"Oh... " Mu Yan wanted to say something, but her friend already ended the call. Mu Yan couldn't help but grumble, "You are dead to me!"
"A minute and 43 seconds," Wu Chen said lightly.
"What?" Mu Yan was still angry due to her friend, but hearing Wu Chen she was suddenly reminded of what he said. She couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
"After exactly a minute and 43 seconds, she'll call you and tell you that she is unable to come today." That's what Wu Chen said before.
Mu Yan quickly unlocked her phone and browsed through her call logs.
The time when her friend called was 11:01:43.
Exactly a minute and 43 seconds. Subtracting the time was not a big task, but beliving the result obtained was.
Mu Yan was shocked beyond measure.
"This... this... this is impossible." Mu Yan stared at Wu Chen blankly, her eyes as wide as saucers, as she slumped on her chair.
"Believe me yet?" asked Wu Chen with a smile.
"You... " Mu Yan had a lot of wine before, but now she was scared sober. "Are you a sorcerer or something?"
"I'm not a sorcerer. As I told you before, I have been reliving this same day. So, this isn't the first time I'm meeting you.
"You... Haha! I Got it!" Mu Yan seemed to have figured out the mysteries surrounding the universe. "You know my friend, right? You two planned this so that you can prank me, right?"
"Forget it! I'm too lazy to argue with you." Wu Chen smiled helplessly.
During the thousand years he looped, he told numerous people about his situation; after all, no one will remember it anyway as the day would reset the next morning.
Regardless, no one bought his claims.
Therefore, Wu Chen usually doesn't care if the other party refuses to believe him.
"Sure enough, you schemed with my friend to prank me. But I saw through your plan." Mu Yan was quite proud of her IQ.
"Where's that guy? Dare to make trouble here!"
"Beauty, is he the one who called you ugly? Do you want us to teach him a lesson?"
Suddenly, a group of people surrounded Mu Yan, encircling her one by one. Quite obviously, they were a group of wannabe gangsters.
Originally, Mu Yan and Wu Chen were not that noticeable.
But when Mu Yan slammed the table and stood up, not just the ruffians but everyone in the bar noticed them.
Mu Yan was quite beautiful, even after being covered in that heavy makeup. Just her figure alone was a fantasy of dreams!
Wu Chen wasn't big on thick makeups, so in his eyes, Mu Yan was only worth seven points.
After being with numerous beauties, one sexier than the other, he became quite picky.
However, for an average joe, Mu Yan was definitely a woman of dreams.
"Hey kid, what did you just say? Did you say this beauty is ugly?"
"Beauty, why don't you go and have a drink with our older brother? Meanwhile, we will teach this little rascal a lesson for you."
The group of ruffians pulled Mu Yan as they cursed Wu Chen.
"You, what are you trying to do? This has nothing to do with you. Do you even know who I am? Let go of me." Mu Yan tried to resist.
Mu Yan believes that Wu Chen is a friend of her girlfriend. Therefore, he is half an acquaintance of her too. So, the thugs are obviously the ones harassing her, not Wu Chen.
BANG!
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and everyone came to a sudden halt.
One of the thugs was squirming on the ground as he held his bleeding head.
"If you wanna fight, then fight. What's this nonsense?" Wu Chen stood up while holding a broken wine bottle. Wu Chen was so swift with his actions that the others couldn't even react in time.
"Shit! This kid is asking for death!"
"Fuck him up!"
Some thugs quickly got their bearing and rushed to attack Wu Chen.
PUFF!
"Ah! My eye!"
Without care, Wu Chen stabbed the pointy part of the broken bottle in one of the thug's left eye. Immediately, blood poured out like a stream.
Wu Chen stuck again.
This time he slashed the neck of another thug.
He no longer cares about life and death. In the 1000 years he looped, he lost count of how many people he killed. The day's gonna reset anyway, why should he care about someone's life or death?
The victim reacted quickly this time as he backed away while pressing on the slash wound. He was so scared that he could feel cold sweat on his neck.
No. It wasn't sweat. It was blood!
Even though the slash wasn't deep, but it was still bleeding profusely.
The group of little thugs was suddenly scared out of their wits. They had never witnessed such ruthlessness. Even though, as thugs, they were supposed to be ruthless, but when they saw Wu Chen's apparent disregard for human life, they were terrified.
As long as you have money, any injury could be treated, regardless of its severity. However, no amount of money could bring you back from the dead.
The group quickly backed in fear.
"KILL!!"
The bar was now a mess as the guests ran outside in a chaotic manner, filled with fear.
Not far from Wu Chen's table, there was another table, the men who occupied that table quickly stood up as they seethed with rage.
One of them had a long beard, he was the elder brother of the group of punks. He was the one who sent the thugs over to Wu Chen when Mu Yan slammed the table.
"Wait!" His cheeks and beard were shaking with menace.
The ones following the bearded guy were strong and powerful characters. The wanted to rush towards Wu Chen, but the bearded guy stopped them.
He watched as the brother who got slashed, struggled to make a call while pressing on his neck. He also saw the brothers who got stabbed in the eye and got hit on the head.
Wu Chen was calm even as he noticed the bearded guy walking towards him. He casually threw the broken-bloodied bottle and sat down.
The bearded man was quite stunned by Wu Chen's demeanor.
How could a man in his early 20s be so ruthless and indifferent?
Either he is a lunatic or someone with a big background. In any case, they couldn't mess with him.
"Quick, go to the hospital," Beardy ordered the injured thugs.
The one who got his eye stabbed would obviously be blinded from the left eye. That wasn't a big deal.
However, the punk who got his neck slashed could die if he didn't receive treatment.
"Liu Hubei, you are so good, making trouble in this bar. Is this what Zhou Guaizi taught you?" Wu Chen looked at beardy and said indifferently.
"You know me? And my elder brother too?" asked Liu Hubei, but inside his heart, he thought, "Sure enough."
Wu Chen knew everything about every influential person of Donghai. Their secrets were no secrets to Wu Chen.
He was limited to influential people because Donghai had tens of millions in population. So, it was impossible to know about everyone. But as long as someone was even the slightest bit special, Wu Chen would know about them.
Even though he would form different relations with various people, but after the day is reset, they would no longer remember him.
But that was okay. Just understanding them was enough.
"This is Wang Zhuangyuan's territory. You are making trouble here, aren't you afraid that Zhou Guaizi would make fist bait out of you to appease him?" Wu Chen said.
Suddenly, Lu Hubei's face changed.
He speculated that Wu Chen must be some ruthless master invited by Wang Zhuagyuan.
Wang Zhuangyuan and Zhou Guaizi had never been on good terms.
Generally, Lu Hubei wouldn't even dare to bring his men in Wang Zhuangyuan's bar. But today, Wang Zhuangyuan went to the funeral of a family elder. So, only minimal security was left behind.
Is this guy Wang Zhuangyuan's new recruit?
"Brother, where do you come from?" Lu Hubei asked in a polite tone.
Wu Chen gave him a disregarding glace.
"Don't say that I didn't warn you. Even if you are Wang Zhuangyuan's man, you can't break the rules." Lu Hubei's tone immediately became unkind. "You slashed one of my men on the neck. If he dies before reaching the hospital, then even Wang Zhuangyuan won't be able to save you."
"Oh, really!" Wu Chen grinned.
Swiftly picking up the phone, he dialed a number.
