"Maybe I should call Aunt Zhou and let her know what's going on here, just in case something happens later and she blames me," Chu Mei said. Although she enjoyed showing off and was somewhat vain, she still had feelings for Zhou Rongli and couldn't just stand by while Jiang Chen was in trouble.
Chu Mei dialed Zhou Rongli's number again, embellishing the situation as she explained it. Her intention was to urge Zhou Rongli to get Jiang Chen out of Dao City as soon as possible. However, to her surprise, Zhou Rongli didn't seem shocked at all by what she heard.
"Chu Mei, don't worry. Jiang Chen will be fine," Zhou Rongli replied with a smile, internally grumbling that her godson was indeed a handful, always getting into trouble wherever he went.
" Zhou Rong Li, what's wrong with you? Your godson's girlfriend has seriously injured someone; he could end up in jail! Do you think I'm joking?" Chu Mei said anxiously.
"Really, it's nothing. Jiang Chen is capable; I can't control him. But don't worry, I won't be implicated," Zhou Rongli said calmly.
Chu Mei felt incredibly frustrated. After talking to Zhou Rongli for so long, she found that her concerns were dismissed. In the end, she could only hang up the phone helplessly.
"What's up with Zhou Rongli? Even though Jiang Chen isn't her biological son, she should at least care a little. Forget it; I've said what I needed to say. If she's not worried as his godmother, why should I be?" Chu Mei murmured to herself, feeling aggrieved that her good intentions were ignored.
"Forget it, Mom. There's no need to be the good person here; let's just turn a blind eye," Wang Duoduo said. She then walked over to Young Master Qian and played the role of the good Samaritan by calling an ambulance for him. At the same time, she contacted Manager Qian. Upon hearing that his son had been injured, Manager Qian flew into a rage and rushed over immediately.
Meanwhile, Jiang Chen had already put the incident behind him and was out dining with Lin Yin and Liu Chaowu at a restaurant.
In the afternoon, Jiang Chen didn't return to watch the Martial Arts Competition but instead explored Dao City for a while. The day passed peacefully until the next day when the Martial Arts Competition continued until the afternoon before concluding.
That evening was reserved for the Martial Arts Arena Tournament. This tournament was also held in the Martial Arts Hall but was not open to the public. The participants were mostly martial arts practitioners who were not affiliated with any major martial arts families; those prestigious families would never stoop to compete in such a low-profile arena event.
It was rumored that Chen Jie Li had invited an elder from the Hidden Sect to oversee this tournament, which attracted many martial artists eager to witness it firsthand since the Hidden Sect existed only in legends and few had ever seen its members.
Not many people could enter the Martial Arts Arena Tournament that night; of course, those with wealth and status were exceptions. Tickets for this tournament were extremely expensive—over a hundred thousand each—and without proper channels, even having money wouldn't guarantee entry.
The daytime Chinese Martial Arts Competition offered only a title and some minor rewards for its champion, but the winner of the Martial Arts Arena Tournament stood to gain a prize of one hundred million. To attract participants who were at least Inner Strength Experts—who could earn hundreds of thousands a year even as bodyguards—there needed to be enticing rewards on offer.
Inside the Martial Arts Hall, there was a bustling crowd of people with some status. As Jiang Chen and his companions entered the hall, they noticed a group of people approaching them.
