Chapter 252
Li Yan saw Chen Wen go over to cause trouble and quickly come back. Even before getting close, he already heard what he was saying and immediately went to his side.
"This handsome little brother, the last time we met, I was astonished by you. Today we meet again, which is proof of our fate!" As he spoke, he warmly patted Chen Wen's shoulder a few times.
"Uh... uh... uh..."
Chen Wen seemed to respond timidly, but in reality, was groaning in pain from the pats. Each slap from Li Yan's palm made his shoulder hurt by several inches.
"You—!"
Chen Wen turned his head to shoot a resentful look at Li Yan. Considering that Li Yan was using Dark Force to hit him, while still appearing enthusiastic, it was clear he didn't want to lose face in front of the two beauties. The beautiful women whom he found astonishing from afar were even more desirable up close. So he maintained his composure without directly confronting him.
He stood up, slightly moving his still aching shoulder, wanting to reach out to shake hands with Li Yan as a counteraction, but afraid of being unable to squeeze harder, he opted to make a gesture to give way.
"This 'old' brother, is it you here? I let you..." As they passed by each other, Chen Wen whispered to Li Yan: "I'll remember you! My brother is Brother Chen, you can ask around..."
"Get lost! Tell Lan Tianci that the next time I see him, I'll crush his balls." Li Yan couldn't be bothered with his nonsense, Brother Chen? Never even heard of him.
Chen Wen, although very frustrated, was self-aware enough to realize he might not be able to win in a fight. This place wasn't suitable, so he had to leave sullenly.
"Sorry, I left for a moment and some flies came to bother. What did you order for me?" Li Yan sat down opposite Zhang Yurong.
Zhang Yurong didn't answer but instead asked, "Which ones are your friends?"
Li Yan's heart skipped a beat; he forgot about this! Zheng Yuzun wasn't known to anyone, but Zheng Yixuan and He Zhengyuan might be recognized by Zhang Yurong! Even Wen Qianyi had met He Zhengyuan.
"Yeah, just a few drinking buddies, I don't really know what they do, so I didn't introduce them." Li Yan excused himself a bit, in case Zhang Yurong recognized their identities, she wouldn't suspect his.
Zhang Yurong nodded, not discussing the issue further, as Chen Wen just now had dampened their spirits. However, Yue Yao started to lighten the mood, talking about food to give everyone a topic.
...
While Li Yan and the others were having dinner, He Zhengyuan, Zheng Yixuan, and their group had already left. Wen Qiang, Lan Tianci, and Chen Wen also left earlier; whether Chen Wen warned Lan Tianci about Li Yan or not was unknown, but they didn't dare to look this way anymore.
After dinner, it wasn't too late yet, but there was still a way to go back, thinking about having to work tomorrow, no one suggested other activities. Upon leaving the restaurant, Li Yan noticed something unusual. On the opposite side of the restaurant, in the nearby area, many young people, who looked like thugs, were wandering about.
If it were just a few, it wouldn't have caught his attention; there are thugs everywhere. But seeing over a hundred at once, especially in an area that wasn't known for bad security, was unusual.
Yue Yao and Zhang Yurong also noticed the situation. Zhang Yurong just frowned, thinking the security here might not be good, while Yue Yao exchanged a look with Li Yan, making them both suspicious and cautious.
When they got the car from the parking spot, the two of them sat in the back, and Li Yan drove the car out.
"Someone got hit!"
"Get out of the car! Get out!"
"Don't let him run away!"
...
These troublemakers who came prepared immediately assumed a frenzied attitude. The so-called person who was hit was just a few people now blocking the front of the car, quickly pretending to be hit. More and more people gathered around, all coming to pound on the vehicle. The car's speed was still slow, so everyone moved along with the car.
Zhang Yurong and Yue Yao quickly rolled up the windows tight. Seeing so many people outside, Zhang Yurong hurriedly said, "Li Yan, stop the car first! Find out what's going on before doing anything!"
Of course, Li Yan wouldn't stop. Stopping would immediately lead to people lying on the hood or in front of the car, which would really block them then.
As Zhang Yurong frowned, and Yue Yao looked around "nervously," Li Yan had already sped up the car a bit and genuinely drove straight toward the crowd ahead!
