Chapter 132

Shen Youlin didn't come alone - he was accompanied by Passerby A and a group of bodyguards.

Shen Youlin approached Yu Shu and gently asked while holding her hand, "Are you hurt?"

Yu Shu shook her head, and Shen Youlin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

With his keen insight and ability to read situations, Feng Shuo could tell at a glance that Shen Youlin possessed an air of authority, and knew he wasn't someone to be trifled with.

He had only met Yu Shu twice before, and had simply helped her deal with two uncles in her family as a personal favor. Now, faced with Yu Shu and Shen Youlin on one side and his own brothers' children on the other, the choice of which side to take was obvious. But what was Shen Youlin's background?

The KTV owner, a shrewd man, quickly tried to smooth things over with flattering words, arranging for a large private room so that both parties could talk things through.

Shen Youlin consulted Yu Shu's opinion, and she nodded in agreement, instructing her bodyguards to take the remaining two girls to the hospital and inform their families.

Feng Shuo's men tried to stop them, but Shen Youlin's men were adamant and pushed them back.

Due to this incident, Feng Shuo and his two present brothers were grim-faced as they sat down in the private room.

The culprits were locked in the adjacent room, with Feng Shuo's and Shen Youlin's men guarding the door.

Passerby A showed Feng Shuo a tablet computer with his information: "Feng Shuo, 62 years old, ancestry from Ningyuan Village, Lingyuan Town, Tongya County, made his fortune through cross-border smuggling early on, invested in real estate since 2002..."

As Feng Shuo read further, his expression grew darker. In such a short time, Shen Youlin's men had dug up his entire background, from his humble beginnings to his current assets, family members, and personal connections.

Feng Shuo had engaged in illegal businesses to accumulate capital in his early years before going legitimate in middle age. If investigated thoroughly, he would end up serving a few years in prison.

When Passerby A felt he had said enough, he put away the tablet and politely said, "Mr. Feng, after working so hard for half your life, why jeopardize your wealth for the sake of a few unruly nephews?"

Feng Shuo stared at Shen Youlin and asked, "Who exactly are you?"

Shen Youlin casually introduced himself, "I'm this wealthy lady's kept man."

Feng Shuo and his men pressed their lips tightly, their expressions grim.

Shen Youlin clapped nonchalantly toward Yu Shu, "Not at all, I love the sound of bones breaking."

Shen Youlin beckoned to a bodyguard, "Chen Sheng, come here. He studied medicine for two years and loves fixing people's bones. Go do as Miss Yu says."

"Yes." Chen Sheng nodded and left with a few bodyguards for the adjacent room.

One of Feng Shuo's men stood up to stop them but was held back by Feng Shuo and the others.

Sounds of scuffling came from outside, and soon Feng Shuo's guard, clutching his broken arm, came in to report to Feng Shuo but wisely swallowed his words upon seeing the one-sided situation in the room.

Before long, Yu Shu heard the agonizing screams coming from the next room, piercing through the KTV's soundproofing for all to hear clearly.

Shen Youlin listened with a smile of enjoyment, rhythmically tapping his fingers on the table as if not listening to screams of agony but a world-renowned pianist's performance.

The screams eventually stopped, and Chen Sheng and the bodyguards returned to report.

Shen Youlin silently asked Yu Shu with his eyes: Is this enough?

Yu Shu nodded and told Feng Shuo, "This matter is settled today. If you and your brothers and nephews are still displeased, you can come after me, but if you involve others, I will retaliate without mercy."

Shen Youlin stood up, putting his arm around Yu Shu as they headed out. Before leaving, he turned back and said, "I heard your projects are short on funds. It so happens that I recently received some New Year's money, so let my assistant discuss with you."

Passerby A approached Feng Shuo, his expression now one of gentle warmth instead of the earlier cold aloofness.

Seeing Yu Shu's puzzled look, Shen Youlin explained softly, "There are no permanent enemies. Either cut them down completely or give them a carrot after the stick, making them regret ever wanting to see you fail."

Yu Shu asked, "I'm not confused about that. But you still have New Year's money? Didn't you hand it all over before?"

Shen Youlin looked sheepish, "Well, a man has to keep some pocket money for himself, right?"
