Just as Song Yu was about to turn and leave, Shen Lang's voice sounded calmly behind him: "Stop."

"Huh?" Song Yu stopped in his tracks upon hearing Shen Lang's voice, turned to look at him, and asked, "Were you calling me?"

Shen Lang didn't say anything, but stood up and walked to Song Yu.

After undergoing a marrow cleansing process, Shen Lang was already 1.83 meters tall, standing half a head taller than Song Yu.

Shen Lang looked down at Song Yu and said in a domineering tone, "Who gave you permission to look at my people?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a hand flashed by.

With a loud "smack," Song Yu flew three meters away, his head slamming hard against a pillar in the cafeteria, leaving a bright red handprint on his left cheek.

Song Yu's head was buzzing from the impact, and it took him five seconds to come to his senses.

"Damn it, you dare hit me?" Song Yu glared at Shen Lang with a ferocious expression, then shouted to his henchmen, "What the hell are you waiting for? Beat him up!"

What he didn't know was that his henchmen were completely unable to move from where they stood.

"Damn it, you guys go get him!" Song Yu stood up and walked up to his henchmen, shouting angrily.

"Young Master Song, this kid is up to no good, we can't move him." One of the henchmen said in a trembling voice when he realized he couldn't move.

"Yes, Young Master Song, this kid is strange; we can't move him at all."

"Go to hell." Song Yu didn't believe it at all and kicked his henchman, but the recoil sent him flying again.

Only then did he realize that his followers were truly immobile, and that Shen Lang was a formidable opponent.

"Damn it, you just wait." Song Yu stood up, uttered a harsh threat, and then angrily fled the scene. His henchmen, however, remained standing there, unable to move.

"Let them go," Shen Lang said to Dong Xue.

"Yes, young master." Then Dongxue withdrew her aura.

The group felt the things binding them disappear, and then they eagerly followed Song Yu's footsteps, escaping the cafeteria.

Shen Lang walked over to Michelle and said, "In the future, if you encounter someone like this, don't be polite. Just beat him up, understand?"

Michelle nodded with a hint of grievance, then complained to Shen Lang, "Boss, this Song Yu is too cunning. I originally thought he was going to be my friend, and I treated him like a good friend before telling him about my background. But he actually betrayed me to the Mi family. That's why I have no source of income. He even said he would support me with 50,000 yuan a month, but I don't want his stinking money."

Michelle became more and more aggrieved as she spoke, unable to understand why someone she considered a good friend would betray her.

Shen Lang stroked Michelle's blonde hair and gently comforted her with a smile, "It's okay, the boss will support you openly from now on."

Although Michelle almost went astray, she is now his subordinate, and as a leader, he naturally needs to care for his subordinates.

Then he asked Dongxue, "Is there a Song family in X City?"

Dongxue shook her head and said, "Never heard of it."

Shen Lang frowned slightly at this moment, and then asked Mi Qi'er, "Is this Song Yu from X City?"

Michelle nodded and said, "He said his cousin is the eldest son of the Zhang family, but I don't know the specifics."

"Could it be that kid Zhang Chengyang?" Shen Lang chuckled. Among the prominent Zhang families in X City, only the Zhang Chengyang family is truly remarkable.

He then dialed Zhang Chengyang's cell phone.

"Brother Lang".

"Cheng Yang, do you know someone named Song Yu?" Shen Lang asked directly.

"Brother Lang, which Song Yu are you talking about?" Zhang Chengyang asked.

“Song Yu from USTC said he has a cousin who is the eldest son of the Zhang family,” Shen Lang said.

“Oh, he’s my cousin, my second uncle’s son,” Zhang Chengyang said.

Shen Lang laughed and said, "Your cousin really has a lot of influence; he even wants to keep one of my people as his mistress."

"Damn it, Brother Lang, where are you? I'm taking this bastard to apologize to you right now." Zhang Chengyang was furious. How dare they steal his boss's man?

Shen Lang sneered: "Your Zhang family certainly has a lot of influence."

"Brother Lang, let me explain. I've never been Song Yu's backer. It's all just that kid talking nonsense outside," Zhang Chengyang hurriedly said.

"Okay, I'll give you a chance. I'll be waiting for you on the USTC playground." Shen Lang hung up the phone immediately after saying that, not giving Zhang Chengyang a chance to speak.

He was determined to avenge Michelle; if he didn't retaliate when his own people were bullied, what kind of boss would he be?

Zhang Chengyang, who was at the company, immediately dialed Song Yu's number.

"Hey, cousin, how did you know I was being bullied? Come to USTC and help me, I've been beaten up!" Song Yu cried as soon as he answered the phone.

"Shut up!" Zhang Chengyang roared. "Song Yu, you think you're so tough now? What have you been doing at USTC using my name? You've messed with my boss, have you? Are you tired of living?"

"Ah!" Song Yu never expected that his cousin, who had always doted on him, would call and scold him.

"You wait for me at the school gate, and don't go anywhere else, or I'll break your legs." After cursing, Zhang Chengyang hung up the phone and hurriedly ran out of the office.

"Young Master, what's wrong? What happened that you're in such a hurry?"

"Perhaps the old man is sick again."

"Don't pry into the boss's business, just get to work."

"..."

Zhang Chengyang rushed to the entrance of the University of Science and Technology of China and saw Song Yu waiting for him with a group of lackeys.

After getting off the bus, Zhang Chengyang walked up to Song Yu and slapped him hard across the face.

"Tell me, how did you offend that person?" Zhang Chengyang asked coldly before Song Yu could speak.

"Damn, cousin, you actually hit me? I'm going to tell Auntie when I get back." Song Yu was clearly not scared by Zhang Chengyang, but rather annoyed by the slap.

Zhang Chengyang raised his hand and slapped her again, shouting, "Answer my question!"

Zhang Chengyang had always given people the impression of being refined, easy-going, sunny, and cheerful. This was the first time Song Yu had ever seen Zhang Chengyang angry. He covered his face and said tremblingly, "He...he was upset that I glanced at the woman next to him."

"That's all?" Zhang Chengyang asked. He knew Shen Lang wouldn't be so petty; this kid was definitely hiding something from him.

Then, recalling what Shen Lang had said on the phone, he asked, "Are you planning to keep a female student as a mistress?"

Song Yu covered his face and nodded, saying, "It's Mi Qi'er, the illegitimate daughter of the Mi family."

Then he told Zhang Chengyang about how he had informed the eldest wife of the Mi family and how he had forced Mi Qi'er to be his girlfriend.

"Heh, you're really something. Your Song family has produced a fine grandson, capable of using any underhanded means." Zhang Chengyang looked at Song Yu with a sinister gaze and sneered.

Zhang Chengyang hadn't forgotten how sweet the smile of the mixed-race girl named Michelle was when she left the bar last night.

"Cousin, she's just a mixed-race school beauty," Song Yu muttered unconvinced.

Zhang Chengyang reached out and pinched his cheek, saying slowly and deliberately, "Song Yu, you remember this: that man is my boss, understand? I'll take you to apologize to him later. You must get his forgiveness today, no matter what. If he doesn't forgive you, I will sever all ties with your Song family on behalf of the Zhang family. Do you understand?"
