Chapter 52: Ah Lian's Identity
"Fuck, you damned bitch! Get her! I'm going to fucking wreck you today!" Young Master Zhang wiped the alcohol from his face, his expression twisted and savage. With a wave of his hand, a dozen or so more people stood up and started chasing Gu Feifei.
Just then, Zhou Fan and Chen Feng happened to walk over. Gu Feifei was so focused on running with her head down that she ran straight into Zhou Fan's arms.
"Hey beautiful, what's the rush?"
Zhou Fan wrapped an arm around Gu Feifei's slender waist, asking flirtatiously, but his eyes were fixed on the dozen or so people chasing after them.
"Brother… Brother Fan, they were bullying me! They tried to force me to drink and wanted to drag me out of here!" Gu Feifei looked up at his handsome face, then quickly hid behind Zhou Fan, whispering her grievances.
"Kid, I'd advise you to stay out of this!"
Young Master Zhang strode forward. Looking at Zhou Fan holding Gu Feifei, he had a nagging feeling that the man looked familiar. But, not wanting to lose face in front of his buddies, he didn't give it much thought and pointed at Zhou Fan, shouting.
What Young Master Zhang didn't notice was that the few buddies and dozen or so bodyguards who had followed him were a bit stunned. They were regulars at this bar, and before Zhou Fan got married, he was here almost every day. They all recognized him.
Although they had a bit of money, they knew this bar had a real tough guy, one who had once beaten up ten people by himself over a trivial matter.
"Well, well, if it isn't Young Master Zhang? Haven't seen you in a few days, and you've gotten so impressive, huh?"
Zhou Fan looked at Young Master Zhang like he was an idiot. He led Gu Feifei closer, took out a cigarette and lit it, then blew a big ring of smoke right in the man's face.
"COUGH COUGH… Zhou… Zhou Fan, is that you?" Young Master Zhang choked on the mouthful of smoke, coughing a few times before he finally recognized Zhou Fan, his words suddenly laced with a stutter.
Because the last time Zhou Fan went on a rampage and beat up ten people, he had been one of them.
"I'm talking to you. Since when did you get so impressive? You dare bring these trash bodyguards of yours to bully my girl?" Zhou Fan ignored Young Master Zhang's reaction, raising a hand to lightly pat his cheek, his expression full of insolence.
"Zhou Fan, don't be so fucking arrogant! I didn't know she was your woman!"
It was impossible for Young Master Zhang not to be afraid. After getting beaten up last time, he had secretly sent people to ambush Zhou Fan, but they all came back the next day battered and bruised. Since then, he had done his best to avoid provoking this guy. He never expected to be so unlucky today.
"Well, you know now. So, how about a reasonable explanation?"
Normally, Zhou Fan wouldn't have dragged this out; he would have let it go with a simple apology. But today, he had no intention of ending things so easily.
"What do you want? At most, I'll apologize to your girl!"
Young Master Zhang said, frustrated. 'Fuck, why did I have to run into this guy?'
"President Chen, you invited me here for a drink, but my girl almost got hurt. What do you think we should do about this?"
Zhou Fan paid Young Master Zhang no mind, turning his head to look at Chen Feng instead.
"Teach them a lesson. Disrespecting Mr. Zhou is disrespecting me!" Chen Feng didn't waste any words, either. He gave a nod to the two bodyguards beside him, and they rushed forward.
"Fuck it, get 'em! If you hurt them, it's on me! If you get hurt, I'll give you a hundred thousand yuan each! They're pushing us too far!"
Young Master Zhang seemed to have been pushed to his limit. With a loud roar, he grabbed a wine bottle from somewhere and charged forward with his men.
Zhou Fan quickly pulled Gu Feifei back, a playful smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.
In an instant, the two sides clashed. Although Young Master Zhang had more people, Chen Feng's two bodyguards were no slouches and weren't at a disadvantage at all.
Suddenly, as if he had lost his mind, Young Master Zhang bypassed the two bodyguards and went straight for Ah Lian, shouting as he ran, "Fuck it, there's another chick over here! I just need to grab one!"
Ah Lian was in a panic. In her flustered state, her footing became unsteady, and she fell right to the ground.
But that fall just so happened to let her dodge Young Master Zhang's bottle.
Soon, Young Master Zhang and his men were all beaten to the ground.
"Get lost. And watch who you mess with next time." Zhou Fan waved his hand in disgust, then said goodbye to Chen Feng and left as well.
"Brother Fan, did you intentionally let them start that fight just now?" In the car taking Gu Feifei home, she tilted her head, her face full of curiosity.
"Don't be silly, I'm a good guy!" Zhou Fan smiled faintly. 'If even Gu Feifei could tell, how could Chen Feng not have noticed? But since he did notice and still followed my lead by ordering his men to act, it means Chen Feng has his own doubts. Doubts about Ah Lian's identity. Ah Lian has been acting far too calm—too calm for an ordinary maid. When Young Master Zhang suddenly charged at her, she appeared to stumble and fall in a flustered panic, but it didn't escape my eyes. I could tell at a glance that she knew martial arts, and her skills were not to be underestimated. Plus, based on what Situ Xin had said before, she must be the one who planted this second Gu Insect.'
Suddenly, several cars appeared up ahead, blocking their path.
