Magic Doctor: CEO Lady's Humble Husband chapter 31-45

Chapter 31

 
Ross Zheng's was horrified at being slapped and fell to the ground. Louise Lee and Diana Hu grew pale beside her. They shivered and almost fell to the floor. After all, they were locals in Bay City, so they had a deep understanding of Uncle Long's power.
  
Wayne Shao touched the sweat on his forehead and said, " Monkey King, it's our fault this time. Give me a chance, I will compensate for your loss."
  
Darren Hong snorted and said, "Do you think I need your money?"
  
Wayne Shao shook his body and felt more awful. He said, "Well, I said something wrong. Monkey King, if you have any requests, I will do it."
  
"Request?!" Darren Hong glanced at Wayne Shao and the others. He seemed to think for a moment and said, "For the sake of Tim Shao, I won't make things difficult for you. I don't need money but all of you must kneel down and kowtow three times and this matter will be over."
  
"Kowtow?" Wayne Shao's face froze with embarrassment.
  
"You don't want to?" Darren Hong snorted coldly.
  
Suddenly, Wayne Shao's heart trembled. He couldn't care less about his own dignity. He kneeled down and kowtowed three times to Darren Hong.
  
At the same time, Wayne Shao signalled Ross Zheng, Louise Lee, and Diana Hu, making them kowtow hurriedly.
  
Although the three girls were in a dilemma, they still kowtowed and admitted their mistakes under the strong pressure of the Monkey King.
  
Wayne Shao immediately squeezed out a flattering smile and said to Darren Hong, "Monkey King, I, I'm done kowtowing...."
  
Darren Hong snorted and said, "I said all of you, didn't you hear me clearly?"
  
Wayne Shao was stunned, and then his face changed. He looked at Momo Soo and the other two. Obviously, Darren Hong was referring to the three of them.
  
"Momo, why not..." Wayne Shao squeezed out a smile at Momo Soo.
  
Needless to say, Momo Soo also knew what he wanted to do. She directly waved her hand, then pulled Yuri Zhang, glanced at Fade Chen, and said, "It's none of our business. Let's go."
  
Then they walked to the door of the private room.
  
Darren Hong, who was sitting on his chair, narrowed his eyes and snorted, "Did I allow you to leave?"
  
"We are not with them. Settle your issues with them and not us." Momo Soo looked at Darren Hong angrily with her mouth closed.
  
Darren Hong's voice became haughty and he said, "I don't care. I insist that all of you kneel down and kowtow. Otherwise, it's not over."
  
As soon as he finished speaking, Darren Hong snapped his fingers, and two security guards appeared at the door. Their bulky physiques blocked the door and their face filled with fierceness.
  
Momo Soo and Yuri Zhang trembled in fear.
  
Fade Chen gave the two women a reassuring look, then stood up and said to Darren Hong, "I don't care how you want to teach Wayne Shao a lesson. But if you are dragging us along, that is crossing the line."
  
"Crossing the line?" The word made Darren Hong stop beating his fingers on the armrest, and then stood up abruptly. He glared at Fade Chen and shouted angrily, "Who do you think you are? Telling me that I crossed the line! may have, but what can you do about it?!"
  
Seeing the Monkey King get angry, Wayne Shao and others turned pale with fear and looked at Fade Chen with resentment.
  
"Fade Chen, what are you doing? Shut up!" Wayne Shao shouted in a hurry.
  
Louise Lee said anxiously, "He is the Monkey King. Fade Chen, don't be stubborn, Kneel down and apologize!"
  
Diana Hu said, "Momo Soo, stop him. If you wish to die, don't get us involved."
  
Momo Soo rolled her eyes and ignored their voices. Instead, she stood quietly behind Fade Chen, her eyes full of trust.
  
"What can I do?" Fade Chen glanced at Monkey King and then flashed into a shadow. In an instant, he appeared in front of the two security guards at the door and slapped them on the heads.
  
The two robust men, who were more than 1.9 meters tall, fainted before they could call for help. Fade Chen returned to his original position as if he had not moved at all.
  
Darren Hong narrowed his eyes and said, "So you're a martial artist. You've got some skills!"
  
However, after a short pause, Darren Hong suddenly stood up with an intimidating aura. He squinted at Fade Chen and coldly said, "I can tell you that you have provoked me."
  
Facing Darren Hong's intimidating aura, Fade Chen looked calm. "So what if provoked you?"
  
"Boy, you're looking for death!" Darren Hong burst out in an instant.
  
With a cry, his thin body suddenly moved at a rapid speed. His hands danced flexibly, like thousands of fist shadows coming from the sky, completely covering Fade Chen.
  
However, Fade Chen was still standing there quietly, as if he had not noticed Darren Hong's attack at all.
  
However, when Darren Hong's fist was about to touch his head, Fade Chen smirked and gently patted him on the chest.
  
But this gentle pat had exerted a staggering force onto Darren Hong's chest. A scream burst out from his mouth, and then he spat out a mouthful of blood. He was sent flying backward and fell on the table, smashing numerous bowls and chopsticks. Eventually, his mouth was smeared with blood, and he crashed against the wall and stopped.
  
In an instant, the crowd turned silent. Everyone was dumbfounded and stared at Fade Chen. They could not believe their eyes.
  
The famous Monkey King of the North Bay City, a master of martial arts at the early stage of the Yellow Class, was sent flying away by an ordinary guy like Fade Chen.
  
Darren Hong struggled to get up and wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth. He mumbled, "Who the hell are you?"
  
Fade Chen glanced at him faintly and said, "You... are not qualified to know my identity."
  
Such disregard made Darren Hong's pale face even more distorted. He shouted coldly, "If you dare to hurt me, the Long Enterprise will not let go of you." Long Enterprise was Uncle Long's company, and almost all his assets belonged to Long Enterprise. Therefore, Long Enterprise represented Uncle Long, Jimmy Wei.
  
Fade Chen, who was walking away stopped and turned around to look at Darren Hong coldly. He raised his right palm and asked, "Are you threatening me?"
  
Seeing Fade Chen's palm, Darren Hong couldn't help but tremble instinctively. However, as the Monkey King of the North Bay City and one of the Four Heavenly Guardians of Uncle Long, he couldn't lose his dignity now. He stretched his neck and shouted, "I'm not your opponent. You can kill me. But if you dare to do it, Uncle Long will never let you go."
  
This threat immediately made Wayne Shao and others nervous and they shrieked at Fade Chen.
  
Wayne Shao said in a hurry, "Fade Chen, stop! Your strength is nothing in front of Uncle Long."
  
Diana Hu said, "Momo Soo, stop your cousin. He may want to die, but don't drag us in."
  
Louise Lee shouted, "Momo Soo, Fade Chen, you are outsiders. You don't understand the power of Long Enterprise at all. Hurting the people of Long Enterprise will guarantee death."
  
Darren Hong sneered and looked at Fade Chen with confidence.
 
  
Chapter 32

Fade Chen looked at Darren Hong and said lightly, "Do you think I dare not touch you?"
  
"I'm from Long Enterprise." Darren Hong muttered again.
  
"Don't mention the Long Enterprise. You don't represent Long Enterprise." Fade Chen interrupted him. Then he took out his mobile phone and dialled a number. "Tom Wei, Mil give you ten minutes. Come here immediately.
  
Hearing Fade Chen's call, Wayne Shao and Ross Zheng grew anxious.
  
"What? You still want to call for help?"
  
"This is the North Bay City. It's Uncle Long's territory. There's no use calling anyone here!"
  
"This guy is just pretending. Down to this moment, he is still pretending."
  
In the midst of their complaints, Louise Lee's eyes flashed a little. "This, this seems to be the second-in-command of Long Enterprise. Uncle Long's nephew is called Tom Wei. He can't be..."
  
Wayne Shao was stunned. He quickly waved his hand and said, "How is it possible? How could he possibly know Master Wei?"
  
"Perhaps it's someone else with the same name. A big shot like Master Wei can't be associated to this poor boy."
  
Darren Hong was also full of doubt. Surely he knew who Tom Wei was. When he heard that Fade Chen calling for Tom Wei, he felt that it was impossible. Master Wei was his superior, so how would he have met Fade Chen?
  
Fade Chen was not in a hurry. He asked Momo Soo and Yuri Zhang to sit down and continue to eat and drink, as if he did not notice the apprehensive atmosphere in the private room.
  
In less than ten minutes, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door. Before Darren Hong could ask for someone to check, everyone saw a young man with loose clothes and hands in his pocket rushing into the private room.
  
Seeing him, Darren Hong was stunned and exclaimed, "Tom Wei, why are you here?"
  
Tom Wei ignored him. He glanced around and rushed to Fade Chen. He immediately pulled out his hands from his pockets, put them by his side and bowed to Fade Chen and said respectfully, "Master... no, Brother Fade, what can I do for you?"
  
"Why don't you ask him?" Fade Chen pointed at Darren Hong.
  
Tom Wei took to Darren Hong to inquire about the situation.
  
Wayne Shao, Louise Lee, and the others were completely dumbfounded at this moment. What they had witnessed stunned them. They could not believe that the seemingly poor boy could actually call out to Tom Wei. Moreover, Tom Wei was respectful to him and called him Master.
  
What is going on? Has the world gone mad?
  
For a moment, they felt dizzy and it all felt surreal.
  
Tom Wei finally came to an understanding of the situation. His face suddenly turned emotionless. He slapped Darren Hong with his hand and blood spurted from the corner of Darren Hong's mouth.
  
But this was only the beginning. Tom Wei lifted Darren Hong up and slapped him several times, which made Darren Hong's face bleed and swell. Then he threw him on the ground, kicked and punched him again. The sound of his strikes made Wayne Shao and others tremble.
  
After a series of punching and kicking, the dignified Monkey King of the North Bay City was no longer in shape. Tom Wei held Monkey King with his hands, walked to Fade Chen with respect, and said, "Brother Fade, this was his fault and he had offended you. If you want to punish him, just tell me. Ill do it even if you want to chop him up and feed him to the dogs."
  
Fade Chen swallowed his last mouthful of food, took out a piece of tissue, and wiped his mouth carefully. Then he got up and glanced at Darren Hong who had a badly beaten face. He waved his hand and said softly, "It's not a big deal. Since you have taught him a lesson, then forget about it. I still have something else to do. I'll go first.
  
After that, Fade Chen swaggered out of the room with Momo Soo and Yuri Zhang.
  
Behind them, Tom Wei, with all the staff of Darren Hong and the hotel bowed as they watched the back of Fade Chen and others with respectful eyes until they disappear from the door.
  
As for Wayne Shao and Louise Lee, terror caused them to huddle up and remain motionless in the private room. Fortunately, Tom Wei didn't want to argue with them about such trifles, so he let them go.
  
After everyone left the private room, Tom Wei closed the door and pulled Darren Hong up. His serious face was full of concern and apology. "Darren, I'm sorry. I was a little harsh just now.
  
Darren Hong shook his head and said, "There must be a reason for you to do this, Master Wei."
  
Looking at Darren Hong's face, Tom Wei knew that although he didn't say anything, he still felt uncomfortable in his heart. He explained, "Brother Hong, what I do just now was for your own good. Otherwise, if Brother Fade did it himself, I wouldn't guarantee the result."
  
Darren Hong frowned and asked, "Who is that guy? Is he really that powerful?"
  
"I don't know who he is, but I'm sure he's powerful, Tom Wei said seriously.
  
"You can't beat him either?" Darren Hong asked.
  
There was no doubt that the most powerful master of Long Enterprise was Jimmy Wei, who was at the late stage of the Yellow Level. The second was Master Wei who was about to enter the mid stage from the early stage. Below that, there were four of them, who were at the early stage of the Yellow Level.
  
Tom Wei shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "It's not that we can't beat him, but we're not at the same level at all. We fought once last night and he defeated me with one move."
  
"What? One move?" Darren Hong was shocked. "Could it be that he is a master at the mid Stage of the Yellow Class?"
  
Tom Wei continued to shake his head and said, "More powerful than that."
  
"It's impossible. I think he is just in his early twenties. It's not bad to reach the mid stage of the Yellow Class. Is he at the late stage of the Yellow Class?" Darren Hong couldn't believe it.
  
Tom Wei didn't say anything else. He stood up and struck out his palm toward the air. Suddenly, there was a loud explosion in the private room, the air had exploded from the sonic boom emanating from his palm.
  
