Yin Jiuqi did not respond much to the well-meaning reminder, calmly sitting down in the wheelchair resting beside him. However, this was no ordinary wheelchair. It was an advanced, custom-built electric model that he could effortlessly control all by himself with a simple, light touch of his fingers.
His subordinate quickly stepped into position behind him as they left the room together, keeping a watchful eye and acting as a loyal guard.
However, the very moment they stepped out into the bustling main hallway, another rowdy, arrogant group suddenly blocked their path, completely preventing them from moving forward.
"Oh? Isn't this Yin Jiuqi? What on earth are you doing here tonight?" A man asked mockingly, stepping forward with an insufferable, arrogant smirk plastered across his face.
Just from the sharp, condescending tone of his voice alone, everyone present in the hallway could easily tell that he was deliberately mocking Yin Jiuqi for being confined to a wheelchair.
"Yaozu, it really is hilarious that even someone in his condition still dares to show his face in a place like this." Another person standing beside the man chimed in, openly mocking Yin Jiuqi while snickering loudly.
"Hey, Yin Jiuqi, why don't you come join us instead? We have plenty of good wine and beautiful women waiting for us tonight." The leader laughed arrogantly before deliberately adding with a nasty sneer, "Oh, right. I almost forgot. You already lost the ability to actually do that kind of thing. Well, I guess you can still just sit there quietly and watch the rest of us enjoy ourselves."
The entire group burst into loud, obnoxious laughter immediately afterward, eagerly waiting to see him snap and get angry.
Meanwhile, Yin Jiuqi remained completely calm and indifferent, utterly unfazed by their cruel, biting words. He even smiled at those men.
"Well, I would rather do absolutely nothing at all. At least I do not have to constantly worry about catching some sort of terrible, shameful disease." Yin Jiuqi replied casually, his smooth voice dripping with calm disdain.
"Hey! Who exactly are you calling diseased? Do not spread your baseless nonsense here!" The man's expression instantly darkened with intense anger, his mocking smirk vanishing in a single second.
The man, whose full name was Lin Yaozu, felt his blood boil fiercely when Yin Jiuqi dared to say something so humiliating. If anyone else in their social circle heard about a rumour like that, he was absolutely certain that other prominent families would think twice about marrying their daughters to him.
Furious, he wanted nothing more than to punch Yin Jiuqi right in the face. As he swung his fist wildly at Yin Jiuqi, Yin Jiuqi casually used his controller to glide backwards, smoothly avoiding Lin Yaozu's clumsy punch. The moment he saw Lin Yaozu finish swinging his fist and lose his balance, Yin Jiuqi pressed the button to drive forward, colliding heavily with Lin Yaozu.
Lin Yaozu let out a sharp shout of pain as part of his leg smashed hard against the solid metal frame of the electric wheelchair.
"You absolute bastard! My surname is not Lin if I don't beat you to a pulp tonight!" Lin Yaozu roared, completely losing his temper.
He charged toward Yin Jiuqi once again, raising his arm to swing his fist. However, before he was able to throw the punch, a new man came rushing over and forcefully stopped him.
"What do you think you are doing?!" The newcomer shouted, his voice commanding authority.
"Sir, we just want to teach this cripple bastard a proper lesson." Lin Yaozu stated, trying to justify his actions.
"If you want to do something like that, you can get the hell out of here. We don't want any trouble inside our establishment." The newcomer barked coldly.
"We were just about to mind our own business and leave, but we were suddenly blocked and harassed by that group." Yin Jiuqi's subordinate stepped forward, firmly explaining the true reality of the situation to the manager.
