Chapter 61
At this moment, Fade Chen who was in the car almost vomited
in disgust. He didn't expect this woman to be so shameless. She wanted to fawn
the rich with her child, but she still wanted someone else to be her back-up
plan.
At the thought of this, Fade Chen did not want to stay any longer and was ready
to drive away. But a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
"Housekeeper Wong takes Jordan Qi to come for a blind date, and Yasmin is
also having a blind date. Could it be..."
Thinking of this, Fade Chen was not in a hurry to drive anymore. He looked up
and saw that the two women had already entered the western restaurant next to
him. Then, Fade Chen got out of the car and looked inside the restaurant. Soon,
he found that Housekeeper Wong and Jordan Qi were sitting by the window, and
the two women were sitting opposite them. Obviously, they were the pair going
through the blind date.
"Damn it, how dare you lie to the people around me." Fade Chen's
heart surged with anger when he walked into the restaurant.
However, halfway there, Fade Chen calmed down. He knew that if he rushed over
and drove her away immediately, it would not be good. Perhaps he would be
misunderstood by Housekeeper Wong and Jordan Qi. Therefore, the best way was to
endure his anger for the time being. On Yasmin Huang showed her true colours,
he would expose the woman.
So, Fade Chen found a seat near their table and sat down. He ordered something
and then listened to the situation there.
Both sides seemed to have finished introducing themselves, When Yasmin Huang
heard that Jordan had a salary of 6,00 dollars per month, she could not help
but frown and seemed to be a little unsatisfied.
Housekeeper Wong noticed this and quickly put in a good word, saying, "My
son's team leader values him very much Recently, his leader promised him that
he will be promoted, and his salary will also increased. It is estimated that
it will be 8,00 dollars a month later."
Upon hearing this, Yasmin Huang curled up her lip noncommittally. Obviously,
she did not care about the salary rise at all.
Then, two of them talked for a while and got to know each other's lives more.
Of course, almost all the talking on Jordan Qi's side was done by Housekeeper
Wong. Jordan Qi lowered his head slightly, and no one knew what he was thinking
about.
While Yasmin Huang chatted with the short-haired woman, she didn't forget to
order some food. 500 dollars for a steak, 800 dollars for some caviar, 1,000
dollars for a bottle of red wine, and she ordered them without hesitation. If
it weren't for his mother, Jordan Qi would have stood up and left immediately.
After chatting for a while, the two girls were also half full. They winked at
each other, then picked up their bags and said, "Auntie, sorry, I'll leave
for awhile to use the restroom." After the two women left, Housekeeper
Wong quickly asked her son, "Son, what do you think of this girl? I think
she is not bad. Although she is a little fat, but she looks good. She is also a
student from a famous university."
Jordan Qi shook his head and said, "Mom, I don't think we are suitable for
each other."
Yasmin Huang and the short-haired woman had already entered the restroom, and
Fade Chen could not continue to listen to them. He quickly got up, walked to
the restroom, and stood at the door of the men's restroom. Fade Chen could
clearly hear the conversation between the two women on the other side.
"This man is not good. He looks ordinary and wears a pair of thick
glasses. He doesn't have a good taste. I don't think he's even 1.75 meters
tall. He is not a good option." Yasmin Huang said discontentedly.
The short-haired woman persuaded, "Don't be so picky. The most important
thing now is to find someone to guarantee your life."
Yasmin Huang said unhappily, "Six hundred dollars a month, even if it is
raised to eight hundred dollars, it will also be not enough. What can I
guarantee with that little money? It's not even enough for me to do a facial
treatment."
The short-haired woman said, "Yasmin, lower down your standard. Do you
think everyone can be as rich as Leonard Zhu? He can take out tens of thousands
dollars at a time! The salary of 6,00 dollars is already good in Bay City, it
is several hundred dollars higher than the average salary!"
"That's too low. What's more, this man is dull and doesn't know anything
about fun. It's more depressing to be with him than to be a nun." Yasmin
Huang said.
The short-haired woman sighed and said, "Yasmin, isn't this an emergency?
If you wait any longer, the baby in your tummy will be noticed. Let's find a
man for you first. We can just change things later when we meet the right
person."
These words seemed to touch Yasmin Huang. She sighed and said, "Okay then,
that nerd got lucky, humph!"
After that, the two women walked out. On the other side, Fade Chen was so angry
that his lungs were going to explode. This b**ch was really shameless. She was
obviously toying with Jordan Qi, but was still not satisfied with Jordan Qi's
quality, she was a total b**ch.
Resisting the urge to hit her, Fade Chen came out of the restroom and returned
to his seat.
Next to her, the short-haired woman glanced at Yasmin Huang, then gently
coughed and said, "Auntie, Yasmin just told me that she thinks Jordan is
not bad, so she can try to date him."
"Good, good, that's great." Housekeeper Wong was so excited that she
nudged her son next to her. Jordan Qi snorted and said nothing more.
The short-haired woman said, "Auntie, you've seen what Yasmin is like.
She's very good and there are many suitors pursing her. So if she were to have
a relationship with Jordan Qi, I hope you understand some conditions in
advance."
Housekeeper Wong's face twitched, but she still nodded and said with a smile,
"What conditions? Tell me."
Yasmin Huang frowned slightly, as if she was still not satisfied with meeting
such a man. Yasmin Huang said, "To be honest, Jordan Qi's requirements are
just ordinary, barely meeting my requirements. But there are a few conditions
that are necessary. First, my family has a registered permanent residence in
Bay City, and yours is in the rural area. There is a difference, so there must
be a wedding gift of at least two hundred thousand dollars."
"Second, it's about houses. Within the third Ring of Bay City, I must be
given a house with at least 2 bedrooms and 2 living rooms. I won't accept any loan
and my name should be written on the property ownership certificate."
"Third, personally I prefer peace and quiet, and I'm not used to living
with elders. So after we're together, I hope auntie and uncle can come here
once a month at most."
"Fourth, before we get married officially, Jordan Qi can't touch me. My
family is conservative and I must be a virgin until I get married."
"What, d*mn it, a sl*t who has been played for so many times. And she says
that her family is conservative and she wants to keep her body pure. It's
ridiculous." These rude demands made Fade Chen full of anger and almost go
ballistic.
Even with Jordan Qi's good character, he could no longer continue listening to
what Yasmin Huang said at this moment. With a gloomy face, he pulled his mother
up and stood up, saying, "Mom, let's go."
When Yasmin Huang saw this, she raised her eyebrows and said unhappily,
"What do you mean? To be honest, with your condition, I am agreeing to
talk to you because I think highly of you. Who do you think you are? You don't
have money, you don't have appearance, you are just a nerd. Hum!"
"You." Jordan Qi was so angry that his cheeks turned red and he was
about to leave.
Chapter 62
But Housekeeper Wong stopped him and advised him earnestly,
"Jordan, don't be so agitated. Let's sit down and discuss about it. I
think Yasmin is a good girl. Two of you can have a talk. Housekeeper Wong was
really anxious about her son's marriage and was still persuading him at this
time.
Jordan Qi had no choice but to sit down. But when he looked at Yasmin Huang,
his face was obviously not happy. He said, "I can't agree with your
conditions, especially the third one."
When Yasmin Huang heard this, she frowned and was about to swear. But the
short-haired woman beside her stopped her and persuaded her in a low voice. She
said that it was not easy to find another man, so just bear with it.
After hearing this, Yasmin Huang thought for a while and said, "Your
parents can come here more often. Three times a month! But the other three
conditions must be met."
Jordan Qi wanted to refuse, but Housekeeper Wong stopped him and said
earnestly, "Girl, my family's conditions may not be as good as your
requirements. But I have been working for many years, and I still have some
savings. We will solve the problems of houses and betrothal gifts.
"Mom, that's your pension money. How can I.." Jordan said.
Housekeeper Wong pulled her son's arm and said to Yasmin Huang, "Miss,
this is the best I can do. If you really want to talk to my Jordan, then talk
it out."
Yasmin Huang was thinking about it and seemed to be a little unsatisfied with
the conditions. The short haired woman next to her was still trying to persuade
her.
A moment later, Yasmin Huang seemed to have made a decision and said, "For
the sake of your sincerity, I can promise to date you. But you'll need to give
me half of the gift money now. I have to prepare in advance."
"About this, we can raise the money!" Housekeeper Wong said.
Upon hearing this, Yasmin Huang's eyes lit up with joy. She nodded and was
about to agree.
At this moment, Fade Chen could no longer sit down. Housekeeper Wong's money
would be all cheated by this bitch.
Immediately, Fade Chen rushed out and slapped Yasmin Huang on the face. He
scolded, "Bitch, you are cheating money from my brother. Do you have a
death wish?"
Yasmin Huang was stunned and looked at Fade Chen in a daze.
Jordan Qi and Housekeeper Wong also looked at Fade Chen in surprise. "Sir,
you, why are you here? And, this is.."
Fade Chen looked at the mother and son and said, "Housekeeper Wong, she is
not a good person. She is not suitable for Jordan."
At this moment, Yasmin Huang also came to her senses. When she saw that it was
Fade Chen who had just hit her, she was so angry that her eyes turned red. She
said, "How dare you hit me? I'll kill you."
Then Yasmin Huang rushed towards Fade Chen like a crazy woman.
"How dare you!" Fade Chen shouted coldly, and his eyes were full with
anger. Yasmin Huang was scared. Thinking of how Fade Chen knocked Leonard Zhu
and Coach Hu to the ground in the afternoon, she suddenly dared not move.
The short-haired woman was smart. It seemed that the hard way won't work in
this situation. Suddenly, she rolled her eyes and pretended to be pitiful. She
said to Housekeeper Wong, "Auntie, if your son doesn't want to go on a
blind date, just say it. Now, you have asked someone to beat my friend up. What
does that mean? We can't go on with this."
After all, Housekeeper Wong was anxious about her son's marriage. Hearing this,
she immediately became desperate. She quickly stopped them and looked at Fade
Chen. She wanted to speak but stopped.
Fade Chen sighed. He knew that if he did not make it clear, he might cause
Housekeeper Wong's misunderstanding. So he sat down and said to Housekeeper
Wong, "Housekeeper Wong, I went to Momo's school in the afternoon and saw
this girl there. She is not a good person. She is pregnant now with another
man's child. Now she is trying to meet a man on a blind date because she is
looking for a back up plan."
"What!" Eventhough Housekeeper Wong was anxious about her son's
marriage, she couldn't tolerate such a thing, Immediately, her eyes turned red.
The well-behaved Jordan Qi also stared at Yasmin Huang and said, "Is that
true? Are you pregnant?"
Yasmin Huang panicked, but it was impossible for her to admit this kind of
thing in public. She quickly denied, "Nonsense, this is slander. If you
don't want to continue the discussion, just say it. Why did you insult me this
way?"
"You are still being stubborn!" Fade Chen snorted, took out his
mobile phone, opened the recording, and played the conversation between the
short-haired woman and Yasmin Huang in the restroom just now.
When those shameless words played out clearly, Housekeeper Wong and Jordan's
faces darkened. Housekeeper Wong's fingers trembled with anger. She pointed to
Yasmin Huang and said, "You, what evil woman are you? You lied to my son,
you.."
Since the scandal had been exposed, Yasmin Huang did not care about her
reputation anymore at this moment. She pointed at Jordan and said to
Housekeeper Wong, "You old lady, why don't you see what kind of person
your son is? His salary of six thousand dollars a month is just too little! If
it weren't for him to be a just-in-case, I would have never take a fancy to
him. Don't be ridiculous."
"I don't want to marry you. Old lady, listen up. It's not that I'm not
worthy of deserving your son, but for a person like your son. I will never like
him. He's a poor man without money. Yasmin Huang scolded them without
hesitation.
Immediately, there was a heated discussion around. Many people pointed at
Yasmin Huang, and some of them cursed at her.
However, a woman like Yasmin Huang did not care about such things. How could
she know what shame was? She ignored all the scolding from the people.
