Chapter 601: Chapter 573: Wang De

Wang De looked on, dumbfounded by the scene before him. Wasn’t that his bodyguard?

Wang De had personally witnessed his bodyguard defeat several security guards single-handedly. But here, how had it come to this?

Just one kick, merely a single kick, and his bodyguard was sent rolling out?

Thinking of the ’get lost’ that Li Chen had just said to him, Wang De couldn’t help but tremble a little.

Could it be that his ’get lost’ was meant literally?

His own bodyguard had been kicked out with just one blow, so if that kick landed on him...

Wang De couldn’t bear to imagine what the outcome would be.

"Are you planning to make me leave like this?" Li Chen looked at Wang De and smiled as he spoke.

"Uh..."

Seeing his bodyguard taken down so easily, Wang De’s forehead broke out in cold sweat instantly.

He regretted being so impulsive. This guy seemed like a violent man, and standing so close to such a man clearly wasn’t a wise thing to do.

"Alright, alright, I can’t be bothered to argue with someone like you. If you don’t have anything else to do, you can leave now," Li Chen said to Wang De with disdain as he waved his hand dismissively.

Wang De’s face darkened, and he was visibly annoyed, but he also understood that it was meaningless to talk tough in front of such a violent man.

He considered himself a civilized person; getting beaten up by this guy here would be a loss.

Thinking this, Wang De snorted coldly and turned to leave.

"This guy just asks for it; a couple of slaps make him behave," Li Chen chuckled as he saw Wang De leave.

Lin Yi also couldn’t help but let out a laugh at the sight of Wang De scurrying away in defeat.

"Ding ding dong dong..."

At that moment, the venue of the banquet suddenly fell quiet.

Li Chen and Lin Yi turned their heads to look at the same time. They saw someone sitting on the stage at the front of the banquet hall, with a piano set up in front of him.

As the man’s fingers moved, the notes from the piano began to jump to life.

"Although the people here are businessmen, businessmen also value some refinement. Many here have studied various forms of elevated pursuits, and music is one of them," Lin Yi whispered in Li Chen’s ear from beside him.

As the piece concluded, a round of enthusiastic applause echoed through the banquet hall.

At that moment, Wang De suddenly stepped forward again.

"What’s he up to?" Li Chen said, looking at Wang De and raising his eyebrows.

"It seems Wang De can also play the piano, and his piano rank is not low," Lin Yi shook his head and said, "Didn’t I tell you? Although he’s not that capable in certain areas, he’s quite proficient in others."

Sitting on the stage, Wang De felt the serenity around him and began to gently dance his fingers over the piano keys.

Wang De chose a Western classical piano piece, and it was evident that his technique was indeed exceptional; he played the whole piece without a single error. In essence, he performed the piece perfectly.

Without a single mistake throughout, when Wang De finished his piece, the applause in the hall immediately became even more enthusiastic.

"Bravo!"

"Young Master Wang plays so well!"

"Hahaha! It’s been ages since I’ve heard such a delightful piece. Today, Young Master Wang has truly cleansed our ears!"

At the end of the performance, Wang De, gracefully approached the piano and gave a light bow to the audience, "Thank you all for your appreciation."

"However, although everyone here has heard the piece, I still want to say that actually, this piece was intended for just one person in the audience." Wang De said softly with a smile as he looked around.

"Who is it? Who’s so lucky to have Young Master Wang play the piano for them personally? Such good fortune indeed," some who flattered Wang De couldn’t help but exclaim loudly.

Of course, even though their words were somewhat exaggerated, it was undeniable that Wang De’s piano skills were indeed impressive, and this had earned him widespread praise.

"This piece was performed for Miss Lin Yi," Wang De declared loudly.

As Wang De’s voice fell, many eyes turned toward Lin Yi, their faces bearing unmistakable envy.

Everyone in the circle knew that while Wang De might not be the sharpest in business, he was quite formidable in many other areas, and the piano was among his strengths.

Lin Yi frowned slightly under these gazes.

Li Chen had already made his stance and identity clear, and Wang De’s actions were essentially a public snub against Li Chen.

In Lin Yi’s view, Li Chen and she were married, a single entity; to disrespect Li Chen was to disrespect her as well.

"Not to hide from everyone, in fact, my piano skills have just surpassed the Tenth Level not long ago," Wang De said with a beaming smile.

"Tenth Level? That’s quite something," someone responded, amazed.

"No wonder Young Master Wang is so formidable."

Hearing the praise from the crowd, Wang De’s face showed an even thicker layer of smugness, "Actually, it’s not really a big deal. The rank of a pianist only indicates one’s proficiency, but the key is to perfectly execute a piano piece."

"Indeed, indeed... Young Master Wang certainly performed that piece perfectly. I was completely captivated listening to it!"

"Young Master Wang is truly impressive, Miss Lin Yi is so fortunate."

"What I just performed was merely equivalent to a Seventh Level piano piece, so, a ranking test doesn’t prove anything. Being pleasant to the ear is the true essence of a piano piece," Wang De said humbly.

At this moment, Lin Yi and Li Chen happened to walk by, and many people turned their gaze towards Li Chen, next to Lin Yi, their expressions growing somewhat strange.

Because Lin Yi was, startlingly, linking arms with Li Chen.

Looking again at Wang De, the crowd’s gazes became even more peculiar.

"It was just an ordinary piece, wasn’t it? You talk as if you’ve become a god," Li Chen glanced at Wang De and said to Lin Yi in a ’whisper’.

However, the surrounding people had all clearly heard this ’whisper,’ and their expressions grew even more bizarre.

They didn’t know Li Chen’s identity, but since he was being escorted arm in arm by Lin Yi, he might also be someone considerable. In the business world, the rule is to avoid offending others whenever possible, so the crowd remained silent.

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Wang De couldn’t help but become irritated, "You speak as if it’s the truth; why don’t you give it a try then? Anyone can shoot their mouth off!"

Looking at Li Chen, Wang De’s eyes showed contempt.

Looking at Wang De, Li Chen sighed softly and lowered his head, "Actually, I’m a person who prefers to keep a low profile."

Then, Li Chen raised his head once more, looking disdainfully at Wang De, "But since you asked so earnestly, I’ll go out of my way to let the whole world be aware of my modesty."
