"Hey, isn’t that An Xuan? Did he just get hit?"

"Who’s so arrogant to dare hit An Xuan? An Xuan is a guy with connections; he’s not someone you can just bully."

The commotion quickly caught the attention of some bar patrons. Many regulars recognized An Xuan and started talking about it.

An Xuan was known as a rich second-generation figure at Maggie Bar. Many people knew him, but they didn’t expect him to get hit today.

"So Guan Xun is here, huh? Compared to Guan Xun, An Xuan is indeed a bit weaker."

"But even Guan Xun wouldn’t dare to bully An Xuan like that. An Xuan follows He Tao, after all."

As everyone sighed, An Xuan got up from the ground, feeling a piercing pain in his internal organs, like his whole stomach was about to explode. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Okay, fine. I, An Xuan, swear that if I let you walk out of Maggie Bar alive today, I’ll eat shit in the restroom!" The fury in An Xuan’s eyes was about to erupt.

After he spoke, he turned around and left. Clearly, he was going to find someone. He wasn’t going to deal with Ye Qingfeng himself.

He was a rich second-generation young master; how could he compare to a small-time thug like Ye Qingfeng in a fight?

"Qingyou, is that your friend? He’s done for now. An Xuan is definitely going to call his boss, He Tao, who’s well-acquainted with underground figures. He’s doomed."

Guan Xun looked at Ye Qingfeng and immediately spoke in a cold voice. He hadn’t expected this guy to be so foolish as to humiliate An Xuan like this—it was a grudge that would never end.

After saying that, Guan Xun added another thing, "I advise you to stay away from such friends."

Ruan Qingyou’s beautiful eyes fixed on Ye Qingfeng, whose face remained calm, with a composed expression.

Seeing Ye Qingfeng’s carefree demeanor made Ruan Qingyou furious, and she immediately lashed out:

"Do you think you’re impressive? Or that you looked cool just now? Teaching a rich kid a lesson in front of a group of girls did that satisfy you?"

"Qingyou, stop!" Wang Liuying quickly said.

"Liuying, don’t worry; I’m doing this for your good and his good. This person is too self-righteous, unaware of the heights of the world, resorting to violence at the slightest disagreement. Do you still think you’re impressive? This is just a thug’s tactic."

"You look like you’re in your twenties, yet so immature. Do you know how much trouble your actions could bring to Liuying and yourself!"

Ruan Qingyou herself didn’t know why she became so angry, but seeing Ye Qingfeng’s indifferent attitude made her unable to hold back her anger.

Perhaps it was because her initial impression of this guy had been good. Sitting next to him, the atmosphere felt genuinely nice. To find him so impulsive and shallow was truly disappointing.

Ye Qingfeng was slightly taken aback, completely not understanding why Ruan Qingyou was so agitated.

If it weren’t for Wang Liuying, he wouldn’t even be at this kind of bar. Guys like An Xuan didn’t even have a chance to interact with him.

"What’s the point of acting so calm? The people behind An Xuan are the true wealthy scions of East River City. Even Guan Xun wouldn’t easily offend them. Your fake composure is just to save face. I tell you, it only makes me despise you more."

"Qingyou, stop it. Ye Qingfeng is really capable. I believe he will find a way." Wang Liuying immediately spoke up. She still believed that Ye Qingfeng was the one who saved them that day.

If Ye Qingfeng truly was that person, he certainly wasn’t afraid of An Xuan or He Tao.

"What way could he possibly have? All right, connections, background, identity, status... what do you have?" Ruan Qingyou stared at Ye Qingfeng and asked.

"I can fight." Ye Qingfeng replied honestly.

"Pfft—"

Everyone around immediately burst into laughter. This guy was honestly hilarious; he must be a comedian.

Whether it’s An Xuan or He Tao, they’re children of rich families, born into wealth and power. Being good at fighting? Even if you’re great at it, can you take on the dozen guys they might bring? Can you oppose the police they could bring?

Guan Xun also gave Ye Qingfeng a cold glance, thinking, "Idiot!"

"Ignorant stubbornness, you don’t know what the power behind these people means. When they arrive, I hope you don’t end up begging on your knees. Absolutely hopeless!"

Ruan Qingyou said angrily, completely disappointed in Ye Qingfeng.

"Ye Qingfeng, maybe you should leave first. I’ll hold them off for you." Wang Liuying was becoming worried.

Even though she firmly believed Ye Qingfeng was that man, hearing how serious Ruan Qingyou made it sound made Wang Liuying a bit less confident.

If Ye Qingfeng wasn’t that man, those people definitely wouldn’t spare him, and the consequences would be severe.

"No worries."

Ye Qingfeng chuckled lightly.

"No worries? Haha, An Xuan was right. Someone actually dares to be arrogant on my turf. Interesting. I, He Tao, am considered a notable figure in East River City and have seen countless rich heirs, but it’s my first time encountering someone as boastful as you."

At this moment, a pale-faced young man walked over, tall, with a group of youths following, and just then, An Xuan was bowing and following behind He Tao.

"He Tao is here; this is going to be a great show now."

The spectators around immediately laughed, eager to see how this arrogant young man would get out of this situation.

Guan Xun stood by, also chuckling coldly, finally able to watch Ye Qingfeng make a fool of himself.

"Guan Xun, why don’t you go find those rich kids from earlier? If they step in, maybe they can save Ye Qingfeng." Ruan Qingyou bit her lip and whispered to Guan Xun.

"After all, he is just an ordinary person, too naive and arrogant. In a moment, he might get killed by those people."

Ruan Qingyou still felt a pang of sympathy, perhaps because the young man had indeed made a good impression earlier. She quietly pleaded with Guan Xun.

A hint of anger flashed in Guan Xun’s eyes. He liked Ruan Qingyou, and the more she pleaded for Ye Qingfeng, the more he wanted to see this guy ruined.

"Don’t worry, in front of so many people, He Tao and his men won’t go too far. This young man needs a reality check; a little rough treatment is for his own good."

Guan Xun shook his head, speaking as if he genuinely cared about Ye Qingfeng.

In truth, he wished for He Tao to seriously harm Ye Qingfeng; he even considered making a secret move himself.

Since Guan Xun said so, Ruan Qingyou couldn’t speak further.
