Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

The Tathagata Palm, a restrictive skill he acquired after the New Year, is the same as Chen Meijia's. It can slap the opponent hard across the face, and the slap can be as heavy as you want, as long as you're not wearing a ring.

He acquired this skill by drinking ten bottles of salt soda all the way from his home to Jiangning. At first, he just thought he might as well take advantage of it and maybe he would need it someday. Now, he has even forgotten about it.

He never expected to need it on such a joyous occasion, so naturally he wouldn't be polite.

Of course, to ensure it was effective, he even took off his watch, even though the instructions said not to wear rings, but not watches. Better safe than sorry.

Besides, what if a fight breaks out and he damages his watch? It's worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, and it was a gift from Liu Ruyan. Although he's not used to wearing watches, he still cherishes them. He usually keeps them in a box and only takes them out to wear on formal occasions. After all, a watch is one of the few accessories a man can have.

Of course, it's not that he couldn't buy a more expensive one, but Lin Mo felt it was unnecessary. Besides, the nautilus on the watch was quite meaningful to him.

As for this idiot, why bother talking to him? He only said one sentence when he first stepped forward; the rest of the conversation was with Miss Yuan and her brother Yuan Hua. After all, there's no point in talking to him or these other people.

It's the same Tathagata Palm technique, but Lin Mo is not Chen Meijia. With his physical attributes and fighting skills, the force of this slap can be described as extraordinary.

Lu Hao fell heavily to the ground, his mind went blank for a moment, his head was buzzing, and there was a metallic taste in his mouth. He was obviously bleeding, and even two of his molars were starting to loosen.

"Brother, no."

"Xiao Lin!"

"Lin Mo!"

The three shouts came from Yuan Hua, Jiang Feng, and Zhao Yun respectively. Yuan Hua was telling him not to make a move, while Jiang Feng and Zhao Yun were telling him not to act impulsively.

As for Liu Ruyan, her gaze was calm and serene, but her hands unconsciously clenched.

"Don't do it, let's talk this out, brother. Old Lu didn't mean it that way," Yuan Hua quickly stepped forward and pulled him back, afraid that he would go and finish him off.

Seeing this, Lin Mo chuckled. He hadn't planned to continue anyway; one slap was enough.

But the person who was beaten was clearly not convinced. Just as Lin Mo was being stopped, Lü Hao regained consciousness and immediately felt an immense sense of humiliation.

"Fuck you!"

With a shout, Lü Hao rushed over. Yuan Hua heard the sound and turned around to stop his friend, but Lin Mo didn't tolerate it. This time, he didn't use the Tathagata Palm again, since the spots were quite precious. However, besides the Tathagata Palm, he also had other fighting skills, and taking on six or seven ordinary people was definitely not a problem.

How could such a greyhound, whose body has been emptied by smoking and drinking, possibly be a match for him?

Before anyone could react, he lunged forward and delivered a powerful kick to Lü Hao's stomach. Lü Hao's body instantly arched like a boiled shrimp, crashing straight into the wall behind him.

But Lin Mo didn't stop. He stepped forward, grabbed Lü Hao's neck with his right hand, and then pressed down hard. He then delivered a knee strike to Lü Hao's chest, causing Lü Hao to collapse to the ground. Immediately afterward, a roundhouse kick struck Lü Hao's head. This time, Lü Hao instantly lost consciousness. He lay limply on the ground, as if his bones had been removed, breathing evenly.

It was said to be three moves, but it was all done in an instant. So, when he finished, Jiang Feng and Zhao Yun barely arrived at his side, supporting his arms on either side, afraid that he might suddenly lash out and hurt someone.

At the same time, both of them were extremely shocked. Lin Mo's skills were clearly those of a trained martial artist. Zhao Yun, in particular, had sparred with Lin Mo before. Although she knew she couldn't beat the man in front of her, she also understood that Lin Mo had held back a lot during their last sparring session, since his attack was far less sharp than it was this time.

Then the two looked at Lü Hao, who was lying on the ground unconscious, and sighed helplessly. This idiot, now he's done for. He'll be in the hospital for at least a while. You don't even need to look to know he's seriously injured.

Jiang Feng and Zhao Yun were some distance apart, which is why they didn't have time to stop him. Yuan Hua, however, was closer and reacted quickly, trying to stop him, but he was too weak to do so and could only watch helplessly as Lin Mo finished his work.

"Xiaolin, what are you doing? Why did you suddenly attack?"

"That's right, alright, let's go!"

Jiang Feng and Zhao Yun helped him walk away, thinking they would get him away first.

Lin Mo didn't refuse and followed their force backward. Then he heard Zhao Yun whisper, "You're just hitting people, why use such a vicious move? It would have been better to give him ten or eight slaps. If you end up with minor injuries, you'll be in big trouble!"

For Zhao Yun, it was just a fight. With the power of the Liu family, the Yuan family, and Lin Mo himself, this kind of thing was easy to resolve. But if the fight resulted in more than a minor injury, and the other party refused to let go, Lin Mo would inevitably have some trouble.

"I know what I'm doing," Lin Mo nodded, then looked at Gao Mingkai beside him and continued, "Fatty, you were involved too, weren't you? Apologize, or lie down with him?"

