Chapter 73: Bai Chen’s Intimidation
“Brother-in-law, I need your help with something!”
An Chang Le walked out of the room, still feeling uneasy.
However, thinking about Nan Shi Yue’s fate made him feel even worse.
He knew well what Jiang Yuan Ji was capable of.
It was uncertain if Nan Shi Yue would make it to tomorrow.
Chen Tian Hai furrowed his brows.
“It’s already great that you escaped Jiang Yuan Ji! What more do you want?”
“Don’t forget, even though your An family is a first-class family in Lintai, it doesn’t hold much weight in front of the Liu family!”
Jiang Yuan Ji’s expression shifted when he heard this; he parted his lips to respond.
“Brother-in-law, of course I know that, but…”
Chen Tian Hai raised an eyebrow at An Chang Le’s appearance.
“What’s wrong? Are you interested in that woman from the Nan family?”
An Chang Le’s face froze for a moment, then he nodded.
“Brother-in-law, please just help me this once! I have money! I can pay Jiang Yuan Ji!”
Chen Tian Hai sighed. Seeing that An Chang Le was determined to rescue Nan Shi Yue, he reluctantly agreed.
“I’ll give you one more favor and help this time, but whether Jiang Yuan Ji will give me face is another matter.”
“Be prepared to spend a lot.”
“Ugh, I really don’t understand why you’d go to such lengths for a woman!”
When Chen Tian Hai agreed, An Chang Le’s face lit up with joy.
The two of them turned back once more.
Meanwhile, after An Chang Le and Chen Tian Hai left, the many students in the room fell into despair.
“I want to go home! I don’t want to stay here!”
“I need to find someone from the judicial office! They won’t just sit back and do nothing!”
“Exactly! This is a society governed by law! You can’t lay a hand on us!”
Hearing their words, Jiang Yuan Ji let out a disdainful sneer.
“Bring out the one who wants to call the judicial office!”
One of Jiang Yuan Ji’s lackeys immediately dragged a young male student forward.
“You’re looking for someone from the judicial office?”
The young student looked terrified as he stared at Jiang Yuan Ji, gulping nervously.
“I… I study law! What you’re doing is illegal!”
“Illegal?”
Jiang Yuan Ji let out a disdainful sneer and then slapped the young student in the face.
The student screamed in agony and collapsed to the ground, losing consciousness.
Everyone watched in shock as the student was knocked out with one slap, their hearts racing.
“Who else wants to call the judicial office?”
Jiang Yuan Ji scanned the surrounding crowd, and everyone shrank back like quails, not daring to speak a word.
But there were two people who were different.
Jiang Yuan Ji narrowed his eyes at Bai Chen in the corner, then turned his gaze to Nan Shi Yue, who was staring directly at him.
“You hurt my little brother, so come with us, and bring that woman beside you.”
After speaking, Jiang Yuan Ji waved his hand, and four lackeys immediately surrounded them with sneers.
Li Xue’s face turned pale at this scene as she hid behind Nan Shi Yue, trembling with fear.
Nan Shi Yue confronted the four approaching thugs without showing any fear, adopting a martial artist’s stance.
Seeing Nan Shi Yue’s actions, Jiang Yuan Ji scoffed.
“Oh, we have a martial artist here! Must have a great figure! You’ll surely be lively in bed!”
The four lackeys exchanged glances, not taking Nan Shi Yue seriously.
A female student could turn the tables?
In the next moment, the four charged at Nan Shi Yue.
Nan Shi Yue remained calm under pressure, skillfully dodging their attacks.
After gauging the four’s strength, she breathed a sigh of relief.
These four weren’t even true martial artists.
Dealing with them would be easy.
Nan Shi Yue made her move.
In the astonished gaze of Li Xue and the other students, Nan Shi Yue, who had been dodging just a moment ago, now moved like a dragon among the four.
Her long, straight legs struck swiftly.
In just a heartbeat, the four lackeys found themselves on the ground, sprawled out in disarray.
Each of them clutched their chests, wailing in agony.
Li Xue let out a long sigh of relief upon witnessing this scene.
The other students felt a spark of hope ignite within them.
Perhaps Nan Shi Yue could lead them to safety!
Bai Chen, seeing that Nan Shi Yue was unharmed, continued to sit calmly, quietly observing the unfolding situation.
He had assessed Nan Shi Yue’s strength.
Her talent surpassed Nan Lin’s, barely qualifying as a solid martial artist.
Jiang Yuan Ji narrowed his eyes as he saw Nan Shi Yue defeat his lackeys in just a few moves.
“You just took down two of my brothers, and now you’ve injured four more.”
“Do you really think I, Jiang Yuan Ji, am weak in Lintai?”
With that, Jiang Yuan Ji took off his shirt, revealing his strong muscles, and walked slowly toward Nan Shi Yue.
“If you think your strength allows you to act arrogantly here, you are very naive.”
“Next, I will show you just how big the gap is between the peak level of the acquired stage and the early stage of the acquired stage!”
Jiang Yuan Ji lightly stepped on the ground, and his figure shot out like a cannonball.
Among everyone present, only Bai Chen could see Jiang Yuan Ji’s movements; the others couldn’t catch a glimpse at all!
Even Nan Shi Yue could only see a fleeting shadow.
Jiang Yuan Ji reached Nan Shi Yue, and he could even see a hint of tension and unease in Nan Yue Ran’s eyes.
“Young lady, it’s a pity to ruin such a beautiful face!”
With that, Jiang Yuan Ji threw a punch toward Nan Shi Yue’s abdomen.
Nan Shi Yue couldn’t react in time!
Even though she tried her best to dodge, she could only watch helplessly as Jiang Yuan Ji’s fist was about to hit her stomach.
At that critical moment, a flash of light caught Jiang Yuan Ji’s peripheral vision.
In the next second, every hair on his body stood on end!
His instincts as a martial artist warned him that if he threw that punch, he would die!
Without hesitation, Jiang Yuan Ji quickly retreated to the side of his lackeys, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
“Who?!”
Jiang Yuan Ji shouted loudly.
Everyone was confused by this scene.
Just a moment ago, Jiang Yuan Ji was about to knock Nan Shi Yue down, so why was he retreating now?
Even Nan Shi Yue was perplexed, but she also breathed a sigh of relief.
Her crisis had been temporarily averted.
She truly felt as if she had been on the edge of life and death.
The gap between the early stage and the peak level of the acquired stage felt like an insurmountable chasm.
At the same time, Nan Shi Yue was also observing her surroundings.
Jiang Yuan Ji wouldn’t have backed off out of mercy; someone must have helped her!
But who could that person be?
Glancing back at Bai Chen sitting behind her, Nan Shi Yue’s pupils suddenly contracted.
“Could it be this guy?”
That thought flashed momentarily before Nan Shi Yue dismissed it.
Bai Chen could intimidate Jiang Yuan Ji?
How could that be possible!
Jiang Yuan Ji was also scanning the area, and when his gaze fell on Bai Chen, his eyes narrowed slightly.
At that moment, Bai Chen was quietly sitting in his seat, sipping his drink, looking at Jiang Yuan Ji with calm eyes.
He was playing with a pull tab from a soda can, and under the light, it reflected a glimmer of silver.
“Could it be this guy?”
Jiang Yuan Ji looked at Bai Chen, doubt creeping into his mind.
