My Cold and Ruthless CEO Wife-Chapter 19: Work Starts (3) : The Fun Is Just Starting

The atmosphere was tense. A hundred men surrounded the two of them, wooden bats resting on their shoulders and eyes filled with hostility.

The battle had escalated to this point as Murong Chen kept defeating the men that the boss sent, while Long Tian stood by as a bystander.

The boss kept gritting his teeth, watching his men get defeated until all of them arrived, and the scene of the battle became wider.

Long Tian looked at the men surrounding them. Some carried wooden weapons, enough to threaten Murong Chen.

He looked at his team leader, wondering how she would handle this.

She still had enough strength to deal with all of them, but with their numbers, it would be difficult, and victory would come with a little sacrifice—a deep wound.

When he saw that she was weary, he would back her up and finish the battle.

"Are you learning?" Murong Chen’s question interrupted his thoughts.

"Yes." He scratched his head as he answered.

"That’s great. Show me what you have learned," Murong Chen said.

Long Tian was stumped by her words. Looking at her, he wondered if he had misheard.

But she was already behind him, as if he were the main force of the battle or the hidden card she had prepared.

He didn’t expect this, which made him inwardly amused. It seemed she might have sensed his killing intent.

Now he was able to connect the dots as to why she picked him. She had known they were going somewhere that would require them to fight.

It was something she had planned, but he wasn’t falling for it.

"Haaa, but team leader, I don’t know how to fight," he complained, his legs shaking in fear.

Murong Chen pretended not to notice and faced him. "Don’t worry, this is just training. Just follow the moves I was displaying when I was fighting."

Long Tian’s expression froze. He looked at Murong Chen, wondering why he hadn’t noticed she was this cunning.

The moves she had been displaying were not something ordinary people could perform.

"Team leader, my body is thin and weak compared to them. I will just be crushed." Long Tian looked at them, his body trembling in dread.

She patted him on the back and said, "Don’t worry, you are a man." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

The young man and his men were watching the two of them shift the battle toward one another. This infuriated him, as they were belittling him and not taking him seriously.

Even his men were also angry. He immediately ordered one of them, who was holding a wooden bat, to attack them.

"Team leader, in this situation, you are more like a man while I am a woman," Long Tian retorted.

"Don’t say that. Do you want to hide behind a woman’s back?" she reprimanded him.

Long Tian’s tongue was caught. Her words were simply facts.

His gaze was fixed on his team leader, his eyes full of pleading, showing how scared he was.

But Murong Chen did not agree. She wanted to confirm her thoughts.

The burly man who had been tasked to attack them charged at Long Tian, just a breath away from bringing the weapon down on his head.

The boss and his men already thought they had succeeded. The boss could already envision his victory.

The burly man suddenly felt that he could no longer move his wooden bat. He couldn’t pull it back, nor could he push it forward.

He heard the gasps around him and looked ahead.

Long Tian’s right hand had clamped onto his weapon, and the incredible force shook him.

He was shocked. How could Long Tian, within that brief moment, stop the weapon?

Long Tian looked at Murong Chen, his aura changing. His gaze turned cold.

"I don’t like being played like this."

A fraction of his killing intent was released.

CRACK!

The boss and his men watched as Long Tian crushed the wooden bat into nothing. In the blink of an eye, the burly man was sent flying, spouting a mouthful of blood as he landed among the hundred men.

One thing that shook them was that Long Tian didn’t even look at the burly man. His gaze remained fixed on Murong Chen.

Their hearts trembled in fear.

"Capture him!" Their boss roared when he saw this. He tried to hide his trembling body. He still believed there was no way they could lose with their numbers.

He was wrong.

"I will settle this later." Long Tian gave her a chilly smile.

Murong Chen felt fear for a moment, but excitement soon replaced it. It seemed she had been right.

Long Tian looked at the charging hundred men. He had made several hypotheses before revealing part of his strength.

If he continued acting and took the blow, then if he were an ordinary man, Murong Chen would likely only act when she saw a lot of injuries on his body.

From that, he judged that she wasn’t a reckless person who would do something that might harm herself, which meant he would simply take injuries for nothing—perhaps only to be compensated with money afterward.

He couldn’t complain to Meng Lingxue, whom he was sure wouldn’t even bother, because interfering might expose their relationship.

Now, he wasn’t an ordinary person. Could a wooden bat even injure him?

Even if it did, with the healing power from his bloodline, it would look like something unreal to the others.

He had no option but to make this choice.

Murong Chen looked at Long Tian. Back at the office, she had sensed his killing intent, even if it was only for a moment.

But that had sparked her curiosity about who Long Tian really was, and she hoped she hadn’t sensed it wrong.

That was why all of this had been planned by her.

And she had been right.

"Take care of yourself." Long Tian snorted.

He looked at the hundred men before him. They would become an outlet for his anger.

He hated being played like this, and for some reason, his anger spiked higher than usual.

"Come at me together." He grinned.
