Chapter 158 - Call Me (2/2)

She had saved up Lord Wu’s favor for a long time and finally used it today; however, Lord Wu was only concerned enough to go through the motions and perfunctorily sent an underling here.

With that thought in mind, Lu Yanxue couldn’t help feeling sad.

“Is that how far I am behind Sister Yanwu? When Sister Yanwu arrived at Jiang Zhou City, Lord Wu received her with such respect and gave her so much attention. However, he nearly ignored my phone call when I was in need. If not because of Sister Yanwu, he might not even send this underling here.”

“Xiao Xue, do something.” Miao Xiaoqian was on the brink of tearing up.

Lu Yanxue’s paled and said: “What can I do? I am from the offshoot branch of the Lu Family, without my sister Yanwu, Lord Wu would not even answer my phone call.”

Hearing her words, tears welled in Miao Xiaoqian’s eyes. She looked to Chen Fan helplessly.

“Little s.h.i.+t, let’s see who will save you this time.” Brother Wu said with a sneer.

A group of brawny men that accompanied Brother Wu also glared at Chen Fan gloatingly, some readied their fists to beat up the defenseless boy. The pa.s.sengers on the bus watched as the development unfolded. They shook their heads and lamented the sad ending after so many twists and turns.

Then, they saw Chen Fan crooked his head to one said as said: “Young Lord Teng? Young Lord Sheng? I don’t know either of them, but I do have an acquaintance here in the City of Clear Water. Can I call him?”

“I don’t think anyone below Young Lord Teng would save your sorry a.s.s.” Brother Wu said with a grin.

Deng Jun shot out an arm, willing the seething crowd to wait. He gave Chen Fan a cold glare and then said: “Tell me who he is.”

Deng Jun was not afraid of Chen Fan, he was a cautious person and never liked to jump into action without knowing what he was dealing with.

The pa.s.sengers in the bus shook their heads. The girl had already asked help from Lord Wu and that still wouldn’t help them; what could a sixteen-year-old boy’s friend do?”

Lu Yanxue also let out a contemptuous snort. She didn’t believe that Chen Fan could have any connections who were more powerful than Lord Wu.

Chen Fan said slowly: “His name is… Liu Guodong, if my memory serves me right.”

“Liu Guodong? Who the h.e.l.l is that?” The group of brawny men laughed out loud. Brother Wu laughed as he gloated over Chen Fan’s impending doom.

However, Deng Jun’s face turned dark in shock.

“Liu Guodong… Baldy Liu of City of Clear Water?”

As soon as he let out those words, the crowd stopped laughing. The smiles froze on their faces.

The name Baldy Liu was much more well known among the citizens of Clear Water compared to his real name Liu Guodong. Ninety-nine percent of the local residents had never heard his real name, but everyone knew Baldy Liu.

“You know Boss Liu?”

Deng Jun looked to Chen Fan suspiciously.

“Deng Jun, don’t listen to him. How could Boss Liu befriend a young boy such as him?” Someone shouted.

“Just so! Deng Jun, I say he had never even met Young Lord Teng, much less Boss Liu. I bet he just threw that name out there to scare us.” Another man put in.

Deng Jun didn’t believe Chen Fan either. It was nearly impossible for a no-account youngster to befriend a powerful tyc.o.o.n in the city.

Even Lu Yanxue looked at Chen Fan incredulously.”You said you know Baldy Liu?”

“Who is Baldy Liu?” Miao Xiaoqian asked.

Lu Yanxue quickly filled her in. After listening to Boss Liu’s ill.u.s.trative achievements, Miao Xiaoqian also became suspicious of Chen Fan’s claim. Nonetheless, she looked to Chen Fan expectantly, hoping he was telling the truth.

“Kiddo, if you lie to me, I will make you suffer twice as much!” Deng Jun glared at Chen Fan and said menacingly.

Chen Fan was unfazed by the threat. He produced a cell phone from his pocket and dialed a number. After he exchanged a few words over the phone, he hung up.

“That’s it?” Everyone was at a loss.

He thought that a phone call would deter us?” Brother Wu thought lightheartedly. Lu Yanxue and Miao Xiaoqian felt disappointed at the anti-climatic development. Even as Deng Jun was about to order an attack, his cell phone rang.

“Who the heck is it? Does he know I am busy?”

Deng Jun hold back his anger and pulled out the cell phone from his pocket.

At the corner of his eyes, he caught the caller display and the sight set him back on his heels.

The caller display read: “Boss Liu!”
