Watching this scene, the crowd buzzed with speculation, unsure of what had happened at the private club.

Seeing the Long Family guard continuously slapping his own face, the private club's doorman and Lu Qiu's female companion were startled.

Such punishment was too cruel; it was like treating oneself without any regard for life!

This also indicated that the Mister Lin mentioned by Young Master Lu Qiu and Young Master Long was no ordinary individual; his identity must be quite distinguished.

"When did such a person emerge in Capital City? How come I didn't know?" The two were filled with doubt.

The ten slaps were quickly administered, and by then, the Long Family's gate guards had red faces and ears, a stark contrast to their previous demeanor.

"Brother Lin! Now that the punishment is over, may I enter?" Long Tengyu asked with curiosity.

"You may!" Lin Yifan replied coldly, then turned and walked into the private club with a swagger.

Throughout the entire process, he ignored the Long Family gate guards completely, exuding immense authority and power.

The Long Family gate guards bowed their heads one after another, respectfully and fearfully letting Lin Yifan in, without showing any temper.

Lu Qiu's female companion was greatly shocked by such treatment. Even Lu Qiu's private chamber didn't have that, it was truly unbelievable.

Seeing Lin Yifan walking with his head held high, Long Tengyu felt displeased; but since he was actively seeking to build a relationship with another, he ought to maintain a low profile and show respect.

All the way, Long Tengyu carefully escorted and guided Lin Yifan, being extremely ingratiating.

Lin Yifan had never been fond of such obsequious behavior, aware that enjoying such treatment often meant having to reciprocate; if it weren't for wanting to see Tang Jing, he really wouldn't have wanted to owe anyone any favors.

Taking the elevator, they quickly arrived at the floor where the party was being held.

The party was lively; as Lin Yifan exited the elevator, he could hear laughter, the clinking of wine glasses, and loud music.

"Please, Brother Lin!"

Long Tengyu continued to lead the way for Lin Yifan, ensuring his complete safety throughout.

"Has Zhao Yi arrived yet?"

After being silent for so long, Lin Yifan finally asked that question.

If Zhao Yi hadn't come, he would feel his presence here was superfluous; thus, the question was important.

Long Tengyu hesitated for a moment before falling into silent contemplation.

He had heard about the incident involving Zhao Yi's younger brother, Zhao Hong, some days ago.

Zhao Hong had been crippled by Lin Yifan for attempting to rape Lin Yifan's sister, and Zhao Yi was known to be extremely protective of his younger brother; he didn't know if the two had already become enemies.

If they had become enemies, then his twenty-eighth birthday party tonight might get ruined.

Therefore, to prevent this from happening, it seemed better to understand the situation first; so he asked, "Brother Lin, do you have a conflict with Zhao Yi?"

"No, I was just asking out of curiosity!" Lin Yifan replied.

So far, Zhao Hong's elder brother Zhao Yi had not come to him with any trouble, so they didn't consider each other enemies; however, that might change after tonight.

Relieved by the response, Long Tengyu sighed; fortunately, the two didn't have a grudge, otherwise it would have been difficult for him to handle.

Calming himself, he answered Lin Yifan's previous question, "Brother Lin, Zhao Yi has arrived."

"Good that he has!" Lin Yifan responded indifferently, his face betraying no emotion.

It was precisely because of this that people felt uneasy.

Both Long Tengyu and Lu Qiu's private chamber sensed an air of tension, uncertain what Lin Yifan's four words meant. Were they going to come to blows, or was he plotting to doom the other party?

"Brother Lin! Could I ask you to promise me that no matter what happens later, you won't fight?" Long Tengyu requested.

"I'll try, but if he throws the first punch, then don't blame me for not showing you respect." Lin Yifan answered.

He felt that tonight there would inevitably be a confrontation with Zhao Yi, with the hatred for Zhao Hong possibly involved, as well as possibly for his fiancée Tang Jing.

Long Tengyu and Luoqiu Shaoge were quite anxious, feeling that these two would definitely come to blows tonight.

However, the situation was beyond their control, so they felt helpless and at a loss.

"Let's just hope they don't really start fighting!"

After prayer, Long Tengyu continued to lead Lin Yifan.

If he had to choose between the two, he would not hesitate to choose Lin Yifan; because Lin Yifan's value of utilization was greater.

Left turn, right turn, they arrived at the banquet hall's main entrance, where Long Tengyu pushed open the grand doors and led Lin Yifan into the banquet hall.

At this moment, many sons and daughters of high society were focused on this direction, eager to see who the big shot was that Long Tengyu himself had gone to meet.

When they saw the figure of Lin Yifan, they couldn't help but be surprised. For this was the Master of Chaos! Wherever he went, whoever he provoked, he simply did not regard these people as worthy of his attention.

"Why has Long Tengyu invited him? Is it because the banquet isn't exciting enough?"

"By doing this, he's simply not putting the Wei Family, Song Family, Tian Family, and Zhao Family in his eyes at all!"

"I have a feeling he's trying to use someone else to carry out his murder!"

"Why would you say that?"

"Don't you know that just a few days ago, this Master personally crippled Zhao Yi's brother Zhao Hong's Dantian? Now with Zhao Yi present, tell me what Zhao Yi would think after seeing Lin Yifan; if the two of them start fighting, who do you think would win?"

"Can't be! Brother Tengyu is usually so friendly, he shouldn't be so vicious!"

"You can know a person's face, but not their heart. Who knows what he's thinking."

...

The crowd was abuzz with conspiracy theories.

Hearing these idle remarks, Zhao Yi was extremely angry, having not expected Long Tengyu to be such a person.

However, Lin Yifan's coming was timely, and it was time for him to seek justice for his brother.

Tang Jing, standing by his side, stared blankly at the man who walked through the main doors, his demeanor graceful and his appearance distinguished, feeling a deep sense of familiarity.

"Who is he? Why does he look so familiar?"

Tang Jing was puzzled, and her heart, which had been in despair for many days, began to ripple for the first time.

Although everyone present feared him, she couldn't feel a hint of danger; this feeling was subtle, and she couldn't quite articulate it.

Lin Yifan kept looking around, searching for the figure of Tang Jing.

Suddenly, in a corner, he spotted Tang Jing in a beautiful dress.

In the instant their eyes met, a current of electricity surged through their emotions, sparking a mutual recognition.

"Why is he looking at me like that? Could it be..."

"It's been many years, and not only has your beauty not faded, but it has become even more radiant, wonderful!"

The eye contact was brief, but keen observers noticed something.

"Could it be that the Master of Chaos has taken a fancy to Zhao Yi's fiancée?"

"Now we're in for a good show."

"Hehe! There's a strong sense of provocation here!"

...

"Damn it! If he really dares to covet my fiancée, I'm going to fight it out with him!"

Zhao Yi was extremely angry in his heart.
