Chapter 4 Mr Xiao Mr Xiao, you're back!
- It was acceptable for Liu Feixuan to call Xiao Chen "dear" in words, but it was absolutely impossible for her to share a bed with Xiao Chen, whom she had only known for a few hours.
- Immediately, she gave Xiao Chen a warning look.
- Xiao Chen also knew that he couldn't be too impatient, so he could only shake his head and say, "No, my father still has things to do. You and your mother should go back first."
- Upon hearing this, Liu Mengzhi quickly held onto Xiao Chen's arm tightly, her eyes already misted with tears. "Is Daddy going to leave Mengzhi again?"
- The pitiful look on Liu Mengzhi's face made Xiao Chen's heart ache, almost causing him to give in.
- But he knew very well that if he agreed, Liu Feixuan would definitely be furious.
- So Xiao Chen could only patiently explain, "Daddy will never leave Mengzhi again, just like how Mengzhi wants Daddy. But Daddy also wants to see Grandpa, just like how Mengzhi wants Daddy."
- "Then, Daddy, will you come to see Mengzhi tomorrow?" Liu Mengzhi looked at Xiao Chen with teary eyes.
- "Of course, Daddy will always be with Mengzhi from now on." Xiao Chen gently touched Liu Mengzhi's little head.
- Only then did Liu Mengzhi stop crying and smiled, "Okay, Daddy, you can't break your promise, or else... Mengzhi will ignore Daddy forever."
- "Alright." Xiao Chen agreed, then looked at Liu Feixuan and said softly, "Drive safely."
- He watched them leave, then got into another car not far away. Sitting in the driver's seat was Bai Xiao.
- "Is everything arranged?" Xiao Chen asked, his eyes flickering with a cold light.
- Fang Hai dared to frame Liu Feixuan, and he couldn't bear the consequences.
- "It's all arranged." Bai Xiao nodded and stepped on the gas, speeding away.
- ...
- "Fang Hai, someone wants to see you." In the detention center, a police officer brought Fang Hai out.
- "Someone wants to see me? Is it my father? It must be my father, that's great!" Fang Hai was overjoyed and quickly followed the police officer towards a nearby place.
- Soon, several figures appeared in his line of sight.
- One of them, a middle-aged man with half-white hair, was his father, Fang Mingde.
- "Dad, you finally came to save me, that's great!" Fang Hai hurriedly quickened his pace to greet him.
- Before Fang Mingde could speak, the police officer respectfully said to Xiao Chen, who was standing aside, "Mr. Xiao, the person has been brought here."
- Xiao Chen nodded slightly.
- Fang Hai then noticed Xiao Chen standing beside him.
- "It's you!" His eyes were filled with resentment.
- "It's me." Xiao Chen nodded slightly, "Provoking Feixuan, you can't bear the consequences."
- "Consequences?" Fang Hai sneered disdainfully, "My father is here now, the one who can't bear the consequences is probably you!"
- "Dad, kill him for me, I want to kill him and his whole family!"
- He looked confident.
- The Fang family in Linzhou, although not a top-tier wealthy family, was definitely a prominent family.
- Xiao Chen's dream of overthrowing him was simply wishful thinking.
- "Is that so?" Xiao Chen couldn't be bothered to argue with Fang Hai. His gaze swept over to Fang Mingde, "Fang Mingde, I want your son's life, do you have any objections?"
- "If not, he dies. If so, you all die together. How do you feel about that?"
- Fang Mingde trembled and quickly lowered his head, "No... no objections!"
- "What?" Upon hearing Fang Mingde's words, Fang Hai was stunned.
- Fang Mingde actually... planned to abandon him?
- "Very well." Xiao Chen nodded slightly, then calmly said, "Take action."
- With that, Xiao Chen turned around and walked away.
- Bai Xiao agreed and suddenly a dagger appeared in her hand, instantly appearing beside Fang Hai.
- "No... Dad, save me, save..." Fang Hai screamed in terror.
- But soon, his voice abruptly stopped.
- ...
- "Go to the Li family." After Bai Xiao got back into the car, Xiao Chen directly instructed.
- Since he had already seen Liu Feixuan and Liu Mengzhi after returning, it was time to go back and see his foster parents.
- Xiao Chen was adopted by Li He from the orphanage when he was very young. For more than ten years, they treated him like their own son. Even after their daughter, Li Xue, was born, their attitude towards Xiao Chen never changed.
- In Xiao Chen's eyes, they were no different from his biological parents.
- When they arrived at the entrance of the residential area, Xiao Chen got out of the car.
- He specifically instructed Bai You to park the car far away to avoid being seen by anyone with ill intentions.
- Just then, he heard an exclamation.
- "Xiao Chen, you're back!"
- Xiao Chen looked up and saw a beautiful young woman in her twenties standing not far away, looking at him with surprise on her face.
- Beside her was a young man in a suit.
- "Xiao Xue." Xiao Chen smiled and nodded.
- Li Xue was his foster father's biological daughter. She used to always follow him around when they were young, like childhood sweethearts.
- After six years of not seeing each other, she had grown into such a beautiful young lady.
- But Xiao Chen didn't exchange pleasantries with Li Xue and said directly, "Where are Mom and Dad? It's been so long since I've seen them, I should apologize."
- "Oh, they're at home." Seeing that Xiao Chen didn't react to her being with another man, Li Xue felt a bit uncomfortable.
- The young man naturally noticed the change in Li Xue and stepped forward, putting his arm around her shoulder. "You must be Xiao Xue's brother, right? I'm Jiang Chen, Xiao Xue's boyfriend."
- "Uh, hello." Xiao Chen nodded.
- The young man squinted his eyes slightly and then said to Li Xue, "You go park the car first. I have something to discuss with your future brother-in-law."
- Li Xue felt awkward being caught between the two men and didn't know what else to say. She nodded and went to park the car.
- At this moment, Jiang Chen looked at Xiao Chen with a smirk, "Xiao Chen, right? I heard that my father-in-law wanted to match you with Xiao Xue back then."
- "You came back this time for Li Xue, right? But one should know their own limitations. You, a poor soldier, don't overestimate yourself! Li Xue is not someone a loser like you can covet."
- But as soon as he finished speaking, there was suddenly a commotion around them.
- A large number of soldiers rushed into the entrance of the residential area, forming two long lines.
- Pedestrians around them stepped aside and started discussing who could have such a grand lineup.
- At the same time, a group of people quickly walked over.
- Some were in suits, some were in military uniforms.
- Without exception, they were all influential figures in Linzhou.
- At this moment, they quickly walked up to Xiao Chen and respectfully bowed, "Mr. Xiao, if it weren't for today's news event, we wouldn't have known that you had arrived in Linzhou!"
- "We apologize for not welcoming you from afar upon learning that Mr. Xiao has come to Linzhou."
- In an instant, Jiang Chen was stunned, filled with shock.
