Chapter 454: Chapter 428 Public Opinion Ferments

This kick landed viciously on Guo Chuan’s calf, and with that, there seemed to be a crisp snap. Guo Chuan groaned, and then he passed out completely.

After Xiuman was pulled away, Mayor Ren rushed over, anxiously shouting, "Quick, take him to the hospital!"

Mayor Ren was filled with guilt, wishing he had never invited this old friend over. If anything serious happened to Guo Chuan, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

James shrugged his shoulders as the group of reporters watched them arrogantly get into the car and then drive away.

But it only took a moment for the reporters to explode!

"Fuck******, these foreign devils are too damned arrogant; I can’t take it anymore. I must report this, and if the higher-ups dare suppress it, I’ll quit my job as a journalist."

"Damn it, count me in. If I don’t get those foreign devils fried, I’ll resign too."

A large group of reporters were instantly furious and hurried back to start writing their reports. The entire public opinion system was set into motion.

From the experience of previous years, visits by martial arts teams from abroad weren’t a big news story—this time was supposed to be the same, probably impacting Linchuan locally a bit more. But this time, public opinion was fermenting rapidly.

"Foreign martial arts team beats a Huaxia man to death at the airport!"

"Grandmaster Guo Chuan steps in to help but is seriously injured by the foreign martial arts team"

"Martial arts team claims they will sweep the national martial arts community with extreme arrogance"

...

Various headlines exploded onto the scene, numerous news apps, clients, and Weibo accounts all released the story.

Moreover, crucially, some TV stations had live footage with accompanying videos, which caused the news to spread virally in no time, skyrocketing to the top of the trending searches.

After seeing the news, countless netizens were also enraged.

"Fuck******, these foreign devils are running wild, right here in our Huaxia."

"Although I don’t usually follow martial arts, this time I have to watch. Fight, and fight them hard!"

"These foreign devils must be caught. They struck so hard; it was obviously on purpose."

"Isn’t Master Guo in the video overpowering that foreign devil? How did he suddenly get punched?"

The netizens were abuzz with discussion, and in an instant, the comments exceeded ten thousand, with the number of shares climbing by tens of thousands.

Countless people were sharing, countless were furious.

And when some observant individuals noticed in the video that Guo Chuan had been hit with a hidden weapon in the back, that anger was almost enough to flip the internet!

"Fuck****** these damned foreign devils, they actually play dirty. Does anyone know where they’re staying? I’m going to blow up their hotel tonight!"

"Brother upstairs, calm down, that’s not the right thing to do. We live in a civilized society now, everything has to be done according to rules and order. Wait a minute, I’ll call the police to bring over a few bombers and just flatten the hotel outright."

"I’ve already sent people to check; it won’t be long before their hotel is found out."

At the same time, even more people went straight to the sects and masters:

"@Shaolin Sect, these foreign devils are utterly despicable, send someone from the Shaolin Sect to extinguish them!"

"Master, will you be attending this martial arts exchange? @Haaoran."

In short, Weibo was in complete chaos, and public sentiment was rapidly fermenting.

Meanwhile, the news also quickly dominated everyone’s Moments on WeChat, and upon learning the truth, everyone was outraged:

"Do they still think we’re the same Huaxia from the Qing Dynasty? That’s too oppressive!"

"These damn foreign devils and the Japanese are not good at all; Koreans covet our cultural heritage, and these two devils are eyeing our destruction."

"Fuck, I will definitely watch this martial arts exchange, and they must be beaten to death!"

...

Televisions on the streets, in restaurants, and inside convenience stores—all kinds of broadcasting equipment happened to show the news.

As soon as the video came out, some people immediately became furious.

In a company, a boss slammed the table: "Liu Fang, to the hospital!"

The incident spread quickly, and it wasn’t long before the government had to step in to respond, ensuring that a perfect resolution would be given to everyone.

Some masters from the national martial arts community were also enraged after hearing the news. They were insiders and could tell at a glance that Guo Chuan had failed due to a sudden hidden weapon from behind.

"Count me in for this martial arts exchange," said someone coldly from within the Bagua Sect.

A disciple stood up and said, "Master, you’re advanced in years; let me handle this."

The elder waved his hand. "Guo Chuan and I have been friends for most of our lives. How can I not be there when he’s in trouble?"

A Jiangnan mansion.

An elder clad in white, listening to the message from the servant, said leisurely, "They’ve come again. Well, this time I won’t hold back."

Such scenes were common, the entire National Martial Arts Community was enraged. After all, Guo Chuan was one of their own. To treat Guo Chuan in such a manner was to slap the face of the National Martial Arts Community.

