It wasn't until Fu Chengyu heard the sounds of a body hitting the ground and screams coming from the arena that he frowned and glanced impatiently at the stage.
These were all boxers he had invited, and the outcome had already been agreed upon. The two of them could just go up and have a casual fight to get it over with. Anyway, even if someone said it was a fixed match, it would only damage the Ye family's reputation, and it would have nothing to do with Fu Chengyu.
But with such a big commotion, it wouldn't be good if someone got seriously injured or broken; the Ye family might notice something amiss.
Fu Chengyu was just desperate to make a quick buck after losing so much money, and didn't want to break ties with the Ye family.
He only needed to look up once to realize that something was wrong.
Number 19 was indeed someone he invited, but Number 3, who was wearing a mask, was not one of his people at all!
He stared at the figures of Number Three and Number Nineteen facing off in the ring, his breathing becoming rapid.
Could it be that a fake has met the real deal?
Damn it, this number three hasn't fought in almost ten years, so why did he suddenly appear at this crucial moment?
Number three is slender, and although the muscle lines under her clothes are smooth and clear when she exerts force, it is obvious to anyone with eyes that she is a girl.
Moreover, she was smaller than number 19 on the other side, both in terms of frame and height.
Although Ruan Chen covered her face, every move she made exuded a powerful beauty. In addition, the legend of number three from ten years ago quickly spread throughout the entire Qingye Bar, and the name of Bai Xingdi from back then began to be chanted in unison below, as if to cheer for her.
Ruan Chen slightly turned his body, easily dodging the punch, and then kicked Number Nineteen in the knee joint, producing a tooth-grinding sound of bone grinding.
These people who dare to throw matches at the Ye family's venue should be prepared to pay the price.
Therefore, every punch Ruan Chen threw landed solidly, without any hesitation.
Fu Chengyu didn't have time to think about why Number Three, who hadn't appeared in ten years, would show up at this time. He rushed to the betting counter, grabbed the staff member by the collar, and shouted, "Can't I withdraw my bet now?!"
Immediately, a security guard separated him from the counter and said to him in an unfriendly tone, "Sir, please just tell us what you need. Please do not lay a hand on our employees."
The young lady behind the counter loathed Fu Chengyu's affected manner and knew he was a rich young master who was blinded by gambling.
But she still smiled kindly, revealing her perfect eight teeth, straightened her collar, shook her head, and said apologetically, "No, sir."
Tao Ran has already secretly informed them of what Fu Chengyu did tonight.
Ye Zian usually treats his bar employees very well, with top-notch treatment, benefits, and salaries in Jingzhou. Therefore, they don't mind seeing how miserable the people who come to Ye's place to plot against them will be.
Fu Chengyu wanted to argue further, but with a crisp ringing of a bell on the stage, the referee raised number three's hand high and announced to everyone the winner of the night.
"Mr. Fu, is that right?" the counter staff member reminded him kindly, as if deliberately adding insult to injury. "You lost this round; your bet was twelve million. By the way, I see you're a regular customer here. Would you like me to calculate your total gambling balance at our casino?"
Fu Chengyu seems to be numb to money now. Losing another twelve million only made his heart race for a moment before he recovered in the blink of an eye. He started thinking about how to win back the money in the next round.
He found seven out-of-town boxers tonight, and he's already used one of them, impersonating number nineteen. That means he has six available fighters left. He needs to find a quiet place to review the boxers' information at Qingye Bar.
In the next round, if he can control the outcome, he can win the money back.
As Ruan Chen stepped off the stage, Tao Ran was already waiting backstage. Upon seeing her, he began to chatter on and on, "Ruan Chen, you people who save the earth have quite high physical requirements."
The staff had already prepared a changing room for Ruan Chen, the same one that had been exclusively hers all those years ago.
Ruan Chen walked behind the screen by himself, changed into the bathrobe that Qingye Bar had specially provided for the boxers, and prepared to take a shower.
“That’s right,” she said, taking off her sweat-soaked coat and casually tossing it aside. Her white bathrobe clung to her graceful figure, and she kept talking, joining Tao Ran in his rambling, “Otherwise, how could you have blasted away the bully who came to occupy Blue Star with just one punch?”
There are quite a few flaws in this sentence. Given Tao Ran's personality, she would probably immediately pick up on Ruan Chen's joke.
But Tao Ran remained silent.
Ruan Chen tiptoed and peered out through the screen.
Then she met the man's eyes, which were filled with shock, helplessness, confusion, and shock.
"Xiao Bai?...Ruan Chen??!"
Actually, it was Tao Ran's fault. He was so focused on making jokes with Ruan Chen that he didn't notice Ye Zi'an walking over.
Ye Zi'an personally took a bottle of champagne, wanting to have a good talk with Bai Xingdi, who had been silent for ten years and then helped him solve a big problem, to express his gratitude.
Emperor Bai Xing disappeared for a very long time, a full ten years.
A few years ago, Ye Zian encountered some out-of-towners who came to cause trouble. At that time, the first person he thought of was Bai Xingdi, but he couldn't find any information about him from Tao Ran or other friends in the underworld. It seemed that this person was just a flash in the pan and disappeared in a hurry.
If he hadn't shown up today, Ye Zihan would have almost thought he was dead.
So when he finished discussing business with his clients and heard his subordinates report on the day's events, his first reaction wasn't to confront Fu Chengyu, but rather to find a way to retain Bai Xingdi, this talented individual.
Ruan Chen pulled her bathrobe tightly around her neck and crouched down awkwardly against the screen.
Two minutes later, in the locker room.
Ye Zian, Tao Ran, and Ruan Chen sat awkwardly side by side.
"Second Uncle, actually, that person wasn't me back then," Ruan Chen said, his hands hidden inside his bathrobe, clutching the loose thread tightly. "I just had to bite the bullet today. Brother Tao Ran told me that Fu Chengyu was coming to cause trouble..."
"Alright, alright, stop making things up." Ye Zian rubbed his temples and sighed. "Your uncle isn't a blind fool. I've seen the video of the boxing match from ten years ago, and it's exactly the same style you're using today—style is something that's unique to everyone and hard to change."
"Um, about my mom..."
“I don’t want Huanhuan to know even more than you do,” Ye Zi said, glaring at Tao Ran with a hint of annoyance. “Ruan Chen was just a child back then and didn’t know what was important. Didn’t you know what was important either? Just letting her do whatever she wanted? I’ve already found out that you were the one who brought him his identity information when he registered.”
Tao Ran was very well-behaved in front of Ye Zi'an, not uttering a sound, but kicked Ruan Chen from below for help.
Ruan Chen coughed and immediately started a new topic.
"Second Uncle, how far has Fu Chengyu gone with himself?"
