Magic Doctor: CEO Lady's Humble Husband chapter 165-180

Chapter 166

 Amid the crowd's exclamations and noises, everyone's eyes followed the powerful Shancus Wan's attack and focused on Fade Chen.

Facing such a punch, Fade Chen's expression was still the same as before. He stood quietly in the same place with a faint smile on his face, as if he didn't notice the incoming attack.

When Shancus Wan's fist was about to hit Fade Chen, he finally moved.

He took a step forward leisurely, raised his right arm, and struck out with his palm.

His move looked powerless and weak, making it look like he was just playing around. Yet, when his fist landed on Shancus Wan, his aura intensified and his strength grew. As a result, his attack packed a great punch and landed right on target.

"Boom!"

With a loud noise, Fade Chen's fist came hurtling down.

Shancus Wan was also thrown off by his attack. He quickly withdrew his arms and put them above his head to block Fade Chen's attack.

"Crack!"

With a loud snap, Fade Chen's palm landed on Shancus Wan's arms and both of his arms were broken in an instant. At the same time, the huge force forced him to the ground.

"Boom, boom!"

Following the loud noises, Shancus Wan's knees left two gaping cavities on the hard marble floor. Cracks started to form from the puncture and spread outwards, forming an eerily web of lines that looked like a spider's web.

"Swish!"

There was dead silence as everyone was taken aback by this move and could only gawk at the scene. Someone rubbed his eyes hard, as if he could not believe what had happened.

"He was defeated. I can't believe Shancus Wan has lost."

"He's a Black Level expert, but he was defeated so easily just like that."

"He defeated a Black Level expert with one move. How powerful is Fade Chen?"

"How, how could this be possible?"

"Father (Grandfather)..." Aaron Wan and Horace Wan smiles stiffened. They were aghast and looked at Fade Chen in horror.

In the mere moments where everyone was still overcome with awe, Shancus Wan's eyes were full of terror as blood slowly seeped out from his tight lips.

This was because it was only when he had faced Fade Chen head on did he realize that this man was his worst nightmare. This move was not simply to defeat him, but to kill him.

He struggled to look up and saw the cold murderous intent in Fade Chen's eyes. Goosebumps formed all over his body as he stammered, "Please, please don't kill me."

Fade Chen retorted coldly, "You just wanted to kill me. Why can't I kill you now?"

The conversation between the two shocked everyone, leaving everyone's expression in shock and horror. The thought that Fade Chen was just trying to defeat Shancus Wan and never thought that the moves aimed at Shancus Wan were lethal.

Momentarily, everyone looked deeply astonished by this turn of events. There were quite a lot of differences between defeating a Black Level expert and killing a Black Level expert.

When Aaron Wan and Horace Wan heard this, they were horrified and quickly shouted, "Fade Chen, let go of my father (grandpa)."

Fade Chen snorted and said, "The two of you aren't even qualified to bargain with me." The two of them trembled, traces of fear seen clearly in their eyes as they huddled together. If Fade Chen dared to kill Shancus Wan, they would be easy targets for him.

Shancus Wan saw this and said with difficulty, "As long as you let me go, you can have anything that belongs to Wan family. The entire Wan family can also be given to you!"

At this point, he had completely admitted defeat and just wanted to survive.

However, Fade Chen shook his head and said, "There's nothing I want from you. Besides, if I kill you, the Wan family will be mine. I don't need you to give it to me."

Shancus Wan's heart thumped loudly in his chest. A snap was once again heard from his arms as the remaining bones in his hand were broken, accompanied by a sharp piercing pain.

The imminent feeling of death made Shancus Wan panic. He grunted loudly, "What do you want then? I'll promise you anything as long as you let me go."

Fade Chen said coldly, "I'm going to... kill you!"

As he spoke, Fade Chen lowered his palm again until it was less than ten centimeters away from the top of Shancus Wan's head.

Shancus Wan was terrified and shouted, "Don't kill me, don't kill me."

Fade Chen ignored him and continued lowering his palm, which was now less than five centimeters away from the top of Shancus Wan's head.

Shancus Wan was enraged. He shouted, "Fade Chen, if you kill me, you'll die a terrible death. My junior won't let you off."

"Your junior?" Fade Chen had never heard of Shancus Wan having a powerful junior.

Shancus Wan noticed Fade Chen's hesitation and quickly shouted, "I am a disciple of the Third River Clan. My junior,Saga He, is the leader of the Third River Clan. If you dare to kill me, he will not let you off."

As soon as he uttered the words "Third River Clan", most of the people present looked puzzled. Obviously, they had never heard of this name before.

However, some martial arts people who knew about the clan started to explain, "Third River Clan is a famous martial arts clan in Sunriver City, located southwest of Bay City. Five years ago, the entire Third River Clan's skills rose from Yellow Level to Black Level. It is a considered a powerhouse locally"

"Black Level skills? Are they that good?" The crowd couldn't help but exclaim.

After all, among the several big shots in Bay City, even the strongest Wan Family could only be considered a Yellow Level clan during the selection processes to filter out the big four clans in the area. A Black Level clan would already hold power unimaginable compared to that of a Yellow Level clan.

Someone chimed in, "The Sun family in Dragonville, Long City is also a Black Level clan."

Hearing this, everyone was even more surprised and they understood it more clearly.

The Sun family was a famous family of martial arts that had been in the Long City for hundreds of years. Initially though, the Sun family was only slightly stronger than that of the Wan family, barely making the threshold to consider itself a Yellow Level clan.

The Sun family then gradually developed its connections and fame in Long City. Despite becoming a growing powerhouse, it still had ways to go before it could be considered a Black Level clan. However ten years ago, a great change had taken place in the Sun Family.

At that time, Francesca Sun, a woman from a branch of the Sun Family, suddenly returned to the Sun Family after wandering outside for more than ten years. She then reigned victory over the power struggle in her family ranks through her fists and became the leader of the Sun Family.

In the next ten years, under the leadership of Francesca Sun, the Sun Family rapidly developed. In just six years, they had become a Black Level clan and was one of the largest families in Long City.

In recent years, the development of the Sun Family gradually slowed down. But compared to the smaller clans, it was still much faster.

Chapter 167

 

The fact that Shancus Wan was the senior of the Third River Clan's leader as well as the head of the Sun family came as a great shock to everyone. They couldn't help but gasp in surprise, then turned their gaze towards Fade Chen.

 

Everyone wanted to see what decision Fade Chen would make in such situation. He was already quite powerful having the strength of a Black Level martial artist. However, he wouldn't stand a chance if he went up against a clan full of Black Level martial artists.

 

For a moment, everyone sighed. Fade Chen would be forced to stop.

Even Tom Wei and Jimmy Wei's expressions turned grave as they looked at Fade Chen.

 

They knew that letting Shancus Wan go was definitely not a good choice. This old fox would never be grateful to someone for letting him go. On the contrary, he would hate them even more. It was likely that he would think of all kinds of ways to get revenge.

 

But when it came to killing Shancus Wan and making an enemy of a Black Level clan like the Third River Clan, Jimmy Wei couldn't help but worry about Fade Chen.

 

At this moment, Shancus Wan saw Fade Chen pause and noticed the shocked expressions of the people around them. He could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that he had managed to save his life.

 

As long as he could survive this ordeal, he would immediately rush to the Third River Clan and ask his junior, Saga He, for help. Fade Chen would definitely meet his demise then.

 

Just when everyone thought that Fade Chen would stop, he suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled gently. "Is a Black Level clan that powerful?"

 

"You..." Shancus Wan was shocked and looked at Fade Chen.

However, Fade Chen did not give him any chance to speak. He slammed his palm hard against the top of Shancus Wan's head.

 

"Crack!" The sound of bone snapping could be heard from Shancus Wan's neck. Blood gushed out from the top of his head and his eyes lost its brilliance. He fell to the ground hard as his head lolled to the side like a broken ragdoll. He was dead.

 

Seeing this, Aaron Wan and Horace Wan were shocked and rushed over. "Father (grandpa)! Fade Chen, you killed my father (grandpa), I'm going to kill you."

 

Fade Chen turned his head and gave him a cold look. He scoffed, "I don't mind massacring the entire Wan family."

 

The two of them who were still deep in sorrow suddenly froze on the spot, not daring to move a muscle.

 

At this moment, the guests around him came to their senses and looked in at Shancus Wan in disbelief, who was lying motionless on the ground. Then, they looked back at Fade Chen, who was as calm as a cucumber. They simply couldn't believe their eyes.

 

"Shancus Wan is dead! A Black Level expert dead just like that!"

"Fade Chen actually managed to kill Old Wan. Isn't he afraid that the Third River Clan would take revenge on him?"

 

"This, this is too terrifying."

"Fade Chen, from now on, Bay City will be under his control."

Everyone was shocked. Fade Chen glanced around and then asked in a clear voice, "Does anyone have anything to say about this wedding?"

 

Howard Zhang, the groom of the wedding, was dead. As for Aaron Wan and Horace Wan who helped him, they were both crippled. Even Old Wan was killed by Fade Chen. No one dared to say anything.

 

Dead silence hung in the air and everyone didn't dare to utter a word. Some even held their breath, not daring to breathe loudly. They were afraid that they would startle Fade Chen by moving carelessly.

 

Fade Chen glanced around, then waved his hand and said, "If there are no more problems, then everyone can leave. It's no one's business now."

 

The guests rushed to the exit as if they had been granted amnesty, running so fast that it seemed that there were beasts chasing after them.

 

Leonard Zhu and Lincoln Xie took the opportunity to mingle with the crowd and moved towards the exit regardless of their status.

 

But just as they moved, a loud shout suddenly sounded above the heads of the two people. "Where do you think you're going?"

 

The two people shook in their shoes upon hearing their voice, a chill running down their spine. Their head pounded as the blood in their body curdled and they froze in their spot.

 

Fade Chen gently waved his hand, and an invisible force sucked the two over.

 

Standing in front of Fade Chen, the two men felt their knees buckle and they almost fell to the ground.

 

Fade Chen's gaze were locked between the two of them, and his eyes fell on Lincoln Xie. He said coldly, "Tell me you and your third uncle's plan truthfully and write it down on this piece of paper. Don't think about lying to me, otherwise, you'll have to face the consequences."

 

Lincoln Xie didn't dare to say anything. He immediately picked up the paper and wrote down the details of the plan.

 

Fade Chen picked up Lincoln Xie's plan and scanned through it. It was almost the same as what he had guessed. Then, he put the paper in front of them and said, "Those who have participated in this plan, come up now."

 

The few people, including Dawson Zhang and Xavier Zhu, were stunned, the muscles on their faces twitched several times.

 

Seeing this, Fade Chen glanced at them and motioned at them slightly with his right hand, saying, "If you don't want to, I'll make you."

 

The few of them were so frightened that they felt a chill all over their bodies. They did not dare to defy and quickly rushed over to write their names. Just a few simple actions had already made them break out in a cold sweat.

 

Looking at the names of these people, Fade Chen swept his eyes over them and said, "You have conspired together to exploit benefits of the Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc. Now, it's time to pay the price."

 

When they heard the words, their faces turned pale. Xavier Zhu was the first to react, thinking that Zhu family was the least involved and most likely to withdraw from the plan. So he hurriedly offered, "We are willing to transfer 40%, no, 51% of shares of Shang Enterprises Holdings to Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc.

 

With that, Xavier Zhu looked at Fade Chen uneasily.

Fade Chen glanced at Quin Lin, then nodded and announced, "You can go now."

 

Xavier Zhu and Leonard Zhu quickly took their leave. Although they had given up 51% of shares of Shang Enterprises Holdings enough to hand over ownership of Shang Enterprises Holdings to Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc, it was already a good deal to them since their lives were still intact.

 

Noting that the offer worked, Lincoln Xie followed suit and said, "I am willing to transfer 50% of shares of Xie's Wine Enterprise to Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc."

 

Dawson Zhang quickly added, "The same goes for Hans Real Estate. I will transfer 51% of the shares to Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc."

