Chapter 46
Fade Chen nodded and said, "Not long after we left the
company, the two cars have been following us. Then, the car in front of us
suddenly stopped. I was worried about an accident and stopped the car. I didn't
expect that the car behind them was so crazy and proceeded to crash into
us."
After hearing this, Lily Wei stared at Fade Chen. "You've long discovered
that we were being followed. Why didn't you tell me?"
Fade Chen threw up his hands and said innocently, "Lily, at the beginning,
I was just suspicious. I was not sure! When I became sure it was a trap, they
launched the attack. I didn't have time to tell you!"
"You had better be telling the truth." Lily Wei rolled her eyes at
Fade Chen and then walked over to the bald man. She kicked him again and asked,
"Tell me, who are you? Why are you following us?"
Looking at the painful expression on the bald man's face, Fade Chen couldn't
help but shrink his neck. He thought, "Don't provoke women. Women who are
angry are even scarier than men!"
The bald man was quite tough at the moment. He straightened his neck and said
with a red face, "We did not follow you. We were just driving here and got
into an accident with you."
"You're still denying it." Lily Wei's face turned dark. She raised
her slender legs in high heels and was about to kick him again.
Fade Chen quickly stopped Lily Wei. Lily Wei stared at him and said, "Why
are you stopping me, are you both in this together?"
Fade Chen quickly exclaimed that he had been wronged. He looked at Lily Wei's
lower body and said with a smile, "Manager, I didn't mean that. I was just
worried that you might give him a flash of your underwear."
Lily Wei looked down and realized that she was wearing a formal dress with
tight skirt. The skirt was not long, and after a few kicks, her beautiful white
legs were exposed.
Lily Wei blushed. She quickly pulled her skirt down and glared at Fade Chen,
blaming him for not reminding her earlier.
Lily Wei frowned and said, "If you don't let me beat him, what should we
do? We can't wait for the police. People like them will not say anything when
they go to the police station."
Fade Chen smiled mysteriously and said, "Lily Wei, don't worry. I have my
own plan."
Fade Chen bent down and extracted a few silver needles from his arms. He smiled
and said to the bald man, "Come, you are seriously injured. I am a doctor.
Let me treat you."
Looking at Fade Chen's smiling cheeks, the bald man could not feel that Fade
Chen actually cared for him. Instead, he felt a chill in his heart. He quickly
shook his head and said, "No, I don't need your treatment."
But Fade Chen took his hand and the silver needle fell. He smiled and said,
"Don't hide your illness from the doctor! condition is very serious. If
you don't treat it now, your thing' will be completely disabled in the future.
Then your only option at recovery is to go to Thailand for surgery in
future."
"What, what the hell are you doing?" The bald man was really scared.
At this moment, Fade Chen's silver needle puncture the bald man's lower
abdomen. Suddenly, there was an aching and sore sensation. Then, the intense
pain between his legs actually faded a lot.
This time, the bald man was really confused. Was this guy really so kind as to
treat him?
As soon as this idea came to his mind, he regretted immediately.
Fade Chen gently flicked the silver needle, and a sharp pain came over. The
bald man felt as if his 'lower region' was broken again. He was in so much pain
that he was sweating, his eyes were bulging, and his teeth were bleeding. He
almost fainted.
But just as he was about to faint, Fade Chen gently touched a point on his
neck, and the bald guy immediately woke up to his senses again. The intense
pain in his lower body instantly cleared off and went unnoticeable.
In less than three minutes, the bald man felt as if three years had passed. He
was tortured so badly that his eyes were blank and his whole body was
trembling. He said weakly, "Please, don't continue. I'll say, I'll say
everything."
Hearing this, Fade Chen clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Isn't it
better to be like this earlier? It's also very troublesome for me to perform
acupuncture."
The bald man wanted to cry but had no tears. "Your little trouble is
nothing compared to my pain!"
"Then let's talk about it. It's still a question. Who is it? What is it?
Why?" Fade Chen said briefly.
The bald man didn't dare to hide anything and said, "We are from the Reed
Flower Street. Someone paid us to do it. The man gave us a license plate number
and said that he wanted us to find a way to stall you and stop you from leaving
the city. After it is done, he will give us 100,000 dollars."
"Reed Flower Street?" Fade Chen had never heard of this name.
But Lily Wei was obviously more familiar with it. "Reed Flower Street is a
gathering place for local gangsters. It takes just some money to handle things,
such as asking for debts, beating people up, causing trouble, catching
mistresses, they are just some small players in the underworld."
"Our people in Reed Flower Street are not big bosses, but we are not small
players. The bald man couldn't help but complain in his mind, but he didn't
dare to say it.
Fade Chen was a little surprised. He didn't expect Lily Wei to not just be good
at martial arts, but also know so much about the underworld.
However, what was most important now was to dig out more from the people behind
them. "Who is the one who hired you? When did he give you the news?"
The bald man said, "I don't know who he is. The first time, he sent
someone to pay the deposit to us. It was half a month ago, and then he called
me. But we rarely contacted each other, so we almost thought that he forgot
about this matter. But this morning, at about nine o'clock, he called and
ordered the plan to be carried out."
"Early in the morning!" Fade Chen and Lily Wei looked at each other
with a trace of suspicion in their eyes and tacitly nodded. Lily Wei and Fade
Chen had received the task from Quin Lin at nine o'clock in the morning. At ten
past nine, they departed from the company. The other party was able to send a
message at nine o'clock and informed their whereabouts and license plate
numbers.
Obviously, the information about their task had been leaked, and the other
party was likely to be a member of the company. As for who it was, the two
thought of one person, the target of their investigation this time... Donald
Qin.
After another round of interrogation, the bald man and the others really
couldn't give any extra useful information. Fade Chen knocked them out and
called the ambulance and the traffic police with the bald man's mobile phone.
As for the two people, they did not drive the company's car. After unloading
their belongings from their car, they walked down the highway and went to an
ordinary county road.
Since the other party tried so hard to stop them from going to the factory, it
meant that there was something wrong with the factory, and it must be something
big. Therefore, they became more determined to investigate the factory.
Chapter 47
However, it was obviously not so easy to investigate
directly in the factory now. Their clothes were also untidy. and they had to
disguise themselves.
Fortunately, not far away, there was a village on the side of the road.
Although the environment was rundown, there were still all kinds of clothing
stores.
Half an hour later, the two changed their appearance and went out of the
village on a motorcycle.
Fade Chen was wearing a T-shirt with short sleeves and a pair of jeans. With
his messy hair, he looked like an ordinary young man on the street.
But Lily Wei was different. Although she took off her custom made work suit and
changed into a casual suit and a pair of sneakers, her divine appearance still
made her look dazzling. She didn't seem like a working girl who came out of the
village.
Fade Chen had no choice but to buy Lily Wei a big cap and deliberately lowered
it to cover her beautiful face.
Driving a motorcycle, they drove to the suburban factory. The county highway
was not as good as the highway. Before long, the road was full of potholes and
bumps.
Lily Wei, who was sitting behind Fade Chen had to hold on to Fade Chen's waist
with both hands because of the jolting of the motorcycle. Her body slammed into
Fade Chen's back.
Feeling the soft touch on his back, Fade Chen suddenly felt refreshed and
adjusted the direction of the motorcycle inconspicuously. He specifically went
for the parts of the road with more potholes and bumps, which made the ride
more bumpy.
Not long after, Lily Wei seemed to have noticed something unusual. She pinched
the tender flesh on Fade Chen's waist hard and twisted it hard, saying,
"The motorcycle is so bumpy. You are doing it on purpose, aren't
you?"
"Lily Wei! This road is so bad. I've tried my best!" Fade Chen took a
deep breath and shouted that he had been wronged. He inadvertently adjusted the
direction and dared not to be so unscrupulous.
Half an hour later, the surroundings became lively, and the motorcycle drove
into a small town. The factory of the Fei Enterprise Holdings Inc was built on
the edge of the town, and was the largest enterprise in the town. Almost half
of the town relied on the factory for work.
It was ten forty in the morning. It was working time, so the whole town was not
crowded. There were not many pedestrians on the street.
Fade Chen and Lily Wei came to a restaurant near the factory and ordered a few
dishes. They ate slowly while eyeing on the factory. From the outside, there
was no problem with the factory.
The security guards were guarding the
exit, and all the entrances and exits required the factory's passcards.
Occasionally, there were cargo vehicles coming in and out, which seemed quite
normal.
After observing for a while, Fade Chen lost his interest. He turned all of his
attention to eating and even ordered a few bottles of beer, indulging himself.
Seeing this, Lily Wei couldn't help but glare at Fade Chen and said angrily,
"Are you here to investigate or to travel and eat?"
Fade Chen grabbed Lily Wei's arm and approached her intimately. He whispered,
"Lily Wei, we are now pretending to be a couple but you keep putting on
this serious expression, we don't look like a couple at all."
"Besides, we have been staring at the factory all the time, but we don't
see any anomaly. When the workers rest at lunch time, it will be the best
opportunity to investigate. What we can do now is to eat, drink, and pretend to
be a couple and not show any flaws and be found out by them."
Although Fade Chen was frivolous, Lily Wei had to admit that his words were
quite reasonable. She looked away and her face relaxed a little.
"That's right! Lily Wei, please smile more. It's much more beautiful than
a straight face." Fade Chen smiled and held Lily Wei's arm more
intimately. He gently rubbed his body with her hand and inadvertently took
advantage of Lily Wei.
"Let go of me immediately, or I will beat you up!" Lily Wei shouted
in a low voice.
"Ahem, Lily Wei, I'm acting. It's all for work. Please don't mind
me." Fade Chen quickly let go of Lily Wei's arm and started drinking.
As they were drinking unhurriedly, time passed by.
At noon, a bell rang in the factory. Immediately, a wave of workers came out of
the factory and rushed to the restaurants on both sides of the street.
The restaurant where Fade Chen and Lily Wei was of better quality and the food
was a little expensive. Therefore, the assembly line worker rarely went there.
Occasionally, only higher- ranking managers entered in groups of threes or
fives.
The two listened to their conversations while they were eating - they were
talking about the factory. The production line was not efficient enough, some
workers were causing trouble again, and their boss's requests became harder to
satisfy and so on.
These were of little significance to Fade Chen and Lily Wei. They were about to
leave the restaurant to try to find a way into the factory to find out more
more.
At that instant, a shout came from the door of the restaurant, "Why are
you here again? Didn't I tell you that you are not allowed to come to my restaurant?
Get out of here immediately." It was likely the sound of the owner of the
restaurant.
Then, a young girl's voice rang. "I want to see Director Chang. I saw him
enter here."
"Director Chang is not someone you can meet whenever you want. Now get out
of my way. Do you hear me?" The boss shouted.
The girl said stubbornly, "No, I won't leave. I want to see Director
Chang. I want to ask for my mother's pay."
"Little girl, don't disturb my business. Otherwise, I will stop being
nice." The boss shouted, as if he wanted to take action.
When Fade Chen heard the sound, he frowned and was about to get up but, Lily
Wei stood first with a cold face and strode out of the restaurant.
Fade Chen immediately followed her, and then he saw a young girl in her teens
at the door restaurant. The girl had two braids, disheveled hair, and scruffy
clothes. Obviously, her life was not very good.
However, facing the admonishment of the owner of the restaurant, the little
girl's big black eyes showed no fear but brimmed with determination.
"Get out of my way!" The owner attempted to slap her.
At this moment, Lily Wei snorted and stepped forward to push the boss away. She
bent low in front of the little girl and asked softly, "Little girl,
what's wrong?"
"What's the issue? I." Just as the owner was about to lose his
temper, Fade Chen walked over and moved his wrist. He clenched his fists so
tightly that they creaked. The owner was so scared that he did not dare to
speak another word. He turned his head and walked in.
