"Brother Wu, Brother Wu, save me!"

Seeing Brother Wu walk in with thirty or forty thugs, Tiger Brother lunged towards him like he'd found a lifeline.

Brother Wu had many ruthless men under his command, and with all of them together, they could definitely chop Lin Chen into mincemeat.

Zhu Tao and the others, seeing the menacing Brother Wu, paled and were about to slip away but were blocked by some gangsters.

It was over; this guy had offended Brother Wu and was as good as dead.

Damn it, not only was this guy finished, but he'd also dragged everyone else down with him.

Zhu Tao and the others looked ashen-faced; they'd all heard of Brother Wu's reputation. Around here, he was the tyrant; those who offended him were either dead or maimed.

Tiger Brother, clutching Wu's leg and sniveling, said, "Brother Wu, I know you like the VIP rooms, so I talked to these guys about switching rooms, but this guy not only refused but also crippled the brothers I brought."

"I said I'm your man, but he didn't give a damn and even said he'd take you down too, claiming that he's the real boss around here."

Tiger Brother's acting was spot-on, and upon hearing his words, Brother Wu's expression darkened as well.

"Who has the audacity to touch my people?" Looking at his men groaning on the ground, Brother Wu's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

To think that someone dared to attack his men on his own turf was a direct affront to his face – an insult to Brother Wu's dignity.

Tiger Brother was elated to see Brother Wu get angry; he could almost see Lin Chen being chopped to pieces.

Brother Wu's face was grim, his eyes cold as they landed on Lin Chen.

But when he saw the person sitting there drinking tea with a smiling face looking at him, Brother Wu's body trembled.

"Brother Wu, get rid of this guy and avenge our brothers!" cried Tiger Brother, still acting on the side.

"Slap!"

Suddenly, a crisp slap rang out in the room.

Tiger Brother clutched his swelling cheek, utterly confused.

"Brother Wu, why did you hit me!" Tiger Brother asked, clutching his face and looking aggrieved.

"Damn you, are you blind? You dare mess with my brother?" Brother Wu said furiously.

"What, your brother!" Tiger Brother felt his heart sink.

"Brother Lin, I thought it was someone else, turns out it's you. Thank you for sparing them; these little bastards deserve to be beaten," Brother Wu said with an obliging smile.

"What?"

Seeing Wu try to please him, everyone was stunned, Tiger Brother especially turned deathly pale, his legs shaking.

Who was Brother Wu? He was the local thug emperor. Seeing him so courteous to Lin Chen meant without a doubt that Lin Chen must be a very significant figure.

"Brother Wu, just now that Tiger Brother wanted to cripple me," Lin Chen said with a smile.

"Damn that little bastard, I'll cripple him!" Brother Wu glared angrily at Tiger Brother.

"I can give you face and cripple just one of his hands," Lin Chen said indifferently.

That bastard had dared to fancy Li Meiying, triggering Lin Chen's wrath, so Tiger Brother had to pay the price.

"Alright, I'll take care of it," said Brother Wu, turning around with a cold look at Tiger Brother.

"Brother Wu, what are you going to do?" Tiger Brother asked with a pale face, never imagining that Brother Wu would be so respectful in front of Lin Chen.

Wuye sighed, "Kid, your only fault was messing with someone you shouldn't have."

As he spoke, he grabbed Tiger Bro's arm and twisted it backwards!

"Ah!" Along with a scream, Tiger Bro's arm was broken, his left hand completely disabled.

"Kid, you should be thankful to Mr. Lin. If he had taken matters into his own hands, it would have been far worse for you," Wuye said coldly.

"Yes, yes, thank you, Mr. Lin. I was blinded by ignorance, I deserve death," Tiger Bro knelt in front of Lin Chen, repeatedly kowtowing.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Tao, Zhang Xiaoxue, and the others were all dumbfounded. Just who was this Lin Chen? To think that after breaking someone's arm, he still receives their kowtowing gratitude.

"Brother Lin, are you satisfied?" Wuye said, trembling.

He knew full well how formidable this guy was. Initially, when at Little God Chef Private Kitchen, dozens of his own men were terrified by Lin Chen's nunchaku skills, not to mention that Lin Chen had now become a person who could shake DY with a single stomp.

Lin Chen nodded, "Today I'll spare this guy on your account, Wuye. But if there's a next time."

"Click!" The cup in Lin Chen's hand instantly shattered.

Wuye's heart skipped a beat, and he turned his head to his subordinates, "You rascals, take a good look, this man here is Mr. Lin, the Chairman of Starlight Group. From now on, whoever dares to be blind, I'll cripple them myself."

"What? He's Chairman Lin!"

Wuye's words exploded like thunder in Li Meiying's classmates' minds.

He was actually the Chairman of Starlight Group!

Everyone's faces changed dramatically, they had just been mocking Lin Chen for his poverty, but they had never imagined that the esteemed Chairman Lin they admired was right beside them.

Zhang Xiaoxue's face was a picture of disbelief. She had invited Li Meiying today to show off her wealthy husband, but she could never have imagined that Li Meiying had found a true diamond bachelor.

Lin Chen, with a net worth of billions, made her useless husband seem like heaven and earth in comparison.

Zhu Tao's forehead was dripping with sweat, regretting the words he had said earlier.

Lin Chen was his boss, able to dismiss him with a single word, but just now...

"Chairman Lin, I was completely blind earlier!"

Lin Chen looked at Zhu Tao and snorted coldly, "Our company needs responsible managers. It's time for you to seek opportunities elsewhere!"

Hearing Lin Chen's words, Zhu Tao collapsed on the ground, never having imagined that the position of general manager he had strived for years to attain would be destroyed over a single meal.

Now everyone looked at Lin Chen with awe, never imagining that this so-called country bumpkin was actually a business titan who held sway in DY.

Li Meiying was almost stupefied, she even thought she might be dreaming.

How could it be? Wasn't Lin Chen just a high school student? How could he suddenly become the President of Starlight Group?

By then, Lin Chen had already taken Li Meiying's hand, "Let's go, this party is too dull."

Wuye's men automatically lined up into two rows, respectfully bowing their heads as they watched Lin Chen leave.

Li Meiying suddenly felt like Cinderella in a fairy tale, with Lin Chen beside her as the charming prince.

And Li Meiying's classmates, seeing her holding Lin Chen's hand, all wore expressions of envy and resentment. They knew that from this moment on, this university peer would skyrocket to a different world than theirs.

Lin Chen and Li Meiying got into the BMW, and as everyone watched, he slammed on the accelerator and sped off.

"Phew! Keeping up appearances is exhausting. Teacher Li, how did I do today?" Lin Chen gasped for breath.

Li Meiying stared intently at Lin Chen, her cheeks flushing with a touch of red, "Who exactly are you, I understand you less and less!"
