Sitting in the taxi, Lin Yu closed his eyes and pondered how to get the three of them to hit it off...
Bah!
He meant how to get them to love each other.
If they really "hit" it off, it might just turn into a literal brawl!
After thinking about it, Lin Yu felt that among the three of them, he should start with Tang Manman.
First was Qing Mo; he didn't need to do anything about her, as she had a self-regulating function.
He didn't need to waste any effort adjusting her.
The remaining two were simply Xia Muzhu and Tang Manman.
Between these two, Lin Yu still felt Tang Manman was a bit easier to handle.
First, she was easier to fool. Second, facing the "main wife" Xia Muzhu, Lin Yu currently didn't know how to broach the subject.
But this kind of thing couldn't be said directly either.
He still needed to play some tricks...
Bah!
He needed to use some techniques!
The hospital wasn't far from Century Plaza. After Lin Yu arrived, he waited for Tang Manman for over ten minutes before she finally appeared.
As soon as Tang Manman got out of the car, she trotted over. By the time she stopped in front of Lin Yu, she was panting slightly.
"Sorry, it took some time to deal with Qinqin."
"She's been watching some crime dramas lately and got scared by the plots."
"She was worried about me coming out so late."
"Mom had to cover for me so I could sneak out."
Hearing this, Lin Yu naturally knew why Tang Qinqin didn't want her sister to come out.
"Oh, it's fine."
"As long as you're here."
He rubbed his nose with a guilty conscience and said awkwardly.
"Where are we going to play?"
Tang Manman hugged Lin Yu's arm.
She tilted her face up. Her cheeks, flushed from the cold wind, looked exceptionally cute under the neon lights of the plaza.
"Uh..."
"Let's just stroll around the mall."
Lin Yu hadn't figured out where to go either.
In the car, he was only thinking about how to brainwash Tang Manman later.
"Okay."
Tang Manman hugged Lin Yu's arm, looking very happy.
Century Plaza was a newly built mall from the past few years.
It had everything you could want for eating, drinking, and entertainment.
The two first went to a restaurant on the fourth floor for a massive meal. After eating their fill, they went to the arcade on the third floor and started playing games.
When it came to games, Tang Manman's talent was truly lacking.
In arcade fighting games, she couldn't even figure out the basic combos.
In racing games, she bumped left and right, driving even slower than the AI.
However, a lot of times, attracting people's attention doesn't require you to have great skills.
Such a pure and beautiful girl appearing in an arcade filled almost entirely with men was enough to draw everyone's eyes.
And as the person she was clinging to and relying on, Lin Yu felt so proud his face was almost glowing like a lightbulb.
After taking Tang Manman halfway around the arcade, Lin Yu went to the restroom.
When he came out, he found that Tang Manman's alluring aura had acted up again.
A few young men were standing beside her, smiling and asking for her WeChat.
Tang Manman explicitly stated she had a boyfriend. After she refused, the guy still wouldn't give up. The other young men jeered, saying it was just to make a friend, telling her to just give it to him.
Tang Manman stubbornly refused.
The young man asking for her WeChat lost face and was no longer as polite as before.
His tone carried a bit of impatience and irritability.
This time, being aggressively hit on, Tang Manman was no longer timid and soft like before, looking like an easy target to bully.
Now she knew Lin Yu was nearby, right by her side, so she had plenty of confidence and sternly refused with a cold face.
Rejected firmly once again.
This time, neither the young man asking for her WeChat nor his jeering friends had any smiles left on their faces.
But in this crowded arcade, they didn't dare do anything drastic.
They could only sourly spit out a couple of dirty words to claw back some pride.
"If you won't give it, then don't."
"What the hell are you acting so high and mighty for."
The young man who spoke had a disdainful expression, seemingly forgetting that he was the one clamoring the loudest just a moment ago.
After using dirty words to regain some face, he had just turned around when his entire body flew into the air.
His skinny body almost folded in mid-air, flying all the way until he crashed in front of a claw machine.
He nearly hit a passerby who was trying to catch toys next to it.
For these kinds of people.
Lin Yu couldn't even be bothered to say half a word.
Their parents should have taught them how to behave, and they should have learned basic manners in school.
Since those two groups couldn't get through to them.
Then it was time for Lin Yu (the street thug edition) to make his entrance.
There was a saying Lin Yu had heard that he felt made a lot of sense.
When you meet those unreasonable bastards and hooligans, don't bother arguing with them.
It's not worth it.
They are unreasonable, act like hooligans, and bully people.
Sooner or later, they will run into someone more ruthless, more unreasonable, and more of a hooligan to teach them a lesson.
Wasn't this exactly it?
They had run into him!
The group of young men hitting on Tang Manman weren't very old.
At first glance, they were the type with no real abilities, who could only bully honest people and girls.
After their friend was sent flying by Lin Yu's flying kick, let alone resisting, they even forgot to run.
They stood there dumbfounded, their expressions filled with fear, shrinking their necks like little chicks.
Just because they didn't resist didn't mean Lin Yu would stop hitting them.
Grabbing one of them by the collar.
Lin Yu picked a nice round number and slapped him hard across the face ten times.
After finishing with him, Lin Yu moved on to slap the next one.
His hand strength was astonishingly high. The cracking sounds of the slaps could even drown out the noisy sounds in the arcade.
The security at Century Plaza was obviously not something those small, rundown street arcades could compare to.
Before Lin Yu could even finish slapping the last person, a group of security guards wielding batons rushed into the arcade.
"What are you doing?!"
"Stop!"
The security guards surrounded Lin Yu, telling him to stop.
Lin Yu didn't struggle. He let go of the young man's collar, ignored the strange looks from the people around him, and directly took out his phone to dial a number.
The call connected quickly, and Lin Yu asked nonchalantly:
"Is Century Plaza yours?"
"Yes."
Qing Mo's voice, which hadn't completely lost its hoarseness, came from the phone receiver.
"Good, I'm beating people up here, tell those security guards to mind their own business!"
After speaking, Lin Yu hung up the phone directly.
Lin Yu didn't lower his voice when he made the call, and many people around him heard it.
They had weird expressions, as if they were watching a joke.
Are you kidding me?
Asking the security guards to retreat?
And asking the person on the other end of the phone if Century Plaza belonged to her?
Who do you think you're calling?
Qing Mo, the head of the Qing family?
Even if we take ten thousand steps back!
Assuming you actually have her number, and the person you're talking to is really her!
Daring to use that tone to speak to the iceberg CEO who only ever shows anger and a cold face.
Do you have a death wish?

One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
