When Liang Lei returned to the private room, he found that Hu Wei was still actively and enthusiastically engaging Lin Mo in both attitude and behavior.
Liang Lei was instantly infuriated! He glared at Lin Mo and fiercely slapped the table:
"Lin Mo, don't think too highly of yourself. I paid for this reunion, and now as the host, I demand that you switch seats with me!"
Lin Mo slightly raised his eyes and casually glanced at Liang Lei, "What if I refuse?"
"Heh! Don't reject a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Since you don't appreciate the face I'm giving you, don't blame me for not considering our past as classmates!" Liang Lei stared at Lin Mo, huffing coldly.
"It looks like you're preparing to have someone teach me a lesson?" Lin Mo said with a playful smile in his eyes.
"You're pretty smart. That's right, I'm going to have someone teach you a lesson. I've warned you to stay away from Hu Wei, and since you won't listen, I'll have to use my fists to teach you manners."
Liang Lei then took out his phone, dialed a number, and after hanging up, he glared harshly at Lin Mo:
"Kid, I'm giving you one last chance. If you switch seats with me now and apologize, I'll consider nothing happened today, and we can still be classmates in the future."
Many classmates thought Lin Mo, if sensible, should just do it.
However, to everyone's surprise, Lin Mo scoffed and said lightly:
"Go ahead and call, but remember, you only get one chance. You'd better call the toughest and the most formidable person you know."
Finished speaking, Lin Mo continued to eat his meal unperturbed.
Seeing this, the classmates were dumbfounded. Even now, how could Lin Mo remain so calm?
Wu Qiao looked at Lin Mo with disdain and snorted, "Kid, you better admit your mistake quickly. If it's any later, Master Lei's guys will beat you half to death, and it wouldn't be worth it."
Seeing Lin Mo's expression remain calm as ever, Liang Lei's eyes turned completely dark:
"Kid, just you wait!"
After saying this, Liang Lei turned and left the private room, seemingly to greet the tough character he had called to teach Lin Mo a lesson.
Soon enough, Liang Lei returned, but this time he brought with him a group of forty to fifty people.
These forty to fifty people had a fierce demeanor; it was clear they were tough figures used to living on the knife-edge.
The leader was a man with a big gold chain, a buzz cut, and a cigar in his mouth, exuding a gang boss air.
Seeing Lin Mo still calmly eating and drinking, Liang Lei let out a cold laugh:
"Keep pretending, kid! If today doesn't end badly for you, I'll take your name!"
Following Liang Lei's gaze, the man asked Liang Lei, "Is he the one you want me to teach a lesson?"
"Yes, Mr. Nan, this kid is too arrogant. Make sure you hit him hard!"
The man nodded and then approached Lin Mo step by step, his forty to fifty underlings trailing behind him.
Almost all the girls and boys present thought Lin Mo was done for!
These were clearly tough characters from the underworld, especially the man in the lead; he exuded an aura of someone who wouldn't blink at taking a life.
As the man got closer to Lin Mo, he felt like he had seen him somewhere before but couldn't quite remember.
The next second, Lin Mo slightly lifted his head, a faint smile playing at his lips: "Yu Haonan, are you here to stand up for him?"
Boom!
Upon seeing Lin Mo's face, Yu Haonan was as if struck by a colossal truck, falling abruptly onto the floor, his face revealing unmistakable expressions of shock and horror.
Seeing this, Liang Lei was completely baffled, "Mr. Nan, what... What's wrong?"
Smack!
Yu Haonan struck Liang Lei harshly across the face: "How the hell could you!"
Liang Lei was completely stunned, as were all the people present.
The next second, something even more shocking happened.
Bang!
Yu Haonan knelt before the calm young man as if he were facing a deity from the Nine Heavens, his voice filled with utmost reverence:
"Mr. Lin, are you here?"
Instantly, the whole atmosphere turned deathly silent, and everyone was wide-eyed as if time itself had frozen.
Everyone was stunned. The underworld big shot was kneeling to Lin Mo? What esteemed status did Lin Mo hold?
Fear and astonishment filled everyone's hearts, but Lin Mo simply smiled lightly:
"Yu Haonan, it seems the warning I gave you today wasn't enough?"
"No, Mr. Lin... I..."
Yu Haonan nearly choked on his fright, quickly trying to explain, and then he turned and glared fiercely at Liang Lei.
Even if he was foolish, Yu Haonan now understood that Lin Mo was not someone he could afford to provoke.
Even with a hundred lives, he wouldn't dare.
