"Haha, Jing Yi, let me tell you..."
The next morning, having had dinner after getting up, Jiang Chen went to Ye Jingyi's room to give her acupuncture and massage. Gong Lin and Yè Yùwǎn, who were enjoying a rare rest, stood by and talked to Ye Jingyi about recent events.
The three of them chatted back and forth, and although ostensibly they were talking to Ye Jingyi, it was also somewhat intended for Jiang Chen to hear.
The room echoed intermittently with Gong Lin and Yè Yùwǎn's laughter, like silver bells, and Jiang Chen too wore a relaxed smile.
This kind of smile only appeared on Jiang Chen's face when he was with the likes of Yè Yùwǎn. Now, Jiang Chen had shed his past forbearance, like a sword waiting to be drawn from its sheath, silently awaiting his enemies' arrival. Only in front of Yè Yùwǎn and the other women would he conceal all his sharpness.
Amid laughter and light-hearted chatter, the room felt filled with joy, as if they were one true family, brimming with warmth.
After the acupuncture and massage session, Jiang Chen and the others went to the living room to play cards together.
"Jiang Chen, come out here!"
"Jiang Chen, roll out here!"
...
Indistinct noises of commotion drifted into the living room, causing Jiang Chen and the others to slightly change their expressions and look towards the window in unison.
At the villa's entrance, three young men and women were leading nearly forty men in black, blocking the villa's gate and shouting loudly, while Xuan Long and another stood coldly at the villa's gates, staring at them.
"I'll go take a look," Jiang Chen said indifferently, placing his cards on the coffee table as he got up and walked out.
Gong Lin exchanged a look with the other, harboring no worries about Jiang Chen. They knew his capabilities well; the people at the gate were simply no match for him.
A sudden gleam appeared in Yè Yùwǎn's eyes. She raised an eyebrow at Gong Lin and glanced at the retreating figure of Jiang Chen as he stepped out, reaching out to pick up Jiang Chen's hand of cards.
"Ah..." Gong Lin was surprised and opened her mouth to stop her, but just as she began to speak, she seemed to have a second thought, gave Yè Yùwǎn a white look, and didn't stop her from peeking at Jiang Chen's cards.
Unaware that his cards had been completely checked out, Jiang Chen walked out expressionless, arriving at the gate and sweeping his gaze over the crowd blocking the entrance.
The three youths at the forefront, two men and one woman, stood together. The man in the middle was pallid, his body frail as if he could be blown down by a gust of wind. The man on the left wore a crisp suit, his hair slicked with an excess of hair gel, shining brightly. The woman on the right was dressed in a short dress, her phoenix eyes staring fixedly at Jiang Chen.
"Jiang Chen, you've got guts! How dare you disrespect the Four Great Aristocratic Families? Do you want to live?" The man in the middle, upon seeing Jiang Chen come out, arrogantly bellowed.
"People from the Four Great Aristocratic Families? Which family are you from?" Jiang Chen asked indifferently.
The man in the middle stepped forward, head held high, and declared, "I am Zhou Chengkun from the Zhou Family!"
"I am Lin Yue'er from the Lin Family!"
"Yue Family's Yue Long!"
The other two stepped forward, loudly announcing their names, their faces full of arrogance, as if stating their names would force Jiang Chen to kneel!
"Oh," Jiang Chen responded indifferently.
"Oh what? Jiang Chen, kneel and apologize right now, or I'll level this place today!" Zhou Chengkun shouted arrogantly, glancing over Xuan Long and others, with a confident air.
In his view, with over forty men on his side and only a handful on Jiang Chen's, victory seemed assured!
Unfortunately, they hadn't attended Fang Tianze's funeral the day before, or else they wouldn't have held such views. And obviously, their fathers wouldn't admit to something as embarrassing as their men being defeated by Yan Hu, leading to Zhou Chengkun and the others being unaware of Jiang Chen and his associates' true combat strength!
"Apologize? You're right, I'm waiting for your apologies," Jiang Chen nodded and looked at Zhou Chengkun impassively. "So, are you apologizing together, or one by one?"
"What, us apologize? I told you to apologize!" Zhou Chengkun's eyes widened, and he shouted loudly.
Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke detachedly, "You disturbed our card game, shouldn't you apologize?"
"What?"
"Hahaha... Kid, are you sick in the head? We interrupt your card game and you demand an apology? Who do you think you are?"
"Absolutely ridiculous! You have no self-awareness at all!"
Zhou Chengkun and his two companions burst into laughter.
"So noisy!" Jiang Chen shook his head slightly and snapped, "Slap them!"
"Yes!"
Yan Hu and Xuan Long moved forward to slap Zhou Chengkun and his companions.
The bodyguards from the three families rushed forward to shield them.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The sound of rushing air filled the room as Yan Hu and Xuan Long didn't stop their advance. The dozen or so men in unique uniforms standing behind Jiang Chen moved, quickly surpassing Yan Hu and Xuan Long to charge at the bodyguards from the three families.
"To hell with it, beat them to a pulp!" Zhou Chengkun, seeing Jiang Chen's defiance, became furious and shouted loudly.
Bang bang bang!
Thud!
"Aaah!"
Sounds of impacts, screams, and heavy objects hitting the ground rose and fell in succession. Yan Hu and his companion had not even reached Zhou Zhengkun and his two companions when all the bodyguards from the three families were already lying on the ground.
Zhou Zhengkun and his companions' faces turned pale as they stared in shock at the men in uniforms.
They could never have imagined that Jiang Chen's men were so skilled. Xuan Long and his companion were less than ten meters away from them, a distance that would take just a few seconds to cover. Yet, in those few seconds, nearly forty bodyguards from their families were taken down.
This shook the three of them to their core!
"What do you think you're doing? We are from the Four Great Aristocratic Families..."
Slap!
Zhou Chengkun began to speak in panic, but before he could finish, Xuan Long's slap had already landed on his face.
Slap!
Another crisp sound rang out as Yan Hu, not to be outdone, slapped Yue Long across the face.
Slap!
Another of Jiang Chen's subordinates rushed up to Lin Yue'er, who tried to retreat, and slapped her harshly.
The two Heavenly Level Grandmasters disdained hitting a woman, so they had their subordinates do it instead. Otherwise, upsetting the Young Master would not be a good thing!
"You, you dare to hit me?"
"Jiang Chen, you actually dare to let someone hit us, you bastard are asking for death!"
"Jiang Chen, you are finished, you're dead meat!"
Zhou Zhengkun and his two companions cursed loudly. All three of them were the legitimate eldest sons and daughter of their families, pampered by others, and had developed an attitude of arrogance. When it came to combat skills, they were not even a match for Fang Tianze, who was a Profound Level Martial Artist, while the three of them were not even Martial Artists, but true spoiled brats!
"Continue!" Jiang Chen said indifferently.
Slap! Slap! Slap!
A series of crisp slaps rang out as Xuan Long and his two companions showed no mercy, slapping Zhou Zhengkun and his companions relentlessly. Under the hands of Xuan Long and his companions, Zhou Zhengkun and the others couldn't even dodge, each being grabbed and harshly slapped!
