Chapter 551 The Wolf Star Brothers
The second call was a thank-you call from He Qiongshi. She naturally knew that Chen Xuan had helped her in this sudden turn of events and was extremely grateful to him, even jokingly offering to marry him. Chen Xuan just smiled.
"Thank you so much, I don't know how to thank you," He Qiongshi said excitedly.
Yesterday, she had been labeled a promiscuous woman willing to sell herself for money, losing two million followers on Weibo. But today, her name was cleared, her Weibo followers surged by eight million, and she was inundated with endorsement and movie contracts. Shi Menglu's apology to He Qiongshi had undoubtedly propelled He Qiongshi to the peak of popularity and proven her integrity.
"The timing is just right," Chen Xuan said after hanging up He Qiongshi's call. He pondered for a moment and then called Huo Yuhao.
On the phone, Huo Yuhao also shared good news with Chen Xuan, "Mr. Chen, your decision was incredibly wise. The brands that terminated their contracts with He Qiongshi previously have seen their stock prices plummet."
"On the other hand, our Huo's Cosmetics, by standing firmly with He Qiongshi, has received widespread acclaim. The market valuation of Huo's Cosmetics has doubled. I just received news that all our cosmetic products have sold out and there are constant requests for restocking."
Chen Xuan remained unfazed, as everything was within his expectations.
Suddenly, a smile played on his lips, and he said slowly into the phone, "Yuhao, the timing is perfect. It's time to release the limited edition products."
Chen Xuan had also participated in the research and development of the limited edition products, which used some special medicinal ingredients that had excellent effects on preserving youthfulness in women. Unfortunately, due to the rarity of the ingredients, the quantity was limited.
The release time for the limited edition products had not been decided, but now that Huo's Cosmetics was at the peak of popularity, it was the perfect time to launch them.
Once the limited edition products were released, even the advertising costs would be saved.
Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up, and he nodded eagerly, "I understand!"
"Mr. Chen, did you orchestrate this behind the scenes?" Huo Yuhao suddenly took a breath and couldn't help but ask.
Chen Xuan did not answer directly, "You should focus on releasing the limited edition products first."
Although Chen Xuan didn't say anything, Huo Yuhao believed it was definitely related to Chen Xuan and couldn't help but admire him.
Afterward, Chen Xuan had a simple breakfast of leftover fried dough sticks and fresh milk from the morning.
Just as he finished eating, Chen Xuan received a call from Shi Menglu. The person sent by Miss Shi to collect the remaining antidote was already waiting outside the Su family villa.
Chen Xuan hung up the phone, crossed his arms behind his back, and sauntered out.
Outside the Su family villa stood a man in a black suit, wearing black sunglasses. This man was likely Shi Menglu's bodyguard.
"Mr. Chen, I am sent by Miss Shi to collect the antidote," the man in the suit said, stepping forward to state his purpose upon seeing Chen Xuan.
"Here is the antidote," Chen Xuan said, taking a small jade bottle from his pocket and handing it over.
"Thank you!" The man in the suit quickly took it.
As he turned to leave, his foot suddenly twisted, and he stumbled towards Chen Xuan. Chen Xuan quickly steadied the man and chuckled, "Brother, did you skip breakfast? Is your blood sugar low? Remember to eat breakfast."
"Perhaps," the man in the suit said, subtly tucking a strand of Chen Xuan's hair into his pocket.
After speaking, the man in the suit turned to leave somewhat flustered, but Chen Xuan stopped him.
"Mr. Chen, is there anything else?" the man in the suit asked, forcing a smile.
At this moment, Chen Xuan pointed to a Volkswagen car parked not far away, "Is that your car?"
While the man in the suit was looking, Chen Xuan's hand moved with incredible speed, swapping the hair from the man's pocket. His speed was even faster than the "Ghost Hand" of Wuqiao acrobatics.
The man in the suit turned back to look at Chen Xuan and shook his head, "Mr. Chen, that's not our car."
"Oh, it's not?" Chen Xuan's gaze lingered on the Volkswagen for a few seconds, and he nodded slightly, "Perhaps I was mistaken. It's alright, you can go now."
