At this moment, both Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan felt indescribably guilty, but equally intense was their fascination and admiration for Chu Ge.

If it weren't for protecting them, why would Chu Ge appear here?

If it weren't for protecting them, Chu Ge would certainly have enough room to maneuver against the two ruthless bodyguards, yet from the moment they began their assault, Chu Ge stayed protectively in front of them, never leaving!

However, no matter how guilty Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan felt, no matter how their hearts raced, the military dagger in the second bodyguard's hand had already thrust forward, poised to strike Chu Ge in the next moment.

"Ding!"

At the moment everyone thought Chu Ge was doomed, the air suddenly rang with the grating sound of clashing metal, making their teeth ache.

Following that, the military dagger meant to stab into Chu Ge flew high into the air, and as the "ding" resonated, a muffled groan echoed through the air.

Except for Chu Ge who knew what had happened, no one else could see the occurrence clearly. All eyes instinctively followed the dagger flying towards the ceiling, filled with disbelief.

Of course, Chu Ge wasn't idle. While his right hand, which gripped the dagger in reverse, arced out from under his ribs, counterattacking and flicking away the second bodyguard's dagger, his left elbow suddenly struck the first bodyguard's chest.

"Boom!" The first bodyguard, hit by Chu Ge's elbow, collapsed to the ground.

Taking advantage of the moment when the second bodyguard's tiger mouth numbed, Chu Ge smoothly swung his left arm, his five fingers clamped like iron pincers around the second bodyguard's throat.

"You lay down too!"

Chu Ge snorted coldly, and with his left arm birthed strength, the second bodyguard's feet left the ground abruptly, as if he were not a burly human but a lightweight chick.

When Chu Ge swung his arm again, this bodyguard was also thrown to the ground with a "boom," lying alongside the first.

The first bodyguard, wanting to spring back up to continue fighting, saw Chu Ge suddenly raise his right hand. His vision blurred before a fleeting shadow flashed, followed by a soft "whizz" sound by his ear.

Again looking at Chu Ge's right hand, there was no trace of the dagger he had snatched away, as the lethal weapon had already embedded in the flowerpot next to the bodyguard's head.

The entire dagger was buried in the soil, only a tiny portion of the handle exposed, yet although unseen, it was hanging over the bodyguard's heart, draining his strength, leaving him stiff, afraid to make any rash moves.

Everything happened too quickly—from everyone thinking Chu Ge was doomed to him turning the tables and knocking down the two bodyguards—only a moment passed.

Chen Yujie's lips still held a smug curve, but his eyes showed shock as if he'd seen a ghost.

Even Chen Jue, usually composed, twitched his eyes fiercely; despite thinking he never underestimated Chu Ge's combat skill, he realized he still underestimated Chu Ge! Such prowess… Is this even human?

Chen Jue didn't believe Chu Ge's dagger toss missed its target; this was evidently psychological intimidation, blatant disdain!

It might even be to avoid leaving evident marks of a scuffle in this room. Otherwise, Chu Ge could easily have thrown the dagger onto the floor beside the bodyguard's head!

The sensation felt as if Chu Ge was saying to the bodyguard, "The dagger's in the flowerpot beside you, dare you pull it out and continue?"

Of course, Chen Jue became more convinced that Long Tao was indeed killed by Chu Ge.

Gao Wei felt his scalp tingle, eyes rolling back, nearly passing out, never imagining a person could be this terrifying. Just gazing at the dagger protruding partway from the flowerpot sent shivers down his spine, soaking his clothes in cold sweat almost instantly.

Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan were completely stunned, losing all ability to think, simply staring blankly at Chu Ge, their minds a void.

After several brief yet interminably long seconds, everyone witnessed an unforgettable scene. When the "whizz" echoed once more, they unanimously shivered.

The dagger Chu Ge flicked, nearing the high ceiling, began its free descent.

And the direction in which the military knife fell was actually the flowerpot right next to the second bodyguard's head. Then, in the gaze of those whose astonishment was beyond description, just like the first military knife, it pierced into that flowerpot.

If when the first military knife was hurled by Chu Ge and pierced into the flowerpot beside the first bodyguard, everyone except Chen Jue did not think much about it, then when this scene happened right under their nose, it compelled the almost blank minds to produce some new associations and thoughts.

