Chapter 233: Interlude

Chen Yongren never imagined that, even as a street loafer, he could encounter a duke.

Since they've already come to him for help, given this identity, not helping would be inexcusable.

For now, the concession is still ruled by this bunch of white pigs.

If he could get to know a noble ahead of time—especially a titled noble—and build a good relationship, it would also have an unexpected impact on his future prospects.

Of course, it would also be an excellent talisman!

However, at this moment, the few white men chasing Xia Lin have already surrounded them.

"Kid, keep your distance."

"Get lost now, this has nothing to do with you!"

"Now isn't the time for you to play the hero; mind your own business."

……

Seeing Chen Yongren apparently trying to intervene, the few white men immediately shouted at him.

"I don't know them!" Xia Lin immediately shook her head, hastily jumped out of the car, and hid behind Chen Yongren: "They want to kidnap me; don't hand me over to them!"

At this moment, she couldn't worry about that either.

She had originally wanted to sneakily take a car out for a joyride.

Even if the car was hard to drive, that would be fine, but barely after she got out, she was targeted by a local business rival.

Chen Yongren didn't waste words; he just crooked his finger at them.

"All together!"

The lead white pig didn't hesitate, immediately pulling out a wooden stick hidden behind him and swinging it at Chen Yongren's head.

The other few white men also drew their wooden sticks and charged at Chen Yongren.

"Get down!"

Chen Yongren quickly retreated to the wall, saying without looking back.

Hearing Chen Yongren's words, Xia Lin didn't hesitate and decisively crouched down.

When facing multiple opponents, the biggest taboo is exposing one's back to the enemy.

Just as the stick was about to smash into Chen Yongren, he suddenly lowered his body, gathered power in his right hand, and punched the leader in the abdomen.

That white pig let out a painful groan, clutched his abdomen and collapsed to the ground, the wooden stick in his hand falling as well.

Seeing people approaching from both sides, Chen Yongren quickly grabbed the wooden stick and viciously struck the shins of the two on either side.

Two cracking sounds rang out in succession, and another two white men clutched their shins, collapsed to the ground, and wailed in pain.

The remaining few white men tried to use their numerical advantage to rush forward and tackle Chen Yongren.

Before they could get close, Chen Yongren quickly lowered his body and lunged forward, first executing a body slam that threw one white man to the ground, then raising the wooden stick and dealing a heavy blow to his head.

A muffled "thud" sounded.

The unfortunate fellow on the ground immediately passed out.

The two white men behind him had already raised their wooden sticks to strike.

Chen Yongren quickly rose to his feet, immediately followed by a spinning back kick that sent another white man flying.

That man only felt his body go light, he flew backward, hit the wall before stopping, then slid along the wall to the ground, unconscious.

The last remaining white man was completely frightened stupid; he never imagined Chen Yongren could fight so well.

Chen Yongren delivered a high whip kick, directly knocking him to the ground.

Before long, those few white men were easily dealt with by Chen Yongren.

Xia Lin looked at Chen Yongren in astonishment; she never expected that a random passerby she'd grabbed could fight so well.

Just as she was astonished, she suddenly saw another person climb up from the ground, holding a wooden stick, swinging it toward her.

"Die, you filthy woman!"

Seeing this guy grit his teeth and grin nastily, Xia Lin instinctively covered her head, crouched on the ground and curled her body.

If that stick landed solidly, even the lightest outcome would be a concussion.

Xia Lin let out only a muffled grunt; when she lifted her head again, she saw an arm blocking her front.

The owner of that arm was Chen Yongren.

In order to win more favor from this little foreign girl, Chen Yongren also deliberately took that blow.

Since it's about saving a beauty.

Besides making the target feel grateful, the most important thing is to induce a bit of guilt and pity.

Anyway, for the body-strengthened Chen Yongren, this blow is no different from a tickle.

Next second.

Chen Yongren kicked out again, directly kicking him onto the street.

Having dealt with those guys, Chen Yongren sized up Xia Lin.

After sizing up Xia Lin, he found that this little foreign girl's appearance was indeed not bad; she resembled a certain namesake Princess Xia Lin from later generations, even down to her blond short hair.

It's like a younger PLUS version of Princess Xia Lin.

In short, it's just one sentence: her legs are long, front thrust and rear lifted, beauty bubbling over.

Upon meeting Chen Yongren's gaze head-on, Xia Lin finally reacted with a start, exclaimed, and hurriedly hugged his arm: "Are you okay? I'll immediately drive you to the hospital for a check-up!"

"It's fine." Chen Yongren slightly shook his head, deliberately saying: "We should still call the police station first, so they…"

As he was speaking, Chen Yongren pointed to the right side of the road: "The police are coming!"

Following the direction of Chen Yongren's finger, a middle-aged steward, leading a group of police, hurried over; seeing Xia Lin safe and unharmed, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly walked to her side.

"Miss, it's wonderful that you're unharmed."

Seeing a strange man standing beside Xia Lin, Panniwo also did not rashly reveal her identity.

Pan Niwosi looked at the white person lying on the ground and directly told those constables: "Arrest everyone, take them back to the constable office!"

Immediately, he then turned his gaze toward Chen Yongren.

Since it involved a foreigner, the constables dared not delay, all busying themselves.

"Just now it was him who saved me; if not for him, I might have already been kidnapped." Seeing Pan Niwosi's unfriendly gaze, Xia Lin explained.

One person actually took down so many people? Pan Niwosi was somewhat surprised, and slightly bowed to Chen Yongren: "Thank you very much for saving my young lady."

Rest assured, we will definitely thank you properly.

Xia Lin seemed to recall something: "By the way, I still don't know your name."

"Mai Ke·Ke Li Ang." Chen Yongren, without blushing or hesitation, made up a new name.

Since opening a small account under the godfather alias, it's only natural to have a matching name.

"Mai Ke·Ke Li Ang?" Xia Lin looked Chen Yongren up and down: "Ke Li Ang Town? Are you of Italian mixed blood?"

Taking a closer look, this guy named Mai Ke indeed looks like a mixed-blood person.

This foreign girl is really not simple; a randomly made-up name, she actually knows the origin of the surname.

"My great-grandfather was Italian." Chen Yongren casually made up: "I indeed lived in Ke Li Ang Town as a child, and later, due to some changes, I moved to Songhu."

"Nice to meet you, Mai Ke." Xia Lin also didn't think much, happily extending her hand: "You can call me Xia Lin from now on."

Chen Yongren also shook hands.

Pan Niwosi seemed worried that Xia Lin might encounter danger again, politely thanked Chen Yongren once more, left a 500-pound check, and then took Xia Lin away.

Before leaving, Xia Lin actually left Chen Yongren a phone number.

Chen Yongren also didn't expect to close the relationship in one go; having the phone number, there will be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future.
