Chapter 26

"Th-this... Something's happened! Hurry!" Hai Ge's jaw almost hit the ground. He swallowed hard, grabbed Xiao Zhang, and ran over while pulling out a rubber baton from his waist, shouting, "You! Don't run! Xiao Zhang! Call the police! Call the police!"

"Okay, okay." The young security guard hurriedly responded, took out his phone, and dialed 110 to report the incident.

Hai Ge first ran to the side of the obese woman, shook her a couple of times, and shouted, "Madam Wang! Madam Wang! How are you?"

After being shaken by Hai Ge, the obese woman slowly woke up. She then looked at the bodyguard who couldn't get up beside her and at Lin Fan, instantly shivering. She then pushed Hai Ge away, took out her phone, and dialed a number, crying and shouting, "Hey! Old Wang! What are you doing, what are you doing! Your wife is being bullied, and you still have the nerve to sleep at home!"

"It's right here in the neighborhood, bring all the bodyguards from home! That guy is very strong, Xiao Meng has already been beaten down!"

"Hurry up!"

After saying that, the obese woman hung up the phone with a "snap" and then dialed another number. This time she cried even harder, as if she had suffered a great injustice: "Brother, your sister is being beaten, quickly bring people to catch that thug!"

Looking at the obese woman, Hai Ge couldn't help but twitch his mouth. This person was too shameless, with a first-class ability to twist the facts.

By this time, Xiao Zhang had already finished the call to the police and walked to Lin Fan, lowering his voice to advise, "Brother, take the chance to leave before they come. Otherwise, when the police arrive, you'll be in big trouble. The police station chief is that woman's brother!"

"Ba ba..." Qi Qi subconsciously hugged tighter, looking at Lin Fan with some worry.

"Qi Qi, don't be afraid. With Dad here, there's nothing to worry about." Lin Fan smiled calmly, first comforting Qi Qi, then smiled at Xiao Zhang and said, "Thanks for the reminder, but if he wants to come, let him come. I, Lin Fan, am not afraid."

"You... sigh..." Xiao Zhang sighed, not knowing what else to say.

"You can't leave! If you're tough, don't run! Aren't you strong? Aren't you good at fighting? Just wait!" The obese woman, after making her calls, stood up with Hai Ge's help, pointing at Lin Fan and shouting.

"Hmm?" Lin Fan glanced at the obese woman indifferently, and she immediately shrank back in fear.

At this moment, it wasn't that Lin Fan was stubbornly refusing to leave, but he couldn't leave. Because his daughter was in his arms, witnessing everything. If he left now, it would inevitably leave a bad impression on Qi Qi's young heart, which would not be good for her character development. Besides, he now lived in Jiangnan Waterfront, and running away was not a long-term solution. He would definitely meet them again in the future. If he didn't solve the problem once and for all, it would only bring more trouble to himself and Qi Qi. Moreover, in his previous life of three thousand years, Lin Fan had never acted like a coward to avoid confrontation. Cultivation was about defying the heavens, and it required courage and determination. If he thought of avoiding trouble every time, how could he advance further on the path of cultivation?

A few minutes later, four people ran over from the other side. The leader was a pot-bellied, bald middle-aged man, followed by three tall men in suits.

This middle-aged man was the obese woman's husband, Wang Chao, the largest building materials merchant in Longcheng. The three men behind him were bodyguards, just like Xiao Meng, hired at high salaries.

Over the years, Wang Chao had relied on his brother-in-law's connections to do many underhanded and violent things, which had helped him grow his business. However, he had also made many enemies, so he spent a lot of money hiring bodyguards to protect himself.

Wang Chao usually had four bodyguards around him, and Xiao Meng was the weakest of them. This time, his wife had gone out for a walk and planned to go to the supermarket to buy some things, so he had sent Xiao Meng to help carry the items. He never expected that his wife would be beaten right at their doorstep, which made Wang Chao furious.

Although he didn't like the fat woman, it was through her brother's connections that he had been able to develop his business smoothly. So when he heard that she had been beaten, Wang Chao immediately brought the other three bodyguards to deal with the situation.

"Old Wang, you finally came. That guy beat me. Look at my face, it still hurts, and my waist is almost broken..." The obese woman, seeing her husband and his men, immediately perked up, throwing herself onto Wang Chao and crying.

"Ah Mei, don't worry. Whoever dares to hurt you, I will definitely skin them alive!" Wang Chao seized every opportunity to show his loyalty, patted the obese woman's shoulder to comfort her, then turned his head and said coldly, "You three, go break that guy's legs!"

"No! I want to break all four of his limbs!" Li Dongmei, the obese woman, looked at Lin Fan with venom, gritting her teeth.

"Then break all four of his limbs. I'll take responsibility for anything that happens." Wang Chao nodded and said.

"Yes, Mr. Wang." The three bodyguards nodded in unison, then formed a triangular formation and walked toward Lin Fan.

"Do you three want to end up like him on the ground?" Lin Fan pointed to Xiao Meng, who was still unable to get up.

"Kid, don't think you're invincible just because you beat him. Let me tell you, he's just a nobody. We three are all genuine external martial artists. Dealing with you is like squashing an ant! Xiao Meng wouldn't last three moves against any of us!" The bodyguard in front sneered.

External martial artists?

The bodyguard's words made Lin Fan's mind race. Could it be that this spirit-depleted Earth also had cultivation levels? What level were these so-called external martial artists? Lin Fan, who had come from the cultivation world, still knew too little about this unfamiliar planet. It seemed he needed to do some research.

While Lin Fan was thinking, the three men had already started running. They were much faster than Xiao Meng, and their momentum was even more intimidating. It seemed the bodyguard's words were not exaggerated; they were indeed much stronger than the previous one.

However, these were still not enough to impress Lin Fan.

As the three bodyguards got closer to Lin Fan, Li Dongmei's smile grew wider, and she started thinking about how many slaps she would need to give Lin Fan to satisfy her anger after he was beaten.

Wang Chao leisurely lit a cigarette and watched calmly. He had full confidence in these three bodyguards. They were all experts he had hired from the underground boxing ring, who had survived over ten underground fights.

In the underground boxing ring, where each match was a life-or-death struggle, surviving over ten matches was a significant achievement. It was precisely because of their records that Wang Chao was willing to pay them 300,000 yuan annually.

"Ha!"

In a moment, the bodyguard in front was already one meter away from Lin Fan. He clenched his right fist, his arm muscles bulging, and delivered a fierce uppercut to Lin Fan's chin. The two bodyguards behind him attacked simultaneously, one on each side, delivering whip kicks to Lin Fan's waist.

But Lin Fan did not dodge or flinch, and his expression remained unchanged. To the onlookers, it seemed as if he had been scared stiff.