She looked away and landed her eyes on the little girl. The little girl pointed
to the restaurant and said, "I'm going to see Director Chang and ask him
to pay my mother."
Chapter 48
Looking at the direction pointed by the little girl, Fade Chen saw that
Director Chang was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was bald and had a fat
beer belly. He was happily drinking and chatting with his colleagues.
"Little sister, is Director Chang from this factory?" Lily Wei
pointed to the factory. "He owes your mother money?"
The little girl nodded and said, "He is from the factory. My mother used
to work in the factory, but she got hurt. They didn't pay for the medical
bills, and they didn't pay my mother's wages."
"What?" Lily Wei was so angry that she almost broke into rage, she
wanted to teach Director Chang a lesson.
However, Fade Chen stopped Lily Wei in time and winked at her, saying,
"Let's talk in another place."
Fade Chen leaned down and said to the little girl, "Little girl, where is
your mother? I bet she hasn't eaten yet. Let's go and see her and bring her some
lunch. Is that okay?"
Speaking of lunch, the little girl began salivating. Then she nodded and agreed
to Fade Chen's proposal.
So, the two took the little girl to another restaurant on the side of the road.
They ordered two portions of meat dishes, packed them up, and then walked
toward the little girl's house.
Lily Wei poked Fade Chen and said, "Why won't you let me teach Director
Chang a lesson?"
Fade Chen said in a low voice, "If you took action just now. At most, you
can fire Director Chang and then criticize him. But you will alert the enemy,
which will make the factory heighten their guard."
"What's more, do you think that if Donald Qin is really making some shady
deals, will it only be a matter of violating an employee's salary? I suspect
that there are far more serious matters behind this. So, it's not too late to
go to the little girl's home before continuing the investigation."
"Even if my guess is wrong, I am still a doctor who can treat the little
girl's mother."
After listening to Fade Chen's explanation, Lily Wei blushed slightly. She
didn't expect that as the manager of a company where she had been working for
many years, she was so impulsive when she dealt with trouble. She was not as
considerate as Fade Chen who was just a rookie.
After walking for about fifteen minutes, the two followed the little girl to a
low-rise building. The building looked like an old house built in the seventies
and eighties of the last century. It was dilapidated beyond recognition.
The wall finishes were mottled and cracks appeared on the wall. Even the
railings on the roof half- collapsed. It was possible to believe that the house
could be blown down by a substantial storm.
The small building was dilapidated, but there were more than ten units of
families inhabiting the house. The little girl and her mother lived in a
temporarily small shed behind the small building.
The shed was not big and there was a bed inside. Beside it was a wardrobe
covered with wooden strips which were nailed onto it.
Under the eaves outside the shed, there was a wooden table and two stools,
beside which was a briquette furnace, which was burning a pot of water.
Hearing the sound outside, there was a cough in the room and a woman's voice.
"Little Maggie, you're back!"
The little girl came in with Fade Chen and Lily Wei. She gently called
"Mom" and then put the food beside her mother.
The woman looked at the delicious food, then looked at Fade Chen and Lily Wei
in vigilance and said, "Who are.."
Fade Chen quickly explained with a smile, "Miss, don't get me wrong. We
are tourists passing by. We just met Little Maggie on the street. My wife likes
her very much, so we came to see you." With this, Fade Chen pointed to
Lily Wei.
Lily Wei glanced at Fade Chen, but still smiled and nodded. She said to the
woman, "Miss, are you hungry? Come on, eat up. Otherwise, the food will be
cold in no time."
The woman nodded and began to eat. The little girl Little Maggie also ate with
a small bowl. However, she just ate mouthful and mouthful of rice and rarely
ate the side dishes, especially the meat dishes.
Lily Wei couldn't help but ask why. The little girl said that it was rare to
eat meat dishes, so she had to keep for the next few meals to allow her mother
to recover her health.
The little girl's tender and sincere words made Lily Wei's heart beat faster.
She wanted to hold the little girl in her arms and dote on her.
Fade Chen seized the opportunity to change the topic and said, "Miss, I
heard from Little Maggie that you used to work in the factory nearby, but then
you seemed to have injured yourself, can I know what's going on?"
When he brought up the factory, the woman's eyes suddenly tightened, and she
put down the bowls and chopsticks. Her expression was a little strange.
Fade Chen quickly said, "Miss, I mean no harm. I am a doctor. I want to
ask you did how you injure your leg, so can see if there is a way to cure your
leg." "Can you cure my legs?"
The woman's eyes sparkled with anticipation Fade Chen nodded and said,
"I'm confident, but I need to know the cause to figure out the best way to
treat it."
The woman was so excited that she couldn't even finish her food. She began to
talk about how her legs were broken.
It turned out that the woman's name was Carrie Liu. She was an assembly line
worker in the factory. She was known to have responsible ethics, therefore she
was appointed to be the quality inspector who to oversee the quality of the
final product.
Just half a year ago, Carrie Liu found defective products while inspecting
products, so she picked the defective items out according to the regulations
and reported it to the director of the workshop, Director Chang.
Director Chang praised her, saying that she was earnest and responsible. But
later, within a week, Carrie Liu managed to discover several more batches of
defective products, and the numbers and conditions were much more severe than
before. Therefore, Carrie Liu reported the matter again and reminded the
factory to pay attention to the technical problems in production.
As a result, what she did not expect was that after this incident, Director
Chang removed her from the duty of inspection and sent her to the logistics
department to be a cleaner.
As a result, Carrie Liu was led to even feel more suspicion towards the
company. She secretly gathered some latest products of the company and found
that many of them were defective products.
Carrie Liu now knew that the company had involved in a large-scale
counterfeiting, and that Director Chang was very likely part of it. In a hurry,
she secretly informed the factory director, Michael Huang.
She thought that Director Chang would definitely be exposed under the strict
investigation of Director Huang However, to her surprise, Director Chang was
still untouched. Instead, it was she who was fired by the factory immediately.
On the second night after she was fired, her legs were broken by hooligans who
attacked her out of nowhere.
Carrie Liu was disheartened and was preparing to commit suicide. However, her
sensible daughter Little Maggie stopped her at a critical moment and insisted
on asking Director Chang for her salary last month of work before she was
fired.
Thus, that was what Lily Wei and Fade Chen had witnessed front of the
restaurant earlier.
Chapter 49
After listening to Carrie Liu's narration, Lily Wei almost exploded with anger.
If Fade Chen hadn't stopped her, she would have rushed into the factory to deal
with Director Chang and Director Huang.
The two calmed down and excused themselves to go outside to make plans. They
decided to treat Carrie Liu first, and then go to the factory to settle the
matter.
Back in the room, Fade Chen checked Carrie Liu's pulse to confirm that Carrie
Liu's legs were disabled mainly because of the broken bones. It was indeed
difficult to cure using an ordinary method, but Fade Chen was not ordinary, and
Mountain Tianwu was not an ordinary place.
Fade Chen took out some medicinal ingredients and quickly made a paste to apply
on Carrie Liu's leg. Then he catalyzed the effect of the medicine with silver
needles to speed up the healing process.
It only took a few hours for Carrie Liu to feel her paralyzed legs come back to
life. Vaguely, she felt numbness and itchiness, which were the signs of the
bone's growth and healing.
However, if Carrie Liu were to recover completely, she still needed a few days
to be able to get up and walk.
After the treatment, it was already evening. The investigation which was
assigned to the two had not yet begun, so they could not go back home. In
addition, since the accident happened in the morning, Donald Qin would likely
have had his spies in the company leak information about the incident.
Therefore, Fade Chen called Quin Lin with his private number and updated her of
the situation of the investigation here. At the same time, he reminded Quin Lin
to be careful of Donald Qin and his spies in the company, and also reminded her
to issue a false message stating that Fade Chen and Lily Wei were missing, and
the company could not contact them. The false news was to prevent suspicion by
Donald Qin and others, in case they took any radical actions.
After these arrangements, Lily Wei and Fade Chen came to the town motel. Lily
Wei was about to say that she wanted to take two rooms, but Fade Chen smile at
the waiter beforehand and said, "A large bedroom, which has better sound
insulation."
The receptionist smiled knowingly, opened the room and handed over the room
card. "Young man, young lady, have fun at night. But don't go too far.
Even if you are young, you should pay attention to your health."
"Sure!" Fade Chen smiled and raised his eyebrows, then took Lily
Wei's arm and came to the room.
As soon as he entered the room, Lily Wei's face fell. She shouted to Fade Chen,
"What do you mean? You want to take advantage of me? Let me tell you,
don't you dare to have any intentions, otherwise, I.. will cut you."
While speaking, Lily Wei made a scissors gesture.
Fade Chen waved his hand and said, "Lily Wei, what are you thinking? Am I
that kind of person?"
"Yes!" Lily Wei answered decisively.
Fade Chen was speechless. "Lily Wei, you may have misunderstood me. Let me
tell you, the reason why I booked one room is to prevent us from being
suspected. Think about it, we are disguising as a couple and since we are a
couple, if we were separated to two rooms, wouldn't it cause others to suspect
us?"
"Well.." Lily Wei still looked at Fade Chen with doubt.
Fade Chen said, "Besides, I have to go out tonight. You can sleep alone. I
won't do anything to you."
"Where are you going?" Lily Wei asked.
Fade Chen pointed at the factory and said, "Although I believe in Miss
Carrie Liu's words, her words are still too weak on their own. So, I'm going to
the factory in the evening to see if I can get something useful."
"No, it's too dangerous." Lily Wei refused without hesitation
"If you're worried that they'll run away, I'll call President Lin right
now and ask her to send more people here. We'll act together tomorrow."
"Don't, please don't, that will only alert the enemy." Fade Chen
waved his hand.
"You'd better stay here or I'll make a phone call. There is no third
choice." Lily Wei took out her mobile phone.
Fade Chen seemed to know that whatever he said was useless. He collapsed and
sat down, waved his hand and said with a smile, "Okay, I won't go.
However, I didn't expect that Lily Wei cared so much about me. Do you really
like me and want to be my wife?"
"Bah, you think too much." Lily Wei said coldly.
At this moment, Fade Chen's face suddenly changed. He pointed to the window and
said, "What's that?"
Lily Wei instinctively turned her head and saw nothing. Before she turned her
head, she felt something hit her neck and then she fell asleep.
Fade Chen carefully put Lily Wei on the bed and covered her with a quilt. His
figure flashed and turned into a shadow, leaving the hotel through the window.
The next day, Lily Wei woke up around ten o'clock in the morning. She couldn't
help but stretch herself and felt an unprecedented sense of comfort, this was
the best sleep she had ever had in a while.
At this moment, Fade Chen, who was sitting on the sofa next to Lily Wei, saw
half of Lily Wei's slender and smooth waist and the perfect curve outlined by
her pyjamas. He couldn't help swallowing. He thought to himself that Lily Wei
was really pretty.
Rubbing her head, Lily Wei woke herself up. She remembered that she was
sleeping in the same room with Fade Chen, and the night before, he had made her
faint.
Suddenly, Lily Wei was shocked. She lifted the quilt and looked at it. The
sheet was still white and there were no dodgy traces. She was relieved.
At this time, Fade Chen looked under his own quilt. After seeing a flash of
Lily Wei's pale skin and perfect figure, the sound of swallowing saliva became
louder.
Hearing the sound, Lily Wei turned her head and found Fade Chen, who was almost
drooling, and quickly covered herself with the quilt. "You go out, I want
to change my clothes."
After a while, Lily Wei finally finished washing and dressing up and restored
her cold look. She also thought about what happened last night, looking at Fade
Chen and saying, "Did you go to the factory last night?"
Fade Chen laughed and said, "Lily Wei, as long as you see me standing here
in good condition, you will know that nothing has happened."
