Chapter 1498 The Ge Family's Conspiracy
“Hey, hey, watch your eyes, this is my brother-in-law,” Wei Linlin stated, puffing out her chest.
“We just admire masters.”
Zhang Xiaopang chuckled, “It’s fine for me, a guy, right? Master brother-in-law, hello, my name is Zhang Xiaohu, they all call me Zhang Xiaopang, you can just call me Xiaopang.”
“Hello, my name is Chen Xuan,” Chen Xuan replied.
“Master brother-in-law, I wonder if you could teach me a few moves? Otherwise, I can only mingle in the women’s circle,” Zhang Xiaopang said pitifully.
“Are you free now?”
“Thank you, master brother-in-law.” Zhang Xiaopang was incredibly grateful.
Wei Linlin proactively suggested, “It’s noon now, why don’t we find a place to have a meal?”
“Ah?”
They looked at each other, showing expressions of difficulty.
They were all students, and their families didn’t give them much pocket money.
Chen Xuan smiled, “Since it’s our first time meeting, I’ll treat.”
“How can we let master brother-in-law treat?”
“Why are you being so polite with me? You are Linlin’s friends, so you are my friends. It’s just a meal, it’s nothing.”
Chen Xuan primarily wanted to build a good relationship with Li Meixue so that she could provide him with some information.
Seeing Chen Xuan’s enthusiasm, they didn’t refuse, and so they went out for a meal together.
Meanwhile, at the Chaoyang District Police Station.
The fat man and the thin man walked out of the police station, their bail posted by a well-known lawyer in a suit.
“Thank you, Lawyer Wen!”
The two looked at the lawyer with immense gratitude.
“What are you thanking me for? I hate perverts like you the most. If you want to thank someone, thank Mr. Ge quickly,” the lawyer said with disdain.
If it weren’t for Mr. Ge’s word, he wouldn’t have bailed them out, and if it got out, it would affect his reputation.
“Yes, yes, yes, we should thank Mr. Ge.”
The two bowed and scraped, not daring to express any displeasure.
Then, they arrived in front of a Mercedes-Benz commercial van.
“Mr. Ge, the matter has been handled,” Lawyer Wen said respectfully.
“Lawyer Wen, thank you for your hard work.”
As the voice spoke, the electric door slowly opened, revealing a robust man in a custom-made suit. This person was none other than the head of the Ge family, Ge Xiong!
“It’s not hard work, not hard work, it’s just a small matter.”
“Here is two hundred thousand, for Lawyer Wen’s hard work.”
Ge Xiong took out a check for two hundred thousand and handed it over.
“Patriarch Ge is too kind, it’s just a small matter…”
Although he said that, Ge Xiong very promptly took the check. No one could say no to money.
“Patriarch Ge, I’ll be leaving now,” the lawyer said, driving off in a sports car.
“Apologies, Patriarch Ge, we didn’t manage to deal with that Li Meixue.” The thin man spoke.
“It’s not our fault, really. We were almost successful, but we didn’t expect someone to suddenly appear. That guy was incredibly strong, otherwise, we wouldn’t have ended up like this.”
At this moment, the fat man was completely sober, without a hint of drunkenness.
It turned out that the thin man and the fat man had been acting all along. They had targeted Li Meixue because they were instructed by the Ge family patriarch, Ge Xiong, to get rid of Li Meixue and make her disappear from this world, thereby reducing the threat to the Ge family in the capital.
However, they hadn’t expected this situation to take an unexpected turn.
Fortunately, Chen Xuan arrived, otherwise, even this last clue might have been lost.
“I know it’s not your fault. Get in the car, I’ll give you a ride back.”
Ge Xiong said calmly.
Seeing that Ge Xiong wasn’t blaming them, the thin man and the fat man were delighted and quickly got into the car, and the electric door closed.
As soon as they sat down, a large hand suddenly reached out from behind and covered the fat man’s mouth. Before the fat man could even struggle, he was rendered unconscious by the drug.
The thin man was startled, “Patriarch Ge, what are you doing?”
“Killing witnesses!”
Ge Xiong said with a cold, expressionless face.
“You…”
Before the thin man could utter his second word, the same hand that had subdued the fat man covered him as well, and he instantly passed out.
“Clean it up.”
Ge Xiong instructed.
“Yes!”
A chilling voice responded from behind.
Only the voice was heard, not the person.
In the back seat sat a shadowy figure, its face completely obscured.
“Have you found out who sabotaged the plan?”
“Haven’t had time to investigate yet.”
“Haven’t had time to investigate? Forget it, don’t investigate. You’ll handle it yourself. Get rid of that little girl. Remember to be quick about it,” Ge Xiong said sternly.
“You want me to handle it?”
His tone carried a hint of surprise.
“Yes! Something happened to Huanghai Group. I suspect someone has followed the clues and found our Ge family in the capital, so we need to eliminate all potential threats as soon as possible.”
“Didn’t Huanghai Group go bankrupt normally?”
“That’s just external news. According to my information, it was a certain force that brought down Huanghai Group. Perhaps they are investigating the Dragon Gate? We must guard against it.”
“Then I’ll take care of Li Meixue later.”
Ge Xiong nodded, gazing out at the scenery, lost in thought.
The capital seemed calm on the surface, but in reality, it was a turbulent undercurrent.
Chen Xuan and Wei Linlin found a place to eat. He almost contacted Huamei and the others who were also dining, and upon inquiring, Chen Xuan learned that Huamei and the others were celebrating their joining Xuan Yun Group with a meal, during which he felt uneasy.
“Brother-in-law, why aren’t you eating? You look so tense?”
Wei Linlin noticed Chen Xuan’s unusual demeanor.
“I’m fine.”
“Brother-in-law, don’t worry, I definitely won’t tell Yunxi sister that you’re eating out.”
“What’s there to not tell Yunxi? It’s like I’m secretly eating out. Do you think your brother-in-law is that kind of person?” Chen Xuan rolled his eyes.
“He doesn’t seem like it,” Wei Linlin chuckled.
Zhang Xiaopang said, “Master brother-in-law, are you free tomorrow?”
“Doing what?”
“I want to invite master brother-in-law as a guest fighter to participate in our Taekwondo competition.”
“Taekwondo competition? But I don’t know Taekwondo?”
“It’s not really Taekwondo, it’s just a competition between our martial arts clubs. Each club can invite two guest fighters from outside. I think master brother-in-law is very strong. If you participate, you can definitely help our Taekwondo club win the competition.”
Zhang Xiaopang said excitedly.
“Uh…”
Chen Xuan hesitated. Where would he find the time?
“Brother-in-law, let me tell you, whoever wins the final competition will attract many fangirls. Wu Jing and Li Meixue are both fans of Taekwondo,” Wei Linlin urged.
Upon hearing this, Wu Jing and Li Meixue also nodded repeatedly, very much hoping Chen Xuan would participate.
Seeing the situation, Chen Xuan had no choice but to agree, “Okay, then I’ll agree to your request.”
“That’s great! It seems our favorite Taekwondo club finally has a chance to win the championship this time!” The girls were all very happy.
Finally, the meal ended. Zhang Xiaopang and the others all left, leaving only Wei Linlin and Li Meixue.
