This meal ended amid the cold mockery and sarcasm from Chu Yunhao and the others.
Walking out of the restaurant, Xia Jingqing looked at Luo Chen somewhat angrily and puffed up.
What is wrong with you today? Why did you not retort? Xia Jingqing did not think Luo Chen was bad at speaking. Instead she felt that Luo Chen should not have acted this way today.
Could it really be because he was afraid?
Thinking about it, it was possible. After all Chu Yunhao was a true rich young master from a prominent family, while Luo Chen in the end was only showing off in the Tongzhou area.
At this thought Xia Jingqing could not help feeling a bit disappointed in Luo Chen. Before she had thought Luo Chen would be a bit different from others.
It seemed she had misjudged him. When truly facing these rich young masters Luo Chen simply did not have the ability or confidence.
Summer insects cannot speak of ice! Luo Chen smiled, left these words and walked away.
Jingjing, why did you find such a person to take the bullet for you? He has no ability or qualification at all! At this time Zhou Xuefei also came out, patted Xia Jingqing on the shoulder and said.
Look at the face you lost today. I feel embarrassed for you. Zhou Xuefei sighed.
Alas, I always thought he would be different but who knew it would turn out like this? Xia Jingqing lowered her head somewhat dejectedly.
Jingjing, some things are innate, just like you and I were both born with a silver spoon in our mouths.
Chu Yunhao is the same. These things cannot be achieved through later efforts. In the future you should stay away from him. He is not on the same level as us at all. Zhou Xuefei shook her head and said.
On the other side Chen Chao was very happy today. He even deliberately played a song while driving back, shook his body to the rhythm and laughed wildly.
Luo Chen!
Hmph, no matter how powerful you were before, so what?
As soon as my brother arrived you immediately chickened out, did you not?
Do not worry. This is just the beginning. I will have my brother take his time and slowly play you to death.
I will make you regret coming into this world!
At this thought Chen Chao laughed even more triumphantly like a madman.
Then the car slowly drove into the garage of a villa.
After parking the car Chen Chao got out smiling and humming a tune, then entered the villa.
At this moment Chen Chao’s father had not gone to bed yet and was reading the newspaper in the living room.
What made you so happy? Chen Chao’s father asked.
Nothing much. I vented today. Chen Chao smiled.
My son cannot be bullied outside. Is it that Luo Chen from before? Chen Chao’s father asked.
Yes. Chen Chao nodded proudly.
Once your old man has time, killing him would be as easy as pinching an ant. Chen Chao’s father sneered coldly.
Let us not talk about it now. I will go up first. Chen Chao bounced up the stairs, pushed open his room door, closed it and was about to turn on the light when he suddenly froze.
Because he smelled cigarette smoke in the room. Strictly speaking he did not smoke so how could there be smoke in the room?
Chen Chao pressed the switch and was about to get angry.
Click!
Under the light a person stood with their back to Chen Chao, looked out the window and held a cigarette in hand.
The person turned around and smiled.
Luo, you dare to be here? Chen Chao was stunned at once.
What are you doing here? Seeing Luo Chen, Chen Chao took a big step forward, pulled open the drawer and took out a handgun.
To send you off. Luo Chen ignored the gun in Chen Chao’s hand.
Hah, good. There is a road to heaven but you do not take it. No door to hell but you insist on coming. Chen Chao pointed the gun at Luo Chen.
I am very sorry. Since you have come you will not be able to leave! Chen Chao smiled very smugly and his face suddenly showed a hint of madness.
This was his home. He could kill Luo Chen and then accuse him of any crime.
Like home invasion and robbery?
Or directly kill Luo Chen and sink him in the river?
Both seemed like good choices.
I was just thinking about how to kill you tomorrow and here you are delivering yourself to me. I know you are good at fighting but can you be faster than a bullet? Chen Chao sneered and pulled the trigger.
But no bullet came out. Then Chen Chao pulled the trigger several more times fiercely but nothing happened except the empty clicking sound.
You? Chen Chao started to panic. He reached for the door handle but could not pull it open no matter what.
Are you here to kill me? Chen Chao said, pretending to be calm, but his hand was already trembling. He was panicked.
Luo Chen nodded.
Leaving aside that this is my home, even if you dared to kill me here you would not dare anywhere else.
Luo, who do you think you are?
I schemed against you so many times and you did not dare do anything to me! Thinking of this Chen Chao seemed to regain his composure.
You might have misunderstood. Luo Chen’s tone was somewhat cold.
You think I do not dare to kill you? Do not dare to retaliate against you?
In my eyes killing you is easier than pinching an ant to death. But I have not touched you all this time not because I do not dare but because I do not want to.
You still had some use before. Now your value has been lost. Luo Chen spoke slowly.
You do not dare! Chen Chao was very certain.
Who was his father? Would Luo Chen not know?
Would Luo Chen dare to touch him?
You are really stupid. Why do you not use your foolish brain to think carefully? Why could I invite all the big shots in Tongzhou to the school?
Let me tell you. It is because they fear me. They fear death!
Let me tell you again. Do you know why they fear me? Luo Chen chuckled lightly.
Chen Chao opened his mouth to shout for help but he found that although he opened his mouth he could not make any sound at all.
Clearly as long as he shouted he would definitely attract his father’s attention and be saved.
He could even imagine his father sitting on the sofa downstairs completely unaware head down reading the newspaper.
Even making a little sound would do just a little but he could not move at all not even a bit.
This feeling of wanting to shout but being unable to produce any sound made Chen Chao terrified to the extreme.
I warned you before. You have no idea what kind of existence is standing in front of you. At this point Luo Chen raised his index finger to his lips and made a shushing gesture towards Chen Chao.
The scene before Chen Chao changed. He was on an ancient staircase where pungent blood was flowing continuously. Looking up even the sky was a dark blood colour.
Inside the dilapidated mountain gate lay bodies everywhere with almost no place to step. Each of those bodies had an incredibly powerful aura. Any one of them could be called a god in Chen Chao’s view!
But they were all dead. There was still one last person struggling inside but a man with an indifferent expression suddenly pinched and broke his neck.
The man carrying an aura of evil charm and ruthlessness walked out. His cold gaze swept over Chen Chao and Chen Chao was so frightened that he fell to the ground.
Now you understand? What summer insects cannot speak of ice really means. You are opposing a god! The man had dishevelled hair long like a waterfall and his eyes were like two divine lamps!
In an instant the man rose from the ground his head reaching the blue sky feet treading the earth. Chen Chao felt himself as insignificant as an ant.
Do not kill me please please
But he could not make a sound. One could only see from his mouth movements that it was this sentence.
Relax. Do you know why everyone fears death?
Have you noticed that whether in Buddhist scriptures or Taoist teachings they advise people to do good deeds and accumulate virtue while alive to avoid endless suffering after death?
Is it really because they are bored or because the ancients were foolish?
No it is because for some people death is not a release not an end but a beginning the beginning of pain until eternity.
That is why they fear death! Luo Chen smiled very evilly and charmingly.
In Chen Chao’s room Luo Chen suddenly grabbed Chen Chao’s neck and with a crack broke it.
In Chen Chao’s family villa Chen Chao slowly opened the door again.
Were you not going back to your room to sleep? Why did you come out again? Chen Chao’s father frowned and asked.
Dad come over. I have something to say to you. Chen Chao lowered his head and his unseen face smiled very happily. The corners of his mouth split to his ears and his eyes were pitch black.
Okay. Chen Chao’s father put down the newspaper in his hand and walked towards Chen Chao. He did not notice that Chen Chao’s heels were raised on tiptoes.
