Chapter 54 Keep You Company to the End

People born with a keen sense would notice a subtle hostility from the surrounding environment. A sensitive intuition was one of the key elements for becoming an expert.

The group of six, except Zhang Houlong and Han Xinyan, were all promising genius in Martial Arts. The minute Young Master Zhong’s dark and vicious eyes laid on them, Li Tianlan and the others glanced back and gazed at him.

The two parties were about ten meters away. The dim light in the bar made it hard for Li Tianlan to see accurately the expression on Young Master Zhong’s face. But the latter’s eyes were staring intensely at him with clear coldness and hatred.

The eyes were on Wang Yuetong, to be precise.

“Wang Yuetong?”

Li Tianlan was a little surprised. He looked at Wang Yuetong beside him and asked gently, “Who is that?”

Clearly, Wang Yuetong noticed Young Master Zhong when he walked toward them. She frowned slightly and held Li Tianlan’s hand even tighter subconsciously. Then she answered in disgust, “Just a dandy from a wealthy family. The entire family were villains holding sway. So annoying.”

“Ha-ha, little princess! What a coincidence!”

Young Master Zhong came up with a smiling face. But his small eyes were cold and fierce as if there was a knife hiding inside. “I already know the little princess is in Huating. As the host and a member of the Zhong family, I have been looking for an opportunity to entertain you. But it’s hard to find. I didn’t expect to see you here today. It’s pure destiny. Destiny.”

Li Tianlan squinted but remained silent. Those words were evidently sarcastic. Any normal person could tell what they meant. Especially when he said the words, as the host, he enunciated each and every word, as if he was mocking something.

“A man with a family name of Zhong…”

Li Tianlan arched his eyebrows. No matter how unfamiliar he was with the situation in Zhongzhou State, he was clear the family name of the big boss in Huating was Zhong. If the young man before him really came from that family, it was not wrong for him to say the words, as the host.

“It’s really kind of you, Young Master Zhong.”

Wang Yuetong was still holding Li Tianlan’s hand. When she was not playing cute or wearing a smiling face and was very calm, she looked reserved and utterly proud, so proud that no one was in her eyes. “I was entertained well by someone yesterday and almost lost my life. The Wang family of Beihai is such an uninfluential family that we are still in the dark as to who did that. I don’t know if Young Master Zhong, as the host, could provide me with some clues? If the case turns out to be connected with the Zhong family in the end, that will not be a good thing.”

“Almost lost your life?”

Young Master Zhong appeared surprised at first and then laughed out loud. He added with a bright and clear voice, “But you survived, which is a pity. Our family cannot provide you with any clues on this matter. What can we provide since it was not us? You’re so stingy, so mean. If it were us, we wouldn’t have missed. We would certainly make you satisfied, perfectly satisfied!”

His smile was bright, but his eyes were spontaneously wandering up and down around Wang Yuetong’s entire body. There was no desire or amazement in his eyes, only extreme cruelness and maliciousness with the intent of abuse.

Wang Yuetong laughed, her voice soft and delicate. “This is interesting. Young Master Zhong, there’re all kinds of people in our Wang family of Beihai, except cowards. I really want to have a look at your entertainment and see if there’s anything special. Whether I’ll be satisfied or not, the Wang family of Beihai will surely make your family satisfied afterwards. To make all your family members satisfied!”

“I’m afraid our Zhong family won’t have the opportunity.”

Young Master Zhong was standing in the middle of the way, having no intention to make way for them. His eyes were half open. He glanced at Li Tianlan and all of a sudden asked with a vicious smile, “I believe this guy is enough to make you satisfied, isn’t he?”

He offered his hand to Li Tianlan and asked, “You look unfamiliar. Who are you? Let me introduce myself first. I’m Zhong Shaofeng, normally an idler, pissing away my time in the municipal Department of Supervision.”

“I’m Li Tianlan.”

Li Tianlan was very polite and shook hands with him. His tone was very indifferent, with neither hostility nor enthusiasm. “I’m a freshman in the Sky Academy.”

“Oh, oh, oh.”

