After a round of brutal beatings, amidst Wang Sheng's pleas for mercy and Tang Xiaoli's cries, Han Chen finally ordered the security guards to stop.
"Mr. Lin, should we lock them upstairs?" Han Chen glanced at Wang Sheng and Tang Xiaoli before looking at Lin Hao.
Upon hearing this, the bruised and battered Wang Sheng was terrified. He wasn't foolish; he understood what Han Chen meant. If he were truly locked up by Han Chen, he would likely wish for death but find it unattainable.
At the same time, Tang Xiaoli, also hearing Han Chen's words, shivered all over. She then cast an extremely venomous look at the women who had beaten her. But as soon as she looked, she received a kick to the face. In the end, she suppressed her resentment and lowered her head.
Lin Hao looked at Wang Sheng and Tang Xiaoli in their state and shook his head. "No need." Originally, Lin Hao had wanted to use this opportunity to settle scores with Wang Sheng and Tang Xiaoli, to teach them a lesson and prevent them from haunting him again. But he hadn't expected Han Chen to intervene. Now that Wang Sheng and Tang Xiaoli had been beaten to this extent by Han Chen's men, he saw no need to act.
Hearing Lin Hao's words, Han Chen nodded and respectfully said, "Then let's go upstairs to eat." Without waiting for Lin Hao's reply, Han Chen immediately instructed the manager beside him, "Prepare the best dishes and the finest wine, and send them up to the top floor immediately."
"Ah? The top floor?" The manager was startled and looked at Han Chen, bewildered.
Han Chen frowned at the confused manager. "What? Was what I said not clear enough?"
"Clear, clear, I'll arrange it now." The manager, startled, hurried towards the kitchen.
Meanwhile, Liu Yongchang and Lai Qingsheng exchanged surprised glances. Liu Yongchang then looked at Han Chen and exclaimed, "Mr. Han, the top floor you mentioned, is it the legendary Supreme Private Room of your establishment?"
"Yes, I've reserved it specifically for Mr. Lin."
"What?" Han Chen's words stunned not only Liu Yongchang and Lai Qingsheng but almost everyone present. They looked at Han Chen with disbelief, then at Lin Hao with astonishment. They could never have imagined that the legendary Supreme Private Room of the Golden Brilliance Restaurant was reserved by Han Chen specifically for this young man. What was this young man's identity? Why was Han Chen so respectful to him? Was he from the capital? But even if he were from the capital, Han Chen's status and position wouldn't warrant such treatment.
As the crowd buzzed with discussion and disbelief, Han Chen turned to Lin Hao and said, "Mr. Lin, shall we go up?"
Lin Hao glanced at everyone in the hall and finally said with a sigh, "Alright." Seeing Lin Hao nod, Han Chen quickly led the way.
Wang Sheng and Tang Xiaoli, still half-lying on the ground, felt the world spin when they saw this! How could this be! How could this be! The Supreme Private Room! The Supreme Private Room of the Golden Brilliance Restaurant was reserved by Han Chen specifically for Lin Hao? Impossible! This was absolutely impossible! Tang Xiaoli shook her head frantically, thinking these thoughts. Then, as if driven mad, she suddenly started shouting.
The people in the hall were startled, and the security guards rushed towards Tang Xiaoli and Wang Sheng. Seeing the menacing security guards, Wang Sheng immediately grabbed Tang Xiaoli and whispered, "Stop shouting, let's go!" Tang Xiaoli, dazed, was pulled out of the Golden Brilliance Restaurant by Wang Sheng.
At the same time, Lin Hao followed Han Chen to the Supreme Private Room on the top floor. Upon entering, Lin Hao was immediately stunned. The entire top floor was equipped with all sorts of entertainment and leisure facilities. Lin Hao even saw a hot spring. Liu Yongchang and Lai Qingsheng, despite having seen grand occasions, were also amazed by the luxurious facilities before them.
"Mr. Han, you're saying this entire floor is prepared exclusively for my brother?" Liu Yongchang asked Han Chen, shocked.
"That's right, this entire floor is prepared exclusively for Mr. Lin," Han Chen replied with a smile.
"You've truly gone to great lengths." Lai Qingsheng couldn't help but exclaim. To reserve an entire floor in such a prime location for Lin Hao's exclusive use, and to furnish it so luxuriously, even Lai Qingsheng couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.
"Mr. Lai is too kind. What I've done is nothing. Compared to how Mr. Lin saved my father's life with just one glance, if I can make Mr. Lin happy with these efforts, I will be content." Hearing Han Chen's words, Lai Qingsheng and Liu Yongchang finally began to understand why Han Chen was so respectful to Lin Hao. It turned out Lin Hao had saved his father's life.
"Alright, let's not talk about this. Let's eat quickly." Han Chen said, quickly ushering Lin Hao into the dining room. Seeing Han Chen's enthusiasm, Lin Hao could only sit down helplessly.
As Lin Hao sat down quietly and chatted with Han Chen over dinner, in a picturesque private estate on the outskirts of Shanghai, Zhou Bo, the head of the Zhou family, looked at Zhou Renjie, who was being carried in, his face as dark as if it were about to rain. He already knew the cause of the incident but still couldn't believe that someone dared to break his son's limbs and cripple him! This was not just breaking his son's limbs; it was a provocation to the entire Zhou family! For more than ten years! In all these years, no one had dared to openly challenge the Zhou family like this! Zhou Bo gritted his teeth, his fists clenched.
At the same time, a middle-aged man hurried in. "Master, the investigation is complete. That Lin Hao came to Shanghai three years ago. For the past three years, he's been delivering food in Shanghai. It's only in the last half-month that he suddenly emerged, claiming to be able to read fortunes and faces, and he has since given readings for Liu Yongchang, Lai Qingsheng, and others." The middle-aged man reported to Zhou Bo.
Zhou Bo nodded, then said with a grim expression, "What about his family background?"
"This... it's said he's an orphan."
"However, when he was in his teens, he was quite popular in the fortune-telling and face-reading circles. He was even known as some 'Heavenly King Lin'."
"What nonsense, Heavenly King Lin!" Zhou Bo spat on the ground, then said coldly, "Since he's an orphan, he must have a master."
"Investigate further, find out who his master is."
"Yes!" The middle-aged man nodded and immediately went out. After the middle-aged man left, Zhou Bo slowly walked to Zhou Renjie's side, looked at Zhou Renjie lying on the recliner, and said with grief, "Renjie..."
"Don't worry, I will avenge you!"
"I... I want to kill him myself!" Zhou Renjie said, his pupils bloodshot and his face contorted.
