Chapter 45

Lin Yihang looked on coldly, fully expecting everything that was happening.

A person's mental endurance has its limits. Su Cheng was just an ordinary person who had never experienced hardship; under such torment, he couldn't possibly hold out for long. It was completely normal for him to break down so quickly.

Just let him off like this?

Of course not!

"Fine, I'll stop, but what about my electric scooter? I just bought it yesterday for over five thousand yuan. It was my first day riding it, and you guys smashed it up like this. There has to be some compensation, right?" Lin Yihang pointed to the electric scooter on the ground.

Indeed, the electric scooter had been thrown several meters away at high speed. It was easy to see that several pieces of plastic had fallen off and were scattered around the scooter.

"I'll pay! I'll pay!"

Su Cheng nodded rapidly, like a chicken pecking at rice, and fumbled in his pocket, pulling out his wallet. He unzipped it with a "swish," revealing a thick stack of bills, their bright colors almost blinding.

Damn!

Lin Yihang cursed inwardly. Although he despised Su Cheng, the feeling of pulling out a thick stack of money from a wallet... was truly tempting!

The surrounding classmates also looked on with envy.

Indeed, Su Shao! Even if he was beaten like a dead dog, you couldn't deny that he was rich.

Holding the money, Su Cheng didn't even count it, shoving it all into Lin Yihang's hands.

What kind of person was Su Shao? He usually spent money like water. Now, with his pride already shattered, how could he care about this money?

He didn't care, but Lin Yihang couldn't afford to be careless.

Taking the money, he quickly counted out six thousand yuan and tossed the rest on the ground.

"I only want six thousand. That covers the repair costs for the scooter and my mental distress. Not a cent more!"

What the hell!

The surrounding classmates almost fainted.

They had seen shameless people, but never someone this shameless.

Mental distress? Beating someone like a dead dog and then demanding mental distress compensation?

However, to be fair, it was Su Cheng who had initiated the provocation. The mental distress compensation was somewhat justified!

Su Cheng was so frustrated that he almost spat blood.

Lin Yihang slapped the stack of money in his palm, went over to pick up the scooter, and checked it. Everything was functioning normally; only the headlight and some protective panels were damaged, which didn't affect riding. Even if the damaged parts needed repair, it would cost no more than a hundred yuan.

Profit!

Realizing this, Lin Yihang happily rode away.

Among the onlookers, Dong Qing sat on her bicycle, one foot on the ground, her face full of surprise.

"This guy... really is unexpected!"

Muttering to herself, she suddenly heard the bell ring and hurriedly left.

...

Beating up Su Cheng and getting six thousand yuan for free, Lin Yihang was in an exceptionally good mood.

And one of the four young masters, Su Cheng, being beaten up by Lin Yihang, who had been the most talked-about person in the past two days, quickly became a sensation throughout the school.

Lin Yihang's reputation soared, making him a prominent figure. The whole class was watching him, and even students from other classes would deliberately look at him through the windows. The former underdog, who had been bullied everywhere, had managed to beat up Su Cheng. This was a classic example of a major comeback!

However, Lin Yihang himself remained very calm, acting as he always did. To others, Su Cheng was one of the four young masters of Shuncheng No. 1 High School, but to Lin Yihang, he was just a nobody. Beating such a person wasn't something to be proud of.

"Hey, I heard you beat up Su Cheng? I just realized how violent you are!" Lu Man asked after school.

Beside her, Yang Tingting was also looking with wide eyes.

While others found it unbelievable, they felt it was quite normal. This was the guy who had even dared to beat up a police chief! Beating up Su Cheng was nothing out of the ordinary.

"Pfft, it's not that I'm violent; those guys just deserved it. They smashed the electric scooter Xiao Man gave me. Not beating them would be against heaven and reason!" Lin Yihang sighed. This guy was also very good at taking advantage of the situation!

"What? The electric scooter you bought yesterday was smashed today?"

Yang Tingting and Lu Man both exclaimed, quickly circling the scooter to examine it. They soon found the damaged parts, which, while not affecting the ride, were quite unsightly and heart-wrenching.

"Indeed! The headlight is broken, and it was brand new yesterday! He deserved it! He should have been beaten even harder!" Lu Man waved her small fists, wishing Su Cheng were there so she could punch him a few more times.

Women are truly creatures not to be provoked!

Lin Yihang wiped a bead of sweat.

The three walked together, and at the school gate, a red Golf GTI was parked by the roadside. Beside the car stood a woman in a green windbreaker, her slender figure and large sunglasses unable to hide her stunning beauty. Passersby couldn't help but glance at her. Wherever she stood, she was a beautiful sight.

It was Guan Meiqing!

Lin Yihang's eyes lit up.

"Seeing a beautiful woman makes your eyes sparkle, huh!" Yang Tingting rolled her eyes, disapproving of his behavior.

Lin Yihang smiled bitterly, feeling wronged. He wasn't paying attention to Guan Meiqing's beauty but what she could bring him.

Herbs! Lin Yihang desperately needed them.

"Miss Yang, Miss Lu, Young Master Lin! How are you all?"

Just as Lin Yihang was about to approach Guan Meiqing, a voice called out. Chief Ma Jianguo, with his round face smiling like a bun, walked over, holding a bag and blocking their way.

"You're the one who's a miss! Your whole family is a bunch of misses!" Lu Man had no good impression of Ma Jianguo. At the Yellow River People's Restaurant, he had openly favored the bald-headed gang.

"Ha ha, Miss Lu... Miss, calm down! Look at my big mouth! It's my fault, my fault!" Ma Jianguo's attitude was exceptionally good. He didn't retort to Lu Man's rebuke and lightly slapped his fat face.

Now, the term "miss" was often misused and had become derogatory. However, in certain formal situations or for people with special status, it was still used. Chief Ma's use of the term wasn't wrong.

Of course, he didn't dare to argue.

Lin Yihang was slightly stunned, his expression thoughtful as he glanced at Yang Tingting.

He didn't think Ma Jianguo's change in attitude was because he had beaten him. The violence he had shown wasn't enough to cause such a change.

Most likely, it was because of the phone call Yang Tingting had made that day.

A single phone call not only made the other party drop the charges of assaulting a police officer but also made them come to apologize... It seemed that Yang Tingting's background was even more significant than he had imagined!

Feeling Lin Yihang's gaze, Yang Tingting turned and smiled, winking at him. She said to Lu Man:

"Let's go!"

"Okay! Humph!"

Lu Man agreed, giving Ma Jianguo a cold snort, and they rode away.

"Ha ha, take care! Take care!"

Ma Jianguo didn't dare to get angry, smiling and waving them off.

Seeing them leave, Lin Yihang also turned to greet Guan Meiqing, but Ma Jianguo followed.

"Young Master Lin, wait! Young Master Lin, wait!"

Lin Yihang turned in surprise, thinking Ma Jianguo was coming to apologize to Yang Tingting. However, he didn't say anything as they left and instead blocked him, which was quite strange.

Moreover, "Young Master"... where did this title come from? It was quite odd.

"Is there something you need?" Lin Yihang asked.

"Ha ha," Ma Jianguo laughed, adopting a low posture, "It's nothing serious. I just wanted to apologize for yesterday. I was blind and offended you all. I came today to apologize."
