Chapter 100: Did I Allow You to Leave?
Gao Junyi, Jia Lei, Wang Jun, and several rich second-generation and official second-generation heirs around them were all stunned.
Originally, they all thought Lin Mo was doomed. Unexpectedly, the Medical Saint Hu Beipeng suddenly appeared.
Not only did Hu Beipeng step forward, but he also vowed to protect Lin Mo to the death.
This was truly unexpected.
Wang Jun was also shocked by Hu Beipeng's sudden appearance, but his expression soon darkened as he coldly said,
"Hu Beipeng, I respect you as the Medical Saint and recognize your extensive connections in Lin City. Your Hu Family is even on equal footing with our Wang Family! If it were any other matter, I, Wang Jun, would be willing to give you some deference and save your face."
"However, this particular matter does not allow it. Today, even if it causes a rupture between the Hu Family and the Wang Family, I, Wang Jun, am determined to make this young man pay the proper price!"
"You…" Hu Beipeng didn't expect Wang Jun to be so assertive. However, Hu Beipeng immediately responded with a stern face, "Wang Jun, I'm not joking with you. If you touch him today, I can guarantee you will greatly regret it!"
"Oh? I'd really like to see that!"
Wang Jun's expression turned icy as he looked towards the Martial Arts Master bodyguards in front of him and harshly commanded, "Take action!"
"Let's see who dares touch Mr. Lin!"
Suddenly, another voice resonated like thunder from a clear sky.
Everyone was taken aback once more and instinctively turned their heads to look towards the source of the voice.
There, a middle-aged man in a fur coat, with a cigar in his mouth, strode forward followed by several dozen burly men.
"Lu Haotian? The Underboss of Lin City?!"
"Even big shot Lu Haotian is here! What is Lin Mo's identity that he can garner the aid of so many important figures?"
"Yes, I really don't understand this Lin Mo anymore. The plot has shifted too quickly; my heart can hardly take it."
Accompanied by the surrounding murmurs, Lu Haotian had already walked up to Lin Mo. Amid everyone's extremely shocked and astonished stares, Lu Haotian deeply bowed to Lin Mo and respectfully called out,
"Mr. Lin!"
Seeing this scene, Dong Man was completely stunned. She never imagined that Lin Mo would know Lu Haotian, and it was clear that Lu Haotian had come to back him up!
Is this even real?
Gao Junyi was equally flabbergasted. Lu Haotian, the notable Underboss of Lin City, revered by everyone in the underworld, was showing such respect to a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man?
He could never have imagined that Lin Mo knew such a big shot.
"Damn it, how can this be…"
At the same second, Wang Jun's face looked extremely troubled. Initially, dealing with Hu Beipeng alone was already a headache for him, and now, an even more formidable figure, Lu Haotian, had appeared.
If it were only Hu Beipeng, turning against the Hu Family and eliminating Lin Mo would have been quite simple.
But with Lu Haotian's arrival, the implication was entirely different.
As the Underboss of Lin City and showing such respect to that young man, going against him was undoubtedly inviting huge trouble for the Wang Family!
Now, Wang Jun had already begun to feel intimidated, considering negotiation.
However, before he had a chance to speak with Lu Haotian, another voice suddenly exploded like thunder.
"Mr. Lin, how have you been lately?"
Immediately thereafter, everyone saw a middle-aged man in a suit and with an imposing demeanor, confidently walking towards them.
Upon seeing this middle-aged man, everyone's eyes widened!
Wang Jun's body shivered as he murmured in disbelief, "Jiang… Jiang Chengfeng… Mayor Jiang?"
At that moment, everyone was terrified, and Dong Man's mouth was agape, as if it could fit three or four eggs.
She was truly shocked. Just Hu Beipeng and Lu Haotian had already overturned her understanding and her guesses.
But, what she had never imagined was that Jiang Chengfeng, the Mayor of Jiang City, actually knew Lin Mo! And moreover, he greeted Lin Mo so proactively!
