GOR Chapter 169: Boss Duan’s Troubles

Yu Jiajia’s eyes widened. “You… you cannot be thinking of… breaking the law…”

“Shh,” Chen Xiaolian smiled softly. “Can you help do me this favour?”

Looking at Yu Jiajia’s concerned expression, Chen Xiaolian softly added. “I know where to draw the line.”

Yu Jiajia hesitated for a moment and bit down on her lips.

It would appear that this girl had made up her mind.

“This morning, I called up the company. They told me not to say anything to the police first and they will send the chauffeur and their lawyers over. So… you can be at ease, I know what to say,” Yu Jiajia took a deep breath. “I will say… I do not know those criminals and that I have never seen them before.”

After saying that, she tightly gripped Chen Xiaolian’s arm. “However, you have to promise me! You must not do anything that is too dangerous! If… if you do anything impulsive, then I would rather tell everything to the police!”

…

After successfully persuading Yu Jiajia to leave, Chen Xiaolian sat on the chair by the corridor.

Roddy came over, sat down beside him and handed a bottle of water to Chen Xiaolian.

Chen Xiaolian unscrewed the bottle and gulped down a mouthful of water.

“Finally managed to coax the little beauty to go away?” Roddy said in a rather playful tone. “It seems you are hiding something from me, Xiaolian. Hmm… secretly hooking up with a little beauty in Hangzhou. Additionally, you even had the gall to use my name to deceive her! You bastard! You committed adultery and left my name instead, what a vicious move!”

Chen Xiaolian turned his head to look at Roddy. “Thank you.”

“Eh?”

“I know, you intentionally said those things to cheer me up,” Chen Xiaolian smiled. He kneaded his face and said. “Actually, I am not feeling sad right now.”

His eyes became distant and he continued. “Perhaps I was somewhat a little anxious when we were coming over. I did felt a little worried. However, once we arrived and I saw Da Gang lying inside, I suddenly feel at ease.

“The reason I could feel at ease is probably due to that fact that we are no longer the same people as before. Da Gang’s injuries are severe. However, as long as he did not die, I can use the Healing Beast Blood from the system to help him recover.

“As for those problems… in my opinion, people like us would not face too much difficulty in trying to solve those problems.”

“It is good that you can think that way,” Roddy gave a sigh of relief.

“This change in mentality is something I am still unable to get used to,” Chen Xiaolian frowned and attempted to assess himself. “My mind is still feeling suffocated. I feel this rage somewhere, but I do not know how to give vent to it. It feels a though I am simply punching into a clump of cotton.”

The police did not come to question Chen Xiaolian anymore… after the basic questions earlier, the police gave up on questioning Chen Xiaolian anymore. After all, he was an outsider and merely a friend.

On the surface, it would appear that this case had nothing to do with him.

Truth be told, when the police had called him up, there were not only trying to investigate the case, they were also doing so at the hospital’s request. Due to how heavy Da Gang’s injuries were, the hospital needed his family members to come forward.

However, Da Gang had no family members. He only had one friend, Chen Xiaolian.

“Back then, I had already inquired about it. The hospital treatment fees have all been paid for by the girl from earlier,” Roddy looked at Chen Xiaolian. “Who is that girl? And what is her connection to you?”

His tone turned somewhat serious. “Did you do anything wrong by Qiao Qiao?”

Chen Xiaolian smiled. “Stop spouting nonsense. This girl… hmm, her name is Yu Jiajia. There is nothing between us.”

“Hmph! Nothing? The moment she saw you, she flew into your arms,” Roddy laughed. “Back then, I should have taken a picture and sent it to Qiao Qiao.”

At the mention of Qiao Qiao, Chen Xiaolian’s expression turned absent-minded.

As he was still unable to contact Qiao Qiao, he was unable to answer this problem.

Noticing the strange reaction in Chen Xiaolian’s expression, Roddy hesitated. “You… did something happen between you and Qiao Qiao?”

“Nothing,” Chen Xiaolian shook his head and stood up. “What time is it now?”

