49: Is Ye Chen a wolf in sheep's clothing?

At that moment, the air in the bar seemed to solidify.

Everyone gasped, their pupils dilating in shock!

Crazy!

Absolutely insane!

Someone actually dared to provoke Zheng Hu, throwing wine on his woman?!

Who is this beauty?

Does she have a death wish?!

Because of the dim lighting, no one recognized Bing Lan's identity... Jin Meiting was also stunned.

She never expected that the first time Bing Lan called her to a bar, it would be to splash wine on her face?

Rage!

Uncontrollable rage!

She asked, "Lan Lan, are you crazy?!"

"I'm not crazy," Bing Lan's voice was as cold as ice, "You are."

A waiter noticed something was wrong and cautiously approached: "Ladies, do you need..."

"Get lost!" Jin Meiting suddenly turned and snapped.

The waiter flinched in fear and hastily retreated.

Jin Meiting turned back, her finger trembling as she pointed at her wet cheek: "Then what's with the wine on my face? You must explain yourself today!"

"You let Ye Chen get close to me!"

Bing Lan ignored her anger and asked, word by word, "What was it for?"

Jin Meiting's pupils contracted, and a storm raged in her heart!

That guy Ye Chen... did he tell everything?

Isn't he afraid that they'll both be ruined?

She feigned composure and said coldly, "I don't know what you're talking about. Ye Chen is just my distant Younger Male Cousin. I saw he was sharp, so I let him drive for you..."

"When you lie..."

Bing Lan coldly interrupted, "The outer corner of your right eye lifts by 0.5 centimeters."

Jin Meiting subconsciously raised her hand to touch the outer corner of her right eye.

As soon as she made the move.

She realized her mistake, but it was too late.

Bing Lan's gaze grew even colder.

"I asked you to find my father's whereabouts, and I gave you a photo."

"You eventually told me you couldn't find him."

"I thought at the time, if even the police couldn't find him, it was normal for you not to either."

"But now I understand, you were lying to me, weren't you?"

Jin Meiting fell silent.

Bing Lan's eyes grew colder and colder.

"My father Wang Feng wasn't missing; he was killed by Zheng Hu's men in that car accident a few years ago."

"What exactly do you intend to do by having Ye Chen approach me?"

Jin Meiting took a deep breath.

"Lan Lan, things are not as simple as you think."

"Zheng Hu and I are not working together. He has people from the province behind him, deeply entrenched."

"I had my Younger Male Cousin... I had Ye Chen approach you, indeed for my own purpose, but also to protect you."

"Protect me?" Bing Lan scoffed.

"Yes!"

Jin Meiting met her gaze, "When I was at my lowest, you reached out and pulled me up. I remember that kindness..."

"Enough."

Bing Lan interrupted her again.

"Stop with your excuses, Jin Meiting."

"From today onwards, this is over between us."

"As for Zheng Hu..."

She picked up her handbag and turned to leave the booth, "I will personally send him in."

Jin Meiting watched her retreating figure, then suddenly stood up, wanting to say something else... "Whoosh!"

A group of burly men in black roughly parted the crowd, surging into the booth area like a tide, instantly forming a semi-encirclement, blocking Bing Lan's path.

The leader, with eyes as sharp as an eagle, said: "Miss Bing, please come with us."

The explosive music abruptly stopped, and the surroundings fell into dead silence.

Bing Lan paused: "Who are you?"

The men in black didn't answer, merely closed in and reached out to grab Bing Lan.

"Stop!"

Jin Meiting's pretty face changed drastically, and she stood in front of Bing Lan, "You can't take her! This was my agreement with him..."

"Get lost!"

The leading man in black rudely interrupted her, "Orders from above, we must take her today! Jin Meiting, dare you interfere?"

Jin Meiting's chest heaved with anger, her fingers clenched tightly, just about to argue again... "Bang!"

A wine bottle exploded violently at the black-clad man's feet!

Glass shards flew, and wine splattered everywhere!

A cold voice followed: "Then I'll interfere... and try!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.

They saw.

A young man parting the crowd, walking leisurely.

It was Ye Chen!

The leading man in black's face darkened: "You brat want to interfere?"

"They are my bosses."

Ye Chen pointed at the two women, Bing Lan and Jin Meiting, and nodded as a matter of course, "It's only natural for an employee to protect their boss, right?"

"Hahahaha..."

"I, Sang Biao, have been in this game for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen such a fearless hothead like you!"

"You really don't know your place!"

Sang Biao laughed maniacally, "One of you go up and deal with him directly, we're in a hurry to get back to the provincial capital!"

"Yes!"

A man in black stepped out, brandishing a telescopic baton, approaching Ye Chen with a sinister grin.

"Kid, watched too many movies?"

"Hero saving the beauty... comes at a price!"

The surrounding crowd secretly shook their heads, looking at Ye Chen with pity.

