Jeon Jeongguk saw his unfriendliness from the other's smile. Kim Lalisa had not told him that she knew Jeon Lecheng.
He looked at Jeon Lecheng walking arrogantly towards him with expressionless eyes. First, he glanced at the service staff member standing behind him holding his bag. Then he sized him up with contemptuous eyes and sneered, "You can still afford to shop at luxury stores. It seems my punishment for you over the years is still not enough."
Jeon Jeongguk had left home at a young age and always had a cold relationship with the Jeon family. After returning to the country, Grandpa Jeon stubbornly handed over the company to him, which caused dissatisfaction from Jeon Eldest Uncle and Jeon Second Uncle. They became even more hostile towards him.
He rarely met with Jeon Lecheng, only encountering each other at the monthly family banquet. Jeon Lecheng was a troublemaker who did not hide his disgust and hostility towards him. Jeon Jeongguk, in consideration of Grandpa and Grandma's feelings, never paid him any attention. The two had never come into direct conflict.
He had also heard about some of Jeon Lecheng's bad deeds, but as long as it didn't happen in front of him or caused real damage to the Jeon family's interests, he was willing to let it go for Grandpa and Grandma's sake.
But obviously, his behavior today had already damaged the Jeon family's brand image and broken the rules he had set.
Not to mention Jeon Lecheng's attitude towards Kim Lalisa really annoyed him.
He was annoyed, so his aura became even colder. Stared at by that icy cold gaze, Jeon Lecheng suddenly thought of the formidable third brother at home. His eyes were also so terrifying, giving people chills.
Hadn't he been glared at fiercely by him at the recent family banquet!
Thinking of this, Jeon Lecheng immediately flew into a rage out of humiliation. He could endure Jeon Jeongguk's icy stare, but how dare this Kim Lalisa also glare at him like this!
In his anger, Jeon Lecheng raised his hand and tried to fiercely pinch her cold and pretty face.
He wanted to make this cheap woman suffer and beg for mercy under his hand!
Before he could touch the face he had been drooling over, his wrist was suddenly grabbed forcefully by the other party and twisted hard. Jeon Lecheng screamed painfully on the spot, cursing loudly. He raised his other hand, trying to choke Jeon Jeongguk's neck. No matter how good one's skills, the physical strength between men and women is unequal after all. Jeon Jeongguk felt powerless as a woman for the first time.
Kim You, who had been following her sister, saw that she was being bullied. She screamed and pounced over like a little puppy, using her usual move of clinging to Jeon Jeongguk's s  leg. She then bit down hard on Jeon Lecheng's thigh.
Jeon Lecheng screamed even more miserably. He didn't even care about the woman in front of him anymore. He raised his leg, trying to kick Kim You away. But Kim You's leg-clinging skills were truly superb. She clung tightly to his leg and stubbornly refused to let go. Song Lecheng felt like the flesh on his thigh was about to be bitten off.
He howled in anguish, "Security guards! Tie them up! Tie both of them up for me!"
The scene descended into chaos. Jeon Lecheng had to let go of Jeon Jeongguk's neck because of  Kim You's bite. Jeon Jeongguk took the opportunity to hug Kim You back to check that she was unharmed before feeling relieved.
Jeon Lecheng covered his leg in pain, baring his teeth viciously as he raged, "Tie them up for me!"
The security guards naturally recognized Young Master Jeon Lecheng of the Jeon family. But being told to tie up a woman and a child was still difficult. Jeon Lecheng roared, "Don't listen huh! Do you believe I'll fire all of you!"
Hearing this, the security guards looked at each other hesitantly. Jeon Jeongguk said coldly, "Who dares!"
The authority of the superior made everyone present not dare to act rashly.
Only Jeon Lecheng was still jumping and shouting, "You! Tie them up for me!"
At this moment, Kim You finally reacted. She wailed loudly in Jeon Jeongguk's arms. After comforting her for a few sentences, he took out his phone and dialed 110. The panicked store manager who was wiping his sweat understood that he was calling the police. He immediately walked up and pleaded, "Miss, let's talk this through. Don't call the police. It won't be good for anyone if this gets big."
Jeon Lecheng acted fearless, "Let her call the cops! Biting me like this, we're not done today!"
The deputy store manager advised in a low voice, "Young Master, our store has surveillance footage. It was you who...who made the first move. And look what your neck is like, Miss. You have a child with you, clearly at a disadvantage. It won't be good for you if the police come."
Jeon Lecheng was still arrogantly unreasonable, "I'm afraid of her?"
Jeon Jeongguk sneered and dialed the number to call the police.
......
The police arrived quickly. There was surveillance footage in the store. It was obvious who moved first, as the deputy store manager said. Jeon Jeongguk and Kim You's subsequent actions could be seen as self-defense. Although Jeon Lecheng's thigh was indeed badly bitten, the biter was only a four-year-old child. She couldn't be held criminally responsible, right?
Fortunately, nothing major happened. The police suggested resolving this privately.
Jeon Lecheng had not expected things to develop this way. He said angrily, "I'm finding a lawyer!"
Jeon Jeongguk also held Kim You and said coldly, "I do not accept private settlement."
Jeon Lecheng bared his teeth in pain and glared at him threateningly, "Kim Lalisa, you asked for this. I'm telling you, from now on you can forget about getting by in this industry!"
The policeman strictly stopped him, "What are you trying to do by threatening the victim in front of us?"
Someone like Jeon Lecheng would never take the police seriously. Feeling empowered by his dirty money, he arrogantly yelled at the police, "Who do you think you are, daring to yell at me? Do you know who my grandfather is?"
This made the police laugh. Pointing at him, the officer said, "I don't care who your grandfather is! Even if he is the Jade Emperor today, he cannot allow you to intimidate and threaten others in front of us!"
Jeon Lecheng had been spoiled since childhood. Seeing the police pointing at him, he angrily slapped the officer's hand away.
Then Jeon Lecheng was arrested for assaulting a police officer.
The onlooking staff: ......He really deserved it. I never liked this entitled second generation brat.
The beauty who had come with Jeon Lecheng turned pale with fright and slipped away unnoticed when people weren't looking. When Jeon Jeongguk went to the police station to give his statement, the mall executives had also finally arrived.
He was very dissatisfied with the efficiency of these subordinates he had personally promoted.
Now these executives kept bowing and apologizing to him, promising countless shopping benefits from the mall. They didn't want this incident to escalate and negatively impact the mall's brand image. They hoped he would agree to settle this privately.
Jeon Jeongguk had originally intended to teach Jeon Lecheng a good lesson. But one executive's words made him change his mind: "Miss Kim, we understand you are an actress. With the information explosion online these days, many things can easily be distorted through transmission. We know you've suffered an injustice, but if we let this ferment, it will also impact your image as an actress. We sincerely ask for your forgiveness and hope that you can be the bigger person."
He thought of the negative online comments about Kim Lalisa and felt a little unhappy.
But he had to admit the executive's words made sense. Given the current online environment, it was better to minimize the impact on Kim Lalisa  as much as possible.
Jeon Lecheng had already suffered a loss. So Jeon Jeongguk nodded and agreed to settle privately.
