Zheng Hai, who was being held by the scruff of his shirt like a little chick by Fang Yi, was montarily dumbfounded.
"No, teacher, he’s just making stuff up, don’t believe what he’s saying!" Zheng Hai quickly yelled.
"Whether I believe it or not, I know my own mind!"
Li Mingyu’s tone was icy as he then looked at Fang Yi and smiled, saying, "Young man, let him go, so he can apologize to you, right?"
Fang Yi also looked at Li Mingyu, this man in his fifties actually didn’t give off a bad impression, and his deanor wasn’t feigned; he didn’t seem to be intentionally siding with Zheng Hai.
"Uncle, you’re very smart," Fang Yi said with a smile.
This remark was loaded with aning, but the smiling Li Mingyu instantly understood it.
Li Mingyu asked Zheng Hai to apologize, firstly to get Fang Yi to release Zheng Hai, and secondly, after Zheng Hai apologized to Fang Yi, the matter could be considered settled.
It has to be said, old ginger is indeed spicier—the seasoned scholar Li Mingyu ca up with such an idea in less than a minute.
If Fang Yi let go, it would suit his intention.
If Fang Yi didn’t let go, it would an Fang Yi was "petty."
That being the case, why not just not let go?
Fang Yi still held onto the back of Zheng Hai’s shirt and lifted him up, while Zheng Hai actively shouted, "Let go, and I’ll apologize to you!"
"Your apology isn’t sothing I need, so why should I let you go?" Fang Yi retorted.
"You... I’m going to call the police!"
"Hehe," Fang Yi chuckled.
Ignoring Zheng Hai’s struggles and shouts, Fang Yi looked at the old scholar Li Mingyu and said, "This student of yours is really botherso to . How about this, you apologize on his behalf, how about that?"
Li Mingyu stared deeply at Fang Yi, saying, "Young man, you’re quite clever too!"
Earlier Li Mingyu had set a small trap for Fang Yi, and now Fang Yi also set a trap for Li Mingyu. This trap was about whether Li Mingyu cared about his own face or not; after all, he was a well-known figure, and apologizing to a young man like Fang Yi would definitely cause a ripple in his reputation.
So, this was the trap Fang Yi had set for Li Mingyu.
However, seeing Li Mingyu hesitate for a mont, he then smiled and said, "Alright, I’ll apologize on behalf of my student, young man, you’d better keep your word."
After speaking, Li Mingyu stepped forward and, without further ado, bowed deeply to Fang Yi.
After straightening up, he then bowed to Fang Yi again.
He bowed a total of three tis.
Then, Li Mingyu raised his head, with a gentle smile, saying, "Young man, I’ve apologized on behalf of my student. Seeing that you have a broad forehead, you seem like a good person, so don’t hold it against my student."
"Uncle, you’re really shortening my lifespan by doing this!"
"No, this is sincerity that can move mountains."
"Alright, for your sake, I’ll let him go!" With that, Fang Yi released Zheng Hai’s shirt and gave him a push forward.
Zheng Hai stumbled for a few steps, fortunate that Li Mingyu stepped forward to support him, otherwise Zheng Hai would’ve ended up face down on the ground.
Li Mingyu said again, "Thank you, young man."
Fang Yi said, "No need for thanks, uncle. This student of yours is really not worth much."
The "escaped from death" Zheng Hai’s eyes flashed with a fierce light upon hearing this, about to retort, only to be glared back by Li Mingyu.
Without Zheng Hai’s noise, Fang Yi finally felt so peace. He turned his gaze and suddenly looked at the elegant Madam Kong, smiling:
"Madam Kong, have you had enough of the show? If not, would you like to perform for you again?"