Darren Hong looked at this scene and his face was full of excitement. "Tom Wei, have you broken through and reached the mid stage of Yellow Class?"
  
Tom Wei nodded and said, "I have just made the breakthrough last night. And it was under the guidance of Brother Fade."
  
Then, Tom Wei told him what happened to Fade Chen last night and how he forced out clogged blood with his palm, making him break through the stage, and how he guided his training in detail.
  
Darren Hong was dumbfounded after hearing all of it. "How, how could it be possible? He defeated the enemy with one move and helped one's breaking through with one palm. Even Uncle Long, who is at the late stage of the Yellow Class, doesn't have this ability."
  
Tom Wei said, "That's right! If Uncle had such strength, would have asked Uncle to teach me. How could I be stuck in the early stage for two years? Brother Fade's strength should be stronger than my Uncle's."
  
The eldest uncle, Uncle Long, was almost invincible in front of Darren Hong and others. Tom Wei's words made him instinctively unable to believe them, so he thought of an excuse, "Being good at teaching doesn't mean that his ability is strong. Perhaps, he is just good at theory." Darren Hong replied.
  
Tom Wei did not argue. He spread out his hands and said, "Whether he is better than uncle or not, he's better than me."
  
Darren Hong looked disappointed. Fade Chen was definitely stronger than Tom Wei, who was at the Mid Stage of the Yellow Class, which transitively, Fade was definitely stronger than him too.
  
"Well, don't just complain. Let's just do our best." Tom Wei patted Darren Hong on the shoulder. "Let's go back with me to see my uncle. Brother Fade is not easy to handle. It's better to tell my uncle."

  
Chapter 33

 
Meanwhile, Wayne Shao and his party, who had already walked out of the hotel, turned their heads to look behind them. They still felt incredulous at what had happened.
  
They really couldn't understand why Fade Chen, who seemed like a poor loser, suddenly became so powerful. Even Master Wei of the North Bay City was so respectful to him and even called him "Brother Fade".
  
Could it be that he was the descendant of a wealthy family, or that he had some kind of hidden identity?
  
Everyone couldn't help but guess.
  
Louise Lee was silent and full of regret. She blamed herself for not clinging onto such a great opportunity. Instead, she was fooled by Wayne Shao, who was just a fool and caused her to miss the real jackpot.
  
Diana Hu, on the other hand, was anxious. She was worried that Fade Chen and Momo Soo would take revenge on her after they returned. Of course, she was also a little regretful.
  
However, Fade Chen obviously would not hate her. After leaving the restaurant, the three of them returned to school.
  
Thinking of Louise Lee and Diana Hu's behaviour, Momo Soo felt disgusted and didn't want to see them anymore. She immediately rented a two bedroom apartment in the neighbourhood around the school to move out with Yuri Zhang.
  
Fade Chen became a sort of domestic helper in their process of moving. He helped the two girls clean up the house. After a lot of work, it was already dinner time when he returned to the villa.
  
When he entered the house, his wife and Housekeeper Wang were having dinner. When she saw Fade Chen came back, Housekeeper Wang quickly got up and served him dinner. Quin Lin said faintly, "You're back." Then she restored her aloof attitude and did not further probe Fade Chen on his late arrival.
  
However, although his wife did not ask, Fade Chen took the liberty to tell Quin Lin that Momo Soo and her classmate rented a house outside the school. He avoided bringing up the fact that they got into a fight.
  
Quin Lin nodded. Then, as usual, she quickly finished her meal and went upstairs.
  
Her indifferent attitude made Fade Chen miss his wife from two days ago. He couldn't help but think of the shy look on his wife in his wife's room that day.
  
"Perhaps I can find a chance to buy my wife a gift again, maybe she will allow me to stay in her bedroom and sleep next time. However, I had just given her plush toys recently, what should I give her next time? Or perhaps I should show more care..."
  
Fade Chen muttered to himself as he finished his meal quickly. After washing up, he went back to his room to rest. Before he went to bed, thinking of what had happened earlier, Fade Chen took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Quin Lin. "Dear, don't work too late. Go to bed early. Good night!"
  
Then he stubbornly waited for her wife's good night reply, but he didn't get the reply he wanted. Instead, he got a good night greeting from Momo Soo. After the two words "good night", there was also a photo of herself.
  
The photo showed a beautiful Momo who just came out of the bathroom and was wrapped in a bathrobe.
  
Wet hair fell over her shoulders, her big dark eyes, her skin that was so tender as if it was made of water, and the looming pale skin showing in the gap of her bathrobe. In an instant, Fade Chen was full of energy, his sleepiness disappeared without a trace.
  
"Brother-in-law, why didn't you reply me? Did you fall asleep?" Momo Soo's message came again, followed by an angry expression.
  
Fade Chen wiped his spit, typed quickly and replied, "I watched your pretty photo in awe and forgot about time."
  
"Really? I still have more photos. Brother-in-law, do you want to see them?' Momo Soo said with a smile.
  
"Yes!" Fade Chen replied quickly, followed by several emoticons with starry eyes.
  
Soon, Momo Soo replied, "Brother-in-law, this time the photo is more awesome. It has an important part. You have to look at it slowly!"
  
Her words made Fade Chen excited. He nodded repeatedly and sent several salivating emojis.
  
Then, the photo of Momo Soo was sent over. Perhaps because of the poor speed of the Internet, the loading was slow.
  
About a minute later, the photo finally showed up, but it was blank. There was nothing.
  
"Did Momo sent the wrong image?" Fade Chen was about to ask, but unexpectedly, the blank picture suddenly flashed, and then a horrible bloody face show up. Fade Chen was shocked and threw his mobile phone. Fortunately, it fell on the bed and did not fall to the ground and break.
  
After Fade Chen finally calmed down, he knew that he had been fooled by Momo. He couldn't help but grit his teeth, picked up his mobile phone, typed a long essay to scold her.
  
But, a line of message appeared. "Sorry, you can't send any message to this contact right now."
  
Fade Chen was stunned. "This mischievous little woman just blocked me."
  
Fade Chen lay back on his bed helplessly. After a long time, he calmed down and closed his eyes, ready to sleep. But at this moment, his mobile phone vibrated.
  
Fade Chen picked up his phone and thought that the beautiful Momo had come to tease him again. He gritted his teeth again and insisted on teaching her a lesson this time. However, he opened WeChat and found that it was a message sent by Quin Lin.
  
The message was very short, with only a few words. "I just saw this. Thank you! I'm going to sleep. Goodnight to you too."
The reply was so ordinary but it surged Fade Chen with energy. He suddenly sat up from the bed, holding his mobile phone, and started thinking about how to reply to his wife. He couldn't be too intimate to avoid his wife feeling disgusted; he couldn't be too polite, or he couldn't show his sincerity.
  
As a result, he took more than ten minutes to ponder and finally typed a line of words. However, when Fade Chen was ready to send the carefully thought message, he noticed that his wife said that was going to sleep.
  
Therefore, Fade Chen had to delete the reply word by word. Finally, he sighed and lay back on his bed.
  
Fade Chen's mind was in a mess. He didn't know when he fell asleep. But as soon as he fell asleep, he found that nightmares were coming one after another.
  
Sometimes he dreamed that his wife Quin Lin did not recognize him and wanted to drive him out of the house, and then he dreamed that Momo Soo turned into a bloody devil and was chasing after him.
  
In short, Fade Chen couldn't sleep well that night.
  
Hence, when he was woken up by Housekeeper Wang the next morning, he had dark circles under his eyes. After breakfast, as usual, he took his wife's car to the company. Of course, he still got off the car midway and walked to the company on his own.

Chapter 34

 
He had been absent from work for 2 days, as soon as he arrived at the door of the medical room, Fade Chen heard Xenia Xu's complaints from inside. "Doctor Chen, how can he be like this, taking leave after working for only a few days. I'm so busy on my own."
  
"Xenia, I haven't seen you for two days. I didn't expect you to miss me so much." Fade Chen walked into the medical room with a smile.
  
Xenia Xu who was dressed in a nurse's uniform, was sorting out some medicine. When she heard his voice, she turned around and looked surprised. She said, "Doctor Chen, you are here."
  
Then she said shyly. "I don't miss you."
  
"If you didn't miss me, I'll just leave then." Fade Chen turned around and said.
  
Xenia Xu rushed out and grabbed Fade Chen, saying, "Don't go.
  
"Well, are you admitting that you miss me." Fade Chen rubbed Xenia Xu's head and walked into the medical room with a smile.
  
"No, I'm just too busy." Xenia Xu muttered, but her face was blushing red. After teasing with the nurse for a while, Fade Chen put on a white coat and enquired about what had happened in the past two days. Then he came to the pharmaceutical room and began to work on the formula for some medicine. After all, his wife had givne him the task of making 10 thousand revitalizing boosters and this was nowhere close to being completed.
  
It was finally lunchtime after a busy morning. Fei Enterprise had their own canteen and the meals were very good. The staff could eat for free using their employee tags.
  
Fade Chen didn't hold back. He took two plates and filled one with rice and another one with braised pork, chicken drumsticks, meat etc. With everyone else watching him as if he was an oddity, he sat down beside Xenia Xu.
  
When he was about to eat, Fade Chen picked up the scent of Lily. A figure stood in front of him, he looked up. It was indeed Lily Wei.
  
"Manager Wei, do you want to have lunch together?" Fade Chen invited Lily Wei.
  
Lily Wei waved her hand and said in a serious tone, "That is not necessary, Dr Chen, Ms. Lin wants to see you and asks for you to have lunch in the lobby."
  
The so-called lobby was a mezzanine room above the canteen. The environment is elegant and it is not as crowded. It is the place where the company's executives have their meals.
  
"Ms... Ms. Lin is looking for me?" Fade Chen was really surprised. He thought to himself, "Could it be that my greeting last night worked and my wife is ready to make out with me?"
  
"Doctor Chen!" Looking at Fade Chen who was glazing over, Lily Wei gently frowned and shouted.
  
Fade Chen came to his senses, he hurriedly picked up two big plates, got up, and walked to the lobby.
  
Seeing this, Lily Wei's eyes widened. "You are bring these? There's food in the private lobby."
  
"The food has already been served. It'll be a waste if it's not eaten."
  
Lily Wei didn't know what to say. She could only lead the way silently, but she was even more confused. Who on earth is this seemingly carefree Dr Chen, who had been summoned by Ms. Lin personally several times?
  
Fade Chen looked at Lily Wei's frowning face and could not help but approach her. He smiled and said, "Lily Wei, you have a pretty face, why do you constantly keep a straight face, it'll be great if you smile! By the way, your perfume smell is just right today. It's neither too strong nor too faint, its fragrance is enticing."
  
Listening to Fade Chen's words, Lily Wei's heart beat faster somehow and her cheeks blushed a little. They arrived at the lobby. Lily Wei kept her cold and said, "Ms. Lin is upstairs. Go up yourself."
  
Fade Chen nodded and stepped upstairs. Halfway there, he heard an unwelcoming shout, "What are you doing here?"
  
Looking up, it was his arch nemesis, Donald Qin. His face, which had been beaten black and blue by Fade Chen, had almost recovered, but some traces could still be seen. Donald who was wearing a suit, stared at Fade Chen in a condescending manner, and there was immense hatred in his eyes.
  
Fade Chen, however, seemed unperturbed and said, "Of course I am here for lunch. Secretary Qin, aren't you too? Oh, you have such a smelly mouth. You're having sh*t for lunch, aren't you?"
  
"You..." Donald Qin was so angry that he almost hit Fade Chen. But when he thought of the previous occasion when he was beaten badly by Fade Chen, he felt a pain on his face.
  
Shaking off his raised hand, Donald Qin snorted and boasted disdainfully, "You are vulgar and rude. Let me tell you, this is the place where the top managers of the company have their meals, not a place where low-level employees like you can be at. Get out of here now!"
  
"Oh, so, I can't have my lunch up there?" Fade Chen looked at Donald Qin.
  
Donald Qin's face was full of arrogance. "Of course not. This is not the place where you can come. You should know your own place. Don't come to a place where you don't fit in. It's embarrassing."
  
Fade Chen was not angry. On the contrary, he seemed to agree with him. He turned around and was about to go downstairs. At the same time, he shouted towards the lobby, "Ms. Lin, Secretary Qin said that I don't deserve to come to the lobby, so I have to return downstairs. If you are looking for me, please come down to the common area."
  
