C87 You Actually Dared to Find Trouble with Young Master Chen!?

Everyone was taken aback by his words!

Seeing Zhang Chen shaking his head moments earlier, everyone had assumed he was about to back down.

But to their surprise, Zhang Chen's response was unexpectedly blunt!

Lin Zhiqing's eyes were wide with shock, her heart racing with fear.

On one hand, the Lin family had made enemies; on the other, Zhang Chen's safety was at stake.

Yet, she was at a loss for words.

Monkey Man's expression had turned grim.

His teeth clenched, his body shaking with rage.

"You're asking for trouble!"

It took a while before Monkey Man managed to spit out those words.

With a commanding wave of his hand, he bellowed, "Bring them in!"

At his command, four burly men in suits swiftly entered through the door, each one exuding strength and power.

Zhang Chen's mouth quirked slightly.

He had encountered this type of situation more times than he could count.

Yee Qingsong and the other two young men couldn't help but smirk.

They stood by, silently enjoying the unfolding drama.

In no time, the bodyguards had Zhang Chen encircled.

They glared at him menacingly, their hostility palpable.

Lin Zhiqing's brows were furrowed with concern, her eyes filled with worry.

Zhang Chen, however, remained composed, betraying no sign of distress.

He was confident that Loong San was close at hand.

Monkey Man's voice cut through the tension, "Come on, say it again."

His challenge ratcheted up the tension in the room.

Zhang Chen, with a grin, retorted, "Are you planning to gang up on us because you have more people?"

Monkey Man's laughter was tinged with fury, "What if we are? What are you going to do about it?"

"A nobody, mocking me?"

"Do you dare?"

Sneers spread across the faces of Yee Qingsong and the other two young men.

Lin Zhiqing bit her lip, her anxiety palpable.

Zhang Chen remained silent, his smile unwavering.

Monkey Man's disdain grew more pronounced, "Since you won't make a move, I will!"

With a decisive gesture, he commanded, "Take action!"

Lin Zhiqing felt a wave of despair wash over her.

Zhang Chen's brow furrowed in concern.

Where was Loong San?

But just as Zhang Chen was about to rise and defend himself, a commanding voice suddenly erupted, "Stop!"

Everyone froze in place, including the bodyguards, who were momentarily dumbstruck.

As they turned toward the source of the commotion, they saw a large group making their entrance into the hotel.

Leading the pack was none other than Guang Tou, followed by his usual entourage of brawny men.

Zhang Chen's eyebrows lifted in realization; he now understood why Loong San hadn't shown up.

A smirk graced his lips as he waited in silence.

Yee Qingsong and the rest were equally bewildered.

Monkey Man, unfamiliar with Guang Tou, blurted out, "You dare meddle in my affairs? And who might you be?"

But before he could finish, a frantic Yee Qingsong clamped a hand over his mouth.

The two young men were flabbergasted.

Guang Tou's mocking laughter filled the air. "You're asking who I am?"

Hearing this, Yee Qingsong's panic skyrocketed.

"Qiang, please, don't overthink it. He's just a kid, doesn't know any better!" Yee Qingsong pleaded, his face contorted into an expression of desperate apology.

The revelation stunned the two young men.

Monkey Man was at a loss for words!

What status did Guang Tou hold that he could make Yee Qingsong speak in such a manner?

The next instant, sheer terror flickered in Monkey Man's eyes.

Guang Tou's sneer cut through the tension. "A child, you say? Well, if the child lacks adult supervision, I wouldn't mind stepping in to discipline him."

Yee Qingsong swallowed hard.

Monkey Man's fear escalated, his legs shaking uncontrollably.

Yee Qingsong's mind raced as he barked out, "Apologize to Qiang, now!"

It took a moment for Monkey Man to come to his senses, but when he did, he blurted out anxiously, "I'm sorry, Qiang, I was blind. Please, have mercy on me!"

There was no room for pride in the face of such a stark power imbalance.

Guang Tou toyed with the idea, musing, "You are indeed blind. But whether I can forgive you isn't my call to make."

Confusion washed over the crowd.

Was there anyone here with a stature higher than his?

Guang Tou's gaze leisurely found Zhang Chen, and he flashed a sly smile.

Catching sight of this, Zhang Chen's alarm surged, and he quickly interjected, "Guang! What are the odds of running into you here again? Such a coincidence."

After finishing his statement, he strode over and enthusiastically shook hands with Guang Tou.

The burly men behind Guang Tou were left feeling helpless.

Zhang Chen had gotten the name wrong; the man was clearly Qiang!

With an awkward smile, Guang Tou said, "Indeed, quite the coincidence."

His simple gesture had everyone dumbfounded!

Zhang Chen actually knew Guang Tou!

Shock filled Lin Zhiqing's beautiful eyes. She was aware that Zhang Chen knew the man, but she hadn't anticipated their relationship being so close!

Yee Qingsong and the other young men were frozen in surprise!

They gaped at the unfolding scene, especially Monkey Man, whose mouth twitched uncontrollably!

Swiftly, Guang Tou turned and said with a sly grin, "You see, he's the boss around here!"

Monkey Man was utterly astonished.

He staggered backward, nearly tumbling to the ground.

It took a while for Yee Qingsong to come to grips with the situation.

His face fluctuated between emotions before settling on a smile. "Mr. Zhang Chen, I had no idea you were acquainted with Qiang. Looks like we're all one big family now!"

"With that in mind, this issue should be easy to resolve. Mr. Zhang Chen, for my sake, can we agree to let today's incident slide?"

He spoke with a courteous smile spreading across his face, as Monkey Man looked on, hopeful.

Zhang Chen replied with a smile, "Of course, no problem."

Everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief at his words.

But then Zhang Chen added, "Provided he follows through on what he's promised, we can consider the matter closed."

"A man should keep his word. If he doesn't, then he forfeits his right to be called a man, doesn't he?"

At Zhang Chen's words, all four men jolted.

Monkey Man, in particular, was so shocked his eyes bulged like brass bells.

They had to finish all the dishes.

Failure to do so would result in castration!

Zhang Chen's message couldn't have been clearer!

A flash of anger crossed Yee Qingsong's eyes, yet he managed to suppress it.

After a tense pause, he turned to Lin Zhiqing with a hopeful grin, "Zhiqing, Mr. Zhang Chen still seems upset. Could you possibly help me out?"

Lin Zhiqing was only now coming to her senses after the initial shock.

Hearing Yee Qingsong's words, she couldn't help but scoff silently to herself.

With a feigned look of remorse, she said, "I'm sorry, but there's no calming him down when he's upset."

Yee Qingsong's mouth twitched fiercely in response!

Despair instantly flooded Monkey Man's heart.

Guang Tou let out a cold laugh and commanded sharply, "Begin eating!"

His voice boomed with authority.

Monkey Man's body shook violently in reaction.

His wavering gaze landed on the heaping assortment of dishes spread out on the table.
