Chapter 573: Chapter 573

The neon lights of Manchester's nightlife shimmered incessantly, with bars, clubs, and various nightspots bustling with noise.

The psychedelic bar was no exception, as deafening music filled the entire dance floor.

In the dance area, multicolored neon lights flashed as groups of young men and women swayed rhythmically to the music, unleashing their passion.

"How do you like it, little brother?" Wei Ling asked with a smile.

Lin Chen chuckled, "It's quite nice, lots of beauties."

That's when a sweet-looking woman cast a coquettish glance at Lin Chen.

Her skin was smooth and soft, and her face was as delicate as a porcelain doll's.

Just as Lin Chen was about to respond, he noticed something strange in Wei Ling's expression.

Activating his X-ray vision, Lin Chen glanced between the legs of the beauty and was immediately flabbergasted.

"Damn, it's a transgender."

Lin Chen quickly lowered his head, pretending not to have seen.

Wei Ling, noticing Lin Chen's somewhat embarrassed look, paused, "Did you figure it out?"

Lin Chen nodded, "Wei Ling, that was mean of you not to tell me just now."

Filled with curiosity, Wei Ling eyed Lin Chen, "How did you see it?"

Lin Chen said with a gloomy face, "Of course, my discernment skills are exceptionally strong."

"Look at that one, and that one, and that one over there, they're all transgender, aren't they?" Lin Chen pointed out several glamorous beauties.

Wei Ling nodded in admiration, "You do have a good eye, little brother, they are all 'Lady in Red'."

'Lady in Red,' in T country, meant transgender, but this term was obviously more respectful.

At that moment, Lin Chen's gaze landed on a woman.

This woman was also extremely seductive, and at first glance, her beauty did not seem to give way to that of those 'Ladies in Red,' but after scanning her, Lin Chen found she was indeed a real woman.

Wei Ling saw that woman too, and her face subtly changed.

The woman also saw Wei Ling and Lin Chen, and approached with a beaming smile.

"Long time no see, Wei Ling," the seductive woman teased, glancing at Lin Chen by Wei Ling's side.

"Is this your man? When did Wei Ling start fancying pretty boys?" the seductive woman joked.

"Ah Jiao, saw an old friend?" At that moment, a burly man appeared behind the seductive woman, wrapping his arms around her waist and said with a chuckle.

Seeing the man, Wei Ling shuddered, her eyes tinged with a touch of sorrow.

Noticing Wei Ling's expression, Lin Chen's gaze narrowed slightly, as it was clear that this couple had once caused Wei Ling considerable pain.

"Wei Ling, I didn't expect to see you here," said the muscular brute, his face also turning somewhat awkward.

Then the woman called Ah Jiao kissed the burly man and said, "I'm sorry, Wei Ling, I stole your man back then. I had no choice; who can blame me for being more tempting than you?"

For some reason, seeing Wei Ling's sorrowful eyes gave Ah Jiao an inexplicable thrill.

Just then, Lin Chen leaned in and blurted out, "Wei Ling, who are these jerks?"

"Jerks, male and female?"

Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, both Ah Jiao and Ba Li's complexions turned ugly.

"Kid, what are you talking about?" said Ah Jiao coldly.

Lin Chen laughed, "With the way you look, you think he would choose you? Do you really believe it's because you're pretty or seductive? It's just for the money. I bet if you were penniless he'd dump you in an instant, believe it or not?"

"Kid, what are you saying?" Ah Jiao's face instantly became grim.

"Wei Ling, it's a good thing you didn't choose this jerk back then. Otherwise, how could we have met?" smiled Lin Chen.

Ah Jiao snorted coldly, "Kid, you're also with Wei Ling just for her money. What are you pretending for? My boyfriend is the Muay Thai champion of T country, who do you think you are?"

"So it's Ba Li. I watched that match; Ba Li was simply too awesome."

"Yeah, Ba Li is definitely my idol."

Whispers spread through the crowd, many eyes looking at Ba Li with awe.

Ah Jiao wore a smug look, snorting coldly, "Kid, now you know what a jerk is? My boyfriend's the boxing star everyone looks up to, how could you ever compare to him?"

"The Muay Thai champion? Don't make me laugh, if he's the Muay Thai champion, then I'm the King of Fighters. I could knock him out with just one move," laughed Lin Chen.

"Are you seeking death, kid?" Ba Li glared at Lin Chen with a dark look in his eyes.

Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Ba Li immediately got angry.

At this moment, Ah Jiao arrogantly said, "Did everyone see that? This kid is boasting that he can knock out my boyfriend, the boxing king Ba Li, with one punch."

"This kid is courting death, saying he can knock out Ba Li with a single punch."

"What a load of crap, does he think our Muay Thai is made of paper?"

Ignoring everyone's comments, Lin Chen remained indifferent, "So you disagree? Dare to give it a try?"

A vicious expression crossed Ba Li's face, "Kid, you're asking for it. Don't blame me then."

Indeed, just as Lin Chen had said, Ba Li liked Wei Ling, but at the time, Ba Li's family was very poor, which is why he ended up choosing Ah Jiao.

Compared to Wei Ling, Ah Jiao was as different as heaven and earth. Most importantly, this Ah Jiao was naturally narcissistic, always thinking she was the most beautiful woman in the world. In reality, in Ba Li's heart, Ah Jiao was nothing more than a plain jane.

It was for this reason that Ba Li devoted all his energy to his Muay Thai career and even achieved quite a bit of success.

Now things were different. He had become the boxing king, with endless money and power. Seeing Wei Ling still as beautiful as she was in the past stirred something in him the moment he saw her.

"Ba Li, don't!" Wei Ling was shocked hearing that Lin Chen wanted to challenge Ba Li.

Wei Ling knew how ferocious Ba Li was–he had practiced Muay Thai since he was young, and a single kick could break a thick tree. If Lin Chen fought him, it was tantamount to suicide.

Looking at Wei Ling affectionately, Ba Li said, "Wei Ling, I can let him off, but on one condition. You have to become my girlfriend."

"Ba Li, what nonsense are you talking about?" Ah Jiao's face changed drastically, from triumph to panic.

However, Ba Li completely ignored her, still staring at Wei Ling, "Wei Ling, do you know how much I've missed you, how much I love you? I can divorce Ah Jiao just to have you back."

Upon hearing Ba Li's words, Wei Ling's gaze was cold as she responded, "I'm sorry, Ba Li, but I already have a boyfriend. You should be good to Ah Jiao."

Rejected by Wei Ling, Ba Li still didn't give up, "Why bother, Wei Ling? I know you're the owner of this bar. Why should a woman work so hard? If you agree to be my woman, all that I have will be yours–luxury cars, designer watches, mansions, whatever you want, I'll buy for you."

But just then, Lin Chen coughed, "Kid, you're hitting on my girlfriend right in front of me. Believe it or not, I'll give you a pounding?"
