Flower City's Peerless Divine Doctor-Chapter 575: Why Are You So Silly

"Babe, I'm not a bad guy, so don't be so tense!"

The bald man caught sight of Yu Xin next to Li Chen, his eyes beaming with a smile.

He'd been with countless women, but scarcely had he seen one as youthful and beautiful as her.

A warm surge rose uncontrollably from his lower abdomen.

Then, striding forward, he came close, "Babe, I'm not unreasonable. I've got a bit of a reputation around here. Your boyfriend hit my man for no reason; surely you owe me an explanation."

"What do you want?" Li Chen asked, his expression calm.

"Kid, my boss is talking to the beauty; you have no place to speak here."

Blondie followed close by the bald man, full of confidence, and raised his hand to slap Li Chen, intending to get even for the earlier beating.

But the outcome was the same.

Before his palm even reached Li Chen, his wrist was gripped tightly, his body contorting in pain and bending over, unleashing a squeal like that of a butchered pig.

Only then did the bald man turn his head, a hint of surprise flickering in his eyes as he looked at Li Chen.

To be so brazen in front of all these guys.

A quick scan in his mind revealed no image of Li Chen; he said in a deep voice, "Kid, good, good! You've got guts; I like that!"

"I'll give you a choice: kneel and knock your head in apology to my brothers, leave your girlfriend behind, and you can walk away, otherwise..."

The threatening tone was thick in his speech.

His gaze fell on Yu Xin's face again, lust now poorly concealed in his eyes.

"Heh..."

Li Chen let out a disdainful laugh.

All of a sudden, he moved, kicking hard at the bald man's stomach. With the immense force, he sent the bald man flying.

Then, grabbing Yu Xin's hand, he said firmly, "Run!"

Facing twenty or thirty men, with Yu Xin by his side, Li Chen couldn't afford to be reckless.

Grasping Li Chen's hand, they ran onto the grass beside them, crossed the grassland, and reached the main road.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, and Yu Xin, still dazed, was pulled into a run by Li Chen.

"Boss!"

"Boss!"

The gang was flustered too.

"Damn it, chase them! Catch them and bring them back," the bald man bellowed, gasping for air.

His features twisted ferociously, he scrambled to his feet with help from those around him after being thrown to the ground.

The scene descended into chaos.

It was a chase.

The grass was an inconvenient running surface.

With Li Chen leading, Yu Xin still lagged, and soon, several thugs wielding sticks caught up to them.

Just as the sticks were about to strike, Li Chen's face changed, he aggressively pulled on Yu Xin's hand, drawing her into his arms while his other arm blocked the blows, and at the same time, he lashed out with his foot.

The sky had darkened, lit only by the dim streetlights.

Not far away, shadows of people walking and chatting could be made out.

Noticing the commotion, they all steered clear, not daring to come closer to spectate.

Li Chen was practically carrying Yu Xin, fending off blows while making their escape.

More and more people joined the pursuit.

Even with excellent fighting skills, and burdened by carrying Yu Xin while outnumbered, his arms and back suffered several hits from sticks, causing him to grimace in pain.

"Li Chen, you..."

Yu Xin's voice trembled, on the verge of tears.

"It's okay!"

Li Chen took a deep breath, knocked down another pursuer, and continued running forward, nearly out of the grassy area.

Beep beep beep!

Just then, police sirens wailed in the distance.

Li Chen's face lit up with joy—it must have been someone calling the cops. Reaching the main road, he saw a police car stopping not far away.

Glancing back, the thugs had already scattered like rats.

"What's the matter?"

Uncle with the Hat came up to ask.

Yu Xin, clearly terrified, quickly recounted the incident's cause and effect.

"Come back with us for a bit, make a statement. We'll have someone investigate," said the officer.

Li Chen was in no mood to go to the Public Security Association and give a statement.

Taking out his phone, he called Chen Yaohui and briefly explained the situation. He then handed the phone to Uncle with the Hat standing beside him.

After that, he left with Yu Xin.

"Li Chen, are you okay?"

Yu Xin looked at him anxiously, peering ahead and checking behind them. Unable to contain herself, tears glistened and spilled over. "I'm sorry. It's all my fault! I dragged you into this..."

Remembering Li Chen had taken a few blows, she added with concern, "How about we go to the hospital to check it out? Just in case you've hurt your bones..."

"It's already late; I'll just take you back to the hotel first!"

Arriving at the hotel, Yu Xin was still not over her fright.

She'd never encountered such a situation in her life.

Seeing Li Chen getting ready to leave, she abruptly grabbed his arm, "Li Chen, could you... could you just stay with me a little longer? I'm still a bit scared!"

Seeing her like this, Li Chen sat back down on the couch. His arm, held tightly by her, throbbed painfully, making even a slight move an effort.

Damn it.

This time he'd run into some real trouble!

Lucky for them, those goons had sticks, not knives, or else there would have been blood.

"Li Chen, did I hurt you?"

Yu Xin noticed and moved closer, inspecting him with concern.

Her figure was impressive: tall and graceful, with her ample bosom pressing against Li Chen's arm and a delicate fragrance wafting over. It hurt, yet weirdly enough, felt good. Li Chen reveled in the painful pleasure.

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't wanted to see the night view of Fen River, we wouldn't have run into those guys, and you wouldn't have gotten hurt."

"You... why are you being so silly..."

Seeing the pain on Li Chen's face, Yu Xin felt incredibly guilty. Remembering how he had taken all the injuries to protect her, her tears began to fall like rain.

He was so skilled. If he had been alone, he wouldn't have gotten hurt, right?

All these injuries, he took them on for her.

Women are emotional creatures.

Especially when that emotional side is sparked, the more she thought about it, the more heartbroken she felt, the more she blamed herself.

"How could I, a grown man, allow a woman to be bullied right in front of me?"

Li Chen's arm was sore from her gripping, and he grimaced, yet still managed a forced grin, "Besides, they mistook you for my girlfriend. If I had run off and left my girlfriend behind, would I still be a man?"

"Screw you!"

Li Chen's joke made Yu Xin burst into laughter through her tears.

She suddenly pushed him hard, toppling him onto the couch.

"Hiss!"

Li Chen winced in pain.

Trying to get up, his arm throbbed hotly, powerless.

"Ah! Sorry, I didn't mean it!"

Yu Xin quickly got up, about to pull on Li Chen's arm, then retracted her hand.

Then, biting her lip, her beautiful face flushed red as she walked over, wrapped her arms around Li Chen's waist, and helped him up.

A refreshing fragrance enveloped him.

Up close, looking at her tempting red lips and her slender, fair neck, Li Chen felt his mouth go dry and his tongue crave.

Inside him, a fire blazed fiercely.
