Long Junyu raised his foot and kicked viciously at Duan Jinghan, thinking this strike would definitely make Duan Jinghan suffer a great loss.
Unexpectedly, Duan Jinghan dodged nimbly to the side. At the same time, he reached out and grabbed Long Junyu's ankle, yanking it with a sudden burst of strength. Using this momentum, he quickly flipped up and took the opportunity to slam the defenseless Long Junyu heavily to the ground.
Immediately after, cursing "Son of a bitch," Duan Jinghan pinned down Long Junyu's upper body, raised his fist, and smashed it ruthlessly into that face twisted with terror.
However, just as Duan Jinghan's fist was about to fall for the second time, a nearby bodyguard swiftly delivered a flying kick to Duan Jinghan's waist.
Caught off guard, Duan Jinghan lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground, flat on his back once again.
At this moment, Long Yuan stepped forward unhurriedly.
He looked down condescendingly at Duan Jinghan, who was struggling to get up from the ground, his eyes as cold as frost.
Then, he slowly raised a foot and stepped mercilessly on Duan Jinghan's head, as if he wanted to crush it completely.
"Are your fists still tough?"
Seeing that the situation was going south and Brother Huan had not yet arrived, Qi An'an had no choice but to stand up and speak, "Young Master Long, I advise you to think twice. Don't offend my cousin-in-law and the Duan family at the same time just for your second uncle. You know very well that not only is my cousin-in-law not to be trifled with, but the eldest young lady of the Duan family is equally formidable."
Seeing Qi An'an stand up for him, the struggling Duan Jinghan cursed, "Shut up! We're not related, who asked you to meddle!"
Qi An'an: "..."
After finding a chance to scramble up, Long Junyu immediately pointed at Qi An'an and said, "Nephew, this wretched girl from the Qi family needs a beating too! She just said that our Long family wouldn't have a good end for offending that bitch Jiang Youli!"
Pinned under Long Yuan's foot and unable to move, Duan Jinghan gritted his teeth and cursed, "You dog relying on your master's power!"
Long Junyu finally seized the opportunity and kicked Duan Jinghan in the waist. "Let's see you talk tough now! I'm definitely going to cripple your hands tonight!"
Long Yuan turned his head to stare at Qi An'an, speaking in a cold and threatening tone, "Since you put it that way, my Long family has already offended the Jiang family and the Duan family, so I might as well offend your Qi family too."
With that, he waved his hand.
Following this gesture, the bodyguard immediately strode toward Qi An'an.
The people who had gathered with Qi An'an were now full of terror. None of them dared to make a sound, afraid that a single misstep would bring trouble upon themselves.
Watching the bodyguard gradually approach her, Qi An'an clenched her fists.
Right at that moment—
"What grand airs you put on, Young Master Long."
Everyone looked over.
The speaker was Duan Shuheng. She strolled in leisurely, like a blooming dark orchid, exuding a unique and charming aura that made people involuntarily captivated by her.
Although she was a woman, her every movement revealed a distinct majesty and confidence. The slightly upturned corners of her mouth carried a faint smile that seemed both present and absent, neither appearing overly intimate nor giving a sense of alienation.
Facing a grand lady like Duan Shuheng, the crowd's eyes held not a trace of profanity, only awe and admiration.
The reason the title of the greatest talented woman in the capital circle fell to Jiang Yonghe instead of Duan Shuheng wasn't that Duan Shuheng lacked Jiang Yonghe's talent or beauty. It was because Duan Shuheng's temperament was too lofty and unattainable; no one dared to treat her like a mere vase to be judged and discussed.
Long Yuan followed the voice and his eyes darkened. "What, is Eldest Miss Duan here to plead for your brother?"
Duan Shuheng drew closer and looked down at her foolish brother pinned under Long Yuan's foot. "Young Master Long must be joking. Do I need to plead with you to save my own brother? I'll just ask you one thing: are you letting him go or not?"
Long Junyu was displeased and asked with confusion, "Didn't your Duan family kick him out of the house to deliver takeout? Why do you still care about him now?"
Duan Shuheng replied, "How we manage my idiot brother is our Duan family's business. Just like Young Master Long, even knowing that his uncle is a useless troublemaker, he still has to wipe your ass for you."
Long Junyu flushed red at Duan Shuheng's words. What was wrong with the younger generation in Jing City these days? None of them took him seriously!
"Young Master Long, please move your foot."
Long Yuan stared fixedly at Duan Shuheng for a moment. After confirming she was serious, he slowly moved his foot away.
The Long family intended to take advantage of Qi Huan's disability to suppress the Qi family in one fell swoop. Even though the Duan family wasn't as powerful as his Long family, it was indeed inappropriate to offend the Duan family at this time, otherwise they would be caught in a pincer attack.
Duan Jinghan propped himself up from the ground and postured to punch Long Yuan. But just as he raised his fist, Duan Shuheng punched him in the stomach, nearly making him spew out everything in his stomach.
"You think you're so capable, huh," Duan Shuheng pulled a handkerchief from her pocket, rolled it into a ball, and stuffed it directly into Duan Jinghan's mouth just as he was about to speak. Then she ordered the bodyguards she had brought, "Take him away!"
"Mmph, mmph..."
Duan Jinghan was dragged away by the bodyguards just like that.
Seeing that his nephew didn't stop them, Long Junyu said indignantly, "Nephew, can you bear to watch me get bullied like this? Look at how swollen my face is!"
Long Yuan's brows remained tightly furrowed. "Second Uncle, if you don't want people to look down on you in the future, you have to stand on your own two feet. If you can't even win a fight, then you deserve to be beaten. I won't have so much time to clean up your messes in the future."
With that, he led his bodyguards out of the bar.
Long Junyu didn't say anything more, but merely roared at the onlookers around him, "What are you looking at! Get the hell out of here!"
The spectators scattered in a hubbub.
"Little girl from the Qi family, you just wait!" Long Junyu threatened Qi An'an before finally following behind Long Yuan to leave.
"An'an, we're leaving too." Qi An'an's three best friends had witnessed the thrilling scene just now and couldn't help but feel lingering fear. Having seen enough of the drama, they just wanted to leave immediately.
The people who had been making sarcastic remarks earlier looked at Qi An'an with schadenfreude and said:
"Qi An'an, let's see if you still dare to get too close to Jiang Youli. You almost got into big trouble just now."
"Yeah, we all warned you. Jiang Youli offended the Long family, and the trouble will be huge. Anyone close to her will definitely suffer. We advise you to stay away from her quickly!"
"That's right. Do you really think Jiang Youli can deal with the Long family? Otherwise, why don't you tell Jiang Youli about how you were almost beaten by Second Master Long tonight, and see if she dares to stand up for you."
Qi An'an had just breathed a sigh of relief, but upon hearing these words, her temper instantly flared. "Don't you look down on people like snobs. If you don't believe me, just wait and see. In the end, it will definitely be my cousin-in-law who brings down the Long family!"
"Heh, you just keep daydreaming."
"Qi An'an, we used to think you were quite clever, always staying neutral in the Qi family. But lately, you've completely lost your mind. Not only did you choose to side with the crippled Eldest Young Master Qi at this critical juncture, but now you also firmly support Jiang Youli. You really bet on two losing hands."
