Aware of her own embarrassment, Luo Sulan said no more. Just then, Qin Mo returned from school, so she quickly changed the subject. "Xiaomo is finally back! Let's eat, let's eat!"

Chen Yang found it highly amusing. The woman had been so bent on making things difficult for him, and now she had finally tripped herself up in a major way.

During the meal, Qin Qiu couldn't help but ask, "Chen Yang, how did you resolve it? Didn't Zheng Xiaoman say her parts supplier cut off her supply?"

"Yes, it was Mr. Huang from Hongli Group," Chen Yang said nonchalantly, pushing a mouthful of rice into his mouth.

Qin Qiu was astonished. "I know this Mr. Huang. He's a well-known entrepreneur in Lingjin City, no small player! Did you go to him?"

"Of course I had to. If he didn't restore the parts supply, how could we get our goods from Huarui Group?"

"But..."

Chen Yang knew what she was about to say and waved his hand. "I beat him up."

Qin Qiu: "..."

Qin Song: "..."

He... he actually beat up Mr. Huang of Hongli Machinery? This guy, does he have to be so violent?!

Facing their stunned gazes, Chen Yang added while picking up some food, "The guy's a coward. As soon as I made a move, he started groveling and begging for mercy."

Qin Qiu: "..."

Qin Song: "..."

The muscles on Qin Qiu's face twitched as she said gravely, "Chen Yang, how could you resort to violence? With Mr. Huang's influence, he will surely seek revenge!"

"He wouldn't dare."

Qin Qiu: "..."

Qin Song immediately laughed. "So you just used brute force? I was wondering what kind of solution you came up with."

"Chen Yang, I've warned you not to be so impulsive and reckless. Why won't you listen?" Qin Qiu lost her appetite, the joy in her heart gradually fading and replaced by a wave of worry. Why is this guy always so impulsive?

"You have to use the right methods for the right people," Chen Yang said unconcernedly. "That guy cut off the supply just to force Zheng Xiaoman to be with him. Do you think you can reason with trash like that?"

With that, he glanced at Qin Song. "Or are you saying you have a better, more perfect solution?"

Qin Song averted his gaze and fell silent.

Qin Qiu paused, also saying nothing more. As a woman who had fought her own battles in the business world, she knew all too well that scum like that truly existed. In fact, she had encountered them before, like Su Ding. There was simply no reasoning with such rotten people.

Still, she was a bit worried. After all, that was Mr. Huang from Hongli Machinery. What if he decided to retaliate?

Chen Yang had guessed she would worry, which was why he hadn't mentioned the matter with Wang Han. Otherwise, Qin Qiu's face would have turned pale with fright.

"Troublemaker! I'd like to see how you'll clean up this mess," Luo Sulan sneered coldly.

Chen Yang ignored her and reassured Qin Qiu, "Honey, you don't need to worry. I've already beaten the nerve out of him. He wouldn't dare take revenge."

"Chen Yang, you are not to do this again!" Qin Qiu warned solemnly.

"Alright."

After dinner, Qin Mo found Chen Yang alone and said indifferently, "Li Fan's brother will be waiting for you at the university tomorrow. I don't care what method you use, but you must resolve this matter."

Without waiting for a response, she turned and left.

Chen Yang touched his nose, speechless. This little girl... why does she still have such a big issue with me? Have the few times I saved her not counted for anything?

Strolling through the neighborhood, the piercing cold wind had little effect on him. He had been wondering if he should take some time to visit Martial Guard. Considering the old man's age and his solitary life, coupled with Chen Yang's own longing to see him, he found it hard to hold back. However, the thought of the old man's explosive temper and his dislike of being disturbed gave Chen Yang pause. If we disagreed, a storm of slaps would follow. Who could withstand that?

Chen Yang shook his head helplessly but finally made up his mind to visit in the next couple of days. He would buy two bottles of good liquor, a roast duck, and two pounds of braised meat, and they would have a few drinks together.

Just thinking about it made the corners of his mouth turn up. Even if he got slapped a few times, it would be worth it.

「The next day.」

The company was busy with too many matters to attend to, so Qin Qiu left for work early. Qin Mo didn't go with Chen Yang, but she gave him a deep, warning glance before she left.

Chen Yang could only smile wryly as he drove to Lingjin University.

「At the entrance of Lingjin University.」

Just as Qin Mo arrived, a young man of average build in his mid-twenties blocked her path. It was none other than Li Fan's older brother, Li Qiang. He questioned her, "Your brother-in-law is coming today, right?"

"I've told you, he's not my brother-in-law!" Qin Mo said with a cold, stern face. "He's already on his way."

"You'd better not be lying to me, or I'll make your life a living hell," Li Qiang threatened.

"Move aside!"

Qin Mo pushed past him and entered the university grounds.

Li Qiang, however, remained standing quietly in the middle of the road at the school entrance, his hands clasped behind his back as he stared down the road. His pose was undeniably domineering, drawing the attention of countless passing students.

"He's Li Fan's older brother, Li Qiang! He's here to help Li Fan get his dignity back!"

"Li Fan was completely humiliated at that party. He conceded without a fight! Tsk, tsk. Who would've thought the president of the Martial Arts Society was such a huge coward!"

"This is going to be good!"

Groups of students gathered, buzzing with discussion. After the banquet, Chen Yang had become a campus celebrity. Now that his opponent was from the Feiyang Martial Arts School, a titanic battle seemed inevitable.

The reason Li Qiang was being so high-profile was to promote the Feiyang Martial Arts School and attract more students. This was the exact same strategy Li Fan used when he established the Martial Arts Society at the university—all to collect more registration fees.

Li Fan stood nearby, dismissing Su Ziyan's attempts to dissuade him. "Ziyan, this has nothing to do with you anymore, so stay out of it! If I don't skin him alive today, my surname isn't Li!"

That night at the banquet, Chen Yang had utterly humiliated him in front of the entire school, making him too embarrassed to even show his face for the past few days. How could he not get revenge for that?

Su Ziyan said speechlessly, "I told you, he's someone you can't afford to provoke."

"Ha!" Li Fan scoffed coldly. "Su Ziyan, are you looking down on my Feiyang Martial Arts School that much? Just you wait. See how my older brother skins him!"

Su Ziyan chuckled, then took two steps back and stood to the side without another word. She had offered the advice out of good intentions. Since he refused to listen, she could only let him be.

Before long, Chen Yang arrived.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Chen Yang walked up to the imposing Li Qiang, who stood in the middle of the road. "You are not my match," Chen Yang said indifferently. "Let's end this here."

"If you're admitting defeat, then kneel before me!" Li Qiang demanded arrogantly.
