"Alright, Xiao Feng, you wait. I'll go help you get revenge. I'll make sure he pays a heavy price!"
Liu Shaolong hung up the phone, his heart already brimming with anger.
He was determined to show this arrogant fellow how capable he was.
Meanwhile, Chen Jie and his companions had just taken a few bites when the door was kicked open with a bang.
Immediately, a dozen ruffians barged in.
"Which piece of trash is Chen Jie?"
The people eating were all startled by Liu Shaolong's imposing aura.
They were all students learning martial arts, barely entering society, and had never witnessed such a scene before.
Zheng Qingshu's hand trembled. He happened to recognize Liu Shaolong.
He stepped forward with a fawning smile and said, "Brother Long, what brings you here?"
"Who are you?" Liu Shaolong glanced at him dismissively, not taking him seriously at all.
"My father owns this hotel. My name is Zheng Qingshu, and I'm also the co-owner. Brother Long, what's wrong? If there's any lack of hospitality, I apologize. Let's not let this spoil the mood," Zheng Qingshu said with a smile.
With a bang, Liu Shaolong kicked him directly.
Zheng Qingshu staggered back a few steps but didn't dare to get angry.
Instead, he smiled and asked, "Brother Long, what's wrong?"
"What the hell do you mean what's wrong? My goddess was bullied in your hotel! I wasn't going to bother you, but since you're in the same room as Chen Jie, I won't let you off. Tell me which one is Chen Jie, and I'll deal with you later!" Liu Shaolong said contemptuously.
Zheng Qingshu's face paled. He knew exactly who Liu Shaolong was.
Liu Shaolong was a prominent figure in the provincial capital. If someone like him decided to teach him a lesson, it would be incredibly easy.
As Liu Shaolong finished speaking, everyone in the room looked at Chen Jie.
Liu Shaolong was a bit surprised. He hadn't seen Chen Jie's face clearly on the phone. Now that he saw him, Chen Jie looked like a pure pretty boy. How could he be the scummy guy who dared to lay hands on his precious goddess!
However, Chen Jie's calm demeanor made him suspect that this was indeed Chen Jie.
He stepped forward and asked, "Kid, did you hit my goddess?"
Chen Jie said calmly, "Who is your goddess? I hit many people. If you don't tell me her name, how will I know if I hit her?"
"Damn it, I've seen plenty of arrogant people, but this is the first time I've seen someone as arrogant as you. Fine, if you want to know, I'll tell you. My goddess is Guo! Xiao! Feng!" Liu Shaolong said angrily.
Hearing this, the young girls in the room all flinched.
They thought, is this the influence of a celebrity? The video had only been out for a short while, and already a sycophant was stepping up for her.
For a moment, they were all envious.
If they were famous goddesses too, all they would need to do was post a video online complaining about being bullied, and fans would immediately seek revenge for them. Then their mothers would never have to worry about them being bullied again.
At the same time, they began to worry about Chen Jie. Liu Shaolong's men didn't seem to be on the same level as Guo Xiaofeng's bodyguards. Even if Chen Jie was a capable fighter, could he handle them?
"Guo Xiaofeng? I did slap her. And that was when I was holding back. Otherwise, it would have been more than just a slap. As her sycophant, I advise you one thing: Guo Xiaofeng has poor character and will be finished soon. You'd better find someone else to fawn over."
The men in the room stared at Chen Jie with wide eyes.
They never expected Chen Jie to be so audacious.
If it were them, they would have been offering apologies and preparing to beg for mercy.
Only some of the girls looked at Chen Jie with surprise.
No girl disliked a man who was domineering towards others. Chen Jie's fearlessness in the face of Liu Shaolong was vastly different from their previous impression of him as sleazy.
"You're really asking for death. You hit my goddess and you're still this arrogant. Heh. Guo Xiaofeng usually has bodyguards with her. It seems those bodyguards didn't do anything to you. Are you a martial artist?"
"Everyone get out! I want to beat him so badly his parents won't recognize him!" Liu Shaolong roared.
Zheng Qingshu's face changed.
If they just left, it would seem like they lacked backbone, and this was his territory after all.
But if they stayed, they would also suffer.
"Liu Shaolong, I'll give you one chance to get out immediately. You're not qualified to fight me," Chen Jie said.
"You're f—king unbelievable. I don't even bow to the heavens, and you're still talking tough. Clear the room for me!" Liu Shaolong was furious and ordered his subordinates.
His subordinates immediately shouted at the others, "All of you, get out! Our boss doesn't hit women, but if you act like a bitch, don't blame us for ripping your straps off!"
Chen Jie waved his hand and said to Li Ziling and Zheng Qingshu and the others, "You all go out for a bit. Come back in after I'm done with them."
In reality, he didn't need them to leave, and he could even make these people kneel in submission without lifting a finger.
However, if he did that, his identity would likely be exposed, so Chen Jie chose to have them leave.
"Teacher Chen..." Li Ziling said worriedly.
"Don't you want me to stay away from you? This is what you wanted, isn't it? Go on, get out!" Chen Jie said with a smile.
Li Ziling's pretty face blushed, and she quickly explained, "Although I don't want you to pester me, I don't want you to get hurt either."
"I know. Since you've said that, your teacher can't possibly get hurt. Don't worry, some things are not suitable for minors, and you really shouldn't witness them." Chen Jie said.
Seeing Chen Jie's confidence, Li Ziling finally agreed to leave.
However, she was still somewhat concerned. In her heart, she felt that Chen Jie was pursuing her. Even if she didn't accept him, she should be responsible for him and not let him go astray.
This was Li Ziling's kindness.
Liu Shaolong's subordinates scoffed, "Indeed, some things are not suitable for minors. You're asking them to leave just because you don't want them to see you embarrassed, right? Once they leave, you'll beg us to spare you and ask us to save face for you?"
"But you're mistaken, because our Brother Long is never soft-hearted. We'll beat you so badly your mother won't recognize you!"
This sentence was overheard by Wei Xiang and the others who had just stepped out.
A Zhu couldn't help but worry, "Will Teacher Chen be alright?"
"Heh, he should consider himself lucky. Brother Long only intends to teach him a lesson. If Brother Long really wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as playing. In the future, he'll have no standing in the provincial capital."
"Hmph! Don't talk nonsense. I think Teacher Chen will take care of all of them!"
