Chapter 33: A True Fighter

Chen Mengyun hadn't interacted with Lu Chengwen for years, and in the past two days, she felt that he was completely different from before.

She couldn't pinpoint exactly what had changed, but something about him was just strange.

Now, Lu Chengwen was driving like he was about to take off, scaring Chen Mengyun so much that her face turned pale.

"Lu Chengwen! What's the rush? Slow down! Slow down!" she shouted.

Lu Chengwen was annoyed. "Shut up! I'm in a hurry—your brother is about to die!"

Chen Mengyun was stunned. "Moqun?

What nonsense are you talking about?"

Lu Chengwen snapped, "Just keep quiet!"

Seeing how tense Lu Chengwen was, Chen Mengyun felt uneasy but didn't dare to ask more. She could only close her eyes.

Lu Chengwen hadn't expected that his decision to play it safe had completely messed up the original plot.

The storyline where Chen Moqun gets set up and killed by Long Aotian was about to unfold.

According to the original plot, Chen Moqun was supposed to die at the Neon Baby nightclub.

And right now, Chen Moqun was at Neon Baby nightclub.

The moment Lu Chengwen got the call, his brain reacted instantly—I need to save him!

First, Chen Moqun was one of the few friends he had.

Second, while Chen Moqun wasn't exactly a good person, he didn't deserve to die.

He was just a spoiled second-generation rich kid, a little arrogant but not a bully. Most of the time, he was polite to everyone.

His only faults were indulging in women and wasting time.

In the original plot, killing him was just a way to clear the path for Long Aotian to take over the Chen family's assets.

But as his friend, Lu Chengwen couldn't bear to watch him get beaten to death.

As soon as the car arrived at Neon Baby, Lu Chengwen jumped out and rushed inside.

This wasn't a place just anyone could afford to visit, and Chen Moqun never went to ordinary nightclubs.

A few low-level thugs at the entrance immediately stopped Lu Chengwen.

"Hey, brother, do you even know what kind of place this is before barging in?"

Zhao Gang shouted angrily, "Get lost! Do you even know who you're stopping? Snow City's Lu Shao! Do you have a death wish?"

The leader quickly changed his attitude. "Oh! Lu Shao! Welcome, welcome! What brings you here…"

Lu Chengwen slapped his face. "Get out of my way."

Then he grabbed a guy at random. "Where's that fat bastard Chen Moqun?"

The young man forced a smile. "Chen Shao is on the fifth floor."

"Take me there!"

The leader quickly spoke into his radio. "Lu Shao from the Lu family is heading upstairs—get ready to receive him!"

"Which Lu Shao?"

"Who the hell else? The super-rich second-generation heir with billions in assets, the one who dares to call Chen Shao a fat bastard!"

Lu Chengwen stormed into Neon Baby with Zhao Gang and Chen Mengyun.

The name Neon Baby already sounded suggestive, and its décor was just as flashy—bright colors, a seductive atmosphere.

As soon as they stepped onto the stairs, rows of girls in silk stockings and glittering dresses stood on both sides, wearing high heels and sweetly chanting, "Welcome, Lu Shao, to Neon Baby!"

A woman, around thirty years old, walked up with a smile. "Lu Shao, what an honor!

You're quite the rare guest!"

"Where's the fat bastard?" Lu Chengwen asked.

"He's upstairs. Why don't you sit down for a bit and enjoy some company first—"

"No need. Take me to him now."

Lu Chengwen's arrival sent waves through the entire nightclub.

He had only come to places like this a few times during college. After breaking up with Chen Mengyun, he had spent some time in a slump before pursuing Leng Qingqiu, and since then, he had never set foot in such places.

But Chen Moqun had carried on this "fine tradition" with full enthusiasm.

Seeing how anxious and irritable Lu Chengwen was, Chen Mengyun started to believe something was really wrong.

"Is my brother okay? Why would he be in danger?"

Lu Chengwen glanced at her. I'll have to see for myself. I only know he's supposed to die, but I'm not sure exactly how yet.

The door to a large suite swung open, revealing a huge screen partition blocking the view inside.

Even before they entered, they heard Chen Moqun shouting, "I'm gonna die!"

Chen Mengyun's legs went weak in fear. Lu Chengwen caught her and walked past the screen.

What a sight.

Tragic!

Absolutely tragic!

A complete and utter tragedy!

Chen Moqun was lying on a massage chair—one girl massaging his head, two rubbing his feet, and another two working on his arms.

His face was covered with a colorful facial mask, and he was groaning in pleasure.

Chen Mengyun's face turned white with rage. "This is your 'life-or-death emergency'?"

Lu Chengwen snapped, "Chen Moqun!"

"Huh?" Chen Moqun didn't move, just spoke. "Oh, Chengwen, you're here? Grab a girl and get a massage, man—it's amazing!"

Lu Chengwen walked up and waved the girls away.

The madam, knowing Lu Chengwen wasn't to be messed with, quickly said, "Alright, everyone out!"

"You too," Lu Chengwen ordered.

"Yes, of course. If you need anything, just call me."

Chen Moqun sat up, peeling off his facial mask. "What's the deal? I was just relaxing… Oh, sis? Sis, let me explain—I swear, this is my first time here!"

Chen Mengyun shot them both a glare. "Shut up. Lu Chengwen, explain—what's going on?"

"Where's Hu Shuhui?" Lu Chengwen asked.

Hearing that name, Chen Moqun's face darkened. "I beat him up and sent him running—he's probably gathering his crew."

Lu Chengwen nodded. "Don't come to this place again—it's dangerous for you."

Chen Moqun laughed. "Oh yeah, super dangerous—I just got attacked by five beautiful girls!"

Just as Lu Chengwen was about to speak, the door was kicked open.

Hu Shuhui stormed in, cursing. "Chen, you fat bastard, get out here!"

Chen Moqun lazily grabbed his robe. "What do you want, loser?"

Outside, their men were already squaring off, shoving each other, on the verge of a brawl.

Hu Shuhui shouted, "You stole my girl! If I don't beat you to a pulp today, I'll change my last name!"

Lu Chengwen turned to him. "Hu Shuhui, we still have unfinished business. You'd better back off."

Hu Shuhui laughed. "Oh, so you two are teaming up again? Fine! I've got a new friend now. You think you can fight? Try going up against him!"

From the crowd, someone stepped forward—it was Long Aotian.

Lu Chengwen was shocked.

Not because Long Aotian was here.

According to the original plot, Chen Moqun was bound to encounter him at Neon Baby.

What shocked him was that Long Aotian was now working with Hu Shuhui.

What the hell!?

You're supposed to be the righteous protagonist! Why are you standing next to a small-time villain?!

This… how should I deal with this?