"I have a plan. Let's go to the factory today." Fade Chen quickly
changed the subject.
"What plan?" Lily Wei asked.
Fade Chen smiled and said, "It's a secret. You'll know later."
"It's getting late. Let's go downstairs for breakfast. After that we'll
take action." Fade Chen quickly took care of his hair and went downstairs.
When he went to the front desk to check out, it was the same receptionist from
yesterday. When she saw Fade Chen, the old lady couldn't help but be excited
and said, "Young man, I arranged the room with best soundproof quality for
you and you still managed to make such a loud noise. You are really
young!"
After that, the middle-aged woman sighed sadly, as if she was sighing about her
lost youth. After hearing this, Lily Wei's heart was about to explode. When she
fell asleep last night, what did this guy do? Did he do anything to her?
Chapter 50
Two hours later, four people appeared at the gate of the
factory. They pushed a small cart and walked to the gate of the factory.
When the security guard saw the little girl who was pushing the cart, he waved
his hand and scolded, "Little girl, you are here again. Let me tell you,
our director will not see you. Leave immediately."
This time, Little Maggie did not speak. Instead, Fade Chen, dressed raggedly,
stood up and pointed directly at the security guard's nose and began to swear.
"Tell Chang to come out. He broke my sister's legs. I'm going to get even
with him. If he doesn't come out, I'll break his legs."
The security guards were very familiar with Carrie Liu and Little Maggie, but
they didn't know when Carrie Liu had a younger brother. They were stunned.
Seeing that Fade Chen and Carrie Liu were about to make it through the factory
gate, the security guards hurried forward to stop him.
As a result, Fade Chen punched and smashed the iron fence door at the gate of
the factory. Then he shouted fiercely, "Whoever dares come, i'll kill
him!"
This time, the security guards did not dare to move. They did not intend to
risk their lives in front of such a ruthless man. After all, their salary was
less than 2,000 a month, it was not worth it to risk their lives. They quickly
squeezed out a smile and tried to please him. "Sir, sir, please calm down,
this way please. I'll call Director Chang right away."
It had to be said that in this world, being nice and easy going will only get
oneself exploited and bullied. Carrie Liu had been driven out crying before.
Now Fade Chen was being unreasonable and cruel, but he was being welcomed
respectfully.
Along with Carrie Liu, they arrived at the guest room of the factory. About ten
minutes later, Director Chang, with his hands behind his back and an unhappy
expression on his face, walked in with a frown.
As soon as he walked in, Director Chang glanced at Carrie Liu disdainfully and
then looked at Fade Chen, saying, "Are you her brother? What can I do for
you?"
Fade Chen immediately said, "My sister was a hard worker, she found out
the mistakes that occurred in the production line. You didn't reward her,
instead you fired her and even broke her legs. You must give my sister an
explanation and compensation for this.
Director Chang frowned and said, "I don't understand what she told you.
But I am telling you, Carrie Liu was fired because of her own attitude. As for
being hit by hooligans, we know nothing about it at all."
"Don't try to blackmail me. You can leave now!" Director Chang waved
his hand and was ready to drive them away.
Fade Chen lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Chang, I know that there is
something shady happening in your factory. My sister discovered that your
company had been producing fake products. Just wait for the police to
come."
Director Chang raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully, "If you want to
call the police, then go ahead. Let's see what the police finds out."
After that, Director Chang put his hands behind his back, whistling while
preparing to leave.
But at this moment, Fade Chen suddenly took out a small bottle and cell phone
and said, "Since you don't care, I will give these things to the
police."
When Director Chang heard the words, he turned his head and his eyes
immediately became straight, because the bottle was the latest product from the
factory. As for the picture taken on the mobile phone, it was the scene which
filmed the workers in the process of production. Among them, several workers
replaced the raw materials and their dialogue about counterfeiting the product
was completely recorded.
Immediately, the veins on Director Chang's forehead protruded and he shouted,
"Where did you get these?"
"Well, you don't need to know that. I just want my sister to get the
compensation she deserves." Fade Chen was ready to blackmail.
Director Chang glanced at the security guard outside and turned his eyes
slightly to suppress the intention to attack him directly. He smiled and said,
"Well, we can talk about this matter. However, I need to ask Director
Huang for instructions. Please wait a moment."
"Okay but hurry up." Fade Chen shouted.
Director Chang immediately turned around and went out with a stern look in his
eyes. He whispered to the security guard, "Come on, gather all the
security guards here." Then he quickly ran to Director Huang's office.
In the guest room, Lily Wei glared at Fade Chen and said, "Did you get
these from the factory last night?"
Fade Chen did not answer, all up to you now."
But said to Lily Wei, "Manager, it's Shortly after, Director Chang
followed a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes. The man was Michael
Huang, the director of the factory.
As soon as Michael Huang came in, he stared at Fade Chen and said, "Tell me,
how much do you want?"
Fade Chen was not in a hurry at the moment. He said, "Director Huang,
let's put the compensation aside for now. The factory fired her because she
found out the counterfeiting of products, you owe my sister an
explanation!"
Michael Huang did not answer him, but threatened, "Boy, don't talk of
nonsense. Give me a number and leave this stuff behind. This is your best
option."
"Since Director Huang wants me to set a price, then I'll tell you."
Fade Chen said, "In order to compensate for my sister, 200,000 dollars.
Then, you stop all the counterfeiting and go to the police station to turn
yourself in."
When he heard the 200,000 dollars, Michael Huang nodded slightly. But when he
heard the latter half of the sentence, his face suddenly changed and his face
darkened.
Director Chang exclaimed, "Boy, are you kidding?"
His face darkened and he said, "Boy, don't try to challenge me."
After that, he raised his right hand. Suddenly, noise came from outside of the
guest room, and more than 30 security guards gathered around him.
Huang sneered and said, "Hand the items over and I'll spare your
life."
"Let me tell you, don't you think about fighting me. I have also uploaded
these videos beyond these walls. If anything happens to us here, the videos
will be sent to the Enterprise Holdings Inc and the police station. At that
time, you are all finished." Fade Chen said nervously.
Michael Huang said with an evil smile, "Boy, do you think those things in
your hand is so important? Let me tell you, even if you send it out, it will be
useless."
Director Chang smiled and said, "Our factory director and the police chief
are sworn brothers. Plus, there are people in the enterprise to protect us.
What you have in your hands are useless."
Fade Chen's face seemed to be a little flustered. He said, "I don't
believe it. Fei Enterprise Holdings Inc is such an established company, they
won't let go of this matter. I'm going to report it."
Michael Huang smiled and said, "Do you think that I was the only one in
this deal? Do you think that I can do it without the permission of high-level
officials? Boy, think about it yourself. The society is much more complicated
than you think.
Fade Chen looked incredulous and said in panic, "You, you mean this is the
order of the president of the company?"
Chapter 51
"Yes, you are smart. These were orders from President
Lin. So, even if you report it to the company, nothing will come out of
it!" Michael Huang smiled and said, "Boy, hand over those now, and I
can let you go."
Fade Chen seemed to have lost his bearings and did not know what to say in
response.
At this moment, the woman in a large hat behind Fade Chen was trembling in
anger. She shouted, "Michael Huang, how dare you speak such nonsense and
spread slander about President Lin? Aren't you afraid of being found out by the
company?"
Michael Huang frowned and said, "Who are you? What nonsense are you
talking about?"
Lily Wei suddenly lifted her hat, glared at him and shouted, "Huang
Zhiqiang, look at who I am!"
Looking at the beautiful face under the wide hat, Director Chang was surprised,
and he said with a smile on his face, "I didn't expect that there would be
such a beauty here. Director Huang, shall we play.."
However, before Director Chang could finish speaking, he saw Michael Huang's
look of disbelief. Huang Zhiqiang looked at the woman and his voice trembled.
"Manager, Manager Wei? Why, why are you here?"
"If I were not here, how would I discover the fraud that you are
committing behind my back?" Lily Wei said angrily.
Before Director Chang came to his senses, he asked in a low voice,
"Director Huang, who is this woman?"
Huang Factory Director slapped Director Chang in the face and shouted,
"Shut up. She is the head of our human resources department, Lily Wei,
Manager Wei."
"What!" Director Chang was shocked and terrified. He knew that
Manager Wei was not only the head of the human resources department, but she
was also President Lin's closest friend. The two ladies had a close relationship.
When he thought of the foul words he had just said to her, Director Chang
trembled. "Manager Wei, I, I was just.."
Lily Wei shouted coldly, "Michael Huang, I've already discovered what
you've done. Stop whatever you're doing right now. Return to the company
headquarters and admit your mistakes. We shall let President Lin decide what to
do with you."
Michael Huang's expression changed as he said, "Manager Wei, you may have
misunderstood. I didn't mean that. I..."
Huang Zhiqiang still wanted to explain, but Wei Lin did not give him a chance.
She quickly took out her mobile phone and clicked on a recording she made,
saying, "I have recorded all the words you have just said. Don't try to
explain anything."
"This.." Michael's eyes twitched and his expression froze.
"Let's go!" Lily snorted. She beckoned for Maggie and and Carrie to
follow her, ready to leave.
The muscles on Michael's s face kept trembling. Looking at Lily Wei, who was
about to leave, he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Manager Wei, why are
you rushing to leave? Have a seat for a while. Let's us treat you to a
meal."
While speaking. Michael waved his hand and more than 30 security guards
surrounded them, they all looked extremely fierce.
Seeing this, Lily's heart skipped a beat, but her expression remained stern.
She shouted, "Michael Huang, do you want to attack me?"
Michael Huang now had nothing to lose, so he was not worried at her words. He
smiled and said, "Manager Wei, what are you talking about? How can I do
anything to you? just hope that you can put down everything you have in your
hands now.
"What if I won't?" Wei Lin said toughly.
Michael's eyes twitched and he said coldly, "Then I can't guarantee what
will happen next. The security guards in our factory don't know of any Manager
Wei. They will only catch thieves who break into the factory."
Director Chang immediately echoed this and threatened, "Manager Wei, you
are so beautiful. If something happens to you, it won't be good."
"You." Even though Lily Wei was a strong woman, she couldn't help but
tremble in fear.
Seeing this, Michael waved his hand. The security guards had already entered
the lobby. With a sneer his lips, he said, "Manager Wei, there are things
that everyone should keep to themselves. Why should we expose them? Besides,
I'm just a lowly factory director. I can't make the decisions for some things.
These were the doings of senior executives."
At this moment, little Maggie stood out indignantly in front of Lily Wei. She
shouted in her delicate voice, "You are not allowed to hurt Sister
Wei."
Looking at the girl's firm expression, Lily Wei could not but feel warmth in
her heart. Lily glared at Michael Huang and said, "Michael Huang, if you
dare touch me, I will definitely make you regret it."
Michael's expression turned cold. He snorted and said, "Manager Wei, since
you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for being rude."
"Do it, grab those things." Michael shouted. The security guards
under his command immediately rushed over like wolves and tigers.
At this moment, Fade Chen, who seemed to be scared silly, suddenly said
casually, "Since you guys want to fight, why haven't you asked me?"
"Kill that guy!" Director Chang shouted with a fierce look. A
security guard waved his baton at Fade Chen's head.
The little Maggie immediately shouted, "Brother Chen, be careful!"
Fade Chen turned his head and smiled at the little girl, saying, "Maggie,
don't worry. Let's see how I beat them up."
"Fool!" Upon hearing this, Michael Huang curled his lip and smiled
disdainfully. "Just do it! It'll be fine as long as no one dies"
The security guards grinned ferociously and rushed over at Fade Chen. At the
same moment, Fade moved and punched directly at the swinging baton.
With a crunch, the sturdy baton was broken. The strong force rebounded, and the
flesh between the thumb and the forefinger of the security guard's hand split
open and bleed.
