"Son, why did you mysteriously bring me to this place?" Wang Fang asked, looking around in confusion after getting out of the car.
"Mom, I'm bringing you home."
"Home?" Wang Fang's confusion deepened. As far as she knew, this was the best high-end residential area in Hangzhou, where residents were all wealthy and noble. The cheapest house here cost tens of millions.
"Yes, our new home. Come, I'll take you inside." Lin Chen smiled and took Wang Fang's hand, walking forward.
At the entrance, the security guards immediately stopped them, sizing them up with disdain. "Do you even know what kind of place this is? Do you think you belong here?"
Snobs! A cold glint flashed in Lin Chen's eyes, and he said sternly, "I live here, and I need to go in."
The security guard acted as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, bursting into laughter. "You say you live here? Do you know who lives here? What kind of cars do they usually drive in and out?"
Several colleagues nearby couldn't help but mock them. They had just seen Lin Chen and Wang Fang get out of a taxi. How could someone living here not even have a car?
"Kid, you'll never live here in this lifetime. You'll have to be born into a good family in your next life!"
"Kid, you're quite amusing. If you want to come in and broaden your horizons, kowtow to each of us, and we might consider letting you in."
"..."
Wang Fang's face turned very grim. She gently tugged Lin Chen's sleeve. "Chen'er, let's go back!"
"Mom, don't worry, leave it to me." Lin Chen had originally not wanted to resort to force in front of Wang Fang and had given them a chance, but these people were too overbearing and insisted on 'courting death.'
"Your mouths are so foul!" The security guards never expected Lin Chen to dare to insult them. They roared and charged at Lin Chen, determined to teach him a harsh lesson.
"Chen'er, be careful!" Lin Chen smiled at Wang Fang and met their charge. There were no fancy moves, just punch after punch.
"Ah! It hurts so much!"
"My head is going to explode!"
"..."
Amidst several cries of pain, the security guards fell to the ground. Wang Fang was stunned. She had been so worried when she saw so many security guards menacingly about to attack Lin Chen. She never expected Lin Chen to be such a good fighter. It seemed her son had truly changed.
Just then, one of the security guards got up, glared at Lin Chen, and said through gritted teeth, "Kid, you dare to cause trouble here, you're finished. No one can save you. I'm calling for backup now..." Before he could finish, a man in a suit and tie came running from a distance. He glanced at the security guards lying on the ground, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and approached Lin Chen, asking respectfully, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Lin Chen?"
"I am." Upon receiving a positive confirmation, the man became even more respectful. "Mr. Lin, hello. I am the property manager of this community. I received notice from above that you might be moving in within the next two days. I never expected these ignorant fools to offend you. Please forgive them."
Lin Chen said indifferently, "They are a bunch of snobs. You need to manage them properly."
"Yes, yes, you are right to scold us." The man turned, cast a stern look at the security guards, and said in a deep voice, "Effective today, you are all fired."
Upon hearing this, the security guards' faces changed drastically. Working in this place not only offered high salaries but also considerable prestige. Where would they find such a good job if they were fired?
"Sir, it was my fault for being blind and offending you. Please forgive me."
"Sir, I have elderly parents and young children. I can't lose this job. Please give me another chance." The security guard who had initially looked down on Lin Chen slapped himself repeatedly. He truly regretted it now.
Lin Chen showed no sympathy, leading Wang Fang, whose expression was complex, inside.
A few minutes later.
Lin Chen, holding Wang Fang's hand, walked into the villa. Looking at the opulent surroundings, Wang Fang subconsciously swallowed and asked tremulously, "Chen'er, is this our new home?"
"Yes, I cured an elder, and he gave this to me as a gift. From now on, we'll live here." Wang Fang nodded, looking around as if in a dream. Not long ago, she had been seriously ill, thinking she would never see Lin Chen again. But not only had she recovered, but she had also moved into such a grand villa. All of this was thanks to Lin Chen.
"Mom, I'll show you around."
"Okay."
Time flew by. It got dark. Wang Fang had already fallen asleep. Lin Chen returned to his room, chanted a spell, and immediately entered the 'Nine Dragon Ring' to cultivate.
After an unknown amount of time.
A dark figure, as swift as lightning, darted into the villa. He moved like a startled rabbit, searching inside and out. He only saw Wang Fang sleeping and couldn't find Lin Chen. He muttered, "Hmm! The intelligence shouldn't be wrong!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold voice came from behind, "Are you looking for me?" The figure was greatly startled and immediately turned around. Standing behind him was the target, Lin Chen.
"When did you get there?" Lin Chen smiled coldly, not answering. In fact, he had known the moment the figure entered the villa. He hadn't revealed himself because he wanted to see what the intruder intended to do.
The figure felt greatly insulted, gritted his teeth, and roared, "Kid, you're asking for death!" He raised his palm and struck.
"Overestimating yourself." Lin Chen rushed forward. With just one punch, the figure was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground. He looked at Lin Chen with shock, trembling, and asked, "Who, who exactly are you?"
"You are not qualified to know. Tell me, who sent you?" The figure knew he was doomed. A ferocious look appeared on his face, and he gritted his teeth, shouting, "Bastard, you'll never get any useful information from me."
"Is that so?" Lin Chen gave an evil smile. His eyes gradually turned red, emitting a green light that quickly drilled into the figure's mind. This was the Soul Searching Secret Technique. The figure let out a scream of agony.
Two minutes later. Lin Chen knew everything. This guy's codename was 'Mad Lion,' the number one assassin in the Hangzhou area. He had been hired by Zhong Hao to assassinate Lin Chen.
"Zhong Hao, I gave you one chance, and you didn't cherish it. Then you can't blame me." A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Lin Chen's eyes. He killed Mad Lion and discarded the body into the Nine Dragon Ring.
...
In a luxurious hotel. Zhong Hao had just finished with a newly debuted young star and was lying comfortably on the bed, smoking. "It's strange. Mad Lion has been gone for so long, why hasn't he called yet?"
"Lin Chen, so what if you cured Old Master Shangguan's illness? You offended me and made me lose face, so you must die."
"A piece of trash like you, living at the bottom of society, dares to fight me? You're truly overestimating yourself." After speaking, Zhong Hao flicked away his cigarette butt and was about to get up for a shower when he suddenly saw in front of him...
Yes, Lin Chen had phased through the wall and entered.
"Ah!" Zhong Hao was scared half to death and fell onto the floor.
"What, are you shocked to see me?" Lin Chen looked at Zhong Hao with amusement.