Hearing this, Donald Qin was stunned, but then he folded his arms in front of his chest and sneered, "Fade Chen, these deceptive tricks are boring. Ms. Lin would not discuss anything with someone like you. Don't make me laugh."
  
Fade Chen did not refute. He picked up the plate and was about to go downstairs.
  
At this moment, a cold female voice resounded from the mezzanine upstairs. "Secretary Qin, let Dr. Chen in. I have something to talk to him about."
  
"Ah..." Donald Qin was stunned. He turned his head to look upstairs in disbelief at what Quin Lin had just said.
  
Fade Chen, however,turned around with a smile and said, "A good dog doesn't block the way!" Ms Lin has asked me to go up. Didn't you hear that?"
  
Donald Qin was so angry that his cheeks were distorted, but he had to lean aside to give way to Fade Chen.
  
Fade Chen carried his two plates of food and whistled his way past Donald Qin. As soon as he reached Donald Qin, Fade Chen suddenly slipped and staggered. The two plates of food flew out of his hands and landed on Donald Qin's head accurately.
  
The juice and food slipped down Donald Qin's smooth hair little by little and then flowed along his cheeks and neck onto his body.
  
 "Oh, Secretary Qin, I'm sorry. My hand slipped. I'm really sorry. Ms. Lin is looking for me, so I can't help you out." Fade Chen smiled and didn't look like he was apologetic at all.
  
Donald Qin was so angry. He shook his hand and strode downstairs.
  
As a result, Fade Chen said, "Oh, Secretary Qin, there's a big drumstick on your head. Don't dump it. That's a waste of food!"
  
"You..." Donald Qin instinctively reached out his hand to touch the top of his head. As a result, his foot slipped on the stairs full of juice, and he fell on the stairs.
  
The well-dressed secretary had become a mess. The gravy from the food mixed with blood dyed Donald Qin's face into a collage of colours. Other employees watched him as they held their laughter, Donald Qin rushed into the bathroom in a hurry.
  
"Secretary Qin, eat slowly in the bathroom. No one will steal your food!"
  
Then, the crowd in the canteen burst into laughter.

Chapter 35

The crowd's laughter filled the room, and Fade Chen flung his hair and put on a posture that he thought was very handsome. He walked to the innermost space of the lobby and sat opposite Quin Lin. He started the conversation with a smile, "Dear, what can I do for you?"
  
"Don't call me that in the company." Quin Lin glared at Fade Chen coldly and then glanced downstairs. "Also, your little tricks with Donald Qin are extremely boring."
  
Fade Chen immediately stopped smiling and said grievingly, "Wife... no... Ms. Lin, it was Donald Qin who provoked me first, and I was just.."
  
"There's no need to say that. I don't want to know." Quin Lin interrupted Fade Chen's complaint. "I called you here because I have something to tell you."
  
"What's the matter? Even if it's something that will kill me, I'm willing to do it for you, President Lin" Fade Chen said ingratiatingly.
  
Quin Lin said without emotion, "You don't have to die to do this. At 8 o'clock tonight, there will be a networking event in Bay Central Hotel. I want you to accompany me to the party."
  
"Ah.. a networking event." Fade Chen was a little dumbfounded. After all, he had never attended such a party on Mount Tianwu.
  
Quin Lin raised her eyebrows and said, "Why, you don't want to? Then I'll find someone else."
  
"No, no! My wife, President Lin, I'm willing. I'm willing to do so." Fade Chen hurriedly said, "However, I've never attended such parties. I'm afraid that I'll embarrass you."
  
Quin Lin said lightly, "Even I'm not afraid of this, so there's nothing for you to be afraid of."
  
Hearing this, Fade Chen felt a little strange.
  
"Alright, it's over. You can leave now." Quin Lin started to drive him away.
  
Fade Chen said, "Honey, I haven't eaten yet. How about stay here and have lunch with you?" He picked up his chopsticks and was ready to pick up food.
  
However, Quin Lin put down her chopsticks, stood up and said, "You eat these and I'll have mine downstairs."
  
Now, Fade Chen did not dare to say anything. He could only put down his chopsticks and said with an embarrassed smile, "My... President Lin, calm down. I'm just kidding. I'm going down now. You must eat well and not starve yourself.
  
With this, Fade Chen went downstairs, went to the counter to fill up two plates of food, and returned to Xenia Xu again.
  
Before he opened his mouth, Xenia Xu curiously lean over. She blinked her big black eyes and asked, "Doctor Chen, why does Miss Lin want to see you? Did she punish you for not coming to work for two days?"
  
"How is it possible?" Fade Chen stuffed a drumstick in his mouth and said carelessly, "Miss Lin wants a date with me after work."
  
"Humph, forget that I asked." Xenia Xu said with a look of disbelief, "Miss Lin wants to go on a date with you. Why don't you say that President Lin's your wife?"
  
"Miss Lin is really my wife." Fade Chen muttered with a smile, but obviously, Xenia Xu wouldn't believe it. Instead, she picked up a drumstick and put it into Fade Chen's mouth, saying, "Don't talk nonsense. If Miss Lin hears it, she will fire you. Let's eat."
  
"This drumstick that Xenia feeds me is the best." Fade Chen grabbed the drumstick and bit into it. In a few minutes, he finished both plates of food.
  
After lunch, they rested for half an hour. Then, afternoon work began. Fade Chen went straight into the pharmacy and started working. Soon, it was time to get off work. Fade Chen came out of the pharmacy and saw a message from Quin Lin. He tapped into it and saw read the message from his wife. She asked Fade Chen to go to the basement carpark after work and proceed to leave for the party venue.
  
Fade Chen quickly changed his clothes and rushed to the basement carpark. As expected, Fade Chen found his wife's red Ferrari parked at the front of the elevator.
  
He got into the car, fastened his seat belt, and they left the office building. Instead of returning home, she drove to a shopping street in the centre of Bay City.
  
Quin Lin guided Fade Chen around all kinds of luxury stores. She changed his attire and appearance from head to toe, from inside to outside, even his aura had changed. The usual frivolous smile is now packed with charm, which could possibly seduce any woman.
  
Of course, it was all the work of the new attire which costed more than 500,000 dollars, which was so expensive that Fade Chen's heart was bleeding.
  
After dressing Fade Chen up. Quin Lin also changed into her dress.
  
The light blue dress was very fitting to her body, which outlined Quin Lin's perfect curvature. The exquisite but understated necklace and earrings she wore gave her a luxurious yet elegant vibe.
  
Even Fade Chen, who had known Quin Lin for a long time, could not help but feel amazed at her. He stared at Quin Lin and felt himself salivating.
  
"What are you looking at? It's getting late. Let's go."
  
Quin Lin rolled her eyes at Fade Chen and turned around but she could not help but smile.
  
Fade Chen wiped the corner of his mouth and quickly followed her. He sat in the passenger seat with a smile on his face. "Dear, I feel a slight regret for agreeing to go to the party."
  
"What's wrong?" Quin Lin couldn't help but feel nervous and stared at Fade Chen. She was afraid that hewould regret and drop out halfway.
  
Fade Chen's eyes sparked and said with a smile, "Because my wife is too beautiful, to think that your beauty will be shown to other men. I feel that I'm the one who will suffer losses!"
  
Quin Lin was stunned and her cheeks blushed. She turned her head away with a serious face and coldly said, "You have a glib tongue." Then she started the car's engine and drove towards the Bay Central Hotel.
  
Fade Chen, who had been staring sideways at Quin Lin, found that his wife began to smile.
  
Soon, at the entrance of the hotel, the two got off and gave the car keys to the parking attendant. Then they stood side by side.
  
Quin Lin took a deep breath and seemed to have made up her mind on something, she smiled and held Fade Chen's arm and said, "Let's go in."
  
This startled Fade Chen. He didn't understand why his wife suddenly became so proactive.
  
Before Fade Chen could ask, Quin Lin explained in a low voice, "Almost all the famous entrepreneurs in Bay City will come to this party. Howard Zhang will also come, so..."
  
"I show up at the cocktail party as your husband to stop other men, especially Howard Zhang. Am I right, honey?" Fade Chen instantly understood.
  
Quin Lin nodded and said, "That's what I mean. The main issue is Howard Zhang. He's not easy to deal with. You have to be careful later."
  
Fade Chen said confidently, "Don't worry, honey. Your husband is a tough one to deal with."
  
Quin Lin rolled her eyes at Fade Chen and said, "Don't talk if you don't know what's going on inside. Just stand by my side and smile."
  
"I understand. Don't worry, my wife. Let's go in. If we don't go in, all the good food and wine would have been eaten by other guests, then it will be a waste." Fade Chen nodded with a look of understanding.
  
Quin Lin felt a faint sense of regret. Was it appropriate for her to bring this man here?
  
But before she could think about it, Fade Chen had already entered the hotel with Quin Lin on his arm.
  
Chapter 36

The gathering of the rich and famous of Bay City was extremely exclusive and luxurious. Fade Chen was mesmerized by the brilliant lighting and decoration. Of course, what excited him the most was the delicious food and wine that was served.
  
If he had not been held back by Quin Lin, Fade Chen would have thrown himself onto the food like an animal and ate boisterous.
  
Quin Lin kept greeting and socializing with other guests while bringing Fade Chen along her. The boring greetings and stiff smiles made Fade Chen feel a little drowsy.
  
Just as Fade Chen was getting bored, Quin Lin suddenly pinched him and whispered, "He is here."
  
Fade Chen looked up. He saw two young men coming over. One of them was dressed in a fancy red suit. It was Quin Lin's brother, Jeremy Lin.
  
Beside Jeremy Lin was a man in a suit in his late twenties. The man was tall, and his good looking face attracted almost all the women's attention while on his way, In addition to that, the slight smile on his face alone could put many women into a state of anxiety.
  
However, in Fade Chen's eyes, his smile was particularly fake and disgusting. He couldn't help but frown and said, "Is he Howard Zhang?"
  
Quin Lin nodded. Howard Zhang and Jeremy Lin were already in front of them. Jeremy Lin sneered and snorted, showing no intention of greeting them.
  
Howard Zhang greeted her with a smile said warmly, "Quin, long time no see."
  
Quin Lin nodded slightly, and her attitude was tense. "Mr. Zhang, you're too polite."
  
However, Howard Zhang was still relaxed, as if he didn't notice Quin Lin's alienation. He still said enthusiastically, "Quin, since we had dinner together the last time, we haven't seen each other for months. During this period, I have made appointments with you several times but you were too busy. This time, I finally see you at this party thanks to Mayor Wu's retirement. I feel much relieved."
  
As a handsome young man and one of the richest people in Bay City, it was rare for him to be so affectionate and even humble to a woman.
  
Many women around them were glancing at Quin Lin with envy and jealousy.
  
Quin Lin frowned slightly. She didn't like Howard Zhang's deliberate way of approaching her. She took a step back and said blandly, "Mr. Zhang must be joking."
  
Howard Zhang continued to smile gently and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, Quin. Why don't we find a seat and have a talk?"
  
As he spoke, Howard Zhang walked over with a smile and reached out to grab Quin Lin's hand.
  
When Fade Chen saw this, anger surged from the bottom of his heart. Who are you to touch my woman? You deliberately pretended that I am invisible, and even reach out to hold my wife's hand.
  
With a slight force, Fade Chen pulled Quin Lin into his arms and reached out to stop Howard Zhang's hand, saying, "My wife Quin has nothing to speak to you about."
  
As soon as he said this, Howard Zhang's face turned cold.
  
He pretended not to see Fade Chen earlier to show his disdain for him. But now, this guy began to provoke him and held Quin Lin in his arms, which made Howard Zhang's temper rise furiously.
  
However, he was a well-known wealthy man, so he did not act aggressively. Howard Zhang remained composed and smiled. He glanced at Fade Chen and said to Quin Lin, "He is.. Quin, why don't you do introduce him?"
  
Quin Lin was in Fade Chen's arms. Smelling the strong scent of the man, her body became soft, her cheeks were hot and her head was dizzy. She could barely register what Howard Zhang was saying to her.
  
As Quin Lin did not respond, Howard Zhang's eyes flashed with anger. Then, he turned to Quin's brother. "You should know about the situation. Please introduce this gentleman to me."
  
