Chapter 375: Chapter 375

It wasn’t just An Xiaoqing who found it baffling; Liu Yue couldn’t figure out how Yan Rongrong had lost either.

"That’s right. The force behind your punch was ferocious. Even as bystanders, we could feel how powerful it was.

I’ve seen some of Lin Jiji’s bodyguards deal with troublemakers before, and your punch just now was even more impressive than their moves.

Normally, even if Doctor Chen had tried to block with all his strength, he might not have been able to stop it. But he just slowly lifted his hand and seemed to block it so casually. How did he not only neutralize your move with such ease, but also ’kill’ you three times and take advantage of you in the process?"

Yan Rongrong took a deep breath. "Amateurs see the spectacle, but experts see the technique. To you, it looked like Chenyang just gave a casual wave of his hand. But to a trained eye, that casual move contained the force of a thousand pounds."

"A thousand pounds of force?"

"’A thousand pounds’ is just a general descriptor. Of course, the force he used just now was probably several hundred pounds, if not a thousand. When the edge of his palm grabbed my fist, I couldn’t keep my balance even when I used all my strength to steady myself."

"Is it really that incredible? But his movements looked so gentle and slow to us."

"That’s the most terrifying thing about Tai Chi. The essence of its philosophy is using softness to overcome hardness and neutralizing force with yielding. When an opponent uses a heavy punch, you can use the principles of Tai Chi to deflect most of their power and then redirect that force right back at them."

As she spoke, Yan Rongrong glanced at Chenyang, her expression turning serious. "That guy must have the Child’s Skill, and his talent for Tai Chi is far beyond what I could have imagined.

Back when I was in the military, I knew an old veteran who practiced Tai Chi. That veteran had grasped half of its principles and could easily defeat me with one hand.

But Chenyang... if he were to fight me with his full strength, he could probably take on three of me with just one hand."

HISS! Hearing this, both An Xiaoqing and Liu Yue gasped in shock.

"I only knew Chenyang knew a little kung fu before, but I never thought he was this strong."

"His medical skills are exquisite and his kung fu is outstanding. How could a man like that stoop to taking bribes or advantage of people? This time, I’m afraid that even without me, Doctor Chen could have resolved the trouble Lin Jiji brought, right?"

Chenyang shrugged. "Besides working with you, I did have other options. However, coming to you was the easiest and least costly method."

"Right here, right now, I’m one hundred percent certain: Lin Jiji has really picked a fight with the wrong person this time!"

"Hahaha."

"What are you laughing at!" Yan Rongrong glared at Chenyang, resentful and angry. "Does humiliating a woman make you feel proud of yourself? Is feigning weakness the way of a gentleman?"

Chenyang raised an eyebrow. "I humiliated you because you humiliated me first. As for feigning weakness, what are you talking about?"

"You’re obviously very skilled, but you didn’t say so beforehand. Isn’t that feigning weakness?"

Chenyang sneered, "Are you kidding me? Before we started, didn’t I tell you that if I made the first move, you wouldn’t have a chance to strike back? That sentence alone should have been enough to prove I was stronger than you, right?

But what about you? Not only did you not believe me, you even said I was bluffing. Now that you’ve been proven wrong, you’re blaming me for not spelling it out? What’s the deal? Is being unreasonable and twisting the facts a special privilege reserved for women?"

"I..." Yan Rongrong was suddenly at a loss for words, her pretty face flushing red.

Chenyang let out a cold laugh. "What? You can afford to make the bet, but you can’t afford to lose?"

"Who said I can’t afford to lose!" Yan Rongrong forced herself to ask, "Go on, then. What price do you want me to pay?"

Chenyang didn’t answer right away. Instead, he stepped closer, pinched her chin, and smiled. "I can tell you’re not convinced. For one, you think I’m not as strong as you imagined, and for two, you’re upset that you couldn’t beat me.

With that as the premise, even if I made you pay the price, you’d definitely be unhappy about it. And I’m not one to force people to do things against their will..."

Yan Rongrong frowned and cut him off. "If you’re thinking of calling off the bet, then let me just say one thing: I don’t need your sympathy or pity."

"You’re overthinking it. I want you to be completely and utterly convinced before you fulfill the terms of our bet." Chenyang stretched lazily, then started walking toward the car as he spoke.

"After I’m done with my business, you find a place. We can fight first and then have sex, or we can have sex first and then fight. In any case, until I’ve thoroughly conquered you with both my fists and my cock, you don’t have to fulfill your end of the bet!"
