C18 The Consequence of Offending Me

Zhouyang, suprised for a moment, looked up at the person yelling at him.

The one speaking so arrogantly was a man who was dressed unrestrainedly, with his chest opened wide to reveal his masculine chest.

Beside him were two women wearing heavy makeup, nestling against him.

These two women were extremely charming with their every action. However, their gazes towards Zhouyang were similar to the man's stare, filled with deep disdain.

"There seems to be no one here, right? Also, your mouth really stinks!"

Zhouyang naturally wouldn't give up his spot just because of a single sentence from someone else, and he definitely would not stand still when being ridiculed by such a rude person.

It is true that no one was here before Zhouyang came. Even if there were others sitting here, if they were to give in to him just because he uttered a few words, they would nevertheless be looked down upon by the others in the hall.

Since the arrogant man was not afraid of talking aloud nor did he try to hide his voice, everyone in the Dragon Soaring Hall had taken notice of the situation.

"Tsk, tsk, it seems that there is going to be a good show there. I never thought that this kid would actually offend him!"

"Yeah, even his sister can't suppress him, let alone an employee."

"..."

Everyone started to discuss while looking at Zhouyang with their mocking gazes for their own amusement.

Zhouyang's expression remained indifferent even though he heard the voices of the people around him.

Deducing the words from the others, he figured that this man, who is obviously in the wrong, was probably not a person easy to get along with, much less a person to reason with.

However, he was not worried. He was no longer the flippant son-in-law that he used to be. He now had enough power to resist such injustice.

"I said that there's now someone here, so there's someone here. What's the matter? Are you deaf?

When the man saw that Zhouyang did not have any intention of leaving, a hint of anger appeared on his face. His originally slightly squinting eyes immediately became round as it opened wide in rage.

Zhouyang didn't say anything. He just looked at the other party and sat on the spot calmly.

"Zhouyang, what are you doing?"

At this moment, an astonished voice sounded from the side.

Zhouyang looked over and saw Xie Lingyu staring at him in surprise with a trace of anxiousness on her face.

"What's wrong?"

Zhouyang said softly.

Xie Lingyu walked to Zhouyang's side and whispered, "Zhouyang, hurry up and get away from the seat. Do you know who this person is?"

What Xie Lingyu said also surprised Zhouyang.

Xie Lingyu had never been willing to lower her head to anyone, so why would she say that now?

Could it be that this man's identity was just that extraordinary that even Xie Lingyu did not dare to provoke him?

"Haha, beauty, just tell this brat who I am. I'm really looking forward to his terrified look."

When the man saw Xie Lingyu, his eyes lit up and burst out laughing.

Xie Lingyu's face darkened in disgust as she pulled Zhouyang and prepared to leave.

"Wait, did I say I would let you go?"

The man suddenly stretched out his hand to stop the two of them.

"That's right, to even dare to offend Young Master Shen, I think you are looking to get fired."

"Looking at his appearance, he should be an employee of the Fame company, yet he actually doesn't even know who Young Master Shen was. How can such a person stay in the Fame Company?"

On the other hand, the two girls beside the man mocked in a strange tone. Their gazes lingered on Xie Lingyu's face for a moment as a trace of envy and fear flashed across their eyes.

The moment Young Master Shen noticed Xie Lingyu, the two women beside him felt a slight movement in him, immediately indicating that he was interested in her.

Being such a powerful financial backer, who would be willing to share him with yet another woman?

"Young Master Shen?"

Zhouyang lifted his head and frowned slightly. Having not heard of Young Master Shen before, he simply thought that the man before him was just related to Fame Company in some way judging from his and the other's tone.

"He's the younger brother of your CEO Shen Bijun, Shen Ze."

Xie Lingyu sighed softly as she spoke in a deep voice.

"Humph! For this beauty to recognize me, she must have pretty good eyes. Just by looking at her, I've almost gone blind."

Shenze glanced at Xie Lingyu and continued, "Beauty, I wonder what your name is. Let's get to know each other."

