After the divorce, the CEO's ex-wife deeply regretted her actions.

The bar's security guards arrived upon hearing the commotion, wielding rubber batons and shouting menacingly:

"Stop! What are you doing?"

Chen Yun took advantage of the chaos to leave the bar. He didn't want to make a big deal out of it, but he wasn't afraid of trouble either.

Chen Yun left the bar, the neon lights flashing behind him like mocking eyes.

He frowned in disgust, leaving the noise and the smell of perfume behind.

Tonight's experience was just a minor episode in his life, not worth wasting his time dwelling on.

He just wanted to find a quiet place, have a drink, and clear his mind.

A 24-hour convenience store came into view, its cool white lights standing out against the night.

Chen Yun went inside, grabbed a bottle of beer, paid, and then continued wandering aimlessly along the street.

He stopped in his tracks as he passed a park.

The park was quiet, with only the dim streetlights casting long shadows of the trees.

Chen Yun walked to a bench, sat down, unscrewed the cap of a beer bottle, and took a big gulp.

The cool liquid slid down my throat, bringing a brief moment of comfort.

He gazed at the flashing neon lights in the distance, his thoughts drifting.

Too many things have happened recently, and he feels somewhat exhausted.

He needs time to organize his thoughts and prepare for the next steps.

Suddenly, a faint sobbing sound broke the tranquility of the park, coming from the bushes not far away.

Chen Yun stood up alertly and walked towards the sound.

He parted the dense branches and saw a young girl huddled under the tree, her shoulders trembling.

The girl's clothes were tattered, and her face was covered in tears, as if she had been frightened.

Chen Yun hesitated for a moment, then walked over and asked softly, "Are you alright?"

The girl looked up at Chen Yun with teary eyes.

She was stunned at first, then as if grasping at a lifeline, she suddenly threw herself into Chen Yun's arms and burst into tears.

Chen Yun stood frozen in place, somewhat at a loss.

He wasn't very good at handling these kinds of unexpected situations, especially when faced with a girl crying her eyes out.

He gently patted the girl's back, trying to comfort her, but it didn't seem to have any effect.

The girl's cries grew louder and louder, and her body trembled more and more violently.

Chen Yun sighed and could only let her hug him and cry. He looked down at the girl's disheveled hair.

After a while, the girl's crying gradually subsided.

She looked up at Chen Yun with teary eyes, and said in a choked voice, "Thank you..."

Chen Yun shook his head, indicating that there was no need to thank him. He asked softly:

"What happened? Why are you crying here all by yourself?"

The girl hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head and whispered, "I...I was robbed..."

"Robbed them?" Chen Yun frowned. "Did they call the police?"

The girl shook her head. "No...no..."

"Why didn't you call the police?" Chen Yun asked, puzzled.

The girl bit her lip and didn't say anything.

Chen Yun looked at the girl and roughly understood. He sighed and said, "Alright, I'll take you home first."

The girl looked up at Chen Yun gratefully, "Thank you..."

"You're welcome," Chen Yun said casually.

Chen Yun helped the girl to her feet, and then they walked out along the park path.

The girl walked very slowly and seemed to be very weak.

Chen Yun slowed his pace to match her speed.

"What's your name?" Chen Yun asked.

"My name is... Xiaoya," the girl said softly.

"Xiaoya," Chen Yun nodded, "where do you live?"

Xiaoya told Chen Yun her address, which was a residential area not far from the park.

Chen Yun brought Xiao Ya to the entrance of the residential area and was about to take her inside when suddenly, several shady-looking men walked over from the side and blocked their way.

"Hey, isn't this Xiaoya?" one of the men said with a grin.

"What, you've changed lovers again?"

Xiaoya's expression changed, and she involuntarily hid behind Chen Yun.

Chen Yun looked at the men in front of him, his eyes gradually turning cold.

He recognized these people; they were the same guys he had beaten up in the bar earlier.

Chen Yun shielded Xiao Ya behind him, like protecting a frightened rabbit.

He stared coldly at the group of thugs in front of him.

The cheap perfume they wore, mixed with the smell of smoke and alcohol, made him feel nauseous.

The one in the lead had dyed his hair yellow; he was the one who had been beaten up the worst in the bar before.

The blond-haired man grinned, revealing two front teeth with a missing corner, looking just like a snarling mongrel.

"Hey, isn't this Boss Chen?" the blond-haired guy said sarcastically.

"What, changed your taste? Now you like simulation games?"

The other thugs joined in the jeering, letting out lewd laughter.

Chen Yun remained expressionless. These people had come deliberately to cause trouble; the feud was now officially established tonight.

"What do you want to do?"

"Nothing much, just wanted to catch up with Boss Chen." Yellow Hair said, taking a step closer to Chen Yun.

"We're not done with what happened last time."

Chen Yun clenched his fist without making a sound, secretly assessing the situation.

The other side has a large number of people and might even be armed; a head-on confrontation would definitely result in a loss.

He needs to find a way to stall for time, preferably until the community security guards arrive.

Just as the stalemate was reaching its conclusion, a series of hurried footsteps could be heard in the distance.

The community security guards arrived after hearing the news, breaking the tense atmosphere.

"what happened?"

The security guard asked sternly, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Chen Yun and the thugs.

The blond-haired man's eyes darted around, and he immediately put on a wronged expression.

"Security guard, this kid is bullying us!" he said, pointing at Chen Yun with a mournful face.

"We were just passing by, and he came up and started hitting us!"

Chen Yun sneered and was about to retort when Xiao Ya tugged at his sleeve.

She hid behind Chen Yun, trembling.

Chen Yun's heart softened, and he gently patted her hand, signaling her not to be afraid.

The security guard was clearly used to these thugs' tricks. He turned to Chen Yun and asked:

"Young man, what's going on?"

Chen Yun briefly explained what had happened and pointed out that these people were deliberately trying to cause trouble.

After hearing this, the security guard's face darkened, and he turned to reprimand the blond-haired man and his gang:

"You lot, get out of here right now! This neighborhood isn't a place for you to run wild!"

Although Huang Mao and his gang were unwilling, they didn't dare to cause trouble in front of the security guards and could only leave cursing.

Before leaving, the blond-haired guy didn't forget to throw out a threat: "Kid, you just wait!"

Chen Yun watched them leave, but he remained vigilant in the slightest.

These people won't let this go; they'll definitely come looking for trouble again.

"Thank you," Xiaoya said in a voice barely audible.

Chen Yun turned around and looked at Xiao Ya's pale face, feeling a pang of pity in his heart.

He said softly, "It's alright, don't be afraid."

The security guard asked with concern, "Young lady, are you alright?"

Xiaoya shook her head and lowered her head, not daring to speak.
