When Ling Gengqiu returned ho, he was already back, leisurely sitting on the sofa, holding his phone, chatting with those beautiful won.
Seeing Ling Chen co back, Ling Gengqiu said without raising his head, "So soon."
"Big bro, take it easy in the future, stop giving trouble."
"Hey! Who was that woman you t today?" Ling Gengqiu asked with interest, "She’s not only pretty and well-shaped, but also capable. She was originally going to catch , but as soon as I ntioned your na, she stopped imdiately. Tell honestly, do you have an unusual relationship with her?"
Ling Chen said, crying and laughing, "Big bro, can you stop making wild guesses? What unusual relationship could we have? We’re just simple friends."
"Just friends?" Ling Gengqiu asked with a dubious smile, "Don’t tell you have no thoughts when faced with such a beauty. If it weren’t for her relationship with you, I would have made a move long ago."
Ling Chen opened his mouth, about to argue, but at that mont, he heard a series of knocks on the door. Opening the door, he was slightly taken aback upon seeing the person outside, and he asked sowhat unexpectedly, "What brings you here?"
"The company had nothing today, and I happened to be passing by, so I ca to check on you. What? Is it inconvenient? If so, I can leave first."
"No, no, no, it’s not inconvenient at all. Co in!" Saying this, Ling Chen hurriedly welcod Nanrong Wanqing inside. Zhong Wei and Liang Zhao Hui were very tactful; they greeted Ling Chen and then stayed with the car outside, not coming in.
Upon entering the house, Ling Gengqiu raised his head, his gaze imdiately fixed on Nanrong Wanqing, full of amazent and unable to move for a long ti.
Feeling Ling Gengqiu’s gaze, Nanrong Wanqing looked at him twice. She was accustod to such gazes, so she didn’t feel he was being rude.
"Ling Chen, who is this?"
"Oh! I forgot to introduce him, his na is Ling Gengqiu, my distant cousin who has co to East Sea City seeking refuge with ."
Nanrong Wanqing nodded and politely greeted Ling Gengqiu.
Hearing that gentle voice, Ling Gengqiu finally ca to his senses, quickly put down his phone, stood up from the sofa, and walked quickly to Nanrong Wanqing, greeting her with gentlemanly charm, "Lovely Miss, very pleased to et you. You are the most beautiful lady I have ever seen."
Nanrong Wanqing said with a charming smile, "I’m also very pleased to et you."
Ling Chen on the side gave a light cough and said, "Big bro, let introduce you, this is Nanrong Wanqing, my girlfriend." When he said ’girlfriend,’ Ling Chen intentionally emphasized it. He knew very well what kind of person Ling Gengqiu was; if this guy set his sights on Nanrong Wanqing, things would get troubleso, so he had to remind him not to have any ideas.
Ling Gengqiu glanced at Ling Chen, fully understanding his intentions.
"I’ll leave you two to chat, I have things to do and need to head out." Ling Gengqiu, being very tactful, didn’t stay in the room to disturb them, and left on his own.
Ling Chen called out, worried, "Don’t drive out again."
"He’s grown up, can’t you trust him to go out on his own?" Nanrong Wanqing asked with a smile.
Ling Chen shook his head, "You don’t know what he’s like. Whenever he’s let out alone, he’s bound to cause trouble for . Co, sit down, I’ll make you so tea."
"No need, I’ll sit for a bit and then head back. We have guests at ho today."
"Who’s coming?"
"Soone you know, Xiaozhu."
"Xiaozhu?" Ling Chen was surprised. He hadn’t been in touch with Zhu Xiaozhu for so ti, having heard she was in Beijing. He didn’t expect she’d visit the Nanrong Family. Ling Chen was well aware of the past misunderstandings between Nanrong Wanqing and Zhu Xiaozhu, which had caused tension in their relationship. Only recently did they resolve those misunderstandings and beco good friends.
"It’s not just Xiaozhu visiting; her parents are coming too, so I need to go back early to prepare. Regardless, the Zhu Family and our Nanrong Family are old friends, so as they value this relationship, we naturally should reciprocate with hospitality."
Ling Chen chuckled, "The Zhu Family never visited before. Now that the Hongyu Group has beco the top dostic enterprise, they rush to East Sea City. If you ask , they’re also looking to benefit from your success."
"It’s human nature. I had my suspicions when they said they wanted to co. But for my grandfather’s sake, we’ll help wherever we can, as it doesn’t cost us anything." At this point, Nanrong Wanqing changed the subject and asked, "So, are you interested in attending tonight’s dinner party?"
"You want to go?"
"Of course, since you’re my boyfriend, you should attend unless you have other plans?"
"No plans." Ling Chen thought for a mont, then nodded, "Alright, I’ll make sure to be on ti."
"Then it’s settled." With that, Nanrong Wanqing got up and said, "I’ll head back now, see you tonight."
"See you tonight."
Seeing Nanrong Wanqing out the door and watching them leave, Ling Chen turned back into the room and imdiately received a call from Hu Fei.
"Hey! I’ve looked into what you asked. The dical transport vehicle was filled with illegal drugs, mainly stimulants and sedatives, alongside so cellular dications. I checked, and those illegal drugs onboard were allocations for eight hospitals."
"There must be more to those criminals coming to East Sea City to rob the drugs. Unfortunately, they were all caught by Xia Mutong. Check around for , see if you can uncover anything. If the situation isn’t severe, let the police handle it; we don’t need to interfere."
"Alright, no problem." With that, Hu Fei hung up the call directly.
Ling Chen looked at the ti, realizing there were still a few hours before dinner. He called Ling Gengqiu and found out he was on a date, so he didn’t inquire further. As long as Ling Gengqiu wasn’t causing trouble, he could do whatever he wanted.
Knock, knock, knock!
Just then, a knock ca from outside.
Ling Chen wondered, soone else after Nanrong Wanqing? Who could it be?
He went to the door and opened it, only to find the entrance completely empty, with no one there. Seeing this, Ling Chen peeked both ways down the hallway.
Where’s the person?
He was sure he heard knocking just now, there was no mistake. How co there’s no one when I open the door?
Could it be soone playing a prank?
Ling Chen mumbled to himself and casually closed the door. However, at that mont, a strong sense of crisis suddenly hit him from behind.
Oh no!
Ling Chen’s pupils narrowed, and he instinctively shrank his body. Suddenly, with a ’bang,’ the door in front of him was blasted apart, the whole door flew inward and out.