"Brother, I'm getting married today, can't you give me some face?" Yuan Hua walked over and said.

Lin Mo nodded: "Make him apologize!"

Seeing this, Gao Mingkai knew he couldn't avoid it any longer, so he said, "Brother, I admit I was being sarcastic just now, and I apologize. I'm really sorry. But we're all here to attend a wedding, and what you did was a bit disrespectful!"

Gao Mingkai thought a lot. He was much more cunning than Lü Hao had been. He would first soften his stance, but not completely, otherwise he would be laughed at. He admitted that he had problems, but the other party also had to have problems. In addition, with the influence of his friend Yuan Hua's family, he believed that the other party should be wary.

Simply put, they were forced into a corner and had no choice but to apologize, but they felt too ashamed and wanted to make amends to make it less embarrassing.

Hearing this, Lin Mo laughed in anger: "I'm not giving you face? So you guys started it with your foul mouths, and when I didn't want to hold back, it became me being unreasonable. In that case, then you shouldn't say anything more."

After saying that, Lin Mo broke free from Jiang Feng and Zhao Yun's hands, stepped forward instantly, and started the second move of the Tathagata Palm, Spirit Frame.

The next second, one more person was lying on the ground.

"If you can speak, then speak; if you can't, then shut your stinking mouth. Is that how your parents taught you?"

After saying that, Lin Mo curled his lip in disdain, then waved to Liu Ruyan and prepared to leave.

Miss Yuan, standing to the side, was very excited, her face flushed red, wishing she could do it herself.

But just as Lin Mo was about to leave with Liu Ruyan, a calm voice, tinged with anger, rang out.

"How we raise our children is our own business, and it's none of our business for outsiders to interfere. You can't just hit someone and walk away!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo and the others turned their heads and saw an old man in his fifties, slightly overweight, with thinning hair on his head, dressed in a formal suit, walking over with a woman of the same age.

It was Gao Mingkai's parents. Although their business was several levels below the Yuan family's, they were still people of some status, so they naturally received an invitation. In addition, since their son was invited to be a groomsman, he, as the father, naturally attended as well.

His seat was in the upper-middle range, placing him among those who weren't in the inner circle but weren't just any ordinary player either.

He just overheard someone telling him that their son had a conflict with someone, so he and his wife, who were about to leave, quickly came back.

"dad!!"

The man who had told him to "shut up" glared at his son, then looked at Lin Mo and continued, "If you don't give me an explanation today, even at President Yuan's wedding banquet, I'll call the police."

Although he was looking at Lin Mo when he said this, he was actually speaking to Yuan Hua and Yuan's relatives. The general idea was that everyone should see that he had done everything he could, that he was the victim, and that he was only doing this to give President Yuan face.

Hearing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh, inwardly cursing that the saying "if you beat the child, the old man will come" in novels was really not just a saying.

Seeing this, Lin Mo pulled Liu Ruyan forward by the hand, and then, to everyone's astonishment, unleashed a powerful blow—the third move of the Tathagata Palm.

"Ahhh! You hit me! How dare you hit me!" Gao Mingkai's mother screamed, her eyes narrowing.

The next second, Lin Mo slapped him again, and instantly, all the noise stopped, and the entire place fell silent.

At this moment, Lin Mo seemed to be like the infamous "Slap Man" from the internet, who would slap anyone without saying a word. He probably would even slap a dog that appeared in front of him.

Then Lin Mo slowly spoke: "Call the police? Fine, call the police then. There are police right here. Come on, call the police. I advise you to think carefully about the consequences. Who was the last person to call the police and have me arrested? I remember now, Qin Zhenhong, Huang Dayong. You better call the police too! I'm waiting for you!"

As he spoke, Lin Mo didn't stop walking at all, seemingly not taking it to heart at all. The two slaps were as easy as sweeping away roadblocks, and he seemed completely fearless.

Soon, Lin Mo led his group out of the restaurant, leaving the remaining people looking at each other in bewilderment.

The three members of the Gao family were quickly helped up by the crowd. After being helped up, Gao Song, who was Gao Mingkai's father, felt a rush of blood to his head. It wasn't from pain, but from anger. His first instinct was to call the police and make Lin Mo pay the price.

However, the moment he had this thought, he was instantly gripped by immense panic, as if something horrific would happen to him if he called the police.

Moreover, it wasn't just him; Gao Mingkai, Madam Gao, and even Lü Hao, who had just slowly regained consciousness, all four of them had the same feeling, their faces turning deathly pale.

Upon seeing this, someone in the crowd who knew Gao Song couldn't help but say, "Old Gao, Old Gao, how are you? Call the police!"

Upon hearing this, the four people who had been slapped screamed in unison, "No!!"

"Don't call the police!"

"Don't call the police!"

"No, no, no!"

The four people's voices trembled, and they were terrified.

This whole situation left the onlookers completely dumbfounded. What the heck? He got beaten up by a young man and was too scared to call the police. Who was that young man? Was he some kind of important figure's descendant?
If it weren't for this, how could he have scared people like this? Instantly, many people began to feel wary of Lin Mo's identity.

Sure enough, none of those who came to the Yuan family's wedding banquet were ordinary people.
