535: Chapter 535: Apologize on Stage!

Zhou Yu looked up to see two people bursting in with fury.

Both possessed an extraordinary aura, each at the Innate Realm.

Upon seeing the leader, He Lun, who had been in despair, immediately showed a look of surprise and joy.

“Dad, Dad, you finally came.”

“Quick, save me.”

The man was none other than He Tianhua.

Seeing his son beaten to such a state, He Tianhua became instantly enraged.

“You must be Zhou Yu.”

“Let go of my son.

If you dare to make him apologize onstage, my He Family of Haizhou will never let you off.”

Wei Wuya had not expected He Tianhua to come personally, and so quickly at that.

He said coldly:

“He Tianhua, this is Qin State, what are you trying to do?”

It was then that He Tianhua noticed Wei Wuya.

His eyes twitched slightly, and then he suppressed his rage.

“Minister Wei!”

He Tianhua naturally recognized this minister from the Qin State Martial Hall.

He had originally thought that his son had only offended Zhou Yu.

He hadn’t expected Wei Wuya himself to come here.

His complexion turned somewhat ugly.

If the Qin State Martial Hall got involved, it would complicate matters.

At that moment, Zhou Yu suddenly spoke.

“So you’re his old man.”

“The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree; with a father like you, it’s no wonder this kid had the audacity to do what he did.”

“What did you say?” He Tianhua flew into a rage again.

Zhou Yu grabbed He Lun by the hair, yanking his head up.

“I said, since no one brought him up properly, I’ll discipline him for you.”

“Dad, Dad…

save me…”

Slap!

Zhou Yu slapped He Lun across the face.

With that slap, blood gushed from He Lun’s mouth, and several teeth fell out.

“Zhou Yu!!!”

He Tianhua roared.

“Stop!”

Zhou Yu replied coldly:

“Stop?”

“Until he confesses what he has done, this is just an appetizer.”

“Now, get up there immediately and confess your deeds, or I will make a bereaved parent out of you today.”

A chilling intensity radiated from Zhou Yu.

He Lun screamed in agony.

He Tianhua was livid but held back due to Wei Wuya’s presence, not daring to act rashly.

“Zhou Yu, no matter what my son has done, he hasn’t committed murder or arson.”

“Just don’t make him apologize onstage; tell me what compensation you want instead.”

“Is it just money?

My He Family can afford it.”

To this point, He Tianhua still thought that money could settle the matter.

As for Tang Beibei’s reputation, it had never been within his consideration.

Zhou Yu sneered.

“Going onstage to apologize is indispensable.”

“Compensation is also necessary.”

He Tianhua angrily said.

“Zhou Yu, don’t go too far.”

Compared to money, He Tianhua naturally valued reputation more; his son’s public confession would be a massive blow to the He Family’s good name.

Especially in a place like Haizhou, where social standing meant everything, his family would become the butt of jokes in high society for a long time.

“I’m going too far?”

Zhou Yu scoffed.

“It seems you still don’t understand me.”

While speaking, Zhou Yu suddenly tightened his grip on He Lun’s throat, lifting him off the ground.

“Last warning, don’t go onstage, and you die.”

“Don’t believe me?

Try it.”

He Lun gasped for air as Zhou Yu choked him, struggling desperately.

As He Lun was about to suffocate, He Tianhua couldn’t hold back anymore.

He and the Innate Realm expert at his side almost lashed out in anger.

But Wei Wuya’s expression darkened, and he stepped forward, unleashing the aura of the Saint Realm, enveloping the two men.

Their faces turned hideous, not daring to make a move.

With no other choice, He Tianhua, containing his anger, said:

“Let him go.”

“Let him…

go and apologize.”

Hearing this, Zhou Yu sneered, tossing him to the steps of the stage.

After He Lun came to, finding no hope left, he steeled himself and shakily made his way onto the stage, before the eyes of all the students and teachers.

“My fellow students, my name is He Lun, and regarding the multitude of photos of Tang Beibei in a hotel room that appeared on the school forum this morning, they were actually Photoshopped by someone I hired…

The intention was…”

He Lun’s confession caused an uproar among the students and teachers.

A chorus of students cursed from below, creating a spectacular scene.

In the crowd, Tang Beibei had already been crying inconsolably.

Before this evening, she thought her reputation and life were ruined.

But now, she was vindicated.

She wept for joy.

Tang Long, too, stayed by Tang Beibei’s side, and watching the scene on the stage, he resolved in his heart to only acknowledge Zhou Yu for the rest of his life—others might as well be a stranger, even if it were the Emperor himself.

Backstage, He Tianhua watched his son confessing everything onstage, seething with hatred.

He didn’t wait for He Lun to step down before turning and leaving.

Zhou Yu did not stop him.

After He Tianhua had left, Wei Wuya said earnestly:

“Zhou Yu, seeing how He Tianhua looked when he left, he will surely seek revenge.”

Zhou Yu chuckled.

“I have long been prepared with countermeasures.”

“Should he dare make a move…”

Wei Wuya paused, surprised.

“Oh?”

“What are you planning to do?”

Zhou Yu’s lips curled up.

“Just now, I’ve already asked Yang Shiwu and Lou Moyan to make their way to Haizhou Provincial City.”

“If the He Family dares to act, I will ensure that they’ll never have a foothold in the provincial city again.”

Wei Wuya’s mind stirred, and then he showed a smile.

“Two Saint Realm experts should be enough to give the He Family a run for their money.”