Zhong Shaofeng responded with several interjections and then praised, “Then you must be an elite in Zhongzhou State since you are in the Sky Academy. Amazing! But I envy your luck in romance even more. With Yuetong, such a beautiful girlfriend, you must feel really happy, don’t you? Her figure, her temperament and her look all make me drool. Ha-ha! I’m wondering if I have the chance to have a taste of her in my life?” .

So reckless and outrageous!

In Huating, only the Zhong family, who were standing at the commanding heights, dared to offend the little princess of the Wang family of Beihai with such rude words.

Wang Yuetong’s face went red but her eyes remained cold. She was still holding Li Tianlan. Her grasp tightened again but she didn’t make a move.

Normally, Wang Yuetong would certainly teach Zhong Shaofeng a great lesson without any hesitation because of what he said. Of course, she wouldn’t kill him. But as long as he was alive, she could torture him at her will. Her family would take care of all the troubles she caused.

But things were different now.

Especially different when she was in Huating and he was from the Zhong family.

Several months ago, her Second Uncle Wang Xiaoyao rivalled a core member of the Zhong family for the affection of a woman and turned the latter into a vegetable. Within several months, although the entire Zhong family looked rather calm, their backbone had been lobbying in the dark all the time. He held a rather high position in the Prince Group and the whole group was waiting for a chance to cause trouble.

On the matter with the Zhong family, the Wang family of Beihai was already under some pressure. A lot of troubles resulting from the thing relating to Wang Xiaoyao hadn’t been cleared up. At such a time, Wang Yuetong must endure the provocation from the Zhong family no matter what.

Her Second Uncle turned an important person of the Zhong family into a vegetable not long ago. If she crippled Zhong Shaofeng right now, then the Wang family of Beihai, or even the whole Southeast Group, would cause public anger.

By the moment, all the big groups would presume that the Wang family of Beihai was intending to take back Huating in a tough, simple way. Once public anger was stirred up, no matter how mighty they were, the Wang family of Beihai would compromise in the face of pressure.

Zhong Shaofeng must be clear of the current situation. That was why he dared to provoke her with such aggressiveness. He was sure she could do nothing to him.

Wang Yuetong took deep breaths. Her plump bosom heaved up and down drastically while she was breathing.

Seeing this, Zhong Shaofeng whistled dramatically and praised with great sincerity, “What a beautiful scene! Brother, your girlfriend is really great. Name a price! How much should I pay to have a try? I’ve been longing for the taste of the little princess for so long.”

This time, not only Wang Yuetong, Han Xinyan, who was also a female, revealed an angry and disgusted expression. The Han family was a neutral wealthy family. But Zhong Shaofeng’s provocation was excessively harsh and she couldn’t bear it anymore.

Li Baitian and Ning Qiancheng were standing behind Li Tianlan at both sides, waiting for his reaction with blank expressions.

“You want to have a try?” he asked with a gentle smile.

Li Tianlan was still holding a hand with Zhong Shaofeng.

“What? You won’t let me do that to her?”

Zhong Shaofeng’s eyes suddenly turned sharp and revealed a little ferociousness.

Li Tianlan seemed to be a little embarrassed. He hesitated for a moment and continued kindly, “It’s Yuetong who won’t let you do so. So I’m afraid you won’t get what you want.”

The disdain in Zhong Shaofeng’s eyes flashed away. He chuckled and said, “Then you don’t have any problem with that, do you? That would be good. Even if Yuetong disagrees, I can still clear up my confusion from you.”

“People say that the little princess of the Wang family of Beihai is as clear as ice and jade. Please tell me, how does she behave in bed? Is she coquettish enough? Can she makes you reach orgasm? If she cannot, I won’t be interested in her.”

Now, Li Tianlan could almost smell the taste of a scheme behind the provocation. He wasn’t quite sure what this meant. But the dark turbulence in Zhongzhou State was getting clearer before his eyes.

Gu Yunxia’s speech at the opening ceremony, Zhuang Huayang’s invitation, the attack to Wang Yuetong, Zhong Shaofeng’s proactive or even deliberate challenge today, and Wang Yuetong’s tolerance.

