Chapter 132: Eat Well, I'll Serve You More If That's Not Enough

"I... I'm sorry." Leng Hao said, though clearly against his will.

"What are you apologizing for?" Lin Ming chimed in from the side, eager to fuel the fire.

Hearing this, Leng Hao shot a venomous glare at Lin Ming, but upon meeting Su Yifan's cold, piercing gaze, he suppressed his rage and spoke again, "I'm sorry, Shu Yan. I shouldn't have coveted your beauty or harassed you. Please forgive me."

Xu Shuyan was taken aback; she had never expected someone as arrogant and haughty as Leng Hao to end up in such a state. She glanced at Su Yifan, and seeing he remained unmoved, she looked away and said, "You can go now."

She wasn't being soft-hearted; she was afraid of retaliation. Leng Hao was the second son of the Leng family in Jinling, one of the most prominent and powerful families in the entire city. She wasn't worried for herself, but she feared that Su Yifan would suffer for her sake later. She did not want to be the cause of his downfall.

Upon hearing that Xu Shuyan had forgiven him, Leng Hao scrambled to his feet and hurried out of the room.

"Wait a moment."

Suddenly, Su Yifan's voice cut through the air. Leng Hao paused, his frustration boiling over, but the fear of Su Yifan's strength kept him from showing it.

"I've already apologized! What more do you want?"

"Don't worry. I just wanted to give you a piece of advice: if you don't want to see disaster befall yourself or your family, you had better behave." Su Yifan said calmly. "Oh, and remember to pay for this room on your way out."

Leng Hao said nothing and walked straight out.

*Kid! Let you be arrogant for now. Once my men arrive, I will make you wish you were dead!*

Watching Leng Hao's figure disappear, Su Yifan turned to the two henchmen lying on the floor. "Are you going to leave on your own, or do I need to throw you out?"

At these words, the rest of the group didn't quite understand what he meant. But in the next second, the two men who had been blasted away earlier scrambled up from the ground and fled without a word. When they were thrown back earlier, they realized they were no match for him, so they had pretended to be unconscious to escape the crisis. They couldn't fathom how he had seen through such realistic acting.

"Impressive, Brother Fan! You even saw through them playing dead." Lin Ming couldn't help but give his best friend a thumbs-up.

"Focus on your cultivation, and you'll be able to do it too," Su Yifan said, then looked at the other classmates standing nearby. "Everyone, please sit. Everything is fine now."

Yet, even as he spoke, the classmates remained standing, showing no sign of wanting to sit back down.

Seeing this, Lin Ming spoke up, "What are you all standing there for? Are you dazed by Brother Fan's handsomeness?" He turned to Xu Shuyan and smiled. "Shu Yan, sit."

Hearing Lin Ming, Xu Shuyan snapped out of her thoughts. She gave a slight nod and returned to her seat. The other students, seeing this, finally felt at ease and sat back down.

"Let's just pretend the little interruption didn't happen and keep eating," Lin Ming suggested.

The tense atmosphere among the students gradually began to relax.

As they were eating, a male classmate spoke up, "Yifan, you were so cool just now. I never expected you to become a martial artist."

"Exactly! It's a good thing you stepped in, Yifan, otherwise our Shu Yan would have been bullied by that guy." A girl stared at Su Yifan with hearts in her eyes, secretly fantasizing. *If only I were the one being bullied... then I would have an excuse to offer myself to him.*

Su Yifan had been the "class heartthrob" back then. Who would have thought that five years later, he would be even more handsome and possess such formidable strength? Look at those muscles—how big and firm they were! How happy she would be if she could be his girlfriend!

"It's nothing. We're all classmates; how could I just sit by and watch?" Su Yifan replied nonchalantly. If not for the fact that there were two martial artists on the other side and Lin Ming couldn't handle them, he wouldn't have bothered to intervene.

Just then, Lin Ming's eyes lit up. He looked at Xu Shuyan and said, "Shu Yan, Brother Fan saved you just now. Don't you think you should show some appreciation?" He shot a wink at his best friend.

Su Yifan wanted to smack him for that mischievous look, but with so many people around, he held back.

Xu Shuyan rose from her seat, picked up a glass of red wine, and gazed at Su Yifan with deep, lingering eyes. "Um, Yifan, thank you for earlier. I'd like to toast you." She prepared to drink.

"Shu Yan, you..." Lin Ming started to chime in again.

Before he could continue, Su Yifan suddenly placed his hand on Lin Ming's shoulder, his fingers deftly pressing a specific pressure point on his throat. In the next moment, Lin Ming realized his voice had vanished. He looked at his friend in shock. *What? What's going on?*

"Oh? You want lobster? Sure." Su Yifan placed an Australian lobster into Lin Ming's bowl. "Eat your food properly. If that's not enough, I'll serve you more."

*That will teach you to talk too much. Now, just eat in peace.*

Lin Ming was on the verge of tears. *Brother Fan, I'm doing all this for you! How could you silence me? Is there no justice?* There was nothing he could do; he knew his friend wouldn't release the pressure point until the meal was over, so he lowered his head and ate in silence.

***

About half an hour later, seeing that everyone had finished their meal, Lin Ming was just about to ask his friend to release the pressure point when—

"Bang!"

The door to the private room was kicked open with great force. Four figures walked in slowly, one of whom was Leng Hao, who had returned. His injured hand was now bandaged.

Seeing the four men walk in and sensing the powerful aura radiating from them, the people in the room were instantly plunged into fear. Just as most of them had suspected, the man had returned for revenge.

*What are we going to do?!*

"~~" Lin Ming opened his mouth, only to remember he couldn't speak.

Seeing Leng Hao return, Xu Shuyan stood up. "Leng Hao, what are you here for now?"

"What am I here for? That brat humiliated me just now. Did you really think I would just let him go?" Leng Hao said coldly. As the second young master of the Leng family, he had never suffered such indignity in his life. Therefore, this brat had to die today! *And you, you bitch—playing the cold, pure maiden in front of me while being all smiles and laughter with others. Once I finish him off, I'll deal with you!*

"Leng Hao, this has nothing to do with him! If you have a problem, take it out on me!" Xu Shuyan pleaded.

"Take it out on you? Fine. Then kneel and crawl over here to serve me. If you please me, I might just let him live," Leng Hao said triumphantly. *You bitch! I wondered why you never accepted me; it turns out you had another man on the side. Very well, I'll see just how pathetic you can be!*

Xu Shuyan gripped her small fists tightly, her heart in turmoil. It was all her fault. She couldn't drag anyone else into this, especially not him. He couldn't be harmed—he absolutely could not!

Taking one last look at Su Yifan, she loosened her clenched fists. "Fine..."

She prepared to do as Leng Hao asked.

Just then, Su Yifan's weary voice came from the side: "I told you to behave, so why is it that you just won't listen?"
