"No... no..."
Brother Li shook his head repeatedly, his eyes fixed on Evan Lin, full of fear.
Faye Zheng was also in shock, never expecting Evan Lin to be this strong.
Before, at the Bainanshan Villa, Evan just used a chair leg to beat Brother Li and his crew. But now, without even a chair leg, he actually used Brother Li himself as a club!
"What are you trying to do? This is Oceanport, not your Bainanshan!"
Faye Zheng heard Evan’s words and saw Brother Li’s terrified look. Her heart tightened and she quickly snapped: "It was all just a misunderstanding! Put my senior brother down now, before things get out of hand!"
"A misunderstanding?" Evan glanced at Faye Zheng and sneered. "A fine misunderstanding. When I was surrounded by them just now, why didn’t you say it was a misunderstanding?"
"If you losers weren’t so weak, and I was the one beaten to the ground, would you still call it a misunderstanding?"
"Faye Zheng, oh Faye Zheng, you keep stirring things up from the sidelines. I haven’t touched you yet—do you really think I don’t hit women, so you can do whatever you want?"
Evan narrowed his eyes at Faye Zheng, his voice cold: "How about I call someone over right now to slap you a few times? What do you think?"
Faye Zheng’s expression changed slightly. She gritted her teeth, "You wouldn’t dare!"
"Evan Lin, no matter what, I’m still your older cousin! And this is Oceanport, not your Bainanshan!"
She snapped, "In all of Oceanport, I’d like to see who dares touch me! Even my parents wouldn’t lay a finger on me! Who do you think you are?"
"You’re just a country bumpkin who came to the city hoping to mooch off our Zheng family!"
Faye Zheng looked at Evan Lin with nothing but contempt in her eyes.
She’d been to Evan’s house before and seen that big villa, but just like Pan Gong told Zheng Caiyun, that villa was probably just rented by Zheng Jiayun to show off.
This kind of move really made Faye Zheng look down on him.
Faye’s words were full of anger; she felt deeply insulted.
"Then let’s try it." Evan nodded and turned his gaze beyond the crowd.
Just then, he happened to spot Yvonne Zhu and Bryce Gu walking out from the station exit.
"You, come here a moment."
Evan spoke calmly in the direction of the station exit.
His voice wasn’t loud, but it carried a piercing force.
"Miss."
Bryce Gu, standing beside Yvonne Zhu, was startled by the voice and quickly looked over.
When he saw Evan Lin standing there, his face froze for a moment. He lowered his voice and called out to the still-preoccupied Yvonne Zhu.
"What?"
Yvonne Zhu snapped out of her thoughts and glanced over. When she saw Evan Lin standing there, her pretty face froze.
Faye Zheng and the others followed Evan’s gaze. When they saw Yvonne Zhu and Bryce Gu standing there, their expressions turned strange.
"Are you crazy? Do you even know who that is?"
"You actually dare call her over? Damn, that's gutsy!"
"That guy next to her is Yvonne Zhu’s personal bodyguard, Bryce Gu! This idiot’s in for a show!"
The guys Evan had just flattened on the ground saw him call out to Yvonne Zhu and Bryce Gu. They immediately started laughing, their pain seeming to fade away.
"Are you the birthday star looking for trouble?"
Faye Zheng saw Yvonne Zhu and Bryce Gu, paused, then gave a cold laugh.
Evan watched Yvonne Zhu, who quickly walked over, with Bryce Gu following closely, his steps steady.
When they first exited the station, Bryce Gu noticed a bunch of rich kids knocked down here. He thought it was just a normal fight and didn’t pay much attention.
But he hadn’t expected that Master Lin from Seacrest was actually here!
As Yvonne Zhu and Bryce Gu walked over, Faye Zheng and the others grinned even wider.
They thought Evan was tough, but could he really be tougher than Bryce Gu?
What a joke!
"Yvonne, long time no see!"
A man struggled to his feet, forced a smile, and tried to chat up Yvonne Zhu as she walked by.
But Yvonne Zhu didn’t even glance at him, walking straight past and leaving him thoroughly embarrassed.
But with the Zhu family’s background, she had no interest in these rich kids who only had money. He didn’t even have the right to be angry.
"Yvonne, what a coincidence running into you here."
Faye Zheng smiled at Yvonne Zhu as she walked over.
Yvonne Zhu’s attention was all on Evan Lin. Only when she heard Faye Zheng’s voice did she glance at her.
The Zhu and Zheng families were just acquaintances, running in the same circles. The Zhengs were a bit stronger than most big families.
Yvonne Zhu nodded slightly, greeting Faye Zheng: "It’s been a while. You’re still as pretty as ever."
After greeting, Yvonne Zhu turned her head to Evan Lin, her eyes filled with hesitation and excitement. "Were you just calling me?"
When Yvonne Zhu said this, her tone carried some doubt.
The last few times she’d seen Evan Lin—whether at the Beast Arena or the Moore Family Manor—he’d barely acknowledged her.
In Oceanport, countless people tried to get close to Yvonne Zhu, but Evan Lin never even looked her way. And with his identity as Master Lin from Seacrest, Yvonne couldn’t act like the usual Zhu family heiress around him.
Just now, when she heard Evan call out to her, Yvonne was actually a little delighted inside.
"Miss Zhu, that country bumpkin is bad news! You’d better stay away from him! He’ll try to mess with you!" someone shouted.
"Yeah! He’s just a thug, always starting fights! He’s no good—stay away for your own safety!"
"You should get your bodyguard to beat him up! Best send him straight to the hospital!"
The rich kids lying on the ground all chimed in, eager to see Bryce Gu beat Evan down.
Bryce Gu stood beside Yvonne Zhu, looking at Evan Lin with a gentle expression, completely ignoring the crowd’s chatter.
Yvonne Zhu frowned slightly and glanced at the crowd, her eyes showing clear disgust.
With all these people blocking the way in their luxury cars, none of them looked like decent folks.
"Yes, I’m calling you. I need a favor."
Evan nodded, his tone calm. "If it’s inconvenient, you can just walk away."
