CHAPTER 14 - CRITICAL SITUATION
Li Peng and Yang Zhen's agonized screams echoed throughout the mall, drawing a crowd of onlookers.
"What are you looking at?"
With a roar from Master Zhao, the crowd dispersed, shaken by his booming voice.

"Why?"
Filled with rage and confusion, Yang Zhen questioned as Master Qian snapped both of his arms. Sweat beads trickled down his forehead; he couldn't understand why the men he had hired had turned against him.
"We did it for your good," Master Qian explained briefly, "I will clarify things with our clan leader when we return."
"Sir, are you satisfied now?"
Master Zhao asked respectfully, having disabled Li Peng's hands as well.
"Mmm..." Wang Lin let out a soft hum and spoke slowly, "If there is a next time, there will be no mercy."
"Leave!"
"Thank you for sparing our lives!" Master Zhao and Master Qian bowed with a fist-in-palm salute before each grabbing one of the injured men and hastily exiting the scene.

Though they had broken Li Peng and Yang Zhen's arms, Wang Lin knew that with prompt medical attention, their limbs could still be reattached. He chose not to comment, for a true strongman doesn't concern himself with the fate of the insignificant.
"So, Wang Lin, you..."
Yu Xiangxiang was still in shock and seemed unsure how to proceed with her questioning.
"It's alright, let's settle the bill," Wang Lin said with a smile. He handed his card to the cashier, "Charge it to me."
He had received a million from Hong Lin last time and hadn't spent much since repaying his friend, so covering the cost of the 158,000-worth outfit wasn't an issue.
"Let me pay. You earn only a few thousand a month; it would take you years to save up for this," Yu Xiangxiang insisted. "Besides, I wanted to buy you the clothes. It wouldn't be right for you to pay."
"I don't want to be accused of being a freeloader," Wang Lin retorted a remark that silenced Yu Xiangxiang. She understood the stigma attached to that term, especially for men.

After settling the bill and checking the time, which read one in the afternoon, Yu Xiangxiang suggested, "How about we grab some lunch? The ball doesn't start until eight tonight."
They drove to an upscale restaurant and chose a corner table. After ordering a few dishes, they waited in silence.
"Wang Lin, when did you learn martial arts?"
After a long pause, Yu Xiangxiang finally asked, "Also, you dared to attack someone from the Yang family. Even my father won't be able to protect you if they come seeking revenge."
"Don't worry, I'll handle it myself," Wang Lin said nonchalantly.
If the Yang family did come for him, he wouldn't hesitate to teach them another lesson. However, he had no intention of resorting to lethal measures unless necessary.
"You'll handle it?"
"How will you handle it?"
"You think a little martial arts training makes you invincible?" Seeing Wang Lin's dismissive attitude ignited a spark of irritation in Yu Xiangxiang.
"Let's eat," Wang Lin replied, not wanting to prolong the discussion. He could see that Yu Xiangxiang cared for him; she had difficulty expressing it.

While enjoying their meal, Wang Lin suddenly heard crying and shouting. He looked up to see a woman near the wall on the other side, apparently distraught.
"Qingyi, what's wrong? Don't scare Mommy…"
Wang Lin saw a woman in her early thirties, elegantly dressed but crying hysterically. In her arms, she held a young girl, around seven or eight years old. The girl's face was pale, her body convulsing, and she was foaming at the mouth with traces of blood.
Setting down his chopsticks, Wang Lin quickly approached the woman and softly said, "Ma'am, please don't panic. Let me take a look."
Hearing his words, the woman looked up, her eyes brimming with tears. "Are you a doctor?"
"Close enough. Let me examine the child." With just one glance, Wang Lin discerned that the little girl was suffering from acute sepsis, accompanied by pulmonary hemorrhage.
The nearest hospital was twenty minutes away, and given the situation's urgency, there was no time to waste.