 

Fade Chen waved his hand, signaling them to leave.

In the end, there were only Aaron Wan and Horace Wan left in front of Fade Chen. They also wanted to transfer 51% of their properties to Fade Chen. However, the assets of the Wan family were not as attractive as the companies before them. Moreover, Fade Chen had just said that if he killed them, he could also get the Wan Family nevertheless.

 

Fade Chen had no intention of asking money from the Wan Family. He asked coldly, "A few months ago, Howard Zhang drugged Quin. The Guanyin Drunken medicine that he used was given to him by Horace Wan, wasn't it? Where did that come from?"

 

Chapter 168

 

Horace Wan trembled in fear and he could not hide the truth. "It's from the Third River Clan."

 

"Third River Clan!" Hearing this name again, Fade Chen asked, "What is the connection between the Wan Family and The Third River Clan? Speak the truth!"

 

Horace Wan started describing the relationship between the Wan Family and The Third River Clan. Aaron Wan, who knew all this first hand, would add to the details.

 

After he finished, Fade Chen had a better idea of what the connection between them was.

 

Shancus Wan wasn't lying, he really was a disciple from the Third River Clan. The Wan family was a local family with a history of emerging martial-artists. Back then, Shancus Wan was not the family favorite, as his skill and strength was considered merely mediocre.

 

Shancus Wan was young and ambitious, so he left his family and traveled extensively. He made his way to the Third River Clan where he started his apprenticeship. Saga He, whom he mentioned earlier, was accepted as a disciple at the same time.

 

The two got along well, and trained together for five years at the Third River Clan. It was at that time that the heir of the Wan Family met with an accident and passed away. Shancus Wan was summoned, as one of the next of kin, to return to the family.

 

Shancus Wan had been at the clan for five years, and was beginning to be bored and tired of the lifestyle there. He left and returned to take care of Wan Family matters at Bay City.

 

Although he was just a disciple of average level at the Third River Clan during his five years there, his skill and strength was considered outstanding when compared with outsiders. Slowly he rose amongst the ranks of his family members and in another five years became the patriarch of the Wan Family. He was only in his thirties at that time.

 

While Shancus Wan was elected as head of his family, Saga He of the Third River Clan was improving in skills and strength. His talent and abilities led him to be inducted into the inner circle of the Third River Clan. The Third River Clan grew in strength and reputation, and Shancus Wan kept in contact with Saga He, maintaining a good relationship with him.

 

In recent years, both had grown in age and stature, and there were not many opportunities to meet. Therefore, the task of maintaining connected fell on the shoulders of the younger generation.

 

Horace Wan had procured the Guanyin Drunken Medicine from one of these exchanges. Its use was instrumental in harming many innocent people. Howard Zhang and his cohorts heard of this potion, obtained some from Horace Wan and used it against Quin Lin.

 

In addition, Horace Wan and Aaron Wan's rapid progress in skill and strength stemmed from the pills they had acquired from the Third River Clan. It helped them achieve this feat in a short time.

 

Hearing their explanation, Quin Lin, Lily Wei, Jimmy Wei and Tom Wei felt worried. Third River Clan disciples were of the Black Level, and an elder of a Black Level clan would be a formidable opponent indeed.

 

However, Fade Chen was not affected by this. He was not intimidated by the strength of a Black Level martial-artist. Even if he faced off with a martial-artist of the Earth Level or Heaven Level, Fade Chen would not be fazed, as they would not be able to cause him any harm.

 

It seemed from the account of Horace Wan and Aaron Wan that the relationship between Shancus Wan and Saga He shifted throughout the years. Saga He rose over the years in prominence at the Third River Clan, and so the Wan Family became more ingratiating. The close friendly relationship turned into a situation where the Wan Family paid tribute to Saga He.

 

Saga He had not visited the Wan Family in recent years, and he probably would not make the trip just because he was angry and wanted to avenge Shancus Wan.

 

After consoling Quin Lin and her companions till they felt more at at ease, Fade Chen proceeded to cast out Aaron Wan and Horace Wan. As they had lost all skill and inner energy, they would no longer pose any threat to him.

 

Only Fade Chen and his comrades were left at the top floor of the hotel.

He took the time to make sure Tom Wei and Jimmy Wei were healed and patched up, then they left the top floor.

 

As the elevator arrived at the lobby, Fade Chen spotted police officers guarding the entrance. At their helm was none other than Sergeant Wang.

 

Sergeant Wang's heart sank at the sight of Fade Chen and his companions. He twitched in apprehension.

 

Most of Bay City's who's who, the rich and famous and the elite, were attending Howard Zhang and Quin Lin's wedding ceremony. It was an important event, and the police force were of course patrolling and on guard.

 

They were expecting an uneventful evening with no major disturbances. To their dismay, not only were there disturbances, people were killed. Howard Zhang and Shancus Wan had lost their lives.

 

And the assailant was of an unusual background. As the husband of President Lin who was President of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc and Mr Wu's honored guest, Fade Chen had been capturing the attention of many at Bay City recently.

 

Murder cases involving the elite were already a serious matter, but now that martial artists were involved, Sergeant Wang felt at a loss. Fade Chen was able to deal with and kill Shancus Wan, a martial-artist of the early-Black Level, without effort. All the ordinary members of his police force were not up to the task of confronting and dealing with him.

 

Sergeant Wang and his officers had arrived much earlier to the scene. However, due to these concerns, they decided to remain at the lobby, waiting for Fade Chen to come down.

 

Quin Lin and the others exited the elevator. As they noticed the police officers, their expressions darkened in anxiety.

 

Jimmy Wei spoke in a brusque tone. "Old Wang, it's not our fault today. The Wan Family and Zhang Family started this mess.

 

"That's right, brother Fade only acted in self-defense." Tom Wei agreed.

Sergeant Wang was vexed and felt his hand were tied. Yes maybe they were telling the truth, but people have lost their lives in this situation. How can a sergeant of a police station just let them walk away without consequences? At the same time, if he provoked them, all of his officers including him might just perish in vain.

 

Feeling these conflicting emotions, Sergeant Wang grimaced. He spoke, "Mr. Chen, you have been accused of murder, this matter.."

 

Fade Chen did not want to make life difficult for the police officers. He nodded, "I did kill someone in self-defense. I have a written confession from the relevant people who were plotting against me. They have signed it in admission of their guilt. Sergeant Wang will be able to deal with this case accordingly."

 

While speaking, Fade Chen handed over Lincoln Xie's written confession to Sergeant Wang, Sergeant Wang scanned the contents of the document and thanked him. This written confession would make his job much easier. After all, Lincoln Xie, Howard Zhang and his cohorts were plotting against Fade Chen, therefore his actions in this case were justified.

 

Chapter 169

 

Seeing Sergeant Wang accept the written confession, Fade Chen spoke. "Sergeant Wang, we are a little tired. Can we return home to rest? If you require anything else from us, let us know and we will be there in a second."

 

Seeing him being so courteous, Sergeant Wang nodded."No worries, Mr Chen. You may leave now. Thank you for your kind cooperation."

 

With these words, Sergeant Wang gestured at his subordinates to allow Fade Chen and his companions to leave.

 

As he oversaw their departure,Sergeant Wang sighed in relief. This went better than expected. At least there was a written admission complete with signatures and reliable witnesses, which would mean the matter could be settled with ease.

 

Sergeant Wang beckoned his men to return to the police station.

However, at this moment, there was the sound of a sudden commotion.

Sergeant Wang observed a troop of men in black uniform approaching. They looked as though they belonged to some special branch of the police force. Sergeant Wang became tense as they moved towards him and his cohort, speaking in frustration. "Why are they here at this time of the day? Are they looking for trouble?"

 

Fade Chen was also aware of the approaching troops. He looked on curiously, assuming they were probably some special branch of the police task force. Then, he ignored them, and began to leave with his companions.

 

The troops directly barred Fade Chen from leaving. One of them, clad in leather boots and dark glasses, spoke commandingly. "Don't move."

 

Fade Chen frowned and spoke icily. "What do you want?"

"What do I want?" The man in shades scoffed. Sizing up Fade Chen, he continued. "People have been killed. Do you really think you could just leave?"

 

Fade Chen frowned as he scrutinized the man. He started to reply.

At this moment, Sergeant Wang hurried over and tried to defuse the situation. Speaking to the man in shades with a smile, he said, "Captain Hu, our unit has investigated the matter. Mr. Chen acted in self-defense. I will make a full report with all relevant information pertaining to this case."

 

The man in shades, Captain Hu, snorted at this. "Sergeant Wang, two men have died and many have been injured. You can't just chalk it down to an act of self-defense and let everyone go. That is such negligence on your part."

 

"Also, martial artists have been implicated in this case. This falls into the jurisdiction of the Stealth Team. You and your local police officers have no authority over this matter. Now, hand over the relevant information to us." Captain Hu spoke in a pompous tone, derisive of Sergeant Wang.

 

Sergeant Wang was furious, his expression darkening. However he did not dare to disobey and show his temper. It was obvious that he was speaking to someone of a higher rank.

 

Fade Chen frowned at the man's words. He was mystified. "What is the Stealth Team?"

 

Before Sergeant Wang could respond, Captain Hu replied him in a haughty manner. "The Stealth Team is a special task force set up to deal with martial artists who flout the law like you. Your murder case falls under our jurisdiction."

 

Fade Chen understood the situation.

Due to the immense strength and extraordinary skill of the martial artists, the ordinary police force would not be able to handle the situation if they were implicated. Therefore, a special task force called The Stealth Team, was set up specifically to deal with these cases.

 

The Stealth Team members seem to consist of mostly martial artists, and they were equipped with weapons of high technology. Their skill and strength superseded even other branches of special police units. They were evidently of much higher rank than the average police officer such as Sergeant Wang.

 

Since the captain was just doing his official duty, Fade Chen was cooperative. He spoke, "I have handed over to Sergeant Wang all information relevant to the events transpired. You can take a closer look at the documents."

 

Sergeant Wang handed the written confession to Captain Hu. "Captain, it is quite clear. Mr. Chen and his companions are the victims in this case. They were forced to retaliate in self-defense."

 

Captain Hu glanced at the confession and sneered, "A retaliation in self-defense? Sergeant Wang, you can't just jump to that conclusion without any concrete proof."

 

Captain Hu looked directly at Fade Chen, speaking in command, "Come with me then, we need to investigate this further."

 

Fade Chen frowned at his words. He suppressed his annoyance, speaking without emotion. "The written admission is very clear on what had happened. We are exhausted, and need rest. If you have anything that needs further clarification, we will be happy to cooperate with you."

 

"Rest?" Captain Hu sneered. Raising his voice, he continued, "This case involves two deaths, one of them being Old Wan, a venerated elder. You must be joking!"

 

"Arrest them!" Captain Hu gestured. His Stealth team members moved forward and surrounded them, looking stern and grim.

 

Jimmy Wei was furious as he shouted, "How dare you? When the Wan Family was harassing us, you were nowhere in sight. Now after we had to defend ourselves, you are here to arrest us.

 

Tom Wei also felt his temper rising, saying, "I would not be a member of the Wei family if I was intimidated by you."

 

Upon hearing this, Captain Hu darkened in expression and his voice steeled. "Are you trying to start a fight?" he retorted.

 

In a split second, members of the Stealth team moved closer to them. Encircling them were gusts of energies. It was evident that most of them were martial artists of high level. One of them pulled out a weapon resembling a huge gun, apparently designed for battle against martial artists. The atmosphere became strained. Both sides seemed prepared for combat, waiting for someone to pull the trigger.

 

Sergeant Wang felt panic rising. Both sides were skilled and experienced fighters. If a battle really started, many would be injured and he would have to suffer dire consequences.

 

Sergeant Wang gritted his teeth and tried to be the peacemaker.

"Captain Hu, don't act impulsively, Mr. Chen and his companions were truly the victims in this circumstances. They had to defend themselves against their assailants."

