Chapter Twenty-Two

  Li Jin involuntarily shuddered.

  No, absolutely cannot make things bigger...

  Li Jing subconsciously retreated, but his wrist was tightly controlled by Shu Mu, unable to move.

  No, absolutely can't let President Wei know I snuck in...

  He helplessly looked around, and since the beginning, there had been prying eyes focused on him. The people present maintained their dignity and would not gather to watch like ordinary people, but everyone was curious, let alone that Shu Mu's expression changed, even disregarding everything, tightly grasping his arm.

  It's obvious that there is a dispute between the two of them.

  So there's no need to go on stage at all, just let Shu Mu shout loudly now, everyone's attention will be focused, and his own scam will also be exposed on the spot.

  But his own ending...

  Li Jin struggled up in despair.

  It's simply contemptuous of the Wei family's security measures, and also reflects the Wei family's incompetence from another angle. How could the Wei family allow someone to humiliate them in front of so many celebrities?

  What's more, this was a banquet held for Miss Wei, the young lady of the wealthy Wei family.

  "Shu Mu, let me go..." Li Jin was really scared, and even he himself didn't know that his voice would tremble like this. "Let me go, I'll leave right away..."

  "I told you, you only have two choices." Shu Mu sneered with a smile, who would know that behind this beautiful smile, there was a hidden killing intent. "However, it seems like you chose the second one."

  Her wrist hurt as Li Jin was pulled by him towards the stage.

  "Mr. Shu." Just as he was about to make his move, a voice like music from heaven suddenly sounded from behind him, "Please stay where you are."

  Shu Mu furrowed his brow and stopped in his tracks, turning around.

  "Lin Xin." He sneered, revealing Lin's identity, his eyes scanning her body three times, lazily glancing at the person beside her, "Mr. Li."

  Li Yiheng nodded slightly, as if they had met before.

  Li Jin did not expect that the person he had been searching for would appear at this critical moment. For a while, he was grateful to him for relieving the siege, but also blamed him for coming out at the wrong time, feeling ashamed and wanting to find a place to hide. But with no one around, he couldn't hide behind Sumu, so he could only stand there with his hands and feet tied up, looking like a big fool.

  "Let him go." Li Yiheng's gaze was calm and collected, without looking at Li Jin even once since he appeared, yet suddenly spoke up.

  Shu Mu let out a cold snort and instead pulled Li Jin closer: "This person crashed the banquet, I was just about to expose him to everyone."

  Li Yiheng glanced at him faintly: "I advise you, don't make a big deal out of this."

  "Why?" Shu Mu's words were sharp, "He wanted to ruin Mr. Wei's banquet, I discovered it in time and exposed him, what's wrong with that? Or is Mr. Li afraid of people knowing he snuck in? Ah, I remember now, last time you told me he was the cleaner you hired..."

  "Shu mu." Li Yiheng's speech was always moderate, but when he wanted to interrupt someone, that person would definitely not be able to continue speaking. "You expose him, and although you won't get any benefits, you will also be dragged into trouble by Wei Wenzhou. Wei Wenzhou is not a magnanimous person, and if you make a big deal out of this small matter, causing him to lose face in public, who knows whether he will retaliate against you in the future."

  It's not a big deal, but it's also not nothing. Shu Mu could have quietly called security to take Lei Jin away, but instead he made a scene in front of everyone, making it impossible for Wei Wen Zhou to show his face. In the end, he might be the one who ends up with no good outcome.

  This principle Shu Mo is not unclear, it's just that...

  "You think I'd be afraid?" Shu Mu sneered coldly.

  "Even if you're not afraid, I advise you not to try." Li Yiheng's expression was calm, but his words were sharp and piercing, "If Ke Yuan were still alive today, he would also advise you the same way."

  "Li Yiheng!" Shu Mu suddenly burst into rage. "What are you? What qualifications do you have to guess Ke Yuan's thoughts?"

  Li Jin was originally held tightly, but Shu Mu Sheng's anger got the better of him and he swung his arm fiercely, sending Li Jin flying towards Li Yi Heng like a weapon. The movement was so sudden that Li Jin didn't have time to steady himself, and he stumbled towards Li Yi Heng, almost crashing into him. Just as they were about to collide, a pair of hands firmly grasped his shoulders.

