Chapter 101 - 101 97 95 The Gun Behind the Rose

101: Chapter 97 Chapter 95: The Gun Behind the Rose 101: Chapter 97 Chapter 95: The Gun Behind the Rose The man at the eleven o’clock direction made a move too, and his stride was clearly steadier than that of the man before him.

His gaze was fixed on Li Ruo, and Ye Chen had an ominous feeling in his heart as he watched the man.

Something was not right about this guy.

But Ye Chen couldn’t quite put his finger on what that was.

“Beautiful lady, may I invite you for a dance?” the man asked with a faint smile.

“This…” Li Ruo was momentarily stunned.

It seemed her presence in the club was indeed hot news.

Li Ruo was very confident in her looks; it was rare for a man’s gaze to linger on her for less than three seconds.

Li Ruo laughed and said, “This…

you’ll have to ask my boyfriend!”

“Is that so?” The man’s smile took on a sinister curve.

His hand suddenly slipped into his pant pocket, then, holding a handgun, he said through the fabric to Ye Chen, “I think, sir, you wouldn’t be so petty, right?”

Ssst…

Ye Chen was instantly dumbfounded—the guy actually had a gun.

Not daring to act rashly, with the two of them so close, if the other party were to shoot, Chen would have virtually no chance of escape.

So, he stayed seated on the sofa without moving, while Li Ruo seemed to notice something was amiss.

Chen’s eyes landed on the coffee table, with the man standing at the other end of it.

Chen’s eyes brightened, and he said with a smile, “I think there shouldn’t be a problem with a dance!”

While speaking, Ye Chen slammed his leg fiercely onto the coffee table, the crystal table crashing into the man’s leg bone.

The man grimaced in pain, and through gritted teeth, fired a barrage of shots, but all the bullets missed.

Ye Chen quickly tackled Li Ruo to the ground.

In the midst of turning around, Ye Chen’s right leg harshly swept across the man’s cheek.

The man immediately crashed to the floor.

“Go to hell!” Ye Chen gritted his teeth, clenching his fists and rushing forward.

The man on the ground lunged at Ye Chen as well, and the two ended up grappling on the floor.

The surrounding noise drowned out the sound of the man’s gunfire.

Now with Ye Chen fighting the man, the crowd around them stepped back, forming a circle and shouting, “Kill him, kill him!”

In reality, no one had any real stake in the fight; it was just a part of human nature to want to witness scenes of gore and cruelty.

Ye Chen straddled the man, his fists raining down fiercely on the man’s head.

The man, now beaten and no longer able to fight back, let out a frenzied roar, his hands clawing and grabbing at Ye Chen.

Li Ruo, who had been extremely frightened, quickly called the police after getting free.

Police sirens blared as they approached, and the commotion at the club ceased.

Those taking drugs at the entrance and those fiddling with narcotics inside had vanished clean before the police even arrived.

“Who called the police!” led by Zhang Yantong, a troop of fully armed officers burst in, and the people in the club stepped aside, none daring to interfere.

Even the usual brash underlings hid on the sidelines at this time, because it was Zhang Yantong leading the charge, so they didn’t dare to make a move.

“Captain Zhang, I was the one who called!” Li Ruo quickly squeezed through the crowd.

Zhang Yantong was taken aback, then, looking at Li Ruo in astonishment, asked, “You?!”

“Yes!” Li Ruo nodded, while Ye Chen, grappling on the floor with the man, shouted, “And me!”

Zhang Yantong’s eyes widened once more as she looked at Ye Chen fighting on the ground; he bore no trace of a gentleman at this point, appearing entirely like a hooligan.

But at this time, the man being pinned down by Ye Chen was already beaten beyond recognition.

“Ye Chen…” Zhang Yantong began to speak, but Ye Chen interrupted loudly, “This guy has a gun in his pocket, everyone be careful!”

People scattered in panic, no one daring to come close anymore.

Zhang Yantong immediately signaled her team to rush in and handcuff the man while Ye Chen finally got up from the ground, sitting off to one side, panting heavily.

Li Ruo hurried over to help Ye Chen up.

Zhang Yantong pulled a Type 54 handgun with five bullets remaining in the clip from the man’s pocket.

The onlookers sighed in shock; the club was indeed a place full of chaos.

“Ye Chen, you must come with us to assist the investigation!” Zhang Yantong stared intently at Ye Chen.

“Alright then,” Ye Chen agreed with a resigned nod.

“Why?

Ye Chen isn’t a suspect.

He just bravely stepped in.

If it weren’t for him, this guy would have caused trouble in the club.