"This boy..." Before the security guard could exclaim, Fade Chen had
turned into a shadow and rushed into the centre of the room, and was surrounded
by more than 30 security guards.
"Crack!"
Bang, bang, bang! Within three minutes, more than 30 security guards fell to
the ground with bloody noses and swollen faces. They waited and completely lost
their fighting spirit.
Fade clapped his hands, he looked very relaxed. There was not even a drop of
sweat on his forehead.
"How, how could this be possible?" Michael Huang and Director Chang
were stunned by what they saw. They suddenly came to their senses and prepared
to run away.
But then Fade Chen snorted and kicked at a baton on the ground that was broken
into half. The two sticks hit the backs of Michael Huang and Director Chang and
knocked them to the ground.
Then, Fade Chen walked over calmly and carried them over.
Sitting on a chair, Fade said coldly, "Tell me the truth to anything we
ask, or else... Humph!"
Fade Chen shouted and slammed his palm on the metal table. A clear palm print
appeared on the table.
The two were so scared that they shivered and almost urinated in their pants.
They nodded and said, "We'll tell you everthing!"
Chapter 52
Lily Wei looked at both of them coldly and questioned them,
"Tell me, when did the factory start to produce counterfeit products? How
did you do it? How many people knew about it? Where are the goods being
produced? Tell me everything."
At this moment, the two of them did not dare try any tricks. They quickly told
her the whole story.
What made Lily Wei slightly relieved was that the counterfeit operations had
not gone on for very long. It had just begun half a month ago, and there were
not too many products produced. The products were still stored in the factory
warehouse.
Sure enough, these operations were executed under the orders of Secretary Qin,
the company secretary, who was in a higher position than she was. He had
colluded with some employees in Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc and operated the
counterfeit operations in the factory. He even gave 90% of the profit to
Michael Huang and Director Chang, not taking much for himself.
Such a strange behavior made Fade and Lily feel odd. After all, Secretary Qin
spent so much energy and took on tremendous risks, but in the end, he gave most
of the profits to others. What was his true intention?
As they thought about it, Fade Chen thought of the first time when he met Quin
Lin. Donald Qin had been involved in the incident when Howard Zhang drugged
Quin Lin.
Thinking of this, Fade Chen felt a little uneasy. He called Quin Lin on the
phone and asked about Donald's whereabouts.
Quin Lin had also paid attention to Donald's actions. She told Fade Chen that
Donald had no unusual actions. Today, Donald went out with a businessman to
talk about the company's latest products. This is because Fei Enterprises
Holdings Inc would be delivering some of the latest products to the warehouse
of the other party
"Our latest products!" Hearing this, Fade Chen felt that something
was wrong and hung up the phone. He shouted at Michael Huang, "Are you
sure that the products you faked are still in the warehouse?"
Michael nodded. "It's all here! Donald hasn't ordered us to do anything
about it. We're all a little confused. Why didn't he ask us to transport what
we've produced?"
"Let's go and take a look at the warehouse!" Fade said seriously.
Immediately, they went to the warehouse. But when Michael saw that there was
obviously a pile of goods missing from the warehouse, he was also shocked. He
immediately called the administrator to inquire about it and soon confirmed
that the previous day, Secretary Qin had privately issued an order and took out
a batch of goods.
"Oh no, is the batch of goods bound for the shopping mall?" Fade had
a bad feeling in his heart. He quickly called Quin Lin again.
Soon, Quin Lin confirmed that the goods that were delivered to the shopping
mall were delivered from the warehouse yesterday.
Suddenly, Fade and Lily realized the seriousness of the matter. If this batch
of fake products were to be sold to customers, it would greatly affect the
image and reputation of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc.
Moreover, on the other hand, the cooperation between the shopping mall and Fei
Enterprises Holdings Inc would definitely be cut off. After all, this
cooperation was with the famous Galaxy Plaza, a large scale and high end mall
in the province. Many cosmetic brands did not even have the opportunity to
enter Galaxy Plaza at all.
Lily Wei and Fade Chen were shocked. They quickly contacted Quin Lin and
briefly told her what had happened here. Quin immediately issued an order to
stop the batch of products from entering Galaxy Plaza.
Quin understood the seriousness of the matter, so she immediately dismissed her
work and rushed over.
Fade Chen and Lily Wei also knew that things could not be delayed, so they
called the company's special unit to handle the things at the warehouse. At the
same time, after making arrangements for Carrie Liu and little Maggie, they
immediately rushed back to the city.
In less than an hour, Fade Chen and Lily Wei arrived at Galaxy Plaza.
As a well-known shopping mall in the province, Galaxy Plaza was crowded with people
and lined with countless stores.
At the massive cosmetics department, with a floor space of more than a hundred
meters on the second floor, Quin Lin looked at Donald Qin sternly and said,
"Donald Qin, withdraw all the products on the counter immediately."
At this time, faced with Quin Lin's order, Donald smiled and said faintly.
"President Lin, today is a good day for our products to move into Galaxy
Plaza. If we temporarily cancel our products, I'm afraid it will have a bad
influence on our company."
"This is an order. Take down all the goods immediately," Quin Lin
ordered.
But the staff at the counter looked at Donald and saw that he didn't respond.
So, they didn't dare move at all.
Seeing this, Quin Lin felt that things were actually worse than she thought.
At this time, Donald walked out with a smile and said, "Manager Xu, Mr.
Zhang, you are here. Welcome."
Two men came from outside the counter. One of the men was in his twenties, and
he was Howard Zhang. Beside Howard was a fat middle-aged man in his forties. He
was Manager Xu, the person in charge of Galaxy Plaza here in Bay City.
Enduring the strong unease in her heart, Quin Lin greeted the men with a smile
and said, "Manager Xu, it's really a great honor for us from Fei
Enterprises Holdings Inc to see you here!"
As for Howard Zhang, Quin didn't want to greet him at all.
Howard's expression turned slightly cold, and he gently poked at the overweight
Manager Xu. Manager Xu suddenly smiled and said, "It's our honor that
President Lin's company's product had been stationed at Galaxy Plaza. I
happened to bump into Mr. Zhang, so we came here to have a look."
"Manager Xu, you're welcome. Why don't we look for a cafe and have a
chat?" Quin Lin smiled and tried to bring them away.
But at this moment, Manager Xu glanced at Donald Qin, then wave hand and said
with a smile, "President Lin, I'm really sorry. I have something else to
do today, so I will have coffee with you another time."
"Oh, what will you be busy with, Manager Xu?" Quin Lin asked.
Manager Xu sighed and said, "Speaking of which, it is a temporary task assigned
by my superiors. We need to strictly check the quality of all products in the
shopping mall. They are asking me do a spot-check and audit."
"I have come to the Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc counter to do an
inspection. President Lin, do you mind?" Manager Xu clapped his hands and
five or six people in white coats and holding various instruments walked out
from behind him. At a glance, they seemed like professional audit personnel.
Quin Lin's heart skipped a beat and she was horrified. How could there be such
a coincidence? Her factory products had just gone wrong and were sent here. And
at the same time, Galaxy Plaza was going to conduct a quality audit. Obviously,
this was a conspiracy.
President Lin, is there a problem?" Manager Xu asked when he saw that Quin
Lin did not respond.
Before Quin Lin could open her mouth, Donald Qin spoke with a welcoming voice
to Manager Xu and the supervisors, "Of course, there is no problem. The
quality of products from Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc has always been
guaranteed. Manager Xu, you may just check at random."
While speaking, Donald quickly picked up a bottle of face moisturizer and
handed it to the audit personnel.
Quin could clearly recognize that the moisturizer was a counterfeit product
that had just been transferred yesterday.
Chapter 53
"This is our company's best product Manager Xu, you can
check it however you want." Quin Lin suppressed the throbbing in her
heart, picked up another product and handed it over to the testing staff in
hopes to replace the fake product.
But Edward Xu was obviously prepared. He took the product that Quin Lin passed
over and put it down. Then, he continued checking the bottle of moisturizer.
Looking at their skillful movements, it seemed that they had practiced it
countless times.
Quin Lin was anxious and she tried to find a way to solve the problem. At this
moment, Howard Zhang approached her with a smile and said, "President Lin,
why are you not looking well? Today's a great day for Fei Enterprises Holdings
Inc's product to enter Galaxy Plaza!"
"I'm fine Mr. Zhang, you are just overthinking." Quin Lin said
without emotion. Looking at the testing staff's actions, she became more and
more anxious.
Soon, the testing staff was about to put some test samples into a machine to get
the final result. At this moment, Quin Lin's heart almost jumped out of her
throat.
If the test results did not qualify the minimum threshold, the consequences
would be unimaginable. Quin Lin was extremely nervous, but there was nothing
she could think of to help the situation.
Suddenly, a burst of laughter came. "President Lin, we are here!"
Then, Quin Lin saw Fade Chen and Lily Wei. Quin Lin's eyes lit up and she
wanted to explain about the current situation. Fade Chen took a quick look at the
situation and already knew what was going on.
So, Fade Chen stepped forward and walked toward the testing staff, saying,
"Are you conducting a test? I'm here to learn."
However, the other party was obviously prepared. Donald Qin's face darkened. He
reached out to stop Fade Chen and said, "Doctor Chen, the professionals
are working now. Please don't disturb their work."
Manager Xu also asked, "President Lin, who is this?"
Quin Lin didn't know how to explain, so she could only look at Fade Chen. But
Fade Chen was looking at the testing staff as he sighed softly. He seemed
unhappy for not being able to get close to study the test. Then, Fade Chen put
his hands in his pocket and walked away.
Seeing this, Donald Qin and Howard Zhang sneered triumphantly.
Quin Lin and Lily Wei looked at Fade Chen anxiously.
Fade Chen winked at the two women and then whispered, "Don't worry, the
test results will be fine."
"Really? What did you do?" The two women looked at Fade Chen with
doubts and curiosity, because Fade Chen couldn't even get close to the testing
staff earlier. What could he possibly do to change the test results?
Just as the two women were feeling uneasy, the testing staff had put the test
samples into the machine. The machine which was connected to a printer and made
a noise, and then it printed out the test results immediately.
Howard Zhang smiled and said to Quin Lin, "You're a little nervous,
President Lin. Is there something wrong with the product?"
Before Quin Lin could speak, Donald Qin shouted with indignation, "How can
there be any problem with Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc's cosmetics? We have
always been responsible to out consumers, so there will be no problems at
all."
Donald Qin's words didn't seem to defend himself. Instead, his words seemed to
have attracted all surrounding customers. Sure enough, when the customers heard
the commotion here, they rushed over and looked as if they were watching a
scene of bustle.
Seeing this, the smiles on Howard Zhang and Donald Qin's faces deepened. Quin
Lin became more worried.
Right at this moment, the testing staff took the results from the printer and
came over. "The test results for Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc's
moisturizer is out."
Howard Zhang suddenly laughed and said, "Now that the result is out, let's
announce it to everyone."
"Yes, announce it!"
"Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc always had a good reputation I believe there
will be no problem."
"That's not necessarily true. Who can say for sure about any company
nowadays?"
The crowd began discussing.
Donald Qin and Howard Zhang glanced at Edward Xu. Then Edward Xu said, "In
that case, let's announce the result here. After all, this is the product that
has entered Galaxy Plaza. We have to be responsible towards our
customers."
All eyes were on the testing staff.
The testing staff looked at the result in surprise, as if they had encountered
something unbelievable.
Seeing this, Howard Zhang and Qin Dong's smiled. They urged, "Show us the
result!"
Quin Lin looked nervous and her body trembled slightly. Fade Chen held Quin
Lin's hand and pinched it gently. He smiled and said, "Don't worry,
nothing will go wrong."
Then, the testing staff said, "Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc's moisturizers
is mainly tested for 12 indicators. The test result shows that six of the
indicators are in line with the national standard whereas the other six are
extremely not in line with the national standard."