All the events appeared to be independent from each other, but was involved with each other through some subtle connections. It seemed that many invisible dark hands were diving into Huating consciously or unconsciously.

Storms accumulated.

Huating was becoming the center of the vortex.

There were already so many inklings near him. How many shocking sights were there in invisible places?

Li Tianlan didn’t know what would happen in the future, but at least he was sure he didn’t have to defend Wang Yuetong against Zhong Shaofeng’s provocation. It was not necessary for him to be the hero under such circumstances. The Wang family of Beihai would handle the case.

Therefore, facing with Zhong Shaofeng’s insulting questions, he just shook his head and giggled as if he was not mad at all. “I don’t know.”

Wang Yuetong’s eyes lost some color.

There was also some disappointment in the eyes of Han Xinyan standing behind them.

“It seems that you want to leave some sense of mystery for me. I know what you’re thinking about. When I have a try of Yuetong, we’ll have a good discussion. I’ll teach you some new positions. You’re so sensible. I believe you’ll thank me, won’t you?”

Zhong Shaofeng was still laughing. His words were getting harsher and harsher. He even reached out his hand and patted Li Tianlan in the face.

Li Tianlan’s expression remained peaceful but his eyes narrowed.

Zhong Shaofeng looked at Li Tianlan without a word, but in his heart, he had lost interest in this coward. He had no further desire to tease these freshmen from the Sky Academy. His goal was always set on the Wang family of Beihai.

The little princess of the Wang family of Beihai. How unreachable she was!

But right now, because of his cousin, the entire Wang family of Beihai had to restrain their behaviors in Huating. Before this crisis ended, who knew if this restraint was temporary or permanent?

Zhong Shaofeng cared about nothing. No matter it was now or in the future, as long as the Prince Group had its power and influence, the Wang family of Beihai could do nothing to him because of his family background. Although he couldn’t have a taste of Wang Yuetong tonight, it would still feel good to humiliate the goddess with words.

“Yuetong, would you like to have a drink with your Brother Zhong alone? The wine is ordinary. If you find it hard to swallow, I have something good for you. I’ve been keeping it for days. I can guarantee you it’ll be delicious. Do you want to give it a try?”

Zhong Shaofeng sneered while still staring at Wang Yuetong.

“Get out of my way.”

Wang Yuetong said calmly, “Zhong Shaofeng, I give you one chance. Get out of my way now. Or I can ensure that you will become another Zhong Youwei very soon.”

Zhong Youwei.

Zhong Shaofeng’s cousin, the one who was beaten into a vegetable by Wang Xiaoyao several months ago. For months, Zhong Youwei had been in a coma with just one breath to keep him alive. He didn’t even have any consciousness.

Zhong Shaofeng whistled again but his body remained still. He laughed wildly and said, “Awesome! Yuetong is so aggressive. I’m so scared. Who do you want to fight for you? Hum? Would you rely on the gigolo beside you? Or would you rather want your Second Uncle to come here? Send for your Second Uncle and give him a chance to touch me! I dare him!”

“He disabled my cousin just for a bitch. Do you really think Zhongzhou State belongs to the Wang family of Beihai? Bullshit! He is going after the bitch Qin Weibai, isn’t he? Take a message for me to Wang Xiaoyao. Qin Weibai will become a plaything of our Zhong family sooner or later. When I’m bored with her, I’ll let other people in my family have a try. I…”

“What did you say?”

Li Tianlan interrupted Zhong Shaofeng’s wild laugh and asked in a peaceful voice.

Zhong Shaofeng shot a glance at Li Tianlan and grinned hideously. “I said…”

“Pah!”

Li Tianlan stretched out his hand furiously and threw a violent slap on Zhong Shaofeng’s face.

All the people nearby could hear the clear and loud sound.

The slap was not only on his face, but in his bones.

Zhong Shaofeng was more than one hundred and eighty centimeters tall. But now he was sent flying by a slap like a paper man. He weighed more than eighty kilograms, but both his feet were off the ground. Before his body flew away, Li Tianlan made a second move. He grasped his hair and hit hard on his belly with his knee when Zhong Shaofeng’s body arched automatically.

