Chapter 453: Chapter 453 The Pretty Boy

Cheng Yiyi gave Li Xiaoyao a helpless look and walked aside with her cellphone to call Cheng Dongliang.

Li Xiaoyao shook his head and said, “I suggest you’d better listen to Yiyi and apologize to me now; maybe later, I can say a few words for you in front of Old Cheng.”

“Damn it,” Cheng Bayi cursed bitterly and turned his head to yell, “Security, come and throw this man out.”

Several security guards quickly approached; they all recognized Cheng Bayi and surrounded Li Xiaoyao, about to take action when suddenly a man’s voice rang out from behind.

“Mr. Li?” The voice carried a hint of doubt, but as the man saw Li Xiaoyao’s face clearly, he was suddenly delighted and said, “Mr. Li, it really is you.”

Li Xiaoyao turned around to look, somewhat surprised—it was Zhou Tianhao.

Once the top dog of Ling City, the behind-the-scenes boss of Huaqing Pool.

Haven’t mingled in Ling City for a long time, Li Xiaoyao’s contact with these people had lessened. It couldn’t be helped; the old Li Xiaoyao only wanted to have a few storefronts in Ling City and live a carefree life as a bachelor. However, as his strength grew stronger, his ambition grew too, no longer satisfied with just a small Ling City.

Now, Li Xiaoyao left all of his underworld influence in Ling City in the hands of Zhao Ge, while he himself completely receded into the background. So much so that Li Xiaoyao didn’t even know how much money he had made during this time.

If judged from a businessman’s perspective, Li Xiaoyao wasn’t up to par. But he wasn’t purely a businessman in the first place, nor did he have the ambition to build a business empire.

“Hmm,” Li Xiaoyao responded indifferently.

Zhou Tianhao was one of those who played both sides of the law, but in front of big shots, he was ultimately a minor player.

“Director Cheng, what seems to be the problem?” Zhou Tianhao, having faintly heard Cheng Bayi’s angry roar, couldn’t help but ask.

Cheng Bayi frowned—Zhou Tianhao did indeed have some clout in Ling City, but at the end of the day, Zhou Tianhao’s backing was the Cheng Family. Without the Cheng Family’s support, Zhou Tianhao was nothing but trash.

“You know this kid?” Cheng Bayi asked with narrowed eyes. Today, no matter who came to plead, it wouldn’t stop his determination to teach Li Xiaoyao a lesson. If Zhou Tianhao were to plead for him, it would be tantamount to opposing Cheng Bayi. Cheng Bayi wouldn’t mind getting rid of Zhou Tianhao and finding a new underground spokesperson.

Zhou Tianhao was sharp-witted; from Cheng Bayi’s demeanor and tone, he immediately gleaned a series of information—Li Xiaoyao had a grudge with Cheng Bayi.

“Mr. Li has granted me a second life,” Zhou Tianhao said truthfully. In the past, when he had an issue with Li Xiaoyao, had it not been for Cheng Yiyi’s timely arrival to stop him, he might have already become an outcast by now.

“Oh? A second life, huh,” Cheng Bayi’s face twisted with a snarl, “Now I’m going to teach him a lesson, are you planning to stop me?”

Zhou Tianhao was taken aback, at a loss for words for a moment.

In his memory, Li Xiaoyao had a very good relationship with the Cheng Family—so why did the third child of the Cheng Family want to lay hands on Li Xiaoyao now?

“Mr. Li, you’ve arrived.” Another man’s figure entered the vision of the few.

“Liang Wenshuo.” Cheng Bayi furrowed his brows—how was Liang Wenshuo also related to this kid? This came as a surprise to him, having originally thought the kid was just a con artist from the streets; unexpectedly, he had some real power.

But even if it was Liang Wenshuo, he didn’t care.

Liang Wenshuo was at most a local tyrant in Muze City; in comparison, his Cheng Family was the king of the entire Lu Province. There was no comparison between the two.

“Oh, you’re here too.” Li Xiaoyao nodded, glancing briefly in the distance where Lin Yuanyuan had a professional smile on her face and was still dealing with the business magnates.

Liang Wenshuo glanced at Cheng Bayi, probably guessing that there had been some sort of conflict between the two.

“Director Cheng, what happened?”

“Wenshuo, this is none of your business.” Although the Cheng Family wielded local power, Cheng Bayi was not the type to provoke a quarrel over a trifling matter.

Liang Wenshuo raised an eyebrow, chuckling, “Director Cheng sure knows how to joke. Mr. Li’s business is my business, don’t you think so?”

“So you mean to say, you plan to oppose me?” Cheng Bayi’s tone was faintly irritable.

Liang Wenshuo chuckled and turned to Li Xiaoyao, asking, “Mr. Li, Director Lin is unaware that you’re here today. Why not go and meet with Director Lin?”

“That would be good.” Li Xiaoyao nodded and then said to Cheng Bayi, “Before the press conference ends, get the cooperation agreement printed out, otherwise, I won’t mind swapping you out for someone else to collaborate with.”

“Fuck!” Cheng Bayi laughed in anger, “Who the hell do you think you are? Barking orders at me, believe it or not, I can make sure you can’t walk out of this door?”

Cheng Bayi’s voice was loud, attracting the attention of many people.

“What’s going on?”

“Seems like someone has angered Director Cheng.”

“Who’s that? Who has such guts?”

As more onlookers gathered, Lin Yuanyuan also noted the commotion and cast a glance over, spotting Li Xiaoyao with one look.

“Why is this dog slave here?” Lin Yuanyuan blinked, her lips curving into a smile.

Pfft, he’s here and didn’t even tell me.

Lin Yuanyuan walked over, just in time to hear Cheng Bayi cursing loudly, with the curses directed at Li Xiaoyao. Hearing the swearing, Lin Yuanyuan’s eyebrows instantly rose, and she strode forward in her high heels toward the inside.

“Who are you cursing?” With everyone watching, Lin Yuanyuan marched up beside Li Xiaoyao, glaring at Cheng Bayi defiantly, “Do you have a problem or something?”

Cheng Bayi was stunned by Lin Yuanyuan’s sudden appearance, taking a few seconds to recover before squinting his eyes, “I had no idea such a young man had so many acquaintances. But let me tell you, boy, it doesn’t matter how many people you know. Ling City is the Cheng Family’s turf, and with just one word from me, I can make your life miserable here.”

“Oh, the Cheng Family is so impressive, huh?” Lin Yuanyuan was not intimidated in the least. She stretched out her slender hand, nonchalantly resting it on Li Xiaoyao’s arm, patted his shoulder, and said, “No worries, I’ve got your back. Today, if anyone dares to touch a single hair on you, I’ll chop them down myself!”

This domineering attitude, this arrogance, this stance, instantly subdued the circle of wealthy businessmen.

Li Xiaoyao had a line of cold sweat on his forehead. This crazy woman, with just a few words, had made him look like a kept man in the eyes of others.

God damn it, are you helping me or setting me up? If it weren’t for all the people here, Li Xiaoyao would have turned her over his knee for a spanking by now.

Cheng Yiyi finished her phone call, her eyes shining as she watched Lin Yuanyuan. As a woman, she had an instinct that this woman’s relationship with Li Xiaoyao was not ordinary.

“Good, very good, Lin Yuanyuan, it looks like you’re really determined to oppose the Cheng Family, aren’t you?” Cheng Bayi was genuinely enraged inside, this man and woman had caused him such public humiliation, he had to teach them a lesson today.
