At this moment, Lin Tangmou and Zhao Yanyu were sitting in the car.
Accompanied by bodyguards, they skillfully broke in, tied up Lin Xinran without a word, and carried her away.
Passersby on the road hastily made way, for the Lin family handled their business with such blatant arrogance.
The two had timed their move perfectly, knowing Su Yi was not at home, providing the opportunity to abduct Lin Xinran.
By now, Lin Xinran's mouth had been gagged, making all her attempts to struggle futile against the strength of two brawny men.
She desperately pounded on the car door with her hands, attempting to break free.
"Let her go!!!"
A roar of rage burst forth as Su Yi, eyes red with fury, rushed forward recklessly.
"Damn it, why is it him again!" Lin Tangmou became instantly irritated upon seeing Su Yi from inside the car.
Lin Tangmou got out of the car, looking at the young man before him.
"Release her!" Su Yi demanded coldly, his eyes bloodshot.
"She's my goddamn daughter, what the hell does it have to do with you?" Lin Tangmou said uncaringly, "She's about to marry into a great financial family. Look at yourself, you're nothing; damn it."
"I can release her, sure." Zhao Yanyu sauntered out of the car, extremely arrogant, "If you go now and divorce her, I might consider letting her go."
"What do you say, think about it? After all, for trash like you to have climbed so high up the family tree, you've done well for yourself."
Su Yi's face was grim. He didn't bother wasting words with these two and turned to get into the car to save Lin Xinran.
"Getting too big for your boots." The Family Head leaned against the car as over ten bodyguards exited the vehicle, surrounding Su Yi and his people.
Zhao Yanyu said mockingly, "I'll give you another chance. Leave now or wait till we beat you into leaving."
At his wit's end, Su Yi truly lost his temper, flipping his hand and grasping several silver needles.
The priority was to rescue Lin Xinran as quickly as possible. If a real fight broke out and she got hurt by mistake…
That was a cost he couldn't bear!
A cold light flashed in Su Yi's eyes.
Zhao Yanyu chuckled coldly, "Looks like you prefer punishment to a polite drink. Bodyguards, take him down for me!"
A group of men in black stirred, slowly closing in from all sides. Zhao Yanyu watched the scene unfold with great interest.
Soon, she would make Su Yi kneel before her like a dog, begging for mercy!
"Hold on!"
A cry halted everyone in their tracks. It was an attendant of Wang Mengsheng.
He walked over in an unhurried manner, "Friends, this lady is already Mr. Su's wife. Could you please make an exception and let her return?"
Zhao Yanyu replied mercilessly, "Someone is actually standing up for this waste. Do you know who we are?"
The attendant's face was indifferent, "I don't."
This response undoubtedly hit a raw nerve for Zhao Yanyu! Ever since marrying into the Lin family she had been high and mighty, and this was the first time someone had disregarded her so!
Zhao Yanyu retorted, "An ignorant country bumpkin trying to play the big bad wolf! You don't even know our Lin family, and today I'll make sure you learn!"
The attendant remained unafraid, "I am an underling of the Wang Family's Wang Mengsheng. Our young master has instructed me to protect Mr. Su today, and I would kindly request that the Lin family not interfere."
The Wang Family? Wang Mengsheng?
Zhao Yanyu was momentarily taken aback, "Some insignificant little family dares to act so tough. Who do you think you are?"
Lin Tangmou suddenly tugged at Zhao Yanyu's clothes, speculating, "Could it be the Wang Family from the north of the city? Their eldest son, I remember, seems to be called Wang Mengsheng."
Zhao Yanyu was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter, "The Wang Family from the north of the city? Ha! Do you think that trash Su Yi has any ties to the Lin family of the northern city?"
In the eyes of the Lin family, Su Yi was nothing but an ant, and he would not even count as one to the Wang Family of the northern city!
Zhao Yanyu said coldly, "Had enough fun? If you have any sense, you'll leave quickly!"
As the encircling crowd closed in, Su Yi spoke icily, "Delusional!"