“Poof!”

Teeth and blood ejected from Zhong Shaofeng’s mouth, which was totally distorted. He whimpered and wanted to raise his head, with a pair of eyes full of horror and a little confusion.

Li Tianlan acted without any hesitation. Coherent, intense, precise, and ruthless, he had done a series of actions resolutely and violently.

Zhong Shaofeng tried hard to stand up, but was pressed down by Li Tianlan’s elbow with a merciless hit on his back.

“Senior brother, please don’t!”

That was Wang Yuetong’s distorted voice.

With a series of clear sounds from the broken bones, Zhong Shaofeng’s entire spine was almost smashed by this blow. Without support, he fell to the ground all of a sudden, like a puddle of mud. He then fainted completely.

Everything happened just so fast. The people at table number one didn’t react to it until Zhong Shaofeng’s spine was totally ruined by Li Tianlan.

“F*ck!”

As a sudden deep roar sounded from table number one, a beefy figure like a giant instantly rushed toward Li Tianlan.

The air in the bar turned hot immediately.

But before the fire was lighted up, Li Tianlan, who was still grasping Zhong Shaofeng and was about to penetrate his fingers into the flesh, took the initiative to attack and threw a punch toward the beefy guy.

One fist against another.

There seemed to be wind and thunder roaring in the air.

All the bones inside Li Tianlan’s body were trembling at the same time. In an instant, all his power was transferred into his fist.

“Bang!”

The entire bar seemed to be shaking with the deep sound. The exquisite floor tiles under his feet broke into pieces in a second and his two feet inserted into the ground. The beefy figure, which was dashing toward him, flew back with an even faster speed. It passed table number one and knocked over a large number of tables and chairs.

Zhong Shaofeng’s two bodyguards followed closely and dashed toward Li Tianlan from both sides.

Li Tianlan’s face was as calm as stagnant water from the beginning to the end. Without releasing the Human Emperor, he lifted Zhong Shaofeng’s body up and shook it violently.

“Pitter-patter…”

In a flash, not only Zhong Shaofeng’s spine but his arms and legs, even the fingers, were crushed. Zhong Shaofeng woke up from his coma due to intense pain. He couldn’t howl, but could only make a dying sob from his distorted mouth.

A bodyguard touched Zhong Shaofeng’s body and his muscular body flew away directly. The other bodyguard was kicked by Li Tianlan on the belly before he got close and flew toward the bar counter. The tremendous force carried his body and smashed the marble counter. Broken stones rolled over and the bar counter toppled down. Different bottles of alcohol, be it expensive or ordinary, fell to the ground. The aroma of the wine wafted in the air.

What a mess!

Both Wang Yuetong and the customers at table number one were dumbfounded.

However, Li Tianlan didn’t stop. He carried Zhong Shaofeng’s body and strode toward table number one.

At the table, the leading petite girl suddenly tightened her body.

At the same time, Li Tianlan lifted Zhong Shaofeng’s feet, brandished his body and smashed it hard at the marble table.

Zhong Shaofeng’s head hit the table with great force.

Table number one was completely crushed. Bottles and plates were everywhere. Zhong Shaofeng, who was now soaked in blood, lay among the stones and was twitching from physical reflection.

Li Tianlan was still wearing a blank face. He squatted down beside Zhong Shaofeng and looked at the guy, who was twitching with dim and panic eyes. Then he said simply, “You don’t have to say anything now. I forgot to tell you that Qin Weibai, who you just mentioned, is my woman. What do you think you are? And what is Wang Xiaoyao? You are not qualified to covet my woman! You asked for this and you deserve it.”

He stood up slowly and ground Zhong Shaofeng’s toes one by one leisurely. Then his soles. Amid the clear sound of bones cracking, he straightened himself up and looked at the petite girl, who was still sitting where she was and had some wine spilt on her clothes.

At this moment, Li Tianlan’s heart was unprecedentedly calm, but his behavior was unprecedentedly overbearing and cruel.

He raised the corner of his mouth a little and sneered at her, “The idlers exited. Gu Youlan, what else do you want to do? “Today, I’ll keep you company to the end!”
