Chapter 205 Yang Ao



As the batons came crashing down, the air was filled with a boiling bloodlust.

This group of burly men with tattoos displayed immense strength, their muscles bulging with power.

The weapons, including knives, guns, swords, and clubs, relentlessly struck. If any of them landed a hit, Wang Chao would be severely injured, if not dead.

Lan Ruyu watched in horror as the menacing thugs charged towards them. She screamed, even instinctively closing her eyes.

In her eyes, this group of people working together would surely bring Wang Chao down, possibly even beating him to death.

After her scream, she subconsciously shut her eyes, unable to bear witnessing what would happen next.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

While Lan Ruyu had her eyes closed, she could only hear muffled sounds, as if something was hitting people.

Soon after, there was a loud crash as heavy objects fell to the ground.

And then, a series of agonized screams filled the air.

Lan Ruyu kept her eyes shut and covered her ears, imagining Wang Chao being brutally beaten.

However, after a moment, she sensed that something was amiss. "Wait, something doesn't seem right. Why do these sounds feel so familiar?"

She opened her eyes and her expression immediately changed. Her mouth hung open, unable to speak for a while.

In her line of sight, Wang Chao stood tall like a spear, unyielding.

The tattooed men who had attacked him were now all lying on the ground, writhing in pain.

"Oh my God!"

Lan Ruyu gaped at Wang Chao in disbelief. "Did you defeat all of them?"

"They were just a bunch of small fries. Beating them was a piece of cake," Wang Chao said calmly as he helped Lan Ruyu up. His expression was serious as he spoke in a deep voice, "Miss Lan, now can we talk?"

Lan Ruyu furrowed her brows slightly and turned her head to look.

And when she looked, she was dumbfounded.

After Wang Chao's disturbance, the entire nightclub fell silent. Almost everyone turned their gaze towards them.

Thump, thump, thump...

The club's security guards, wielding iron batons, were rushing menacingly towards them.

Lan Ruyu's expression changed, and she immediately pushed Wang Chao away, shouting angrily, "Talk? I don't even know you! Just get lost!"

With her push, her scars on the arm became visible again.

Despite wearing thin stockings and applying some powder to her arms, Wang Chao's sharp gaze quickly noticed the multitude of scars on Lan Ruyu's arms.

They were cigarette burns!

"Who did this?" Wang Chao grabbed Lan Ruyu's arm, his gaze icy.

He could tell that Lan Ruyu must have had a difficult time all these years, experiencing pain and torment. It was completely different from what Song He Nian had described.

"It's none of your business, now go away!" Lan Ruyu snapped.

"By telling me to leave so vehemently, you must be concerned for my safety, right?"

Wang Chao stared into Lan Ruyu's eyes and spoke deliberately, "In reality, you are not that promiscuous woman, nor are you the type to bow down or sell your body."

"I can see it, deep within your eyes, there's an indelible sadness!"

"If I'm not mistaken, you surely have your own untold difficulties."

"My affairs are none of your concern!" Lan Ruyu retorted angrily.

Wang Chao's expression turned serious as he coldly said, "You are my brother's girlfriend, and more importantly, the woman he has chosen for life. If you're facing difficulties, how could I stand idly by?"

"Miss Lan, I know you don't want to tell me, probably because you have someone you're afraid of."

"Pei Donghu couldn't change your circumstances in the past, but things are different now that I'm back. With me here, no one can destroy your relationship!"

"For example, like this!"

As he spoke, he stomped forcefully on the floor.

Boom!

A tremendous force erupted, causing the ground to crack inch by inch and the floor to shatter into fragments. The security guards who rushed forward were sent flying, their heads bloodied and bodies sprawled on the ground, unable to get close.

In a matter of moments, over thirty security guards were lying on the ground, wailing in pain, unable to stand up.

"Ah..." Lan Ruyu was dumbfounded.

Everyone at the scene witnessed this spectacle, their eyes filled with horror.

To possess such terrifying destructive power with a single stomp, this had to be a legendary martial arts master, right?

Silence!

The scene fell into a deathly silence.

All the customers, security guards, and onlookers stared in astonishment, their eyes filled with fear and shock at Wang Chao.

"Who... who are you?" Lan Ruyu trembled.

"I am Wang Chao, Pei Donghu's brother. I've come this time to take you away. Trust me, if you come with me, Pei Donghu will bring you happiness!" Wang Chao said earnestly.

Lan Ruyu, upon hearing this, suddenly shouted hysterically, "Take me away? Do you know where we are? This is Yang Ao's territory, and Cui Hong's territory. If I leave here, I'll be dead."

"Don't mention Pei Donghu's name in front of me. Get out, right now, and never let me see you again!"

"You bastard, get lost, get far away from me, forever!"

As she spoke, she went mad, relentlessly hammering and kicking Wang Chao, desperately trying to drive him away.

Clap, clap, clap!

Just then, the heavy metal music abruptly stopped.

Loud applause rang out from the second floor.

"Hahaha, well said, my little Lan Lan. I didn't expect you to be so clear about your own fate," a voice exclaimed.

"You're driving away this brother of Pei Donghu's and saying so many malicious words to him. Your main concern is to prevent him from dying alongside you, right?"

Along with the voice, a cold male voice sounded, and immediately, a well-dressed young man appeared on the second floor.

He held a cigarette, his gaze as cold as a venomous snake, looking down from above as he stared icily at Wang Chao. "You say you're Pei Donghu's brother, right?"

"Knowing well that this is my territory, you still dare to come here and try to take my little Lan Lan away. Brother, are you out of your mind?"

"Yang Ao!"

Upon seeing this man, Lan Ruyu trembled all over, her eyes filled with fear and apprehension. She collapsed on the ground, trembling with fear.

Clearly, this man had left a deep psychological scar on her, making her terrified at the mere sight of him.

Wang Chao frowned and looked up at Yang Ao. "You are Cui Hong's nephew? The mastermind who tormented Pei Donghu and Song Henian so miserably?"

Yang Ao took a drag from his cigar, his eyes filled with arrogance. "That's right, it's me. I beat up your two brothers."

"Do not worry, next, you'll be the same!"

After speaking, he snapped his fingers.

Thud!

A burly figure, towering at two meters tall, walked out and stood in the middle of the dance floor.

His eyes were cold and filled with murderous intent.

Every muscle in his body seemed to contain explosive power, capable of crushing even steel.

Yang Ao clapped his hands and shouted, "Clear the place, everyone head to the counter to settle the bill and leave."

As he spoke, all the customers at the scene left like a tidal wave. Subsequently, all the doors and windows were closed. Many thugs wielding metal baseball bats emerged from various corners of the nightclub, forming a large circle, enclosing Wang Chao and Lan Ruyu.

In an instant, the atmodimension became tense.

Yang Ao stared at Wang Chao and coldly said, "You thought you could help Pei Donghu find women? I see you are seeking death!"

"Today, do not even think about leaving here alive."

Wang Chao chuckled coldly and also stared back at Yang Ao. "Funny, I did not plan on letting you leave here alive either!"
