Feng Yeling covered her mouth and exclaimed in shock.

At the same time, the others around also displayed faces of astonishment. Clearly, they did not expect this significant figure to be standing right in front of them at that moment.

It must be understood that among the younger generation of the Yan Family, the one with an absolute leading status is, and will only be, Yan Mu, the eldest son.

This is not to say that Yan Mu is smarter or more outstanding than his other brothers, but because of the primogeniture inheritance system.

In ancient times, the eldest son was always in the prime position in the line of succession and was the most valued.

Whether in the resplendent royal court or among ordinary households, this tradition has been unerringly followed almost everywhere.

To this day, some deeply-rooted noble families still adhere to this ancient rule, with the Yan Family being a prominent example.

Because of this, barring any unforeseen events, Yan Mu, in a few years or maybe even just a few years into the future, would naturally take over the vast enterprise of the Yan Family from his father, thereby becoming one of the top leaders in the Pineapple Bay area.

Such a person, destined to become a top bigwig in the future, is already someone many can only look up to, yet suddenly, so unexpectedly, he appeared in everyone's sight.

Faced with such a situation, the shock of the people was well-justified.

And as the shock gradually subsided, a trace of sympathy inadvertently appeared in the eyes of those looking at Lin Beichen.

Because in their eyes, with the arrival of such a significant figure as Yan Mu, Lin Beichen seemed to have hit a dead end, leaving no other choice.

He would either be driven to flee like a homeless dog under the immense pressure of the Yan Family, eventually being quietly eliminated in some obscure corner; or he would have to kneel and beg for mercy, humbly seeking the Yan Family's forgiveness.

"Hahaha, Mr. Yan is here; you're dead, kid! You're dead! Not even Jesus can save you now!"

Qian Da, who had been unconscious, woke up at some unknown time and, despite the unbearable pain all over his body, forced a smile onto his face and laughed wildly, "Kid, aren't you quite capable? Aren't you good at fighting? I want to see how you deal with the sixteen warriors beside Mr. Yan!"

As the heir of the Yan Family, Yan Mu not only could mobilize the enormous resources of the Yan Family but was also accompanied year-round by a number of top fighters from the family as bodyguards.

These sixteen people followed Yan Mu around almost inseparably, and it was even said that even when he went to the bathroom or had intimate relations, these dozen or so men would be standing guard outside.

Some jokingly referred to these sixteen people as the "Sixteen Vajra," meaning they had exceptional martial skills and astonishing combat prowess.

It was indeed so; Qian Da, although usually arrogant, was particularly wary when facing these sixteen people, knowing he was no match for them.

Even if only three of them joined forces, Qian Da admitted he could barely handle them.

This was one of the reasons he endured his rage without retaliating after being scolded by Yan Bin.

And now, the appearance of Yan Mu, along with the emergence of the Sixteen Vajra behind him, made Qian Da certain that the kid was finished and had no chance of a comeback.

Even if that kid was arrogant enough to ignore Yan Mu, even if he was bold enough to oppose the Yan Family, he would undoubtedly be easily subdued like a homeless dog when facing the Sixteen Vajra.

Just when everyone thought Lin Beichen's fate was sealed, Yan Mu, after handing over Yan Bin to his men, stood up and followed Yan Bin's gaze.

Immediately afterward, his gaze settled on Lin Beichen, who wore a faint smile and stood casually.

Then, Yan Mu suddenly froze entirely. It was as if a thunderclap exploded beside his ears, causing him to shiver violently; his face instantly turned deathly pale, and his eyes widened as if they might pop out of their sockets at any moment.

His inner voice screamed wildly: "Lin Beichen? How can it be him? Why is this damned guy not staying put in Port City but is here in Pineapple Bay? Damn! Why must he appear here at this time?"

Yan Mu only felt his heart pounding like a drum, as if someone was hammering at his heart fiercely. His head spun in dizziness, almost unable to avoid collapsing to the ground. Fear became the only emotion in his mind at that moment.

And when this fear continued to swell over time, finally reaching a limit—"Plop," Yan Mu's legs suddenly weakened, and he directly knelt toward Lin Beichen.

This scene stunned everyone, who widened their eyes and mouths in disbelief at the sight of Yan Mu suddenly kneeling.

Some even instinctively slapped themselves to determine whether they were dreaming. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

After all, everything happening before their eyes was too bizarre for most people, too subversive to their understanding. The person who was just verbally declaring the intent to end someone's life, Yan Mu, was suddenly kneeling to the very person who beat his brother?

Why? Why did it turn out this way? Everyone was perplexed, including Yan Bin, who was also filled with doubt, unable to comprehend what sudden impulse had overtaken his elder brother.

However, amidst everyone's astonishment, something even more shocking occurred.

They saw the kneeling Yan Mu actually go down on all fours, crawl like a dog before Lin Beichen, and hug his leg while shouting: "Mr. Lin, I'm sorry! Please forgive my rudeness in not recognizing you at first sight. It's all my fault! It's all my fault!"
