Chapter 458: Chapter 432: So You Think You’re the Only One with People?

"Yo, Mr. Cheen is here, how come you’re so early, didn’t sleep in a bit?" the people in the laboratory greeted with laughter, and Yang Zi also chuckled.

Li Chen already knew these people’s characters, and sure enough, before he could speak, Zhao Qi chimed in, "How could he sleep in when the one beside his pillow is already up, it’s just not the same without someone to cuddle with."

"Oh~~~ so that’s what it is." Yang Zi also laughed with a hehe.

Li Chen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but a girl nearby looked disdainfully at Zhao Qi and Yang Zi: "That’s still better than you two single dogs, without even someone to cuddle with; for all you know, your significant others are still in someone else’s belly."

Whoa, what the heck!

Yang Zi and Zhao Qi were dumbfounded, while Li Chen found it even more amusing. The people in this laboratory really had sharp tongues; there was no such thing as the sharpest, only sharper.

At this time, Wang Qianqian also arrived, and Li Chen greeted her with a smile.

"Qianqian, how is your mother feeling now?"

Wang Qianqian nodded with a smile, "Brother Cheen, my mom is doing much better now, the doctor said she can be discharged in a few days."

"That’s good to hear, I’m relieved to hear Auntie is fine," Li Chen said, but suddenly, he noticed Zhao Qi and Yang Zi sneaking over to eavesdrop.

"What are you two doing?" Li Chen glared at them, and Zhao Qi and Yang Zi both coughed and said, "Just nothing."

Wang Qianqian couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh; those two were the funniest in the whole laboratory.

As Li Chen was about to speak, the laboratory’s phone rang. An employee went to answer it and then said, "Mr. Cheen, it’s the front desk, they’re looking for you."

Li Chen was stunned, the front desk, looking for me?

He picked up the phone.

"Hello, Li Chen, you better come down quickly, a big group of people with machetes have blocked our company’s door!" came the slightly panicked voice of the receptionist on the phone.

Li Chen was shocked and quickly responded, "I’ll be right down."

Meanwhile, at the entrance of Jinmao Tower, dozens of burly men stood, emanating a faint killing intent while holding machetes in their hands.

This group of men blocked the entrance by simply standing there, effectively sealing the door shut, preventing the employees who were trying to get to work from entering. Anyone who approached was met with the glint of the men’s weapons, scaring them off so that a crowd had formed on the outside.

Some onlookers had already gathered at the scene, marveling at the audacity of these men. After the explosion at Lin’s Group, the Linchuan Government had been cracking down on such incidents, but it was unexpected that some people still dared to break the law, they must be either fools or backed by someone powerful.

Who could possibly be behind this?

Inside the lobby, Gao Gu was also accompanied by more than a dozen burly men holding machetes, strutting around the lobby arrogantly.

"Damn, hurry up and call Li Chen down for me, or else I’ll tear this crappy company apart!" Gao Gu demanded, pride plastered all over his face.

I’ve brought so many people with me this time, I don’t believe I can’t handle this. I’m going to hang you from Linchuan Mountain!

Gao Gu thought furiously as he watched the receptionist dawdling. He angrily slammed his hand down on the table and shouted, "You still dawdling? Wanna die?"

The receptionist jumped in fright, immediately making the call, while Gao Gu, after that slap, held up his hand in pain and blew on it, his hand swelling up.

Damn, why is this crappy table so hard?

Looking closely, he realized it was a ******* marble table!

Gao Gu nearly cried out in pain but managed to hold it in, however, seeing so many people watching him, he blazed out in anger, "What are you looking at? Keep staring and I’ll kill you all!"

"You wouldn’t dare." A deep, sonorous voice emerged, and Gao Gu turned to see a group of security guards approaching, among them a particularly large and bulky man.

"What wouldn’t I dare do?" Gao Gu sneered, "Let me tell you, if you push me too far, I’ll start cutting people up in this company, starting with her!"

Gao Gu pointed his finger, and the receptionist gasped, realizing he was pointing at her.

Zhong Tian was furious and wanted to go straight over to fight, but the team leader was worried and quickly stopped Zhong Tian.

"Let’s wait and see."

Gao Gu, seeing the security guards not making a move, became even more defiant, his face clearly taunting them to come and bite him.

The employees watched from a distance, speculating about this person’s identity, but at this moment, Li Chen finally came down.

"You finally rolled down here." Gao Gu sneered coldly as if seeing a sworn enemy, wishing nothing more than to tear Li Chen apart and swallow him alive!

"Are you complaining that the collateral amount from yesterday wasn’t enough?" Li Chen was unfazed and even asked with a smile, which made Gao Gu’s expression turn even uglier, as it reminded him of yesterday’s humiliating moment.

