Chang Jing gave him a cold look, knowing that the other party was up to no good, and said in a calm tone, "Please move aside."
"Hey, this kid's pretty arrogant! You just angered Young Master Li, so we've come to settle the score!"
Bai Mei frowned, thinking to herself that Li Wenxiang was truly a persistent ghost.
Chang Jing shielded Bai Mei behind him and said calmly, "The Young Master Li you're referring to, you mean Li Wenxiang, right? Did he send you to cause trouble?"
"Look at you, not guilty at all. You hurt Young Master Li's hand earlier, so now we're here to break one of your hands. It's fair. If you know what's good for you, just stand there and let us beat you up so we can settle things."
The others also gathered around, laughing arrogantly.
Chang Jing sneered; dealing with these frivolous thugs was no problem for him at all.
"Everyone, I advise you not to cause trouble here!" Chang Jing stood firmly in place, without backing down at all.
"Kid, we're here to avenge Young Master Li! Enough talk, let's go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several people rushed forward, intending to punch and kick Chang Jing.
Chang Jing quickly pulled Bai Mei into his arms while fending off the chaotic attacks.
As several thugs kept rushing up to attack Chang Jing, Chang Jing protected Bai Mei while tirelessly parrying and deflecting their clumsy punches and kicks.
Because they were at a meeting, Chang Jing couldn't afford to hurt anyone too badly; he just wanted to protect Bai Mei and push the thugs away.
Bai Mei was stunned by Chang Jing's skills. She hadn't expected Chang Jing to use various techniques so skillfully, not only remaining unharmed himself but also keeping the attackers under control within a stable range.
Chang Jing's attacks were both swift and precise, always managing to distract his opponents and force them to fight each other.
In an instant, the sounds of punches, kicks, and groans rose and fell. Bai Mei involuntarily moved closer to Chang Jing, afraid of being hit by an accidental attack.
Miraculously, no matter how the thugs changed their tactics and launched surprise attacks, Chang Jing could always detect them immediately and then use an extremely clever posture to shield Bai Mei behind him while easily dodging the attacks himself.
Amidst Bai Mei's shock, she felt an overwhelming sense of security. Chang Jing's touch was both gentle and strong; the warmth of his strength seeped through her clothes and onto her skin, making her feel incredibly safe.
Chang Jing was like an insurmountable barrier, protecting her completely. Bai Mei knew that if she hadn't been there, Chang Jing wouldn't have been in such a passive position.
He was perfectly capable of subduing all of them, but he was unwilling to take any risk of hurting her.
Bai Mei felt a surge of warmth in her heart. Chang Jing had gone to such lengths to protect her, and this gesture deeply moved her. For the first time, she felt so directly how much Chang Jing cared for and valued her.
Although Chang Jing had always been polite and considerate to her, she had never imagined that he would go to such lengths to protect her in this way. Bai Mei's heart was in turmoil; besides being moved, she also felt an indescribable joy.
This joy stemmed from Chang Jing's tenderness, from the light shining in his eyes, and from the young man's persistence and care for her. Bai Mei felt that her feelings for Chang Jing seemed to have changed.
Chang Jing was unaware that Bai Mei had transformed into a love-struck individual in such a short time. Seeing that the time was right, he knocked down the troublemakers one by one.