"Thank you, Mr. Chen!" The man in the suit quickly got into a Mercedes-Benz and sped away, disappearing in the blink of an eye, leaving only the taillights in the dim red light.
Chen Xuan smiled and muttered, "It seems Shi Menglu is still not content, trying to use my hair for witchcraft. But it's a pity, your methods are too crude. What if you had taken the wrong hair?"
Yesterday, Chen Xuan had heard Su Yunxi's description of the Lai family. He had been cautious and managed to obtain Shi Menglu's hair, which was why he dared to hand over the antidote to Shi Menglu. He hadn't expected this hair to be used so quickly.
Just as Chen Xuan was lost in thought, the Volkswagen parked nearby suddenly roared to life and shot out like a cannonball, heading straight for Chen Xuan! The car's speed was ferocious, with no sign of deceleration. This was no accidental acceleration; it was a deliberate assassination attempt!
Chen Xuan, still thinking about the Lai family, was a bit slow on the uptake and was directly hit by the car!
*Bang!*
A dull thud suddenly echoed as the Volkswagen rammed Chen Xuan directly into the wall, creating a large indentation. The car's hood also deformed, and thick black smoke began to billow out.
"Hahaha, I thought he was some master, turns out he's just a piece of trash! Handled him so easily!" A contemptuous laugh rang out as a burly man, muscles bulging and wearing only a black tank top on a cold winter day, jumped out of the driver's seat of the Volkswagen. He looked like a lunatic from somewhere.
"The 'Male and Female Brutes' are not to be trifled with. Being able to incapacitate them means he's not ordinary. Don't let your guard down," a voice followed as a man in a leather jacket, with a cool expression, stepped out from the passenger seat. He appeared more mature and steady than the muscular man.
"Brother Tianlang, you're being too cautious. The car is already like this; that guy is probably long dead," the muscular man said, chuckling as he looked at the smoking Volkswagen.
Upon hearing this, the cool man also found some logic in it and slightly relaxed his tense nerves.
Suddenly, a faint voice made the cool man and the muscular man freeze.
"So, the Chang Le Chamber of Commerce sent you to kill me?"
Where did that voice come from? The two of them abruptly looked towards the front of the car. What they saw next made their faces change drastically.
Under their shocked gaze, Chen Xuan pushed open the smoking Volkswagen and walked out of the severely damaged wall. Bricks and stones rained down around him. Yet, apart from being covered in dust and having some torn clothes, Chen Xuan was completely unharmed! The car had crashed, creating a hole in the wall, but the person was fine… Was this even human?
The cool man's pupils contracted, and he instinctively took a step back. This guy was too tough to handle!
"I'm asking you a question, didn't you hear me?" Chen Xuan twisted his neck and scanned them with his eyes.
"Damn it, who do you think you are, talking to me like that!" The muscular man's brain hadn't caught up, and he cursed, clenching his fists to attack.
The cool man quickly stopped him. He took a breath and stated truthfully, "I am Tianlang Star, and this is my brother, Dilang Star. We are both assassins from the Killer Hall of the Chang Le Chamber of Commerce. Sir, you incapacitated the Male and Female Brutes yesterday..."
"So, you're here for revenge?" Chen Xuan interjected.
Tianlang Star fell silent. Chen Xuan had guessed half of it correctly; the Chang Le Chamber of Commerce was indeed seeking revenge on Chen Xuan. As for the other half, there was a rule in the Killer Hall of the Chang Le Chamber of Commerce: those who pursued a target must do so until death. Last time, the Male and Female Brutes had failed, which led to the dispatch of the Wolf Star brothers. At first, seeing Chen Xuan get hit by the car, he thought Chen Xuan was quite useless. However, looking at him now, Chen Xuan's strength was extraordinary, so he dared not provoke Chen Xuan easily.
"So, you still want to kill me?" Chen Xuan's eyes narrowed, emitting a cold glint.
"We came specifically to kill you!" Dilang Star's expression turned cold, and he threw a punch towards Chen Xuan's face. The tiger claw on his hand grew larger and larger in Chen Xuan's eyes.
A cold glint flickered!
