C78 For the First Time in His Life
C78 For the First Time in His Life
When they arrived at a vast industrial area that was used for stopping work, Yang Chen slowed down the car and parked it on the dirt road. Yang Chen fumbled in his pocket for a cigarette, lit up the car quietly and leaned against the car, looking in the direction he came from.
Not far away, a black Honda Accord also silently stopped. Not long later, four boorish men with different clothes got off, the four of them were tall, short, fat, and skinny. Their looks and temperament were all different, but they were all looking at Yang Chen with malicious intent in their eyes.
"How did you find us?" A tanned man wearing a flowery shirt asked.
"A man's sixth sense." Yang Chen grinned.
The floral shirt man frowned as he asked in puzzlement, "Since you found out that we were following you, why did you bring us here? Do you think that by changing the route to return home, we won't follow you?"
Yang Chen smoked a few mouthfuls. Although he had some money, the tobacco he smoked was still quite hot, so he spat out a few smoke rings in enjoyment. Then, Yang Chen grinned and said, "I didn't ask you guys not to follow me. I just chose a suitable place for you guys to get off."
"What do you mean?" The floral shirt man was a little confused about the situation. They were only following the man's instructions to understand his connections so they could move on, but the current turn of events left him no choice but to reconsider his next step.
Yang Chen's eyes narrowed into two slits as he laughed strangely, "Haven't you guys noticed that there aren't any cameras around here …"
As this was still being developed and was an industrial area that was currently stopped in its tracks, the surrounding infrastructure looked extremely messy and dilapidated. Even the roads had yet to be fully opened, and there were almost no cars passing by.
"Camera?" Flower Robe laughed sinisterly. "I should be the one warning you. We don't need to worry about making a move in a place without a camera."
"Maybe it's the opposite?" Yang Chen shrugged.
"Big brother, this kid wants to fight. It looks like his brain is really stupid." One of his lackeys laughed.
The floral shirt man looked displeased as he said, "Young man, you can boast. Don't force us brothers to hit you hard. Although we haven't received your orders yet, we can still do it first and play after."
"Are you all bored?" Yang Chen smiled and said, "If you want to do it quickly, then I have to go home for dinner."
"Stinking brat, you're tired of living!"
A man with a moustache walked forward without saying anything. The other three people also stopped talking and started surrounding Yang Chen.
"Let me tell you, bullshit is useless, fists are the real deal!" The bearded big fellow spat out a mouthful of phlegm, clenched his fist and immediately attacked Yang Chen's face!
Yang Chen easily dodged it. At the same time, as he moved, a cold smile appeared on his face. He said, "When I first came back to this land, I had secretly made up my mind that if others didn't provoke me, if they didn't take the initiative to hit me, if they didn't threaten me, I would never hit them first. So now I have to thank you for this fist — this allows me to kill you with peace of mind."
"Everyone attack together!" The floral shirt man was incensed. He really could not tolerate such a young man looking down on the four of them.
However, the four people's attack was clearly futile. Yang Chen casually performed a few fighting moves. With his lightning-like speed and tyrannical strength, if the four people didn't break their fingers and arms, they would be mercilessly slapped on the palms of their hands and become swollen.
The fight between the five became Yang Chen playing around with the four of them.
"I can't beat him!" The bearded man who made the first move cursed as he held his swollen face.
The floral shirt man also realized that the situation wasn't right. Although he was unwilling, he realized that the four of them were not on the same level as the man in front of them.
"Return to the carriage, flee!"
With a command from the floral shirt man, the four of them quickly ran towards the Honda car.
Yang Chen did not stop them. With a faint smile on his face, he watched the four people hurry up and lock the windows after getting on the car. They started the car and turned around in an attempt to escape.
When the Honda car was about to leave, Yang Chen bent down and picked up an egg-sized pebble from the ground. He weighed it in his hand …
The floral shirt man and the other three in the car let out a sigh of relief after the car started. Although they couldn't beat him, they could at least escape. When the time came, he would report back to his superior and bring a large group of brothers with him. Was he afraid that he wouldn't be able to take revenge!?
But there is always a difference between reality and ideals...
