"I told you to get lost!"
Ning Beichen exuded an aura of authority that sent shivers down the spines of these young masters.
However, the type of people these young masters were, they lacked reverence for most things in the world. Even if they felt the person before them was trouble, sometimes, to save face, they would self-hypnotize, convincing themselves they were untouchable.
"Who do you think you are?"
"You're looking for death!" Da Feng Novel Network
"Kid, you're finished. Even Jesus can't save you today, that's what Young Master Long says!"
"Kneel and accept your fate!"
These young masters were enraged, surrounding Ning Beichen menacingly.
"Noisy!"
Ning Beichen flicked his arm, slapping these young masters across their faces with loud smacks.
Every single young master received a slap from Ning Beichen; no one was an exception.
The young masters' ears buzzed, their faces bore the red imprint of fingers, and their skin burned with pain.
How dare he!
He actually dared to lay a hand on them!
He slapped me!
These young masters were all stunned and frozen, none of them reacting.
"Stop!"
As soon as the security guards snapped out of it, they lunged at Ning Beichen, intending to apprehend him.
These young masters might seem insignificant, but they possessed an unassailable status: their backgrounds.
Although the matter had nothing to do with the security guards, these young masters were assaulted within the Imperial Garden. If anyone were to be held accountable, these security guards would also bear responsibility.
"Wait, it has nothing to do with him. Whatever blame you have, point it at me. My employer is not involved."
At this moment, Qi Dongcheng stepped forward to take the blame, which surprised Ning Beichen. Regardless of Qi Dongcheng's intentions, it certainly improved Ning Beichen's impression of him.
"What are you doing!"
However, before these guards could make a move, a man in a Tang suit with white hair and short hair emerged from inside and reprimanded them.
"Master Zhang, this person is causing trouble here and has hit several young masters. We were just about to apprehend him."
Upon seeing the man with white hair and short hair, the security guards said fearfully and in a hurry.
"How dare you! Mr. Ning is my esteemed guest."
The white-haired, short-haired man berated the guards.
"But Master Zhang, he doesn't have an invitation. We didn't know he was your..."
"Mr. Ning coming to see me is my good fortune, Zhang Jinhong's fortune. That's enough, you don't need to concern yourselves with this matter."
Zhang Jinhong looked at the six young masters and said, "You don't need to come anymore. You are not welcome here."
The six young masters were bewildered. They had been beaten, and Zhang Jinhong not only didn't help them but also chased them away. What on earth was going on?
However, they dared not offend Zhang Jinhong. Let alone them, even their fathers dared not offend Zhang Jinhong. Therefore, they could only vent their hatred on Ning Beichen, who had slapped them.
They might not dare to offend Zhang Jinhong, but that didn't mean they wouldn't dare to offend an unknown nobody.
It was just that with Zhang Jinhong present, they dared not act rashly and had to leave for now.
"I apologize, Mr. Ning. They were ignorant. Please don't take offense."
After handling the situation, Zhang Jinhong said to Ning Beichen very courteously.
"It's nothing. I just decided to come on short notice. I'm sorry for the trouble."
Ning Beichen replied.
"No trouble, no trouble at all. It is my honor, Zhang Jinhong's honor, that Mr. Ning could come. Please, Mr. Ning, come inside."
Zhang Jinhong said to Ning Beichen with great politeness.
Ning Beichen glanced at Qi Dongcheng, then said to Zhang Jinhong.
"This Qi Dongcheng has good character. Much better than those young masters earlier."
Zhang Jinhong heard Ning Beichen's words, also glanced at Qi Dongcheng, then nodded, allowing him to enter together.
Qi Dongcheng, on the other hand, felt somewhat dazed. Ning Beichen knew Zhang Jinhong, and Zhang Jinhong seemed to respect him immensely.
Who exactly was this Ning Beichen?
In Qi Dongcheng's eyes, a sense of respect and fear had unconsciously grown towards Ning Beichen.
"Mr. Ning, why did you suddenly come to Wangjiang? You should have notified me in advance so I could have come to pick you up."
Zhang Jinhong said to Ning Beichen.
"I came to Wangjiang to handle some personal matters, so I didn't want to disturb you."
Ning Beichen replied.
"Mr. Ning is my benefactor, Zhang Jinhong. In this territory of Wangjiang, if Mr. Ning needs anything done, just say the word."
Zhang Jinhong said expansively.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. I wanted to see Li Wanrong. I had originally arranged to meet her today, but she later said she had to attend your banquet and couldn't meet me, so I had to come find her."
Ning Beichen simply explained the reason for his visit to Wangjiang.
"I see. This is my fault. I specifically asked her to come and grace the occasion because I am hosting a very important guest tonight. I didn't expect it to disrupt Mr. Ning's plans. I will have someone fetch her immediately."
Zhang Jinhong quickly apologized to Ning Beichen.
"It's really not that important. I just have some personal matters to discuss with her."
Ning Beichen felt a little embarrassed.
"No matter how big or small, Mr. Ning's matters are the most important to me."
Zhang Jinhong shamelessly flattered Ning Beichen.
This made Qi Dongcheng, who overheard their conversation, feel like his heart was churning like a stormy sea.
If his previous thoughts were just speculation, then now they were definitively confirmed: this Ning Beichen's background was absolutely not simple.
Who was Zhang Jinhong? He was a titan in Wangjiang, not just a simple rich man.
How could someone he treated with such respect be an ordinary person?
Thinking of this, Qi Dongcheng felt immensely fortunate that he had not offended Ning Beichen earlier.
"By the way, Mr. Ning, would you also like to meet that important guest later?"
Zhang Jinhong said to Ning Beichen.
"How important is he?"
Ning Beichen seemed somewhat uninterested.
Zhang Jinhong whispered a few words into Ning Beichen's ear, which immediately piqued Ning Beichen's interest.
"Alright then."
Ning Beichen agreed.
According to Zhang Jinhong, this important guest was incredibly mysterious. As soon as he appeared in Wangjiang, he had forcefully subdued most of the influential figures in the city.
Zhang Jinhong was hosting this person tonight with the aim of ascertaining his background and intentions.
Therefore, Ning Beichen's arrival was like adding frosting to the cake for Zhang Jinhong.
So, when Zhang Jinhong brought up this matter, Ning Beichen's first thought was of a transcender.
If this mysterious guest was a transcender, then Ning Beichen would be very interested.
After entering the Imperial Garden.
Soon, Ning Beichen spotted Li Wanrong.
Li Wanrong truly lived up to her reputation as Wangjiang's biggest star. Her beauty and figure were top-notch, and she was in the prime of her youth, enough to make most men's hearts flutter.
Especially when she spoke, she had a demeanor that evoked a sense of pitiable vulnerability, making most men adore her.
