Chapter Thirty-Eight: Lin Chen's Flying Knife

Seeing that Lin Chen remained motionless, Flying Knife Brother sneered inwardly, thinking this kid must have been scared stiff!

In the next moment, almost as the tip of the flying knife was about to touch the skin below Lin Chen's right eye,

Lin Chen finally moved, sneering as he tilted his head slightly. The knife almost grazed his face, and just as it was about to pass, he swiftly opened his right hand and grabbed the flying knife.

How is this possible! How could he not only dodge but also catch my flying knife!

Flying Knife Brother's face turned pale with shock, staring at Lin Chen as if he were a monster, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

The others were also stunned, especially Flying Knife Brother's few henchmen, who looked as if they had seen a ghost.

They knew that Flying Knife Brother had practiced his flying knife skills for over a decade. Although his flying knives were not as fast as bullets, they were no less effective than arrows.

It was with this flying knife skill that Flying Knife Brother had become the king of this area, once taking on ten enemies at once and intimidating them with a single flying knife, preventing them from touching him.

Now, this kid had not only dodged the flying knife but also caught it, which was simply unbelievable. His reaction speed was not something a human should possess!

Lin Chen's eyes were sharp, and Flying Knife Brother felt a shiver run down his spine under his gaze, suddenly having an urge to turn and run.

Lin Chen taunted, "Are you sure you're playing with flying knives? You can't even hit me when I'm standing right in front of you. I suggest you change your nickname. If you can call yourself a flying knife expert, you're insulting the name of the flying knife. Watch closely, I'll show you what a real flying knife is!"

As he spoke, his fingers moved, and the flying knife seemed to disappear from his hand, leaving only a shimmering silver shadow. Lin Chen's finger movements were so fast that they were impossible to see with the naked eye.

Leng Dong had cultivated his mind through music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and had mastered all eighteen martial arts. Playing with flying knives was simply too easy for Lin Chen.

Flying Knife Brother's face turned ashen.

He had always thought his flying knife skills were great and cool, but now, watching Lin Chen's ghostly fingers, he had to admit that compared to Lin Chen, he was just showing off his big knife in front of Guan Gong, bringing shame upon himself!

Suddenly, Lin Chen's fingers trembled, and the occasional glint of cold light from his hand disappeared. Flying Knife Brother, whose face had already turned a liver color, felt a sharp pain in his ear.

"Ah, my ear!"

Flying Knife Brother clutched his ear and let out a惨叫, a faint metallic clinking sound echoing at the same time.

Only then did people notice that the platinum earring on Flying Knife Brother's ear had fallen to the ground, split into two halves.

His right earlobe was covered in blood.

Turning his head, Flying Knife Brother saw the flying knife embedded several centimeters into the wall, and he took a deep breath, too afraid to cry out in pain.

Then he felt a pain in his groin, and he was sent flying.

"Ah—! It hurts! It hurts so much!"

Flying Knife Brother clutched his crotch, his face contorted in pain as he rolled on the ground. His groin was already a bloody mess, clearly indicating that a certain part had been destroyed!

"You scum, how dare you have designs on Bai Lan. She is mine now, and if you dare to insult her, I'll make sure you can never touch a woman again!" Lin Chen said coldly.

Bai Lan's face was slightly red.

Lin Chen had said she was his, and he wouldn't allow others to have designs on her. And he was so angry now. Could it be... Could it be that he meant only he could have designs on her?

Flying Knife Brother's henchmen were all terrified, clearly at a loss due to Lin Chen's ruthlessness and strength.

Wu Rong's face changed drastically, and he turned to run.

Lin Chen coldly smiled and kicked a stone, which hit Wu Rong's thigh. Wu Rong let out a惨叫 and fell to the ground.

Lin Chen took a few steps forward and kicked Wu Rong several meters away, then kicked him again, causing Wu Rong to spit out a mouthful of blood.

"You beast, Zhang Jie worked hard to take care of Keke and Mengmeng, and you not only didn't thank her but also tried to bully her. You scum, you're better off dead. I'll kick you to death now!"

Wu Rong felt the cold killing intent from Lin Chen and quickly begged for mercy, "No, don't kill me, please don't kill me. I won't do it again, I really won't!"

A smell of urine came from his crotch; he had been so scared that he wet himself.

Lin Chen ignored him and was about to kick again when Wu Rong said, "Don't, don't kick me. I'm Keke and Mengmeng's father. If you kill me, they'll be sad!"

Lin Chen's body stiffened, and he finally held back his kick.

However, just as Wu Rong's face showed a hint of relief, Lin Chen said, "I'll spare your life, but not your dignity. You don't deserve to be a father. I'll cripple you now!"