As soon as the testing staff said that, the scene became chaotic.
Howard Zhang immediately said, "President Lin, I certainly did not expect
that your product to be not in line with the standard."
Edward Xu shouted, "President Lin, you must give us all an explanation
about this matter. Galaxy Plaza will definitely not allow unqualified products
to enter."
Donald Qin seemed to be eager in stirring up more trouble. He shouted
exaggeratedly, "It's impossible. How can Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc's
product not meet the standard? Did you make a mistake?"
The crowd was in chaos, and many people began to shout.
Quin Lin's body trembled and she almost fell to the ground, Her heart was cold.
"It's over, it's all over."
But at this moment, the testing staff suddenly raised his voice and said
loudly, "No, that's not what I meant!"
"Ah, what do you mean?" Everyone asked in confusion.
The testing staff said, "The other six indicators that I said were not in
line with the national standard was actually way beyond the national standard.
The numbers are several times more than that of the national standard. For
example, the amount of collagen and amino acid in the cosmetics are more than
double compared to other international top brand cosmetics. So, what I meant is
that this moisturizer is actually better than the others."
When the testing staff finished speaking, all the people at the scene suddenly
quieted down as they have not yet come to their senses. Suddenly, then the
crowd went crazy.
"Wow, such a good result. I want to buy it."
"Give me five of each, with mid-grade prices and better effects than
international top brands. It's totally worth it."
"Me too. Give me ten of these."
Except for Fade Chen, almost no one had expected this result. All of them were
stunned by the results. Quin Lin and Lily Wei's faces turned into endless joy.
They couldn't help but look at Fade Chen curiously.
On the other hand, Donald Qin and Howard Zhang were full of doubts. They glared
at Fade Chen, then threw a look at Edward Xu.
Chapter 54
Manager Edward Xu glanced at the examiner and then shook his
head gently at Howard Zhang and Donald Qin.
Although Edward Xu was the person in charge of Galaxy Plaza in Bay City, the
testing staff had always been directly assigned by the headquarters of the
company. Edward Xu did not have the ability to intervene, so he could not
directly order them to fake the result.
Seeing that it was completely different from what he had expected, Donald Qin
frowned in distress. Then his eyes lit up. Donald Qin seemed to have thought of
something and told Edward Xu about it.
Edward Xu nodded and then said to the testing staff, "Guys, since the data
is so unusual, perhaps this bottle of moisturizer has some issues. Please check
a few more bottles to avoid inaccurate results."
The testing staff nodded. Donald Qin quickly handed over a few bottles of
moisturizer and then Watched the testing staff closely for fear of any
accidents.
This time, Quin Lin and Lily Wei could not help but become nervous again. After
all, under normal circumstances, they knew that there would be no quality
problems in company. But they also knew that the quality of the products would
not have improved dramatically like the test result just now. Fade Chen must
have used some tricks secretly.
So, the two women looked at Fade Chen closely. Fade Chen yawned quietly,
clapped his hand on his mouth, and then breathed out a few breaths.
The two women looked at his movements in confusion. Fade Chen lowered his head
and quietly spread out his palm in front of them. They immediately saw that
there was some white powder in Fade Chen's palm.
"This is.." Both of them looked surprised and curious.
Fade Chen shook his head gently, indicating that it was not the right time to
explain it now. In fact, when he sneaked into the factory the previous night,
he had figured out the problems in the products.
Today, when Fade Chen learned that the products had been delivered to the mall,
he expected that there would be problems, so he thought of a solution in
advance. He prepared these medicinal powder to cover the shortage caused by the
forging of the products.
The way Fade Chen sighed and exhaled earlier was to blow onto the powder into
the test sample. After all, with Fade Chen's strength, it was easy for him to
control this.
On the testing staffs end, three more samples were tested. The final result was
still the same as the first, and the result was very good.
Hearing this, the customers around were even more excited. They almost flooded
the counter and rushed in to buy the moisturizers. However, Quin Lin knew that
there was something wrong with the products, so she did not sell it to the
public, using the excuse that the products are for display only".
As for Donald Qin and Howard Zhang, after seeing this result, they were
extremely unhappy.
Quin Lin regained her composure at this moment. With a faint smile on her lips,
she said to Edward Xu, "Manager Xu, the test result has come out. Our
products are qualified. Manager Xu, don't you need to go to other counters for
the test?"
The corner of Edwards mouth twitched, and he was ready to take his men away.
However, since Howard Zhang and Donald Qin had prepared this plan for such a
long time, they would not want to see it fail. A sharp light flashed in his
eyes, Donald Qin walked to Edward Xu and whispered something in his ear.
Edward Xu's face changed, but in the end, he nodded and said to Quin Lin,
"President Lin, although the result of the product was in line with the
national standards, but some of the data are ridiculously high, they were far
beyond the data range of products of the same kind. I want to ask you, what's
the reason behind it?"
Quin Lin raised her eyebrows as she noticed his intention. She said, "This
is a new product. Our company has spent a lot of efforts in its development and
the effects of the product improved. Is there anything wrong with it?"
Manager Edward Xu said, "It's not that it's inappropriate. It's just that
the data is too high. We want to check it further in case it was formulated
with other unknown substances. So, President Lin, I think you need to
temporarily close down your counter.
"Manager Xu, what do you mean?" Quin Lin was angry. "Is there
any problem with our products being too good?"
Edward Xu shook his head and said, "You misunderstood me. I just want to
further examination. If there is no problem at that time, I will personally
apologize to you, President Lin."
Quin Lin's face turned livid. "Manager Xu, what you plan to do is not the
intentions of the top management in Galaxy Plaza, isn't it? If you insist on
closing our counter, I'm going to pay a visit to the Galaxy Plaza's top
management."
Hearing this, Edward Xu's expression turned cold. "President Lin, are
threatening me? I've inspected the goods according to the regulations, but you
are trying your best to stop me. Are you guilty of anything?" Edward said.
"I think you know better who is
guilty here." Quin Lin said coldly.
"Good, very good. President Lin, you are very eloquent." Edward Xu
said angrily, "However, this Galaxy Plaza is my territory. I can shut down
your counter whenever I want."
"Guards, close this counter, now!" Edward waved his hand and was
ready to do things the hard way.
Quin Lin became anxious when she heard this. Donald Qin and Howard Zhang looked
as if they were watching a show.
Right at the time, Fade Chen stood up and stepped forward. He said to Edward,
"Hey, Xu, does President Wu know anything about what you are doing here in
Galaxy Plaza?"
"Of course I have permission from the headquarters for what I am
doing." Edward Xu frowned and glared at Fade Chen.
"Really? I don't think so." Fade Chen snorted. He took out his mobile
phone, dialed John Wu's number, and said, "Mr. Wu, it's me, Fade. Last
time you mentioned that your son Charles is opening a shopping mall in the
provincial capital. I want to ask him for a favor. Could you please introduce
him to me?"
"Mr. Wu? Our President Wu's father!" Edward Xu's face changed when he
thought of who Mr. Wu was. But his face showed a look of disbelief. "Who
do you think you are? Do you really know President Wu's father? Don't joke
around. You're just pretending."
At the side, Donald Qin and Howard Zhang's faces changed. Because of what
happened at last banquet, they knew that Fade Chen had won Mr. Wu's favor. They
couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. They could only hope that Mr. Wu had
just behaved on the spur of the moment at that time and didn't really value
Fade Chen that much.
After chatting with Mr. Wu, Fade Chen quickly dialed another number and said,
"Hello President Wu. I'm Fade. encountered some problems in Bay City with
a manager from your company, he is Edward Xu, now..."
"Nice try. Go on!" Edward Xu said disdainfully.
But just as Fade Chen hung up the phone, Edward Xu felt a vibration at his
waist and his cell phone rang.
He took out his mobile phone and looked at the caller's name. He was shocked
and glanced at Fade Chen in horror. Then he picked up the phone with trembling
hands. "President Wu, I'm Edward Xu. Why.."
Before Edward could finish his words, a scolding came from the other end of the
phone, "Edward Xu, what's wrong with you? I let you take charge of the
mall at Bay City, but you just mess around like this."
Chapter 55
"President Wu, I, I just... Edward Xu tried to explain.
But the roar on the other side of the phone burst out like a volcano, "I
don't care what benefit did you get by doing this, and I don't care what you
are thinking. Now, apologize immediately to Mr. Chen. Then pack up your things
and get out of here. You know the consequences if you don't do as I say."
Edward Xu's whole body trembled, and he looked towards Howard Zhang for help.
Howard frowned slightly and approached him. He said into the phone,
"Manager Wu, I am Howard Zhang. Recently, I accompanied my father to the
provincial capital and I was lucky to meet you. This matter, think it is a big
misunderstanding, I..."
Before Howard Zhang could finish, Charles Wu's cold voice came from the other
end of the phone. "Howard, I don't care what you think. I only warn you to
not get involved in my company. Otherwise, get your father to speak to
me."
Then, Charles Wu hung up the phone.
Howard Zhang's face was livid, and Edward Xu grew paler. Then he walked over to
Fade Chen reluctantly, bowed down and said, "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, it's my
fault."
"Do you think it's enough with just an apology?" Fade Chen snorted.
Then Edward Xu knelt down hastily in front of Fade Chen and kowtowed for mercy,
"Mr. Chen, please forgive me. I was wrong.
I really know I was wrong." Fade Chen glanced at Quin Lin and asked in a
low voice, "Dear, will this do?"
Quin Lin rolled her eyes at Fade Chen and whispered, "Just let him go. I
don't want to see him any longer."
Fade Chen nodded, kicked Edward Xu to the ground and said, "Get lost,
don't let me see you again."
Edward Xu as relieved and scrambled away.
Howard Zhang's face turned pale, he turned around and left. On the other side,
Donald Qin, who was equally livid, sneaked into the crowd and was ready to
escape.
But just as he was about to escape, a voice rang out. "Secretary Qin,
where are you going?"
Donald Qin turned his head and saw Fade Chen's evil smile. He couldn't help but
shiver and run away.
"No way!" Fade Chen snorted, picked up a bottle of moisturizer, and
threw it directly at him.
Suddenly, Donald Qin was hit in the back and fell forward suddenly. He fell
hard on the smooth ground.
Fade Chen slowly walked over and picked up Donald Qin, his mouth was full of
blood. He walked back towards the counter and threw him in front of Quin Lin.
"President Lin, I'm just.." Donald Qin still wanted to argue.
Quin Lin said coldly, "Michael Huang has confessed everthing."
"Well." Donald Qin's expression suddenly froze. He finally knew why
Fade Chen could solve the problem of the test earlier.
"Tell me, when did you partner up with Howard Zhang? Who else in the
company works for you?' Quin Lin asked coldly.
Donald Qin rolled his eyes, as if he was thinking hard.
But at this moment, Fade Chen stepped forward, took out a silver needle, and
gently stabbed on Donald Qin's fingertip. Fade didn't move much, however, the
pain he brought made Donald Qin's whole body twitch, and he almost fainted.
"I warn you, you'd better tell the truth! Otherwise, it won't be just one
silver needle. I will insert the needles in all of your fingers and toes."
Listening to Fade Chen's words, Donald Qin shuddered and couldn't help
trembling. Then he told Fade Chen everything.
It turned out that the whole incident was related to the marriage engagement
between Quin Lin and Howard Zhang.
Since Quin Lin had been cheated by her brother Jeremy Lin to sign the
engagement agreement, Jeremy Lin and Howard Zhang had been forcing Quin Lin to
submit to it.
As part of the top management of the company and an important company
secretary, Donald Qin naturally became the pawn in their plan. When Jeremy Lin
promised him that he would give him 10% of the shares after he inherits Fei
Enterprises Holdings Inc, Donald Qin was tempted and agreed to cooperate with
them.