 

"Mr. Chen, many apologies for the trouble. Captain Hu is just carrying out his duties. He means no harm, and if it is convenient for you, I hope you could just cooperate with us for now."

 

Captain Hu folded his arms and snorted. He obviously did not take Sergeant Wang's words seriously.

 

Fade Chen paused for a second and then nodded his head. He did not want to add to Sergeant Wang's troubles. "I will listen to you and go with you. But I would like to make a request."

 

"I killed the two men, so I am willing to go with you for further investigation. But please, let my companions leave." Fade Chen gestured to the others, in particular Quin Lin and Lily Wei.

 

Chapter 170

 

The events that had taken place that day were definitely traumatizing, as there were much violence and deaths. Jimmy Wei and Tom Wei, who were accustomed to such happenings, were unfazed. However, Quin Lin and Lily Wei, who were used to an ordinary life in the city, were obviously overwhelmed. They seemed exhausted and were in desperate need of rest.

 

Sergeant Wang was amazed at the deferential attitude of Fade Chen. Any martial artist of such high level would be incensed at such a request. They would not be so eager to cooperate as such.

 

He quickly gave Captain Hu a knowing look, hinting at him to agree.

 

However, Captain Hu who was still in his shades, raised his head slightly in condescension. He had no intention of complying with Sergeant Wang.

 

He grunted at Fade Chen, "You have absolutely no right to negotiate anything with the Stealth Team. All of you are implicated in this case. None of you are allowed to leave, including the two women."

 

With this, Captain Hu made a gesture. "Arrest them and take them away."

Instantly, members of the Stealth Team approached them to carry out the order.

 

Fade Chen's expression darkened, his eyes narrowing slightly. Fury rose in him like a burning fire.

 

He was already making so many concessions and trying to be cooperative, yet this person was relentless. Fade Chen was done with being so accommodating, and he started to feel that they were trying to take advantage of his weaknesses.

 

"Don't touch them!" Fade Chen called out. In an instant, a gust of swirling energy surged like ocean waves towards the surrounding Stealth team members, pushing them away.

 

The intensity of the turbulent energy waves were so high that Captain Hu was affected. He could not help but take a few steps back.

 

As he steadied himself, Captain Hu glared at Fade Chen. "You dare take on the Stealth team?"

 

"I don't care who you are. If you dare to hurt my wife and friends, you're looking for death!" Fade Chen's tone was dead serious, as he stressed the last two words. This had an effect on the Stealth team members, who suddenly felt fearful.

 

Captain Hu snorted, the shades hiding his vile and contemptuous expression. He had always prided himself on being a member of the Stealth Team, having such authority and power that no one dared to oppose them. Being insulted by some young immature martial artist was enough to send him into a fit of fury.

 

He suppressed his anger and spoke gravely. "How dare you threaten the Stealth Team? This is a great offense, I."

 

Fade Chen frowned. This was such a waste of time, and he was losing patience. He made a motion to strike Captain Hu, saying, "I can no longer tolerate your nonsense, step aside."

 

As Fade Chen's hand approached him, Captain Hu made a move to dodge it. He was a late Yellow Level martial-artist and was considered one of the better trained members of the team. He was confident that he would be able to avoid the incoming blow.

 

However, as he moved, something shocking happened. He had dodged the incoming blow but Fade Chen's hand chased after his face closely, as though they had a mind of their own and could read all his movements.

 

"Pow!" The blow landed with a crashing sound on his face. He flushed and his shades broke under the impact and fell to the floor, revealing his eyes which were filled with anger and shock.

 

"You dare hit me! You dare lay hands on me!" Captain Hu was delirious in anger, glaring at Fade Chen. "You will pay the price for laying hands on a member of the Stealth Team!"

 

"Arrest him! Take them all in!" Captain Hu roared.

Fade Chen snorted. Looking at the approaching Stealth Team members, he shook himself in preparation looking as though he was swelling in size, preparing to gather his inner energy. It was as though a strong gale had arisen, and the sound of thunder seemed to emerge from this ball of energy. As he launched it towards them, they were knocked down by the great impact and rolled over helplessly on the floor.

 

As Captain Hu rushed forward in attack, he gave him a powerful kick and sent him flying to the side. Fade Chen then left immediately with Quin Lin and the other companions.

 

Behind him, seeing Fade Chen and his companions walk into the distance, Captain Hu was enraged and beside himself. His fury was akin to the begin of a raging tempest. "Fade Chen, how dare you lay hands on me and go against the Stealth team. You will regret it, and I will make you pay."

 

Captain Hu got up and took out his cell phone. He dialed a number, speaking in angry command, "Search for all information on Fade Chen of Bay City. Also, I would like two extra units to be on my team in the future."

 

As he hung up, he glanced towards the direction that Fade Chen had left. Still in anger, he gritted his teeth and said, "You just wait, I will get you." Defeated, Captain Hu and his Stealth team members left.

 

Behind him, Sergeant Wang witnessed all this in anxiety and in despair. He sighed and made a call to his superior. "Clerk Zhu, I.."

 

On one side of the battle was a martial artist of the Black Level, and on the other were members of the Stealth Team. This was all beyond his governance and control.

 

After these events, Fade Chen and Quin Lin made their way back to the mansion by car.

 

After they had both taken a hot shower, Fade Chen was going to let Quin Lin take a rest. However Quin Lin looked troubled as she sat next to Fade Chen. "That Stealth team, will they really let you get away with this?"

 

Quin Lin was not familiar with the Stealth team, but she was acquainted with Sergeant Wang. She had observed that Sergeant Wang was deferential in attitude towards Captain Hu. That meant that the Stealth team was not any normal task force. She was anxious that Fade Chen might be in trouble for going against them.

 

Fade Chen embraced her and touched her cheeks. She was only clad in a sheer night gown. He smiled. "Honey, the Stealth team is unimportant. They are irrelevant to me."

 

"The Stealth team doesn't seem like something to be taken lightly, don't try to pretend it's not important." Quin Lin frowned anxiously.

 

"Honey, I'm not pretending." Fade Chen continued. Smiling at the skepticism on her face, he took out his cell phone and motioned. "Believe me, I can deal with this matter with just one phone call."

 

Quin Lin looked even more doubtful at his words.

At this moment, Fade Chen dialed a number on his phone, As the call went through, one could hear the seductive moans of a woman in the background.

"Oh, yes, oh..."

Quin Lin, who was embracing Fade Chen, blushed in embarrassment. Her expression darkened and she stared at him with an eyebrow risen.

 

"Honey, the signal here is not good. I'll go to the door." Fade Chen also felt awkward and quickly got up. At the same time, he scolded on the phone, "You dirty old man, are you still watching those island nation porn movies? Do you even have the stamina to get it up at this age?"

 

The moaning seemed to die down slightly, and an old man's voice could be heard at the other end. "Stupid bastard, I'm still virile and full of energy. Seven times a night is not a problem for me. How dare you doubt me?"

 

"Oh please, you are just bragging." Fade Chen retorted. "Well, old man, I won't waste your time. I am facing some troubles. Can you help me with these matters?"

 

Chapter 171

 

"What happened? Were you spying on a beautiful girl while she was bathing? And someone caught you in the act?" The old man grunted while speaking to Fade Chen.

 

"Old man, I'm not like you! It's the Stealth Team, I had a confrontation with them at Bay City!" Fade Chen answered.

 

Fade Chen proceeded to narrate the events to him. Hearing his words, the old man replied, "This is just a small matter. Why you do need my assistance, you can just beat them up and leave them for dead."

 

"I could easily give them a good whipping alright. But if this escalates into a bigger issue it may get you in trouble too. "Fade Chen said. "Anyways, I came down from the mountains to train and increase my inner energy, so I have to do it while maintaining a low profile."

 

"Okay, fine. I will make a call and help you sort out this matter. I will get you some identity card or birth certificate as soon as possible. Next time, try not to contact me for assistance over such trivial matters and disturb my night time pleasures. The old man sounded irritated.

 

"Old man, have some self-control. Don't turn all dry and withered when I return." Fade Chen answered and hung up.

 

Returning to the living room, he saw that his wife was also on the phone. Fade Chen eavesdropped on the conversation, realizing that it was Housekeeper Wong who was speaking to her.

 

An hour ago, Jimmy Wei had sent some men to bring Jordan Qi home and was currently undergoing check-ups at the hospital. Housekeeper Wong went to visit her son immediately once she heard the news.

 

Hearing from her that Jordan Qi was in good condition, Quin Lin sent greetings and hung up.

 

At this moment, Fade Chen thought of getting intimate with his wife, however suddenly the roaring sound of car engines could be heard outside the mansion.

 

Quin Lin was surprised. She walked to the window and looked out. Fade Chen got up and stood beside her.

 

On the road leading to the mansion, around twelve cars were roaring towards them. Quin Lin looked on fearfully.

 

From the emblem of the cars, it was clear that the Stealth Team had arrived.

Quin Lin was filled with anxiety as she spoke to Fade Chen. "You have to run, I can deal with them. They won't dare to do anything to me."

 

Fade Chen hugged Quin Lin gently. "Honey, don't worry, it's just the Stealth Team. It will be fine, they won't cause me any harm."

 

"But..." Quin Lin was still not convinced. Looking at Fade Chen with his confidence and lack of fear, she nodded. "Alright then, if they want to arrest us, I will be by your side."

 

Gazing at Quin Lin,who had a solemn expression on her lovely face, Fade Chen felt a warm surge of passion. He bent over in the spur of the moment and kissed her lips, grabbing her lightly on the waist. "We will not be caught," he assured her.

 

As they were speaking, the fleet of cars had arrived in front of their mansion. Men were getting off the cars and approaching the mansion at lightning speed. At their helm was Captain Hu.

 

Captain Hu looked sullenly at the brightly lit mansion. As he spotted Fade Chen, his eyes flashed with anger, and he gestured to his men. "Go, arrest them."

 

At once, around forty or fifty Stealth Team members made their move and rushed towards the entrance of the mansion.

 

The members in the front line was just about to smash the door when it opened by itself. Fade Chen, in his nightclothes, stood there in front of them.

 

Captain Hu ordered in a hostile tone, "Arrest him!"

The members in the front line moved towards Fade Chen.

Fade Chen remained calm and collected. "Captain Hu, what is the matter now?"

Captain Hu spoke coldly, "What matter? You are a martial artist, yet you committed murder senselessly. You also broke the law and attacked the Stealth team. I'm bringing you in to justice."

 

"Senseless murder?" Fade Chen sneered and retorted, "I submitted the evidence to you that contained the written testaments of the guilty party. You did not even examine it, and now you accuse me of senseless murder. Are you trying to frame me?"

 

"How dare you!" Captain Hu roared in anger. "You are inhumane and ruthless, and now you're trying to use me as your scapegoat. You are really asking for trouble."

 

At this moment, two members of the Stealth team moved close to the mansion from both sides of the gate. They were apprehensive and unsure of how to deal with Fade Chen since in terms of strength and skill, he was rather intimating and way above them.

 

Seeing them rather hesitant and uneasy, Captain Hu spoke angrily in command, "Why are you still standing there? Go ahead and arrest him!"

 

The two members of the Stealth team gritted their teeth and rushed toward Fade Chen. Fade Chen's eyes glinted icily. He waved his sleeves, and a gust of strong wind sent the two team members flying to the ground.

 

"How dare you..." Captain Hu shouted in fury.

 

 Before he could complete his sentence, Fade Chen sent another blast of wind his way, knocking Captain Hu to the ground. He spoke coldly. "I will spare you, so please take your men and leave. I have no interest in having a conflict with you."

 

Captain Hu had to be lifted up from the ground by a fellow member. A dark cloud hung over him, as he quivered in absolute fury. He was the respected leader of the Stealth Team, a martial artist of the late Yellow level. To be humiliated as much was something he had never experienced.

 

He was apoplectic with rage, his eyes turning scarlet red. He continued gesturing his hand to his subordinates, "Go, capture everyone in the mansion."

