Li Xuan couldn’t believe the scene unfolding before his eyes, his ears filled with Lin Chen’s agonizing, piercing screams, unable to snap back to reality for a long time.
That was the eldest son of the Lin Family. If he stomped his foot, the entire business community of Xuan Cang would tremble somewhat, and standing behind Lin Chen was the towering Lin Family, a distinguished household.
But... But Fang Yi actually dared to act boldly, severing the tendons in both of Lin Chen’s hands!
Should one say that Fang Yi was recklessly brave, or should one say that Fang Yi was a true overlord, ruthless, decisive, and fierce? If it were him, would he dare?
Li Xuan deeply told himself in his heart, he wouldn’t dare to do such a thing, he wouldn’t even dare think about it.
However, Fang Yi just did it.
It was really too cruel!
Li Xuan swallowed hard, feeling his body stiffen, almost unable to move; he was truly shaken by the scene, having such an enemy was what was truly terrifying.
Fang Yi paid no attention to Lin Chen, who was screaming in pain on the ground. Anyway, Lin Chen’s hands were ruined, and as for the pig-like screams of Lin Chen, Fang Yi turned a deaf ear and slowly approached Li Xuan.
Before he even got close, Li Xuan and the tall man instinctively backed away a few steps.
"Fang Yi, you... do you realize what you’ve done!" Li Xuan said, trying to remain composed, sweat seeping from his forehead.
"I know." Fang Yi’s voice was cold, "If you behave like Lin Chen, I will treat you the same, no matter who you are, no matter your background. If you anger me, I will spare no one."
This was a warning. Li Xuan could discern the implication in Fang Yi’s words, a warning aimed at him.
The tall man frowned, speaking in a low tone, "Doing this, the Lin Family won’t let you off."
Fang Yi gave a carefree laugh, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, "If I dare to act this way, then I’m willing to face the consequences. You can go back to the Lin Family with this news, smear my name all you want, I don’t care."
To Fang Yi, obstructing forces and covering tracks was merely a thought.
The tall man coldly said, "I’ll remember your words!"
Fang Yi scoffed indisputably, then turned to Li Xuan, saying, "Li Xuan, I warn you one last time, stay away from Shen Binnan and the people around her, or you’ll end up like Lin Chen."
Li Xuan’s face soured, wanting to say something assertive to save face, to avoid appearing weak, however, he ultimately didn’t let foolishness overtake his mind, not at this moment to provoke Fang Yi, who was still in a rage.
Fang Yi turned around, walked over to Shen Xiaoxiao, and cut the ropes binding her hands.
Shen Xiaoxiao immediately flung herself into Fang Yi’s arms, like a frightened little bird finding the warmest and most comfortable nest, where it could shelter from wind and rain and no longer face any danger.
"Brother-in-law... I’m... I’m sorry... I... I was wrong..." Shen Xiaoxiao cried, tears rolling down her cheeks, having walked once through the Ghost Gate, she now realized her mistake.
Different from his previous cold and brutal demeanor, Fang Yi showed a gentle smile on his face, gently patting Shen Xiaoxiao’s back, saying, "It’s good that you realize your mistake."
Strangely, Shen Xiaoxiao felt that the hand wasn’t just patting her back, but also patting her heart.
Leaving the amusement park, Fang Yi drove the three girls home, then went straight to his own house.
Around seven o’clock in the evening, at the most famous surgical hospital in Moon City.
In one of the hospital’s most luxurious wards, where the environment was elegant and the medical facilities top-notch, it should have been a place of peace. However, at that moment, the room was intermittently filled with roars and the sound of objects crashing to the floor with loud "bangs," indicating the patient’s furious temper.
In the hallway, a man and a woman of similar age followed a middle-aged man toward the ward.
The middle-aged man, in his forties, had fierce eyebrows and an authoritative air that underscored his ruthlessness even in his younger days.
The pair following him were also of similar ages and heights. The man had a handsome face with a perpetual calm expression, while the woman had an even stronger aura, appearing as seductive as a vixen!
Even as they walked, her long legs and swaying hips, combined with a curvaceous waist, exuded charm. Her every inadvertent move was enough to tempt men—a mature woman, seductive and smooth like water.
Outside the high-end ward, a tall man stood guard. Upon seeing the newcomers, he immediately bowed his head, "Third Master, Young Master Tian Qi, Miss Xue Ru."
The man addressed as Third Master wore a cold expression. At that moment, another angry shout came from the room.
"Get out! Get the hell out! You useless doctors, I never want to see you again! OUT!!!"
The door to the ward flew open as doctors and nurses ran out in a panic, their faces pale with fear. After they had fled, Third Master stepped into the ward with his hands clasped behind his back.
"Didn’t I tell you to get out! Why the hell are you still here, do you want me to kill you?!" Lin Chen shouted furiously upon hearing footsteps.
At that moment, Lin Chen, dressed in patient clothes, stood by the window, yet his arms hung limply by his sides as if completely devoid of strength.
"Chen," Third Master spoke up.
Hearing this voice, Lin Chen’s body jolted, and then he turned around, joyfully exclaiming, "Uncle!"
A gentle smile appeared on Third Master’s calm face, but then he quickly composed himself and said, "I heard your screams from outside. It seems you’re really angry with that Fang Yi."
Hearing the name "Fang Yi," Lin Chen flew into a rage, saying, "Uncle, don’t mention that name. I hate hearing it! Uncle, since you’re here, help me kill that Fang Yi! The bastard cut my tendons; I want him dead!"
Third Master shook his head, "Not in a hurry."
When Lin Chen tried to protest, Third Master stopped him with a wave of his hand, "Before coming here, I looked into this Fang Yi. He’s no ordinary person."
Lin Chen’s eyes suddenly narrowed, "What do you mean?"
Third Master continued: "Fang Yi’s identity and background are complex; he seems to be from the Fang Family. Do you know why Fang Tianqi is in a wheelchair? It was Fang Yi who did that."
"What?!" Lin Chen gasped in shock, "Uncle, are you sure?"
"It’s certain," Third Master shook his head, then went on, "Moreover, Fang Yi seems to be connected with Dragon Team as well, though it appears he’s been expelled. None of that matters, it just proves his capability. Most importantly, Fang Yi previously wreaked havoc overseas, acting ruthlessly and decisively, making him a dangerous man."
Lin Chen wasn’t aware of these details about his adversary, and hearing them now, he felt an inexplicable fear. Few could earn such an assessment from his uncle.
However, Lin Chen didn’t know that Third Master had yet more unspoken thoughts; in his heart, people like Fang Yi who, once they target someone, clung on relentlessly were the most troublesome.
"Uncle, what should we do?" Lin Chen asked.
"Chen, don’t rush. Now that I am here, I’ll certainly not let Fang Yi get away. We need to crush him first to prevent future troubles," Third Master spoke slowly, his eyes slightly narrowed, with a sinister sharpness flickering within.
In Third Master’s mind, such troublesome people had to be dealt with swiftly.
Fang Yi, huh? No matter how capable you are, by challenging the entire Lin Family, you will surely pay the price. Lin Zheng here would like to see what storms you could possibly stir up.
