“Class reunion, everyone gathering together. After so many years, there should at least be some affection left, right?”
“You bloody put Luo Chen in the corner to sit, and left him out in the cold. How the hell could you do that?” Wang Fei was furious. He pointed at Xu Wenbing’s nose and cursed.
“And all of you, every single one of you is a snob. I, Wang Fei, am ashamed to be your classmate. What? Just because Xu Wenbing is doing well now, you all flock to him. You think Luo Chen is doing badly, so you ignore him completely?”
“Misunderstanding, Brother Fei, it’s all a misunderstanding. He, he is just too low-key.” Xu Wenbing quickly raised his glass to apologise.
“Wang Fei, Brother Fei, look, can this still be fixed?”
“Fix your arse. Since Luo Chen came here today, this matter could have been settled with just a few words. Now, if it were you, would you still be willing?”
“Also, yes, we are classmates, that’s true. But since you insist on ignoring classmate bonds and dividing people into ranks, sorry, what are you lot even worth? Do you think you can climb up to that level?”
“From today onwards, we are no longer classmates. Don’t contact me again. Goodbye!” Wang Fei left as well. He simply walked out without looking back.
After Wang Fei left, Xu Wenbing and the others looked at each other in silence. Especially Xu Wenbing, whose face was already burning red.
A perfect opportunity, something that was almost guaranteed, was lost just because of his arrogance and looking down on Luo Chen.
“Xiaoman, are you okay?” Xiao Lin comforted her from the side, because Zhang Xiaoman’s makeup was already ruined from crying.
She was the one who regretted it the most.
In the past, she thought Luo Chen was inferior to Chen Chao in every way. But now?
The facts proved that Chen Chao was the one inferior to Luo Chen in every way!
Moreover, she knew even better that a rich young master like Chen Chao was only interested in her for now. Once he got bored, he might dump her.
But Luo Chen had always treated her with genuine sincerity before!
The intense regret made Zhang Xiaoman’s entire body tremble uncontrollably.
“I’m fine.” Zhang Xiaoman forced herself to speak, and Xiao Lin did not say anything more. In fact, she was regretting it a lot now too.
A net worth of several hundred million. Luo Chen was truly astonishing. Compared to Luo Chen, what was Xu Wenbing even worth?
If she had known Luo Chen was so understated and low-key back in university, how could she have chosen Xu Wenbing?
When she thought about how she had just offered him two thousand yuan, her face burned with shame.
Xu Wenbing gave a bitter laugh, then looked awkwardly at everyone. This was entirely his own fault.
He had thought he was doing well enough. After all, less than a year out of school, he already had his own company, so he felt qualified to show off in front of others.
But now, compared to that person, what was he worth?
After Wang Fei caught up with Luo Chen, he apologised to him for a long time, because the whole thing started because of him. However, Luo Chen did not blame Wang Fei.
Luo Chen told Wang Fei to go first and handle the project matters, while he planned to leave on his own.
He walked out of the restaurant. Downstairs was a bar, but of course Luo Chen had no intention of going in to sit. He planned to leave directly.
However, at that moment, four young thugs with brightly dyed hair came out, dragging a girl along.
The girl looked only about sixteen or seventeen years old. She was still underage.
The thugs dragged the girl into an alley across the street.
It was obvious what they intended to do. Anyone who was not blind could see it.
Under normal circumstances, Luo Chen would not want to get involved in such matters.
But after just experiencing the coldness of human relationships, he suddenly felt a twinge of compassion.
So Luo Chen followed them.
“Let me go, let me go.” The girl had already been forced to drink so much that she was dizzy and could not tell north from south.
It had to be said, the little girl was indeed very pretty, almost at the level of a school beauty. She was dressed very provocatively, especially those long, straight, snow-white legs. She was definitely a stunning beauty.
“Hey, picking up a corpse tonight, and we actually found a top-quality one. Brothers, let’s take turns!” One thug with yellow teeth, cigarette in mouth, said with a lecherous grin.
“Hehe, still a student girl. So fresh and tender!” Another thug reached out to take off the little girl’s clothes.
The little girl tried to resist, but the alcohol had drained her strength. With a ripping sound, most of her clothes were torn apart in an instant.
The girl suddenly shivered, and the alcohol sobered her up quite a bit.
“What are you doing? Let me go, let me go.” The little girl had never seen anything like this. She was terrified, her face full of panic.
The thug looked excited and reached out again. If he tore once more, the girl’s clothes would probably be completely ripped off.
The little girl’s eyes filled with tears, showing despair and fear.
But at that moment, by chance, a hand grabbed the thug’s outstretched paw.
The thug saw his hand being held. He turned around, saw Luo Chen, and immediately flared with anger.
“Mind your own bloody business. Looking to die, are you?”
Luo Chen did not answer the thug. He simply applied a little force. Suddenly, a pig-slaughtering scream echoed through the alley.
“Pain, pain, big brother, big brother, let go first, ah, it’s going to break, big brother.”
Another thug saw his companion being subdued. With a vicious look, he pulled out a butterfly knife and stabbed it towards Luo Chen.
Luo Chen did not even dodge. He directly grabbed the sharp butterfly knife, then kicked hard into the thug’s crotch.
Another heart-wrenching scream rang out. The thugs were now truly frightened. They no longer cared about anything else. They abandoned their rolling companion on the ground and ran away.
Luo Chen looked at the little girl lying on the ground. She looked about seventeen or eighteen, probably a high school student.
But right now, she was so scared that she was stunned.
There is a saying about doing good to the end. If he left her here, something else might happen later.
However, looking at the drunken little girl, Luo Chen frowned. He simply picked her up. There happened to be a tap nearby. He placed the girl’s head under the tap and rinsed it.
The little girl originally wanted to struggle, but seeing how fierce Luo Chen was, she could only cry.
After rinsing for a while and seeing that the girl was fully sober, Luo Chen finally stopped.
Looking at the trembling little girl, Luo Chen took off his jacket and threw it to her. The girl awkwardly picked up the jacket from the ground and draped it over herself.
“Sober now? Don’t come to places like this again in the future. This is not somewhere you should be.” With that, Luo Chen took out his wallet, dropped two hundred yuan, and left.
“Wait, what’s your name?” The little girl suddenly called out from behind.
“We won’t meet again anyway. No need to know each other.” Luo Chen left those words and walked away.
The little girl watched Luo Chen’s back. A strange look flashed in her eyes. After a long while, she still picked up the two hundred yuan, then hailed a taxi and went back to school.
On the other side, inside a military-green jeep, a man and a woman, both wearing black suits, looked extremely sharp and capable.
“Boss, the higher-ups said the person introduced by the Ye family is called Luo Chen. I checked his file. He’s only in his early twenties. Does he really have that much ability?” The man asked in a tone full of disbelief.
“You’ll know once you meet him, won’t you?” The woman replied.
“Fine. Once I meet him, I’ll test his skills. I refuse to believe he’s as legendary as they say. Otherwise, all these years of training in the army would have been for nothing?” He had undergone systematic formal training and looked down the most on flashy show-offs from society.
