Chapter 497: Chapter 496: Drink a toast or suffer the penalty
"Lin Yang, don’t make me force you to do things the hard way. I know you’re tough, but today, I’ve gone all in. My family is well off, so if you behave, I can give you some slack. If you don’t, then don’t blame me for not being polite. When the time comes, I will tell my dad everything that’s happened in Jiangnan, and we’ll see if he can handle you."
Hearing this, Lin Yang’s frown deepened, and after a long silence, he finally spoke, "So what do you want to do?"
"That’s easy."
Liu Tingting walked up to Lin Yang, grinning, and said, "I want you to marry me."
Lin Yang was speechless at Liu Tingting’s request: "Little sister, do you know what I’m doing in Jiangnan? I’m still in my first year of high school, and you want me to marry you? Do you think that’s appropriate? Also, don’t you think we’re a complete mismatch?"
"No, we mesh well, and besides, is it not enough that I like you even if you don’t like me?" Liu Tingting answered as if it were a matter of course.
"That..."
Lin Yang was at a loss for words.
"No, I refuse."
At these words, Liu Tingting’s brow furrowed instantly, and she shouted with rage, "Lin Yang, don’t think you’re something special just because you’ve got some skills. Let me tell you, my sister isn’t someone to mess with. If you piss her off, I guarantee she won’t just make it impossible for you to get by in Jiangnan, but she might also drag the entire Lin Corporation down with you."
At these words, Lin Yang’s heart skipped a beat.
He was confident, but he didn’t believe he could take on Lin Corporation.
If Lin Corporation were to go after him no-holds-barred, he doubted he would have any chance of escape.
Seeing his reaction, Liu Tingting said triumphantly, "Lin Yang, if you know what’s good for you, you’ll agree quickly. Otherwise, I will not only tear down your room but even let all the men in Jiangnan know you’re scum."
Hearing this, Lin Yang fell silent once more.
"If you’re not willing, there’s nothing I can do, but think it over carefully. Don’t you have a girlfriend? Just send her over to me; I don’t mind having more rivals for my affections."
At these words, Lin Yang’s eyes narrowed instantly.
He knew that Liu Tingting was threatening him, using Liu Yun’s safety to force him to compromise.
With that thought, Lin Yang’s gaze became steely.
"Since you’re so stubborn, there’s nothing more I can say. We’ll just wait and see."
"Heh, Lin Yang, do you hate me right now?"
Lin Yang didn’t reply and simply left the hotel.
Watching Lin Yang’s retreating figure, a cold glint shone in Liu Tingting’s eyes: "Lin Yang, don’t blame me for being merciless. This is the only way. If you don’t agree, you might never see your girlfriend again."
After leaving the hotel, Lin Yang went straight to the ground floor.
"Lin Yang, you came out. You sure are slow."
As soon as Lin Yang stepped out of the hotel, Liu Tingting, accompanied by four burly men, came up to him.
At this sight, Lin Yang’s brow furrowed.
"Lin Yang, I know you want to retaliate against me, but let me warn you, you’d better be good. If not, don’t expect to leave here alive today."
Hearing this, Lin Yang’s brow arched, his eyes full of mockery as he looked at Liu Tingting.
"Liu Tingting, I’m really speechless with you. You not only like to be aggressive but are also utterly unreasonable. Why, as a girl, are you so fixated on bothering me? What on earth do you want?"
Liu Tingting gave a cold laugh at this and said, "Lin Yang, didn’t you know? I fell for you at first sight, you idiot."
"You’re talking nonsense!"
"If I’m talking nonsense, then you’re the idiot!" Liu Tingting’s expression grew fierce.
"I don’t want to waste words with you. If you want me to get in the car, I’ll get in the car," Lin Yang said helplessly, shaking his head.
"Hmph!"
Seeing Lin Yang’s demeanor, Liu Tingting snorted coldly, then waved her hand and said, "Take him, lock him in the warehouse."
"Yes!"
Four strong men shouted in unison, then started walking toward Lin Yang.
Seeing this, Lin Yang frowned deeply, "Hey, hey, Liu Tingting, I’m your brother-in-law, you can’t do anything to me."
"Cut the crap, whether you admit it or not, today, I’m going to settle with you, unless you die," she said.
"What if I don’t agree?" Lin Yang asked indifferently.
Hearing this, a murderous intent flashed in Liu Tingting’s eyes as she smirked, "Lin Yang, you’d better remember, if you don’t agree to my terms, I’ll make you disappear from this world completely."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yang’s expression turned cold and he said, "Liu Tingting, don’t forget that it was you who asked me to come to Jiangnan City, and I was driven out of Jiangnan City because of you. If it weren’t for you, I would have graduated by now. If I really die in Jiangnan City, it would be no big deal if I died, but if you and your father also suffer because of it, you’d better think it through."
"Haha, Lin Yang, are you threatening me?" Liu Tingting laughed coldly.
"You could say that!" Lin Yang shrugged.
"Hmph, Lin Yang, since you refuse to drink a toast and insist on drinking a forfeit, then I won’t be polite," Liu Tingting huffed coldly, waving her hand to signal the four strong men to take action.
Upon seeing this, Lin Yang didn’t hesitate at all, turned his body, and ran towards the distance.
Seeing this, Liu Tingting snorted coldly and said, "Go after him, today whoever dares to stop me, I’ll kill them."
Hearing her, the four strong men immediately charged forward rapidly.
"Liu Tingting, I’m telling you, if I die, you won’t be able to get away either, don’t forget that your parents’ lives are in my hands. Just one word from me, and your parents will lose their lives because of you," Lin Yang called out.
Hearing this, Liu Tingting’s expression changed instantly.
"Fine, if you dare harm my parents in the slightest, I will make sure you pay with your life," she declared.
After saying that, she immediately hailed a taxi and sat in it.
Seeing that, Lin Yang also hurriedly caught a cab and followed.
"Driver, please go faster, I’m in a rush," Lin Yang said.
Hearing this, the corners of the driver’s mouth twitched.
Where on earth did this girl come from? In this day and age, is there someone who doesn’t want to live?
"Miss, where are you heading to?" the driver asked curiously.
"East City District."
"Oh, okay, we’ll be there soon. Young man, I advise you not to make any rash moves, or else, if something happens, I can’t afford the responsibility," the driver cautioned.
"Mm, thank you," Lin Yang replied.
"Don’t mention it."
...
The East City District was the most prosperous area in Jiangnan City, where all the elites of Jiangnan City congregated.
After arriving in the East City District, Lin Yang found a hotel and checked in.
As night fell, Lin Yang walked alone into a nearby restaurant, ordered two dishes, and began enjoying the delicious food.
After eating his fill, Lin Yang took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Hello, it’s me, Lin Yang."
Upon hearing Lin Yang’s voice on the other end of the phone, Zhaoyunfeng was overwhelmed with excitement.
"Yang ge, you finally contacted me, where are you?" he asked.
Hearing this, Lin Yang chuckled and said, "I’m in Jiangnan City."
"Yang ge, you’re in Jiangnan City now?"
"Yes, I’m already in a restaurant in the East City District."
At this, Zhaoyunfeng paused, "Yang ge, what are you doing in a Jiangnan City restaurant?"
