Chapter 188 is here.
"Xiao Chen, you're finished! How could you cause such a scene?" Xu Lingling stood up from the bar and was so shocked by the sight that she opened her mouth wide and couldn't speak for a long time. After regaining her senses, she immediately said this.
The scene really terrified her.
A group of young masters from prominent families in the provincial capital were all beaten to the ground by Xiao Chen, completely losing their composure.
They did this in front of many people, and they lost a huge amount of face. How could they let it go?
Xiao Chen's actions weren't just a beating of a young master; they were a severe slap in the face to all the major families in the province...
No matter how powerful, mysterious, or remarkable Xiao Chen is, how could he possibly stand up against so many powerful families?
Especially that young master of the Dongfang family, whose Dongfang family wields immense power. If they were to take action, even if Xiao Chen is the behind-the-scenes owner of Junhua Hotel, it would be of no use.
Xu Lingling's mind was buzzing; she was almost going crazy.
What started as a bartender drugging incident escalated into such an uncontrollable situation.
If Xu Lingling had known it would turn out this way, she would have preferred to drink the drugged fruit wine.
"It's over... It's really over this time... Xiao Chen, you've gone too far. Don't you think about the consequences? Even if you're in a bad mood, you can't act like this. You're courting death, you know that?" Xu Lingling looked desperate.
Xiao Chen's expression remained unchanged as he looked at her indifferently.
"If you're scared, you can leave now, and no one will blame you."
"I..." Xu Lingling was speechless for a moment.
A look of hesitation crossed her face.
To be honest, for a woman like her, without a family background, these things are beyond her means to bear.
Moreover, based on her principles, her intuition told her that cutting ties with Xiao Chen and leaving as soon as possible was the wisest thing to do.
But Xu Lingling was struggling internally.
After all, Xiao Chen stood up for her...
"Ugh..." Xu Lingling stomped her foot angrily.
"So what if you die? Someone has to come and collect your body..."
She was determined to go all out, thinking that those powerful families probably wouldn't make things too difficult for her.
At most, they will be held accountable and retaliated against by the Bai family of Jiang City.
Xiao Chen looked surprised.
Xu Lingling's choice, given her materialistic nature, was beyond his expectations.
Xiao Chen revealed a faint smile.
Let's show that gold digger what true nobility is...
Xiao Chen sat on the bar counter, taking out some fine wine from the wine cabinet and pouring himself a drink, completely at ease.
He remained completely calm, as if waiting for the storm to come.
This scene caused the onlookers to frown deeply.
"What's wrong with this guy? Doesn't he realize he's inviting a huge disaster? He's still so carefree, isn't he afraid of dying?"
"He must be drunk. As the saying goes, 'alcohol emboldens the timid,' and I bet if he were sober, he would be scared out of his wits and running away with his pants on the ground."
"Actually, this person was quite formidable, taking down so many people single-handedly. Unfortunately, no matter how powerful his background was, it couldn't compare to the numerous powerful families in the province. He was destined to fade away. Perhaps, tomorrow, this person will no longer exist in this world..."
The onlookers were buzzing with discussion, pointing and whispering about Xiao Chen.
Everyone thought he was doomed, and that the major families would soon react, causing turmoil and upheaval throughout the city.
The young master of the Bai family in Jiang City had stirred up trouble earlier, so he received special treatment from Xiao Chen. He had a large shoe print on his face and was lying not far from the wine table.
At this moment, he stared at Xiao Chen with a sinister expression and said coldly, "I have never seen anyone as fearless as you. It's one thing that you don't care about the Bai family, but you even dare to offend the major families in the province. I don't know whether to call you brave or stupid..."
"It's amazing you can remain so calm. Don't you know how serious things are? Hmph, with so many powerful families enraged, no matter how strong your background or strength is, it's all for naught. In the end, everything will be reduced to ashes! By then, it will be too late for you to regret it..."
"You really think a mere security bureau chief can protect you?" he said with a sneer. "That man may have influence in Jiang City, but what is he compared to the behemoth of the province? You truly don't know your place..."
Xiao Chen held his wine glass, glanced indifferently at the young master of the Bai family, and said, "Your bar will still be shut down tomorrow."
The young master of the Bai family once again revealed a disdainful expression.
"What a joke! You'll be lucky to be alive tomorrow, let alone thinking about shutting down a disco? Are you out of your mind?"
Xiao Chen didn't reply to him and continued to enjoy his wine.
The group of young men from the provincial capital were gradually helped up.
Everyone looked extremely gloomy, their eyes filled with hatred as they stared at Xiao Chen.
They stopped making a move and waited.
We're waiting for someone to come and punish Xiao Chen.
Every rich kid made a phone call, and the combined power they wielded would make this small city tremble...
"This man must pay a terrible price tonight!" Young Master Dongfang said coldly. "No matter what forces are behind him, they must all be wiped out, leaving no one alive!"
"Don't worry, Brother Dongfang, he'll soon realize how foolish he was and beg for mercy on his knees!" the other young masters said resentfully.
"Remember to keep the news under wraps and don't let what happened tonight get out," Young Master Dongfang said.
Everyone nodded.
It's an absolute disgrace that so many people were brutally beaten by an unknown nobody. If word gets out, it will damage the reputation of all the major families.
The atmosphere in the bar was somewhat eerie, unusually quiet.
Everyone is waiting, waiting for news to break the deadlock.
A long time passed.
"They're here...they're here!" someone suddenly shouted at the bar entrance.
In an instant, the young masters from prominent families were taken aback.
"Who's here? How many people are there?" a young master asked loudly.
"A Ferrari has arrived, and the person getting out of the car... looks like... looks like the head of the Zhu family from the provincial capital..." the person at the door exclaimed in surprise.
Young Master Zhu was immediately startled.
"Father actually came in person?" He was somewhat surprised and quickly got up and ran to the door to see.
He had called for help, but he never expected that his father, the head of the Zhu family, would arrive.
The people in the bar were also quite surprised.
Even the head of a prominent family in the provincial capital was alarmed, and they arrived so quickly; it seems this matter has a significant impact.
"Another car is coming...another car is coming..." someone shouted loudly at the door.
"The one who came down, if I'm not mistaken, seems to be the head of the Zhang family in the provincial capital, right?"
The bar erupted in commotion.
Another head of a major family has arrived in person!
