Chapter 120: Knock Me Out

Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Knock Me Out

In life, there are always too many ups and downs, but when the beauty has just arrived, it is immediately ruthlessly deprived, returning to its original state, or even worse than before. This is not something an ordinary person can bear, especially when this time it's not just failure, but betrayal of one's own soul, even death!

Rose felt the air around her grow much colder. It shouldn't have been cold this season, but she truly felt the chill to her bones.

For the first time, Rose had some admiration for the father she had always refused to acknowledge... This guy was really extraordinary.

Situ Mingze was in no hurry, looking at her with a smirk, patiently waiting for her answer. The bosses of the Western Alliance Society and their guards, of course, were even less in a hurry. They grinned wickedly, gradually closing in, encircling Rose and the others within a small space of about thirty to forty square meters.

As soon as Situ Mingze gave the order, everyone would raise their guns and turn the four of them into Swiss cheese.

Rose looked at the man beside her. At this moment, only this man still maintained a casual smile, as if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him. He was just an inconspicuous bystander in a movie.

"It seems like I've failed," Rose smiled bitterly. She knew Yang Chen was very capable, but the situation in front of her was no longer one that one person could turn the tide of. Even if Yang Chen had three heads and six arms, he couldn't possibly protect the three of them from the siege of thirty or forty guns, right?

Yang Chen reassuringly held Rose's cold hand, conveying a hint of warmth to the woman. "You may have failed, but after all, your opponent is older than you. By the time you reach his age, you'll definitely have a brighter future than him."

"Can I live to that age?" Rose murmured to herself.

"Of course," Yang Chen laughed heartily. "I absolutely won't allow you to leave me."

Rose's dewy eyes gazed at Yang Chen for a moment, as if making a firm decision. She turned to face Situ Mingze. "I can't die today."

"So, are you saying you should listen to me now?" Situ Mingze lifted a victorious smile, his eyes flashing with an increasing cruelty. As long as Rose became his puppet, there would be many things he could do... His ambition would swell dramatically!

Rose took a deep breath. This decision could save her life, but it might also bury her future. But if she didn't choose this, the chance of saving Yang Chen and the other two would be completely lost!

She couldn't allow herself to leave him. She couldn't let him die because of her negligence!

Steeling herself, Rose was about to nod...

"Wait!" Yang Chen raised both hands, suddenly shouting loudly, as if he had seen some supernatural event, inexplicably reaching out to pinch Rose's tender cheek, perplexed as he asked, "My dear Rose, what do you want to say? Why give up and listen to him for no reason?"

"I..." Rose's eyes reddened, smiling bitterly. "I'm sorry, I can't watch you guys die in front of me. Perhaps surrendering is the best option."

Yang Chen was speechless. It turned out that this silly woman thought she was already powerless and wanted to sacrifice herself to save the three of them. It was both moving and laughable...

Although, according to reason, this was indeed a dead end, but, there are always exceptions, right...

"What a cute fool you are. When I said don't leave me, it didn't mean we were going to die together, let alone surrender to him," Yang Chen chuckled, stroking Rose's cheek. Rose blinked in confusion. "What do you mean then? If I don't surrender, he won't spare any of us."

Yang Chen cleared his throat and said, "You lost, but I haven't."

Rose was momentarily stunned, then a hint of something strange flashed in her eyes. After more than half a year of being together, as their feelings deepened, she gradually began to understand some of this man's thoughts. She could sense the truth in Yang Chen's words. Could he really have a way out of this? The thought was terrifying, even to Rose herself!

Meanwhile, Zhang Hu, who had been pinned down, heard Yang Chen's words. He reluctantly raised his eyes and saw the man who had truly led him down this path. Seeing his indifferent expression, Zhang Hu's despondent face gradually changed. Two imperceptible flames of excitement ignited in his eyes...

Situ Mingze was getting impatient. He felt like Yang Chen in front of him was just a clown talking nonsense. He sneered, "Young man, your name is Yang Chen, right? It seems your skills are not bad if you can make my daughter surrender to you so wholeheartedly. But it seems like your brain really isn't working well. Do you not understand what it feels like to be shot?"

Yang Chen calmly patted Rose's palm and whispered, "Don't worry, don't move." Then he turned to Situ Mingze with a smile. "My skills are indeed quite good. Unfortunately, you're a man, and an old man at that, so you won't get to see them."

"You're quite daring, but arguing like this won't change anything under these circumstances. If you want to stay alive, don't influence my daughter's decision anymore," Situ Mingze said, immediately feeling the urge to shoot Yang Chen. But considering how much Rose cared about him and thinking about controlling Rose in the future, he decided it might be better to keep this young man as a hostage.

Yang Chen ignored Situ Mingze's words and casually glanced around, counting the number of people. Muttering to himself, he said, "Forty-one, a bit too many. Looks like I'll have to use some unconventional methods."

With that, Yang Chen slowly crouched down, sitting on the floor, and then reached down to take off his rarely worn shiny new black shoes. He also took off his pair of white socks and stuffed them into the shoes. Then, in full view of everyone, he rolled up his trouser legs, stopping just above his calves.

When Yang Chen stood up again barefoot, everyone in the room thought he had gone crazy. Was this guy's brain full of rocks? At such a life-and-death moment, why was he taking off his shoes, socks, and rolling up his pants? Was he planning to go farming or something?

