"Damn it, didn't you guys say you would definitely make Chu Lingtian beg for mercy? Didn't you say that with your years of boxing and kickboxing training, not one Chu Lingtian, but ten of them, would have to kneel and kowtow?"
"What happened? Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Zhang Tao's right index finger had been broken by Chu Lingtian, bleeding profusely, with white bone clearly visible. However, his rage burned infinitely hotter than the pain as he ferociously roared at the two young men kneeling before him.
Both young men were still on their knees, their hands clutched tightly to their abdomens. The pain was slowly subsiding, but they were still immersed in the extreme fear of being brought to their knees by Chu Lingtian's punch.
"Brother Tao, we, we never expected this Chu Lingtian kid to be so skilled!"
"It's unbelievable. Just moments ago, Chu Lingtian couldn't even withstand a punch from that dark and burly security guard, and he even surrendered to the second opponent. How could he have such terrifying combat power? We both genuinely trained in boxing and kickboxing for years; ordinary people are no match for us. But, I didn't even see how he attacked us just now..."
Listening to the two young men, Zhang Tao was even more furious, his face contorted as he cursed:
"Fuck your mothers! This is the first time in my life I've been so humiliated. I trusted your abilities so much, and I spewed a lot of threats at Chu Lingtian. In the end, I was the clown! You two pieces of trash, get lost! All of you, get out!!!"
"Brother Tao, we were too careless just now. We didn't expect this Chu Lingtian kid, who looks so weak and harmless, to be so powerful and fierce. Don't worry, we'll be more careful next time and guarantee we'll make him submit."
One of the young men said hastily.
"No need. You two trash can go do whatever you were doing. This time, I'll find some real thugs from Da Chang City. If I don't cripple this dog, Chu Lingtian, I swear I won't rest!"
Zhang Tao spat out his threats and stormed away in a rage.
Underground Parking Lot Security Booth.
When Chu Lingtian returned, Wang Dagang was already in the security booth, happily sending messages on his phone.
"Brother Chu."
Seeing Chu Lingtian return, Wang Dagang immediately smiled and offered him a cigarette. Previously, he respected Chu Lingtian because he admired his courage in confronting Zhang Tao. Now, he felt gratitude as well.
Chu Lingtian took the cigarette and smiled, "Congratulations, kid."
"Haha, I didn't expect to win in the end and become Manager Liu's dedicated driver and bodyguard. But I really have to thank you, Brother Chu. When Wang Kai was about to punish me, if you hadn't stepped in to take the heat, I would have definitely been fired."
Wang Dagang looked at Chu Lingtian with sincerity and said.
"It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning." Chu Lingtian smiled and shook his head, then asked, "Isn't it our turn for the night shift tonight?"
"Yes, although I'm now Manager Liu's dedicated driver, and I'll be driving her to and from work and other places, I still have to return to the company for work during other times. However, Manager Liu said that starting tomorrow night, I'll be exclusively driving her."
Wang Dagang replied.
Chu Lingtian remembered Liu Huohuo's playful invitation to meet her at the Fangyu Bar at precisely twelve o'clock tonight. He said, "I need to go out at eleven-thirty tonight. Please cover for me for a while."
"No problem." Wang Dagang nodded, then asked gossipy, "Brother Chu, are you going to find a girlfriend and get a hotel room for some fun?"
"You kid, you're such a gossip king. But I have to say, your skills aren't bad."
Chu Lingtian smiled.
Wang Dagang replied, "Brother Chu, I've loved martial arts since I was a child. I studied under a kung fu master for a few years, and then I've been practicing on my own. By the way, you've offended Zhang Tao and publicly confronted Minister Wang Kai. They might still cause you trouble. How about I teach you a few moves for self-defense?"
"Alright."
In reality, Wang Dagang's combat strength was no match for Chu Lingtian. However, to better conceal his true identity and abilities, Chu Lingtian agreed.
Eleven-thirty at night.
Chu Lingtian left Baoxue Company, hailed a taxi by the roadside, and headed for the Fangyu Bar.
Upon arriving at the entrance of Fangyu Bar, Chu Lingtian immediately saw Liu Huohuo waiting nearby.
Tonight, Liu Huohuo was dressed as sexily and provocatively as ever. Her upper body was a tank top-like t-shirt, revealing her ample chest and beautiful back. Her lower body was a pair of denim shorts that were almost like underwear. The black fishnet stockings on her legs and the black high heels on her feet made this little temptress even more feminine and alluring for desire.
Chu Lingtian approached Liu Huohuo, his gaze involuntarily drifting to the snowy white cleavage between her breasts. He asked, "What do you need me for?"
"When you came to the bar with me last time, did you get into a fight?"
Liu Huohuo asked with some worry in her eyes, staring at Chu Lingtian.
"Little temptress, you dare to ask me? You signed me up for that underground boxing match, and you were drunk yourself, rushing up to fight with them..."
Before Chu Lingtian could finish speaking, Liu Huohuo interrupted him.
"It's over, it's over, we're finished!"
"Do you know who you beat up at the bar? He's the right-hand man of Jin Ye, the boss of this Fangyu Bar, Da Xiong! Today, Jin Ye sent people to find me, saying that we two need to go there tonight to settle things, otherwise we'll never see tomorrow's sun again."
Liu Huohuo's emotions were breaking down, and she said in extreme fear.
Chu Lingtian frowned, his tone displeased, "As far as I know, underground boxing matches have their rules. Once you're on the stage, it's a matter of life and death, and no revenge afterwards. Isn't this Jin Ye violating the rules of the underworld?"
"Are you crazy? Keep your voice down! Do you want to die? Do you know who this Jin Ye is? I heard he has considerable influence in both the underworld and the legitimate circles of Da Chang City. He's even on a first-name basis with important figures like the police chief. We absolutely cannot afford to offend him."
Liu Huohuo's face turned pale with fear, and she quickly stopped Chu Lingtian from speaking disrespectfully about Jin Ye.
Crackling!
At this moment, more than a dozen men of various heights, builds, and appearances rushed out of the bar, surrounding Chu Lingtian and Liu Huohuo with menacing attitudes.
A short, plump man looked at Chu Lingtian and Liu Huohuo with the eyes of a dead man and said coldly, "Let's go. Our Jin Ye wants to see you two!"
