In a flash, one week had passed.
Ling Chen was still his usual self, after getting off from work every day he would bring home beer and a few braised dishes, per his daily routine. It was until one morning when a sudden phone call woke him from the land of dreams.
“Boss, I’m on leave today. You…”
“Hurry up and scram back here! If you don’t come, then my company will be destroyed by these people!”
Hearing his boss adopting such a grave tone, Ling Chen did not dare to dally. After all, this matter had to do with his livelihood. Hurriedly splashing some water onto his face, Ling Chen rushed back to his company, not even bothering to brush his teeth.
The company he worked at was situated in the old city district and was within close proximity of his apartment. A ten minutes walk was sufficient to get there.
At the entrance of his company, Ling Chen was rooted to the ground in shock.
Outside the company, there were more than thirty men gathered. They were dressed smartly in black suits and exuded a murderous aura that seemed to make the atmosphere incredibly stifling.
“Where did all these bodyguards come from?” he mused to himself, his eyes darting around and studying his environment. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and he noticed a white Maserati parked at the curb.
“It’s her!”
Ling Chen immediately came to the realisation that the long-legged beauty had actually come, bringing trouble all the way to his company. The lass is really persistent… no, she should be considered a resentful ghost that I can’t shake off!
Women really are vengeful creatures.
“So, you finally showed up.”
Hearing that irritating voice again, Ling Chen didn’t even need to think to know who the culprit was. As he turned his head, he saw Su Lin strolling out of the company and smilingly waved towards her. “Yo, isn’t it Miss Su? What a coincidence.”
With that said, he turned to look at the flat-top youth beside her and studied him. “If I didn’t remember wrongly, you should be called Nanrong Hao.”
“Your memory isn’t too bad.” Su Lin coldly sneered, “Then you should remember the words you said to me that day.”
Ling Chen feigned ignorance and innocently said, “That day, I said many things, I don’t know what you are referring to. Why don’t you remind me?”
Nanrong Hao stood out and confidently proclaimed, “That day, you said that my cousin’s future son will have no…”
“Shut up!” Su Lin viciously glared at Nanrong Hao, killing intent brimming in her eyes. If not for the fact that Nanrong Hao was her cousin, she would have long slapped him. How could there be such an idiot in this world?
Bearing the full brunt of his cousin’s murderous stare, sweat matted Nanrong Hao’s forehead. He quickly lowered his head, not daring to meet her gaze. His older sister and cousin were people that he did not dare to offend.
“Miss Su, I didn’t know you to be such a small-minded person. I only casually said something yet you’re still holding a grudge against me. Furthermore, you were the one at fault in the first place, but you’re still finding trouble with me. Where’s the justice in that?”
“You dare say that I’m a small-minded woman?!” Su Lin fumed with rage. This bastard obviously had a venomous tongue, daring to slander her. From a young age, she had always been pampered, and no one had ever spoken to her that way.
Ling Chen lecherously stared at her ample bosom and said self-righteously, “Well, whether you’re small-minded or not remains to be seen. I believe the only way to find out is for you to strip and let me inspect you.”
This fella… Nanrong Hao stared at Ling Chen with his mouth agape, hardly believing what he just heard. He actually dared to tease Cousin like that. Damn, he’s in trouble now, knowing her fiery temple, she’ll explode for sure!
“You!” Su Lin’s face was flushed red, and she wagged her finger at Ling Chen but was unable to say anything due to her pure unadulterated rage. No, I must calm down!
Taking a deep breath, Su Lin gnashed her teeth and glared at Ling Chen. “Ling Chen, you ruffian, aren’t you good at fighting? Today I brought so many men, if you really possess the capability then I would like to see you beat all of them!”
Ling Chen shrugged his shoulders in response. The opponent was able to trace the invoice back to the courier company, so knowing his name was nothing surprising.
Looking at the encirclement of the dozens of bodyguards, however, Ling Chen felt despondent. He really didn’t want to waste time and energy sparring with these people.
“Ladies and gentlemen, we are all people of culture. Why don’t we just calm down and talk things through rationally?” Ling Chen forced out a smile and placatingly said.