Jeremy Lin looked like it was the first time he saw Fade Chen, He looked at Fade Chen up and down and said, "Master Zhang, I'm really sorry. Although I'm Quin's brother, I don't know who this guy is. My sister would not have any contact with such a person."
  
"Oh, I don't know you sir, can you introduce yourself? What do you do for a living and what does your family do?." Howard Zhang said.
  
Looking at these two people echoing each other, how could Fade Chen not notice that they deliberately wanted to embarrass him?
  
Fade Chen sneered, but he did not get annoyed. Instead, he held Quin Lin tighter in his arms, raised the corners of his mouth, smiled playfully, and said, "What a coincidence. You are her brother. In fact, I am also her brother." "Brother!"
  
The crowd was stunned. They didn't know when Quin Lin had such a frivolous brother. Moreover, this guy was obviously younger than Quin Lin!
  
Howard Zhang was also stunned for a moment before he came to his senses. He said to Fade Chen, "Oh, I don't know that Quin has another elder brother."
  
Jeremy Lin directly pointed at Fade Chen's nose and hollered, "Boy, what nonsense are you talking about?"
  
Fade Chen smiled playfully and said, "I'm not talking nonsense. When we sleep together at night, Quin often calls me her 'good brother'.
The whole crowd fell into dead silence.
Everyone was dumbfounded and stared at Fade Chen.
  
Even Quin Lin, who was in Fade Chen's arms, was also stunned. It took her a long time to come to her senses. Full of embarrassment, she clenched her fists and pounded a few times on Fade Chen's chest.
  
An overwhelming sound range in Quin Lin's mind. I told this guy not to talk nonsense before we entered the door, but he had actually said such an embarrassing thing in public.
  
However, Quin Lin also knew that Fade Chen deliberately said this in order to provoke Howard Zhang.
  
But when she thought of the scene Fade Chen described, she couldn't help but recall the memory of her and Fade Chen spooning together in the hotel that fateful night. She couldn't help blushing as red as a rose.
  
This scene had undoubtedly confirmed what Fade Chen just said. The relationship between the of them was not platonic. Even the way Quin Lin hit Fade Chen could be interpreted as being affectionate.
  
At this time, Howard Zhang's face darkened. He stared at Fade Chen fiercely as if he wanted to eat him alive.
  
"Mr. Zhang, long time no see."
  
At this time, a rich businessman who just came in the room smiled and greeted Howard Zhang. He finally broke the awkward silence and the venue was lively again.
 
Chapter 37

Howard Zhang turned his head and smiled at the rich young man, then he threatened Fade Chen in a deep voice, "Your name is Fade Chen and you came to Bay City half a month ago from the rural area of Tianwu City. Then you and Quin Lin had a fake marriage. Let me tell you, this kind of trick won't fool me. Quin will be mine."
  
After that, Howard Zhang turned around and put on a smiling face, he resumed chatting with the rich businessman.
  
Quin Lin finally came to her senses. She blushed and quickly bounced off Fade Chen's arms. She tidied up her messy clothes, glared at Fade Chen and then went to the other side to continue socializing.
  
Fade Chen had no choice but to follow her. After listening for a while, he finally figured out the nature of this party.
  
It turned out that just a month ago, Mayor Wu, the former mayor of Bay City, retired. Before his retirement, Mayor Wu was the vice secretary of the municipal party committee who was in charge of the economy. He was also a person who loved to drink and today was his birthday.
  
Therefore, some citizens simply took this opportunity to hold a party. Firstly, they could express their gratitude and farewell to Mayor Wu; secondly, they could celebrate Mr. Wu's birthday, thirdly, it was also a gathering for the elites of the business industry in Bay City, which made this party achieve many goals simultaneously.
  
As expected, the workaholic Quin Lin soon got to work. She held a glass of wine and talked entrepreneurs into cooperation with her company. Some of them even reached an agreement on the spot.
  
Fade Chen was not interested in this at all, he grew bored. He made an excuse of going to the bathroom, but instead of doing so, he got a plate of dishes, hid in a corner and ate.
  
Just when Fade Chen was enjoying his good wine and was picking up the last piece of juicy steak on his plate.
  
A pair of white and tender hands reached out and grabbed Fade Chen's arm and shook them hard a few times, then a delicate and lovely voice sounded, " Superman, Superman..."
  
The steak was about to enter his mouth but it fell directly from the fork onto Fade Chen's body.
  
Fade Chen quickly got up and shook off the steak. Looking at the grease stains on his expensive trousers, he had a sudden urge of wanting to cry. Not to mention that the good steak was ruined, his suit pants that cost him more than ten thousand dollars were also ruined on the first occasion he had ever worn them to.
  
Immediately, anger rose in Fade Chen's heart. He glared at the source of the sound and shouted fiercely, "You..."
  
However, as soon as he shouted one word, Fade Chen's angry face froze, and then quickly dissipated into a gentle smile.
  
In front of him was a cute little girl at the age of five or six years. The girl was wearing a pink petticoat dress, soft black hair draped over her shoulders, and there was a cute little cat hairpin on it. Inaddition, the little girl had a rosy face and a pair of flickering big eyes. The lovely sight instantly melted Fade Chen's heart.
  
"Superman, what are you eating?" The little girl continued to shake Fade Chen's arm while pointing at him. "What's wrong with you?"  
  
Fade Chen quickly sat down and covered his oil-stained pants with his jacket. He coughed and said, "Kid, I'm eating a steak. Are you hungry?"
  
"I'm hungry!" The little girl replied in a childish tone.
  
Fade Chen hurriedly picked up a spoon of salad and handed it to the little girl's mouth, saying, "Come on, I will feed you."
  
Unexpectedly, the little girl tilted her head and turned her face, saying, " Superman, I don't want to eat this. I want to eat steak."
  
"To eat steak!" Hearing this, Fade Chen felt bliss in his heart. This little girl had the same taste as him. Fade Chen was ready to pick up a steak, but he looked down at his plate. He had finished all the steak. "The steak is finished. How about a drumstick?"
  
Fade Chen took a drumstick, but the little girl was not satisfied. She pouted and said, " Superman, I want to eat steak."
  
"Okay, okay. I'll get some steak for you." Fade Chen had no choice but to get up to look for some steak. As a result, when he looked around, Fade Chen suddenly felt a little embarrassed, because the steak on the nearby counter had been finished by him and no pieces were left.
  
"Brother Superman, have you found the steak?" The little girl was really hungry and pouted.
  
"Ahem!" Fade Chen pointed at the table in the middle of the hall that was displaying with countless food and said, "There is steak over there. Let's go there and eat."
  
"Good, good!" The little girl clapped her hands, held Fade Chen's clothes, and walked toward the middle of the hall.
  
The middle of the hall was where the businessmen and rich people gathered and talked. Each of them was holding a red wine glass but never took a sip, let alone eat. However, at this moment, Fade Chen came over with a little girl, fished out a large plate of steak directly picked up a piece of steak, and started to chew it without caring about his image.
  
Momentarily, everyone was shocked and showed a look of surprise. In their eyes, they couldn't help but show a disdain and walked away from Fade Chen.
  
Quin Lin was discussing business nearby. With such a commotion, she noticed Fade Chen. Watching him wolfing down the food and chewing until the juice spurted out, Quin Lin suddenly felt headache come on. She wanted to pretend that she didn't know this guy.
  
Unexpectedly, he waved a piece of steak and said hello to her, "Quin, are you hungry? This steak tastes good. You should eat one piece."
  
Quin Lin quickly waved her hand and hurriedly walked over in an attempt to stop Fade Chen.
  
But before Quin Lin came over, Howard Zhang came from the other side. He looked at Fade Chen with an exaggerated surprise on his face, and then shouted, "Security guard, security guard, come over here. How can you let such people enter the party? Hurry up and drive them out."
  
Hearing this, Fade Chen's face darkened and he said to Howard Zhang, "Howard Zhang, what is the meaning of this?"
  
Howard Zhang said sarcastically, "I don't mean anything. It's a high-end networking event. How could a beggar like him come in to eat and drink? Did he come in with a fake identity?"
  
At this moment, two security guards came over and stood in front of Fade Chen. They said coldly, "Sir, please show us your invitation."
  
Fade Chen raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Why do you need to check my invitation?"
  
The security guard took a step forward and said, "Sir, I'll give you one last chance. Show me your invitation right away."
  
"So what if I have an invitation? So what if I don't?" Fade Chen said coldly.
  
"If you don't, then we won't hesitate to take action. The security guard raised the baton in his hand.
  
At this moment, Quin Lin walked over with a stiff face and shouted, "This is my husband. What are you trying to do?"
  
The two security guards were stunned when they saw Quin Lin How could they not know the famous beautiful president of Bay City? When they heard that the man was her husband, they almost fell to the ground.
  
"President Lin, We made a mistake. We are sorry." The security guard apologized and explained and then immediately turned around to leave. They certainly knew that they had been used by Howard Zhang, but they could not retaliate against him.
 
Chapter 38

Noticing that his wife was not embarrassed by him and was helping him out, Fade Chen suddenly felt warmth in his heart. He approached her and said intimately, "Dear, thank you."
  
Quin Lin glared at him and said in a low voice, "Put down the steak."
  
Fade Chen chuckled and said, "i'm not full yet!"
  
When Howard Zhang saw the two people chatting intimately, the coldness in his eyes became stronger. Howard Zhang smiled and said in an exaggerated long voice, "I didn't expect that he was Miss Lin's husband. I was really surprised! I didn't expect to meet such a rude person on such an occasion."
  
Hearing this, Quin Lin was angry and was about to speak. However, Fade Chen took the lead and stood out. Fade Chen chewed on the steak in his mouth and said to Howard Zhang, "I really want to ask you, Mr. Zhang, why does eating steak make me a bad-mannered person?"
  
"Humph!" Howard Zhang snorted. "This is a high-end party Those who attend it are all high-end people. Some people are born vulgar and don't even know how to eat. Don't participate in this party. It's embarrassing and affects the atmosphere of the party."
  
"It's just a meal. Just eat with your mouth. Don't talk about etiquette to me or you will just sound like you are showing off!" Fade Chen curled his lip and said.
  
"You are vulgar!" Howard Zhang said disdainfully, "Let's not talk about complex concepts. Do you know how to use basic cutlery ? Do you know the order of a course meal?"
  
Fade Chen shook his head and said, "I don't know about you but not knowing these does not make a person uncivilised. On the contrary, I think that people who are self-righteous and despise others are more vulgar."
  
"Nonsense!" Howard Zhang snorted and said, "Being vulgar is being vulgar. How awful!"
  
Fade Chen said:" So you can differentiate between the rich and poor just by their style of eating?! May I know what kind of noble way do you eat, Mr. Zhang?"
  
"A beggar like you does not deserve to know my way of eating." Howard Zhang mocked him.
  
"Beggar!" Fade Chen's eyes turned frosty. He picked up a piece of steak with the fork in his hand and threw it at Howard Zhang.
  
"Pa!" This hefty steak was smashed on Howard Zhang's face. The splashing sauce from the meat made Howard Zhang's face a mess. His cheeks were swollen due to the heavy force.
  
Howard Zhang had never suffered such a catastrophe in public. Howard Zhang became furious and threw the steak on the ground and shouted, "Security guard! Come here and beat him harshly."
  
The security guards rushed over again. This time, there were more people, five or six in total, who surrounded Fade Chen in unison.
  
Fade Chen and the security guards fought. Seeing this, the little girl, Fish Song pouted in anger. Fish Song threw out the half-eaten steak in her hand towards Howard Zhang. "Bad guy, you are a bad guy. You bullied me and Superman."
  
Unexpectedly, Fish Song is strong for her age. This time, half a piece of steak was hit on Howard Zhang's face again.
  
Howard Zhang was fuming with anger. He stared at the little girl with a ferocious face and shouted angrily, "Are you courting death?"
  
At the same time, Howard Zhang raised his right hand and was about to slap the little girl in the face. Judging from his momentum, if the little girl was hit, she would definitely be badly injured.
  
But just then, a hurried female voice suddenly shouted, "Stop."
  
At the same time, the clacking of high heels resounded and a 30-year-old young woman came in hastily with anger and anxiety.
  
