Chapter 652: Chapter 655: Attracting Trouble

"Yang, do you really have to be so resolute? Isn't this a bit excessive?" Ning Guodong said in a deep voice.

"I'm not a government official who needs to maintain a polite demeanor. Since you think I'm a thug, I'm certainly going to repay the favor," Yang Chen replied.

"This isn't Zhonghai; this is Yandu," Ning Guodong's words were laden with threats. In Yandu, the Ning family's influence was not to be trifled with.

Yang Chen shrugged, smiling as he sighed, "We see things differently. You compare Zhonghai to Yandu, but to me, as long as it's on this planet, I don't care."

Many of the onlookers shook their heads and whispered among themselves, mostly thinking that Yang Chen was too arrogant. People were starting to eagerly anticipate the drama that was about to unfold.

Li Dun gave Yang Chen a thumbs-up with a grin, while Cai Yan bit her lip, her eyes wide with anticipation. Only Cai Ning furrowed her brows, looking somewhat puzzled and worried.

The club's manager was sweating profusely, afraid to maintain order or even say a word. He knew he couldn't handle these young masters and hoped that things wouldn't escalate further.

Ning Guodong's face tightened. "Yang Chen, do you really think that just because you have the Yang family's status, I'd be afraid of you? In Yandu, I can do much more than you imagine."

"I think you're mistaken. This has nothing to do with the Yang family," Yang Chen shook his finger, "And I particularly dislike being threatened."

Ning Guodong, of course, wasn't going to apologize. Being publicly humiliated like this had ignited his pride. He coldly sneered, "You can dream on. For the sake of Brother Li, I'll let this go. But I must tell you, given the chance, I will still pursue Ruoxi in Zhonghai. I will never give up. What can you do about it?"

Ning Guodong was infuriated and didn't care about the consequences. He let out his deepest frustration with Yang Chen, who, in his eyes, was an extremely vulgar man. Not only did he have many beautiful women around him, but he was also Lin Ruoxi's husband, which was unbearable for Ning Guodong!

Yang Chen's face turned cold, and he sneered, "So that's your true intention."

Ning Guodong's expression became grim. "So what if it is? Sooner or later, I will take the woman I want."

The crowd was unsure of what was happening, but Cai Ning and Cai Yan understood Ning Guodong's intent. The realization struck them that Yang Chen had been so insistent with Ning Guodong because this guy was openly pursuing Lin Ruoxi!

After making his threats, Ning Guodong waved his hand, intending to lead Yan Buxue and the others to their reserved seats.

However, before they could take more than a few steps, Ning Guodong suddenly felt an overwhelming pressure enveloping him!

He felt as if his entire body's bones were being compressed downwards, especially his legs, which felt like they couldn't support the enormous weight!

"Cough—"

Ning Guodong's throat emitted a strained sound as his face turned red. Despite his efforts to resist, he couldn't control his body, and he slowly bent forward, eventually kneeling on the ground!

Finally, unable to hold his breath any longer, Ning Guodong's knees buckled, and he fell prostrate, his hands on the floor, kneeling in front of everyone!

The surrounding crowd gasped in shock, unable to believe that Ning Guodong had suddenly fallen to his knees!

Yang Chen stood up from his seat and said indifferently, "Since you can't speak, then kneel down and apologize to me. Also, don't entertain any delusions. If you do, it won't be as simple as just kneeling."

With that, Yang Chen walked straight out of the club, the crowd automatically parting to let him pass, no one daring to make a sound. Only the energetic music continued to play in the dance floor.

Li Dun and the Cai sisters, naturally, had lost interest in staying and having fun. They left with Yang Chen.

It wasn't until Yang Chen exited the club that the crushing weight on Ning Guodong finally lifted, allowing him to breathe normally again.

After a long while, Ning Guodong managed to get up from the floor. The people around him barely dared to look at his expression, as if he were engulfed in a dark, chilling shadow!

As Yang Chen left the club, he wasn't in a light mood. After sending Li Dun home, he took Cai Ning and Cai Yan back to the Cai family.

This time, Cai Ning sat in the passenger seat, watching Yang Chen drive in silence. She quietly said, "You were deliberately confronting Ning Guodong, weren't you? Given your nature, you should have dealt with Yan Buxue first, but you clearly targeted Ning Guodong."