  Li Jing borrowed the strength of this pair of hands to stand firm, and before he could thank him, the next moment, a strong gust of wind came whistling continuously.

  Li Yiheng easily pulled him back and took a step back, avoiding Shu Mu.

  At this time, the security guards around had already sensed that something was amiss and swarmed over, crowding around Li Yiheng: "Mr. Li, do you need help?"

  But no one went to care about Shu Mu.

  No wonder, Shu Mu is just a star, but Li Yi Heng is a Mr. Li with a noble identity, and it's absolutely impossible to hurt a single hair on him.

  Li Jin looked up at Shu Mu, whose eyes were bloodshot, and his handsome face was distorted in a terrifying manner. A few punches had made the tie he had carefully tied earlier now crooked and askew, making him look disheveled and... pitiful.

  In the past, when Shu Mu went out to cause trouble and was taken away by the police for a "tea-drinking" session, Ke Yuan would always secretly bail him out. At the police station, seeing Shu Mu's injuries and bruises, Ke Yuan would scold him severely, warning him not to do it again, but Shu Mu would always glance at him sideways with a look of disdain, saying: "You think I'm afraid?"

  Yes, Shu Mu is a superstar of Tian Wang, he fears no one and dares to provoke anyone.

  But in the past, when he got into trouble, there were people who would follow him around and clean up after him. Now that he's gotten into trouble again, will anyone still risk everything, even sacrificing themselves, to help him clean up the mess?

  He was pitifully unaware and continued to be reckless, eventually offending Li Yiheng in public.

  It's called "you reap what you sow".

  Li Jin turned his head away, unwilling to see Shu Mu in this state. Beside him, Li Yi Heng also sighed helplessly and said to the people around him: "Everyone misunderstood, Mr. Shu Mu recently took on a new role as the male lead in a martial arts drama and was just showing me the fist technique he had just practiced."

  Show boxing?

  Everyone looked at each other in dismay, no one believed it.

  Mr. Ke's words were like gold and jade, which was beyond their reach. So the crowd flattered him a few times and quickly dispersed.

  "You want to fight with me? Let's go outside and find a place, don't make a scene here." Li Yiheng said slowly after the people had left.

  Shu Mu's eyes were gloomy, and he was not grateful: "Li Yi Heng, today's matter is temporarily considered my debt to you. How do you want me to repay it? Just draw a line, I won't refuse."

  After finishing speaking, he didn't look at them again and turned around to leave.

  Li Yiheng was speechless. He turned around, and with a glance at Li Jin standing behind him, he thought that all this chaos was caused by him, and it really made him angry. Seeing that he had been scared to the point of having a pale face and bloodless lips, his clothes dripping with champagne, he couldn't say anything for a long time. Finally, he let out a low sigh and said, "Don't do this again in the future."

  Li Jin nodded repeatedly, such a shocking and thrilling experience, even if he borrowed their courage again, he wouldn't dare to do it.

  His flustered appearance was a far cry from his previous arrogant demeanor, and Li Yiheng couldn't help but find it hilarious. He slightly raised the corner of his mouth and said to Lin Xin beside him, "Call the driver and have him send him back."

  Lin Xing nodded in agreement, but before he could even dial a number on his phone, someone interrupted him.

  "Wait a minute!" Li Jin raised his head, gazing steadily at Li Yiheng. Under the calm gaze, only those eyes shone brightly, making people reluctant to look away. "Is your driver's...driving skills up to par?"

  "Hmm." Li Yiheng smiled as he opened his lips, "A bit worse than me."

  Li Jin nodded and fell silent.

  "Lin Xing, wait a moment and help me apologize to Mr. Wei, just say I have something to attend to and leave first." After saying that, Li Yi Heng patted Lin Jin's shoulder and walked towards the door. Lin Jin smiled slightly and followed closely behind him.

  "Mr. Li!" Just after punching and shouting, Lin Xinsang was still calm and observing, but after this sentence came out, he lost his composure and ran up to him, "You can't miss today's wine party!"

  "Really?" Li Yiheng's footsteps paused for a moment. Behind him, Li Jin slightly raised his head and quietly looked at him.

  "Lin Xing, sorry." Nothing more needed to be said. Li Yi Heng shrugged his shoulders, smiled wryly and then resolutely turned around and left with Li Jin, disappearing out the door.