“Half past one,” Roddy looked at his watch. “What are you planning?”

“To do something!” Chen Xiaolian gritted his teeth. “Last time, I did not handle things properly. Since I am here, I will do what needs to be done.”

“Do something?” Roddy raised an eyebrow. “What do you plan on doing?”

“You stay here and keep an eye on things. Originally, I had intended to give him a Healing Beast Blood immediately. However, after thinking things through, it does not feel right. The police are still working on this case; they will come to find him. Besides, he was just saved from danger. Considering how heavy his injuries are, if he is to suddenly get well, it will only arouse the suspicion of others. We will not be able to explain the situation to both the hospital and the police. So, for now, you need to stay here to keep an eye on his situation. As long as his situation is stable, there is no need to give him the medicinal substance yet. However, if his situation turns critical… then forget about it and just give him the medicinal substance. After that, think of something to take him away!”

“That is simple,” Roddy nodded his head. “What about you?”

“I will go look for someone,” Chen Xiaolian said coolly. “Looking for the criminals.”

Roddy was not worried. After the fight they had to undergo in Tokyo, these bunch of rogues were not something worth worrying about.

…

Chen Xiaolian quickly left the hospital. Flagging down a cab, he reached the internet café located near the school and began to look for information.

Searching for those people should not prove too difficult.

Although Chen Xiaolian do not know their names, he was clear that these people who like to frequent internet cafes would often come to the same area.

Chen Xiaolian walked around the school; he visited several internet cafes and asked around by describing the appearance and clothes worn by those two fellows.

Those scoundrels who like to dye their hair had very distinctive facial features.

Additionally… Chen Xiaolian also offered money.

In a certain internet café, Chen Xiaolian forked out a thousand yuans and acquired some information from the manager in charge and a customer.

The two fellows’ names were ‘Little Cotton’ and ‘Fertile Fatty’.

Clearly, those were nicknames. However, things would be easier with nicknames.

According to the information he obtained, the two of them would often appear in a barbeque shop within a night market. There were plenty of people who knew those two there.

After obtaining the information, Chen Xiaolian made a call to Roddy in the hospital and inquired about Da Gang’s situation. After being informed that Da Gang was doing well, Chen Xiaolian told Roddy.

“I will be back a little later.”

…

During dinner, Chen Xiaolian simply went to the barbeque shop within the night market. Although the night market had yet to begin, the dinner business there was quite good.

First, Chen Xiaolian had ordered some food for himself. Seating himself at a corner table, he observed the surroundings for a moment.

Then, he went over to a nearby table of guests that exuded a ‘gang atmosphere’.

Going to table, Chen Xiaolian inquired about the two fellows and noticed the vigilance shown by the guests of the table. One of the guests glared at Chen Xiaolian and asked back in a savage tone. “Who are you? Why are you asking about them?”

Chen Xiaolian smiled.

A few minutes later, the shop was turned upside down.

Those fellows were beaten to the point where they were sprawled on the ground. As for the fellow who had glared at Chen Xiaolian, he was kicked out of the shop and into the alley behind the shop.

Naturally, Chen Xiaolian did not forget to hand over some money to the shop owner as compensation for the broken items.

…

“Normally, I am quite the easy-going person. However, I am presently not in a good mood. And don’t even ask me about my temper.”

Chen Xiaolian trampled the fellow down onto the ground. Next, in front of the fellow’s eyes, he twisted a steel pipe to the point where it became twisted dough. “I will give you three seconds to consider. If you decide not to talk, then the same thing is going to happen to your legs.”

The fellow was scared stiff.

“I will talk! I will talk! I am not that familiar with them! I have only drunk with them once! They are working for Boss Duan!”

“Who is this Boss Duan?”

“Boss Duan… Boss Duan is someone involved in big business,” The fellow stared at the twisted steel pipe in Chen Xiaolian’s hand and he felt his mind breaking down.

“Big business?” Chen Xiaolian smiled. “I happen to love doing big business. Talk, what kind of business is Boss Duan involved in?”

…

Chen Xiaolian was able to quickly suss out what the big business was.
