CHAPTER 42 - THE THIRD YOUNG MASTER OF THE ZHAO FAMILY
Hearing Wang Lin's bold statement, everyone in the Yun family was both shocked and puzzled. They wanted to ask more, but the question remained unspoken. The answer, they figured, might reveal itself that evening.
At 8 PM sharp, Wang Lin arrived at Hongxuan Restaurant. Yun Hong, Li Yueling, and Yun Qiao were already waiting for him at the entrance.
"Ha! Mr. Wang, you're here. Please, come inside," Yun Hong greeted him heartily, leading Wang Lin to the best private room on the third floor, the 'Heaven' room.
Once inside, Yun Hong called over a waiter and began ordering dishes. Wang Lin was indifferent to the menu, letting Yun Hong make the selections.
While waiting for the food, Yun Hong seized the opportunity to probe Wang Lin's plans for the Yang family.
"Mr. Wang, what did you mean by what you said this afternoon?"
Wang Lin sipped his tea and replied calmly, "Exactly what I said. Tonight marks the beginning of the Yang family's downfall."
A bit taken aback, Yun Hong chuckled awkwardly, unsure how to respond.
Just as the waiter started bringing in dishes, Yun Hong brought out two bottles of premium liquor and poured Wang Lin a cup.
"Mr. Wang, this is to thank you again for saving Yun Qiao."
Before Wang Lin could take a sip, the door to the private room burst open. A bold voice said, "I want to see who dares to take my private room!"
Wang Lin looked up to see a young man in his early twenties flanked by five or six others. The waiter, who had been pushed to the floor, lay sprawled on the ground.
"Is it you lot who dared to take my room? Don't you know this is my exclusive spot?" the young man shouted arrogantly.
"May I ask your name, young master?" Yun Hong asked, trying to contain his anger. This interruption had spoiled his plans to thank Wang Lin.

"Open your eyes wide, old man! I am Zhao Lijie, the third son of the Zhao family!" the young man boasted.
The mention of the Zhao family, one of the top five families, sent a wave of fear through Yun Hong. He was already struggling to stand against the Yang family, let alone the more powerful Zhao family.
"Ah, so you're the third son of the Zhao family. My apologies for taking your room. We were just leaving," Yun Hong said with a forced smile, trying to pull Wang Lin away.
However, Wang Lin didn't budge. Yun Hong whispered urgently in his ear, "Mr. Wang, the Zhao family is one of the top five. We can't afford to offend them."
"Let's switch to another room and continue our meal. Sorry for the inconvenience, Mr. Wang."
"This room is fine. No need to change," Wang Lin stated flatly.
"You deaf or something, kid? This room belongs to Zhao Lijie. Get out now!" one of Zhao Lijie's companions demanded aggressively.
"I've never heard of this 'third son of the Zhao family.' Is he supposed to be impressive?" Wang Lin asked, his face showing disdain. He didn't care about the Zhao family patriarch, let alone a mere third son.
"You're courting death!" Zhao Lijie snapped, enraged. In Luo City, aside from the Hong family and the other four prominent families, everyone else showed him respect. Now, he was being blatantly disregarded by a stranger.
"If you leave now, I'll pretend nothing happened," Wang Lin said coolly after taking a sip of his tea.
