Chapter 83: Chapter 83: The Mastermind Finally Appears
The men in black didn’t charge at Wang Chenning and his companions. Instead, they rushed forward with a clear division of labor, mercilessly attacking the security guards and the other men in black who had been knocked down but had struggled back to their feet.
These men in black struck with incredible speed and viciousness. It was obvious they were professionals at this.
Amidst a torrent of agonizing screams, it took less than ten minutes for all the security guards and the men brought by the middle-aged man and the skinny guy to be lying on the floor.
When the security guards had come over to intervene, the middle-aged man and the skinny guy had stopped slapping each other.
But now, seeing that the guards and their own men had all been taken down, they went back to brawling with each other.
Ultimately, the skinny guy was brought down by a vicious groin kick from the middle-aged man. After taking another heavy slap to the face, he passed out.
The unconscious skinny guy was completely unrecognizable. His once-thin face was now swollen like a pig’s.
The middle-aged man had no energy left either. Beaten black and blue by his companion, he collapsed to the floor, gasping for air like an old ox.
As he lay there, utterly exhausted, his eyes fell upon the men in black standing to the side.
To think their opponents had so many bodyguards, all of them terrifyingly skilled. He knew this man and two women were no ordinary people; they were not someone he could afford to provoke. ’Just who in the world are they?’
Although the two of them were well-off, with assets exceeding a hundred million, in a place like Yandu, they were still considered nobodies.
They couldn’t afford to provoke the true big shots with powerful backing.
’Lust truly is a blade hanging over a man’s head. Today, we really messed with the wrong people.’
Just then, another group of people arrived.
Seeing who had arrived, the middle-aged man felt a renewed sense of hope.
’I wonder if Eldest Young Master Mo can handle them!’
"The man of the hour has finally arrived!" Luo Yuqing said to Wang Chenning with a smile after getting a clear look at the leader. "You’re up first."
The newcomer was none other than Mo Dawei, a suitor of Lin Jingyi. He had also been present at the scene the last time Wang Chenning got into a conflict with some people while at a KTV with a group of students.
Night Bar was one of Mo Dawei’s businesses. The bar had always done very well, and almost no one ever dared to cause trouble there.
But today, someone had not only caused a disturbance and injured two of his friends, but they had also beaten up his security guards. Mo Dawei was naturally furious and had stormed over with a large group of men.
"Who the hell are you?" Mo Dawei demanded with a cold expression, striding up to Wang Chenning and Zhao Xiao’an. "Don’t you know..."
The rest of his words caught in his throat.
He recognized Wang Chenning. He also recognized Zhao Xiao’an. His heart sank, and large beads of sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.
"Eldest Young Master Mo!" Wang Chenning said with a chuckle, cupping his hands in a mock greeting toward Mo Dawei. "The last time I saw you at Gold KTV, I didn’t recognize you. How unobservant of me!"
For a moment, Mo Dawei was at a loss for words.
Then, his eyes landed on Luo Yuqing, who was sitting off to the side, leisurely sipping her drink. He was stunned speechless all over again.
’The ones causing all this trouble at Night Bar tonight are *these* people?’ His legs nearly gave out from under him.
Mo Dawei knew Luo Yuqing and Zhao Xiao’an. More importantly, he knew exactly who they were.
He might have known *of* them, but he wasn’t qualified to associate with them. The gap in their social standing was just too vast.
It went without saying that the people who had just beaten down all his security guards were the bodyguards of Luo Yuqing and Zhao Xiao’an.
Moreover, Mo Dawei had a sinking feeling he knew exactly why they had come to cause trouble here today.
"Miss Luo, Miss Zhao!" Mo Dawei wiped the sweat from his forehead and stepped forward with a deferential bow. "Your Ladyships have graced Night Bar with your presence. My hospitality has been lacking, I hope you can forgive me!"
Luo Yuqing ignored Mo Dawei and continued to drink.
Zhao Xiao’an ignored him as well, remaining by Wang Chenning’s side.
Wang Chenning, however, was still smiling. "So, it seems I’m a nobody in Eldest Young Master Mo’s eyes. No wonder what happened at Gold KTV that day, happened."
"Eldest Young Master Wang, I don’t understand what you’re talking about!" Mo Dawei could only bite the bullet and feign ignorance. "This is the first time we’ve met."
"It’s fine if you don’t understand," Wang Chenning said with another smile. "I won’t spell it out for you. But I hope you figure it out soon."
Seeing that Mo Dawei had recognized her and Zhao Xiao’an, Luo Yuqing felt that the fun was over. It seemed the show she’d been hoping to watch was not going to happen.
She impatiently interrupted the exchange between Wang Chenning and Mo Dawei, then ordered the other onlookers to leave.
Mo Dawei quickly invited Luo Yuqing, Wang Chenning, and Zhao Xiao’an to a private room.
The commotion just now had been too great, and everyone’s attention was focused on them.
If the scene continued here, it would attract even more gossip.
"Fine," Luo Yuqing said, standing up. She motioned for Mo Dawei to lead the way, then ordered her men to bring along the middle-aged man and the skinny guy, who was just starting to regain consciousness.
After Mo Dawei led them to the most luxurious private room on the second floor, Luo Yuqing ordered the middle-aged man and the skinny guy—the ones who had harassed her—to kneel outside the door and not to get up without her permission.
The middle-aged man and the skinny guy glanced at Mo Dawei, but not daring to disobey, they obediently knelt at the entrance to the room.
Once inside the room, Luo Yuqing plopped down on a sofa and patted the cushion beside her, motioning for Zhao Xiao’an to join her.
Zhao Xiao’an shot Luo Yuqing an irritated glare but sat down next to her anyway.
Wang Chenning remained standing beside the two women.
Luo Yuqing had made quite a show of force today, bringing a large number of highly skilled fighters with her.
From the way her men in black had dismantled the security guards, Wang Chenning could tell that none of Luo Yuqing’s bodyguards were to be trifled with. This was especially true for one woman; her looks were plain and her figure was average, but she was more ferocious than any of the men, and every one of her strikes targeted a vital point.
If she had put any more force into her blows, her opponents would have ended up dead or crippled.
’If this group were to attack him all at once,’ Wang Chenning thought, ’beating them into submission would take considerable effort. He’d probably have to use a few special tricks, too.’
"You’ve been running with Li Mingchao’s crew, so you must know he’s had a terrible run of luck lately, right?" Luo Yuqing began, speaking of Li Mingchao’s downfall as if it were a trivial matter. "Perhaps you don’t know the details, so let me fill you in. This man here," she said, gesturing to Wang Chenning, "was once engaged to Yang Xiaofei. Li Mingchao wanted to marry Yang Xiaofei, so he made a move on him. But he never expected it to backfire so badly. He was the one who took the fall, and he ended up losing the Liyuan Clubhouse in the process. And you? You want to woo Lin Jingyi. You saw her getting close to him, assumed there was something going on, and decided to retaliate against him. Why are all of you cut from the same cloth?"
Luo Yuqing’s words made Mo Dawei’s heart pound with fear.
’So, she knew everything. She knew about the schemes he had been planning in secret.’
’If Luo Yuqing knew, then Wang Chenning must know, too. Even if he didn’t know before, he certainly knows now.’
’It’s over. It’s all over. How am I ever going to get out of this?’
