Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The call went through.
âHey, whatâs wrong?â
Su Chenâs indifferent voice came from the other end.
Zhou Wanqiu felt uneasy upon hearing his voice.
However, her grandfather was looking right at her. Zhou Wanqiu quickly said, âSu Chen, I want to apologize to you!â
âYou saved me, but I scolded you and hit you! Iâm sorry!â
âI had just woken up. I was too flustered and a little emotional. Iâm sorry!â
Su Chen was stunned when she heard Zhou Wanqiuâs apology.
However, he quickly understood that Guan Qingqing must have told her what happened.
âAlright then! I forgive you!â Su Chen said indifferently.
Zhou Wanqiu pursed her lips.
That didnât sound sincere. He was so nonchalant.
At this moment, Zhou Pingjiang reminded her in a low voice, âAsk him how he saved you from the Black Dragon Gang.â
Zhou Wanqiunodded. âSu Chen, the Black Dragon Gang is so powerful. How did you rescue me?â
âThe Zhongyi Hall, another underground force in Bin Cheng, was attacking the Black Dragon Gang today. I took that opportunity to save you!â Su Chen recited the script he had prepared.
Zhou Wanqiu understood. âSo, it was Zhongyi Hall!â
âWhatâs wrong?â Su Chenâs tone was a little teasing. âAre you disappointed to hear that I didnât kill everyone?â
âNo, Iâm still very grateful to you!â Zhou Wanqiuâs face turned red, and her voice was insincere.
Although she did not quite believe that Su Chen could kill everyone in the Black Dragon Gang to save her, she still felt a little rueful.
She was a woman. Being saved by a knight was a fantasy of hers.
Su Chen had just confirmed that he wasnât her knight in shining armor. He didnât charge into the monsterâs den to save the princess. Instead, he was more like a sneaky thief.
âAlright, Iâm done apologizing! Iâll hang up first!â
Zhou Wanqiu hung up the phone.
Zhou Rongchang glared at her. âThat was your apology? You didnât sound sincere at all!â
âAlright, Dad.â Zhou Pingjiang tried to smooth things over. âYou know what Wanqiu is like. Sheâs proud. This apology is already a big deal for her. Besides, Su Chen has forgiven her.â
Zhou Rongchang didnât say anything else.
âI told you!â Zhou Wanqiu said. âSu Chen didnât save me. He was just lucky enough to come in the middle of the fight between the Black Dragon Gang and Zhongyi Hall!â
âAt the end of the day, heâs just a small village doctor who has some medical knowledge!â
Hearing this, Zhou Rongchangâs anger flared up again.
âSmall doctor?â
âHis grandfather saved me!â
âHe saved your father! Today, he saved you!â
âSu Chen is a great doctor even though heâs from a small village. Heâs so kind. Your attitude on the other hand⦠How could you say that?â
Zhou Wanqiuâs face fell. She realized that she had misspoken again. âIâm sorry, Grandpa. My mistake!â
Zhou Pingjiang was also helpless.
He understood that his daughter might not hate Su Chen, but she was still opposed to the arranged marriage.
Meanwhileâ¦
Su Chen hung up the phone with a helpless expression.
He could tell that Zhou Wanqiuâs apology wasnât sincere.
Moreover, she still didnât like him.
He sighed. âGrandpa! What will being with Zhou Wanqiu do for me? One year? Thatâs too difficult!â
âWhere are you now? Call me back!â
âWhat are these benefits? I donât want to keep doing this!â
Su Chenâs headache was intensifying. Then, his phone rang again.
âSaviorâ¦â
Qin Yaoyaoâs unique voice rang out.
âHave you solved your Black Dragon Gang problem?â
âItâs been resolved!â Su Chen said. âSorry for troubling you today, Ms. Qin!â
âDonât mention it. I like to do things for you!â Qin Yaoyao breathed.
âAlright, if thereâs nothing else, Iâll hang up first, Ms. Qin!â Su Chen said quickly.
âAlright! Iâll pick you up tomorrow. See you at the usual place!â
Usual place?
