Chapter 54: Chapter 54: A Chance Encounter (Extra for Vitamin)
Inside a top-tier club, Chen Bainan half-lies on the sofa in a luxurious room, accompanied by two other girls, each with distinctive appearances.
One rests her head on Chen Bainan’s, gently massaging his shoulders with her hands, while the other girl daintily taps his legs.
Chen Bainan closes his eyes but frowns, showing his mood isn’t great, as one of his hands idly moves.
At this moment, the door to the room opens, and a short, chubby man enters, looking somewhat sleazy. He isn’t surprised by the scene, instead taking a seat on the adjacent sofa and pouring himself a glass of red wine.
Chen Bainan stops his hand movement and sits up, waving his hand to let the two girls leave first. After they walk out, he urgently asks, "Fatty, have you investigated?"
The fatty puts down his wine glass, glances at the not-so-good-looking Chen Bainan, and smiles, "Brother Nan, just a small fry from the countryside, with no background, is he worth all this trouble?"
"He’s worth it," Chen Bainan replies in a low voice, the thought of this person repeatedly ruining his plans, especially Bai Bing’s attitude, igniting an unnameable rage within him.
"Alright then, this matter is easy to handle. A new student at Jiangnan University, I’ll find an assassin to blend into his class and take him out without leaving a trace," the fatty says nonchalantly, smiling.
Chen Bainan furrows his brow, sensing the fatty’s lack of concern, and warns, "I’ve not seen through him completely; don’t take it lightly."
"Hahaha, rest assured, I’m always cautious, Fatty. As long as you pay adequately, I guarantee to handle this matter smoothly and properly."
Elsewhere, Lin Xi furrows her brow, looking at Zhang Huacheng’s determined face, seemingly resolute even if she doesn’t agree.
"Alright." Lin Xi, curious as well, agrees since she has nothing else to do.
After Lin Xi gets in the car, Zhang Huacheng sits in the front passenger seat and says to the driver, "Xiaolin, head straight to Elder Yang’s place."
"Okay." Driver Xiaolin quickly nods, seemingly familiar with Zhang Huacheng’s exclusive driver and his destination.
"Lin, my young friend, what brings you nearby?" Zhang Huacheng asks, confused. This residential area has an excellent location; vacant apartments were snatched up a few years ago, and now the demand far exceeds supply.
Zhang Huacheng had previously investigated Lin Xi’s background, just a rural young man who came to Chuzhou City for university, with a very ordinary background.
But the more this is the case, the more Zhang Huacheng suspects Lin Xi’s background isn’t as simple as it seems.
Because if he were an ordinary person, how could he possess the Nine Divine Needles of Heaven-Reversing, a legendary lost needle technique in Huaxia?
"Just have some matters at my girlfriend’s place," Lin Xi casually replies.
"Xiaobing has a house here?" Zhang Huacheng asks in surprise.
But on second thought, it’s understandable. The Bai family lacks everything but money, so having a house here isn’t unusual.
However, Bai Bing also knows he often lives here, and hasn’t visited, next time he sees her, he’ll have to give her a good talking-to.
"Not her, another one." Lin Xi understands Zhang Huacheng’s meaning and explains, "Bai Bing is the big one, this is the little one."
"...." Zhang Huacheng doesn’t react for a moment.
After a while, he’s inexplicably pleased, thinking this secret Lin Xi shared with him is a sign of accepting him as a mentor.
"Xiaobing, Grandpa Zhang feels sorry for you," Zhang Huacheng thinks quietly to himself, not intending to disclose this secret to Bai Bing, fearing the impact on their relationship.
At the same time, he’s more convinced that Lin Xi’s identity is extraordinary; otherwise, why would he dare to look for another woman despite having Bai Bing? Such boldness isn’t common.
For men, having a few lovers outside is quite normal, as long as it doesn’t affect family harmony.
Zhang Huacheng isn’t an old-fashioned person either; if he wasn’t too old, with some functions not keeping up, he would also want to find a few young and pretty girls to have some fun.
"Xiaolin, keep today’s matters to yourself," Zhang Huacheng instructs his driver Xiaolin who is driving.
Driver Xiaolin quickly nods, wishing he hadn’t overheard such gossip.
Because even Zhang Huacheng treats the person with respect, not daring to even glance back, let alone gossip, which would be suicidal.
If Lin Xi could hear their thoughts, he would surely be speechless; he never intended to keep such matters secret.
If they want to gossip, let them; he doesn’t care.
Due to the morning rush hour, Xiaolin drives slowly, only arriving at the destination after an hour.
This is a military compound, with soldiers fully armed and patrolling regularly, truly a three-step post and five-step sentry.
Even the soldiers at the compound’s entrance, who recognized Zhang Huacheng, carefully inspected before allowing their car in.
Inside the military compound is a row of standalone villas, with flower bushes and trees between villas, forming an avenue among the trees.
Zhang Huacheng’s car doesn’t stop but heads toward the compound’s depths along the avenue. It seems his close friend’s identity and status are extremely high.
Eventually, the car stops outside a villa occupying a vast area, far from other villas.
In other words, this villa is guarded by other villas.
Zhang Huacheng and Lin Xi get out of the car, preparing to walk toward the villa’s front door, while Xiaolin stays in the car waiting.
There are four armed soldiers at the villa’s entrance, vigilantly guarding the door.
These four, at a glance, don’t seem different from the soldiers at the compound’s entrance, but Lin Xi just needs one look to sense something’s off.
Each of their expressions is much more intense, and their postures are cunning, able to instantly form a four-man battle formation to joint attack enemies.
Getting slightly closer, based on their aura, Lin Xi assesses the four’s skills. They’re likely no weaker than the hunchbacked old man’s, top-tier special forces.
With four combining in battle formation, they can likely withstand a King of Soldiers, naturally one recently promoted, but terrifyingly powerful nonetheless.
Bear in mind, even in a special forces unit, seeing one King of Soldiers is rare.
"Grandpa Zhang, you’re here." At this moment, a teenage girl walks out of the villa, followed by two handsome young men in their late teens.
The girl wears athletic attire, devoid of makeup, yet her delicate features are impossible to ignore, especially her large, lively black eyes and slightly upturned cute lips.
Although the girl is also in her late teens, her body doesn’t seem fully developed; not very big where it should be, but in Lin Xi’s eyes, she’ll definitely be a trouble-making woman in the future.
