Chapter 53: But... I do not agree!

Chapter 53: But... I do not agree!

"What the fuck, who the hell are you?" Wu Zefeng asked, his face contorted with fierce rage as he sat at the head of the table.

Just as he was about to achieve his goal and win the beauty over, someone had to crash the party. Naturally, Wu Zefeng was burning with anger.

Before Xue An could speak, Xie Jingjing suddenly stood up, her eyes red and brimming with tears, and cried out, "Brother An, you... you should leave!"

Xie Jingjing knew all too well how formidable Wu Zefeng was. Not only did his family wield considerable influence, but it was also rumored that he was acquainted with several major underworld bosses in the city.

Since Xue An was merely an "ordinary person," how could he possibly hope to match Wu Zefeng?

Xie Jingjing did not want Xue An to be dragged into danger because of her.

In fact, at this very moment, Xie Jingjing's heart was a tangled mix of sorrow and... profound moving gratitude.

He had actually come to rescue her.

That alone was more than enough.

Xie Jingjing asked for nothing more!

Yet, her thoughts were still far too naive.

Wu Zefeng let out a few cold sneers.

"Want to leave?"

At that moment, the young men who had been drinking with Wu Zefeng all stood up, each of them grabbing the wine bottles from the table.

Not only that, but upon hearing the commotion, the security guards of Blue Fire had also rushed over.

"Young Master Wu, what's going on here?" the head of security asked.

Wu Zefeng said coldly, "This punk kicked in the door of our private room and ruined my mood."

"Damn it, what kind of blind idiot comes from nowhere and dares to disturb Young Master Wu!" The head of security barked an order.

The security guards blocked the doorway and then tightly surrounded Xue An.

Right now, Wu Zefeng sat on the sofa, a mocking smile curving across his sinister face.

He thoroughly enjoyed this feeling of looking down on others from a position of absolute superiority.

Especially when he saw the expressions of terror on the faces of the weak, it brought a swift sense of satisfaction to his heart.

Yet this time, his calculations failed.

For he did not see the slightest trace of terror on this man's face.

All that was there was a mocking smile at the corner of his lips.

It was as if...

He and his thugs were the weak ones instead.

Wu Zefeng's gaze grew chillingly cold. "Cripple him—"

Before the word could leave his lips, Xie Jingjing had already lunged forward, throwing herself in front of Xue An to shield him.

"Wu Zefeng, aren't you just after me? I'll give myself to you, but you must let Brother An leave this place safely!" Xie Jingjing said, her voice trembling.

A gleam of triumph flashed in Wu Zefeng's eyes as he looked at Xie Jingjing with playful amusement.

"Heh, you're really willing to throw everything away for a man like this?"

Xie Jingjing gritted her teeth and said, "That's none of your concern. You must guarantee that he leaves here safely, or else even if I die, I won't let you lay a single finger on me!"

By the end of her sentence, Xie Jingjing's heart was filled with desolate sorrow.

Brother An, perhaps... we can only meet again in our next life!

Xie Jingjing had already made up her mind: once she sent Xue An away safely, she would find a chance to end her own life!

Wu Zefeng nodded at that. "Very well, I promise you!"

"But... I do not agree!" A calm voice echoed through the room.

The room fell into an instant silence.

Then, everyone turned their eyes toward the speaker. It was none of Xue An.

Xie Jingjing was so anxious her tears were about to fall. "Brother An... I..."

Xie Jingjing gently patted the silly girl's shoulder and gave a faint smile. "Say nothing. Just watch... and leave this to me!"

Xie Jingjing wanted to say more, but when she met Xue An's gaze, as deep and vast as the ocean, all words died in her throat.

At that moment, Wu Zefeng's expression grew even darker and more menacing. He sneered, "Punk, you've got a lot of nerve. Do you even know who I am?"

Xie Jingjing shook her head. "I don't know, and I have no interest in knowing."

Then, Xue An paused, sweeping his gaze across everyone in the room. "All of you, come at me together. I'm in a hurry!"

