"Damn it... Er Gou and the others are really smart. They ran away as soon as they saw things were going wrong. Only people like us who are reluctant to give up our bonuses would get beaten up like this. Now... we'll probably have to pay for our own medical bills!"

The wailing was making Luo Chen and the others dizzy. After exchanging glances, Luo Chen suggested, "How about... we go somewhere else? Fang Xue and Luo Luo have already been rescued. Let's go back to the mall and buy the New Year's goods we didn't finish, okay?"

"Yay! I haven't bought my foundation yet, Luo Chen, I want to buy foundation!"

Fang Xue clung to Luo Chen's arm, clinging to him tightly and refusing to get down.

If the people of Ningcheng saw this scene, their eyes would probably pop out of their sockets.

Who has ever seen Fang Xue, who is as proud and goddess-like as she is, be so clingy?

Even if you beat them to death, they still won't believe you!

"Okay, okay, I'll buy you anything."

Luo Chen looked at Fang Xue with doting eyes. As long as Fang Xue was happy, he didn't care about spending his money.

"Hey, you big idiot, this time we've caused quite a stir. Have you thought about how you're going to clean this up?"

Yan Yan leaned close to Langya mysteriously and whispered in his ear, "As the saying goes, it's easy to cause trouble, but hard to clean it up. Should we leave this cleanup to the professionals?"

"Finishing things up? Why do we need to finish things up?"

Wolf Fang sneered, looking at Yan Yan as if he were an idiot. "There's no need to clean up this kind of scene. Just leave them here and ignore them. They'll leave on their own. Even if the police are called in the end, a bunch of idle people fighting here, let alone whether the police will trace it back to us, even if they do, will they really get away with it?"

"It's almost Chinese New Year, and at this critical juncture, if something happens, all these thugs will be in jail. Spending the New Year in jail? That would be too miserable. Don't worry, everyone will think it's better to avoid trouble, and no one will call the police."

After listening, Yan Yan's eyes widened in sudden realization, and he agreed, "That's right! They're just idle people. Even if a few of them are stubborn enough to call the police, who would believe that a group of people were beaten up by two people? There are no security cameras here... They'll most likely be arrested by the police for affray, right? The police station can also use this as an opportunity to meet its year-end targets..."

"Your brain has finally come to its senses."

Wolf Fang sighed, somewhat relieved.

"What do you mean? You big idiot!"

Yan Yan spat, then turned his head and said something inexplicably:

"You all see, this is what happens when you don't study properly and insist on fighting with others. We live in a society governed by law now, and the gangster mentality is no longer popular. Students should study hard and not think about fighting all day long. Otherwise, if you get beaten up outside, you won't even get a fair trial. It will just be used as the police station's year-end performance score and easily dismissed."

"?"

Wolf Fang and Tang Cheng looked at Yan Yan with confusion and asked, "Who are you talking to?"

"Huh! Who am I talking to?!"

Yan Yan seemed to wake up suddenly from a dream, scratched his head, looked around, and said, "Strange... why did I suddenly say those things?"

"Neuropathy."

Wolf Fang shook his head and moved further away from Yan Yan, to prevent Yan Yan from catching his mental illness. At the same time, Wolf Fang reminded him, "Hey, Tang Cheng, you'd better stay away from him too. You know, mental illness is contagious!"

Tang Cheng nodded in deep agreement and was about to walk away when Yan Yan grabbed her wrist. Tang Cheng turned around and saw Yan Yan yelling at Lang Ya, "Get lost! You can't say anything nice!"

"Hehehehe..."

Wolf Fang grinned maliciously and made a gesture at Yan Yan.

He looks like a dog.

"What a pair of clowns!"

Luo Chen held Fang Xue's small hand, and Fang Xue held Luo Luo's hand. The three of them looked at the other three and clicked their tongues in amazement.

The entire alley was instantly filled with a harmonious and warm atmosphere.

"I say... haven't you forgotten something?"

A sinister voice, filled with boundless rage, rang out from behind the crowd.

Everyone turned around in confusion, and when they saw Cao Wei enraged, they all realized what was going on.

"Oh, you're still here. I thought you had already left."

Luo Chen spoke with considerable surprise, his face showing astonishment.

"..."

Cao Wei angrily threw it down, thinking, "Am I really that invisible?!"

"Heh, don't think you've won!"

Cao Wei stood up from the ground and slowly backed away, saying, "Just a friendly reminder: I always do things meticulously, leaving no room for any hidden dangers. How could I not have a backup plan?"

"Luo Chen, make a phone call to your girlfriends. Hehe, if nothing unexpected happens, they... should have met with an accident."

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen quickly took out his phone from his pocket and dialed Zhao Meng'er and the others one by one. The more he dialed, the uglier his expression became. Finally, after dialing twice without anyone answering, Luo Chen's face darkened.

"What... exactly did you do?"

Luo Chen gently put the phone back, looked directly into Cao Wei's eyes, and asked calmly.

"Luo Chen, you..."

Wolf Fang, who was standing to the side, wanted to say something, but Yan Yan grabbed his hand. Wolf Fang turned around in confusion and saw Yan Yan with a solemn expression, slowly shaking his head.

Yan Yan has very high emotional intelligence, extremely high. He is the most perceptive person when it comes to reading people's expressions and moods.

At this moment, in Yan Yan's eyes, the Luo Chen he saw was no longer Luo Chen.

Instead, it was a... Azure Dragon, whose scales had been touched and which was so enraged that it was about to devour the heavens and the earth!

"It looks impressive, but unfortunately, it doesn't scare me."

Cao Wei sneered, raised a hand to support his chin, smiled playfully, and said, "What, feeling angry now? Heh, karma is a karmic cycle, and retribution is inevitable. Now, it's your turn to taste the bitterness of loss!"

Luo Chen's performance was exactly what Cao Wei wanted!

As long as he can provoke Luo Chen and stall until the Tianjin Guards arrive, Ye Feng's plan can still proceed!

To complete Ye Feng's plan, Cao Wei was willing to risk his own life.

So what if he dies? Cao Wei isn't afraid at all!

"What exactly did you do?!"

Luo Chen moved. Fueled by anger, he moved incredibly fast!

So fast... even Yan Yan and Lang Ya beside him couldn't see Luo Chen's movements!

It's like a leopard spotting its prey, opening its gaping maw, about to tear the prey apart!
