Chapter 578: 578: Whoever Dares Insult Me, I'll Beat Them Up

Being publicly humiliated and insulted along with his mother Ling Ruonan, Luo Ziling naturally turned pale.

The polite smile on his face just now vanished, replaced by a face full of anger. “What did you say?”

“Aren’t you just a bastard? A bastard that the Ling Family doesn’t acknowledge, what right do you have to…”

Ling Haiyang’s words were cut off mid-sentence because Luo Ziling had grabbed him by the throat.

Luo Ziling made a decisive move.

His right hand clasped Ling Haiyang’s neck as he shouted angrily, “What did you say?”

Ling Haiyang was not at all scared; he struggled fiercely and tried desperately to pry Luo Ziling’s hand away, bellowing with venom, “You are a bastard…”

“Ah!” A woman’s scream rang out from nearby.

Because they saw Luo Ziling lift Ling Haiyang, who weighed at least 180 jin and was 185 centimeters tall, into the air.

Luo Ziling lifted Ling Haiyang by the neck with one hand, startling everyone present.

“Luo Ziling, what are you doing?” Ling Haining reacted quite quickly, immediately shouting angrily, “Will you not let go?”

Ling Haining was overjoyed that Ling Haiyang was publicly insulting Luo Ziling.

What made him even more thrilled was that Luo Ziling had publicly made a move and taught Ling Haiyang a lesson.

Luo Ziling had acted, and he had done so in the Ling Family Old Mansion. Anyone could imagine what the outcome would be today.

Ling Haiyang was the son of Ling Mingqing’s brother, Ling Zhengjun, and ranked just below him among the cousins in the Ling Family. Knowing that Luo Ziling had publicly disciplined Ling Haiyang, Ling Haining knew that the situation had escalated.

By taking action against Ling Haiyang, Luo Ziling was essentially slapping Ling Mingqing and Ling Zhengjun in the face.

Ling Mingqing and Ling Zhengjun both had come to attend the birthday celebration. Ling Mingqing had not yet arrived, while Ling Zhengjun was inside the house talking with others.

“Whoever dares to insult me, I will beat them,” Luo Ziling glared at Ling Haining, his hand did not loosen, but instead, he continued to grip Ling Haiyang’s throat.

Soon, Ling Haiyang’s breathing became labored and his face turned purple.

“Release him quickly, someone might get killed,” Ling Haining continued to yell, “How dare you start a fight during Great-Grandfather’s birthday? What kind of place do you think our Ling Family Old Mansion is, do you even consider us part of the Ling Family anymore?”

Ling Haining’s words were technically skilled; he framed Luo Ziling’s actions as a threat to Ling Haiyang’s life and said that he attacked someone during Ling Jinhua’s birthday, directly excluding him from the Ling Family and portraying Luo Ziling’s actions as bullying the Ling Family members.

However, Luo Ziling completely ignored Ling Haining’s roar and instead growled viciously at Ling Haiyang, who he was holding by the neck in mid-air, “Apologize right now, or don’t blame me for being rude.”

As he spoke, Luo Ziling slightly loosened his grip to allow Ling Haiyang to breathe.

“Why should I… apologize to you… you bastard?” Ling Haiyang was defiant, and after cursing Luo Ziling again, he called out to the others, “What are you waiting for? Beat him, beat him to death and throw him out.”

The others also reacted, and several young men whose names Luo Ziling did not know charged over, telling Luo Ziling to quickly put the person down, or they would be unkind.

Ling Haining and Ling Haijun discreetly took two steps back while others rushed forward, distancing themselves slightly from Luo Ziling.

They knew the terror of Luo Ziling’s Combat Power and understood that even if all these people ganged up on him, they might not be his match. If Luo Ziling lost his reason and started striking out at them, by stepping back, they could escape his grasp immediately to avoid the pain of physical punishment.

After stepping back two steps, Ling Haining continued to shout at Luo Ziling, “Put Haiyang down quickly, or we won’t be polite anymore.”

Ling Haijun also squeezed in from behind and yelled, calling the others to come forward and confront Luo Ziling.

Ling Qingqing, who had just brought Luo Ziling over, was petrified by the sudden turn of events, trembling and hiding to the side, daring not to say anything more.

“You bastard, let me go, or you’re dead,” Ling Haiyang, slightly getting his breath back, threatened venomously again, “Bastard, that cheap woman Ling Ruonan, giving birth to…”

With a “thud,” a muffled collision rang out, followed by an earth-shattering scream that ended in less than half a second.

In his extreme anger, Luo Ziling once again tightened his grip on Ling Haiyang’s neck and slammed his knee hard into his stomach.

Driven by rage, he showed no mercy, exerting a great deal of force. The blow was so severe it nearly knocked Ling Haiyang unconscious from the pain.

After striking Ling Haiyang hard, Luo Ziling grabbed him by the neck and threw his body towards the others.

There were more screams as several younger members of the Ling Family were knocked down by Ling Haiyang’s hefty body.

The force of the impact was immense, and even without exerting strength, the hit from a body weighing 180 pounds was more than an average person could bear.

Luckily, Ling Haining and Ling Haijun dodged quickly, or they too would have been knocked over.

The fact that Ling Haining and Ling Haijun actually dodged caught Luo Ziling off guard; he had originally intended to use Ling Haiyang’s body to retaliate against these two.

All the female family members were stunned into silence; some screamed and fled, while the more agile quickly ran into the house to call for help.

Ling Haiyang, nearly knocked unconscious by Luo Ziling’s knee strike, curled up on the ground like a large shrimp, writhing, with both hands clutching his stomach, unable to even let out a scream.

Seeing that his attack had subdued everyone present, and no one dared to approach him, Luo Ziling felt a touch of satisfaction and roared viciously, “Whoever dares to curse me again, or insult my mother, I’ll beat them up!”@@novelbin@@

With that, he took a large stride forward, grabbed Ling Haiyang by his clothes, and lifted him straight up.

“Apologize for what you just said,” Luo Ziling didn’t soften at the sight of the other party writhing in pain; he was still angry about being called a “bastard.” Consequently, he was forcing Ling Haiyang to apologize, or else he would face more beatings.

Poor Ling Haiyang, still overwhelmed by the intense pain, naturally curled into a ball and was in no condition to respond to Luo Ziling’s demand.

“You’re just a bastard,” a young man who had just been knocked over and crushed by Ling Haiyang managed to stand up and cursed at Luo Ziling, “A wild bastard with no upbringing, daring to run wild in the Ling Family Old Mansion…”

Before he could finish speaking, his entire body flew out and was pinned down by a heavy object.

It turned out that Luo Ziling, in his irritation, had used Ling Haiyang in his hand as a weapon, striking the person who still dared to curse at him.

“Stop it!” A cry laden with grief and indignation came from behind.

Luo Ziling turned his head to look, and saw a group of people coming out of the house, heading towards where they were standing.
