42: Mr. Gao was shocked! Someone from the Shen family really came!?

Lu Chen looked down at the girl in his arms, the gentle light in his eyes deepening. He stroked the girl's head, his voice soft and doting: "Did that bad woman bully you, hmm?"

The little girl nodded, then pointed at the woman on the ground, whimpering softly: "She not only hit me, but she also locked up my mommy and won't let me see her! She even said she'd send me to the mountains, Daddy, I miss Mommy..."

As she spoke, the little girl choked up again.

Listening to his daughter's narration, Lu Chen's gaze gradually turned cold and dark, as if a storm was about to break. He turned around and looked at the short-haired woman not far away.

"Which hand did she use to hit you?"

The little girl bit her pink lips, looked at the man in front of her, and after a moment of hesitation, said: "Her left... left hand."

"Very good." A cruel glint flashed in Lu Chen's downcast eyes.

At this moment, the woman was still sprawled on the ground, wailing. She was bruised and battered from Lu Chen's earlier kick, and could barely move.

She raised her head in terror to look at the man in front of her, stammering: "You, what do you want to do?! I warn you, don't you dare mess around, or you will definitely regret it!"

However,

Before she could finish speaking, she felt a blur before her eyes.

Then, in the next instant, she was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground and spitting out a few broken teeth.

Her left wrist was bent at a strange angle; it was clearly broken!

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Shen Yunyun lay on the ground, coughing violently, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth and staining her chest, making her look exceptionally dishevelled.

After a moment, she barely managed to get up, the intense pain twisting her otherwise delicate face.

The hatred in her eyes was gone, replaced only by extreme terror.

She looked at the man in front of her, who exuded a murderous aura, her legs trembling like a sieve.

This noble and aloof man was truly terrifying.

Lu Chen calmly retracted his right foot, then unhurriedly straightened his cuffs.

Shen Yunyun's lips trembled, and ignoring the mud and grime on her face, she frantically shuffled backward.

"You... don't come over here, don't come over here!"

Before her words had faded, Lu Chen had already walked in front of her, looking down at her from above, his facial features distinct and profound, his dark eyes like an ancient pond.

"Since you like dog kennels so much, you can live in one from now on."

Shen Yunyun's eyes widened in horror, "What?!"

Lu Chen coldly and indifferently raised his hand.

In an instant, seven or eight black-clad bodyguards rushed in from outside the door, surrounding Shen Yunyun.

"No, don't! I was wrong, I beg you to spare me just this once!"

Shen Yunyun shook her head desperately, overwhelmed by immense fear.

She completely broke down, kneeling on the ground and pleading bitterly, "Sir, please let me go! I won't dare to do it again!"

Lu Chen looked down from above at the woman prostrate at his feet, a cold glint of disgust flashing in his eyes.

To be honest, he disdained hitting women.

But this Shen Yunyun actually hit a little girl, which truly crossed Lu Chen's bottom line.

Although Lu Chen was a good-for-nothing, he still had his principles.

Lu Chen pursed his lips and spoke coldly, "Throw her in."

Upon hearing this, several black-clad bodyguards immediately took Shen Yunyun out.

"Ugh... no... help!" A shrill and tragic scream echoed through every inch of the villa.

At this moment,

The sound finally alerted the other people in the villa, who rushed out to see what was happening.

When everyone came out, they saw Shen Yunyun being thrown into the dog kennel.

"How dare you! Who dares to cause trouble in my Gao Family?!" A furious roar rang out from inside the villa door.

Everyone immediately scattered, clearing a path.

A an old man in a Tang suit shouted, with an aquiline nose and a dignified, stern, and rigid face.

He originally wanted to order his servants to apprehend Lu Chen directly, but when he saw the black-clad bodyguards around Lu Chen, he immediately stopped.

These bodyguards had bulging waistlines, indicating at a glance that they were not to be trifled with.

Moreover, their expressions were firm and cold, unlike ordinary people; they resembled elites trained in the military.

Old Master Gao's brows furrowed into a frown. He narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing the young man in front of him, his tone questioning:

"Who are you? Why did you trespass into my Gao Family residence and injure my daughter?!"

He leaned on his cane with one hand, while the other was behind his back, gesturing to the servants behind him to quickly go and call for reinforcements.