 

All the Stealth team members began to charge forward noisily. Some moved towards other directions, trying to get in the mansion from a window or a back door. Fade Chen even heard some members on the roof.

 

Quin Lin, who was in the mansion, was frightened by this commotion. She shriek in fear, her face turning pale from the anxiety.

 

Hearing this, Fade Chen's expression turned ice cold. He stared at Captain Hu, speaking in a hostile tone. "You are asking for trouble!"

 

"Go on, arrest them!" Captain Hu shouted and sent some members on the offensive.

 

Fade Chen snarled, and from his body emerged a terrifying blast of wind. He shook his shoulders slightly, and the gust of wind broadened and launched into the assailants with great impact. Seven or eight of the incoming assailants were sent flying to the ground.

 

Without waiting for Captain Hu to react, Fade Chen spun slightly, transforming into a mere shadow and appeared with lightning speed in front of him.

 

"What, you.." When Captain Hu saw this, he couldn't help crying out in horror. Fade Chen grabbed his throat, stifling his outcry.

 

"I told you not to harass me any further, or you have to suffer the consequences..." Fade Chen was stone cold, glaring savagely at Captain Hu.

 

At this moment, at the sight of Fade Chen's wrath, the fury in his heart was doused by ice, and in an instant was replaced by absolute terror.

 

Chapter 172

 At this instant, Fade Chen's expression was cruel and remorseless. Grim and pitiless, it was a dreadful sight to behold, and Captain Hu could not help cowering in fear. Captain Hu shuddered in terror, realizing too late that he was facing a martial-artist of the Black Level. Shancus Wan had been slain by this young man of high skill and strength.

Captain Hu had always reveled in his status as a Late Yellow Level martial artist, even if it was not as high a level as Fade Chen's. Also, as the leader of the Stealth Team, he had assumed Fade Chen would not act in insurrection. Their disparity in strength and skill was apparent, and everything that he had prided himself on had no bearings whatsoever. It was almost ludicrous.

 Ultimately he regretted his decisions and understood Sergeant Wang's intention in trying to come to compromise. After all, they were dealing with a Black-level martial-artist. Parallel to this, at Bay City's Stealth team department, Officer Qin was tense and agitated. He tapped his fingers on the table, asking, "Any news from Vice Officer Liu?

Has he managed to stop Rocky Hu?" His secretary looked up, confused at Officer Qin who was in jitters. He had posed this question less than three minutes ago. Why the need to pester?

However the secretary proceeded to check on the relevant updates, reporting, "Officer Qin, Captain Hu has arrived at Mr. Chen's mansion. Vice Officer Liu is still on the way, he said he will reach shortly.

"What! Already at the mansion!" Officer Qin stood up in alarm, looking nervous. "Rocky Hu better not cause any trouble, or sacking him ten times would not suffice." "Try contacting Rocky Hu again and restrain him from further action. Tell Vice Office Liu to hasten, he has to stop Rocky Hu before the situation gets out of hand." Officer Qin said.

The secretary carried out his instructions promptly, answering, "Captain Hu's cell phone is on silent mode and I can't reach him. Vice Officer Liu has replied that he can currently see the mansion at a distance and will arrive shortly."

"Get there in time, don't get into trouble!" Officer Qin muttered distractedly. He was still reeling from the previous phone call. The information he received was so mind-blowing, he was stunned in disbelief. It took him a few seconds before he could recover from it.

It was beyond his comprehension that such a legendary character could exist in such a small town like Bay City. To receive a phone call from such upper-level authorities was unthinkable. Another thought crossed his mind.

If Rocky Hu offended Mr. Chen, not only would he lose his job and title, he might even lose his life! At this, Officer Qin became even more agitated and distressed. He began to urge the secretary again. "Can you find out once more if Vice Officer Liu has arrived?" Silent and confused, the secretary immediately contacted Vice Officer Liu via cell phone. "Vice Officer Liu, Officer Qin asked if you have reached your destination?"

On the other side, Vice Officer Liu was getting off the car outside the mansion. Clutching the phone, he ran towards the mansion, panting. "I'm here, I'm here, rest assured Officer Qin, I will stop Rocky Hu immediately."

At this moment, in the courtyard of the mansion, Rocky Hu was still in the grip of Fade Chen, slowly losing his breath With an icy expression, Fade Chen released him and threw him to the ground. He then turned around and walked back towards the mansion.

Rocky Hu fell, gasping and panting. He looked on as Fade Chen left, feeling a whirlwind of emotions. He wanted revenge, but recalling Fade Chen's cruel and remorseless expression, he felt his heart lurch and could not bring himself to command his men to continue the attack. "Captain, captain, are you all right?

A team member helped Rocky Hu up and asked, "Captain, what is your next command?"

"We.." Rocky Hu was hesitant, deciding whether to continue with the attack or retreat. At this moment, the sound of heavy footsteps could be heard coming towards them. "Stop, all of you, stop." Rocky Hu turned his head at the sound, and saw that it was his superior, Vice Officer Liu. Shocked, he spoke, "Vice Officer Liu, what are you doing here?"

"You're in trouble." Vice Officer Liu spoke in a low tone and glared at Rocky Hu. He walked in great strides towards Fade Chen and said, "Mr. Chen, good evening. I am Bay City Stealth Team department's vice officer, Yosef Liu." Rocky Hu was puzzled at Vice Officer Liu's arrival. He became even more confused with Vice Officer Liu's deferential attitude towards Fade Chen

Fade Chen stopped. Sizing up the middle-aged man in front of him who was sweating profusely, he said, "Are you here to arrest me too?" Yosef Liu's expression changed. He quickly gestured his hand to deny this, "No, no, of course not. What happened before was all a misunderstanding. I was specifically tasked to send you this, Mr. Chen." "What's this?" Fade Chen looked at the small package in Yosef Liu's hands and immediately thought of the old man on the phone just now. He had promised to get him an identity card or certificate. Fade Chen nodded and without emotion, he said, "Bring it over.

" Yosef Liu respectfully handed him the package and Fade Chen opened it. Inside, to his surprise, was a Stealth Team special unit badge, and on it was his name. His new identity was to be the special unit instructor of the Stealth team.

Moreover, because the Stealth team organization was part of the military, Fade Chen was given the corresponding rank. He looked at it and saw that he was ranked as General At the sight of this, Fade Chen was speechless. He had told the old man that he had ran afoul of the Stealth team, and now the old man had provided him these Stealth Team identifications.

He was officially a Stealth Team member, and he was frankly baffled by this turn of events. Yosef Liu looked at Fade Chen, not daring to breathe in the fear of offending this important and mysterious personage. As Fade Chen kept the documents, he sighed in relief, his throbbing heartbeat calming down slightly. "Mr. Chen, the Stealth team is to be blamed for this incident.

If Mr. Chen would like them to be reprimanded, we will be happy with any form of punishment." Yosef Liu spoke in deference. He pulled Rocky Hu over, saying sternly, "What are you waiting for, apologize to Mr. Chen!" Rocky Hu was at a loss, but he had no choice but to lower his head, speaking reluctantly, "I apologize Mr. Chen, for offending you. Please punish me."

Fade Chen looked at Vice Officer Liu, who was tense and worried, he glanced back at his Stealth team identification documents. He sighed silently. Since he was now a part of the team, these were his men now. He had to be the bigger person and let bygones be bygones..

Chapter 173

 So, Fade Chen said, "I'll let it go this time. I won't let you off the hook if there is ever a next time." When he said this, Fade Chen sounded threatening and ominous, forcing everyone else around him to break into a cold sweat "Thank you so much, Mr. Chen.

If you need your assistance in the future, just let us know." Vice Officer Liu took note of his tone and quickly bowed to express his gratitude. He tried to make Rocky Hu do the same thing. "Alright, I still need to rest. You can go now." Fade Chen waved his hand, signalling them to leave. Vice Officer Liu hurriedly led Rocky Hu and all the members of the team to leave, acting as though he was just spared from death The way they left contrasted greatly with how they first arrived: loud, rude and relentless.

Now, they did not dare to make small talk and briskly left because they were on edge. After all, they would not want to risk making Fade Chen angry again. As the car drove further and further away from the villa until it was no longer seen, only then did Yosef Liu manage to gain his marbles. He unbuttoned the button on the top of his collar, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and gasped frantically for breath.

Seeing Yosef Liu's behavior, Rocky Hu, who was seated beside him, was somewhat puzzled and unconvinced at the same time. Hence, he asked, "Vice Officer Liu, why are you being so lenient towards that brat? He's just.."

"Slap!" Vice Officer Liu landed a slap on Rocky Hu's face and said threateningly, "Watch your mouth." Rocky Hu was stunned and looked at Vice Officer Liu with disbelief. Vice Officer Liu sighed softly. He looked at Rocky Hu and said, "Don't blame me for being harsh. I'm the one who brought you up, so I'm doing this for your own good."

"But, I." Rocky Hu was still confused. Vice Officer Liu said, "Do you know why I rushed here? "Wasn't it to pass something over?" Rocky Hu asked. "Then do you know who asked me to do that?" Vice Officer Liu asked. Rocky Hu thought for a moment and said, "It was Officer Qin." In Bay City, other than Vice Officer Liu, Officer Qin was the most influential figure in the Stealth Team. Vice Officer Liu snorted and said, "Officer Qin?

He is not qualified to do that. Did you get a look of what I was sending?" "It looked like a certificate from the Stealth Team!" Rocky Hu couldn't see it clearly. "Is Fade Chen a member of us too?" "He is indeed a member of Stealth, but he is different from us."

 Vice Officer Liu said, "Let me tell you, half an hour ago, the Stealth headquarters directly called Officer Qin and asked him to specially take care of the certificate for Mr Chen." "What? Stealth headquarters!" Rocky Hu was surprised. "Wait, isn't that someone from Capital City? Could it be that Fade Chen is a young master from one of the rich families in Capital City?

Vice Officer Liu also had some doubts, but he shook his ----- head and said, "A person from a rich family in Capital City? Apart from those really prestigious families that are at the top of Capital City, no one would be able to get into the Stealth team that easily, and in such a short period of time too." "If he doesn't belong to one of the rich families of Capital city, then he'.."

Rocky Hu's eyes widened, there could only be one possible explanation left. Vice Officer Liu sighed and said, "Let's stop speculating here. If he's one of the big shots, we're even more so not in the position to guess his true identity. You just need to know one thing, stay away from him."

 "Luckily I came in time just now. If I arrived one second later and you had already chose to engage in a fight with Mr Chen, our Stealth subteam in Bay City would be finished. We wouldn't even be able to do anything then." Vice Officer Liu said with a sense of relief. A chill ran down Rocky Hu's spine when he heard those words.

In fact, he had already ordered his men to arrest Fade Chen, just that they were unsuccessful. When he was being strangled by Fade Chen, he thought he was a goner for sure, but he was saved in the nick of time. Rocky Hu was naive in thinking that Fade Chen couldn't actually do anything to him. After all, he was a member of the Stealth team. But in hindsight, especially after Vice Officer Liu's words, he realized his thinking was foolish beyond measure.

Somebody who could order for the annihilation of the whole Stealth team of Bay City wouldn't hesitate to end him, there and then He instinctively touched his neck, grateful that he was still alive, since he had barely managed to save his neck!

In the villa, Quin Lin, who was extremely nervous, was looking through the window trying to figure out the situation outside. The last thing she saw was the figure of the intruders leaving with their tails between their legs, seemingly looking frightful and even respectful. She was puzzled. "Dear, they are gone. It's all right."

Fade Chen closed the door with a smile and walked in. He threw the identification documents on the sofa and then walked toward Quin Lin cheekily. Quin Lin still was still reeling from the fear of the aftermath, and her face was slightly pale. "Is it really okay? The matter with Shancus Wan..." Fade Chen smiled and assured, "Don't worry, it's really okay. They will handle everything."

