Chapter 178: Chapter 178: Really Don’t Dare to Hit You (2nd Update)
"Gah!"
Chen Bainan couldn’t help but take a step back, feeling a chill run down his spine.
If he hadn’t consulted the big guy and done some research afterward, he wouldn’t have known that this seemingly ordinary young man not only possessed extraordinary medical skills but was also incredibly formidable in combat.
Even though he had four people on his side now, he truly didn’t have the courage to confront Lin Xi.
At this moment, his three sidekicks heard the words coming from behind and turned their heads in confusion.
Hey, this person looks familiar?
Upon thinking about it, isn’t this the kid who played golf last time?
Last time he gambled with Brother Nan, then mercilessly embarrassed him, and now he’s so close to Bai Bing? And he’s showing up here again?
Could it be that Bai Bing’s boyfriend she just mentioned is him?
No wonder Brother Nan’s face suddenly turned so unpleasant?
Thinking of this, the three had a mutual understanding—they thought, does this kid even see how many people are on our side? Is he aiming for the sky?
So one of them shouted, "Kid, were you the one who said that just now?"
"So cocky, do your parents know?" another added.
The last one said nothing, but started to move around to block Lin Xi’s escape route.
"Oh? My parents don’t know, but I’d like to see what you plan to do?" Lin Xi looked at them calmly, as if watching a group of clowns perform circus tricks.
Chen Bainan also snapped out of his shock; seeing his three sidekicks’ behavior, he felt like strangling them for causing more trouble!
Couldn’t even consider if this guy is someone they could mess with.
But the blame couldn’t entirely lie on his sidekicks, as he never told them about Lin Xi.
So, as soon as Lin Xi finished speaking, Chen Bainan rushed forward, smacking both sidekicks on the back of their heads with two slaps, and scolded,
"What kind of talk is that? Can’t you talk properly? He’s an old friend of mine."
He then turned to Lin Xi, his expression becoming cautious, "How could I possibly have meant you with those words just now? That’s absolutely not the case."
"You guys chat, I’ve got something urgent to handle."
Saying this, Chen Bainan quickly moved aside, planning to leave.
His three sidekicks were dumbstruck, completely unable to understand what was going on with Brother Nan this time.
And Lin Xi and Bai Bing were also stunned, initially thinking they’d have to teach him a lesson to make him compliant, but didn’t expect him to pull such a dramatic act.
Besides, who’s really his old friend?
"Stop!" Lin Xi called out to Chen Bainan, who was already seven or eight steps away.
Chen Bainan halted instantly, like he had slammed on the brakes, and asked, bewildered, "Is there anything else? If there’s nothing urgent, I really need to go; the company matters are pressing!"
"You three, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and come over!"
His three sidekicks were genuinely bewildered but had no choice but to quickly move to Chen Bainan’s side.
Lin Xi then replied, "Actually, you said something right earlier; now, I really don’t dare to hit you!"
"..." Chen Bainan initially wanted to retort, but seeing Lin Xi’s expression, he thought it best to stay silent—better to stay still, he consoled himself.
"I suggest abstaining for half a month and then using tonics to recover well, or with your current depleted health, engaging in such activities could lead to an untimely demise!" Lin Xi said earnestly, unbothered by Chen Bainan’s increasingly dark face,
"And make sure what you find is clean. Be mindful of street stalls. To be safe, I’d recommend visiting a hospital; who knows, you might already have contracted some filthy disease."
"This is for your own good. What’s with that look?" Lin Xi’s face turned cold, questioning him.
"No, no, no, nothing," Chen Bainan internally cursed Lin Xi for saying such blatant things in front of Bai Bing—it was more excruciating than a beating.
"If there’s nothing, why don’t you thank me?" Lin Xi retorted, and Chen Bainan was practically infuriated, even Bai Bing felt slightly compassionate—this was almost bullying.