Therefore, he revealed a lot of information about Quin Lin's work life and
private life to them in secret.
It was Donald Qin who secretly leaked the news that Quin Lin was drugged, so
Howard Zhang could prepare it in advance.
As for the counterfeit incident this time, it happened on the spur of the
moment. The reason was because Jeremy Lin suddenly found that his sister was
married to Fade Chen.
So, after a discussion, the three of them made a plan to force Quin Lin to submit
to their plan. So they decided on a plan between Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc
and Galaxy Plaza. They planned to force Quin Lin to marry Howard Zhang by using
the issue of product quality.
After discovering this conspiracy, Quin Lin's face fell. She didn't expect her
biological brother, and her most trusted employee at the company, to plot
against her for the sake of money.
Fade Chen gently comforted Quin Lin and was ready to hand Donald Qin over to
the police. After all, selling internal business information of the company and
manufacturing fake products were already serious crimes.
Just before he handed him over, Fade Chen suddenly thought of something and
asked, "Where did you get the Guanyin Pill that you drugged Quin Lin
with?"
"Guanyin Pill?" Donald Qin was confused. Obviously, he did not know
the name of the medicine. But he still replied, "I don't know what the
medicine was called. It was given to me by Howard Zhang. And I heard that he
got it from the young master of Wan family."
Upon hearing this, Quin Lin's expression changed dramatically and turned
solemn. She turned to Donald Qin and asked, "Are you referring to Jackson
Wang from the Wan's family?"
Donald Qin nodded and said, "I've seen Howard meeting Jackson several
times.
Immediately. Quin Lin's face darkened.
Chen Fei was full of doubts and said, "Is this Jackson Wan very
powerful?"
Quin Lin nodded solemnly and said, "There are two major forces in the
underground world, who control Bay City Amongst them, the power in the North
Bay City is the Long Enterprise comprising of Uncle Long and Jimmy Wei, and the
Wan family, who opposes Uncle Long."
Fade Chen knew the power of the Long Enterprise and Uncle Long. At this moment,
when he heard both their names, he naturally became alert.
Quin Lin continued in a low voice, The Wan family was not involved much in
business. In terms of assets, they are not very rich in Bay City."
"But the Wan family is a family of martial arts. They started to practice
martial arts from a hundred years ago. The current leader of the Wan family,
Jackie Wan, is said to be on par with Uncle Long and may even be stronger.
What's more, Jacky Wan's father, who has retired for many years, is more
powerful than Uncle Long. Therefore, some people say that the Wan family in
South Bay City is stronger than Uncle Long of North Bay City." Quin Lin
said.
"And the Young Master Wan, Jackson Wang, is the only son of the current
Master of the Wan family, Jackie Wan."
Chapter 56
After saying all of that, Quin Lin's pretty face turned
pale, and her face was full of worry. With Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc's
current standing, it would mean enough trouble to mess with a big company that
led by Howard Zhang. It would be terrible if they were to offend a bigger
player in Bay City, like the Wan family.
Looking at his wife's worried expression, Fade Chen held Quin Lin's delicate
hand and approached her. His warm breathe brushed against her ear when he
whispered. "Dear, don't worry. No matter if it's master Zhang or master
Wan, as long as I'm here, I won't let you get hurt." Fade Chen said
sincerely.
Although comforting words like these may be unreliable, somehow, Fade Chen's
words warmed Quin Lin's heart, and she calmed down.
Then, Donald Qin was sent to the police station. After that, Fade Chen quickly
removed the counterfeit products from the counter and sent them back to the
factory to be destroyed. At the same time, they controlled and monitored
closely every process in production for the new batch of products.
In less than a week, the impact from the counterfeit product incident had been
eliminated completely. New staff were appointed to the factory to monitor the
production strictly. Changes were being made in the company as well. According
to the list of staff given by Donald Qin, those who had help in disclosing the
company's business secrets were sent directly to the police station.
As for Fade Chen, he finally finished the tasks assigned to him by his wife.
Also, he did not forget to express his gratitude to Mr. Wu and Charles Wu.
Fade Chen had specially prepared a batch of health preserving wine and sent it
to Mr. Wu personally. Mr. Wu was filled with joy by this and could not help
boasting about it everywhere he went. As a result, when all the rich in Bay
City had heard the news, they rushed to Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc in hope to
buy the same wine.
Facing the requests from the rich, Quin Lin immediately set up a small-scale
production workshop which was fully entrusted to Fade Chen for the production
of the health preserving wine.
There was no need to consider the costs of raw ingredients used. They used the
best raw materials that could be bought on the market, and Fade Chen supervised
the production himself. They did not care about the profit, nor if they were
losing money from the project. After all, the connections they made with the
rich was much worthy than the cost of the production.
In this period of time, Fade Chen was busier. He shuffled between the company
and the production workshop and lost a lot of weight.
A week later, the production of the health-preserving wine was finally
stabilized. Fade Chen didn't have to go there every day, so he could have some
free time.
But, as soon as Fade Chen was ready to rest, The little beauty, Mom Soo, called
and complained to him. She said that her brother-in-law's (Fade) did not kept
his promise and deceived the little girl's feelings.
Fade Chen was confused. After asking, he figured out what was she refering to.
It turned out that Momo Soo had joined the Taekwondo Club in school to learned
Taekwondo. However, after a few classes, she did not learn much skills, but was
beat up by others several times.
She was unhappy because of it. Then, Momo Soo remembered that Fade Chen had
promised to teach her martial arts. Therefore, she called Fade Chen and
complained to him about this. She wanted Fade Chen to teach her some skills to
show off in school.
How could Fade Chen refuse? All he could do was to drive to the school and
teach Momo Soo martial arts. As for his driving license, he had it done with
the help from the rich friends he had made while delivering the
health-preserving wine to them recently.
The Taekwondo Club practised in the school gym. When Fade Chen stopped his car,
he instantly attracted the attention of many students. After all, Fade Chen was
driving his wife's car now. Although he chose the cheapest one in the garage,
it was worth more than a million dollars.
"A young man in a luxury car! Is he another rich boy who comes to the
school to pick up beautiful girls?" A student guessed.
"Of course! Hey, in this stupid society, campus belles are kept as
mistresses before they even get out of the school gate." Many boys sighed.
Then, when they saw a beautiful girl in a Taekwondo uniform walking out and
throwing herself into Fade Chen's arms, many people felt heartbroken.
"It's Momo Soo! She's my goddess!"
"Momo Soo is such an innocent girl. I didn't expect her to fall into a
rich man's trap too."
"I'm going to kill this guy."
Ignoring the whining of the people around them, Momo Soo took Fade Chen's arm
intimately and walked into the gymnasium while laughing and talking.
Momo Soo led Fade Chen to a group of girls. All the girls were wearing white
Taekwondo uniforms, and they were obviously members of the club.
Fade Chen looked around and was about to greet them. But, a plump blond hair
girl came over with an unhappy face and said, "Momo what do you mean by
bringing an outsider in here?
Momo Soo retorted immediately and said, "Yasmin Huang, what do you mean by
that? Did our coach say that outsiders are not allowed in here? Besides, he is
not an outsider. He is my private coach."
After that, Momo Soo leaned on Fade Chen intimately with a sweet face.
Seeing this, the blond haired girl sneered and said, "Private coach? Who
knows what he's teaching you. Some people tend to pretend to be innocent, but
in secret, they're so dissolute.
Momo Soo pointed at the girl and shouted, "Yasmin Huang, if you have
something to say, just say it directly. Sarcasm won't do you any good!"
"I was not talking about you. Why are you so agitated? What a shame to
find a coach who is such a nobody." Yasmin Huang glanced at Fade Chen with
disdain.
Fade Chen was speechless. He didn't say anything, but he was scolded. He do not
deserve this!
Before Fade Chen could speak, Yasmin Huang continued to criticize him,
"Considering his physique, he's not a Taekwondo coach. I think he'll go
soft with just two kicks. I wonder if he can even satisfy any dissolute
girl."
"Damn it! If I don't fight back, you'll just continue to insult me!"
Fade Chen was angry suddenly. He looked at the blond hair girl and said,
"You can try and see if I could satisfy you, you slutty woman."
Yasmin Huang was so angry that her eyes turned green. She shouted, "You're
just scum and yet you still want to take advantage of me. Get out of my
way."
"Ugh!" Fade Chen rubbed his eyes, looking like he had just seen
clearly. Then he made a vomiting gesture and coughed a few times. "I'm
sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't see clearly just now. It turns out that there is a
fat pig in front of me! Actually, hate eating greasy meat, it's too oily. I
won't take advantage of things like this even if it's free. Eww, ugh!"
Fade Chen said.
"You, how dare you insult me, you.." Yasmin hated people saying that
she was fat, and she was so angry that her face turned red in anger. If it
weren't for the girl beside her, she would have rushed up and fought Fade Chen
to death.
Chapter 57
Momo Soo pulled Fade Chen aside and playfully pinched his
arm a few times. She smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, you're so naughty.
I asked you to come here and teach me martial arts, but you taking advantage of
a female student."
"I will never want to take advantage of girls like her." Fade Chen
curled his lips, then rolled his eyes and fixed his gaze on Momo Soo. "If
she is like you, then maybe i'll consider."
"What are you saying!" Momo Soo pinched Fade Chen again, which made
him grimace in pain.
Then Momo Soo said to Fade Chen, "Yasmin was thinner before. She looked
quite decent."
Fade Chen glanced at her with a look of disbelief and said, "Really? Why
can't I see that?"
Momo Soo whispered, "She is pregnant. That's why her belly is so
big."
"What? Pregnant? Students nowadays are way too open about these
things." Fade Chen was surprised.
Momo Soo curled her lips and pointed to the other side. Following her finger,
Fade Chen saw a man in Taekwondo suit, he was in his early twenties. Then, Momo
Soo said, "Everyone says that the baby is his."
"His name is Leonard Zhu, he is a year 4 student, and he is the president
of our Taekwondo Club. His family owns a cosmetics company, which is about the
same size as my sister's. He is very rich. Yasmin likes Leonard Zhu very much
and follows him around." Momo Sooo explained, then she continued. "I
heard that Yasmin accidentally got pregnant during the last summer break. Both
of them drank too much and were drunk."
I see." Fade Chen nodded and knew the reason behind it. "It seems
that Yasmin does not want to give up on Leonard Zhu because of his family
background. Therefore, even if she faces such controversy, she will protect the
baby no matter the costs."
Momo Soo pointed at Leonard Zhu and he seemed to have noticed this and turned
his head. Leonard Zhu's handsome face has a wide smile on it. He smiled at Momo
Soo and winked his eyes at her. The flirtatious look in his eyes was obvious.
Many girls around him suddenly became infatuated, and their heart about to
overflow with passion. Momo Soo twitched her lips and turned back to look at
Fade Chen without responding to Leonard Zhu's eyes.
Fade Chen immediately realized what was going on, judging by Leonard Zhu's
behaviour. "Momo, does Leonard Zhu like you? And Yasmin doesn't treat you
well because of this reason?"
Momo Soo pouted her mouth and said, "He's obviously a jerk who indulges
himself by drinking outside. But, he pretends to be a good person in front of
me, how disgusting."
It seemed that things were just as Fade Chen imagined. Yasmin liked Leonard,
but Leonard liked Momo Soo. Fade Chen sighed. Indeed, a beautiful woman will be
given attention no matter where she goes.
However, that guy was clearly a scumbag and dared to tease Momo Soo. Fade Chen
would not let him off.
After some chatting, a 30-year-old man, the coach began to call everyone over.
After speaking about some key points of training, he paired everyone up for the
training.
As soon as Momo Soo turned around, Leonard came over with a self-righteous
bright smile on his face. He reached out gently and said, "Momo, let's
practice together."
