The bodyguards from Lian Rentang drew their iron sticks, ready to strike, and the atmosphere became instantly tense to the extreme.
Chen Xuan, however, remained calm, "Money, I won't give it to you. If you want it, come and take it!"
Lian Qigang's eyes were filled with malevolence, "Fine, you're asking for it! Attack him until he repays the debt!"
At Lian Qigang's command, the bodyguards swung their sticks and rushed towards Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan quickly pulled Qin Hongyu behind him, preparing to counterattack.
Hiding behind Chen Xuan, Qin Hongyu's lips curled into a small smile of happiness.
For the first time in her life, she felt a sense of security that she had never lacked before...
However, just as the Lian Rentang bodyguards were about to reach Chen Xuan.
"Stop it, all of you!" A furious shout suddenly erupted.
