The villainous second male lead at the beginning? No! He's the white moonlight!

Tantai Lin's kneeling was truly earth-shattering, instantly stunning everyone on the entire playground who was watching the scene, leaving them dumbfounded as they stared at the kneeling before them!

"No, really? I'm not seeing things, am I? Is this really the same arrogant and domineering Tantai Lin?"

As a roommate who was often bullied by Tantai Lin, Li Yang knew very well how arrogant and domineering Tantai Lin was. Relying on his family's wealth and connections in society, he bossed around the other three people in the dormitory and would often order them around.

But now, he's been forced to kneel down and admit his mistakes in front of Ye Linyuan. What kind of nonsense is this? Is it true that evil people will always be punished by other evil people?!

A classmate next to Li Yang, who knew the Ye family's status in Haicheng, spoke up to explain.

"That's normal. Didn't you hear what Yan Fan just said? This Junior Ye is the young master of the Ye family, one of the eight great families in Haicheng. In Haicheng, what level is the Ye family? Who dares to provoke them easily? If the Ye family really takes action to suppress us, unless we are also one of the eight great families, none of the others can withstand it!"

Li Yang nodded, but still asked the question that had been bothering him.

"Wasn't it said that the Tantai family's influence isn't in Haicheng? Could the Ye family possibly cross city lines to deal with the Tantai family?"

Another student, who was in the same class as Li Yang and Tantai Lin, watched with glee as Tantai Lin wept bitterly, without turning his head, his tone indescribably smug.

"You, you, I told you to pay more attention to the news, but you just wouldn't listen. The so-called eight great families of Haicheng are just because the ancestral home of these eight families is in Haicheng. In reality, all the big and small wealthy families in the thirteen southern provinces are respected by the eight great families of Haicheng."

"Yes, yes, and I've also heard that many of the eight major families have a red background, and some are even descendants of founding fathers, so they hold very high positions. Therefore, under normal circumstances, no one wants to provoke them."

The one who spoke was a lackey of a young master in Haicheng's social circle, and his words instantly made many people gasp.

"After the founding fathers, wouldn't that mean that among the eight great families, there are families with original shares in the Dragon Kingdom?"

"My God! Doesn't that mean Tantai Lin has really messed up this time?"

"A steel plate? Hahaha, this time, he's kicked a titanium alloy plate!"

"Titanium alloy plate? Hahaha, brother, you're absolutely right. Let's see how arrogant Tantai Lin is this time."

"Hey guys, how do you think this will end?"

"This isn't going to end well. Now it all depends on Young Master Ye's attitude. If he lets Tantai Lin off the hook after a couple of tears, then everyone's happy. But if he insists on making Tantai Lin take a beating, well, just from what I saw Young Master Ye kick that ball, any normal person who caught it would definitely have broken bones!"

"If you ask me, Tantai Lin is definitely going to win this round. Didn't you hear what Young Master Ye just said? Yan Fan doesn't have much influence with him!"

"..."

Yan Fan looked at Tantai Lin, who was kneeling on the ground, weeping bitterly, and was almost crawling to hug Ye Linyuan's leg to repent. He really had an urge to gouge out his own eyes.

Is this still the Tantai Lin he knows? This guy is usually arrogant and domineering, doesn't take anyone seriously, and even he didn't pay any attention to him at first!

But now, Ye Linyuan has made him kneel down and beg for mercy with just a few words.

Was I blind to his previous assessment that he was fearless of power and loyal to the people?

"Tantai Lin, what are you afraid of? You didn't stab him in the back!"

"So what if you've been stabbed? As long as it's not a vital organ and you get medical attention in time, your life will be saved. It'll just hurt a little!"

Tantai Lin, who was frantically begging Ye Linyuan for mercy, was instantly enraged when he heard Yan Fan's nonchalant and indifferent words. The lofty image of Yan Fan in his mind was instantly shattered, and he couldn't help but curse loudly.

"You, surnamed Yan! Who do you think you are? You want me dead? If I die, I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"

Yan Fan was originally waiting for Tantai Lin to apologize to him, then he would do everything he could to protect him. But what he got was not an apology, but a furious curse, which made him furious.

What does it mean to be bitten by a dog and not recognize a kind heart? This is exactly what it means to be bitten by a dog and not recognize a kind heart!

If I ever help Tantai Lin again in my life, I, Yan Fan, am a dog!

Thinking of this, Yan Fan snorted coldly, turned around and left without hesitation, not wanting to say a single word to Tantai Lin.

After driving Yan Fan away, Tantai Lin continued his quest for mercy, wailing and slapping himself repeatedly.

"Young Master Ye, I was blind to your greatness! I interrupted your date with Miss Wang. I deserve to die! Please, spare my life!"

Ye Linyuan ignored Tantai Lin's pleas for mercy and watched Yan Fan's departing figure with interest, but he did not step forward to stop him.

The male protagonist is a reborn template and has not yet awakened his memories from before his rebirth. If he suppresses him now, he might be able to seize a portion of his luck. However, Ye Linyuan has a feeling that he will only gain the most when the other party's luck reaches a certain level.

When a reborn person's luck is at its peak, it's when their memories of their past life awaken, greatly enhancing their abilities and even leading to some improvement in their career. At this point, constantly suppressing them will be most effective.

Moreover, since reborn individuals have unwavering faith in their memories from before their rebirth, suppressing them is incredibly easy once they know the other party's thoughts.

In this wave, Yan Fan is on the second level, while I am on the third level!

"Yuan-di, what are you thinking about? If you don't speak up soon, Tantai Lin will run out of things to say."

With Bai Yu's reminder, Ye Linyuan finally came to his senses, looked down at Tantai Lin who was looking at him pitifully, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"Tantai Lin, if you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? So you have to take this ball."

Seeing that Tantai Lin was about to speak, Ye Linyuan's next words struck him like a thunderbolt.

"Of course, it's okay if you don't want to catch this ball; then the Tantai family will have to catch it."

Tantai Lin understood Ye Linyuan's meaning very well, and he also knew that with the Tantai family's strength, there was absolutely no way they could withstand the Ye family's retaliation!

Moreover, he was already unfavored in the Tantai family. If the Tantai family were to suffer retaliation from the Ye family because of his own actions, he would probably die.

Based on his understanding of the Tantai family, they wouldn't mind losing one or two people to quell the Ye family's anger!

If I catch Ye Linyuan's ball, I will most likely suffer broken bones and tendons, but I might not die. However, if I don't catch it, I will almost certainly die!

Thinking of this, Tantai Lin's expression was as if his parents had died, and he nodded with difficulty.

"Young Master Ye, please have mercy on me! I'm only 22 years old; I have so much of my life ahead of me that I haven't even had a chance to enjoy yet!"