In this situation, confronting this group of people by force, he must either be crazy or tired of living!

What's more... some people had already recognized Bing Lan, who was surrounded. When figures of this level are involved, how can ordinary people meddle in such troubled waters?

Ye Chen ignored the surrounding gazes and merely said, "Didn't the person who taught you how to survive in this world teach you one thing?"

The man in black was startled: "What?"

Ye Chen's lips curved slightly: "Too much talk leads to a quick death."

"Hahaha!"

The man in black was furious and swung his baton down, "Then let me see how you make me..."

The word "die" had not yet left his mouth!

Ye Chen moved!

As fast as lightning, as powerful as thunder!

Everyone's vision blurred, and Ye Chen's fist had already slammed heavily into the opponent's face!

"Bang!"

A dull, teeth-gritting thud!

The man in black's smile froze, his face twisted, his feet left the ground, and he flew backward!

"Crash—!"

Everyone's gaze followed the trajectory of the black-clad man's flying body, watching him knock over a table, sprawl across a booth, and fall unconscious.

Silence, a deathly silence!

The entire bar was so quiet you could hear a pin drop!

Everyone's eyes were wide, looking at Ye Chen in disbelief.

One punch!

Just one punch!

And he took down a burly man with a weapon?!

Is this a damn movie?!

Jin Meiting's pupils constricted slightly.

Chen Bo said Ye Chen was very good at fighting, but she never imagined... he was *that* good!

She knew better than anyone that these men in black were survivors of the Middle Eastern war, yet under Ye Chen's fist, they were so vulnerable?

No... was she threatening a little puppy, or a big bad wolf in sheep's clothing???

Only Bing Lan looked at Ye Chen's back, her mind a bit muddled.

Didn't he leave?

Sang Biao snapped out of it, his face darkening: "No wonder he dared to step up, so he's a martial artist."

He paused.

He raised his hand and made a gesture.

"All of you, go!"

"Crippled him!"

In an instant.

Seven or eight men in black rushed towards Ye Chen from different directions like hungry wolves pouncing on prey!

Telescopic batons, brass knuckles, and machetes whizzed through the air, striking down fiercely!

However... Ye Chen's expression remained unchanged. Instead of retreating, he advanced, his figure darting through the crowd like a swimming fish.

A punch!

"Bang!"

One person was punched in the chest, flying backward and smashing into a wine cabinet.

A kick!

"Crack!"

Another person's leg bone snapped, and he cried out, collapsing to his knees.

Elbow strike! Palm chop! Shoulder ram!

Each strike brought down an opponent.

As if hit by a truck, they didn't even have time to groan before completely losing their combat ability.

In just a few breaths, half of the black-clad men who rushed forward had already fallen... The surrounding crowd watched dumbfounded, their jaws nearly dropping to the floor.

Is... is this even human?!

Even movies wouldn't dare to depict this!

Sang Biao's face completely darkened.

He knew... he had misjudged!

This young man in front of him wasn't just an ordinary martial artist; he was a tough nut to crack, a very tough nut!

"You're all damn useless!"

He cursed, a fierce glint in his eyes, and suddenly drew a pistol, the dark muzzle instantly locking onto Ye Chen!

"Kid! You're good at fighting, huh?"

"Try moving again? Let's see if your fist is faster, or my bullet!"

"Ye Chen!" Bing Lan's face changed drastically, "He has a gun!"

Jin Meiting's face also stiffened.

Ye Chen had just sent another man in black flying. Hearing this, he paused, looked at the gun in Sang Biao's hand, and frowned slightly.

The opponent had a gun, and there were still half of the men in black around. Rushing directly would be too risky; it would be bad if a bullet injured Bing Lan or the others.

His gaze quickly swept across the entire venue, then suddenly fixed on the bar counter.

A completely black cat was curled up in the corner, sleeping soundly.

Ye Chen's heart stirred, his internal energy locked onto the black cat, and a golden flash flickered in his eyes!

Beast Taming Technique!

This was a secret technique from his inheritance, capable of briefly controlling the minds of beasts and directing their actions.

With Ye Chen's current cultivation, he could only make an animal execute one command, but at this moment, it was enough!

"Meow—!"

The black cat seemed to be controlled by an invisible force, suddenly startled awake, and darted off the bar into the darkness.

Seeing this, Ye Chen ignored Sang Biao and continued to knock down his opponents one by one!

"I'm warning you one last time!"

Seeing Ye Chen ignore him, Sang Biao grew even angrier, "Immediately put your hands on your head and kneel! Otherwise, I'll..."

Ye Chen seemed not to hear his threat.

Not only did he continue to punch people, he even freed a hand to give Sang Biao the middle finger.

Everyone: "???"

Good heavens!

He's pulled out a gun, and you still dare to provoke him?

"You're looking for death!!!"

Sang Biao was completely enraged and fiercely pulled the trigger!

"Bang!"

A gunshot echoed!
