CHAPTER 4 - PERHAPS THERE'S STILL A CHANCE
Uttering those words, several individuals closed in on Wang Lin, poised to strike.
"Brother Li, I can handle this kid by myself," declared a man behind Li Peng, a cruel grin on his lips. He continued, "Kid, you're about to..."
Before the man could finish his sentence, Wang Lin firmly grasped his fist, rendering it powerless.
This unexpected turn left the others utterly bewildered. The man had launched his punch with remarkable speed, indicating his martial prowess. They had anticipated Wang Lin being knocked down with a single blow, but to their astonishment, he effortlessly intercepted it.

"Kid, you've got some skills. I underestimated you," the man attempted to retract his fist but discovered that, no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free from Wang Lin's grip.
On the sidelines, Li Peng sensed the unfavorable situation and shouted, "Let's all attack together. Even if he's trained, can he take on all seven of us?"
Observing the others advancing towards him, Wang Lin applied slight force, propelling the man he held into Li Peng, causing him to tumble.
Wang Lin noticed that another man was about to join the brawl and called out, "Fatty, step back. I'll handle this on my own."
The remaining five individuals had already encircled Wang Lin, their fists aimed squarely at him.
However, Wang Lin wouldn't let them have their way. He gracefully shifted his body, deftly avoiding the attacks from all five.
Smack! Smack!...
Five distinct slaps resonated rapidly as Wang Lin delivered a resounding slap to each individual, sending them airborne and crashing to the ground, writhing in pain.
"Ouch! That hurts so much!"
The five men sprawled on the ground, sweat trickling down their faces as they grimaced in agony.

Just a moment ago, Wang Lin had channeled his hidden energy. As he delivered those resounding slaps, a surge of inner energy infiltrated their bodies, subjecting them to pain magnified tenfold.
"Ah! Help!"
"It's excruciating..."
"You used to torment me at work, and while it doesn't warrant death, consider this a harsh lesson. If you ever bully anyone again, don't blame me for not showing restraint!" Wang Lin declared angrily.
"Kid, aren't you afraid for your life?"
At that point, Li Peng also rose, threatening, "Do you believe I can make your life unbearable in Luo City?"
"Let me inform you, my cousin is connected to the Yang family. Cross me, and you cross the Yangs!"
"Now, if you apologize, I might contemplate letting you off or even allowing you to join me and enjoy the high life."
At the mention of the Yang family, Wang Lin's expression underwent an immediate change. It was Qin Xue, along with Yang Yang from the Yang family, who brutally beat him. That grudge remained vivid in his memory.
Now, Li Peng had invoked a member of the Yang family, practically inviting his downfall!
"Is the Yang family truly that formidable?" Wang Lin's tone turned glacial.
Once, he wouldn't dare to underestimate the Yang family like this. But now, facing only one member of the Yang clan, he didn't even consider them a threat.
Upon hearing Wang Lin's words, Li Peng suddenly burst into maniacal laughter, a wild cacophony that filled the room.

"Hahaha!"
"Kid, do you genuinely believe that a few martial arts moves make you impervious to the Yang family?"
"Don't forget, the company you work for now is the Yang family's tiniest subsidiary. Do you think you're in a position to challenge the Yangs?"
"Whether I can challenge them or not, you'll find out soon. For now, concern yourself with your fate!"
Faced with Li Peng's relentless provocations, Wang Lin had no intention of playing games any longer. He instantaneously appeared before Li Peng, his fist landing with force on the man's abdomen, sending him hurtling and crashing brutally into the wall.
Crash!
Li Peng sprawled on the ground, clutching his stomach in agony, attempting to scream but only managing muted groans.
"Kid, don't get too cocky. I've already placed a call. If you've got the guts, don't run..." The man flung away by Wang Lin earlier cried out in terror, fleeing without looking back.
He, too, had some martial skills, and witnessing the torment of the others made him realize that Wang Lin was no ordinary adversary. Hence, he chose to make a hasty exit.
"Please...spare me…"
Li Peng struggled to utter a few words from his mouth. By this point, he was in excruciating pain, almost losing consciousness.

"Brother Wang, Sir, Grandpa..."
"Please, spare us; it hurts so much."
Others also begged for mercy, with one person managing to painfully turn over and kneel on the ground, thud, thud, thud! Three resounding knocks.
Seeing this, Wang Lin approached him and gently pressed a point on the man's face, instantly relieving his agonizing expression. "Thank... thank you..."
Seeing that the man was fine, the others all knelt on the ground and knocked their heads three times in front of Wang Lin. "Grandpa, please, spare us..."
After releasing the acupoints of several people, Wang Lin turned to Li Peng, who had already fainted from the pain.
When Wang Lin had beaten Li Peng earlier, he had been more severe than with the others, causing a stronger sense of pain, leading to his loss of consciousness.

Wang Lin released Li Peng's acupoints and had the chubby man fetch a basin of cold water, which he then splashed on Li Peng's face to wake him up.
When Li Peng woke up, he glared at Wang Lin angrily. "Kid, you dared to hit me. Let me tell you, this isn't over!"
"Hehe, indeed, it's not over. They've all apologized with their heads, but you haven't," Wang Lin laughed.
"Don't push your luck!" Li Peng retorted.
"Oh? Do you want to taste my fist again?" Wang Lin sneered while clenching his fist in front of Li Peng.
Thud, thud, thud!
Remembering the pain he had just endured, Li Peng had no desire to experience it again. He immediately knelt, knocked his head three times, and stood up, intending to leave with his group.
"Hold on, isn't there something missing?" Wang Lin stopped Li Peng.
Smack! Smack! Smack!
Li Peng got three hard slaps on the face. His gaze was fierce as he stared at Wang Lin, saying in a deep voice, "Kid, I admit defeat today, but this isn't over."
"Let's go!" After saying that, he led his group away.
Outside a surgical room at the Luo First People's Hospital, a group of seven or eight people had gathered; all were members of the prominent Hong family, the foremost clan in Los Angeles.

Inside the operating room lay the elderly man Wang Lin had encountered, Mr. Hong Shiwenzheng. By his side was the young woman from before, Hong Ying, who happened to be his granddaughter.
After approximately an hour, the operating room door opened, and a doctor in his sixties emerged, shaking his head solemnly. He delivered the grim news, "Mr. Hong, Mrs. Hong, based on our examination, we can confirm that Mr. Hong has been poisoned, and it's the most challenging combination of toxins to treat."
"The toxins have now infiltrated his organs, and Mr. Hong's condition can only be sustained for three days unless the person responsible for the poisoning provides the antidote..."
The doctor's words hung heavy in the air, and everyone understood that without the antidote, Mr. Hong Shiwenzheng had a mere three days left to live.

"Grandfather, you're the most skilled physician in Luo city. I implore you, please save my father!" pleaded a middle-aged man, Hong Lin, who was not only Mr. Hong Shiwenzheng's eldest son but also Hong Ying's father.
With a sigh, the elderly physician, known as Grandfather Sun and also the president of the Luo Medical Association, admitted, "Ah, I'm afraid I'm powerless. Mr. Hong has been poisoned with a combination of toxins. If it hadn't fully erupted yet, there might have been a chance, but now, the toxins have spread throughout his body. It's beyond treatment..."
Now, even Grandfather Sun had declared no cure, leaving Mr. Hong Shiwenzheng with only three days to live.
"A combination of toxins?"
Suddenly, Hong Ying remembered the 'madman' in the park. "He claimed he could save him..."
"Dad, perhaps there's still hope for Grandfather. I know someone who might be able to save him!" Hong Ying exclaimed, her hope shining through. Though uncertain, it was their last resort now.