But Housekeeper Wong and Jordan Qi, who were called poor people, couldn't help
but sigh and collapse helplessly. because they were indeed not rich.
Seeing this, Fade Chen was furious. Then he thought of something and his eyes
lit up. He said to Jordan, "Jordan, I have a job here, a million dollars a
year. Would you like to do it?"
"Ah, one million dollars, this.." Jordan Qi was surprised and his face
was full of disbelief.
Yasmin Huang was also stunned for a moment, and then she said sarcastically,
"An annual salary of a million dollars. You can brag about it. You are
just a thug, and you dare try to introduce a high-paying job to others. You
should know your own limits even if you want to lie to others.
Fade Chen did not care about Yasmin Huang's sarcasm. He looked at Jordan Qi and
said, "This job is in production and manufacturing, similar to your
previous work. If you agree, you can take up the job tomorrow."
"You are still pretending. You can continue to act. A group of poor
people, saying that your annual salary is a million dollars. It's
ridiculous." Yasmin Huang criticized again.
Housekeeper Wong and Jordan Qi also looked at Fade Chen in disbelief and said,
"Sir, is this true?"
"Housekeeper Wong, have I ever lied to you? Of course it's true!"
Fade Chen nodded solemnly, then took out an employee card and handed it
directly to Jordan, saying, "This is an employee card. You can start work
tomorrow."
"Wow, they are really a group of actors. The props have even been prepared
in advance, but unfortunately, I will not believe you." Yasmin Huang said
sarcastically.
Chapter 63
As soon as Yasmin Huang finished her words, there was a
burst of surprise around her.
"That, that's the employee card of Fei Enterprises Holdings inc"
"Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc is a big company. The benefits they offer to
their staff is very good."
"Look carefully. The card is marked with an L6, which means that's the
sixth grade position in Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc and is among the
supervisors. That kind of position absolutely comes with an annual salary of
hundreds thousands of dollars in Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc."
"This buddy is so lucky. I want to enter Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc too.
I don't need a million dollars a year. I'll be satisfied with an annual salary
of 100,000 dollars a year."
Hearing the discussion around them, Yasmin Huang and the short-haired woman's
faces couldn't help changing, and their eyes began to flash. They thought in
their hearts, "Could it be real? Is the annual salary real?"
Jordan excitedly took the card and said to Fade Chen, "Thank you, thank you,
I.."
Fade Chen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Say no more. I believe in
Housekeeper Wong and I also believe in your personality and working ability. I
am responsible for the projects in that department. You can go to work
tomorrow."
The employment that Fade Chen mentioned was the production management at the
health- preserving wine factory. Jordan Qi was an expert. After getting
familiar with the process, Fade could hand the factory over to him, and then he
would not need to oversee the work there in future.
"Yes, I will do it well." Jordan nodded and said seriously, and then
the employment was confirmed.
Everyone was envious, and many young single girls even secretly winked at
Jordan.
Fade Chen knew that Housekeeper Wong and Jordan were not used to this kind of
situation, so he didn't say much and quickly took them out of the western
restaurant. He asked them to get in the car and told them about Yasmin Huang in
detail.
Hearing this, the two of them couldn't help sighing. Especially Housekeeper
Wong, with a guilty look on her face, she looked at Fade Chen and said,
"Sir, I'm sorry, I was.."
Fade Chen waved his hand and said with a smile, "Housekeeper Wong, don't
be sorry. You were cheated. It's good to figure it out. Jordan is an excellent
man. Don't worry about his marriage. Take your time. He'll meet someone
suitable."
After this matter, Housekeeper Wong figured it out. She nodded, looked at her
son, and said, "Well, you can handle this by yourself."
At this moment, Yasmin Huang and the short-haired woman in the restaurant were
listening to the discussion around them, looking at the expressions of the
people around them. They were not sure about what they were feeling.
Yasmin Huang could be shameless and didn't care about the sarcasm of the crowd.
But when she thought about how she didn't get her "second-in-line"
with an annual salary of a million dollars, she felt as if she was slapped in
the face, she suddenly felt a sense of regret.
However, Yasmin still said, "Hmph, it's just a million dollars. Compared
with Leonard Zhu, it's much worse. His property is several billion dollars in
value, a million dollars is just nothing."
Not to mention the others, even Yasmin Huang herself could not be convinced.
After all, a rich young man like Leonard would not really marry her.
With a gloomy face, both of them were about to leave the western restaurant.
But at this time, the waiter came over with a smile and said, "Hello, the
cost of your table tonight is 5630 dollars, but we'll give you a discount and
charge you 5,600 dollars."
"What? 5600 dollars? So expensive?" Yasmin Huang shouted in surprise.
Sounds of sarcasm were heard. A man said sarcastically, "Didn't someone
just say a few billion dollars? And a million dollars is just a small sum of
money. Why? Can't you afford a few thousands?"
Yasmin Huang was ashamed and angry, and her cheeks were red. She pointed
outside and said to the waiter, "They are the ones who ordered these. Ask
from them if you want the money"
The waiter smiled and said, "The things on the table seem to have been
eaten by you two. They just drank some water.
Hearing this, Yasmin Huang and the short-haired woman looked embarrassed. Just
now, they thought that party would pay for them, so they ordered some expensive
dishes without hesitation. Unexpectedly, they had spent other their own money.
"Miss, do you want to pay with cash or credit card? You can pay by
e-wallet too." The waitress still smiled and asked.
Yasmin Huang was so angry, but she still had to take out her wallet and settle
the bill with a gloomy face.
As soon as she walked out of the restaurant, the short haired woman felt too
embarrassed to stay. She found an excuse and left.
Yasmin Huang was getting angrier and angrier as she walked. She didn't expect
that she would suffer losses twice from Fade Chen today, and the losses was
getting bigger.
The anger and resentment in her heart grew stronger and stronger. She couldn't
help but take out her mobile phone and dialed a number, saying, "Hello,
Brother Niu, I'm Yasmin."
"Uh, I'm the one who watched a movie with Master Zhu the last time. Yes,
yes. Recently, I've encountered some minor trouble. I heard that Brother Niu
knows of someone who can fight, so I want to ask you a favor from you to help
me find some people to teach a guy a lesson."
"Okay, okay. Thank you for your arrangement, Brother Niu. I'm on the
shopping street. I'll wait for you."
After hanging up the phone, Yasmin Huang smiled with revenge. She secretly
gritted her teeth and said, "Fade Chen, so what if you're rich and knee some
kung fu! When Brother Niu's people arrive, you will suffer."
Soon, in less than a quarter of an hour, Yasmin Huang saw a group of aggressive
men coming out towards the restaurant. The leader was a burly man with a tattoo
on his face. His fierce expression made Yasmin Huang's heart beat fast.
However, when she thought that the strong man was going to teach Fade Chen a
lesson, the uneasiness in Yasmin Huang's heart suddenly turned into a pleasure
of revenge.
"Did you call?" The strong man stared at Yasmin Huang and asked.
Yasmin Huang nodded quickly and said, "Yes, it's me."
"The person you want us to beat up is Fade Chen? Does he look like
this?" The tattooed man took out a photo.
Yasmin Huang looked at him and said excitedly, "It's him, it's him. Please
teach him a good lesson. It's best to break his legs and see how arrogant he
will be in the future."
The tattooed man put away the photo, turned his head and waved to the people
behind him, saying, "Yes, that's the one. Go ahead."
Yasmin Huang nodded and was ready to see the strong men take action. However,
she found that the strong men were coming toward her. They held her down,
covered her with a sack, and carried her away.
"What, what's going on? Are you mistaken? It's Fade Chen you are supposed
to beat up, not me. I'm the one calling for it!" Yasmin Huang shouted in
the sack.
The tattooed man sneered and punched Yasmin Huang to shut her mouth. Then he
snorted, "Deal with Fade Chen? It seems that you don't know what you are
doing!"
"Take her away!" Following the order, a group of strong men carried
Yasmin Huang away.
Half an hour later, Yasmin Huang, who was covered with wounds, was thrown back
to the entrance of Bay City University in the sack. Then, she was found by the
security guards and sent to the infirmary,
Chapter 64
Lying on the hospital bed, Yasmin Huang moved her body
slightly and suddenly felt a sharp pain all over, as if she was going to break
apart.
But what Yasmin Huang didn't know was that those men had already been merciful
to her because she was just a student. Otherwise, if they had really followed
the rules of the underworld, she would be fortunate even if they had just
broken her legs or hands.
Tears fell from her eyes silently. Yasmin Huang couldn't help but sniff in
pain. She didn't understand why she had been beaten up like this.
At this time, the door of the ward creaked open. Louise Lee came in and saw
Yasmin Huang on the bed. Her first sentence was not to greet Yasmin with
concern, but to ask nervously, "Did you look for trouble with Fade?"
Yasmin Huang's face twitched. She frowned and said, "Louise, are you still
talking about this at times like this?"
But Louise Lee looked nervous and continued to ask, "Tell me, did you or
did you not?"
Yasmin Huang said impatiently, "Yes, I did look for trouble with Fade. Are
you satisfied now?" She told Louise how she had been beaten up for no
reason when she had asked for people to go and beat Fade Chen up.
After hearing this, Louise Lee's face turned pale immediately. She looked at
Yasmin Huang as if she was looking at a dead person and said, "You, you
don't know what you are doing! You are looking for death! Do you know Fade's
status in this place? How dare you provoke him!"
"What's his status? He's just a little thug. What position can he
have?" Yasmin Huang shouted.
Louise Lee said coldly, "A little thug? But those people that you called
to beat Fade dared not do anything. A little thug but he can teach you a lesson
without making a sound? Do you still believe that he's just a little?"
Yasmin Huang's face turned serious, and she felt a faint uneasiness in her
heart, but she still did not want to believe this. She shouted, "Even if
he has some status around here, so what? When Master Zhu knows that I have been
beaten up, he will definitely teach him a lesson. When that time comes, Master
Zhu."
"Don't talk about Master Zhu anymore. Let me tell you, if you go and find
trouble again, even Leonard's father Xavier Zhu won't be able to make a
difference, let alone Leonard Zhu," Louise Lee shouted.
"Louise, I think you must be really scared. What nonsense are you talking
about?" Yasmin Huang did not understand why Louise Lee, who was usually
bold and daring, had become so timid.
"I don't want to say too much. I only want to tell you one thing. Earlier
this year when the semester started, at the hotel outside the school, even the
Young Master Wei of North Bay City called Fade Chen as Brother Chen. If you
want to carry on with whatever you're doing, you'd better think carefully about
it." Louise Lee got up to leave, turning away quickly.
Yasmin Huang was stunned and came to her senses after a long time. "Young
Master Wei of the North Bay City, is it Tom of Long Enterprise? Even he needs
to call Fade Chen as Brother Chen. Who is he? Who is he really?" Yasmin
Huang shouted, but Louise Lee had gone.
The more Yasmin Huang thought about it, the more frightened she felt. She was a
native of Bay City, and usually followed people like Leonard Zhu around.
Naturally, she was very clear about the power balance in Bay City. Needless to
say, the name of Long Enterprise from the North Bay City was enough to make
people tremble.
As the second-in-command of Long Enterprise, Tom Wei was only second in line to
Uncle Wei of North Bay City. His status was much higher than that of Leonard
Zhu, who was just a rich young man. How could such a powerful person call such
a young thug as Brother Chen? Was Fade Chen even more powerful than Tom Wei
was?
For a moment Yasmin Huang's heart was cold. She now realized who she had been
dealing with. She finally understood why Louise Lee had repeatedly warned her
not to provoke Fade Chen. She then realized that it was fortunate enough that
she could still lie on the bed with her four limbs intact.
Fade Chen did not know what Yasmin Huang had done behind his back. He had
returned to the villa with Housekeeper Wong and Jordan Qi. He comforted them
quickly and then everyone went to wash up and go to bed.
The next day, Fade Chen brought Jordan Qi to the company and showed him the
manufacturing process and also other things that needed attention regarding the
production of the health-preserving wine. Jordan was indeed a professional, and
soon he started his work. Along the way, he solved some minor problems in the
production line, which improved the quality of the health-preserving wine.
