Chapter 623: 514 Bei Yuan Nan Ye_2

The round-faced girl showed no mercy as she kicked a man when he was down, even deliberately drawing out her tone on the last few words, which left Jiang Chen momentarily unable to tell whether the two were in cahoots or not.

"You brat, shut up! Can’t you see I was ambushed?"

Yuan Bingshan bellowed angrily.

"Tch, losers only make excuses for their failures."

The round-faced girl scoffed disdainfully, really not giving any face at all.

Although Jiang Chen was somewhat puzzled about their relationship, he silently applauded the girl’s words.

However, he had to admit.

Because Lan Peizhi had intervened to save him, she had indeed violated the agreement they had just made.

It was apparent that Yuan Bingshan was extremely frustrated, but he was effectively rendered speechless by the girl’s retort. He was indeed robust; after being flung so far and crashing so hard, he seemed to be undamaged, quickly jumping off the stage without seeking out Jiang Chen but looking straight at Lan Peizhi instead.

"Let’s have a match."

Jiang Chen stood by silently with raised eyebrows, growing more curious about this man’s identity.

The man clearly knew Lan Peizhi.

And more precisely,

he had come for Lan Peizhi.

"You don’t qualify."

"..."

Jiang Chen’s brows twitched even more fiercely.

Yuan Bingshan, neither angry nor smiling and much more serious than when facing Jiang Chen, even had a glint of fervor dancing in his eyes.

"You must fight me."

Without paying him any more attention, Lan Peizhi turned to leave but, without any sportsmanship, the man resorted to the same tactic and launched a sneak attack—a fierce right hook aimed at the back of Lan Peizhi’s head.

"Be careful..."

Jiang Chen’s expression changed.

His goodwill turned out to be unnecessary.

As if she had eyes on the back of her head, Lan Peizhi moved nimbly the moment Jiang Chen spoke, deftly avoiding Yuan Bingshan’s unexpected punch. Her eyes narrowed slightly, glinting with a dangerous shimmer.

Then, Jiang Chen witnessed a scene that took his breath away.

Seeing the renowned woman gracefully capture Yuan Bingshan’s arm, pressing down and forcing his body to uncontrollably pitch forward. Yuan Bingshan, a man forged through countless battles, reacted quickly, realizing the danger the instant it occurred and immediately raising his left hand.

At the same time,

Lan Peizhi’s knee shot up like lightning, striking against his attempted block with such force that it exceeded Yuan Bingshan’s expectations.

His arm was forced to his chest and abdomen.

Yuan Bingshan bent over like a bowing shrimp.

With an expressionless face, Lan Peizhi’s seemingly soft hand had already swung out, striking towards Yuan Bingshan’s crown. Just as the palm wind was about to hit his scalp, she suddenly changed direction and landed the blow on Yuan Bingshan’s shoulder instead.

Yuan Bingshan was sent flying once more, his feet dragging across the ground. After seven or eight steps, he stumbled and fell to the ground again.

Jiang Chen’s eyes flickered with admiration as he looked at Yuan Bingshan lying on the ground and then at the calm woman beside him, unable to find words for a long time.

The time on the helicopter with the sniper rifle didn’t count.

This must have been the first time he officially saw Lan Peizhi take action.

The whole incident had taken place in the blink of an eye.

What kind of terrifying power was hidden within the delicate body of this graceful and exquisite woman?

No wonder she could dominate numerous serpents and snakes, forcing them to bend their knees and crawl.

If she hadn’t held back just now, had that palm really hit its mark, it’s likely that...

Jiang Chen subconsciously thought that if Lan Peizhi were to be matched against a professional mercenary like Annabelle,

who would be stronger and who would be weaker?

"Yuan Bingshan, are you alright?"

Though she enjoyed the spectacle, the round-faced girl still cared for Yuan Bingshan. Perhaps she also noticed the peril in their brief exchange, so she stopped sitting leisurely on the bench, got up, and hurried over to help him up.

"I can’t beat her."

Impeded by labored breathing, Yuan Bingshan’s voice sounded quite muffled, his face a shade paler, appearing somewhat defeated.

Both the ease of being repelled a second time and the numbness in half his body constantly reminded him that they weren’t on the same level.

"I warned you before, but you wouldn’t listen and insisted on seeking a beating."

The round-faced girl scolded as she helped him up.

"Wasn’t it you who egged me on to do this?"

"Did I?"

The girl widened her eyes innocently.

Yuan Bingshan didn’t have the energy to bicker with her, his arm, chest, and half his body aching, continually taking deep breaths.