He kicked Wu Rong in the groin, and Wu Rong let out a惨叫 and fainted from the pain.

Clearly, he would never be a man again.

Lin Chen looked at the still twitching Flying Knife Brother and said coldly, "Remember, if you dare to cause trouble here again, I won't just cripple you. I'll break every bone in your body and make you wish you were dead!"

"I won't, I won't do it again!"

Feeling the terrifying killing intent from Lin Chen, Flying Knife Brother trembled, knowing that the young man's words were not empty threats.

"Get out! Take this guy with you!" Lin Chen pointed at Wu Rong on the ground.

The henchmen hurriedly dragged Flying Knife Brother and Wu Rong away, their steps quick as if Lin Chen were an ancient beast that devoured people.

Lin Chen turned and saw the women staring at him in shock, sighing, "Do you think I was too ruthless?"

Zhang Yuerong quickly shook her head, "No, I think you did the right thing. These two are not good people, and they've harmed many women. You... You crippling them was a good deed."

She blushed slightly when she said "crippling them," feeling a bit embarrassed.

Bai Lan also nodded, "Lin Chen, I think you did the right thing!"

Lin Chen smiled in relief, feeling that his actions were justified. Hearing the women's approval, he felt at ease.

Lin Chen then looked at Keke and Mengmeng, "Keke, Mengmeng, will you hate me for hitting your father?"

"No! We don't have a father. The person just now was a bad guy. Big brother, you hit the bad guy, you're a good person!"

Keke, with tears still on her face, answered without hesitation. She then tugged at her sister, "Mengmeng, isn't that right?"

Mengmeng nodded.

Lin Chen smiled, feeling relieved that the girls thought this way.

However, despite the girls' lack of affection for Wu Rong, he was still their father. If he had really killed him, the girls would surely feel sad when they grew up.

That's why Lin Chen had shown mercy to Wu Rong.

Suddenly, Keke pounced on Lin Chen, excitedly saying, "Big brother, you're so amazing, even better than the people on TV. Can you teach me martial arts? Can you?"

Lin Chen quickly caught the little girl, and hearing her request to learn martial arts, he smiled bitterly, "Keke, big brother has something to do today. We'll talk about martial arts later."

Zhang Yuerong hesitated, "How about... How about you two come in and take a look? If you like it, you can stay. But I have to say, if you stay, you can't misbehave!"

Lin Chen was delighted but rolled his eyes, "Sister Zhang, what do you mean by 'misbehave'? I'm a good person, not a hooligan. You don't have to worry about that!"

Zhang Yuerong, seeing his slightly aggrieved expression, chuckled, "I don't think you're a good person. Who has ever kicked a hooligan like a ball?"

Zhang Yuerong then led the way, and Lin Chen and Bai Lan went in to take a look. The environment and layout of the house were very nice, and they chose two empty rooms, settling in immediately.

Zhang Yuerong clearly liked the simple and shy Bai Lan and was very concerned about her, asking about their relationship. Lin Chen only said that Bai Lan was his sister, and Zhang Yuerong smiled ambiguously but didn't ask further.

In the evening, Zhang Yuerong prepared a sumptuous meal, saying it was to welcome them.

Eating the food Zhang Yuerong had prepared, Lin Chen sincerely praised, "Sister Rong, your cooking is really good, not at all inferior to the chefs in restaurants."

After getting to know each other better, Zhang Yuerong asked Lin Chen to call her "Sister Rong" instead of "Sister Zhang," saying it would be more intimate. Lin Chen was happy to comply.

Keke, sitting next to Lin Chen and holding his clothes, heard this and her little face showed pride, saying, "My mom's cooking is the best in the world. My mom is the best mom in the world!"

Mengmeng, tugging at Keke's clothes, also nodded in agreement.

Lin Chen smiled and pinched Keke's little nose, and the little girl wrinkled her nose but didn't resist.

Bai Lan said enviously, "I wish I could cook as well as that."

Zhang Yuerong laughed, "It's just home-cooked food, how can it compare to a chef's? If you like it, I'll cook for you often. I'm just afraid you'll get tired of it after a few times."

Lin Chen chuckled, "How could I? Such delicious food, I won't get tired of it in a lifetime."

At that moment, Lin Chen's phone rang, showing an unfamiliar number. He stepped outside to answer, "Hello? Who is this?"

A somewhat familiar but momentarily unrecognizable middle-aged woman's voice came from the other end.

"Hello, is this Mr. Lin Chen? I'm Zhao Hong, An Xuerao's agent. We met yesterday."

Lin Chen then remembered that this was the capable middle-aged woman who had been with the big star An Xuerao yesterday.
