"The class monitor sent out a party notice, Lili, are you going?" Xu Chen stroked Wang Li's hair in his arms. These past two days, the two of them had been inseparable, almost arousing their parents' suspicions. Wang Li nuzzled against Xu Chen's chest. "I'll go. There won't be many more opportunities for parties in the future." The two looked at the messages and locations on their phones and headed towards their destination.
Upon reaching the bar entrance, class monitor Wei Tai saw the two walking hand-in-hand and exclaimed in surprise, a gossipy smile on his face: "I knew you two were up to something. Come on in, let's have a good drink tonight." Holding the gathering at his own bar was partly about saving face for Wei Tai, but his real purpose was Wang Li. Watching Xu Chen's retreating figure, Wei Tai muttered, "Xu Chen, don't blame me." He pulled out his phone to report, "Young Master Chen, that girl from the Wang family is here." Chen Yunhai was overjoyed upon hearing this and rushed to Xu Chen's bar. He had been eyeing Wang Li for a long time. Recently, his good friend Wei Tai had mentioned that Wang Li was getting close to a man. After some inquiries, Chen Yunhai learned that the man was Xu Chen, who had previously lost hundreds of thousands at his family's casino—a complete loser. How could he tolerate being robbed of his "private time" by a good-for-nothing? If Chen Mingyuan knew that his son, who had just returned from abroad, was so eager to provoke Xu Chen, he would definitely regret not having given Chen Yunhai some instructions.
Inside the private room, several male classmates were toasting Xu Chen repeatedly. After finishing his drink, Xu Chen looked at the female classmates around him, secretly thinking, "Something's not right. They all seem uneasy." Three male classmates noticed Xu Chen's hesitation. "Xu Chen, what's wrong? The girls can't drink, so we'll drink." They were thinking about their mission for the day: get Xu Chen drunk, collect their money, and leave. Xu Chen regained his composure, poured himself a large glass, and said, "Drink!" After several rounds of drinking, the male classmates became drowsy, and Xu Chen also pretended to be drowsy, lying on the sofa. Wang Li went over and patted Xu Chen's back, her face full of worry.
Suddenly, the door to the private room opened. Chen Yunhai and Wei Tai looked at Xu Chen and Wang Li, their faces lighting up with joy. "Li'er, long time no see." Chen Yunhai offered what he thought was a refined smile, but Wang Li's face turned pale. "It's you again. What are you doing here?" She looked at Chen Yunhai warily, then at Wei Tai, who had his head down. "You arranged this gathering today, didn't you?" Chen Yunhai's face suddenly turned ferocious. "Yes, I arranged it. I just wanted to see who, besides me, is qualified to be your boyfriend." He waved his hand, and the three men and three women, along with Wei Tai, left the room. He then walked step by step towards Wang Li, reaching out to forcibly embrace her. At this moment, Xu Chen stood up and stood between Wang Li and Chen Yunhai. Wang Li clung tightly to Xu Chen's arm. Seeing this, Chen Yunhai was furious. "Xu Chen, Xu Chen, you're a good-for-nothing who lost money gambling and can only rely on your sister to redeem you, how dare you..." "I stole your girlfriend!" Wang Li's face turned ashen. "I have nothing to do with you, Chen Yunhai, don't overestimate yourself!" Upon hearing this, Chen Yunhai swung his fist at Xu Chen. Xu Chen grabbed Chen Yunhai's fist and applied slight pressure. Chen Yunhai's face immediately turned pale, and sweat beaded on his forehead. "Xu Chen, let me go! Wei Tai, Wei Tai, call for backup!" Wei Tai, who was guarding the door of the private room, heard this and called several thugs. They entered the room, and Xu Chen immediately released Chen Yunhai's hand. Chen Yunhai rubbed his palm, a smug look on his face. It seemed this kid was scared. "Wei Tai, tell your men to beat this kid up. Don't hurt Wang Li." Wang Li was furious upon hearing this. "Chen Yunhai, how dare you!" Xu Chen patted Wang Li's hand, signaling her to relax. In an instant, several fists came flying at Xu Chen. Xu Chen blocked, lightly kicking, one, two, three, four, and the four thugs were sent flying. Fighting ordinary people was incredibly easy for him. Wei Tai's expression changed, and he picked up the walkie-talkie to call for backup.
At this moment, Wei Bancheng walked into the private room. His son, Wei Tai, had asked him to book a private room to entertain friends, and he was there to give his son face. Pushing open the door, he saw the mess on the floor and looked at everyone in the room. He was stunned for a moment. Chen Yunhai, standing next to Wei Bancheng, pointed at Xu Chen with a face full of resentment and said, "Uncle Wei, teach him a lesson! He did all this." Wei Bancheng's face darkened, and he walked towards Xu Chen. "This young man has quite the skills." Xu Chen was a heavy drinker. He picked up the white wine on the table, poured himself another glass, and drank it all in one gulp. He looked at Wei Bancheng and asked, "Who are you?" Wei Bancheng introduced himself, "I am Wei Bancheng, the owner of this bar. Young man, you should give me an explanation for what happened here." He then waved his hand, and a dozen or so men who had been observing through the crack in the door entered and stood there. Wang Li wanted to call home at this moment, but Wei Bancheng signaled one of his men to snatch her phone away. Xu Chen sat down and drank, pulling Wang Li onto his lap, and looked at Wei Bancheng leisurely: "I wonder what kind of explanation Boss Wei wants me to give you? These people are no match for you." "Wei Bancheng was furious. Chen Yunhai shouted from the side, "Xu Chen, don't be so arrogant." Upon hearing this, Wei Bancheng realized he had forgotten to ask the name. "Xu Chen, isn't that the ruthless guy who made Chen Mingyuan from Huayang suffer? Is it the same person?" Wei Bancheng thought to himself. He hurriedly asked Xu Chen, "May I ask, young brother, are you and my Wei Tai classmates?" Xu Chen nodded. Wei Bancheng's face turned extremely ugly. He looked at the arrogant Chen Yunhai, then at Wei Tai, feeling a surge of anger. He raised his hand... The confidant understood his meaning. Wei Bancheng took the membership card from his confidant and handed it to Xu Chen, saying, "Young Master Chen, consider this an apology." Xu Chen seemed thoughtful, took the card and put it in his pocket. He then gave Wei Bancheng a deep look, remembering something, and asked, "Is Boss Wei's wife named Liu Yan?" Wei Bancheng was taken aback. "Yes, Young Master Chen knows my wife?" Xu Chen waved his hand. "No, Lili, let's go." At this moment, Wang Li took the stolen phone and walked out of the private room with Xu Chen. Inside the private room, Chen Yunhai and his group were astonished. "Uncle Wei, why did you let him go?" Wei Bancheng remembered Xu Chen's question and felt puzzled, but then dismissed it. He looked at his son's good friend again. "Go back and ask your father." He led Wei Tai out of the private room.
