To be honest, Fei Wu was really scared. Lin Ping was a desperate man who didn't consider the consequences of his actions and might very well kill him with an arrow.

He's the manager of Jinmanlou. If he openly kneels before Zhou Yezheng, he'll never be able to stand up straight again.

Furthermore, Lin Ping clearly doesn't want to repay the money, and going back in such a sorry state will surely lead to punishment.

"You brat, don't get cocky just because you have a crossbow. We outnumber you with our crossbow bolts, and you might not be able to kill us all!" Fei Wu finally showed some wit and immediately hid behind a servant, afraid that Lin Ping would be the first to kill him.

"Hmm, you're right. I'm just afraid that none of your subordinates are willing to be the first to step forward," Lin Ping continued with a cold laugh. He had studied the topic of human nature to some extent.

Lin Ping indeed only had six crossbow bolts, while Fei Wu had ten servants. If it came down to a fight to the bitter end, Lin Ping would still be at a disadvantage.

However, no one wanted to be the first to stick their neck out; what if they got killed?

"Come on, I'll make sure you get a hole in the ground," Lin Ping said sternly, his crossbow bolt constantly shifting direction. The burly men around him were so frightened that they raised their hands, not even feeling the pain when wooden sticks hit their feet.

This is the highest level of feigning innocence: intimidating several people with one's own power.

Lin Ping slowly approached Fei Wu, signaling the servants blocking his way to get out of the way, or else they would be shot with crossbow bolts. The man was quite sensible and sheepishly made way for Lin Ping.

"What do you want to do? You can't kill me, murder is illegal!" Fei Wu said in a trembling voice, already having a physical reaction from fear.

It is human nature to be afraid of death, and Fei Wu was no exception. How could he not be afraid when faced with the cold, sharp arrows?

"Don't worry, Boss Fei, I, Lin Wuqing, never kill anyone." Lin Ping smiled brightly, though his expression was somewhat sinister.

Upon hearing this, Fei Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he wasn't killed. As long as he could keep his life, he wouldn't have to worry about not having a chance to take revenge.

"Although I don't kill people, I can make you commit suicide! Do you understand what it feels like to be worse than dead?" Lin Ping's face instantly darkened, and with the help of his right eye, it was absolutely terrifying.

Fei Wu's legs went weak, and he was about to kneel down and beg for mercy from Zhou Yezheng as Lin Ping had instructed.

"We have no grudges against each other, why would you invite trouble?" Fei Wu forced himself to ask, hoping Lin Ping would know when to stop. Was it really worth offending Jin Manlou for the sake of the Zhou family?

"No enmity whatsoever, you call it no enmity whatsoever if you steal my woman right in front of me? Boss Fei, you have quite the nerve!" Lin Ping's words were chilling, and his crossbow was already pressed against Fei Wu's forehead.

"Young hero, spare me! Young hero, spare me! I didn't know Miss Zhou was your woman. I'll never dare to do it again!" Fei Wu pleaded, his eyes constantly glancing towards the door, as if waiting for something.

"Next time? I'm afraid you won't have that chance!" Lin Ping kicked Fei Wu to the ground and looked down at him, saying, "I'll give you one last chance. Kneel down and apologize to Boss Zhou right now."

Fei Wu was covered in cold sweat, like an ant on a hot pan, hoping that reinforcements would arrive soon.

Being trampled underfoot only means you're not as skilled as others, but kneeling down in front of someone is a matter of face, and that's Fei Wu's bottom line.

"Go ahead and kill me if you dare! I'm afraid you won't escape the punishment of the law." Fei Wu simply straightened his neck, making a face as if he was ready to die.

This guy isn't afraid of dying? Nobody believes that!

"Are you waiting for reinforcements?" Lin Ping said confidently, how could he not guess what Fei Wu was thinking?

Hearing this, Fei Wu broke out in a cold sweat. He never expected that Lin Ping was not only ruthless and vicious, but also almost demonic in his intelligence.

“That’s right. It won’t be long before the second-in-command arrives with his experts. Let’s see how long you can keep up your arrogance!” Fei Wu didn’t argue and answered coldly.

He's the manager of Jinmanlou, and he has ten servants with him. If he gets beaten up by a mere brat, how will he ever face anyone again?

"I'll say it again: kneel down, beg for mercy, and call me 'Grandpa' three times, and I'll consider breaking one of your legs!" Lin Ping ignored Fei Wu's threats and continued to beat him mercilessly.

"Haha, the second-in-command is here!" At that moment, Fei Wu laughed excitedly and shouted, "I'm here, second-in-command, save me!"

Just as Fei Wu said, Jin Manlou's second-in-command rushed over, accompanied by several sharp-eyed men, who were clearly all experts.

"Who dares to openly provoke Jin Manlou!" Jin Manlou's second-in-command said coldly, naturally not seeing Lin Ping with his back to him.

At the same time, a master had already taken to the air and forced Lin Ping back in a few moves. Rescuing Fei Wu was the priority.

"Run! You can't beat them!" Zhou Xiyin shouted hysterically, even forcibly breaking free from the enemy's restraints and grabbing Lin Ping's arm to run away.

"This woman is really stupid! If I leave, who will clean up this mess?" Lin Ping was speechless. He really didn't know what Zhou Xiyin's thought process was like. Even if she had some feelings for him, she couldn't possibly push the Lin family into a fire pit.

As it turns out, daughters are like birds that cannot stay at home forever; sooner or later, they will turn their backs on you.

While verbally calling Zhou Xiyin an idiot, Lin Ping was actually moved, which further strengthened his resolve to help the Zhou family.

"Go? Where to go? Will they let me go?" Lin Ping said helplessly.

Zhou Xiyin knew the situation was bad, so she stood protectively in front of Lin Ping and shouted, "Don't come any closer! If you dare to hurt him, I'll die right here!"

Threatening suicide? This woman is out of her mind!

Even if he died, it would be considered suicide, and Fei Wu would not be subject to legal punishment.

However, Jin Manlou's second-in-command was frightened, his face turned pale, and even his voice trembled: "Stop! All of you, back down!"

"This works too?" Even Zhou Xiyin herself was a little doubtful after seeing this. Could it be that her charm had become so great that it could influence the course of the battle?

"Second Master, kill this brat quickly!" Fei Wu took the opportunity to hide behind the man and added fuel to the fire, saying, "This brat not only beat me up, but also threatened to turn Jin Manlou upside down."

"Hit you? I think that was too lenient!" Jin Manlou's second-in-command stepped forward and slapped Fei Wu, knocking out his front tooth. He said sternly, "You'd better do as Young Master Lin says, or I can't protect you!"

Fei Wu was completely dumbfounded, covering his burning cheek and staring at the second-in-command in confusion, thinking he had mistaken the person for someone else.

That doesn't make sense. We're all on the same side, why are you siding with outsiders?

"Young Master Lin, what do you think?" Jin Manlou's second-in-command said obsequiously to Lin Ping. He had already figured out Lin Ping's identity the moment the other party started talking to Zhou Xiyin.

"Boss Tian, ​​how have you been?" Lin Ping turned around with a smile. Who else could it be but Tian Duoduo?
