Bao Qiang listened, slightly taken aback, and then realized that the big boss was also looking to inquire about Mr. Jiang. This Mr. Jiang really was something!

"Yes!" Bao Qiang thought as he nodded, responding, "I've had dealings with Mr. Jiang because..."

After explaining how he knew Jiang Chen, Bao Qiang nervously looked at Lin Bingrui, wondering if the big boss would deal with him for having offended Mr. Jiang.

"I see!" Lin Bingrui's eyes flickered with deep thought.

So, Mr. Jiang was actually a martial arts expert? Could he be a martial artist? If he truly were a martial artist, perhaps that matter...

At this thought, Lin Bingrui's eyes lit up.

That's perfect, my top fighter got injured. It seems it's time to ask Mr. Jiang for a favor.

...

In the Dingjing residence of the Gong Family, Gong Yue sat on the sofa, frowning and glancing at the darkening sky outside, muttering to herself, "This damn Jiang Chen, why hasn't he come back yet!"

Even though she still resented Jiang Chen, ever since she witnessed his skills the other day, she also found him very impressive and reliable. Now, whatever she wanted to do, she would think of Jiang Chen. She was planning to attend a classmate's birthday party tonight and had wanted to wait for Jiang Chen to return so they could go together, but it was already dark and Jiang Chen hadn't come back yet.

Pulling out her phone, Gong Yue found Jiang Chen's number and was about to make a call.

The room door made a sound and Jiang Chen walked in from outside.

"Jiang Chen, you know how to come back! Come on, go with me to my classmate's birthday party!" Gong Yue suddenly leaped up from the sofa and, without saying another word, tried to drag Jiang Chen with her.

Jiang Chen glanced at Gong Yue and said indifferently, "I'm not going."

"Why won't you go?" Gong Yue glared at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen couldn't help but laugh, "Why should I go?"

"You... if you don't go, I'll tell my sister that you just watched me get drunk at the bar and did nothing!" Gong Yue's eyes rolled, and she looked up at Jiang Chen, "Then, watch as I completely ruin your good image in front of my sister."

Jiang Chen was not in the least bit afraid, "Heh, you can try and see whether your sister believes me or you."

"You…"

Gong Yue was so infuriated she felt like going mad, but she was powerless. Gong Lin really did favor Jiang Chen outrageously, which infuriated her.

Jiang Chen, with a smile still on his face, said, "I'll go if you ask me nicely, bow your head and beg me."

"You wish..." Gong Yue still wanted to play hard to get, but seeing Jiang Chen's unamused expression, she softened and directly grabbed his hand, gritting her teeth as she pleaded, "Please, kind brother-in-law, will you do it for me?"

"Are you trying to eat me? Say it with a nicer tone."

"Kind brother-in-law."

"Nicer."

"Kind… brother… in-law…"

Gong Yue, pushed to the brink of tears, finally got Jiang Chen to agree: "Alright, let's go!"

...

The Night Return Bar.

Gong Yue had brought Jiang Chen here.

Boom! Thump thump thump!

As soon as they entered the bar, the deafening sound of music filled their ears, making Jiang Chen frown instantly; he truly disliked such places.

"Gong Yue!" A shout came, and Jiang Chen turned his head to look. At a table in the second-floor VIP area, several young men and women were waving at Gong Yue.

Gong Yue led Jiang Chen over and took a seat beside a girl.

Jiang Chen slightly furrowed his brows; there were already more than a dozen empty bottles on the table in front of them, indicating they had been drinking for a while.

"What are you doing here? Don't bodyguards have any self-awareness? Get lost quickly and don't spoil our fun!" a young man shouted, pointing at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen was taken aback and turned to look at Gong Yue, who deliberately turned her head away, ignoring him.

Jiang Chen pursed his lips, thinking how quickly this girl could turn on someone. However, he didn't call her out and ignored the ranting rich second generation, taking the empty seat beside Gong Yue instead.

"Hey, didn't you hear me talking to you? Huh? Do you think someone like you is worthy to sit with us and drink?"

The young man, seeing Jiang Chen disregard him, was instantly enraged. He stepped forward, poking Jiang Chen in the chest. Jiang Chen remained motionless, prompting the young man to say with disdain, "You're really good at pretending! But someone like you is obviously useless; you're just for show. In a real situation, you would be hiding at the back. Look, take a look at my bodyguards at the door..."

With that, he pointed to several burly men at the entrance: "See that? Now they're impressive! How about, you compare your skills with them?"

The other young men and women also got excited and began mocking him one after another.

"Li Hao, aren't you making it difficult for the guy? Look at his build; he's clearly no match for your bodyguards!"

"Exactly, Gong Yue, what kind of bodyguard did you find? I'll get you some decent ones next time. This one is just a poser with no substance!"

Gong Yue let out a slight laugh, her face full of mockery as she looked at Jiang Chen, who glanced back at her impassively and smacked Li Hao's hand away.

"Oh, you dare to hit me, I..."

Li Hao's face changed, about to explode with anger, but suddenly Jiang Chen gave him a cold look, and he felt a shiver run through his body, a sudden urgency hitting him.

Damn, what the hell is this? Did he scare me? Li Hao was stunned, then denied it to himself, deciding he just needed to use the restroom.

Thereupon, he pointed at Jiang Chen's nose: "Just wait, I'll deal with you after I come back from the restroom."

No sooner had he spoken than Li Hao gave a heads up to a young man beside him and headed off to the restroom.

The young man glanced at Jiang Chen and stood up, walking towards the bar entrance.

"I'm going to the restroom too. Come on, protect me!" Gong Yue stood up and gestured to Jiang Chen, beckoning him over as if he were truly her bodyguard.

Jiang Chen rolled his eyes at Gong Yue but did not object. He got up and followed her to the restroom.

However, the moment Jiang Chen and she reached the restroom doorway, they ran into Li Hao coming out.

Li Hao, clearly a man of ill repute, saw a rather attractive woman washing her hands by the sink; her body was fantastic, and he couldn't help but cop a feel of her buttocks.

"You…" The woman frowned and glared at Li Hao, who laughed: "Babe, how about having a few drinks with your bro?"

The woman glared at Li Hao and pushed him away, leaving the restroom.

Jiang Chen frowned slightly, a flash of disgust in his eyes.

Gong Yue glanced at Li Hao and then turned and walked into the restroom. Once Li Hao finished washing his hands and saw Jiang Chen standing at the restroom entrance, he commented with a sneer, "Wow, what a dedicated bodyguard you are, even accompanying to the restroom. Are you a bodyguard or a nanny? Do you also stick around when Gong Yue sleeps? You're not Gong Yue's kept man, are you? Then, I can't really let the bodyguards handle you!"

"Li Hao, what nonsense are you talking about? You're drunk!" Gong Yue fiercely glared at Li Hao as she came out of the restroom.

"Gong Yue, don't be angry. Of course I know you wouldn't go for trash like him; I'm just teasing him for fun," Li Hao quickly explained to Gong Yue.

Jiang Chen gave Li Hao a cold look and then turned to head back to their table.

"Hey, is your bodyguard mute or something? He sure loves to play it cool," Li Hao said with a look of contempt.

"He's not mute. As for whether he's really cool or not, why don't you try him out?" Gong Yue taunted Li Hao and then followed Jiang Chen back to their table.

Li Hao paused, his mouth curving in a smirk, "Try him out? Sure, I'm scared!"
