Chapter 1063 Xuanji Hall Will Protect Us!
Ou Zhonghai sneered, "If you had any brains, Xia Yilin, you'd know there are people we can't afford to offend. Do you know how many people you'd offend by publishing this news? Our newspaper can't bear that!"
"But there's clearly something wrong with those pickled vegetables! Are we just going to let people eat unclean food?"
Xia Yilin was very displeased.
"So what if there is? At worst, we won't eat it. Whether they eat it or not is none of our business," Ou Zhonghai scoffed.
"You..."
Xia Yilin was so angry her eyes blazed. She never expected Ou Zhonghai to be this kind of person.
"Stop the nonsense, Reporter Xia, come with us!"
At this moment, Zhang Qiang suddenly spoke. kAnshu伍.ξà
"What if I refuse to go?" Xia Yilin gritted her teeth. kanδん
"Refuse? Then there's nothing we can do but tie you up!" Zhang Qiang sneered, waved his hand, and two tough guys immediately jumped out from behind him.
"Since when did the Qing Gang get so arrogant?"
Just then, a cold shout rang out, silencing the surroundings.
"Our Qing Gang is precisely this arrogant..."
Zhang Qiang was in high spirits and opened his mouth subconsciously, but the next moment he shut it, his expression trembling.
A group of people, dressed in training uniforms with the Xuanji Hall emblem embroidered on their chests, filed in, their figures crashing into his sight.
The Xuanji Hall emblem on their chests was so glaring, it sent a chill down his spine.
It's Xuanji Hall...
Everyone's faces turned uglier than if they had eaten a fly. They never expected people from Xuanji Hall to appear here. After all, Xuanji Hall was a top force in the provincial capital. Compared to them, they were worlds apart, with no comparability.
Ou Zhonghai's mouth also fell open, revealing an expression of disbelief. How could people from Xuanji Hall have arrived?
This wasn't the first time they had seen people from Xuanji Hall, but the second. On that occasion, their newspaper had been severely warned, their top reporter Sister Wu had been driven away, and Xia Yilin had been promoted from an intern to a full-time reporter.
They appeared again this time. Could it be for Xia Yilin?
No, absolutely impossible!
He couldn't believe it, especially since Xia Yilin had said she wasn't familiar with Chen Xuan.
The crowd parted, and Yang Chaotian strode out. He slapped Zhang Qiang across the face, "You dare to be arrogant with me again, see what happens!"
A venomous look shot from Zhang Qiang's eyes, but he dared not speak out in anger. He had to speak in a humble and fawning tone, "My apologies, brothers of Xuanji Hall. I didn't know you were here. I'm truly sorry. I'll treat you to a meal to apologize another day."
Clearly, he didn't recognize Yang Chaotian.
"Consider yourselves sensible!"
Yang Chaotian snorted coldly, "Then get lost quickly!"
"Our Qing Gang has some business with this reporter, and we request Xuanji Hall's convenience!"
Zhang Qiang squeezed out a word between his teeth.
Yang Chaotian glanced at Xia Yilin, "This reporter, our Xuanji Hall will protect!"
"This..."
Zhang Qiang looked embarrassed. If it were any other day, he would have agreed without a second thought, but this matter was unusual. The higher-ups had given an order to bring Xia Yilin and the information back, no matter the cost.
Upon hearing this, Xia Yilin felt as if she were dreaming. However, the next moment, she understood. It must have been Chen Xuan who sent them here, otherwise, why would people from Xuanji Hall protect her for no reason.
Ou Zhonghai was also surprised. Xuanji Hall would actually protect Xia Yilin? Xia Yilin had clearly lied just now. She must have a close relationship with Chen Xuan, and he immediately began to feel uneasy.
"So, you disagree?"
A hint of displeasure flashed across Yang Chaotian's face.
