C49 Are You Capable??

After what felt like an eternity, Boss Chen clenched his jaw and announced in a frosty tone, "Apologies to everyone, but due to unforeseen circumstances, we need to close up shop early today. Rest assured, I'll provide a full explanation tomorrow!"

"These individuals have tarnished our bar's good name, and we need to address this matter thoroughly!"

"Should I discover that any of you are spreading rumors about today's events after leaving, rest assured, I'll extend a personal invitation for you to return. Trust in my ability to make that happen!"

As the last word hung in the air, the onlookers collectively gasped in shock.

Intimidation!

But before they could further process the threat, a swarm of people burst forth from the second floor!

They herded the crowd out, brandishing baseball bats and other weapons with intent.

The music ceased, and blinding lights flooded the space.

The sight prompted another collective gasp, and the more faint-hearted scrambled for the exit.

Within moments, the bar was emptied.

Yee Qingchen was swept out with the rest.

The group had Zhang Chen completely encircled, their eyes glinting with menace.

A palpable tension seized the bar.

Now, only Zhang Chen and Su Mang remained, aside from Boss Chen's crew.

The crowd closed in on Zhang Chen.

Looking around, all he could see were the encircling heads, a sense of panic rising within him.

In such a scenario, not even Loong San could resolve the situation, could he?

He glanced over and noticed Su Mang's expression, still devoid of any concern, as she stood silently.

Zhang Chen was taken aback. What was behind Su Mang's composure?

Boss Chen approached soon after, a sneer curling his lips. "Kid, today's just not your day!"

"You had the chance to leave without issue. Why insist on courting disaster?"

His face twisted into a scornful grin.

Zhang Chen's previously unshakable calm was now disturbed, worry gnawing at him.

He was truly intimidating!

They might be thin, but their numbers were daunting!

Suddenly, Su Mang stepped forward, shielding Zhang Chen.

Boss Chen's sneer deepened. "Thinking of working with us? You're too late!"

After he finished speaking, a sneer of contempt crossed his face.

Su Mang's brows furrowed slightly, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes. "You're overthinking it."

Boss Chen, taken aback, scoffed, "At this point, you still dare to be so defiant?"

"Fine, let's see how defiant you can be in bed later!" he taunted, bursting into wild laughter.

But in the blink of an eye, a crisp sound cut through the air, followed by a pained scream.

Everyone was startled, turning their heads to locate the source of the commotion. To their horror, they saw Su Mang had just smashed a wine bottle over Boss Chen's head!

A mix of red wine and blood streamed down from his crown.

A collective gasp filled the room.

No one expected Su Mang to take such drastic action.

Zhang Chen stared at Su Mang, incredulous, completely at a loss for what had just transpired.

Was Su Mang really this fiery?

Before anyone could process what happened, Su Mang's icy voice rose, "Those who bully my brother deserve death."

Her cutting words were delivered with an air of nonchalance, as though a life meant nothing to her.

Zhang Chen stood frozen, a strange warmth spreading through him.

Meanwhile, Boss Chen looked up, his face twisted with malice.

His menacing look became even more intimidating against the backdrop of the blood. Clenching his teeth, he bellowed, "You dare to hit me?"

His words slowly brought the bystanders back to reality.

Anger flashed across their faces as they gripped their baseball bats, advancing slowly.

Zhang Chen's brow creased, and he instinctively shielded Su Mang once more, his gaze darting anxiously to the door.

Where was Loong San?

It didn't take long for the crowd to encircle them.

Boss Chen, dabbing at the blood on his forehead, vowed through clenched teeth, "I will make sure you're punished today!"

His voice seethed with boundless rage.

The gangsters closed in, water-tight, and just as they were about to strike, a loud bang erupted from the entrance!

Everyone's heart skipped a beat, and they turned reflexively toward the noise.

That's when they saw a group of people storming in from outside, their faces dark and their presence formidable!