"Haha, sorry for the interruption."

The round-faced girl let out a chuckle, then just as nonchalantly helped Yuan Bingshan walk away.

"I will come back again."

As he passed by, Yuan Bingshan declared, serious and earnest.

This guy.

Was truly persistent.

"Tonight’s bill is on the house, everyone carry on."

After the two had left, Jiang Chen quickly managed the aftermath.

The guests, being tactful, all returned to their places. Music and dancing resumed in the great hall as if nothing had happened.

Lan Peizhi glanced at him.

Jiang Chen chuckled awkwardly, "Put it on my tab."

Lan Peizhi walked away without a word.

Jiang Chen quickly followed.

The two of them didn’t get into the car; instead, they walked along the street.

Jiang Chen asked naturally, "Miss Lan, who was that guy just now?"

"Yuan Bingshan."

"Such aristocratic figures are rare indeed," Jiang Chen murmured softly.

Perhaps she found his description somewhat amusing, Lan Peizhi fell silent for a moment.

"Haven’t you heard of ’North Yuan, South Ye’?"

"North Yuan, South Ye?"

Jiang Chen looked puzzled.

"Yuan Bingshan, Ye Tingxuan, together known as North Yuan, South Ye, are the most distinctive representatives of the northern and southern regions..."

As she spoke, Lan Peizhi paused, then in a tone neither hot nor cold, continued, "Speaking of which, you have become a rather special character."

"How am I special?"

Jiang Chen didn’t understand.

"To have crossed hands with both North Yuan and South Ye, and still be jumping around alive, so far, you’re the only one."

The meaning behind Lan Peizhi’s words was obscure, leaving one unsure if it was praise or criticism.

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

So saying,

he truly, indeed...

should feel "honored."

"If it weren’t for Miss Lan lending a helping hand in time, I might have had to call an ambulance."

He said shamefacedly.

While others go to all lengths to avoid owing favors, he seemed to do just the opposite.

"Why don’t you have bodyguards?"

The simple question instantly left Jiang Chen at a loss for words.

Indeed,

with his current worth, it was only natural to have bodyguards protecting his personal safety.

However, hearing this from a woman made it somewhat unpleasant to listen to.

"And that girl? Do you know her as well, Miss Lan?"

Jiang Chen coughed lightly to shift from the embarrassing topic.

"Yuan Run."

"Yuan Run?"

Jiang Chen instinctively remembered the face that revealed two cute tiger teeth while smiling.

"They are siblings."

"Biological siblings?"

Jiang Chen asked, surprised.

Lan Peizhi nodded slightly.

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

He had thought they were just friends, but it turned out they were siblings.

And such siblings?

"It’s a big world with no shortage of wonders," Jiang Chen mused aloud.

Lan Peizhi neither agreed nor disagreed.

Actually, what you do is not important, what matters is who you’re with.

Even aimlessly wandering the streets at this moment, Jiang Chen felt a special charm to it.

The car followed them silently.

"Miss Lan, you aren’t transferring Aphang Palace to me just because..."

Jiang Chen sensed something fishy.

Lan Peizhi turned her head.

"Are you afraid?"

Jiang Chen was taken aback.

It seemed he might have guessed correctly.

Lan Peizhi was eager to get rid of Aphang Palace, there must be a reason behind it.

Despite her distinguished reputation, Lan Peizhi wasn’t "invincible," at least not to Yuan Bingshan, no, to be precise, the Yuan siblings, who seemed quite unafraid of her.

"What would I be afraid of?"

Jiang Chen smiled nonchalantly.

"Could you withstand that punch from Yuan Bingshan?"

Lan Peizhi turned her head.

Jiang Chen gave a wry smile.

He indeed wasn’t afraid; if he couldn’t provoke, couldn’t he still avoid?

Yuan Bingshan was obviously after Lan Peizhi, and he had no quarrels with Jiang Chen, so if the ownership of Aphang Palace changed, Jiang Chen didn’t believe the other party would persist in a chase.

Perhaps it wasn’t quite right; Yuan Bingshan’s behavior just now indeed didn’t seem like that of an unreasonable person.

Even retreating one step further, if he couldn’t provoke, couldn’t he still avoid?

If he bought Aphang Palace, he was already guaranteed a profit, at worst he could just sell it to someone else.

"Miss Lan, whether I can withstand it or not, I ought to give it a try, shouldn’t I?"

Jiang Chen declared righteously.

Lan Peizhi glanced at him silently.
