Chapter 693: Chapter 665: Li Chen’s Sense of Powerlessness

The next day, Li Chen did not stay at home, but instead went to the company with Lin Yi.

Upon arriving at the company and seeing familiar scenes, Li Chen’s expression involuntarily fell.

He remembered Wang Qianqian.

Back then, when Wang Qianqian came to apply for a job at the company, he happened to be there as well.

In the blink of an eye, so many days had passed.

Seeing Li Chen’s arrival, many people from the lab wanted to greet him. But upon seeing his troubled expression, and his mysterious absence for so many days, they all hesitated, not daring to approach.

They had also noticed that Wang Qianqian had not come to work these past few days, and so the lab staff speculated that something might have happened between Li Chen and Wang Qianqian.

As for what exactly had occurred, no one could guess.

But they all consciously gave Li Chen his personal space, not disturbing him.

After sitting in the office for a while, Li Chen had no mind to stay longer, so he left the lab and started wandering around every corner of the company.

Here, many places had retained traces of him and Wang Qianqian.

Even Li Chen felt as if Wang Qianqian would appear before him at the next moment.

But he also understood that this was no longer possible.

"Qianqian, wait for me. I will definitely rescue you!" Li Chen’s eyes revealed a faint melancholy, then he turned and left the company.

Staying here, he always felt a sense of oppression in his heart.

After leaving the company, Li Chen took a long breath. It felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on his chest, making it hard to breathe, so he needed to go outside for air.

Walking on the streets of Linchuan, Li Chen’s head hung slightly, just like any ordinary passerby, and no one took notice of him.

Nor would anyone know how many earth-shaking events had once happened to this young man.

Now, he looked more like an ordinary person who had suffered emotional defeat.

His eyes appeared somewhat forlorn.

"Pretty girl, want to find a place to chat?" suddenly, a voice arose that made Li Chen frown.

He always felt particularly displeased when he heard such voices, especially when he was already in a bad mood.

Looking up, sure enough, not far away, a young man surrounded by a group of bodyguards was harassing a girl, and despite her constant attempts to evade, the man’s lecherous hands kept reaching out.

"Step aside, I need to get through!"

The girl’s eyes showed anger, and she also looked very aggrieved, but she was unable to get out due to the bodyguards surrounding her.

She was squeezed amongst the men while the young man continued to molest her.

"Don’t rush, of course, I will step aside, but first, you have to promise to have a couple of drinks with me, how about it?" The young man had a weird smile on his face.

The girl was about to cry but had no solution to her situation, and could only look around helplessly at the other people for assistance.

Given the bodyguards around the young man, it was clear he was a rich second generation with a very wealthy appearance.

Many people around were very angry at the young man’s behavior, but upon seeing the towering bodyguards, they could only watch, not daring to do anything.

It wasn’t that they didn’t dare to step forward, it was just that these bodyguards were not something they could handle.

For an ordinary person, there could be no greater sorrow than this.

To have the heart of a hero, but not the power.

For some reason, after seeing this scene, Li Chen felt even more uncomfortable.

The feeling of powerlessness, that’s what it was.

Back when he had watched Wang Qianqian enter the Stone Gate with the Seven-Colored Being, he had felt the same way. Like the people around him, he had felt powerless, longing to intervene but lacking the ability.

A silent sorrow suddenly spread through Li Chen’s heart.

Shaking his head, Li Chen strode towards the direction of the young man.

The passersby were all glaring at the young man and his bodyguards with rage, but under the bodyguards’ intimidation, they dared not make a move. When they saw someone approaching, the bystanders turned their attention to him.

It seemed that they were placing all their hopes on this young man.

Li Chen reached the group and, looking at the young man who was still toying with the girl, he spoke coldly, "Get lost!"

As if just now becoming aware of Li Chen’s presence, the young man turned his head curiously and looked at Li Chen, a trace of curiosity in his eyes, "Did you just talk to me?"

"No, I’m speaking to an animal," Li Chen said calmly.

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, the young man’s face finally darkened.

"Do you know who you’re talking to?" the young man stretched out his hand, pointing at himself, "Me! Wang Bing! A scion of the Wang Family, get it?"

