Chapter 26: Why So Serious

As the night deepened, the bar street began its business. Because it was located within the university town, most establishments here were quiet bars; only in the deepest part were there a few rowdier ones. Students rarely came here, and it was a mixed bag of people.

Li Chenchen changed into a long-sleeved shirt and entered the bar with his expression as usual.

He had spent the entire afternoon roughly getting to know his target.

According to the results of his divination, the target had excellent luck with women but no partner of his own, and he seemed to frequently get into trouble. Theoretically, one could hear a lot of news about such a person in a place like a bar.

He took the opportunity of ordering a drink to chat with the bartender.

"I heard there's a weirdo in this area, handsome, but he doesn't get close to women. Heh, he wouldn't happen to be gay, would he?"

The bartender was a woman with somewhat dark skin, wearing a white shirt and a black vest. Under the dim lights, she was passable, though the braces she revealed when she opened her mouth were a bit of an eyesore.

"You're talking about that Bai... uh, never mind, pretend I didn't say anything."

The woman was very cautious, seemingly afraid of causing trouble, but a clear smile appeared on the corner of Li Chenchen's mouth. Since the other party knew, it was even easier to handle. He took out several red banknotes, pressed them under the wine glass, and pushed it over; the meaning was obvious.

The woman was very tempted, but she still had a hesitant look on her face.

"Sir, this is a bar, we don't do other business..."

Li Chenchen smiled indifferently, took out a few more banknotes, pushed them over, and said.

"Then just consider it me buying a drink. You mix me a drink you're best at, and these are your tips."

The woman's subconscious movement to grab the banknotes made the corners of Li Chenchen's mouth curl up in a mocking smile. He tilted his head slightly; the sound of the woman's accelerating heartbeat was very obvious.

The woman looked around, and while putting away the banknotes, she picked up a few bottles of wine and moved a little closer to Li Chenchen's position.

She mixed the drink skillfully, her heart beating very fast, her voice very low, as if she were telling some urban legend.

"Sir, I don't know if the person you're talking about is the one I'm thinking of, but..."

"Go ahead and speak, just consider it me being bored and listening to a story."

The woman nodded and said.

"I heard from the seniors at the bar and some fellow townsfolk who came to work here earlier than me that there has always been a legend in this vicinity."

Li Chenchen listened while drinking.

"Legend has it that in the Binhai University Town area, there is a young man in the underworld who is like a 【Monster】."

"It is said that when he was in middle school, he once beat a gang member until they were hospitalized. During his few years at university, any group in the vicinity that dared to cross the line was beaten until they were hospitalized and disbanded."

"Some people once said that he could send a sturdy adult flying with a single punch, and others said that guy is a master of ancient martial arts, with lightning-fast speed; without guns, no one is his opponent..."

Li Chenchen frowned slightly. How did this guy sound like he was already a Reincarnator?

But he had clearly seen that the other party knew nothing, completely the style of a new Reincarnator.

The girl with braces pushed the mixed drink to the man. Her heartbeat was already very high, but the other party did not suspect anything.

She was very good at observing people and manipulating a man's psychology. She knew that although the man in front of her seemed to be smiling the whole time, he was actually incredibly arrogant inside and didn't put anyone in his eyes at all.

That kind of look, she had only seen on one or two rich second-generation heirs.

It was clearly that he felt no one was worthy of communicating with him on equal terms. The friendliness he displayed was a kind of arrogance similar to how a human treats a small animal.

And this kind of person is the easiest to overlook many details.

The girl with braces' heart was beating fast. She rarely did this kind of drugging, but at this moment, she gradually calmed down.

She watched this man drink the glass of wine she had spiked, felt relieved in her heart, and then, after saying some more true and false information, took the opportunity of serving others to quietly leave the bar counter where the man was. She quietly sent an 'ok' on her phone.

Not long after, several people dressed like security guards in black suits walked over.

At this time, Li Chenchen was already quietly slumped on the bar counter. The few security guards, just like treating those drunks, carried Li Chenchen out.

The three security guards were naturally all Xiao Ning's men. They quickly brought Li Chenchen to the basement and threw him on the cold ground.

Xiao Ning snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, walked over, and stepped on Li Chenchen's face with his foot. He took a look at the other party's appearance; it was not a "friend in the business" he knew.

"Really a fresh face. Why is this kind of person looking for Brother Bai?"

"Forget it, let's beat him up first, then take some nude photos of him and throw him out."

Xiao Ning was not a real gangster. In today's Dongxia, mature gangs had long since completely transformed or disappeared; most of those left were groups like his.

Not good people, but they didn't dare to be too evil, and they still had fear of the law.

"Heh, really a bunch of bottom-tier trash. No wonder you were scared by a newcomer."

An abrupt voice rang out. Xiao Ning was startled. Almost instantly, he reacted that the man under his feet had woken up. He suddenly lifted his foot and stomped down heavily.

!

But a palm steadily grabbed Xiao Ning's leather shoe.

Xiao Ning felt a massive, unstoppable force rising from below. He couldn't step down at all and lost his center of gravity instantly. He only had time to shout "He's awake" before being flipped over.

Hongmei, hiding in the furthest corner, opened her eyes wide, watching that young man actually flip Brother Ning away with one hand.

Yes, it was literally flipping him away.

Xiao Ning, who was nearly 1.8 meters tall and weighed over 160 jin, was thrown three meters away by the man with a single lift of his hand, crashing heavily onto the sofa.

The other three security guards also reacted at this time.

The first one was the most vicious. He stepped forward with his left foot and lifted his right foot directly to kick Li Chenchen's body violently.

At this time, Li Chenchen was supporting the ground with one hand, while the other hand still maintained the posture of exerting force to push Xiao Ning away. Facing the incoming kick, he suddenly exerted force with the hand supporting the ground.

His body's center of gravity moved forward instantly, like a gecko, pouncing forward.

The security guard's powerful kick missed, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground instead.

The other two only felt a black shadow pounce forward instantly. Like a Cat, he stood up in an instant, walked up the wall with a few more kicks, and flipped in mid-air.

Bang!

One of them instantly went dark before his eyes, being kicked in the face. He immediately fell straight to the ground, twitched twice, and lost consciousness.

Slap!

The wine bottle in Hongmei's hand fell to the ground and shattered with a bang. Her eyes were somewhat dull; she could hardly believe the scene she was seeing.

That man had solved the team's experts, including Brother Ning and Xiaohu, in just a few seconds.

The remaining Achao rushed forward another two steps, but his momentum had completely vanished, and he stopped sheepishly, not daring to move.

On the other side, Xiao Ning, who had been smashed onto the sofa, only just climbed up while clutching his chest, his eyes now filled with fear.

What kind of background did this guy have? That kind of movement was simply not something an ordinary person could perform; he even felt that the person opposite him was like one of those martial arts masters in the movies.

Fear gripped his heart, and he subconsciously reached his hand out toward the sofa behind him.

Li Chenchen's mouth curled up, his smile becoming even more mocking as he spread his hands and said,

"Why so serious?"
