Chapter 131: Kneel Down and Apologize to Her

"Ah!"

The sudden outburst caused the girls present to shriek, and everyone quickly stood up from their seats and moved aside.

Damn!

What was that...

Lin Ming first glanced at Leng Hao across from him, then turned his gaze toward his good friend, and immediately understood what was happening.

So that’s it.

I knew it.

Why was Brother Fan holding me back earlier? It turns out he was waiting for the perfect moment to play the hero and save the beauty.

Tsk, tsk, tsk...

Brother Fan, you never cease to amaze me.

After piecing it all together, Lin Ming gave his friend a thumbs-up. Su Yifan, seeing this, didn't understand what he was getting at.

"Young Master Leng!"
"Young Master Leng!"

At this moment, the two lackeys finally reacted and hurried forward.

"Who? Who was that who ambushed me?!"

Leng Hao gritted his teeth, scanning the crowd as he shouted in fury. Everything had happened so fast that he hadn't seen who had struck him. But no matter who it was, he was going to make them pay a heavy price!

"Stop looking around, it was your grandfather," Su Yifan said indifferently.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room was stunned. The classmates, in particular, stared at Su Yifan with wide eyes.

It was him!

It was actually him.

But how could he be this strong? Piercing someone’s hand with a chopstick was not something an ordinary person could do! And why would he do such a thing?

Soon, someone recalled something and began to whisper:

"Su Yifan is actually helping Xu Shuyan? Could it be that he has feelings for her?"

"Have you forgotten? Back in the day, Xu Shuyan wrote a love letter to Su Yifan. Now that they’ve met again and he sees her being bullied, naturally, he’s going to step in."

"Now that you mention it, I remember too. Wow, Su Yifan is so handsome and manly; I like him so much!"

...

Hearing the gossip, Xu Shuyan’s face, which had been deathly pale from fear, suddenly flushed with a hint of red.

Did he... did he really... have feelings for her?

But if that were the case, why did he leave without a word back then? Was there some hidden reason he couldn't speak of? Suddenly, she remembered all the wealthy heirs who had pursued her back then. Could it be that those people had forced him to leave?

As she was deep in thought, Leng Hao’s cold voice suddenly cut through the air.

"So it was you, kid. Do you have any idea who I am? How dare you hurt me?"

"Do I need to know?"

Su Yifan remained expressionless. He had originally planned to finish his meal and go back to sleep; he hadn't expected some troublemaker to ruin his evening.

"Good kid, you’ve got guts!"

"Of course I have guts. Don't you?"

"You..."

Leng Hao was so enraged he couldn't even speak.

***

Just then, the two lackeys realized their opportunity to curry favor had arrived. They exchanged a look, and one of them spoke up:

"Young Master Leng, why waste breath on him? Why not just cripple him?"

"That's right! The nerve of this kid, hurting you, Young Master Leng! We have to teach him a lesson!" the other chimed in.

Leng Hao nodded. "Good. Go and cripple him for me!"

"Yes, Young Master Leng!"

The two lackeys agreed and, cracking their knuckles, walked toward Li Ye [Su Yifan].

"Kid, judging by your technique, you must be a practitioner, but it’s a pity—the two of us are at the peak of the Dark Realm."

"If you don't want to suffer, you'd better kneel and apologize to Young Master Leng right now!"

The two stared at Su Yifan with cold, disdainful eyes. Su Yifan looked to be in his early twenties; even if he was a martial artist, his strength couldn't possibly exceed theirs. With that in mind, they felt they could toy with him however they pleased.

However, in the next instant—

"Bang! Bang!"

Lin Ming had been unable to restrain himself any longer. Seeing the two approaching, he didn't wait for his friend to move and immediately kicked out twice.

The two lackeys had been so focused on Su Yifan that they hadn't paid any attention to Lin Ming. Before they could react, they were sent flying by his kicks.

"How about that? Brother Fan, wasn't I impressive?" Lin Ming asked with a grin.

"Don't do that again next time. How long have you been training? With your current strength, you’re no match for them," Su Yifan said, shaking his head.

"What’s there to be afraid of? I’ve still got you, Brother Fan," Lin Ming laughed. He had just been too angry, and he felt that if he hadn't delivered those kicks, he wouldn't have been able to vent his frustration.

At that moment, Xu Shuyan’s urgent voice rang out: "Watch out!"

No sooner had the words left her lips than the two men who had been kicked away appeared behind Lin Ming.

"Kid! How dare you ambush us! Die!"

The two roared and threw a punch toward the back of Lin Ming's head. Seeing this, some of the classmates covered their eyes, terrified of witnessing the impending bloodshed.

Lin Ming felt the danger behind him, but he didn't panic at all. With his brother there, those two couldn't possibly hurt him.

Sure enough, just as their fists were about to connect with his head:

"Scram!"

Su Yifan uttered the word coldly.

The next second:

"Bang! Bang!"

Under the sheer force of that single word, the two men were blasted against the wall. If Su Yifan hadn't wanted to avoid killing someone in front of his classmates for fear of scaring them, they would already be dead.

"Hiss!"

Seeing this, everyone present gasped in shock.

Was this really their classmate? He had sent those two flying with just a single word! What was this, a movie?

"He... how could he be... so strong!"

Xu Shuyan covered her mouth, her eyes filled with astonishment as she looked at Su Yifan. Was this truly him? These past five years... what on earth had happened to him?

At this point, Lin Ming turned to the three men across from him and sneered, "Three pieces of trash. Come on, keep going."

"You..."

Faced with the provocation, Leng Hao was nearly livid. He was about to strike, but remembering Su Yifan’s display of power, he immediately lost his nerve. *No, if I don't endure this now, I'll ruin the bigger plan. I need to go back and get more men.*

*Kid, you just wait!*

With that thought, he turned to walk away.

"Did I tell you that you could leave?"

Su Yifan’s cold voice rang out.

Hearing this, Leng Hao shivered, his footsteps coming to a halt. *What! Does he dare to kill me? Impossible! I’m from the Leng family—he wouldn't dare, even if he had ten times the courage!*

"What... what do you want?" Leng Hao asked, forcing himself to remain calm as he turned around.

"Kneel down and apologize to her," Su Yifan said expressionlessly.

Leng Hao glanced at Xu Shuyan not far away. *What? Apologize to her? I’ve been fawning over her for three years and haven't even touched her once, and you want me to apologize to her? Impossible!*

"Kid, do you know who I am? I am—"

"I’ll give you three seconds. Once time is up, this will be your fate."

As soon as he finished speaking—

"Bang!"

Su Yifan flicked his finger.

In the next instant, a hole the size of a finger appeared in the wall nearby.

Seeing this, Leng Hao swallowed hard. His legs went weak, and with a "thud," he dropped to his knees.
