Jiang Chen had already made enemies after killing Hu Yuan. If he were to kill Dong Mingshui as well, he would only accumulate more foes. No matter how powerful Jiang Chen was, having too many enemies would lead to trouble. As expected, Jiang Chen's expression was not good.
"Disappear from my sight in ten seconds," Jiang Chen said calmly.
His voice was abrupt, catching Dong Mingshui off guard. Initially stunned, Dong Mingshui soon looked at Jiang Chen with disdain and said, "Kid, who do you think you are? I advise you not to interfere with my pursuit of Miss Yue, or I’ll toss you into West Lake to feed the fish."
"Dong Mingshui, I advise you not to provoke Mr. Jiang, or you'll end up regretting it," Yue Hui quickly interjected.
However, it was clear that Yue Hui's warning fell on deaf ears. Dong Mingshui had always been arrogant and felt untouchable in Hangcheng; he certainly wouldn't take Jiang Chen seriously.
"Miss Yue, are you trying to scare me? With him? Even if I lent him a hundred times my courage, he wouldn’t dare lay a finger on me," Dong Mingshui sneered.
"Five seconds left," Jiang Chen said again.
"No need to count; I'm not leaving. What can you do about it?" Dong Mingshui laughed dismissively.
Yue Hui shook her head; she felt helpless. If Dong Mingshui was determined to seek his own demise, who could stop him?
"Alright, time's up. Since you're not leaving, I'll help you on your way," Jiang Chen said. He had no intention of showing mercy to such a troublemaker. With a swift motion, he slapped Dong Mingshui and sent him flying.
With a loud splash, Dong Mingshui landed in West Lake.
"Kid, you're asking for death by daring to hit Master Dong!" a middle-aged man beside Dong Mingshui reacted angrily. He was Dong Mingshui's bodyguard, an Inner Strength Expert whom Dong Mingshui had hired at great expense. He had boasted that as long as he was around, no one could harm a hair on Dong Mingshui's head. Now, however, Dong Mingshui had been slapped away right in front of him.
"Just an Inner Energy practitioner dares to boast in front of me," Jiang Chen remarked before striking again. Without any suspense, the bodyguard met the same fate as Dong Mingshui and was sent tumbling into West Lake.
"You dare hit me? I won't let this go! My dad is the chairman of Lilon Group!" Dong Mingshui shouted while flailing in the water.
"Mr. Jiang, don’t pay attention to trash like this. Let’s go," Yue Hui said and instructed the crew to move the boat away.
"Jiang Chen, you were too heavy-handed just now. That young man is no ordinary person; we can't afford to offend him," the elderly lady expressed her concern. In terms of power and background, the Dong Family was even more formidable than the Yue Family.
"Don't worry, Grandma. Let's continue our tour of West Lake," Jiang Chen replied with a smile. In his eyes, such a wastrel was hardly worth considering; today he had spared a life. If they continued to provoke him without recognizing their place, Jiang Chen would not hold back next time.
Dong Mingshui and his bodyguard were rescued from the water. Holding his swollen cheek in pain, Dong Mingshui seethed with hatred for Jiang Chen. In his thirty-plus years of life, no one had ever dared to hit him like that.
"Weren't you supposed to be a Martial Arts Expert? How could you not handle a young man? What did I hire you for?" Dong Mingshui questioned his expensive bodyguard with dissatisfaction as he noticed that even the expert’s face was swollen like his own.
"Master Dong, that kid is also a Martial Artist with considerable strength; I underestimated him," the bodyguard quickly explained. As an Inner Strength Expert himself, being slapped away by a young man would be embarrassing if word got out among his peers in martial arts.
"Stop making excuses! You've disappointed me greatly; if you can't protect me, what use are you?" Dong Mingshui said impatiently.
"Don't worry, Master Dong, I will definitely avenge you. I'll call my senior brother right away," the bodyguard said, unable to swallow his anger.
"Who is your senior brother?" Dong Mingshui asked.
"My senior brother lives in Hangcheng. He has long since retired from the martial arts world, but his strength is far greater than mine. He is a Master of Transformation and can project Inner Energy to injure people from a distance. I will ask him to come to West Lake and teach that kid a lesson," the bodyguard replied.
"Then I'll give you one more chance," Dong Mingshui said lightly.
This bodyguard, a disciple of the Bagua Sect named Zhu Kaijun, had average talent but was diligent. After decades of training in the sect, he had developed Inner Energy and could be considered a local expert. However, in the vast world of Huaxia Martial Arts, where talents abound and heroes emerge, his Inner Energy was insignificant compared to true masters. After leaving his sect and returning to the mundane world, he could only make a living as a bodyguard.
His senior brother, Liu Chaowu, was far more talented than him and was over a decade older. In his forties, he had already reached Transcendence. However, due to family reasons, Liu Chaowu left the sect and moved to Hangcheng, where he opened a private martial arts school specializing in Bagua Palm to promote the teachings of their sect.
Now, Liu Chaowu was the President of the Hangzhou Martial Arts Association. His presence was often seen at martial arts exchanges in Hangcheng. However, today's martial arts were no longer about killing techniques; they focused primarily on health and fitness. As the President of the martial arts association, Liu Chaowu naturally adhered to these principles.
Zhu Kaijun took out his phone and called Liu Chaowu, embellishing the story by saying that Jiang Chen not only injured him but also insulted their Bagua Sect. Naturally displeased upon hearing this, Liu Chaowu replied sternly, "You wait there; I'll be right over."
Seeing his senior brother agree to come, Zhu Kaijun hung up with excitement. "Master Dong, don't worry! My senior brother's strength is ten times stronger than mine; he will definitely teach that kid a harsh lesson," Zhu Kaijun said.
Dong Mingshui's expression darkened as he ordered his boat to follow Jiang Chen's.
Yue Hui noticed that Dong Mingshui was still following them and her expression immediately soured. This Dong Mingshui seemed to be asking for trouble.
Zhou Xuemei and Lin Jingzhu also saw the boat trailing behind them.
"Jingzhu, maybe we should leave first. Dong Mingshui is notorious in Hangcheng for being a spoiled rich kid. After Jiang Chen hit him just now, he won't let it go and will definitely call for help. We don't need to get entangled with him," Zhou Xuemei said worriedly.
As a local of Hangcheng, she instinctively feared the Dong Family—a colossal entity in the area. The Dong Family used to be the richest in Hangcheng, but in recent years, they had faced challenges due to rapid internet development and their wealth had grown slowly. Nonetheless, their foundation was not something an ordinary family could compare with; even the Yue Family fell short in comparison. Not to mention that Zhou Xuemei's family was just an ordinary one. To put it bluntly, the Dong Family could easily make her family suffer with just a flick of their finger. Therefore, seeing Jiang Chen strike Dong Mingshui earlier made Zhou Xuemei naturally anxious; she wasn't afraid of Dong Mingshui causing trouble for Jiang Chen but rather worried about being implicated herself.