As he spoke, Fade Chen approached Quin Lin and gently wrapped his arms around her slender waist. His lips were inches from her ear as he whispered, "My dear wife, you don't look very well. You must be tired, why don't I give you a massage?" At the notion of a massage, Quin Lin was immediately reminded of that embarrassing moment where he gave her a massage. She resisted and slid out of Fade Chen's arms and said, "It's okay, I'm going back to my room to get some rest."

"Then I'm going too, my dear wife." Fade Chen followed behind her with a grin. However, as soon as he took a step forward, his wife turned around and stared at him seriously. "Don't forget our promise." Fade Chen sighed and could only back off, waving his hand in a gesture of bidding good night. Then, he went into his room and slept soundly. On the second floor, Quin Lin, who had returned to her room, sat on the edge of the bed, and went through all the things that happened today.

 

She felt that everything seemed to be surreal, as if it was a dream. She was being forced to marry and at one point was at the edge of despair; she also witnessed an incredible battle between warriors, after which she saw someone die in front of her eyes.

 

All these things made Quin Lin realize that Fade Chen seemed to be very powerful and much more mysterious than she had imagined He was only in his early twenties, but he managed to kill Shancus Wan, who came from a family of martial artists. In the face of the special Stealth team, Fade Chen showed no sign of fear, even having the Vice Officer come apologize to him for their mistake.

 

Moreover, the documents that he casually threw on the sofa just now also seemed to have a symbol resembling the Stealth's logo and military rank. "Is Fade Chen a soldier?" "But looking at his frivolous and lecherous character, he doesn't look like a soldier." "Why did he appear in my life?" "Could there be some special motive?" "Maybe I am thinking too much.

 After all, Fade Chen has been helping me for the past few months. This time, he even killed people out of anger for me." As her thoughts ran wild in her head, Quin Lin felt exhausted and fell asleep in no time..

 

Chapter 174

Fade Chen rested well for a night. The next day, what happened that night spread like wildfire throughout Bay City The staggering news were like heavy explosives, dropping down in the quiet Bay City and causing an explosion that woke up every being living there. People who woke up early were shocked by the news on the newspaper, TV, and the Internet. Any signs of sleepiness and grogginess were gone in an instant.

The widely- anticipated wedding between Howard Zhang and Quin Lin or President Lin was ruined last night. Moreover, the groom Howard Zhang was even beaten to death During the wedding, the Wan Family took action, but in the end, all three generations of the current Wan Family had fallen. The head of the family, who had not shown up for more than ten years, died on the spot.

His successors, Aaron Wan and Wan Hui were both completely destroyed. Nobody could imagine that a martial arts family as affluent as them could be wiped out overnight. And the movement of Wan family this morning, indicating their relocation to somewhere else fortified the authenticity of the news. In addition to this, the redistribution of company stock also caused a stir in the business circle of Bay City. Hans Real Estate, Shang Enterprises Holdings and Xie's Wine Enterprise all transferred 51 percent of their shares to Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc without a catch.

The scale of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc instantly expanded several fold, adding on to their merging with Galaxy Plaza recently Almost overnight, Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc had become the undisputed giant of Bay City, and this encompassed all areas in the vicinity. The businessmen paid attention to business, while the ordinary netizens paid more attention to all kinds of gossip and jaw-dropping news, especially those regarding Howard Zhang and Old Wan's demise at Fade Chen's hands.

 Although only bits and pieces of this news were found online, it still shook the whole city to its core. Everybody was marveled yet fearful of the person behind this At the same time, the news that Fade Chen had altercated with the Stealth Team also got out onto the net.

Although the authenticity of the news was doubted, nobody doubted Fade Chen's sphere of power and frightening combat capability that even triumphed against special forces such as the Stealth team. For some time, Fade Chen seemed to be talk of the town, everybody was trying to figure out this enigmatic youngster.

It had only been a few months since he came to Bay City, but what he had done had shocked everyone. He married Quin Lin, invented the Life Elixir Wine, stumped Long Enterprise, defeated the Wan Family, and even forced the Stealth team to retreat...

Everyone, especially young netizens, were dying to idolize Fade Chen after gossip about him broke out in town. After all, he was mysterious, had a strong combat ability, a beautiful wife and a rich background - basically what everyone was longing for all their lives.

As a result, news of Fade Chen's deeds spread quickly. There were also some netizens who called Fade Chen as "Lunatic Chen" due to his seemable crazy actions and superhuman strength. Soon, his nickname spread quickly on the internet.

When Fade Chen saw this news, he was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect that he would become a popular online celebrity. Even those renowned live streaming companies were clambering after him to sign him for their platform's live-stream services. "Well, fate has unexpected things in store!" Fade Chen sighed and switched off the computer. Almost immediately, his mobile phone rang.

 Fade Chen noted the caller as Momo Soo upon checking the caller ID, so he covered his ear uneasily and answered the phone. As expected, as soon as the phone was connected, Momo Soo's excited voice exploded from the other side of the phone. "Brother-in-law, do you know? You are so popular on the Internet, even having a nickname called Lunatic Chen.

 Now everyone is talking about you. You..." "Brother-in-law, why aren't you saying anything! What actually happened between you and my sister? What's the deal with the wedding last night? You guys never tell me anything.." "Also, brother-in-law, are you really that skilled? Some people on the internet even said that you can already be called a martial arts Grand Master.

  They also said that you are the youngest Grand Master, the beacon of hope for the future of Chinese Martial Arts..." He had to endure Momo Soo's barrage of questions before getting the chance to end the conversation. He tried his best to explain to her and was finally able to cover up what had happened last night. After that, Fade Chen hung up the phone with a sigh of relief. ---- However, as soon as Momo Soo's call ended, his phone rang furiously again. Fade Chen gave a wry smile and answered the phone, also answering the same questions. In the end, Fade Chen was basically on the phone all morning trying to explain and clear things up. His wife, Quin Lin, also suffered the same fate.

However she was more straightforward, rejecting any irrelevant calls before beginning to deal with the company's business immediately. After all, Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc had acquired so many businesses in a short time, so there were a lot of things to deal with Such unwanted attention persisted for almost three days until everything finally started to die down.

 However, Lunatic Chen's name was now a household name in Bay City. The spread of news had no sign of stopping, instead spreading further to other cities like cracks appearing in a porcelain jar. During these three days, a lot of things happened.

 The Wan Family moved out of Bay City with the speed of light, but no one knew where they settled down. After the Wan Family was out of the picture, Long Enterprise, which was originally the biggest enterprise in North Bay City, was now the biggest enterprise too in Bay City. While Long Enterprise was just expanding their territory southwards, Uncle Wel, or more widely known as Jimmy Wei announced an astonishing news...

 He decided to resign from the position of chairman of Long Enterprise and instead give way to his successor, Tom Wei, while he went into retirement. Everyone did not understand why Uncle Wei was so rash, but Fade Chen knew that Jimmy Wei was determined to go out and make a name for himself. After being motivated by Huang Xiaobiao last time, he had been given a wake-up call and decided to further improve his skills.

 As for company-wise, Quin Lin quickly managed to take control and pump up the internal workings of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc. At the same time, after she took over several major shares of the company, she also actively ventured into industries outside of cosmetics in a mission to expand the business of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc even more. In particular, Quin Lin was also actively preparing for the mass production of Life Elixir Wine after she received 51% of the shares of Xie's Wine Enterprise.

 This was a big turnaround from her initial plan to stay out of the production After all, the reason for this decision was that the Xie Family had taken a fancy to the business potential of Life Elixir Wine and wanted to monopolize the market for their own good. Quin Lin did not know much about Life Elixir Wine before, but after the incident with the Xie Family, she had been carefully researching about it and suddenly realized that she had completely underestimated the magical effect of this product and its untapped, blue ocean market.

 If this was being developed in a large scale, the Life Elixir Wine could definitely develop into a huge commercial market that could even rival the current market size of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc. After burying herself in these matters for five days, Quin Lin finally could catch a break, but she suddenly thought of a person, her elder brother Jeremy Lin..

 

Chapter 175

Jeremy Lin had previously colluded with Howard Zhang to deceive and force Quin Lin to sign the engagement agreement. After being driven away by Fade Chen, he had been with Howard Zhang. But at the evening of the wedding, Jeremy Lin was nowhere to be seen. So many days had passed with no news of him, as if he had disappeared off the face of the earth Although Quin Lin was very disappointed with Jeremy Lin because of the marriage incident, she still hoped to know his whereabouts.

 

After all, he was her elder brother Therefore, she sent someone to investigate it, but the results surprised her. Jeremy Lin, who had been with Howard Zhang, had disappeared into thin air a week before the wedding. At that time, Jeremy Lin had fallen out of favor with Howard Zhang.

 

In addition, Howard Zhang had already been acquainted with Leonard Zhu and Horace Wan, so naturally, he had lost all interest in Jeremy Lin who was just a good for-nothing playboy, and left him behind. Jeremy Lin had tried to get in touch with Howard Zhang and the others several times because he had some financial issues. However, after being sent away by Howard Zhang impatiently, he never showed his face anymore. It was not until the night of the wedding that Howard Zhang had remembered him again and was planning to invite him to come to his wedding ceremony.

 

After all, he was also Quin Lin's brother. But after trying to contact him, he found out that Jeremy Lin was already gone like the wind. Howard Zhang tried looking for him in his circle but to no avail, and soon he was swiftly forgotten again, being stuffed away like a broken, unused ragdoll into the recesses of Howard Zhang's mind.

 

After hearing the news, Quin Lin was obviously a little disappointed, but she did not waste too much time on this. She just instructed some people to keep an eye on Jeremy Lin's news, and then continued to devote herself to work. While his wife had become a workaholic, Fade Chen found a lot of leisure time. He no longer had to clock in to the company's medical room every day, since it was sufficient for him to drop by once in a while. He had made Jordan Qi the managing director for the Life Elixir wine factory to oversee its production line. Fade Chen was only disturbed from time to time when the factory had some issues.

 

After Uncle Wei had quit Long Enterprise, he made some preparations and left Bay City to go off for an adventure. Since Tom Wei had taken over Long Enterprise completely, his daily life was much busier, no longer able to play around like before. Fade Chen's boring days did not last long. Soon, something came to his attention.

 

It turned out that it was winter break currently, and Bay City University was on break. The pretty duo Momo Soo and Yuri Zhang did not go back home immediately. Instead, they came to Quin Lin's villa, chilling there for two days. They had planned for a business trip and wanted to invite Fade Chen and Quin Lin to tag along. After inquiring, Fade Chen found out that it was Yuri Zhang's company who had received a marketing advertisement job for tourist spots.

 

This could make Yuri Zhang's winter break meaningful as she had work to do. The tourist spot was located in Hanover City, the neighboring city. It was a hot spring area, which was relatively special and was a suitable job for Yuri Zhang, a novice in the advertising industry. While Yuri Zhang needed to work, Momo Soo tagged along to accompany her and at the same time unwind herself in the hot spring. On the other hand, one of her seniors was staying in Hanover City, who had been inviting her to visit Hanover City tirelessly. Momo Soo was looking forward to have a fun vacation in Hanover City with her senior after Yuri Zhang finished up her job.

 

When two girls were going out like this, it was inevitable that they would be worried about their safety. So they naturally thought of Fade Chen, a professional nicknamed "Lunatic Chen", to come along. They asked Fade Chen and Quin Lin out in no time to ask for this favor.

 

On the other hand, Quin Lin, who had been busy with business matters all this while, turned down the invitation after hearing about it. Alas, Fade Chen ended up being the one accompanying the pretty duo Momo Soo and Yuri Zhang on this exciting hot spring trip After packing light, the trio brought with them their luggage and headed to the tourist spot in a hurry. The scenic area was already in the suburbs adjacent to Bay City, so it was not far away. It took less than four hours to get there.

 

After arriving shortly, they planned to take it easy on the first day. However, the advertisement director invited by the public security bureau was already there, waiting for Yuri Zhang. So after a simple lunch, she was quickly engulfed in her shoot. Fade Chen and Momo Soo followed her out of curiosity. Because it was a commercial advertisement for the scenic area, the basic scenes that showcased the allure and charisma of that area were captured by Yuri Zhang. She had to be quick because she had other sceneries to work on in other areas.

