Qin Fu wiped the sweat from his forehead wildly.

His mentor had fainted, yet everyone's eyes were now on him.

The invisible pressure was suffocating.

"No, I, I'm from the Qin Family Pharmaceutical, my cousin is Qin Shou, please let me go."

If it weren't a public place, Qin Fu would have knelt down and apologized immediately.

The Yang Family was definitely not one he could afford to provoke.

Especially as among the Super Young Masters of Yanjing, there was a member from the Yang Family—Young Master Soldier, Yang Zhantian.

A genuine super special forces soldier, if he got angry and targeted him, he'd easily break Qin Fu's legs.

"Why let you go? I'm ready to have Brother Lin beat the sh*t out of you!" Yang Xinyi clenched her small fists.

Qin Fu no longer dared to underestimate Yang Xinyi at all.

"Our Qin family also has ties with the Longevity Group, I beg you to spare me for the sake of the Longevity Group." Qin Fu hurriedly presented his connections.

He didn't dare to exert pressure, only hoped to be spared.

Qin Fu's girlfriend was also trembling with fear, without a hint of haughty demeanor anymore.

"Longevity Group?"

Yang Ruyan scoffed coldly, tinged with a hint of disdain, said, "Just the Evil Doctor Sect, Yanjing always used to rank our Yang Family along with the Evil Doctor Sect as the Yin Yang Two Clans, do you think a single Longevity Group can protect you?"

Lin Hai's ears perked up.

Yin Yang Two Clans? Sounds interesting.

"Huh?" Qin Fu was dumbfounded.

In the eyes of some upper-echelon individuals in Yanjing, the Longevity Group was merely an outward name for the Evil Doctor Sect.

To insiders, they still habitually referred to the Yin Family of Yanjing as the Evil Doctor Sect.

Including Xiao Bihai's husband who was poisoned, he also bore the surname Yin.

"Xinyi, please, for the sake of our past relationship, spare me this time." Qin Fu looked to Yang Xinyi as his last hope.

"Don't you mention the past, there was never a past between us! You only make me sick, spineless man."

At the mention of her foolishly having been involved with Qin Fu, Yang Xinyi was filled with anger.

It must be said, people from the Qin family indeed seem to have some tricks for faking it when picking up girls.

"Kneel and kowtow to me ten times, and each time shout an apology, then I'll let you go," Yang Xinyi huffed.

"Huh?" Qin Fu hesitated, looking around, people were everywhere; kneeling down would be immensely embarrassing.

Lin Hai's fists made cracking sounds as he squeezed them, his face a picture of threatening "gold medal thug" demeanor, with a deliberate sinister grin, which nearly scared Qin Shou to wet himself.

With a thud—

Under psychological pressure, Qin Fu knelt down.

Instantly, the action drew the side glances of many people.

"Kowtow!" Yang Xinyi urged.

"Okay, I'll do it!"

"Wait!" Yang Xinyi suddenly raised her hand to stop him.

Qin Fu's face showed joy, hastily saying, "Xinyi, are you forgiving me? I'm truly sincere towards you, I was just momentarily bewildered, let's start over…"

"Bullsh*t!" The rough words came out of the girl's mouth as Yang Xinyi pointed at Qin Fu's trembling girlfriend: "Make her kneel and apologize too."

Qin Fu showed a drawn-out face again, hesitantly looking at his girlfriend.

"Young Master Qin, I... I don't want to." The girl's lips trembled timidly, looking pitifully.

Qin Fu gritted his teeth, raised his hand, and slapped her hard, cursing: "Cheap b*tch, it's an honor the Young Lady of the Yang Family demands you to kneel; if you don't kneel, I'll send you to the Red Light District tomorrow to serve twenty clients a day!"

Lin Hai shook his head in private, tsking, this sh*t changes face faster than flipping a book.

Such men really deserve not a shred of sympathy.

The girl's eyes filled with tears, under Qin Shou's intimidation, she knelt down.

"This is pointless," Yang Xinyi smacked her lips, looking disappointed.

"Turns out stepping on someone is really meaningless," Yang Xinyi sighed, feeling no sense of retribution.

Lin Hai smiled: "If it's just squashing an ant, of course it lacks meaning."

"Especially with such submissive people, as long as you're tougher, they'll be like lackeys. What's the point in bullying lackeys?"

Yang Xinyi nodded: "Indeed, Brother Lin, you're still the best."

Qin Fu, having kowtowed publicly during the international exhibition, was immediately captured by smartphone cameras, snapped from every angle.

Nowadays, anyone who doesn't post on Weibo or their Moments when going out would feel embarrassed to call themselves modern people.

Soon, short videos of Qin Fu kowtowing circulated in various circles in Yanjing.

After this, Qin Fu wouldn't be able to hold his head up in Yanjing.

...

Inside the high-class guest lounge of the international exhibition.

"Mr. Lin, thank you for saving Xinyi last time," Yang Ruyan learned from the previous conversation how Lin Hai and Yang Xinyi met.

Lin Hai smiled as he took a sip of coffee, jokingly said: "Just a small favor, by the way, Miss Yang, your name is very special too."

"Oh? What's special about it?" Yang Ruyan thought the Lin Hai in front of her was very special, reminiscent of "him" from back then.

"Yang Ruyan, women like smoke."

Yang Ruyan was slightly taken aback, women like smoke — that's a good metaphor.

Yes, wasn't she just like smoke?

"Seeing all the flourishing turn to ashes in the world."

"Smoke and ashes, no matter how dazzling, will gradually dissipate."

Lin Hai sighed softly, recalling these words with a hint of nostalgia.

Ouyang Xiaoya trembled suddenly, looking at Beast Lin in disbelief.

Was he really capable of saying something so erudite like "seeing all the flourishing turn to ashes in the world"?

Ouyang Xiaoya thought either today the sun rose from the west or Beast Lin took the wrong medicine.

At the same time, she felt this damned beast surely had his secrets.

A normal person couldn't possibly rise to prominence so quickly in Yanjing.

Furthermore, Beast Lin's driving skills, medical skill, and culinary ability all indicated he wasn't an ordinary person.

"No, I must find an opportunity later to thoroughly question him, can't let him shift topics again, must uncover his secrets!" the CEO had made up his mind.

Lin Hai was completely unaware, he just wanted to build rapport, after all one can't constantly joke around with sophisticated people, but it aroused the CEO's suspicion.

"By the way, Miss Yang, why are your Yang Family and the Evil Doctor Sect collectively called the Yin Yang Two Clans? Could it be that the Yang Family also have medical skills?" Lin Hai asked curiously.

Yang Ruyan nodded appreciatively: "Your observation and insight truly exceed ordinary people's levels."

In face of such praise, Beast Lin bashfully smiled.

Ouyang Xiaoya felt a bit jealous, this damn beast always looked so lewd, yet with Miss Yang he was all elegant and classy, not fair, humph.

"The reason the Yang Family and the Yin Family can be collectively called the Yin Yang Two Clans is not because the Yang Family have medical skills, but because every woman in the Yang Family, after the age of thirty-five, has blood that generates a special effect, this effect can be used for healing. Besides, if practiced by martial artists, drinking the blood of Yang Family women can enhance abilities similar to power."
