Chapter 675: Chapter 675
Lin Chen took off his coat and stood in front of Hei Ta.
"Hei Ta, I advise you not to challenge Minister Lin. You'll regret it," Ji Mi, who got along with Hei Ta, advised at this time.
"Humph, just the president's husband, right? If he has no real skill, even if he was the president's dad, I would still beat him without hesitation," Hei Ta snorted coldly.
"That's not what I mean. I'm worried you'll get hurt," Ji Mi said warily, glancing at Lin Chen.
Hei Ta looked at Lin Chen's slender appearance and mocked, "Just look at his thin arms and legs, I could handle him with just one hand.
Hearing Hei Ta's arrogant words, Lin Chen smiled, "Really? To deal with someone like you, a big bulky guy, I don't even need to use my hands or feet.
"What?" When they heard Lin Chen's words, everyone was shocked.
Lin Chen was formidable, no doubt, but Hei Ta was also no pushover.
With Lin Chen's strength, a normal fight would definitely be no problem, but to say he wouldn't even use his hands or feet, how was this fight going to proceed?
The security guards were all somewhat worried, thinking that Lin Chen might be taking things too lightly.
Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Hei Ta's face suddenly turned cold, "You're looking down on me?"
Lin Chen smiled at Hei Ta, "Taking you on in a fight is already giving you a lot of respect."
"Good, I want to see how you're going to fight me without using your hands or feet," a fierce look appeared on Hei Ta's face.
Su Ha watched this scene with a cold smile in his eyes.
Originally, he hadn't thought that Hei Ta could beat Lin Chen—even causing Lin Chen a minor injury would be quite an achievement.
However, he didn't expect Lin Chen to be so careless, not using his hands or feet, how could he possibly defeat Hei Ta?
"Hmph, what an arrogant fellow. Hei Ta is not as simple as you think."
"Come on!" Lin Chen said with a light smile, standing still and watching Hei Ta.
All the security guards watched the two, poised for combat, with bated breath.
If it were a normal fight, one could say without a doubt that Lin Chen would win.
But Lin Chen had boasted not using his hands or feet, so they were all curious, how would this fight unfold?
The Skinny One was also nervous, as he now had a lot of respect for Lin Chen and was worried that Hei Ta might hurt him.
Hei Ta let out a roar, exerted force on his feet, and his body shot out like lightning, swinging his fist towards Lin Chen.
The punch from Hei Ta was heavy and powerful. It seemed clear he intended to finish the fight with this blow.
Lin Chen, however, stood his ground, his eyes calmly watching the fist that was growing larger in front of him.
Watching this, everyone's hearts rose to their throats. "What is this guy up to? Is he really going to take Hei Ta's punch head-on?"
Su Ha watched coldly, a look of wild joy on his face.
He knew very well the power behind Hei Ta's punch; if it landed on Lin Chen's body, even if not fatal, it would lay him up in bed for months.
However, just as Hei Ta's fist was about to make contact with Lin Chen's body, Lin Chen finally moved.
Lin Chen slightly shifted his body, and Hei Ta's fist barely grazed him, hitting the air instead.
"How is this possible?" Hei Ta was stunned, and in the next moment, Lin Chen's shoulder slammed forcefully into him.
At that moment, Hei Ta had no time to dodge.
Accompanied by a dull thud, Lin Chen's shoulder struck Hei Ta hard.
Lin Chen stood at 1.8 meters, while Hei Ta's height reached 1.9 meters, and he had a burly build. When the two stood together, Hei Ta was obviously half a head taller than Lin Chen.
But to everyone's surprise, Hei Ta's body was sent flying by Lin Chen.
Hei Ta's massive body thudded to the ground with a crash that made the whole floor tremble thrice.
Witnessing this scene, everyone was stunned.
Today, the security guards finally witnessed Lin Chen's prowess, as he managed to send the powerful Hei Ta flying without even using his hands or feet.
"Hei Ta, are you okay?" the skinny guy went over and asked worriedly.
Hei Ta got up from the ground, his gaze towards Lin Chen filled with shock.
"I'm fine!" Hei Ta said, shaking his head after standing up.
He approached Lin Chen with admiration in his eyes, "Director Lin, I'm convinced by you, you are much stronger than me."
Lin Chen smiled and said, "You must have trained in Chinese kung fu, right?"
Hei Ta nodded, "I once studied kung fu at Shaolin Temple in China, but later, due to changes at home, I moved to country T with my family."
"I see," Lin Chen nodded.
At that moment, Pace walked over with a smile, "Hei Ta, last time you tied with Director Su Ha, but now you finally have someone you respect, don't you?"
Caught off guard by seeing Pace, Hei Ta exclaimed, "Aren't you supposed to have broken ribs? I was planning to visit you at the hospital! You little rascal tricked me!"
Pace chuckled, "I didn't trick you, I was healed by Director Lin."
After hearing what Pace said, Hei Ta's admiration for Lin Chen grew, "Mr. Lin, Director Su Ha said you got in through the back door, and I thought you were just a pretty boy. Little did I know that Director Lin is truly a master!"
At this, Su Ha's face twisted with embarrassment, "Hei Ta, what are you talking about? When did I ever say Director Lin got in through the back door?"
Lin Chen looked at Su Ha with a meaningful smile.
He chuckled and replied, "Director Su Ha is not wrong, I indeed took the back door, but I'm not without skill. If anyone disagrees, they can come challenge me anytime, and if they defeat me, the position of director is theirs."
After Lin Chen's speech, all the security guards were shaking their heads; the two best among them had been taken down by Lin Chen in a single move—who would dare to challenge him now?
Just then, a duty security guard ran over in a panic.
"Director Su Ha, it's bad, a bunch of punks outside are demanding protection money," the guard said, panting.
A cold smile appeared on Su Ha's face. "Now I'm the deputy director. You should report such matters to Director Lin."
"Director Lin!" the guard looked at Lin Chen.
Lin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly as he asked the guard, "Have these punks come to collect protection money before?"
The guard shook his head, "No, this is the first time."
Lin Chen glanced at Su Ha, who stood aside, and his lips curled slightly, "Alright then, let's go and see who dares to brazenly demand protection fees on my turf."
Saying this, Lin Chen led the guards to the company entrance.
At the entrance, a group of twenty or thirty punks had gathered, with one of them nonchalantly smoking a cigarette and looking at Lin Chen with a mocking expression.
Meanwhile, Su Ha beside Lin Chen gave the punk a subtle signal, thinking he was unnoticed, but Lin Chen had already seen it.
"Who's in charge here?" the punk demanded coldly.
Lin Chen stepped forward, "I'm in charge. What can I do for you, brothers?"
"You trying to play dumb with me, eh? I'm here to collect protection fees," the punk said coldly.
Lin Chen responded with a faint smile, "Ah, so it's about protection money. Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Then Lin Chen took out ten dollars from his pocket and handed it to the punk, "Here's your protection fee, get your brothers a pack of cigarettes to smoke."
"What? Ten dollars for protection money?"
Whether it was the punks or the security guards behind Lin Chen, all were dumbfounded.