Moreover, they used underhanded tactics in the competition, something they couldn’t tolerate. This time in the martial arts exchange, they were determined to not let their opponents leave in defeat again.

...

Li Chen was oblivious to all this; after taking advantage of Lin Yi, he left the office with great comfort.

The touch of a beautiful wife really is good.

Li Chen raised his left hand, recalling how it had felt on his beautiful wife’s buttocks—a sensation so delightful it was, well, indescribable.

Li Chen hummed cheerfully, starting to sing a little tune: "Reach out to touch my sister’s silky hair, dark clouds have scattered across the sky. Reach out to touch my sister’s forehead, a full and tempting celestial brow."

He was actually singing the notorious ditty: "******."

Of course, this was a song not suitable for children; it was better left unheard by those under a certain age.

It was noon, and Li Chen went downstairs to the security room to check on Zhong Tian and see if he had eaten. This disciple had a huge appetite, got hungry easily, and was not easy to maintain. If not for the bit of money he had, his own pockets would have been emptied by him.

As Li Chen headed toward the security room, he suddenly saw Wang Qianqian looking panicked, hurriedly preparing to leave.

Huh, what’s happened to this girl?

Li Chen was curious as he saw Wang Qianqian walking by with utter panic on her face, so much so that she didn’t even notice him.

"Bang"

Wang Qianqian ran straight into Li Chen’s arms. Before he could even speak, Wang Qianqian hurriedly apologized: "I’m so sorry, so sorry."

Li Chen chuckled: "Qianqian, what’s the rush?"

Upon seeing Li Chen, Wang Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief but still said anxiously, "My dad just called to say that my mom has been hit and is now in the hospital. I need to get there immediately."

Li Chen frowned, "I’ll go with you."

Wang Qianqian nodded and hurriedly led Li Chen to the hospital.

The hospital was in the city area, so it wasn’t too far. They took a taxi and arrived half an hour later.

Once there, they went straight to the ward.

"Mom!"

Seeing her mother lying sickly in bed was heart-wrenchingly painful.

"Qianqian?"

Wang Qianqian’s mother, Liu Fang, was overjoyed to see her daughter but then chided the man standing beside her: "Why did you bring Qianqian here? I’m not seriously injured."

Wang Shan stood beside them, still the same as Li Chen had seen him before, in a suit with glasses, but now with a worried expression on his face.

"Uncle, Auntie," Li Chen greeted.

Wang Shan looked up and managed a slight smile: "Oh, it’s Li Chen. I didn’t expect you to come."

"Let me take a look at Auntie’s injuries," said Li Chen.

Since Li Chen had once saved Qianqian’s grandmother, both Wang Shan and Liu Fang had great confidence in Li Chen’s medical skills.

Upon examining Liu Fang’s injuries, Li Chen’s brow furrowed. Her injuries weren’t too severe but would require time to recover. Aside from the external injuries, the worst to behold was the swollen patch on her face, clearly the result of a slap.

"Who delivered such a cruel hit?" Li Chen frowned. Whoever hit her was clearly vicious, even bruising Liu Fang’s face. The left half was swollen purple, blood veins seeped through.

Wang Shan sighed, "A rich second generation."

It turned out that Liu Fang had encountered an unwarranted disaster. While driving, she had been rear-ended, and before she could react, the other party got out of the car with a group of people.

They didn’t apologize; instead, they claimed she had scratched their car and demanded she pay up, otherwise, they threatened to hit her.

Liu Fang was bewildered; it was a clear rear-end collision caused by the other party but now she was being asked to pay. She took a glance at the other vehicle—a Ferrari. Although their family was well-off, she couldn’t afford to pay for a Ferrari, not to mention that she shouldn’t have to.

Naturally, Liu Fang refused, but to her shock, the rich second generation was ruthless and started hitting her, even causing her face to swell.

After being beaten, Liu Fang called the police and the rich second generation was taken away, but she had to be admitted to the hospital due to her injuries.

After hearing the whole story, Li Chen nodded, "Auntie, I’ll handle this for you."

These rich second generations, thinking their wealth made them superior, Li Chen detested such people who relied on their inherited capital and yet contributed nothing, causing trouble instead. Can this be tolerated?

Just as Li Chen was about to order his men to investigate, the door to the ward was suddenly kicked open. A trendy man with ripped jeans, an ear stud, and red hair came strutting in, followed by a gang of muscular men carrying tools.

"You *****! Did you think getting the cops to lock me up would be the end of it?"