With that, the young man waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it’s useless talking to a commoner like you. Let me put it this way, as long as the Wang Family wishes, there really isn’t anything that can’t be done here, understand?"

"And you," Wang Bing said, pointing at Li Chen, "just now, you cursed at me. Do you know how serious the consequences of that are?"

"I don’t know, and I don’t care to know. All I know is, cursing you out just now was already the greatest mercy I could show you, giving you another chance," Li Chen said coldly, completely ignoring the threatening glares of several bodyguards behind Wang Bing. "Leave, immediately!"

"Wow!" Wang Bing looked at Li Chen and couldn’t help but sneer, "Impressive, you’ve got guts. I really admire guys with big balls who don’t know how high the sky or how deep the earth is."

"But even if you wanted to regret it now, it’s too late! Don’t think I’ll care just because there are people around watching. Even if they see, what can they do to me?" Wang Bing’s gaze swept around the bystanders, and immediately, those who made eye contact with him stepped back.

"Your courage probably comes from these onlookers, right? Let me tell you, I, Wang Bing, love to deal with those who think they’re strong. And these bystanders are nothing but a bunch of salty fish, why should I care about them?"

"Your bravery is worthless in front of me," Wang Bing said as he stretched out a finger toward Li Chen, gently shaking it.

"You’ve got no chance," Li Chen said to Wang Bing, his voice calm.

However, when the onlookers looked at Li Chen, they all showed a look of pity.

Indeed, they admired Li Chen’s actions.

But when doing something, one must also consider the consequences, which is why they didn’t step forward to play the hero.

With so many bodyguards on the other side, wouldn’t charging in blindly be just acting the hero?

Moreover, from the other side’s tone, it was clear he was someone significant. Although these common people didn’t know much about certain extraordinary beings, they were aware that in Huaxia, there were hidden powerhouses, and even invisible tycoons and the like.

Perhaps this man was from some hidden great family?

Such people, they could not afford to offend.

Similarly, they didn’t believe Li Chen could afford to offend them either.

Seeing that Li Chen still had such a calm expression, Wang Bing finally got angry.

Was this guy dead or something? Why couldn’t he see any fear or other emotions on his face?

His greatest hobby was to see the awe and fear on people’s faces when they heard his name.

But from this man’s face, he didn’t find a trace of satisfaction.

"Get him! This guy likes to act tough, so beat him until he can’t keep up the act!" Wang Bing shouted angrily at his bodyguards, even temporarily ignoring the girl.

Seeing the bodyguards grinning maliciously as they approached, Li Chen gently shook his head, feeling it beneath him to engage with such people.

"Handle it," Li Chen said softly.

Before Wang Bing could comprehend the meaning, suddenly a group of men in black appeared around them.

Before the bodyguards could react, these men in black charged, beating up everyone including Wang Bing and his group of bodyguards.

These bodyguards were somewhat capable, but against these men in black, they had no chance to fight back, like newborn babies against a strong adult.

Immediately, screams erupted from the crowd.

Li Chen shook his head and walked away.

Watching Wang Bing and the others get beaten, all the onlookers revealed satisfied expressions. Such arrogant people deserved a good lesson.

However, when they looked at Li Chen, their eyes unwittingly showed curiosity and awe.

Being able to summon so many people with a wave of a hand, this man was clearly no ordinary person.

The girl who had been bullied wanted to thank Li Chen, but after seeing his silent expression, she hesitated, feeling intimidated.

"Be more careful in the future, and call the police the moment you encounter such people," Li Chen said, turning his head to smile at the girl, and then he left the crowd.

Upon hearing his words, the girl’s face lit up with a smile, and she nodded vigorously, "Yes!"

Watching Li Chen’s receding figure, the girl mustered her courage and called out loudly, "Thank you!"

Li Chen smiled but didn’t look back.

Just as Li Chen had not walked far, a figure clothed in white suddenly appeared before him.

An Qin looked at Li Chen, smiling faintly, "I didn’t expect it, but you’ve got quite a chivalrous heart."

Seeing An Qin appear, a look of pleasant surprise involuntarily appeared on Li Chen’s usually calm face.