"You're crazy? Truly hitting people?" Zhang Yurong was shocked.
Li Yan dared to accelerate the car, which also startled those outside!
Li Yan knew the car's speed very well, knowing under what circumstances, and how hitting people would cause harm but not death, and not be too severe.
Zhang Yurong was very worried, afraid Li Yan would cause fatalities, leaned over to pull him, wanting him to stop being so reckless. But due to a sudden turn and bump, she lost her balance and hit her head on the car. Unexpectedly, though it hurt a bit, it shouldn't have been serious but she soon fainted!
Li Yan took a glance at the rearview mirror, Yue Yao winked at him, clearly admitting she had knocked out Zhang Yurong. It wasn't out of annoyance, but to prevent her from getting nervous, worried, or witnessing unsightly scenes. Now the two of them could act without reservations!
Bumping, colliding, scraping, and swinging...
For a while, people outside continued to press forward as those injured inside climbed out to escape. Though the car was still surrounded, there was already a small encircling gap around it.
Li Yan didn't hold back, continuing to drive into the crowd! Seeing him really ramming, unafraid of people, those in front, not wanting to die, quickly moved aside.
"Honk the horn!" Yue Yao suddenly said in a low voice.
Li Yan understood, immediately pressing down and letting the horn blare continuously. Those in front who didn't have the time to run froze with fright, some even grew weak-kneed.
...
Across the street, there was a teahouse, which always had good business. Besides regular tea lovers, some patrons from nearby restaurants also came over to sit, pass time, and chat.
At this moment, on the second floor of the teahouse facing the street, two guests stood with great interest, looking down below at the scene, they were Lan Tianci and Chen Wen. Lan Tianci initially incited Chen Wen, while Chen Wen was interested in Zhang Yurong and Yue Yao, knowing that girls without financial issues were not easy to win over. Yet, Li Yan's attitude towards him made him very displeased, and the slap on his shoulder had been hurting all along.
Returning to their table, he irritably informed Lan Tianci of Li Yan's warning, which infuriated Lan Tianci, who already bore jealousy toward Li Yan. Both of them became upset and naturally hit it off with Lan Tianci supplying money and Chen Wen providing manpower, intending to call people over to deal with Li Yan.
As the thugs gradually arrived, they lost the mood to eat, quickly settled the bill, and left for the teahouse opposite. Looking at the commotion below, curious patrons would surely discuss and then squeeze over to watch the scene. To occupy a good spot, Lan Tianci directly reserved the entire row of seats by the window, leaving only them three waiting, unnoticed by others, as no one knew to approach.
When they saw Li Yan coming out and cars starting to block below, Wen Qiang watched for a while, found it boring, and went back to drink tea. Lan Tianci and Chen Wen stood enthusiastically at the glass wall, looking at the situation below, laughing and commenting. Of course, they continued watching, as Lan Tianci wanted to see Li Yan falter and suffer misfortune, while Chen Wen aimed to seize the moment to dash down as a hero saving a beauty!
Seeing Li Yan completely disregard the people's lives, daring to ram recklessly, even Chen Wen was silently amazed. This guy was indeed ruthless, glad he hadn't confronted him head-on earlier. Having witnessed Li Yan in action a few times, Lan Tianci felt even more uneasy, hoping Chen Wen could take care of Li Yan, so he wouldn't really do something to him.
After watching a while longer, the sound of a horn came from below. Though the glass separated them from the noise, the sudden burst of horn blast caused the glass before them to shatter completely! Numerous glass shards and fragments flew towards them!
...
Chen Wen's whispered words to Li Yan had already been overheard by Yue Yao, who always kept an eye on Li Yan's enemies, regardless of their size. Finding something wrong upon exit, she suspected Chen Wen was behind it, believing Li Yan could handle it all. She pretended to act tense, watching around, but had been searching for the plotter Chen Wen the whole time, certain such a person would definitely be present nearby to observe the effects.
After some searching, before discreetly knocking Zhang Yurong out, she had already seen Chen Wen and Lan Tianci at the floor-to-ceiling glass on the second floor.
