"Doctor Lin, you must not underestimate your opponent!"
Seeing Lin Chen's nonchalant demeanor, Shangguan Xiong's tone was one of concern, but his heart finally settled somewhat.
Although he had only known Lin Chen for a short time, he was a shrewd man who had met countless individuals. He knew that despite Lin Chen's apparent arrogance, he must have some trump card!
Perhaps, this time, he could truly rely on him to completely resolve the trouble of Yun Zhonghao!
"Alright, you all continue packing. I'm heading back. Call me immediately if anything happens."
After saying this, Lin Chen stood up and left the Shangguan residence.
It was already evening, and he was really worried about his mother being alone at home.
However, when he returned to the Shanshui Jiayuan, as soon as he entered the gate, he felt a faint killing intent emanating from his surroundings.
But upon closer inspection, Lin Chen realized that this killing intent was not directed at him.
"Huh? Is that you? What are you doing here again? I've told you, I will never like you. If you keep pestering me, I'll call the police!"
However, just as Lin Chen's guard was lowering, a sharp cry came from ahead.
Subconsciously looking up, it was none other than Qiu Hanying, whom he had seen yesterday.
"Miss Qiu, I've also told you, I just live here, I'm not following you."
Seeing Qiu Hanying, Lin Chen was also helpless.
Admittedly, this Qiu Hanying had the figure and the looks; she was indeed a rare beauty. But at present, he truly had no other intentions towards her!
"Is that so? Then tell me, which building do you live in?"
Seeing Lin Chen still quibbling, Qiu Hanying let out a cold laugh.
This was the top of Yunwu Mountain, the most expensive area in the entire Hangcheng. Any villa here cost tens of millions or more.
But this man in front of him? Although his clothes were neat, they were washed and faded. How could he possibly afford a villa in Shanshui Jiayuan?
Moreover, villas in Shanshui Jiayuan were not something that could be bought with just money!
Although she wasn't a particularly famous figure in Hangcheng, she knew everyone who had the right to buy a villa in Shanshui Jiayuan.
But it was clear that this young man in front of her was definitely not among them!
"Look, it's over there."
Upon hearing Qiu Hanying's words, Lin Chen pointed to his house on the mountaintop.
However, when Qiu Hanying saw the direction Lin Chen was pointing, she burst out laughing.
"Puchi...."
"Hahahaha, you have to have some limit when you brag. Do you even know where that is?"
"Let me tell you, that's Shanshui Number One. In the entire Hangcheng, only two people are qualified to live there. One is the Governor of Hangcheng, and the other is the elder of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Xiong."
"So, tell me, are you the Governor of Hangcheng? Or are you Elder Shangguan?"
At this moment, Qiu Hanying couldn't help herself. At this instant, she was completely convinced that this man in front of her had come here specifically to get close to her!
"Forget it, believe it or not."
Hearing Qiu Hanying's words, Lin Chen was too lazy to explain further and turned to leave.
However, before he could take two steps, a scream came from behind: "Ah! Help, help!"
Hearing this sound, Lin Chen subconsciously turned his head and saw several men in black taking advantage of the night to stuff Qiu Hanying into a sack.
Seeing this, Lin Chen sighed helplessly and turned back.
Although this woman was frustrating, she wasn't bad-hearted.
"Well, hello there, everyone. What are you doing? It's a bit shameful for several grown men to bully a woman, isn't it?"
Lin Chen walked forward and stood directly in front of the men in black.
"Kid, I advise you not to meddle."
The leader of the men in black saw Lin Chen and pulled a dagger from his trouser leg. The others also looked at Lin Chen with ill intentions.
"I'm sorry, but I'm a soft-hearted person. I can't stand seeing women, especially beautiful women, being bullied."
"Now, if you let her go and leave, I can pretend that nothing happened."
Lin Chen shook his head, unfazed by the threats of the men in black.
"So, you're determined to get involved? Brothers, attack!"
At the command of the leader of the men in black, the others put down the sack and surrounded Lin Chen.
Seeing this, Lin Chen became even more helpless. "Alas, why do you fools always think you're powerful just because you have more people?"
"Don't you know that even a flock of sheep is no match for a tiger?"
Lin Chen sighed again, and instead of retreating, he charged directly at the leader of the men in black.
In less than half a minute, all four men in black had fallen to the ground, crying out in pain.
And this was Lin Chen holding back. Otherwise, these people would have met their end facing Lin Chen!
"You... Who exactly are you?"
The leader of the men in black clutched his chest, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Lin Chen.
He had been a thug for many years and had seen many storms, but he had never encountered anyone with such terrifying skills!
"Alright, stop the nonsense. Hurry up and leave, otherwise, I won't hold back anymore."
Lin Chen shook his head and did not reply.
Without getting an answer, the men in black could only help each other up and quickly disappear into the night.
After the men in black had all left, Lin Chen opened the sack and released Qiu Hanying.
In his opinion, now that he had saved her life, her impression of him must have changed.
However, to Lin Chen's utter surprise, as soon as he removed the towel from Qiu Hanying's mouth, she started cursing.
"You scoundrel! To get close to me, you're too shameless! Using such a cliché trick!"
"I'm telling you, I'm definitely going to report you to the police!"
At this moment, Qiu Hanying was filled with anger and hatred, wishing she could devour Lin Chen.
Where was this place? Shanshui Jiayuan! The security level was extremely high. If there were real kidnappers, how could they have possibly infiltrated?
So, there was only one possibility: these people must have been hired by this pretty boy in front of her.
First, he kidnaps her, then Lin Chen appears as a hero to save the beauty, thus getting close to her and making her grateful to him.
What a scheme, what a scheme!
"You woman, are you crazy? I saved your life, and you want to call the police on me?"
"Alright, alright, next time I see something like this, I won't meddle, okay?"
Hearing Qiu Hanying's ungrateful words, Lin Chen's face fell.
He had only acted out of goodwill, but unexpectedly, he was treated like this!
"Hmph, do you take me for a fool? Those men in black were burly and strong, clearly trained fighters. With your thin and weak physique, you'd fall with a gust of wind. If you hadn't colluded with them, how could you have possibly defeated so many of them?"
Qiu Hanying was also indignant and pointed at Lin Chen's nose, stating her guess.
