Chapter 12: A Hot Mess
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Jiang Churan’s face hardened, and she knew she had got herself into a hot mess.
However, she was not afraid.
Jiang Churan’s father, Jiang Haishan, was near the center of power at the Chu Zhou City. She doubted that Zhou Tianhao dared harm her. However, she wagered that he wouldn’t let her get away easily, either.
Even as Zhou Tianhao’s bodyguard was about to fetch the girls for his boss, someone put a hand in front of him, stopping him cold in the track.
Everyone was surprised by the turn of the event.
They watched as Chen Fan stood beside Jiang Churan and Xu Rongfei, one hand in the pocket and the other reached out, blocking the bodyguard. He turned his head over his shoulder and said to Zhou Tianhao, “Mister Zhou, they are both my friends. Give me some face, and let them go.”
“Are you crazy?” Jiang Chuan poked Chen Fan’s back and whispered.
It could have been a simple, although unpleasant matter. She would sit down with these disguising old men, have a few drinks with them and endure some uncouth banter and then they should be on their way home. However, Chen Fan’s involvement would muddy the water beyond saving.
“Oh? Who are you? Why should I give you face?” Zhou Tianhao’s asked coldly. His patience was wearing thin. First, one of his guests was beaten up by them, and now a kid dared to talk to him as if he was his equal. It was as if no one took him seriously any longer.
“Who am I?” Chen Fan pitched his head to a side and pondered for a while:
“I am someone you don’t want to mess with.”
The boys and girls could only stare at Chen Fan. Most of them were convinced that Chen Fan had one too many at the bar.
“For f.u.c.k sake! He is going to get us all killed! ” Yang Chao was shocked by Chen Fan’s folly. He knew he shouldn’t have brought him with them to the KTV.
He was truly frightened by how quickly the situation had escalated. This whole mess wasn’t that much of a big deal until Chen Fan rose up to challenge Zhou Tianhao.
Ding Junfei’s legs started to tremble; he could not imagine what Zhou Tianhao would do to them next.
“Ha ha ha ha!” Zhou Tianhao laughed out loud. “I can’t afford to mess with you?”
He smiled and pointed at Chen Fan; his words were laced with conceit.
“It’s over.” Knowing the situation was out of control, Jiang Churan shut her eyes as if she was too afraid to see what was going to happen next.
“That, idiot! Even Yang Chao couldn’t confront Zhou Tianhao directly. Why would he intervene? It is not the time to play hero. He would only bring all of us more trouble.”
Xu Rongfei’s face had turned pale. She nudged Jiang Churan and urged: “What should we do? We need to save him!”
“How? Zhou Tianhao might not harm us because of my dad, but Chen Fan had no family in the city. Plus, he had openly spoken up against Zhou Tianhao. He wouldn’t let that slide easily.” “Jiang Churan said.” “We are so very f.u.c.ked!”
The bodyguard named A-Biao shouted at Chen Fan, “Kid, you have asked for this!” Then he threw a punch at Chen Fan with an arm that was thicker than Chen Fan’s thighs. His fist wheezed across the air and aimed squarely at Chen Fan’s chest. If this punch stroke home, Chen Fan would break at least a few ribs
Faces behind Chen Fan turned paled, seeing the sudden attack. Many young teenagers stood back to get out of harm’s way.
Xu Rongfei screamed, “Get away!”
To her surprise, Chen Fan turned around and gave her a mischievous smile. “Don’t worry. He is just a piece of cake.”
