Chapter 17

After finishing the call, Gufan returned to the arcade, but he couldn't see Chen Jiaxin where she had been.

His heart tightened, and Gufan quickly focused.

The various sounds of the arcade machines were instantly blocked out by Gufan. His ears twitched slightly, and with a darkening face, he strode forward quickly!

Turning a corner, he saw Chen Jiaxin surrounded by four people at a jumping mat game machine.

Gufan hurried over, his face growing even darker.

Chen Jiaxin had never expected such a situation to arise. Without Gufan, the previous competitive game was impossible to play, so she switched to a single-player challenge jumping mat game. However, she didn't expect people to suddenly surround her, wanting to play with her. Their eyes were lecherous, and their appearance and behavior were typical of thugs and perverts!

Chen Jiaxin knew that a girl alone was prone to trouble. But she always thought this was something that only happened in novels, movies, or TV shows, never imagining that she would encounter such a situation in real life.

Suddenly, Chen Jiaxin felt utterly lost and helpless.

Especially when one of the thugs grabbed her wrist, she screamed in terror.

No matter how intelligent Chen Jiaxin was, her feminine nature made her more vulnerable.

"Ah!" As Chen Jiaxin screamed, a cry of pain suddenly rang out.

Chen Jiaxin looked closely and saw Gufan holding the wrist of the thug who had grabbed her. The cry of pain came from this thug.

"Gufan!" Chen Jiaxin suddenly felt like crying. The feeling of finally having someone to rely on in her state of helplessness made her feel a bit more at ease.

"It's okay, I'm here!" Gufan pulled Chen Jiaxin behind him, then shook off the thug he was holding and said coldly, "Get lost!"

"Damn, you almost broke my arm! You're asking for it!"

Clearly, Gufan hadn't scared them. The four thugs, with their fierce expressions, charged at Gufan all at once.

Thugs usually settle scores on the spot, and with four of them, they didn't fear Gufan alone.

As for earlier, it was just that they were caught off guard, not that Gufan was particularly strong.

"Be careful!" Chen Jiaxin's face turned pale. These four thugs, who looked like demons, frightened her, and she was very worried about Gufan.

A hint of a cold smile appeared on Gufan's face. Instead of retreating, he charged straight at the four thugs. In Chen Jiaxin's stunned gaze, he quickly and decisively knocked all four of them to the ground.

Chen Jiaxin didn't even see Gufan's movements clearly; everything was over so fast that it felt unreal to her.

But at this moment, Gufan's figure seemed so tall and strong in Chen Jiaxin's eyes. It felt like she could hide behind him and not worry about any storms... This feeling of having someone to rely on was both unfamiliar and incredibly appealing to her.

"Let's go!" Gufan didn't look at the four thugs again, and he pulled Chen Jiaxin's hand, leading her away. The feeling of holding her hand was very nice, and Gufan wanted to savor this moment.

As expected, Chen Jiaxin didn't resist Gufan's action at all.

However, Gufan was immediately intercepted.

More than a dozen thugs surrounded them.

Chen Jiaxin's palms were sweating; she was terrified by the sudden appearance of these people.

Gufan frowned, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

The music in the arcade suddenly stopped, and a dozen people parted to make way for a fat man smoking a cigar, escorted by two large men, who slowly walked over.

A playful smile appeared on Gufan's face, and he squeezed Chen Jiaxin's hand to calm her down.

Chen Jiaxin looked at the calm Gufan. Although she was still scared, her heart gradually settled.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm the owner here, my name is Huang Dafu! Where are you from, brother?" Huang Dafu took a deep puff of his cigar, exhaled the smoke, and sized up Gufan.

Gufan frowned. Huang Dafu? The owner here? Such a figure was actually the boss? Gufan was a bit unimpressed.

"I'm not from anywhere. Whether you're the owner or not doesn't matter to me. Now, please step aside!" Gufan pulled Chen Jiaxin and tried to leave.

But the thugs immediately stepped forward, showing no intention of letting them pass.

"What's the meaning of this, Boss Huang?" Gufan asked, "Is this a black market? You won't even let us leave?"

"Of course, this isn't a black market, but you beat up my people and think you can just walk away? Aren't you underestimating me, Huang Dafu?" Huang Dafu still smiled, but his smile was now cold.

"Are these your people?" Gufan pointed to the four thugs who were helping each other up and asked with a smile.

"So, brother, you must give me an explanation. Otherwise, how can I face my brothers?" Huang Dafu took another puff of his cigar.

"I didn't want to make a big deal out of it! But now, I can't let this go without a proper investigation!" Gufan laughed lightly, but his voice turned cold and dark, "Since they are your people, do you know what they did?"

