Chapter 182: Chapter 182: Who Could it Be?
Translator: 549690339
Watching Mr. Ling leave the banquet with a group of angry friends, Luo Ziling and Cao Jianhui, among others, were very surprised.
Li Jiawei and her husband were even more shocked, gaping in astonishment, for they knew Mr. Ling’s identity. After Mr. Ling’s people clashed with Lin Lin’s classmates, they still decided to stand by Mr. Ling, because he could bring them immense benefits if they cooperated with him.
They were also well aware of how terrifying the forces behind Mr. Ling were. Lin Lin’s classmates, in every aspect, simply couldn’t compare to him.
Clashing with Mr. Ling’s people could lead to an ugly death.
It wouldn’t be difficult for Mr. Ling to torture these students to death, and he wouldn’t be held accountable.
But unexpectedly, after his men got thrown out by Luo Ziling, he chose to swallow his pride and leave.
Just like that, they left with their tails between their legs.
This was too incredible!
“How could this be?” Li Jiawei and her husband exchanged several looks, both seeing confusion in each other’s eyes.
In Yanjing City, where not many dared to mess with Mr. Ling, he just walked away after suffering a loss.
They suspected they were dreaming.
Not only were Li Jiawei and her husband incredulous, Mr. Ling’s friends also found it baffling.
Their leader, Mr. Ling, who never liked to be at a disadvantage, saw his bodyguard thrown out and actually chose to swallow the indignity, accepting the fact that he was bullied, and left with his head down.
“Mr. Ling, are we just going to let today’s matter slide?” The one who felt the most aggrieved was a young man called Mr. Qin. As he followed the group leaving the banquet and entered the elevator, he carefully asked, “Are we really just leaving like this?”
“That kid is no ordinary person,” Mr. Ling said with eyes flashing coldly at Mr. Qin, “You, Qin Ming, are blind as a bat, always causing trouble, and you’ve also cost me face. I’ll remember this debt.”
The guy named Qin Ming was startled and quickly apologized with a smile, “Mr. Ling, please don’t be angry. I didn’t know anything about what happened today, I… really didn’t recognize those people!”
Mr. Ling didn’t pay attention to Qin Ming’s careful apology and simply snorted coldly before falling silent. He was mulling over the events that had just occurred. He was clear that the bespectacled student who had sent his two bodyguards flying was very skilled, and his identity was definitely not simple.
He subconsciously thought that his aunt’s personal call, commanding him to leave immediately, was because of that kid.
How could someone who could prompt such a call from his aunt, telling him bluntly to leave, be anything but significant?
But who was this kid?
He recognized all the wealthy and influential young masters of Capital City, and he knew there were not many who made him wary, even fewer who dared to bully him.
But this young man was certainly no ordinary individual, and his identity might be very special.
Yet, he couldn’t think of who it could be.
After descending in the elevator and arriving where his car was parked, he turned to instruct one of his followers: “Find a way to check who that kid who hit people just now is, and be sure to clarify his identity.”
“Yes,” the follower immediately agreed, “I’m on it right away!” With that, he turned and left.
After being threatened by Mr. Ling in the elevator, Qin Ming didn’t dare to approach and say anything more. Once Mr. Ling left in his car, Qin Ming also drove off, quite dejected.
While Mr. Ling was leaving the hotel with his buddies, the reception hosted by Li Jiawei and her spouse continued.
Many had witnessed the recent incident; some recognized Mr. Ling and his friends, but many others did not.
Seeing Mr. Ling storm off after being bullied, many were greatly surprised, with a suspicion murmuring in their hearts that among these unfamiliar, young guests invited by Li Jiawei and her spouse, there were likely some with extraordinary statuses.
Thus, quite a few people deliberately approached to get chummy with Luo Ziling and friends, but they, having had their mood spoiled, had no interest in mingling with these people.
Lin Lin also felt quite embarrassed, as her aunt and uncle had not offered help just now, leaving her somewhat uncomfortable.
Luo Ziling, Cao Jianhui, and the others were even less enthused about staying on.
After hanging around for a little longer, they excused themselves to Li Jiawei and her spouse, saying they needed to return to school early.
The badly-spoiled mood of Li Jiawei and her spouse led to a symbolic attempt to retain them, but they let them go without even arranging a ride back.
“I’m really sorry about today,” Lin Lin said apologetically to her classmates as they left the elevator and were getting ready to take a cab, “I didn’t expect something like this to happen.”
“Don’t blame yourself,” Cao Jianhui generously reassured Lin Lin, indicating he didn’t mind, “After all, we have our Boss here; no one needs to be afraid, he is like a super invincible Ultraman.”
Lin Lin looked at Luo Ziling with a complicated gaze, wanting to say something but feeling too embarrassed to speak up.
“None of us have had our fill yet, right,” Cao Jianhui offered heartily, “Come on, I’ll treat everyone to a big meal!”
“It should be me treating,” Lin Lin quickly interjected, “I invited everyone out to this reception today, and everyone’s leaving disappointed. I should make it up to everyone.”
“The trouble was caused by me; of course, I should be the one treating,” Cao Jianhui, though impulsive, definitely wanted to show off in front of the woman he was interested in, “I know a pretty good western restaurant nearby. I’ll treat everyone to a western meal!”
His proposal received immediate backing from the other classmates.
Seeing this, Lin Lin stepped back a little, “Then let’s both treat our classmates, each of us paying half!”
“You two shouldn’t be splitting hairs like this,” Li Fuming teased them, seizing the opportunity, “Why not just become a couple, it would be so suitable!”
Wu Longjiang quickly joined in the teasing, “Right, right, right, I also think you’re quite a good match. Why not just get together over tonight’s incident, and we’ll all bless you!”
The other classmates also joined in the teasing, with several women clapping their hands together, “Together, together, together!”
The teasing from everyone turned Cao Jianhui and Lin Lin’s faces bright red.
Lin Lin was a little annoyed and embarrassed and even cast a guilty glance at Luo Ziling, but he was over on the side, joining the other classmates in clapping and teasing.
Although Cao Jianhui was a bit embarrassed, he was inwardly delighted. He was actually quite glad that the two times he had accompanied Lin Lin out, conflicts had arisen. The conflicts seemed to create opportunities for him to get close to Lin Lin.
Seeing Lin Lin’s fully developed body and her curvaceous figure, he couldn’t help getting excited.
Seeing everyone teasing, Luo Ziling also felt that these two unexpected incidents might not have been bad things, likely creating an opportunity for Cao Jianhui and Lin Lin to come together.