The young woman was wearing a tight purple dress, which outlined her perfect body. Under her black curly hair, her slender eyes looked very tempting. A little black mole next to her left eyebrow added a unique charm.
  
Like a ripe red apple, her every movement exuded an alluring smell.
  
The young woman attracted everyone's attention, but at this moment, Howard Zhang, whose mind was occupied by anger, had no time to care about this. Howard Zhang's palm moved with the wind and was about to hit the little girl's face. He scolded fiercely, "B*tch!"
  
Seeing this, the young woman was furious. She quickly stepped forward and stood in front of the little girl to block Howard Zhang's slap.
  
Howard Zhang shouted angrily, "Get out of the way..."
But before Howard Zhang finished his words, he finally saw the woman's face clearly, he was so scared that he shivered and quickly withdrew his hand. Howard Zhang forced out an unappealing smile and said to the young woman, "Miss Wu, why are you here?"
  
"What's wrong with me being here? Do you want to beat me and my daughter?" The young woman said coldly.
  
At this moment, Howard Zhang was crying in his heart. Howard Zhang did not expect that this woman would appear and that the uncivilised girl was her daughter.
  
They must know, that the young woman in front of him was the most important figure in this banquet. She was the only daughter of Mayor Wu, Mindy Wu. Then this little girl was Mayor Wu's favourite granddaughter, Fish Song.
  
However, Mindy Wu and Fish Song rarely attend parties. Unfortunately for Howard Zhang, he had provoked them and was now in serious trouble.
  
Although Mayor Wu has retired, he had been working hard in Bay City for many years. Mr. Wu had a deep foundation and a wide network of people. These businessmen were no match for him.
  
Moreover, Charles Wu, the son of Mr. Wu who was also Mindy Wu's brother, was a big shot in the business world. The Red Star Mall founded by Charles Wu was not only doing well in Bay City but also had received great response from the citizens in the provincial cities. Charles Wu's net worth had already increased by more than 10 billion.
  
Howard Zhang, who was usually arrogant, also had to bow his head at this moment because he knew that if he opposed Mayor Wu, he would bring great trouble to his own family.
  
Taking a breath, Howard Zhang squeezed out a smile and explained, "Miss Wu, it's just a misunderstanding. I, I just..."
  
Mindy Wu interrupted him and coldly said, "Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, I can see it clearly. You don't have to speak."
  
The little girl, Fish Song, said in a childish voice, "Mom, he just scolded me and wanted to hit me."
  
Howard Zhang's face was stiff and beads of sweat started to appear on his forehead. He quickly bowed sincerely and said in a low voice, "Miss Wu, I'm really sorry for offending Fish Song. It's my fault. I sincerely apologize to you and your daughter. I hope you can forgive me."
  
The little girl, Fish Song, said unhappily, "You called someone to beat Superman, you must apologize to him too!"
  
Howard Zhang's face twitched. Howard Zhang held back his unhappiness and forced a smile and apologized to Fade Chen with a 90-degree bow, "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry for what happened just now. I sincerely apologize to you."
 
Chapter 39

 
However, Mindy Wu did not speak. Howard Zhang did not dare to get up so he could only keep bowing.
  
Mindy Wu did not look at Howard Zhang at all. Mindy Wu held Fish Song in her arms and walked to Fade Chen. Mindy Wu bowed slightly and apologized, "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry that my daughter have caused you some trouble. Please forgive us.
  
Fade Chen had just learned about Mindy Wu's identity from Quin Lin. Fade Chen was a little confused and did not expect Mindy Wu to do such a thing. Fade Chen paused for a moment and replied with a smile, "Miss Wu, you're too polite. Fish was very cute. There is absolutely no trouble."
  
The little girl, Fish Song also applauded pleasingly at this moment, "Mom, Superman just got me steak to eat!"
  
Fade Chen glanced at Fish Song's hand and clothes that were covered with grease, her forehead were full of dirt too. Fade Chen was discreetly worried that Mindy Wu would blame him for being a bad influence to her daughter.
  
Fortunately, Mindy Wu did not mind at all. Mindy Wu glanced at Howard Zhang who was still bowing and said to Fade Chen, "Mr Chen, if you are satisfied with his apology, let him get up. If you are not satisfied, then Mr Zhang should continue to apologize until you are satisfied."
  
Upon hearing this, many guests were stunned and puzzled.
  
They never expected that such a thing could happen. This woman forced Howard Zhang to bow and apologize to a man coming from a small village and even let him decide if he should forgive Howard Zhang or not.
  
"How did this kid get to know Miss Wu?" Someone whispered.
  
"Who is he? Is he really Quin Lin's husband?" The crowds was filled with suspense.
  
"Even if he is Quin Lin's husband, it's impossible to receive such treatment from Miss Wu." Everyone was full of questions about Fade Chen.
------
For a while, all kinds of guesses were exchanged. Even Quin Lin herself looked at Fade Chen with a puzzled look. Quin Lin didn't know how her poor husband knew such a respected figure. Fade Chen was a little confused. He patted his head and thought for a while, but he still didn't remember how he knew this young woman.
  
"Mr Chen, I'm going to change my daughter's clothes, I'll leave first." Mindy Wu held the little girl in her arms, bowed slightly to Fade Chen and then went back.
  
Fade Chen was still in a daze, but Quin Lin nudged him and pointed at Howard Zhang.
  
Fade Chen walked up to Howard Zhang and said unsympathetically, "Raise your head!"
  
Howard Zhang's was slightly relieved. After bowing for so long, Howard Zhang's waist felt almost broken so he rapidly stood up.
  
However, just as Howard Zhang stood up and was about to see what's in front of him, he heard a whirring wind before he was slapped heavily on his mouth.
  
"This is a punishment to you for not thinking before you say anything!" Fade Chen said.
  
 Howard Zhang's mouth was swollen. Howard Zhang was furious and wanted to hit Fade Chen. Howard Zhang said, "Fade Chen, yo."
  
But then, Fade Chen's cold voice sounded, "This is a lesson for you. Are you sure you want to fight with me?'
  
Howard Zhang's face was stiff, and his fist stopped mid air. Howard Zhang squeezed out an ugly smile and forced a few words out of his mouth, "Thank you for your lesson!"
  
"If you like it, I will let you continue bowing!" Fade Chen ordered Howard Zhang. Then Fade Chen reached out to hold Quin Lin's slender waist and said intimately, "Dear, the fruit over there is very delicious. Let's go over there."
  
Behind Fade Chen, Howard Zhang stood there and looked at Fade Chen's back, and the anger in his eyes was overflowing profusely.
  
Half an hour later, there was a burst of music in the banquet and the lights went dark.
  
Knowing that the most important part of the night was about to begin, everyone stopped talking and looked at a stage in the middle of the hall.
  
Then, a spotlight lit up and hit the center of the stage. An old man in his sixties appeared under the spotlight. His hair was grey but his face was still youthful. There was a kind of uniqueness in his eyes. He was undoubtedly the protagonist of this banquet, the retired mayor John Wu, commonly known as Mr. Wu.
  
On the stage, Mr Wu simply said a few words to thank everyone for holding this banquet for him, hoping that they all have fun.
  
After speaking, it was time to celebrate Mr. Wu's birthday Mindy Wu took her daughter, Fish Song together and pushed out a huge cake with a smile. Mindy Wu lit the candles, let Mr. Wu made a wish and blew out the candles, and then  shared the cake out.
  
Next, Mindy Wu and Fish Song gave Mr. Wu birthday presents they had prepared. These were not expensive items but were gifts they had personally made. When Mr. Wu saw his granddaughter had made a drawing on her own and gave it to him as a gift, Mr Wu laughed delightedly.
  
After the family members passed him their birthday gifts, the guests start to give their presents to Mr. Wu one after another.
  
 Of course, everyone knew Mr. Wu's personality and hence would not give expensive gifts. Therefore, they appealed to Mr. Wu's favourite... Wine, and sent a lot of wine in different ways. These wines were not expensive so Mr. Wu did not refuse and all of them were accepted. Mr. Wu even tasted some of it on the spot, causing a burst of cheers and the atmosphere became more lively.
  
Quin Lin also prepared a bottle of wine as a gift to Mr. Wu. It was not expensive, but it took her a lot of effort to find it. She specially sent people to get this original rice wine from an old wine shop in the countryside.
  
Mr. Wu liked it very much. After drinking a glass of wine on the spot, he patted his legs and said "Amazing!", which made many entrepreneurs envious.
  
Howard Zhang is up next. He had changed his clothes and tidied up his hair. Although his face was still red and swollen, his dressing made him look neat.
  
However, Howard Zhang had obviously been bending down for a long time, so he could not walk fast, he needed Jeremy Lin to hold and help him out.
  
Finally, he came to Mr Wu. Howard Zhang took out a small bottle of red wine and introduced it with a smile, "Mr. Wu, this bottle of red wine is from Bordeaux, France. It shares the same cellar as the famous 1982 Lafite. However, due to its low production volume, it's only enough to provide for the French royal family, so it's not very popular."
  
"When I went to Europe for a business trip a few months ago, I happened to learn about the existence of such a great wine. I thought of your birthday which was coming soon, so I asked someone to buy it for you. Tonight, I will give it to you. I wish you a long and prosperous life and may you taste all the great wines in this world."
  
"You are thoughtful." Mr. Wu nodded, and his attitude was not very enthusiastic. Obviously, Mr. Wu had already known the incident that had happened to his granddaughter, Fish Song.
  
Sensing this, Howard Zhang's heart skipped a beat. He gently gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Wu, today is the perfect day. With such good wine, I would like to propose a toast to you."
  
With this, Howard Zhang opened the bottle, took two goblets and poured wine into both of it, and handed one to Mr. Wu.
  
Mr. Wu was not in the mood at first, but when the scarlet-red wine was sent to him, his eyes suddenly lit up. He could not help but gently sniff and began to smell the wine.
  
Seeing this, Howard Zhang was delighted and knew that it was a good sign that Mr. Wu liked it. He raised his glass and said, "Cheers to you, Mr. Wu. Then Howard Zhang drank it up.
  
Mr. Wu was really attracted by the unique aroma of this wine. He gently raised his glass and was ready to taste it.
  
But at this moment, a loud voice came from the side, "Mr. Wu, you can't drink this wine!"
 
Chapter 40

Hearing the voice, everyone was stunned. Then they all looked over and found that it was Fade Chen.
  
Howard Zhang was angry and shouted, "Fade Chen, what do you mean?"
  
Fade Chen didn't even look at Howard Zhang. He took a step forward and said to Mr. Wu, "Mr. Wu, there's something wrong with this wine. You can't drink it."
  
"Fade Chen, what are you talking about? How can there be any problem with my wine? You are slandering me. Howard Zhang hurriedly shouted and then explained to Mr. Wu, "Mr. Wu, my wine is absolutely fine. specifically.."
  
Before Howard Zhang could finish his explanation, Mr. Wu looked at Fade Chen and asked, "Mr. Chen, you said there's something wrong with this wine and I can't drink it. What do you mean?"
  
Beside him, Quin Lin quietly pinched Fade Chen's arm and flashed him a look of warning. Fade Chen smiled at her, nodded slightly, and then said to Mr. Wu, "Mr. Wu, this wine is not suitable for you. If I'm not wrong, you have minor cardiovascular problems, am I right? Drinking this wine will only make it worse."
  
"Oh, how do you know my condition?" Mr. Wu was a little surprised. Fade Chen was right about his problem.
  
Fade Chen said blandly, "I'm a doctor."
  
Mr. Wu still had questions for him, but Howard Zhang stepped forward and said, "Mr. Wu, his words are just nonsense and deliberately targeted at offending me. Besides, red wine has the function of softening blood vessels. So it should help your cardiovascular problem, how can it worsen the disease? He obviously wants to provoke me."
  
Howard Zhang winked to the people behind him, signalling them to help him.
  
Immediately, many entrepreneurs who were familiar with him stood up and spoke for Howard Zhang.
  
"Mr. Chen, we saw the conflict between you and Howard Zhang. But you should not use such a lowly method to slander Howard Zhang." One of them said.
  
"The gift Howard Zhang gave to Mr. Wu was carefully selected. How could there be any problem? This kind of slander is simply ridiculous." Someone continued to said.
  
