Chapter 35

On the way back to Longjing Garden, Yang Chen tried to say a few words to Lin Ruoxi, but she drove with a cold expression, completely ignoring anything Yang Chen said, as if he didn't exist at all.

Faced with Lin Ruoxi, who had once again become like a goddess of the snowy mountain, Yang Chen could only rest in the car with a half-closed, relaxed look. In fact, Yang Chen was well aware that some of his words in the Blue Bay Hotel had already hurt his sensitive wife. Although he didn't say anything at the time to exclude Xu Zhihong, now that the act was over, her dissatisfaction with him had burst out.

All the way back to the villa entrance, Lin Ruoxi finally said coldly, "Get out of the car."

"Are you not going back?" Yang Chen asked curiously.

"I have something to do. Get out and go back first."

"Oh..." Yang Chen gave Lin Ruoxi a meaningful look and said with a smile, "So, even President Lin needs nightlife. You should have said so earlier, hahaha, I'm very generous and won't be jealous."

Although she didn't think it was necessary to explain to this scoundrel, Lin Ruoxi felt that if he started to imagine things, it would be too unfair to her. So she frowned and replied, "I have something to do, but it's not what you think."

Yang Chen had a "I know what you mean" expression and slowly got out of the car, waving to Lin Ruoxi and saying, "Have a good time."

Lin Ruoxi didn't bother to respond and quickly drove away from the villa.

Watching the taillights disappear, Yang Chen showed a thoughtful expression. He naturally didn't think that a woman like Lin Ruoxi would easily go to a nightclub. When he met her in a bar before, it was probably one of the few times she had ever been to a bar. But so late at night, where could she be going?

After returning to his room, Aunt Wang carefully brought in a plate of sliced watermelon. She was quite considerate of this "fake" son-in-law, probably out of love for the family.

After taking a cold shower, Yang Chen planned to have a good night's sleep, but his phone rang at that moment...

Yang Chen didn't know many people. After getting the phone from Lin Ruoxi, the only people who knew his number were Lin Ruoxi, Aunt Wang, and the family of Qiang Wei and Old Li, whom Yang Chen had specially told.

Sure enough, looking at the phone number, it was Li Jingjing who called.

Thinking of that gentle, shy girl who always quietly contributed, Yang Chen felt a warm current in his heart. He picked up the phone and softly called, "Jingjing."

"Big Brother Yang..." Li Jingjing's voice on the other end was a bit shaky, as if it was hard for her to speak.

"I'm here. What's wrong?"

"Did... Did I wake you up?" Li Jingjing asked nervously.

Yang Chen couldn't help but laugh, "Yes, I was just dreaming about you, and then you called."

There was a moment of silence on the other end, and then Li Jingjing laughed, "Big Brother Yang, you really know how to joke. Be careful, or Big Sister might hear."

Hearing Li Jingjing's genuine laughter, Yang Chen felt a bit more relaxed. He was afraid that Li Jingjing would be too upset and become depressed, but it seemed that although she was a bit sad, she was very strong.

"Hehe, there's nothing to be afraid of. But you, calling so late, must have something important to say..."

Li Jingjing was silent for a long time before she softly said, "Big Brother Yang... I... I'm scared..."

"Scared? Scared of what?" Yang Chen asked in doubt.

"It's Chen Feng. He came to our house today and said he wants me to be his girlfriend. If I don't agree, he'll tear down my father's stall." By the end of her words, Li Jingjing was almost sobbing, having already cried before, so her voice was slightly trembling.

Yang Chen's eyes narrowed into a line, and his voice became low, "Jingjing, tell me clearly what happened, from beginning to end."

Li Jingjing seemed to sense the change in Yang Chen and calmed down a bit, telling the story in a broken manner.

The incident started two days ago in the morning when Li Jingjing accompanied Old Li to the market. Old Li had a stall, while Li Jingjing was buying groceries. In the past, Li Jingjing was either studying at university or interning elsewhere, so this was the first time she had truly returned to Zhonghai. When Li Jingjing appeared in the market and was introduced by Old Li, many people saw her for the first time.

Coincidentally, the idle Chen Feng brought a few hooligans to cause trouble. Seeing Li Jingjing's beautiful and pure appearance, he immediately decided to make her his girlfriend. Chen Feng was cunning and didn't directly confront Li Jingjing. Instead, he said that if she didn't agree, Old Li's stall would have to close, and their family would have no good days in the west district.

The Li family, being ordinary people, didn't dare to provoke Chen Feng. After all, his father, Chen Dehai, was a powerful figure in both the black and white markets, a senior member of the West Alliance.

As a result, Old Li's stall hadn't been able to open for the past two days, and Li Jingjing was even being monitored at school. When she returned home, Chen Feng came to urge her to make a decision quickly.

The Li family was terrified, knowing that sending their only precious daughter to the Chen family would be disastrous. But their relatives and friends, hearing that they had offended the Chen family of the West Alliance, didn't dare to help. As for reporting to the police, the Li family didn't dare to do that either, as it would clearly mean opposing the Chen family.

After listening to Li Jingjing, Yang Chen felt a fire burning inside him. He had originally planned to deal with the West District's underworld in a few days and take care of the Chen Dehai family at the same time, but now it seemed he would have to act first and start with the Chen family.

"Jingjing, don't cry. We'll solve this. Trust Big Brother Yang." Yang Chen consoled her.

Li Jingjing was still sobbing a bit. For a young girl from an ordinary family, there was nothing she could do but cry. If she hadn't been at her wit's end, Li Jingjing wouldn't have called Yang Chen for help. Although she knew Yang Chen was skilled, she wasn't sure if he could solve her problem.

"Big Brother Yang, please don't do anything foolish. I heard that the Chen family has many guns!" Li Jingjing suddenly remembered something and urgently reminded him.

"Hehe, don't worry. I'll be at Zhonghai No. 1 High School to see you teach in a few days. You'll see if I'm missing any limbs then." Yang Chen laughed. "It's late, Jingjing. Go to sleep. I'll take care of this for you. Don't tell your parents. It will all be over by tomorrow."

"Really?" Li Jingjing was a bit surprised.

"Has Big Brother Yang ever lied to you?"

"Then... be careful, Big Brother Yang." Li Jingjing, though not knowing what Yang Chen would do, still whispered a reminder.

After hanging up with Li Jingjing, Yang Chen thought for a moment and then dialed another number on his phone.

A lazy, seductive female voice came from the other end, "Honey... why did you suddenly call me at night..." The one who could use such a seductive voice to call "honey" was naturally the enchanting Qiang Wei.

Yang Chen took a deep breath, thinking of Qiang Wei's soft, plump, and elastic body, and wanted to fly to her immediately to release his tension. But thinking of Li Jingjing's helpless voice, he put aside those thoughts and said straightforwardly, "I need Chen Dehai's information and his home address, the more detailed, the better."

To deal with Chen Dehai, it was best to get information from his enemies. As the president of the Red Thorn Society, Qiang Wei, who was the archenemy of the West Alliance, was the most familiar with Chen Dehai.

Qiang Wei was a woman who knew how to make men feel comfortable. When she heard Yang Chen's serious tone, she didn't ask why but simply said after a brief pause, "Okay, I'll send it to your email right away."

Yang Chen smiled in satisfaction, "Qiang Wei, my little darling, you're so considerate. Wait for me tonight. I'll come to you after I finish my business."

"Deal, no backing out," Qiang Wei laughed happily, not asking about the danger of what Yang Chen was going to do, as if she was already certain that the Chen family was sentenced to death!