Many girls were envious of Leonard's affectionate look towards Momo Soo. Are
the girls really in darkness about Leonard's true colors or did they know it
but liked him anyway?
However, Momo Soo shook her head and ignored Leonard, Momo walked to Fade Chen
and said, "No, someone is here to practice with me."
While speaking, Momo Soo walked over to Fade Chen, took Fade Chen's arm
intimately, and said sweetly. "Let's start!"
Then, Fade Chen and Momo Soo walked to a corner. Fade Chen began to teach Momo
how to practice. Kicking, punching, the horse stance, and bow stance. Fade Chen
taught Momo in an orderly manner.
During the teaching process, it was inevitable for them to brush each other
while Fade Chen corrected Momo's movements. Sometimes, Fade put his hands on
her waist, and sometimes he held her slender arms. Sometimes, he would hug Momo
from behind and feel the warmth from her delicate body.
Such an intimate exchange made Leonard's eyes burn with anger. He could no
longer suppress his anger and rushed over.
"Leonard Zhu, what do you want?" Seeing Leonard Zhu so aggressive,
Momo Soo shouted rudely.
Leonard Zhu was stunned for a moment, then he thought of something and said,
"Momo, the taekwondo that your private coach is teaching you is not up to
standard at all. Let me teach you. I'm a second dan black belt and I'm more
professional than this con man."
Momo Soo did not respond. Fade Chen said bluntly, "Who said I am teaching
Momo Taekwondo?"
"If it's not up to standard then it is not. Just stop looking for an
excuse." Leonard Zhu said with disdain, "Momo, I think it's better to
not have any contact with such a coach. You can't learn anything from him. Even
if you do, it's not in a proper way"
"What a senseless man. What I'm teaching Momo is the martial arts of
Celestial Empire, which is much better than your martial arts. Fade Chen said
bluntly.
"You are saying that Taekwondo is just all for show?" Leonard Zhu
glared at Fade Chen, and many students around him also gathered around him with
angry looks. After all, this was the Taekwondo Club.
Fade Chen remained calm and said, "I'm just telling the truth. Compared
with my Chinese martial arts, Taekwondo is nothing."
"How dare you! You are insulting Taekwondo and us. Apologize
immediately!" Leonard Zhu shouted, and many students around also echoed
his words.
Fade Chen still looked calm and said, "Insult? You're thinking too much.
Things like Taekwondo is not worthy of being insulted by me."
"What an arrogant man!"
"Apologize, apologize immediately!"
"This is a challenge, a challenge to us."
The crowd was furious. Dozens of Taekwondo students gathered around and glared
at Fade Chen angrily. Even the middle-aged coach frowned and came over.
Leonard Zhu's eyes flashed a hint of joy when he saw this. Then he resumed his
righteous look and said to Fade Chen, "Since you look down on Taekwondo,
do you dare accept my challenge and fight? Let's see who is more
skillful."
"Fight with you?" Fade Chen glanced at him and shook his head
disdainfully. "You're too weak. I'm not interested.
"You.." Leonard Zhu almost lost his temper, then he sneered and said,
"I think you are afraid and only know how to talk. How about I bet 50,000
dollars on you. Do you dare accept the challenge?"
"50,000 dollars?" Fade Chen seemed to be a little moved. Then he
rolled his eyes and said, "I don't care about this little money. However,
if you are willing to kneel down and apologize to me and stay away from Momo, I
will accept your challenge.
"You.." Leonard Zhu's eyes were red with anger.
"Why, don't you dare gamble? Then don't stand out. You're just a
coward." Fade Chen looked disdainful.
Leonard Zhu was so irritated that his head felt on fire. "Who said I
wouldn't dare to do that? Well, I'll be with you. If I lose, I'll kneel down
and apologize to you, and stay away from Momo. But if you lose, you must do the
same thing."
Chapter 58
"Yes, but you will never have the chance, Fade Chen
said blandly.
"Such arrogance!" Leonard Zhu shouted, pointed to a spacious area,
and said, "Go there and let Coach Hu be the judge!"
"Okay, whatever you say." Fade Chen nodded and walked over. His
attitude was very cold, even could be seen as indifferent.
Leonard Zhu put on a fighting stance. His legs arched, his body leaned forward
slightly, his right hand ready to blow a punch, and his left hand bent and
contracted. He could launch an attack any second.
Fade Chen, on the other hand, put his hands in his pockets. He looked like he
did not even care and yawned. No one could tell if he had any desire to fight.
Seeing this, Coach Hu could not help but frown slightly and said, "Do not
attack the vital body parts. This is a friendly match. Let's begin the match if
both of you understand!"
After that, Coach Hu waved his arm down.
Immediately, ZLeonard Zhu shouted, his left leg steadied and turned into
support. His body rotated, and his right leg drew an arc in the air and kicked
towards Fade Chen.
The crowd burst into an uproar.
"Awesome. Nice kick, Leonard Zhu."
"Of course, Leonard Zhu is a second dan black belt and has a solid
foundation."
"Look, that kid is just standing still. Is he scared?"
In the crowd's discussion, Yasmin Huang's voice was particularly obvious. With
a smile on her face, she glanced at Momo Su from time to time and sneered,
"Some people are blind, they call a piece of trash to come here and want
to battle with Leonard Zhu? What a joke."
Even Coach Hu, the judge, looked at Fade Chen's movements and shook his head.
He thought to himself, "This guy is a total layman. It's easy for him to
con a little girl like Momo. But when he meets a real master, he will be
completely stunned by it. I only hope that Leonard Zhu's kick will not be
ruthless. Don't kick that guy heavily, otherwise, it will be a little
troublesome."
Almost everyone was ready to watch Leonard Zhu knock Fade Chen down with a
kick.
Leonard Zhu's eyes were fierce, and his right leg swept towards Fade Chen's
waist. "Go to hell!" Leonard Zhu shouted.
The kick was about to hit Fade Chen. But at that exact moment, Fade Chen gently
blocked it with his right hand at his waist.
Then, "Bang!", Leonard Zhu's great kick was blocked by Fade Chen's
right hand.
Everyone didn't understand what had happened. At this time, Fade Chen gently
clenched his right hand and grabbed Leonard Zhu's ankle. Then with a slight
force, he quickly picked Leonard up, who was 1.8 meters tall, and turned a few
circles in the air. Then Leonard was slammed into the ground with a bang, which
made everyone's feet tremble slightly.
Looking at Leonard Zhu, lying on the ground, his exposed back full of bruises, it
was obvious that he was severely beaten. His face was swollen and showed a
pained expression. His arms couldn't support him. He tried standing up from the
ground, but he couldn't do it at all.
It was silent all around. The people who had been shouting enthusiastically
were completely shocked. Only Momo Soo's excited shouts echoed in the stadium,
"Yeah, perfect. We won, we won!"
"What, what's going on? Leonard Zhu lost."
"How strong is that guy? He picked Leonard Zhu up with his bare
hands."
"That doesn't count. That's not a move from Taekwondo. Leonard Zhu didn't
lose." Yasmine Huang was still finding excuses for Leonard, but even she
herself was not convinced.
At this moment, Coach Hu went over and carefully helped Leonard Zhu up. Leonard
glared at Fade Chen and wanted to leave.
Seeing this, Fade Chen snorted and said, "Are you going to just leave like
this? There are some things that you haven't done yet.
Everyone paused for moment and understood that Fade Chen was referring to the
bet. For a moment, everyone looked at Leonard Zhu awkwardly. After all, for
Leonard, a rich young man, to kneel down and admit his mistakes was really
unimaginable.
Leonard Zhu's face turned ferocious. He gritted his teeth and said, "I
lost. I was wrong."
"And?" Fade Chen said, "You seem to have forgotten
something!"
Leonard Zhu gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Don't push too far!"
"Am I pushing too far?"
Fade Chen sneered, "If you can't afford to gamble, just say it
straightaway It's a cowardly thing to do to find excuses."
"You.." Leonard Zhu was agitated. As a result, he stretched the
swelling on his body and immediately screamed in pain.
With a frown, Coach Hu looked at Fade Chen and said, "Sir, everyone makes
mistakes, do forgive them when possible."
"Is that so?" Fade Chen said coldly, "If I were the one
defeated, would Coach Hu plead on my behalf?"
"Do you have to be so aggressive?" Coach Hu's voice turned cold.
"What a joke?" Fade Chen said, "I just asked him not to break
his promise, but now I'm being overly aggressive. Then I'll show you my real
aggression!"
"Leonard Zhu, kneel down!" A thunderous roar sounded, shocking Leonard
Zhu. His whole body trembled and his legs went limp. Unexpectedly, he fell to
the ground and knelt in front of Fade Chen.
When Coach Hu saw this, his eyes blazed with anger. He glared at Fade Chen and
said, "You've gone too far. This is Taekwondo Club. I'm the coach, and
Leonard Zhu is my student. You're insulting my student, insulting
Taekwondo."
"Do you wanna try?" Fade Chen glanced at Coach Hu with disdain.
Coach Hu lowered his voice, tightened the black belt around his waist and
shouted, "I'll let you know what happens to anyone who provokes us."
Seeing this, the students who had been silent suddenly became excited.
"Coach Hu is doing it himself. We will definitely win this time."
"That boy is a little strange. Coach Hu won't lose, will he?"
"Are you kidding? What's Coach Hu level? He's a master of black belt,
ninth dan. It's more than enough to deal with a kid."
"How dare that guy challenge Coach Hu? It's too late for him to cry."
"Coach Hu, we must avenge Leonard and teach that guy a lesson."
Yasmin Huang shouted with a vicious face.
I'm ready. It's time to start." Coach Hu made a stance, took a deep
breath, and shouted in a deep voice.
Fade Chen waved his hand casually and said, "Let's do it then. I don't
want to waste too much time on this."
"You.. arrogant man.. Coach Hu was full of anger. He shouted and stepped
on the ground heavily. Then he punched Fade Chen with his right fist.
Some students, who had a strong foundation in Taekwondo, saw Coach Hu's attack
and immediately became more confident in him.
"Coach Hu's steps are steady and his punches are decisive. His movements
seem plain, but the power is much greater than some flashy moves."
"Coach Hu indeed is a professional. This moment he exerted his move, the
aura was different."
"Look, Coach Hu will definitely win in less than 10 moves!"
Chapter 59
"Whoosh!"
Coach Hu's punch came with a strong gust of wind. It was indeed much more
powerful than Leonard Zhu's punch.
However, for Fade Chen, the results would still be the same. It was not
challenging at all.
Just like before, Fade Chen gently stretched out his right fist and grabbed
Coach Hu wrist. Coach Hu's eyes turned and a thought came to his mind. He
gently shook his wrist, trying to avoid Fade Chen's right hand.
But almost as soon as he moved, Fade Chen's right hand moved also, and then he
gripped Coach Hu wrist accurately.
Coach Hu's punch was blocked. Then, Fade Chen picked Coach Hu up by just
exerting a little force with his hand on Coach Hu's right hand.
Fade Chen spinned Coach Hu in the air a few times. Then, with a loud bang,
Coach Hu was also smashed to the ground. He landed the same way as Leonard Zhu
did.
The audience quieted down completely. The students who had said that Coach Hu
would win just now were shocked and looked at the scene in disbelief.
"How, how is this possible? Coach Hu has lost."
"And he was defeated in one move. How strong is this guy!"
"Is this true? Am I being blinded by something?"
Fade Chen glanced at Leonard Zhu, who was also stunned, and said, "Now,
are you willing to kneel down and admit your mistake?"
Leonard Zhu's body trembled and a sense of fear welled up in his heart. The
muscles on his face trembled and he knelt down. He gritted his teeth and said,
"I'm sorry, I was wrong. I won't pester Momo anymore."
