A gang of hoodlums saw this scene and were immediately dumbstruck, staring in astonishment at Ling Tianlin, who had kicked out.

"Ling Tian, you hit the wrong person, you should have hit him!" Brother Xiong said bewilderedly.

"Shut your damn mouth!"

Ling Tianlin shouted angrily, turned his head toward Jiang Chen, and gritted his teeth, "Jiang Chen, I'm not here to trouble you."

Though the words sounded harsh, there was an unmistakable hint of submission.

And hearing the name 'Jiang Chen,' those hoodlums turned pale with fear.

They had been following Ling Tianlin the whole time and had heard about how, just before this, at the third gate, Ling Tianlin had gathered over a hundred people—with the result being that all of them were beaten down by Jiang Chen.

This guy must be a freaking beast!

The ten of us going up against him, we're as good as dead!

Brother Xiong, however, was oblivious to this and immediately jumped up, pointing at Jiang Chen and shouting at Ling Tianlin, "Ling Tian, this is the guy your dad's been looking for. Let's get him... Ah!"

"Slap—" Ling Tianlin harshly slapped him across the face, sending Brother Xiong tumbling to the ground.

"I told you to keep your mouth shut, to keep your mouth shut!"

Ling Tianlin spat out angrily, stomping on Brother Xiong with his feet, cursing the guy in his heart.

You think I don't want to beat him?

I've already fought him! He nearly killed me!

And now you expect me to go at him again? Are you trying to get me killed?

All the frustration and humiliation Ling Tianlin felt in front of Jiang Chen, he now vented on Brother Xiong.

"Let's go!" After kicking a few more times, Ling Tianlin was ready to leave.

"Hold on, did I say you could go?"

Jiang Chen's cold voice rang out.

Ling Tianlin froze, trembling slightly, before turning around after a while and staring at Jiang Chen, "What do you mean?"

Without any expression, Jiang Chen glanced at Ling Tianlin, pointing at Brother Xiong, "No big deal, but this guy just tried to kill me. What do you think we should do about that?"

Ling Tianlin clenched his teeth, nodded fiercely, and waved his hand, "Break his legs!"

Brother Xiong was shocked. Seeing Ling Tianlin's henchmen rush over, he immediately knelt down to Ling Tianlin, crying, "Ling Tian, no, I've been loyal to you! Please, no..."

Hearing this, Ling Tianlin almost ground his teeth to dust, looking up at Jiang Chen again.

Jiang Chen was expressionless, just smiling faintly, watching him, not even glancing at Brother Xiong.

"Do it!"

There was no other choice. Even if you were my father, I'd have to do it! Ling Tianlin bit his teeth and howled in madness.

Bang!

Crack!

A few hoodlums stepped forward, pinned Brother Xiong down, and brutally broke his legs.

"Ahh—"

With a scream of agony from Brother Xiong, his eyes rolled back, and he passed out.

"Jiang Chen, are we good now?" Ling Tianlin asked Jiang Chen, with reluctant eyes and gritted teeth.

Jiang Chen said coldly, "Ling Tianlin, if you want revenge, feel free to come at me. But if you dare touch anyone around me, your dad won't be able to save you!"

Ling Tianlin's gaze flickered, but he remained silent.

"Let's go!" Jiang Chen called out to Yè Yùwǎn and the other two ladies; all three nodded simultaneously.

The four turned and left.

As they passed by the bruised and swollen Shanbe Liang, Gong Yue looked down disdainfully. "Notebook, did you see? My brother-in-law is far beyond your league, psh!"

After she spoke, she raised her head and followed Jiang Chen.

Lying on the ground, Shanbe Liang foolishly gazed at the departing figures of Jiang Chen and the others, nearly crying.

Meanwhile, Ling Tianlin watched the backs of Jiang Chen and his companions, his eyes flashing with a cold light!

Afterwards, Ling Tianlin took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, Tian Lin, are you out?" A deep voice came through the receiver.

Ling Tianlin's eyes flashed coldly as he said in a frosty tone, "Dad, I want Jiang Chen dead!"

"You don't need to worry about that; there will be people dealing with him. This kid has plenty of enemies. We don't need to waste our energy on him; just watch," Ling Jianghai's voice was deep and resolute.

Ling Tianlin frowned, somberly saying, "Dad, I want to take revenge with my own hands!"

"Tian Lin, that guy isn't that simple. If we can eliminate him without effort, why bother going through all this trouble? You are not allowed to have any more conflicts with him. He won't last much longer!"

Ling Jianghai directly refused, then hung up the phone.

Looking at his phone emitting a dial tone, Ling Tianlin, frustrated, turned his head once more toward the staircase where Jiang Chen and the others had left, and muttered to himself, "No, I must personally avenge this insult; I must reclaim my face! Since I can't deal with you directly, I'll start with the people around you. I don't believe you can stay by their side all the time!"

"Ling Shao, we..." A group of underlings approached Ling Tianlin, hesitantly speaking up.

Ling Tianlin turned his head to look at the underlings, his voice cold, "Check, look into that guy's background. I want to know everything about him, including information about everyone around him!"

"Yes!" The underlings nodded in agreement.

After walking out of the hotel, Jiang Chen turned to Yè Yùwǎn and the other two, "I've got something to do, you guys head back!"

"What is it? Still going to find that Su Qingqing?" Gong Yue pursed her lips.

Jiang Chen habitually ignored Gong Yue and looked at Yè Yùwǎn, "Yu Wan, don't worry about the company. Just do what you enjoy. I've heard you're running between school, company, and performances—it's too exhausting!"

"I'm fine; I actually like my current life. If you suddenly took one thing away, I'd feel a bit lost," Yè Yùwǎn shook her head with a gentle smile.

She was genuinely satisfied: being in the same school as Jiang Chen, helping him manage the company, singing the songs he wrote. As long as it was related to Jiang Chen, she never felt tired!

"Who is Su Qingqing?" Xiao Yunna couldn't hold back her curiosity and finally asked softly.

"A friend; I'm heading to her place next," Jiang Chen explained with a light laugh.

Xiao Yunna nodded, not probing any further. Sometimes, explanations may not prove someone likes you, but at least they show you're not despised. However, being too forthcoming might lead to annoyance!

And since she had vowed to become Jiang Chen's woman, she needed to be cautious, especially given the number of beautiful women around Jiang Chen.

Afterwards, Jiang Chen headed straight for Qingyun Clinic.

...

Meanwhile, inside Qingyun Clinic, Su Qingqing was facing a rather significant annoyance.

"Qian Fucheng, I'm telling you once again, I have someone I like, and I won't be with you!" Su Qingqing was currently looking rather irritated as she faced a handsome man before her.

Qian Fucheng, the son of Tianfeng Group's chairman, had spotted Su Qingqing shopping some days before and was instantly smitten with her beauty, thereby beginning to harass her relentlessly.

It used to be just at the entrance of the residential area, but today, he had brought people directly to Qingyun Clinic.

This matter greatly troubled Su Qingqing.
