Chapter 143: Do you think you can just brush me off with a single meal?

A sudden conflict broke out, and many people in the restaurant panicked and fled in every direction.
The two security guards grabbed their batons and said, “Kid, do you realize you’ve gotten yourself into trouble? You actually dared to hit our young master.”
As they spoke, they glared menacingly at Shen Guodong.
At six feet one, Shen Guodong was a tall, powerfully built man. Seeing the two guards trying to intimidate him, he merely let out a cold snort.
Young Master Wang was slowly helped to his feet by the waitress named A Li. He wiped the corner of his mouth with a tissue and sneered. “What are you waiting for? Take this bastard down right now. Then call my father. This man must be taken to the police station.”
“What he’s done is utterly vile. He actually dared to come eat at our restaurant. We’ll put him on the blacklist so he can never set foot in our establishment again.”
Young Master Wang was a spoiled heir, and now that someone had struck him, he immediately knew how to use his connections to make things easier for himself.
Sure enough, once he gave the order, the two guards moved forward. Shen Guodong did not even budge; he simply stepped to the side and said, “Let me see who dares come any closer.”
His presence was imposing. Liu Yueru and Liu Yuexian both looked flustered. They were women, after all, and anyone would feel frightened when suddenly caught up in a situation like this.
Shen Guodong gave a cold laugh. “What, now you’re calling for reinforcements? With your pathetic abilities, you think you can threaten me? That’s hilarious.”
Under pressure from Young Master Wang, the two guards charged forward. Before they could even touch him, Shen Guodong felled them with two or three punches.
The guards collapsed onto the floor. Young Master Wang’s eyes widened in shock as he realized that Shen Guodong was probably a trained fighter.
He immediately frowned and shouted, “What are you waiting for? Go upstairs and get my father! He’s in the restaurant.”
One of the guards nodded. “Yes, young master.” He immediately ran up the stairs.
Shen Guodong sneered. “Fine. Today I’m going to see how far you people can go. You flirted with my wife right in front of me and harassed my sister-in-law. No matter where this matter is judged, I’m the one in the right.”
“Even if we have to call the police, I’ll make sure they decide whether having money really means you can do whatever you want.”
After a while, a hurried succession of footsteps came from upstairs.
An elderly man wearing a traditional tunic and black-rimmed glasses slowly walked down the stairs.
When he turned his head, he immediately spotted Young Master Wang sitting in a chair and clutching his mouth.

The old man hurried over and asked, “Young master, what happened? The master is taking his afternoon nap.”
“What nap? His son is practically being beaten to death! Butler Chen, look at me! Are you going to do nothing about this? I was beaten like this in my own family’s restaurant. If word gets out, where will I put my dignity?”
At that, Butler Chen turned his head and saw Shen Guodong nearby.
For some reason, the man looked vaguely familiar, but Butler Chen could not remember where he had seen him before.
Since he could not recall, Butler Chen immediately ordered, “Men, drag this fellow to the back courtyard. I’ll deal with him personally today. He actually dared to lay a hand on our young master. Does he have no idea what kind of power our family commands?”
At his command, the two security guards who had just been knocked down tried to stand. But each of them clutched his stomach and soon sank back down, clearly unable to continue fighting.
Seeing his men sprawled on the floor, Butler Chen cursed angrily, “Useless fools! What have I been feeding you for all this time? When it matters, you’re completely worthless.”
He then shouted, “Get more men here at once!”
Hurried footsteps immediately echoed from the hotel staircase. Four men wearing black, close-fitting outfits soon came down.
Shen Guodong could tell at a glance that they were trained fighters. All four were powerfully built and extraordinarily agile.
He was no amateur himself and could see that they had studied martial arts.
Frowning, he said, “What is this? Is a simple meal really enough for you to start attacking me?”
Liu Yueru rose to her feet and said, “What are you doing? I’m calling the police right now. We should report this instead of resorting to violence.”
When Butler Chen saw Liu Yueru step forward to speak, his brows drew together. “What good will the police do? We can settle this privately. That’ll be the end of it. Come on, pull him up.”
The four bodyguards charged forward.
Shen Guodong stood up, blocking the way like a lone gatekeeper against an entire army. “Let me see who dares take one more step.”
His furious roar instantly shook the room and momentarily intimidated the bodyguards.
But the four men were clearly seasoned fighters. They were not frightened for long and continued rushing forward.
The restaurant’s customers had already fled. Seeing the room grow empty and spacious, Shen Guodong said, “Come on, then. If you want a fight, you’ll get one.”
With that, he charged first.

After several muffled impacts, the four men in black training clothes were sent flying one after another.
Shen Guodong took two deep breaths. “I really haven’t exercised in a long time. I’m getting older. Even my reaction speed can’t keep up anymore.”
Liu Yueru and Liu Yuexian stood nearby, completely stunned. They had never imagined that Shen Guodong possessed such incredible skill. He had taken down four muscular men in the blink of an eye.
Butler Chen was equally dumbfounded. He had never expected Shen Guodong to be so formidable. Those four men were all masters of traditional martial arts whom he had hired at great expense.
They had even trained for years at a temple.
Calling them martial arts masters would not have been an exaggeration. Their physiques were exceptionally well developed, every muscle honed to perfection.
Shen Guodong noticed the astonishment in Butler Chen’s eyes and said, “What’s wrong? Have you run out of options already?”
“If you don’t want to call the police, that’s fine. We can settle this privately.”
He walked over, grabbed Wang Chao—who was trembling in his seat—and slammed him to the floor.
“Can you speak properly now?”
Young Master Wang had witnessed Shen Guodong’s astonishing speed and realized that he too must be a trained fighter. Trembling, he stammered, “You… whatever you say. We’ll do whatever you want.”
Seeing him shake so violently that he could barely speak, Shen Guodong lifted Young Master Wang off the ground with one hand.
The terrifying display of strength made Butler Chen hastily speak up. “Wait!”
“Let go of our young master. I’ll apologize to you. You can name any amount of money you want. You want to eat squirrel-shaped mandarin fish? Fine—order as much as you like. It’s all on the house.”
Shen Guodong turned toward Butler Chen, his expression dark and menacing.
“You think you can dismiss me with a single meal?”
