That’s right. The mont Su Xuan heard Su Zimo ntion the Lycar Hotel Supplies Company, he knew they were a supplier for the Lycar Hotel. He also knew that they had received a massive investnt from Lycar and that the na itself had been granted by them.
For the past two days, Liu Ming had been constantly reporting to him, bringing him up to speed on everything related to Lycar so he could get a comprehensive understanding in the shortest ti possible. Therefore, with a single phone call, he could ensure the Lycar Hotel Supplies Company was utterly finished.
As for the woman who ran away the mont she saw him, it was, coincidentally, the very sa one who’d had her hyn surgically repaired, tried to climb into his car, and was subsequently beaten severely by her wealthy boyfriend. Her black eye wasn’t from drinking or staying up late—it was from the beating. The woman must have been terrified he would expose everything, which is why she fled on sight.
"You really bankrupted my family?" Gong Feiyang stared at Su Xuan, panic gripping his heart. "You’re not joking, are you?"
The aura Su Xuan emanated, without even trying, was not one a young man should possess. It was the terrifying presence of soone in a high position of authority, an aura that made others want to instinctively bow in reverence. One simply couldn’t have such a presence without wielding imnse power.
Looking at Su Xuan now was like looking at his own father.
No, Su Xuan was even more awe-inspiring than his own father!
"I... I’ll make a call too!" Gong Feiyang fumbled for his phone to call his father.
The line was busy.
He tried again. Still busy.
Finally, on the third try, the call connected.
"Dad, I just had a little run-in with soone," he began. "He bragged that he could bankrupt our family with a single phone call. How are things on your..."
Before Gong Feiyang could finish, his father’s roar erupted from the phone.
"You worthless animal! You’ve ruined ! I was wondering why Mr. Liu from Lycar just called, saying he’s terminating our cooperation, withdrawing their investnt, and taking away our na! So it was you! You offended soone you can’t afford to offend!
"I should have just shot you against a wall when I had the chance!
"Our family is finished! We’ll have to go beg on the streets together!"
The call ended, the angry words still hanging in the air.
THUMP!
His spirit crushed, Gong Feiyang collapsed to the floor. His family was truly ruined.
He took a mont to recover, then slowly raised his head to gaze up at Su Xuan.
"I... I know who you are now..."
Suddenly, Gong Feiyang pushed himself up with his hands and knelt, scrambling on his knees toward Su Xuan. He hugged Su Xuan’s legs and wailed, "I was wrong! I was truly wrong! Please, I beg you, take back your decision! Grandpa, I’ll call you Grandpa, okay? From now on, I’m your grandson—no, I’m your dog! I’ll do whatever you say! I’ll bite whoever you tell to bite! WOOF, WOOF, WOOF..."
Su Xuan uttered only two words.
"Too late."
He lived by a simple principle. For those who helped him, he would engrave their kindness in his heart and repay it a hundredfold. But for those who crossed him, he would demand an eye for an eye and return the favor tenfold.
Those two words from Su Xuan landed like an invisible, heavy fist on Gong Feiyang’s head. His eyes rolled back, and he fainted, slumping to the ground. The security guards rushed over and carried him away as well.
"Su Xuan, are you the... owner of Lycar?" Su Zimo asked, still in shock, blinking as a realization dawned on her.
A single phone call could destroy everything Gong Feiyang’s life was built on. There was only one explanation: Su Xuan was the boss, the one in control of Lycar. She rembered Gong Feiyang bragging about how his family was backed by the great tree that was Lycar...
Su Xuan didn’t answer directly. There was no need. Wasn’t it already perfectly obvious?
CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!
A thunderous round of applause erupted in the bar once again.
"What a fantastic scene!"
"That guy was actually crying his eyes out! His acting is top-notch!"
"But the most amazing one is the handso young man. His domineering aura is so realistic. How does he do it?"
"You’d have to actually be in a position of power to act that convincingly, right?"
The crowd was buzzing with excitent, still believing it was all a performance.
"There’s a hundred-million-yuan supercar outside, and it belongs to that handso guy!"
"Maybe this isn’t an act. Maybe it’s real!"
"The villain was destroyed by a single phone call!"
So people began to speculate along these lines, their shock growing even deeper.
Is this the world of the rich? You don’t need a weapon; a single phone call can end you? It’s just like that line from the poem, ’With a laugh and a jest, a mighty fleet is turned to ash and smoke.’ Terrifying! Truly terrifying! I have to be so careful from now on. If I accidentally offend soone like him, my life will be over!
So of the young won in the crowd, ignoring the boys sitting beside them, cast smoldering glances at Su Xuan. He perfectly matched every fantasy and dream they had for a partner.
And his fighting skills are so amazing! He must be incredibly powerful in... that other departnt too, right? I’m in love! Totally in love!
But when they saw Su Zimo standing next to him, they felt a pang of inadequacy and reluctantly reined in their improper thoughts.
"Let’s go," Su Xuan said, glancing at Su Zimo. He had no interest in staying any longer.
"Okay!"
The usually composed and efficient Su Zimo was now like a gentle lamb. She nodded obediently and instinctively looped her arm through Su Xuan’s, following him toward the exit.
"Esteed guest, please wait a mont." The bar’s owner, Cen Haonan, suddenly hurried after them. "I am Cen Haonan, the owner here."
Oh no, the bill! Su Zimo realized, giving an embarrassed smile. In all the excitent, she’d completely forgotten to pay.
"No, no, no need to pay!" Cen Haonan said, also a bit embarrassed as he quickly waved his hands. "Everything tonight is on the house!"
He hadn’t chased them down for sothing as trivial as the bill. If anything, he felt he should be paying Su Xuan. Thanks to the ’performance,’ his bar had made an absolute killing tonight.
"Esteed guest, I have a favor to ask," Cen Haonan said, getting straight to the point. "I’m a senior mber of the Supercar Association and a huge enthusiast, but I’ve never even touched a real Koenigsegg before. Could you let ... get a feel for your car? Of course, if you’re not willing, you can just leave."
Before Su Xuan could respond, Cen Haonan quickly added, "Your drinks are still on the house, of course! Hehe, they’ll be on the house the next ti you visit, too!"
He knew that so people were very protective of their cars, let alone a hundred-million-yuan Koenigsegg. As he spoke, he respectfully presented a high-quality black card to Su Xuan with both hands.
"This is my bar’s highest-level black card. Please, you must accept it. With this, any spending up to five thousand yuan is complintary, and anything over that is billed at cost!"
This essentially ant it was free. Normally, a person could have a great ti drinking and relaxing at the bar for just two or three thousand yuan.
Faced with Cen Haonan’s sincerity, and also considering the scene he’d made in the man’s establishnt, Su Xuan, who wasn’t particularly attached to the car anyway, said, "Go ahead. It’s just a car."
Cen Haonan’s face lit up with a grin. He reached out and shook Su Xuan’s hand firmly. "Thank you!"
Su Xuan glanced down at Cen Haonan’s arm.
Tattooed on it was a ferocious, coiled dragon...
