Chen Fan’s brows drew together as he took the phone out of his pocket.
“Xiao Qi?”
The name reminded Chen Fan that he had agreed to meet with Mr. Wei to treat his injury. Having distracted by the incident between Yang Chao and Zhou Tianhao, he nearly forgot about the appointment.
Only with the slightest hesitation, Chen Fan answered the phone.
“h.e.l.lo, is that Mr. Chen? I am Xiao Qi. I am right by your house, are you ready to go?”
Chen Fan heard Xiao Qi’s respectful voice drifted out of the cell phone.
Xiao Qi had been enthralled by Chen Fan’s power ever since he witnessed the boy turned the willow leaf into a deadly weapon. He was a professional bodyguard and respected strength and power the most among other things.
“Ah- Sorry! I am not at the Lakeside Community at this moment.” Chen Fan was a little embarra.s.sed for having the young man drive all the way to his house for nothing.
“Oh- where are you then? Is there anything I can help with?” Xiao Qi asked haltingly, feeling uncomfortable for poking his nose into the boy’s business.
“I am at the New District. I ran into a little… trouble.” Chen Fan sat calmly and didn’t pay any attention to Zhou Tianhao.
“You are in trouble? Is there anything I can do?” Xiao Qi asked eagerly.
Xiao Qi paused a second to make sure that his words didn’t come out wrong. Then he explained:” I just don’t want you to be late for the old man’s treatment. Although I am just a bodyguard, I am more resourceful than you think.”
“Ok, appreciate it! It’s nothing serious. I was here at the KTV, and I ran into this businessman named Zhou Tianhao.” Chen Fan told Xiao Qi about the incident. Since Xiao Qi was just a bodyguard, Chen Fan didn’t expect him to be able to help him with the situation.
As soon as Chen Fan mentioned the name Zhou Tianhao, he heard Xiao Qi gasped on the other end of the line.
“Do you know him?” Chen Fan asked curiously
“Yes, I will be there in ten minutes.” Xiao Qi hurried a reply, “Tell Zhou Tianhao to keep his pants on; I will be there right away.”
Chen Fan hung up the phone and was confused by the Xiao Qi’s last few words.
It sounded as if Xiao Qi was not only an acquaintance of Zhou Tianhao, but the two also seemed to have a special connection.
Since Xiao Qi knew Zhou Tianhao, it made Chen Fan hesitate to do away with his problem there and then; therefore, he decided to wait until Xiao Qi was here.
Zhou Tianhao watched as Chen Fan finished the phone call. He didn’t interrupt the boy thinking there was no need to do so. Seeing that the boy had hung up his mobile phone, he finally spoke with a smug smile on his face, “Well, did you find any helper? ”
“Go on; I will not interrupt you. Why don’t you call everyone you know and see who would come to your rescue?”
“Well, this friend of mine said that he would be here in ten minutes. He told you to keep—to wait for him” Chen Fan was going to repeat Xiao Chen’s words, but then thought better of it.
It was all for the better if Xiao Qi could solve this problem since Chen Fan was not ready to reveal his real power yet.
“Let me wait?” Zhou Tianhao said incredulously. He nodded with his jaw tightened, and then he said, “Ok, I will wait for ten minutes.
“I want to find out who dare cross me in the Chu Zhou City.”
And then they waited; no one spoke a word, dragging out the silence.
Chen Fan felt that the quietness in the room was similar to the stifled air before a violent summer downpour. Anger mounted inside of Zhou Tianhao by the second.
In less than ten minutes, they heard a loud commotion coming from outside of the door.
Everyone turned toward the entrance, and they saw a fit young man stormed into the room.
He cast around the Imperial Hall with a placid expression. Afterward, he walked to Chen Fan and greeted him respectfully
“Mr. Chen, are you okay? Did they hurt you?”
“In their dreams.” Chen Fan cracked a smile and then shook his head.
“That’s what I thought. I apologize Mr. Chen. I didn’t mean to undermine your strength.” The young man cracked a smile awkwardly and said. He wrenched his head toward the group of people sitting on the sofa and shouted, “Zhou Tianhao! Are you out of your mind?”
Zhou Tinghao’s face paled as soon as he realized who the young man was. Hearing Xiao Qi’s hot castigation, he jumped out of the sofa and fumbled a reply:” Brother-Qi, how-how, are you doing?”
Zhou Tianhao reckoned that this young man was the bodyguard of the old Don: Mr.Wei.
