CHAPTER 1033: CHAPTER 1030: I DIDN’T USE FORCE

"Good, the Xiao sisters are impressive." Many merchants cheered loudly.

Some merchants looked towards the Yun Family and the Ning Family. As the situation has developed to this point, neither family has shown any movement, leaving them puzzled. What exactly are these two families planning? Are they going to let both sides continue to cause a scene here?

Bai Yuze sneered and said, "I know your family is all women, but that’s not an excuse for soliciting sympathy. Besides, who knows how these women have managed to support such a large family, maybe with beauty trades, heh heh..."

His heh heh was extremely lewd, implying that Mrs. Xiao, a woman in charge, might be using beauty trades to support a family. This innuendo was incredibly vicious, causing others, including those on his side, to frown.

Even if they made things difficult for the Xiao Family, they always argued over matters, without resorting to such personal attacks. But Bai Yuze had already crossed the boundary of decency.

"You..." Miss’s face turned exceedingly ugly. Her mother had painstakingly supported the entire family through her diligent efforts, yet now Bai Yuze had labeled her with such a stigma.

She felt furious inside, seemingly about to explode and tear Bai Yuze into pieces. But she also knew that if she hit someone here today, the Xiao Family might become enemies with the Yunhua Commerce.

The Xiao Family had been struggling, and only recently had a slight improvement. If they became enemies with the Yunhua Commerce now, they would truly be surrounded by difficulties.

Miss’s expression shifted, and she clenched her fist, ready to make a decision. But Xiao Manxuan couldn’t bear it anymore, and with clenched fists, she was going to hit Bai Yuze.

Bai Yuze sneered, not dodging or evading. He wanted the Xiao Family to make a move, completely turning them into enemies with the Yunhua Commerce. The Yunhua Commerce’s alliance controlled half of the business world, and becoming enemies with them was almost a death sentence in commerce.

Unless one was part of the Sea Navigation Chamber of Commerce, for only they could rival the Yunhua Commerce. But Bai Yuze knew the Xiao Family could not become members of the Sea Navigation Chamber of Commerce, as it was led by the Li Family, with whom the Xiao Family had grievances.

Bai Yuze’s purpose was clear, to corner the Xiao Family.

By now, Xiao Manxuan was extremely angry. She even forgot to send Little Zi out, stepping forward herself, showing just how furious the young girl was. But as she took a step, she found herself unable to move.

She turned her head to see Lin Tian had come up behind her, holding her shoulder.

"Lin Tian, why are you holding me back? Do you think Bai Yuze shouldn’t be hit?" The little girl asked, puzzled.

Bai Yuze looked at Lin Tian smugly and said, "Lin Tian, it seems you’re wiser, knowing to keep your head down. I can tell you, Ziwei Garden does not allow violence. If the Second Miss dares to hit me, the consequences will be unbearable for the Xiao Family."

He was exceedingly proud, as if he had already stepped on the Xiao Family and Lin Tian, trampling them freely. He did not fear Lin Tian now because behind him was a group of businessmen backing him up.

"Lin Tian..." Xiao Manxuan’s face turned bitter, and tears welled up in her eyes, seemingly about to cry. In this moment of grief and indignation, she felt her tears could no longer be held back from spilling over.

"Second Miss, don’t cry. If you cry, you wouldn’t be the proud Second Miss anymore." Lin Tian gently stroked her soft hair and spoke softly.

Miss also looked at Lin Tian, and it was clear she was feeling bad too.

Lin Tian pulled the Second Miss behind him, then waved at Bai Yuze, who was unsure of his intentions. Bai Yuze laughed and said, "Do you want to apologize? If you share the jade resources, I can reluctantly accept."

Saying this, he walked up to Lin Tian, looking at Bai Yuze, who was now close. Lin Tian showed a sly smile, suddenly raised his palm, and slapped Bai Yuze on the face.

Lin Tian’s force was unquestionable. The slap knocked Bai Yuze directly to the ground, leaving him stunned, lying there not getting up.

The other merchants were also dumbfounded. Someone actually dared to hit someone at a gathering, such nerve. Yet, Yun Family and Ning Family maintained a subtle silence without stopping Lin Tian.

"Lin Tian, what are you doing!" Bai Yuanhao was the first to react, furious that his son was hit, and being struck in public was like a blow to the Bai Family’s reputation, intolerable.

Lin Tian glanced at Bai Yuanhao and coldly said, "Heh, isn’t it obvious? I hit your son."

"I hit your son," this sentence nearly made Bai Yuanhao faint from anger, so direct and unrestrained, not even bothering to disguise it, was incredibly infuriating.

Bai Yuanhao took a couple of breaths and said, "You know the consequences of hitting someone? You can’t afford them."

"Consequences? Heh, the consequence is that I felt extremely satisfied hitting him. I’m standing here, welcome to hit me back and avenge your son. If you don’t dare, you’re just a coward." Lin Tian arrogantly said.

Others turned their heads upon hearing this, thinking where did this young man come from, so arrogant. Until now, they still didn’t know Lin Tian’s identity, only that he arrived with the Yun Family.

"You..." Bai Yuanhao’s facial muscles twitched, his fists clenching and releasing, not daring to strike back at Lin Tian.

He knew that to attack Lin Tian was as futile as hitting an egg against a rock, an ant trying to shake a tree. Bai Yuanhao was very aware of Lin Tian’s combat power.

"Lin Tian, Ziwei Garden does not allow violence, don’t act recklessly!" Shen Liyan said with a cold face, adopting his presidential demeanor to stop him.

"Violence?" Lin Tian laughed quirkingly and said, "I am indeed rough, but I didn’t act violently. I’m a civilized person."

The Xiao sisters, initially feeling bad, couldn’t help but laugh hearing Lin Tian say this. They thought this scoundrel was truly bold, in front of all the chamber members, speaking such crude words.

But for unknown reasons, hearing Lin Tian’s playfully venting curses, Miss and Xiao Manxuan felt greatly relieved. Against villains, one must use villainous ways.

The Ning father and son probably saw such a brazen person for the first time, their expressions were quite interesting, then shook their heads with amusement, not knowing if they couldn’t deal with Lin Tian, or found his temper intriguing.

Ou Mengmeng’s eyes widened, thinking that there is someone even more unscrupulous than me. Zhou Botong’s friend really knew no bounds, shouting boldly what others wouldn’t dare curse openly.

"Such an insult to civility, utterly disgraceful. I won’t speak with you, hurry and release Mr. Bai, or bear the consequences." Shen Liyan, accustomed to noble circles, had never seen someone like Lin Tian, and waved his hand hastily for Lin Tian to release Bai Yuze.