After settling Jordan in, it was already noon. Momo Soo called Fade Chen on the
phone and said that she encountered something strange. Yasmin Huang had taken
the initiative to call her and apologize to her. Yasmin Huang also asked her to
send a message to Fade Chen to express her apology and promised that she would
never provoke Fade Chen again in future.
Although Fade Chen did not know what had happened, he was relieved that Yasmin
Huang had finally decided to not stir any more trouble for him. Fade Chen
chatted with Momo Soo for a while and finally hung up the phone when it was
time for work in the afternoon.
After putting on his white coat, Fade Chen came to the medical room and went
back to work. But when he looked towards the empty seat next to him, he
couldn't help but whisper, "Didn't Xenia say that she would go out to buy
something at noon? Why hasn't she come back yet?"
After more than 20 minutes, Xenia Xu still had not come back to work. Fade Chen
could not help but feel a little strange. He picked up his mobile phone and was
ready to call and ask her about the situation. After all, Xenia Xu was his
direct subordinate.
Before Fade Chen could dial the number, his phone vibrated. When he saw the
caller ID, it was Xenia Xu.
"So this girl still knows to call me and ask for leave!" Fade Chen
muttered and picked up the phone.
However, before he could speak, Xenia Xu's cry came from the other end of the
phone. "Doctor Chen, I, I have hit someone!"
"What? You hit someone? Are you injured? Have you been sent to the
hospital?" Fade Chen asked in a hurry.
Perhaps because of panic, Xenia Xu's words were incoherent. "No, no, Dr.
Chen. I didn't hit anyone. But they insisted that I hit someone. I
didn't."
Although her words were messy, Fade Chen quickly noticed something unusual. His
heart thumped and he said, "Xenia, is someone blackmailing you?"
"Yes!" Xenia Xu said, "An old woman insisted on lying in front
of my car. She said I hit her."
When she said that, Fade Chen heard an old woman's crying and cursing voice
coming from the phone, including a man's shouting.
Xenia Xu was really scared and immediately burst into tears.
Fade Chen quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, Xenia. Tell me where you
are and i'll be right there. Don't act rashly. I'll take care of it."
"Okay, I will." Xenia Xu answered and then texted the address to Fade
Chen.
Fade Chen hung up the phone and then applied for leave from Lily Wei on the
RTX. Then he took off his white coat, ran downstairs, and rushed to the place
where the accident happened.
The accident occurred not far from the company. It was on an old street two
blocks away. Fade Chen ran fast and arrived in less than ten minutes.
Chapter 65
By the time Fade Chen arrived, a lot of onlookers were
already around. Everyone pointed at the scene and was talking about it. Many
people were taking pictures with their mobile phones, but there was one thing
in common, they were at least more than ten meters away from the accident spot.
Obviously, they were worried that they would be blamed for anything.
Fade Chen walked into the crowd and saw what was going on.
Xenia Xu's pink electric bike lay at the side of the road. Next to it, a burly
30-year-old man was shouting at Xenia Xu and kept asking her to pay as a
compensation.
In front of the electric bike lay an old lady in her fifties or sixties. She
held the front wheel of the electric bike in one hand and covered her waist
with the other hand. She kept groaning, "Ouch, my waist. I have been hit
by someone. Young people nowadays don't even know how to slow down when riding
a bike. Even if they have injured someone, they wouldn't admit it. They want to
run away!"
Xenia Xu's face was full of anxiety and anger. She said, "Auntie, I didn't
hit you. Why do you wrong me?"
As soon as she spoke, the burly man suddenly came up and roared at Xenia Xu,
"If you didn't hit her, how did my mother fall down? Did she run under
your bike herself?"
"When I was passing here, my bike was not even at half the speed. It was
auntie who suddenly rushed over. I didn't even touch her and she fell in front
of my bike on her own." Xenia Xu explained.
The burly man shouted, "What do you mean by 'You did not even touch her?
If not, how would my mother fall to the ground?"
"Little girl, why don't you admit that you've hit someone with your bike?
I'm so old already, 'll get hurt easily even with a small knock!" The old
lady on the ground seized the opportunity to complain.
"Auntie, I didn't, I..." Xenia Xu was anxious.
But the man was faster. He rolled up his sleeves and forced Xenia Xu to stand
in front of him. He said, "It's a fact that my mother was knocked down by
you. You can't escape the blame. Just tell me what you plan to do about
it."
"I, I didn't.." Xenia Xu's eyes were filled with tears.
"How dare you! Don't try to escape!" The burly man shouted, which
scared Xenia Xu, she was like a timid sheep and curled up in fear.
I tell you, my mother was hit, and you have to be responsible. The medical
expenses are at least 50,000 dollars." This guy immediately asked for such
a big sum and roared at Xenia Xu.
"I don't have money, I." Xenia Xu said in horror.
"If you don't have money, call someone who has it. I don't care what
method you use. You must send me the money within an hour. Otherwise, I will
lock you up in prison." The man threatened.
Xenia Xu had never experienced such a thing before. She was so scared that
tears fell from her eyes. She squatted on the ground and began to cry.
The man did not have any sympathy. He reached out his hand to pull Xenia up,
and shouted at the same time, "Don't pretend to be pitiful. Call someone
for the money now, or..."
"Let her go!" A roar interrupted the burly man.
The man turned around and saw a handsome young man walking towards him. He
frowned and shouted, "Who are you? What a nosy man!"
Xenia Xu looked up and was surprised. She stood up and rushed to Fade Chen. She
cried, "Doctor Chen, you're here. I. They.."
Fade Chen brought Xenia Xu's delicate body into his embrace and patted her
gently. He comforted her softly, "Xenia, I'm here. Don't be afraid. I know
everything."
Observing their movements, the burly man snorted and said, "A friend!
That's great. Your friend hit my mother and she has no money to compensate us.
You can compensate us on her behalf. 50,000 dollars"
Fade Chen's face turned cold. Ignoring the burly man, he turned his eyes to the
woman on the ground and shouted coldly, "Hey you, again! Get up on your
own, or I'll pull you up. You have conned me the last time, but now you're
conning the people around me!"
It turned out that the old lady was not a random lady. It was the same one who
had cheated him of 10,000 dollars when Fade Chen had just come to Bay City from
TianMu Moutain. Unexpectedly, today he met her again and this time she even
brought her son out to con other people.
The old lady was stunned. She looked at Fade Chen a few times, but obviously
did not remember who he was. After all, she had conned quite a lot of people,
so how could she remember him clearly? Moreover, even if was was true, she had
the perfect escape, which was to deny it regardless of any circumstance.
"I don't understand what you are talking about. I don't know you at all!
Oh, I am so miserable. I was hit by someone any compensation and now I am
threatened by others! Oh, my waist, my waist is broken!" The old lady
said.
"Boy, how dare you threaten my mother? I'll kill you!" The burly man
came over and punched Fade Chen.
"You're courting your own death!" Fade Chen's eyes darkened and he
kicked out. In an instant, the burly man was sent flying and fell heavily on
ground.
Seeing this, the old woman shouted even louder. She rolled on the ground and
cried so loudly as if her heart was torn apart. "Ah, you hit me! And now
you've even gotten someone to beat up my son! Help!"
"Shut up!" Fade Chen walked to the old lady, raised his right foot,
and roared.
However, the old lady was not afraid at all. Instead, she shouted even more
loudly with her lousy acting skills. "Murder! Someone is going to murder
me!"
When the passers-by saw this situation, they couldn't help but retreat a few
meters and sigh inconspicuously at the same time. These kinds of elderly
blackmailers were too difficult to deal with. If you reasoned with them, they
would not accept it. If they really started to fight, they would get injured,
and perhaps the faked injury would become real.
Therefore, in such situations, many people could only admit that they were
unlucky and just compensate the blackmailer with some money. But now, Fade Chen
had hit the burly man. Obviously, he did not make the best choice. Many
passers-by could not help but shake their heads and sigh, thinking that this
young man was too impulsive. He would suffer more losses later.
Xenia Xu was also anxious at this moment. She was afraid that Fade Chen would
be angry and beat the old lady up. Then things would be complicated.
Just then, Fade Chen raised his right foot but did not step on the old lady. He
snorted coldly and ignored the old lady. He went over to the other side and
kicked the burly man who had just gotten up from the ground. Then, as if he
were picking up a kitten, Fade Chen picked the man up and threw him down beside
the old woman.
The burly man was usually a ruthless person. He had never been bullied like
this. He was suddenly angry. He gritted his teeth, stood up and waved his fist.
He was going to fight with Fade Chen.
Chapter 66
How could Fade Chen give the burly man any chance? As long
as he lifted his leg, Fade kicked the guy to the ground. Moreover, his kick was
very accurate. It was not fatal, but it could bring great pain. Immediately,
the guy grimaced in pain, and sweat dripped down his forehead.
When the old lady saw her son being beaten up, she immediately shouted even
louder and howled like a high pitched speaker, "We're being beaten up! We
will be killed, help!"
"Shut up!" Fade Chen roared, but the old lady shouted even louder.
Seeing this, Fade Chen slapped the old woman's son, making his cheeks red and
swollen like steamed buns.
"Ah, you hit my son, you're killing him!" The old lady was still
shouting.
Fade Chen did not say anything. He slapped the man again, which made the man's
cheek more swollen. After that, Fade Chen stared at the old lady with a fierce
look.
"Ah, you..." The old lady was also scared. She looked at Fade Chen.
As soon as she spoke, Fade Chen immediately slapped her son on the face.
"Keep shouting. If you shout, I will slap your son in the face." Fade
Chen said.
"I....."
"Slap!"
"Hit...."
"Slap!"
"Kill."
"Slap!"
After a few slaps, the old lady's son couldn't bear it anymore before the old
woman wanted to admit defeat. He cried, "Mom, stop talking. I can't stand
it. Stop talking."
Looking at her son's bruised face, the old lady was angry and anxious, but she
dared not speak again. She could only glare at Fade Chen.
Fade Chen didn't care about her eyes and shouted coldly, "Stand up and
tell me what happened just now."
The old lady was still hesitating, but Fade Chen did not hesitate in giving her
son another slap. The old lady was scared and quickly got up from the ground.
She moved faster than the young man and did not seem to be injured at all.
"Say, did the bike hit you, or are you blackmailing us for money?"
Fade Chen stared at the old lady coldly.
The expression on the old lady's face was uncertain, but when she saw Fade
Chen's hand raising to give her son another slap on his swollen cheek, she
slowly said, "Yes, I was blackmailing you. The bike didn't hit me at all.
At that time, the situation was like this..."
Then, the old lady told the whole truth. Next to her, Xenia Xu took her mobile
phone out and recorded everything on video.
After that, the old lady looked at Fade Chen carefully and said, "I, I've
explained everything. Can we leave now?"
"Leave? Is it that simple?" Fade Chen snorted, and the two trembled
with fear.
"You, what else do you want?" The old lady was resisting the urge to
make a fuss and asked quickly.
Fade Chen said, "You should return the 10,000 dollars that you cheated
from me before!"
Hearing about the money, the old lady's face suddenly twitched and she looked
hesitant. As a result, Fade Chen slapped her son again without hesitation, and
her son immediately screamed.
The old lady did not dare to wait anymore. She quickly said, "I'll give
the money back to you. I'll give it back to you right away." Then, she
quickly took out a stack of money and handed it to Fade Chen respectfully.
Fade Chen put away the money and snorted. He kicked the son and shouted
angrily, "Get lost!"
Instantly, the two of them scrambled away with pale faces.
Seeing this scene, all the passers-by were shocked.
"D*mn, this buddy is so fierce, and he actually handled that blackmailing
woman. It's a miracle!"
"The wicked have to be tortured by the wicked! When they meet someone more
ruthless, they will be scared."
"That's right. It felt so good when he slapped him just now! myself
couldn't wait to rush forward and slap him."
