Chapter 147: Regretting It So Deeply Their Guts Turned Blue

Faced with this situation, Lin Kaiyang was practically beside himself with fury.

He had expected that with Feng Sihai lending his support this time, he would easily and securely teach that person a lesson.

Now, not only did it completely fail to achieve the desired result, but it had also put him through a miserable ordeal. Right then, he could not help cursing and urging him on.

A flash of disgust crossed Feng Sihai's eyes, yet he was helpless against the demand. Gritting his teeth, he abruptly circled around behind, raised a hand like a knife, and made a motion to subdue the opponent with a single blow.

With a rushing whistle through the air, the hand-knife fell squarely onto Ye Tianlin's back neck.

Seeing this sight, Lin Kaiyang instantly burst out laughing, saying in a self-satisfied manner, "Hahaha, you didn't even try to dodge! Let's see if you can take this!"

As soon as those words left his mouth, however, Ye Tianlin acted as if nothing had happened. While gripping Lin Kaiyang's shoulder, he turned around in a leisurely and unhurried manner, saying with complete composure, "That was barely average."

"How is this possible?" The corners of Feng Sihai's eyes twitched. A normal person could simply not endure that hand-knife strike and would have collapsed unconscious on the spot. Yet this fellow in front of him showed not the slightest effect and even leisurely stretched his neck.

"Could this guy be made of iron?" Lin Kaiyang's laughter came to an abrupt halt.

Ye Tianlin smiled meaningfully. "Courtesy demands reciprocity. Now it should be my turn, right?"

"Wait, wait!" Feng Sihai swallowed hard, his whole body instantly tensing up. Drums beat wildly in his heart as he found himself completely incapable of gauging what tier of strength this actually was.

"No need to wait. My time is limited, and I don't want to waste any more of it on you," Ye Tianlin said indifferently, clenching his five fingers together into a fist as his knuckle joints popped in a rapid succession of loud cracks.

The punch that followed swept forward with the unstoppable momentum of a bamboo-splitting force, landing squarely on Feng Sihai's chest.

With a loud thud, Feng Sihai was sent flying backward like a kite with a snapped string. He crashed heavily to the ground five meters away, spat a mouthful of fresh blood, and immediately lost consciousness.

Upon seeing this spectacle, Feng Sihai's subordinates turned as pale as sheets of paper, utterly terrified.

"How could Instructor Feng possibly lose?"

"What on earth is going on here? Who is this guy?"

At this very moment, the person most shocked of all was none other than Lin Kaiyang.

Lin Kaiyang's jaw nearly dropped to the floor. He even forgot the pain in his shoulder as he stared blankly at Feng Sihai's miserable state, his mind buzzing.

To take down Feng Sihai on the spot with just a single lifted fist—this was simply unbelievable.

One had to know that Feng Sihai was the overall champion of the national regional martial arts tournament, as well as the premier instructor of the Jiangnan region. He was a prospective figure proficient in all sorts of lethal combat techniques whose future achievements were bound to be extraordinary!

Was he certain this wasn't a dream?

"Y-Y-You... don't do anything reckless! Do you know who I am?" Lin Kaiyang stuttered out of fear.

"Who you are is none of my damn business. You keep shouting about it all day long as if you're afraid someone might not know." Ye Tianlin withdrew his interest, raised a hand, and slapped Lin Kaiyang across the face, sending him crashing to the ground unconscious once more. Then he brushed off his hands and left, disappearing down the end of the corridor.

Five minutes later.

Ye Tianlin arrived at Gao Yulan's hospital ward.

The moment he pushed the door open, he saw Su Weimin sitting inside, sporting two dark circles under his eyes and looking as comical as a giant panda.

As for Gao Yulan, her injuries had improved somewhat. She was sitting up in bed peeling an apple, looking thoroughly leisurely.

The moment she saw Ye Tianlin enter, Gao Yulan immediately beckoned to him, handed the peeled apple to Ye Tianlin, and said with a beaming smile, "Good son-in-law, thanks to you these past few days, otherwise things would have been terribly inconvenient."

Su Weimin felt a burst of irrepressible anger. With a resentful expression, he said, "Gao Yulan, what do you mean by that? Am I chopped liver? I've been staying up all night guarding you here until dawn every single day, and I don't get any credit at all?"

"You don't deserve an ounce of credit, so stop trying to pat yourself on the back. If you hadn't been driving, would I have needed to be hospitalized and suffer for nothing?" Gao Yulan retorted with an unamused glare.

Su Weimin's mouth twisted in anger, and he deliberately changed the subject to snap, "I wouldn't be too happy just yet if I were you! The Old Lady's problem doesn't seem to have been resolved at all. Once the Old Lady manages to cozy up to the Capital Consortium, and if the Capital Consortium agrees to it, then we're finished—because the Capital Consortium knows very well which side has more weight!"

While eating the apple, Ye Tianlin explained, "Dad, you've been in the hospital these past few days and haven't kept up with the situation. Actually, the problem has already been resolved, and the Su Clan has successfully become an affiliate of the Capital Consortium."

"What? It's already resolved? Wait, isn't that a contradiction? How can the Su Clan becoming an affiliate be called resolving the problem? The Old Lady has been dying to deal with you immediately!" Su Weimin frowned in bewilderment.

Just as Ye Tianlin was about to offer a thorough explanation, a knock on the door suddenly sounded, forcing him to interrupt the topic.

Looking toward the direction of the door, the person knocking was none other than Elder Su!

Alongside him were Su Zhengjun, as well as Su Yixue and Su Yicai!

Su Weimin's eyes widened. "What are they doing here?"

"Could they have run over here to put on another act? I remember clearly during the Su family banquet last time, they flipped their faces faster than turning the page of a book." Gao Yulan's expression inevitably turned ugly.

Before the couple could reach a conclusion, Elder Su took the lead and pushed the door open, walking in with a beaming smile while carrying all sorts of gifts and nutritional supplements.

"Oh dear, Yulan, you've really suffered. I never expected you to get into a car accident; it gave me quite a fright!" Elder Su said.

Su Zhengjun followed right behind and chimed in, "Yulan, we just heard about your car accident and rushed over in person, hoping to make amends for our previous mistakes."

Su Yixue and Su Yicai entered last, both wearing ashen expressions and silently cursing their luck in their hearts.

Gao Yulan narrowed her eyes suspiciously. "What scheme are you trying to pull this time?"

"Everything at the previous Su family banquet was our fault. We were the ones who were mistaken. Ye Tianlin isn't just the young master of the Ye family—he is the master of the Capital Consortium!" Elder Su's bowels turned green with regret.
