The outcome was decided.
Lin Guofa, who had just managed to sit up, showed no intention of keeping his promise, staring at Luo Yang with a resentful and venomous look.
This was Lin Guofa's family mansion, and it wouldn't take long before a large group of men would rush over.
Luo Yang thought to himself that he might as well solve the bar issue once and for all by taking Lin Guofa away to meet Zhu Li, since enmity with the Lin Family was inevitable now.
Making up his mind, he walked over, grabbed Lin Guofa by the collar, and lifted him up.
"Buddy, let's have a good chat outside," Luo Yang said, draping an arm around Lin Guofa's shoulder and forcibly dragging him to the door.
"You can't do this to my brother!" Lin Yuqing shrieked.
"Miss Lin, don't worry. I absolutely won't hurt your brother. I just want to discuss some matters with him, just a quick trip outside," Luo Yang added, turning towards Tang Guihua, "Sister Guihua, let's go."
Tang Guihua, still in shock, nodded and hurried to the door.
At that moment, Lin Guofa struggled, trying to break free. However, Luo Yang's left hand was like an iron clamp, tightly gripping his neck.
The incident happened so suddenly that the Lin Family was caught off guard and had no time to summon their thugs.
"Let go of my brother!" Lin Yuqing blocked the doorway.
"Miss Lin, the skincare product is effective, look at your hands. You said you'd give me ten thousand yuan. I'll leave it with you for now. I'll come to collect it. I told you I only wanted to talk to your brother and wouldn't hurt him," Luo Yang said coldly.
Previously, attention was entirely on the fight between Luo and Lin, and she hadn't noticed the change in her hands. Reminded by Luo Yang and looking down, she indeed saw her skin smooth as jade, both shocked and delighted.
While Lin Yuqing was still in surprise, Luo Yang had already taken Lin Guofa out of the villa and into the backseat of a car.
Tang Guihua was scared, and seeing Luo Yang forcefully taking Lin Guofa into the car, she exclaimed, "Niu Zai, where are you taking him?"
Luo Yang replied, "To Xiaoshulin Market. I'll treat him to a couple of drinks. Sister Guihua, drive."
After a moment's hesitation, Tang Guihua started the car and slowly drove off.
Lin Guofa continued to struggle, trying to get out of the car, but Luo Yang said indifferently, "Mr. Lin, if you don't behave, I'll punch out a few of your teeth. You want gold teeth, right?"
Having witnessed Luo Yang's extraordinary skill, Lin Guofa was both frightened and enraged, trembling all over but dared not say a word and finally subdued.
He had never suffered such humiliation in his life.
Just as the car was leaving the Lin estate, noisy car sounds rushed from behind, clearly a convoy of vehicles.
Shortly, a Land Rover surged forward and abruptly stopped, blocking the Peugeot 308's path.
Vehicles closed in from behind, including vans, cars, and motorcycles, their brakes screeching annoyingly.
Tang Guihua exclaimed in alarm, "Niu Zai, what should we do?"
Luo Yang reassured, "It's okay. Sister Guihua, stay calm. I'll handle it."
Glancing at Lin Guofa and seeing a smug curve at the corner of his mouth, Luo Yang realized these pursuers were related to him.
"Mr. Lin, I just want to talk with you peacefully. If you're wise, order them to turn back right away. If you want trouble, think about it—I could snap your neck with a twist. Let me show you," Luo Yang said, holding his face in his hands again.
"What are you doing?!" Lin Guofa was terrified.
Slap! Slap!
Luo Yang slapped Lin Guofa twice and said sternly, "I'm still in a good mood, so you better stick your head out of the window and tell them to leave. Otherwise, I'll make your neck spin 360 degrees, and I'll be even happier!"
From Luo Yang's stern gaze, Lin Guofa sensed the taste of death and shuddered again.
He had never faced much defeat in his life, only he bullied others, and no one had ever bullied him. Life had been smooth, but today he faced the greatest scare of his life, almost breaking his courage.
He had seen many ruthless people, but it was the first time he encountered someone whose eyes emitted a deathly aura like Luo Yang's.
"Don't, don't twist my neck. I, I'll tell them to leave."
While trembling, Lin Guofa stuck his head out of the car window and spoke a few words. Indeed, the fierce young men who had just alighted the car got back in and left like a gust of wind.
In Hongyun Town, the Lin Family was a terrifying family. Ordinary families who offended such a family met a tragic fate.
Luo Yang, a youth, had fewer concerns. Zhu Li was his foster sister, and since Lin Guofa had people smash her bar, he just wanted to see justice done for Zhu Li.
Tang Guihua, on the other hand, knew the consequences of provoking Lin Guofa. She knew she had to leave Hongyun Town or else she wouldn't even have tears to cry.
"Niu Zai, are you going to kill him?" Tang Guihua asked.
"No. Sister Guihua, don't worry. This has nothing to do with you. I just want to go with him to Xiaoshulin Market for a few drinks. Drive," Luo Yang said.
So, Tang Guihua continued to drive towards Xiaoshulin Market.
Lin Guofa sat in the back seat, pale as a ghost, with beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolling down his forehead. His father had started in the underworld, and growing up in such a family, he had never known what fear was. Today, for the first time, he felt death was merely a breath away, and his heart was filled with unspeakable terror.
In the afternoon, the bar had not yet opened.
Luo Yang then called Zhu Li. Once she answered, he said, "Sister Kick, can you come to Laixi Bar now?"
During the day, Zhu Li was distressed about the bar being smashed and couldn't understand what Luo Yang meant. She replied, "I'm at home. Do you want to drink?"
Luo Yang then explained his intention, and Zhu Li, dubious, said she would meet at the entrance of Laixi Bar in ten minutes.
A few minutes later, Luo Yang arrived at the bar first, got out of the car, and said, "Sister Guihua, you can go back first. I'll talk to you about the skincare business tonight."
Tang Guihua, still in shock, knew that troubling the Lin Family was a huge problem; however, she had indeed been involved. Feeling uneasy but unsure of what to do, she simply drove home first.
When Zhu Li arrived at the entrance of the bar and saw that the person Luo Yang was holding by the neck was indeed Lin Guofa, she was both shocked and thrilled. Approaching, she slapped Lin Guofa several times.
The group entered the bar, went up to the second floor, and entered room 210. Zhu Li waved her hand, and the group of enforcers that followed retreated out.
Only Luo Yang, Zhu Li, Chen Jie, and Lin Guofa were left in the room.
Actually, Lin Guofa and Zhu Li were of equivalent status, usually neither able to overpower the other. Both families were equally strong, and typically, they wouldn't go into conflict over minor issues. When tigers fight, the outcome is terrifying.
Luo Yang had gone to the Lin family originally to perform acupuncture on Lin Yuqing. Lin Guofa had not anticipated Luo Yang to be so formidable. Caught off guard, he didn't even have time to think before he was forcibly taken away.
At Laixi Bar, this was Zhu Li's turf; Lin Guofa was merely a guest, and an unwelcome one at that. Whether he would live or die was uncertain. Young people are impulsive, and it wouldn't be surprising if a white knife went in and a red knife came out during their conversation.
