"Aren't you afraid of them, but not me?" Zhao Zhuowen saw only indifference on Lin Chen's face, which enraged him. "Aren't you curious about my identity?"
"What kind of person could someone who hangs out with scum like Wu Yifan and Che Yulin be?" Lin Chen said disdainfully.
"You...you are not allowed to compare me to them!"
Although Zhao Zhuowen is also from a wealthy family, he considers himself far superior to Wu Yifan and Che Yulin. Those two are utterly worthless! Ignoring their family backgrounds, they're just complete good-for-nothings!
Zhao Zhuowen, after all, had attended a military academy, served as an officer, and even won the provincial fighting championship!
Aside from being a bit of a gambler, he has no flaws! How did he end up being grouped with those two scoundrels?
"Kid, after I learned your information, I thought you were just an ordinary kid. But I didn't expect you to be so smart, and you seem to be quite good at fighting too. And you're quite popular with women. Unlike Wu Yifan, who relies on 'technology,' what do you rely on? Don't tell me it's charm," Zhao Zhuowen asked.
He had already sent someone to check Lin Chen's information, and after reading it, he was quite surprised by Lin Chen.
This guy was an orphan from a welfare home. He studied at an ordinary high school in the county for a little over a month and scored over 700 points on the college entrance exam!
Moreover, he is currently the largest shareholder of a sizable entertainment and performing arts company!
He also won the heart of Ning Jiaqi, a super-official's son, and the recently popular internet celebrity "Tian Tian Butian" is also his classmate and even his "rumored girlfriend"!
Moreover, Zhao Zhuowen had personally witnessed his astonishing fighting prowess today.
However, it seems that there were still omissions in the investigation information he obtained. And Zhao Zhuowen's biggest omission was that he did not know the identity of Lin Chen, the eldest son of a "billion-dollar family".
"Perhaps I really do possess an indescribable charm." Lin Chen shrugged helplessly, a self-deprecating smile on his lips.
"Shut up!" Zhao Zhuowen was too lazy to waste any more words with Lin Chen. Before he finished speaking, his fist was already as fast as lightning, heading straight for Lin Chen.
However, Lin Chen had already anticipated Zhao Zhuowen's attack.
He smiled slightly, as if everything was under his control. His strengths lay not in close combat, but in his extraordinary predictive abilities and ranged attacks. Therefore, just as Zhao Zhuowen's fist was about to touch him, Lin Chen's hands had already silently prepared their stance, effortlessly dodging the attack!
Next, Lin Chen chose to defend and counterattack. He instantly activated the mysterious qigong within his body, and an invisible wall of air suddenly appeared, forcefully repelling Zhao Zhuowen back!
Zhao Zhuowen's face instantly turned extremely ugly. He felt an unprecedented sense of oppression and Lin Chen's terrifying power. He tried to break free, but found himself firmly bound by that unseen, invisible force, unable to move!
Before this, Zhao Zhuowen had always been confident in his abilities, but now he had to re-evaluate the man in front of him.
Finally, Lin Chen released Zhao Zhuowen. Zhao Zhuowen gasped for breath; the oppressive and suffocating feeling had almost killed him. He stared at Lin Chen in astonishment, his heart filled with doubt and shock.
"What kind of kung fu are you practicing? How can it be so strange?" Zhao Zhuowen couldn't help but ask. He had clearly launched a surprise attack, yet he couldn't harm Lin Chen in the slightest; instead, he himself was controlled by an invisible pressure!
"Strange? Perhaps you should call it Chinese Qigong," Lin Chen said proudly, his tone full of confidence.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhuowen felt a surge of intense urge to immediately pin Lin Chen to the ground and beat him up. However, he then recalled the contents of Lin Chen's words and began to waver.
"Qigong? Who are you kidding? There's no such thing," Zhao Zhuowen said, but his voice trembled slightly, clearly indicating that his heart was not as firm as it appeared.
"Don't question things if you haven't truly experienced them. Otherwise, you'll just look like a frog in a well," Lin Chen said calmly, his tone conveying an undeniable authority.
