Chapter 289: A Close Shave

The wiry man stared at Rong Anyao, his smile twisting into something more grotesque.

But just then, a knock came from the door.

“Damn it, who is it? Didn’t I fucking say not to disturb me?”

The wiry man tugged at his shorts, then grabbed a bath towel and wrapped it haphazardly around himself.

“What is it!”

The man walked to the door, but before he could open it, a loud BANG sounded as the door was kicked open from the outside.

The wiry man had no time to react before the impact of the door sent him stumbling back a few steps and landing on his ass on the floor.

The one who kicked in the door was none other than Jiang Fan.

“Bastard, who are you? How dare you ruin my fun!”

Without a word, Jiang Fan slowly walked into the room. As soon as he entered, he saw Rong Anyao lying on the bed.

“Yaoyao, Yaoyao!”

Jiang Fan went to her side and gently shook Rong Anyao, but she didn’t react at all.

“Fuck, who the hell are you? How dare you ruin my fun!”

Then, he yelled toward the door, “Where the fuck are you guys? What are you good for?”

Looking at the unconscious Rong Anyao, Jiang Fan was now burning with rage.

He slowly walked up to the wiry man, who instinctively got up and took two steps back.

Then, he fumbled for a clothes rack in the corner, picked it up, and charged directly at Jiang Fan.

“Go die, you bastard! I’m gonna cripple you!”

But to Jiang Fan, the wiry man’s movements were nothing more than a clumsy slow-motion replay.

He dodged the wiry man’s strike in a flash, then snatched the clothes rack away and smashed it down on the man’s head.

In the next moment, the wiry man was a bloody mess, sprawled on the ground.

“Argh…” With a pained scream, the wiry man yelled toward the door, “What are you good for? Are you just waiting outside to die?!”

Jiang Fan snorted coldly. “Are you talking about the four dogs that were following you? Sorry, but I already took care of them before I came in.”

Jiang Fan pulled four daggers from his person and threw them onto the floor.

“Those four are in worse shape than you. They actually tried to pull a knife on me. I’d guess they won’t be getting up for at least half a month!”

“You… who the hell are you?”

“Me? You can think of me as the grim reaper. You shouldn’t have, of all things, gone after Rong Anyao, and with such despicable methods.”

“Brother, it’s just a woman, right? We can talk this out. I’m from Chenel. Ever heard of the Liu Family of Chenel? I’m Liu Yingtai. Whoever Rong Anyao is to you, just name your price!”

Jiang Fan sneered. “I don’t care about Chenel or the Liu Family. All I know is that you did something you shouldn’t have!”

As he spoke, Jiang Fan started walking toward Liu Yingtai again.

But Liu Yingtai’s expression turned vicious. He suddenly snatched one of the daggers from the floor and lunged at Jiang Fan.

“Hmph…”

Jiang Fan snorted coldly. The next moment, Liu Yingtai was on the ground again, and there was a dagger in his hand.

However, the dagger wasn’t being held in his hand—it was stabbed through the back of it.

Instantly, a scream like a stuck pig filled the entire room as blood sprayed from the back of his hand.

“Bastard, I’m going to kill you!”

It was at this moment that a group of people flooded in from outside the room.

Four or five men in security uniforms were in the lead, followed by two or three burly men in suits.

Seeing the situation, the security guards immediately drew electric batons from their waists.

“Don’t move! Who are you?”

“Young Master Liu, what’s going on?”

Liu Yingtai looked at the group who had just entered and cursed, “What is your hotel good for?! Get him already! Be careful, or I’ll tear this whole place down!”

The security guards looked at Liu Yingtai, then at each other.

Jiang Fan smiled faintly. “I’d advise you not to make a move. You saw the guys by the door. They’re no worse than you. You’re all just earning a wage, why throw your lives away? My only problem is with this guy!”

After hearing Jiang Fan’s words, the security guards were clearly hesitant.

Even though they were holding electric batons, not one of them stepped forward.

Just then, one of the men in suits behind the guards shouted, “Damn it, make your move! What are you afraid of him for?!”

“If you don’t hurry up and take care of this madman, watch out, or I’ll have you all fired!”

The guards exchanged uneasy glances. Hearing the words of the man in the suit behind them, one of the braver ones charged forward.

The others behind him, seeing their leader charge, quickly followed suit.

Jiang Fan shook his head helplessly, then rose and with a flurry of flips and dodges, quickly took down the security guards.

This time, however, he didn’t use lethal force on the guards. After all, they were just trying to make a living.

“Damn it, what are you good for?”

Seeing the security guards knocked to the ground, Liu Yingtai instantly panicked. He scrambled to his feet and tried to run out the door.

But Jiang Fan’s rage had not subsided, and he certainly wasn’t going to let Liu Yingtai off so easily.

He grabbed Liu Yingtai by the collar, kicked him viciously to the ground, and then followed up with a brutal stomp.

The next moment, with the sound of cracking bone, Liu Yingtai collapsed, his pig-like squeals continuing.

For a moment, the few remaining men still on their feet all retreated a few steps toward the doorway, none of them daring to come forward.

“Bastard, I’ll kill you! I’m definitely going to kill you!” Liu Yingtai screamed hysterically.

Jiang Fan paid him no mind, walking over to loom above Liu Yingtai.

“Someone from Chenel dares to come to Yang City and act so high and mighty. You’re one of those who won’t cry until you see the coffin, aren’t you!”

As he spoke, Jiang Fan’s gaze locked onto Liu Yingtai’s other leg.

Liu Yingtai’s face went pale with fright. He, who had just been screaming threats, now saw the almost cannibalistic look in Jiang Fan’s eyes. At this moment, he was truly and utterly terrified.

“Brother, spare me! How much money do you want? Name a price, I can give you anything!”

“Money? You think you can buy me off?”

“Isn’t money what you want? I didn’t even touch Rong Anyao. Whatever you want, I can pay it as compensation.”

At the mention of Rong Anyao, Jiang Fan couldn’t help but glance back at her. If he hadn’t arrived so quickly, Rong Anyao would have already suffered a terrible fate.

Besides, despite all the commotion, Rong Anyao hadn’t reacted at all. He checked her pulse; it was extremely weak and chaotic.

It would have been better if Liu Yingtai hadn’t mentioned Rong Anyao. The moment he did, Jiang Fan’s anger flared up again.

“Damn it!”

Jiang Fan raised his fist, preparing to smash it into Liu Yingtai’s face.

But the next moment, Jiang Fan felt his hand being caught.

He frowned, sensing a powerful force.

Looking up, he saw that it was, surprisingly, a woman.

“Jia!”

“Jia!”

Several people in the crowd called out respectfully. The men in suits from before now had looks of joy on their faces.

The guards Jiang Fan had knocked down also hurriedly retreated behind the woman.