Gao Junyi shuddered all over. He had never dreamed that Lin Mo would know Jiang Chengfeng, and Jiang Chengfeng's attitude was almost as respectful as that of Lu Haotian and Hu Beipeng!
Then, in the center of everyone's attention, Jiang Chengfeng walked briskly toward Lin Mo, regardless of the looks from others, extended his hand warmly and slightly bowed:
"Mr. Lin, long time no see."
Lin Mo nodded slightly and shook hands briefly with Jiang Chengfeng.
Only then did Jiang Chengfeng notice the atmosphere around him, which was quite different; he frowned and asked Liu Chang, who was not far away:
"What's going on here?"
Liu Chang was startled but quickly explained the situation.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chengfeng's expression darkened instantly, and he turned toward Wang Jiarong with a very dangerous tone: "Wang Jiarong! You must have the guts of a dog! How dare you offend Mr. Lin? Even trying to kill Mr. Lin? Really now!! Do you know who Mr. Lin is?"
This outburst from Jiang Chengfeng frightened everyone from the Wang Family.
Wang Jiarong trembled even more, his expression extremely awkward and low as he said: "Mayor Jiang, may I ask what's the relationship between this young man and your Jiang Family? I am somewhat unclear, please enlighten me."
"What relationship does he have with our Jiang Family?"
Jiang Chengfeng repeated, with a cold laugh, pointed at Lin Mo loudly and said: "This young man, as you refer to him, is a valued friend of my father and a lifesaver of our Jiang Family! Now, do you understand?"
At this…
Suddenly, everyone present felt like they were suffocating, and Dong Man's mind seemed to sputter as if countless bombers were flying across her brain, buzzing loudly.
Her face felt as though it had been slapped twenty or thirty times harshly; the incredible reversal, the disbelief made Dong Man feel as if her heart was about to explode.
Her body was like struck by lightning; she almost fainted on the spot.
The young man she looked down upon, the one she believed had no background or future, the person she was certain she had not misjudged, turned out to have far more powerful connections and relationships than she could have imagined.
She was filled with immense regret, seeing that the Wang Family, which even Gao Junyi dared not provoke, appeared like mere ants before Lin Mo!
It was truly ridiculous!
"What… what?" Wang Jiarong almost fell to the ground, his eyes filled with disbelief. If Lin Mo had just known Jiang Chengfeng, perhaps there might still have been a chance.
But Lin Mo knew Jiang Chengfeng, the head of the Jiang Family! The Jiang Family, an enormous entity in Lin City and even in Shu Province.
Simply not something the Wang Family could afford to provoke.
What a ridiculously foolish act he had committed.
However, fortunately, Jiang Chongguang had not personally shown up; if Jiang Chongguang had come to the site, it would have meant even more.
"Mayor Jiang… all this, it was a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!" Where was the arrogance and dominance in Wang Jiarong now? Fawning over Jiang Chengfeng and apologizing earnestly.
"A misunderstanding?" Jiang Chengfeng gave him a cold look and said unmistakably: "Since it's a misunderstanding, apologize to Mr. Lin right now."
Wang Jiarong's expression was awkward; his own son had his hand cut off, and Amir was kicked to death by Lin Mo, and now he was supposed to apologize to this seventeen- or eighteen-year-old?
However, considering the enormousness of the Jiang Family, Wang Jiarong gritted his teeth, walked straight to Lin Mo, his body very reluctantly bowed at ninety degrees, and said loudly:
"I am sorry! Mr. Lin, I offended you today!"
After speaking, Wang Jiarong's face turned red to the extreme, clearly very unwilling. Before leaving, he glared resentfully at Lin Mo, then waved to the Wang Family's Martial Arts Master bodyguards: "Take the young master, let's go!"
Everyone thought that this matter had ended perfectly. Lin Mo had broken Wang Jiarong's arm and even killed Amir but came out completely unscathed, truly making a big impression.
But, what everyone had never expected was that Lin Mo said with an indifferent face:
"Did I allow you to leave?"
