Chapter 92: Fury — Li Chen Beats Someone
Yu Manshan grabbed Li Chen’s hand from behind, anxiously saying, “Li Chen, you can’t go. Let Zhao Minghao take Nannan home instead. You’re the birthday boy today—if you leave, won’t that ruin everyone’s fun?”
Li Chen shook her hand off and shot Zhao Minghao a cold look, then picked up his jacket and headed straight for the door.
Zhao Minghao hurried after him, glancing back at Yu Manshan, who stood there looking utterly lost.
She had already given up so much for Li Chen. She was only a year younger than him—thirty years old and still unmarried, having waited for him all these years. Wasn’t that enough? She didn’t even mind that Li Chen had a daughter; she was willing to be the stepmother. Why was there no room for her in his heart?
Today, she had thrown away all dignity and resorted to such despicable tactics, yet in the end she still couldn’t keep him. Who knew which woman would benefit from it all in the end…

Meanwhile, Nan Xun had also put her call on speaker. She waved her phone at the two tall men in black blocking the way and said irritably, “Now you’re clear about my relationship with your young master, right? Even he has to call me ‘Auntie’ when he sees me—do you really dare block my way?”
The bodyguards immediately stepped aside. Nan Xun led her dorm mates in, charging forward with fierce momentum.
The interior of Twilight was extravagantly luxurious, but none of them had the mood to admire it.
“Which private room is Xiao He in?”
“When Xiao He started feeling dizzy and realized something was wrong, she texted me. She’s in a room called Waters and Sky as One.”
When Nan Xun reached the Waters and Sky as One room, she didn’t hesitate. She lifted her leg and kicked the door open.
The moment they saw the scene inside, the less worldly dorm mates screamed.
Nan Xun said nothing. She strode forward in two big steps and kicked the man who was assaulting someone straight off.
Fortunately, they had arrived in time—Xiao He hadn’t suffered real harm. But seeing the mess of bite marks on Xiao He’s neck and her dazed state, rage flared in Nan Xun’s chest. She immediately started punching and kicking the man.
The man tried to fight back, but to his shock, he couldn’t overpower this little girl at all. Before long, he was beaten until his face was swollen and bruised.
The dorm mates behind her were completely stunned by Nan Xun’s ferocity.

Li Chen strode ahead, Zhao Minghao jogging behind him, quickly stopping a manager to ask, “Did you see a pretty young girl go into any private room?”
Hearing the word “one,” the manager thought for a moment and pointed toward a room. “Earlier, a young woman in a white dress went into A Thousand Miles of Moonlight.”
The moment Li Chen heard “white dress,” his eyes darkened even further. He stormed toward A Thousand Miles of Moonlight like a raging tempest.
The door wasn’t even locked. When Li Chen kicked it open, the obscene scene inside made his eyes blaze with fury.
He didn’t see the woman’s face beneath the man, but the glimpse of a white dress was enough for him to lose all reason.
Li Chen’s face turned iron-blue in an instant. His mind exploded with a loud bang, then went completely blank. He rushed forward to the pair, who were so lost in desire they hadn’t even noticed his entrance. Reaching out, he grabbed the man by the throat, yanked him up, slammed him to the ground, and began punching him again and again with brutal force.
Blood splattered across the man’s face. He didn’t even have time to scream before he passed out.
Zhao Minghao was shocked and shouted, “Li Chen! Look carefully—that woman isn’t Li Xiaonan!”
Only then did Li Chen slowly turn to look at the woman whose face he had avoided. When he saw the unfamiliar face, twisted in terror, he froze.
His hands were still trembling, stained with blood.
“Not my baby…” he murmured, slowly standing up.
Li Chen turned his gaze to the manager who had led the way. His look was chilling. Cold sweat streamed down the manager’s forehead as he hurriedly explained, “During the time you mentioned, aside from this woman, there was also a group of young girls. One of them was wearing a white dress. They went straight to Waters and Sky as One, saying they were looking for someone.”
This time, as they reached the door of Waters and Sky as One, they heard Li Xiaonan’s lively, furious shouting from inside.
Zhao Minghao finally breathed a sigh of relief. He tried to pat Li Chen’s shoulder, but his hand hit nothing—Li Chen had already pushed the door open.
Zhao Minghao followed him in, and like Li Chen, froze the moment one foot crossed the threshold.
Zhao Minghao’s eyes went wide. Damn—was this ferocious, clawing, leopard-like girl savagely beating someone really the obedient little angel Li Xiaonan he remembered?
In the past, he had found it unbelievable. Li Xiaonan had been too good, too adorable—how could someone like Li Chen have such a sweet, well-behaved daughter? He had even once suspected she wasn’t actually from the Li family.
But now… wow. Watching the girl’s ruthless beating, he’d never believe she wasn’t a Li.
“Nannan, Nannan, stop! Someone’s here!” The stunned dorm mates finally snapped back to reality and hurriedly called out to Nan Xun, who was completely absorbed in beating the man.
Nan Xun went, “Huh?” She delivered one last punch to make sure the scumbag’s face was fully swollen like a pig’s, then stopped.
She suddenly looked up. Her sweat-soaked bangs flipped aside with the movement, revealing bright eyes filled with a ferocity never seen before, staring straight at the doorway.
When she recognized Li Chen’s face, she sprang up at once, quickly smoothed her dress, tidied her messy hair, clasped her hands behind her back, and drew little circles on the floor with her foot. Then she sweetly called out, “Daddy, how did you get here so fast?”
Since Li Chen had people secretly protecting her, they would definitely have reported her arrival at Twilight to him. She just hadn’t expected him to come so quickly.
On this point, Nan Xun was actually mistaken. Li Chen did have people watching her at all times, but he had been in a VIP room on the second floor earlier—and his phone had been tampered with, set to silent, so he hadn’t heard any messages.
Li Chen quietly stared at Nan Xun. His expression was strange, as if some emotion were fermenting in his eyes, his gaze gradually turning scorching.
Under the dim lights, Nan Xun couldn’t clearly see his expression. She felt a little panicked.
“Little Eight, I suddenly have a bad feeling. Do you think Li Chen seeing this fierce side of me might scare him and make his malice value rebound straight back to 100?”
A rebound in malice value wasn’t unheard of. Little Eight burst into tears on the spot. “Waaah, please don’t say that—I’m scared!”
“Baby, come here,” Li Chen suddenly spoke, his voice as gentle as ever.