After Yang Chen picked up the stone, he closed one eye and aimed. Immediately after, his body bent in a throwing posture. He stretched out his hand and leaned back. Suddenly, his waist was pushed forward!
His right hand flung out the stone he was holding!
The rock was like a miniature artillery shell, tearing through the air with a sonic boom!
With a speed that was impossible to see with the naked eye, the rock hit the side of the Honda car near the tank...
The black Honda Accord, which was still in motion, was like an ignited explosion. The raging flames soared and enveloped the entire car in high temperature as it charged towards a telephone pole by the side of the road.
In the blink of an eye, the newly perfect Honda had turned into a ball of burning black coke.
Yang Chen looked at the 'murder case of four people' that he had caused as if he was looking at a work of art. The reason he waited for them to get on the car and finish all four of their lives in this way was mainly because he was afraid that the police would find out some clues.
Killing those people when people thought they were the safest and most relaxed would also give Yang Chen a sense of satisfaction in his heart. This was considered as a mental illness that had been formed many years ago — unfortunately, Yang Chen never intended to cure this cruel disease.
"In your next life, remember to buy a German car. A Japanese car is too fragile." Yang Chen sneered as he returned to his car and continued to rush home.
Along the way, Yang Chen pondered about who would make a move on him. In the first place, the person must not be familiar with him yet, or else he wouldn't have sent someone to follow him and find out where he lived and his relationships with others.
No matter how he thought about it, Yang Chen couldn't confirm who it was. In the end, he could only sigh and mutter to himself expressionlessly: "It's fine to look for trouble with me, but anyone who is related to me should die …"

After having a sumptuous dinner at the mansion, Nanny Wang took out another bag of magazines about fashion. She said to Yang Chen with a smile, "Young Master, this is the magazine ordered by the Lady. It was just delivered today. Please send it to her on my behalf later."
Yang Chen, who was watching the news on TV, took it happily. "Of course, as long as Nanny Wang cooks us delicious food, this chores should be done by us."
"No, no." Nanny Wang quickly added, "Don't say that, Young Master. I think Young Master should go see Miss more. This way, Miss will remember Young Master's good points and we'll be closer in the future."
Yang Chen smiled bitterly, "Nanny Wang, do you trust me that much to push Ruoxi into my arms?"
Nanny Wang said sternly, "Young Master, I watched young miss grow up. I've never had a child in my life, and if I'm sorry, Miss is like my half daughter. After the old lady and her wife died, I was looking forward to the young lady finding a place to stay. Miss has been so beautiful since she was young. Of course, the men who like her can be found all over Zhong Hai, but those people are too weak. " Nanny Wang then looked at Yang Chen with satisfaction and smiled, "Unlike you, Young Master, I'm old and have good eyesight. Even though you didn't say it out loud, you still cared about your young mistress. From the look in Young Master's eyes, I could tell that your young master cared a lot about your young lady the day she fainted. Young people like you sometimes really care too much about face, but face isn't as important as feelings. "
Yang Chen was silent for a long time before he said with a smile, "Nanny Wang, it's time for you to become a psychologist. You make me doubt whether I am myself or not."
"Young Master, you don't need to think too much. Just treat it as an old woman speaking blindly. Quickly go and deliver the magazine to Miss. Miss might fall asleep if you're late." Nanny Wang urged with a smile.
Yang Chen picked up a bag of magazines and took a look. Most of them were introductions of fashion and international famous brands' new season luxury goods. As the president of a fashion company, Lin Ruoxi definitely had to know about these products herself.
They quickly left Dragon View Garden and went to the hospital. When they drove to a small business street, Yang Chen saw a shop by the side of the road with lights on. He couldn't help but smile …
When he arrived at the hospital ward, it was already ten-thirty in the evening. Most of the rooms had their lights turned off, but Lin Ruoxi's room was still brightly lit.
Yang Chen opened the door lightly and looked up. Lin Ruoxi was not the only person in the ward.
It was Lin Ruoxi's secretary, Wu Yue. She had the body of an airport pilot, and it was unknown whether she was cold to begin with, or an extremely cold and plain woman who had learned from Lin Ruoxi.
Lin Ruoxi was lying on the bed with all kinds of documents on the table in front of her. She was holding a silver pen and was writing something, while Wu Yue was standing at the side with a serious expression, picking up documents from time to time and handing them over to the others.
