"Jun... Junfei..."
The sight of Zheng Zhihua being struck left Huo Lili stunned. Her face went pale as she tightly gripped Yu Junfei’s arm. "How... how dare he hit Young Master Zheng..."
She wasn’t the only one in disbelief; all the girls nearby felt the sa way.
Who was Zheng Zhihua? He was the son of the deputy chief of Jiangbei District, a lofty and untouchable figure. Yet today, he had been beaten by a common street thug.
"Young Master Zheng, are you okay?" Yu Junfei was trembling internally, but he still forced himself to approach Zheng Zhihua. His teeth chattered as he tried to threaten Brother Niu. "Do you... do you know who you just hit? He’s the son of District Chief Zheng of Jiangbei District! You..."
"Tch, Zheng Ping?" Brother Niu withdrew his wary gaze from Chen Yang and shot a disdainful glance at Zheng Zhihua before turning to Yu Junfei with a mocking tone. "Go ahead, call Zheng Ping. Ask him if he knows our Brother Long. Ask him if he dares to get involved in Brother Long’s affairs."
"Brother Long?"
Clutching his face, Zheng Zhihua stared at the disdainful Brother Niu. Upon hearing the words ’Brother Long’, his eyes abruptly shrank. His heart felt as though it had been struck by a heavy hamr, and he was utterly horrified. "Your Brother Long... is he... is he Chen Yulong, Master Long?"
At this mont, his previous calm and gentle deanor had vanished completely, replaced by pure panic.
"What? Chen Yulong..."
"The Lord of Jiangbei, Chen Yulong... We... we actually stuck our noses into his business..."
"It’s over. We’re finished..."
At that mont, Liu Feng, Qiu Fei, and the other boys lying on the ground crying out in pain looked as if their world had ended.
"This..." Yu Junfei was so terrified his legs went weak. If Huo Lili hadn’t been supporting him, he would have collapsed.
"Junfei, who... who is this Master Long?" Huo Lili’s delicate body swayed under Yu Junfei’s weight, her pretty face a mask of terror and confusion.
She wasn’t the only one; the other girls were just as confused. After all, their social circles were different from the boys’, who were more exposed to the city’s darker side. The girls had no idea who this Master Long was.
"It’s him!" Song Lingxue also turned pale, her slender body swaying slightly as an icy chill spread through her.
"Brother Xiao Yang, this..." Lin Ruixin was terrified; she had never experienced a scene like this before.
"It’s okay, I’m here." Chen Yang smiled and gave Lin Ruixin a comforting look, gently rubbing her head.
"That’s right. It’s our Master Long," Brother Niu said. He had no interest in bothering with small-fry like Zheng Zhihua. Of everyone present, the only one who truly made him wary was Chen Yang, who seed ordinary but exuded an imnse pressure.
"Sir... Brother Niu..." Having confird Chen Yulong’s identity, Zheng Zhihua was frantic, his eyes filled with fear. "Brother Niu, please... Today was our fault. Could you spare us, for my father’s sake, and let us go?"
At his words, Huo Lili and the others looked toward Brother Niu and the surrounding n in black with eyes full of hope.
You couldn’t bla Zheng Zhihua for bowing his head. His father had only beco the Deputy Chief of Jiangbei District because the previous one had an "accident," allowing him to fill the spot. And that previous deputy chief had been sent to prison by Chen Yulong. Over the matter, Chen Yulong’s n had even killed several people. Even the District Chief himself had to personally serve him tea and treat him with utmost respect. In short, this Jiangbei Dragon Master’s background and connections were sothing no one in Jiangbei District dared to provoke.
"No." Brother Niu shook his head. "Zheng Ping isn’t important enough. Just accept your fate for today."
"I..."
At that mont, Zheng Zhihua, Yu Junfei, Huo Lili, and the others felt as though they had been plunged into an icy abyss.
As for Huo Lili, she now hated Chen Yang with a passion. She believed this was all his fault. If that poor bastard hadn’t co to the class reunion with Lin Ruixin, none of this would have happened!
Brother Niu cast a deep look at Chen Yang, then instructed his n, "Watch them. Don’t let anyone escape."
"Yes, Brother Niu."
The n in black also sensed sothing was wrong. Brother Niu had suddenly called a halt to things, and though they didn’t know why, a sense of tension imdiately gripped them.
"Miss Lu, if you please. It’s ti to see Brother Long." Brother Niu turned, about to lead Lu Hanyan, whose eyes were brimming with tears of indignation, into the private room.
But just as he moved, Lu Hanyan abruptly pushed him away. "Xiao Yang!" she sobbed, running straight for Chen Yang. To everyone’s utter shock and confusion, she threw herself into his arms.
This scene stunned everyone and caused Brother Niu’s eyes to narrow sharply once more.
Lu Hanyan actually knows Chen Yang? And by the looks of it, their relationship is quite close. Brother Niu sensed the situation had just beco much more complicated. After all, as much as they looked down on Lu Hanyan for being a woman, she was still on the sa level as Master Long, Chen Yulong. They only dared to be so disrespectful because Chen Yulong himself had set this trap, certain that he had Lu Hanyan cornered. Normally, they wouldn’t dare treat Lu Hanyan—the belle of Jinshui’s business world, a true powerhouse—with such disrespect, not even if they had ten tis the courage.
"Brother Niu, this bitch..." one of the subordinates started forward, ready to grab her.
"Shut up and wait." Brother Niu gave Chen Yang a long, hard look, then entered the private room himself. I can’t handle this. I’ll have to get Zhou Hao, or Brother Long himself.
"Brother Xiao Yang, who is this?" Lin Ruixin watched as the stunning Lu Hanyan threw herself into Chen Yang’s arms, stealing what felt like her spot. A pang of jealousy soured her heart.
Song Lingxue was too shocked to speak. How is that possible? Chen Yang is just a timid scumbag, a coward, a broke loser... How could a gorgeous woman like Lu Hanyan throw herself at him? And how could he possibly know such a high-status person? In her eyes, Chen Yang’s figure was suddenly shrouded in mystery. Could it be... that Chen Yang is so powerful figure in disguise? she wondered, full of shock and suspicion.
「anwhile, around the corner in the corridor」
Jiang Baibing had seen the boys get beaten and was originally planning to step in and take Lin Ruixin’s group away. But when she saw Chen Yang, she decided to wait. Let’s see just who this mysterious Chen Yang is... the one who dared to secretly have his way with Song Lingxue in the car. And now he even has Lu Hanyan throwing herself into his arms!
"Her?" Chen Yang said, then lightly tapped Lin Ruixin’s cute nose. "You should call her Aun—"
"Call ’Big Sister’," Lu Hanyan interrupted before Chen Yang could finish. She wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled at the sweet-looking Lin Ruixin. "What a beautiful little sister."
While the other girls were still recovering from the shock, a frightened Huo Lili started screaming hysterically at Chen Yang and Lin Ruixin. "Chen Yang, this is all your fault! If it weren’t for you, the class reunion wouldn’t have been ruined! None of this would’ve happened! It’s all because of you, you poor bastard! And you," she shrieked, turning on Lin Ruixin, "you bitch! People call you the campus belle and you really think you are one, don’t you? You bitch! Why did you bring him, a poor bastard, to our class reunion?! This is all your fault!"
