Whether Qin Yu was too captivated by Chen Yuxin, or for some other reason, he didn't see Su Chen's punch coming. Su Chen himself was taken aback, as his fist met no resistance and landed directly on Qin Yu's nose bridge. A crisp snap echoed, the sound of a nose fracturing. In an instant, Qin Yu's handsome face twisted in agony. Accompanied by a scream, a bloodied Qin Yu was knocked to the ground by Su Chen's single punch.
At that moment, Qin Yu glared at Chen Yuxin with fury. He never imagined that he would eventually be defeated by this woman. However, it quickly dawned on Qin Yu that during their prior investigations, Chen Yuxin's capabilities were clearly documented. She was far from the weak woman she appeared to be. On the contrary, Chen Yuxin's methods were chillingly effective.
Now, everything felt like a conspiracy hanging over Qin Yu's head. The effects of the drug were particularly potent. Qin Yu had always prided himself on his strength and medical skills, even considering himself a top-tier doctor. Yet, he was now unable to resist the slightest effect of the drug. At this moment, Qin Yu was utterly drained, unable even to speak. This is why Su Chen could so easily knock him down. Qin Yu was indignant.
After Su Chen's punch, it immediately drew the attention of many onlookers. From their perspective, Su Chen was simply there with his girlfriend, presumably to rent a room. Suddenly, Qin Yu appeared, attempting to steal another man's woman with quite an overbearing demeanor. To add to that, Chen Yuxin even appeared to be quite affectionate with Su Chen. As a result, everyone naturally assumed that Qin Yu was intentionally causing trouble. Now, seeing Qin Yu lying on the ground, many felt a sense of satisfaction.
Many began to mockingly comment, "Who does he think he is? Coming to a hotel and trying to steal someone's girlfriend. What a joke!" Another quipped, "His nose is all crooked now, serves him right!" Yet another remarked, "Such a shame. Young people these days are so impulsive and overestimate their abilities." "The way the other guy is dressed, he clearly isn't someone to be messed with, and yet he tried," another observer noted.
Hearing these taunts, Su Chen was at a loss for words. He recognized this unique trait in main characters like Qin Yu, which naturally attracted animosity. It's like a destined trait that some individuals just possess, much like how Conan always finds himself in troublesome situations. Of course, Qin Yu, with his inherent talent for drawing ridicule, usually did so to steal the limelight. But this time, the tables had turned, and he ended up being the one ridiculed. Su Chen was utterly speechless.
What the hell is going on? Qin Yu, didn't you obtain the power from the jade pendant? Even without it, given your abilities, you shouldn't have ended up like this. Instead, you should have been the one beating me up. These onlookers should be mocking him, the useless young master, and not belittling the main character.
Still maintaining his clarity of mind at the moment was Qin Yu. After hearing the disparaging comments from the crowd, his face turned beet red with anger. He never expected them to dare treat him this way. He is a war god, having battled countless times, and never before had he suffered such an insult. And it didn't stop there.
Unexpectedly, at this critical juncture, Fang Han, along with a bunch of his lackeys, finally burst in. Seeing Qin Yu on the ground, Fang Han immediately realized that a conflict must have occurred. Su Chen is his best friend. How could Fang Han not assist? With a command, the group of villainous lackeys swarmed forward. On one hand, they shouted praises for Su Chen, and on the other, they brutally beat up Qin Yu, who was on the ground.
Being the lackeys that they were, this act of bullying using their superior numbers was all too familiar to them. They didn't hold back at all. "Dare to offend Young Master Su? We'll beat you to death!" "A worthless fool thinking he can compete with Young Master Su for a woman?" "Blind as a bat!" It has to be said, these lackeys of the villains truly gave it their all.
After all, this was one of the rare opportunities for them to win favor with Su Chen, the young master. Everyone put in their utmost effort, and soon, Qin Yu was covered in wounds from head to toe.
Initially, seeing Qin Yu on the ground, Su Chen was in a state of shock. However, as he watched Qin Yu being ganged up on and beaten by Fang Han and his group, hearing his pitiful screams, Su Chen grew increasingly anxious and concerned. He was afraid that Qin Yu, the main character, might end up getting killed. If he died, everything would be ruined. All the hard work and endurance up to this point would have been in vain. Su Chen couldn't accept such an outcome and quickly stepped forward to intervene.