"It's not that simple. This mother-and-son pair had been doing this for a
long time. I'm afraid they won't let this go so easily."
"Yes, I heard that they all have connections with someone powerful in the
area. Young man, little girl, you'd better leave now. If they call someone later,
you will suffer."
Hearing this, Xenia Xu's smiling face suddenly showed a hint of worry. She said
to Fade Chen, "Doctor Chen, let's go."
"Xenia, don't worry. As long as I'm here, no one can help them." Fade
Chen smiled and picked up the electric bike calmly. Then he took out a towel
and wiped it carefully, looking very confident.
When the passers-by saw this, they could not help but shake their heads and
sigh.
"This young man is still too young. He thinks he can fight. He is
overconfident."
"Yes, those gangs are not easy to deal with. He will regret later."
Just as they were sighing. noisy footsteps quickly approached them. People
looked in the direction of the sounds and saw more than a dozen gangsters with
tattoos rushing over, including the old lady and her son who had just left.
When the two saw that Fade Chen was still cleaning the bike in the same place,
the burly man said with vicious look in his eyes, "It's him! Brother Bald,
it's him who hit me. I must teach him a good lesson."
Seeing this scene, the passers- by looked scared and stepped back a few steps
and secretly shook their head.
"It's too late. It's too late to escape now."
"It's inevitable that these two young people will be beaten!"
"I hope they can learn some lessons this time. Don't be so
confident."
Amongst the crowd's discussion, the old lady and her son took the lead and
rushed over to Fade Chen with more than ten people with them. They stared at
Fade Chen fiercely and said, "Kid, you hit me just now. I'm gonna double
back the pain to you now."
After that, the old lady's son roared and was about to attack Fade Chen.
"Beat him!"
But at this time, when he rushed towards Fade Chen, he found that the gangsters
behind him did not follow him at all. He alone rushed over and was slapped in
the face by Fade Chen again. He turned around and fell to the ground.
Sitting on the ground, he was a little confused. He turned to look at the bald
strong man behind him and said, "Brother Bald, why didn't you come?
At this moment, the bald man glared at the burly man. Then he squeezed out a
smile and approached Fade Chen. He nodded and bowed respectfully, "Mr.
Chen, I didn't expect to meet you so coincidentally."
"Are you coming to beat me up?" Fade Chen said as he held his hands
in front of his chest, looked at the bald man. His eyes fell between the two
legs of the bald man and glanced back at the man's face. This bald man was none
other than the bald gangster who stopped Fade Chen and Lily Wei on the road
some time ago.
Chapter 67
Looking at Fade Chen's eyes, the bald man couldn't help but
close his legs tightly, he could still feel a dull pain between his thighs.
After all, Lily Wei's attack between his legs the previous time had almost
destroyed his happiness on the bed for the rest of his life.
Thinking about what they had done to him, the bald man started shivering. He
shook his head rapidly and said, "Mr Chen, don't take me wrong, please.
How could I ever hit you?"
"Good that you didn't plan to!" Fade Chen said lightly while
continuing to rub the bike.
But the old lady didn't understand what was going on at the moment. She started
shouting, "Why aren't you guys taking any actions, I paid you to work and
not to talk."
Hearing this, the bald man slapped the old lady on the face without hesitation
and said disdainfully, "Shut up! How dare you disrespect Mr. Chen! Do you
want to die?"
The old lady was used to being demanding. At this point, when she had been hit,
she immediately fell to the ground and began to make a fuss, "You bastard,
you don't keep your words. If you don't do anything after taking my money, you
will be cursed...To hell."
At this moment, the bald man was so furious that he wanted to beat the old
woman up badly. Finally, the old woman's son sensed something was wrong and
quickly asked cautiously. "Brother Bald, does this man have any special
identity?
The bald man resisted the urge to slap him, gritted his teeth and muttered,
"Special identity? Let me tell you, Mr. Chen over here is the person that
Master Wei of Long Enterprise mentioned, he is the one that cannot be provoked.
Do you understand?"
"Master Wei!" The man trembled and looked frightened. He glanced at
Fade Chen in horror, then turned back and whispered, "Is it true?"
The bald man snorted, he said, "If you don't believe me, you can try to
provoke him. We will see what Master Wei will do to you when he finds
out."
The man was so scared that his face turned pale. He didn't dare say anything
more and rushed over to stop his mother, as she was still shouting. He helped
her up and whispered to her. All of sudden, the old lady's face turned
extremely pale. Although she had just stood up, she almost fell to the ground
again.
"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry. We were wrong. Holding his mother, the man stood
before Fade Chen and apologized in terror.
Fade Chen glanced at the two of them and then said to the bald head guy,
"From now on, if this woman comes out to extort people again, just break
one of his legs. If four limbs are not enough then just make it five and if it
still isn't enough, just cut off his fingers."
"Yes, Mr. Chen, I will do it!" The bald man nodded quickly and looked
at the man.
The man felt a chill all over his body and couldn't help but close his legs
together. The old lady lowered her head and didn't dare to even breathe. She
did not make any noise at all at this point.
All the passers-by around were dumbfounded when they saw the situation.
Especially those who had said that Fade Chen would be dead earlier, at this
moment, all of them were stunned and looked at the bald man treated Fade Chen
so respectfully. The muscles on their faces were still twitching.
When Fade Chen cleaned the bike, he climbed on the bike and said to Xenia Xu,
" Xenia, come on. You're late for work."
Xenia Xu sat down. Fade Chen quickly pulled her arms around his waist. Then he
grinned and said, "I drive very fast. Hold me tightly."
Xenia Xu blushed and held Fade Chen's waist tightly with her arms. She felt an
indescribable sense of security.
Then Fade Chen started the bike and was about to get going. Seeing this, the
bald man and the old lady all breathed sighs of relief.
However, they drove not more than two meters away, and the bike suddenly
stopped again. This time, their hearts unexpectedly pounded vigorously and
almost leapt out of their throats.
At this time, Xenia Xu, who had knocked into Fade Chen's back because of the
sudden braking, coyly hit Fade Chen in the back and said in a delicate voice,
"Doctor Chen, you are so bad!"
"Xenia, I didn't mean it. Look, there's a ditch ahead!" Fade Chen
pointed to a distance less than one centimetre long on the ground and spoke
very seriously.
Then, the bald man and the others saw Fade Chen riding the bike away. In the
back seat, the lovely girl, Xenia Xu repeatedly slammed into Fade Chen's back,
making him express such comfort and satisfaction.
Immediately, the group of people stunned at the spot gradually came to their
senses. They had been dumbfounded, but now Fade Chen was disappearing into the
distance on the motorcycle.
It took almost half an hour for Fade Chen to return to the office when it would
have just taken ten minutes by car. When he finally arrived at the office, he
still felt a little overwhelmed.
After parking the bike, Xenia Xu was in a rush to get out of the car. She stood
beside Fade Chen with a blushing face and said in a delicate voice,
"Doctor Chen, you bullied me!"
Fade Chen immediately shouted that he was innocent. "How could that be?
Xenia, don't take me wrong."
"No!" Xenia Xu wrinkled her nose and said shyly with a rosy smile,
"How could you ride a motorcycle that way, Doctor Chen? You kept stopping
and going."
"Xenia, you've got me wrong. There must be something wrong with your bike.
My back is almost swollen by all that impact along the way." Fade Chen
stared at Xenia Xu's chest and said without blushing.
"Doctor Chen, you are so naughty, you bully me! Hum!" Looking at Fade
Chen's eyes, Xenia Xu blushed immediately. She snorted and stomped upstairs.
"Xenia Xu's shape was almost on par with Manager Wei!" Fade Chen put
his hands in his pockets, whistling, and went upstairs happily.
Back in the medical centre, Xenia Xu rushed in and closed the door firmly. She
didn't want to meet Fade Chen at all. Fade Chen was so bored that he could only
play solitaire on the computer.
Soon, it was time to get off work. When Fade Chen was about to pack his stuff
and go home, the closed door to the medical center finally opened, and Xenia Xu
poked her head out.
Seeing Xenia Xu's cautious look, Fade Chen couldn't help but laugh.
"Xenia, you're finally out. Otherwise, I'm going to think that you've been
eaten by a wolf in there."
"There is no big gray wolf in the medicine room. Dr. Chen, do you think I
am a child?" Xenia Xu came out and wrinkled her nose, she looked adorable.
Fade Chen glanced at her chest with shimmering eyes. "Xenia Xu, of course
you're not a child. A child would not be as big as you."
"Ah!" When Xenia Xu saw Fade Chen's eyes, she immediately exclaimed
and covered her chest with her hands. Her face was red. She glared at Fade Chen
and said, "Doctor Chen, you are making fun of me again."
"Alright, enough of joking. It's time to get off work, Xenia Xu you may go
off now." Fade Chen said with a smile.
Chapter 68
Xenia Xu blushed and she seemed hesitant. However, when she
saw that Fade Chen was about to go out, she suddenly said, "Doctor Chen, wait
a minute. I would like to treat you for dinner."
"Oh!" Fade Chen was surprised and then grinned, "Xenia, why?
Isn't is a date?"
Xenia Xu immediately blushed and said, "Of course not. Please don't
overthink, Dr. Chen. I just wanted to express my gratitude since you helped me
in the afternoon"
"Well, I see. As my lovely colleague invites me to dinner, have to say
yes." Chen Fei smiled and said, "Let's go. I'm starving."
"Alright!" The young lady smiled and quickly began to pack up.
Forty minutes later, they arrived in a street full of restaurants.
After parking the bike, the two of them walked halfway down the street. Fade
Chen decided to get some casual snacks, but Xenia Xu insisted that they go to a
proper restaurant.
They walked into the restaurant and called for the waiter to order food.
Suddenly, they heard a woman saying. "Hey Xenia, are you dining here
too?"
Xenia Xu turned her head and saw a fashionable young girl with heavy makeup
flashing her eyes at them with a smile.
"Christine Fan, what a coincidence!" Xenia Xu greeted her with a
smile and introduced Fade Chen at the same time, "This is my classmate.
"Waiter, I'm going to change my seat. When other guests come, let them sit
here." Christine Fan moved immediately to Xenia Xu's table and said with a
smile, "Xenia Xu, we have graduated for a year and I haven't seen you
around. Are you still working in Bay City?"
"Yeah, I'm still working at Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc." Xenia Xu
said softly, but her tone wasn't too welcoming.
When Christine Fan heard this, her eyes brightened, and she sighed with
emotion, "Hey, Xenia, you are really good! You've joined a big company as
soon as you graduated. The work is easy and it's also a privileged work there.
I've been working as a nurse in the city hospital for a year. I finally just
got promoted after such a long time."
This woman seemed to be complaining about her job, but the meaning behind her
words made Fade Chen frown. He understood why Xenia Xu didn't like to speak
with her.
"Really? You've been promoted. Congratulations," Xenia Xu said
blandly, without a hint of envy.
Christine Fan couldn't help but frown slightly, and her expression was a little
bit disappointed. At that moment, the crisp snap of the leather shoes sounded,
and a man in his early thirties, dressed carefully, came over.
Seeing him, Christine Fan immediately smiled and waved to the man, saying,
"Zach, come here."
The man came over and glanced at Fade Chen and Xenia Xu. He was clearly
surprised and smiled as his eyes landed on Xenia Xu.
"Why did you change your seat?" The man sat opposite Christine and
asked.
Christine Fan looked at Xenia Xu and said, "I met my ex classmate. Come
over and have a chat."
When Zach Wang heard the word "classmate", he couldn't help looking
at Xenia Xu again. With a bright smile on his face, he took the initiative to
reach out his hand and said, "Hello, I am Zach. Christine's colleague at
the city hospital."
Xenia Xu felt uncomfortable when Zach Wang looked at her. Instead of reaching
out her hand, she picked up her teacup and said lightly, "I'm Xenia, Christine's
classmate."
Zach Wang was trying to chat further, but the waiter came over with the food.
Fade Chen asked Xenia Xu to start having her dinner and intimately picked up
some food for her. Xenia Xu smiled, looking very satisfied.
