Chapter 925: Chapter 925
Lin Chen stared coldly at Wu Fei. "Remember, this time you got lucky. If you dare make a move on my girlfriend again, you know what the consequences will be."
Shrouded in the killing intent emanating from Lin Chen, Wu Fei was so terrified that he nearly wet himself.
"I-I understand," Wu Fei stammered, his voice trembling.
At that moment, Zhang Lan glanced at Manager Guo and said, "Manager Guo, do me a favor and let's just call it a day with this matter, shall we?"
Manager Guo's eyes flickered, his face showing a conflicted expression. "Mayor Zhang, it's not that I don't want to extend you this courtesy, but this kid didn't just assault a guest at our hotel—he also attacked our security guards. If I let them walk away scot-free, I won't be able to answer for it."
"Would you like me to call your boss personally?" A dissatisfied voice interjected suddenly. The speaker was none other than Old Zhang.
"Secretary Zhang, that's not what I meant," Manager Guo replied, clearly frustrated. "But this situation really puts me in a tough spot."
Wu Fei, standing off to the side, smirked wickedly, eagerly anticipating seeing Lin Chen punished by the hotel.
"Kid, keep acting arrogant. You hit someone from the Ronghua Club—there's no way you're walking out of this place unscathed."
Just then, the crisp sound of high heels echoed as a woman in a qipao slowly approached.
As she drew closer, Lin Chen's eyes lit up.
"Wow, could she be a goddess descending to the mortal realm? This beauty is simply breathtaking."
The woman appeared to be about twenty-four or twenty-five years old. Her jet-black hair cascaded down her shoulders, her long willow-leaf eyebrows carried a hint of coolness, and her luminous eyes sparkled with brilliance. Her cherry-red lips were lush and alluring, tempting one to bite them.
Her slender, graceful figure was perfectly accentuated by the tight qipao, highlighting her captivating curves and slender waistline.
The black, lacy lingerie beneath her qipao was faintly visible, closely hugged by the fabric, creating the sense that it might burst open at any moment.
The young scions present were immediately captivated by her, their eyes gleaming with barely concealed greed.
Manager Guo's expression changed dramatically when he saw the woman, and he hurriedly bent over to greet her. "Miss Yue'er, how do you wish to handle this matter?"
"Manager Guo, let's just leave it at that. Secretary Zhang has already spoken, and our Ronghua Club ought to show some respect," Miss Yue'er said lightly.
Manager Guo let out a long sigh of relief. The situation had been a hot potato for him, but the woman's statement made it much easier to deal with.
Just as Manager Guo was about to turn away, Miss Yue'er's cool voice rang out again. "As for Young Master Wu and the other young scions who were causing trouble at the club, throw them out and blacklist them from entering in the future."
"What?" Manager Guo's face changed upon hearing Yue'er's words.
After all, the Wu family was the number one family in Zhonghai City. Yue'er's decision was essentially a blatant provocation against them.
"Did you not hear me?" Miss Yue'er's willow-leaf brows furrowed as her voice turned frostier.
"Understood, I'll handle it," Manager Guo said, nodding before gesturing to the security guards nearby. "Throw Young Master Wu and his group out."
Wu Fei froze in shock as the security guards stormed toward him.
"What are you doing? I'm the second young master of the Wu family!"
Before he could finish speaking, he and his companions were swiftly grabbed by the guards and thrown out of the club.
"What…?" Witnessing this scene, Wang Ning was utterly stupefied, and so were Old Zhang and Zhang Lan, their eyes flickering with disbelief.
"Mr. Lin, I apologize for our poor hospitality at the club today. Please forgive us. All your expenses for today will be waived. Enjoy your meal, and I hope we'll meet again someday." As she finished speaking, Miss Yue'er shot Lin Chen a charming smile before turning to leave.
"Wait a moment, Miss. Do we know each other?" Lin Chen finally couldn't help asking.
Miss Yue'er paused, then replied, "You don't know me, but I know you. And I believe we'll meet again very soon."
With that, Yue'er left with the security guards.
Old Zhang and Zhang Lan exchanged glances, their faces showing expressions of awe.
"Mr. Lin, I didn't expect the owner of the Ronghua Club to show you such respect," Old Zhang remarked, unable to conceal his amazement.
"It's nothing—it's only because of you, Old Zhang." Lin Chen chuckled.
Old Zhang shook his head and smiled wryly. "My influence might ordinarily save you, but to have the club's owner throw that brat from the Wu family out? That's definitely not within my reach."
Lin Chen smiled at Old Zhang. "Regardless, I still must thank you and Mayor Zhang for stepping in to help."
Old Zhang waved it off. "Even without us, the result wouldn't have changed."
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Lin Chen watched as Old Zhang and Zhang Lan departed.
At that moment, Wang Ning and the other young scions standing nearby were completely dumbfounded.
"Damn, Wang Ning, your brother-in-law is incredible! He's got connections with the mayor and even the provincial secretary!"
"Yeah, even the owner of the Ronghua Club treats your brother-in-law with respect. Just who the hell is he?"
"Your brother-in-law's martial arts skills are insane. Did you hear? The head of security at the club, who's supposedly a high-level master of the Yunhai Realm, was defeated by your brother-in-law with a single move!"
Wang Ning listened to the respectful chatter around him with a bitter smile and crimson cheeks, remembering how he had earlier mocked Lin Chen so thoughtlessly.
"Brother-in-law, you're amazing!" Wang Ning exclaimed, his face flushing as he approached Lin Chen.
Lin Chen smiled faintly and patted Wang Ning on the shoulder. "What's this? Finally willing to acknowledge me as your brother-in-law now? The situation's been taken care of, so go enjoy yourself with your friends inside. Put everything on my tab."
"Anyway, that beautiful lady just said today's expenses are on the house. Might as well take advantage of it, right?"
Returning to the private room, Lin Chen was immediately reprimanded by Wang Zixuan. "You're finally back! We thought you'd run away because you couldn't afford the bill."
"Who said I couldn't pay? Waiter, add a few more dishes for us!" Lin Chen ordered several expensive dishes as he spoke.
"Whoa, Lin Chen, why are you suddenly acting so generous?" The girls were all stunned.
Meanwhile, in a quiet grove of purple bamboo, a young woman sat cross-legged on a meditation mat, her eyes lightly closed in concentration.
If Lin Chen were to step into this grove, he'd undoubtedly be stunned, for it was enveloped by a powerful Spirit Gathering Array.
Thanks to the Spirit Gathering Array, the spiritual energy in the bamboo grove was dozens of times richer than outside.
A gentle breeze flowed through, causing the golden strands of the young woman's hair to flutter like a shimmering waterfall. Suddenly, her stunning eyes snapped open.
Yue'er approached the young woman and bowed slightly. "Miss, everything has been handled."
"Good work," the young woman nodded approvingly.
"Miss, was it really worth offending the Wu family over this young man?" Yue'er asked, seeming puzzled.
The young woman suddenly smiled. "Yue'er, remember—if the Wu family is merely Zhonghai's local bully, then Lin Chen is a dragon in the heavens. How could you ever compare a dragon to a snake?"
