However, at this critical moment, his body refused to obey, and he could only watch helplessly as Lin Beichen's fatal blow came closer and closer... He roared angrily in his heart, hoping his body would move, even just a little, just enough to avoid the critical spot. But no matter how much he struggled or shouted, his body wouldn't listen.
At this moment, the scene of himself being shattered flashed through Cai Xingyu's mind, and the fear in his heart reached its peak, "No! No! Don't do this! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! It's all my fault! Just think of me as a fart and let me go!"
He was so frightened that he trembled all over, his face turned pale, and tears and snot poured down. In the end, even his crotch became warm, and a pungent stench quickly spread—this young master from Gongcheng Paper Industry, this arrogant second-generation heir who had always been haughty due to his family background, was actually so scared that he wet himself!
Faced with Cai Xingyu's pleas and fear, Lin Beichen merely glanced at him coldly, a mocking curve appearing at the corner of his mouth.
He did not actually step down, but instead withdrew his foot and turned to leave.
For him, the lesson had been taught; there was no need to really claim a life.
However, this scene made everyone else even more in awe and fear—this seemingly ordinary poor kid had such powerful strength and courage!
They secretly rejoiced in their hearts that they hadn't provoked him, while they also felt deep respect and curiosity about Lin Beichen.
Suddenly, a deafening explosion blasted in their ears as Lin Beichen suddenly hit the brakes hard.
He lightly retracted his thunderous foot, his expression unchanged, looking down at Cai Xingyu with a playful smile: "Hey, wouldn't it have been better to be sensible earlier? Must you push me to act? Remember, I am a well-mannered person."
Under Lin Beichen's gaze, Cai Xingyu instinctively shrank his neck and trembled uncontrollably, as if he was alone in the wilderness facing a fierce tiger.
That kind of fear that penetrated to the bone almost swallowed up all his reason.
With a "thud", Cai Xingyu's legs went soft, and he directly knelt down in front of Lin Beichen.
He crawled to Lin Beichen's feet like a puppy, clinging tightly to his leg, crying loudly.
Tears and snot intertwined as if he were a child being scolded for being naughty—a "child" weighing over two hundred pounds and standing one meter seventy-eight tall.
"It's all my fault," Cai Xingyu sobbed, "I was blind, I was arrogant, I did bad things. I'm willing to compensate... one million, no, two million! I just beg you to have mercy and spare me."
After saying this, he kowtowed repeatedly to Lin Beichen, then clung tightly to Lin Beichen's thigh again, as if that could shield him from the impending punishment.
The surroundings fell into a dead silence.
Everyone was shocked by this unexpected scene, their eyes widening, mouths agape, staring at Lin Beichen and Cai Xingyu clinging tightly to his leg in astonishment.
They could hardly believe their eyes and ears, even wondering if they were dreaming.
After all, everything happening in front of them was simply too incredible.
Cai Xingyu, the young master of Gongcheng Paper Industry, was always known for being arrogant and domineering. Yet at this moment, not only was he kneeling and begging for mercy, he was in such a pitiful state. It was utterly preposterous!
Everyone was guessing, who exactly was this unassuming Lin Beichen, who dared to push the second-generation heir of Gongcheng Paper Industry to such a state? Where did his courage and audacity come from?
Just then, the sound of dense footsteps echoed, as over a dozen burly security guards filed in, quickly surrounding Cai Xingyu.
Next, a short, fat middle-aged man in a suit squeezed in.
He was panting and wiping sweat, just about to say something when he saw Cai Xingyu's miserable state.
His face instantly turned pale, and he rushed to Cai Xingyu's side in three steps, bending down respectfully, "Second Young Master, I'm sorry we're late."
This middle-aged man was trembling all over, silently lamenting in his heart.
He looked around, trying to identify the reckless person who dared lay hands on Cai Xingyu.
Who was this fearless guy, daring to be so ruthless towards the second-generation heir of the Cai Family? Was he not afraid of death?
However, when he raised his head and saw Lin Beichen's handsome face, he was struck as if by lightning and froze.
His vision went black, nearly fainting, with his heart crying out, "How could it be him?!"
His legs went weak, and he too knelt down, his face as white as paper as if he had seen a deceased loved one.
Then, under the bewildered gaze of the crowd, this man who had earlier portrayed the image of a big shot was wagging his tail pitifully at Lin Beichen like a dog: "Mr. Lin, I was blind to Mount Tai, and have offended you. I deserve to die, it's all my fault, I deserve to die!"
The surroundings once again fell into dead silence.
Everyone was dumbfounded, eyes wide, mouths agape, looking at this scene in disbelief.
They knew this restaurant manager, Yuan Laosan, was known for being cold-hearted and ruthless, backed by Gongcheng Paper Industry.
Yet at this moment, he kneeled without hesitation in front of a young man? That was simply crazy!
Not long ago, Yuan Laosan was clamoring to take down Lin Beichen, so why did he suddenly change his stance and lower his posture so drastically? What exactly was going on?