If someone had died then, the police couldn’t just walk away unscathed!” Li Ruo said, discontentedly arguing with Zhang Yantong.

“It’s just assisting with the investigation, we’re not arresting him!” Zhang Yantong snorted.

“Fine, I’ll go!” Ye Chen hurriedly said to Li Ruo, “You should head back quickly, it’s Saturday tomorrow; you can rest!”

“Okay then,” Li Ruo nodded helplessly.

It was just too much, having finally found a boyfriend, yet on their first night out, this had to happen.

Li Ruo felt somewhat jinxed.

Ye Chen left with Zhang Yantong.

The man had been locked up in the holding cell at the back of the police car, and since Ye Chen wasn’t a suspect, he sat upfront with Zhang Yantong.

The car started, and silence filled the interior, with only the driver, Ye Chen, and Zhang Yantong inside.

It was incredibly awkward for a while.

Ye Chen didn’t know what to say, while Zhang Yantong just turned her head to look outside the window.

“Captain Zhang, about that day…

I’m really sorry!” Ye Chen said, looking at Zhang Yantong.

“It’s fine; I don’t remember what happened!” Zhang Yantong shook her head.

When she spoke, she didn’t even turn to look at him, so Ye Chen knew she must be mad at him.

Ye Chen sighed and kept his mouth shut.

Not two minutes later, Zhang Yantong suddenly asked, “You and Li Ruo seem pretty close!”

“Huh?!” Ye Chen was stunned and awkwardly laughed, “She’s my female boss!”

“Is an office romance fun?” Zhang Yantong asked coldly.

“Don’t get the wrong idea, my relationship with Li Ruo is very ordinary.

She’s the president, and what am I!” Ye Chen hurriedly explained.

Zhang Yantong seemed surprised and, with a hint of a smile, asked, “Really?”

“Of course it’s true!” Ye Chen declared firmly.

In his heart, he had never taken what he called “pre-memory loss romance” seriously; Ye Chen saw it as just one of Li Ruo’s character’s games at night.

Zhang Yantong snorted and said, “Hmph, that’s none of my business anyway.

Whatever your relationship is with her, why should I care!

Really!”

Afterward, the police car arrived at the police station.

The man was escorted down by several male officers and locked in an interrogation room.

After cooperating with Zhang Yantong’s investigation, Ye Chen was released.

Zhang Yantong finished her investigation and ignored Ye Chen completely, treating him like an utter stranger.

This made Ye Chen feel incredibly awkward.

In the end, he had no choice but to hitch a ride back home to sleep.

…

Ye Chen spent the night restless and tossing and turning in bed, especially the words Li Ruo said to Ye Chen, the love before his memory loss.

If the memories came back, the two of them would have nothing to do with each other anymore.

This was something Ye Chen found hard to let go of.

Sometimes, Ye Chen found that he did have some feelings for Li Ruo, as if there was a thin, transparent veil shrouding between them.

Just one step forward, and it would tear.

“Ah, I wonder if tomorrow Li Ruo will still remember what she said today?” Ye Chen sighed and then closed his eyes to start counting stars.

The next morning, Ye Chen was rudely awoken by the ringing of his phone.

It was Xiao Er; this guy was pretty cunning.

Ye Chen answered the call and heard frantic shouting, “Brother Chen, something terrible’s happened; Zhi Xiao’s been beaten up, you’ve got to come quick!”

“F*ck, where are you at!” Ye Chen was shocked, leaping up from the bed.

“At the casino, a whole bunch of people rushed in and started thrashing our place, hitting people too!” Xiao Er shouted.

Without another word, Ye Chen dressed quickly and rushed out, driving his little Oto furiously, its engine roaring, the exhaust spewing black smoke.

Ye Chen clenched his teeth; Feng Zhixiao was in trouble, and that worried him immensely.

Before long, the little Oto finally reached University City.

Outside University City, business was still booming, but it was obvious that in front of one hotpot restaurant stood two men in tank tops, both broad and menacing—not good people by their looks.

The car hadn’t even stopped completely when Ye Chen confidently pulled the handbrake, leaving a black trail on the ground.

“What are you doing, you can’t go in there!” The two men at the entrance yelled at Ye Chen.

“I…

I just want to take a look inside!” Ye Chen put on a smile, as there’s a saying that you don’t hit a smiling face.

However, the two men didn’t know that behind Ye Chen’s smile lay a hidden blade.

As soon as Ye Chen spoke, he swung his fist, knocking one down within the blink of an eye, and the other was stunned.

But by the time he reacted, Ye Chen’s leg had already greeted him fiercely.
