Wait.
The young man stared at Lin Xuan, feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Had he seen this man somewhere before?
Suddenly struck by a thought, he pulled out his phone and searched for "Tianmu Group's leader" on Baidu.
Lin Xuan's Baidu Encyclopedia page popped up, complete with his photo.
The young man glanced between the screen and Lin Xuan, his eyes widening in shock.
It was really him—Lin Xuan, the legendary leader of Tianmu Group.
Under his leadership, Tianmu Group had crushed Starlight Group in less than two years and dominated industries like short videos, streaming, literature, entertainment, and gaming.
A man like this undoubtedly had an unparalleled network.
So what if Boss Wang’s brother-in-law was the top official in Yundu City?
He was nothing in front of Lin Xuan!
The young man felt a surge of relief that he hadn’t provoked Lin Xuan or the woman with him—otherwise, his fate would have been disastrous.
He quickly blended into the crowd, joining the onlookers to watch the drama unfold.
"Now it’s your turn," Lin Xuan said coldly, his gaze fixed on Boss Wang.
Boss Wang swallowed hard, eyeing his three companions writhing in pain on the ground.
By now, all traces of drunkenness had vanished.
Fear flickered in his eyes as he reassessed Lin Xuan.
This man had seemed like an easy target—how was he so terrifyingly strong?
"Hahaha," Boss Wang forced a laugh. "I won’t fight you for the woman. I’ll just… take my leave."
Though his tone was light, his mind darkened with schemes.
Just wait.
Once he got back, he’d dig up everything about this man and make him pay.
And that woman? She’d be his sooner or later.
As Boss Wang turned to leave, Lin Xuan’s icy voice cut through the air.
"Did I say you could go?"
Boss Wang sneered.
What could Lin Xuan do? Only a fool would stay and get beaten.
He kept walking—until a skewer from the barbecue stand whistled through the air and lodged itself in his crotch.
A cold, metallic sensation made Boss Wang look down.
The skewer was inches from piercing something vital.
His legs gave out, and he collapsed to his knees.
Su Hua peeked out from Lin Xuan’s embrace, admiration shining in her eyes. "Xuan, you’re amazing."
Lin Xuan’s lips curled slightly at her praise.
"It’s nothing. They were just too weak to put up a fight," he said modestly.
Su Hua smiled, her eyes crinkling.
"Right. They were pathetic."
She’d rarely seen Lin Xuan fight before.
Watching him today, she realized even the elite guards of Night Garden couldn’t match his skill.
Just how many surprises did he have in store?
Lin Xuan led Su Hua to where Boss Wang knelt, trembling.
"I-I’m sorry!" Boss Wang stammered. "I shouldn’t have coveted your girlfriend. I swear I’ll leave and never think about her again!"
"It's too late." Lin Xuan's lips curled into a cold smirk.
With one kick, he sent Boss Wang sprawling onto the ground, then planted his foot firmly on the man's back, pinning him down.
"From now on, stay away from women who don’t belong to you," Lin Xuan said icily.
Trapped under Lin Xuan’s foot, Boss Wang struggled but couldn’t get up. Humiliation burned in his eyes.
He had been pampered and spoiled his entire life—no one had ever dared to treat him like this.
The audacity of this man!
Then he remembered his brother-in-law.
His brother-in-law was the top authority in Yundu City, the one who ruled the skies here. With that kind of backing, he feared no one!
"You’d better let me go right now," Boss Wang spat, his voice laced with venom. "Or you’ll regret it."
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow. "Oh? And who exactly are you? What power do you have to make me regret anything?"
"My brother-in-law is—"
Boss Wang nearly blurted out his brother-in-law’s identity but stopped himself just in time.
Chen Feihong had warned him—his position was sensitive. He couldn’t go around throwing his name around recklessly.
"Wee-oo—"
The blare of police sirens cut through the air.
Boss Wang’s eyes lit up.
Perfect. The police were here.
Once they were in the station, he’d be the one calling the shots.
He turned to Lin Xuan with a triumphant sneer. "You’re finished. You dare lay a hand on me? I’ll make sure you rot in prison."
Lin Xuan heard the approaching police but remained unfazed.
He chuckled. "Alright then. I’ll be waiting."
Five or six officers arrived, surveying the scene with stern expressions.
"Public brawling? You’re coming with us to the station," one of them declared.
"Hua, should we go to the station, or settle this now?" Lin Xuan murmured to Su Hua.
Su Hua smiled faintly. "Whatever you decide, Xuan."
"Good."
Lin Xuan nodded, and together, they boarded the police car.
At the station, Boss Wang wasted no time flaunting his connections.
"Do you know who I am? My brother-in-law is Chen Feihong—the top authority in Yundu City!"
The officers exchanged uneasy glances.
They hadn’t expected him to have such a powerful relative.
Boss Wang pointed at Lin Xuan, his voice dripping with malice. "This man threatened me, assaulted me in public. I demand you lock him up—give him ten years at least!"
Then his gaze slid to Su Hua, a lecherous gleam in his eyes.
Once this brat was behind bars, he’d have his way with the man’s woman.
She was stunning—her beauty, her figure—she’d be a delight to play with.
One officer’s expression darkened. "This is a police station, not your personal playground for abusing power."
Boss Wang bared his teeth. "How dare you speak to me like that? I’ll have my brother-in-law strip you of your badge!"
"Do what you must," the officer retorted coldly before ordering, "Take him to interrogation."
"Who dares touch him?"
A deep, authoritative voice rang out from the station entrance.
Boss Wang’s face lit up.
It was his brother-in-law’s voice!
Finally!
He smirked at the officer. "My brother-in-law is here. You’re done for."
Then he turned to Lin Xuan. "And you—you’re finished too."
As Chen Feihong strode in, Boss Wang rushed to his side.
"Brother-in-law! Thank goodness you’re here! Look what he did to me—you have to teach him a lesson!"
Boss Wang pointed at Lin Xuan.
Chen Feihong's icy gaze fell upon Lin Xuan.

lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