Seeing this, Zach Wang's face darkened. He looked at over at Christine Fan and
whispered, "Christine, your classmate is lovely. You're going to help me
to get her and I'm going to give you a promotion."
Christine Fan was a little distressed about that. After all, she had put in so
much effort in Zach Wang for several months in order to get a promotion.
Unexpectedly, Zach Wang quickly changed his feelings the moment he laid his
eyes on Xenia Xu.
She was frustrated. She wanted to make trouble, but she also realized that her
appearance was not as good as Xenia Xu's. If she refused directly, Zach Wang
would fire her from the hospital. Therefore, she could only help Zach Wang take
on Xenia Xu and get some benefits for herself.
But at this moment, they didn't notice that Fade Chen had heard all of the
whispers, which made Fade Chen's expression turn cold.
Christine Fan did not notice Fade Chen, but began to assist Zach Wang to chat
with Xenia Xu with excitement. "Xenia, Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc is
good for now, however, the position is not so suitable for you. You can't get a
raise working there. Moreover, working in a hospital seems to be more stable.
Have you ever thought about changing your job?"
Without waiting for Xenia Xu's reply. Christine Fan immediately pointed at Zach
Wang and said, "Xenia, Zach is the Director of the Department of
Orthopedics at the city hospital. He can assist you in changing your job with
just a quick word and transfer you to the city hospital. You know, .."
Xenia Xu realized Christine Fan's intention and interrupted her quickly. She
said blandly, "No, thank you. I am happy working here."
At this time, Fade Chen took the opportunity to pick up some food and whispered
what he had just heard to Xenia Xu.
Seeing how intimate they were, Zach Wang could not help but squint his eyes. He
looked at Fade Chen and said, "This is..."
Xenia Xu glanced at Fade Chen and blushed slightly. Then she said, "Fade
Chen is my boyfriend." Xenia and Fade knew that the pair before them had
evil intentions, hence she decided to have Fade Chen pretend to be her
boyfriend.
Once Zach Wang heard this, his expression looked a little bit hideous. He
glanced at Christine Fan.
Christine Fan understood what was happening. She raised her glass and said to
Xenia Xu, "Xenia, how long have you been together? Why haven't I heard of
him?"
Xenia Xu said, "Fade Chen is my colleague. We've been together for
months."
"Your colleague?" Zach Wang looked at Fade Chen. "Mr. Chen is
also a medical student? Which medical college did you graduate from?"
Christine Fan said, "Director Wang is a doctoral student at the Bay City
Medical Institute. He has overseas study experience. So he became the director
of the department at the university despite being so young."
Ignoring the other party's bragging, Fade Chen said humbly, "I haven't
studied at any university. I only learned a little Chinese Traditional Medical
knowledge on my own."
"Chinese Traditional Medical knowledge?" Zach Wang curled his lips
disdainfully and then said, "Oh, since when the requirements of Fei
Enterprises Holdings Inc has dropped so low! Mr. Chen is not joking, is
he?"
Christine Fan spoke, "Xenia, you are kind and innocent. Don't be cheated
by someone, or it will be too late to regret."
Xenia Xu shook her head and said, "Thank you. I can distinguish good and
bad by myself."
After that, she fed Fade Chen with food intimately and they continued with
their dinner.
Chapter 69
Seeing this situation, Zach Wang was so angry that his face
turned red. He resisted the urge to attack and gave Christine Fan a meaningful
glance.
Christine Fan understood his intentions and took out her mobile phone. After
playing with it for a while, the phone rang. She picked up the phone and spoke
with excitement. Then she said to Xenia Xu, "Xenia, it's our class
monitor. She knows we are hanging out together now. She wants to chat with you
for a while. Let's go."
Xenia Xu had some doubts, but they were classmates after all. Xenia Xu couldn't
get rid of Christine Fan's plan, so she had to play down her bowl and go out to
answer the phone with Christine Fan.
As soon as they left, Zach Wang's face changed. He pointed at Fade Chen with a
sullen face and said, "Fade, right? I have something to tell you."
Fade Chen ignored him and continued to eat.
Zach Wang frowned and reached out to pull Fade Chen over. Fade Chen pushed his
hand away and said, "Go away. I don't have time for you."
As the youngest director of a department, Zach Wang knew a lot of people in the
city. He had never received such a rude treatment. What's more, it was from a
bumpkin that wore such lowly clothes. Zach Wang suddenly became angry and
snapped, "Kid, I warn you. I like Xenia. You'd better leave on your own or
I will help you do it. Do you understand me?"
Fade Chen pretended not to hear him and did not respond at all.
"I'm talking to you. Aren't you listening?" Zach Wang was a little
annoyed and shouted at Fade Chen.
Fade Chen swallowed the last piece of braised pork in his mouth, then looked up
with impatient look at Zach Wang, he said, "You've finally finished your nonsense?"
"Er.. what did you say?" Veins popped out on Zach Wang's forehead.
"I said, are you done with your nonsense? Your mouth stinks and now, even
your ears don't work!" Fade Chen said.
"D*mn it, you're courting death." Zach Wang picked up a bottle of red
wine on the table.
"If you dare hit me with it, I will shove the bottle up your butt."
Fade Chen grabbed the bottle in Zach Wang's hand and said coldly.
Looking at Fade Chen's cold eyes, Zach Wang somehow felt a shiver in his heart
and he calmed down.
Seeing this, Fade Chen snorted and let go of his hand. He sat back down and
continued eating. Zach Wang realized that his hand which was holding the glass
bottle felt suddenly light. He looked down at his hand and saw that the booty
had cracked. The lower half of the bottle was smashed into pieces and glass
shards the size of fingernails were scattered on the ground. The red wine had
spilled all over Zach Wang's body.
But at this moment, Zach Wang had no time to think about this, because what
Fade Chen just did really shocked him.
At this time, Christine Fan and Xenia Xu, who were on the phone outside, also
returned to the table. Seeing the situation, they asked at the same time,
"What happened? What happened?"
Fade Chen said lightly, "Nothing. Someone just farted that's all" Then
Fade Chen asked Xenia Xu to sit down.
On the other hand, Christine Fan quickly took out a tissue and wiped the wine
off Zach Wang's body. Christine Fan asked again in a low voice, wanting to find
out what had happened. But Zach Wang did not want to respond because he felt
too ashamed. His face was gloomy and he said nothing. He was thinking about how
to find a chance to teach this guy a lesson.
At this time, a middle-aged woman who was wearing a pair of high heels with
curly hair walked in with her body swaying. Suddenly, Zach Wang's eyes lit up.
Ignoring the stains on his clothes, he hurried over to meet her.
"Vice Principal Hu!" Christine Fan was stunned. Her eyes lit up in an
instant. Christine Fan also quickened her pace and walked over.
After they left, Fade Chen was happy. He ate and chatted with Xenia Xu, feeling
glad that they had been left alone.
Before long, the two finished their meal and were ready to leave after paying
the bill. At this time, a loud bang suddenly resounded in the restaurant, and
then a clear slap rang through the air. "What are your doing? Don't you
know how to serve dishes!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young waitress in a
uniform standing in front of a table with her head down, and there were pieces
of broken dishes and plates scattered all over the ground.
Fade Chen glanced at the waitress and he looked surprised. This girl was none
other than Momo Soo's roommate Yuri Zhang. Fade Chen had heard that she worked
after school hours, but he didn't expect her to be in this restaurant.
At this time, in front of Yuri Zhang, the woman with curly hair pointed at Yuri
angrily and roared, "Do you know how much my clothes are? You can't afford
to pay me even with a year's salary. What should we do now?"
"I'm sorry, I.." Yuri Zhang was obviously frightened.
The curly-haired woman continued to roar, "I'm so unlucky, just by having
meal. I think you're just a poor girl. You can't afford to pay me the full
amount, so just pay me half of it, 20000 dollars.
"What. 20000 dollars!" Yuri Zhang was obviously shocked by the price.
The curly-haired woman looked displeased. At this moment, Zach Wang and
Christine Fan, who were sitting opposite her, suddenly stood up and shouted at
Yuri Zhang, "Little girl, don't be ungrateful. Mrs. Hu's clothes are
usually tens of thousands. Now she's given you a discount. What else do you
want?"
"I, I don't have any money!" Yuri Zhang stammered. At the same time,
she whispered pitifully. "And, and the dishes fell because she suddenly
hit me."
"What do you mean? It's you who didn't serve the dishes well. How can you
blame it on me." Mrs. Hu was angry and shouted, "I tell you, I won't
give you a discount now. This dress costs 40,000 dollars, and you must
compensate me at the original price now."
"No, you knocked the dishes down yourself. It's not my fault." Yuri
Zhang said firmly, with a hint of stubbornness flashing in her eyes.
"You're still arguing!" The curly-haired woman was furious and
slapped Yuri Zhang again.
When Yuri Zhang was about to be hit again, a shadow quickly flashed and blocked
the woman's palm.
Yuri Zhang, who was terrified, closed her eyes and lowered her head. Suddenly
she felt that there was a figure in front of her. When she looked up, she was
full of surprise. "Brother, Brother Chen, why are you here?"
The curly-haired woman who was stopped, stared at Fade Chen with anger and
shouted, "What are you doing? Who are you?
Before Fade Chen could say anything, Zach Wang, who was standing opposite the
woman, said hurriedly, "Mrs. Hu, know this guy. He's just a little Chinese
medicine practitioner."
Earlier, when Zach Wang saw Matilda Hu, the vice principal of their academy,
coming in the restaurant, he immediately went over to please her. Originally,
he was thinking about how to use Matilda Hu's authority to teach Fade Chen a
lesson. Unexpectedly, although Zach Wang could not think of a way, the guy had
come and provoked Matilda Hu on his own.
Zach Wang would not let go of this great opportunity and immediately started to
stir up more trouble.
When Mrs. Hu heard that Fade Chen was just a little Chinese medicine
practitioner, she despised him even more. She said coldly, "You'd better
let go of me immediately otherwise, I'll make you regret it."
Fade Chen slapped Mrs. Hu on the face without hesitation and said coldly,
"Because you slapped Yuri, now I'm returning it back to you."
Chapter 70
"You, how dare you! I'm going to kill you!"
Matilda Wu was very mad and reached out her hands to grab Fade Chen. Fade Chen
roared and kicked her away.
Mrs. Hu almost fell to the ground. Seeing this, Zach Wang and Christine Fan
rushed to help, but they still tried to further irritate Mrs. Hu. "Stop,
Fade Chen, you are too ignorant. How dare you? Apologize, now!"
Mrs. Hu was so angry that her cheeks turned red. She shouted at the security
guard of the restaurant, "What the hell are you waiting for? Your staff are
beating customers up with an outsider. Why aren't you doing your job? I want to
see your boss now."
Seeing the security guards coming over, Yuri Zhang looked worried and said to
Fade Chen, "Brother Chen, you should leave now, I..."
Fade Chen smiled faintly and comforted her, "Don't worry. I'm here. No one
can hurt you now."
After that, Fade Chen glanced at the security guards around him, snorted, and
said with great aggressiveness, "Now, guys. What do you gonna do?"
Mrs. Hu roared, "Beat him, now!"
However, the security guards felt that this young man was not a commoner and
did not dare to act rashly. Fortunately, at this time, the boss of the
restaurant, a man in his forties arrived. The security guards immediately
retreated and handed the problem over to their boss.
The man obviously knew Mrs. Hu personally. As soon as he came over, he greeted
her warmly, "Mrs. Hu, there you are. Sorry for not welcoming you
personally!"
"Boss Liu, you have to give me a satisfying explanation today." Mrs.
Hu were domineering.
The boss quickly comforted Mrs. Hu and then turned to Yuri Zhang. His face
darkened and he shouted, "Look what you have done. You are fired. You can
compensate Mrs. Hu for her damaged clothing on your own."
"Boss, but I didn't.." Yuri Zhang was anxious and angry, her eyes
were full of tears.
Fade Chen looked at the boss coldly and said, "Is this how you settle
things as the boss? You punish your employees immediately without asking for
more details."
