"Maybe I should call Aunt Zhou and let her know what's going on here, just in case something happens later and she blames me," Chu Mei said. Although she liked to show off and was somewhat vain, she still had feelings for Zhou Rongli and couldn't just stand by while Jiang Chen was in trouble.
Chu Mei dialed Zhou Rongli's number again and exaggerated the situation a bit. Her intention was to urge Zhou Rongli to get Jiang Chen out of Dao City as soon as possible. However, to her surprise, Zhou Rongli didn't seem shocked at all by what Chu Mei said.
"Don't worry, Chu Mei. Jiang Chen will be fine," Zhou Rongli replied with a smile, internally complaining that her godson was indeed a handful, always getting into trouble wherever he went.
"Rongli, what's wrong with you? Your godson's girlfriend has seriously injured someone; he could end up in jail! Do you think I'm joking?" Chu Mei said anxiously.
"Really, there's nothing to worry about. Jiang Chen is capable; I can't control everything he does. But don't worry, I won't be dragged down by him," Zhou Rongli said calmly.
Chu Mei felt incredibly frustrated. After talking for so long, Zhou Rongli remained unconcerned. In the end, she had no choice but to hang up the phone helplessly.
"What’s wrong with Zhou Rongli? Even though Jiang Chen isn't her biological son, she should at least care a little. Whatever, I've said what I needed to say. If she isn't worried as his godmother, why should I be?" Chu Mei murmured to herself, feeling annoyed that her good intentions were ignored.
"Forget it, Mom. There's no need to play the good person; let's just turn a blind eye," Wang Duoduo said as she walked over to Young Master Qian's side. Playing the good person, she called an ambulance for Young Master Qian and also contacted Manager Qian. Upon hearing that his son had been injured, Manager Qian flew into a rage and rushed over.
Meanwhile, Jiang Chen had already put the incident behind him and went out for a meal with Lin Yin and Liu Chaowu at a restaurant.
In the afternoon, Jiang Chen didn't return to watch the Martial Arts Competition but instead explored Dao City. The day passed peacefully, and the next day was still filled with the Martial Arts Competition, which continued until the afternoon before concluding.
That evening marked the Martial Arts Arena Tournament. The tournament was held in the Martial Arts Hall but was not open to the public. Most participants were martial arts practitioners who weren't part of major families or schools; those prestigious martial arts families would never participate in such a low-profile arena competition.
It was rumored that Chen Jie Li had invited an elder from the Hidden Sect to oversee this arena event, which attracted many martial artists eager to witness it firsthand since the Hidden Sect only existed in secular legends and few had ever seen it.
That night, not many people could enter the Martial Arts Arena Tournament venue; however, those with wealth and status were exceptions. Tickets for this tournament were extremely expensive—over a hundred thousand each—and without proper channels, even having money wouldn't guarantee entry.
The daytime Chinese Martial Arts Competition offered only a title and some minor rewards for its champion, but the winner of the Martial Arts Arena Tournament would receive a prize of one hundred million. To attract participants for such an arena event, especially those qualified—at least Inner Strength Experts—enticing rewards were essential since even the lowest-ranking bodyguards could earn over a million a year.
Inside the Martial Arts Hall, it was bustling with people of some standing. As Jiang Chen and his companions entered the hall, they noticed a crowd approaching them.
