Chapter 1545 Heaven's Justice is Unfair!
"Mr. Chen, how dare I offend you? You are truly joking." Young Master Gong chuckled awkwardly.
"Ah?"
Brother Kun was stunned.
What was going on?
Could this guy be some big shot?
The people around also exchanged glances.
"Ah Kun, aren't you going to apologize to Mr. Chen quickly? Let me tell you, this Mr. Chen is a good friend of Young Master Zhang of the Zhang family." Young Master Gong urged.
Brother Kun knew that the Zhang family was the benefactor of the Gong family. If this guy was friends with Zhang Xiaolong, how could he afford to offend him?
"Mr. Chen, I am truly sorry, truly sorry. It's all my fault, I shouldn't have offended you!" he pleaded.
Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes and stared intently at Brother Kun: "It's over just because you shouldn't have offended me?"
"Tell me, tell me, tell me what you want me to do, and I'll do it." Brother Kun begged.
"It's very simple!"
Chen Xuan said: "Return the protection fees you collected to the boss."
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and return the money to the boss!"
For a few hundred dollars, Brother Kun didn't want to offend a big shot.
His subordinate hadn't reacted at first, but upon hearing this, he quickly returned the money he had taken to the boss.
The boss accepted the money with a bewildered expression. He never expected to get his money back today.
"Mr. Chen, is this alright?" Brother Kun asked sheepishly.
"Also, you have to promise not to collect protection fees from today onwards," Chen Xuan said.
"This..."
Brother Kun dared not agree. Protection fees were one of his main sources of income. He glanced at Young Master Gong.
"What are you hesitating for? Of course, you must agree to Mr. Chen!" Young Master Gong yelled.
"Yes, yes, yes..." Brother Kun nodded vigorously: "I promise I will never collect protection fees again."
Applause and cheers erupted from the surroundings, especially from the vendors, whose faces were flushed with excitement.
This was undoubtedly great news for the vendors!
At this moment, in their eyes, Chen Xuan was a hero who had descended from heaven. If he wore red underwear over his pants, he would be Superman!
"Also, this is a friend of mine. Apologize to him immediately."
Chen Xuan looked at Huamei.
Brother Kun dared not say anything else, so he apologized immediately.
"Aren't you going to scram yet!"
"Yes, yes, yes, we're leaving!"
Before Brother Kun could finish speaking, a group of people turned and ran.
"Mr. Chen, then I'll take my leave!" Young Master Gong also hurried away.
"Mr. Chen, thank you for saving me. Can I invite you to lunch today to express my gratitude?" Huamei smiled charmingly.
Upon hearing this, everyone around looked on with envy.
However, they all felt it was justified. They had missed such a good opportunity for a hero to save the damsel. Opportunities were always for those who were prepared.
"No need. It's a small matter, nothing to be grateful for."
Chen Xuan did not want any further interaction with Huamei. If his identity were revealed, it would not be fun.
"That won't do. Mr. Chen, I must express my gratitude, otherwise, I won't be able to sleep at night." Huamei insisted.
Chen Xuan shook his head repeatedly: "Really, there's no need. It's just a small matter."
"A small matter? Heh, could it be that Mr. Chen is afraid of his cover being blown?"
Huamei smiled slightly, her beautiful eyes fixed on Chen Xuan, with a hint of something unusual in them.
This...
This woman was not only beautiful but also too intelligent!
He was indeed worried about his cover being blown, which was why he was unwilling to agree. But he hadn't expected this woman to guess it so quickly.
At this moment, if Chen Xuan refused again, he would seem to have something to hide.
He said: "Cover blown? What cover blown?"
"Nothing. Mr. Chen, can you accept my invitation?"
Huamei blinked her beautiful eyes.
"Since Miss Huamei has invited me, then I will accept." Chen Xuan nodded reluctantly.
The young men around saw Chen Xuan's hesitant expression and really wanted to punch him in the face. You're too good at pretending!
They thought Chen Xuan was showing off, but only Chen Xuan knew that this was precisely a trap.
Fortunately, it was a honey trap.
"Then let's have lunch at the Western restaurant. I'll call you later... Wait, leave your phone number..." Huamei said sternly.
Previously, when Chen Xuan was undercover at Huanghai Group, he used a different phone number, which had been deactivated. He had no choice but to give Huamei his usual phone number.
"My phone number is..."
Chen Xuan gave his phone number to Huamei, and she left with satisfaction.
Although Huamei had experienced danger just now, she had successfully approached Chen Xuan and was able to have lunch with him. For her, this was a great achievement. She believed that as long as she interacted more with Chen Xuan, she would definitely be able to expose him!
Chen Xuan turned and left dejectedly. The people around were gritting their teeth in anger.
Heaven's justice is unfair!!
After finishing breakfast, Chen Xuan walked home. Suddenly, his heart stirred, and he glanced back.
A dark figure flashed into the bushes with a "whoosh."
"Someone is really following me. Could it be what that scruffy Taoist priest was talking about?"
Just now, while they were eating, the scruffy Taoist priest had sensed someone watching them. It seemed he had misunderstood. That wasn't Huamei, but someone else.
He smiled slightly and flashed into a small alley.
"I've been discovered?"
Gu Yulong, standing by the bushes, raised an eyebrow.
Yes, the person following Chen Xuan was Gu Yulong.
Gu Yulong had promised her younger brother, Gu Lingyun, to deal with Chen Xuan. She had prepared to make her move early in the morning, but it was inconvenient to do so in broad daylight, so she had followed Chen Xuan.
However, she was discovered by Chen Xuan so quickly, which she found incredible. After all, with her strength, she was not someone ordinary people could detect.
"It seems this kid is not simple. I need to be more serious."
She concealed her aura, stood up, her graceful eyes fixed, and with her full, shapely long legs, she quickly followed.
"Where is he?"
Entering the alley, Gu Yulong was surprised to find that the person she was tracking had disappeared. She searched for a long time but could not detect any trace of anyone.
Suddenly, Gu Yulong felt a dangerous aura coming from behind her.
She turned abruptly and saw a wooden stick fiercely attacking her.
Logically speaking, with her cultivation level, she could have dodged it. However, the wooden stick was too fast, extremely fast. Moreover, she was in the process of a sneak attack, and it was too late to dodge.
"Bang—"
With a dull thud, the wooden stick hit Gu Yulong hard on the head.
Gu Yulong felt her world spin, her vision blurred, her body went weak, and she collapsed on the ground.
"Why would a beautiful girl like you learn to follow people..."
Looking down at Gu Yulong, Chen Xuan pouted: "Speaking of which, who is this woman? Why is she following me? And her strength seems to be terrifying?"
He looked at Gu Yulong with a head full of questions, completely unaware of why he had offended this woman.
