Chapter 1523 The Truth Revealed
Chen Xuan nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand. The burly man, relieved, hurried away.
"You see? I didn't harass you, I have witnesses," Chen Xuan said with a faint smile.
Shen Xiaodie opened her mouth, speechless.
Just then, Shen Zhongxun walked over and sat down beside them.
Seeing Shen Zhongxun, Shen Xiaodie quickly said, "Grandpa, this guy harassed me."
Shen Zhongxun frowned, glanced at Chen Xuan, and couldn't help but ask, "Is there some misunderstanding here?"
Upon seeing Shen Zhongxun, Chen Xuan explained the situation.
Shen Xiaodie was stunned after hearing this, but she didn't really believe Chen Xuan's words.
On the contrary, Shen Zhongxun trusted Chen Xuan very much: "Mr. Chen, thank you so much just now. If you hadn't intervened, my granddaughter would have been in great danger."
"Grandpa, how can you believe him? He had ulterior motives towards your granddaughter!" Shen Xiaodie said indignantly.
"Don't talk nonsense. If Mr. Chen truly had ulterior motives towards you, he would have acted long ago. Why would he wait until now?"
Although Shen Zhongxun was old, his mind was as clear as a mirror, and his words hit the nail on the head.
Shen Xiaodie was completely dumbfounded after hearing this.
Grandpa, I'm your granddaughter, or is he your grandson?
Chen Xuan nodded slightly. Dealing with Shen Xiaodie was troublesome enough. If Shen Zhongxun was also unreasonable, he would just give up.
"I'll let you off this time!" Shen Xiaodie gritted her teeth.
"Mr. Chen is already the son-in-law of the Zhuque lineage of the Su family in the capital. If I had met Mr. Chen earlier, I would have married Xiao Die to you," Shen Zhongxun sighed.
Shen Xiaodie's eyes widened at this.
She didn't like Chen Xuan!
But at this moment, Chen Xuan spoke first: "No, I can't bear such a blessing."
"Kid, what do you mean? Do you look down on me? What am I not good enough for you?"
Shen Xiaodie wasn't interested in Chen Xuan, but she felt annoyed at being looked down upon.
"Big sister, aren't I thinking of you? Why are you getting so worked up?"
Chen Xuan spread his hands helplessly.
Time ticked by. Shen Xiaodie dared not fall asleep, constantly glancing at Chen Xuan, looking at him as if he were a thief, afraid that Chen Xuan would have ulterior motives towards her.
Chen Xuan: "..."
Big sister, don't worry, I'm really not interested in you.
Seeing that Chen Xuan wasn't taking the bait, Shen Xiaodie became anxious.
So, she had a sudden idea. She deliberately unbuttoned the first button of her blouse, revealing just enough to be alluring, and then leaned back, feigning sleepiness.
Chen Xuan glanced at her and then looked away.
A glance was polite; not looking was proper conduct.
Besides, he had so many beautiful women around him, each more attractive than Shen Xiaodie. He was almost immune to such things.
"She's still not falling for it?"
Shen Xiaodie was frustrated to see Chen Xuan's indifference.
In the blink of an eye, another hour passed. The long-distance bus pulled into the station. The driver stopped the bus and announced, "Passengers, we have arrived. You may disembark!"
The passengers in the bus gathered their belongings and disembarked one by one.
Chen Xuan, Shen Xiaodie, and Shen Zhongxun also got off.
As soon as they alighted, they saw several police officers inspecting passengers one by one. They were holding photographs, seemingly apprehending fugitives.
"It's them! Arrest them quickly!"
Suddenly, someone spotted the drunken big man and his companions and shouted.
The drunken big man and his companions, seeing that their plot was exposed, prepared to flee. However, they were immediately apprehended by the police who rushed over. With a "click," handcuffs were placed on their wrists.
"You are also Mr. Chen Xuan, aren't you!"
Suddenly, a leading police officer walked over and asked Chen Xuan.
"Indeed," Chen Xuan nodded.
The leading police officer grabbed Chen Xuan's hand and said excitedly, "Excellent! Thank you for reporting them. Otherwise, we wouldn't have caught these indecent assault offenders."
In the past two months, they had received reports of more than a dozen threatening incidents but had failed to catch the offenders. Recently, the daughter of a leader had been threatened, and the authorities were putting immense pressure on them. If they didn't catch the culprits soon, he might lose his captain position.
Chen Xuan said, "You're welcome. It was just a small effort, something every citizen should do."
"What threat offenders? I think you are the biggest indecent offender," Shen Xiaodie said with a pout, not understanding the situation.
The police officer frowned, finding Shen Xiaodie's words very inappropriate. He directly asked Chen Xuan, "Sir, who was threatened? Please record your statement so we can collect evidence."
"It was her! Fortunately, I intervened," Chen Xuan said, looking at Shen Xiaodie.
Shen Xiaodie was also bewildered: "Ah?"
"Miss, please accompany us to the police station to record your statement."
"Mr. Chen, perhaps we shouldn't go to the police station?" Shen Zhongxun frowned, as the urgent matter was to return to the Shen family.
Chen Xuan smiled and said, "Elder Shen, if we ride in a police car, do you think anyone would dare to attack you?"
"That makes sense!!"
Shen Zhongxun's eyes lit up.
Thus, the group went to the police station with the officers.
While recording her statement, Shen Xiaodie saw the surveillance video from the bus. It was then that she discovered the drunken big man had drugged her and intended to assault her. However, Chen Xuan had suddenly intervened and stopped the drunken man, even scaring away his companions.
It could be said that if it weren't for Chen Xuan, Shen Xiaodie would have met with misfortune.
Shen Xiaodie walked out of the office with a complex expression and saw Chen Xuan waiting outside. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say, as she was the beloved daughter of the Shen family and had never apologized to anyone in her life.
"Get in the car. I've already discussed it with the police. They're willing to send a police car to take us back," Chen Xuan said with a smile, pointing to a police car parked nearby.
A police officer waved from the car, "We're all family, don't be polite!"
This was all thanks to Chen Xuan helping the police, otherwise, they wouldn't have been offered a ride home.
"Mm..."
Shen Xiaodie nodded and walked towards the car.
Once in the car, Shen Zhongxun asked, "Xiao Die, why aren't you happy? Did they treat you badly?"
"No..."
"Then what's wrong?"
"Nothing!"
Shen Zhongxun didn't ask further.
In about an hour, they would reach the Shen family's residence. Chen Xuan closed his eyes to rest and continue cultivating. Just then, he suddenly felt someone tugging at his clothes. He frowned, opened his eyes, and saw Shen Xiaodie looking at him.
"Is something wrong?"
"You helped me just now, why didn't you say anything?"
"I did, but you didn't listen," Chen Xuan shrugged.
"I'm sorry, it was my fault earlier."
"Stop, there's no need for sentimentality. I helped you without expecting anything in return." After saying that, Chen Xuan closed his eyes.
"Hmph, what's the big deal!"
Shen Xiaodie glared at Chen Xuan's smug expression, feeling annoyed.
Soon, the police car stopped in front of the Shen family villa. The Shen family villa was truly extravagant, looking more like a palace than a residence.
