Chapter 48: Making a Comeback

Yang Chen's keen instincts prompted him to start the car immediately, stepping on the accelerator as the M3 roared out of the underground parking lot.

Several security guards from Yu Lei International stood dumbfounded, staring at the swiftly disappearing car. They exchanged glances, none of them knowing which big shot from the company possessed such driving skills.

Driving and speaking simultaneously, Yang Chen asked, "What's wrong, Wang Ma?"

"Miss just got home from work, and Master came right away. They're arguing outside..." Wang Ma's voice was filled with tears, "Young Master, please come back quickly. Master has brought several people with him, and they don't look like good people. I'm afraid they'll hurt Miss..."

Before Wang Ma could finish her sentence, a commotion came from the phone, followed by a familiar male voice...

"Is it that bastard surnamed Yang? This is Lin Kun. I'm waiting for you here. If you have the guts, come back right now!"

Veins bulged in Yang Chen's hand gripping the steering wheel. He could hear Wang Ma's crying clearly from the other end of the phone, indicating that she had been forcibly separated from her phone.

"Do you know what you're doing?"

"I know very well, Yang! You come back right now. Let's see what ability you have to make my little girl from the Lin family do these unfilial things!"

Yang Chen didn't say anything more. He hung up the phone expressionlessly. In fact, if the phone hadn't been a gift from Lin Ruoxi, it might have been crushed already.

He floored the accelerator, despite the traffic congestion. The roaring engine caused many cars to obediently give way, creating a path.

The white BMW shot through like a whirlwind, eliciting countless curses. But Yang Chen was indifferent to it all. At this moment, in Yang Chen's eyes, there was only one road – straight ahead, without any traffic rules, without any red or green lights. He wanted to be fast, faster, and even faster!

Normally, the journey would take over twenty minutes. But Yang Chen reached the destination in less than ten minutes, like a missile tearing through the air.

The car screeched to a sudden halt in the open space in front of the villa, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The sun was setting, casting a faint golden glow over the spacious and luxurious Longjing Garden villa area. The green trees were tinged with red, and the grass seemed like a golden creek, making the scenery exceptionally beautiful.

But Yang Chen had no mood to appreciate this rare beauty. After getting out of the car, he walked towards the villa gate with a dark expression.

Before Yang Chen could reach the gate, it was forcefully pushed open. Lin Kun's sharp-dressed figure stepped out. His once handsome and mature face now looked gloomy and excited, as if he had already foreseen how he would retaliate against Yang Chen for humiliating him.

Behind him, five young men dressed identically in tight black short-sleeved shirts followed closely. From their bulging muscles, it was obvious that they were skilled fighters.

"Haha, you animal, you really have the guts to come back here. I thought you were too scared to return," Lin Kun tilted his head, lifting the corners of his mouth with a strong sense of disgust in his eyes.

Yang Chen sighed. It seemed that he had indeed restrained himself. Otherwise, with just that foul language, he would have enough reason to cut off this man's tongue. He glanced at him lightly and asked, "Where's Ruoxi and Wang Ma?"

As soon as he finished speaking, two figures emerged from the villa gate.

"Master, Master, be careful!" Wang Ma, wearing an apron, supported Lin Ruoxi, who had an extremely pale face, as they walked out.

Lin Ruoxi was still wearing the same suit she had worn to work. Her once stunningly beautiful face looked lifeless, her gaze unfocused as she stared at the ground, as if everything in front of her was unrelated to her.

If this scene made Yang Chen suddenly feel a bit distressed, then the red handprint on Wang Ma's face made a flash of killing intent flicker in Yang Chen's eyes...

Unfortunately, Lin Kun obviously didn't notice the change in Yang Chen's gaze.

"You sheep-selling brat, let me tell you, since you've come back today, it's your own fault. My brothers here are all thugs with no mercy. If you want to take fewer beatings, you'd better kneel down and kowtow to me dozens of times, then lick my shoes clean, and crawl into the trash can by yourself. Maybe then I'll let you off!" Lin Kun smirked, his voice sounding somewhat manic.

"Lin Kun..." Yang Chen raised his head, his gaze coldly fixed on the arrogant man in front of him. "I think I told you once before. I hate being threatened. You can threaten me, but be prepared to bear the consequences."

"I'm threatening you! You animal! What can you do? Do you have the ability to take down my five brothers?!" Lin Kun roared in anger, then laughed mockingly.

Yang Chen didn't say anything more. He stepped closer to Lin Kun.

The five thugs obviously didn't take Yang Chen seriously. After all, judging from his appearance, this young man was completely powerless. So, when they saw Yang Chen approaching, only one of them stepped forward and disdainfully glanced at Yang Chen, while simultaneously walking towards him.

Yang Chen couldn't be bothered to look at the black-clad man blocking his path. When he saw the man's fist coming at him like lightning, he met it with a lightning-fast punch of his own, as if through precise calculation.

"Bang!"

The two fists collided, producing a muffled sound. But the subsequent effect shocked everyone present!

"Ahh!"

The man who threw the first punch grimaced in pain, clutching his punching arm tightly and fell to his knees in agony!

"My hand... My hand..." Beads of sweat the size of soybeans dripped down. The man felt as if the bones in his entire arm were shattered. After several intense waves of pain, he fainted on the spot!

The remaining four thugs obviously hadn't realized what was going on, but Yang Chen was already standing in front of them.

"Hurry up! Get him!" Lin Kun sensed something was off and hurriedly commanded.

The four men then viciously lunged towards Yang Chen, trying to subdue him.

But as their punches and kicks landed on Yang Chen's body, they suddenly realized that no matter whether they hit his chest, abdomen, thighs, or anywhere else, their strikes didn't budge Yang Chen's figure in the slightest. It was as if their legs and fists were landing on a thick iron plate or a massive boulder, their force utterly insufficient to cause any harm to this seemingly invulnerable entity!

The four men instantly broke out in cold sweat. Was this guy made of iron?!

Yang Chen kept his gaze fixed on Lin Kun, and after effortlessly blocking their attacks, he casually raised his hand like a knife. Before the thugs could react or retreat, each of them felt a sharp chop at the back of their necks.

With a seemingly effortless movement, Yang Chen swiftly incapacitated the four previously robust men, who now lay unconscious on the ground.

In that moment, a wave of intense regret washed over Lin Kun. However, he didn't think seeking revenge on Yang Chen was wrong; rather, he believed he should have hired more thugs through "that person" who helped him.
