Hearing this, one of the three girls suddenly lifted her head to look at Jiang Chen, a trace of emotion flashing in her eyes.

Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, Dong Yu's eyes revealed a contemplative expression.

"It was him, he forced me!" the girl who lifted her head suddenly pointed at a dandy.

"You wretched woman, who the hell forced you? You climbed into my bed for your own benefit; what's that got to do with me?" the dandy shouted back, casting a wary glance at Jiang Chen.

"It was you, you forced me. You sent people to trick me into coming here, saying it was a rehearsal, and then you locked me in the room and tried to take advantage of me!" the woman cried out loudly.

Jiang Chen looked at her approvingly, then turned a cold gaze toward the dandy.

The dandy felt a chill in his heart and quickly shut his mouth; from that look just now, he saw bone-piercing coldness!

"Don't be afraid, everyone, he definitely won't dare to confront so many of us at once!" Yu Jiaming, seeing the dandy who had just been glanced at by Jiang Chen showing a tendency to beg for mercy, suddenly shouted out loud.

"Right, with so many people from our families here, what can he do?"

"Exactly, what does being a top family matter? Does he dare to offend so many families at the same time?"

"He wouldn't dare. He hasn't even secured his position as Family Head; how could he dare to offend so many families at once?"

A group of dandies were inspired and shouted out loud.

"Is that so? I wouldn't dare?" Jiang Chen looked coldly at the group of dandies and shouted, "Huo Liang! Everyone here, count them one by one, break their legs!"

"Jiang Chen, you wouldn't dare!" Yu Jiaming's face turned pale.

"Jiang Chen, do you really dare to make a move?!"

"Aren't you afraid we will join forces against the Jiang Family?"

The faces of all the dandies changed drastically.

"Do you really think your families would strike against the Jiang Family for your sakes? You think too highly of yourselves!"

Jiang Chen spoke coldly, then waved his hand, "Go."

Whoosh!

As soon as the words were spoken, the already waiting Huo Liang flashed into action and shot out.

"Stop!" Yu Jiaming and the rest of the guards shouted out and charged towards Huo Liang.

Although they knew their abilities might not amount to much, not trying at all was different from failing to try.

A flash of cold light appeared in Jiang Chen's eyes, and he too rushed forward.

If these guards had just stood there doing nothing, he would not have taken any action against them, for after all, they were only following orders. But since they made a move, he couldn't let them off so easily!

Upon seeing Jiang Chen engaging, Chen Feng quickly joined the fray as well.

"I'm in too!"

Dong Yu, her face alight with excitement, charged after them. She had been living as a regular person in the world for so long and had not fought in ages. And to fight against these dandies who bullied girls, how could she miss out!

Bang! Bang!

Crack! Crack!

"Ah!"

"My leg!"

The sound of dull thuds, breaking bones, and screams filled the entire corridor in an instant.

At this moment, two of the three girls who sought help from Jiang Chen had stealthily run away, precisely the two who did not dare to point fingers, fearful of attracting trouble by staying.

However, the girl who had pointed out the dandy stayed there, watching the fallen dandies being beaten with a face full of vindication.

Before long, the corridor lay strewn with bodies, with a group of dandies and their guards clutching their legs, wailing miserably.

Thud, thud, thud!

A rush of footsteps sounded as the person in charge of the selection and the venue, accompanied by a group of security personnel, hurried over and his face changed dramatically at the sight in the corridor.

"Stop!" shouted Zhang Lin, the person in charge of the selection.

Crack!

With a final stomp that broke the last person's leg, Jiang Chen turned his head to look at Zhang Lin.

"Chairman?!" Zhang Lin's face changed, and he exclaimed in shock.

The person in charge of the venue was also greatly taken aback. The Chairman of Longteng Group, wasn't that the Jiang Family Head?!

"Throw these people out! Disqualify all these women!"

Seeing the recognition on the other's face, Jiang Chen didn't say much, gave an order, and walked towards the girl who was still standing there waiting.

"Why?"

"On what basis are you disqualifying us?"

"Right, on what basis?"

The group of women standing in the corridor were suddenly agitated and began to shout out loud.

"My company doesn't need shameless people!" Jiang Chen coldly swept a glance over them and continued towards the end of the corridor.

The women's faces changed, each feeling a wave of shame ensue. Regret turned their guts green; why hadn't they spoken up to say they were forced? Why had they thought they could use shortcuts to success, only to have sold themselves for nothing!

"What is your name?" Jiang Chen arrived at the end of the corridor and addressed the woman who had identified the dandy.

With an excited expression, the woman spoke, "Thank you, thank you for saving me. My name is Chen Yan, and I am a local from Jincheng."

"Come with me in a bit," Jiang Chen spoke softly. Chen Yan had identified that dandy, so in order to prevent her from being retaliated against, Jiang Chen had to make arrangements.

After giving instructions to Chen Yan, Jiang Chen turned his head to glance at Chen Feng, Huo Liang, and Dong Yu following him, his gaze settling on Dong Yu as he asked with puzzlement, "Miss Dong, is there something else you need?"

Dong Yu was taken aback and replied with surprise, "Aren't you curious about me?"

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, "What does it matter whether I'm curious or not? We've only just met; how can we speak deeply of trivial matters?"

"You're quite interesting. I know you must have lots of questions for me, but I can't tell you now. If we are destined to meet again, I can resolve your doubts," Dong Yu said mysteriously, smiling as she turned to walk towards one side of the corridor.

Jiang Chen looked deeply at Dong Yu's departing figure; indeed, he had many questions. But as he had said, acquaintanceship was shallow, so why delve into deep conversation.

"Let's go to the front," Jiang Chen called out and stepped towards the Eagle's Nest Performance Area. The selection was taking place there, and Yè Yùwǎn was also there.

Chen Feng, Huo Liang, and Chen Yan followed him closely.

Eagle's Nest Performance Area.

At this moment, the area was bustling with people.

The large stage was decked with numerous lights, and in front of it, four towering chairs housed four radiant young men and women, with seas of fans behind them.

Currently, a performance was underway on stage, and Yè Yùwǎn and the other three judges were listening intently.

However, upon closer observation, one would notice Yè Yùwǎn, one of the main judges, constantly glancing sideways toward a staff passageway.

When Huo Liang received Jiang Chen's call and left, Yè Yùwǎn took note of it.

Yet, Yè Yùwǎn was puzzled—what could have happened that Jiang Chen chose not to meet her first but instead called away Huo Liang?

Meanwile, Liang Feng, who sat to the left of Yè Yùwǎn, glanced at her now and then.

His eyes harbored subtle greed and confusion.
