Chapter 11 Starting From Today, We Will Follow Your Lead!

• Thud!
• When the sound of two people falling onto their knees landed on everyone’s eardrums, they were so shocked their eyes almost fell out.
• They knelt down!
• The two infamous young ruffians, Xu Ziheng and Zhang Tian were kneeling down at Lin Fan’s feet!
• This…
• No one could believe their eyes, especially Lin Guangyao.
• The joy and the unsightly smile on his face all froze. He looked like Xu Ziheng incredulously and asked hastily, “Y-Young Master, what are you doing? Why are you kneeling down to this good-for-nothing!”
• “Please hurry up to your feet. Aren’t we here to ruin this jerk for crashing your car?”
• Lin Guangyao’s voice was oozing with panic and horror.
• For some reason!
• In this very moment, his heart was filled with unease and apprehension as if he had made a major misunderstanding.
• And he wasn’t alone in this.
• Everyone around them was in an even bigger uproar after seeing the two young ruffians kneel down at Lin Fan’s feet.
• Wen Qian was in even greater disbelief by the sight she witnessed.
• She hurriedly walked up and said to Xu Ziheng and Zhang Tian who were on the floor, “Young Masters, what are you doing? This guy is just a useless crap who married into the Bai family, someone like that was not worthy enough for you to get on your knees.”
• Wen Qian was unable to accept the sight before her eyes.
• However, the moment she was about to help Xu Ziheng up after those words left her mouth!
• Slap!
• Suddenly, a resounding slap echoed through the hall.
• Wen Qian was hit so hard, she staggered and almost fell to the ground.
• A bright scarlet palm print appeared on her face.
• She felt fear and consternation!
• Wen Qian would never be able to imagine just why on earth did Xu Ziheng give her a tight slap when she was just trying to help him.
• “Y-Young Master Xu, you…” Wen Qian uttered as she looked at Xu Ziheng in shock.
• However, Xu Ziheng gave her a look like he wanted to gobble her up whole as he shouted at her, “Damn it, shut your trap! Trash like you is not worthy of speaking Mr. Lin’s name!”
• What!
• Mr. Lin?
• Never in Lin Guangyao, Bai Yi, or everyone else’s wildest dreams could they ever imagine that Young Master Xu was defending Lin Fan.
• However, that was only the beginning of all the shocking things that were to come.
• After scolding Wen Qian, Xu Ziheng and Zhang Tian continued kneeling by Lin Fan’s feet like a pair of abandoned stray dogs as they begged:
• “M-Mr. Lin, I, Xu Ziheng, was rash and offended you before, being the magnanimous person that you are, please forgive me!”
• “Mr. Lin, I, Zhang Tian, know that I was in the wrong. Please, I beg of you, don’t let my dad kill me! I… don’t want to die!”
• The fear in their voices was clear as day.
• It was almost as if what they were bowing down to was not a person but a demon!
• As their words resounded across the hall, the crowd got into an even bigger uproar.
• A trace of horror and disbelief appeared on everyone’s faces.
• “W-What on earth is going on? Didn’t Lin Fan crash the two Young Master’s cars? Why are they begging for his forgiveness instead!”
• “Heck! What does Zhang Tian mean when he asks not to let his father kill him? Could it be that Lin Fan knows Mr. Zhang?”
• “Just what the heck did Lin Fan do? How did he make the two Young Master’s fear him so?”
• “...”
• As the hall broke out into a flurry of discussion in a bid to figure out what was going on, every single one of their words had traveled into Bai Yi’s ears. This resulted in her trembling from a chill that ran down her spine, breaking her out of her daze.
• A-Am I dreaming?
• Bai Yi was utterly dumbfounded by the situation.
• Just a few moments ago, she had thought that Lin Fan and herself were goners. Never would she have expected such an unbelievable situation to occur.
• She couldn’t help but turn her head to look at Lin Fan as his words from before seemed to echo in her ears.
• Don’t worry, you have me!
• Could it be that he knew the purpose of their visit right from the start?
• But how did he do that?
• Silence!
• At the moment, the sounds of discussion slowly faltered and everyone looked at Lin Fan with an expression like they had just seen a ghost.
• “Are you sure you know that you’re in the wrong?” Lin Fan asked, his eyes filled with cheekiness and a glint of coldness.
• And when those eyes fell on Xu Ziheng and Zhang Tian, they felt like they could see a predator staring down at them, causing their hair to stand on end.
• “W-We were in the wrong!”
• “We beg for your forgiveness, Mr. Lin!”
• In an instant, the two of them lowered their head even more, to the point where they were basically lying on the ground.
• Then, at that moment!
• Lin Fan gave them a brief nod and said, “Remember, there will be no next time!”
