Lu Xuanxuan's pretty face immediately turned pale, her limbs icy cold, and she felt the room spinning around her, a bit of melancholy taking root in her heart. After all, she was just a woman, and to these wealthy people, women were nothing more than resources and toys.
Why would Yi Bo offend the Li Family for her?
"I'm sorry, but I'm not available tonight," Lu Xuanxuan hesitated for a moment before ultimately choosing to reject.
After all, for a woman like her, if she compromised once, her future would be even more miserable. Not to mention Yi Bo wouldn't actually marry her, but she could also become a tool for the company to satisfy other clients in the future.
Yi Tianhuai frowned upon hearing her words: "Miss Lu, Bai Shu simply wants to have a drink with you, you are not a newbie, you don't need me to teach you the ways of socializing. If you don't want to, I can make sure you don't continue in the entertainment industry with just one word. Believe me, I have the power to do that."
"Xuanxuan, it's just a drink with young master Bai Shu, it's no big deal," Yi Bo 'kindly' comforted.
At that moment, Coco, who had been sitting on the side, couldn't hold back anymore and stood up, "Xuanxuan says she's not available. Are you still going to threaten her?"
"This isn't a threat, just a reminder. When you're in this circle, you need to understand the rules. There's no need to act like some pure Holy Daughter, that will only make it impossible for you to get anywhere in this circle," Yi Tianhuai coldly laughed, as if he had everything under control.
Yi Tianhuai had seen many women like Lu Xuanxuan, initially all acting like virtuous women who would rather die than yield, but in the end, they couldn't resist the temptation of fame and fortune and would willingly degrade themselves.
"Mr. Yi, it seems this beautiful lady isn't giving me face?" Li Baizhu understood Huaxia language, and couldn't help showing a hint of anger on his face.
Yi Tianhuai smiled and said, "Don't worry young master Bai Shu, she will definitely accompany you tonight."
"That's good." Li Baizhu then slightly relaxed the angry expression on his face.
The conversation among these few people treated Lu Xuanxuan as if she were a good being traded, infuriating both Lu Xuanxuan and Coco.
Yingzi, her face showing anger, was about to say something when a faint voice suddenly interrupted:
"How does it feel to be Han Country's dogs?"
At this statement, everyone's face changed, and their eyes turned towards the young man who had been sitting in a corner, silent. Perhaps had he remained silent, almost nobody would have noticed him.
Yi Tianhuai, Yi Bo, and Huang Jian all showed anger on their faces, clearly offended by the statement.
"Who is this guy?" Yi Tianhuai frowned, suspicious.
"He's a friend of Lu Xuanxuan and her group. I kindly let them in," said Yi Bo.
"What riffraff, daring to speak here. Do you know what kind of occasion this is?" Yi Tianhuai shouted angrily, thinking that someone who hadn't received an invitation from the Li family and dressed so plainly couldn't possibly be from a distinguished family.
Lu Xuanxuan's eyes suddenly grew hot and teary, turning red as she looked at Lin Mo, her gaze filled with complex emotions.
She hadn't expected that, in a foreign land, only Lin Mo would stand up to speak for her.
However, both the Li Family and Yi Tianhuai were no ordinary people, possessing significant power and influence; for them, crippling or even killing someone was childishly simple. Lu Xuanxuan didn't want Lin Mo to get involved and subsequently face retaliation from Yi Tianhuai and others.
"Coco, let's just go, I can always go back to being a model," Lu Xuanxuan finally said.
Knowing the power of Yi Tianhuai and the Li Family and fearing a big conflict, Coco quickly grabbed Yingzi, "Sister Yingzi, let's go."
"My business here isn't finished yet, so if you want to leave, go ahead," Lin Mo said indifferently.
Having said that, Lin Mo stood up, a chill flashing in his eyes.
Lu Xuanxuan and Coco stood by, looking at Lin Mo with some suspicion. What business did he still have with the Li Family?
"Where is Li Yanzhen? Tell him to come out and face his death," Lin Mo said coldly, looking at Li Baizhu.
Yi Tianhuai, Yi Bo, and Huang Jian, hearing Lin Mo's words, were completely confused. They only knew a few people from the Li Family, but had no idea who Li Yanzhen was.
Li Baizhu, however, understood Lin Mo's words. His pupils contracted slightly as if he had thought of something.
"Young man, do you know what kind of occasion this is? Making a scene here—do you have a death wish?" Huang Jian suddenly stood up, glaring at Lin Mo with gritted teeth.
But no sooner had he spoken than Lin Mo backhanded him a slap, sending Huang Jian flying backward, his face caving in completely as he collapsed unconscious on the ground.
Yi Tianhuai and Yi Bo stood dumbfounded, not expecting Lin Mo to be so strong.
"Where are the guards? There's trouble here," Yi Tianhuai yelled.
The banquet had gathered almost all the celebrities of Seoul, and naturally, no chances were taken with security. The bodyguards and martial artists tasked with overall security numbered around five or six hundred, almost more than the guests.
As soon as Yi Tianhuai called out, several martial artists strode over.
"Mr. Yi, my friend didn't mean to cause trouble. Let's just forget this, I'll take him away now," Lu Xuanxuan said with an anxious expression.
Coco also showed a nervous look, gripping Yingzi's hand tightly.
Yingzi, on the other hand, showed a slight smile, patted Coco's hand, and winked playfully, "Don't worry, Coco. My master is very capable."
"How is being capable useful? There are so many of them, and this is the Li family's turf. If we really stir up trouble, it will be bad," Coco said, her face filled with anxiety and nervousness.
Lu Xuanxuan also frowned deeply, thinking that Yingzi meant capable only in fighting, but facing so many people, even if they had guns, what use would that be?
Yi Tianhuai and Yi Bo saw the martial artists approaching, their faces suddenly showing arrogance. Even if Lin Mo was skilled in martial arts, this was the Li family's turf, and there were so many guards.
Yi Tianhuai pointed at Lin Mo and coldly ordered, "This man is making a scene at the banquet, arrest him quickly."
The martial artists frowned slightly, glanced at Huang Jian lying on the ground, then walked towards Lin Mo.
"Let Li Yanzhen come out."
Lin Mo's fingers came together, sweeping across from his chest, a fierce Gang Wind swept through.
Before the martial artists could react, they were instantly sliced at the waist by the Gang Wind, their viscera and blood spilling everywhere. The stench of blood spread quickly.
Yi Tianhuai, Yi Bo, Coco, Lu Xuanxuan, and all the people around them fell silent.
Lu Xuanxuan and Coco, in particular, were so frightened that they covered their mouths with both hands, tears swirling in their eyes, while Yi Tianhuai and Yi Bo felt an icy chill, their faces pale as paper.
"He... he's here," Li Baizhu finally stammered after a long pause. However, as he spoke, Lin Mo's fingers condensed Gang Qi, flicked at Li Baizhu's forehead, leaving a bloody hole, then he fell backward on the ground, his eyes vacant as he looked up at the night sky.
