The ball continued, but Luo Chen and Li Meizi, the focus of everyone’s attention, were no longer dancing. Instead, they sat to one side, chatting.
Yet pairs of fiery eyes kept scanning in their direction from time to time. Especially when Li Meizi covered her mouth and let out a soft, tinkling laugh, it drove many people to the extreme of jealousy.
Finally, Jiang Yihong approached them. He stood before Luo Chen and Li Meizi with affected elegance, then spoke.
“Where are you from, brother?”
“How come I have never seen you in this Yanjing circle before?”
Many people, seeing Jiang Yihong walk towards Luo Chen, naturally shifted their attention over as well.
Clearly, Jiang Yihong was definitely going to cause trouble.
So there would certainly be a good show to watch.
However, the awkward part was that he was directly ignored by Luo Chen, who showed no intention of paying him any attention at all.
After waiting a while, seeing that Luo Chen continued to talk with Li Meizi as if nothing had happened, Jiang Yihong finally could not save face. After all, he was a notorious young ruffian among Yanjing’s younger generation. How could he tolerate being ignored?
“Meizi, what is so good about this fellow?”
“Why must you insist on”
“Get lost!” Luo Chen suddenly spoke in a cold voice.
The scene instantly fell silent. Even the band stopped playing dance music.
This was the first time anyone had dared to say these words to Jiang Yihong!
And moreover, in the circle of Yanjing’s younger generation, saying this in front of everyone.
“What did you say?” Jiang Yihong could hardly believe it. In Yanjing, someone actually dared to speak to him like this.
Who was he?
He was the grandson of Jiang Nan, the second son of the Jiang family, possessing unimaginable influence in Yanjing.
There had been someone who offended him in the past. Not only did his grandfather cause that person’s family to be destroyed, but the survivor was forced to flee overseas.
That family had been somewhat well-known in Yanjing at the time.
Once, he had driven a car and killed someone. After getting out of the vehicle, he even resisted law enforcement. The incident caused a huge uproar and was condemned nationwide. Yet he was released the very next day.
These were just the matters on the surface. Behind the scenes, in recent years within this Yanjing circle, Jiang Yihong had caused the deaths of countless people who had displeased him.
Regardless of your background or status, even a member of the Shen family had nearly fallen into his hands.
If Elder Shen had not personally intervened to demand the person’s return, that individual might truly have died back then.
Such a ruthless character, and now someone actually dared to tell him to get lost?
“Get lost. Do you not understand human language?” Luo Chen spoke again.
Li Jiayi’s expression instantly changed. She abandoned Shen Junze and hurried over.
The expressions of the crowd also shifted. This fellow probably did not know who exactly stood before him, did he?
The Jiang family might not dare to claim to be the number one family in Yanjing, but they were undoubtedly a prominent and renowned Yanjing aristocratic house.
The Jiang family even retained an outsider as a Grandmaster.
A Grandmaster was a person of immense self-regard. If possible, such a figure could lead their own family towards prosperity and establish a vast clan.
How could they possibly deign to serve another family, acting as their enforcer?
After all, if one could achieve greatness independently, why become a dog under someone else’s command?
More importantly, this was a Grandmaster. How proud must such a person be?
Yet the Jiang family had accomplished this. One could see the terror of this family!
“Heh heh. Do you know who I am? And you tell me to get lost?” Jiang Yihong was so angry he laughed.
He had already made a phone call to arrange for people to come. He had not expected that someone about to die would still dare to treat him with such discourtesy!
To actually dare to tell him to get lost in public!
“What does that have to do with me?” Luo Chen gave a cold smile.
“Good, good, good. What spirit. What ability.”
“To dare to speak to me like this to my face. It is still not too late for you to notify your family to arrange your funeral affairs now!” Jiang Yihong suddenly spoke in an icy tone.
Upon hearing this, Li Jiayi’s face turned completely pale.
Shen Junze and the others also gradually grew serious in expression.
The expressions of everyone around changed as well.
In Jiang Yihong’s mouth, these words were absolutely not a threat or a joke.
Anyone who had been spoken to in this way by Jiang Yihong had truly died.
“Brother Junze, please go up and speak a word for Luo Chen,” Li Jiayi said with a hint of anxiety.
At this moment, only Shen Junze had the standing to go up and help Luo Chen out of this predicament.
“He is so arrogant himself. How can I speak for him?”
“The other party went up to greet him, yet he told them to get lost. So arrogant. This time he has kicked an iron plate. What can I say?” Shen Junze spoke coldly.
“But he does not know,” Li Jiayi said, so anxious that cold sweat broke out. She wanted to call Shen Yuelan, but feared it would cause her worry.
“I cannot help him. He insulted Jiang Yihong so openly in front of everyone. Even if I went up, it would be useless. He has already thoroughly offended Jiang Yihong.” Shen Junze waved his hand, determined to only watch the show and not offer assistance.
“Then, Brother Junze, could you call Grandfather and ask Grandfather to”
“Jiayi, enough. This is trouble he brought upon himself. Moreover, the fact that Grandfather has not sought him out until now already shows he does not wish to have any connection with him!” Shen Junze spoke impatiently.
Several of them could not wait for Luo Chen to die. How would they go to save him?
At this moment, their mindset was simply to watch Luo Chen make a fool of himself.
If they acted to eliminate Luo Chen, they might still be constrained by certain considerations and unable to act openly.
But Jiang Yihong was different. This fellow did not need to worry about any messy complications. He could eliminate you directly and openly.
The remaining people, seeing this scene, could not help but secretly sneer.
They were already jealous of Luo Chen because of the matter with Li Meizi. At this moment, they could not wait for Luo Chen to die.
Since Jiang Yihong had spoken so decisively, there was absolutely no possibility of Luo Chen surviving today.
Yet Luo Chen sat on the sofa, seeming not the least bit worried. Instead, he spoke.
“These words apply to you as well.”
“Good. Big talk. Let us see if you can make it home alive today?” Jiang Yihong gave a cold laugh, then turned and walked away. Clearly, he was going to summon people.
Li Jiayi, meanwhile, ran over with great concern and spoke.
“Luo Chen, do you know what you are actually doing?”
“I will call my father right away and ask him to come and pick me up. You follow me and leave together. Perhaps then Jiang Yihong will not dare to move against you,” Li Jiayi said.
At this moment, she hoped that the little influence her father possessed might prove useful. Otherwise, today’s matter would become enormous.
“Thank you, but no need.”
“Luo Chen, you will die. You truly will die!” Li Jiayi was so angry she was desperate. Even at this critical, urgent moment, Luo Chen still had not realised just what enormous trouble he had caused?
Yanjing’s number one young ruffian, Jiang Yihong. A single phone call from him could mobilise the limited number of underworld forces in Yanjing to act against Luo Chen.
The Jiang family also possessed the capability and strength to settle this matter, even without breaking a sweat!
“Do you know that even if the top leader of a provincial region came here today, they would not dare to speak to Jiang Yihong like that!”
“Thank you, but I will be fine.” Luo Chen waved his hand, then directly left Li Jiayi behind and followed Jiang Yihong outside.
