Soon, there came a middle-aged man in a Chinese tunic suit walking towards them from the hotel's elevator entrance.
When he saw the middle-aged man, Xiao Fu immediately brightened up and went to meet him:
"Brother Yang, you finally arrived."
Yang Ping glanced at him, smiled politely, yet frowned and asked, "What exactly has happened? Why did you even call me personally?"
Xiao Fu turned and pointed at Lin Mo and the others, then spoke with a tone filled with fury:
"Brother Yang, these jerks just hit my girlfriend!"
"Not only do they refuse to apologize, but they also dare to cause trouble here, completely disrespecting your authority as the hotel manager!"
Yang Ping's expression turned slightly cold, "Is that so?"
The next second, Yang Ping looked over at Lin Mo and his group, noticing their ordinary attire, and even one of them was wearing a Tian Nan University uniform.
Having been a manager for so many years, Yang Ping was naturally much better at reading people than most.
He could easily see that these university students were of much lower status compared to Xiao Fu.
"Brother Yang, these jerks are way too arrogant. You must give me an explanation for this!" Seeing Yang Ping's expression change slightly, Xiao Fu pressed on while the iron was hot.
Yang Ping slightly nodded, his gaze landing on Lin Mo and the others:
"Who gave you the permission to hit people in the Sea View Building?"
The front desk clerk immediately explained:
"Manager, it's not what you think. Actually, these two customers made a bet with these four and lost, so they started hitting people, and the bet was hitting her as a consequence..."
"Shut up!"
Yang Ping glared fiercely at the front desk clerk: "I didn't ask you to speak, why are you interrupting?"
Lin Mo glanced at Yang Ping, his face calm: "I ordered Fatty to hit them. What do you plan to do about it?"
Yang Ping scoffed:
"What do I plan to do? Regardless, it's wrong for you guys to hit someone, especially here in my Sea View Building."
"Now, I demand that you apologize immediately to Wen Li and Xiao Fu!"
Lin Mo cast a cold glance at him: "What if I refuse?"
"Heh!"
A sinister smile spread across Yang Ping's face, "If you refuse, then I'll have to personally take care of you."
Saying so, Yang Ping took out a walkie-talkie, then ordered a few commands into it.
Not long after, about a dozen security guards quickly arrived at Yang Ping's side.
Yang Ping waved his hand, and the security guards, like tigers eyeing lambs, surrounded Lin Mo and his group with dangerous expressions.
Seeing this, Wu Yifan and the others looked somewhat panicked, but Lin Mo kept his hands in his pockets and wore a faint smile on his face.
"What are you smiling about?"
Yang Ping couldn't help but grow curious and asked Lin Mo.
"I'm laughing at you for being an idiot!"
A look of contempt spread across Lin Mo's face.
"You dare insult me?"
Yang Ping's face instantly turned very ugly. He had been the manager of Sea View Building for seven or eight years, and no one had ever dared to speak to him with such a tone, nor had anyone dared to insult him like this.
Staring fiercely at Lin Mo, Yang Ping commanded with a threatening tone:
"Beat them up!!"
The security guards immediately took their batons and coldly charged toward Lin Mo and his group.
Watching this unfold, Wen Li wore a smug face: "Serves you right, daring to hit me, this is what you get!"
Xiao Fu also sneered coldly: "A bunch of jerks daring to hit Xiao Fu's girlfriend, you really asked for it!"
"I dare you to touch him!"
Just then, a commanding voice of a middle-aged man suddenly echoed in everyone's ears.
His voice boomed, intimidating like a thunderclap, as if a tremendous force was sweeping over, many in the room felt a pressure on their chests, as though a giant rock was crushing them, almost leaving them unable to breathe.
When Yang Ping saw who the person was, his expression drastically changed, and he shouted at the security guards:
"Stop right now!!"
Hearing this, just as their batons were about to hit the heads of Wu Yifan and the others, they fiercely withdrew them.