"Does it matter what they did? What matters is that you beat up my people!" Huang Dafu said indifferently.

"Oh, so that's how you see it!" Gufan had no intention of arguing further. Since Huang Dafu had said that, it didn't matter what he said. What mattered was that Huang Dafu was clearly trying to bully him.

Gufan wasn't someone who would let others bully him, so he smiled at Chen Jiaxin and said, "Close your eyes!"

"No!" Chen Jiaxin shook her head.

"Be a good girl, you'll be scared!" Gufan said seriously.

"No way!" Chen Jiaxin pouted.

"Then hold my hand tightly!" Gufan didn't insist and pulled Chen Jiaxin forward, heading straight for Huang Dafu.

"How arrogant! You dare to be so arrogant in my territory?" Huang Dafu was already annoyed by Gufan's conversation with Chen Jiaxin. Seeing Gufan coming towards him, he kicked out fiercely.

Despite his obesity, his kick was surprisingly fast, showing that he wasn't just a pampered fat man!

But...

Huang Dafu's speed wasn't slow, but Gufan's was faster, and he was even more ruthless!

Gufan kicked Huang Dafu's leg, and Huang Dafu screamed in pain, falling to the ground. The cigar... the cigar flew out of his hand, no longer a prop for his arrogance.

"Damn, boss!"

"Teach him a lesson!"

The thugs immediately erupted.

They were ready to act as soon as Huang Dafu did, and now that their boss was hit, they had to act.

However, their actions didn't matter. What mattered was that Gufan had no intention of stopping. He charged into the group of thugs.

Chen Jiaxin felt like she was in a dream, a dream with a fantastical quality. In the midst of repeated fear, she experienced a thrill she had never felt before.

Many times, Chen Jiaxin thought the thugs would hit her, but each time, Gufan would move her to a safe position, keeping her completely unharmed.

"How can he be so strong!" Watching the thugs fall one by one, seeing Gufan's calm steps and his composed smile, Chen Jiaxin suddenly felt that Gufan was like a mist, impossible to see clearly.

Three minutes or five?

The time wasn't long, but Chen Jiaxin felt that everything she experienced in this short time surpassed all her previous experiences!

When the dust settled, more than a dozen thugs lay on the ground, none able to stand.

No, one person was still standing, Huang Dafu!

But he wasn't standing comfortably. The kick from Gufan made it impossible for him to support himself with that leg.

Huang Dafu's mouth was open, his face showing obvious disbelief. Clearly, he hadn't expected that so many people not only failed to take down Gufan but were taken down by him, and Gufan looked so relaxed... This was completely unexpected for Huang Dafu.

"Can I leave now?" Gufan, holding Chen Jiaxin's hand, walked up to Huang Dafu and asked, leaning in close.

"Y-Yes, you can!" Huang Dafu instinctively stepped back, not daring to get too close to Gufan.

"Remember, my name is Gufan. If you want to get even, come find me. I believe you have the ability to find me!" Gufan reached out and patted Huang Dafu's face, then left with Chen Jiaxin.

Huang Dafu stood there, looking at his fallen subordinates and the crowd watching, feeling a burning sensation on his face.

Gufan's light pat on his face made Huang Dafu feel a humiliation he had never experienced before!

"Gufan, I remember that name! So what if you can fight? I'll show you how I can destroy you!" Huang Dafu's face, full of fat, trembled, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light.

Leaving the arcade, Chen Jiaxin still felt like she was in a dream, looking at Gufan with admiration.

"Don't fall for me!" Gufan said with a smile.

"Can you be serious? You just ruined my emotional moment!" Chen Jiaxin scolded.

"I'm afraid you'll fall for me!" Gufan laughed and then took out his phone and called Zhu Kun.

"Mr. Gufan!" Zhu Kun was very nervous when he answered the call.

"Do you know Dafu Arcade?" Gufan asked directly.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Gufan, what do you need?" Zhu Kun quickly replied.

"I just had an unpleasant encounter with Huang Dafu. I want him to suffer more. Can you do that?" Gufan gave a direct order.

"Mr. Gufan, rest assured. I'll take care of it. Huang Dafu dared to provoke you; I'll make sure he understands the gravity of his mistake!" Zhu Kun mourned for Huang Dafu. Why provoke Gufan? Doesn't he know he's a devil?

"Very good, I'll wait for your news!" Gufan hung up the phone.

"You're not going to let him off?" Chen Jiaxin was very surprised by Gufan's words.

"Someone like him will definitely seek revenge. It's better to deal with it once and for all!" Gufan wasn't someone who waited for trouble to come to him. Sometimes, he had to be proactive in dealing with trouble.
