“Oh my god! That woman must be some kind of monster… She is more powerful than Master Dongtiao…”
“This is really terrifying! She should be under the age of twenty!
“This is not right! The most powerful elite in China that is under thirty years old should be Liu Chunyi from the Xuanjian Faction! Could it be that woman is more powerful than Liu Chunyi?”
“This is unreal… How is this even possible?”
…..
The ninjas from the Octadic Spectral Squad were deeply terrified. None of them would admit that this was real if Dongfang Wugui’s hand was not bleeding. In their eyes, what they just witnessed was more unbelievable than dreaming!
“I have told you guys earlier, China is filled with all kind of elites!” Dongtiao Wugui sighed.
“However, that woman over there might not stronger than Liu Chunyi! After all, Liu Chunyi possesses the third most powerful sword in China, Dragon Void!”
“What should we do now?” asked the members of Octadic Spectral Squad.
“It is such a coincidence for the woman to appear in front of us! I’m afraid she is connected to Chen Xiaobei. Let’s retreat first! We shall look for another opportunity to capture Chen Xiaobei!”
Dongtiao Wugui could not help but say.
“But, we have promised the higher authorities that we will complete the task no matter what!”
The members of Octadic Spectral Squad were filled with worry.
“Military order is not a living being but we are still alive and kicking! Think! We are no different from corpses if we insist on capturing Chen Xiaobei while that woman stands in front of us!”
Dongtiao Wugui’s face turned dark and he ordered, “Retreat!”
…..
Inside the private room of the restaurant.
Chen Xiaobei had no idea about the incident that just happened in the parking lot. After listening to Lan Mengchen talking about starting a business with Madam Diana, Chen Xiaobei felt really excited.
“What a coincidence! Two days ago, Madam Diana invited me to be part of a project. She mentioned buying a land to build a factory. I guess we are pretty much on the same project!”
“Is that so? How did you know Madam Diana?”
Lan Mengchen was surprised.
“It’s a long story. Shall we change to a different location to talk about it?”
Chen Xiaobei then put on an evil smile and continued to say, “And, we can continue with our unfinished business! Hehehe…”
“Can you not talk about the thing that happened on that night? It was an impulsive move…I now feel regretful about it!”
Lan Mengchen was stunned when Chen Xiaobei brought up the embarrassing incident that happened on that night. Immediately, her face turned red.
“Regretful? How can that be? You were the one that took the initiative to get close to me. You have to take responsibility!”
Chen Xiaobei stood up and walked towards her with a smile on his face. With one hand on the chair and the other hand on Lan Mengchen’s chin, Chen Xiaobei said, “Mengchen, you are so adorable!”
Looking at the former ice-cold goddess, Lan Mengchen was as shy as a soon-to-be-wife now. Chen Xiaobei smiled and a passionate kiss was planted on Lan Mengchen’s lips. Immediately, her body became stiff. There were butterflies in her stomach but she did not plan to push Chen Xiaobei away. Deep inside her heart, she had already accepted Chen Xiaobei. Her reserved personality was the only thing that held her back. Since Chen Xiaobei took the initiative to make out with her, Lan Mengchen just went along with it. After all, she was going to become his wife in the future.
*Boom!*
Suddenly, something hit the door of the private room.
“What is that noise?”
Lan Mengchen was startled.
“Let me go and check it out!”
Chen Xiaobei frowned slightly and went over to examine the sound. Upon opening the door, a man in a black suit fell into the room. It seemed like he passed out.
“What is going on?”
Instinctively, Chen Xiaobei looked at both sides of the hallway. He saw a white silhouette but it disappeared right at the turning point of the hallway.
“Xiaobei! Bring him in! Quick!”
Lan Mengchen was getting really nervous. Thus, she hastened Chen Xiaobei. He could sense that something wrong was going on. Immediately, he dragged the man into the room and locked the door.
“You know him?”
“Yes… He is a high-ranked security guard of the Zhuang Family!”
A worried look surfaced on Lan Mengchen’s face. Her voice shook.
“I think I just walked into a trap… That old hag was trying to trick me…”
“What old hag? What the hell is going on?”
“The old hag from the Zhuang Family! I thought she gave me the freedom to start a business of my own to make sure I look capable to others! I never expect that she was using me all the while to lure you out here!” Lan Mengchen said in a nervous manner.
“That being said, that old hag is treating you as bait! Is she planning to bring both of us down in one goal?”
Chen Xiaobei was really smart. Soon, he figured out the whole thing by himself.
“I think this is just her initial suspicion. She does not have any other solid evidence! If not, the Zhuang Family will definitely imprison me and use me to threaten you!”
“Don’t you worry! This bodyguard is the only person in this world knows about us! Let me just make him disappear from this world!”
Chen Xiaobei said in a cold and merciless manner.
“No! That old hag from the Zhuang Family is really smart! She will not let me off the hook easily if she finds out that something bad had happened to this bodyguard. By that time, my family will be dragged down by me as well!”
Lan Mengchen quickly shook her head.
“Don’t be afraid. Don’t be afraid. I’m here for you! I can make him forget everything that he saw today! I will make sure he returns to Zhuang Mansion safely!”
“How… How is this even possible?”
Bewildered, Lan Mengchen found it hard to believe the thing that Chen Xiaobei just mentioned to her.
“Just trust me! Everything is going to be okay! You should leave first. I will deal with this mess!”
Chen Xiaobei was calm as usual. He gave a clear-cut order to Lan Mengchen.
“I think we shouldn’t contact each other for now. Let’s wait for Madam Diana to kick-start the project first. Then, we can meet each other as business partners. By then, no one will suspect us!”
“Okay. Please be careful…”
Lan Mengchen had no other choice but to put her trust in Chen Xiaobei. Promptly, she grabbed her stuff and left the place. Right after that, Chen Xiaobei took out the Mengpo Soup from his treasure chest. Dipping his finger into the bowl of Mengpo Soup to measure half a drop, he dripped it into the mouth of the bodyguard to make him forget about everything that he saw today.
“From the looks of it, it seems like he doesn’t have any illness. I’m pretty sure he was knocked out by someone…”
Chen Xiaobei did not rush to leave the place. After giving this incident some serious thoughts. Feeling perplexed, Chen Xiaobei thought, ‘Who the hell knocked him out? Could the person be my friend? Why did the person leave in a rush after he/she did me a great favor?”
Needless to say, Chen Xiaobei and Lan Mengchen would have been shot to death if the person did not knock him out. In other words, this person just saved Chen Xiaobei and Lan Mengchen and even the whole Lan Organization!
“That’s right! I saw a white silhouette earlier! Could… Could… Could it be Ms. Goddess?”
Chen Xiaobei’s eyes brightened. Immediately, he rushed to the hallway to chase after her but she was nowhere to be found. There was nothing he could do but to return to the private room. He had to move the security guard to somewhere else to prevent being seen by the service crew. However, he did not notice that a pair of exquisite melancholic eyes were looking at him.
