"Hey hey, Mr. Huang is angry now. That kid is in for a rough ride," Du Feiyu sneered.
Lin Mo lifted his eyelids and looked at him, coldly saying, "Get out of my way."
Then he threw a punch, with True Qi surging like a dragon. Mr. Huang's face changed dramatically in an instant. The punch mark hit him directly, sending him flying into the cold, dark seawater, with a splash.
"Not even a Martial God, and you dare to be so bold in front of me!"
A chilling silence spread across the entire deck.
Du Feiyu opened his mouth, gasped for air, and failed to recover his senses for a long time.
Du Jie, Be, and the others stood frozen like statues.
Du Xueqi covered her mouth with her delicate hands, struggling not to let out a scream.
"Lin Mo, who exactly are you?" Du Ruoxi widened her eyes in surprise and uncertainty, her face full of shock.
Mr. Huang was a genuine Martial Emperor-Level master. The Du Family members all knew of Mr. Huang's strength. Despite his old age, a casual punch or kick of his could snap a tree as thick as a leg, but now he had been blasted into the sea by Lin Mo without any chance to fight back.
As for the bodyguards that had come with Mr. Huang, they stood petrified, daring not to move forward.
Lin Mo did not pay any attention to the people around him and strode toward the staircase.
Upstairs was an array of leisure private rooms. Lin Mo found the one where Lin Shanshan was and kicked the door made of red sandalwood open, immediately seeing Du Li, Ma Yan, and Lin Shanshan seated inside.
The sudden intrusion startled Du Li and Ma Yan.
The three turned their heads to see a casually dressed young man with black hair and black eyes standing at the door. Du Li and Ma Yan simultaneously frowned.
Lin Shanshan was stunned for a moment, then her lips quivered excitedly as she stood up, "Brother Xiao Mo."
In Lin Mo's heart, there was anger, within his chest raged fierce flames. Lin Shanshan was a pure and kind-hearted girl who used to follow him around when she was little, begging him to play with her. Even after she went away to middle school, Lin Mo always brought her gifts every time he came home.
Within the Lin Family, Lin Mo's relationship with Lin Fang, Lin Shuai, and others was just ordinary, but with Lin Shanshan, it was as close as siblings.
Lin Shanshan was a pitiable girl who had never seen her biological mother. Now, she had finally been brought back to the family by her father only to undergo similar agony. Lin Mo felt somewhat lucky; he was fond of Xia Mengdie himself.
But what about Lin Shanshan? Marrying someone from Han Country, leaving Huaxia far behind, even if she suffered, she could not tell her family. The Du Family had brought her back only as a bargaining chip for their interests.
"Shanshan." Lin Mo didn't even glance at Du Li and Ma Yan as he walked in, took Lin Shanshan into his arms, and gently stroked her head, just like when they were little.
"Brother Xiao Mo seems to have arrived late," Lin Mo said with a hint of guilt.
Lin Shanshan shook her head, her eyes slightly reddening, "Not late, I thought Brother Xiao Mo had already left."
"I couldn't leave before sorting out your affairs," Lin Mo said lightly, with a trace of chill flickering in his eyes.
Du Li frowned and pondered, "Lin Mo, how did you get here? What are you trying to do?"
Speaking, Du Li glanced at the door panel that had been kicked away.
"Is this Lin Mo, the guy who went up against Cheng Wen?" Ma Yan looked at Lin Mo, a look of disgust on his face.
"How did I get here? How will you explain this to me, Du Li?" Lin Mo pulled Lin Shanshan along, turned his head, and stared at Du Li with a piercing gaze.
A trace of anger also showed on Du Li's face. After all, he was the head of the Du Family, with a net worth of billions, a tycoon in Forbes— Even first-grade officials in the province would be polite to him, unused to being questioned so directly to his face.
"Lin Mo, even if your father Lin Luo were here, he wouldn't dare speak to me in such a tone. It seems your Lin Family is nothing but a minor clan. Do you think this is Hong City?" Du Li fiercely slapped the table and scolded in a cold voice.
"Is that so? It seems you really didn't take my words to heart. If you had taken the time to investigate my identity and the Lin Family's, perhaps you wouldn't have made such a grave mistake," Lin Mo shook his head and said softly.
A look of suspicion flashed across Du Li's infuriated face.
Ma Yan sneered, "What other identity could you have? Isn't the Lin Family just a minor clan? You actually dare to run wild in our Du Family and even hurt my son. It's only because of Shanshan that we haven't made things difficult for you. Don't assume our Du Family is an easy target."
"Did I allow you to speak? How noisy," Lin Mo waved his hand casually, and with a slap, sent Ma Yan flying.
Seeing this scene, Du Li was both shocked and furious. He was surprised that Lin Mo was a Martial Arts Master, and angry that he had the audacity to hit his wife and storm into the Du Family's engagement ceremony, showing no regard for the Du Family whatsoever.
"Brother Xiao Mo," Lin Shanshan bit her thin lips hard, with a hint of worry in her eyes.
Lin Mo looked at Lin Shanshan, "Is the Du Family forcing you to marry into a family from Han Country?"
"Brother Xiao Mo, how did you know?" With teary eyes, Lin Shanshan hung her head, not daring to meet Lin Mo's gaze. She had intended to keep this matter from Lin Mo.
"You little rascal, you always try to keep your worries hidden from me so as not to make me concerned, but when have you really ever been able to keep a secret from Brother Xiao Mo?" Lin Mo shook his head, helpless.
With her cheeks flushed, Lin Shanshan stammered, "I'm sorry, Brother Xiao Mo. I just didn't want to make you worry about me."
"It is I who should apologize. You don't know Brother Xiao Mo's real identity; that's why you would choose to sacrifice yourself for me," Lin Mo sighed.
Immediately afterward, Lin Mo looked at Du Li and said, "Do you remember what you said in Hong City? You promised my aunt you would take good care of Shanshan, but now you've brought me back to the Du Family just to use her as a pawn in a marriage alliance."
Du Li's eyes widened, his hands clenched the sofa armrest so tightly veins bulged on the back of his hands, nearly tearing the genuine leather, and he said with a gloomy face, "Lin Mo, this is a matter for the Du Family. It's not your place to interfere. How do you know Shanshan marrying Mr. Li Mingjun won't be happy?"
"I don't know about happiness, but as long as Shanshan is unwilling, no one can force her," Lin Mo said lightly.
"Good, good for you, Lin Mo. Do you really think that with your power alone, you can turn the tide? You're too young," Du Li huffed coldly.
"I've already overlooked the matter of you injuring Cheng Wen because of Shanshan. But when you hurt Wei Ya, do you think the Wei Family will let you go? You're being stubborn, failing to understand the situation is only going to bring harm to the Lin Family eventually."
Lin Mo shook his head, "Du Li, Du Li, it's a pity that despite being a big shot in Xiazhou, you still don't know who I am?"
(Wonderful continuation tomorrow.)
