Chapter 104: Blasted Away with One Punch

Swish, swish, swish...

As Zhang Shouhang's voice rang out, everyone's gaze gathered toward him.

Zhang Shouhang emerged from the private room and walked slowly toward the center of the hall. After standing still beside Peng Hui and Qiao Ming, he glared at Chen Che and the other two with a grim, sinister expression.

"Are the Cheng Family and the Qian Family trying to turn the world upside down? You've only just received investment from Yanyu Group, and you're already in such a rush to form an alliance to deal with the Zhang Family?"

Zhang Shouhang sneered with disdain.

Qian Rongrong stared at Zhang Shouhang and said, "Zhang Shouhang, Mr. Chen is not someone you can provoke. If you let Peng Hui hurt him today, you will regret it for the rest of your life."

"Is that a warning or a threat?"

Zhang Shouhang found it laughable; it had been a long time since anyone in Shanghai dared to speak to him like that.

"It is a reminder." Qian Rongrong was expressionless.

"Ridiculous. In Shanghai, there is no one I, Zhang Shouhang, have ever feared!"

Zhang Shouhang then asked with curiosity: "However, I am very curious: how exactly did this man manage to bewitch you women so thoroughly that you are all protecting him one by one? Martial Dao talent? Or being the Divine Doctor's junior brother? These are not enough."

"And don't tell me he is the Divine Doctor's junior brother; even if Li Qingyan were here, I would not be afraid."

"Is that really so? Though, that's fair. In Shanghai, Young Master Zhang truly has no need to fear me."

Li Qingyan's voice came from the bar. Everyone looked over; she was sitting on a high stool, sipping a low-alcohol cocktail through a straw.

Zhang Shouhang was slightly surprised to see Li Qingyan. He hadn't seen her after arriving in the hall and had assumed she had left; he hadn't expected her to still be here.

"So the Divine Doctor Li is here. Since you heard, I won't hold back."

Zhang Shouhang's face was arrogant and overbearing as he said slowly: "You are the Divine Doctor, that is true. I was wary of you before because you have accumulated quite a lot of connections over the years."

"But I specifically investigated today. You have indeed treated members of many noble families, but your temperament is eccentric, and because of that, you haven't left a very good impression. You have even offended many scions of prestigious families."

"Therefore, you have no deterrent power in front of me now, and you cannot protect Chen Che. However, the Zhang Family will not make an enemy of you—provided, of course, that you stand by and watch."

"Don't worry, Young Master Zhang. I said it before: I am only here to watch the show, not to intervene—"

Li Qingyan let out a hiccup from the alcohol and continued:

"Besides, I only know Medicine; my Martial Dao Cultivation is not even as good as those two bodyguards just now. But the most important point is that I believe my junior brother will be fine, while you are going to take a huge tumble today—you might even end up with broken hands and feet. Let me say this first: if you end up with broken hands and feet, I will not help you treat your injuries!"

Zhang Shouhang let out a cold laugh and shouted angrily: "Hmph, very well! I want to see who ends up with broken hands and feet today!"

"Young Master Zhang is imposing; he doesn't even give the Divine Doctor any face!"

"Who in Shanghai dares to touch Young Master Zhang's bad side? Isn't that just asking for death!"

"It looks like we are going to lose a Martial Dao genius and a medical prodigy today!"

Among the onlookers, many were also wealthy scions from Shanghai. Most of them were Zhang Shouhang's lackeys, and their families relied on the Zhang Family as their pillar.

In their eyes, the hegemon of Shanghai had always been the Zhang Family, and it could only be the Zhang Family.

As for the Cheng Family and the Qian Family, although they had received investment from Yanyu Group, their original scale was limited. They could not amount to much in a short time, and the Zhang Family would not let them amount to anything!

Therefore, in their view, Qian Rongrong and Cheng Kexiang firmly protecting someone Zhang Shouhang hated was undoubtedly stupid.

As for Chen Che, they felt only pity in their hearts, sighing that he was unlucky to have provoked Zhang Shouhang.

Peng Hui glanced at Zhang Shouhang, and after receiving permission, he stepped forward, ready to strike at Chen Che again.

"Stop!"

A sharp shout and a beautiful figure arrived in succession.

"I am the Patrol Justice Commander! Who dares to make a move!"

Cheng Kexin had finished using the restroom and washed her face; her drunkenness had completely worn off. Only after coming out of the restroom did she see and hear what was happening in the hall.

Seeing that Peng Hui was about to strike, she immediately rushed over, revealed her identity as the Patrol Justice Commander, and spoke up to stop him.

