembled, begrudgingly stepping forward.

"Young Master Gu, our Mr. Lin is willing to accept his loss, and he has already paid up the fifty million he owed on the gamble. Why not quit while you’re ahead and give us a break?"

Wang Bo, on ordinary days, carried out tasks for Lin Hao as needed, but he never went out of his way to offend anyone, and now was no different. If lowering his head could smooth things over, then he would rather be the one to bow.

After hearing his words, Lin Hao’s face darkened, yet he said nothing.

Gu Yang watched with a grin, "Fatty Wang, your Young Master here only knows the principle ’A real man’s word is as good as his bond, and once spoken, even a team of horses couldn’t chase it down.’ As for knowing when to stop, I’ve never heard of such crap," he said, and even pretended to dig his ear.

Wang Bo’s face also turned sour, but upon seeing Lin Hao’s increasingly ugly expression, he bit his lip, closed his eyes, and with a thud, knelt down, and fiercely kowtowed, "Miss, we’ve lost this race."

Wang Bo’s action startled everyone present—they hadn’t expected him to make Lin Hao kneel.

Shen Qinglan was somewhat surprised, but there was little change in her expression. It just so happened that when she saw Wang Bo kneeling, the chill in her eyes deepened as she looked at Lin Hao.

"So, the great Young Master Lin is nothing special after all," Shen Qinglan said with contempt in her tone and mockery in her eyes, an attitude that disdainfully dismissed him, making Lin Hao feel intense humiliation.

His gaze at Shen Qinglan was ferocious, like a wild beast ready to attack, with no hint of tenderness. Right now, all he wanted was to teach this ungrateful woman a harsh lesson.

Lin Hao had been mingling in Beijing for so many years, and no woman had ever dared to humiliate him like this.

He clenched his fists, veins popping on his hands; he was no gentleman who refrains from hitting women.

His movements caught the eye of Gu Yang, who went cold in his gaze, threw the first punch, and caught Lin Hao off guard, causing him to stumble.

"Damn it, Gu Yang, you dare to hit me!" Lin Hao’s face turned to the side from the impact, and with just one heavy punch, a streak of blood appeared at the corner of Lin Hao’s mouth.

Although Lin Hao always opposed Gu Yang, when it came to physical strength, he was no match for Gu Yang, for his grandfather was none other than Old Sir Fu.

Knowing he couldn’t beat Gu Yang, Lin Hao spat out a mouthful of blood and pulled out his phone to make a call, "Brother Sun, yeah, it’s me. I’m at Jintian International Raceway, and I’ve run into a blind fool. Yes, okay, Brother Sun, I’m waiting for you."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Hao looked at Gu Yang as if he were looking at a dead man. Although Brother Sun wouldn’t kill Gu Yang, a severe beating was inevitable. How dare he lay a hand on him—Lin Hao wouldn’t be himself if he didn’t strip Gu Yang of a layer of skin today.

As for the repercussions of the beating, that was beyond Lin Hao’s current concerns—his rationality was already overwhelmed by fury.

"Gu Yang, if you have the guts, just stand right here and wait for me. If you dare to leave this place today, you’re not a man."

Gu Yang rubbed his hand that ached from the punch; he had hit too hard, and even his knuckle was throbbing—indeed, Lin Hao’s skin was too thick.

He knew Lin Hao had called for backup, probably some thugs, and if it were just him alone, he wouldn’t be scared. But now, there was a woman with him, and Gu Kai was disabled, so with these two liabilities, he naturally couldn’t confront the other party directly. Just as he thought of making a getaway, Lin Hao’s four lackeys surrounded them.

Although two of them had not spoken from the beginning to the end, nor had they taken any action, right after Lin Hao hung up the phone, they consciously closed in, clearly intending to keep them there.
