Chapter 428: Apologize to Uncle Lin

Just hearing those four students made Fu Chengguang feel even more wronged, utterly miserable. He held back his tears and stayed silent. It wasn’t until Fu Feifeng strode over with heavy steps that Fu Chengguang finally let out a wailing cry, “Dad!”

Fu Chengguang ran forward, tears and snot flowing freely. He clung to Fu Feifeng and refused to let go, crying miserably and pitifully.

At first, Fu Feifeng didn’t even recognize Fu Chengguang. It wasn’t until that cry rang out that he noticed the swollen, pig-headed-looking figure was his own son. He was instantly shocked and furious.

“Chengguang, what the hell happened? Who dared to beat you like this?”

Fu Chengguang, sniffling and sobbing, cried out, “Dad, you have to avenge me! That bastard went too far. He actually hit my face and beat me up so badly. He’s right inside! You can’t let him off!”

“Get up first. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely avenge you.”

Fu Feifeng’s face darkened, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes. He pulled Fu Chengguang up from the ground and pushed aside the bodyguards blocking the way.

“Just where is the little punk who—”

But before he could finish speaking, his eyes landed on Lin Xiao, who was surrounded by a crowd of bodyguards, and his words abruptly stopped.

A look of surprise flashed across Fu Feifeng’s face, but it quickly faded as his expression turned cold and unreadable. He stared at Lin Xiao without speaking.

Lin Xiao calmly said, “Mr. Fu, we meet again.”

Fu Feifeng’s mouth twitched slightly, forcing a smile with difficulty. “So it’s you, Mr. Lin. I was wondering who it could be. Why aren’t you with Miss Wan today? What brings you to Guanglai High School?”

Fu Feifeng remembered Lin Xiao vividly.

Not long ago, at a charity banquet hosted by Liancheng, Lin Xiao had slapped Fu Feifeng across the face in front of numerous high-society figures. That incident was the most humiliating disgrace of Fu Feifeng’s life. It was something he would never forget.

After that event, Fu Feifeng investigated Lin Xiao, only to discover information that left him deeply unsettled. The idea of revenge vanished completely.

As someone well-connected in Jinghai, Fu Feifeng had access to considerable information. When he looked into Lin Xiao’s actions since arriving in Jinghai, he could find almost everything, and what he found utterly shocked him.

What Lin Xiao had done was beyond astonishing, far beyond Fu Feifeng’s imagination, forcing him to swallow his resentment and bury it deep in his heart.

Fu Feifeng thought he would never cross paths with Lin Xiao again. He never expected to encounter him here, and in this manner.

In a way, he and Fu Chengguang were truly father and son. Lin Xiao had taught them both a painful lesson.

At this moment, Fu Feifeng’s mood was beyond terrible.

Fu Chengguang, however, was clueless about the burden weighing on his father’s heart. Hiding behind the bodyguards, he gnashed his teeth and said, “Dad, why waste words with him? Just have someone beat him up! Let him know what happens when you mess with the Fu family!”

“Shut up!” Fu Feifeng suddenly turned and roared.

Fu Chengguang froze, stunned that his usually doting father would snap at him. He looked at Fu Feifeng, then at Lin Xiao, back and forth several times, and finally sensed that something was off.

His father… seemed afraid of this guy.

Realizing this, a look of terror flickered in Fu Chengguang’s eyes. He clamped his mouth shut and didn’t dare utter another word.

He wasn’t an idiot. If even his father feared and respected someone, then that person was absolutely not someone he could afford to provoke.

Fu Chengguang deeply regretted everything. He even felt like slapping himself a few times.

“Mr. Fu, gathering such a formation… could it be you’re here to avenge your son?” Lin Xiao looked around. Though surrounded by more than ten bodyguards, he was calm and composed. “As for why I’m here at this school, you don’t need to know, and you’re not entitled to know.”

Fu Feifeng had indeed considered teaching Lin Xiao a lesson. After all, Fu Chengguang was his only son, spoiled since birth. He’d never been wronged a day in his life. Now he’d been beaten into a pig’s head by Lin Xiao.

But when he remembered what he’d found in his investigation of Lin Xiao, Fu Feifeng quickly quashed the thought. He wasn’t ready to die yet.

“Mr. Lin, you must be joking. I didn’t realize it was you at first. Now that I know, this is all just a misunderstanding.”

Fu Feifeng, ever the businessman, had skin thicker than a wall. His tone flipped instantly into a smiling one, faster than a face change in opera.

“What are you all doing crowding around Mr. Lin? Back off, let me talk with him.”

The moment the employer spoke, the bodyguards who’d surrounded Lin Xiao quickly dispersed. The tense atmosphere dissipated.

After dismissing the guards, Fu Feifeng cautiously asked, “Mr. Lin, was it this unfilial son of mine who offended you? If so, just say the word, I’ll break both his legs.”

Fu Chengguang trembled and didn’t dare lift his head.

Lin Xiao was slightly surprised. He hadn’t expected Fu Feifeng to yield so easily.

Still, this outcome was preferable. At least it avoided causing a larger scene at the school. After all, he was here to accompany Yuan Yu to the sports meet, not to get into a fight.

“Mr. Fu, I’ve already handled the matter with your son,” Lin Xiao said, giving Fu Chengguang a deep look. “I imagine he won’t forget my warning.”

Fu Feifeng let out a long sigh of relief. Lin Xiao’s words clearly meant he didn’t plan to pursue the issue further, and a weight lifted from Fu Feifeng’s chest.

“Fu Chengguang! Get out here,” Fu Feifeng bellowed. “Apologize to your Uncle Lin.”

“Uncle Lin?”

Fu Chengguang looked at Lin Xiao, who didn’t seem much older than him, and hesitated. But he wasn’t stupid. Someone who could make his father nervous wasn’t someone he could afford to offend.

His expression quickly turned firm. He ran out from the crowd, bent forward, and bowed deeply. “Uncle Lin, I’m sorry. I remember your warning clearly. I promise I won’t make the same mistake again.”

Hearing Fu Chengguang’s apology, especially that unsolicited honorific, Lin Xiao couldn’t help but find it amusing.

But he had already taught Fu Chengguang a lesson, and now that they were at school, he didn’t feel like making a big deal of it.

“Let’s end the matter here.”

Lin Xiao nodded to Fu Feifeng and turned to leave the basketball court.

Once Lin Xiao’s figure had completely vanished, Fu Feifeng suddenly turned and slapped Fu Chengguang hard on the head. “Now tell me exactly what happened today. Every last detail. No lies, no omissions.”

Fu Chengguang, feeling wronged, said, “Dad, why’d you hit me? Didn’t we just resolve everything? Besides, I got slapped twice! My face is ruined…”

“Hurry up. Don’t stall.” Fu Feifeng’s expression turned serious. “Do you have any idea how dangerous that man is? He may look ordinary on the surface, but he’s a ruthless killer underneath.”

Fu Chengguang was frightened by his father’s words and obediently recounted everything that had happened with Lin Xiao.

When Fu Feifeng finished listening, cold sweat broke out all over him. He slapped Fu Chengguang again and shouted, “Do you realize you nearly brought disaster to our entire family? You’re not going back to Guanglai High. Transfer schools immediately.”
