Chapter 170 - 170 Threat

Chapter 170: Chapter 170 Threat

The place Liu Mingyu pointed out was the same restaurant where Yang Chen had taken her for the first time, where later she would come alone and encounter Li Jingjing's family and Jiang Shuo. After making a call to Wang Ma at home, Yang Chen drove together with Liu Mingyu to this locally renowned Chinese restaurant.

Once they entered the corner of the main hall and sat down after ordering their dishes, they naturally started chatting. However, not long after, Liu Mingyu, who was laughing and chatting, suddenly showed a trace of unrest on her face, and swiftly stood up from her seat with a "swoosh" sound, her gaze fixed towards the entrance of the restaurant.

"Mingyu, what's wrong?" Yang Chen turned back in confusion to where Liu Mingyu was looking.

When he saw the person walking towards them, Yang Chen felt a sense of familiarity at first. After a moment's thought, he remembered it was Wang Yue, the female PR from another company whom he and Liu Mingyu had encountered during their first visit to this restaurant, the one Yang Chen had playfully called "Songdao Feng."

Wang Yue wasn't dressed in professional attire this time. Instead, she wore a light pink floral dress and white high heels, her petite and delicate figure complementing her rosy cheeks and alluring red lips, exuding a charming feminine charm.

She wasn't accompanied by the two male companions as before but was instead gently linked arm in arm with a tall man, appearing blissful and content. The man was dressed in a well-tailored Armani suit, the smooth lines and delicate light patterns highlighting his inherently masculine charm.

His sturdy physique, coupled with his fair skin and sharp features, stood out prominently as he walked alongside Wang Yue, drawing the attention of numerous diners in the restaurant.

Yang Chen didn't understand why Liu Mingyu reacted so intensely. Even though they saw Wang Yue, their competitor from the same industry, last time Liu Mingyu had calmly exchanged words with her, showing no signs of panic. But at this moment, as Liu Mingyu gazed at the approaching couple, her once composed face now alternated between pale and flushed, her breathing unusually short.

At this moment, Wang Yue and the man who had approached finally noticed Liu Mingyu standing there.

Because she had just taken on the role of the head of the PR department, Liu Mingyu's attire was much more restrained than before, wearing a somewhat outdated black suit with loose cotton trousers and low-heeled sandals. But with her exceptionally beautiful face, it was still easy to recognize her distinctive elegance.

In the instant when the man and Liu Mingyu made eye contact, he seemed stunned for a moment too. But then, he quickly regained his composure and continued to approach with a smile.

Seeing Liu Mingyu, Wang Yue immediately glared at her as if she had encountered an archenemy, "Oh, it's Minister Liu, who just took office. You're really persistent, aren't you?"

Liu Mingyu remained silent, her eyes already reddening, tears glistening as she looked at the man beside Wang Yue. Noticing Liu Mingyu's unusual behavior and following her gaze to the man next to her, Wang Yue immediately laughed smugly, "Looks like Minister Liu is quite interested in my boyfriend. How about it? Isn't my Qiqi handsome? Well, it's not surprising. After all these years, Minister Liu, selling herself here and there, probably hasn't found a boyfriend yet. What kind of man would want you? Really pitiful..."

Liu Mingyu ignored her, her eyes fixed on the man beside Wang Yue. She asked, "Qi Kai, when did you come back?"

The man named Qi Kai smiled easily, "Actually, I retired more than a year ago. I was working in another province, serving as a department manager at a company. I returned to Zhonghai two months ago to be a director at the local branch."

"More than a year ago..." Liu Mingyu shook her head slightly. "Why? Why didn't I know anything?"

"What do you want to know? Why should you know?" Qi Kai found it amusing and raised an eyebrow. "Even though we were pretty close in college, it's not like I had to report everything to you."

Seeing that Qi Kai knew Liu Mingyu, Wang Yue immediately pouted and said to him, "Qiqi, why are you talking to this vixen? I don't want you reminiscing with her!"

"What?"

"A field soldier, in the special forces, specializing in capturing criminals. I've killed quite a few people too," Qi Kai said menacingly.

Yang Chen shook his head. "That has nothing to do with me. I'm just asking if you will apologize or not."

"Apologize? I didn't say anything wrong, so why should I apologize? I won't apologize. What can you do about it?"

"You should apologize. I don't want to make a scene and disturb everyone's meal here," Yang Chen said, glancing around at the onlookers.

Qi Kai snorted. "Your words are just like farting to me! I'm telling you, if you dare to put on that attitude in front of me and demand an apology again, I'll knock you out right here and now."

Before Qi Kai could finish his sentence, Yang Chen suddenly stepped forward, moving so quickly it was as if he left a blur behind. Qi Kai only saw a flash before he felt a massive force grabbing his arm, lifting him off the ground and hurling him through the air!

"Boom—"

"Crash, clang..."

Qi Kai's tall, muscular frame, over 1.8 meters tall, was abruptly thrown in an arc through the air, flipping over Yang Chen's shoulder and crashing violently onto a table behind Yang Chen! The table shattered under the force, splitting in two, with all the dishes, food, and drinks spilling onto the floor, splattering onto Qi Kai's expensive Armani suit.

The restaurant erupted in screams as the customers witnessed the scene. Many quickly backed away from their seats, keeping their distance to see what was happening.

As for Liu Mingyu and Wang Yue, the two women stood dumbfounded, unable to believe that in just an instant, the previously smug and boastful Qi Kai had been overthrown and slammed to the ground by Yang Chen!

Yang Chen stepped forward and planted his foot firmly on Qi Kai's chest. Lying on the ground, covered in food and drink, Qi Kai looked pathetic. He coughed due to the impact, his mind dazed and unclear.

"I told you to apologize. When I pay to have a meal, I just want to enjoy it in peace, understand? But not only did you refuse to apologize, you had to boast about being a special forces soldier and threaten to take me down. Take down who? I hate it when people threaten me!"

As Yang Chen finished speaking, he applied a bit more pressure with his foot on Qi Kai's chest.

"Urgh—"

A mouthful of blood spurted from Qi Kai's mouth, staining the once white shirt on his chest a deep red!
