Back in the private room, the young man who had gone to the doorway had already called Li Hao's bodyguard over. Seeing Jiang Chen return, he spoke with mockery, "I thought you had run away. So, you didn't? Are you back to get a beating?"

Jiang Chen still didn't speak and simply took a seat on his own.

"Come here." Li Hao returned to the table and gestured to his bodyguard with his fingers, pointing at Jiang Chen and saying, "Give him a try…"

But before he could finish his sentence, a shout suddenly interrupted, "It's him!"

Everyone turned to look; the woman who had been slapped on the butt by Li Hao was pointing at him with a man with a buzz cut standing beside her, her voice shrill, "It was him who slapped my butt!"

Jiang Chen's eyebrows raised, his eyes narrowing. He sensed a Blood Fiend Aura from the woman's boyfriend, a sign that this man had killed before.

However, Li Hao and his group failed to perceive this and began to laugh and jest.

"Li Hao, impressive! Just a trip to the restroom and you've already hooked up with someone? She came looking for you?"

"Pshaw, 'hooked up,' my ass. I just touched a bit, but it was quite elastic, haha."

Li Hao smirked and, while speaking, even raised the hand he used, laughing heartily.

The others laughed along, completely disregarding the couple.

Seeing this, the buzz-cut man's eyes emitted a cold light as he pointed at Li Hao and snorted coldly, "Kid, you dare to be so arrogant after harassing my girlfriend? Are you tired of living?"

Li Hao laughed wildly, "So what if I harassed her? It's her luck that I took an interest!"

"You're asking for it!" the man suddenly shouted fiercely and threw a punch at Li Hao.

Bang bang!

Li Hao's bodyguards rushed to intervene, and surprisingly, they were quite capable. They hadn't lost despite being outnumbered, and after landing several solid hits, they managed to subdue the man and gave him a severe beating.

Jiang Chen didn't move. He glanced at the triumphant Li Hao and thought to himself, these guys have messed with someone they shouldn't have!

"You all just wait."

The man broke free from the bodyguards, left a threatening comment, and left, teeth gritted, dragging the woman with him.

"Haha, sure, I'll be waiting!"

Li Hao laughed arrogantly, then turned to Jiang Chen with a mocking tone, "Aren't you a bodyguard too? Why are you sitting there doing nothing? Scared? Or do you think you're some kind of Bodhisattva who doesn't commit the sin of anger?"

Jiang Chen ignored Li Hao and turned to Gong Yue, and finally spoke, "Gong Yue, this guy has stirred up trouble with someone he shouldn't have. Let's get out of here."

"Go? What do you mean!" Gong Yue widened her eyes in disbelief.

"Haha, looks like he's scared out of his wits, huh? And he's a bodyguard? Maybe Gong Yue has been protecting you all along?" Li Hao burst into laughter at this, laughing so hard his stomach ached.

"Exactly, he's such a coward. Gong Yue, where did you find such an 'excellent' bodyguard?"

"What a waste! For someone like him to be a bodyguard, it's a disgrace to all bodyguards!"

The other men and women also joined in the mocking, showing utter contempt.

Gong Yue glared at Jiang Chen fiercely, feeling he had embarrassed her. She decided she could never bring Jiang Chen out with her again.

"You loser, if you want to go, go by yourself!"

Li Hao looked at Jiang Chen with disdain. He then patted his chest and assured, "As for Gong Yue's safety, I will take care of it. If you beg me, maybe I'll extend my protection to you too, even if it were the King of Heaven himself, I'd take care of it. If worst comes to worst, I'll get my dad to handle it; he'll make sure to lay them out!"

Jiang Chen glanced at Li Hao, chuckled coldly, and shook his head. Turning again to Gong Yue, he saw that she had no intention of leaving, so he decided to continue sitting there.

Having realized they had provoked someone potentially untouchable, he couldn't possibly let Gong Yue get involved. If he left now, he really wouldn't be at ease!

Gong Yue saw that Jiang Chen had stopped mentioning leaving after Li Hao's words, she got even angrier, glared at Jiang Chen again, and ignored him from then on!

Li Hao did not continue to dwell on Jiang Chen, considering that he had already made Jiang Chen lose enough face. Paying him any more attention would only bring down his own dignity.

A group of people began drinking and chatting, with no one paying any attention to Jiang Chen, and Jiang Chen was happy to enjoy the peace.

Suddenly!

"Thud thud thud—"

A burst of hurried footsteps sounded, and Jiang Chen turned his head to look, his eyebrows raising:

Here it comes!

He saw the man who had been beaten away by Li Hao earlier, leading a group of more than twenty young men charging over, ferociously encircling Gong Yue and the others in the middle.

The people nearby, seeing this show of force, were all scared away, fearing they might get into trouble.

Gong Yue and the others were startled and their complexions changed.

"Who, who exactly are you?" Li Hao asked the man in shock, a sense of alarm growing within him. He realized now that he might have truly offended someone he shouldn't have!

"Hmph, my name is Lei Hu!" the man announced himself.

Lei Hu?!

Upon hearing this name, Li Hao exploded inside.

Fuck, this is the boss of this area! How did we end up offending him!

Isn't this just seeking death?!

"You, you guys, get him!" But Li Hao still tried to appear calm, shouting at his bodyguards.

The bodyguards turned pale, realizing from the looks of those men that they were dealing with real tough characters, and they were no match. But they couldn't disobey their master's orders, so with a sense of resignation, they glanced at each other and charged forward.

"Go!" Lei Hu scoffed with a cold laugh and waved his hand again.

Roar!

A large number of his followers swarmed. And Lei Hu himself stared coldly at Li Hao and the others.

By this time, Li Hao and the others were already scared and tried to escape in the chaos. Gong Yue also wanted to run but was caught by Jiang Chen.

"Thinking of running? Dream on!"

Lei Hu waved his hand again, and he and his other followers charged at Li Hao.

Bang Bang Bang!

"Ah!"

Gong Yue turned her head just about to scold Jiang Chen when a series of muffled noises and screams erupted. When she quickly looked back, Li Hao and the others, who had tried to run, were beaten back by Lei Hu's men, all disfigured, a sight too ghastly to endure. And turning again, she saw the bodyguards lying on the ground, wailing non-stop.

Everyone was stupefied. Li Hao swallowed hard and approached Lei Hu with a forced smile, "Brother Hu, I'm sorry, that... I didn't realize it was you, I was blind. However, my father is Li Chenggang, could you possibly, in consideration of his reputation, let this matter...?"

"Slap—"

Lei Hu slapped Li Hao hard across the face, barking angrily, "Didn't realize it? Were you deaf just now?"

"Bang!"

Lei Hu kicked Li Hao in the stomach, throwing him to the ground and then brutally stomping on Li Hao's head. Leaning over menacingly, he sneered:

"Kid, had you not mentioned it, I wouldn't have known your dad is Li Chenggang! Well, that's perfect, since you groped my girlfriend, I'm chopping off one of your hands, and since your people hit me, I'll chop off another hand and a foot. Then let your dad bring fifty million to buy back your little life. Otherwise, let your dad prepare for your funeral!"

"Ah!" A group of men and women screamed in terror, dumbfounded, huddling together on the booth seats.

Jiang Chen gave a cold laugh, simply watching without intervening; after all, he had already warned them, and this was all Li Hao's fault. It had nothing to do with him; his only concern was to ensure Gong Yue's safety.

But just as he thought this, Jiang Chen's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a hint of cold light flashed in his eyes.