"In my opinion, it was because he saw that Mr. Zhang's gift was so good that he deliberately found an excuse to stop Mr. Wu from tasting the wine. He was worried that Mr Zhang would steal Quin Lin's spotlight."
--
In the midst of the discussion, many people nodded their heads, as if they had seen through Fade Che's guise and even brought Quin Lin into the discussion.
  
Howard Zhang glanced proudly at Fade Chen, who had become the target of public criticism. Then Howard Zhang turned to Mr. Wu and said with confidence, "Mr. Wu, I can guarantee that there is nothing wrong with my wine. Please have a taste."
  
Mr. Wu looked at the wine and sniffed. Perhaps Mr. Wu was really tempted by this rare wine, or perhaps he didn't want to embarrass Howard Zhang. So Mr. Wu picked up the glass and said, "Then I'll have a try."
  
He looked at Fade Chen and said, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Chen. But I have no other hobbies but to taste good wine. When I meet good wine, I can't help but want to have a try." Mr. Wu did this to not left Fade Chen in embarrassment.
  
Mr. Wu then picked up the glass and took a sip. After tasting for a few seconds, his eyes lit up, and then he drank several times in a row. Finally, he sighed and said, "Good wine, it's really good! Howard Zhang, thanks for this."
  
Upon hearing this, Howard Zhang beamed proudly. Howard Zhang deliberately looked at Fade Chen and Quin Lin, and the provocative look in his eyes was very clear.
  
However, Fade Chen was indifferent and ignored Howard Zhang's provocation. Fade Chen quietly took out a cloth bag from his arms and spread it on the table. Fade Chen then pulled out the silver needles inside it and began to disinfect them one by one.
  
Seeing this, Howard Zhang frowned and shouted, "Fade Chen, what are you doing?"
  
Fade Chen said lightly, "1 just said that there is something wrong with your wine, and Mr. Wu can't drink it. So, I am preparing silver needles in advance for an emergency."
  
"You are still talking nonsense. Are you cursing Mr. Wu?" Howard Zhang said viciously.
  
Hearing this, Quin Lin quickly poked Fade Chen's arm and gave him a wink to remind him of his place.
  
Fade Chen gently pinched Quin Lin's hand, showing a comforting smile, and continued to disinfect silver needles. "We'll see who's right and who's wrong later."
  
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed and they began to discuss discreetly. They whispered amongst themselves that Quin Lin had found such a terrible husband that had offended Mr. Wu. In future, Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc would not be able to survive in Bay City for long.
  
Even Mr. Wu himself could not help but frown slightly. After all, no one wanted to be cursed to be ill on their birthday.
  
Witnessing this, Howard Zhang quickly poured a glass of wine for Mr. Wu. "Mr. Wu, calm down. Let me toast to you another glass of wine."
  
Mr. Wu raised his glass and was about to drink it.
  
But just as the wine glass was moving closer to Mr. Wu's mouth, his hand shook violently and his eyes over before he collapsed.
  
All of a sudden, the scene was in chaos.
Fortunately, Mr. Wu's personal doctor was present and immediately came over. After checking Mr. Wu's condition, he hurriedly said to Mindy Wu, "No way, it's a heart attack. It's more serious than usual."
  
"Doctor Lee, please treat him immediately!" Mindy Wu was also anxious.
  
But Doctor Lee looked helpless and said, "Miss Wu, I don't have any instruments and medicine with me so I can't conduct any procedure now. Please send him to the hospital as soon as possible."
  
Mindy Wu quickly took out her mobile phone and made an emergency call. As for Howard Zhang, he was completely dumbfounded. The wine splashed all over his body, but he was too shocked to care about it.
  
At this time, Fade Chen had disinfected all the silver needles. Fade Chen came over and said, "Mr. Wu condition is urgent now. It will be too late to send him to the hospital. Let me treat him.
  
Dr Lee looked suspicious and stopped in front of Fade Chen. "Are you a Chinese traditional doctor? Can a Chinese traditional doctor treat heart disease?"
  
Fade Chen didn't intend to argue with him. Fade Chen just said to Mindy Wu, "Mindy Wu, Mr. Wu's illness is too urgent. We can't delay it any longer."
  
At this moment, Howard Zhang also came back to his senses and quickly came over with concern. He stood with Dr. Lee and said, "Miss Wu, you can't believe this guy! The most important thing now is to send Mr. Wu to the hospital, I have contacted my private hospital and have had the emergency room prepared."
  
Mindy Wu was a little hesitant. Mr. Wu's face was getting redder and redder, and his body started to twitch violently. His condition was getting worse and worse.
  
Fade Chen's face became very serious and he said, "Miss Wu, I have to perform acupuncture on Mr. Wu immediately, otherwise it will be difficult to ensure he makes a full recovery."
  
Howard Zhang quickly stepped forward to stop them. "Miss Wu, you can't believe these lies!"
  
Mindy Wu looked at her father and then looked at Fade Chen. Finally, she gritted her teeth and nodded, "Mr. Chen, believe you. Please save my father."
  
Fade Chen nodded and pushed Howard Zhang away.
  
Howard Zhang looked anxious and wanted to say something to Mindy Wu, but Mindy Wu waved her hand to stop him.
  
Under everyone's gaze, Fade Chen placed Mr. Wu's body flat, untied his collar button, pressed gently on Mr. Wu's chest and then took out a silver needle and decisively stabbed it into Mr. Wu's heart.
  
Chapter 41

Witnessing the long silver needle pierce into Mr. Wu's heart, made everyone's hearts twitch in fright.
  
Howard Zhang took the opportunity to say to Mindy Wu, "Miss Wu, there's no such treatment method. That's the heart. How can you perform acupuncture on it like this? If you're not careful, I'm afraid.."
  
While Howard Zhang was still talking, Fade Chen took out two more silver needles and plunged them into Mr. Wu's heart, which shocked everyone.
  
Next, there was another series of dazzling needles. Mr. Wu's chest was covered with many silver needles, which made people's eyes dazzle in astonishment.
  
A few minutes later, Fade Chen quickly pulled out all the silver needles, got up and walked to the corner of the room.
  
Everyone could not help but look at Fade Chen quizzically.
  
Howard Zhang looked at Mr. Wu, who was silent on the ground, and he felt terrified by what Fade Chen had done. He shouted, "Fade Chen, you're just randomly stabbing, now you can't do anything about it, so you want to escape now?"
  
Howard Zhang's shouts caused a chaos among the crowd. Mr. Wu was still lying on the ground, his face still red and his eyes were still white, showing absolutely no signs of waking up.
  
Even Mindy Wu could not help but feel suspicious.
  
Howard Zhang caught her thoughts immediately. Howard Zhang waved his hand and shouted, "Guards, come here and catch Fade Chen."
  
Within a second, the security guards gathered around.
At that moment, Fade Chen was taking out a wine bag made of animal skin from the bag he left in the corner of the room. He poured a glass of wine from the bag, and walked over with the wine glass in his hand.
  
"Fade Chen, surrender now!" Howard Zhang shouted.
Fade Chen looked calm and said, "Why should I surrender?
  
"You are not a doctor at all. You randomly stabbed Mr. Wu and hurt him. Do you still want to defend yourself?" Howard Zhang roared with a face full of justice.
  
"Are you saying that I'm not a doctor? Do you have medical skills?" Fade Chen looked disdainful.
  
Howard Zhang said, "I do not have medical skills, but I can see this clearly. After your acupuncture treatment, Mr. Wu did not wake up. Instead, Mr. Wu's condition has become more serious."
  
"Who said that Mr Wu's condition is more serious? Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand the situation." Fade Chen rolled his eyes at Howard Zhang. "Besides, I came here with wine for Mr. Wu. He will wake up after drinking my wine."
  
"You are lying!" Howard Zhang said, "Mr. Wu fell ill after drinking wine. And now you want to let Mr. Wu drink wine again? This is not treating the disease, you are hurting people!"
  
"Is your wine the same as mine? It is not at the same level. Don't compare them at all." Fade Chen said while start shaking the glass in his hand, the dregs in the wine swirling with the glass.
  
Seeing this, Howard Zhang said, "You call this wine? They are full of dregs and are so muddy. How can you give them to Mr. Wu?"
  
Fade Chen did not bother to argue with him. Fade Chen went straight over and was about to feed Mr. Wu the wine.
  
Howard Zhang was anxious and hurriedly said to Mindy Wu, "Miss Wu, you can't joke with Mr. Wu's life! What's this wine? It's just a cup of turbid liquid!"
  
Mindy Wu's expression was a little hesitant at the moment. After all, this concerned her father's safety, so she could not be careless.
  
At this moment, the little girl Fish Song held Mindy Wu's leg and shook it Fish Song said in a delicate voice, "Mom, mom. I believe in Superman. He is a superman. There must be a way to save my grandfather."
  
Hearing her daughter's words, Mindy Wu raised her hand to stop Howard Zhang's persuasion. She nodded to Fade Chen and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chen."
  
Howard Zhang was so anxious and worried. He began, "Miss Wu, no..."
  
  
Meanwhile, Fade Chen had already given Mr. Wu some wine and patted his back gently.
Soon, the red colour on Mr. Wu's face slowly dissipated. Finally, Mr. Wu coughed violently and awoke.
  
This time, everyone was shocked. Howard Zhang, who was still trying to persuade Mindy Wu, also stopped immediately, with an incredulous expression on his face.
  
After Mr. Wu woke up, he saw Fade Chen at first sight and immediately felt guilty. He said, "Fade Chen, I am really sorry. I didn't listen to you, and it turned out to be this way. I am sorry for causing trouble for you."
  
Fade Chen chuckled and said, "Mr. Wu, you're too polite. I'm a doctor. It's my job to cure diseases and save lives. You don't have to worry about it."
  
At this time, Mindy Wu also came over. She nodded to Fade Chen with gratitude and apology on her face and said, "Thank you for saving him, Mr. Chen."
  
Even Dr. Lee, who had not been on good terms with Fade Chen earlier, stepped forward and bowed to Fade Chen with a guilty face. He said, "Doctor Chen's medical skills are brilliant. I am ashamed that I have offended you just now. But I have something I don't know. I want to consult you."
  
"Dr. Lee, you're welcome. Please ask away!"
"It is true that Mr. Wu has some problems with his cardiovascular system. But he has drunk a lot of wine before, especially a lot of red wine. There was no problem before. But why was there a problem when he drank Howard Zhang's red wine today? How did this happen.."
  
As soon as this question emerged, everyone's faces brimmed with curiosity. As for Howard Zhang, he was sweating and wanted to turn away immediately.
  
Fade Chen glanced at Howard Zhang and said, "In fact, Mr. Wu's disease has nothing to do with red wine itself. It's just because the bottle of red wine given by Howard Zhang is far too old and had been brought back from abroad. Bacteria in the wine may have multiplied too much, which stimulates blood vessels, leading to Mr. Wu illness suddenly becoming more serious."
  
"I see. Thank you for the advice." Dr. Lee bowed slightly and said.
Mr. Wu nodded. Howard Zhang, whose face was full of sweat, rushed to Mr. Wu and said, "Mr. Wu, I did not know that this would happen. It's all my fault that you were in danger. Please punish me."
  
Mr. Wu waved his hand and said lightly, "It's ok, you didn't know too. Causing me illness was not your intention. Since I am all right now, let us forget about it."
  
Howard Zhang thanked him again and again as if he had been granted amnesty.
  
However, judging from Mr. Wu's indifferent attitude, everyone could tell that the Zhang family was definitely in trouble this time. Even if Mr. Wu did not blame the Zhang family any more, his attitude towards the Zhang family would not be as enthusiastic as before.
  
After a few more words, Mindy Wu and Dr. Lee insisted that Mr. Wu should go back and rest.
  
But then, Mr. Wu suddenly sniffed, looked at the glass in front of him filled with wine, and said to Fade Chen, "Fade Chen, what did you pour for me just now? Do you still have it?"
  
Fade Chen took out the leather wine bag and poured out a glass of wine for Mr. Wu. He handed it over and said, "It's a homemade fruit wine. There are also some Chinese herbal medicine materials added in it, which has certain effects of relieving tendons and revitalizing the drinker."
  
Chapter 42

"Fruit wine!" Mr. Wu picked up the wine glass and sniffed it. Mr. Wu's eyes were attracted by it, and then he picked up the wine glass and drank it up. In an instant, Mr. Wu face was full of excitement and surprise. Mr. Wu couldn't help but pat his thighs and said, "What a good wine! Fade Chen, may I have one more shot?"
  