Fade Chen nodded, then turned to Momo Soo and said with a smile, "How
about it? I told you that the kung fu I taught you is much better than
Taekwondo."
"Yes, you are right!" Momo Soo said and took Fade Chen's arm and
leaned on him.
Then, under all kinds of gazes, they left the gymnasium, got in their luxury
car worth millions of dollar and left immediately.
Yasmin Huang watched the two of them go with anger in her eyes. At this moment,
she saw a well-dressed woman coming over.
Yasmin's eyes lit up and she walked over. Yasmin Huang knew who this woman was.
She seemed to be Louise Lee. Louise came from a decent family and was Momo
Soo's roommate. It seemed that Louise did not have a good relation with Momo
Soo. She wanted to get some information from Louise.
"Louise!" Yasmin Huang shouted at Louise Lee, then pointed to the car
and said, "Momo, that slutty woman, recently hooked up with a private
coach. Do you have any information about that guy?"
Louise Lee obviously knew who Yasmin Huang was, but she didn't want to talk
about Momo Soo. After all, she still remembered the scene in the restaurant the
last time. That man could even command Tom Wei that way, it would be as easy as
pinching an ant to death for Fade Chen to kill her.
However, Yasmin Huang stopped her and said in an even more sarcastic tone. She
told her everything that had happened in the gymnasium earlier. Finally, she
said with hatred, "That guy dared to provoke Leonard Zhu. Sooner or later,
Fade Chen will know what's coming for him. Humph!"
However, Louise Lee's face became more and more pale as she listened. Louise
Lee said, "Is the private coach you mentioned named Fade Chen? He is very
close to Momo."
Yasmin Huang thought for a moment and nodded. "Yes, that's his name."
Louise Lee trembled violently upon hearing Fade Chen's name. With a panic look
in her eyes, she said, "Yasmin, since we are acquainted, I remind you,
neither you or Leonard Zhu shouldn't go against Fade Chen, never!"
"Louise, what's wrong with you? Fade Chen just knows some martial arts. So
what?" Huang Ya didn't take it seriously.
However, Louise Lee's face was pale with fright. She knew the horror of that
person. Louise never wanted to experience that scene again. "Yasmin, I'll
say it again. Don't provoke Fade. Don't. This is my last warning."
After that, Louise Lee walked away regardless of Yasmin Huang calling her back.
With a puzzled look on her face, Yasmin Huang shook her head and muttered,
"What's wrong with Louise? Why did she suddenly become so timid? What's so
great about that guy? Why does he make her so scared?"
While Yasmin Huang and Louise Lee were talking, Fade Chen and Momo Soo had
arrived at the rented house outside the school.
They didn't see Yuri Zhang there. Momo said that Yuri went out to work.
Almost all her living expenses and the next year's tuition fee depended on Yuri
herself.
Although that little girl was introverted, she was obviously stubborn and would
not accept monetary subsidies from Momo Soo and Fade Chen.
After packing up some clothes and daily necessities, Momo Soo went into Fade
Chen's car and was ready to go back to the villa for a few days. After all,
since the beginning of the semester, she had not gone back to visit Quin Lin.
When they returned to the villa, it was already time for dinner. Housekeeper
Wong had prepared a sumptuous dinner.
With Momo Soo's talkative character at the dining table, the atmosphere
instantly became lively. She kept talking about Fade Chen's heroic performance
of defeating two of the Taekwondo practitioners in the gymnasium. After she
finished, she dragged Fade Chen to act out how she learned martial arts.
At this moment, Quin Lin was staring at Fade Chen from the side. While Fade
Chen was teaching Momo Soo, he did not dare do anything unnecessary. Fade Chen
was at least two meters away from Momo Soo. Even if he occasionally reached out
to instruct her, he would retreat as soon as he corrected her.
As a result, whether it was intentional or not, Momo Soo took Fade Chen's hand
on her own. She kept on performing all kinds of martial arts movements, and
occasionally let Quin Lin see if her movements were correct.
Fade Chen felt extremely tormented and glanced at his wife from time to time.
He observed the expression on his wife's face for fear that she would have any
doubts.
Momo Soo, seemed to have teased Fade Chen enough, and finally stopped. Then she
rolled her eyes and said, "Sister, brother-in-law's kung fu is so good.
Why don't you let him teach you?"
Quin Lin was stunned for a moment, and then instinctively waved her hand to
reject it. But Momo Soo had already grabbed Quin Lin's hand and handed it to
Fade Chen. Then she quietly winked at Fade Chen and gave him a thumbs-up, as if
to encourage Fade Chen.
Fade Chen was suddenly moved. What a good sister-in-law! She still remembered
to help me to get closer to my wife. It's worth it for me to go to her school
and help her.
Fade Chen smiled at Momo Soo and nodded, then began to teach Quin Lin carefully.
Although Quin Lin didn't want to she still learned every move when Fade Chen
held her hand and began to teach.
Fade Chen also took the opportunity to get closer to his wife. From time to
time, he would gently pinch her little hands and touch her slim waist. He was
so happy that his smile was very obvious on his face.
However, in less than half an hour, Quin Lin's breath began to quicken, and a
layer of sweat oozed from her body. She seemed to feel uncomfortable.
Chapter 60
Seeing this, Fade Chen quickly felt his wife's pulse. The
result made Fade Chen a little worried.
As the Ice Lotus in her body was getting closer to maturity. the poison in her
body became stronger. This caused her physical condition continued to weaken.
So, even a little exercise, her body could not stand it anymore.
Thinking of this, Fade Chen couldn't help but decide in his heart. He was going
to make his wife a set of medicines to strengthen her body. Otherwise, before
the Ice Lotus could ripen, his wife might not be able to withstand the poison
and die.
Quin Lin also realised the problem with her body. Her interest in practising
martial arts suddenly faded. After dinner, she went upstairs.
Momo Soo noticed that something was wrong and asked Fade Chen about it. When
she found out that her cousin was in poor health, she went upstairs to
accompany Quin Lin.
Fade Chen had nothing to do now. He got ready and went out to buy some herbs to
prepare the medicine for his wife as soon as possible.
Just as Fade Chen was about to go out, footsteps came from the door outside,
and then a weak voice was heard, "Mom, I'm here!"
Fade Chen went to open the door, and then saw a man about 27 or 28 years of age
standing at the door. The man was thin and short. He wore a pair of thick
glasses, with short hair and sportswear. When he saw Fade Chen, he was a little
surprised and flustered.
"Hello, may I ask who are you..." Fade Chen asked with some doubts.
"I, I am.." The man lowered his head and whispered.
At this moment, Housekeeper Wong wiped her hands and ran over with
embarrassment. She glanced at the man and said, "This is Mr. Chen. Where
are your manners!"
"Hi, Mr Chen!" The man greeted and then lowered his head. He looked
very reserved.
Housekeeper Wong introduced to Fade Chen, "Sir, this is my son Jordan Qi.
We are going out together later, so I asked him to come here."
"Oh! Housekeeper Wong, then go ahead. Don't worry about the things at
home." Fade Chen nodded and then thought of something. "Housekeeper
Wong, are you going to the city? I'm going out, too. Why don't we go
together?"
"This, this may not be appropriate." Housekeeper Wong smiled
politely.
Fade Chen smiled and said, "Housekeeper Wong, don't be so polite to me.
Just wait for a moment with Jordan. I'll change my shoes and drive out right
away."
Soon, Fade Chen changed his shoes and drove Housekeeper Wong and Jordan Qi to
the city together.
Along the way, Fade Chen chatted with Housekeeper Wong. After that, Fade Chen
knew what Housekeeper Wong was going to do with her son.
It turned out that Housekeeper Wong was taking her son to a blind date.
Jordan Xi was a top student in a university. After graduating with a major in
chemistry, he worked in a factory for four or five years. His personal
abilities and working attitude was good and he was praised by his colleagues in
the factory.
But the main point was that he was too introverted. In his work, he only
focused on his job in the factory. So, many credits were taken away by others.
He had been working for almost half a decade, and his salary was only 6,000
dollars a month, which was far less than his peers who came to the factory at
the same time.
In terms of Jordan's personal life, due to his personality, he had never been
in contact with any women, not to mention dating. Seeing that Jordan Qi was
about to reach 30 years of age, Housekeeper Wong was also anxious. She asked
all kinds of acquaintances and friends to introduce any available women to her.
Some time ago, Housekeeper Wong heard of a girl from an acquaintance. The girl
was also a college student and would soon graduate in a semester's time. The
girl had a good character and appearance.
So, Housekeeper Wong hurriedly arranged this blind date after her son got off
work.
After that, Housekeeper Wong kept talking to Fade Chen, and kept telling her
son the key points of the blind date. Housekeeper Wong told Jordan Qi that he
had to be more open-minded, take the initiative to talk more with the girl, and
coax people. Housekeeper Wong even asked Fade Chen to teach him how to pursue a
beautiful woman like President Lin.
It was inconvenient for Fade Chen to say anything about personal relationships.
He simply said a few things to satisfy their qualms. Then he sent them to a ian
street in the city center.
After Housekeeper Wong and Jordan Qi got off the car, Fade Chen drove to the
other side of town and found a home based pharmacy to buy some herbs.
Fade Chen bought several bags of medicinal herbs from the shop and put them in
the car. However, the most important medicine, "Fire Flame Plant",
was not found. The Fire Flame Plant had Yang properties and contained a rich
Yang energy. After taking the medicine, it would have some effect on the poison
in Quin Lin's body, and it was also suitable to help her strengthen her body.
He asked several pharmacy stores in a row, but failed to find the Fire Flame
Plant. Fade Chen could only find another way to find this herb.
So Fade Chen wanted to drive home. Before he started the car, Fade Chen
suddenly saw two figures coming out of a western restaurant next to the car.
They were two girls in their early twenties, and Fade Chen knew who they were.
Among them, the woman with blond hair and a plump figure was Yasmin Huang.
Yasmin Huang was wearing a loose long dress, covering her waist, so now her
waist and abdomen were not so obvious.
A short-haired woman next to her, who was also a member of the Taekwondo Club
the other time, was holding Yasmin Huang's arm and talking about something
closely.
Although Fade Chen did not eavesdrop deliberately, the conversation between the
two still reached his ears.
The short-haired woman asked, "Yasmin, why did you suddenly come out for a
blind date?"
Yasmin Huang pointed to her slightly protruding belly and whispered, "It's
all because of this little guy."
"Are you going to give birth soon?" The short-haired woman asked in
surprise.
Yasmin Huang glared at her and said, "Are you stupid? It's not even been
three months. How can it be so fast?"
"Then why?" The short-haired woman asked doubtfully.
Yasmin Huang said, "Last week, I went to Leonard Zhu and told him I want
to keep the baby. But Leonard said that the baby must be aborted. If I didn't
agree, he would stop giving me my living expenses."
"Do you mean that you want to find a stepfather for the child?" The
short-haired woman asked.
Yasmin Huang curled her lip and said disdainfully, "What stepfather? It's
just a spare tyre for the time being. When the child is born, Leonard Zhu won't
give me living expenses anymore. I have to find a way. I'll get married and
find an honest person to live with first and get some living expenses. When the
child is born, we will break up immediately."
"What do you plan to do after the child is born?" The short haired
woman asked with some concern.
Yasmin Huang looked hopeful and said, "Are you stupid? The Zhu family owns
such a big company. I am giving birth to a child of the Zhu family. At that
time, I will go to the company. So even if Leonard does not want to marry me,
it will be easy to ask for money. Besides, Leonard Zhu's father Xavier Zhu is
well-known for valuing men and belittling women. If I gave birth to a baby boy,
perhaps my child can gain an inheritance from the Zhu family. At that time, I
will....."
With this, Yasmin Huang's eyes lit up as if she could see her beautiful future.
