Chen Jin Zhao's eyes were sharp, radiating a bone-chilling coldness.
Even Yu Meng Zhi shivered involuntarily.
She suddenly felt that
Chen Jin Zhao, standing before her, seemed a little unfamiliar.
Chen Jin Zhao realized he had lost control of his emotions. After exhaling a deep breath, he said to Yu Meng Zhi, "I apologize, I didn't have myself under control just now. I'll go check what's happening."
"I'll go with you," Yu Meng Zhi said.
The two arrived at the lobby downstairs.
They saw all the security personnel in the lobby lying scattered on the ground. Mo Cheng Kun had even lost a few teeth, which made Chen Jin Zhao's anger flare up.
This was beyond intolerable!
He quickly walked over to Mo Cheng Kun and helped him up from the ground.
"Uncle Mo, how are you feeling now?" Chen Jin Zhao asked.
Old Mo had taken good care of him these past three years, and Chen Jin Zhao treated him like an elder. Now, some ignorant fools had dared to lay hands on him.
Mo Cheng Kun clutched his chest. Chen Jin Zhao felt his ribs and knew they were broken. He then said to Yu Meng Zhi, "President Yu, please call 120 to come over."
Yu Meng Zhi said in a deep voice, "There's no need. I'll have people take them to the hospital now."
"This will be faster."
Chen Jin Zhao nodded. This was indeed a good idea.
After helping all the security guards up from the ground, Chen Jin Zhao looked up at the five people standing by the turnstiles.
These five were led by the bald Xu Ao, while the other four were just thugs.
Chen Jin Zhao intended to walk over and reason with them, but Yu Meng Zhi quickly grabbed his hand and shook her head, signaling him not to act impulsively. These people were prepared; calling the police was the right course of action.
"President Yu, there's no need to call the police," Chen Jin Zhao said.
"Why?" Yu Meng Zhi asked, confused.
Chen Jin Zhao said coldly, "Have you ever heard the saying that even the wicked have someone to keep them in check? When dealing with these scums, do we really need the police to get involved?"
Calling the police would be too easy on them.
Yu Meng Zhi had initially been worried that Chen Jin Zhao would act rashly, but she suddenly remembered that Chen Jin Zhao was quite skilled. Since he dared to say such things, it meant he had considerable confidence.
"Then you..."
"Be careful."
Chen Jin Zhao hummed and turned to face Xu Ao.
Xu Ao was also sizing up Chen Jin Zhao. He said expressionlessly, "I was the one who hit them. These people were chattering too annoyingly in front of me, so I had to shut them up."
"Don't you think you've gone too far?" Chen Jin Zhao countered.
"Too far?" Xu Ao chuckled.
He shook his head and said, "Not at all. I just feel it wasn't satisfying enough."
"You're Chen Jin Zhao?"
"Our Lord Hong wants to see you. Come with us. It won't take up much of your time."
Lord Hong?
Chen Jin Zhao shook his head. "Where did this stray dog come from? I don't know him."
A cold glint flashed in Xu Ao's eyes, clearly angered by Chen Jin Zhao's words. In their eyes, Lord Hong was not to be insulted. Clearly, Chen Jin Zhao had made a grave mistake.
At this moment,
Yu Meng Zhi walked to Chen Jin Zhao's side and explained the background of Lord Hong to him.
When Chen Jin Zhao heard the word "overseas," his eyes also gleamed. The situation was starting to get interesting.
"I urge you to leave Gou Chen immediately, or I will call the police right now," Yu Meng Zhi said, not wanting Chen Jin Zhao to go with them. This was definitely not a good thing.
Before Xu Ao could speak,
Chen Jin Zhao smiled and said to Yu Meng Zhi, "President Yu, I already told you not to bother them. These dog-like bastards, I can handle them with just one finger."
Yu Meng Zhi's eyes showed worry. She felt Chen Jin Zhao was too confident.
Perhaps even a bit arrogant!
Xu Ao scoffed at Chen Jin Zhao's words but said with a smile, "Heh, I actually admire you a little. Come with us, perhaps you can gain Lord Hong's appreciation."
"President Yu, I advise you not to meddle in this."
"Lord Hong asked me to invite Chen Jin Zhao over, and he has your grandfather's permission. Even if you call the police, Old Master Yu will have the case dropped."
Yu Meng Zhi's face turned pale.
She couldn't believe her ears and looked at Chen Jin Zhao with a hint of guilt.
"This has nothing to do with you," Chen Jin Zhao said gently.
Even so,
Yu Meng Zhi was, after all, a member of the Yu family. How could she remain indifferent?
Finally,
Gritting her teeth, Yu Meng Zhi stood in front of Chen Jin Zhao. "If you want to take him away, take me with you."
Xu Ao couldn't help but laugh. "We can take you, of course. We'll treat Miss Yu politely. As for this Chen Jin Zhao, if our Lord Hong wants to see him, even Yama the King can't stop us."
Chen Jin Zhao placed a hand on Yu Meng Zhi's shoulder and moved her to his side.
"President Yu, listen to me."
"Buy some groceries and go home. I'll be back soon."
"But..." Yu Meng Zhi was worried.
Chen Jin Zhao stopped wasting words with Yu Meng Zhi and looked up at Xu Ao. "It's not impossible for me to go with you. I have one condition—"
"You hit my people just now. You must apologize to them now."
"How do you want me to apologize?" Xu Ao asked with interest, his face full of sarcasm.
Chen Jin Zhao smiled faintly. "For example, kneel down and kowtow three times to them."
Xu Ao and his four subordinates burst into laughter, incredibly arrogant, as if they hadn't taken Chen Jin Zhao's words seriously. Instead, they treated it as a joke.
"You, what right do you have to negotiate with me? It's your honor that Lord Hong wants to see you," Xu Ao sneered.
Yu Meng Zhi felt anxious.
Was it really a good idea for Chen Jin Zhao to provoke them like this?
Facing the aggressive Xu Ao, Chen Jin Zhao turned to Yu Meng Zhi and smiled. "President Yu, do you remember what I said to you earlier?"
"What?" Yu Meng Zhi didn't react immediately.
Chen Jin Zhao grinned, revealing his clean, white teeth.
"The wicked still need someone to keep them in check."
"And I am the even more ruthless villain who is fiercer than the wicked."
As his voice fell,
Chen Jin Zhao struck Xu Ao, sending him flying with a slap.
Before the remaining four subordinates could react, Chen Jin Zhao's fists appeared before them, giving them no time to dodge. Some were hit in the nose, others in the chest.
The result was the same for all of them: they were sent flying backward and collapsed on the ground.
Chen Jin Zhao did not stop. He walked slowly towards Xu Ao, who was scrambling to get up from the ground. Sensing Chen Jin Zhao's approach, he glared fiercely.
"You son of a bitch!!"
"You attacked me without honor! Did that sneak attack give you the confidence to think you're my match?"
"You're dead! I swear it!"
Xu Ao was Hong Fu Long's trusted subordinate and possessed extensive combat experience.
Fueled by rage, Xu Ao threw a punch at Chen Jin Zhao. The speed was so fast that it made one's pupils contract, leaving no room for reaction.
Of course,
Xu Ao's strength was also terrifying.
A whistling sound echoed through the air. Before the punch even landed on Chen Jin Zhao, it sent a chill down one's spine.
This punch was like a broken bamboo!
