Lu Daan respectfully pulled out a cigarette and handed it to Xu Xiangbei.
Because he often drove trucks long distances, Lu Daan was as tanned as charcoal, almost like an African man. At first, Xu Xiangbei didn’t recognize him; it was only after hearing Lu Daan speak that he recognized him.
Xu Xiangbei loosened his muscles a bit; this battle had been truly exhausting, consuming a massive amount of Earth Internal Power, leaving him sowhat fatigued.
He smiled and asked, "Lu Daan, what are you doing here?"
Lu Daan lit Xu Xiangbei’s cigarette and laughed frankly, "I was delivering goods to Jiangxin Building and stopped to watch when I saw a fight in the parking lot. That’s when I found out it was you, Dr. Xu. I thought you were outnumbered and was wondering if I should help you, but since you were holding your own, I didn’t step in. Who are these guys to dare fight you? Aren’t they asking for trouble?"
"They’re the Chen Family Five Tigers, ever heard of them?"
Upon hearing Chen Family Five Tigers, Lu Daan’s expression beca serious, his voice filled with indignation: "So they’re Chen Family people. Dr. Xu, you did them right. They’re a notorious bully in the city. My dad was seriously injured by Chen Family people and has been bedridden ever since."
Xu Xiangbei asked doubtfully, "Where is he injured?"
Lu Daan looked gloomy, "Injured his back, lost feeling in his legs. My dad was also a martial artist, more skilled than . The one who hurt him was Chen Beichuan, a top expert of the Chen Family."
Xu Xiangbei puffed a smoke ring and said calmly, "I have so experience with bruises and injuries. If I have ti, I’ll co to your house to check on your father’s condition; I might be able to heal him."
Lu Daan’s eyes brightened with hope, rembering that Xu Xiangbei was a doctor and also a master of Inner Strength, maybe he could really heal his father’s internal injury.
Lu Daan’s ho was in Jiangxin County, a small county under Jiangcheng. They exchanged phone numbers, and Xu Xiangbei planned to visit Lu Daan’s house after taking Gu Xinyan to Earth Sea for an audition.
Looking at the Five Tigers sprawled all over the ground, Lu Daan smiled, "What about these guys?"
A Buick slowly drove into the parking lot, and through the windshield, they could see Chen Tianba’s bald head.
Xu Xiangbei shrugged, "Don’t worry about them, soone will take them to the hospital."
After bidding farewell to Lu Daan, Xu Xiangbei drove out of the parking lot in his Porsche.
As he brushed past the Buick, Xu Xiangbei smiled at Chen Tianba, who paled in fright, quickly rolled down the window, and nodded hurriedly, grinning obsequiously, "Hello Dr. Xu, my boss asked to check out the situation, didn’t expect it to be over so quickly, you’re impressive Dr. Xu."
"Is there a need to check? Hurry and send them to the hospital, my son must be already waiting impatiently."
Chen Tianba knew Xu Xiangbei was referring to his son Chen Ban City, and he didn’t dare offend his boss Chen Ban City or Xu Xiangbei, he could only smile wryly, "Dr. Xu is right, I’ll call an ambulance imdiately."
"You’re working for my son, I don’t mind, but don’t do anything wrong, or I won’t let you off."
"Yes, I’ll definitely heed Dr. Xu’s advice."
"That’s a good boy, goodbye."
Xu Xiangbei stepped on the gas, and the Porsche engine roared deafeningly, leaving the parking lot like lightning.
Upon returning to Spring Villa, Gu Xiangyi’s company had an urgent matter, so she drove to the office. As she left, she instructed Xu Xiangbei to book the plane tickets for her sister to Earth Sea.
While browsing ticket booking websites on the computer, Xu Xiangbei unexpectedly found Ouyang Jiahui smiling at him, her gaze elusive.
Xu Xiangbei looked serious, "Hey, what do you want? I don’t allow you to throw parties like before. You’re staying in my villa, so you have to listen to , or leave."
Ouyang Jiahui smiled mischievously, "I don’t want to throw a party. Actually, Brother Xu, I want you to teach the Dragon Tiger Divine Fist. I want to be like you today, so in case a bad guy tries to harass , I can beat them off with a few punches and kicks."
Xu Xiangbei laughed, realizing Ouyang Jiahui wanted to learn that instead of throwing a party, she indeed had scared him earlier.
He teased, "That’s your family’s traditional martial arts, why ask to teach you? Let your third uncle teach. Besides, with your ridiculous pompadour hairstyle, who would dare harass you?"
Next to them, Gu Xinyan who was reading, laughed out loud.
Seeing Xu Xiangbei refuse her, Ouyang Jiahui pouted unhappily, stomping her foot planning to go back to her room. As she took a step, she quickly ca up with a plan.
Her small eyes rolling, she wrapped herself around Xu Xiangbei’s arm, refusing to let go, "How about we make a deal?"
Xu Xiangbei first eyeing Ouyang Jiahui’s charming figure flirtatiously, then his expression suddenly stern, "No deal, I’m not interested in you, your strange hairstyle puts off."
Smack, Ouyang Jiahui slapped Xu Xiangbei’s shoulder hard, pouting, and complaining, "What are you talking about, making a deal? I ant, I can help you write an article praising soone, so her designed clothes beco trendy, and she becos a future star designer. She’ll shine and succeed, how about it, isn’t my idea great?"
Xu Xiangbei stroked his chin, pretending to ponder.
Ouyang Jiahui is the fashion magazine editor, her critique directly affects apparel designers’ futures. If she truly praises Sun Jiajia, Sun Jiajia’s dream of becoming a famous designer would no longer be a dream, it might soon be a reality.
Xu Xiangbei yawned, "Alright, deal. But I don’t have ti to teach you boxing now, I just had a fight, need to sleep well. I’ll give you a task, help Gu Xinyan and book the tickets to Earth Sea tomorrow morning, and your ticket you’ll sort yourself."
In the battle against Chen Family Five Tigers, even though Xu Xiangbei defeated the Fierce Tiger Five Elent Formation, it consud a massive amount of Inner Strength. He needed to return to his room to ditate and restore his Inner Strength.
Ouyang Jiahui was very happy that Xu Xiangbei was willing to teach her boxing, not minding that the ticket booking matter instructed by Gu Xiangyi was handed to her.
"It’s just going to Earth Sea, I’ll cover the ticket costs, and once we’re there, I’ll show you two country bumpkins a good ti. Let you see what a modern tropolis is."
Xu Xiangbei dismissed it, what a modern tropolis; he still preferred the peaceful and graceful Jiangcheng.
He returned to his room to ditate, practicing the "Ancient Initial Code."
Unintended words, mindful listeners.
Hearing Ouyang Jiahui ntion the tropolis, Gu Xinyan showed a look of yearning.
She had stayed ho all year round, struggled to move, longing for the exciting world outside.
Thinking she’d experience the notoriously flashy Earth Sea tomorrow, her face flushed with excitent.
She smiled and asked Ouyang Jiahui, "Do you live with your dad?"