His legs were trembling to the extreme, and he knelt before Lin Mo, weeping and begging:
"Mr. Lin, please spare my life! I was blind not to recognize Taishan, please forgive this slight, just this once!"
Everyone was shocked; Liang Lei, previously so mighty, now cowered like a dog in front of Lin Mo?
Lin Mo glanced at Liang Lei with an icy face.
"I just told you, didn't I? If you provoke me again, I'll break your limbs. When have I, Lin Mo, ever gone back on my word?"
Hearing this, Yu Haonan immediately understood and shouted at his men:
"What are you staring at? Didn't you hear what Mr. Lin said?"
Soon, four or five burly men were forcibly dragging Liang Lei outside.
Liang Lei's face turned pale with sheer terror, "Mr. Lin, please spare my life... Spare me!!"
If he could choose again, he would never provoke Lin Mo like a fool, but alas, there were no ifs.
As for Wu Qiao, she was already scared out of her wits. If even Liang Lei couldn't stand up to Lin Mo, let alone her, Wu Qiao.
In the next second, without any hesitation, she knelt in front of Lin Mo, begging for mercy to the extreme:
"I am sorry, Mr. Lin... I underestimated you before. Could you... could you let me off just this once?"
Lin Mo looked at her indifferently, without a shred of pity, and said coldly:
"Your mouth stinks."
Upon hearing this, Yu Haonan's face turned icy cold, and this time, he took matters into his own hands.
Slap! Slap! Slap!
In the blink of an eye, Wu Qiao's mouth was splattered with fresh blood, looking extremely pitiful.
However, no one present felt a hint of sympathy for Wu Qiao.
As for Hu Wei, although she found the current mode of punishment somewhat cold, she didn't say much.
After all, Wu Qiao had said too many unpleasant and mocking words to Lin Mo.
In such a circumstance, it was not good for her to intercede.
That might make Lin Mo dislike her even more.
"Mr. Lin, are you satisfied now?"
After doing all that, Yu Haonan once again knelt before Lin Mo, deeply afraid that Lin Mo would annihilate him with the morning's transcendent methods if he were displeased.
Lin Mo nodded slightly, his tone indifferent:
"Get out, and remember not to bother me again next time for no good reason."
"Yes, yes, yes... Mr. Lin, you go ahead with your business, we'll take our leave now."
Yu Haonan got up with a flattering smile, bowed to Lin Mo, and led his men towards the exit.
Most of those present did not dare to look directly at Lin Mo. Their eyes no longer held any mockery but only reverence.
As for Wu Yifan, Zhuang Zhou, and the fatty, they admired Lin Mo even more. A single word from him could make Yu Haonan, a big shot who called the shots in the entire university town, so afraid. It was truly awesome.
After leaving the hotel, those classmates went back to their respective dormitories.
As for Wu Yifan, Zhuang Zhou, and the fatty, they followed Lin Mo.
Lin Mo had originally planned to ask Xia Mengdie to join him for a stroll by the Jiangshui River when suddenly, he found these three pesky tagalongs trailing behind him.
"Boss, you're so awesome!"
"The presence you had just now is like an idol to us!"
"Boss, when will you have the chance to teach us some martial arts?"
Wu Yifan, Zhuang Zhou, and the fatty surrounded Lin Mo, looking up to him with admiration.
Just then, at the central square ahead, a large crowd had gathered.
As Lin Mo and the others passed by, they saw to their surprise a huge, glaring billboard appearing in the central square.
It read: Muay Thai King challenges all Huaxia Martial Arts Masters! Undefeated! Welcome to fight anytime!
"What the hell is this? This is too arrogant!"
"Yeah, this Muay Thai dog is so presumptuous in our Huaxia."
Wu Yifan, Zhuang Zhou, and the fatty were instantly enraged.
Then, Wu Yifan turned to Lin Mo, his expression excited:
"Boss, since you're so powerful, why not teach this arrogant Thai guy a lesson?"
Lin Mo tucked one hand into his pocket, lit a cigarette, and said casually:
"It's alright, let's just watch for now."
Only then did Wu Yifan, Zhuang Zhou, and the fatty notice that a man in a grey robe, with the air of a Huaxia Martial Arts Master, was walking towards the ring.
Then the middle-aged man delivered a punch to the Muay Thai King on the stage and said with a cold expression:
"I am Hong Gang, and I've come to seek guidance from you!"
"I want to see whether our Huaxia martial arts are superior, or if your Muay Thai has the upper hand!"
The moment he finished speaking, everyone felt an overwhelming aura, exuding an unstoppable power.
Clearly, this middle-aged man was no ordinary figure.
