"When did Jincheng see such powerful and beautiful female martial artists?" Duan Hongsheng was truly confused. At this moment, he even began to harbor some doubts about his brother Duan Rongxuan’s words.
"Miss Lin, Miss Qian, are you all right?" At this point, Zhou Xingxing and Zhao Pu also came out of the private room in succession.
Seeing the two stunning women had actually defeated five burly men, they were both slightly surprised.
Zhou Xingxing, in particular, had a flash of pleasant surprise in his eyes.
"We’re fine." Lin Ruonan quickly smiled when she saw the two men appear.
However, Qian Ziwei did not make a sound.
Zhou Xingxing didn’t take offense and stepped up to the side of the two women.
"How about it, still want to make a move?" Seeing Duan Hongsheng’s men defeated, Li Changlin’s face immediately broke into a mocking smile.
"What do you want!" This time, Duan Hongsheng had already lost his previous composure, and his expression also became grave.
"Didn’t he just tell you? It’s up to you whether to settle this publicly or privately." Lin Ruonan stepped next to Li Changlin, glared provocatively at Duan Hongsheng, and then turned her head towards Duan Rongxuan, "Your brother really needs to be disciplined. I’ve never seen someone so shameless and irresponsible!"
"Alright, beautiful lady, there’s no need to insult my brother any further." Duan Hongsheng felt incredibly aggrieved, but given the circumstances, he was stronger than others. Even though it was just a quick exchange, Duan Hongsheng already knew he was no match for Li Changlin.
And from the look of the fight just now, both women’s martial arts skills were no less than his own. If they were to continue to be confrontational, he’d still be the one at a disadvantage in the end.
So now it seemed there were only two options, to handle this matter publicly or privately.
But seeing the expression of the other party, they clearly didn’t care about escalating the situation, which probably meant they had strong backing. Taking this issue to the public realm clearly wasn’t the wise move.
After all, this incident was fundamentally Duan Rongxuan’s fault. Although his brother wouldn’t admit it, Duan Hongsheng was already starting to have his doubts.
"We’ll settle this privately!" After a long moment, Duan Hongsheng finally gritted his teeth and said with frustration.
Paying a compensation of one million wasn’t a big deal for him, it was just that swallowing this humiliation today was truly infuriating.
"Brother, I don’t agree!" Though still under Li Changlin’s control, Duan Rongxuan was apparently still quite stubborn. Despite the situation, he still refused to back down.
Li Changlin’s face turned cold; he immediately raised his hand to grasp Duan Rongxuan’s throat.
With force in his arm and his fingers tightening, Duan Rongxuan suddenly found it hard to breathe. His complexion went pale in an instant, and his body also became limp.
Duan Rongxuan coughed painfully, looking as if he could lose consciousness at any moment, his hands desperately tugging at Li Changlin’s fingers, but they couldn’t budge him in the slightest.
Seeing this, Duan Hongsheng’s face turned pale with fear. He had a deep brotherly bond with Duan Rongxuan, how could he stand to watch his own brother suffer .
"Stop, stop, sir, let’s talk this out reasonably, let’s talk this out. I agree, I agree to your demands!"
"Fine, I’ll give you this much face." Li Changlin snorted coldly, let go, and pushed Duan Rongxuan, causing him to fall to the ground.
As for such scum, there was no need for sympathy, and Li Changlin wasn’t worried about the other part running away.
Not to mention his own martial arts abilities, Lin Ruonan was also not someone to be taken lightly.
Moreover, Qian Ziwei was also calmly walking over at this time.
She was involved in this matter too, so naturally, she wouldn’t let Li Changlin and Lin Ruonan face it alone.
"Sir, please tell me your transfer account number, I’ll transfer the money to you right now." Duan Hongsheng was very wary of Li Changlin’s methods; he did not want any more complications and quickly produced his phone while speaking.
Li Changlin wasn’t afraid of any tricks, so he shared Lin Ruonan’s account number with him.
Since the compensation was for Lin Ruonan and Qian Ziwei, naturally Li Changlin wouldn’t use his own account.
Soon, Duan Hongsheng completed the transfer, Lin Ruonan also received the notification, and Li Changlin coldly glanced at Duan Rongxuan before turning to leave with Lin Ruonan and Qian Ziwei.
"How did it go, Changlin?" Seeing the trio returning, Zhou Xingxing hurried over to greet them.
"It’s done, they paid a million." Li Changlin said with a smile, nodding, and as he spoke, the group re-entered the private room.
"Changlin, those guys may be quite influential, so what do you think about us packing up and leaving?" Zhao Pu, having seen a lot, wasn’t afraid of trouble, but since Li Changlin and the others lived in Jincheng, he thought it was better to avoid trouble if possible — it wasn’t about being scared.
"It’s okay, this place belongs to the Long and Wang Families, they wouldn’t dare mess around." Li Changlin appreciated Zhao Pu’s concern, but leaving to avoid trouble wasn’t his style.
"Puge, you don’t have to worry, I’ll be staying in Jincheng for a while. If those people are foolish, I won’t just stand by," Li Changlin’s forthrightness was something that Zhou Xingxing really appreciated, and while saying so, he took out his phone.
"Ha, how could I forget about you." Hearing Zhou Xingxing speak, Zhao Pu was briefly taken aback before laughing wryly.
You see, Zhou Xingxing is a Master of the Transformation Realm, not someone average people could handle. In a small place like Jincheng, there likely weren’t any formidable figures, and Zhao Pu soon dismissed his concerns.
"Never thought, Li Changlin, that you could fight that well!" As everyone continued to eat, Qian Ziwei suddenly remembered something. "I heard from Ruonan that you were beaten up the other day. Does that mean that person is even more powerful than you?"
"That’s not about me being strong or not, it’s more that the other side was too weak." Li Changlin chuckled sheepishly, feeling quite frustrated when recalling the incident at Sky Horse Bar. That Peng Lianpeng had really beaten him up badly.
But fortunately, he managed to teach Peng Lianpeng a small lesson today.
Especially Jiang Xingwei, just thinking about that guy kneeling and apologizing in front of him made it hard for Li Changlin to contain his laughter.
It seems that Young Master Jiang from the Jiang Family is nothing special after all.
"By the way, why did no one from the restaurant come over when we caused such a commotion?" Lin Ruonan asked with a slight frown, puzzled.
Hearing her question, Li Changlin also pondered, while Zhou Xingxing laughed nonchalantly, "Isn’t that obvious? The people on that side must be someone that even the restaurant staff are afraid of, which is why no one stepped in."
"Possibly." Zhao Pu nodded, he had a fair understanding of the recent events, and if the restaurant knew the other party, it indeed would be inconvenient for them to get involved.
