"Ah..."
Cai Quan froze for a second before letting out a piercing scream.
Hearing Cai Quan's scream, Yuan Jing and the other two young men finally snapped back to reality.
They never dreamed that Chu Lingtian, who had been smiling kindly while answering Cai Quan's question, appearing foolish and timid, would, before he finished speaking, plunge his chopsticks through Cai Quan's palm and the table simultaneously. Such a sudden reversal, such a hidden dagger in a smile, sent shivers down their spines, making them shudder with cold fear!
"I'll give you three seconds to disappear from my sight. And don't you dare bother Yuan Jing again in the future, or I'll beat you every time I see you!"
*Whoosh!*
As Chu Lingtian spoke, he pulled out the chopsticks.
"Ah... my hand!!!"
The pain in Cai Quan's hand intensified, and he fell to the ground.
The other two young men were also stunned by Chu Lingtian's smiling treachery. Daring not to act rashly, they could only rush to help Cai Quan up.
"Damn it, Chu, you insignificant trash security guard, how dare you hurt me? You're dead!"
Cai Quan, his face contorted with pain, glared at Chu Lingtian and roared with murderous intent.
*Swish!*
Chu Lingtian flicked the chopsticks in his hand.
*Thwack! Thwack!*
Two chopsticks were once again plunged precisely into Cai Quan's right thigh.
"Ah... my leg!!!"
Cai Quan screamed and wailed again. He probably never imagined he'd have such terrible luck today, with both his hands and feet severely injured by a pair of chopsticks.
"I told you I'd give you three seconds. Now there's only one second left..."
Chu Lingtian turned his head slightly, his gaze sharp and fierce like a blade, striking such fear into Cai Quan and the other two young men that they fled in disarray.
However, as Cai Quan ran out of the Mala Tang restaurant, he shouted back with a threat, "Chu, you listen to me. I'm a core member of the Sanhe Gang, and Old Master Jiu is my boss. You just clean your neck and wait to be killed!"
"This... it's bad, you've caused huge trouble. Cai Quan is actually from the Sanhe Gang!"
Yuan Jing was terrified, her face drained of color. She quickly looked at Chu Lingtian and said.
"Sanhe Gang?"
Chu Lingtian frowned. The company he was helping Guo Xiaoyan collect a debt from was precisely the Sanhe Gang. Moreover, when he took the money back then, he had asked the general manager of Sanhe Company, Yang Ye, to convey a message to the boss of the Sanhe Gang, Old Master Jiu, that he, Chu Lingtian, had collected the debt himself, and it had nothing to do with Baoxue Company or anyone else. If he was unhappy, he should come find him.
"Yes, the Sanhe Gang is one of the top three underworld forces in our city. I heard their boss, Old Master Jiu, is extremely ruthless. The finger he's missing was cut off by himself!"
Yuan Jing nodded, looking at Chu Lingtian with a hint of fear.
Chu Lingtian chuckled, thinking that this Sanhe Gang was truly a fated encounter. But it was good, as he was back to carry out a secret mission assigned by his superiors, and he could start with this Sanhe Gang.
"Aren't you quite capable? They haven't even shown up yet, and you're already this scared?"
Chu Lingtian looked at Yuan Jing and teased with a smile.
Yuan Jing said anxiously, "You can still laugh? If the Sanhe Gang really comes after you, you'll be crippled even if you don't die. Because everyone who has ever offended the Sanhe Gang in the past has either ended up dead or permanently disabled!"
"Then we'll deal with it when the Sanhe Gang shows up. Worrying about what might not happen is useless. Let's eat."
Chu Lingtian smiled indifferently, picked up another pair of chopsticks, and began to eat the dishes and rice with large bites.
Yuan Jing rolled her eyes at Chu Lingtian, then said, "Hurry up and eat. After we finish, we'll leave here quickly. Fortunately, Cai Quan and the others don't know our current address. I hope this city is big enough that the Sanhe Gang can't find you, otherwise, you're finished."
Chu Lingtian didn't say anything upon hearing Yuan Jing's words and continued to eat the food heartily.
After finishing their meal, Chu Lingtian and Yuan Jing returned home.
Chu Lingtian lay on the sofa playing with his phone, while Yuan Jing went into her bedroom after taking a shower.
The next morning, Chu Lingtian woke up with an urge to urinate. He stumbled groggily towards the bathroom door and pushed it open.
"Ah..."
A woman's sharp scream startled Chu Lingtian completely awake.
He looked closely and saw a woman squatting on the toilet, urinating.
But this woman was not Yuan Jing.
Chu Lingtian subconsciously retreated from the bathroom, leaving the door open but not looking further. He asked, "Who are you?"
The stranger didn't answer immediately. Instead, she quickly put on her underwear, let down the hem of her nightgown, and rushed out of the bathroom. Pointing her finger at Chu Lingtian's nose, she yelled, "Bastard, did you just see that part of me? Speak!"
"I saw it."
Chu Lingtian nodded.
At this moment, Chu Lingtian also sized up the stranger. She was wearing a black camisole nightgown, with wavy hair cascading over her shoulders, fair arms, long slender legs, and a beautiful face. Coupled with a height of at least 1.7 meters, she was an absolute stunner.
If one were to compare this stranger to Yuan Jing, they both had their merits, being on par.
"Yuan'er, what's wrong?"
Yuan Jing, hearing her friend Chen Yuan's scream, hurried out of the bedroom and asked.
"Xiao Jing, this... this big scoundrel just peeked at me while I was peeing."
Chen Yuan, both angry and ashamed, flushed her beautiful face, her beautiful eyes glaring at Chu Lingtian with murderous intent.
"I didn't peek. I accidentally saw you peeing..."
Before Chu Lingtian could finish speaking, Chen Yuan threw a punch.
"Bastard, I must teach you a good lesson today and get back at Xiao Jing too!"
Chen Yuan clenched her fists and attacked Chu Lingtian with swift and fierce blows.
"Yuan'er, don't provoke him..."
Yuan Jing had experienced firsthand how powerful Chu Lingtian was and knew that her good friend Chen Yuan was no match for this man. She quickly tried to warn her.
But it was too late. Chen Yuan, enraged by Chu Lingtian seeing that part of her, had lost her reason and was relentlessly punching towards Chu Lingtian's face.
*Whoosh!*
*Bang!*
Immediately after, Yuan Jing saw Chen Yuan subdued by Chu Lingtian in one move and then thrown to the ground with a shoulder throw.
"Ah... Bastard, I'll kill you!"
Chen Yuan, in pain, gritted her white teeth and struggled to get up from the ground.
"If you keep messing with me, you won't be so lightly thrown as you were just now. I would have at least broken your bones." Chu Lingtian's gaze turned cold, intimidating Chen Yuan. Then he turned to Yuan Jing and said sternly:
"You'd better give me a reasonable explanation, or you and she will get out of this house immediately!"
