Chapter 192: Deciding to meet Zhao Tiande in advance, should I call him father-in-law or not?
To Su Lin’s surprise, Jiang Ruoxi’s personality wasn’t as aloof as described in the book; on the contrary, she was somewhat easygoing.
Su Lin knew this was because of his good relationship with Li Ziyu, leading Jiang Ruoxi to be more open and friendly towards him as well.
After chatting for a while, the harmony in Li Ziyu’s office was disrupted by a phone call from the security guard.
“Director Li, there’s a rich second-generation named Xiao Feiyu at the door insisting on seeing his fiancée, who is your guest. We were able to stop him initially, but he somehow called some experts who have overpowered our guards, and now he’s taking the private elevator up here.”
“I’m sorry, Director Li, for our negligence.”
Li Ziyu responded calmly, “It’s okay, don’t worry about those people. Just focus on your job.”
“Thank you, Director Li.”
After hanging up the phone, Li Ziyu turned to Jiang Ruoxi, “Your nemesis has arrived. Should Su Lin and I step aside to give you some space?”
Jiang Ruoxi was instantly overwhelmed, “What, he followed me to Donghai, and even to your company?”
“Indeed, he even beat up my security guards. Remember to have him compensate for that, and make it a hefty sum.”
Jiang Ruoxi frowned, “This is outrageous. He’s like a mouse in front of me but bullies men and women outside. A man like that will never be liked by me, Jiang Ruoxi, in this lifetime.”
Su Lin suggested, “If you really don’t like this guy, just call the police. His men assaulted people. Although he can’t be sentenced for it, detention for a few days is still possible.”
Jiang Ruoxi’s eyes lit up, “Right, Su Lin, you’re so smart. How did you come up with such a devious idea?”
“Are you praising me or mocking me?”
Jiang Rouxi giggled and said, “Of course, I’m praising you.” After saying that, Jiang Ruoxi took out her phone to call the police.
Su Lin shook his head again at the sight. Xiao Feiyu, so devoted to Jiang Ruoxi, ended up in police detention. However, it was his choice, and Su Lin couldn’t sympathize with him, after all, a ‘dog-licker’ doesn’t deserve sympathy.
“Hello... hello, I’m Jiang Ruoxi. Here’s the situation...” Jiang Ruoxi spoke rapidly to save time, then hung up. Meanwhile, the elevator doors opened.
Xiao Feiyu, accompanied by two bodyguards, walked out from the elevator. Upon their appearance, Su Lin sensed the strong aura of trained expertise from them.
Indeed, the more powerful the family, the younger the grandmasters they keep around.
Xiao Tianyu revealed a smile upon seeing Jiang Ruoxi, “Ruoxi, you’re indeed here. Why didn’t you tell me you were coming to Donghai? It made me so anxious I had no cars available, so I had no choice to fly over by private jet.”
Jiang Ruoxi showed no kindness, “What does my trip to Donghai have to do with you? Do I have to report my whereabouts to you?”
Hearing Jiang Ruoxi’s annoyed tone, Xiao Feiyu hurriedly explained, “Ruoxi, that’s not what I meant, I meant...”
“You don’t need to explain. I’m asking you, what gives you the right to assault people?”
Just as he was about to act, Su Lin swiftly appeared by Li Ziyu’s side, grabbing Xiao Quan’s hand, “This is Donghai, not Modu. Make another move, and you’ll enter with hands but leave without them.” Su Lin’s words were quite fierce.
Xiao Quan’s face turned pale. When he first came in, he thought Su Lin was just a playboy and didn’t take him seriously. Only now, as Su Lin made his move, did he realize how big the gap between him and Su Lin was.
He was a true grandmaster, trained in iron skin, but his wrist felt clamped by pliers, unable to break free despite all his strength.
Seeing Xiao Quan’s face turn red, Xiao Feiyu’s expression changed, “Kid, you dare to make a move~!!”
With that, he reached for Su Lin’s shoulder. If caught, Su Lin’s shoulder would be ruined. Unfortunately for him, Su Lin caught Xiao Feiyu’s wrist instead, twisting their arms, causing both men to spin in the air and then kneel on the ground.
Both were shocked because they hadn’t seen how Su Lin moved, and then they were controlled.
“What, the Xiao family thinks they can come to Donghai and throw their weight around? Move again, and I’ll crush Xiao Feiyu’s throat.”
“No... we wouldn’t dare.”
“Xiao Feiyu, you’re oblivious.”
Seeing their softened stance, Su Lin’s expression eased a bit, “Being a dog isn’t bad, biting for your owner isn’t wrong either, but you’ve got to be discerning. Am I right?”
The two bodyguards nodded in agreement.
Su Lin looked at Xiao Feiyu, whose complexion was extremely ugly by now, but he was powerless. Although a sycophant to Jiang Ruoxi, he wasn’t really foolish. With the two bodyguards subdued by Su Lin in a move, he knew the strength difference.
Meanwhile, all unnoticed, Jiang Ruoxi was admiring Su Lin. She found Su Lin’s actions just now very domineering; he subdued the men effortlessly and looked incredibly cool doing so. But she was merely admiring, not so moved as to be interested in Su Lin from just one meeting.
“Ding~!!”
“Police, who called for us?”
Upon seeing, Su Lin realized that a police chief had arrived directly. He looked towards Jiang Ruoxi; surely, she must have mentioned her family when she called the police.
Jiang Ruoxi spoke lightly, “Uncle Zhao, I’m the one who called the police. Here’s what happened...”
The surname Zhao, and he’s a chief, Su Lin felt a headache coming on. The middle-aged man in front of him was Zhao Tiande, Zhao Yanyan’s father.
Su Lin wondered, should he address him as father-in-law or not? He now wished he could slap himself twice. Why did he have to give Jiang Ruoxi any ideas? Now, he had met Zhao Tiande earlier than expected, and in such a manner.
Although Zhao Tiande had not met Su Lin in person before, he had seen photos of Su Lin. At this moment, seeing Su Lin holding two bodyguards, he recognized Su Lin instantly.
He was somewhat surprised to see Su Lin controlling two bodyguards, kneeling in front of the office desk. It seemed there had been quite a confrontation before they entered.
After listening to Jiang Ruoxi, Zhao Tiande approached Su Lin, “I didn’t expect we would meet in such a way.”
Su Lin gave a bitter smile, “Uncle, I also didn’t expect our meeting would be under these circumstances.”
“Humph! Now that we’ve met, let’s have a proper talk. Come with me to the station.”
Hearing this, Su Lin had no choice but to release the two bodyguards, then looked at Li Ziyu with some annoyance. Li Ziyu winked at him, her expression seemingly amused, as if watching a drama unfold.