"Brother from Xuanji Hall, our boss has given orders to bring the person back at any cost. We request your convenience, otherwise, I fear it might lead to bloodshed... And frankly, this matter is related to the three major financial groups in the provincial capital..."
Zhang Qiang gritted his teeth and said.
"You scoundrel, how dare you speak to our President Yang like that? You talk about bloodshed, believe it or not, I'll drain all the blood from you right now?" a Xuanji Hall brother shouted.
President Yang?
There seemed to be only one President Yang in Xuanji Hall...
"You are the President of Xuanji Hall, Yang Chaotian?" Zhang Qiang looked at Yang Chaotian in disbelief.
Yang Chaotian did not speak. The person beside him said coldly, "Can a small punk like you even address our President Yang by name?"
Zhang Qiang's cold sweat poured down. "President Yang, I was wrong before. I'll leave now, I'll leave now!"
With that, he turned and left with his men. Even Yang Chaotian had appeared, so what was he? If he stayed any longer, he wouldn't even know how he died.
"Want to leave? Too late!"
Yang Chaotian's cold voice echoed.
"You..."
"Attack!"
With an order, the Xuanji Hall members immediately charged. Zhang Qiang received special attention and was hit on the nose, which was crooked.
Zhang Qiang gritted his teeth, "Why did you hit me?"
"Because I just ate a bowl of pickled vegetable noodles!"
Yang Chaotian said with a dark face.
Zhang Qiang: "......"
There was no one to reason with.
A moment later, the Qing Gang members were beaten badly and taken away by the Xuanji Hall members, their fate left to chance.
"So it's President Yang gracing us with his presence, truly an honor!"
Ou Zhonghai quickly went forward, saying with a smile.
He glanced at Xia Ruolin and said with a smile, "President Yang, I didn't expect our little Xia to know you. Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of her."
After what had just happened, he had to quickly cover his tracks, or he would be doomed.
Xia Ruolin, who couldn't stand injustice, said directly, "President Yang, our Editor Ou is in cahoots with that Zhang Qiang. Zhang Qiang was brought by him. If you hadn't arrived early, I would have been taken away by them."
"Little Xia... I haven't treated you badly..."
Ou Zhonghai panicked.
Yang Chaotian glanced at Ou Zhonghai and said coldly, "Miss Xia, is what you're saying true?"
Ou Zhonghai instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
He squeezed out a word between his teeth: "Yes..."
Yang Chaotian waved his hand, "Drag him out. As for how to deal with him, you decide!"
Before he finished speaking, two people rushed over and dragged Ou Zhonghai out.
"Thank you, President Yang." Xia Ruolin was very grateful.
"You're welcome. If you want to thank anyone, you should thank Mr. Chen. It was our Mr. Chen who asked me to come," Yang Chaotian said with a smile.
The people around looked at Xia Ruolin with envious eyes. They never expected this newcomer to have such a powerful background. They had underestimated her and should have tried to build a good relationship with her earlier.
"I understand. I will thank him properly later," Xia Ruolin said busily.
"Miss Xia, to avoid retaliation, please do not come to work for the next few days. I will arrange for people to protect you. You can return to work after things have calmed down," Yang Chaotian reminded her.
"I understand!"
Xia Ruolin nodded.
......
At this moment, Chen Xuan had returned to the Su family villa and saw Su Yunxi looking worried. He couldn't help but frown and ask, "Yunxi, what happened?"
Su Yunxi saw Chen Xuan and her eyes lit up, "Chen Xuan, it's great you're back! Where is Jiang Ning? Why isn't he in the provincial capital?"
Chen Xuan pondered for a moment, then said, "I sent Jiang Ning on an errand, and he has already left the provincial capital."
In fact, Chen Xuan had arranged for Jiang Ning to go to the capital to pave the way for their expansion into the capital. He hadn't told Su Yunxi about this; he wanted to give her a surprise.
"Ah?!"
Su Yunxi's expression immediately turned dejected, "Then this is going to be bad!"
