Chapter 155: Ye Tianlin Is the Distinguished Guest This Time

Five minutes later.

The two entered the restaurant together and arrived outside a private dining room.

Feng Sihai first straightened his clothes, then adopted an expression of utmost gravity. His entire body grew tense as he lowered his voice and spoke to Ye Tianlin.

"Once we go inside, you must not speak rashly. Leave the talking to me first!"

"Elder Lin doesn't know what has happened yet, so I must pave the way for you. After all, nobody can predict what Elder Lin might be thinking."

"Your current situation is extremely troublesome. No matter what, obtaining Elder Lin's understanding is the only way to resolve this crisis."

Feng Sihai spoke with intense earnestness, offering repeated admonitions.

Standing beside him, Ye Tianlin looked at Feng Sihai’s face, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

Although the two had just met and even traded blows earlier, it had to be said that Feng Sihai's character was truly commendable!

Such genuine goodwill was rare indeed, but the reality of the situation was quite different from what he imagined.

Just as Ye Tianlin was about to open his mouth to explain, Feng Sihai pushed open the private room's door, shot Ye Tianlin a meaningful look, and walked straight inside.

Inside the private room, Elder Lin was already seated, surrounded by an atmosphere of great solemnity.

Seeing the door open and Ye Tianlin standing outside, Elder Lin immediately rose to his feet.

Before he even had a chance to gesture for them to enter, Feng Sihai hurried forward respectfully, bowed at a ninety-degree angle, and said, "Elder Lin, I have a most urgent matter that I need to report to you first."

Elder Lin frowned. Hearing that it was an urgent matter, he had no choice but to shift his attention to Feng Sihai, asking, "What has gone wrong?"

Feng Sihai swallowed hard and replied, "Didn't Lin Kaiyang get attacked and injured repeatedly before, and you asked me to protect him for a while? Well, the person who did it is none other than Ye Tianlin!"

"What?" Elder Lin froze in astonishment.

Oblivious to anything amiss, Feng Sihai blurted out, "Just now at the hospital, Lin Kaiyang got beaten up again. Later, he even went after Lin Jingtao, and as a result, Lin Jingtao ended up getting beaten as well."

"You say Lin Jingtao was beaten too?" Elder Lin asked, his face full of surprise.

Holding his breath, Feng Sihai said solemnly, "Please calm your anger, Elder Lin. I beg you to hear the cause and effect of the matter before passing judgment, because from beginning to end, Lin Kaiyang was the one who provoked it first. You know his temperament better than anyone; even you cannot manage him, so..."

"So what?" Elder Lin was dumbfounded.

Feng Sihai cupped his fists and said, "So I implore you to show some understanding. The fault does not lie with Ye Tianlin. If you do not step in to stop this, I fear Ye Tianlin will suffer severe consequences this time."

Recovering his senses, Elder Lin turned instantly livid with rage. He slammed his hand down on the table, almost overturning it, and roared, "Audacious!"

Misinterpreting the reaction and believing Elder Lin was directing his fury at Ye Tianlin, Feng Sihai hastily pulled Ye Tianlin into the room and urged anxiously, "Elder Lin, Ye Tianlin truly didn't mean it. Lin Kaiyang simply pushed people too far! Ye Tianlin, hurry up and explain to Elder Lin!"

Elder Lin was so angry that his mustache twitched, and he couldn't help cursing, "This is utterly outrageous! No matter what, I will not let this go easily this time, and I certainly won't turn a blind eye!"

"Ye Tianlin, what are you standing there for? Say something already!" Anxiety was written all over Feng Sihai's brows as he wondered how Ye Tianlin could still foolishly keep silent when Elder Lin had already declared he wouldn't let it go easily.

At that moment, Elder Lin turned around, raised a thumb in high praise, and exclaimed, "Ye Tianlin, you beat them well! It was high time someone taught that father and son a severe lesson. You should have beaten Lin Kaiyang right back into his mother's womb!"

"Weren't you just so furious a moment ago? Weren't you blaming Ye Tianlin?" Feng Sihai's whole body shook, and he was utterly bewildered.

Elder Lin said with a stern and righteous expression, "Why would I blame Ye Tianlin? I entrusted him beforehand to personally help me discipline that boy, and I even planned to arrange for Lin Kaiyang to enter the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce so that scoundrel could learn a thing or two from Ye Tianlin."

"And today, Ye Tianlin is the honored guest I personally invited—the true master of the Capital Financial Consortium!"

"Furthermore, as I instructed you previously, the person you are tasked with protecting above all else is Ye Tianlin's wife, Su Ruolan!"
