Chapter 60: That Kid’s Background
639 Words
Watching the alluring curves of the woman’s retreating figure, Chen Xuan touched his nose, feeling a bit frustrated. Damn, could this woman really be interested in him?
Back in his room, Chen Xuan resumed cultivating the Nine-Turn Dragon God Technique. Tonight’s events had made him realize that there was always someone stronger out there. His current strength might seem formidable, but if he ever encountered a true powerhouse, he wouldn’t just fail to protect his mistress—he’d lose his own life as well. He had to keep growing stronger.
As for Liu Rufeng, Chen Xuan wasn’t planning to deal with him just yet. But if he dared to cause trouble again, Chen Xuan wouldn’t hesitate to kill him—for his mistress’s sake!
At the headquarters of the Xiaodao Society in Dongling City…
“President, here’s that kid’s background information.”
Zhao Kui respectfully handed over a folder to Yang Kunpeng. It contained detailed records of Chen Xuan’s past, even digging up trivial incidents—like the time he peeked at a widow bathing in Taiping Village.
Yang Kunpeng flipped through the documents, then clenched his fist. The papers instantly turned to ashes.
“Hmph, useless. You spent three days and only found this much?”
The report contained plenty of details about Chen Xuan’s life, but they were all insignificant. Yang Kunpeng wasn’t interested in trivialities.
Zhao Kui, terrified, dropped to his knees. “President, I’ve already had people investigate multiple times. This kid truly has no significant background. He’s just working as a security guard at Treasure Pavilion, but his relationship with Qin Shuyi seems… unusual.”
“A mere security guard… and Dongling’s number one beauty, Qin Shuyi?”
Yang Kunpeng sneered. “If I remember correctly, tomorrow he should be visiting the Wu family, right? Just a cocky kid who can throw a few punches. And yet, that old bastard Wu Changqing expects me to personally intervene? If it weren’t for Wu Mubai backing him, what does Wu Changqing even count for?”
“President, should we go to the Wu family tomorrow?” Zhao Kui asked cautiously.
“Of course, we’ll go. If the Wu family can’t handle him, then we’ll step in. I want to see just how strong this kid really is.”
As one of the dominant figures in Dongling City’s underworld, Yang Kunpeng wouldn’t stand by while someone challenged his authority.
The next morning
Chen Xuan accompanied Qin Shuyi and Li Weier to the company as usual.
Inside the car, Li Weier was in the back seat, playing on her phone, while Qin Shuyi was driving.
Suddenly, Li Weier gasped in shock. “Shuyi! Something huge just happened in the Jade Gambling scene in Jiangdong! Master Wang Yishan actually lost to an unknown security guard in a stone-betting match! The news is spreading like wildfire in the chat groups!”
Qin Shuyi, stunned, asked, “Wang Yishan is a legend in Jiangdong’s gambling scene. How could he lose to a mere security guard? Who is this person?”
Li Weier shook her head in disbelief. “It doesn’t say—just that it was some security guard.”
Hearing this, Chen Xuan leaned over and said, “That was me.”
Li Weier rolled her eyes at him. “Get lost, brat. You’re just a small-time security guard. That guy actually defeated Wang Yishan. If you were him, I’d wash your underwear for a whole month.”
Qin Shuyi interrupted, “Enough joking around. We need to find out who this security guard is. If we can recruit him into Treasure Pavilion, it’ll give us a huge edge in the jade market.”
Li Weier nodded. “Got it, Shuyi. I’ll look into it right away.”
Chen Xuan sighed helplessly. “Ninth Mistress, that really was me.”
