Chapter 216: I Want to Fight You

"Fine, if you don't want to go, then don't. I only rushed over because I received a tip-off from an informant," Ren Zhenghao said.

"Really? That's great," Chen Yu said with delight. "Then thank you, Captain Ren. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

"What's the rush? I'd like to buy you a drink," Ren Zhenghao said.

"To thank me?" Chen Yu was slightly taken aback.

"Not entirely. I just want to get to know you a bit and see what it is that Ruoxue actually likes about you," Ren Zhenghao said with a sullen face.

"That seems unnecessary. Some people's charm is innate," Chen Yu said, shaking his head.

"That won't do. I don't think you're as charming or as handsome as I am," Ren Zhenghao said, shaking his head. "If you've got the guts, follow me."

"You want to fight me?" Chen Yu glanced at Ren Zhenghao. "Pardon my bluntness, but you can't beat me."

"How do you know if you don't try?" Ren Zhenghao grinned.

At a boxing club, Ren Zhenghao changed into a boxing vest and gloves.

"Are we really doing this?" Chen Yu glanced at Ren Zhenghao; it seemed this guy was extremely jealous.

"Since you're already here, let's spar a bit," Ren Zhenghao said with a smile.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to take a single punch from me," Chen Yu laughed.

"Don't say that, Chen Yu. I've been the police force boxing champion for three consecutive years," Ren Zhenghao said, full of confidence.

"Captain Ren is here!" someone on the side shouted, and a group of people immediately crowded around.

Ren Zhenghao came to this place often, so he was very familiar with the staff and customers here, and he was also undefeated in this club.

"Haha, someone is challenging Captain Ren again."

"This young man must not know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is."

"Captain Ren is a three-time police combat champion; where does he get the confidence to challenge Captain Ren?"

Chen Yu discovered that Ren Zhenghao was practically a god-like existence here; he was handsome and strong, and many of the club's young female fans had stars in their eyes when they saw him.

"Are you ready?" Ren Zhenghao asked while warming up.

"I'm ready anytime, but are you really going to fight me?" Chen Yu looked at Ren Zhenghao, feeling somewhat speechless.

"Why do you have so much nonsense to say?" Ren Zhenghao frowned.

"Then... if I hit you now, does it count as assaulting an officer?" Chen Yu asked.

"Go ahead, it doesn't count as assaulting an officer. Our status is the same right now; you are just a simple challenger," Ren Zhenghao said, clashing his fists together.

"A challenger? I'm challenging you?" Chen Yu was puzzled.

"You probably don't know yet, but our Captain Ren is the club's boxing king," a staff member said proudly. "Our shop holds a boxing match every month, and he is the champion every time."

"So, since you're fighting Captain Ren now, you're the challenger."

"I'm afraid the 'boxing king' title here is a bit watered down," Chen Yu said, feeling a mix of amusement and frustration. "Later, I'll take you to a place where it's actually interesting to spar."

"Enough talk, come on." Ren Zhenghao clashed his fists together and took a stance.

"Then I won't hold back," Chen Yu said with a serious expression.

"No need to hold back," Ren Zhenghao said, staring at Chen Yu. "I won't show any mercy either."

"Fine, come on." Chen Yu nodded, put on his gloves, and held his hands behind his back.

"Handsome Ren, go!" a girl screamed, and the crowd cheered for him as if Ren Zhenghao had already won the match.

"Watch out." Ren Zhenghao let out a "whoosh" and threw a punch at Chen Yu.

This guy really did have some skills. He was a police academy graduate and was proficient in all forms of combat and free-fighting; otherwise, he wouldn't have become the new generation's police star in Fengling.

But while his skills were indeed good for catching criminals, they were a bit weak when pitted against Chen Yu.

Ren Zhenghao's punch was indeed delivered with all his might. This guy was very confident in his own strength and, treating Chen Yu as a romantic rival, he put a great deal of power into this strike.

"Captain Ren, go!"

"Take him down!"

Before the punch even landed, the crowd began to scream and cheer.

As for Ren Zhenghao's punch, Chen Yu truly didn't take it seriously at all.

As the punch came over, Chen Yu threw a punch of his own, striking Ren Zhenghao in the chest, and Ren Zhenghao was sent flying by Chen Yu's single blow.

Thump! Ren Zhenghao flew backward several meters, his body slamming heavily into the guardrail, only to bounce back.

In an instant, the entire boxing arena fell silent.

Ren Zhenghao lay on the ground with difficulty, panting heavily. He was unconvinced; how could Chen Yu do this? How could he knock him out with a single punch?

This was impossible. He was the best fighter in the club, as well as a free-fighting champion and a combat champion, but how did Chen Yu manage to send him flying with one punch?

"Go back and practice hard, really," Chen Yu said solemnly. He took off his gloves, tossed them aside, and left.

After a long while, Ren Zhenghao finally climbed up with difficulty and then left in a rage under the incredulous gazes of the crowd.

He wasn't feeling resentful, because Chen Yu's punch had made him accept defeat, and it was precisely this punch that made him realize the gap between himself and Chen Yu.

"Mr. Chen, this is Zhou Qi." Just after leaving the boxing gym, a call came through from a woman.

"Zhou Qi?" Chen Yu was slightly taken aback. She was the new vice president of his Jiyun, transferred from the Lin family after the previous vice president, Wu Qiang, stepped down.

It was shameful to say, but although he was the boss of the company, he had almost never asked about company affairs.

"Haha, President Chen, you wouldn't happen to not know who your company's vice president is, would you?" Zhou Qi laughed.

"I know," Chen Yu said, feeling a bit awkward. "But you've been in office for so long, and I haven't been to the company yet. I'm truly sorry."

"It's fine. When I was transferred here, President Lin told me about the situation. Now the company's performance is steadily rising, and your wife deserves much of the credit," Zhou Qi laughed.

"Is she still working that hard?" Chen Yu was slightly stunned.

"Yes, your wife is the hardest worker I've ever seen," Zhou Qi said. "The few big orders the company signed recently were all secured by her. She is also very reliable in her work, and the Contracts under her have almost no issues."

"Coupled with her outstanding work performance recently, I announced today that she is being promoted to general manager."

"You promoted her to general manager?" Chen Yu was quite surprised.

"Yes, is there a problem, President Chen?" Zhou Qi asked.

"Can she handle this workload?" Chen Yu asked with some concern.

"President Chen, you can rest assured about that. After being promoted to general manager, she won't be running around for business anymore. It was precisely because I saw her running around to secure orders and working too hard that I worried she couldn't take it, which is why I made this decision."

"Moreover, her work ability is outstanding, and she is fully capable of handling this position. I think that after some time, she will be completely ready to take on the role of vice president," Zhou Qi said with a smile.

"That's good, thank you for considering her." Chen Yu felt a little relieved; Zhou Qi was quite reliable in how she did things.

"Alright then, I just wanted to report the work to you, President Chen. You are busy, so I won't disturb you any further," Zhou Qi said.

"Alright, thank you for the trouble. I'll treat you to a meal later," Chen Yu said with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yu felt somewhat melancholy; his relationship with Ye Xinyu was becoming increasingly tense, and he didn't know when it would ease.

Just after hanging up the phone, Yun Yi's phone call came through. Chen Yu was slightly stunned; his father should be with her right now, so why was she calling so late?

"Xiaoyu, your father isn't feeling well, and we are almost at the Fengling People's Hospital now," Yun Yi said anxiously as soon as the call connected.