Everyone was shocked when they saw this situation. They began murmuring in dissent to each other. They didn't expect that the wine they had carefully selected and spent so much effort to bring to Mr Wu could not compare with this common fruit wine brewed casually by some villager. If they had known that Mr. Wu liked this fruit wine, they would have bought some instead.
  
Just as everyone was secretly venting their regret, Mr. Wu held his wine glass and observed it carefully this time. Mr. Wu took a small sip and looked as if he was reminiscing about something. Finally, Mr. Wu put down the wine glass.
  
This time, everyone's expression changed, and they were guessing what Old Wu meant.
  
"Why did you put it down? Is there something wrong with the fruit wine?"
  
"I think Mr. Wu had felt novelty when he first tasted the fruit wine. Now that Mr. Wu has taste it again, he must have thought that it's average."
  
"I think it's because the quality of the wine is bad. Perhaps there are some dregs and that's why Mr. Wu doesn't want to drink it."
  
"Yes it must that. After all, it was made by an ordinary villager. It's too low-end."
  
Just as everyone was guessing, Mr. Wu sighed, stood up and bowed to Fade Chen, then said, "Fade Chen, not only do I have to thank you for saving my life this time, but I also have to thank you for giving me such precious wine for free.
  
Precious wine?" Everyone was puzzled. Wasn't this just an ordinary fruit wine? How could it be precious? Was it just because there was some Chinese herbal medicine in it?
  
Looking at the confused crowd, Mr. Wu carefully raised the glass of fruit wine and said loudly, "This is not an ordinary fruit wine, but a healthy herbal wine specially made by the wise saints who live deep in the woods."
  
"A healthy herbal wine?" Everyone was confused.
Mr. Wu's eyes lit up and said, "This so-called healthy herbal wine is made of an essence of plants, vegetables, herbs, brewed together to make this precious wine. It has all kinds of magical effects and cannot be bought from a general market.
  
"The last time I drank this wine was when I met the Governor in the provincial capital. When I met him, I was lucky enough to drink it once. And the Governor's wine was given to him by a Taoist master 10 years ago. Because it was so precious, he only drank a little each time and drank it intermittently for 10 years." Mr. Wu said.
  
"The wine that Fade Chen gave me, seems to be better than what the Governor had given to me whether in taste or effect. What a rare treasure!" Mr. Wu continued to said.
  
After hearing Old Wu's words, everyone was dumbfounded. They never expected that this plain-looking fruit wine had such a big backstory and was so precious.
  
For a moment, everyone's eyes on Fade Chen changed. Their eyes were full of doubt and curiosity. This young man, Fade Chen, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, had somehow become Quin Lin's husband, and then praised for his medical skills. The seemingly common fruit wine he brought was turned out to also be an exotic precious wine.
  
Who on earth is Fade Chen? For a moment, everyone had so many questions for Fade Chen.
  
Even Quin Lin's heart was in turmoil at this moment. She did not expect that this cheap husband she picked up on the street had so much potential. For a moment, she did not know how to face Fade Chen.
  
After introducing the healthy herbal wine, Mr. Wu held his wine glass and tasted it again reluctantly, afraid that he was going to finish it too fast.
  
Seeing this, Fade Chen simply gave the remaining half bottle of wine to Old Wu. After all, when he was in Tianwu Mountain, he casually made this fruit wine. It was not a very precious thing for him.
  
After receiving the fruit wine, Mr. Wu was even more delighted. Mr. Wu stayed on for a while, exchanged greetings with the crowd, and then retired from the party ahead of time.
  
As a result, many entrepreneurs left one after another. Among them, Howard Zhang was the most embarrassed and he was the first one to rush out with his head down, wishing he could leave this place immediately.
  
Fade Chen and Quin Lin were also ready to say goodbye and leave, but as soon as they walked out, Mr. Wu stopped them and said that he wanted to talk to Fade Chen.
  
Fade Chen agreed and followed Mr. Wu to his room. Quin Lin followed too.
  
Upon witnessing this, other entrepreneurs were very envious. They thought that Quin Lin was so lucky to have found such a husband and had successfully gotten support from Mr.Wu. After tonight, the business of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc must be a lot easier.  
  
After arriving at his room, Mr. Wu expressed his gratitude to Fade Chen. Then he called for Mindy Wu and Fish Song to come over and said, "Thanks Fade Chen for saving your lives. Quick!"
  
Mindy Wu came over and stood straight. She bowed deeply to Fade Chen and said, "Thank you for saving my life, Mr. Chen."
  
The little girl Fish Song also bowed to Fade Chen like her mother and said sweetly, "Thank you for saving me and my mother, Superman."
  
Looking at the two grateful people, Quin Lin looked puzzled and looked at Fade Chen. At this moment, Fade Chen was also confused. He didn't understand why they had thanked him. "Mindy Wu, Fish Song, get up quickly. But I don't understand, why did you.."
  
Mindy Wu looked at Fade Chen and said, "Mr. Chen, did you forget what had happened the other day?"
  
Fish Song also said in a delicate voice, " Superman, don't you remember mom and me?"
  
Fade Chen shook his head with an awkward laugh. Fade Chen really didn't remember when he met this mother and daughter.
  
Mindy Wu sighed softly and then said with a smile, "That night, I took Fish for a walk on the side of the road, and suddenly there was a silver Mercedes rushed towards us. At that time, Mr. Chen dodged the car, but Fish and I were too scared to move. Mr. Chen rushed back and stopped the car and saved us."
  
Mr. Chen, you literally stop the car with just your palm. Fish thought you were a superman."
  
Upon hearing this, Fade Chen and Quin Lin suddenly realized that it was also the first time Fade Chen had met Quin Lin.
  
The driver of the silver Mercedes Quin Lin, who was drugged at that time. At the thought of this, Quin Lin's face could not help but twist and her mouth moved as if she wanted to say something.
  
However, Fade Chen gently pinched her hand and shook his head slightly. Then he said "You're welcome," to Mindy Wu and Fish Song.
  
Mindy Wu was still grateful, but Mr. Wu was a little anxious and interrupted her daughter's gratitude. He looked at Fade Chen with a flattering smile and said, "Fade Chen, I don't know if your healthy herbal wine is.."
  
Seeing her father's look, Mindy Wu was a little angry and said, "Dad, you have said that the healthy herbal wine is very precious. Mr. Chen has given you so much, how can you ask for more?"
  
The little girl, Fish Song also made a few gestures with her fingers on her own face and said with a charming smile, "Grandfather, you're too greedy."

  
Chapter 43

Mr. Wu blushed and was about to wave his hand.
  
Fade Chen smiled and said, "If you like it, I'll get you more fruit wine next time.
  
"Is it convenient?" Mr. Wu said, "By the way, tell me how much the wine costs. I'll pay you now."
  
Fade Chen waved his hand and said, "No, no. Mr Wu, I made the wine myself. It's just some ingredients. It isn't worth much. You don't have to be so polite with me."
  
"Thank you so much, Little Chen." Mr Wu's attitude became more enthusiastic.
  
Later, Mr Wu was happily chatting with Fade Chen, telling him all sorts of stories about his family, almost as if Fade was part of his family too.
  
Mindy Wu was serving tea and water with a dainty smile, she looked very virtuous. It was impossible to connect this demure demeanor with her glamorous and charming appearance.
  
As for the little girl Fish Song, she continued to follow Fade Chen around. She was pestering Fade Chen unendingly, and kept calling him 'Brother Superman' while playing happily.
  
A thought unconsciously entered Mr. Wu's mind. He looked at Fade Chen and asked, " Chen, you are not married yet, are you?"
  
"Eh?" Fade Chen was a little surprised. He didn't expect Mr. Wu to suddenly ask this question.
  
Mr. Wu pointed to Mindy Wu beside him and said, "What do you think of Mindy Wu, Chen?"
  
"Ah!" This time, Fade Chen was even more surprised and completely confused.
  
Mr. Wu pulled Mindy Wu over and hurriedly said, "Chen, know that Mindy Wu is older than you are, and that she has a child. But look at her appearance. I think you know my family's condition. Although I've retired, my son is establishing a company that is of a big scale and doesn't need to worry about money. Besides, you and Fish are on good terms. I think it will be great if you two can get together.
  
Fade Chen was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that Mr. Wu would suddenly matchmake him with his daughter this way.
  
Mindy Wu was also surprised, but the blush on her charming face made her even more attractive.
  
Even the little girl Fish Song clapped her hands and said, "Brother Superman, if you live with my mother, we can play together in future."
  
"What do you think, Chen?" Mr. Wu asked expectantly.
  
"This..." Fade Chen didn't know how to explain. He couldn't help but look at Quin Lin, who was next to him. However, Quin Lin looked indifferent as if she didn't care about how Fade Chen would choose. Mr. Wu thought that Fade Chen would not make a decision for now, so he added, "Chen, you can think about it when you go back. You can give me your answer next time. Mindy and I can wait."
  
Fade Chen grew troubled. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Mr. Wu, no, I can't..."
  
"Chen, you don't like Mindy?" Mr. Wu asked.
Fade Chen quickly waved his hand and said, "No, I don't mean that!"
  
"Then why don't you agree? Or do you dislike Mindy for being old and divorced?" Mr. Wu asked.
  
"No, no..." Fade Chen felt that his tongue was knotted. He quickly smoothed his tongue and talked hastily, "Mr. Wu, understand your kindness. Mindy is also an excellent woman. But I'm married."
  
"What? You're married? When did you get married? With who?" Mr. Wu looked regretful.
  
Fade Chen looked at Quin Lin beside him and said, "We got married not long ago. She is my wife."
  
"What!" At this point, Mr Wu and Mindy Wu were both shocked and looked at them in surprise. "Quin Lin is your wife?"
  
Previously, when Fade Chen and Quin Lin announced their relationship in front of Howard Zhang, Mindy Wu and Mr. Wu was not around, so they did not know that the two were a couple. They thought they were just relatives or business partners.
  
Now, when they heard that Fade Chen was Quin Lin's husband, they were extremely shocked. After their surprise subsided, they felt a little embarrassed. After all, it was inappropriate for them to suggest that he marry somebody else in front of his wife.
  
Quin Lin, I was confused just now. I'm sorry." Mr. Wu apologized.
  
"Ms. Lin, my dad was joking. Please don't mind," Mindy Wu said in a hurry.
  
Quin Lin smiled and said, "Mr Wu and Mindy, you are too polite. I won't mind."
  
In the wake of this little confusion, Mr Wu could not bring himself to chat with Fade Chen any longer. He exchanged contact information with Fade Chen, then he let Quin Lin and Fade Chen leave.
  
Quin Lin got on to the car and returned home. She kept a straight face and said nothing along the way.
  
Fade Chen felt uneasy. He squeezed out a smile and said to Quin Lin, "Dear, why are you unhappy? Are you still angry with what happened just now?"
  
"I'm not angry!" Quin Lin rolled her eyes at Fade Chen and turned around to enter the house.
  
Fade Chen quickly followed her and said, "Are you jealous? Mr. Wu did not figure out the situation correctly and made a mistake."
  
"I have an agreement with you. You can do whatever you want. I don't care. How can I be jealous?" Quin Lin said bluntly and walked upstairs.
  
Fade Chen looked at his wife's cold face and sighed softly. Instead of following her, he turned around and walked away.
  
Quin Lin went upstairs, walked into the house, slammed the door, and then collapsed on her bed. Her cold face suddenly became full of jealousy. She whispered, "I really don't know what's so good about this guy. He even made Mr. Wu take a fancy to him and introduce his own daughter to him."
  
"Humph, he had been staring at her and almost drooled when he saw Mindy Wu."
  
"I think if I hadn't been there, he would have agreed instantly. After all, that was Mindy Wu. She has money, power, and a pretty face. Which man would not be tempted?"
  
"What's more, this guy is a fool. He even asked if I was jealous. Given I am a woman, how could I not feel jealous? Moreover, I am his wife - albeit just a contractual wife!
  
Perhaps it is even worse, in his heart, I am not even a woman."
  
"Humph, he's a bad guy, a bad guy! He doesn't even know how to comfort me - he just left!" Quin Lin held the huge Doraemon doll in her arms and slapped it hard, as if to vent her dissatisfaction.
  
Just as Quin Lin was pounding the doll, there was a knock on the door.  
  