Yang Chen took a deep breath and nodded, "It seems you understand me quite well."

"Why? Is it because he wants to pursue Ruoxi?" Cai Ning asked.

Yang Chen gave a bitter smile. "If there were other men eyeing your family, I wouldn't be lenient with them either. I targeted Ning Guodong to hear his true thoughts. Since he hasn't given up on that idea, it means many things are still unresolved."

"I don't understand. You don't have to fear Ning Guodong. Even if he likes Ruoxi, he doesn't pose much competition for you, does he?" Cai Ning questioned, puzzled.

Yang Chen shook his head with a smile. "You'll understand more in the future. He's not just a regular rival. He shouldn't exist at all."

Yang Chen had indeed deliberately made things difficult for Ning Guodong. His clear intention was to determine if Ning Guodong had learned about Lin Ruoxi being his half-sister. So far, it seemed that Ning Guangyao hadn't revealed the truth.

Moreover, Yang Chen needed to know if Ning Guodong had truly given up. With such a "rival" around, there could be future dangers. Yang Chen knew that although Lin Ruoxi appeared cold, her tolerance for her abysmal "nominal father," Lin Kun, indicated that she held family in high regard. This was likely why Ning Guangyao had avoided admitting their relationship, causing Lin Ruoxi significant distress.

If Ning Guodong were to do something extreme in the future, Lin Ruoxi might struggle to deal with him harshly, not wanting to let Yang Chen resolve this threat. Yang Chen could accept being hated by many, but he couldn't bear a rift between himself and his loved one.

Making Ning Guodong publicly humiliated served to push their relationship to the forefront. Yang Chen felt that it was better to confront Ning Guodong openly rather than let him remain a hidden threat. If Ning Guodong sought revenge, it might give Yang Chen a legitimate reason to eliminate him.

As the car approached the Cai family home, Yang Chen asked Cai Ning, "Ning'er, what's the date today?"

Before Cai Ning could answer, Cai Yan quickly replied, "It's May 3rd. Everyone is on vacation for Labor Day, so Ning Guodong and the others have time to go out and play. I was able to take a break and come back too. But why do you ask about the date?"

Yang Chen nodded thoughtfully, muttering to himself, "I need to head back early."

Cai Yan, sitting in the back, didn't hear Yang Chen's mumblings and assumed he was plotting something. She suddenly remembered something and excitedly shouted, "Bad guy! You're not allowed to touch my sister tonight! She's on her period!"

Hearing this, Yang Chen nearly slammed the brakes, his foot almost hitting the gas!

Cai Ning's face turned bright red as she glared at her sister. "What are you thinking, Yan Yan!"

Cai Yan then realized that Yang Chen likely didn't know about Cai Ning's period and thus had no such intention.

"Hmph, he's always up to mischief, so I thought he might be plotting something again," Cai Yan said, lowering her head in embarrassment, feeling a bit guilty toward Cai Ning.

Yang Chen, however, was ignited by Cai Yan's words. He licked his lips and laughed, "You've actually reminded me, but it's alright. If Ning'er is on her period, there's still you, isn't there?"

Cai Yan's heart raced at the thought. Even though she was bold and open, discussing such a topic in front of Cai Ning made her feel a bit shy.

Cai Ning, unable to bear it, closed her eyes to calm herself, though her ears were burning red.

When the car stopped outside the Cai family home, the three of them got out. Cai Yan still kept her head down, not daring to meet Yang Chen's gaze. It was clear that Yang Chen intended to stay at her home, and she was uncertain whether to agree if he came to see her tonight.

Cai Yan's emotions were a mix of apprehension and anticipation, while Cai Ning's feelings were more complex. She had just broken through that barrier with Yang Chen and now realized how many embarrassing things might happen next. Her younger sister seemed to have had that kind of relationship with Yang Chen already, and she was uncertain how to deal with it.

Yang Chen noticed the sisters' peculiar behavior and, suppressing his amusement, looked forward to what he would do in Cai Yan's room. However, before he could enter the house, his phone vibrated.

Irritated, he checked it and found that it was a call from his subordinate, Zhuang Feng, at the branch office.

Receiving a call so late at night indicated an urgent matter, so Yang Chen quickly answered.

"Not good, Director," Zhuang Feng said urgently, skipping pleasantries, "Miss Lin Hui is in trouble!"
