Chapter 1546 Gu
"See if you have anything on you that proves your identity."
Chen Xuan bent down and fumbled through Gu Yulong's body, suddenly feeling a dagger at her waist. This should be the woman's personal weapon.
The dagger was small and exquisite, but it was not just for show. It was forged from fine steel, capable of slicing through iron and sharp enough to split hair, a truly rare piece of protection.
On the handle of the dagger, the character "Gu" was inscribed.
"Could she be from the Gu family?"
Chen Xuan looked at the dagger, seeming to recall something.
At Zhang Xiaolong's wedding, Chen Xuan had offended Gu Lingyun. Could this woman have been sent by Gu Lingyun to cause trouble for him?
Highly likely!
"See if there's anything else that can prove your identity."
Chen Xuan searched again and found Gu Yulong's wallet. Inside the wallet was a work ID, confirming Gu Yulong was indeed a member of the Gu family, and judging by the ID, her status was not low.
Having confirmed her identity, Chen Xuan's doubts were resolved, but another problem arose: how to deal with Gu Yulong.
If he let someone from the Gu family who came to cause trouble go unpunished, they might think he was easy to bully. But if he didn't let her go, she hadn't actually done anything to him.
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Xuan had an idea. "Got it!"
Having done all he intended, Chen Xuan left with a smile.
A quarter of an hour later, Gu Yulong slowly woke up, rubbing the back of her head. "It hurts so much... What happened just now..."
A moment later, she stood up and only then realized what had happened, gritting her teeth. "Damn it, that guy actually dared to sneak attack me!!"
She looked around, but Chen Xuan was long gone.
"Miss, Miss!"
Suddenly, a shout echoed.
Several guards ran over, panting, their faces filled with worry.
These were guards from the Gu family who had been following Gu Yulong. However, Gu Yulong had shaken them off to teach Chen Xuan a lesson herself. Later, when they couldn't contact Gu Yulong, they rushed to search for her everywhere.
Seeing Gu Yulong, they breathed a sigh of relief. "Miss, it's great that you're alright... Huh? Miss, your face..."
When they saw Gu Yulong's beautiful face, their expressions became extremely strange.
They were first shocked, then tried to suppress their laughter, but it was evident.
"What's wrong with my face?"
Gu Yulong was slightly startled.
She rubbed her face, but it didn't hurt.
At this moment, Gu Yulong suddenly noticed ink stains on her hands. Her face instantly changed, and she quickly took out her phone, opened the camera, and held it in front of her face.
"You scoundrel, I'm going to kill you!!"
Gu Yulong gritted her teeth, and the temperature in the alley suddenly dropped by several degrees.
On Gu Yulong's delicate face, which was as beautiful as jade, a tortoise had been drawn with a black marker, along with a few words: "Today I'm giving you a small punishment. Don't trouble me again, or I will never forgive you."
"Miss, who did this?"
The guards asked in surprise.
After all, Gu Yulong was a formidable martial arts master. For someone to draw a tortoise on her face was simply an unheard-of feat!
"I was sneak attacked and knocked unconscious by that guy."
Although embarrassed, Gu Yulong told the truth.
"So that's what happened."
Upon hearing this, the guards' shock lessened a bit. It was a sneak attack, so it seemed it wasn't some martial arts master.
"How dare they treat our young lady like this? We'll investigate this guy thoroughly and kill his whole family!" The guards said indignantly.
Although Gu Yulong was a prodigy of the Gu family, she was not arrogant and was well-liked.
Now that Gu Yulong had suffered such humiliation, they couldn't stand it.
"No need. I'll deal with him myself!"
Gu Yulong gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "Help me investigate his whereabouts. I'll deal with him myself."
Having suffered such humiliation, if she were to send subordinates to deal with him, wouldn't she become a laughingstock if word got out?
Originally, Gu Yulong didn't have much ill will towards Chen Xuan; she simply wanted to teach Chen Xuan a lesson for her brother, Gu Lingyun. But now it was different. Chen Xuan's actions had angered her.
"Okay, Miss. I'll go investigate that kid's location right now!"
The guards said solemnly.
Gazing at the sky above, a cold glint flashed in Gu Yulong's eyes, and she gritted her teeth with a grinding sound.
At half-past ten, Chen Xuan received a call from Huamei, confirming their plan to eat sirloin steak at a Western restaurant.
On the phone, Huamei's voice was exceptionally cheerful.
This was perhaps the happiest day for her since Chen Yiming's death.
Chen Xuan began to choose clothes. He thought for a moment, recalling the clothes he wore during his time at Huanghai Group. Those clothes were all unsuitable. Fortunately, he had mostly worn uniforms back then, and casual wear not much, so he quickly selected an outfit.
The clothes were very simple, so simple that one might think they weren't fit to be seen in public.
After changing, time was running short, or rather, it was almost past the appointed time.
He hurried into his car and drove to the Western restaurant.
As he drove towards the Western restaurant, Gu Yulong suddenly walked over and said coldly, "You despicable scoundrel, stop right there!"
Seeing Gu Yulong, Chen Xuan frowned. "I'm a despicable scoundrel? You were the one following me!"
"You..."
"What about me? I'm telling you, I already warned you. If you hadn't fainted, I could have done whatever I wanted to you. Don't be ungrateful."
As he spoke, Chen Xuan glanced at Gu Yulong's figure.
It had to be said, the woman had a pretty good figure, definitely the kind for bearing sons.
"You detestable fellow! That's because you sneak attacked me! If you hadn't, how could I have fainted? Considering that, we should have a fair fight!"
Gu Yulong gritted her teeth.
"Sorry, no time!"
With that, Chen Xuan headed straight for Jack's Western Restaurant.
"You... dare to refuse me?"
Gu Yulong sneered. "Wait a moment, and you'll obediently agree to my terms!"
"Mr. Chen, over here!"
As soon as Chen Xuan entered the Western restaurant, a cheerful voice called out.
He turned his head and saw Huamei waving at him.
Huamei was dressed elegantly and elaborately today, with exquisite makeup, looking even more beautiful than she had at Zhang Xiaolong's wedding.
People around looked at Chen Xuan with envious eyes. Countless people had already set their sights on Huamei.
Chen Xuan's arrival meant he was snatching away the beauty in their eyes.
Chen Xuan walked to Huamei's side and smiled faintly. "Miss Hua, I encountered some issues on the way, which caused a delay. I apologize."
"There's no need to apologize. Today, I invited you for a meal," Huamei said with a smile.
Soon, the waiter brought over the desserts, sirloin steak, main courses, and fruits.
Chen Xuan didn't talk much with Huamei, as too much talk could lead to mistakes and perhaps reveal his true identity. So, he buried his head in his food.
For the most part, Huamei did the talking, while Chen Xuan nodded along sporadically. Even Huamei didn't say much.
Often, Huamei would rest her chin on her hands, quietly gazing at Chen Xuan, her eyes dreamy and full of affection.
Whenever Chen Xuan looked up, he was startled back by her gaze.
