Chapter 170
Mutual respect is built on the foundation of equality and harmony. If you don't respect me, why should I respect you?
"Hmph!" Lin Shanshan snorted coldly and turned away, not wanting to speak to Lin Yifan. She felt that her tone might have been a bit harsh earlier, but seeing Lin Yifan's sullen face, she couldn't help but speak out.
Lin Yifan ignored Lin Shanshan and continued to speak.
Upon hearing about the abduction of young girls, all the policemen present were extremely angry.
"These beasts, they are truly vile; we'll take them all down sooner or later," Zhao Dabing said angrily.
Afterward, Lin Yifan continued his speech.
In this matter, Lin Shanshan agreed with Lin Yifan's actions; she would have wanted to tear them apart if she faced the same situation. Now, looking at Lin Yifan, she felt less disgusted.
After finishing his speech, Lin Yifan went to the young girl who had been violated and advised, "There's no hurdle in life that can't be overcome. Live well, and tomorrow will be better."
"Yes, I understand! I will live well. Thank you, big brother!" the violated girl responded brightly and then asked Lin Yifan for a hug.
Following today's events, Lin Shanshan's view of Lin Yifan had significantly changed, but the feeling of revulsion hadn't completely disappeared from her heart.
Leaving Nansha Foot City, Lin Yifan drove back to the company.
By then, the injured employees had been sent to the hospital for treatment, while the others were in charge of tidying up the messy company.
Seeing the boss returning, the employees working hurried over and asked anxiously and curiously, "Boss, how did it go? Did you solve it?"
"It's solved! After this lesson, I think they won't bother us for a while," Lin Yifan replied.
"Boss, is that really true? Please don't tease us," an employee said incredulously.
Because in their hearts, they couldn't believe that Lin Yifan could handle it on his own.
"Why would I tease you? If it weren't solved, you wouldn't leave, and I'd have to make you leave," Lin Yifan responded.
Hearing their boss say this, the employees somewhat believed him; but without reliable news, they still harbored doubts in their hearts.
"Yifan, why is there blood on your pants and shoes? Are you hurt?" At this moment, the detail-oriented Su Qingqing noticed this and became worried.
"It's the enemy's blood; I'm not hurt," Lin Yifan replied.
"I don't believe it, let me check!" Saying this, Su Qingqing bent down to inspect.
Seeing Su Qingqing so concerned about his safety, Lin Yifan was touched. Where could one find such a kind-hearted, virtuous young girl?
After checking, Su Qingqing really found no injuries on Lin Yifan's feet and asked uncertainly, "Are you really not hurt?"
"Really not!" Lin Yifan replied with a smile.
This incident made all the employees present even more convinced of Lin Yifan's earlier words.
"Boss! I didn't expect you to be so awesome, truly a triumphant return; I am extremely impressed," an employee praised.
"It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning," Lin Yifan humbly replied.
"How is this a small matter? For us, this is explosive news! Just thinking about it feels incredible, and I'm so proud," the employees said.
"If you consider this a big deal, then something even bigger might happen next Monday," Lin Yifan teased.
"What is it?" the employees leaned in, curious.
"You'll find out next Monday," Lin Yifan replied.
"Ah! Boss, you're such a killjoy," the employees felt teased and were unhappy.
"Alright! Get back to work now. Just replace those broken windows and tables; we aren't short on money." After giving instructions, Lin Yifan quickly left the company.
Returning to Antian Group, it was already past five. Having been away for so long, Lin Yifan thought An Qi would scold him again; however, when he returned to the office, everything was calm and quiet.
"It's good not to be noticed!" Then, Lin Yifan pretended as if nothing had happened and quietly sat on the sofa playing with his phone.
Meanwhile, in another hall, a middle-aged man angrily slapped the table, then furiously exclaimed, "What an arrogant kid. When I advance to the Breaking Mortal Fifth Realm, it will be your time of death!"
The next moment, with a "clang," a porcelain teacup exploded in the man's hand.
Kneeling on the ground, Brother Liang, seeing the murderous look in his eyes, couldn't help but shiver, afraid that the man's anger might be directed at him.
However, the more he didn't want anything to happen, the more it did.
The middle-aged man sitting in front of the hall immediately yelled at him, "Useless! If you can't protect so many people, you might as well be dead."
After saying this, he quickly pulled out a small knife from his clothing, ready to throw a flying knife.
However, at that moment, Poisonous Scorpion intervened, "Big brother! Don't be angry! It's all that kid's fault; don't blame your brothers."
Having confronted Lin Yifan before, he knew his formidable abilities. Not being able to beat him was normal.
After calming down a bit, he put away the small knife. It would indeed be difficult to justify to the man's brothers if he just disposed of this subordinate without clear reasoning.
This might seem a minor issue, but it had a significant impact; who would want to work under a boss who arbitrarily murders his followers without investigating right from wrong?
Calming his emotions, he impatiently spat out two words: "Go down!"
This made Brother Liang overjoyed, and enduring the pain, he scurried away.
After Brother Liang had left, he then asked Poisonous Scorpion, "Second brother! Have you found out the identity of that man?"
"Not yet!" Poisonous Scorpion replied.
"Hurry up and find out! Make sure to clarify all his information, especially his connections with the Cultivation World," he instructed.
Now, his only concern was the mastermind behind Lin Yifan; otherwise, he would have taken action and killed Lin Yifan long ago.
"Understood, big brother!" Poisonous Scorpion responded.
Here, everyone was filled with rage; but since the boss strictly forbade any actions, they could only suppress their anger.
On the other hand, after sending An Qi and Zhou Jiajia home, Lin Yifan was still worried about one issue: who would ensure the company's safety in the future?
