Chapter 143: 143 Hidden Dragons Crouching Tigers

"Aren’t you leaving, waiting for the police to come and arrest someone?"

Upon hearing this, Yao Bifu, with her round face, snapped out of her daze and hurriedly followed Jiang Chen’s footsteps.

"Senior Jiang, do you need me to drive you guys back?"

Liang Zhenlun obviously had no plans to return to the university.

"No need, we’ll take a cab."

"Alright."

Liang Zhenlun didn’t insist, then he smiled at Yao Bifu and made a waving gesture to say goodbye.

"Young Master Jiang, we’ll be leaving first."

Bai Haoran still behaved with utmost courtesy, showing no signs of being the ruthless person who easily cripples others.

Jiang Chen nodded.

The group separated.

Yao Bifu followed Jiang Chen to the side of the street, and even as they got into a taxi, she still seemed somewhat stunned.

For a college student who had yet to leave the ivory tower, the experiences of tonight were enough to refresh her understanding of the world.

"That man... why did he call you... Young Master Jiang?"

Overwhelmed by her tumultuous thoughts, she even forgot to address him as senior.

"Because it’s my nickname."

Jiang Chen responded without a change of expression.

"..."

Yao Bifu fell silent, looking at Jiang Chen with a peculiar gaze. After a while, she couldn’t help but ask again, "Aren’t you and Liang Zhenlun love rivals? Why are you..."

There were just too many questions on her mind.

"How long can hate breed hate."

Jiang Chen sighed, "How many relationships can last from start to finish? If every pair of love rivals must fight to the death, then society will never be harmonious."

So righteous and magnanimous, indeed.

Yao Bifu was instantly at a loss for words.

"Do you know that man?"

Jiang Chen countered with a question.

"Who?"

Yao Bifu’s mind was in chaos.

"The man who just took away Little Sister Luo."

Back in middle school, Jiang Chen had also read those popular YY novels, where the characters were often invincible one-man armies, some even tagged as "King of Soldiers" or "God of War", entering the scene with a supreme buff of being unmatched.

In the past, Jiang Chen thought it was all nonsensical, but now it seemed that art truly does imitate life.

Not to mention fighting a hundred alone, just the skills exhibited by that man were clear to Jiang Chen, who didn’t understand much about martial arts, that taking out Bai Haoran’s goons single-handedly wouldn’t be difficult for him.

Just look at how composed he was at the time. Truly the demeanor of a master.

If this were in a novel, he’d definitely be deserving of a character card.

"He must be a friend of Sister Li’er’s."

"Do you know him?"

"No."

Yao Bifu shook her head vigorously, like a bobblehead.

"How can you not know him if you’re so close to her?"

Jiang Chen was puzzled.

Although it was a civilized society now and brute strength was no longer revered, interest and curiosity towards highly skilled individuals were unavoidable.

"We’re close, but what does that have to do with knowing that man?"

Yao Bifu quickly said, "This is also my first time seeing that man."

"Then do you know what her sister does for a living?"

Being able to know such a capable friend indicated that she must be extraordinary herself.

Yao Bifu shook her head again.

Jiang Chen smiled helplessly, "How come you don’t know anything?"

"Li’er never tells me about her family matters."

That mysterious?

Hearing this, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but recall what the junior sister had mentioned before – seeing him at Spring and Autumn Plaza.

He had explained it as merely passing by, and she had responded with the same excuse.

Jiang Chen leaned back into the chair slowly.

East Sea University really is a place with hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

————

Spring and Autumn Plaza.

The mansion worth over a hundred million, number 25.

Luo Li’er paced anxiously in her own room, restless as if the bed was filled with needles. She couldn’t sit still for a moment before having to stand and pace back and forth, her anxiety seemingly more intense than when she was cornered by thugs in the restroom.

Footsteps sounded from outside her room.

She looked toward the door, her heart skipping a beat.

"Thump, thump, thump..."

The door was knocked, not too loudly, but in the quiet of the night, it resonated with a heart-shaking force.

Luo Li’er’s face showed distress, as if some flood beast was waiting outside, unwilling to open the door.

"Luo Li’er, you open this door for me."

The shout from outside came swiftly, the enchanting voice now tinged with a hint of anger.

The more Luo Li’er heard, the tenser she became, but she had nowhere to hide. Under the repeated urging from the other side, she could only slowly make her way over.

Her hand on the doorknob felt as heavy as a thousand pounds. She took a deep breath and, in the moment she opened the door, put on a beaming, adorable smile, sweetly calling out, "Sis."

The woman was unmoved, ignoring her attempt to charm and entering with a cold expression.

"Sis, has Brother Xiangdong left?"

Luo Li’er still tried to lighten the mood.

"You’ve really grown up, huh, daring to go to a bar all by yourself."

The woman remained unresponsive.

"Sis, I wasn’t alone; I went with my classmates."

Luo Li’er quickly defended herself.

"What difference does it make?"

The woman turned around, her face that could be deemed as beautiful as flowers and as elegant as the moon no longer held the usual grace, as strands of cold air seeped from those captivating eyes, making the entire room’s temperature seem to drop several degrees.

"What kind of place is a bar? A mix of fish and dragons, a gathering of all walks of life, every kind of person is there. You sure are bold!"

"Sis, but I’m fine, right?"

Luo Li’er muttered.

"You still dare to talk back?"

Luo Li’er quickly bowed her head, not daring to utter another word.

"I’m going to call your mom tomorrow."

"Don’t!"

Luo Li’er’s heart jolted.

If her family found out about this, she wouldn’t have any peace for a long time; her mother might even come all the way to East Sea.

"Sis, I’m already an adult. You don’t have to call and tattle about everything, okay?"

Seeing that the girl still dared to argue, the woman who was adored like fish leaping across the river became even angrier.

"Your parents entrusted you to me. If anything happened to you, how would I explain it to them?"

"Sis, I know I was wrong, I won’t dare do it again."

Luo Li’er pleaded pitifully.

In normal circumstances, the woman would have just scolded her for show and then let it go, but this time, she was genuinely startled.

Due to her status, it was not suitable for her to show up in person; when she sent Liao Xiangdong to go, her state at home was hardly any better than Luo Li’er’s pacing in her room.

"I won’t call, but you’ll have to accept my arrangement."

"What arrangement?"

"I need to arrange a bodyguard to follow you."

The woman brought up the old topic again.

"No, sis, this really was just an accident, and if I don’t go to bars anymore, won’t that solve it?"

The thought of being monitored wherever she went made Luo Li’er resist the idea.

"You can either have a chat with your aunt or let the bodyguard follow you; it’s your choice."

Without giving Luo Li’er any chance to continue resisting, the woman walked out after saying her piece.

"Sis, can you give me some time to think about it?"

Luo Li’er looked back helplessly.

"I’m flying to Capital City tomorrow to attend an event. I need an answer from you before I return in the evening."

The woman left, closing the door behind her.

"Ah!"

Luo Li’er flopped back onto the bed, frustrated, grabbed a doll, and started beating it wildly.
