"Little brother, I was just meeting with someone about the pills and didn't have time to look after you. Are you alright?"

She asked with deep apology and concern, her tone filled with guilt, completely unaware that her hand was still tightly holding Ye Yaocheng's.

Ye Yaocheng, of course, remained silent on this matter.

These little hands are so soft.

It's warm and smooth, and feels very comfortable to hold.

"Miss."

Xiao Cui, standing nearby, suddenly spoke up: "If you keep squeezing, your little brother will almost die."

Wang Shiyu was stunned, looked down, and her face turned bright red!

"what!"

She released her hand as if she had been electrocuted, her cheeks instantly turning rosy.

"I...I didn't mean to..."

She kept her head down and spoke very softly.

Ye Yaocheng smiled and said, "It's nothing."

He flexed his fingers: "They're a little numb."

Wang Shiyu's face turned even redder.

Ye Yaocheng glared at Xiao Cui resentfully; this girl just loved to ruin things.

Xiao Cui snorted coldly and looked away expressionlessly.

Just then, a cheerful voice rang out.

"My niece, Shiyu, over here!"

Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw a refined-looking middle-aged man walking over.

He was dressed in a gray Zhongshan suit and wore gold-rimmed glasses, looking refined and cultured, but deep in his eyes lay a sharp edge.

The middle-aged man laughed and scolded, "You little brat, why are you walking so fast? Don't you know you should wait for the old man?"

However, Wang Shiyu only gave a faint "hmm," her expression not very pleasant.

The middle-aged man frowned, knowing that something must have happened.

He looked at Xiao Cui: "What happened?"

Xiao Cui immediately recounted the entire incident in detail.

From Yang Xiao's provocation to the security captain's favoritism, not a single word was omitted.

The middle-aged man's face darkened, and his refined expression vanished instantly, replaced by a chilling aura.

"Let's go." He turned around: "Uncle will get justice for you."

On the other side, Yang Xiao and Ji Baoyu were still standing in the same spot.

The crowd had dispersed considerably, but a few onlookers remained, watching from a distance.

"Brother Xiao, this matter can't just be left like this."

Ji Baoyu, standing to the side, said viciously, "A good-for-nothing son-in-law dares to be so arrogant!"

Yang Xiao didn't speak, but his eyes were cold.

"Don't worry, Young Master Yang."

The security captain then stepped forward and said obsequiously, "I'll get my men out there right away; we'll definitely take that kid down!"

Yang Xiao nodded.

"Who are you going to take down?"

Just then, a voice came from the other end of the corridor. The voice was calm, but every word was like an icicle piercing everyone's ears.

Everyone turned their heads at the same time, and when they saw who it was, gasps of shock rose and fell!

"Lin...Third Master Lin!"

"This matter actually alarmed Master Lin!"

"Look, isn't that the kid following behind him?"

Third Master Lin!

In Linjiang, this name belongs to a legend.

Don't be fooled by his approachable and gentle demeanor now; it's all thanks to the blood and sweat he shed in the past.

Everyone knows that beneath this refined exterior lies a bloodthirsty and ruthless nature.

Master Lin, along with Ye Yaocheng and the other two, walked over.

His steps were steady, each step feeling like it was treading on one's heart.

"Third...Third Master!"

When the security captain saw Master Lin approaching, his legs began to tremble and his voice shook.

"Don't."

Master Lin looked at him and said calmly, "You're just a lowly security captain, yet you have such an air of authority."

As soon as these words were spoken, a chilling killing intent instantly filled the air!

The security captain's legs buckled, and he knelt down with a "thud"!

At that moment, when he saw Ye Yaocheng and the others behind Master Lin, how could he not know that he had caused a great disaster!

"Third Master! I...I was wrong!"

He kept banging his head on the ground, but showed no sign of stopping: "I really didn't know they were your guests!"

"Oh."

Master Lin smiled, his eyes cold: "I'll give you one chance. Tell me what really happened."

Upon hearing this, the security captain dared not hide anything any longer and immediately told the whole story.

After listening, Master Lin nodded. What Xiao Cui had said was largely correct, and his expression improved somewhat.

