Chapter 20: I'll Take Care of It

The two lackeys-like guys obviously hadn't expected Tangtang to suddenly demand driving lessons, but thinking back to Yang Chen's slick maneuvers just now, they both showed a hint of longing. Despite owning good cars themselves, they couldn't pull off those killer stunts.

Yang Chen shook his head unhappily, "No, it's too dangerous. You guys are still kids. Go home and get some sleep. Don't come out racing around late at night."

Upon hearing this, Tangtang's smile instantly faded, and she hmphed, "Uncle, I asked you to teach me because I admire your driving skills. Don't think the fact that you almost crashed into me earlier is just water under the bridge." Her words made Yang Chen chuckle involuntarily, "Oh? How do you plan to settle it then?"

"Aren't you good at driving? Don't you want to go home? Alright, I'll have someone come and smash your car. Let's see how you drive and get home then!" Tangtang smirked triumphantly and gestured behind her. The blond guy immediately took out his brand-new iPhone and dialed a number.

"Brother Yuan Ye, Tangtang sister is being bullied. Come over quickly!" After yelling, the blond guy smirked maliciously at Yang Chen, as if he thought Yang Chen was done for.

Yang Chen casually lit a cigarette, the night stretching on endlessly. He didn't care about disciplining these spoiled rich kids.

"Uncle, you still have a little time left to think. Will you teach me nicely, or do you want you and your car to suffer tonight?" Tangtang's pink wig fluttered gently in the night breeze, her pretty face now resembling a mischievous imp.

Yang Chen ignored her. Words were often the least convincing thing. He was always reluctant to deal with unnecessary people. Slowly, he turned his head and looked at the approaching cars not far away.

Almost in the blink of an eye, three sports cars came to a halt in front of Yang Chen, with the leading one being a new Audi R8, equipped with a remarkable V8 engine. The black body of the car showcased excellent lines, exuding an exquisite texture in the darkness, resembling a proud black knight.

Quickly, a handsome young man dressed in a Versace shirt stepped out of the R8. His face was sharp and angular, with piercing eyes and sword-like eyebrows. His tall and straight posture, coupled with his short hair, gave him a spirited appearance. He looked to be in his early twenties but already carried a sense of maturity.

As this young man, named Yuan Ye, got out of the car, he was followed closely by four male bodyguards dressed in black uniforms, tightly guarding him from behind.

Seeing this scene, Yang Chen couldn't help but show a hint of amusement in his eyes. In this day and age, owning a luxury car didn't necessarily indicate wealth; it could be financed. But hiring bodyguards was a different story. Such individuals were few and far between in Zhonghai, indicating substantial wealth and power or being a significant figure.

Yuan Ye glanced at Yang Chen briefly before immediately shifting his gaze away, as if every extra second spent looking at him was a waste.

"Tangtang, what happened?" Yuan Ye flashed a warm smile and asked Tangtang kindly.

Tangtang, somewhat impatiently, pursed her lips, seemingly not favoring Yuan Ye much, gesturing for the two lackeys behind her to speak.

The two lackeys, perhaps also from wealthy families, appeared extremely obsequious in front of Yuan Ye. While addressing him as "Brother Yuan Ye," they recounted the perilous situation they had just witnessed.

Upon hearing that Tangtang had nearly been hit by Yang Chen's car, Yuan Ye's brows furrowed deeply. His gaze at Yang Chen shifted from initial disdain to gradually turning into cold anger.

"Don't worry, Tangtang, I'll handle this." Yuan Ye spoke gently to Tangtang while making a "take action" gesture to the four black-clad men accompanying him.

The four bodyguards nodded in unison, then simultaneously stepped forward, emitting a palpable aura of intimidation.

Yang Chen, however, chuckled. It seemed these bodyguards had received military training; only soldiers possessed such a presence. But this slight aura was essentially meaningless.

Originally, the four bodyguards had only intended to show off a bit to satisfy their master's request. But as they approached within three steps of Yang Chen, they suddenly felt a powerful force rushing toward them like a raging tsunami!

Their past military experience made them break out in a cold sweat. Their still somewhat sharp senses told them that the man in front of them was extremely dangerous—dangerous beyond anything they had encountered before.

It was like a small whirlwind colliding head-on with a cold current over the entire ocean. The feeling of helplessness emanated from the depths of their hearts.

Yuan Ye, seeing his bodyguards halt, was displeased. "What's going on? Is it so difficult to deal with one person? Or do I have to do it myself?"

The four bodyguards exchanged bitter smiles. Taking money to solve other people's problems, even if they knew they were walking into their own deaths, they had to go through with it!

Almost simultaneously, the four of them charged toward Yang Chen, their violent fists and kicks aiming at his sides and lower body!

Yang Chen exhaled the last puff of smoke, tossing the cigarette butt with sparks into the air. With a light tap of his feet, his body gracefully performed a somersault, landing behind the four bodyguards in the blink of an eye. They passed each other just as he descended.

Next, Yang Chen's hands pulled back, grabbing the collars of two of the bodyguards' shirts. The sudden force caused the two bodyguards to halt abruptly. They felt an irresistible force pulling them backward, and involuntarily, they were sent flying backward!

Like a movie special effect, Yang Chen's body, propelled by the counterforce of throwing the two bodyguards, retreated and lay down. At the same time, his arms bent, delivering two elbow strikes directly to the remaining two bodyguards' lumbar vertebrae!

In the blink of an eye, with lightning-fast combination moves, the four bodyguards who had just charged forward were knocked to the ground, crying out in pain and struggling to get up.

The cigarette butt tossed into the air by Yang Chen finally landed on the asphalt, sparking a few small flames.

Yuan Ye, who had just vowed to avenge Tangtang, was stunned by the sudden turn of events, unable to utter a word. The two boys who had witnessed Yang Chen's stunt driving skills were dumbfounded, hiding behind Yuan Ye in fear, dare not look at Yang Chen again.

Only Tangtang's eyes showed an unusual excitement, as if she had seen something extremely thrilling, her gaze toward Yang Chen constantly changing.

Yang Chen clapped his hands, somewhat unsatisfied, shaking his head. He teased Yuan Ye, "Young master, still want to stand up for this little girl?"

Originally, Yang Chen thought that upon seeing his overwhelming dominance, Yuan Ye would choose to back down and not intervene anymore. However, Yuan Ye's behavior was unexpected.

But even after hesitating for a moment, Yuan Ye firmly continued to stand in front of Tangtang. Although his tone was no longer domineering, he spoke earnestly, "I admit your skills are impressive, but don't think we'll be afraid of you because of this. I will definitely protect Tangtang."