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes at the old man and spoke faintly, his tone lazy and casual, yet inexplicably giving off a sense of oppression, "Gao Shiyuan, right?"

"You know me?!" Gao Shiyuan was slightly startled.

Lu Chen chuckled lightly, "Of course I know you."

He casually glanced around, "I bought this residence. So, does that mean it's not trespassing anymore?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Shiyuan's expression suddenly changed, "Arrogant! This villa area is the property of the Shen Family, how can a mere youngster like you just say you've bought it?!"

"Butler." Lu Chen ignored him and called out to the side.

The butler standing beside him immediately bowed respectfully: "Young Lord."

Lu Chen glanced at Gao Shiyuan: "Have the person in charge of the Shen Family come to see me."

The butler responded, "Yes," then quickly withdrew.

Gao Shiyuan was stunned for a second, then suddenly burst into laughter: "That's hilarious! So young and ignorant, you think you can make the Shen Family come to see you personally? Simply wishful thinking!"

The Shen Family is one of the three major wealthy families in Tianhai City, with immense power and a solid Foundation, many times stronger than the Gao Family!

Moreover, the Shen Family's strength is far from as simple as it appears on the surface!

It is said that the Shen Family has a close relationship with a certain super aristocratic family in Yanjing City, and one of the Shen Family's young ladies even became the Young Lord's intimate companion of that super aristocratic family!

Therefore,

In the entire Tianhai City, no one is qualified to make the person in charge of the Shen Family visit them personally!

But this brat, with such an arrogant demeanor, actually wants the person in charge of the Shen Family to come see him. Ha, he really is a newborn calf that isn't afraid of tigers!

This young man... simply doesn't understand how deep the waters are in Tianhai City!

Lu Chen didn't pay attention to Gao Shiyuan; his gaze remained on Shen Yunyun as he asked:

"I'm punishing you to not leave this dog kennel for the next ten months. Reflect well on your sins. Do you have any objections?"

Shen Yunyun was terrified, cowering under a dusty, cobweb-covered rag, her eyes filled with tears, looking utterly pitiful.

At this moment, how could she dare to have any objections?

All she wanted to do now was to escape this dreadful place as quickly as possible.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. I will never step out of the room again. I'll do whatever you tell me to do!" She quickly kowtowed like pounding garlic.

Lu Chen nodded slightly, "Call a doctor to treat her."

"Yes." A black-clad bodyguard turned and left.

Gao Shiyuan's brows were tightly furrowed, his face ashen. This brat was too arrogant!

But due to the presence of these bodyguards, he dared not act rashly and could only endure for now.

Once he gathered enough manpower, he would see how he would deal with this arrogant brat.

At this moment,

A bodyguard brought Lu Chen a sofa chair.

Lu Chen slowly sat on the sofa, his long, straight legs crossed, his posture relaxed and elegant.

The little girl timidly hid behind him, peeking out half her head at the dishevelled Shen Yunyun, her emotions somewhat complex.

This scene fell into Gao Shiyuan's eyes, making him even more furious!

Damn it, a mere snot-nosed brat daring to put on airs in front of him? He deserved a beating!

Before long,

More and more security personnel gathered around the villa, eventually numbering fifty or sixty, completely surrounding the area.

Gao Shiyuan inwardly breathed a sigh of relief, immediately feeling much safer.

He looked at Lu Chen and snorted coldly, "Kid, I advise you to release my daughter now, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" Lu Chen raised an eyebrow.

"Otherwise, you won't leave here today!" Gao Shiyuan slammed his cane hard against the ground.

Lu Chen shook his head and smiled, his legs crossed, looking like a complete slacker, "Are you sure?"

Seeing the other party's disdainful expression, Gao Shiyuan was so angry his teeth itched.

Gao Shiyuan had lived for most of his life, and was considered a prominent figure in Tianhai City; when had he ever suffered such humiliation?

Just as he was about to order someone to apprehend the brat,

Two figures came rushing towards them, scrambling and stumbling!

Gao Shiyuan looked closely, and his brows immediately furrowed.

Because the leading figure was none other than the head of the Shen Family, Old Master Shen Yuntao!

He really came!?
