Chapter 533: 0534 Bai Xiong Takes Action (First Update)

The appearance of the strange man startled Shen Mengchen.

Having faced numerous dangers, Shen Mengchen was not unfamiliar with that sinister gaze, which seemed to carry malintent mixed with conspiratorial purposes.

"Excuse me, please step aside," Shen Mengchen maintained her composure, pretending as if nothing was amiss, perhaps the man in front of her didn’t recognize her.

"Shen Mengchen, Chairman of Longjia Group, target number one!" The stranger sneered.

"Who are you?" Shen Mengchen unconsciously stepped back two steps, her heart sinking, as she quickly glanced left and right to see if there was anyone else around to help.

The strange man sneered, "Even if there were people, no one could rescue you. Just come with me quietly."

"In your dreams!" Shen Mengchen smashed her bag forcefully at the strange man and turned to flee.

With a casual wave of his hand, the man sliced her expensive designer bag in two with a burst of energy.

Seeing this, Shen Mengchen felt chilled to the bone and wanted to run towards the carpark quickly.

"You can’t escape!" The strange man’s figure flashed, and in an instant, he appeared right in front of Shen Mengchen.

Shen Mengchen displayed a look of despair, finding this man terrifyingly fast.

"I told you to come with me willingly, but you refused. It seems I have to knock you out first," the strange man swung his arm, and Shen Mengchen felt the world spinning, her body suddenly going limp.

The strange man smiled, hoisting Shen Mengchen up, ready to leave the area.

Suddenly!

His stepping foot halted instantly, his gaze slowly lifting to see a tall man standing in his path, looking at him with interest.

"Get lost," the strange man snapped, infuriated by someone obstructing his path, clearly a foolhardy quest to play the hero.

"Put her down," Bai Xiong said flatly.

"You’re seeking death," the strange man grew furious, this person dared to command him, considering his own strength as a True Qi master, not many dared speak to him that way.

"The one seeking death is you!" Bai Xiong’s figure surged forward, striding like a swooping eagle.

The strange man’s eyes stiffened, sensing the man before him might not be as simple as he appeared. Could he be Shen Mengchen’s bodyguard?

Besides Ye Qiu, does Shen Mengchen have such a skilled bodyguard close to her?

The strange man hadn’t anticipated this situation, but with Shen Mengchen already in his grip, he naturally wouldn’t hand her over easily, translating to failure, and this man was crucial for drawing out Ye Qiu.

Whoosh!

A palm strike came, the strange man dodged swiftly, but he forgot he was still carrying Shen Mengchen, which affected his speed. Bai Xiong’s palm missed but turned the action into a slicing strike, swirling back in a horizontal cut.

Extremely fast!

The strange man shuddered internally, unable to dodge this strike, and met it forcefully with a palm of his own.

The two attacks collided instantaneously.

Boom...

The air vibrated, hair flying wildly.

The strange man’s palm visibly snapped backwards with a crack.

Rip, rip...

A gut-wrenching pain erupted from his palm, the strange man’s eyes widened, not expecting his palm would break under the opponent’s move. His fingers were severed, and had it not been for the skin holding them, they would have flown off.

This power...

The strange man had no time to marvel, as Bai Xiong’s next Black Tiger Heart Plucking Palm landed before he could react.

With a thud, the strange man’s body jolted back, Shen Mengchen tumbling from his grasp. Bai Xiong swung his arm, catching Shen Mengchen and setting her down on the ground.

"Why did you save her?" the stranger felt as if his internal organs had been shattered by the tall man’s palm strike, and was horrified to discover that the other’s strength seemed to surpass the realm of True Qi, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been possible to severely injure him with one move.

He could not understand why such a skilled fighter would save Shen Mengchen.

"You have no right to ask me. If you want to know why, the young master will tell you," Bai Xiong said as he grasped the stranger’s hand, rendering him unable to resist. Any more struggle would damage his internal organs, so he could only allow Bai Xiong to lift him up.

"Young master, who is your young master?" the stranger asked, bewildered.

"You talk too much." Bai Xiong slapped the stranger hard, knocking him out with the powerful blow.

Looking at the stranger in his hand, Bai Xiong muttered to himself, "The young master indeed had foresight, guessing that someone would try to harm his close ones. This is the first task I’ve done for the young master, and luckily, I didn’t disappoint him."

Bai Xiong carried the stranger with one hand and stuffed him into the car, then carried Shen Mengchen into the vehicle and drove away quickly.

...

"Liu Hu, are you alright?" Lan Bing asked as he supported Liu Hu, his voice filled with concern.

Liu Hu shook his head. "I’m alright. That person just now was very strong. Luckily, Meng Ge gave me this, otherwise, things could have gotten dangerous."

Lan Bing also felt the leftover fear, unsure why that person had targeted him.

Liu Hu put away the firearm and tucked it behind his waist. "It seems someone is after you. Who did you offend? That person clearly was a trained fighter."

Lan Bing shook his head. "I’m not sure. Logically, my Lan family doesn’t have any enemies. Why would he come after me like that, targeting me specifically?"

With many questions in his mind, Liu Hu didn’t dare let Lan Bing go home alone, fearing another powerful foe. Thus, he escorted him back home, and they discussed the matter with Lan Bing’s father, Lan Xiaosheng. Even Lan Xiaosheng could not figure out who might hold a grudge against them, and could only advise Lan Bing to be more careful when going out.

...

Zhongshan University, in the woods outside the campus.

"Qinqin, who did you ask me to wait for here? All so secretive!" Chu Yao said, her face showing displeasure, not understanding what Zhang Qinqin was up to, insisting on bringing her here to meet someone.

"It’s to solve your lifelong issue, of course," Zhang Qinqin chuckled.

Chu Yao turned her head, starting to walk away, but Zhang Qinqin quickly pulled her back. "Yaoyao, don’t be in such a hurry to leave. I introduced our school’s most handsome guy to you to help you forget that person."

"Look, here he comes!" Zhang Qinqin pointed, and a young man about 1.8 meters tall with a sunny smile appeared before them.

Chu Yao slightly shook her head. "I’d rather not."

"The quickest and best way to forget someone is to fall in love with someone else," Zhang Qinqin encouraged.

"Trust me, it’s sound logic," she chuckled cheekily and quickly introduced him. "Chu Yao, this is Gao Ming; he’s our neighbor."

"I’m Gao Ming, nice to meet you, Chu Yao." Gao Ming extended his hand, his demeanor warm and inviting, truly giving a good impression.

"Chu Yao." She extended her hand, their fingers briefly touched, then quickly withdrew.

"Let’s not be a third wheel here!" Zhang Qinqin hurriedly made herself scarce, leaving the two awkwardly standing there.

"Why don’t we take a walk?" Gao Ming suggested.

Chu Yao looked down and murmured, "Okay."

The two strolled through the woods, spotting many couples holding hands and whispering sweet nothings under the trees.

"Are you Chu Yao?" Just then, a voice questioned from behind them.

"Hmm? And you are?"

Chu Yao looked at the strange man in front of her, her expression puzzled.

The strange man suddenly revealed a sinister grin. "Target number two is you."