 

Fade Chen didn't think much of how advertisements were created, but after witnessing her work, only then he realized the difficulty in creating a good advertisement. A simple picture of a person standing on a hilltop, stretching out their hands against the breeze was unexpectedly hard to capture perfectly. The whole process was repeated more than ten times, but the result was still not satisfying. Sometimes the wind was blowing in the wrong direction, sometimes the angle was not good, and in other cases lighting was the problem.

 

After spending more than three hours, Yuri Zhang only managed to finish capturing two scenes. She was a dedicated employee so this was nothing new for her. However, this was not the case for Momo Soo who tagged along, who was so tired that her legs were starting to buckle with fatigue. Another hour dragged on before they were finally able to wrap up all three scenery shots.

 

Momo So couldn't wait to meet up with Yuri Zhang after her work since they were planning to unwind in the hot spring. Unfortunately, the director said that there was a shot that needed to be taken at night. The weather and lighting was suitable for that shoot, and they wanted to avoid the risk that they couldn't shoot this scene tomorrow if the weather was sub-par. So she had to wait again. ---- Yuri Zhang was the soft-spoken type and dedicated to her work. Since the director had decided this, there was no reason for her to say no.

 

Momo Soo and Fade Chen wanted to go with her, but Yuri Zhang stopped them when she saw how tired Momo Soo was. It was a long day for her. She urged Momo Soo and Fade Chen to return to their hotel to take a rest. The two of them followed her the whole afternoon, and there were no major issues during the whole process. The director's team was relatively professional, so they didn't have to worry too much.

 

Knowing this, they had a good rest to their heart's content in the hotel. After having dinner in the hotel, the two of them naturally didn't want to miss out on the most famous hot spring in the vicinity. Hence, while carrying a change of clothes, they headed to the hot spring behind the hotel. Since the whole tourist spot was reserved for the shoot and not open to public, there were no other people in the hotel. The only ones there were Momo Soo and Fade Chen. They entered the men's and women's area respectively, then took off all their clothes and soaked themselves in the hot spring water.

 

The warm spring water washed over Fade Chen's skin while a light sulfuric odor wafted to his nose from time to time. Even though he was not exactly exhausted, the refreshing feeling coming from the warm water definitely was a welcoming sensation that slowly sucked away the remaining fatigue in his body. Not long after Fade Chen closed his eyes to enjoy the solitude, he heard the scream of Momo Soo.

 

His eyes shot open at the piercing sound and he shouted in the direction of the women's area, "Momo, what's wrong?" There was a brief moment of silence on the other end, and then came Momo Soo's somewhat shy voice. "Brother-in law, I dropped my clothes. Can you help me pick them up?".

 

Chapter 176

"Huh?" After hearing this, Fade Chen was stunned, his mind was processing what he just heard. "Since you dropped your clothes, you should have no problems picking them up, there's no need to ask me for my help! Unless... As he was thinking about the possibilities, Fade Chen felt himself getting hotter and his eyes became redder. Momo Soo's voice broke his train of thoughts. "Brother-in law, my clothes have drifted to your side. Did you see it?' "Huh.." Fade Chen looked down and saw a small pink garment bobbing up and down along with the flow of water.

 

It had seemingly floated through the gap under the wooden fence on the left side to his side. Seeing this, Fade Chen only realized that the man and the woman's hot spring were originally one. But now, a wooden railing was built in the middle, dividing and separating them into two hot springs. "Brother-in-law, did you see it?" Momo Soo didn't get any reply from Fade Chen and asked again.

 

Fade Chen snapped out of his trance and replied, "Yes, did." Immediately, he walked to the left side of his area and picked up the pink garment. Fade Chen couldn't help but feel the fabric of the garment, gently rubbing them a few times. Indeed, it was premium quality. "Brother-in-law, can you return me my clothes." Momo Soo reminded him again.

 

Fade Chen was startled by her voice. He coughed and said, "How can I pass it to you? Why don't I throw it over." "Brother-in-law, please don'.." Momo Soo panicked. "It'll be bad if you throw it out of the hot spring and it becomes dirty." "Well, then how am I supposed to pass it to you?" Fade Chen murmured but his mind was already drifting to wild thoughts. "Maybe Momo wants me to pass it to her in person, but doesn't that mean.."

 

"Brother-in-law, you, you can sneak it under the wooden fence to me." While Fade Chen was still imagining the possibilities, Momo Soo's voice had interrupted his thoughts again. Fade Chen slapped his head, trying to force himself out of his silly thoughts. Since the clothes had slipped in through the gap from the women's side, he could naturally do so from his side as well.

 

 So, Fade Chen answered, "Well you can come near the wooden fence to pick it up." The sound of moving water from the other side could be heard, signalling somebody was approaching the wooden fence. Through the gap of the fence, he faintly saw a slim figure. "Brother-in-law, I'm here. Are you here?" "Yes, I'm here!" Fade Chen replied quickly.

 

Then, he squeezed her clothes through the crack. "Momo, do you see it?" "Huh, I didn't see anything." Momo Soo said. Fade Chen took a closer look and found that in order to avoid peeping toms, two wooden railings were built in the middle of the fences. There were still some distance before he could reach the other side of the fence, so just using an arm wasn't enough. "This wooden fence has two layers, so my hand is not long enough. You should come closer and reach out your hand to catch it," Fade Chen said. He had practically glued himself to the fence, struggling to extend his arm to reach her. On top of that, the gap size was already quite small.

 

Fade Chen had difficulty in squeezing his arm through, and was currently pushing forward whatever length of his arm he could fit in there by force. He was already at his limit, his arm turning red from the lack of blood circulation in the tight space. He asked, "Momo, can you reach my hand?" The figure on the other side of the wooden fence shifted a little, then came Momo Soo's voice again. "Brother-in-law, can feel my clothes, but I still can't grab it, can you stretch even further?" "Okay, let me try!" Fade Chen could only grit his teeth and stretched even more.

 

He increased his strength and finally managed to squeeze his whole arm through, his whole arm turning as red as a lobster from the force. On the other side, Momo Soo sounded pleasantly surprised, "Brother- in-law, can finally touch it." "Great, I.." Fade Chen said as he loosened his grip, trying to hand the undergarments to Momo Soo. Unfortunately, in that split second, the wooden fence cracked loudly as it couldn't handle Fade Chen's strength, splitting clean in the middle. "Crack!" The fence on Momo Soo's side also gave away from the pressure.

 

Before Fade Chen could react, the two blocks of wood fell down without a warning, water splashing everywhere. Momo Soo couldn't help but let out a shriek. Fade Chen instinctively rushed over and asked with concern, "Momo, you didn't get hit, did you?" "No!" Momo Soo patted her chest with some lingering fear. Amidst their short conversation, the ruckus died down and their sight cleared up. The minute they saw each other, the atmosphere suddenly became awkwardly silent.

 

Fade Chen was enjoying himself in the hot spring comfortably just now, so he naturally didn't have anything on him at all. He was stark naked, his hand holding a pink small shirt. On the other hand, Momo Soo had originally wrapped a towel around her. However, due to the commotion just now, she was so astonished that she forgot to hold onto the towel, which was already lying in a heap on the ground. Faced with such a desire-inducing scene, Fade Chen couldn't help but gulp, his eyes slightly bloodshot as he scanned her from the top to the bottom hungrily, Momo Soo was still reeling from the confusion just now.

 

While she finally came to her senses, she gave a squeal when her eyes locked with Fade Chen's eyes. She immediately squatted down to hide herself in the water. She had never expected the stones under her feet to be smooth and slippery. Her sudden motion caused her to lose her footing, and she slipped into the spring water. She was flailing in the water and panicked, "Cough, save me, cough." Fade Chen snapped back into reality and moved without thinking. He hurried over and stretched out his arms to grab Momo Soo before she sunk further, pulling her from under the water and into his embrace. This smooth motion caused the two of them to feel each other through their skins, bare and naked in the water. Momo Soo's cheeks immediately turned red, especially when she saw Fade Chen still holding her clothes tightly in his hand. "Brother-in-law, I'm fine. Let me go." Momo Soo's face wash ruddy, and her voice was soft and low.

 

Hearing this, Fade Chen's face couldn't help but blush too. He coughed dryly, quickly released Momo So, and then turned around They had never thought that at this moment, the sound of footsteps scurrying outside followed by a young waitress voice could be heard, "Guests, did anything happen? Are you all okay? Do you need me to come in?" Momo Soo was startled. It would be crazy to let anybody get a glimpse of this scene, so she hurriedly shouted, "No, it s fine.

 

Don't come in, please don't." When the young waitress heard her voice, she couldn't help but worry, a sense of confusion tugging at her heart. There were sign of distress in the guest's voice, so did something bad happened to her?

 

Besides, they heard something fall down just now and were wondering what could make such a loud noise With a worrying expression on her face, the young waitress approached to take a look inside. At the same instant, an elderly waitress came over, grabbed the young waitress, and said, "Don't go in." "Team Leader, but the guests.." The young waitress looked anxious. The old waitress said, "The two guests checked in together, ---- and their relationship is intimate. Do you know that?" "I know! But it sounded like something collapsed just now.

 

I think it is the wooden fence." The young waitress was still worried. The old waitress' eyes flashed and she said earnestly, "Some guests like to play it rough. These kinds of things have happened before, so don't disturb them." "What do you mean by play rough?" The young waitress was confused at first, but soon understood what she meant. She blushed, lowered her head, and said, "I understand.

 

I have something else to do now, I'll go now." The team leader nodded, and then looked in the direction of the hot spring. She sighed softly and said, "The young people nowadays are too wild. They actually managed to knock down the wooden railings! Don't you know how to control yourself?" After saying so, the team leader sighed and left..

 

Chapter 177

The voices of the team leader and the young waitress were not loud, but at this moment, the area was isolated with there was no one else nearby. In addition, it was a quiet night, so Momo Soo and Fade Chen had both overheard the whole conversation.

 

Their expressions changed in an instant. Momo Soo who was already blushing furiously wanted to bury herself in a ditch after hearing the whole exchange of words. Fade Chen coughed a few times and said, "It's getting late, I've bathed long enough. I'll go back first."

 

Fade Chen stood up and was ready to exit the spring. But just as he stood up, he suddenly realized that he was stark naked. The wooden railings were gone and there was nothing covering him. Momo Soo could see everything. Therefore, Fade Chen could only pick up a piece of clothing to cover his private parts, and then quickly ran away Next to him, Momo Soo was looking down at her reflection in the water. She was too embarrassed to look elsewhere.

 

But in the corner of her field of vision, she could still see the silhouette of Fade Chen escaping, which made her feel even more embarrassed. Fifteen minutes after Fade Chen returned to his room, Momo Soo also came back. When they met each other in the corridor, they didn't mention the events from just now and changed the topic. Fade Chen looked at his watch and said, "It's getting late. Yuri's shoot should be finished soon. I'll go pick her up." "I'll go with you." Momo Soo said. Thus, both of them walked into the night side by side.

 

It was a tourist attraction platform halfway up the mountain, and one could see the mountains and the vast night sky behind it. It was a good spot for sightseeing, and it was Yuri Zhang's location for the shoot. However, when Momo Soo and Fade Chen arrived the platform, Yuri Zhang and the directors were nowhere to be seen.

 

Only a few workers were busy with the wrapping up of the scene. Seeing this, Fade Chen couldn't help but frown and asked a worker, "Hello, may I ask where the person in charge of the advertisement shoot is?" The worker glanced at Fade Chen and said, "The advertisement shoot wrapped up half an hour ago. Are you here to get a look at the celebrities? If so, you're late. You'll have to come earlier next time."