Just as Zhao Yanyu was about to speak, a beautiful parabola swept across the air—a silver token appeared before them.
She hastily caught it and upon close inspection, found the token to be antique and majestic, with the character "Wang" prominently engraved in the middle!
The Wang Family of the Northern City!!!
Crack!
It was as if a thunderclap resounded in Zhao Yanyu's mind; she stared straight at the token in front of her, dumbstruck on the spot.
Lin Tangmou stepped forward, equally dumbfounded, with cold sweat breaking out all over.
It really was the Wang Family of the Northern City!
Any family from the Northern City could easily annihilate the Lin family as effortlessly as crushing an ant, let alone the top-tier Wang Family!
Thinking back on their recent actions, weren't they courting a disaster that could wipe out their entire family?!
This time, they had truly kicked an iron plate!
The first to recover, Lin Tangmou fell to his knees with a thump, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was blind and mistook someone for someone else. Please, have mercy and forgive us!"
Lin Tangmou then turned to Zhao Yanyu who was still shivering as she stood, pulled her to the ground, and begged in a low voice, "It's all a misunderstanding, please spare us. We don't want the person anymore, we will never dare to harass you again..."
The security guards looked at each other, but seeing the horror-filled eyes of their masters, none of them dared take a step forward.
The attendant looked towards Su Yi, signaling for him to decide what to do.
Su Yi was also somewhat surprised.
The Wang Mengsheng he had casually saved turned out to be such a big shot!
It seemed he wouldn't have to take matters into his own hands today.
"Aren't you going to release her now?!" Su Yi demanded coldly.
Lin Tangmou said hurriedly, "Release her! Release her now!" Turning to the bodyguards, he shouted, "Didn't you hear? Damn it, release her quickly!"
A few bodyguards hastened to let Lin Xinran out of the car.
Lin Xinran threw herself into Su Yi's arms, her body involuntary trembling from fear. Su Yi gently embraced her and carefully checked her over; thankfully, she was not seriously hurt.
Lin Tangmou and Zhao Yanyu knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe too loudly.
Su Yi looked at Lin Tangmou and Zhao Yanyu who had lost all dignity, his face filled with disgust, "Damn it, scram!"
The attendant waved his hand, and Lin Tangmou and Zhao Yanyu, as if receiving a great pardon, hurriedly got up to summon their people and didn't dare to stay a moment longer in the car.
The sound of the car soon disappeared around the street corner.
...
Lin Batian sat on the sofa and listened to the intermittent account by Lin Tangmou and Zhao Yanyu, with cold sweat not stopping.
How did that waste Su Yi get involved with someone from the Northern City's Wang Family?!
He pondered for a long time.
After ruling out many possibilities, the only explanation could be that the Wang Family's eldest son happened to cross paths with Su Yi during his wanderings and helped him casually.
Such a good-for-nothing as Su Yi couldn't possibly end up in a high position with the Wang Family's eldest son. Therefore, just wait some time for the eldest son of the Wang Family to leave, and then they could deal with Su Yi at their leisure.
After all, on this piece of turf belonging to the Lin Family, nobody had the upper hand!
However, no matter what, as long as Su Yi didn't really become friends with Wang Mengsheng, everything would be manageable.
Lin Batian mused, and the tight furrow of his brow gradually eased.
"We'll just consider this as bad luck this time," Lin Batian said slowly.
Despite this conclusion, Lin Batian couldn't help feeling wary; that was, after all, a family whose mere footsteps could send tremors through the entire Dragon Country—a bit of caution never hurt.
Lin Batian thought for a long while, "You two, go investigate Su Yi's background, make sure whether he has any connection with the Wang Family."
"If not, when the timing is right, it's not too late to crush this annoying flea!"
"Yes!" the two responded.
...
Lin Tangmou watched the Family Head slowly walk away, "We've found out from our people below that the Wang Family's eldest son did come to Yian recently. And he caught an illness."
"Ill?" Zhao Yanyu was taken aback, "Lin Xinran said she was cured by that waste—could it be... that Su Yi cured Wang Mengsheng?"
