Chapter 161 You are a boy worth teaching

Faced with this situation, Lin Kaiyang sank into absolute despair.

Never in his wildest dreams had he anticipated that things would culminate in such an outcome.

Having been pampered since childhood and never having suffered the slightest grievance outside, Lin Kaiyang now had to submit to discipline and be assigned to the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce. The disparity in treatment was truly like heaven and earth.

What worried him the most was that Lin Kaiyang could not even begin to imagine what kind of torment he would endure after entering the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce. Although Ye Tianlin sounded pleasant on the surface, who knew if this fellow would actually force him to eat feces?!

Another crucial point was that Zhao Qing was currently employed at the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce as well. If Zhao Qing were to find out and witness him cowering like a turtle's grandchild within the Chamber of Commerce, how could he ever show his face in public?!

At this thought, Lin Kaiyang's face instantly twisted into a bitter mask. He grew utterly dejected and had no choice but to cast a pleading look toward Lin Jingtao.

Covering his face, Lin Jingtao climbed back to his feet, yet he no longer had the courage to beg Elder Lin for leniency. He could only brace himself and say, "Ye Tianlin, there were indeed some misunderstandings earlier, and it was my failure to consider things thoroughly. Please do not take it to heart."

"As for the arrangements this time, I am willing to comply with your instructions. I only hope that you will show some mercy when disciplining him and not push things too far. After all, Kaiyang already knows he was wrong."

Ye Tianlin smiled meaningfully. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing when it comes to disciplining Lin Kaiyang. In any case, no matter what happens, I won't end up killing him. Just wait and see the final result!"

"Yes, yes, yes. From now on, my Kaiyang will trouble you to take good care of him." Lin Jingtao swallowed hard and nodded along submissively, feeling exceptionally unsettled inside—especially since Ye Tianlin's words clearly sounded far from simple.

"Wait, what do you mean by 'no matter what happens, I won't end up killing him'?" Lin Kaiyang shivered all over, suddenly sensing that Ye Tianlin's smile hid a dagger. He was so terrified that he could barely stand, panic gripping his heart.

Ye Tianlin shrugged and smiled, "Won't you find out when the time comes? It hasn't even started yet, and you're already looking forward to it? Well... truly, you have the right mindset. A piece of jade that can be carved!"

Lin Kaiyang's mouth twitched, veins bulging all over his head. He cursed inwardly hundreds of times over, yet feeling completely helpless, he could only nod timidly.

With a stern and severe expression, Elder Lin declared, "I am putting my words right here: arranging for you to go under Ye Tianlin's command is to reform you, and you must complete this task."

"Otherwise... I would rather pretend I never had a grandson like you. You had better not harbor any wishful thinking, nor should you doubt my resolve this time!"

"Furthermore, Lin Jingtao is not allowed to interfere or do a single thing to help him. To put it bluntly, even if his head gets shoved into a toilet, you are not allowed to utter a single word of objection. If you do, I will banish you from the family as well!"

Lin Jingtao shrank his neck in fright at the scolding and muttered submissively, "This time I will listen entirely to Elder Lin. Whatever arrangements you wish to make, we will follow them."

Standing nearby and witnessing the entire scene from start to finish, Feng Sihai felt an extreme sense of gratification. Even he began to look forward to seeing what kind of shape this arrogant and domineering spoiled scion would be beaten into by then.

...

That afternoon.

After the banquet concluded, since Feng Sihai still had matters to attend to and would only officially start his duties the next day, Ye Tianlin drove alone to the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce to pick up Su Rulan from work.

The phone call he had received midway through the banquet had been placed by Su Rulan.

The reason was that Su Rulan had somehow learned about Lin Jingtao and his son running over to the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce, which was why she had specifically called to ask about the situation.

Sure enough, as soon as Su Rulan got into the car, she asked for the outcome.

Without concealing anything, Ye Tianlin decisively recounted the entire sequence of events from beginning to end.

Upon learning what had transpired, Su Rulan clapped her hands in applause and said with unconcealed delight, "A spoiled brat like that deserves a thorough thrashing; he completely brought it on himself. Zhao Qing almost got taken advantage of by him before; if someone hadn't stepped in, something terrible probably would have happened!"

"Zhao Qing?" Ye Tianlin raised his eyebrows in surprise, instantly recalling the woman he had seen pressed against a car door crying out for help when he first encountered Lin Kaiyang.

"Lin Kaiyang has been pursuing Zhao Qing for a long time, but the guy is a complete hooligan, and Zhao Qing has been driven to distraction by him. Fortunately, she's away on a business trip right now. When she gets back, I must share this wonderful news with her in person!" Su Rulan said, feeling immensely vindicated.

"I see. Then let's head home first!" Ye Tianlin smiled thoughtfully, finally gaining a full understanding of the matter, and then drove away from the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce.

By the time they returned to the Clear Water Bay villa, dusk had already fallen.

As soon as they stepped through the door, they saw Su Weimin and Gao Yulan sitting on the sofa with bitter, distressed expressions.

"Mom, why did you sneak out of the hospital?" Su Rulan asked, stunned.

Su Weimin raised a finger, pointed straight at Ye Tianlin, and cursed furiously, "It's all because of this good-for-nothing scoundrel! He provoked a major figure and even beat the man up!"