• When Xu Ziheng and Zhang Tian heard those words, it was as if they had been released from their sins. The heart that had been in their mouth the entire time finally went back to its original place, and they were completely ecstatic.
• They knew that Lin Fan had forgiven them.
• Now they won’t be expelled by their families or end up abandoned.
• The two of them immediately started kowtowing profusely, thanking Lin Fan for his graciousness:
• “Mr, Lin, please be rest assured that I, Xu Ziheng, will begin anew starting from today with you as my leader!”
• “Thank you for your magnanimity, Mr. Lin! Starting from today, I, Zhang Tian, am you subordinate!”
• These two were ruffians no doubt, but they weren’t stupid.
• Although they did not know Lin Fan’s true identity, based on the terror in their fathers’ voices, they knew that he definitely had a background that was more powerful than they could ever think of.
• How could they not latch themselves onto someone like that!
• In an instant!
• Let it be known to the rest of Jiang City that the infamous ruffians that made people lose all color in their faces at the mere mention of their name had become subordinates to Lin Fan in the blink of an eye.
• What an absurd and ridiculous sight!
• Lin Guagyao, Wen Qian, and the rest of the crowd all felt like they were in a dream.
• Thud!
• Lin Guangyao slumped onto his butt, his face as pale as a blank sheet of paper.
• He’s dead!
• He finally connected the dots and understood that the true goner was actually… himself!
• “Lin Guangyao!”
• Then, Xu Ziheng, who had gotten up to stand behind Lin Fan respectfully, said with a chilly tone, “Before I arrived, I told you to steady Mr. Lin such that I could come as quickly as I could to apologize. But to think you were this blind!”
• “Starting from today, you are fired from the Tianlong Group! Not only that, you are also blacklisted by all the groups in Jiang City!”
• Boom!
• Those words were like a bomb, blasting Lin Guangyao’s soul to nothingness.
• He was finished!
• “No!!!”
• Lin Guangyao had virtually gone crazy. He had thought that his becoming a general manager was more or less set in stone, but to think that now, he would lose his job entirely and was even blacklisted by all the companies in Jiang City. There was no more hope left for him!
• His eyes turned bloodshot as she shouted at Xu Ziheng like a madman, “Young Master Xu! You can’t do that! Do you know what that kid has done? He stole the Skeleton King Card from the emperor-class guest of Golden Age Clubhouse! Soon, the staff of Golden Age Clubhouse will realize that and he will die a horrible death! You can’t fire me over someone like him!”
• What!
• He stole the Skeleton King Card?
• Both Xu Ziheng and Zhang Tian were scared silly by Lin Guangyao’s words.
• They have heard that the Golden Age Clubhouse and other major companies including the Tianlong group had come together to produce a mysterious skeleton card.
• As the owner of that card, one was exempted from paying for any of their expenses at all businesses owned by Golden Age, Tianlong and other companies. That person would also get to enjoy the treatment of an emperor!
• However!
• To their knowledge, there was only one such card in the entire world. And it’s held in the hands of an enigmatic, super boss.
• Plus, they had heard from their fathers that this super boss could remove magnates from the face of the earth with a single finger.
• And now…
• “M-Mr. Lin, did you really steal such a card?” Xu Ziheng asked with a trembling voice as he gulped on his saliva.
• Zhang Tian, who was standing on the side, was so anxious he could barely breathe.
• However!
• Lin Fan nodded his head lightly, like he couldn’t care less and said, “That card is with me!”
• Boom!
• Xu Ziheng and Zhang Tian almost peed their pants following that statement!
• Crap!
• They could be certain that no matter what kind of background Mr. Lin had, given that he had stolen that super boss’ skeleton card, once that person decides to look into it, not only was Lin Fan a goner, the rest of them would be dragged down with him as well.
• This…
• Beads of cold sweat immediately started flowing down the two ruffian’s foreheads.
• Seeing this, Lin Guangyao sensed that his chance had come and he quickly added on to incite them, “Young Master Xu, it’s better to apprehend him now and hand him over to Golden Age Clubhouse, explaining the circumstances! That way, we will receive the gratitude of the Golden Age Clubhouse and Young Mistress Xue Meigui!”
• “It’s definitely worth it! To sacrifice a simple man that married into a woman’s family in return for Golden Age’s gratitude!”
• Seeing the young masters’ hesitation, Lin Guangyao's heart grew increasingly excited.
• However, just then!
• A voice as deep as the chime of a large church bell asked, “Is that so?”
• And what they saw next were hoards of man in suits appearing in the hall from all directions.
• Ten people!
• Thirty people!
• Fifty people!
• In the blink of an eye, the area was filled with a sea of black.
• And in particular, the man standing at the forefront of this group was of a man of large stature. That was Xue Meigui’s subordinate, her number one right-hand man—Hei Hu!
• More commonly known as, Master Hu!
