"Alright! Please rest assured, Mr. Jiang."

Lin Bingrui nodded at Jiang Chen, then turned to look at Qian Zhengkun; he didn't utter a single word, but his eyes were filled with murderous intent. He didn't even bother to glance at Qian Fucheng and Xu Ruozhe; they were beneath his personal attention.

"Pres, President Lin..."

Qian Zhengkun was petrified. Although Lin Bingrui didn't speak, his gaze was lethal!

In that moment, he realized he must make his stance clear to satisfy Lin Bingrui.

Thus, without further words, he looked at his still stunned son Qian Fucheng and, without hesitation, rushed over and viciously kicked him.

"Ah—" With a scream, Qian Fucheng was sent tumbling over.

Then, Qian Fucheng was yanked up by his father and received a fierce slap across his face.

Slap!

The crisp sound of the slap left Qian Fucheng's face blooming with red marks.

Thump!

Ker-thump!

Qian Zhengkun followed up with a kick to the bend of Qian Fucheng's knee, forcing him to kneel before Jiang Chen.

"Kowtow and apologize to Mr. Jiang!"

Qian Zhengkun shoved Qian Fucheng in the back, making him fall prostrate at Jiang Chen's feet.

"And you!" Qian Zhengkun glared at Xu Ruozhe through clenched teeth!

Ker-thump!

Another muffled sound followed as Xu Ruozhe scrambled up to Jiang Chen, immediately kneeling. He had realized that Jiang Chen was too influential, and having offended such a figure, he must apologize!

Therefore, Xu Ruozhe knelt down and shouted, "Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I shouldn't have provoked you, I won't harass Su Qingqing again, please spare me!"

Upon observing Xu Ruozhe, Jiang Chen did regard him in a new light, capable of being flexible, knowing when to be bold - although misdirected, this ability to know when to kneel was indeed like innocent passion!

Qian Zhengkun was briefly stunned by Xu Ruozhe's attitude before he looked at his own son and nearly exploded with anger. What are you waiting for? Hurry and kowtow your apology!

Thump!

Qian Zhengkun kicked his son Qian Fucheng again, then bowed himself and said, "Mr. Jiang, I truly apologize for the offense earlier!"

At the same time, he frantically signaled Qian Fucheng with his eyes.

With Lin Bingrui personally standing up for Jiang Chen, his own son was not immediately apologizing, allowing someone else to take the initiative. If this made Lin Bingrui feel that he and his son were disrespecting him, that would spell trouble!

"I'm sorry! I was wrong," Qian Fucheng said, though somewhat unwillingly.

Thump!

"You'd better speak properly and apologize with a kowtow!" Qian Zhengkun, sensing the tone was amiss and becoming panicked, kicked Qian Fucheng once more.

After looking at his father, Qian Fucheng kowtowed to Jiang Chen and said again, "I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang, I was wrong!"

Jiang Chen took notice but didn't care, and smiled lightly, "If you're dissatisfied, you can come at me anytime, by any means necessary. However, if you dare harm anyone around me, I'll make sure you meet an ugly end!"

"I wouldn't dare, I certainly wouldn't dare!" Qian Zhengkun hastily waved his hands and said with a servile smile.

Jiang Chen ignored Qian Zhengkun, turning instead to Su Qingqing, "Are you still planning to stay here and play?"

Su Qingqing looked dazed and involuntarily shook her head.

"Then let's go," said Jiang Chen with a smile.

"Okay!" Su Qingqing nodded. She would listen to whatever Jiang Chen said.

After giving Lin Bingrui a nod, Jiang Chen turned and headed toward the door, with Su Qingqing and Lin Bingrui immediately following in step.

"My god, who... who exactly is he?"

"To make President Lin bow, he must be more than just a clinic doctor!"

"Impressive! To have President Lin bow, this is..."

"Xu Ruozhe has made a fool of himself! He's really hit a steel plate this time!"

"What steel plate? More like a titanium alloy steel plate!"

The fellow students quietly discussed among themselves. They hadn't dared to say a word when Lin Bingrui was present.

Xu Ruozhe slowly stood up and, watching the backs of Jiang Chen and the other two, a look of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.

"You little brat!" Suddenly, a bout of cursing erupted. Qian Zhengkun was glaring at Qian Fucheng, berating him, "Didn't you say he was just a clinic doctor? Would a clinic doctor make President Lin so respectful?!"

"I... When I met him, it really was in Qing Qing's clinic!" Qian Fucheng said bitterly.

Qian Zhengkun glared at Qian Fucheng, then turned his head toward Xu Ruozhe and let out his anger, "Aren't you two in this together? How could you not know? Were you deliberately trying to screw us over?"

"No, I..." Xu Ruozhe was startled and began to explain.

Qian Zhengkun interrupted with a shout, "No need to explain! Your family's done for!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Zhengkun pulled Qian Fucheng toward the club's entrance, leaving a vexed Xu Ruozhe who innocently took the blame, and a bunch of classmates who had no idea what to do!

...

"Mr. Jiang," Lin Bingrui called out as they left the club.

Jiang Chen turned his head, looking puzzled at Lin Bingrui.

"Mr. Jiang, I still haven't been able to find the mastermind behind the recent assassination attempt on Zhi Yan. Could I... trouble you to protect her for a while? I'm worried about her safety," Lin Bingrui asked, looking hopefully at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback, thought for a moment, and gently shook his head, "Close protection is out of the question, I have other matters. If there's any situation, you can give me a call, and I'll come over."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Jiang!" Lin Bingrui expressed his gratitude. He hadn't dared to expect Jiang Chen to protect Lin Zhiyan personally. Jiang Chen's willingness to help upon a call was already something he deeply appreciated.

"Alright, if there's anything, contact me by phone. I'll be heading off now!" After saying goodbye to Lin Bingrui, Jiang Chen left with Su Qingqing toward his car.

After sending Su Qingqing home, Jiang Chen returned to Gong Lin's home.

...

Dingjing University.

Shanben Liang, with bruises still on his face, stood gloomily at the university entrance, reflecting on the humiliating experience at the bar that made him feel sorrowful about this trip to Dingjing.

"Shanben teacher!" A voice called out, and Xu Zhiyan ran out from the school gate.

Shanben Liang turned to look at Xu Zhiyan, forcing a smile on his face.

Xu Zhiyan had studied martial arts under Shanben Liang in Beihai National, and Shanben Liang liked this student because Xu Zhiyan truly believed martial arts were the strongest. Shanben Liang enjoyed the blind worship of martial arts from people like him.

"Shanben teacher, what brings you here?" A delighted Xu Zhiyan inquired.

Putting aside his pessimistic thoughts, Shanben Liang adopted the posture of a Grandmaster, lifting his head high, "I'm here to open a martial arts gym in Dingjing, to show the people of Flame Dragon Kingdom the strength of our martial arts, and to spread the martial arts culture of Beihai National!"

"The teacher opening a martial arts gym will surely shock the entire Dingjing city!" Xu Zhiyan said with reverence.

Shanben Liang indulged in the compliments from Xu Zhiyan, replying with a faint smile, "How have you been recently? Last time you mentioned, you turned the martial arts club into Dingjing University's number one society—not bad at all!"

Xu Zhiyan's expression changed slightly; he furrowed his brows and said solemnly, "Teacher, can you do me a favor?"