Su Chen was stunned for a moment. Then, he realized she probably meant the intersection where she had picked him up today.
âOh right, thereâs one more thing. Itâs very important. Donât forget!â Qin Yaoyao said.
Su Chen was confused. âWhat is it?â
âYou miss me!â Qin Yaoyao smiled. She then made a kissy sound.
Then, she hung up.
Su Chen smiled wryly.
What a vixen!
This Qin Yaoyao seemed to love teasing him.
He had to be careful around her.
If Zhou Wanqiu ran into him, who knew what would happen?
Meanwhileâ¦
Qin Yaoyao hung up the phone as Qin Wentian came over.
âHow did it go? Did he thank you?â
âThank me?â Qin Yaoyao smiled. âMy savior isnât great at manners!â
âDid he mention Chen Zhongyi from Zhongyi Hall?â Qin Wentian asked.
Qin Yaoyao was stunned. âNo! Whatâs wrong?â
âEarlier, I received news that He Zhenlong of the Black Dragon Gang was killed. He died in his manor.â
âThree out of his four generals died too. Only Ah She escaped because she wasnât at the manor!â
âDid Mr. Chen from Zhongyi Hall do it?â Qin Yaoyao asked curiously.
âI heard that Zhongyi Hall has ambushed settlements of the Black Dragon Gang and wiped out all their forces! However, when I called Chen Zhongyi today, he said nothing of this plan.â
âMoreover, Zhongyi Hall just isnât powerful enough to do it so cleanly. Otherwise, they wouldnât have been fighting for so long. So, I suspect that it might be because of⦠Su Chen!â
Qin Wentian analyzed the situation and stated his conclusion!
âSu Chen? Is my savior that powerful?â Qin Yaoyao jumped up excitedly and placed a hand on her chest. âDad, just give Mr. Chen a call and ask him.â
âI will!â
Qin Wentian nodded and directly dialed Chen Zhongyiâs number.
The call went through.
âHello, Qin Wentian!â
On the other side, Chen Zhongyi sounded very excited.
The Black Dragon Gangâs destruction had allowed him to reap many benefits.
Qin Wentian didnât beat around the bush. âChen Zhongyi, tell me the truth. What exactly is going on with the Black Dragon Gang?â
Chen Zhongyi was stunned. He pondered for a moment and said, âI knew it. I knew you wouldnât buy it!â
âAfter all, you were the one who gave me the location of the Black Dragon Gangâs base! Iâll tell you the truth, but donât tell anyone else!â
Immediately after, Chen Zhongyi recounted what he had seen at the Black Dragon Gang manor.
After hanging up the phoneâ¦
Qin Wentian was dumbstruck.
He had no idea that a young man like Su Chen could simply destroy the Black Dragon Gang.
As for Qin Yaoyao, she was so excited that she almost jumped up.
âWow! Heâs so incredible! My savior broke into the Black Dragon Gangâs den alone, killed everyone, and came out with a woman in his arms! Heâs like a prince who slayed an evil dragon to save his princess!â
âI love Su Chen so much! I wish that girl he saved was me!â
Qin Yaoyao was both excited and regretful.
âIt seems like youâre right!â Qin Wentian replied. âIâm glad weâre making Su Chen a VIP at the business cocktail party tomorrow!â
âMoreover, we have to reevaluate him now!â
âHmph, I told you that I have great taste!â Qin Yaoyao said proudly.
âRight! Dad, I want to invite a few more people tomorrow!â
âWho?â Qin Wentian asked.
âThe woman that Su Chen saved!â Qin Yaoyao replied.
âI want to see her with my own eyes. Letâs see if sheâs better than me!â
Qin Wentian smiled. âNo problem! I heard that Su Chen works at Zhou Catering Group. We can invite them as well!â
âIn the future, we have to pay more attention to the Zhou family.â
âAlright!â Qin Yaoyao smiled. âThen Iâll get three invitations and send them over immediately!â
He quickly arranged everything.
At this momentâ¦
A thought flashed across Qin Yaoyaoâs mind.
âHmph! Zhou Wanqiu, tomorrow I will see if youâre worthy of my savior!â