"Who are you? It's my restaurant. What does it have to do with you?"
Boss Liu said rudely.
Mrs. Hu shouted, "She destroyed my clothes. I don't care. She must pay for
it!"
"Just look at the CCTV recording and we'll know what's going on!"
Fade Chen pointed at the cameras in the restaurant and said coldly.
Mrs. Hu suddenly froze. Her expression was a little gloomy. Hearing this, the
boss was about to refuse callously.
At this moment, a customer took out his mobile phone and said loudly. "You
don't even need to check the CCTV recording. I've recorded the scene just now.
It was the lady who deliberately hit the dishes herself."
After that, the customer clicked on the video to play it. The incident that
transpired earlier was suddenly clear to all, and other customers immediately
talked about it.
Fade Chen looked at the boss and said, "Things are crystal clear now. It's
not Yuri's fault. On the contrary, it's her who had wronged and hit Yuri. She
must apologize to Yuri."
Mrs. Hu listened to the sarcasm of the customers and her face darkened. "I
don't care. My clothes have been damaged by her. She must compensate me."
The boss's expression was uncertain, he was engaged in a battle of thoughts.
But a few seconds later, he quickly made a decision and said to Yuri Zhang with
a cold face, "Even if the customer suddenly hit the dishes by accident,
the main reason is your negligence at work. So, you are still responsible for
compensation. Also, you are fired."
Obviously, compared with Yuri Zhang, who was an insignificant employee,
customers like Matilda Hu were more important to the boss.
"Security guards, take them down. If you don't pay for it, you can't leave
today." Mrs. Hu ordered triumphantly. The boss nodded slightly, which
meant that he agreed.
Zach Wang and Christine Fan, who were standing by the side, with a look of
revenge on their faces, saw the security guards coming over. They snorted in
their hearts, "B*stard, you deserve it."
Looking at more than a dozen security guards surrounded him, Fade Chen looked
calm. He gently held on to Yuri Zhang, who was trembling slightly and said in a
low voice, "I tried to persuade you with words. But you force me to raise
my hands!"
"Is Fade stupid? Why is he still pretending?" Christine Fan said
disdainfully.
"Boy, save it. When the security guards start to fight, you will beg them
for mercy. They all are veterans." Zach Wang said with a gloating look.
Mrs. Hu was even more vicious. She shouted, "He dared to slap me in the
face. Break his right hand for me."
In an instant, the security guards gathered around and were about to take
action. But at this moment, Fade Chen's move was faster and he lashed out
quickly.
The crowd only felt a dazzled and heard a series of loud cracks. In less than
three minutes, they saw all the security guards fall to the ground, wailing
with bloody noses and swollen faces.
This time, everyone was shocked. Mrs. Hu and other people around Fade Chen
instinctively stepped back with fear on their faces.
However, the boss was obviously an experienced man. He soon calmed down. He
stared at Fade Chen coldly and said in a cold voice, "No wonder you dare
to be arrogant. It turns out that you have some tricks up on your sleeve!
However, this is my territory, not everyone can make trouble in my territory.
Kneel down immediately, admit your mistakes!"
"You?" Fade Chen took a step toward the boss with disdain.
Behind him, Christine Fan was a little scared and whispered, "Fade Chen
knows some martial arts, would he struggle and fight back which may hurt
us?"
Zach Wang curled his lips and said disdainfully, "Boss Liu is not that
simple. He knows a lot of guys in the underworld. No matter how powerful Fade
Chen is, he is not able to fight with gangsters."
However, as soon as Zach Wang's voice fell, Fade Chen stepped forward and
kicked the boss's abdomen, sending the guy flying. The boss smashed a table
behind him and scattered plates and drinks around, causing a mess.
This shocked the crowd. Everyone held their breath and looked at Fade Chen in
disbelief.
Zach Wang's face darkened. He lowered his voice, gnashed his teeth and said,
"What an arrogant man he is. He dared to hit Boss Liu. Boss Liu must have
informed people from the underworld and will come over soon. He's so
dead."
The boss was carried up from the ground and glared viciously at Fade Chen. With
a malicious look on his face, he said, "Boy, you're dead!"
At this moment, there were thundering footsteps at the door. About 20 fierce
gangsters came in, and the leader was a short but powerful man.
Seeing this, Zach Wang was overjoyed and said, "Boss Liu's helpers are
here, Fade Chen is done."
Mrs. Wu quickly approached, pointed at Fade Chen, and said with resentment,
"It's him. It's him who beat me and Boss Liu. Grab him and beat him
hard."
Chapter 71
The leader of the group glanced at Matilda Hu, threw a punch
at her and causing Matilda Hu to fall to the ground when his arm struck her.
Matilda Hu was stunned clueless, sitting on the ground and muttered, "You
guys are mistaken, beat him up, not me."
"Shut up!" Without using his subordinates, the restaurant boss came
forward and roared at Matilda Hu. Instead, with a warm smile, he greeted the
leader of the gang and said, "Monkey King, I didn't expect for such a
small thing to bring you here. How strange!"
"Monkey King!"
Hearing this name, customers glanced at the leader of the gang. There was
probably only one person who could please the boss so well and was even called
the Monkey King. He was probably the Monkey King - Darren Hong, one of the Four
Heavenly Kings under Uncle Wei. Many people were surprised and confused.
"Darren Hong, why does he come? For such a small thing?" Christine
Fan was a little dumbfounded.
Zach Wang frowned, and he could not understand, but his gaze towards Fade Chen
was still cold. "As Monkey King is here, that bastard won't survive.
Humph!"
Just when everyone was surprised and confused, the leader, Darren Hong,
completely ignored the restaurant boss who spoke to him with such flattery. He
shoved him aside and walked towards Fade Chen directly. He bowed respectfully,
and said, "I, Darren Hong, am here to meet Mr.Chen. Master Wei sent me
over to invite you for a gathering, sir."
By seeing this, the whole room went completely silent, even the sound of
breathing could hardly be heard.
Everyone looked at Fade Chen and Darren Hong in disbelief.
As for Matilda Hu, the restaurant boss, Christine Fan, and Zach Wang, they were
completely dumbfounded at this moment. They stood stiffly, and their minds went
blank. "What's going on? Why is the Monkey King of North Bay City showing
so much respect to this guy?"
Fade Chen was a little surprised by Darren Hong's arrival, but it was good anyway
so that he didn't need to beat others up on his own. Then, he nodded to Darren
Hong and said, "Help me settle the mess here."
"Yes, Mr. Chen!" Darren Hong was extremely respectful. Then he turned
to the boss with a cold expression. "Tell me, what happened?"
The boss felt his throat turn dry. "Monkey King, this, this...
I'll give you a chance to tell the truth. Otherwise, you won't be able to say
anything anymore," Darren Hong said coldly.
The boss knew all about Monkey King's character and his power, so he didn't
dare to hide anything from him, he told him exactly what had happened earlier.
Darren Hong's voice was horribly cold. "You're looking for death. How dare
you offend Mr. Chen! Drag him out and break his legs."
"I was wrong. Please spare me." The boss shouted in horror. Yet, the
Monkey King just looked over at Fade Chen.
Fade Chen waved his hand and said, "I told you to apologize to Yuri
Zhang!"
The boss scrambled over to Yuri Zhang and kowtowed, "Yuri, I was wrong.
Please ask Mr.Chen to forgive me this once."
At this moment, Fade Chen's eyes immediately swept over the three people -
Matilda Hu, Zach Wang, and Christine Fan. The three of them shuddered, and
followed in the boss's footsteps, they knelt before Yuri Zhang and began to beg
for mercy
"Dr. Chen, I." Yuri Zhang had never experienced such a scene, so she
felt helpless.
Fade Chen patted Yuri Zhang's shoulder gently and said, "Don't be afraid.
You just need to do as you wish."
Yuri Zhang nodded, looked at them, and said, "You guys were wrong just now
so you all ought to apologize to me."
They quickly apologized and admitted to their faults immediately. The boss even
took the opportunity to draw Yuri Zhang over to his side and said, "Yuri,
as long as you are willing to stay, I will promote you and raise your salary,
and let you be the team leader. You can do anything as you wish."
Yuri Zhang shook her head and said coldly, "No, I'm going to quit today
and no longer wish to work here anymore. You have to pay me my salary."
"Take 10,000 dollars, no, 20,000 dollars for Yuri Zhang." The boss
said hastily.
However, Yuri Zhang didn't take the two piles of notes that were given to her.
She only took 500 dollars, which she knew she deserved.
By seeing this, Fade Chen had more admiration for Yuri Zhang. She was not rich,
but she was dignified. With her own persistence, she was a very rare girl
indeed.
After changing her uniform, Yuri Zhang was ready to leave, and so was Fade
Chen. He took Xenia Xu along with him and the three of them stomped out the
restaurant together.
Looking at Fade Chen's back, Matilda Hu and Zach Wang who were still kneeling
on the ground in the restaurant let out a long sigh of relief. They secretly
thought that the Monkey King didn't bother them and saved their own lives.
But at this moment, Fade Chen suddenly turned around and looked at Matilda Hu, saying,
"I almost forget you three! Monkey King, these three work at the city
hospital. Please settle them for me."
"Yes, Sir!" Monkey King said respectfully. He immediately took out
his mobile phone and began to dial a number.
When the three of them heard this, their bodies suddenly trembled. Just as they
were about to ask for mercy, the phone rang. The director of the city hospital
shouted, "Hu Mei, Zach Wang, Christine Fan, what good deeds have you done
outside? How dare you provoke Master Wei's people? You caused this trouble on
your own. You guys are fired. Don't implicate me. You all do not have to come
to work tomorrow."
"Director, we.." The three of them wanted to explain further, however
the director of the city hospital hung up the call from the other end.
Suddenly, they collapsed to the ground. Looking at Fade Chen's disappearing
back, they were completely dumbfounded. They never thought that they would
offend a guy who looked ordinary, yet they actually had made such a big
mistake. At this moment, they regretted so much and wished to slap themselves a
few times, but everything was useless now, leaving only endless fear and
regret.
After Fade Chen left the restaurant with Xenia Xu and Yuri Zhang, he had to ask
Darren Hong for men to escort the two ladies home because he wanted to meet up
with Master Wei.
Watching them leave, Fade Chen and Darren Hong got on the car and rushed to
meet Tom Wei.
Soon, they arrived at the villa where Tom Wei lived. As soon as Fade Chen got
out of the car, Tom Wei greeted him with a smile. "Fade, you are here.
Please come in!"
"I was busy just now, so I didn't invite you personally. Please don't feel
offended!" Tom Wei said politely.
Fade Chen rolled his eyes at him and said, "Tell me, what's the matter? Is
there anything I can help you with? Be honest with me, don't try to hide
anything."
"Fade, you are always so wise. You could see through my mind at a
glance." Tom Wei's expression suddenly turned into a distressed look and
complained to Fade Chen, "Fade, I encountered a problem recently. No one
else can help me except for you. Hence, I wish to ask you to help me out."
Chapter 72
"Fade, here's the thing... Tom Wei began to tell the
story. "There is always some conflict and dispute among us who work in the
underworld. In order to avoid more controversy our peers have come up with a
rule, that we will gather regularly and hold a contest to resolve all kinds of
conflict."
"Is the competition about to begin?" Fade Chen asked.
Tom Wei nodded and said. "The competition will commence tomorrow
afternoon. Dude, do you have time tomorrow?"
Fade Chen said, "With your strength, I don't think you will lose out. Why
don't you ask your uncle to arrange some masters for combat?"
Tom Wei shook his head helplessly and said, "It's not that simple. It's
because this competition pertains to the disputes of the gangs younger
generations. Therefore, we are not allowed use the resources of the elders and
need to fight on our own."
"Unfortunately, I have already lost thrice in the previous contests. I'll
become the joke if I continue to lose in the upcoming contest. Especially, the
bet for this contest is attractive. The Wan family has put at stake a piece of
land of Bay City. If I win, the power of Long Enterprise will finally enter
South Bay City." Tom Wei looked at Fade Chen with excitement.
