The surrounding air temperature plummeted!
Ma Lao San’s smile gradually faded, and even Yu Meng Zhi felt a chill that seeped into her bones.
She quickly looked at Chen Jin Zhao, thinking how foolish he was.
Ma Lao San’s strength was evident for all to see. For Chen Jin Zhao to openly provoke him was like seeking death.
Yu Meng Zhi made a decisive move, stepping in front of Chen Jin Zhao and saying to Ma Lao San, "With me here, no one can touch him!!!"
She did this not because she liked Chen Jin Zhao.
But because Yu Meng Zhi understood that Chen Jin Zhao was dragged down by her. If anything were to happen to him, she wouldn't be able to live with herself.
The situation had escalated to this point, and Yu Meng Zhi was already regretting involving Chen Jin Zhao.
Qin Feng Wu was too terrifying.
Ma Lao San didn’t pay attention to Yu Meng Zhi’s words. He only obeyed Qin Feng Wu’s orders. If Yu Meng Zhi continued to obstruct him, he wouldn’t hesitate to knock her unconscious before dealing with Chen Jin Zhao.
“Manager Yu…”
Chen Jin Zhao stepped forward, standing beside Yu Meng Zhi, and smiled, “You once asked me what stories were behind these scars on my body. Now I can tell you.”
Yu Meng Zhi looked confused. “When did I ask you that?”
As soon as the words left her mouth.
Yu Meng Zhi remembered their second encounter. She had indeed asked that question, but Chen Jin Zhao had stammered and not answered.
This made Yu Meng Zhi roll her eyes. At a time like this, he still had the nerve to flirt with her?
Forget it!
Yu Meng Zhi knew she could neither persuade Chen Jin Zhao nor drive away Ma Lao San.
This Ma Lao San wouldn’t dare to kill someone in broad daylight, would he?
Chen Jin Zhao had so many scars; he must be quite tough. At worst, they could just send him to the hospital.
In reality, Yu Meng Zhi hadn't thought it through. This was a tacit compromise to Qin Feng Wu.
Yu Meng Zhi spoke up to warn him, “You need to be careful of this Ma Lao San. He has experience as an overseas mercenary.”
“Oh? Interesting…”
Chen Jin Zhao sized up Ma Lao San.
No wonder he felt a familiar aura from him. He was likely an old opponent.
Ma Lao San didn’t intend to give Chen Jin Zhao any time to react. He raised his hand and punched, aiming directly for Chen Jin Zhao’s throat.
Chen Jin Zhao frowned. Ma Lao San was clearly trying to kill him from the start, without any preamble.
The punch whistled through the air with full force.
Chen Jin Zhao was no pushover either. A slight sidestep was all it took to evade Ma Lao San’s initial assault.
Ma Lao San, missing his target, was inwardly surprised. His speed was already considerable, yet this stinky security guard had dodged it so easily.
Out of professional instinct, Ma Lao San immediately became vigilant, unleashing 200% of his strength against Chen Jin Zhao to avoid capsizing in a ditch.
Failing to land a hit, Ma Lao San calmly retreated, waiting for an opportunity to launch his second assault.
“Where did you work as a mercenary?” Chen Jin Zhao suddenly asked.
“North Africa!” Ma Lao San snorted.
Chen Jin Zhao suddenly understood.
He had also been to that place for missions. Thinking back, he felt a sense of nostalgia.
Ma Lao San seized the moment of Chen Jin Zhao’s distraction and launched another surprise attack, his fists raining down on Chen Jin Zhao’s chest.
He sneered, “I can see you’re also a fighter, but you’re not good at controlling the rapid changes of battle. For example, if you hadn’t been lost in thought just now, I would never have been able to launch a surprise attack.”
Over twenty punches landed squarely on Chen Jin Zhao’s chest.
Yu Meng Zhi’s heart pounded for Chen Jin Zhao. The fate of the four bodyguards was still fresh in her mind. After taking so many punches, Chen Jin Zhao must not be able to hold on!
Ma Lao San was about to strike again when a large hand suddenly grabbed his wrist.
Chen Jin Zhao snapped back to reality, patting the dust off his chest with his other hand. “Boring. I thought you were a big fish, but you’re just a minnow. From now on, don’t bark at me.”
Ma Lao San was filled with terror.
Those twenty-odd punches had landed solid on Chen Jin Zhao’s chest, yet Chen Jin Zhao was completely unharmed, still standing there as if nothing had happened.
What terrified Ma Lao San even more was Chen Jin Zhao’s incredible strength. His wrist was so firmly gripped that he couldn’t break free.
In desperation, Ma Lao San rapidly raised his right knee, intending to use a dirty trick to gravely injure Chen Jin Zhao.
Little did he know.
Every move he made was already seen through by Chen Jin Zhao.
Chen Jin Zhao’s other leg swept out, shattering Ma Lao San’s left knee. Losing his balance, Ma Lao San fell heavily to the ground.
Large beads of cold sweat appeared on Ma Lao San’s forehead. He clutched his left knee with both hands and let out a low groan.
Now he finally realized he had kicked an iron plate. During the fight with Chen Jin Zhao, he had no power to resist at all, as if he were facing a human-shaped primordial beast!
For many years to come, the shadow cast by Chen Jin Zhao would linger in Ma Lao San’s mind, refusing to dissipate.
Yu Meng Zhi was stunned.
When Ma Lao San initially seemed to have the upper hand, she thought Chen Jin Zhao was going to lose.
However…
In the end, it was Ma Lao San who suffered defeat.
Looking at Chen Jin Zhao’s broad back again, a strange feeling arose in Yu Meng Zhi’s heart.
This man, whom she had already seen naked, still seemed shrouded in a veil of mystery, making it impossible to see his true face.
Who was he, exactly?
Chen Jin Zhao looked down at Ma Lao San from above. Deep fear welled up in Ma Lao San’s eyes.
Only then did Chen Jin Zhao say, “There are rules abroad, and there are naturally rules here at home. It’s best not to appear before me again. Otherwise, if I’m in a bad mood someday, I might just kill you.”
“You’re also ex-mercenary?” Ma Lao San’s teeth chattered from the pain.
“No.” Chen Jin Zhao shook his head.
“However, I often fought against your kind. Your leaders might have died by my hand.”
If this was before the fight, Ma Lao San would have scoffed, thinking Chen Jin Zhao was bragging.
After their encounter, Ma Lao San had little doubt, believing Chen Jin Zhao possessed such capabilities.
However.
If Chen Jin Zhao was this strong, he should be famous on the battlefield.
Ma Lao San hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and asked, “Who exactly are you? State your name, perhaps I’ve heard of your title.”
“All in the past…” Chen Jin Zhao shook his head.
He had no interest in revealing it to Ma Lao San. Those arduous years brought him both nostalgia and a desire to escape.
Chen Jin Zhao turned and left. Yu Meng Zhi glanced at the four bodyguards. Seeing that they were still mobile, she told them to get themselves checked at the hospital before getting into the car with Chen Jin Zhao.
Ma Lao San grabbed one of the bodyguards and asked with a frown, “I’m asking you, what was the name of that young man just now?”
“I think… it was Chen Jin Zhao?” the bodyguard replied.
Ma Lao San, dragging his injured body, suddenly stopped not far away, his body starting to tremble uncontrollably.
He finally remembered that name, which had once resounded like thunder on the battlefield!
Chen Jin Zhao also had another well-known moniker—
The Jade-Faced Yama!