He said calmly, "Take your salary for this month, then pack your bags and get out of here."

"I don't need someone like you here."

Upon hearing this, the security captain wanted to beg for mercy, but when he saw the cold look in Master Lin's eyes, he immediately shut up, got up from the ground dejectedly, and left with his head down.

Only then did Master Lin turn around and look at Yang Xiao and Ji Baoyu.

At this moment, both of them turned pale. They never expected that a useless son-in-law would know such an important figure as Master Lin!

Yang Xiao forced a smile: "Third Master, this is all a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstand?"

Master Lin snorted coldly, pointing at Ye Yaocheng and Wang Shiyu: "If I hadn't arrived in time, this young man and my niece would have been bullied to an unimaginable degree by you."

He looked at Yang Xiao: "Tell me, how should this be settled?"

"I……"

Yang Xiao lowered his head, speechless.

"I won't make things difficult for you."

Third Master Lin waved his hand: "Go back and tell that old man that the thing he asked me to do can't be done."

He smiled and said, "Just say it was you who caused this."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiao's face turned deathly pale!

Although he didn't know what it was about, he could tell from the snippets of conversation at the family meeting that it concerned the development of the Yang family!

And now it's all ruined by him!

The people around were terrified. Although in recent years, the reputation of Master Lin had been gradually forgotten by the world, it did not mean that he had changed.

At this moment, everyone seemed to see that terrifying being again.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, the coldness on Master Lin's face vanished instantly, and he returned to his usual refined demeanor.

He looked at Ye Yaocheng and asked with a smile, "This must be Master Ye, right?"

He extended his hand: "Nice to meet you."

Ye Yaocheng quickly waved his hand, then grasped Third Master Lin's hand and replied with a smile, "Third Master, please don't tease me. I don't deserve the title of Master Ye. Just call me by my name."

Upon seeing this, Master Lin nodded slightly, "Not bad, neither arrogant nor humble, low-key and modest."

He looked at Ye Yaocheng with admiration in his eyes, "I, Lin, love making friends the most. I'm determined to be friends with you, young man."

After saying that, he turned around and said, "Let's go to the auction house first, so we don't miss out on the good stuff when it starts."

The group left, leaving behind only the still shocked onlookers and Yang Xiao and Ji Baoyu, whose faces were ashen.

Yang Xiao stared at Ye Yaocheng's departing figure, his eyes practically spitting fire!

On what grounds?

That's a useless son-in-law!

What qualifications does he have to receive so many benefits that he doesn't even have?!

When we arrived at the auction house, it was already quite crowded.

The lighting was soft, and the atmosphere was quiet.

Master Lin stopped and said apologetically, "Gentlemen, I have some things to prepare, so I'll take my leave now."

He looked at Ye Yaocheng: "Young friend Ye, thank you in advance."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Ye Yaocheng was completely baffled. He looked at Wang Shiyu and asked, "Sister, what does all this mean?"

"And how did I become a master?"

Wang Shiyu covered her mouth and chuckled: "Your pills are as black as charcoal. If I don't show you your resume, I'll be scolded to death."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yaocheng understood.

She must have told him that he had cured the mayor's wife's illness.

"Then..." he asked curiously, "How did people come to believe that this elixir was effective?"

Wang Shiyu rolled her eyes at him: "Why do you think people should thank you?"

Ye Yaocheng seemed to have thought of something, "You wouldn't... have them find someone to try one too, would you?"

Wang Shiyu smiled but didn't say anything, but her expression said it all.

Ye Yaocheng sighed, "Good heavens, she's using my pills as guinea pigs... This sister of hers is something else."

"rest assured."

Wang Shiyu patted him on the shoulder: "The effect is very good."

She laughed and said, "That person broke through on the spot."

"Now...they treat you like a treasure."

Ye Yaocheng shook his head, unsure of what to say.

Just then, a beautiful woman in a cheongsam walked onto the auction stage.

"Distinguished guests!"

"The auction is now open!"

The sound was crisp and clear, and the entire room fell silent instantly.