"The Wan family? Upon hearing this name, Fade Chen frowned and thought of
the information that he got from Donald Qin last time. There was a case from
Horace Wan, the master of the Wan Family. The Wan Family is the one that went
against Long Enterprise of North Bay City?"
"Yes!" Tom Wei nodded, saying "That's the Wan family. To be
honest, the battle was constantly between the Long Enterprise and the Wan
family. Other people basically support us behind our backs."
By hearing this, Fade Chen's eyelids trembled slightly, and he said in a low
voice, "Horace Wan, the young master of the Wan family, will also
participate in this competition?"
Tom Wei said, "Of course he will. Horace Wan is my worst enemy, because
the Wan family is a martial arts aristocratic family, and their strength has
always been good. In several contests, I have lost to them. Hence, I'm seeking
you to help me out. Dude, help me, OK?"
Fade Chen was silent for a few seconds, then nodded and said, "OK!"
"Great, Fade. I will send a car to pick you up tomorrow. We will
definitely win this round with you around." Tom Wei said excitedly.
Fade Chen's expression was calm, he promised to help Tom Wei participate in
this competition mainly because he wanted to figure out what Horace Wan was
like.
Then, Tom Wei continued to talk about the competition with Fade Chen and sent
him back home.
The next day, just after lunch, Tom Wei drove an impressive Ferrari sports car
to pick Fade Chen up and drove all the way to the suburbs.
This kind of competition must have been a big fight. It was common for
participants to get violent injuries. Sometimes, there might even be
life-threatening situations. Hence, it was necessary to find a remote place to
hold it.
After driving for about an hour, the car arrived at a holiday resort in the
suburbs. The big holiday homes had been emptied for this competition and were
not open to the public.
When Tom Wei and Fade Chen arrived, numerous luxury cars had been parked in the
parking lot, with brands such as Aston Martin, Rolls-Royce, Mercedes-Benz, and
BMW. Everyone around was gawking the cars.
As soon as Tom Wei got out of the car, many young men gathered around him and
greeted him. They were obviously Tom Wei's supporters.
After greeting everyone, a plump man with bleached hair named Huang glanced at
Fade Chen, and then stretched out his head to look at Tom Wei's luxury car, as
if he was looking for something.
Tom Wei patted on Huang, and said, "Huang, what are you looking for?"
"Master Wei, who do you invite this time? Where is Master Wang?"
Huang asked doubtfully. Master Wang was gangster who usually fought for Tom Wei
in the previous competitions before. He was powerful and experienced. However,
he had been defeated three times in a row recently, which affected his
reputation.
Tom Wei pointed to Fade Chen and said, "Master Wang is still recovering.
This time, I come with my dude Fade instead. Come here, all of you."
The crowd came over and looked at Fade Chen from head to toe. Their faces were
obviously a little confused, but they greeted him absently. They were very
puzzled that Tom Wei had invited such a scrawny boy to join the battle.
Tom Wei did not explain further, but introduced these people to Fade Chen one
by one. They were all Tom Wei's followers in the gang, so their relationship
was close.
Huang winked, and several people came over and pulled Fade Chen to enquire more
about him. Fade Chen said nothing useful and answered them with perfunctory
responses.
Huang pulled Tom Wei aside, glanced at Fade Chen, and said to Tom Wei,
"Master Wei, are you kidding me? You invite such a kid here for such a
crucial battle today. You don't have to do this even if you don't believe in
yourself. Why don't I ask Master Liu to help you? His strength has improved a
lot recently. His strength is even stronger than Master Wang's." Master
Liu was an assistant fighter recruited by Huang.
Tom Wei shook his head with a smile and said, "Huang, know your
intentions. But you can rest assured that Fade will be fine."
"But, Master Wei..." Huang still wanted to persuade him, but at this
moment, there was the sound of footsteps approaching from the opposite side,
and a group of people came over.
Suddenly, everyone looked over. The leader was a young man of 22 years old. The
man's face was serious, and his steps were steady. His every step contained a
unique charm. Obviously, he had practiced martial arts for many years.
In addition, the man was dressed in an exquisite white Chinese traditional
suit, which made him look more handsome and elegant. Everyone could not help
but stare at him.
It was Tom Wahl's rival, the master of Bay City from the Wan Family, Horace
Wan.
Horace Wan smiled and looked at Tom Wei, saying, "Tom Wei, the land you
prepared is not bad. I'll thank you in advance." After that, the followers
behind Horace Wan suddenly burst into laughter. Obviously, they had come to
irritate Tom Wei on purpose.
"Horace Wan, it's not certain who will win today. Don't be too
arrogant." Tom Wei snorted.
Horace Wan raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Tom, you've said that
a few times before. But the result is always the same, you've lost!"
Hearing his words, Huang and the others were so furious that they wanted to
rush forward and fight Horace Wan immediately. However, Tom Wei, who had always
been impulsive, became the calm one this time. He pulled everyone back, coldly
saying, "See you later", and then took his men to the lounge.
Chapter 73
Huang slowed down deliberately, hanging back, then stopped
Fade Chen, who was strolling. He said coldly, "I don't care who you are,
but I warn you, don't mess up this competition. It is crucial to Master Wei.
Later, you should quit, and I'll let Master Liu replace you. Do you hear
me?"
"Fatty Huang, you are such a good person!" Fade Chen patted Huang on
the shoulder, shrugged his shoulders, saying, "It is useless to tell me
this, you should tell Tom Wei about this instead."
Huang lowered down his head and kept silent, thinking about the possibility of
suggesting Tom Wei. His facial expression changed and got shocked when he
realized what Fade Chen had said. "What did you call me just now? I hate
people calling me fat. You better call me Master Huang. Do you hear me?"
"Got it, Fatty Huang!" Fade said while waving his hand behind his
back.
Huang was so furious that he couldn't wait to rush over to Fade Chen and beat
him hard. However, he was panting just after a few steps.
After chatting in the lounge and discussing about the upcoming competition for
a while, everyone went to relax for a bit with their own fighters.
An hour later, the contest officially began, and the rules of the competition
were very simple. Both sides would select ten people to compete consecutively.
The first guy would go up and fight, and the next guy will be up once the first
guy has been beaten down. In the end, the team with all ten people defeated
would be the loser of the day.
The battleground was located at a field in a holiday resort, surrounded by
cooling pavilions with food, fruits, and drinks as if they were on vacation.
Anyhow, no one seemed to be enjoying the moment except for Fade Chen.
Everyone was observing the fight when the battle started, except for Fade Chen,
who walked over to the cool shelter. He picked a chair to sit down, ate some
fruit, and drink some juice. He was enjoying himself.
Under such a situation, Huang's eyes almost burst into flames. If it was not
already time for the competition, he would have already been giving the guy a
lesson.
Fade Chen looked calm and glanced at Huang's furious eyes and said, "Fatty
Huang, what are you looking at? Would you like to have some too? I'll leave you
some."
This shout immediately attracted the attention of both parties. They looked at
Fade Chen as if he was a fool. They didn't understand why this guy had the mood
to eat and drink at this time.
For a moment, the people from Tom Wei's camp breathed out a long sigh. Many
people were very disappointed at Fade Chen.
There was an explosion of mocking laughter coming from Horace Wan's gang. All
of them were full of confidence and had smug expressions on their faces.
Huang couldn't help but want to drive Fade Chen away, but before he could move,
Tom Wei grabbed him and said, "Midas, don't worry about Fade. As long as
he is here, we will win in the end.
"Master Wei, yo..." Huang didn't know why Tom Wei trusted Fade Chen
so much and wanted to persuade him otherwise.
But at this time, there was a burst of cheering in the field. Huang turned his
head and saw that the first player from their team was under his opponent's
feet. It was obvious that he had been defeated and the opponent was
celebrating. All of a sudden, Huang's face turned gloomy.
The competition continued. The second competitor on Tom Wei's side went up and
fought with the opponent. After a fierce fight, the teammate finally managed to
knock down the opponent and won the victory. The second opponent rushed up to
the battleground quickly.
Consequently, the fight went this way. However, Tom Wei's team was on the
losing end, the situation was obvious.
Now, eight players in the team of Tom Wei had been defeated, leaving only
Master Liu and Fade Chen yet to go on the battleground. On the other hand,
there were still three people who had not come out to fight on Horace Wan's
side.
"Next!" Horace Wan said proudly.
Huang turned his head and wanted to let Fade Chen to go on the stage. After
all, Master Liu was their last card. But before he took action, Tom Wei
directly motioned for him to let Master Liu go on the stage instead.
Master Liu was indeed the ace in the team. He kicked the opponent to the ground
within three moves as soon as he entered the battleground. Master Liu was very
confident and said loudly and proudly, "The rest, come on, I, Frodo Liu,
will defeat all of you."
"Bravo, Master Liu!"
Master Liu has three consecutive victories!"
The morale of Tom Wei's team immediately increased, and enthusiastic voices
could be heard.
At this moment, the eighth competitor stepped forward and sneered, "Junior
Liu, long time no see!"
Master Frodo Liu, who was originally full of confidence, couldn't help
trembling when he saw the tall man in front of him. His face changed
drastically. "Third Senior Brother, why are you here?"
"Junior Liu, it's not only me here, but also Second Senior Brother and
Eldest Senior Brother!" Third Senior Brother clapped his hands and another
two tall men came out. They all looked at Frodo Liu with great confidence.
Frodo Liu, who had just been full of confidence, began sweating and his body
could not help but tremble.
Midas asked in a hurry, "Master Liu, what's going on? Who are they?"
Frodo Liu looked pale and said, "They are my seniors from the same
training camp. Their strengths are better than mine."
Tom Wei's team, which had just seen a glimmer of hope, suddenly quiet down.
Of course, Horace Wan was complacent. He looked at Tom Wei mockingly and said,
"Tom Wei, if you surrender now, you can save his life, in case he get hurt
and can't afford to fight in the future. Haha!"
"Master Wei, Master Huang! 'll fight them." Master Liu gritted his
teeth and was ready to rush over.
But just then, a faint voice sounded, "You are no match for them. Come
down. Let me do it up next!"
Everyone turned around and looked at the man who had been lying down, while
eating and drinking. He now came over with a confident look on his face.
Master Liu glared at Fade Chen and said, "What did you say?"
Huang also frowned. "Fade Chen, this is not the place for you to flaunt
your superiority."
Fade Chen did not speak but just looked at Tom Wel. Tom Wei nodded and said to
Master Liu, "Master Liu, leave the rest to Fade!"
Then, under the surprised gaze of both sides, Fade Chen walked to the
battleground, waved his hand faintly and said, "Let's start!"
The Third Senior Brother' raised his eyebrows and looked at the scrawny Fade
Chen. He smiled disdainfully and said, "Boy, you're courting death. Don't
blame me for being rude!" As he spoke, Third Senior Brother moved and was
about to rush towards Fade Chen.
But at this moment, Fade Chen suddenly frowned and shouted, "Wait!"
"Why, do you regret now?" Third Senior Brother said disdainfully.
Fade Chen rubbed his ears lazily. He pointed his finger at them and said
lightly. "It's too troublesome to deal with you one by one. Three of you
should come together at once!"
Chapter 74
"What did you say?" the Third Senior Brother was
furious and glared at Fade Chen.
"I asked for three of you to fight me at once. Do you not understand me or
do you not dare to come?" Fade Chen looked indifferent, which made the
Senior Brothers and the other two opponents burst into anger.
"Boy, you're courting death!" Third Senior Brother gritted his teeth
and shouted angrily. He moved his feet and was about to attack Fade Chen.
At this moment, Horace Wan spoke from the opposite side. He looked at Fade Chen
with enthusiasm, then looked at Tom Wei and said with a smile, "Tom Wei, this
is a weird trick! This weirdo really catch me off guard!"
Tom Wei ignored Horace Wan's sarcasm and said with a cold and confident
expression, "You don't dare take him on?"
