Chapter 272: Who Hit You?

Chapter 272: Chapter 272: Who Hit You?

"Boom—"

With a muffled sound, no one, including Kong Qi himself, could comprehend what had just happened.

But then, they saw Kong Qi suddenly soaring into the air, while Chu Ge had appeared where Kong Qi had been standing moments before, slowly bending down to pick up a wine glass from the table.

Kong Qi felt as if his chest had been struck by a locomotive, faintly hearing the sound of his bones shattering within, followed by a disorienting sense of weightlessness and a piercing pain that nearly knocked him unconscious.

Everyone was stunned, witnessing the strong man smashing through the ceiling and then crashing down to the ground, then looking at the tall and slender Chu Ge not far from the strong man, finding it hard to believe that such power could erupt from such a young man!

The incident here naturally alarmed Xiahou Wudao and Duan Shaojie, who were some distance away. Of course, a few security guards wielding rubber batons also hurried over.

There were no security guards at the entrance of the bar, a sign of confidence, for there was bound to be some people inside to maintain order.

However, just as those security guards were preparing to run over and subdue both parties, Xiahou Wudao whispered a few words into Duan Shaojie’s ear, which made Duan Shaojie pause and then quickly waved at the guards: "Everyone go back, I’ll handle this."

The guards exchanged glances, confusion on their faces, but they each returned to their stations.

"I only said I wanted one of your hands, one of your legs, right? Wouldn’t it have been nice to just agree earlier? Look now, I reckon your entire lower body is paralyzed," Chu Ge said as he crouched in front of Kong Qi, shaking his head and clicking his tongue in lament.

"Ugh—" Kong Qi struggled to lift his head, seemingly wanting to say something, but instead, a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out.

It was not just his spine that had broken, but his ribs likely were nearly all snapped as well.

"You... so you’re this powerful?" Sun Jianuo realized what had happened, although saying that wasn’t quite accurate, because from the beginning to the end, she hadn’t seen clearly how Chu Ge had made his move. There was just a loud bang, and then the previously arrogant Kong Qi was lying flat on the ground.

"Clap clap clap clap—"

A clear round of applause resonated, and Duan Shaojie and Xiahou Wudao slowly approached.

Duan Shaojie looked at Chu Ge with a complex expression in his eyes that was filled with awe, envy, and a bit of ingratiating hesitation, but devoid of resentment.

It seems, somewhat different from my expectation... Chu Ge sneered inwardly.

"I’ve damaged the ceiling of your bar, I really apologize for that." Since the host was smiling warmly, Chu Ge naturally wouldn’t respond rudely, smiling apologetically as he spoke casually.

"No no no, not at all," Duan Shaojie waved his hands repeatedly, shaking his head with a smile: "Having the opportunity to witness Mr. Chu’s skills, it doesn’t matter if it’s just a small part of the ceiling, even if the whole bar was taken apart, what of it?"

Faced with Duan Shaojie’s remarks, Chu Ge was momentarily puzzled.

Although it wasn’t I who killed Mr. Duan, his death was undoubtedly inseparable from me, and in addition, the various losses suffered by the Duan Family lately seem to be all instigated by me.

Normally, this kid should be gnashing his teeth in anger. Or perhaps, he is like a venomous snake that only reveals its poisonous fangs when biting its prey?

However, Chu Ge only briefly pondered this before tossing the idea aside.

Once he obtains the Jade Pendant, he will leave Shanghai. When he achieves the Innate Realm, let alone any conspiracy or deceit, those petty and hypocritical men—anyone who troubles him will simply be blown away with one punch! In the face of absolute power, all schemes will crumble instantly.

But just as Duan Shaojie was about to say something more, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

Glancing at the name on the screen, his brow furrowed, and his expression grew uglier. He forced a smile at Chu Ge: "Mr. Chu, please continue enjoying yourself. I’ll take care of this person. I have something to deal with and will be back to chat more later!"

"Please do," replied Chu Ge with just these two words before taking a seat on the sofa, while Xiahou Wudao then took a seat beside him.

At this moment, Sun Jianuo also sensed that something was amiss. She glanced at Chu Ge, then at Kong Qi, who was lying motionless on the ground. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to leave first.

Chu Ge watched her departing figure and didn’t pay further attention; she clearly was just an ordinary woman with nothing special about her. Although she could be considered beautiful in the eyes of the general public, for Chu Ge, who was accustomed to seeing stunning beauties like Mu Bingtong and Nangong Man Sha, she barely made the grade.

"What, are you interested in her?" Xiahou Wudao also glanced at Sun Jianuo’s retreating figure and teased, "Has your taste sunk so low?"

"A chance encounter with a stranger, just a random meeting, on par with a passerby," Chu Ge indifferently remarked.

Seeing Chu Ge’s demeanor, Xiahou Wudao didn’t continue on this topic and instead asked, "What do you think about that Duan Shaojie?"

"That’s exactly what I was about to ask you," Chu Ge replied as he looked at Xiahou Wudao. "Speaking of which, Duan Shaojie should be harboring resentment towards me. What were you just talking to him about?"

"It wasn’t my conversation with him that mattered, but rather his own issues," Xiahou Wudao took a sip of his drink, then added, "Hmm, issues internal to the Duan Family."

After that, neither of them spoke for a while. Soon, some staff came over to clean up all the shattered glass and quickly replaced the chandelier. The throbbing music and the dancing crowd in the bar resumed once again.

What Chu Ge didn’t expect, however, was for Sun Jianuo to return after just a few minutes. When she saw Chu Ge looking at her, she appeared a bit embarrassed, "I forgot my phone."

After saying that, she picked up her phone from the sofa, but she didn’t rush to leave. Instead, she sat down opposite Chu Ge, "You shouldn’t have hurt him so badly!"

She had just seen Kong Qi being dragged out; unless something unexpected happened, he would probably spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

"Of course, I don’t mean anything by it," Sun Jianuo quickly waved her hands before Chu Ge could respond, explaining, "That bastard deserves it even if he were beaten to death. I just want to say, that scumbag seems to have powerful backers. You’ve injured him so severely, there might be trouble. It would probably be best not to come to bars like this for a while."

"Thank you for the advice," Chu Ge looked at her and showed a mild smile.

He has always welcomed goodwill from others, no matter how trivial.

However, at this moment, a man in a suit suddenly came over, his voice shrill, "Who was it that just beat Kong Qi to that state?"