Everyone was baffled as to why Yang Ping wanted them to stop.
Wen Li and Xiao Fu were also somewhat puzzled; who was this middle-aged man who had suddenly spoken?
However, Yang Ping was trembling as if he was facing a formidable enemy; he bowed deeply at ninety degrees to the man and respectfully said,
"Mr. Hong!"
Mr. Hong snorted coldly without responding to his greeting; instead, he directly slapped Yang Ping across the face.
Yang Ping spat out teeth and blood together, but he dared not utter a word of complaint. He still bent low, with fear clearly visible on his face.
In an instant, the whole scene fell deadly silent. Yang Ping had been slapped half to death and didn't dare to utter another word?
Just how powerful was the identity of this newcomer?
Mr. Hong glared at him coldly, full of anger,
"Do you know who you just offended?"
"If I had arrived a moment later, you would have only one path left—death!"
Yang Ping's face changed, and he became extremely pale, with cold sweat continuously streaming down his face.
Then, Mr. Hong quickly walked up to Lin Mo, speaking very respectfully:
"Mr. Lin, I didn't expect to meet you here again."
Lin Mo glanced at him dismissively and said indifferently, "It seems like you haven't managed your 'dog' well."
Mr. Hong's face darkened. He turned and glared fiercely at Yang Ping, shouting angrily,
"Aren't you leaving? Cut off both your hands as an apology to Mr. Lin after going back!"
Everyone present was shocked; the potential figure Yang Ping so revered turned out to be so humble in front of Lin Mo?
Mr. Hong was at least twenty or thirty years older than Lin Mo!
At that moment, Xiao Fu's face also became extremely unsightly. He quickly caught hold of Yang Ping and asked, "Brother Yang, who... who is this man?"
Smack!
Yang Ping slapped Xiao Fu hard on the face, "I must be cursed, who is he? He's the chairman of the Martial Arts Association!"
Hearing this, Wen Li and Xiao Fu were completely paralyzed, feeling as if the sky was collapsing.
The two were absolutely desperate, only now realizing the terrifying entity they had provoked.
Wen Li felt as if she had fallen into the Eighteen Layers of Hell. In her dreams, she had never imagined that the fat man she looked down upon had such an incredible and explosive brother.
Now, she was not only regretful but also scared to death.
Just as Yang Ping was about to leave, Lin Mo stopped him:
"Wait..."
Yang Ping immediately trembled, "Sir, do you... do you have any instructions?"
Lin Mo glanced at him, then looked at Wen Li and Xiao Fu, and said coldly,
"I'm assigning you a task. Throw these two into the sea to feed the fishes!"
"Can you do it?"
Yang Ping, slightly shocked, nodded without hesitation, "Yes!"
Hearing this, Xiao Fu and Wen Li's faces turned completely pale.
"Spare us, please!!! Sir, we were wrong, we truly admit our mistake!!"
"Please, spare us!!"
But Lin Mo's face remained coldly indifferent, "If I'm not mistaken, you intended to kill my brother, didn't you?"
Hearing this, Xiao Fu's face turned ashen; he and Wen Li did indeed plan to kill the fat man.
Because Xiao Fu liked Wen Li, but her having a fat ex-boyfriend made him feel that it was the biggest stain on his life!
Mr. Hong glanced at Yang Ping and said sternly,
"What are you still waiting for?"
Yang Ping swiftly instructed a few security guards. Regardless of how Xiao Fu and Wen Li begged, the guards forcibly took them away.
Everyone was stunned; what terrifying power did this young man possess that allowed him to dictate the life and death of others so casually without even lifting a finger?
Mr. Hong personally had the front desk clerk open the most luxurious private room for Lin Mo and the others.
Then, Mr. Hong personally escorted Lin Mo upstairs, with Wu Yifan, Zhuang Zhou, and the fat man closely following behind him. But their hearts were already immensely shocked.
Their boss, how many more unheard-of, earth-shattering methods did he still have?