"If your men are timid, they can go one by one, however it will be a waste
of time for Fade Chen." Tom Wei put his hands in his trouser pockets with
a relaxed expression.
The muscles on Horace Wan's face twitched, but then he regained a confident
smile and said, "Tom Wei, 'll play with you until the end, so let's have
three people go at once. We'll see the outcome later."
"However, since the rules of the competition have been changed, our bets
have to be changed." A bright light flashed in Horace Wan's eyes, and he
looked at Tom Wei.
Tom Wei glanced at Fade Chen and then said to Horace, "How are you trying
to change the bet now?"
Horace Wan smiled and said, "We'll place a bigger bet since the battle is
more intense." We will put in additional things on top of the land bet.
You, Tom Wei, will lose the gold dragon saber of Long Enterprise to me if I
win."
As soon as he said this, Tom Wei's face changed, Huang and the others beside
him said in unison.
"It's impossible. The Golden Dragon Saber is Uncle Eli's heirloom. How
could he place that as a bet with you?"
"Horace Wan, you must be kidding."
"The Golden Dragon Saber is the symbol of Long Enterprise. It can't be
used in gambling."
------------------------
Everyone disagreed, but after seeing Fade Chen nod confidently, Tom Wei looked
at Horace Wan and said, "If you want me to bet with the Golden Dragon
Saber, you have to take out something of equivalent value."
Horace Wan's eyes lit up and he said, "Of course we won't take advantage
of you. I'll give you the 'Nine Star Plant that my family has treasured for
twenty years if I lose this battle.
"Nine- star Plant?" Tom Wei was not aware of the value of the
medicinal materials, so he could not judge it, hence he could only look at Fade
Chen for help.
At this moment, hearing the words "Nine Star Plant", Fade Chen's eyes
lit up and showed a hint of excitement and he then nodded quickly at Tom Wel.
Tom Wei got the hint and said to Horace Wan, "Okay, I'll use the Golden
Dragon Saber to bet with the Nine Star Plant."
Hearing this, Huang and the others suddenly became nervous and rushed over to
persuade Tom Wei against it, but Tom Wei waved his hand to stop them. "I
believe in Fade!"
Huang and the others were worried and helpless at once. They could only cast
their furious eyes on Fade Chen. They thought that this guy was only arrogant
under normal circumstances, but in such a situation, he was still the same. If
Master Wei loses the Golden Dragon Saber, Long Enterprise would be deeply
embarrassed.
However, Horace Wan was obviously very excited about this. When he heard Tom
Wei's words, he immediately said, "Master Wei, you are so bold. In this
case, please draft a document."
After that some professionals came over and added the Golden Dragon Saber and
the Nine Star Plant to the original bet. They then asked Tom Wei and Horace Wan
to sign for confirmation on the authenticity of the document.
After signing the contract, Horace Wan smiled and couldn't wait to wave his
hand to start. He said to the three senior brothers, "All of you go
together and play with Master Wei's man. Remember, the stake this time is a
Golden- dragon Saber. Don't hold back and attack with all your strength."
"Yes, Master Wan!" The three fighters answered in unison. A powerful
energy emanated from them.
Despite this, Tom Wei looked calm and fearless. He just gently nodded at Fade
Chen. As he had witnessed Fade Chen's attacks before, he knew how terrifying
Fade Chen's strength was. Even if Horace Wan had brought with him a powerful
fighter, he still stood no chance in front of Fade Chen.
"Let's start." Horace Wan shouted, and the three fighters moved for
the kill.
The three of them pounced very quickly and cooperated very skillfully. In an
instant, they separated from each other and came towards Fade Chen from the
front, left and right. Their attacks were fierce and sharp.
As for Fade Chen, he seemed to be frightened by the three people's attacks and
stood still without any movement.
Seeing this, Huang and the others behind Tom Wei could not help but feel
butterflies in their stomach. Their hearts thumped violently and they knew that
something bad might happen.
However, they still had to hold on to their last hope. Huang looked at Master
Liu and said, "Master Liu, you are fellow disciples with these men, you
should tell our guy what are their weaknesses."
Master Liu was very dissatisfied with Tom Wei's arrogance, but he was on the
same team, hence he had to help Tom at this moment. So he hurriedly shouted,
"Boy on the stage, watch out. Their main attack uses the right hand. When
you resist, dodge to the left and find a chance to fight them."
However, Fade Chen, on the stage, seemed not to hear Master Liu's shouting, and
there was no change at all in his composure. On the contrary, the three people
immediately changed their moves after hearing Master Liu's guidance and came at
him using their left hands.
Seeing this, Huang and Master Liu were so anxious and furious that they almost
tore their clothes apart.
On the other hand, Horace Wan's party was getting more excited and proud, their
smiles became brighter, as if they had seen the dawn of victory. "Tom Wei,
go back and prepare the Golden Dragon Saber. I'll get it right away."
Tom Wei smiled and said, "Horace Wan, the competition is not yet over.
It's not unsure who emerges as the winner.! guess it's possible that you have
to prepare the Nine Star Plant."
"Really? I don't think it's possible!" Horace Wan smiled confidently.
Tom Wei did not continue. Instead, he turned to look at the battleground.
At this moment, the three fighters had surrounded Fade Chen. One of them used
his fist, one with his palm, and the last one with his leg. They almost covered
Fade Chen's whole body from top to bottom, leaving him no chance to fight back.
Their fierce attacks were about to hit Fade Chen at lightning speed.
At this moment, the hearts of Huang and the others completely sank to the
bottom, there was no hope at all. Some people could not bear to watch the scene
and hurriedly closed their eyes.
But just when the opponent was about to attack, Fade Chen moved. His
wooden-like figure suddenly turned into a shadow.
His shadowy figure moved back and forth between the three people, and the sound
of "bang bang bang" was heard. His figure then stopped moving
immediately. Fade Chen returned to his previous state, and beside him, the
three people who had been attacking him fiercely just were lying on the ground
and could not move at all.
Chapter 75
In an instant, the scene was silent. Almost everyone was
stunned and stared at the scene in the field. Many people couldn't help rubbing
their eyes, as if they couldn't believe what was happening in front of them at
all.
A few seconds later, Huang first came to his senses and shouted excitedly,
"See! That guy won! We won!"
With Huang's cheers, all the people on Tom Wei's side began to celebrate
excitedly and suddenly became a sea of celebration.
On the opposite side, the confident smile on Horace Wan's face turned into an
incredible shock. His whole face was stiff, and he couldn't believe what was
happening in front of him. He shouted at the three people, "What the f**k
are you doings? Get up, continue to fight now!"
However, the three of them obviously could not meet his requirements. They lay
on the ground groaning painfully and could not move at all.
"Master Wan, the result is obvious. Can't you afford to lose?" Tom
Wei put his hands in his pockets and looked at Horace Wan with a faint smile.
Horace Wan looked terrible, and the muscles on his face kept twitching. He
clenched his fists and paused for more than ten seconds. Then he took a deep
breath, looked up at Tom Wei saying, "I lost this time."
Tom Wei continued, "It's good that you admit your loss. In that case, it's
time to fulfill the bet."
Horace Wan's face twitched, revealing a painful look. He took out a document
and handed it to Tom Wei, saying, "This is the certificate of that piece
of land. Now, it's yours."
Tom Wei took the certificate without hesitation and looked at it. After
confirming that there was no problem, he put it away. Then he said,
"Master Wan, what about the Nine Star Plant?"
Horace Wan's expression darkened when he heard the mentioning of Nine Star
Plant, yet he still said, "The 'Nine Star Plant' was added up on the spur
of the moment. I didn't bring it with me. I'll send it to you later."
"Later?" Tom Wei said with a faint smile, "Since it's a promise
from you, Master Wan, I'll believe it. I'll wait for you to send the Nine Star
Plant then."
"Humph!" Horace Wan snorted. He could not stay any longer and was
about to leave.
However, at this moment, Fade Chen said, "Wait!"
All of a sudden, Wan Hui's face froze. He stopped, turned to look at Fade Chen
and said, "What else would you like to do?"
Behind Horace Wan, the group of people looked extremely nervous. Because Fade
Chen's strength was too brutal just now. He defeated the three masters hired by
Master Wan. Perhaps this guy's strength had reached the middle stage of the
Yellow Class. If he directly turned hostile and started a fight, none of their
people could leave.
Under their frightened gazes, Fade Chen walked up to Horace Wan, stared into
his eyes, and asked, "I would like to ask you a question. Do you know
about Guanyin drunkenness?"
"Guanyin drunkenness!"
Hearing these three words, the people around them all looked puzzled and began
to talk about it. However, Horace Wan's eyes flashed a light quickly, then he
shook his head and said, "I don't know, I haven't heard of it. Why do you
ask this?"
Fade Chen said blandly, "Nothing. Since you don't know, then forget it.
Please go back."
Horace Wan didn't say a word and immediately turned away, His pace was much
faster than before. Behind him, the group of people also followed along.
At this moment, Tom Wei came over and asked, "Fade Chen, what's that
Guanyin drunkenness? Is there anything wrong with Horace Wan? Do you need me to
do anything?"
"No, I already know the answer." Fade Chen shook his head. Although
Horace Wan denied it just now, the strange light flashing in his eyes had
already told Fade Chen that he absolutely knew about Guanyin drunkenness. Quin
Lin's poisoning must have something to do with him.
At this time, with the departure of Horace Wan and others, the holiday resort suddenly
became the paradise of Huang. The group of people had already shouted and
drunk. They came over with a bottle of wine and pulled Fade Chen and Tom Wei
over, excitedly celebrating the victory just now.
As the key point of victory, Fade Chen undoubtedly became the focus of
everyone's attention. They came to toast one after another. Even Huang, who had
not fought with Fade Chen just now, personally came to apologize with a glass
of wine.
Even Master Liu, who was invited by Huang, was more exaggerated. He drank to
toast three times, and then knelt down in front of Fade Chen, intending to
worship Fade Chen as his master.
This shocked the group of people. After all, Master Liu was the most powerful
one they invited. How could Master Liu directly kneeled down to such a young
man to learn martial arts? This was completely beyond their expectation. In
their view, although Fade Chen was good at martial arts, he was not much better
than Master Liu.
But at this moment, Master Liu did not have that kind of thought at all. He was
a martial arts practitioner, he knew how marvelous Fade Chen's skill was just
now and how big the gap between him and Fade Chen was. Therefore, he completely
ignored his reputation and directly knelt down to acknowledge Fade Chen as his
master.
Fade Chen helped Master Liu up and did not agree to accept him as a disciple.
However, he promised to guide Master Liu's martial arts. The effect of the
on-site progress made Master Liu very excited, and he was grateful to Fade
Chen.
In this way, the hatchet men brought by others immediately gathered around and
asked Fade Chen to teach them. Fade Chen gave each of them some guidance
without hesitation.
After the excitement came to an end, the celebration came to an end. Fade Chen
finally quieted down. He found Tom Wei and said directly, "Tom, the Nine
Star Plant in Horace Wan's bet is useful to me. Can you give it to me? I will
compensate you in other aspects."
Tom Wei said seriously, "Fade, it's yours. If you didn't take part in this
competition, we won't even be talking about the Nine Star Plant. And our own
territory will be lost in the bet. But now, we win the territory and make a lot
of money. How can we covet the Nine Star Plant? As soon as Horace Wan sends it
to me, I will send it to you immediately."
Fade Chen was a straightforward person. Hearing this, he nodded and said,
"That's fine. I'll take the Nine Star Plant. If you have anything you need
from me in future, I won't refuse."
The celebration lasted until the evening. Everyone drank a lot and partied
together. Fade Chen was also getting along with Huang and the others well.
Their family's business was closely related to that of the Long Enterprise, so
they naturally were on Tom Wei's side. But of course, there were many people
involved in many industries, the people present covered almost all of the main
industries in Bay City.
For instance, there were the owners of construction companies, the owners of
car modification and repair workshops, the owners of massage parlours, and the
owners of hotels and restaurants, amongst others.
