Chapter 142: I'm Hitting You Specifically!

"Damn it, Brother Zhe, that's just unfair! You use the same trick every single time. I'm out, I forfeit!"

The silver-spoon second-generation heir could only shake his head. His family was wealthy, but the fortune didn't belong to him just yet. Consequently, the funds he had at his disposal for picking up women were a tier below Brother Zhe's.

Liu Yong, sporting grandma-gray dyed hair, gazed at Chen Muxue's breathtaking face with a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes. He whipped out his phone as well. "Beauty, six million! I'll give you six million, what do you say?!"

Although his available funds weren't quite as vast as Brother Zhe's, he was utterly captivated by Chen Muxue and refused to give up so easily.

Seeing Brother Zhe and Liu Yong's relentless determination, the pack of rich kids began to whistle and hoot, egging the two of them on to duel right then and there.

Hiding in the background, Chen Peng couldn't help but smile at the scene. Yet, his smile was different from the others; deep within his eyes lay the sheer gratification of revenge, thoroughly relishing the sight of Su Zheng taking a hit.

Chen Muxue's face was flushed with shame and anger. The actions of this group of wealthy parasites filled her with profound humiliation, causing her to instinctively tug at Su Zheng's arm with a furious look in her eyes.

"Swish!"

With an icy expression and too disgusted to waste words with these scumbags, Su Zheng took a single step right up to Brother Zhe and Liu Yong.

These scumbags really were lawless, daring to flirt with Chen Muxue right in front of him. They must have been tired of living!

Lifting his hand, he delivered two crisp slaps—"Crack, crack!"—sending Brother Zhe and Liu Yong spinning in place before crashing to the ground.

"Hiss... How the hell dare you hit me?!"

Brother Zhe flew into a rage, never expecting Su Zheng to be so tyrannical as to slap them without a second word.

The entire group froze. Relying on their status, no one had ever dared to treat them this way before. For a moment, they were too stunned to react, but under the sweep of Su Zheng's fierce gaze, they involuntarily stepped back.

"Chen Peng?!"

Spotting Chen Peng hiding in the back, Su Zheng's expression turned even frostier.

He finally understood why these people had blocked the way and picked a fight in public; the mastermind behind all this must have been Chen Peng!

"You... you dare resort to violence here? Have you got a death wish?!"

Chen Peng scolded, putting up a fierce front while rapidly retreating, thoroughly terrified by the chilling aura radiating from Su Zheng.

"I think you're the one with a death wish!"

Su Zheng roared coldly. Ignoring the gasps echoing around them, he took another step right up to Chen Peng and raised his hand to strike!

"Slap! Slap, slap..."

With one hand, he grabbed Chen Peng by the collar; with the other, he rained frantic slaps across his face.

Chen Peng's cheeks swelled up instantly, and bloody froth flew from the corners of his mouth.

This spectacle terrified the onlookers. These privileged youth had rarely, if ever, witnessed such violent brutality in their lives, and many fled far away, not daring to linger close by.

Since Brother Zhe and Liu Yong had also been slapped, they naturally harbored a deadly hatred for Su Zheng. Seeing him pummeling Chen Peng, they began shouting at the top of their lungs toward the lobby.

"Security! What the hell are you guards doing? Get out here right now, there's a thug beating people up!"

Prompted by their cries, a group of security guards rushed out, charging straight at Su Zheng.

Although they hadn't yet figured out what was going on, they had to stop Su Zheng immediately, or Chen Peng's face was going to be beaten into pulp!

"Stop right there! Who do you think you are? This is the Grand Bay, public violence is not tolerated here!"

The security guard shouted at the top of his lungs, but the moment his hand touched Su Zheng's arm, a surge of overwhelming force hurled him flying through the air.

Su Zheng continued raining fierce blows on Chen Peng, swatting the two guards away like annoying flies without breaking his stride.

"Su Zheng!"

Even Chen Muxue couldn't bear to watch any longer. Chen Peng's face was now swollen like a pig's head, barely recognizable as human, and the whites of his eyes were rolling back as if he were about to pass out.

Fearing that it might end in murder—and considering that Chen Peng was, after all, a member of the Chen family—she didn't hold any fondness for her eldest uncle's household, but neither did she want Su Zheng to actually beat Chen Peng to death.

Su Zheng delivered two final slaps before loosening his grip, tossing the half-dead Chen Peng onto the ground. He then turned to face Brother Zhe and Liu Yong, who were still blocking the doorway.

As for the limp Chen Peng sprawled on the pavement, he didn't even spare him a direct glance, treating him as though he were discarding a pile of trash.

"Swish!"

At that moment, a swarm of security guards poured out from the lobby, shielding Brother Zhe and Liu Yong in the center while keeping a wary, tense eye on Su Zheng.

The commotion had long since drawn a crowd, with many people stopping in their tracks from afar to whisper and speculate.

"What's going on here? To dare cause trouble at the Grand Bay—that's a first!"

"You said it! Is this guy out of his mind? His life is practically over; he has no idea whose turf this is!"

"I think he must have been pushed to the absolute limit, or he wouldn't have done this."

"Right, Liu Yong and his crew are no angels anyway. They've looked punchable for a long time!"

All sorts of comments drifted through the air, and the area was packed tighter than a drum in no time.

"Shut the hell up, all of you! This bastard threw the first punch! Damn it, he's not leaving this place alive today!"

Catching snatches of the surrounding gossip, Brother Zhe wore a vicious expression.

Su Zheng's slap had swollen half his face, and he now glared at Su Zheng with murder in his eyes.

"Hmph! Go get your manager right now! I demand an explanation for what happened today!"

Liu Yong also clutched his face as he bellowed at the security guards.

Before long, the lobby manager of the Grand Bay appeared. Parting the security guards as he stepped out of the lobby, he took in the bedraggled states of Brother Zhe and Liu Yong.

"Young Master Zhe, Young Master Yong, what happened here? Who on earth had the audacity to lay hands on you?!"

As the lobby manager of this establishment, he naturally recognized the two young men as regular patrons who frequently dined here.

"It was that bastard right there! Let me tell you, Old Zhao, you are taking full responsibility for this today. We were assaulted right here inside the Grand Bay, and if word gets out, it won't do your reputation any favors!"

Brother Zhe snapped angrily, casting a fierce glare at Su Zheng in the process.

"Young Masters, we are expecting a distinguished guest at the Grand Bay today. Could I ask you both to calm your anger slightly? I will handle this impartially. Shall we head inside and take a seat first?"

Manager Zhao was a middle-aged man who had already roughly pieced together what had transpired.

His priority was to escort the two young men inside before figuring out a solution. After all, the boss had personally called earlier to instruct them that an honored guest was arriving; if any disruption offended that VIP, his own job would be on the line.

"Going inside is fine, but you need to drag this bastard in here and make him kneel on the floor, kowtow, and beg for mercy. Then I might let it slide!"

Brother Zhe said with a cruel grin.

"Right, and bring that chick inside too!"

Liu Yong pointed a finger at Chen Muxue.

Manager Zhao felt a slight twitch of speechlessness. These spoiled brats were truly a pain in the neck—beaten to a pulp and still obsessed with women!

After a brief internal deliberation, he weighed the priorities. To ensure the upcoming VIP's arrival went off without a hitch, it seemed he had no choice but to wrong that man and woman!
