Soon, the middle-aged man leading the group approached Shen Hao with great respect and said,
"Mr. Shen, please rest assured, we will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation for this matter!"
The middle-aged man's name was Li Bo, and on his way, he had listened to the injured man recount the whole incident.
This district was under Li Bo's jurisdiction, and Shen Hao was the future helmsman of the Shen Family. Now, Shen Hao's wife and bodyguards had been attacked.
For Li Bo, this was a very serious matter. If it was not handled well and the Shen Family blamed him, he might no longer be the Baked Leader of this district.
Everyone's pupils shrank involuntarily, realizing the immense power of the Shen Family.
Shen Hao nodded slightly, but his voice was cold as he said,
"I must have a satisfactory explanation for this incident!"
Li Bo nodded with certainty, "Rest assured, Mr. Shen, you will have it."
Afterwards, Li Bo walked step by step towards Lin Mo, his gaze cold as he stared at him:
"Young man, I don't wish to make things difficult for you, but you did hit someone, and that is wrong."
"Moreover, the person you hit is Mr. Shen's wife."
"So, kneel down now, apologize to Mr. Shen, and then come with us."
Lin Mo glanced at him, his eyes cold as he said,
"Do you realize how foolish the thing you are doing is?"
At these words, Li Bo was taken aback, but his gaze turned slightly chilly as he said,
"Young man, I am kindly advising you, but you don't listen and even call me foolish?"
"It's clear to everyone who the most foolish is!"
"Now, I won't waste words with you. Kneel down immediately and apologize to Mr. Shen."
Lin Mo stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes narrowed, and said,
"It seems you really are extremely foolish."
"I am foolish?"
Li Bo's face grew icy, "Kid, I tried to be nice to you, but since you are so oblivious, you'll be the one to regret it! Take him away, and if he resists, treat him as a criminal!"
Just as he finished speaking, at that moment, a man in a white coat suddenly walked in from outside.
When Li Bo saw who it was, he immediately put on a smile and said with utmost politeness,
"Housekeeper Wu? What brings you here?"
Wu Yuan glanced at Li Bo and pointed at Lin Mo, "Did you just say you were going to move against him?"
Li Bo was startled, but he nodded:
"He injured Mr. Shen's wife and bodyguards, refuses to apologize, and is arrogant and insolent."
"Such arrogance must be severely punished."
Slap!
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Wu Yuan slapped him across the face.
Li Bo's face swelled from the slap, and he grimaced in pain, covering his mouth and disbelief filling his eyes:
"Housekeeper Wu, why did you hit me?"
Wu Yuan's expression was icy as he said,
"Do you know who he is?"
Li Bo was somewhat confused, but he hurriedly asked, "Is his identity more important than Mr. Shen's?"
"Nonsense!" Wu Yuan said with a hint of anger, "Even our master has to give him room to breathe."
What?
Everyone present was stunned,
including Li Bo and Shen Hao.
They knew that Hong Gang was the chairman of the Martial Arts Association, and the Hong Family even held a slightly higher status than the Shen Family.
Then, Wu Yuan walked up to Lin Mo with the utmost respect and bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle:
"Mr. Lin, I just happened to pass by here and never expected such a thing to happen."
"You can punish Shen Hao or Li Bo however you see fit right now, just say the word."
Lin Mo glanced coldly at Li Bo and Shen Hao, saying indifferently:
"Break both the hands and feet of Shen Hao and his woman."
"As for Li Bo, strip his position and kick him out of Imperial City!"
"Yes, Mr. Lin!"
Wu Yuan nodded firmly, without any hesitation.
In an instant, he walked towards Shen Hao.
Shen Hao and Peng Aoping were completely panicked, with Shen Hao even taking a half step back, he said in a deep voice:
"Wu Yuan, what... what are you doing? You really would make an enemy of the Shen Family just for this kid?"
Wu Yuan simply snorted disdainfully and said: "The Shen Family? Compared to Mr. Lin, what are they worth!"
"You..."
Shen Hao simply couldn't believe it; what exactly was Lin Mo's identity? If it were before, Wu Yuan would definitely not dare speak to him like that.
But now, for Lin Mo, he was willing to cripple both him and his woman?
Even going so far as to make an enemy of the Shen Family?
Shen Hao was becoming afraid. Wu Yuan was a Basic-level Martial Master, and though not highly skilled, he could easily cripple him and his woman.
"Stop!!"
Just then, a thunderous shout erupted, powerful and commanding.
It was an aura of authority honed by years in a superior position, not something an ordinary person could muster.
Then, they saw a white-haired elder hastening into the store.
Following him were twenty or thirty bodyguards.
Although the elder had a lot of white whiskers and seemed old, he appeared to be very fit.
"Father!"
Upon seeing the newcomer, Shen Hao immediately became excited.
He hadn't expected his own father to come in person.
Then, the white-haired elder looked towards Lin Mo with a smile and said:
"Young man, I don't know what abilities you possess that even the Hong Family would not hesitate to make an enemy of my Shen Family, but there's a saying, 'Spare someone when you have the upper hand.'"
The white-haired elder's name was Shen Dongfang, a legendary figure.
At the age of twenty, he came to Imperial City to make his fortune; it took him only five years to amass a fortune of tens of millions. Later on, he established the Shen Group with his own hands.
Under Shen Dongfang's disdainful efforts, the current market value of the Shen Group had reached fifty billion.
Although the Shen Family was ranked last among the top ten families of Imperial City, very few truly dared to provoke them.
Yet Lin Mo just chuckled: "A good saying, 'Spare someone when you have the upper hand,' yet I, Lin Mo, decidedly choose not to spare anyone today!"
The next second, without another word in front of Shen Dongfang, Lin Mo moved like lightning and appeared in front of Shen Hao and Peng Aoping.
"Impudent child, how dare you!!"
Shen Dongfang's eyes bulged as he roared at Lin Mo with intense fury.
Crack, crack, crack, crack!
However, Lin Mo didn't pay him any heed and directly, in front of everyone, broke the hands and feet of Shen Hao and Peng Aoping.
"Ah!! You scoundrel!!"
Shen Dongfang's eyes widened in a shout, he simply couldn't believe that Lin Mo would act in front of him and brutally break the limbs of his son and daughter-in-law.
Lin Mo withdrew his hands, put them in his pockets, and his expression remained icy cold:
"I've been lenient just crippling your son and daughter-in-law. If you don't leave right now, I won't mind wiping out your Shen Family as well."
"Good! Good! Good!! Such bold words about wiping out my Shen Family. Initially, I, Shen Dongfang, intended to swallow this grievance, but you keep insulting my Shen Family. If I don't flay you today, it won't quell the hatred in my heart."
