Luo Chen kicked Luo Yuanfei straight in the stomach and sent him flying out of the small pub onto the street where he fell.
Then Luo Chen walked out.
He raised his foot and kicked Luo Yuanfei hard again.
“Assaulting a police officer? What a serious charge.”
“Luo Yuanfei you really think you are impressive now.”
“I am your cousin. What is wrong with me teaching you a lesson?”
“I am your cousin. Can I not hit you?”
With every sentence Luo Chen kicked Luo Yuanfei once more until Luo Yuanfei was completely dazed.
This was a small county town after all. The street was not very wide and many people had gathered to watch the commotion.
This left Luo Yuanfei feeling rather humiliated.
Everyone began talking at once.
“Is that not Luo Yuanfei?”
“Yes that is his cousin Luo Chen. Why are they fighting?”
“Wow he is really kicking hard.”
“Should we go and stop them?”
“They are family. It is probably a domestic matter. It would not be right for us to interfere.”
Many people watched but not a single one stepped forward to mediate or block the fight.
Luo Yuanfei roared in fury. He was about to become the police station chief. What would it look like if he was beaten in public on the street like this?
If word spread his reputation would be completely ruined.
But Luo Chen struck with extreme force. Each kick left Luo Yuanfei without the strength to stand up.
Luo Yuanfei felt extremely frustrated. He had trained after all. Even drunk he should not have been completely helpless against Luo Chen.
Yet now he was the one being beaten with no chance to fight back.
“Enough Luo Chen. You have vented your anger. Do not cause any big trouble.” Yang Minghui stepped in to persuade him at this moment.
Luo Chen was hitting so hard that everyone was genuinely worried he might injure Luo Yuanfei seriously.
What they did not know was that Luo Chen had already held back. Otherwise the first slap alone might have sent Luo Yuanfei to meet the King of Hell on the ground.
Once Yang Minghui intervened Luo Chen stopped.
“Remember your cousin will always be your cousin.” With that Luo Chen turned and walked back into the small pub.
Zhang Tao however went to help Luo Yuanfei up. In the end Zhang Tao supported the dishevelled and dirt covered Luo Yuanfei as they left.
Watching them leave Xu Jing opened her mouth and sighed.
“Taozi he… alas.”
“Forget it. Everyone has their own ambitions. He looks down on us now and wants to stand with the future station chief. We will not force it.” Luo Chen spoke calmly with no trace of the unpleasantness from the fight moments earlier.
“Luo Chen you have vented your anger today but how will you explain this to your uncle later?”
“And that kid Luo Yuanfei definitely will not let it go.” Yang Minghui said worriedly.
“No problem.” Luo Chen waved his hand completely unconcerned.
He had barely finished speaking when his father’s call came through.
“You brat do not stay out too late tonight. Come home early. Your uncle and your second aunt are coming to our house for dinner today.”
His father’s voice was loud and since they were sitting close together everyone heard it clearly.
This created a rather awkward moment. It seemed neither Luo Chen’s uncle nor his father knew that Luo Chen had just beaten up Luo Yuanfei.
“No problem.” Luo Chen remained calm. He had hit him and if they came to his house tonight and provoked him then hitting him again would be fine too.
He had no good impression of his uncle or the two brothers Luo Yuanfei at all.
Even a dog if fed a few times would know gratitude the next time it saw you and would wag its tail.
But the Luo Yuanfei brothers were clearly the white eyed wolf type.
“Alright what bad luck. I never thought eating a meal could run into such an idiot.” Yang Minghui was also somewhat annoyed.
But after a few more cups of wine everyone soon forgot about the matter.
When it was finally time to leave however Luo Chen spoke first.
“Panpan wait a moment. I have something to say to you alone.”
As soon as Luo Chen said this Yang Minghui immediately felt uncomfortable.
But out of politeness he could not say anything.
Luo Chen deliberately patted Yang Minghui on the shoulder three times.
After the two left only Luo Chen and Zhang Panpan remained.
“Luo Chen you do not really have feelings for me do you? If so you had better not say it.” Zhang Panpan was undoubtedly a great beauty with delicate features fair skin and an extremely hot figure.
For such a beauty if Luo Chen had feelings for her it would be perfectly understandable.
And Zhang Panpan was extremely confident in her own looks so she asked him directly.
Unfortunately Zhang Panpan was destined to be disappointed.
“I am here about Minghui.” Luo Chen said.
For some reason after hearing these words Zhang Panpan felt relieved yet also a vague sense of loss.
Others might not notice but Zhang Panpan after all counted as a cultivator. Although she had not truly entered the path her senses were already very sharp.
Her intuition told her that the current Luo Chen seemed different from before but she could not pinpoint exactly where.
In the end Zhang Panpan sighed inwardly. Perhaps she had been too tense lately and was overly sensitive.
How could it be possible anyway?
Luo Chen was the childhood playmate she had grown up with. How could he suddenly have changed?
“If you are here to persuade me to be with Minghui then I am sorry. He and I are really not from the same world. There is never any possibility between us.” Zhang Panpan said coldly.
“No I am advising you to stay away from him.” Luo Chen did not say what Zhang Panpan had expected.
“What do you mean?” Zhang Panpan was somewhat confused by his words.
“If you feel you cannot give him what he wants or if you truly think you are not suitable then give him despair. Let him wake up completely. His life is still long. Since there is no possibility there is no need for him to waste his whole life on you.” Luo Chen spoke very directly.
Or rather very cruelly. But since the two had no chance of being together giving the other party a clean break and not letting them continue waiting was also a way of giving them a new path in life.
Moreover what Luo Chen worried about and cared about was not this but the fact that in his previous life Yang Minghui had disappeared precisely because he followed Zhang Panpan.
Or rather there were dangerous things around Zhang Panpan. In that case it was better for the two to keep their distance.
Otherwise if Yang Minghui ever touched upon certain things around Zhang Panpan it would be fatal for an ordinary person like him.
Zhang Panpan looked at Luo Chen with extreme surprise. She had not expected him to speak to her this way.
“Alright I will say it again. If you have any difficulties you can tell me. I can help you resolve them.” After saying this Luo Chen stood up and left.
He had said all there was to say. As for whether Zhang Panpan believed him Luo Chen did not care.
Watching Luo Chen’s departing figure Zhang Panpan shook her head.
Heh her troubles were not something an ordinary person like Luo Chen could resolve at all.
Luo Chen’s words sounded like complete boasting to her.
Never mind that Luo Chen was just an ordinary person right now. Even if he were a rich second generation or an official second generation he still could not resolve them.
So she did not take his words to heart at all.
At Luo Chen’s home his uncle had already arrived first with a group of people.