In fact, Yang Chen hadn't finished yet. After smiling apologetically at the people around him, he took off his suit again and then his shirt, leaving only a white undershirt on the inside.

He stuffed all the discarded clothes, shoes, and socks into the arms of the stunned Xiao Zhao and said, "Help me take care of these, don't drop them, I'll need to wear them later."

Rose, Xiao Zhao, and Chen Rong looked at him puzzled, not understanding.

Situmor Mingze finally realized that he couldn't figure out what this young man was up to. This lack of control made him uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but ask coldly, "What are you doing?"

Chen Rong couldn't bear it either. Upon smelling the pervasive scent of blood, the young girl passed out.

Even Rose, who had been enduring from the start, eventually closed her eyes, unable to bear seeing anymore.

When the last five members of the Western Alliance Society faced Yang Chen with trembling hearts, one of them finally thought of a way to save himself. With trembling arms, he raised his gun, attempting to aim at Rose and the other two.

But he underestimated Yang Chen's speed at this moment. Before he could lift his hand, Yang Chen's hand chop had already fallen on his elbow!

"Crack!"

The sound of bones breaking was unexpectedly crisp. When the man realized the pain, his arm, along with the gun, had already dropped to the ground!

The five individuals, unable to wait for Yang Chen to strike again, were directly scared unconscious by the terrifying scene before them...

Time froze, the scene fixed at this moment.

In the vast hall, the lights still bright, but the pristine floor had turned into a battlefield. Scattered limbs, flowing crimson blood, faces of defiance... And at the center of it all stood a lone figure.

Zhang Hu, who had been lying on the ground, was the only audience member brave enough to witness everything. He didn't dare to get up, as his legs had turned as weak as boneless...

With closed eyes, Rose finally heard the silence around her and cautiously opened her eyes. In their gleam, she saw the man still standing, and at the same time, she saw men lying all around!

He won?

He won!

With forty guns pointed at him and in a space of several dozen square meters, this man had defeated all his enemies in just a few breaths!

Rose no longer cared about the gruesome scene before her, for she only had one thought now: to rush over and give Yang Chen a passionate embrace!

Dragging her long skirt on the floor, Rose disregarded the blood all around as she ran to Yang Chen's back, forcefully wrapping her arms around his waist, crying tears of joy.

"Husband, you did it..." Surviving the ordeal, Rose couldn't care less about her status as a big sister of the underworld, only wanting to hold the man in her arms and cry tears of happiness.

But Yang Chen didn't turn around. He remained in place, but his body began to tremble...

Rose noticed Yang Chen's abnormality and nervously walked to stand in front of him. When she saw Yang Chen's complexion at this moment, her face drained of color! Though the crimson hue had faded from Yang Chen's eyes, returning to their normal color, his gaze appeared vacant and lifeless. His face was pallid, with occasional flashes of sickly red and white, cold sweat dripping continuously from his forehead, and his lips had lost all color, resembling white paper.

Yang Chen's entire body was drenched in sweat, trembling increasingly.

"Husband... What's wrong with you?" Rose was more afraid now than when she had been staring down the barrels of guns. She couldn't imagine what her life would be like without Yang Chen. But now wasn't the time to ponder these questions; she couldn't bear to see Yang Chen like this!

"Husband, speak, please speak! What's wrong with you? How can I help you?" Rose cried out, shaking Yang Chen's arms continuously.

Xiao Zhao and Zhang Hu also came to their senses. Though the scene before them made their legs weak, their greater concern was Yang Chen's condition!

Under Rose's constant shaking, Yang Chen finally regained some semblance of consciousness. His forehead bulged with veins, as if enduring unimaginable pain. His voice hoarse and intermittent, he managed to say, "Hit... hit... knocked out... me..."

Rose hesitated upon hearing this response.

"Hurry..." Yang Chen roared in agony, his eyes rolling back, his body almost convulsing.

Unable to bear seeing Yang Chen like this any longer, Rose gritted her teeth and mustered all her strength, landing a palm strike on the back of Yang Chen's head!

But Yang Chen's body strength far exceeded Rose's imagination. Even though Yang Chen deliberately didn't put up any defense, actively asking to be hit, Rose's forceful blow still couldn't stimulate Yang Chen's nerves enough to render him unconscious!

Rose gritted her teeth. Turning to Zhang Hu, who had rushed over, she shouted, "Zhang Hu, use all your strength to knock Yang Chen out, quickly!"

Pale with fright, Zhang Hu knew the situation was tense, and despite his fear, he mustered all his courage, delivering a powerful blow to the back of Yang Chen's neck!

Yang Chen's body was heavily struck, falling into Rose's embrace. With a muffled groan, he finally lost consciousness!

"What... what happened to Yang... Yang ge?" Xiao Zhao stammered nervously.

Seeing that although Yang Chen was unconscious, his facial muscles were still tense, indicating he was still in unbearable pain, Rose didn't dare to waste any more time. She quickly instructed Xiao Zhao and Zhang Hu who had troubled faces, "You two handle the aftermath here. I'm taking Yang Chen to get medical help immediately. If you have any urgent matters, don't bother me for now!"

With that, ignoring the pained expressions of Zhang Hu and Xiao Zhao, Rose lifted Yang Chen and ran out of the hall.