Quin Lin's face suddenly darkened. She coughed and said, "Who is it? Housekeeper?"
  
"Dear, it's me." Fade Chen's voice came from outside the door.
  
"What are you doing here?" Quin Lin was a little surprised.
  
"Honey, you'll know when you open the door, Fade Chen said.
  
Quin Lin hesitated for a moment and looked into the mirror. After making sure that there her expression was well composed, she got up and opened the door.

Chapter 44

As soon as the door opened, Fade Chen rushed in with a bowl of soup, handed it to Quin Lin, and said, "Come on, dear, drink this."
  
"What's this?" Quin Lin looked at the bowl of black soup and instinctively frowned.
"I've made you hangover soup." Fade Chen scooped up the liquid with a spoon, blew it on his mouth, and moved it close to Quin Lin's mouth. "You drank a lot at the party today."
  
I'm not drunk!" Quin Lin was still cold, but her heart trembled slightly
  
"It's not good for your stomach, even though you are not drunk but you still had too much wine. This is my special hangover soup, it helps with nourishing your stomach. Have a try, it tastes good, and it's not bitter at all." Fade Chen, like coaxing a child, handed the spoon to Quin Lin's mouth.
  
Quin Lin opened her mouth slightly and swallowed a spoonful of liquid. Then her eyes lit up and her cheeks relaxed. Her taste buds tingled in delight, because the liquid was really not bitter at all and tasted very good.
  
Fade Chen broke into laughter at her expression and handed over the spoon to her.
  
Quin Lin blushed unabashedly. She took the spoon and bowl and said, "I'll drink it on my own."
Fade Chen smiled as he watched Quin Lin finish the hangover soup. Then he picked up the spoon and got up to go out. "Sleep earlier, have a good rest. Goodnight."
  
Quin Lin nodded slightly. Watching Fade Chen walk out of the room, she parted her lips and softly uttered, "Goodnight". Then she picked up the Doraemon doll, buried her head in the it, and whispered to herself, "Hum, this guy has some conscience. He knows how to care for me."
  
That night, Quin Lin slept soundly with a sweet smile on her face.
The next morning, Fade Chen had just arrived at the office of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc. He was about to start on something to invigorate his mind. However, before he could start, a phone call summoned Fade Chen to the president's office.
  
He had just arrived at the office and had even not begun to ask what the matter was. A scent of lily wafted in, and then Lily Wei, who was wearing a professional suit, came in. Fade Chen nodded with a smile as a way of greeting her.
  
Lily Wei also nodded at Fade Chen, but she was puzzled. Why was Fade Chen in the president's office? Was there any special relationship between him and Quin Lin?
  
While he was thinking, Quin Lin opened her mouth and said, "Lily Wei, Fade Chen, there's somewhere that I need you to attend to in the afternoon. It's a secret."
  
"President Lin, what's the issue?" When it comes to secrets, Lily Wei's became extremely solemn, but this was not saying much, given how serious she always was when she was at work anyway.
  
Quin Lin did not speak. Instead, she handed Fade Chen and Lily Wei two documents.
  
After glancing through the information, immediately understood why it needed to be kept a secret. It was what he had mentioned to Quin Lin before about Donald Qin's shady deal.
  
Chen Quin Lin had not brought this up for a long time. Fade Chen thought that she had forgotten about this, but he did not expect that she had secretly conducted this investigation. It seemed that she was ready to make the final blow.
  
Fade Chen quickly finished reading the information. As expected, Quin Lin had investigated that Donald Qin conducted many illegal activities, a key one involving one of the company's factories in the suburbs of Bay City.
  
It was the largest production base of of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc in Bay City, with 70% of the products in this area being supplied by this factory. According to the investigation, Donald Qin might have done some shady deals regarding this factory.
  
But the specific problem was not yet clear. So, Quin Lin is now sending Lily Wei and Fade Chen to figure out what had actually happened to the factory.
  
Lily Wei knew some things about Donald Qin, so she was not surprised after reading the information. But to her surprise in turn, Fade Chen too was not surprised at all and seemed to know the inside story.
  
Moreover, it was very strange to let Fade Chen, a doctor at the company, investigate alongside her. However, this was Quin Lin's choice. Although Lily Wei was puzzled, she would still execute it firmly.
  
After clarifying the situation, they set off immediately to investigate.
  
They took a company car. Because Fade Chen had no driver s license, Lily Wei was the one who drove.
  
It took them about two hours to get to the suburbs. Lily Wei was in serious work mode and did not chat with Fade Chen throughout the journey.
  
Fade Chen was extremely bored, he resorted to fiddling with the radio in the car. He switched across several channels. It was either advertisements for "Unhappy XXX life, please use XX condom", or enquiries like "My husband finished off too quickly every time, in just three minutes".
  
Before Fade Chen could continue to switch channels, Lily Wei turned off the radio and glared at Fade Chen.
  
Fade Chen could only throw up his hands innocently, and he looked around in boredom. Finally his sight fell on a box of milk behind the windshield. He could not help but reach out his hand and picked up the milk, he said to Lily Wei suddenly, "Lily Wei, give me your milk!"
  
Lily Wei suddenly jerked her body, turned her head and glared at Fade Chen. She gritted her teeth and said, "What did you say?"
  
Fade Chen was so frightened by her fierceness that his body shrank. He quickly put down the milk in his hand and explained, "Manager Wei, I'm just talking about is this carton of milk. It's a pity that you haven't drunk it all this time. It's a waste, so I asked if you can give it to me!"
  
"You.." Lily Wei's pretty face was red. She stared at Fade Chen, but she couldn't say anything when she saw his innocent expression. She could only grit her teeth and say, "Please speak clearly from now on."
  
"Oh!" Fade Chen nodded, picked up the milk and drank it happily. He sighed while saying, "Manager Wei, your milk is so good."
  
"Did you say that on purpose?" Lily Wei glared at Fade Chen with a red face.
  
Fade Chen's face suddenly changed. He shouted "Be careful!" and launched himself towards Lily Wei. He grabbed steering wheel with both hands making a sharp left turn. At the same time, he stretched out his right leg to quickly step on the brake.
  
All of a sudden, the car made a rumbled loudly on the road. It crashed into a belt grass on the side of the road and stopped.
  
Fade Chen almost lying flat on Lily Wei's body. His big hands were clutching on to her slender hands, and his upper body was pressed tightly against Lily Wei's delicate body. His legs, which were on the brakes, were also wedged tightly between Lily Wei's thighs.
  
Feeling the weight of his body, Lily Wei was fuming with anger.
  
She felt that Fade Chen had just harassed her verbally, and now he took the opportunity to touch her inappropriately. He was completely a hooligan.

Chapter 45

"Get off me!" Lily Wei exclaimed, trying to push Fade Chen away.
  
But Fade Chen once again pressed down Lily Wei with his strength, and they were closer than before, he could even feel the warmth of her body.
  
"This pervert, I must teach him a lesson later. Let Quin fire him. No, I need to call the police to arrest him." Lily Wei shouted in her heart.
  
Consequently, a loud bang followed, and the whole car was pushed forward quite a distance. A huge force crashed into their car, and both of them could not help but be pushed forward with the impact.
  
"We got hit!" Lily Wei was shocked, but then she felt something soft on her. Only then did she realize that Fade Chen, who was lying on top of her, had acted as her cushion, absorbing most of the impact for her.
  
"What happened? A traffic accident?" Lily Wei was shocked. Then she saw that the clothes on Fade Chen's back had been torn, and there were blood stains on his back, with blood gushing out of some wounds. Suddenly, Lily Wei's heart trembled, and a sense of shame and regret came to her. "Fade Chen, are you okay?"
  
Fade Chen did not speak. There was a banging sound coming from the window. The sound was getting louder and louder, and there was the shouting of a man. "Damn, what sort of driving is this? How can you park on a highway? Get out."
  
Lily Wei turned her head and saw two men in their twenties standing outside the car window, who were knocking on the car window with a fierce face.
  
"Sorry, we.." Lily Wei was about to apologize.
But at this time, Fade Chen got up from her and opened the door. He rushed out and shouted, "What do you want?"
  
"What do we want?" A bald man snorted and slammed the roof of the car. "You stopped the car randomly and caused us to crash into you. What do you think we want?"
  
"So, you want money?" Fade Chen said as he put his hands in his pocket and looked at the two in front of him.
  
At this time, Lily Wei also came out of the car and smiled apologetically. "Sorry, it's our fault. We will compensate you."
  
"Pay for it? Do we need that money?" The bald man shouted fiercely.
  
Fade Chen's expression was still calm, as if he was chatting with an acquaintance. "What do you want?"
  
"What do we want?" The bald man's eyes lit up and he glanced at Lily Wei. He couldn't help licking his tongue and said with an evil smile, "Kid, this is your girl. She looks good! We aren't short of money. As long as you let us have fun with this girl, we'll let go of this matter."
  
Upon hearing this, Lily Wei's face suddenly turned cold. She took out her phone and was about to call the police.
  
"F**k, what are you doing?" Seeing this, the bald man's face turned serious. He immediately reached out to snatch Lily Wei's mobile phone.
  
But with his hand midway, there was a crisp sound. Fade Chen made his move first and slapped the bald man directly on the face, shouting, "Is my girl someone you can mess with? You're looking to be kicked in the as*!"
  
The bald man was stunned. After a few seconds, he came to his senses and glared at Fade Chen fiercely. He waved his big fist toward Fade Chen's face. "Boy, you're looking for death!"
  
"Hey, you punks, are you all so bored? Just these words over and over again. isn't it about time to invent some new lines?" Fade Chen dug his ears out of boredom, as if he had no care in the world.
  
The bald man got even angrier. Glancing at his partner next to him, they attacked Fade Chen from both sides.
  
The two men's fists were about to hit Fade Chen's face, but Fade Chen couldn't care less, he squinted his eyes and waved his hands.
  
"Bang bang!" There were two crisp sounds. Before the two strong men came to their senses, they felt a burning sensation on their faces. Their face was swollen from Fade Chen's slaps.
  
"I'm going to kill you!" The two yelled and rushed over again.
Fade Chen kicked the two people away this time. He touched his nose and pointed behind himself, saying, "I think you'd better call your companions for backup. You two are useless."
  
The two people were surprised at hearing this. But then they took out their mobile phones and made a call.
  
Then, Lily Wei saw another car stopping in front of them, two strong men walked out of the car with steel pipes in their hands and came up to them fiercely.
  
Suddenly, Lily Wei felt a chill from her heart and felt that something was wrong. "They are on the same team. This may not be a traffic accident, but a deliberate trap?"
  
When the armed men arrived, the bald man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "Come and help us, take them down."
  
The four of them all rushed over to Fade Chen. Their huge fists, accompanied by the steel pipes, were all aimed at Fade Chen.
  
Fade Chen, however, looked calm. He didn't move until they approached him.
  
As soon as he moved, the four people couldn't make out his figure at all. They felt dizzy, and then they felt pain and fell away.
  
"Let's charge together. We must catch him." They rushed over again, but the result was the same. They flew out in pain again.
  
But this time, the bald man turned around and ran towards Lily Wei. He wanted to use her to threaten Fade Chen.
  
"Lily Wei, be careful!" When Fade Chen saw this, he wanted to rush over to help. But the other three men grit their teeth and rushed to Fade Chen, trying to hold him down.
  
Fade Chen kicked the three people away and looked at Lily Wei. The bald man had already reached her. With a smirk on his face, the bald-headed man grabbed at her.
  
Lily Wei was calm. She balanced on her high heels, lifted her leg, and kicked viciously between the bald-headed man's legs.
  
The bald man did not expect that of Lily Wei, such a delicate beauty, daring to resist, so he did not prepare for it. He took a hard hit between his legs.
  
There was almost a loud thump, and the bald man let out a miserable wail. He covered his crotch and fell to the ground with his face twitching.
  
All the men bearing witness, including Fade Chen himself, couldn't help but gasp. They felt a chill rising from their legs and couldn't help but tighten their legs.
  
Fade Chen walked to Lily Wei's side and glanced at the wretched bald head. He said to Lily Wei, "Lily, I didn't expect you to be so cruel! This bald man is unlucky."
  
Lily Wei rolled her eyes at him and said, "What's going on? You grabbed my steering wheel because you realised something was wrong?"