Color drained and then flooded his face with anger, Gao Gu shouted, "I’m telling you, today, no matter what, nobody is going to help you."

"I’ve got this," Zhong Tian said in his deep, resonant voice.

Li Chen waved at Zhong Tian, still beaming with a smile, "Last time no one helped me either, and didn’t I still beat you until you cried for mercy? Last time you even paid me one million, so how much are you planning to give me this time?"

Hearing this, the surrounding employees couldn’t help but laugh, realizing this guy had come back to save face and find some payback.

However, some were worried; with so many people on the other side and Li Chen alone, no matter how strong he was, he couldn’t beat them all—plus, they were holding machetes, clearly seasoned toughs who didn’t value human life.

These concerns were on the minds of the new employees, whose worried expressions were obvious, but some of the veteran employees were relaxed, even pointing and whispering to each other, without a hint of worry.

"Yo, big bro, haven’t you gone to work yet?"

"Hey, I stumbled upon this little situation, so I stayed to watch."

"Haha, how do you think Li Chen is going to deal with them this time?"

"Haha, whatever it is, it’s going to hurt for sure."

These seasoned employees had witnessed Li Chen’s displays of prowess at the company’s entrance time and again. They knew he was skilled in martial arts and that handling this group would be a piece of cake for him.

But the new employees felt differently, worrying themselves sick, and a lovely girl even turned her head away, not bearing to watch what she feared might be Li Chen being hacked to death.

The new employees were so curious about the old employees’ nonchalant attitude, it was as if the latter were just short of pulling up a chair and shouting, "Get your sunflower seeds, fruit, chicken wings, Wu Dalang pancakes—anyone need anything?" as if they were there just to watch the excitement.

"Hey, just watch and you’ll understand," an old employee said to a newcomer.

Gao Gu, too lazy to waste words on Li Chen, clapped his hands sharply. Instantly, the brawny men with machetes surged toward Li Chen, surrounding him completely!

Li Chen still smiled, as Gao Gu roared furiously, "What are you laughing at? You’re caught, and you still dare to smile?"

"You think you’re the only one with people?"

Li Chen retorted scornfully, and suddenly, he too clapped his hands.

Gao Gu stared at Li Chen’s action, temporarily stunned before he wanted to burst into laughter. Had Li Chen gone mad? Mimicking his signal—as if these guys would listen to him?

But just then, as Li Chen’s clapping sound echoed, the surrounding employees realized that a lot of people had suddenly appeared from amongst them. These people might have looked ordinary, but in that moment, there was an air of ferocity about them!

The Palace of the Nether King’s forces were there all along!

After the major explosion at Lin’s Group, how could Li Chen not be cautious? And since the Jinmao Tower was originally acquired by Army Breaker from the Hongmen Sect, it naturally became the Palace of the Nether King’s branch in Linchuan. By bringing men here, Gao Gu was encroaching on the territory of the Palace of the Nether King.

The new group lashed out at Gao Gu’s men, fighting with bare hands but with eyes shimmering with excitement.

In this place, where inactivity was almost a foregone conclusion, they were thrilled at the chance for action—they hadn’t had a good fight in ages and were eager to indulge.

"Damn, it’s been so long since I’ve thrown a punch—I’m going to enjoy this," they thought.

Gao Gu’s henchmen took on a more serious demeanor, gripping their machetes for defense or rushing toward their opponents. However, the moment the two groups clashed, it became clear how fragile Gao Gu’s men were, crumbling like paper against the swift strikes of the Nether Army.

One burly man had barely raised his machete when he was punched in the chest and stumbled backward. But as he raised his head, he saw a foot looming large in his view.

"Smack!"

He was kicked away, and another who chose to defend found himself flying through the air after a Nether Army’s powerful kick, drawing a parabolic line before crashing to the ground.

Gao Gu was dumbfounded: what was happening?

"You guys get in there too!" he yelled, his voice hoarse, as the rest of his sturdy men charged forth, but none stood a chance against the Nether Army.

Who were these Nether Army people?

They were the elite of the Palace of the Nether King!

The Palace of the Nether King’s forces were divided into the Four Combat Halls and the Five Nether Armies, and to join their ranks, members had to pass through five challenges and accumulate enough merits to be promoted!

This batch of Nether Army, eager for action after being stationed at the headquarters, pounced on Gao Gu’s men excitedly.

Famished for a fight, their hands were itching for a throwdown.

In just a short while, the assailants were beaten so badly they couldn’t tell north from south. Despite wielding machetes, they were useless. An incessant barrage of punches left them dazed and confused.

Gao Gu was in shock, the new employees couldn’t believe their eyes, and even the old employees were flabbergasted. When had their company acquired so many experts?

The ones who usually just sat in the lobby reading newspapers, mopped floors, or guarded doors—were they all top fighters?