 

"What? It's finished?" Fade Chen had a feeling that something was wrong Momo Soo also noticed that something was wrong and hurriedly asked, "Do you know where the celebrity who shot the advertisements went?" The worker shook his head and said, "I'm not sure. I did see the celebrity and the director leaving together by car.

 

They seemed to have gone downhill." "They left together? Could it be that after they finished filming, they went down the mountain to celebrate?" Momo oo guessed. Fade Chen didn't think so.

 

He shook his head and said, "I don't think so. According to the plan, there are at least three more locations left to shoot at. Even if they wanted to celebrate, they would've chosen to celebrate tomorrow after everything is done, not today." "Well." Momo Soo frowned and took out her mobile phone. "I'll call Yuri and ask her about it." There was a sound coming from the receiver. After a while, Momo Soo put down her phone, shook her head at Fade Chen, and said, "Her phone is off."

 

 Fade Chen had a growing sense of restlessness. Something was wrong. He said, "I'll go down the mountain to look for them." "I'm going too." Momo Soo was quick to follow. Fade Chen tried to persuade her to stay, "It's not easy to traverse the dark mountain roads. Momo, there's no need for you to risk your safety. To be honest, it'll be faster if I'm on my own." Momo Soo still wanted to say something, but after hearing Fade Chen's words, she nodded and said, "Then, I'll go back to the hotel and wait for your good news." "Okay, take care of yourself."

 

Fade Chen said. Then, he separated with Momo Soo and quickly went down the mountain. With Fade Chen's strength, crossing the small hill of no more than a few hundred meters high was as easy as walking on the flat pavement. In less than five minutes, he had covered the distance from the mountainside to the foot of the mountain. Compared to the stillness of the mountain, the foot of the mountain was obviously much more lively.

 

There were all kinds of gift shops, motels, hotels and restaurants along the tourist street that were built along the foot of the mountain. The dazzling lights that hung around the area brightened up the dreary night and brought fun for the people living there.

 

Fade Chen glanced around and his eyes fell directly on the most luxurious restaurants and hotels on the streets. After all, the director and his people would probably choose somewhere decent to celebrate. Fade Chen went to all the hotels and restaurants one by one to ask the waiters there if they had seen Yuri Zhang, even showing them her picture on his phone. Since the director and his team stood out, people would probably still remember their faces if they had seen them.

 

Fortunately, the area was restricted and closed off to the public for a few days, so there weren't many people and tourists. Fade Chen soon found out about Yuri Zhang's whereabouts. A waiter of a restaurant said that just ten minutes ago, she saw Yuri Zhang and the director entering the extravagant hotel diagonally across the street.

 

The male director was in his forties, his hair was braided up and had a pair of sunglasses on. He was a little imposing and left a great impression on the waiter. Fade Chen immediately rushed to the hotel after receiving this news. At the front desk of the hotel, Fade Chen showed the receptionist Yuri Zhang's photo and asked her, "This girl is in your hotel now. May I know where she is?"

 

The receptionist looked at Fade Chen with a startled face, her eyes suddenly flashing with guilty. She shook her head and said, "I don't know. She is not here." Fade Chen frowned and immediately grabbed the receptionist's hand who was secretly reaching for the phone.

 

Then he said coldly, "What are you doing?" "Nothing. I'm just." the receptionist's voice was full of panic Fade Chen took out his Stealth team's documents and military ranks and showed them to the receptionist, threatening eerily, "Are you sure you want to lie to me?" As soon as she saw the documents, the receptionist was wide-eyed and quickly said, "The girl is in room number 203. "Who else is in there?" Fade Chen asked menacingly, in which the receptionist replied, "There seems to be a group of directors in there, and Master Guo is also here." "Master Guo?" Fade Chen frowned.

 

The receptionist quickly explained, "Master Guo's name is Haldon Guo. His father, Dominic Guo, is a big shot in the Hanover City entertainment business. Master Guo is very famous in the Hanover City showbiz." "The entertainment business and the directors..." After connecting the dots, Fade Chen had a general idea on the reason why the directors brought Yuri Zhang down the mountains.

 

 Instantly, his aura turned eyes gave an ominous look as he walked towards room 203. "You'd better make sure Yuri is fine. Otherwise, I don't care if you're Master Guo or not, ll make you pay the price!" Before he reached room 203, Fade Chen heard some laughter coming from inside the room.

 

"Miss Zhang, are you not showing some respect for Master Guo?" "Miss Zhang, Director Dong is giving you a chance to be acquainted with Master Guo. You have to remember his kindness!" "That's right, Young Zhang.

 

In our business, connections are everything. I don't have to elaborate more on who Master Guo is. You should know that he's a big shot that rarely extends their offer to others." "Miss Yuri, I, Haldon Guo, am good at nothing except for making celebrities legends. I can say with full confidence that I'm an expert at this".

 

Chapter 178

 "Miss Zhang, since Master Guo approves of you so much, you should drink a toast to him," suggested Director Hendrik Dong Yuri Zhang instantly replied, "I'm sorry, Master Guo, but I can't drink wine. Please allow me to use tea instead to toast to you." "Tea? Miss Yuri, are you looking down on me?!" The sound of glass shattering on the ground could be heard, along with the unsatisfied grumble of a young man. "...I didn't mean that. Master Guo, I just..." explained Yuri Zhang anxiously. "Miss Zhang, I accept that you're unaware of some things because you're new. However, you have to appreciate Master Guo when he is being patient and lenient towards you. Immediately apologize to him now!" ordered director Hendrik Dong Yuri Zhang was obviously unfamiliar with such an occasion.

 

She hesitated and said, "... I." Meanwhile, Master Guo seemed to be slowly losing his temper and interrupted Yuri Zhang, "Miss Yuri, I won't beat around the bush, let's get straight to the point. If you accompany me tonight, I shall promise you a bright future, I.." Upon hearing this, Yuri Zhang immediately reversed her tone, "Master Guo, please behave yourself.

 

I'm not that kind of person, I.." Before Yuri Zhang could finish her sentence, Director Dong lamented coarsely, "Miss Zhang, you should be thankful that ---- Master Guo noticed you. Do you know how many people would jump up at a chance like this? So many people have contacted Master Guo in order to spend a night with him in exchange for a bright future, yet he has turned all of them down. This is your chance, you must seize it." Yuri Zhang protested, "Director Dong, no matter what you say, I will never do such a thing.

 

 I'm sorry but I have other matters to attend to, i'll be leaving first." While speaking, Yuri Zhang got up and began to leave. However, the other party obviously would not give up.

 

Master Guo yelled, "Miss Zhang, you have no respect for me!" "Men, please have Miss Zhang take a seat." Suddenly, there was a cacophonous sound inside, along with Yuri Zhang's scream and Master Guo's guffaw. Upon hearing these voices, Fade Chen's face turned grave and his eyes were filled with fury. He rushed to the door of the private room and kicked it open.

 

As soon as he broke into the room, Fade Chen was met with chaos. The directors sat along the entrance, while a young man in his mid-20s sat in the seat directly opposite the entrance Obviously, it was the infamous Master Guo. Currently, there were two macho bodyguards holding Yuri Zhang in front of Master Guo, refraining her from escaping. Meanwhile, Master Guo shot a sinister smile at Yuri Zhang and began to place his filthy hands on Yuri Zhang.

 

When I fancy a woman, she can never escape from me." The loud bang by Fade Chen's kick on the door interrupted him. Everyone in the private room shifted their attention to --- Most notably, Yuri Zhang. The moment she turned and saw Fade Chen, she could no longer hold her tears and began to sob, "Brother Chen, they.. Fade Chen marched forward and knocked down the two bodyguards. Then, he held Yuri Zhang in his arms and comforted her, "I'm here. Yuri, don't worry anymore."

 

When Master Guo came to his senses and saw Fade Chen, his face turned sombre, "Who are you?" One of the directors immediately explained, "Master Guo, this is Miss Zhang's friend who is here with her for the advertisement shoot." Hendrik Dong approached Fade Chen and introduced, "Mr. Chen, this is Master Guo from Hanover City, he is..." "Shut up!" Chen Fei slapped the director, etching a bright red palm mark on the director's face.

 

Then, Fade Chen turned his unfriendly gaze to Master Guo and asked coldly, "How dare you touch Yuri?" Haldon Guo reacted haughtily and scoffed, "I won't only dare to touch her, 'i even bring her to bed. What do you think you can do?" "How bold of you!" "Bang!" Halden Guo's narcissistic expression was wiped off his face with a slap from Fade Chen that was strong enough to make his cheek swell instantly "How... How dare you slap me? Do you know who I am?" Master Guo covered his swollen cheek with one hand in shock while pointing and yelling furiously at Fade Chen. Fade Chen's eyes remained unsympathetic. He slapped Master Guo again, causing the latter to fall and roll on the ground miserably, "I'm being beaten up here, and you imbeciles are just watching?

 

Get over here and beat this a shole to death! want him dead!" ranted Master Guo at the two bodyguards who had just barely risen from the ground, The two bodyguards rushed fiercely towards Fade Chen but were greeted by two kicks.

 

Both men flew out the minute they were kicked by Fade Chen, the sheer strength knocking them out directly the minute they fell to the ground. Fade Chen approached Master Guo ruthlessly, watching him from above, and ordered, "Crawl over here, and apologize. "Apologize? I. Master Guo gnashed his teeth in resentment. Fade Chen didn't hesitate to kick Haldon Guo in the stomach.

 

Much to his agony, Master Guo spat a mouthful of blood from the impact and rolled on the ground doubling in pain. "Kneel and apologize!" Fade Chen's icy voice emerged once again. Master Guo no longer had the guts to defy anymore.

 

He crawled in excruciating pain towards Yuri Zhang, knelt down and kowtowed thrice. He whispered, "Miss Zhang, I'm sorry, it's my fault. It won't happen again. Please forgive me, Miss Zhang." Yuri Zhang glared at Childe Guo in disgust. She didn't even bother to look at this guy at all.

 

Fade Chen noticed and directed, "Get lost!" Master Guo dragged himself out of the room as if he had been granted amnesty. The directors also tried to leave. Yet, Fade Chen turned around and asked in an icy manner, "Did I allow you to leave?" They were all frightened and pale. After all, they had just witnessed Fade Chen's ruthlessness, which was beyond their imagination. If he could beat Master Guo up, they would stand no chance. Yet, Director Hendrik Dong remained snobbish.

 

He turned to Yuri Zhang and began to lecture, "Miss Zhang, you are a newbie in the entertainment world, so you've no idea that these things are normal. I introduced you to Master Guo for your own good. Do you know that Master Guo is.." "Forget it. I'm not that kind of person. I don't want to gain fame by illegal means." rebutted Yuri Zhang.

 

Hendrik Dong shook his head seemingly in disappointment and claimed, "Miss Zhang, you're still too young to understand these things. It's true that you managed to fight back when you had your friend attack Master Guo. But, have you ever thought about your future in the industry? A word from Master Guo is enough to ruin your career. Don't even think about being able to become famous in the future".

 

Chapter 179

"If this is what I have to do, I rather not be an idol!" Yuri Zhang shouted with a serious face. "Miss Zhang, please think this through. Have you any idea how many other girls out there wished that they could debut?

 

No matter how many times they auditioned, they couldn't find the right person to help them do so. Yet now here I am, giving you this once in a lifetime opportunity, but you don't know how to appreciate it.

 

What a waste!" Hendrik Dong shook his head and sighed. The more he spoke, the more serious he became. His face was masked by a look of concern for Yuri Zhang. Yuri Zhang was so mad she couldn't even speak Fade Chen's eyes were cold and distant. He walked up to the director and slapped him across the face, shouting at him in disgust, "People like you who use inappropriate methods to teach newbies are what makes the industry corrupted. And you dare speak in such an obstinate tone." "You, you actually hit me." The director shouted.

