Chapter 2552: Chapter 2553: Fearless and Confident

Lin Yi’s expression remained unmoved.

He had only been here for less than a day, yet something like this had already happened. It wasn’t too difficult to guess who had done it.

Lin Yi smiled and shook his head, showing no sign of anger, but instead found it quite amusing.

Scrapping like this was as childish as kids playing house.

Lin Yi didn’t get angry. He turned around, walked out of the underground parking garage, hailed a cab, and headed to CITIC Group.

“Aunt Shen.”

Lin Yi smoothly found Shen Shuyi’s office. She was currently talking to her secretary, apparently arranging something.

Shen Shuyi didn’t treat Lin Yi as an outsider. She tilted her chin toward him, signaling for Lin Yi to wait on the sofa for a moment.

About ten minutes later, Shen Shuyi finished dealing with her work and approached Lin Yi.

“How’s Mi Li?”

“She’s doing well. She’s already started exercising.”

“The Liang family people—she hasn’t fallen ill once in all these years.” Shen Shuyi chuckled and said:

“Unlike me. After I had her, it took me over a year to recover.”

Lin Yi smiled and nodded. “Indeed, the recovery speed is faster than I imagined.”

“Come with me. The things are in my car. I’ll get someone to move them to your car.”

“My car was smashed up. Aunt Shen, you’ll need to sort out another car for me.”

“Hm? Smashed up?”

Shen Shuyi paused. “What kind of person would be so bold as to smash up your car?”

“Just some small-time thugs. I’ll deal with them myself when I have time.”

“Alright, handle it yourself. The company has other cars. I’ll prepare one for you.”

Afterward, the two went downstairs together. Inside the trunk of Shen Shuyi’s car were over a dozen crates of fruit, simply packed in ordinary white foam boxes.

But the contents weren’t something ordinary folks could come by.

Lin Yi compared them to the fruits he had grown himself back in the day—they were practically on par.

“She can’t eat this much anyway. I’ll drop off some at home and keep a little for ourselves.”

“We already have some at home. Just take these back with you.” Shen Shuyi glanced at her watch. “Hurry up. I promised your mom I’d go shopping with her later.”

Lin Yi smiled wryly, then got to work.

One crate at a time, Lin Yi loaded everything into the new car, exchanged a few words with Shen Shuyi, and drove back to the postpartum care center.

Seeing the Alfa that had been smashed up, Lin Yi decided to deal with the culprits after finishing with the crates.

Even though none of the crates were large, there were over a dozen, so Lin Yi divided them into two trips.

On the second trip down, as soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he heard the clang of metal smashing things.

Walking forward a few steps, he saw four people wielding iron rods, smashing the BMW X5 he had just driven back into an unrecognizable state. The glass was completely shattered.

The leader was none other than Wu Xiang, who had previously had a confrontation with Lin Yi.

“Stop for a moment.”

Seeing Lin Yi approach, Wu Xiang called out, gesturing for the others to pause.

All four turned to look at Lin Yi.

“Oh, how coincidental.”

Wu Xiang lit a cigarette, looking at Lin Yi with smug arrogance.

“Smashing one car might be excusable, but coming back for more—this seems a bit excessive, don’t you think?”

“This is our rule. You, as an outsider, obviously don’t understand it, so we’re teaching you.”

“But you should know, we’re in a society governed by law now. Damaging property means you’ll have to pay for it.”

“Pay for it?”

Upon hearing Lin Yi’s words, Wu Xiang reacted as though he’d heard the funniest joke ever. The group laughed uncontrollably, almost unable to breathe.

“Go ahead, call the police right now. Make the call, I’ll see if anyone comes to take care of you.”

“From the sound of it, even if I call the police, it might not lead to anything.”

“That’s not exactly what I mean,” Wu Xiang said:

“But even if you do, it’ll just go through the motions. We’ve got people everywhere. If you’re not afraid your family might get hurt, go ahead—make the call. We won’t run; we’ll just wait here.”

“In that case, calling the police would be meaningless.”

Wu Xiang dusted off his cigarette ash, still flaunting his arrogance, and said:

“Since you caught us in the act, we won’t bother pretending anymore. Smashing your car today is a warning. If you don’t move out before midnight tonight, we can’t say for sure what might happen tomorrow.”

Lin Yi smiled, showing no signs of panic.

“I’ve already moved in. Leaving isn’t an option.”

“Then wait and see. This is just the beginning—we’ll keep playing.”

Wu Xiang tossed his cigarette to the ground. “Alright, let’s go drink.”

The others responded with a shout, grabbing their iron rods and walking away.

But as they passed Lin Yi, he said in a low voice:

“You smashed my cars and expect to leave so easily?”

Wu Xiang stopped in his tracks. “What, you think you’re going to make me pay for it?”

Smack!

Lin Yi didn’t waste any time. He slapped Wu Xiang across the face, sending him sprawling on the ground. Two of his molars flew out, and his mouth was full of blood.

The others froze, shocked that Lin Yi had actually dared to strike.

“Brother Xiang!”

Someone rushed over to help Wu Xiang up.

Wu Xiang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, showing no fear, only a more sinister expression.

“Kid, not bad. No wonder you’re bold enough to go up against Brother Tao. Let’s have a proper fight today.”

As he spoke, Wu Xiang waved his hand. “Get him!”

The four charged at Lin Yi with iron rods!

Lin Yi sighed, clearly exasperated.

Casually raising his hand, he caught one of the iron rods mid-swing, gripped it firmly, and wrenched it away!

Bam!

Holding the iron rod, he delivered a solid blow to one person’s head.

The man let out a scream, blood flowing extensively, and collapsed to the ground, unable to get up!

Upon seeing their companion down, Wu Xiang and the other two grew even fiercer—they clearly intended to kill Lin Yi.

But none of this mattered in front of Lin Yi.

Lin Yi swung the iron rod, striking Wu Xiang’s leg!

A terrible scream echoed through the parking garage as Wu Xiang clutched at his leg, howling in pain.

Watching this, the other two finally began to show fear.

They realized now that the man before them was not to be messed with.

Lin Yi didn’t give them much time to reconsider. With two swift blows, the other two were down as well.

“People like you really test my patience. Buy two identical cars for me by tomorrow, and this will be settled. Don’t bring unnecessary trouble onto yourselves.”

Lin Yi dropped the iron rod on the ground, the metallic clatter ringing through the silent parking lot, and then walked toward the smashed-up BMW X5.

Fortunately, they’d only destroyed the car; the crates of fruit inside were still intact.

Lin Yi carried the fruit as if nothing had happened, stepped past Wu Xiang and the others, and entered the elevator.

“Why’d it take you so long to come back?”

Seeing Lin Yi bring the fruit inside, Liang Ruoxu asked.

“Ran into some local thugs who smashed our car. I dealt with it.”

“They dared to smash our car?”

Lin Yi nodded lightly in response.

The maternity nurse Zhang Shuzhen looked worried.

“Principal Lin, it wouldn’t happen to be those guys from unit 1209, would it?”
