Upon hearing Chen Ping'an's inquiry, everyone looked a little surprised, but they still answered.

"Of course we know, what about it? A warm-hearted citizen single-handedly took down seventeen human traffickers, and that incident still has quite a buzz. Why do you bring it up all of a sudden?"

Chen Ping'an let out two cold sneers and said proudly, "Because my Uncle Zhang is that righteous man who stepped forward to help, and he's also been recently chosen as Shishi's outstanding youth representative!"

After his declaration, before anyone could react, Chen Ping'an swept his gaze around and challenged, "So, do you understand the significance of 'Shishi Single Guy 15/0/2'? To put it simply, it's 0 injuries, 17 kills! Now you know what kind of man my uncle is, right?"

"PFFT!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the rich kids had yet to react, but Zhang Beixing, who had just taken a sip of water, sprayed it all out, drenching the unlucky fellow in front of him.

Shishi Single Guy... Zhang Beixing thought. It was obviously beyond his expectations that even after changing his ID, his legend still circulated in the pugilist world. Though being remembered was a good thing... for this kid to bring it up in front of so many people—damn him, was he aiming to make me socially dead? Although he, Mr. Zhang, was quite the online personality, in real life, he was still just a shy young man! Thankfully, a KDA was appended to the ID, which somewhat salvaged his dignity.

Wiping his damp lips, Zhang Beixing felt utterly speechless.

The unlucky fellow he had doused, despite getting an unexpected faceful of water, remained unusually quiet because he was simply too dumbfounded to react. And it wasn't just him; every single one of the rich kids present was dumbstruck.

Being part of society's elite class, they were naturally privy to the inside story of the human trafficker incident from a few days ago. Out of the seventeen traffickers, fifteen had been killed on the spot by that courageous and concerned citizen. The remaining two had only just been resuscitated and were out of immediate danger, but they were still in a coma with no hope of awakening anytime soon. In other words, the two remaining were as good as dead, so Chen Ping'an's claim of 17 kills wasn't an exaggeration.

Initially, they hadn't taken it very seriously, thinking that Shishi was so large they were unlikely to ever encounter the man. Even if they did, no conflict would arise. But they hadn't anticipated that today, while they were here to celebrate Sophia Zhou's birthday, they would actually meet this long-renowned tough guy in person!

Not to mention, besides this event, Zhang Beixing had also been recognized as the outstanding youth representative of their Shishi. He was a pure symbol of Shishi's positive energy, practically an official endorsement!

The group of rich kids exchanged glances, all reading the same understanding in each other's eyes. We can't afford to offend him; this guy has really killed people. Holy shit! He's so badass, why didn't he say so earlier? If he had just mentioned it sooner, we'd all have come bearing gifts to pay our respects! None of this would have happened!

Unfortunately, Zhang Beixing hadn't said anything, and what was done was done.

Then, just as Zhang Beixing prepared to step off the kang bed to have a proper chat with them, these rich kids, without any rehearsal and including Xu Yu who was courting Sophia Zhou, all bowed low in unison. "Sorry for the disturbance, Uncle Zhang, we'll be leaving now!"

Having said that, they didn't wait for Zhang Beixing's response and dashed off as if escaping a famine, faces flushed and necks red, scrambling over each other to leave.

In just a few short seconds, the private room, which had become rather crowded with their arrival, was now left with only Zhang Beixing, Sophia Zhou, and Chen Ping'an.

Chen Ping'an was a bit baffled, clearly not expecting his friends to capitulate so quickly. Seeing Zhang Beixing's gaze fall upon him, Chen Ping'an, who had originally wanted to strike up a conversation, noticed the somewhat unfriendly glint in Zhang Beixing's eyes and Sophia Zhou beside him. Realizing this wasn't the time for small talk, he said to Zhang Beixing, "I won't disturb your meal, Uncle Zhang," and quickly left the private room.

Seeing the group of rich kids muttering among themselves before suddenly departing, Sophia Zhou's face was a picture of bewilderment. ??? "What's going on?" she murmured, watching the group who had rushed in so eagerly now flee in panic. She was utterly confused and couldn't grasp what had just happened.

You see, while these rich kids might not have been overtly arrogant and generally abided by the law, avoiding trouble, they were still known to be quite difficult to handle. And now, merely because someone had mentioned Zhang Beixing's name, they had all been scared off? This...

Come to think of it, it makes sense, Sophia Zhou thought to herself, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Zhang Beixing. After all, Classmate Beixing did accidentally kill people during that human trafficker chase. Anyone would be frightened by that. As expected of Classmate Beixing, he's truly amazing! I admire him so much!

Zhang Beixing spread his hands helplessly. I also want to keep a low profile, but Shishi just won't allow it! It's clear I've gained some fame and made some achievements in Shishi now. How to describe this feeling... It's a bit sudden, and I'm not quite used to it, but damn, it really is exhilarating! Looks like I'll have to do more good deeds from now on and not worry about what the future holds.

The little commotion didn't affect their appetite; they soon put the slightly melodramatic incident behind them.