 

He didn't dare to speak to Fade Chen, so he could only shout at Yuri Zhang, "Yuri Zhang, you had better make your friend stop. Or else I will make sure you're blacklisted and that you will never ever have a career in entertainment again. Yuri Zhang did not even bat an eyelid at Hendrik Dong. "Blacklisted?!" Fade Chen sneered. "People like you are the ones who should be blacklisted." As he spoke, Fade Chen took out his phone and dialed Fatty Huang's number, speaking directly into the phone, "Fatty Huang, please look up someone for me. He is a director ---- called Hendrik Dong. I don't wish to see him in the entertainment industry ever again." "Will do, Brother Fade. Rest assured, I'll settle this."

 

Fatty Huang didn't ask for anymore details and started doing what he needed to do. Listening to Fade Chen on the phone, Hendrik Dong said in a nonchalant manner, "Who do you think you are? You, blacklist me? This must be a joke. Stop trying to act so tough, I'll have you know." He didn't think that Fade Chen's phone call was real. After all, if he really was someone big in the entertainment industry, he would've already helped Yuri Zhang rise to the top. She wouldn't have needed to come here for an audition like this. But before he could finish his sentence, his phone rang. He took out his phone and saw that it was an investor's phone number.

 

Hendrik Dong quickly picked up the phone and answered, "Chief Wang..." As soon as he said a word, a series of loud roars could be heard coming from the other side of the call, "Hendrik Dong, what the f*ck did you do? If you have a death wish, do not drag me along with you. I have no intentions of being dragged along." Hendrik Dong felt confused as he didn't understand why he was being scolded. So he asked, "Chief Wang, what on earth happened? I." "You don't know what happened? Chief Wang roared. Chief Huang just notified everyone within our industry that if anyone had any business with you, they'd be blacklisted. I just invested 50 million in your company and you pull this happened?" sh*t on me." "What? Blacklisted me?" Hendrik Dong was shocked. He glanced at Fade Chen, still finding it hard to believe.

 

He continued questioning, "Chief Wang, which Chief Huang are you talking about?" "Who else? The one who's been famous in Bay City recently." Chief Wang shouted. "What?! That Chief Huang?" Hendrik Dong exclaimed.

 

The look on his face changed dramatically. The Chief Huang who they were talking about was actually Scott Huang's father. The Huang family was close to Uncle Wei. Following the downfall of the Wan family's company Long Enterprise expanded rapidly and even began to infiltrate into the neighbouring cities. Because of this, the Huang Family also took the opportunity to expand.

 

By doing this, the reputation of the Huang Family in several downtown circles began to rise. In one go, they manage to dethrone several other bosses in the other cities.

 

With just one notice from Chief Huang, Hendrik Dong would never again hold a title or job in Bay City. Even though the Huang Family didn't hold as much of a say in the other nearby cities, all they needed to do was say a word and naturally the bosses would comply. After all, Hendrik Dong was just a third-rate director.

 

 Compared to the Huang Family, there was a clear choice on who's side should they be on. "Hendrik Dong, I've said what I wanted to say. If you don't clean up your mess, don't blame me for not being a good friend." After saying this, Chief Wang hung up. Right after that call ended, his phone rang again.

 

His phone kept ringing with all sorts of notifications. Social media, messages, phone calls, you name it. There was no need to look at them closely as anyone could tell that they were all about him being blacklisted. For just a moment, Hendrik Dong's face was pale and blank.

 

Locking his gaze with Fade Chen, he was full of fear and disbelief. "Who, who are you? How do you know Chief Huang? Why did you." Fade Chen was not interested in talking to him.

 

With one leg he kicked Hendrik Dong out of the way and grabbed onto Yuri Zhang's hand, pulling her out of the room. After returning to the hotel at the tourist site with Yuri Zhang, an angry Momo Soo rushed over to them after hearing the news. If she could, she would've ran down that hill and give Master Guo and Director Dong a good beating.

 

After saying a few words to her, Fade Chen handed things over to Momo Soo. She wriggled under the covers of Yuri Zhang's bed and spent the night sleeping beside her while comforting her the next day, the tourist site management also found out about what had happened.

 

The person in charge came to the hotel personally to apologised to Yuri Zhang. Aside from feeling apologetic, they were also mad. They decided to sue Hendrik Dong and demanded that he compensate for their loss. At the same time, the new director, who had arrived from Bay City just overnight, agreed to take over and finished filming the advertisement. After resting for another day, Yuri Zhang wasn't feeling as enthusiastic as she was when she had just arrived.

 

Clearly she was affected by what had happened and now had a bad impression on the entertainment industry. In an effort to comfort Yuri Zhang, Momo Soo dragged Yuri Zhang and Fade Chen to Hanover City. She wanted to spend some time partying with a senior she knew from her university's student union. The tourist site management had someone send them over to the city. Following the address provided, the three of them arrived at a high-end district. Fade Chen scanned his surroundings.

 

He deduced that the properties here would be pretty pricey although incomparable to the villas. But for a place like Hanover City, this district would be among the top 3 with the highest priced properties. It seems like Momo Soo's senior was someone rich. After telling the security guard her senior's name, their details were recorded and they were allowed to enter.

 

Surprisingly, the senior didn't come to welcome them. Instead, she gave them her house number and told them to come by themselves The three of them didn't think much about it. After looking around, they finally arrived at her house. They then rung the doorbell a few times before the door swung open and a young woman walked out. Fade Chen looked at the woman. She was only 21 or 22 years old, but she was dressed up in a very mature manner.

 

Her shoulder-length hair was dyed blonde and she had quite a lot of make up on. She was wearing a very short skirt that revealed almost half her thighs and had on heels that were high enough to reach the sky.

 

 "Senior, we've arrived." Momo Soo smiled and began to introduce the both of them, "Senior, this is Yuri Zhang, my roommate. I've told you about her before. This is Fade Chen, my friend. "Following this, Momo Soo then introduced her senior to the both of them, "Guys, this is Chesca Tan, my senior. She's Bay City University's student union vice president".

 

Chapter 180

Yuri Zhang nodded and addressed Chesca Tan politely, "Nice to meet you, Senior Chessca." Chesca Tan responded similarly with a nod, "Nice to meet you too. Momo mentioned about you and praised about your singing. Glad to hear you're famous now." Yuri Zhang replied humbly. "Thanks for the compliment, I'm just a student anyway.

 

" Chesca Tan was certainly just being courteous and did not try to know more about Yuri Zhang. Instead, her eyes turned towards Fade Chen. Fade Chen greeted her politely with a faint smile, "Hello, Miss Tan!" Chessca Tan's gaze flickered the moment she saw his outfit and she frowned slightly.

 

Almost immediately, her expression changed as she nodded politely and replied, "Hello." Her expression changed so quickly that Momo Soo and Yuri Zhang didn't figure out. Yet, Fade Chen was sharp enough to sense it.

 

He couldn't help but assume that this lady wasn't as pure and naive as others thought her to be! However, he was just a guest. Although he had doubts, it wasn't appropriate for him to comment, so he just followed Momo Soo and Yuri Zhang into the house. Chesca Tan lived alone, but the house was quite spacious with over 100 square meters in size.

 

Moreover, the interior design was fancy and luxurious. They were now more certain that she was raised in a wealthy family. After politely inviting them to their seats, Chesca Tan instructed her nanny to serve them tea and they began to chat. Momo Soo was the closest to Chesca Tan, so it was normal that she spoke the most with Momo So. She grabbed Momo Soo's hand, firstly asking about her studies then offering her to join the student council.

 

As Chesca Tan had one more semester before graduating, she could recommend Momo Soo to join the student council and assure her a decent position prior to her graduation. However, as Momo Soo was outgoing and preferred not to be tied down to these responsibilities, she had no interest and declined the offer. Chesca Tan did not care much about it. Soon, she moved on to their family backgrounds.

 

"Momo, what businesses are your friends' families engaged in?" asked Chessca Tan as she shot a glance at Yuri Zhang and Fade Chen. Momo Soo glanced towards the two of them, seemingly asking if it was appropriate for her to reveal their personal information. Yuri Zhang didn't think so much and confessed, "Senior, my family resides in the countryside. My father works in the city and my mother works in the farm." Chessca Tan's expression faltered and she snorted slightly before turning to Fade Chen.

 

Fade Chen frowned and responded, "I'm a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. I currently work for Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc." "Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc? That's a large company. What a decent job!" commented Chessca Tan.

 

Although they were compliments, she expressed them indifferently as though --- she was looking down on them. After rounds of questions, Chesca Tan did not spend any more time on them. She turned to Momo Soo and asked, "Momo, do you live in South Bay City?" "Yes!" replied Momo Soo unconsciously. Chessca Tan's eyes glimmered as she continued to ask, "1 heard that you're from a trading family. Are you part of the Su family in South Bay City?" Momo Soo was fairly surprised that Chesca Tan mentioned her family but she didn't take it seriously. She nodded and agreed, "Yes, I'm from the Su family." Chesca Tan was instantly delighted as she further asked, "The Su family has a wide variety of businesses.

 

I wonder which business belongs to your family." Momo frowned as she began to feel uneasy but she still answered, "My dad is in charge of the real estate business." "Real estate!" Chesca Tan became more excited. Real estate was one of the few core businesses of the Su family. Since Momo Soo's father was in charge of the real estate affairs, she should be a quite decent figure in the family.

 

Upon realizing it, Chesca Tan began to move closer to Momo Soo and suggested, "Momo, since your family's real estate business has developed well and my dad has some relevant business, why don't we arrange a date to discuss on further cooperation?" The longer the conversation was, the more annoyed Momo Soo became. She put down her teacup and stated, "I don't know much about business." "Anyway, would you recommend us some fun activities to do in Hanover City, Chessca? Since it's a holiday, we must enjoy ourselves."

 

Momo Soo diverted the topic astutely, Chesca Tan realized that she had been pushing Momo Soo too far, so she tried her best to contain her excitement. She took out her laptop and asserted, "Don't worry, Momo. I've arranged your trip days ago. Look, these are the popular attractions in Hanover City.

 

They're unique and are best to visit during winters." "That's great, thank you so much," thanked Momo Soo. Chesca Tan smirked, "Don't mention it. You all must be exhausted due to the journey today. Take a rest here and ll be your tour guide tomorrow." "Sorry for the troubles, Chessca, apologized Momo Soo. In the evening, they had dinner at a decent hotel outside the area. After dinner, they hung out for two hours before heading home.

 

At night, Chesca Tan began to allocate bedrooms for the visitors. There were plenty of rooms in her house and she occupied the master bedroom alone. She chose a spacious guest room for Momo Soo, and then left a small bedroom for Yuri Zhang. As for Fade Chen, Chesca Tan cheekily apologized, "Mr Chen, I'm sorry.

 

The remaining bedrooms are quite dusty because I haven't had time to clean them. You'll have to put up with sleeping on the sofa in the living room tonight." Before Fade Chen could speak, Momo Soo suggested, "Let's do it this way. 'll share a room with Yuri. Brother Fade, you can have a room for yourself." Yuri Zhang nodded instantly and agreed, the bed in my room is large. I'll sleep with Momo, it won't be crowded." Fade Chen took a glance at Chessca Tan and answered plainly, "It's okay.

 

 I'm a grown man, I can sleep anywhere. It's fine. Chesca Tan wanted to comment but Mom Soo was faster. Momo Soo insisted, "It's winter now. You'll catch a cold easily if you sleep on the sofa. Besides, I slept with Yuri several times, and it's much warmer if you have someone to sleep with." As Momo Soo was firm with her decision, Chessca Tan decided not to speak any further. She just simply reminded, "In that case, Mr Chen you can sleep there.

 

The bedding is already made so please help yourself." The next morning, Chesca Tan drove a BMW to take the trio for a trip after they had had breakfast. Since the route was planned and Chesca Tan was the tour guide, the journey was rather smooth and everyone enjoyed the tour.

 

However, even Momo Soo and Yuri Zhang who were slow witted began to discover the difference in Chessca Tan's attitude along the way. She accompanied Momo Soo almost all the time, enthusiastically explaining and introducing everything to her. On the contrary, Yuri Zhang and Fade Chen were treated indifferently as she barely spoke to them..