Seeing Yang Chen walk in, Wu Yue frowned. "What are you doing here?"
Yang Chen raised the paper bag in his hand, "Send some magazines over."
"Why do I need you to send me off? Who do you think you are, the CEO?" Wu Yue reprimanded her in a dissatisfied manner.
Yang Chen thought that since she could be counted as Lin Ruoxi's trusted aide, it didn't matter if he said it out loud. However, before Yang Chen could say anything, Lin Ruoxi interjected — "He is a distant relative of mine." Lin Ruoxi signaled with her eyes, telling Yang Chen not to say anything more.
Yang Chen touched his nose and smiled bitterly. Originally, he thought that the relationship between the two of them had become a lot closer, but now it seems that in Lin Ruoxi's eyes, he was just a playmate who signed the contract. She didn't really accept him as someone close to her, nor did she admit that she was her husband.
He was slightly disappointed, but fortunately, his mental endurance was not bad. He had long been mentally prepared, and would not be so naive as to think that Icemountain was that easy to subdue. Yang Chen just smiled and didn't say anything else. He put the paper bag on Lin Ruoxi's bedside and said, "Nanny Wang told me to bring this over. She said it's a magazine you ordered this month."
Wu Yue showed a look of understanding. It was probably because of her distant relative's reputation that she was able to enter the company. She looked at Yang Chen with even more contempt and said with some ill intent, "Just put down your things and leave. Don't disturb the CEO's office."
Yang Chen originally wanted to advise her not to tire herself out too much, but when he saw her lower her head and focus on the documents, unwilling to pay any attention to him, he stopped himself from asking for trouble.
"Then I'll be going." Although he was a bit unhappy with Wu Yue, she was after all, Lin Ruoxi's secretary, so it wasn't good for him to get angry, so Yang Chen just held his breath and didn't want to talk to her.
When Yang Chen turned around to leave, Lin Ruoxi slightly raised her head. Her watery eyes gazed at Yang Chen's back. That back that was usually free and unrestrained actually looked desolate and lonely under the light. Lin Ruoxi could not help but feel regret in her heart. She didn't even thank him, but she was too shy to say anything about it.
After the door closed, Lin Ruoxi sighed imperceptibly and continued to process the documents.
About an hour later, it was already late at night. Wu Yue looked at her watch and said reluctantly, "CEO, let's end it here today. I will take the documents back and arrange them for Governor Mo tomorrow. You should get some rest now."
Lin Ruoxi rubbed her temples. She had been taking Chinese medicine these days to recuperate and to take care of those visitors, so she was really tired at night. She nodded and said, "Tell Governor Mo that I will handle the documents for the fall fashion show and the plan to open up the Japanese market. She will handle the rest."
"Yes, CEO."
Wu Yue was extremely efficient. In less than five minutes, she had finished tidying up all the documents and materials. She then respectfully bade farewell and left.
Lin Ruoxi relaxed her whole body and let out a long breath. She leaned her head against the soft pillow, glanced at the big bag of magazines Yang Chen brought with her, thought for a moment, then took the bag over, intending to read the magazine before going to sleep.
As soon as she opened the bag, a familiar smell of glutinous rice wafted out. Lin Ruoxi was stunned for a moment. She took a closer look and found that other than the dozen or so magazines, there was also a box of transparent plastic wrapped glutinous rice balls!
Slowly taking out the box, Lin Ruoxi looked at the ten round, white, black, and green dough inside. They were all colorful and still had steam coming from them.
Of course, Lin Ruoxi knew that Nanny Wang didn't bring this pill for her. After eating glutinous rice balls when she was young, Nanny Wang no longer allowed her to eat glutinous rice balls. Therefore, it had to be that person who bought it for her …
Was it because the last time Cai Yan came, she mentioned that she loved eating glutinous rice balls?
Because of that casual conversation, he remembered what he loved to eat?
Thinking of what he had just said to Yang Chen, how he treated Yang Chen like a stranger, and the way Yang Chen walked away from him …
Unnoticed, Lin Ruoxi's eyes were moist.
For the first time in her life, Lin Ruoxi had no appetite after seeing her favorite glutinous rice ball.
