"Hmph!" Bald Jiang snorted coldly, turning his head as his subordinate whispered in his ear, "Boss, Huzi Boss's car was punctured by our own spike strip, and he's heading this way..."

Watching Bald Jiang's face grow increasingly sullen, Luo Chao felt both pleased and on alert; it seemed leaving today might be troublesome.

Leaning back slightly, he whispered in Chen Xiaoqi's ear, "Find an excuse to get back to the car later. When you see me move, start the car and go. Drive as fast as you can, but be safe."

Chen Xiaoqi was taken aback by his words, but seeing more and more of Bald Jiang's men gathering, she understood. She nodded slightly and raised her brows at Luo Chao.

Luo Chao hadn't grasped what she meant before she kicked him in the shin, causing him to clutch his painful leg and look at her, puzzled.

Seeing that he didn't understand, Chen Xiaoqi kicked Luo Chao again.

Luo Chao seemed to catch on a little and cursed while holding his leg, "Chen Xiaoqi! You crazy woman, why are you kicking me?"

Chen Xiaoqi seized the moment to lash out, "Luo Chao, you ungrateful jerk! I lent you my car, and you can't even protect it properly! Didn't you notice you scraped the paint? I'm telling you, if there's any damage, I'll feed you to the wolves today!"

She rolled her eyes at Luo Chao and walked towards the car step by step, feeling anxious inside. Please, let there be no complications!

"Wait a minute!" Bald Jiang, not being a fool, sensed something was off, that it couldn't be that simple.

The shout startled Chen Xiaoqi, freezing her in place, her nerves on edge.

Luo Chao saw things going south and inwardly cursed Chen Xiaoqi's lousy excuse. He had no choice but to point at her angrily, trying to salvage the situation, "Damn it! You think I'm scared? Check it then! Damn!" With his other hand, he stopped Jiang Yuanyuan from getting angry and pulled her in front of him, naturally placing his arm around her waist to divert Bald Jiang's attention with a playful tone, "Don't mind that woman! Is our bet still on? I heard everything you said to her. Odds of ten to one, correct? Hmm?"

As he spoke, he glanced with the corner of his eye to see Chen Xiaoqi already in the car. Feeling confident of success, he tightened his grip around Jiang Yuanyuan's waist, making her increasingly uncomfortable and trying to break free from his hold, yet unable to. She punched Luo Chao in the chest, "You pervert! What are you doing? Let..." Before she could finish the word, Luo Chao threw her behind him.

All they heard was Luo Chao shouting, "Go!" followed by the screeching sound of the car speeding away and several gunshots.

His gaze fixed on the cold barrel of the gun pressed to his forehead, Luo Chao sneered, "So it seems the bet is off?"

Bald Jiang smirked insidiously, which seemed utterly disgusting to Jiang Yuanyuan and Luo Chao.

He confidently declared, "Of course the bet's valid, it's just that you can't take the prize away now!"

"Oh, really? Since you say it's still on, I'll take what I came for—don't regret it!" Luo Chao's sharp eyes stared tightly at Bald Jiang, who was taken aback by his gaze.

The Overbearing Aura made him tense, but he quickly recovered, scoffing! Just putting on a front, right? With this many men, could he really not handle one young punk?

"You... you call me Grandpa Jiang, and maybe if I'm in a good mood, I'll spare you!" Even as he spoke harshly, Bald Jiang felt somewhat uncertain seeing Luo Chao's fearless face.

"Why the hell are you talking so much! Come at me all at once!" Luo Chao was getting impatient; were all these men really afraid of just him?

"Brothers! Go teach this kid a lesson!" Bald Jiang was provoked. Having been around for so long, to be challenged by this brat, he waved his hand, and the underlings swarmed in.

Seeing the thugs about to gang up on Luo Chao, Chen Xiaoqi in the car worried he'd suffer loss and shouted, "Luo Chao, get in the car!"

Intent on teaching these thugs a lesson, Luo Chao waved at Chen Xiaoqi but didn't hurry to leave.

He took a stance, making a provocative gesture, and the crowd of thugs encircled him, all focusing on his movement, none daring to make the first move.

"What the hell are you all waiting for? Get him!" Bald Jiang got anxious seeing their standoff.

Two underlings charged with swinging fists, while others behind Luo Chao attempted to restrain him.

They didn't expect Luo Chao's body to be as slippery as an eel. The one who tried to grab him fell to the ground, and the two swinging fists received a kick each on their behinds, stumbling and falling messily.

"Damn, this kid's got some moves," muttered the one on the ground, rubbing his rear while watching Luo Chao.

Suddenly, taking advantage of Luo Chao dealing with others, one of the downed guys scrambled up and charged to Luo Chao's back.

Giving Luo Chao a big bear hug, he locked his arms, thinking he finally had scored a win.

"Get him quick!" he shouted desperately from behind Luo Chao.

Luo Chao remained unflustered. With a solid stance, he steadied himself, and when the three attackers' fists came near, he kicked out three quick kicks, sending all three flying.

"Damn! This punk's kicks are way more powerful than fists. Jiang, what do we do?" Another underling on the ground rubbed his swollen arm.

Bald Jiang, embarrassed and angry, flushed. He bent over, pulling a knife from his boot.

Throwing away the sheath, the blade flashed in the sunlight. Luo Chao squinted as Bald Jiang charged forward.

Jiang Yuanyuan and Luo Chao grew anxious at the sight—these guys had no decency, losing and then pulling a knife.

Blood spattered; did he actually kill someone? Did their boss just kill someone?

These people, though thugs, usually just intimidated others; it was the first time they witnessed such bloodshed.

In a panic, not knowing who shouted first, the crowd suddenly scattered in fear.

Within just a few breaths, the scene became desolate, leaving only a few stunned close associates standing there.

They didn't know what to make of the situation anymore; their invincible boss was defeated by a young man and it was in an ambush attempt with a knife!

The knife was now stuck backward in Bald Jiang's arm, blood flowing continuously. Bald Jiang grimaced in pain.

"Still tough, huh? Do you think we can take what we came for?" Luo Chao's hand lightly patted the blade. He didn't dislike hard-headed ones.

"Ah..."

Watching Bald Jiang scream, Luo Chao's brow furrowed slightly; if not for the presence of women here, he'd probably ensure Bald Jiang left more than just the knife behind today.

"Sir! I'm sorry. Please, have mercy; I'll give you the money."
