Liya, somewhat surprised, looks at Li Chan and says,
"Li Chan? What are you doing here?"
Just then, Hao, unable to hide his anger, calls some bodyguards and says in a loud voice,
"Security! Throw this boy out of here immediately!"
Hearing this, Li Chan's face turns shocked. He looks at everyone with a confused expression and says,
"Hey… but what have I done?"
The bodyguards, who until now were bowing and saluting him, now look at each other and whisper among themselves,
"Is this boy the Young Master?"
Then, two of them step forward and grab both of Li Chan's hands.
One of them says,
"Come on, kid, let's go outside."
Li Chan tries to free his hands and says angrily,
"Let me go!"
Then, looking at Hao, he shouts,
"Hao! I came here to buy a villa!"
Hearing this, Hao's face freezes in shock for a moment… but the next second, he bursts into loud laughter.
Holding his stomach, trying to control his laughter, he signals the bodyguards to stop with a raised hand.
Then, walking up to Li Chan, he says,
"You idiot! You're going to buy a villa!? Be thankful that a very important person is coming here today… otherwise, I'd have knocked all your teeth out!"
From behind, Liya also says angrily,
"Hao! Why are you listening to this poor guy? Throw him out!"
On the other side, at the head office of the Song Hao Group, Ten Hao was busy with his work.
Suddenly, loud noises and commotion from the corridor disturb his focus.
He mutters to himself,
"What's happening outside? What's all this noise about?"
P
Then he opens his laptop and presses a few buttons to turn on the security feed.
As the footage appears on the screen, he says softly,
"Looks like someone's causing trouble… it better be cleared up before the Young Master arrives."
But as soon as the CCTV footage comes up, the color drains from his face.
The screen shows two bodyguards holding Li Chan, and Hao grabbing his collar.
Ten Hao's hands let go of the laptop, and he stands up in panic.
In a state of alarm, he shouts,
"Hao! What have you done!?"
Meanwhile, back at the scene, Hao is still holding Li Chan's collar.
Suddenly, the sound of heavy footsteps is heard… and everyone turns toward the door.
The door swings open with a bang… and in walks Ten Hao with quick steps, fire in his eyes.
He shouts angrily,
"Hao, you scoundrel! Let go of the Young Master!!"
Hearing this, the color drains from Hao's face. He immediately releases Li Chan's collar and says in a flustered tone,
"Dad! This isn't the Young Master! This is Li Chan from our university!"
From behind, Liya quickly chimes in,
"Yes, Uncle! He and I are in the same class!"
Hearing this, Ten Hao falls completely silent for a few moments.
He walks slowly toward Hao.
The entire hallway becomes eerily quiet.
Even the air feels heavy.
Then, all of a sudden…
Ten Hao slaps his son hard across the face.