Zhang Shouhang narrowed his eyes when he saw Cheng Kexin and sneered: "Cheng Kexin, your identity as Patrol Justice Commander is of no use today."

"First, you are wearing casual clothes and have no authority to exercise your power."

"Second, it was Chen Che who struck first; there is still one person on the wall who hasn't come down yet. See for yourself."

"Third, I was drinking and eating with your direct superior, Patrol Justice Department Director Du Chuan, just yesterday. Do you think you can stop me today?"

Cheng Kexin's mouth twitched, and she said: "Don't forget, I am also a Martial Artist now. Even if my Patrol Justice identity doesn't work, no matter how powerful Peng Hui's Ninth Grade strength is, if Chen Che and I join forces, it is not certain that we won't be able to beat him!"

"That makes sense; you've actually reminded me..."

Zhang Shouhang nodded as if it were a serious matter and pulled a pistol from his waistband. "But, what if you add me to the mix?"

Seeing the handgun, Cheng Kexin and the others were suddenly startled, and Chen Che also narrowed his eyes in vigilance.

Because he sensed the True Qi on the handgun; it was a True Qi Weapon!

"If you dare to intervene, I will shoot them. You know the power of a True Qi Weapon better than I do."

Zhang Shouhang pointed the muzzle at Qian Rongrong and Cheng Kexiang and smiled treacherously.

"You are despicable!" Cheng Kexin roared.

"Despicable? Hmph, I said it before: one day, you will kneel in front of me, begging me to take you!"

Zhang Shouhang's expression was ferocious as he said viciously: "I insist on breaking Chen Che's hands and feet right in front of you, letting you watch with your own eyes the miserable sight of your adulterer kneeling on the ground begging for mercy. Even so, it still wouldn't relieve even one-tenth of the anger and humiliation in my heart!"

"Furthermore, this is only the beginning of my revenge. I will first use Chen Che's head to wash away my shame, and then I will dismantle the Cheng Family bit by bit. So what if you got investment? Without three or five years, there will be no improvement. During this time, I will swallow up the Cheng Family and the Qian Family, and lock you all in my basement as slave bitches for me to vent on!"

"Young Master Zhang is mighty; that is what a real man is! Mr. Peng, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and make your move; let him know who really calls the shots in Shanghai!"

Seeing that the situation was looking great, Qiao Ming regained his arrogant, sycophantic posture and began barking like a dog.

Cheng Kexin's expression was ugly; she panted heavily, staring fixedly at Zhang Shouhang.

She knew very well that once that gun was fired, even she, now a Seventh Grade Martial Artist, would be severely wounded and fall to the ground, not to mention Cheng Kexin and Qian Rongrong!

Qian Rongrong and Cheng Kexiang stared at the pitch-black muzzle. Even from a distance of several meters, they could still feel the chill emanating from it. Their bodies could not help but tremble, and their hearts were filled with a cold dread.

But even so, they did not move aside, always shielding Chen Che.

Because, in their hearts, Chen Che was more important than their own lives!

Chen Che pushed aside Qian Rongrong and Cheng Kexiang, who were blocking him, and smiled at Cheng Kexin: "Don't worry, Senior Sister. It's just a mere Ninth Grade; I can blast him away with a single punch. Nothing will happen."

Whoa!

Chen Che's words instantly caused an uproar.

"Is this guy's brain broken? An Eighth Grade fighting a Ninth Grade, and he's going to blow him up with one punch?"

"He must have been scared silly and is talking nonsense."

"But the fact that he can get the beauties of the Cheng Family and the Qian Family to favor and protect him like this—hurry up and kill him, I can't accept this!"

The onlookers who were Zhang Shouhang's lackeys spoke up one after another to mock him; they all felt Chen Che was too arrogant and didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth!

Zhang Shouhang acted as if he had heard some huge joke, sneering mockingly: "Blow me up with one punch? Do you think you're One Punch Man?!"

"Heh, Mr. Peng, he doesn't put you in his eyes at all. Hurry up and kill him, let him know what real strength is!"

Qiao Ming also felt Chen Che was too arrogant, and since his own men had been crippled, he had to vent this anger!

Facing Chen Che's provocation, Peng Hui sneered disdainfully, stepped forward slowly, and said: "Kid, blow me up with one punch? It's been a long time since anyone was this arrogant. I will pull out your tongue and make you swallow it yourself!"

Peng Hui's figure paused, then he suddenly shot forward.

Chen Che dodged quickly to the side, luring Peng Hui to chase after him to avoid involving Cheng Kexiang and the others.

At the same time, Cheng Kexin also flashed in front of Cheng Kexiang and Qian Rongrong to protect them, confronting Zhang Shouhang who was holding a gun!
