Chapter 901: Chapter 901

"If you don’t want to apologize, that’s fine too." Ling Chen pointed at the bottles of foreign wine on the table and said, "Each of you takes a bottle, and as long as you drink it all in one go, I’ll let what happened earlier slide."

"Ha!" Song Wen sneered, looked at Ling Chen, and said, "Do you even know who we are? We..."

"Shut your damn mouth," Ling Chen said impatiently. "I don’t care who you are. Even if you were the King himself, if you don’t do as I say today, I’ll deal with you all the same."

Song Wen, defiant and unconvinced, challenged, "Go ahead and try it if you dare."

Just as Song Wen finished speaking, a loud slap echoed immediately.

Instantly, Song Wen, slapped hard, lost his balance and staggered towards the table, knocking it over entirely and spilling wine all over himself, in a completely embarrassing state.

Seeing Song Wen suffer, the others quickly shouted, "Security, security!"

At this moment, the ruckus they caused had attracted the attention and gaze of all the guests present. With the help of his friends, Song Wen stood up again. Seeing the surrounding guests pointing and smiling at him, Song Wen felt utterly humiliated.

As a company executive, when had he ever lost so much face, especially in full view of everyone?

The attendees at this gathering were all influential figures, and now that he was knocked to the ground in front of so many people, he figured he’d become the laughing stock once the event was over.

Thinking of this, Song Wen felt increasingly angry, losing his rationality to his fury, and directly grabbed a wine bottle from the ground, aiming to smash it onto Ling Chen’s head.

Seeing Song Wen coming at him, Ling Chen extended his leg and kicked a nearby stool.

Immediately, the stool, impacted by the force, slid forward, just in front of Song Wen.

Unprepared, Song Wen’s legs bumped into the stool, causing him to lose balance once again and topple to the ground, as the bottle in his hand flew out, landing right back on his own head.

With a loud ’clang,’ the bottle shattered instantly, blood mixed with wine flowing out of his hair.

Song Wen’s pitiful state caused the onlookers to burst into fits of laughter.

Shame mixed with rage made Song Wen shout, preparing to lunge at Ling Chen.

At this time, several security personnel rushed out from the crowd, pinning Song Wen to the ground once again. A few others charged towards Ling Chen, attempting to restrain him as well.

Nonetheless, before any of those security personnel could touch Ling Chen, he easily dealt with them. Though the security personnel at the event were not weak, Ling Chen was now a different person than before. As a master on the Earthly List, these small fry were not a challenge.

Seeing Ling Chen’s capabilities, the other security personnel immediately held back, not daring to continue.

As the two sides were in a standoff, Ling Shen quickly emerged from the crowd, glaring at Ling Chen and said, "Arrest him for me."

"Wait a minute!" Ling Chen raised his hand to stop the security officers, smirking as he said, "Mr. Ling, what are you doing? I didn’t offend you, did I? Is this how Wanheng Group treats its guests?" Fınd the newest release on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽

Ling Shen said coldly, "Ling Chen, you know very well what you’ve done. Don’t expect me to let you go."

Hearing this, Ling Chen chuckled and said, "What did I do? I’ve been here since the start of the event and haven’t gone anywhere. Mr. Ling, even if you want to frame me, at least come up with some story. We’re in a society ruled by law, where evidence is key for everything. Slandering me , I could sue you for defamation."

"You..." Ling Shen was momentarily speechless.

He couldn’t possibly recount what had just occurred in front of so many people. Thinking about it, Ling Shen took a deep breath, trying his best to calm himself down.

"Ling Chen, we both know what’s going on. Hand over what you took just now, and I won’t give you a hard time tonight. If not, you won’t be able to walk out of here."

"Oh? Is Mr. Ling planning to restrict my personal freedom by force? Fine, this is your turf, you do as you wish. But don’t blame me for not warning you—before doing anything, you’d better weigh your own capabilities and see if you have what it takes to keep me here."

Hearing this, Ling Shen frowned slightly.

He understood Ling Chen’s situation very well. It was precisely because he knew enough that he was a bit hesitant.

Even though he brought a lot of personnel, these people probably couldn’t do much against Ling Chen. Besides, he was the host of the night’s event; causing a scene and having a conflict with a guest would inevitably lead to negative consequences.

After thinking it over, Ling Shen made his decision.

"Ling Chen, you may have your way this time. You wait, I will settle this score with you eventually." With that, Ling Shen waved his hand and left with his security team.

Watching Ling Shen and his group head back to the villa, Ling Chen smiled faintly, unfazed by Ling Shen’s threats.

This was East Sea City, his turf, and he didn’t take the likes of Ling Shen seriously.

As he mused, a cry of pain diverted Ling Chen’s attention.

Turning around, he saw Song Wen, again being supported by a few friends as he stood up. The security wasn’t as lenient as Ling Chen just was; at this moment, Song Wen was bruised and battered, looking utterly disheveled.

"Mr. Song, are you okay?" a concerned friend asked.

Song Wen pushed the person aside, glaring angrily at Ling Chen, gritting his teeth as he said, "Ling Chen, mark my words, I..."

Before Song Wen could finish, Nanrong Wanqing emerged from the crowd and asked indifferently, "Ling Chen is my boyfriend. If you have any issues, bring them to Hongyu Group."

Upon hearing this, Song Wen was stunned for a moment, unable to recover for a long time.

"Miss... Miss Nanrong..." Song Wen stared blankly at Nanrong Wanqing, his anger-clouded mind clearing up instantly.

He swallowed, mulling over Nanrong Wanqing’s words, a sense of trepidation setting in.

This bastard was actually Nanrong Wanqing’s boyfriend!

Now it was truly over for him.

Song Wen’s face turned pale; who would have thought Ling Chen had such a strong backing?

"Um... Mr. Ling, it was wrong of us just now. You are magnanimous; please don’t hold it against us."

At this point, those who had joined in to pressure Ling Chen were terrified by his identity and quickly came forward to apologize.

Ling Chen ignored them, gazing straight at Song Wen and said, "Mr. Song, didn’t you say you wanted to fire my friend? In that case, I’ll resign on her behalf. Feifei, let’s go."
