<h4>Chapter 1169: Chapter 1176: Impostor Assassin</h4>


    Ling Chen smiled faintly and said, "Friend, I don’t know what I am, but I know for sure you are nothing."


    Hearing Ling Chen’s unabashed insult, the young man’s face immediately changed, and he sprang up from his seat, pointing at Ling Chen’s nose, coldly shouting, "You wretched thing, you have a lot of nerve to curse even me. Do you even know who I am?"


    Ling Chen spread his hands, helplessly saying, "Friend, I don’t have the energy to care who you are. Whether you’re a cat, dog, or some other beast, it has nothing to do with me. You’ve taken my seat, I’m just asking you to leave."


    "Good kid, you really have guts." the middle-aged man beside interjected, "Standing before you is Yang He from Beijing, Mr. Yang. Do you know what their family does? Whoever offends the Yang Family won’t have anything good. Young man, in consideration of your ignorance, I advise you to apologize to Mr. Yang, or you’ll pay the price."


    Ling Chen said with a half-smile, "This friend, you also mentioned Mr. Yang is from Beijing. But I must remind you, this is East Sea City, not a ce where you can run amok. I kindly advise you to be more low-key when out and about. There are always bigger fish, be careful not to end up unable to return to Beijing."


    "Hey! Brother, you have quite a tone." said the young man beside Yang He, "I, Zheng Guangchun, have never seen someone as fearless as you. Brother, having guts is good, but you need to choose your time and ce. In Beijing, no one dares to be cocky in front of us."


    "You’re right. In East Sea City, no one has ever dared to be cocky in front of me." Ling Chen pointed at his seat and said, "Don’t me me for not giving you a chance, quickly scram, and I won’t hold the previous matter against you."


    "Fine, fine!" Yang He, extremely angry,ughed, gritting his teeth at Ling Chen and said, "I just arrived in East Sea City today, originally wanting to have some fun, but since someone is so eager for death, it will have to wait. Li Gang, call the board, in ten minutes, I want this person gone from my sight."


    "No problem, Mr. Yang!" said the middle-aged man named Li Gang, immediately pulling out his phone and dialing a number.


    Seeing their actions, Ling Chen paid no attention, walked over to the dining table, and sat down. "Have the dishes been ordered?"


    "Not yet, we were waiting for you to order." Liu Xiyao said with a smile, not worried about what had just happened. Although these people came from Beijing and have backgrounds, bullying Ling Chen in East Sea City, Liu Xiyao could only mourn for them.


    Ling Chen epted the menu handed by Zhu Xiaozhu, snapped his fingers, called a waiter, and nonchntly ordered a few Chinese dishes.


    "Waiter, please serve the food quickly, I’m hungry."


    Yang He sneered from the side, "Eat as much as you can while you still can, after today, I’m afraid you won’t get the chance to eat."


    Ling Chen ignored Yang He’s threat, holding his phone with one hand, chatting casually with the women around him.


    Less than ten minutester, a group of people appeared at the restaurant’s entrance. From their attire, they appeared to be street thugs, each carrying something wrapped in newspaper. Li Gang and the two others leaned against the open-air restaurant’s railing, pointed towards Ling Chen, and those thugs instantly understood, quickly pulling machetes from the newspaper and rushed towards Ling Chen.


    "Hey! Could those be your men?" Liu Xiyao asked.


    Ling Chen said nothing, his eyes fixed on his phone. Soon, more than a dozen thugs rushed to Ling Chen, swinging machetes directly towards his head. At this critical moment, the motionless Ling Chen finally reacted. His body slightly sidestepped, dodging the attack. Then, Ling Chen lightly tapped his feet, his body instantly leaving the chair and springing into the air,nding behind the group of thugs.


    Observing the thugs, Ling Chen’s eyes scanned around, as if searching for someone.


    "What are you standing around for?" Yang He demanded angrily, "Quickly act, kill this bastard."


    Ling Chen nced at Yang He by the railing, suddenly elerating his feet, like a swift wind, instantly getting close to Yang He, punching straight at his face. As the punch was about to hit, suddenly, a glint of cold light shed by.


    Having anticipated, Ling Chen quickly turned, dodging the cold light’s attack. Upon focusing, he noticed Li Gang holding a sharp dagger.


    "Good skills." Ling Chen said calmly, "If you want to kill me,e at me directly, why go through so much trouble?"


    Li Gangughed coldly, "When did you find out?"


    "Remember to be prepared to avoid revealing ws when disguising your identity." Earlier, while fiddling with his phone, Ling Chen sent a message to Hu Fei, asking him to help check Yang He’s and the others’ identities. Knowing their backgrounds will help him decide how to handle them. However, unexpectedly, although Yang He’s group’s identity information appeared fine, the archived records showed that Yang He, Zheng Guangchun, and Li Gang’s appearancespletely differed from before. Furthermore, these three were still in Beijing, and hadn’te to East Sea City. This indicates that the identities of these three are fake. Based on this, Ling Chen perceives they likely came for him.


    As expected, after a little probing, their fake identities were promptly exposed.


    "Who’s instructing you?" Ling Chen asked.


    "That’s not something you need to know." Yang He, changing his previous hedonistic demeanor, said with a grim face.


    Could it be people from Skyhawk Pavilion? Ling Chen thought inwardly. Due to Tong Zhentian’s warning, Ling Chen couldn’t help but suspect that.


    "Ling Chen, we came only to deliver a message to you this time." Hearing Yang He’s words, Ling Chen asked, "What message?"


    "One day, everything you’ve subjected him to, he will return doubly." After speaking, Yang He extended his five fingers, and with a flick towards the ground, there was a ’bang’, and a cloud of smoke exploded. Ling Chen waved his arms, waiting for the smoke to clear, surprisingly discovering that Yang He and the three others had vanished.


    Amazing!


    Ling Chen was somewhat amazed; even with his abilities, he hadn’t detected their departure. From their actions, it’s clear they aren’t from Skyhawk Pavilion. If they truly were Skyhawk Pavilion’s people, there wouldn’t have been so much talk.


    However, Ling Chen is puzzled about who prompted Yang He to ry a message. It seems investigation is necessary; the enemy hiding in the dark, while he is in the open, is not a favorable situation.
