To Su Linâs surprise, Jiang Ruoxiâs personality wasnât 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 Ziyuâs office was disrupted by a phone call from the security guard.
âDirector Li, thereâs 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 heâs taking the private elevator up here.â
âIâm sorry, Director Li, for our negligence.â
Li Ziyu responded calmly, âItâs okay, donât worry about those people. Just focus on your job.â
âThank you, Director Li.â
After hanging up the phone, Li Ziyu turned to Jiang Ruoxi, âYour nemesis has arrived. Should Su Lin and I step aside to give you some space?â
Jiang Ruoxi was instantly overwhelmed, âWhat, he followed me to Donghai, and even to your company?â
âIndeed, he even beat up my security guards. Remember to have him compensate for that, and make it a hefty sum.â
Jiang Ruoxi frowned, âThis is outrageous. Heâs 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.â
Su Lin suggested, âIf you really donât like this guy, just call the police. His men assaulted people. Although he canât be sentenced for it, detention for a few days is still possible.â
Jiang Ruoxiâs eyes lit up, âRight, Su Lin, youâre so smart. How did you come up with such a devious idea?â
âAre you praising me or mocking me?â
Jiang Rouxi giggled and said, âOf course, Iâm praising you.â 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 couldnât sympathize with him, after all, a âdog-lickerâ doesnât deserve sympathy.
âHello⦠hello, Iâm Jiang Ruoxi. Hereâs the situationâ¦â 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, âRuoxi, youâre indeed here. Why didnât 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.â
Jiang Ruoxi showed no kindness, âWhat does my trip to Donghai have to do with you? Do I have to report my whereabouts to you?â
Hearing Jiang Ruoxiâs annoyed tone, Xiao Feiyu hurriedly explained, âRuoxi, thatâs not what I meant, I meantâ¦â
âYou donât need to explain. Iâm asking you, what gives you the right to assault people?â
Xiao Feiyu, dissatisfied, responded, âThose security guards looked down on people, so I had them beaten up.â
Li Ziyu calmly stated, âMy security guards are professionally trained. I donât believe they would unjustly look down on people.â
Xiao Tianyu scoffed, âThat doorman let others in but not me, isnât that looking down on people?â
Observing Xiao Feiyu, Su Lin shook his head. It would be more interesting if the Xiao Feiyu from a parallel world were here. Otherwise, dealing with this guy is somewhat insulting to his intelligence.
âHmph! Youâre the one looking down on people. How dare you talk about others like that, Xiao Feiyu? You better apologize quickly. Also, Iâve already called the police, theyâll be here soon to detain you. Reflect on your actions in the police station.â Jiang Ruoxi said angrily.
Xiao Feiyu, instead of getting angry, replied, âRuoxi, you actually want me to reflect. That means you have me in your heart, right? Otherwise, why wouldnât you want others to reflect, but specifically me?â
Jiang Ruoxi facepalmed, âXiao Feiyu, are you pretending to be dumb? I donât like you⦠do you understand? Moreover, relying on your familyâs power to force me to marry you is impossible.â
âMy great-grandfather may have agreed to the marriage, but it hasnât been officially announced. From now on, please address me by my full name, Jiang Ruoxi.â
Jiang Ruoxiâs words were direct and ruthless. Xiao Tianyu was momentarily distressed, then returned to his usual demeanor, âRuoxi, I, Xiao Feiyu, will definitely make you my wife in this lifetime. Stop talking nonsense.â
Jiang Ruoxi gestured, âYou two, take your young master away. And remember to apologize for injuring someone, compensate where necessary.â
The two bodyguards looked at each other, unsure what to do, as they were employed by the Xiao family, not the Jiangs, so they pretended not to hear.
As everyone was at a standstill, the sound of police sirens approached from not far away.
One of the bodyguards stepped forward, looking at Jiang Ruoxi, âMiss Jiang, did you really call the police?â
Jiang Ruoxi nodded, âOf course. Did you think I was joking? Since your young master doesnât listen to me, Iâm sure you understand.â
The two bodyguards gave a wry smile, and then one of them took out a mobile phone to start arranging for someone to handle Xiao Feiyuâs matter.
Seeing this, Jiang Ruoxi snorted coldly and looked at Li Ziyu, âZiyu, Iâm begging you, please help me pursue their criminal responsibility, please!!â
Li Ziyu, seeing Jiang Ruoxi using her coquettish tactics, said helplessly, âRuoxi, why bother yourself like this? Xiao Feiyu is really not bad, and he matches you well. Heâs genuinely devoted to youâ¦â
Jiang Ruoxi interrupted, âZiyu, just tell me if you will help or not.â
Li Ziyu hesitated for a moment and then nodded, âI can help you, but at most, he can only be detained for one day.â
âThank you, Ziyu, youâre the best.â After saying that, Jiang Ruoxi leaned in and pecked Li Ziyu on the cheek.
Xiao Feiyu exploded at this, âYou⦠Li Ziyu, you dare to take advantage of my wife. Ruoxi hasnât even kissed me, Xiao Quan, go and wipe it off her.â
Hearing this, Xiao Quan hesitated. He knew Li Ziyu from Xiao Feiyuâs college days. Really go and wipe it?
But seeing the fury in Xiao Feiyuâs eyes, he knew action was unavoidable. Having been with Xiao Feiyu for many years, he was well aware that Jiang Ruoxi was Xiao Feiyuâs sensitive spot. This guy would do anything for Jiang Ruoxi.
âWhat are you waiting for, do it.â
No longer hesitating, Xiao Quan took a tissue and approached Li Ziyu.
Just as he was about to act, Su Lin swiftly appeared by Li Ziyuâs side, grabbing Xiao Quanâs hand, âThis is Donghai, not Modu. Make another move, and youâll enter with hands but leave without them.â Su Linâs words were quite fierce.
Xiao Quanâs face turned pale. When he first came in, he thought Su Lin was just a playboy and didnât 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 Quanâs face turn red, Xiao Feiyuâs expression changed, âKid, you dare to make a move~!!â
With that, he reached for Su Linâs shoulder. If caught, Su Linâs shoulder would be ruined. Unfortunately for him, Su Lin caught Xiao Feiyuâs wrist instead, twisting their arms, causing both men to spin in the air and then kneel on the ground.
Both were shocked because they hadnât seen how Su Lin moved, and then they were controlled.
âWhat, the Xiao family thinks they can come to Donghai and throw their weight around? Move again, and Iâll crush Xiao Feiyuâs throat.â
âNo⦠we wouldnât dare.â
âXiao Feiyu, youâre oblivious.â
Seeing their softened stance, Su Linâs expression eased a bit, âBeing a dog isnât bad, biting for your owner isnât wrong either, but youâve got to be discerning. Am I right?â
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 wasnât 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 Linâs 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.
âDing~!!â
âPolice, who called for us?â
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, âUncle Zhao, Iâm the one who called the police. Hereâs what happenedâ¦â
The surname Zhao, and heâs a chief, Su Lin felt a headache coming on. The middle-aged man in front of him was Zhao Tiande, Zhao Yanyanâs 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, âI didnât expect we would meet in such a way.â
Su Lin gave a bitter smile, âUncle, I also didnât expect our meeting would be under these circumstances.â
âHumph! Now that weâve met, letâs have a proper talk. Come with me to the station.â
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.
