(Revised Chapter) 106: Chapter 105: From Love to Hatred!
(Revised Chapter) As night deepened, Li Chen did not go straight back to Donghua.
Instead, arranged by Wang Tianxiong, he stayed in a five-star hotel in Tongzhou.
Entering his room, Li Chen sat cross-legged and began to nurture his vitality.
The technique of flicking projectiles through the air on Jiangxin Island, while impressively executed, was a considerable drain on his True Yuan.
Had it not been to intimidate Wang Tianxiong, to take him on as an underling and manage the Jiangxin Island project, he wouldn’t have bothered to such an extent.
Otherwise, given his usual temperament, he would’ve directly obliterated them with Thunder Power, not even leaving behind a trace of bone and dust.
After letting the True Yuan circulate through the Big and Small 36 Circuits within his body, Li Chen exhaled lightly, preparing to wash up and sleep.
His ears twitched slightly, and he called out intently, “Who’s out there?”
Before his words could settle, the door opened!
A graceful figure appeared at the doorway.
Seeing the visitor, Li Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly as he asked sternly, “Miss Zheng, why aren’t you resting in your own room at midnight, and instead are here?”
The visitor was indeed Zheng Rong!
She had deliberately changed into a new dress and applied delicate makeup.
She had spent nearly an hour getting ready!
However, she found that Li Chen’s expression remained unchanged with no hint of surprise, and a trace of sorrow and disappointment surfaced in her eyes.
After a moment, she said composedly, “My father has woken up, I came to thank you!”
After speaking, she looked expectantly at Li Chen.
Hoping he would take her seriously.
However, to her dismay, Li Chen showed little interest in even glancing at her, let alone looking at her directly.
He responded indifferently, “Good, I know.
I won’t disturb you any further!”
Zheng Rong, biting her lip, left with a face full of disappointment.
Although she was not the daughter of a top aristocratic family, she had been the center of attention her whole life, the Heavenly Pride Girl.
When had she ever suffered such coldness?
Moreover, she was particularly spiteful, growing more enraged the more she thought about it.
The seeds of hatred had already sprouted in her heart.
She did not return to her room, instead heading straight for the streets.
Tongzhou, being close to river and sea, had a nightlife that, compared to Donghua, was just as lively, if not livelier.
Although it was late at night, the streets were still flashing with neon lights.
Zheng Rong saw a bar by the roadside and walked straight in.
Heavy metal music pounded, like battle drums, assaulting the eardrums, intoxicating people like a dream.
Ignoring the curious looks of others, she made her way to the bar.
Just then, a burly man approached her.
“Beauty, are you drinking alone here?”
Zheng Rong tilted her neck back and downed a whiskey, looking at the newcomer with a blurry gaze.
The man flashed a smile he thought quite charming and asked, “Have you heard of the Tongzhou Tie Family?”
Hearing the words “Tongzhou Tie Family,” Zheng Rong’s eyes lit up.
The Tongzhou Tie Family, not involved in business or politics, but their status in Tongzhou, even in the entirety of Jiangnan, was extraordinary, belonging to a top-tier faction.
Because they were an Ancient Martial Family!
“You’re with the Tie Family?”
The man appeared quite pleased with himself and nodded slightly toward Zheng Rong.
“Indeed, I am Tie Lang.
May I invite the lady to a quiet place for a drink?”
Zheng Rong smiled and said, “We can drink, but before that, you have to do something for me!”
Tie Lang inquired, “What do you need done?”
Zheng Rong sipped her drink and whispered two words, “Help me deal with someone!”
Zheng Rong thought for a moment and said, “Li Chen!”
Tie Lang was taken aback and asked, “Li Chen?
I haven’t heard of him in Tongzhou.”
Zheng Rong shook her head and said, “He’s not from Tongzhou; he’s from Donghua!”
Tie Lang, puzzled, asked, “Beauty, you don’t mean I should go to Donghua to teach him a lesson, do you?”
Zheng Rong shook her head again, “No, he’s currently in Tongzhou!”
Tie Lang, seeing the tear stains on Zheng Rong’s face, mistakenly assumed that Li Chen was her boyfriend.
After all, it was not uncommon for love to turn into hatred.
Thinking this, he no longer hesitated and readily agreed.
“Alright, I’ll take care of this matter for you!”