As those words dropped, many couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Wu Zefeng looked at Xue An as if he were staring at a total lunatic.

"What the fuck, there really are people who aren't afraid of death? Cripple him for me!"

The security guards and Wu Zefeng's lackeys swarmed forward all at once. Xie Jingjing squeezed her eyes shut in terror, her final thought being:

To have been with Brother An—even death is worth it.

Yet the expected pain never arrived. Instead, a series of crisp, firecracker-like shattering sounds rang out.

Hesitantly, Xie Jingjing opened her eyes, and then she beheld a sight that would remain carved into her memory for the rest of her life.

Those aggressive assailants who had rushed forward hadn't even managed to brush against the hem of Xue An's clothes.

And Xue An had simply thrown a single, effortless punch.

Yet that casual punch whipped up a violent gale inside the entire private room.

The man at the very front was sent flying by Xue An's punch, crashing into the men behind him like bowling pins, sending them all hurtling backward until they slammed hard against the concrete wall and collapsed, coughing up blood and unable to get back up.

Not only that, but the thick concrete wall, struck by the shockwave of that single punch, shuddered a few times before collapsing into rubble with a deafening crash.

Dust billowed everywhere. Xue An stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his expression serene as he surveyed the entire room.

No one dared to utter a sound.

Amidst the dead silence, Wu Zefeng stared dumbfoundedly at the scene, his brain struggling to process what had just happened.

A single punch...

Just one punch had unleashed such terrifying might?

Who on earth... was this man?

"Now... it's your turn," Xue An said calmly.

Wu Zefeng trembled violently and stammered in terror, "Y-You... don't come any closer! I'm a member of the Wu family, you can't kill me!"

Xie Jingjing shook her head. "I told you, I have no interest in knowing who you are!"

Right at that moment, a chaotic flurry of footsteps echoed from outside the door, and a group of people marched in.

Leading them was a hulking, ferocious-looking brute.

The moment he laid eyes on this brute, Wu Zefeng looked as though he had seen his savior. He scrambled and crawled toward him, crying out, "Brother Bear, save me! This guy is trying to kill me, and he's beaten up a bunch of our people here at KTV!"

Big Brother Bear!

The undisputed boss of Blue Fire KTV.

The appearance of this man made Xie Jingjing's heart sink to the bottom.

This was a heavyweight underworld boss well-known throughout Beijiang City!

At this moment, Wu Zefeng's face relaxed into an expression of utter relief, and he cast a triumphant look at Xue An.

In his mind, once Brother Bear arrived, this punk was undoubtedly finished.

Yet, this Big Brother Bear didn't even spare Wu Zefeng a single glance, walking past him as if he were nothing more than thin air.

Wu Zefeng froze. Then, he watched in utter disbelief as Big Brother Bear walked right up to Xue An, bowed deeply, and said with utmost respect, "Mr. Xue!"

Boom.

Everyone in the room was struck dumb.

Wu Zefeng's eyes nearly popped out of his skull.

Xie Jingjing looked at Big Brother Bear and said indifferently, "You recognize me?"

Big Brother Bear gave a bitter smile. "That day at Dragon Emperor Terrace, as one of Brother Fan's men, I had the privilege of witnessing Mr. Xue!"

Xie Jingjing nodded. "Ah, so you're Du Fan's subordinate."

Du Fan.

Yet another spine-chilling name.

Yet when spoken from Xue An's lips, it was as casual as mentioning someone utterly insignificant.

Big Brother Bear, however, shuddered uncontrollably, not even daring to raise his head.

Because on that day at Dragon Emperor Terrace, he had seen Lu Kun's miserable fate with his own eyes.

He knew that this Mr. Xue was a terrifying figure who struck awe into both gods and ghosts. Compared to him, someone like himself—a so-called boss—wasn't even worth a fart.

At this moment, Big Brother Bear's heart was filled with searing rage.

This Wu Zefeng wanting to court death on his own was one thing, but he had actually dragged him into it!
