Chapter 160: Lin Kaiyang is Scared to Tears

Lin Kaiyang's eyes were filled with an urgent and intense desire.

This matter was simply too unbelievable. He had assumed that Ye Tianlin was merely a figurehead, yet it turned out he was the true master of the Capital Consortium.

For Lin Kaiyang, this was far too difficult to accept. He would rather believe this was not reality, but a pure fabrication. As long as there was the slightest shred of hope, he wanted to drag Ye Tianlin down and humiliate him!

At this very moment, Lin Kaiyang was not the only one feeling this way. Even Lin Jingtao turned his head stiffly, staring straight at Elder Lin.

Elder Lin flew into a rage, slamming his hand heavily onto the table and shouting angrily, "Joking? Do you think my expression right now looks like I'm joking?"

"You bastard, you are simply the disgrace of my entire life!"

"The reason I had you come here in person was to make you deeply realize just how severe this problem is. Did you really think you had caught the attention of some big shot?"

"With your wretched conduct, I wouldn't even dare take you out in public. What qualifications do you think you have to be appreciated and valued by others?"

Elder Lin's voice roared with fury, echoing instantly through the private dining room like a deafening thunderclap.

Lin Kaiyang trembled all over, so frightened his soul nearly left his body. This felt like the final straw that breaks the camel's back, and his psychological defenses completely collapsed.

Lin Jingtao was gripped by unprecedented terror. He knew all too well the formidable power of the Capital Consortium, which was certainly not something that could be shaken casually. Mistaking the real master for a puppet was a colossal blunder, and it had undoubtedly made Elder Lin lose all face!

"You people are truly absurd, actually dreaming of dealing with him. Little did you know, long before you arrived, he was already sitting here sharing tea with Elder Lin!" Feng Sihai had never witnessed Elder Lin fly into such a rage in person. Seeing the father and son's current plight, a wave of secret satisfaction washed over him; they had truly taken a massive tumble this time.

Stripped of all arrogance, Lin Jingtao panicked completely and stammered, "Ye Tianlin, we didn't do it on purpose. If we had known your identity beforehand, we wouldn't have done this for the world, because it brings us not the slightest benefit."

"Didn't you know about this in advance? The whole business between the Dowager and me caused such a huge uproar earlier. Are you telling me you were completely in the dark?" Ye Tianlin said calmly.

"I... I..." Lin Jingtao was choked speechless, his face turning the color of a pig's liver.

"It was my fault before. I'm apologizing to you right now, and I guarantee something like this will never happen again!" Lin Kaiyang cowered like a quail, trembling with fear.

Ye Tianlin stated bluntly, "Just as you said a moment ago, apologizing and admitting your mistakes is entirely useless."

With his mind in absolute turmoil, Lin Jingtao had no choice but to bite the bullet. Trembling all over, he walked up to Elder Lin and quavered, "Elder, Kaiyang is your grandson after all. Now that such a huge incident has occurred, I know you must be furious, but there has to be a proper resolution to this."

"You still want a proper resolution? It's already a miracle I haven't stripped the skin off your back! If you hadn't condoned him again and again, could Lin Kaiyang have become such a scoundrel?" Elder Lin was consumed by fury. Raising his hand, he delivered a fierce, heavy slap.

With a sharp crack, Lin Jingtao slumped to the ground, his face drained of all color, not even daring to let out a peep.

Thud.

"Grandfather, I know I was wrong! Please calm your anger!" Lin Kaiyang dropped to his knees, tears streaming down his face.

"Don't pull that nonsense with me! I wish I could beat you to death!" Without a shred of mercy, Elder Lin lashed out with a kick squarely to Lin Kaiyang's face, sending him rolling across the floor as a torrent of blood spewed from his nose.

Wincing in agony, Lin Kaiyang rolled all the way to Ye Tianlin's feet. To his surprise, Ye Tianlin slowly reached down, pulled him up to his feet, and smiled, "Elder Lin, you can't beat him to death. Otherwise, how am I supposed to help you discipline him?"

"Discipline? What discipline?" Lin Kaiyang asked, deeply stunned.

Elder Lin smoothed his expression before saying, "Starting tomorrow, you are assigned to the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce. You must obey all instructions unconditionally and submit to discipline. You will do whatever Ye Tianlin tells you to do. If you dare disobey, don't ever come back to see me for the rest of your life!"

Lin Jingtao hurriedly pleaded, "Elder, how can you make Kaiyang do such a thing? If word gets out, won't people laugh at us? How humiliating is that?"

"This bastard is already a joke; what face is left to lose? And you, the instigator of all this, what qualification do you have to speak in my presence? Shut your damn mouth!" Elder Lin snapped with an unchallengeable, furious expression.

"Grandfather, please, no! If they send me to the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce, Ye Tianlin will probably close the doors and beat me half to death within minutes!" Lin Kaiyang was so terrified he nearly wet his pants. He figured that once he entered Ye Tianlin's territory, his cries to heaven would go unheard and his pleas to earth would go unanswered!

Elder Lin roared, "Beat you half to death? Then you'll just have to endure and take it! Even if Ye Tianlin tells you to eat shit, you will swallow every last bit of it for me!"
