Chapter 70: Ip Man Lives!

At the same time, Lin Fan unhesitatingly exchanged for a Golden Armor item card in the system store.

[100,000 wealth points deducted to exchange for the "Golden Armor" item card. The effect is immediate. Duration: two hours!]

[Current wealth points: 92,710,000]

Previously, he had 67,810,000 wealth points. After spending 2.5 billion to purchase Starlight Entertainment, his wealth increased by 25 million.

"Go inside and hide for a while," Lin Fan instructed Miao Tiantian with an air of casual indifference after redeeming the Golden Armor item.

But Miao Tiantian was trembling, full of anxiety and fear.

"He's not someone to mess with. Should I call the police... or maybe contact Miss Su?"

"Someone like him, even the police would rather not get involved," Lin Fan saw through it all. At Bai Jiahao's level, even if he committed a crime, he'd find a way to get away with it. He might not even care about Su Juanmo.

"Don't worry, I know martial arts. These guys are no match for me." As the group drew nearer, Lin Fan had to explain that he was skilled in combat.

"Just be careful..." Miao Tiantian obediently retreated into the building, ready to call the police or get security if things went wrong.

Once she was inside, Lin Fan turned and swept a glance over the seven thugs.

"Outnumbering me, is that something to be proud of? Come at me one by one..." Lin Fan deliberately left an opening.

This group, intimidated by his composure, was wary, and since he seemed ready to fight alone, they felt no need for caution.

"I'll spar with you!" The leader, a burly man with a broad back, clearly practiced in martial arts, stepped forward, clenching his fist and swinging at Lin Fan's face.

His hand, like a tiger's claw, would have sent any ordinary person recoiling in terror at the sight.

But Lin Fan remained motionless.

The man's arm had barely extended halfway when Lin Fan's left hand snatched it out of the air.

"Hmm?" The burly man grunted in surprise and quickly swung his left fist toward Lin Fan's shoulder.

But again, before his arm could fully rise, Lin Fan seized his wrist in an instant.

Now, the two were locked together like sumo wrestlers, their arms entangled in midair. But a closer look showed Lin Fan had both of the man's wrists firmly in his grasp.

Lin Fan sneered coldly, and, without hesitation, twisted with all his strength—breaking the man's arm outright.

A miserable howl escaped the man.

The intense pain robbed the burly thug of all his strength; he collapsed to his knees on the spot.

Seeing this, Lin Fan released his grip and said mockingly, "Such a grand gesture? I can't possibly accept it!"

"Young Master Bai, my arm's broken! My arm's broken!" the burly man wailed.

Only then did the others realize Lin Fan had tricked him.

"Get him! All at once!" shouted Bai Jiahao from behind, furious that Lin Fan, who had seemed so unremarkable and harmless, could be so ruthless and cunning.

The remaining six wasted no words, lunging at Lin Fan like hungry wolves.

But Lin Fan dodged nimbly, adopted an offensive stance, and after kicking the two in front flying, landed a series of heavy punches on the third thug's chest.

More cries of pain followed as the third thug's ribs were easily broken by Lin Fan.

The fourth man struck Lin Fan's occiput from behind with a punch.

Strangely, his fist felt as though it had hit a brick wall!

He was sure he'd hit Lin Fan's head, yet it felt like smashing his fist with a sledgehammer.

Was this guy's head made of iron?

As he hesitated in confusion, Lin Fan spun and smashed his elbow into the man's chin.

The thug's tongue was bitten off by his own teeth in the impact.

In the next moment, the last two tackled Lin Fan to the ground, but he rolled, sprang up like a carp leaping from water, and, without any superfluous moves, delivered two lightning-fast kicks, sending them flying down the steps.

In less than two minutes, all seven men were writhing on the ground like slaughtered pigs, moaning in pain.

One of them even coughed up blood, spitting out a piece of his own tongue.

When Lin Fan fixed his gaze on Bai Jiahao, Bai Jiahao's face blanched in terror; he shivered uncontrollably.

"Don't—don't come any closer!" he stammered, eyes wide as saucers, staring at Lin Fan as if he'd seen a ghost.

Seven men, and none were a match for Lin Fan!

It was as if Ip Man himself had come back to life!

Yet Lin Fan acted unconcerned, looking at him with the same air of ease.

He had seen Lin Fan struck in the head from behind, but the man hadn't even staggered—completely defying all reason!

"You rich second-generation types really have double standards. You can bully others, but can't stand it when someone fights back?" Lin Fan retorted angrily.

Thank goodness for the system and the protective item card—without them, he might not have made it out alive today.

Truth be told, the Golden Armor card was extremely useful.

Practically invulnerable to knives and bullets, immune to all poisons.

When the fourth thug struck the back of his head, Lin Fan had felt only a slight twinge, as if someone had flicked his skull.

These seven were all adept at fighting, and each was bulkier than him.

Though it was his first time fighting outnumbered, backed by his skills, he had effortlessly left them all lightly injured—far exceeding his expectations.

"Don't you know who I am? I'm the second son of the Bai family! My older brother knows the kingpin of Hang City's underworld! With a single word, he could wipe out your whole family. If you dare lay a hand on me, I'll have him skin you alive!"

"Oh my, how terrifying. Aren't you afraid the Bai family might be ruined and left with nothing?" Lin Fan replied with a light chuckle.

If he wished, he could have Wang Jianguo bring the Bai family to its knees.

"Idiot, go home and find out who I am before you consider crossing me! I'm letting you off today, but if you dare harass me again, I won't be so lenient."

Lin Fan jabbed a finger at his nose in warning.

But he had underestimated Bai Jiahao's nature.

Accustomed to arrogance and indulgence, Bai Jiahao only grew more rebellious and defiant the more he was threatened.

"This isn't over! Just wait, I'll make you pay for this," Bai Jiahao said through clenched fists, frozen in place.

But all he could do was rage impotently; he dared not strike.

Lin Fan ignored him. At this moment, Bai Jiahao was nothing more than a cockroach in his eyes.

He turned and entered the lobby, leaving with Miao Tiantian in a calm and composed manner.

Once inside the car, Miao Tiantian finally let out a shaky breath. "That was so scary! Mr. Lin, I had no idea you were so amazing..."

She gazed at Lin Fan, her eyes sparkling star-like with admiration.

Lin Fan shot her a glance, noticing her flushed cheeks and lovestruck expression. Only then did he realize this girl was drawn to strong, slightly roguish men.

No wonder she had been snatched up by that pig Bai Jiahao!
