After dinner, Chen Nan and several beauties sat in the living room watching TV.
"Yixuan, there’s something I’m not sure whether I should talk about or not," Chen Nan suddenly said.
Not only Su Yixuan, but everyone else was startled and looked at Chen Nan curiously, "What’s up?"
"Remember that time we were chased and nearly killed by the Zhao family’s people on the street?" Chen Nan asked with a smile. Ever since he learned from Zhao Dongshan who the mastermind was, he had forgotten to tell Su Yixuan.
"Of course, I remember. What about it?"
"I know who the mastermind behind that attempt on your life was."
Su Yixuan asked excitedly, "Who is it?"
Chen Nan said the name nonchalantly, but Su Yixuan shook her head in denial, "Impossible, it absolutely can’t be him. Uncle Xie has been with the company for thirty years. He has been there since my father started the company, and he has made massive contributions over the years. How could he possibly want to kill me!"
Chen Nan shrugged and said, "Whether you believe it or not, the fact is he’s the mastermind."
Su Yixuan fell silent for a while before looking at Chen Nan and saying, "It’s not that I don’t believe you, but Uncle Xie is one of the people I trust the most. I feel like he wouldn’t harm me."
Chen Nan smiled and shook his head, "So you’re not very sure yourself, are you? Actually, I don’t expect you to fully believe me. I just hope that you’ll be more cautious and watch out for this person, so you don’t get stabbed in the back later on."
Looking at Chen Nan, Su Yixuan hesitated before asking, "Do you have any evidence that he’s the mastermind behind this?"
"No, but my source is absolutely reliable."
Su Yixuan nodded, "Alright, I’ll pay close attention to him."
Chen Nan smiled, saying nothing.
He was well aware that Su Yixuan clearly didn’t quite believe him. But Chen Nan was at peace with it; after all, the other person had been with the company for thirty years, while he had only known Su Yixuan for thirty days. What standing did he have to compare with that?
"Just be careful and keep your guard up; after all, it’s necessary to guard against others," Chen Nan said with a smile before getting up and returning to his room.
After a busy day, quite tired, Chen Nan turned on his computer and started flirting with a girl online to relax.
"Beauty, do you have a boyfriend?"
"Would you mind replacing him?"
"Would you mind having an extra one then?"
"Drop dead, you freak!"
While Chen Nan was having a great time chatting, the door was pushed open, and Liu Tiantian walked in with a dejected look on her face, startling Chen Nan into quickly closing the chat window and sitting up straight.
Liu Tiantian’s sticky voice lingered with a long tone.
Chen Nan shivered all over, "Damn it, can you not be so coquettish?"
Liu Tiantian ran over, grabbed Chen Nan’s arm, and shook it, her voice becoming even more coquettish, "Cousin, Nan brother..."
Chen Nan was speechless for a moment, "What do you want?"
"I heard from Qingqing that you and Jiang Xiaomi are not involved. Is that true?"
Chen Nan nodded his head.
Liu Tiantian instantly changed from her pitiful demeanor to a cheerful one, leaning in to peck Chen Nan on the cheek with a "smack," "So, if I lose some weight on my chest, do I still have a chance to chase you?"
Once again, a woman had forcibly kissed him!
Chen Nan felt miserable and without thinking, he nodded his head.
Liu Tiantian felt a pang of disappointment in her heart. Her cousin didn’t stop her from reducing her bust size, which meant he really did like women with small chests. Jiang Xiaomi, with her tiny chest, was indeed strong competition!
I must reduce my bust size severely, even smaller than Jiang Xiaomi’s!
Liu Tiantian mentally pumped herself up, then said goodbye to Chen Nan and raced back to her room, hassling Su Qingqing to help her look up ways to reduce bust size, nearly driving Su Qingqing to the brink of insanity.
In a hospital room at Ningjiang City Center Hospital, Xiao Jianren was lying on the bed, his left hand in a cast, immobilized.
Beside Xiao Jianren sat a young man around twenty-five or twenty-six years of age who bore a slight resemblance to Xiao Jianren. He was very muscular, a typical strong man—this was Xiao Jianren’s older brother, Xiao Jianyi.
By rights, the characters for "benevolence" and "justice" typically have "benevolence" first and "justice" afterwards, but somehow, the names of these two brothers were the other way around.
Looking at his younger brother on the bed, several teeth missing, his face swollen, and his hand broken, a rage like two fiery storms seemed to burn in Xiao Jianyi’s eyes. His face twisted angrily as he crushed a porcelain teacup in his hand to dust, and said coldly, "What’s with this Chen Nan? What sort of background does he have?"
Xiao Jianren shook his head, "I’m not sure, but his martial skills are very high. It’s said that even Zhao Ming was once defeated by him."
Xiao Jianyi slammed his hand on the edge of the bed, "No matter how skilled he is in martial arts, I refuse to let the person who dared to harm my brother Xiao Jianyi get away with it. I will cripple him!"
Xiao Jianren’s face lit up with delight, well aware of his brother’s power.
The strength of a Sixth Rank in Karate is certainly that of a master! No matter how skilled Chen Nan may be, he’ll probably just get smashed with a single punch, right?
"Brother, after he’s made me lose so much face, if we just cripple him, won’t that be letting him off too easily?"
Xiao Jianyi glanced at him, "What do you suggest?"
"Let’s ambush him at the school entrance, beat him to the ground in front of all the students, make him kneel and apologize while singing ’Conquered.’ Only then will I be able to show my face at school again," Xiao Jianren said coldly.
Xiao Jianyi nodded, "Fine, tomorrow morning, I’ll bring my students from the dojo with me, and let them see how I beat Chen Nan to the ground. It will not only avenge us but also demonstrate the power of Karate to more people. It will effectively advertise my dojo and bring in more students."
"You’re absolutely right, brother. I’ll join you tomorrow. I’m going to personally knock out his teeth to make him feel the agony of not being able to eat! And I’ll make Huo Xinya realize that compared to me, Chen Nan is nothing but crap."
"Alright, let’s go and cripple him first thing in the morning!"
