"Mmm!"
Xun'er said, picking up her chopsticks. Although she was just beginning to learn how to use them and wasn't very steady, she had already eagerly reached for the sweet and sour pork ribs.
Luo Qinghan looked at the Gu family father and son sitting at the table. She felt as if she were dreaming.
Only Lin Xiao could command such an attitude from the Gu family father and son...
"Right."
As Lin Xiao picked up his chopsticks, he said, "Your Master Ma, he has too many cases on record. A few days ago, I had the Nether Doctor cure him and then sent him to the police station."
"Yes..."
Gu Hanyun trembled.
Master Ma had committed many offenses, but weren't most of them because of... Gu Hanyun?
"Why are you trembling?"
Lin Xiao continued eating. "Your father has been accumulating good deeds all these years to cover for you. What, are you scared now?"
"..."
Gu Qingyun's expression shifted upon hearing Lin Xiao's words. "Mr. Lin, do you mean that my son..."
"Don't rush,"
Lin Xiao gestured for the father and son not to worry. "We haven't decided to make trouble for your son yet. I haven't been to Modu for now, and you haven't really provoked me. I'm just reminding you. If, and I mean IF, an elder becomes displeased, your son will have only one outcome."
At these words, Gu Hanyun almost fell to his knees.
Lin Xiao's words had a hidden meaning!
Clearly, he was telling him that there was someone in a higher position who was displeased!
Not only was that person displeased, but they might even make a move against him...
Gu Qingyun glanced at his son, who was tightly gripping his wine glass. Finally, he put down the glass and slapped him.
"Useless!"
The slap dazed Gu Hanyun. He clutched his face. He had thought that after coming to apologize these past few days, and with Lin Xiao not having been overly harsh last time, he could get away with it...
Now it seemed that Lin Xiao wasn't being harsh because he didn't need to deal with this matter personally!
Someone else would naturally take care of it!
Xun'er, who was happily eating, was startled by Gu Qingyun's slap and immediately hid in Luo Qinghan's arms.
The slap seemed to awaken the fear within her.
In the past, before Lin Xiao returned, this slap... sometimes landed on her face, and many times, Luo Qinghan would shield her...
"Mama!"
Xun'er burst into tears.
Instantly, the temperature in the room dropped by several degrees. Lin Xiao, who had seemed amicable and detached from worldly affairs, put down his chopsticks.
He looked at Gu Qingyun. "You scared my daughter."
"I apologize."
Gu Qingyun's face turned pale, and his legs trembled.
He knew all too well the identity of the person before him and what that identity was capable of.
Even if Lin Xiao were to slit his throat in this room, no one would dare to say anything, and the Gu family could do nothing.
Even if he and his son were to die, the Gu family could do nothing.
He had the right and the ability.
"I've warned you twice, eat. If you don't understand, then you and your son get out of here." Lin Xiao beckoned, and the private room door opened. The two were flung out.
