Chapter 105 Settling Scores After the Harvest
Sister Wu glanced disdainfully at Xia Xia and said domineeringly, "Mr. Chen, Xia Xia is my assistant. I'll ask. I can speak for her!"
Saying that, she turned to Xia Xia and said, "Shall I ask, or will you ask? You tell Mr. Chen yourself..."
She was sure Xia Xia wouldn't dare to object, and even lowered her voice to warn Xia Xia that if she didn't let her ask, she would withhold Xia Xia's internship salary!
"This..."
Xia Xia hesitated.
"Whoever our Mr. Chen says, it's them. Do you want to get beaten?"
How could Master Bai not see the meaning behind it? He rolled up an arm and stared coldly at Sister Wu.
Sister Wu's face instantly turned pale.
Master Bai was a man of the underworld. How could she afford to provoke him? She immediately deflated like a leaky ball.
Master Bai glanced at Xia Xia and urged, "Don't waste Mr. Chen's time. Ask quickly."
Xia Xia quickly nodded. She thought for less than a second before asking, "Mr. Chen, the expert from Sichuan Province challenged you before, but you avoided the meeting. Is it because you were afraid?"
"Didn't I already answer this question? The expert from Sichuan Province wanted to challenge me, but I was preparing for my duel with Su Ning from the capital, so I rejected him and promised to have the duel after I was done."
Chen Xuan was stunned. He hadn't expected Xia Xia to ask this question, but he quickly realized that the girl was trying to clear his name, as many media outlets had been smearing him.
This girl was truly considerate!
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately understood.
So they had all been deceived by that expert from Sichuan Province!
And Sister Wu's expression was also not natural.
She had also smeared Chen Xuan.
"Did you all hear that?"
"With our Mr. Chen's skills, would he avoid a fight? What kind of joke are you making? I'm telling you, I've had everyone record what kind of articles you published. After this matter is over, we'll settle scores later."
Master Bai's cold gaze swept over everyone.
Those who were hit by his gaze all felt their scalps tingle and were on the verge of collapsing.
These reporters had gone all out to smear Chen Xuan just to grab attention, but who would have thought that he would come back to settle scores?
Master Bai was from the White Dragon Chamber of Commerce. If he were to settle scores, their consequences could be imagined...
One by one, they now regretted it deeply. Sister Wu, thinking of the sharp words in her previous news reports, almost fell headfirst.
If people found out, wouldn't they skin her alive?
"Do you have any more questions?" Ye Bufan asked.
"I don't have any!" Xia Xia shook her head.
Ye Bufan nodded and said to Master Bai, "Master Bai, go knock on the door!"
"Yes!"
Master Bai stepped forward without hesitation and reached out to knock on the door of the Sichuan restaurant.
*Knock, knock, knock!*
However, there was no response from inside the Sichuan restaurant.
"Nobody?"
Master Bai frowned, looked back at Chen Xuan, and seeing Chen Xuan give him a look, he kicked the door open with a bang!
"Mr. Chen, please!"
Master Bai made a gesture of invitation.
Chen Xuan strode forward, and the others quickly followed.
Those reporters were all pushing their way forward, trying to figure out what kind of articles would quell Chen Xuan's anger.
Each of them wished they could use the most flowery language to flatter Chen Xuan.
"Hey, what are you doing? Who told you to kick my door? Don't you want to live? Do you know who my cousin is?"
Just then, a figure hobbled over, leaning on a crutch, looking furious.
This person was none other than Huang Tiancheng!
"Hello, we meet again!"
Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes as he saw Huang Tiancheng.
"It's you?"
Huang Tiancheng's leg had been broken by Chen Xuan. He recognized Chen Xuan at a glance, and his eyes shot out venomous light.
"Good, you dare to come here again, boy? You're walking into a trap! You're asking for death!"
Huang Tiancheng was extremely excited, his entire face contorted.
A couple of days ago, his cousin, the expert from Sichuan Province, Yun Zique, had come to challenge Chen Xuan, but Chen Xuan had avoided the meeting. He had seen all the news and felt incredibly smug, but it was a pity that this guy was a turtle hiding in his shell and wouldn't show his face.
Now that he had come to his doorstep, wasn't this equivalent to walking into a trap?
It was a pity that Huang Tiancheng didn't know about Chen Xuan's killing of Su Ning from the capital. If he had known, he would never have been so arrogant.
"Boy, you immediately kneel down and beg for mercy, and I might consider letting you go."
Huang Tiancheng sneered.
Chen Xuan looked at Huang Tiancheng as if he were an idiot. Master Bai took a step forward, raised his hand, and slapped Huang Tiancheng hard across the face: "Who told you to speak to Mr. Chen like that?"
This slap stunned Huang Tiancheng.
Chen Xuan said lightly, "Where is your Sichuan expert cousin? I want to challenge him. Call him out for me!"
"Alright, you dare to hit me? Just you wait. I'll call my cousin out now and see how he deals with you!"
Huang Tiancheng shouted in exasperation.
Then, he hobbled away towards the backyard, leaning on his crutch.
In a certain room, Yun Zique was frantically packing his luggage, sweating profusely. "Damn it, I didn't expect there to be such a powerful expert in Jiangnan Province. He never even showed his face before. Isn't this a trap?"
In Jiangnan Province, Yun Zique had won every battle, which had cultivated his arrogant personality.
But Chen Xuan's battle yesterday had completely stunned him. Chen Xuan, being of similar age, could easily defeat Su Ning, who was close to the Martial Dao Venerable realm, and leave unharmed.
Whether it was his martial arts strength or his background, it was far beyond what he could compare to.
He had already received the news that Chen Xuan was preparing to challenge him today. With that, Yun Zique, after witnessing Chen Xuan's strength, had already started preparing to flee.
Otherwise, if he encountered Chen Xuan, and was accidentally killed by a single slap, he would have no place to reason.
Escape!
Of the thirty-six stratagems, fleeing was the best.
It was neither shameful nor unsafe.
At this moment, he finally understood why "fleeing" was the supreme stratagem among the thirty-six stratagems!
This was the wisdom of the ancestors of Xia Guo!
Since he was a person of Xia Guo, he must learn traditional culture well, as it was the crystallization of the ancestors' wisdom over many years.
Soon, Yun Zique had packed his luggage. He was too lazy to pack the miscellaneous items, so he slung a bag over his shoulder and prepared to walk out.
*Knock, knock, knock!*
Just as he reached the door, there was a knock.
Yun Zique jumped like a startled bird.
He cursed inwardly, "Which bastard is knocking on the door now..."
Yun Zique was smart. He didn't answer directly but listened quietly. He wanted to see who was knocking!
"Huh? Not here? That shouldn't be right? I just saw him?"
Outside the door, Huang Tiancheng frowned, looking puzzled, but he still knocked hard: "Cousin, are you inside?"
Hearing Huang Tiancheng's voice, Yun Zique was relieved and said, "I'm inside. Tiancheng, what's wrong?"
"Cousin, open the door first, and I'll come in and tell you!"
Huang Tiancheng was impatient.
"I'll open it for you right away..."
Yun Zique frowned, put down his bag, and slowly walked over to open the door.
As soon as he entered, Huang Tiancheng saw a wet patch between Yun Zique's legs and immediately put on an understanding expression.
He said obsequiously, "Cousin, what are you doing? Why aren't you opening the door for so long? You're not doing something indescribable, are you? Cousin, you don't have a partner. I'll take you to a club another day. They have very beautiful girls there."
