The fat woman was shaking with anger.
"Okay… Okay, you little scum, you got balls! But don't be too happy yet. You hit me; so today, you're not getting off that easy!"
As she finished, she began to scream.
"Lao Chang! Lao Chang! Someone's hit me; get the hell in here!"
Following her screams, a tall and lanky man came out from the back with a metal rod in his hands.
"What's going on?"
The fat woman stood up and pointed at Xiao Chen and Qi Sha, screaming.
"Those guys, those two ganged up to hit me! Quick, get revenge for me and hit them back! I'm going to kill them both!"
Lao Chang looked them up and down and grunted.
"Got it. You get behind me. Leave them to me!"
He picked up his steel rod and banged it on the ground a few times, focusing on Xiao Chen and Qi Sha with a deathly glare.
"You two little rascals got some balls, huh. You dare come to my grounds in the broad daylight and stir up trouble. Are you sick of living?"
Xiao Chen's expression was ice cold. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Xiao Chen was making a supreme effort to repress the anger in his heart.
"Let me ask you, why did you shut her in there?"
Lao Chang chuckled coldly.
"What's it to you? I can put her wherever I want."
The fat woman supported this from behind as well.
"Not bad. She gets a nest that protects her from the wind and rain! What else do you want? You want me to build her a house of gold? Why don't you see what kind of vermin she is! Her mom and dad don't even want her anymore, so what are you doing? Mind your own damn business!"
"Yeah! You're just a scoundrel, sticking your nose in our business!"
Xiao Chen took a deep breath as his gaze turned frosty.
"If you can give me a reasonable explanation, then perhaps I might let you leave with your bodies intact! But now, there's no need!"
After he said those words, Xiao Chen clutched the child and turned to leave.
"Let's destroy them!"
"I want them to live and regret what they've done to my daughter!"
The fat woman and Lao Chang did not hear Xiao Chen's words as they continued to boast with satisfied expressions on their faces.
"Hey! Hold on. Who let you take her away?"
"You little rat! If you don't let her go, I'll kill you right now. You believe it or not?"
However, before they could catch up to Xiao Chen, they were blocked by a burly figure.
Qi Sha rolled up his cuffs, revealing a pair of delicate hands.
Both his hands, fairer than those of a ladies', were rosy white.
Legend has it that only hands that regularly soaked in fresh blood and absorbed its nutrients could be so fair!
"What do you want?"
The couple's expressions darkened as they warily stared at Qi Sha.
Qi Sha also bore a cold expression.
"You are not fit to call him a scoundrel!"
"We want to call him that, so we will. What are you going to do about it?"
"Yeah! He is a scoundrel! You want to fight?"
Qi Sha shook his head.
"To profane and commit blasphemy is a deadly sin! It's another sin when you don't know you're doing it!"
Moments later, two blood-curdling screams emerged from the courtyard.
The cries were terrible as they echoed through the sky, frightening all the residents nearby and awakening those who were asleep.
Nobody dared approach the courtyard. Qi Sha was already in the car and ready to leave.
Inside the backseat, Xiao Chen was playing with his daughter.
"Emperor, where to?"
Xiao Chen did not lift his head, his gaze still focused on his daughter, his eyes full of tender affection.
"To Jiangbei's best bathhouse!"
"Yes, sir!"
The Rolls-Royce drove fast, and soon they arrived at Jiangbei's top bathhouse.
For a top-tier luxury service venue, a 24-hour business was just the basic standard.
Qi Sha parked the car as Xiao Chen held his daughter and walked into the bathhouse.
The people around could not help but cast a suspicious and disgusted look.
Basically, anyone who could come here were not ordinary people.
And Xiao Chen had brought quite a dirty-looking child inside, who looked like a stray dog. This worried them. What if the child carried some bacteria on her!
The staff members hurriedly approached with ill-intended expressions. They asked Xiao Chen:
"Sir, did you come to the wrong place? We are a luxury bath house institute, not a homeless child care center!"
Xiao Chen looked at them indifferently.
"I am aware."
"Since you are aware..."
Before waiting for the staff to respond again, Xiao Chen interrupted her.
"Five minutes!"
"Excuse me?"
"I will give you five minutes to empty out this area. I want to give my daughter a bath!"
The staff member chuckled and said:
"Sir, please don't joke around. Our baths per person here cost over 800 dollars—not including other services. If you want to book the entire place, you'd need at least 500,000 dollars!"
She paused again before continuing.
"And… even if you do have money, your daughter is so dirty. We won't service you!"
As her words came out, the temperature in the bath house dropped several degrees.
Xiao Chen's expression was cold as ice. He stared at the employee and spoke calmly.
"What did you say? Say it again!"
His gaze full of menace made the staff member tremble.
Even so, the staff member snorted.
"What? You want to play dirty? Why don't you see whose grounds you're on? I'll tell you again, this place doesn't service beggars like you! Take her and get the hell out, or else I'll call security!"
Immediately after her words came out, her perception blurred. A moment later, her whole body toppled over.
Thump.
The staff member landed with a thud on the floor. Half her face was swollen.
"You… You… You dare hit me?"
Xiao Chen's expression was cold, as if he was staring at a dead body.
"I also dare kill you. You want to try it, too?"
I dare to kill you...
The calmly spoken words shocked everyone present.
Anyone in Jiangbei who can afford to go to this luxury bathhouse were not ordinary people. They had enormous powers backing them and could make all of Jiangbei shake in terror with a stomp of a foot!
And Xiao Chen, who dared to stir up trouble here, was he not afraid of angering the owner of this institution?
"Crazy! This guy is crazy!"
The bystanders shook their heads as they pitied Xiao Chen from a distance.
At this time, a stocky figure appeared behind the staff member.
He was 185 cm tall, a whole three centimeters taller than Xiao Chen!
His figure was broad like a bear, and through his white shirt, his arm muscles protruded and were thick like a bull! On his face, there was a deep scar that went across the bridge of his nose, making him look extra fierce and hideous.
"How confident you are! Someone actually dares to step on the Chen family's territory. Are you sick of living or is your brain not working?"
Xiao Chen looked him up and down and calmly spoke.
"Ah, you must be the manager of this place."
"You're right!"
The man crossed his arms, a look of pride emanating from his gaze.
