Sky Curtain: Taking Little Rhinoceros to wash his feet! Li Er breaks down!

Su Zhennan gave the order.

More than thirty bodyguards in black suits surged forward like a tidal wave, sweeping over the crystal reception desk and lunging menacingly at Su Tiantian. Their specially made tactical leather shoes pounded on the Persian carpet, producing a suffocating, dull, drum-like sound.

Su Tiantian sneered. She took a half step back with her left foot and grabbed a thick, hardcover folder from the table with her right hand. With a flick of her wrist, the folder was held horizontally in front of her chest, assuming a perfectly defensive stance. The arrogance and wildness inherent in this heiress were revealed in full at that moment.

Lin Yu sat behind the reception desk, not even lifting his eyelids. He picked up his teacup, gently blew away the top-grade Maojian tea floating on the surface, and took a sip.

"Martial arts are forbidden within the Myriad Dynasty Immortal Palace."

The voice was calm and even, but against the backdrop of the ethereal music in the lobby, it was as clear as a decree.

The voice just fell.

The fourteen bodyguards at the forefront froze in their tracks. They were still three meters from the reception desk, yet their bodies felt like a high-speed train crashing into an invisible wall of sighs. A thin, imperceptible ripple spread through the air before them.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The dull thuds of flesh colliding echoed throughout the hall. Fourteen elite, burly men, each weighing over two hundred pounds, were sent flying backward at a speed even more terrifying than a sprint, crashing heavily onto their comrades behind them like rag dolls. More than thirty people tumbled and rolled in mid-air, their gasps of pain echoing throughout the hall.

The lobby floor remained completely still, without the slightest tremor, and the Persian carpet remained perfectly straight.

Above the sky, the barrage of comments exploded.

[Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty: Excellent! This formation is superb! Young Lin's skillful, indirect attack is so extraordinary that even our Ming Dynasty's Imperial Guards would have to kowtow in admiration!]

[Emperor Taizong of Tang: The servants of later generations are utterly useless. They're big, but their lower bodies are weak. One of my Xuanjia soldiers could take on a hundred of them!]

Su Zhennan's pupils contracted sharply to the size of pinpoints. He stared intently at the unharmed Lin Yu, then his right hand suddenly reached into his suit's inner pocket and pulled out his phone.

"What high-tech weapon did you use?" Su Zhennan's voice was cold, carrying the chilling murderous intent of a billionaire. "You dare to kidnap my daughter in Jiangcheng? Don't even think about leaving a single intact piece of glass in your shop today."

He had his thumb hovering over the dial button, ready to call the security group's helicopter directly.

"Da da da".

A series of light, unguarded footsteps came from behind the bar.

Little Sizi, dressed in a black and white maid outfit, came running out, clutching half a strawberry donut bigger than her face. Completely ignoring the burly bodyguards lying on the ground, she walked straight to Su Zhennan and tilted her little head up.

Those clear, large eyes reflected Su Zhennan's ashen, furious face.

"Uncle, don't be angry." Little Sizi held up a half-eaten donut and tried to stand on tiptoe. "Being angry will make you ugly. Sizi is treating you to a donut. If you eat something sweet, you won't be angry anymore."

A childlike voice echoed softly in the tense hall.

Su Zhennan's finger, hovering above the phone screen, suddenly stopped. He lowered his head. Those eyes were so clear, so pure, without a trace of impurity, even carrying an innate nobility and compassion. He had been a seasoned businessman for thirty years, accustomed to deceit and cutthroat competition, but this sudden, unguarded purity was like a gentle knife, tearing a gash through his hardened heart.

A surge of anger inexplicably got stuck in his throat.

Su Tiantian would never let this opportunity slip by. She slammed the hard-covered folder in her hand heavily onto the crystal table with a "thud".

"Dad, look carefully." Su Tiantian tapped the table with her knuckles. "This is the employment contract I signed myself. It's for five years. The penalty for breach of contract is one billion. If you want to take me away, you'll have to pay up first."

Su Zhennan's cheek muscles twitched violently: "Ten billion? Why doesn't he just rob a bank!"

"Chairman Su! Chairman Su, this is unacceptable!"

A barefoot figure stumbled and crawled out of the corridor. Zhang Dong, covered in sweat, spread his arms wide and stood firmly in front of Su Zhennan.

Su Zhennan frowned: "Old Zhang? What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to save my life!" Chairman Zhang exclaimed excitedly, rolling up the cuff of his bespoke trousers and pointing to his right foot. "Chairman Su, look at my foot!"

Su Zhennan glanced down at it. He knew how severe Zhang Dong's gout was; last month, when the two played golf, Zhang Dong had gone in a wheelchair, his right ankle swollen like a purple radish.

But now, the foot has a normal skin color, clear joints, and not even a trace of redness or swelling can be found.

"You... went to Germany for targeted surgery?" Su Zhennan's eyelids twitched.

"What kind of surgery is this! They just soaked their feet in this water for half an hour!" Chairman Zhang whispered, his words tumbling out in agitation. "Chairman Su, this shop is run by gods! The herbal broth dissolves instantly in water, it can cleanse your meridians and marrow! You absolutely mustn't offend Boss Lin!"

Su Zhennan stared intently at Zhang Dong's feet, then looked up at Lin Yu. Reason screamed at him, warning him that this defied modern medical common sense, but the undeniable facts were right before his eyes.

Lin Yu put down his teacup and slowly stood up.

"Chairman Su." Lin Yu's gaze pierced through the chaotic lobby and calmly landed on Su Zhennan's face, as if looking at a patient in dire need of help. "Your eyes are dark and bloodshot. If I'm not mistaken, you've been relying on large doses of sleeping pills to maintain your sleep for years. These days, you sleep less than three hours a day."

Su Zhennan's eyes suddenly sharpened. His severe insomnia was a top secret within the company; even Su Tiantian didn't know the details. How did this young man see through it at a glance?!

"Since you're here, why not try our 'Premium Tranquilizing Soup'?" Lin Yu said calmly, throwing out his trump card. "If it doesn't cure you, the 1 billion yuan penalty fee is forfeited. If it does, you can get a membership card and stay."

Su Zhennan fell into a deathly silence.

Seeing this, Xiao Sizi stretched out her chubby little hand, grabbed the corner of Su Zhennan's expensive suit, and tugged at it gently.

"Uncle, let's go!" Little Sizi blinked her big eyes, like a dutiful little salesperson. "Big brother's soup is amazing! Even my father said it was good after making it! You can sleep soundly after soaking in it."

Su Zhennan looked at his wrinkled haute couture suit, and surprisingly, he didn't shake it off. He took a deep breath, and as if possessed, started walking, following the four-year-old girl towards the private room at the back of the corridor.

Above the sky, the Emperor of Wanchao watched as Jiangcheng's richest man was lightly led into a private room by a little girl, and the direction of the comments instantly changed, the style of the scene suddenly shifted.

[Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty: Hahaha! I'll open a betting pool! This old fellow looks tough, but once the drug kicks in, he'll scream even louder than that Zhang guy from before! I'm betting ten Ferghana horses!]

[Qin Emperor Ying Zheng: I'll bet. This man surnamed Su is extremely cunning, but that elixir is incomparably potent; it will surely break his defenses. I'll bet one hundred taels of gold.]

[Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty: Then let's make sure he can't scream! This old bastard's a tough guy, look at his murderous aura, we're always right about people! Li Lao Er, are you in or not?]
