"Nan University's three-pointer king, the campus belle's personal bodyguard, sending a taekwondo expert flying with one kick... what is all this? Chen Zheng wasn't the Yuwei Group heiress's boyfriend, but her bodyguard?"
"Haha! A bodyguard! So Chen Zheng was just a bodyguard! How could I not be able to deal with a bodyguard!"
"Wait! Let's watch this video of him kicking a taekwondo expert flying!"
That evening, Lu Yun returned to his hotel. Unwilling to give up, he searched for Chen Zheng online to see whether he could find any information. The search actually turned up a few things, and his eyes lit up.
If Chen Zheng wasn't the Yuwei Group heiress's boyfriend, but merely a bodyguard, then...
"Hiss!"
But!
After watching the video of him sending a taekwondo expert flying with one kick, he sucked in a sharp breath!
"One kick sent a man flying! Fuck! He's trained! No wonder this guy said playing an expert was easy. He's a martial arts expert himself! This guy doesn't have any acting skills at all. He only looked convincing playing an expert because he knows martial arts! What a vicious kick!"
Lu Yun replayed the video. This time, he saw it clearly: Chen Zheng sent a seemingly formidable taekwondo expert flying with a single kick. Just watching that kick hurt!
At the thought of taking a kick like that from Chen Zheng himself, he feared he would be crippled on the spot!
"Fuck! If I can't afford to provoke him, can't I just stay out of his way!"
Lu Yun gritted his teeth and decided to leave Nan City first thing the next morning!
A little past eight that evening.
Jasmine Bar.
That afternoon, Chen Zheng had accompanied An Jing and Su Cheng around the mall. After a simple dinner there, An Jing had dragged him to Jasmine Bar. In An Jing's words, she was a little upset and wanted someone to drink with. She also said Chen Zheng was entirely to blame for her bad mood today.
"Young Master Chen, I'd like to experience that feeling of Drunken Life, Dreaming Death again. I wonder if you have any left in stock. I know I'm asking a little too much, but after tasting your Drunken Life, Dreaming Death last time, I'll never forget that flavor for the rest of my life."
The proprietress, Yan Susu, looked at Chen Zheng, her voice full of wistfulness.
Her beauty was exceptional, and she was tall and curvaceous. Wrapped in a white patterned qipao, she looked especially alluring. The men in the bar kept stealing glances in her direction.
The three gorgeous women at Chen Zheng's table left quite a few people green with envy. They thought to themselves that an ordinary-looking young man was actually surrounded by stunning beauties. Some customers, however, had seen Chen Zheng at Jasmine Bar last time. They knew he had produced a bottle of miraculous Drunken Life, Dreaming Death and even sparked an incident involving an annual salary of ten million. Knowing there was far more to Chen Zheng than met the eye, they weren't surprised, though they still felt a trace of envy.
If they could brew that kind of liquor, could they win over Jasmine Bar's beautiful proprietress, Yan Susu? Yan Susu wasn't just the proprietress of Jasmine Bar. Last time, the granddaughter of Yang Tiancheng, China's new richest man, had called her Auntie!
If they really won over the beautiful Yan Susu, they would have nothing to worry about for the rest of their lives!
"I haven't brewed any lately."
Chen Zheng answered with a smile.
"Then whenever you're going to brew some, Young Master Chen, you can give me a call. I've learned a few brewing techniques myself, so I could lend you a hand."
At his answer, Yan Susu's eyes lit up, and she spoke with an alluring smile.
"Yan Susu, don't tell me you've fallen for this guy?"
An Jing took a sip of her drink and looked at Yan Susu with a slight frown.
"Beautiful An, are you jealous?"
Yan Susu looked at An Jing.
"Pfft! I've already claimed this guy's first kiss. If you want his remaining virgin body, go ahead and take it!"
An Jing gave a soft snort.
"Giggle! You said it!"
Hearing that, Yan Susu couldn't help giggling, swaying like a flowering branch, charming and alluring.
An Jing merely rolled her eyes at Yan Susu, not wanting to say anything more. She raised her glass, clinked it against Chen Zheng's, and drained it in one gulp. Her behavior seemed like a declaration of ownership to Yan Susu.
"Jasmine Bar is closed. Anyone not involved can leave."
Just then, several people pushed through the door. The moment their leader spoke, a sinister, eerie air spread through the bar.
"What?"
"It's still so early. Why are they closing?"
"..."
The customers in the bar froze and turned toward the entrance. When they saw the leader's strange face, which looked as though it had been subjected to torture, every one of them shuddered inwardly!
This man's face was so strange. He looked terrifying!
"Was I not clear enough? Anyone not involved can leave." The leader's cold, merciless voice rang out. As he spoke, his strange face suddenly twisted into a smile. "If you're not afraid to die, you can stay. I'll let you see a few things you don't normally get to see."
Sinister!
Terrifying!
"Mommy!"
Someone couldn't take it and rushed out of the bar, screaming!
"Let's go!"
"Ms. Yan, I'll pay my bill now!"
"Something big is about to happen!"
The other customers silently stood up one after another, keeping their heads lowered, not daring to look at the strange-faced man. In less than a minute, only Chen Zheng's table and the bar staff remained in Jasmine Bar.
"Boss..."
The staff were frightened too, their voices trembling.
Yan Susu, however, stared at the strange-faced man standing in the doorway, her brows tightly furrowed.
The atmosphere was rather eerie!
"What? Junior Sister Yan, don't you recognize your senior brother?" The strange-faced man gave Yan Susu a sinister smile. Then his gaze shifted, sweeping over An Jing's and Su Cheng's faces before settling on Chen Zheng's. "Young man, you seem quite bold. Are you Junior Sister Yan's man? Hmm? No, 'her man' is outdated. These days, I think the fashion is to call them little puppy dogs or little wolf dogs. Has my junior sister given you all her cultivation?"
"Yin Zhao!"
Yan Susu spoke, her voice icy!
"Yin Zhao!"
"A Black List expert!"
When An Jing and Su Cheng heard Yan Susu say the strange-faced man's name, both their expressions changed, and both frowned.
Yin Zhao!
A Black List expert!
Nicknamed Poison Wolf!
An Jing and Su Cheng had long known that Yan Susu also belonged to China's Ancient Martial Arts world, but they hadn't expected her and Poison Wolf of the Black List to be fellow disciples. This... and clearly, Poison Wolf hadn't come with good intentions!
"Hmm? You know me? It seems you two beauties belong to China's Ancient Martial Arts world too. Then this works out perfectly today. Junior Sister Yan, along with you two beauties, will all come with me. I'll take you somewhere nice, and I guarantee you'll have a wonderful time! Hehe! As for this little puppy dog here, I can only send you to hell! Blame your bad luck for running into me today!"
The strange-faced man grinned wickedly, his grin full of savagery!
"Chen Zheng, take An Jing and the others and leave. I can handle Yin Zhao!"
Yan Susu lowered her voice and glanced at Chen Zheng. Then she started to rise, but someone caught hold of her just as she stood.
She froze for a moment and looked down. Chen Zheng had caught her hand!
