Starting with a beautiful woman's private doctor

If someone else had said this, Erniu wouldn't have taken it seriously at all.

But hearing these words from Master Ding made him shrink back slightly. "Then we..."

"Let's just keep watching the show. Anyway, if someone actually dies, it's none of our business."

Ding put the pipe back in his mouth. "Besides, I'm really curious to see how this young man plans to break this deadlock."

"Kid, let me be frank with you, you two scumbags made me lose my inheritance, not just the fifty million!"

Xue Beichen took a deep breath and placed his hands on his knees, a gesture that made Chu Nan feel as if he were seeing the person he had first met in the bar again.

That young master Xue, sitting on the sofa, looking down and controlling everything.

This time, however, his eyes no longer held that composed indifference; instead, they were filled with a ferocity that showed no regard for the consequences.

"Today, I'm not here to ask you for money; I'm here to make you two scoundrels pay for this with your blood!"

At this moment, Xue Beichen's thoughts were very simple.

Now that he is no longer the eldest son of the Xue family, but merely an abandoned person who has lost everything.

He was determined to get revenge before leaving the country!

And it involves taking the most direct, effective, and extreme form of retaliation.

However, Xue Beichen did not lose his composure. He knew very well that with Chu Nan's strength to kill A Bao in an instant, it was impossible for him to be kidnapped.

Therefore, the only option is to target Xia Wantang.

Xia Wantang was excited by Xu Yi's statement at the board meeting, and carelessly left the company only to be kidnapped.

"Young Master Xue, you only said you wanted the secret recipe, not what kind of secret recipe you wanted. Besides, I didn't intend to sell it at the time. It was you who insisted on buying it, so I sold it to you."

As Chu Nan spoke, he observed his surroundings. "It's just a misunderstanding, isn't it? There's no question of anyone playing tricks on anyone."

The flour factory has three floors. The second floor has a large hollow in the middle and many small holes around it.

Xia Wantang is currently hanging in the center of the hollow on the second floor, with her wrists bound by a combination of ropes and chains.

It was clearly to prevent him from using hidden weapons or something similar to break the ropes and rescue Xia Wantang.

We'll have to use our brains to save Xia Wantang.

"Misunderstanding my foot! Do you even know what I've lost because of you two scumbags!"

Now that Chu Nan had arrived, Xue Beichen was too lazy to waste any more words. "You all, teach him a lesson!"

Faced with Xue Beichen's order, Erniu glanced at Ding Ye, who was smoking a pipe and watching the show, and then said, "Young Master Xue, we'll only provide the venue; leave the actual fighting to your own people."

"What did you say?!"

Xue Beichen could hardly believe his ears.

To get these brutes from Nanxiang to cooperate with him, he spent the ten million yuan his father had left him for living expenses abroad.

These guys actually said they'd only provide the venue?

Erniu didn't reply, pretending not to hear.

"you--"

Xue Beichen was furious, but he didn't have any good solutions.

He knew very well that these brutes in the south were different from the guys in the city; they didn't understand what rules were at all.

If a conflict were to break out with them before dealing with Chu Nan, it would be extremely bad.

"Good! Very good!"

Xue Beichen gritted his teeth and waved his hand, saying, "Come out, all of you, and make your move!"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen bodyguards who had been hiding in the shadows appeared.

Chu Nan glanced around and saw that they were all familiar faces.

These were the same people he had taken down instantly at the Night Bar.

Unlike last time when they were unarmed, this time everyone was holding weapons, which gleamed coldly in the dim light of the flour mill, and Chu Nan's motionless figure was reflected on the blades.

Having weapons is one thing; daring to use them is another.

The bodyguards spread out in a fan shape, surrounding Chu Nan, but none of them dared to be the first to rush forward.

The first few men gripped machetes, the tips of which were pointed at Chu Nan, but their feet seemed rooted to the ground.

The one closest to Chu Nan had a trembling hand holding the knife.

It's not that I'm afraid of killing people, it's that the crushing fear from last time is still etched in my mind.

That time at the bar, ten people attacked at the same time, but they couldn't even touch a corner of Chu Nan's clothes. In the blink of an eye, they were all lying on the ground clutching their joints and howling in pain.

The despair of being taken down before you can even see the opponent's movements is not something that can be alleviated by simply having another knife.

"What are you standing there for? Get them!"

Xue Beichen's voice boomed down from the second floor, echoing through the empty flour mill.

The bodyguards exchanged glances, but no one moved.

Taking money to do something is one thing; losing your life is another.

"Useless! A bunch of useless trash!"

Xue Beichen slammed his hand on the armrest, leaping up from his chair. "What are you afraid of? He won't dare fight back!"

He grabbed the handle controlling the chain next to him and shook it hard.

The clanging of the chains produced a piercing metallic sound, particularly eerie in the silent flour mill.

Suspended in mid-air, Xia Wantang swayed with the swinging of the iron chains, letting out muffled gasps from her gagged mouth.

"See that?"

Xue Beichen gripped the handle tightly. "His woman's life is in my hands!"

"If he dares to lay a finger on you, I'll loosen this handle and let this bitch fall from the second floor! Let her land headfirst, her brains splattered!"

"Do you think this kid would dare to fight back under these circumstances?"

The bodyguards exchanged glances again; there was some truth to what they said.

They looked at Chu Nan, who stood still, not assuming any offensive stance, and didn't even look at them.

His gaze remained fixed on the figure hanging on the second floor, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he were calculating something.

He looked as if he was truly trapped by this situation.

Dingye stood at the door, exhaling a smoke ring, the smoke slowly dissipating in the dim light.

"A dozen or so people with weapons surrounded one person, and he was still cowering in fear. That's all the people in the city are capable of."

Erniu frowned as he watched from the side. "This Xue kid knows how to exploit people's weaknesses. He's betting that your little brother cares about that woman and won't dare to fight back."

He clicked his tongue, crossed his thick arms, and said, "If I were that kid, I really wouldn't know what to do if I were threatened like that."

"So, you're not him."

Dingye squinted, the tobacco pipe glowing faintly at his lips.

Finally, the lead bodyguard made a move.

He gripped the machete tightly, the handle sticky from the sweat on his palms.

One step, two steps...

As he drew closer, the phrase kept playing in my mind—he dared not fight back.

As he charged to his third step, he suddenly raised his machete above his head, the blade drawing an arc in the air.

He didn't aim for the neck; even at this point, his body's instincts were still somewhat hampered by fear.

He was afraid he was wrong, he was afraid Chu Nan would fight back, and he was afraid that he would end up lying on the ground before he could even react, just like last time.

As it turned out, his fears were justified.

Just as the cleaver was halfway through its chop, Chu Nan... moved!
