The crowd, upon hearing Lin Wan's words, all looked towards Shen Zhui with gratitude.

Only Jiang Chen wore an expression of indifference.

In any case, no matter what, Xu Gang and his people couldn't harm Ye Jingyi anymore, and that was enough. As for the rest, Jiang Chen didn't care at all.

Moreover, he wasn't even sure whether Xu Gang's departure had anything to do with Zhang Long.

At this moment, Shen Zhui was also full of question marks.

Is it me?

Has my old man become that formidable?

It doesn't seem like it, right?

Faintly, he felt that this matter had nothing to do with his father. But when he turned his head and saw that Ye Jingyi was also looking at him with gratitude, his eyes shifted, and he immediately puffed out his chest, "That's right, it was me! I just said that this matter could definitely be resolved. Even if Xu Gang doesn't give me face, he has to give face to my dad, right? You see, I wasn't boasting, was I?"

"Exactly, exactly."

"Zhui is really impressive."

"What are you calling him Zhui for? He should be called Young Master Shen. Didn't you see Xu Gang was even scared away?"

"That's right, Young Master Shen."

"Young Master Shen."

A bunch of people started to fawn over Shen Zhui.

Shen Zhui stood tall and proud, feeling as if he had reached the pinnacle of life.

Standing aside, Hu Ba frowned, glancing at Jiang Chen and then at Shen Zhui, surrounded by the crowd, a look of contempt in his eyes.

Because of you? Let alone you, even your father would have to kneel before Xu Gang, you're overestimating your Shen Family.

But he said nothing, his orders were to ensure Mr. Jiang's safety and, without disturbing Mr. Jiang, to allow Mr. Jiang to stay in the bar as long as possible. The boss was about to arrive.

Therefore, Hu Ba didn't say much. Seeing that Jiang Chen wasn't arguing and noticing Jiang Chen's attire that resembled that of a construction worker, he concluded that Jiang Chen liked to keep a low profile and not stand out.

Yes, truly powerful people are all like this.

Hu Ba mused to himself, not daring to speak much.

Ye Jingyi also thanked Shen Zhui gratefully and then turned to look at Jiang Chen.

Although the trouble had been resolved because of Shen Zhui's father, the one who had stepped forward to help her when disaster struck was the young man currently standing aside, isolated. Ye Jingyi was very clear about this.

However, Jiang Chen was still too violent and didn't understand the rules.

She had to advise him to recognize his own capabilities. Otherwise, what use would he have other than causing trouble?

Thinking this, Ye Jingyi stepped forward towards Jiang Chen.

But Lin Wan grabbed Ye Jingyi's wrist and shook her head. Turning to glare at Jiang Chen, she shouted angrily, "Jiang Chen, Shen Zhui saved all of us, how can you not even say thank you? This trouble was brought about because of you!"

"Exactly, a son-in-law who doesn't know his own stature dares to hit Mr. Xu? He really has no self-awareness at all!"

"If it wasn't for Young Master Shen, you'd be dead, you know?"

"Look at Young Master Shen, with just a phone call, he handled Xu Gang. That is real power, that is being awesome. Compared to a loser like you, it's like the difference between heaven and earth."

"Really, not even knowing to say thank you, he's lost all face."

Although Ye Jingyi was somewhat grateful to Jiang Chen, she also felt that Jiang Chen was wrong, "Jiang Chen, no matter what, Shen Zhui saved us, you should at least thank him!"

Shen Zhui raised his head even higher, looking down on Jiang Chen, just waiting for Jiang Chen to bow down to him.

Jiang Chen felt annoyed and impatiently glanced at Shen Zhui, then turned to Ye Jingyi, "Since it's all good now, I'll leave first."

"Wow, you really have no shame, you truly don't want to say thanks."

The crowd started to clamor again.

Jiang Chen didn't care and turned to leave.

"You can't go." But then Hu Ba stopped him.

"Haha, you caused trouble on Dragon Lord's turf and think you can just walk away? Wishful thinking."

The crowd laughed heartily, filled with mockery.

But none of them had noticed that Hu Ba had used the respectful term "you."

Jiang Chen slightly furrowed his brow, about to speak, when suddenly a chorus of shouts rang out.

"Lord Long!"

"Lord Long!"

Upon hearing that the legendary Lord Long had arrived, everyone's eyes lit up as they turned toward the entrance of the bar.

Then, a robust middle-aged man quickly stepped into the private room.

"Lord Long, Xu Gang has withdrawn after hearing your words!"

Hu Ba turned and greeted Zhang Long, bowing his head respectfully.

"It's Lord Long!"

"Really, it's Lord Long!"

"Shen Zhui, your dad is so amazing! To be able to ask Lord Long to come?!"

A group of people couldn't help but exclaim in hushed voices.

Shen Zhui's eyes sparkled, internally berating himself:

Dad, oh, dad, after you scolded me, I thought you were out of options too! Who would've thought you'd directly seek out Lord Long? That's so awesome, now Ye Jingyi can't escape!

Seeing Zhang Long's appearance, Jiang Chen had also confirmed that it was Zhang Long who had dealt with Xu Gang, and was about to go up to thank him, but Shen Zhui rushed towards Zhang Long even quicker.

"Lord Long, I really can't thank you enough. I didn't think my dad would disturb even you, Lord Long, it truly makes me feel uneasy," Shen Zhui approached Zhang Long and started speaking with genuine trepidation, yet his glance towards Ye Jingyi and the others carried a thick sense of bragging.

See that? From now on, I'm someone who can speak up in front of Lord Long.

Shen Zhui's buddies looked on with envy. To rely on Lord Long, what a brag, what bliss.

But Zhang Long, faced with Shen Zhui's eager display of courtesy, seemed somewhat stupefied.

Your dad? Could your father be Jiang Chen, Mr. Jiang?

Zhang Long almost blurted out the question, but after a glance at Jiang Chen, he quickly shut his mouth.

Kidding, Mr. Jiang is so young, how could he have possibly fathered a grown guy like you?

So, he turned to Hu Ba at his side.

Hu Ba, the manager, stepped closer and quickly whispered the recent events to Zhang Long, especially mentioning the attitudes of Shen Zhui and the others.

Zhang Long's expression changed immediately, looking at Shen Zhui with cold disdain, and then suddenly slapped him across the face: "Who are you? Does your dad have the clout to make me speak? Get lost, don't get in the way of my business!"

"Slap—" Shen Zhui, slapped in the face again, stood frozen while holding his cheek.

What just happened? Lin Wan and the others were also stunned.

"Thud thud thud—"

Ignoring the foolish-looking Shen Zhui, Zhang Long strode in quick steps towards Jiang Chen, slightly bowed, and started with a sincere apology: "Mr. Jiang, I apologize for the disturbance in my establishment. Please rest assured, I guarantee that nothing like this will ever happen again."

Click!

Just like a bolt of lightning had struck, everyone in the room was dumbfounded.

Shen Zhui and his group were flabbergasted!

Lin Wan was flabbergasted!

Ye Jingyi was flabbergasted too!

Lord Long had actually bowed to Jiang Chen.

He even called Jiang Chen "Mr. Jiang"?

My God, are we seeing things?

How is this possible!

Do you know who Lord Long is?

He is the absolute big shot in Jinhai, a figure who commands respect throughout Jinhai.

Yet now, this big shot was apologizing to Jiang Chen, whom they called a nobody and a son-in-law who showed up at the doorstep, and he did it with such an anxious demeanor.

And Jiang Chen just accepted it as calmly as ever.

This… this really messed up Lin Wan and the others' perceptions completely.
