"You dare hit me?"
Su Tongchuan, clutching his head, widened his eyes in disbelief. He never expected Yu Zhou to strike him at this moment, and so mercilessly.
"Doesn't he know that members of the Su family aren't to be touched casually?"
"Is he tired of living?"
Su Tongchuan couldn't imagine the kind of punishment Yu Zhou would face if this incident spread. The entire Su family would likely hunt him down.
"You're finished, you're dead. You dared to hit me, I'll make you wish you were never born, wish you could die!"
His screams turned shrill as Su Tongchuan became extremely agitated. In all his years, he had never suffered such a humiliation.
Regardless of his background or abilities, in Su Tongchuan's eyes, Yu Zhou was doomed.
"What are you standing around for? Help! Beat him to death, avenge Young Master Su!"
Many of the second-generation heirs began rolling up their sleeves, ready to fight. Their dignity was not to be tarnished.
Even though they knew Yu Zhou was finished, these arrogant heirs wouldn't tolerate this insult.
"Stop! Anyone who dares to step forward, I guarantee none of you will leave this ballroom today!"
At that very moment, a woman's voice rang out.
The newcomer was none other than Song Qing, who had previously declared her unwavering support for Yu Zhou. Her anger was no less than Yu Zhou's.
She had tried to mediate, but the situation had escalated to this point.
If Yu Zhou hadn't rescued her with all his might, she couldn't imagine what would have happened to Jiang Jie, the friend he trusted.
Even among family disciples, there were boundaries. Without them, one would be abandoned by their clan.
This incident wasn't just about Su Tongchuan; it was the Su family directly disrespecting the Song family. Perhaps the Su family didn't even realize the gravity of the situation.
"Song! Song Qing?"
Su Tongchuan, still clutching his head, froze. He never expected Yu Zhou to come alone, but to be accompanied by the eldest daughter of the Song family, the general manager of Tailong Light Industry?
If the Su family was considered a decent local power among Jiangbei's established families, then the Song family was an absolute behemoth in the entire Jiangbei region.
Putting aside himself, a fringe direct descendant of the Su family, even his older cousins, the heirs of the Su family, would have to bow their heads and be subservient to Song Qing. Their status was incomparable.
Why was she here? And why did it seem like she was on Yu Zhou's side? It shouldn't be. Song Qing was also a member of a Jiangbei family. Why would she help an outsider, turning her back on her own kin?
Even now, Su Tongchuan hadn't realized the enormity of his mistake. In his mind, dealing with such a minor figure, or a new influential person, was inconsequential; someone would always bail him out.
Even though his family had strictly warned him not to provoke Yu Zhou, he believed the Su family could still handle it if he did.
Yu Zhou had already compromised once because he was from the Su family. Now that he had hostages, wouldn't he compromise again?
Even at this moment, he didn't believe Yu Zhou had the ability to truly punish him.
However, Yu Zhou's next action completely defied everyone's expectations.
Yu Zhou, unconcerned by Song Qing's arrival, directly picked up a large metal rod.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, he smashed it down onto Su Tongchuan's leg.
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
Screams echoed, yet no one in the vicinity stepped forward to intervene.
Even the security guards at the ballroom exchanged bewildered glances. The owner of the ballroom had arrived, but no one dared to step in.
This was a young master of the Su family, being beaten so severely in their establishment, yet they remained passive. Was this reasonable? No.
But this time, despite knowing it was unreasonable, they felt no urge to act. Not only had Song Qing spoken, but more importantly, powerful figures from Jiangbei had also made their stance clear. This time, they would allow Yu Zhou to act freely, and even if Yu Zhou killed Su Tongchuan with his own hands in the ballroom, no one was to interfere.
Yu Zhou was truly enraged this time. If he didn't release the pent-up anger, he wouldn't be able to accomplish anything in the future.
Moreover, it wasn't just Song Qing standing behind Yu Zhou. Qin Siyue, whose background was exceptionally strong, had also mobilized all her connections, aiming to crush the Su family in one fell swoop.
"This? This Yu Zhou?"
A few of the second-generation heirs couldn't fathom that Yu Zhou, whom they looked down upon and who seemingly lacked background, would dare to do such a thing.
Yet, the fantastical had become reality. The entire ballroom, filled with so many people, watched as Yu Zhou broke Su Tongchuan's leg.
Something no one could have imagined was happening right before everyone's eyes.
"I! Arrogant!"
"I'll fucking kill you!"
"Yu... Yu Zhou! If you... if you dare to lay another hand on me, I guarantee your wife will die without a doubt..."
In desperation, Su Tongchuan finally revealed that he had kidnapped Jiang Jie.
However, no one seemed surprised this time. If not for such a violent confrontation, why would Yu Zhou have attacked him so recklessly in the ballroom, with no one daring to stop him?
Even the eldest daughter of the Song family seemed to ignore it, even supporting it?
"Someone asked me to spare your life, and I agreed. Otherwise, you wouldn't be leaving this ballroom today."
"Guess what? For what you've done, if I took your life in this ballroom today, would I be arrested and sentenced?"
A hint of mockery played on Yu Zhou's lips. He had expected these second-generation heirs to be full of a sense of superiority, but he hadn't anticipated them to be so foolish.
If you act first, don't blame me for acting last.
Even if he severely injured the other party, leaving him unable to walk for the rest of his life, Yu Zhou wouldn't bear any responsibility.
If he didn't vent this anger, he couldn't imagine how stifled he would feel in the future.
"Since Boss Yu has vented his anger, may I take him away now?"
Finally, as a familiar voice emerged from the entrance of the ballroom, all attention shifted to the doorway.
Su Muyun? It's the eldest daughter of the Su family, Su Muyun?
What did she mean by that? Was she not going to pursue the matter?