If Chu Ge somehow calculated the landing spot of the second military knife when he inexplicably threw it, who can believe that? Who dares to believe that?

Even though they witnessed the process with their own eyes, they still felt as if it were an illusion.

However, even if they couldn't accept this fact from the bottom of their hearts, facts are facts. It was a real occurrence right in this room, right before them.

Gao Wei's facial muscles twitched violently a few times. His mouth gaped wide as if wanting to take a deep breath, or perhaps to let out a scream, but he finally did nothing, just rolled his eyes back and completely fainted. If he hadn't drunk much today, his pants would surely be wet by now.

"Want to continue fighting?"

Chu Ge glanced at the two bodyguards lying on the ground and casually asked.

The two bodyguards were speechless, with no intention whatsoever to continue battling Chu Ge. This guy was simply a monster, and they knew with their toes that no matter how many times they fought again, it would only end in their miserable defeat.

Apart from feeling a strong sense of defeat, the two bodyguards also felt deep gratitude towards Chu Ge.

They had no doubt that Chu Ge had the ability to easily kill or maim them. However, he didn't do that and instead let them understand the huge gap between them and him.

Since Chu Ge dared to confront Chen Yujie, it was enough to show that not only was his skill at a monstrous level but his background was also strong. At this level, resolving a deadly incident might be a bit troublesome, but resolving a disabling incident wouldn't really mean much.

If Chu Ge had indeed crippled them, they would immediately become worthless to Chen Yujie and the Chen Family, and their future would be miserable beyond words.

The two bodyguards stood up silently and gave Chu Ge a deep look before returning to stand protectively in front of Chen Yujie.

This time, Chen Yujie didn't vent his anger on the two bodyguards. He knew he couldn't blame them for being weak; it was just that Chu Ge was too strong.

Chen Yujie took a deep breath, his eyes fixed intently on Chu Ge. He appeared calm on the surface as he lit a cigarette, but his slightly trembling fingers betrayed his inner tension.

He couldn't understand. Which young master wasn't pampered and indulged in luxury? Even if some liked to practice martial arts, it was just for showing off to impress girls. But this Chu Ge, how was he so overwhelmingly powerful?

Thinking of this, Chen Yujie suddenly paused. Could it be... this Chu Ge has some connection with those ancient martial arts families unknown to the world? Hence, he managed to attain such incredible skills?

Chen Yujie's gaze flickered as he took a heavy drag on his cigarette. He knew now wasn't the time to think about these things. Since his two bodyguards couldn't do anything to Chu Ge, he needed to figure out how to temporarily resolve the situation for today.

Blowing out the smoke, Chen Yujie's mind raced. He couldn't swallow this humiliation if he admitted defeat, but if he didn't admit it, what could he do?

Continue using his background to pressure Chu Ge? It seemed... useless. If Chu Ge feared that, he wouldn't have ruined his plans on their first meeting, and he wouldn't come after him today over two insignificant women!

Chen Jue slightly averted his gaze, noticing the conflict in Chen Yujie's face, knowing he had to speak now. Considering this, he decided to play the peacemaker role, turning this big issue into a small one and resolving it. It wasn't a big deal if he admitted defeat on behalf of Chen Yujie.

Having decided, Chen Jue once again wore a gentlemanly elegant smile and began speaking in a joking tone.

"Mr. Chu, indeed, that's impressive skill. Today, you've truly opened my eyes. My younger brother was just joking with you earlier. How about ending the joke here?"

Chu Ge laughed, turning his gaze to Chen Jue. In a sense, he truly admired and even respected Chen Jue.

This guy could spout nonsense with eyes wide open, yet make it sound so composed and extraordinary. In this, he prided himself on being an expert, but honestly, he might really be inferior to Chen Jue.

Just now, Chen Yujie genuinely harbored murderous intent, and the two bodyguards wielding military knives aimed directly at vital points. If it were someone else, they would have been dead by now. But this situation was described by Chen Jue as nothing more than an innocuous joke?

Of course, Chu Ge understood Chen Jue's wish to play the role of a peacemaker, but letting this whole thing blow over with the word "joke," wouldn't it be an even more ludicrous "joke"?
