"What?"
Everyone present was stunned to see Shen Lang slam Lin Qubing heavily to the ground in front of Ye Shishi.
This kid, Ye Shishi had already introduced herself, yet he dared to defy her. Was he tired of living?
It's over. Offending Ye Shishi, this kid is finished.
Ye Shishi herself looked at Shen Lang in disbelief, never imagining he would be so ruthless and uninhibited.
Then, Ye Shishi looked at Lin Qubing, who was lying on the ground. She saw that his bones were shattered, his pupils were dilated, and he was bleeding profusely from his mouth. Even if he survived, he would likely be crippled.
After a long while, Ye Shishi looked at Shen Lang coldly and said, "Lin Qubing is still just a child. No matter what mistake he made, he didn't deserve such a brutal attack."
"How could you be so cruel to a child? You've gone too far."
"Child?"
Hearing this, Shen Lang simply laughed. "A child who can order bodyguards to cripple people at any moment?"
"Yes, he's still a child, but for such children, my usual approach is to cripple or kill them."
As soon as these words were uttered, Ye Shishi's expression turned incredibly cold and frightening. She stared intently at Shen Lang and said, "Do you know what you are doing? I'm telling you, you are not only provoking me, Ye Shishi, but also provoking the Lin family."
"So what?"
Shen Lang spread his hands, feigning indifference. "Whether it's you, Ye Shishi, or the Lin family you mentioned, you have never meant anything to me. If you insist on causing trouble for me because of this matter, then my answer is just four words."
Shen Lang enunciated each word: "Annihilate them."
"You—"
These words shocked not only Ye Shishi but everyone present.
How could this kid dare to be so arrogant?
Ye Shishi was the owner of Zhongzhou Bank, wealthy and powerful. Even a sneeze from her would make Nanling tremble.
The Lin family was one of the four great families of Nanling, with roots in Nanling for hundreds of years. Regardless of dynastic changes, the Lin family had always remained prosperous.
This kid not only disdained Ye Shishi but also the Lin family. What was this if not madness?
To be honest, Ye Shishi had never imagined that one day a man would dare to challenge her face-to-face. For a moment, her face turned as dark as if it were about to drip.
Her gaze, carrying a chilling killing intent, fixed on Shen Lang. "Tell me your name."
Ye Shishi was an unparalleled genius with an IQ of 180 and an uncanny ability to remember everything she saw for life.
However, the things that made Ye Shishi remember were never good, and the people whose names she remembered were destined for misfortune.
Shen Lang could sense the hidden threat in Ye Shishi's words, but he didn't care at all, calmly stating, "Remember this, my name is Shen Lang."
"Good, this name, I, Ye Shishi, remember it."
Ye Shishi looked at Shen Lang and sneered, "Are you ready to pay the price for your actions?"
This was a veiled threat, and everyone could tell Ye Shishi intended to retaliate against Shen Lang.
But Shen Lang himself was unfazed. Instead, he looked at Ye Shishi with a serious gaze and said, "Not good, not good, you are too serious. If we meet again next time, remember not to dress so formally."
"Hmm, I want to see you let down your hair, tie it into a ponytail with a white ribbon, and wear a white long dress."
What?
Hearing Shen Lang's words, the bank staff and everyone else were once again stunned.
This kid dared to flirt with Ye Shishi? Did he truly not want to live?
Everyone knew that Ye Shishi suffered from misandry and detested any form of disrespect or flirtation.
It's over. This kid is doomed.
Everyone mentally sealed Shen Lang's tragic fate.
As expected, after hearing Shen Lang's words, Ye Shishi's reaction became even more terrifying.
It was as if a layer of ice had formed on Ye Shishi's face, chilling anyone who looked at her to the bone, making their hairs stand on end.
She beckoned, and soon seven or eight bank security guards rushed forward.
These men, armed with shotguns, formed a neat formation, their killing intent palpable, awaiting Ye Shishi's command.
Shen Lang could tell that these men were undoubtedly experts who had experienced countless battles.
Furthermore, anyone who could evoke a sense of danger from him must have killed many people.
Shen Lang hadn't noticed before, but now he saw that Zhongzhou Bank was indeed not simple.
He was a little puzzled. Ye Shishi's publicly available information stated that she was a prodigy from a scholarly family.
It was understandable for such a person to excel in academics, but to be in charge of such a large bank immediately after graduation and to recruit such formidable individuals as security guards was baffling.
However, be it baffling or not, Shen Lang was fearless.
In this world, aside from the old man, Shen Lang feared no one.
Although these men were heavily armed, if a fight broke out, Shen Lang could cripple or even kill them all with ease.
Moreover, this was Zhongzhou Bank. Shen Lang believed that as long as Ye Shishi wasn't an idiot, she wouldn't make a move here.
And the fact that she had transformed Zhongzhou Bank into what it was now clearly indicated that Ye Shishi was not an idiot.
Shen Lang's guess was correct. Ye Shishi ultimately suppressed her anger and did not order an attack on Shen Lang. She merely said coldly to the guards, "Go find a stretcher and take Qubing to the hospital."
"Yes—"
Upon hearing Ye Shishi's words, the guards lowered their weapons. They quickly found a stretcher and placed the severely injured Lin Qubing on it.
Just as Ye Shishi turned to leave with the guards and Lin Qubing, Shen Lang's voice rang out.
He glanced at Lin Qubing, who was on the stretcher, severely injured, bleeding, and barely clinging to life. He then spoke to Ye Shishi, "If he fortunately survives, I hope you will do one thing."
"What thing?"
Ye Shishi's voice was chilling as she heard Shen Lang's words.
"Change his name. He is not allowed to use this name anymore."
Shen Lang said with a smile, "He can be called Lin Amow, Lin Agou, but he absolutely cannot be called Lin Qubing."
"Why?"
A look of confusion flickered across Ye Shishi's face as she looked at Shen Lang curiously.
Ye Shishi couldn't understand what was wrong with Lin Qubing's name and looked to Shen Lang for an explanation.
"The Marquis of Champion was a heaven-sent genius. He showed his prowess at seventeen, becoming a marquis in one battle. At nineteen, he rode alone like the wind, arrayed his forces at Qilian Mountain, and opened up the Hexi Corridor. At twenty-one, he achieved the Fenglang Juxu feat, drank from the vast sea, and offered sacrifices at Guyan."
"He is my idol. Lin Qubing, a wicked and spoiled brat, is not worthy of bearing the same name."
Shen Lang said coldly, "If we meet again and he continues to use this name, then I apologize, but I will break his neck directly."
"Please remember my words and keep them firmly in your heart, because I never lie and always follow through on my promises."
