Chapter 1031: Chapter 276: Pretty Boy, That’s Not How You Play It

"Follow me!" The sturdy man got off the car first, tidied up his clothes, and walked straight ahead.

Li Yan got off the car, watching the vehicles arriving one after another. Many men quickly got out, while there was no obvious hostility, they had already treated him as a target for precaution.

Accompanied by several men, Li Yan followed the sturdy man into the hotel.

This group of people were all burly men, standing out conspicuously among the guests. When they arrived at the elevator, no one dared to fight with them for the elevator, they filled the just-arrived elevator directly.

The elevator went all the way to the top floor, and then they surrounded Li Yan, arriving at the door of a luxurious suite.

"Go inside." The sturdy man said in a low voice, someone had already knocked on the door for him.

Moments later, someone inside opened the door.

The person opening the door was dressed similarly in a suit, only his expression was even colder than the others. He only showed a bit of respect to the sturdy man, ignoring everyone else.

After opening the door, the sturdy man walked inside and advised Li Yan in a low voice again: "Come in!"

The other men who came up together didn’t follow inside and dispersed.

Looking at this scene, Li Yan found it somewhat amusing. Those who had never seen the world would really be intimidated by them. But to him, this was simply child’s play.

Inside the guest room, besides the door opener standing at the entrance, eyes fixed on Li Yan, there was another person standing by the large floor-to-ceiling window looking at the city night view.

Upon entering, Li Yan remained relaxed, but he noticed the man who opened the door had a look of probing and provocation, different from the others’ focus on him—an intense gaze!

"Father, I’ve brought the man; this is Li Yan." The sturdy man approached the man by the window, reporting in a low voice, then stood respectfully beside him.

The man by the window continued gazing at the night outside, showing Li Yan only his back.

Arriving here, Li Yan felt something was not quite right with his suspicions. If the Liu family, or someone sent by them, wanted to interrogate him, they wouldn’t choose such a place. Hearing the sturdy man call that person ’father’ made it even stranger, as Liu Yuyang is an only child; at least this person wouldn’t be Liu Yuyang’s father.

The man didn’t turn around, and neither the sturdy man nor the man at the door intended to greet him. Li Yan didn’t stand obediently; instead, he walked over to the sofa and sat down, casually taking out a cigarette pack and lighting a cigarette indifferently.

His behavior attracted disapproving looks from the two men.

"So this is your father, huh?" Li Yan took a deep drag on his cigarette, slowly exhaled into the air, "Indeed, like father, like son, both a family with no manners."

The man still didn’t turn around, but the sturdy man and the doorman’s discontent escalated to a hint of anger.

"Who lacks manners?" The sturdy man sneered, stepping up to Li Yan: "Who let you sit down? Who allowed you to smoke?"

Li Yan chuckled, "Do I need your permission to sit? Do I need your approval to smoke?"

The sturdy man flew into a rage. Rarely had anyone shown such an attitude toward him, and ’old man’ particularly irritated him. Besides the different language habit, it sounded grating because his actual father was standing right there!

He flipped his jacket, pulled out a gun, and pointed it at Li Yan’s head!

"Extinguish the cigarette and stand up!" Though he usually doesn’t use the term ’old man,’ he felt compelled to repay Li Yan’s words to avoid losing ground.

His father seemed like a meditating monk, continuing to gaze at the night outside, as if deaf to the commotion behind him. Meanwhile, the man by the door hadn’t acted, nor showed a more significant reaction, only slightly bending his knees, ready to respond swiftly.

Li Yan turned his head, blew a puff of smoke at the sturdy man, and said with mild disdain, "Come closer, aim better, don’t let your hand tremble!"

Seeing Li Yan become even more dismissive after pulling out his gun, the sturdy man felt his anger fuelled, coldly switched off the safety, took two steps forward, and aimed the gun straight at Li Yan’s brow!

Li Yan, though, continued to calmly puff on his cigarette and blew another stronger puff of smoke at him!

The sturdy man was extremely annoyed, yet the gun was only meant to scare people, not for actual firing, which made his hand rise slightly, intending to knock Li Yan’s head to teach him a lesson.

But just at that moment, amidst the drifting smoke, he glimpsed Li Yan reaching over through the haze. Could it be he’s daring enough to counterattack in front of a gun?

He just wanted to utter a threat, but suddenly felt a pain in his wrist, and the gun was gone!

He snatched the gun away? The sturdy man was shocked!

The man at the door, also keenly observing the upheaval, quickly reacted; he bounced forward in a flash. Meanwhile, he had drawn his gun, aiming at Li Yan.

"Clack, clack... bang, bang..."

Through the series of rapid sounds, they both realized in just a split second, Li Yan not only snatched the gun but also dismantled it into pieces, now scattered across the coffee table!
