Two loyal female bodyguards immediately stepped in front of Bai Mei as they saw Chu Lingtian walk towards her with a cold expression.
"If I wanted to kill you, you would have already become dead people at the machine security check. So, can you stop me?"
Chu Lingtian's gaze turned icy, his eyes sharp as blades, fixed on Bai Mei and her two close bodyguards.
All three beautiful women trembled violently. They had only heard that eyes could kill before, but had never witnessed it and didn't truly believe it. But now, they found it to be true. Chu Lingtian's gaze was truly terrifying, like a blade, like the king of awakened wild wolves in anger. If encountered by someone with a weaker disposition, they might indeed be scared to death.
"You two, stand down!"
Bai Mei commanded her two bodyguards, then took a step forward, staring intently at Chu Lingtian. "You really shouldn't have killed Li Wei, because his backer, Black Panther, possesses the terrifying power to sweep through the entire Jiangshi city's underworld. Moreover, this person is notoriously cruel. It is rumored that anyone who offends him will not only be killed, but all of their relatives and friends will also be exterminated..."
"Clean this up properly. And for this mess, say it was caused by a clash between your group and the Sanhe Gang. Don't let anyone know I was here, or it won't do you any good."
Chu Lingtian interrupted Bai Mei, relit a cigarette, placed it in his mouth, and walked towards the private room door with his hands in his pockets.
Bai Mei and the two bodyguards were astonished, their souls deeply shaken by Chu Lingtian's unique and overwhelming dominance.
"Thank, thank you for saving me tonight!"
Seeing Chu Lingtian walk out of the private room door, Bai Mei shouted at his retreating figure.
"I didn't come to save you, it was just a coincidence. Consider yourself lucky."
As Chu Lingtian had kicked open the private room door, he had seen Bai Mei kneeling before Li Wei. He guessed that these two must have been enemies, which was why he had just instructed Bai Mei to clean up and not to reveal his involvement in Li Wei's death.
Staring at Chu Lingtian, who had spoken and left, Bai Mei was stunned for a long time.
The two bodyguards were also so frightened that cold sweat broke out all over them. When they recalled how they had angrily ordered Chu Lingtian, this death-god-like man, to give way at the machine security check upon entering the nightclub, a soul-chilling sense of dread washed over them. The more they thought about it, the more fearful and terrified they became.
"We'll immediately take Li Wei's head and rush to stop the Sanhe Gang from continuing their assault on our Honghua Society!"
Bai Mei snapped back to reality and commanded her two close bodyguards.
"Yes!"
The two close bodyguards, upon hearing Bai Mei's order, also returned to their senses and quickly stepped forward to sever Li Wei's head with their knives.
Inside the car, one bodyguard drove, while the other sat in the passenger seat, carrying Li Wei's head in a plastic bag. Bai Mei sat in the back seat.
"Sister Mei, you say that man who killed Li Wei and seemingly doesn't even put Black Panther in his eyes, who exactly is he?"
"He's too formidable, whether it's his courage or his skill, he's like a dragon among men!"
Both bodyguards were still marveling at Chu Lingtian's power.
Bai Mei's mind was also filled with the scene of Chu Lingtian kicking open the private room door and instantly dispatching Li Wei and his subordinates. It was too cold, too cool, too handsome, and too shocking.
"Sister, why don't we try to find out who this powerful man is?"
One bodyguard asked.
"The world is vast, where would we even begin to search? We don't even know his surname. Besides, Li Wei was killed by him, and Black Panther will certainly not let this go. He'll be retaliated against soon, and might not live much longer."
Bai Mei shook her head, a trace of worry in her heart. However, she also regretted not asking for Chu Lingtian's name or leaving a contact method.
Such a powerful man, if he could become a friend, if he could be of use to her, Bai Mei, it would undoubtedly be an immense fortune.
As for Black Panther's retaliation, she, Bai Mei, didn't need to fear being implicated. Her Honghua Society was still in conflict with the Sanhe Gang. If Black Panther made a move, she would definitely not escape being purged.
So, in a sense, she, Bai Mei, and Chu Lingtian now had a powerful enemy to confront together.
But the opportunity had passed, Bai Mei thought, perhaps she would never meet this man, who was as formidable as death itself, again in this lifetime.
Half an hour later, Chu Lingtian returned to his rented apartment. It was already five in the morning.
He first entered the bedroom and saw the two beautiful flight attendants, Chen Yuan and Yuan Jing, still asleep from the knockout incense. He then changed into his athletic wear and went to a nearby park for a run.
From the day he first joined the army until now, nearly six years have passed. Even though Chu Lingtian now possessed astonishing combat power, superb medical skills, and immense influence, he had not forgotten his roots. He insisted on exercising every day to maintain his peak combat readiness.
After his run, dripping with sweat, Chu Lingtian returned to his rented apartment, took a shower, and checked the time. It was almost eight in the morning. According to his prediction, Chen Yuan and Yuan Jing, who had inhaled the knockout incense, would not wake up until around ten in the morning at the earliest.
He put on his security guard uniform, left his apartment, and first went to a store that sold fat intestine noodles, where he ate a bowl of spicy and sour fat intestine noodles and a flatbread with pork. Then, he headed to work.
Last night, he had received a text message from Liu Bingxue saying that she would drive herself to work today and didn't need him to pick her up.
Upon arriving at the company's underground parking lot, Chu Lingtian sat on a chair in the security booth and took out his phone to play the casual game "Yang Le Ge Yang."
He had already passed the second level but couldn't clear the third. However, he had discovered the most crucial point: luck.
The only way to continuously clear this game was to play more. Luck accounted for the majority, and wisdom for a small part, because the game's design was based on luck.
"Brother Chu, you can't be playing games in the security booth today."
Wang Dagang walked into the security booth and said to Chu Lingtian.
Chu Lingtian, while tapping on his phone screen, asked, "What's wrong?"
"Secretary Qin Li just relayed President Liu's order to everyone. Today, everyone in our Baoxue Company, from top to bottom, must be mentally prepared and absolutely not make any mistakes, because a very important person will be visiting our company."
Wang Dagang replied.
"A very important person? Who?"
Chu Lingtian casually asked.
Wang Dagang shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"Alright, I'll finish this round of the game first, and then I'll stand guard with you."
Chu Lingtian wasn't afraid of anything, but he knew that if he didn't follow the company's rules and regulations in this situation, Wang Dagang would be implicated because they were guard partners. In the company, they rose and fell together.
"Holy cow, Brother Chu, look! A limited edition Ferrari! I didn't expect to see such an awesome car in our Jiangshi city. This car is simply too cool!"
Wang Dagang suddenly exclaimed excitedly, patting Chu Lingtian's shoulder.
Chu Lingtian subconsciously looked up and saw a yellow Ferrari sports car driving towards the security gate of the underground parking lot.
He felt a sense of familiarity, and then, upon seeing the license plate, he remembered. The beautiful woman who had almost hit him last night and whom he had extorted a 10,000 yuan for emotional damages – wasn't she driving this car?
What was going on? A fated encounter? Or had this beautiful woman specifically come here to cause trouble for him, Chu Lingtian?
At this moment, Chu Lingtian had no idea that the beautiful woman he had truly terrified into wetting herself last night was actually the most popular female celebrity in the Dragon Country, the universally recognized national goddess!
