Chapter 34: No Leniency, No Retreat
Deng Li finished speaking and hurried to Luo Lin’s side, pointing at Ye Fan with a face full of grievance. "Brother Luo, it’s this reckless piece of trash! He slapped my face until it swelled up. He didn’t even show you any respect just now. You must not let him off lightly!"
Before Luo Lin could speak, Deng Li turned to glare at Ye Fan, screaming hysterically, "Ye Fan, you reckless thing! Didn't you have plenty to say just a moment ago, acting like you didn't care about Brother Luo at all? Now that he’s here, why have you gone mute? You hit me? If you've got the guts, try hitting me again!"
*Slap!*
Before the arrogant Deng Li could react, Ye Fan struck her again, causing blood to spurt from her mouth. He raised an eyebrow. "You want me to try?"
"What?" Deng Li’s face turned deathly pale, and she trembled all over. "Brother Luo is right here, and you still dare to hit me? Brother Luo will never let you get away with this!"
After comforting Deng Li, Luo Lin glared at Ye Fan with fury. "You ignorant fool, you have some nerve, daring to hit my woman?"
*Slap!*
Before Luo Lin could regain his composure, Ye Fan raised his hand and struck him across the face!
In that instant, Luo Lin, who had arrived full of arrogant bluster, clutched his face, trembling with rage. "What? You dare hit me? Do you know who I am?"
*Slap! Slap!*
Without waiting for him to recover, Ye Fan delivered two more strikes, drawing blood from Luo Lin’s mouth. "I don't care who you are," Ye Fan said coldly.
Luo Lin, having been struck twice more, was shaking with fury. "This is Cloud Peak Company! My uncle is the second-in-command here! You dare hit me on these premises? I’m calling my uncle right now to make sure you suffer for this!"
With that, Luo Lin, his face deathly pale, pulled out his phone and dialed his uncle, Zhang Ming. "Uncle, come to Hall One and save me! Someone is causing trouble and has beaten me until I’m bleeding!"
"What?" Zhang Ming replied indignantly. "I’m currently discussing the reception for our boss with President Qin. I’ll send Wei Tian over to help you for now!"
After hanging up, Zhang Ming turned to his trusted bodyguard nearby. "Wei Tian, set aside what you’re doing and get to the company’s Hall One immediately. Someone is beating up Qin Chuan there!"
Wei Tian nodded repeatedly and left the scene, heading straight for Hall One of Cloud Peak Company.
Back in the hall, Luo Lin put his phone away and pointed at Ye Fan, his arrogance surging. "Did you hear that? My uncle is sending someone here immediately. You think you can fight me? I really don't know where you get your confidence from!"
*Thud!*
Before Luo Lin could realize what was happening, Ye Fan kicked him to the ground with overwhelming force. "My fists are my confidence," Ye Fan said, his brows furrowed.
Just then, before the kicked Luo Lin could speak, a stern, angry voice rang out from behind them: "What incredible arrogance, daring to cause trouble at Cloud Peak Company. I want to see just what kind of big shot you think you are!"
Hearing the shout, Luo Lin scrambled up from the floor and ran to Wei Tian, who had just arrived. He pointed at Ye Fan. "Brother Wei, he’s the one who hit me! You can't let him go—beat him hard!"
Wei Tian arrived on the scene, nodded repeatedly, and then looked in the direction Luo Lin was pointing.
The moment his eyes fell on the person Luo Lin was talking about, he realized it was the big boss of Cloud Peak Company, Ye Fan!
Wei Tian was suddenly drenched in a cold sweat, his face turning ghostly white. He never in his wildest dreams imagined that the person Luo Lin had offended was the mastermind and owner of Cloud Peak Company!
At that moment, Luo Lin, standing right in front of him, didn't notice the change in Wei Tian's expression at all. Instead, emboldened by Wei Tian's arrival, he became even more arrogant toward Ye Fan. "Ye Fan, you ungrateful piece of filth, didn't you talk big before, acting like you feared nothing? Now that my uncle’s right-hand man is here, are you scared? You dared to hit me? If you've got the guts, try hitting me again!"
*Slap! Slap!*
Before the emboldened Luo Lin could react, Ye Fan landed two more slaps, making him spit blood again.
Luo Lin trembled with rage. "Ye Fan, you ignorant fool! You don't even show Brother Wei respect—you’re headed for disaster!"
*Slap!*
A loud slap rang out across the hall, striking the face of the still-arrogant Luo Lin.
This single slap left the blustering Luo Lin completely stunned, silence descending upon him instantly. He never dreamed that the newly arrived Wei Tian would strike not Ye Fan, but him.
"Brother Wei," Luo Lin said, looking at him in confusion. "It’s Ye Fan, that reckless piece of trash, who is causing trouble here. Why are you hitting me instead of him?"
*Slap!*
Without waiting for a response, Wei Tian struck him again, his expression grim. "Luo Lin, take my advice: apologize to the gentleman right now, or you will regret this!"
Hearing this, Luo Lin flew into a rage, roaring at Wei Tian, "Wei Tian, you traitor! Do you have any idea who I am? You dare hit me and say such treacherous things? When my uncle arrives, I’ll make sure you pay for this!"
Wei Tian shook his head, his expression heavy and solemn. "Luo Lin, if you don't apologize to the gentleman now and continue to show disrespect, even your uncle won't be able to save you."
"Wei Tian, shut your mouth!" Luo Lin roared, his face pale and shaking. He then blustered, "My uncle is the dignified second-in-command of Cloud Peak Company, one person below everyone else! And him? He’s just a piece of trash whose entire family was wiped out! You dare compare him to my uncle? Is he even worthy?"
Just then, someone exclaimed, "President Zhang is coming this way!"
Hearing that his uncle had arrived, Luo Lin’s confidence surged again. He taunted Ye Fan, "Ye Fan, did you hear that? Even if you bought off a Wei Tian, so what? He’s just one of my uncle's subordinates! When my uncle arrives, I’ll make sure all of you suffer!"
*Thud!*
Before Luo Lin could react, Ye Fan kicked him to the ground again. His voice and gaze were cold to the extreme. "So what if Zhang Ming comes? When he stands before me, if I tell him to stand, he wouldn't dare sit!"
Ye Fan would no longer endure, nor would he pretend to be weak. Whoever dared to act like a bully in his presence, he would strike back without hesitation. He would never retreat, and he would never show mercy.
