Entering the hotel, Jiang Chen and two others got on the elevator, and Dong Yu pressed the button for the fifth floor.

"Dong Yu, aren't you from Linshi? How come you attended high school here?" Jiang Chen turned his head and looked at Dong Yu with puzzled eyes.

Dong Yu smiled lightly and explained, "My mom is from Zheng City, I grew up with my grandparents!"

"Oh!" Jiang Chen nodded slightly.

Ding!

The elevator reached the fifth floor, and the three of them walked out towards a small banquet hall.

The banquet hall had five round tables, four of which were already filled with people, and only the main table had a few seats empty, occupied only by three men and two women.

"Lin Chao, I heard that Zhang Wenkang has also returned!" A young man in a silver suit at the main table said meaningfully to a young man in a blue suit beside him.

Lin Chao scoffed disdainfully, "That trash, thinking he can compete with me for Dong Yu? He's really overestimating himself!"

"Exactly, Young Master Lin is the eldest heir of the Lin Family. How can that laborer Zhang Wenkang compare to you!" another young man added supportively.

"Dong Yu is here!"

"Yu Xiaoxiao is here too!"

"Wow! The two goddesses are still so beautiful!"

"Hey, who is that guy? He doesn't seem to be from our class, right? Did Dong Yu bring him?"

A flurry of shouts erupted, and everyone in the banquet hall turned to look towards the entrance.

At the entrance of the banquet hall, Jiang Chen and his two companions walked in.

Seeing Jiang Chen, Lin Chao's eyes narrowed slightly, a cold glint flashing through them.

After scanning the five tables in the hall, Yu Xiaoxiao whispered, "It seems Lin Chao has already arranged everything, forcing you to sit at the same table with him."

Dong Yu glanced at the main table and her face slightly changed. She turned and apologetically looked at Jiang Chen, "Jiang... Jiang Chen, there might be some trouble later, but don't worry, I'll handle it."

"No need!"

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, "It's not right to let the girl stand up for things. But you, girl, are really something, using me as a shield."

Dong Yu stuck out her tongue playfully and smiled sweetly, relieved to see that Jiang Chen was not angry.

"Xiao Yu, Xiao Xiao, you're here." Lin Chao approached with a smile on his face.

Dong Yu gave Lin Chao a glance and took Jiang Chen's arm, speaking indifferently, "Let me introduce, this is my friend, Jiang Chen, and please, don't call me Xiao Yu."

"Mr. Jiang, hello, my name is Lin Chao, and I was the class leader of... Dong Yu back in high school."

Lin Chao reached out his hand to Jiang Chen, but changed his address after being glared at by Dong Yu.

"Hello!"

Jiang Chen smiled slightly and shook hands with Lin Chao.

Hmm?

After shaking hands, Jiang Chen tried to pull his hand back, but found that Lin Chao was holding it tightly.

The people in the banquet hall also noticed this scene and watched with interest.

"Daring to compete with Young Master Lin for a woman, this Jiang Chen is really tired of living, considering Master Lin is a Martial Artist!"

"Hmph! I don't know where this pretty boy came from, messing with Master Lin in Zheng City is literally seeking death!"

"Exactly, just wait, his hand bones will be broken soon!"

"No, not in front of Dong Yu, Master Lin won't directly crush his hand, but… this guy definitely won't have it easy!"

The people in the banquet hall quietly mocked.

At a table near the window, a young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses brightened up when he heard the name 'Jiang Chen', glanced over at Jiang Chen, and a flash of murderous intent briefly flitted through his eyes.

Jiang Chen's brow furrowed slightly as he glanced towards the window side; he was extremely sensitive to murderous intent.

"May I ask where Mr. Jiang is employed?" Lin Chao spoke slowly, his hand gradually tightening its grip.

Dong Yu and Xiao Xiao exchanged surprised glances as they watched Lin Chao holding Jiang Chen's hand, then looked at each other with a mix of amusement and disbelief in their eyes.

Is Lin Chao... wrestling with a Semi Venerable Venerable Realm master?

Has he lost his mind?

"It's quite a coincidence, I work at Yi Chen!" Jiang Chen said with a faint smile, his palm lightly clenched.

Crack!

A crisp cracking sound echoed.

"His hand's broken, that young man's hand is broken!"

"Serves him right!"

"Lin is as direct as always!"

"Now that young man knows what he's dealing with, probably about to run away with his tail between his legs soon!"

People in the banquet hall started discussing animatedly.

Crack!

The crisp sound rang out again, Jiang Chen exerted force while faintly smiling, "May I ask where your honored team leader is employed?"

"I..."

Lin Chao's forehead oozed cold sweat and his complexion turned pale as he tried to withdraw his hand, only to find it clamped like by vice, unable to pull back. He gritted his teeth and said, "I am the eldest young master of the Lin Family, you—you better let go of me!"

"The Lin Family?"

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow, turned his head towards Dong Yu, and casually released his hand.

Thump, thump!

Lin Chao took two steps back, his hands shivering slightly in his pockets, his eyes revealing a cold glare.

"The Lin Family is a first-rate Martial Arts Family in Zheng City, associated with the Yue Family!" Dong Yu explained quietly.

"Oh." Jiang Chen nodded, unconcerned.

"Let's go over and sit!" Yu Xiaoxiao glanced at Lin Chao and softly called out.

Today was their high school reunion, and Yu Xiaoxiao didn't want it to become too awkward.

The three of them no longer paid attention to Lin Chao, turning and walking towards the main table. Lin Chao, with a gloomy face, stood there, his eyes following Jiang Chen's party's every step.

"What's going on? That young man's hand seems fine?"

"Impossible, didn't we just hear a sound? How could there be nothing?"

"Look at Lin Chao's arm, it's trembling. Could it be that Jiang Chen broke Lin Chao's hand?"

"It looks like Lin Chao really suffered a loss this time!"

"Holy shit, is Jiang Chen really that formidable? But if Lin Chao suffers, he'll only die a more miserable death!"

The classmates discussed among themselves, their looks towards Jiang Chen filled with increasing scorn.

At this moment, Jiang Chen and his party had arrived next to the main table, and after glancing over the seats, Jiang Chen understood the situation.

There were four people sitting at the main table with four spots vacant, three of which were connected and the other opposite these three.

Lin Chao certainly knew Dong Yu and Yu Xiaoxiao came together, and they would want to sit together. Among the three vacant spots, one already had a cup filled with tea water in front, which must be Lin Chao's spot, intending to have Dong Yu and Yu Xiaoxiao sit beside him.

"Let's sit here!" Jiang Chen spoke softly, directly taking the middle seat among the three vacant ones.

Since he had agreed to come with Dong Yu, he might as well get rid of the nuisance for good, considering they were also friends.

"Jiang Chen, right? This isn't your place to sit." The young man in the silver formal suit spoke coldly.
