Chapter 2139: Chapter 2140: Covering the Sky with One Hand

The driver’s movements halted in an instant, his eyes wide, holding his abdomen before staggering to the floor.

A scream pierced the air again, and seeing the driver’s plight, the woman ran towards the door in fright.

Lin Yi paid no heed to these people, for it had nothing to do with them.

But the remaining men were scared half to death, trembling where they stood, not daring to make a sound.

Lin Yi approached Zhao Yongqiang, grabbed his hair, and jerked his head up.

“Think you’re tough, huh? It’s a harmonious society now, and you still dare to pull this stuff? Who gave you the guts?”

Zhao Yongqiang looked at Lin Yi, gasping for breath heavily.

“From the looks of it, you must have been in the mix before. I’m Zhao Yongqiang, that should say enough.”

“Go to hell!”

Lin Yi grabbed his head and smashed it into the table, plunging it into a hot bowl of soup and shattering the bowl into pieces.

Zhao Yongqiang cried out in pain, soaked in soup, his arrogance vanished.

“Bro, I give up, stop hitting me. Just name your price, I’ll pay you right now.”

Under different circumstances, with Zhao Yongqiang’s experience, he wouldn’t have given in so quickly.

But Lin Yi was too ruthless, and Zhao was completely shook.

If he didn’t admit his fault and apologize, he didn’t know what would become of him.

Lin Yi raised a hand and tossed Zhao Yongqiang out, his gaze falling on the other men.

“You all had a part in this too?”

“I, I, we…”

Two directors and two screenwriters, shivering, couldn’t even finish a sentence, scared into kneeling on the ground.

“Brother, we know we were wrong too, please don’t hold it against us.”

“When you were hurting my niece, you all acted so tough, like you could eat people alive, and now here you are kneeling?”

The four men trembled and didn’t dare speak, not even lifting their heads.

“I won’t make it difficult for you. This is the third floor, jump down from here, and I won’t pursue this matter further.”

“Jump down!”

Their expressions panicked, their hearts nearly leapt out of their throats.

Though it was only the third floor and falling wouldn’t kill them, a fracture was inevitable.

“Bro, we’ve admitted our mistakes, just let it go. I’m even willing to compensate financially. Let’s just let bygones be bygones, and if you ever need something on the streets, just give me a call, it’ll definitely work out. No need to go to extremes.”

Zhao Yongqiang had been beaten senseless just now, but now he had recovered enough to start negotiating with Lin Yi.

“Who the fuck are you to solve problems I can’t?”

“Yes, yes, I admit you’re tough.” Zhao Yongqiang said,

“Can you give me some time to make a call?”

The corner of Lin Yi’s mouth curled into a smile, “Looks like you’re scheming something with that phone call, go ahead and call now, I want to see who dares to vouch for you.”

Zhao Yongqiang, one hand on his head, shakily pulled out his cell phone.

“Brother Hao, I ran into some trouble while dining out, could you come and sort it out for me?”

“What happened, did you kill someone?”

“It wasn’t me who hit somebody, I got hit.”

“Fuck, put the phone on speaker, let me talk to him.”

Zhao Yongqiang pressed the speaker button and told the person on the phone,

“Brother Hao, he’s right here next to me.”

“Bro, who are you with? Zhao Yongqiang is my brother, we’ve been tight since we were kids. You’re not really giving me, Li Hao, any respect here.”

“Don’t give me that. I’m Lin Yi. Ever heard that name in Zhong Hai?”

“Lin Yi? You’re Master Lin?”

“As long as you know.”

“Zhao Yongqiang, has a donkey kicked your brain? How dare you mess with Master Lin? If you don’t want to live, go die by yourself and don’t fucking drag me into this!”

After being scolded by Li Hao, Zhao Yongqiang was completely confused, realizing something terrifying that made him shiver as if he were in the dead of winter.

“Brother Hao, is he really the famous Master Lin of Zhong Hai?”

“Do you think I’m joking about this? I can’t handle this matter. Whatever Master Lin decides, you have to accept it, don’t call me again.”

Li Hao hung up the phone abruptly, eager not to get himself involved.

Zhao Yongqiang and everyone in the room were shell-shocked, their minds blank.

None had dreamed they would offend someone so formidable.

However, the remaining two directors and screenwriters were slower on the uptake.

They realized they might have offended someone tremendously out of their league.

But they didn’t comprehend just how fearsome the man before them was.

“Don’t move! Raise your hands!”

At that moment, shouts came from outside the door, it was the police arriving.

Lin Yi glanced around, not recognizing any of the faces.

As expected, it must have been the hotel that alerted them, no one else would bother.

Seeing the police, everyone ran towards them as if they had seen saviors.

“Officer, please help us! This man is making us jump from the third floor, you must save us!”

The leading officer glanced at Lin Yi, his expression visibly cooling.

“Even this kind of thing you would do, really lawless.”

“Come here, I need to talk to you about something else.”

Lin Yi smiled, waved his hand, and drew the leading officer aside. They whispered for a few minutes.

Whatever Lin Yi said, the officer nodded frequently, and his demeanor seemed much more cordial.

After their exchange, the officer returned to his team and said,

“Wrap it up, let them settle this themselves.”

Hearing this, the two directors and two screenwriters were stunned on the spot.

The police were their last hope, they thought they could leave safely as victims, return to Yanjing with no further interaction, and put this behind them, but they were ordered to disengage and not handle the situation!

Why did this happen?

Zhao Yongqiang sat on the ground, speechless.

Only then did he truly realize the fear.

The police had arrived, yet with a single word, Lin Yi dispatched them.

Master Lin was indeed Master Lin.

In Zhong Hai, no one could provoke him.

After the police left, Lin Yi did not waste any time staying there.

But before leaving, his gaze swept over everyone present, and he said coldly,

“I’ve said what I needed to say. If you don’t follow my orders, I guarantee you won’t make it out of Zhong Hai alive.”