With that, Shenze reached out to grab Xie Lingyu by her hand.

"You dare to touch her with that filthy hand of yours?!"

At this moment, Zhouyang made his move. He grabbed Shenze by his wrist and twisted it upwards, preventing him from touching Xie Lingyu.

Although there was a misunderstanding between Zhouyang and Xie Lingyu, that did not mean that Zhouyang was willing to overlook nor tolerate anyone who dared to show any malicious desires for Xie Lingyu.

"Aghhh! That hurts, you bastard! Let go of me this instant!"

The strength of Zhouyang's hand was certainly not weak. At that instant, Shen Ze could feel an overwhelming pain that he could not endure.

Shen Ze, who had been pampered ever since he was born, had never experienced such pain before. Consequently, he immediately shouted at Zhouyang in anger.

"Brat, let go of me now. If you offend me, Young Master Shen, don't even think about walking out of the Jade Lake House!"

"That's right, let Young Master Shen go quickly!"

The two women's faces also changed drastically as they shouted in anger.

"Zhouyang, let go of him quickly!"

Xie Lingyu hurriedly tried to persuade him, her face full of worry for what might happen to him after.

"Good! Tell this dumb dog to let go of me this instant!"

"Fine," Zhouyang replied softly and immediately released his hand. However, in that instant, he pushed Shen Ze away with his palms, causing him to stagger back a few steps before eventually coming to a stop.

"Bastard! I want you dead!"

After being taught a lesson by Zhouyang in front of so many people, how could Shen Ze be willing to accept it?

"Bodyguard! You better teach him a good lesson!"

Shen Ze was a young master of a rich family and would always bring a few bodyguards with him wherever he went. The moment the guards heard Shenze's orders, they immediately surrounded Zhouyang.

The leading bodyguard sneered at Zhouyang in disdain: "Brat, who do you think you are to dare to provoke Young Master Shen. I advise you to immediately kneel down and apologize to Young Master Shen. Otherwise, don't blame us for anything that happens to you afterward!"

The rest of the bodyguards cracked their knuckles in response, laughed fiendishly as they walked over.

"You want me to apologize? Is he even worthy of it? "

Zhouyang didn't say anything unnecessary and directly pulled Xie Lingyu behind him to prevent her from being affected.

As for himself, he rushed forward, his fists aiming straight for the face of the first bodyguard.

At first, Shen Ze only desired after Xie Lingyu. But now, he began speaking in a ruthless tone and even got his bodyguard to deal with Zhouyang. Ever since Shen Ze tried to covet Lingyu, Zhouyang had already been holding back his anger.

Although Zhouyang didn't know how any martial arts, his harsh years of living as a son-in-law of the Xie Family and putting in all kinds of effort had improved his physique by a lot. Thus, his muscles were much stronger than those of an average person!

At this moment, Zhouyang directed all the strength in his body and concentrated it into one fist. From the spectator's point of view, he emitted a sharp aura that seemed to be extraordinary.

*Bam*

With just a single punch, Zhouyang caught the first bodyguard off his guard and caused him to lose his balance. Only after retreating a few steps back did he finally regain his sense of balance.

The bodyguard did not expect Zhouyang to act so swiftly. A moment of carelessness led to him getting hit by Zhouyang. Then, the bodyguard proceeded to angrily exclaim: "Brat, you dare act so ruthlessly! Brothers, don't show him any mercy!"

When the rest of the bodyguards saw this, they were shocked. However, with the arrow already charged to its fullest on the bow, they had no choice but to shoot it.

Though Zhouyang could most likely take on all of them in a one-on-one fight, he could not muster up the strength to go against five other bodyguards at once.

"Stop!"

At that crucial moment, an authoritative voice shocked through the hall:

When the bodyguards heard this voice, their bodies froze and their movements slowed down.

"Brat, you certainly do have guts! You must be an employee of Fame company. From today onwards, you have been fired from the company as a result of offending me."
