Luo Chen shook his head, then handed over a tissue and signalled Wang Fei to wipe the blood from his face.
People had arrived!
……
In a large office on the second floor of the bar, Luo Chen leaned back on the sofa with his head raised. A cup of tea sat in front of him.
As for Brother Wolf?
At this moment he was curled up on the ground like a dog, with blood all over his body.
He had called Brother Dao over!
Brother Dao rushed over urgently with more than a hundred men. The moment he saw it was Luo Chen, he nearly had his courage scared out of him. He went up and slashed Brother Wolf with a knife right away.
Last time when they offended Luo Chen, Hong Biao personally came to apologise and spent five million to settle the matter. How had they offended Luo Chen again this time?
Meanwhile Wang Fei had still not reacted. How had Luo Chen not only learned to fight now, but also become connected with the big shots of Tongzhou?
“Oh dear, the flood has washed over the Dragon King’s temple. Look, Master Luo, this is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding.” Hong Biao had also come in person and started apologising immediately.
In his heart however he wished he could kill that Brother Wolf right away. Who could he not offend? Damn it, he had actually offended Luo Chen again.
“My classmate owes him two million. Now I will repay him and we will be even.” Luo Chen took out a bank card with an expressionless face.
“Oh no, Master Luo, you must not do that, you must not. What debt or no debt? We are all one family.” Hong Biao did not dare to let Luo Chen pay the money. If he accepted it, that could cost him his life.
“Fei Zi, what do you say about this matter?” Luo Chen turned his head to look at Wang Fei. After all this was still Wang Fei’s own business. Luo Chen could only help. As for how to resolve it, it still depended on Wang Fei himself.
Only now did Wang Fei react. He had never met Hong Biao but had definitely heard of him. Now seeing that even a Tongzhou big shot like Hong Biao had to address Luo Chen as Master Luo, Wang Fei was completely stunned. Huge waves rose in his heart.
It had only been one year since they last met. Yet Luo Chen had already reached this level?
Looking at himself, the gap seemed far too big.
Wang Fei was also quite a hot blooded person. He stepped forward, picked up a knife and slashed Brother Wolf across the face. With that the matter was considered settled.
Hong Biao had originally offered to treat Luo Chen to a late night snack, but Luo Chen politely declined. Instead he drove Wang Fei home.
“Fei Zi, does your family not live in the Yanyu Tower estate?” Following the route Wang Fei pointed out, Luo Chen drove straight to the suburbs.
“That was before.” Wang Fei gave a bitter smile, looking extremely down and out.
“What exactly happened?” Luo Chen asked.
“My mum got cancer and my dad has already passed away.” Wang Fei’s tears suddenly burst out.
“After university graduation I originally planned to go abroad for further studies. At that time a woman appeared.”
“I do not know how I became so obsessed back then. In order to be with her I even sold my family home. My dad was so angry that he eventually passed away. Then I was abandoned. To treat my mum’s illness I borrowed from loan sharks.” Wang Fei’s tears flowed freely as he explained the matter in just a few sentences. Yet those few sentences were filled with bitterness.
Luo Chen’s heart suddenly trembled. Wang Fei’s experience was so similar to his own in his previous life.
“After that I have been working in the bar for the past six months. You already know what happened next.”
“Fei Zi, I have a project on hand. Are you interested in coming to help me?” Luo Chen spoke directly and stated his purpose.
“What project?”
“Panlong Bay now belongs to me. Did you not study design and architecture? It is currently a stalled project so I want your help.” Luo Chen indeed needed Wang Fei’s assistance.
“Alright. When I get back I will help you find people through my circle of friends.” Wang Fei only knew design and planning. For actual construction work he still needed to hire engineering teams.
Wang Fei could not help but feel shocked again. Panlong Bay actually belonged to Luo Chen now?
Just how far had Luo Chen risen?
“By the way, there are five million in this card. Try sending Aunty abroad for treatment. If it is not enough just tell me.” As Wang Fei was getting out of the car, Luo Chen handed him a card.
Wang Fei froze for a long time and did not dare to accept it.
“Come on, do not be polite with me. Just treat it as your salary.”
In the end Wang Fei still accepted the money because this sum could truly save his mother’s life.
“Luo Chen, from now on my life belongs to you. Whether climbing a mountain of blades or descending into a sea of fire, just say the word. If I frown even once, let me be struck by lightning!”
It was only after Luo Chen’s car had driven far away that Wang Fei turned around and secretly swore to himself that he would definitely repay Luo Chen.
On the way back, Luo Chen’s phone suddenly rang. It was Ye Shuangshuang calling.
As soon as the call connected, Ye Shuangshuang’s anxious voice came through from the other side.
“Teacher, where are you? My grandfather has had an accident.”
Ye Zhengtian had an accident?
In fact when Ye Zhengtian was young he could be said to have been a prominent figure. He had rendered meritorious service to the country. Even now that he had retired, no one dared to act rashly against him.
After all the old man’s connections were still there. Otherwise how could the Ye family dominate Tongzhou?
However when Luo Chen arrived at the Ye family’s mansion, many people had already gathered. In the middle of the night the Ye family’s reception hall was packed full of people and brightly lit. There were important figures from all walks of life, and every one of them had quite high status. One could see just how extensive the old man’s network usually was.
Ye Shuangshuang had already been waiting there. The moment she saw Luo Chen she immediately led him through another entrance into a bedroom.
Ye Zhengtian was lying in bed at that moment with a dedicated private doctor treating him. His life was not in danger. However judging from Ye Zhengtian’s pale face, he had actually been seriously injured.
“Grandfather, the teacher is here.” Ye Shuangshuang looked at Ye Zhengtian with an anxious face.
“Nonsense. It is just a small matter. Why did you disturb Mister Luo?” After saying this Ye Zhengtian suddenly coughed several times.
Blood immediately flowed from the corner of his mouth again.
“The old man has injured his internal organs. He must have surgery.” The private doctor suggested.
“No. Grandfather is advanced in age. We cannot take such a risk.” Ye Shuangshuang objected from the side.
“Except for Shuangshuang, the rest of you leave first.” Luo Chen instructed with a grave expression.
The doctor was about to speak up and scold him, but seeing that Ye Shuangshuang had already put on a stern face to chase people away, he had to give up.
“Does the house have silver needles?” Luo Chen asked. With his ability to see through things he could naturally tell that Ye Zhengtian had suffered serious internal injuries to his lungs and organs. A large part of his chest had obviously caved in, exactly matching a palm print.
Ye Shuangshuang quickly brought over a box of silver needles. Luo Chen first cleared Ye Zhengtian’s qi and blood using a certain technique. Then he helped Ye Zhengtian sit up and patted his back dozens of times with his palm at varying speeds.
“Wa.” Ye Zhengtian spat out a mouthful of black blood and immediately felt much more comfortable.
“Thank you, Mister Luo.” Ye Zhengtian opened his eyes.
“It is no longer serious. He only needs to recuperate for some time.”
Luo Chen washed his hands. While using the silver needles earlier to clear Ye Zhengtian’s qi and blood, he had secretly infused a trace of purple qi into the needles. Although this trace of purple qi seemed very small, it could nourish Ye Zhengtian’s lungs and internal organs.
“What exactly happened?”
Luo Chen was very puzzled. After all given Ye Zhengtian’s status in Tongzhou, truly no one dared to attack him. Moreover although Ye Zhengtian was not in Luo Chen’s eyes, his martial skills were not bad. How could he have been injured so severely?
