A single, hard slap sent Huang Xingdong sprawling to the ground, screaming in agony. It was only because they were in a public place that Lin Xiao held back from a killing blow. Otherwise, that one slap would have been enough to make Huang Xingdong's head explode.

"Brother, what are you doing? Huang Xingdong just has a foul mouth. There's no need to get violent. This is Shengjing, not Jinling City!" Cheng Shaoshang's voice carried a hint of irritation, the implication being that this was his territory, not a place where Lin Xiao could run wild.
Lin Xiao laughed with disdain as he looked at Cheng Shaoshang's reproachful expression. "Isn't this just what you wanted?"
