"Y…Yide, what are you doing here?" Colton's voice trembled, unable to conceal the fear in his heart. His legs shook uncontrollably, like a candle flickering in the wind.
Lin Yide slowly approached, a seemingly gentle smile appearing on his face. But in Colton's eyes, it was a chilling smile, like that of a demon.
He said softly, "Baron Colton, our West Factory would like to invite you for a cup of tea. I trust that won't be too much trouble for you?"
Colton waved his hands repeatedly, a hint of a sob in his voice. "No… I won't go. I have a very important research project underway, and I can't leave."
Lin Yide sighed softly. "There's an old saying in Liyue: 'One does not appreciate a toast, only a forfeit.' Baron Colton, why force me to take action?"
With that, he suddenly stepped forward, his figure appearing before Colton like a ghost.
He kicked out, with the force of thunder, sending Colton flying several meters like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the solid desk.
Colton felt a sharp pain, as if all the bones in his body were about to shatter.
He groaned in agony, remnants of his lunch spilling from the corner of his mouth, staining his expensive clothes.
His vision blurred, and he almost fainted from the pain.
Then, to Helen's shock, Lin Yide effortlessly grabbed Colton by the collar, dragging him out of the office like a helpless animal, without any mercy.
Just as Lin Yide was about to leave the room, he suddenly turned around, his gaze falling on Helen. A seemingly gentle smile appeared on his face.
"Beautiful lady, when the time comes for court, would you be so kind as to testify?"
Although his tone sounded polite, Helen felt a chill run down her spine.
This seemingly gentle man was actually a ruthless character.
She nodded quickly and said, "I will definitely testify."
"Thank you!"
After saying that, he turned and left the office.
Soon, the news that Dean Colton had been dragged on the ground by Lin Yide spread rapidly throughout the Fontaine Research Institute.
Almost all the teachers and students stopped what they were doing to watch.
On the campus sidewalk, they witnessed a scene they would never forget.
Colton, who was usually arrogant and domineering, was now being dragged on the ground by Lin Yide without mercy, like a dead pig.
His clothes were covered in dust, his hair was disheveled, and his face was pale. His former dignity and arrogance were gone.
They had all heard of Yide's bad reputation, but most of them didn't take it seriously.
Now, seeing Lin Yide's actions with their own eyes, they truly felt the bone-chilling coldness.
Lin Yide's image instantly became several times more terrifying than the rumors.
Before long, Lin Yide had dragged Colton to the school gate.
Suddenly, an old man with white hair and a dignified appearance stepped forward, blocking his path.
The old man stared at Lin Yide, his voice revealing undisguised anger. "Yide, how dare you cause trouble here, openly arresting people! It's outrageous!
As the Dean of the Fontaine Research Institute, I demand that you release Colton immediately and offer him a sincere apology!"
Lin Yide sized him up. "So, you're Vice Dean Carter. How disrespectful of me. Releasing Colton is unlikely, but if you're really worried about his safety, you can come with me."
Carter was immediately enraged and shouted, "Yide, don't even think about taking Colton away! This is the Fontaine Research Institute, not a place where you can run wild!"
"Is that so?"
Lin Yide chuckled, then casually threw Colton on the ground and slowly walked towards Carter.
At the same time, a silver sword with a cold gleam suddenly appeared in Lin Yide's hand.
"What are you doing?" Carter's voice trembled noticeably. He tried to remain calm, but facing Lin Yide's approach and the terrifying silver sword, his heart was filled with panic.
A flash of cold light passed by, and Carter instinctively closed his eyes, his heart filled with fear and unease.
However, the expected pain did not come. Instead, he felt a strange chill in his lower body.
After a brief silence, a deafening burst of laughter erupted from the scene.
Carter opened his eyes in confusion, only to see that his pants had somehow slipped to the ground, exposing his two thin legs to everyone.
Even more embarrassing, he was wearing a pair of red lace women's underwear.
Carter's face turned red instantly. He was ashamed and angry, and hurriedly bent down to pull up his pants.
Lin Yide grinned and joked, "I never expected Vice Dean Carter to have such a hobby. It's truly an eye-opener." His tone was full of mockery and ridicule, making Carter feel even more humiliated.
Carter was now too ashamed to show his face. He pulled up his pants and tried to leave this place of disgrace as quickly as possible.
But in his panic, he accidentally tripped and fell again, and the red lace underwear was exposed again, causing an even louder burst of laughter.
Hearing the laughter outside, Carter felt his heart was about to break, and his dry eyes were filled with tears.
But Lin Yide did not forget his business.
He glanced back at Carter, a cold smile on his lips, and then dragged him away from the scene.
