Zheng Youzhi was clearly trained in martial arts. His punches were fast, accurate, and endlessly varied, as if what he was throwing at Chen Xiao were not fists but a venomous snake poised to strike.
Although Chen Xiao's strength had increased significantly and his speed had improved noticeably after only two sessions of practicing the Great Dream Vajra Divine Art, he still had no room to dodge the professional-grade assault from Zheng Youzhi.
"Bang—"
With a muffled thud, Chen Xiao was sent staggering back three steps, his chest aching faintly.
But compared to the pain, which he could grit his teeth and endure, he couldn't stand being inexplicably beaten by a stranger.
Glaring at the suited Zheng Youzhi, he asked in a deep voice:
"Who the hell are you? I don't even know who you are, so how could I have provoked your woman?"
Zheng Youzhi was so shocked that Chen Xiao was unharmed after taking a punch that his jaw nearly dropped. He thought to himself:
"Is this kid some kind of freak? My Snake Fist has already mastered inch force. I can pierce through a blank piece of paper suspended in the air without even applying full force. He... he wasn't knocked down?"
Seeing Zheng Youzhi just staring at him without speaking, Chen Xiao grew even angrier. He secretly circulated the Great Dream Vajra Divine Art and suddenly threw a punch in retaliation.
"Pfft—"
Zheng Youzhi was so engrossed in his shock at Chen Xiao's robust physique that he was completely unprepared. By the time he reacted, he had been sent staggering back, spitting blood.
The two bodyguards could never have imagined that the slender Chen Xiao could actually injure Zheng Youzhi. They were stunned on the spot. One immediately moved to protect Zheng Youzhi, while the other glared menacingly at Chen Xiao:
"Chen, Young Master Zheng is Miss Youen's cousin. You dare to sneak attack and injure him? Are you tired of living?"
"Zheng Youen's cousin?"
Chen Xiao paused slightly, then retorted unceremoniously:
"Didn't he throw the first punch? He can hit me without rhyme or reason, so why can't I hit back?"
"You're asking for death!"
The two bodyguards' eyes widened in anger, and they moved as if to surround and attack Chen Xiao.
Suppressing the pain and the churning blood within him, Zheng Youzhi stopped the two with a look and then said sinisterly:
"Chen, dare you say you don't know Zhou Wannong? According to my investigation, she's your supervisor..."
With a sneer, Chen Xiao disdainfully interrupted Zheng Youzhi:
"You said I provoked your woman, are you referring to Zhou Wannong?"
"Nonsense!"
Zheng Youzhi roared ferociously:
"That Porsche was bought for her by me after I went through great trouble to purchase it for her in Mingzhu City!"
If he hadn't been wary of the incredibly bizarre power displayed by Chen Xiao's punch just now, with Zheng Youzhi's impulsive and quick-tempered nature, he would have already started fighting.
Although Chen Xiao's internship at the Central Hospital wasn't long, he had seen Zhou Wannong reject various suitors from time to time and was used to it:
"You just helped her buy a car, and now she's your woman? Following your logic, shouldn't car salesmen have a harem of thirty million beauties? If you don't mind me asking, you're not by any chance a car salesman, are you?"
"You... you you you..."
Zheng Youzhi's face turned ugly, and he stammered incoherently, because he was indeed a Porsche dealer in Juxian City.
Not long ago, introduced by Zheng Youen, he had gone to Mingzhu City to purchase that fiery red Porsche super sports car for Zhou Wannong. Since then, he had been unable to forget her and was secretly planning to find an opportunity to confess his feelings to her.
Upon learning that Chen Xiao had beaten him to it and was driving the car that should have belonged to his goddess, how could his narrow-minded self not be enraged?
Clenching his fists and glaring at Chen Xiao, he gritted his teeth and threatened:
"Stop the nonsense! I'm not here to reason with you this time. I want you to stay away from Zhou Wannong, get lost as far as you can! If you don't, I'll tear down this broken clinic!"
Chen Xiao was unfazed, shaking his head with a half-smile:
"I advise you not to rush with your threats, because if you tear down my shop, it will be very awkward for Zheng Youen and her mother when they come here for treatment later..."
"Pfft—"
As soon as Chen Xiao finished speaking, the two bodyguards suddenly burst out laughing.
Zheng Youzhi looked at Chen Xiao as if he were an idiot, his tone and expression filled with disdain:
"Chen Xiao, are you sick? Not to mention that my cousin is a precious jewel and would never come to a dirty, run-down place like the old town. My aunt is a renowned professor in the Traditional Chinese Medicine department at the Provincial City's Shenwu Medical University. She despises these three-no-reputation broken shops like yours that tarnish the reputation of TCM. How could they possibly come for treatment?"
He paused, then waved his hand and viciously ordered the two bodyguards:
"A Long, A Hu, get to it. Tear down this pathetic Jishetang immediately..."
But before he could finish speaking, a low-key, understated, astronomically expensive luxury car suddenly sped towards Jishetang.
The two bodyguards felt their scalps tingle and retreated repeatedly:
"Young Master Zheng... it's... it's Miss Youen's car..."
