Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Chen Shaohui looked at Xiao Zhan as if he were a lunatic. Jumping out at this time was simply looking for death.
"Idiot!"
The young woman glared at Xiao Zhan with great disdain.
"You..."
Su Muqiu's heart thudded. This was bad. She instinctively wanted to stop Xiao Zhan, but was held back by Sun Ziyi. Sun Ziyi pulled her aside and scoffed, "He must not know Qian Yiming's identity. This is good too. Offending Qian Yiming means Xiao Zhan will have no foothold in Quancheng. We can use Qian Yiming to get rid of this scoundrel, and then I'll introduce you to Shaohui's better friends. We can kill two birds with one stone and save a lot of trouble."
"But..."
"Listen to me, I'm right!"
Sun Ziyi held onto Su Muqiu tightly, waiting to watch the show.
"Boy, are you talking to me?"
Qian Yiming put away the bank card he was holding out and looked back at Xiao Zhan, a playful look in his eyes, as if looking down at a negligible ant. He sneered coldly, "Say that again if you dare. In Quancheng, you're the first to snatch something from me."
"Is that so?"
Xiao Zhan strode to the counter, standing face to face with Qian Yiming, meeting his gaze fearlessly. He casually said, "I've changed my mind. I want not just this white dress, but everything in this store.
"If you want to buy anything, go to another store. Don't get in my way here."
His voice wasn't loud, but it was like thunder crashing down.
In an instant, everyone was stunned speechless. They never expected that Xiao Zhan would actually dare to confront Qian Yiming like this!
Telling Qian Yiming to get lost?
He was clearly courting death here.
"Seeking death!"
Chen Shaohui whispered, "Not only is the Qian family rich and powerful, Qian Yiming is also the chairman of the city's martial arts association. He runs a security company with hundreds of martial artists that he has personally trained. With one word from him, Xiao Zhan can easily disappear from Quancheng, or even from this world..."
"Killing someone is easier for him than crushing an ant!"
Sun Ziyi's face was ashen. "Muqiu, this guy's brain must have been kicked by a donkey. I knew he was violent, but didn't expect he would be suicidal..."
To be honest, Sun Ziyi now regretted stopping Su Muqiu earlier and not letting her stop Xiao Zhan. Although she disliked Xiao Zhan and wanted to use Qian Yiming to teach him a lesson and break them up, she didn't wish him dead.
As things escalated, it would be hard to end well.
Su Muqiu rushed over to grab Xiao Zhan's arm, worried. "It's just a dress. Since this lady likes it, let her have it. We can go to other stores. There may be even better ones..."
As she spoke, she tried to pull Xiao Zhan away.
"Let her have it?"
But Qian Yiming had no intention of letting this go. He sized up Su Muqiu, a flash of greed in his eyes. He sneered, "Boy, you have quite a beauty. If you want to let this go, how about letting me play with your wife for a few days? We'll call it even for today if you do. What do you say?"
Bang!
Almost at the same moment Qian Yiming finished speaking, Xiao Zhan acted without any hesitation, lashing out violently.
He kicked Qian Yiming in the stomach.
Qian Yiming never dreamed Xiao Zhan would dare attack him, so he was completely unguarded. All he felt was a piercing pain in his stomach before his whole body went flying.
He flew out over three meters, landing in the hallway outside the store.
Pu!
A mouthful of blood sprayed out, staining a large area of the floor.
Dead silence!
Xiao Zhan's movements were too fast. Too fast. And he gave no warning before striking, still as a mountain one second and vicious as a tiger the next. In the blink of an eye, Qian Yiming was kicked flying.
"You, you, you..."
The young woman's eyes were wide open, as if her eyeballs would pop out of their sockets. She trembled violently inside, pointing at Xiao Zhan but unable to curse. She turned to help Qian Yiming up, crying, "Bro Yiming! Are you okay?"
Again...
Su Muqiu was also dumbstruck, stunned silly. Although she had personally witnessed Xiao Zhan in action at the Empress Grand Hotel, she knew he was formidable. But that time, he was only against Su family bodyguards. This time, he had struck the son of Quancheng's richest man!
The nature was completely different!
"It's over. You've caused huge trouble."
Su Muqiu's heart sank to the bottom, utter despair in her voice. "Do you know who he is? He's the son of Quancheng's richest man, Qian Bancheng! Hitting him, not just you, even if it were the entire Su family, we couldn't withstand the wrath of the Qian family!"
"The richest man?"
Xiao Zhan frowned, then smiled. "So what? I said from now on, no one can bully you and Little Meng. Not just some Quancheng richest man. Even if the Jade Emperor came, anyone who dares disrespect you, I'll strike without hesitation."
His tone was plain, but carried an indescribable aura.
"You!"
Su Muqiu opened her mouth, meeting Xiao Zhan's determined gaze. She had wanted to rebuke him, but couldn't get the words out.
He was right. Xiao Zhan had fought for her twice now, regardless of cost or consequence.
To protect her unconditionally.
"Fool!"
Sun Ziyi walked over, face black. "I see clearly now. Although you're not much, you do truly care for Muqiu. For her, you even dare hit Qian Yiming."
"But have you thought this through? What happens after you hit him? You can indulge yourself and feel good, but what about Muqiu? The Su family? Once the Qian family retaliates, you're just a newly freed rapist with nothing. You don't care, but what about them? They'll all be implicated by your recklessness and pay the price!"
"Humph, you're simply a fool with a one-track mind!"
Sun Ziyi scolded more and more fiercely. Still, she was genuinely concerned for Su Muqiu.
Xiao Zhan didn't blame her.
"The trouble I stir up, I can resolve myself."
"You!"
With one sentence, Xiao Zhan left Sun Ziyi fuming through gritted teeth. She pulled Su Muqiu behind herself and scoffed, "Fine! Since you're so stubbornly foolish, insist on hitting yourself in the face, then resolve it yourself! I want to see how you'll resolve this!"

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