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Zhao Zhuowen was dumbfounded. Looking into Lin Chen's eyes, the information he had seen about Lin Chen flashed through his mind. This seemingly ordinary man actually possessed such terrifying strength? How could he possibly accept this!
"Who are you calling a frog in a well!" Zhao Zhuowen couldn't help but say.
He thought about how much blood and sweat he had endured during training, even teetering on the brink of life and death to hone his skills, only to be defeated by Lin Chen, this seemingly effortless guy, with so-called "qi gong"? How could he bear this!
If what Lin Chen said was true, then just how much power did this person possess? Zhao Zhuowen couldn't help but shudder. His fear and curiosity about this unknown territory were intertwined, making him feel both excited and uneasy.
"Why don't you... join me? I'll protect you from now on. You should know that the Zhao family is a force to be reckoned with in Haizhou City!" Zhao Zhuowen tried to use his family's influence to attract Lin Chen to join him.
However, Lin Chen simply replied, "No matter what your background is, I won't go. Don't even think about it."
His answer was concise and decisive, instantly extinguishing Zhao Zhuowen's little scheme.
"No matter how powerful you are, are you as powerful as the Lin family?" Lin Chen added, his words like a bomb, leaving Zhao Zhuowen speechless.
"The Lin family?" Zhao Zhuowen's heart trembled. The Lin family was indeed one of the few families that could rival the Zhao family. More importantly, he had a secret emotional entanglement with the eldest daughter of the Lin family, Lin Ruoyue.
Lin Chen watched Zhao Zhuowen's changing expression and couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. He naturally knew Zhao Zhuowen's feelings for Lin Ruoyue and understood that this was the main reason he rejected Zhao Zhuowen.
Otherwise, having such a powerful background would only be of great benefit to Lin Chen.
However, Zhao Zhuowen had no idea what Lin Chen meant by suddenly mentioning the Lin family, let alone that Lin Chen was the eldest son of the "billion-dollar Lin family." This was because Zhao Zhuowen knew the eldest son of the Lin family as a "top-tier weakling," bullied by everyone, and disliked by the entire family.
Therefore, he would never associate the "freakish monster" in front of him with that weakling.
Nevertheless, Zhao Zhuowen did not give up. He was preoccupied with how to bring this unprecedentedly powerful expert into his own territory. So he quickly came up with an idea.
"Come on, I'll take you somewhere," Zhao Zhuowen said eagerly.
"No time? Don't you even know what time it is? Aren't you sleepy? Don't you have to go to work tomorrow?" Lin Chen asked the most direct question.
"Go to work? Hahaha!" Zhao Zhuowen hadn't expected Lin Chen to ask such a ridiculous question. He patted Lin Chen on the shoulder and said, "Brother, if you follow me, you'll never have to work again for the rest of your life! In fact, everyone else will only work for you! Think about it?"
However, Lin Chen ignored him and turned to leave. Zhao Zhuowen quickly stopped him. "Come with me to a place. If you're still not interested when we get there, then I won't bother you anymore!"
This time, Lin Chen didn't refuse. He was also curious about what Zhao Zhuowen wanted to use to win him over. Although it was already two in the morning, since it was so late, he decided to go with Zhao Zhuowen to take a look.
They finally arrived at their destination an hour later. It was located on the outskirts of the city, with the entrance hidden deep within a grove of trees. Even in daylight, let alone at night, they might not be able to find it!
More importantly, the entire area is surrounded by barbed wire! There are even guard posts and roadblocks at the entrance!
Is it really necessary to be this high-end?
Zhao Zhuowen's car passed through the guard post and roadblocks without incident. After getting out of the car, he walked to the entrance of a hidden door, where the guard simply checked his identification and let him through.
However, Zhao Zhuowen led Lin Chen into the interior of the place.
Once inside, Lin Chen's eyes were truly opened. He genuinely hadn't considered what a sufficiently powerful person could possess!
Money? House? Car? Woman? These are all too low-level.
Zhao Zhuowen didn't waste any words and took Lin Chen directly to their destination—the underground training ground.
In the darkness, nothing could be seen, but the moment Zhao Zhuowen turned on the light, a dazzling array of firearms appeared before Lin Chen's eyes!