"Stop, stop! Everyone, hold back!" he shouted. "Hold on! Step back and let me handle this." Su Chen felt he should be the one to deal with the situation, ensuring at least that Qin Yu would be left alive. However, even after hearing Su Chen's reprimand, it took a while for the lackeys to reluctantly pull away. Some even couldn't resist getting a few more kicks in.
By now, Qin Yu's face was a mess, especially with blood pouring from his nose, presenting a horrifying sight. Yet, seeing that Qin Yu could still glare at him fiercely, Su Chen felt relieved. But what he couldn't understand was how Qin Yu, the returned war god, could be taken down by a mere punch from him? But that was a mystery for another time.
When Qin Yu was being attacked by this group, he didn't resist at all. What was really going on? On the other hand, Chen Yuxin watched the scene with amusement, a mocking expression on her face, showing no intention of intervening.
Although Qin Yu was thoroughly beaten, he actually wasn't seriously harmed. After all, the individuals Fang Han brought with him were just ordinary thugs, unable to inflict any real damage. Therefore, when Su Chen stepped in, Qin Yu glared at him defiantly, his gaze as if challenging, "Come and hit me!"
Seeing the still confident look in Qin Yu's eyes, Su Chen suddenly felt that he understood everything. Qin Yu was definitely putting on an act. After all, hadn't Qin Yu obtained the Kunlun Jade Pendant? How could he possibly be taken down by a weak punch from him? Something was definitely amiss.
Furthermore, Chen Yuxin was one of the leading ladies, and naturally, she would have some affection for Qin Yu. She wouldn't just stand by and let Su Chen beat him up. Yet now, a smile occasionally played on Chen Yuxin's enchanting face. Everything seemed too strange. There was surely some plot afoot.
It must be said that Qin Yu, as the protagonist, played his role impeccably. Even Chen Yuxin, the woman in question, feigned her part perfectly. Given the circumstances, all Su Chen could do was to play along wholeheartedly.
With a calm demeanor, Su Chen wore a brazen smile on his face, perfectly embodying the look of a triumphant villain. He then fiercely stomped on Qin Yu's face, brutally trampling him. In Su Chen's eyes, this was the ultimate act of insult, sure to infuriate Qin Yu. Regardless of whatever scheme Qin Yu might be plotting, even if he lashed out in anger and retaliated against Su Chen, in the end, the real beneficiary would be Su Chen.
Beside them, Chen Yuxin watched Su Chen, her eyes shining with barely concealed joy. Even if Su Chen's actions now seemed vulgar, to Chen Yuxin, it was nothing significant. After all, in their past life, Qin Yu had been even more brutal to Su Chen at this very moment. In this lifetime, she would protect Su Chen, ensuring he wouldn't suffer the slightest injury. Hence, she had meticulously planned this event, intending for Su Chen to vent his pent-up rage.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Su Chen was fiercely beating up Qin Yu. He had initially held back his strength, fearing that something might go wrong with Qin Yu.
He had no choice. Every time he looked at Qin Yu's face, Su Chen couldn't help but lose his temper, striking without considering the severity of his blows. At that moment, several discordant figures appeared in the hotel.
Su Chen quickly noticed them. It was Chen Kai, who had been tailing him all this time. The people from the Chen family had finally arrived. Seeing this, Su Chen was overjoyed. After waiting so long, those from the Chen family had finally shown up. Even though these characters didn't appear in the original story, Su Chen didn't mind now. Their appearance would only make it easier for him to play out the plot of being humiliated.
With the insult to the young lady of the Chen family and given the protective nature of the Chen members, Su Chen was certain that the consequences would be severe. Indeed, all of this was a scheme. A conspiracy meticulously planned by Chen Yuxin. This not only solidified the claim that Su Chen intended to tarnish the reputation of the Chen family's young lady but also ensured that Qin Yu would receive the approval of the Chen family members. After all, Qin Yu was now risking his life to protect Chen Yuxin.
