Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City
Chapter 310: Uphold Justice

Chapter 310: Chapter 310: Uphold Justice

The people around, seeing the situation, all got up and scattered to the sides.

A little girl looked at the seven or eight burly men, tugged at the clothes of the middle-aged man beside her with a fearful face, and said, "Daddy, those people are really fierce, won’t you go help that big brother?"

The middle-aged man quickly covered the little girl’s mouth and said, "Silly girl, if you encounter such a thing in the future, you mustn’t act rashly to help, or you’ll suffer the consequences too."

The little girl looked puzzled, "But, teacher said we should help when someone is being bullied, isn’t helping others a traditional virtue of ours?"

The middle-aged man said helplessly, "Those are just virtues from the textbooks. In today’s society, the cost of helping others is too high. If you try to help, it’s easy to be scammed for money. Did you forget how a classmate’s dad helped an old man who had fallen over, only to be blamed by the old man insisting he was pushed? That ended up costing them tens of thousands. When there’s no good deed that goes unpunished, it’s best that we don’t do good deeds, especially for ordinary families like us who can’t afford to be swindled."

The little girl seemed to understand but didn’t really. Nevertheless, she nodded her head and took refuge behind the middle-aged man, no longer suggesting to help.

A few young men full of vigor watched this scene and immediately felt the urge to step in and do something about it.

One of the young men said, "Damn, these people are too despicable; let’s go help that guy."

His companions, faces filled with anger, agreed with the suggestion.

However, as they were about to step forward, a middle-aged woman stopped them.

"Young men, I know you are kindhearted and can’t stand injustice, but please don’t be foolish. It’s better not to get involved in things that have nothing to do with you; otherwise, you’ll suffer the consequences. My husband once saw a thief stealing and stepped forward to stop it. The thief, cornered, pulled out a knife and stabbed him. In desperation, my husband knocked out the thief with a punch, and the thief ended up with a severe concussion. Our family didn’t just lose money, but my husband was also jailed for over a year. So, please don’t act on impulse!"

The young men, upon hearing this, felt their righteous ardor extinguished almost completely; they fell silent and stopped talking about going to help.

Chen Fan’s attention wasn’t on the seven or eight burly men, but on the reactions of everyone around him.

He heard the little girl’s father’s words, and the middle-aged woman’s words as well, he couldn’t help but reflect on the current state of society.

When someone needed help, it’s not that people didn’t want to lend a hand, but the cost of acting righteously nowadays was just too expensive, causing those initially kind-hearted individuals to hesitate.

The seven or eight burly men surrounded Chen Fan.

The ringleader said menacingly, "You don’t know what’s good for you, daring to touch our bro. If we don’t make you kneel and beg for mercy today, then we’ve been living for nothing!"

At that moment, the little girl couldn’t hold back anymore and shouted out loud, "You bad people, Justice Superman will come and teach you a lesson!"

The burly men all turned to look over.

The middle-aged man’s face changed dramatically, and he quickly shielded the little girl behind him, nervously saying, "Big brothers, my daughter doesn’t know any better, please don’t take it to heart."

Then he scolded the little girl, "What did I tell you! Is this kind of business ours to handle? Don’t make trouble for me!"

The little girl’s face was filled with upset, and she burst into tears.

The seven or eight burly men all laughed loudly.

The ringleader looked at the little girl and said, "You little brat, I’ll show you today with my own actions that in this world, there’s no such thing as a Justice Superman!"

After speaking, he swung a wine bottle towards Chen Fan’s head.

The others also started to act, none of them hesitated.

The surrounding crowd just shook their heads, all thinking that Chen Fan, if he didn’t die today, would likely spend his life in a hospital bed.

But the next second, they saw Chen Fan’s figure leap like a specter among the burly men, his fists landing on their bodies, the men barely able to react.

Even the little girl, who was still crying loudly, couldn’t help but widen her eyes in astonishment at the scene.

In just a few breaths, the burly men were all laid out on the ground.

Chen Fan twisted the Hand Gestures, invisible rays of light entering these men’s minds, turning into spikes that began to torment their spirits.

"Don’t you think it’s too much to treat a little girl like this? Apologize to her!" Chen Fan shouted.

The strong men were facing torment that was worse than death, their expressions almost distorted, and they didn’t dare to defy Chen Fan’s command. They immediately started to apologize to the little girl.

"We’re sorry, we’re sorry, we were wrong. We shouldn’t have said that there is no Justice Superman in this world."

Chen Fan then turned to Jian Wen and said, "Apologize to her too."

Immediately, the group turned to Jian Wen, begging, "We’re sorry, we deserve to die. We shouldn’t have targeted you, we were wrong, we’re not human, please spare us!"

Chen Fan then lifted his mental assault and shouted, "Get lost!"

The group scrambled away, pee running down their legs.

The onlookers were all dumbfounded by this scene, never expecting Chen Fan to be so powerful.

Jian Wen walked over angrily, watching the tough men flee, and said, "Big Brother Chen Fan, those people are nothing but scum of society. You let them off too easily, really letting them get away with it."

Chen Fan smiled and said, "In half an hour, they will start having convulsions, their bodies will become stiff, and for the rest of their lives, they won’t be able to move. I just didn’t want these people to affect the business of the barbecue stall too much."

Jian Wen’s eyes lit up, and she said with a smile, "Big Brother Chen Fan, you’re awesome!"

Chen Fan smiled and turned to the little girl.

He squatted down, wiped her tears away, and said with a smile, "There might not be a Justice Superman in this world, but there is definitely justice. You were very brave just now. Promise me that you will also hold on to this justice in the future, okay?"

The little girl nodded earnestly, "Mhm!"

The little girl’s father and many others around felt a mix of admiration and shame, rising from the depths of their hearts.

Chen Fan patted the little girl on the shoulder, then stood up and showed a smile to the crowd, "What you all did was not wrong, just try not to be too pessimistic. It’s true that the social atmosphere is not good, but that’s precisely why it’s all the more necessary to uphold justice."

People nodded in agreement.

Chen Fan went back to Jian Wen.

Jian Wen said with a sense of self-blame, "Today’s incident is also my fault."

Chen Fan patted her on the head and said, "You’re wrong to think like that. The only ones to blame are those people with evil in their hearts. It has nothing to do with what you wear."

Hearing this from Chen Fan, Jian Wen immediately felt a tremendous fondness for him.

"Big Brother Chen Fan, you’re really great. I’ll set you as the standard when I look for a boyfriend in the future!"

Chen Fan smiled and said nothing more.

The two continued to sit at the table, skewering and chatting.

After dinner, Chen Fan escorted Jian Wen home.

When he returned to the Shen Family, it was already ten o’clock at night.

As soon as he entered the compound, he heard an argument.

Shen Lingdie was sitting idly in the yard, but the moment she saw Chen Fan returning, she perked up, ran over, and said, "You’re finally back, I’ve been craving... oh no, missing you for a long time."

Chen Fan asked, "Is that your parents arguing?"

Shen Lingdie nodded, then pulled Chen Fan toward the room, saying, "Don’t worry about them. You must be thirsty coming back so late, let me pour you a glass of water."
