Translator: 549690339

When Mr. Ling spoke like this, Lin Lin’s aunt was taken aback, torn with hesitation.

She knew Mr. Ling’s background and was well aware that these schoolmates of her niece stood no chance against him.

Mr. Ling was the most honored guest today, someone she couldn’t afford to offend, nor dared to.

But on the other side were her niece’s schoolmates, the ones she had invited over to liven up the party.

If she didn’t smooth things over, these schoolmates would definitely be bullied by Mr. Ling’s men, and it would be a miserable sight.

Therefore, she was very conflicted and regretted, wishing she had not asked Lin Lin to invite her classmates to the party.

Stationed to one side, Lin Lin was getting anxious but not particularly scared.

After what had happened that night at the KTV, she knew the capabilities of Luo Ziling; she was clear about the energy her classmate had.

Taken to the police station, so many people had come to their rescue, and ultimately Luo Ziling and the others were unharmed.

With such prowess from Ziling, what was there to fear?

Although the group looked quite extraordinary, and their references to each other suggested significant status, with terms like “Mr.,” Lin Lin wasn’t very worried. However, she didn’t dare to say anything to her aunt, knowing how difficult the situation was for her.

As the host, her aunt was naturally in a dilemma when her guests clashed.

“Throw them all out. Save us the trouble of their company here,” the handsome young man known as Mr. Ling suddenly turned cold and commanded his entourage, “If they resist, break their legs!”

Lin Lin’s aunt was stunned, never expecting that the usually gracious Mr. Ling would turn his face so suddenly.

And when he said this, he didn’t even consult her, essentially showing no regard for her feelings.

At that moment, Mr. Ling spoke again, unapologetically, “Li Jiawei, this is none of your business. Don’t think about sticking up for them. You don’t have the power or the status. I came to your party today not to give you face, but at the invitation of your friend. If today your friends dare to bully us and we let it happen, how are we supposed to get along in the future?”

“Who do you think you are?” Seeing that her aunt Li Jiawei was embarrassed, Cao Jianhui was furious. He pointed his thick, carrot-like finger at the man who seemed even more handsome than Luo Ziling, “To be so disrespectful in front of girls, pah!”

After Cao Jianhui’s angry shout, two strong young men immediately charged out from the group, flanking Cao Jianhui from both sides.

Just by observing their stance, it was clear they were skilled.

Seeing the two formidable men encircle him, Cao Jianhui instinctively stepped back.

Luo Ziling couldn’t just sit back and watch any longer; he stepped forward, shielding Cao Jianhui, and looked coolly at the two rugged men approaching, “Are you planning to throw punches?”

The two well-built men hemming them in were Mr. Ling’s bodyguards, exceptional at their craft, and retired special forces. They had always followed behind Mr. Ling, ensuring his safety.

Upon seeing Mr. Ling’s signal to act, without any hesitation, they charged forward.

But what they hadn’t anticipated was that someone would dare to stop them.

“Move aside,” the slightly dark-skinned bodyguard on the left commanded coldly.

The bodyguard on the right, silent, advanced toward Luo Ziling, his posture screaming that if he didn’t move aside, he’d get hit.

“Everyone step back,” Seeing the two burly men continue walking over unapologetically, Luo Ziling immediately ordered the classmates standing behind him to step back to avoid getting hurt during the upcoming fight.

Lin Lin’s aunt, Li Jiawei, was extremely anxious. Her husband had also arrived and initially wanted to come up to mediate, but after being rebuked by Mr. Ling’s people, he didn’t dare to raise his voice. He was even more aware of Mr. Ling’s identity as a scion they had to appease; he wouldn’t dare to provoke him even if he had a hundred times the courage.

He didn’t blame Mr. Ling and his group for not giving him face; instead, he blamed Lin Lin’s classmates for causing him trouble.

He wasn’t clear about what had transpired earlier but chose to stand with Mr. Ling.

Seeing that the conflict between the two parties was inevitable, he also gently pulled his wife aside and whispered a few words, advising her to interfere as little as possible and not to offend Mr. Ling, or else their planned endeavors might not come to fruition.

After hearing what her husband had said, Li Jiawei was still very hesitant but eventually pulled Lin Lin aside and quietly asked about the situation.

Seeing that Luo Ziling wouldn’t make way but instead stood in front of them, the two bodyguards suddenly struck at Luo Ziling.

The two had also realized that Luo Ziling’s skills were not lacking, so they attacked at the same time, aiming to subdue Luo Ziling in one move and then toss him out.

“Thud”—the sound of bodies colliding came, very muffled, followed by a person being flung outward.

It turned out that Luo Ziling had stepped forward and collided fiercely with one of the bodyguards.

The unprepared bodyguard, upon the fierce collision, was sent flying several meters and fell in front of Mr. Ling.

“Thud”—another muffled sound as the other bodyguard, who had yet to display his skills, was quickly sideswiped by Luo Ziling and sent flying. He was hit obliquely by Luo Ziling and nearly crashed into Li Jiawei and her husband, who were watching from the side.

This sudden turn of events left everyone dumbfounded.

So did Mr. Ling. He was startled by the bodyguard thrown his way and instinctively retreated two steps.

Luo Ziling did not press forward after his victory, but instead, stepped back two steps to stand beside Cao Jianhui.

If the other party did not strike again, he would not initiate another attack.

At that moment, Mr. Ling’s phone rang. Upon seeing the caller ID, he immediately stepped back to answer it.

“Auntie,” Mr. Ling had answered the phone, and the ferocious expression on his face immediately disappeared, replaced with a smile as his voice softened, “Why are you calling me so late?”

An unfriendly female voice came from the other end of the phone, with no pleasantries: “Leave the banquet immediately and do not argue with anyone. If your car is still in the hotel parking lot in five minutes, you will bear the consequences!”

“What?!” Mr. Ling was stunned, unable to believe his aunt would order him in such a tone.

He didn’t have a very good relationship with his aunt and there was little interaction between them. He had always been idle and thus often infuriated his aunt.

She never interfered with what he did and was never one to nitpick his actions.

But today, she had called out of the blue, scolding him inexplicably and even threatening him impolitely.

Although he felt anger upon hearing this and didn’t want to heed her threats, thinking of his aunt’s status in the family and her tactics, he couldn’t help but shiver.

“Let’s go!” In the end, he held back his anger, his face ashen, and ordered his friends, “Let’s leave this place!”
