Chapter 631 Call Someone!
Chen Xuan looked at Tang Yongnian and asked, "Are you really willing?"
"Of course, I wouldn't dare lie to you," Tang Yongnian said decisively.
Chen Xuan nodded lightly, "Then I've noted this matter."
"What about the pill...?"
Tang Yongnian breathed a sigh of relief, preparing to handle the matter that evening.
"If you have your son apologize to me and bring over that contract, I will naturally give you the pill," Chen Xuan said indifferently.
Chen Xuan didn't have any good ideas for getting the contract from Tang Chen for the time being. If he could get it smoothly now, that would be great.
The key was that Tang Yongnian and Tang Chen were completely different in personality. Moreover, upon hearing what Tang Chen had done, Tang Yongnian was furious, indicating that he was someone worth befriending.
As for the pill, its cost was only a little over a hundred yuan. Chen Xuan wouldn't feel bad even if he gave it away for free.
However, Tang Yongnian didn't think that way at all.
Upon hearing Chen Xuan's promise, he was so moved that tears streamed down his face. He gritted his teeth and said firmly, "Mr. Chen, you truly have a magnanimous heart. Rest assured, I will definitely bring my unfilial son to apologize to you!"
Chen Xuan nodded lightly.
The surrounding wealthy individuals, upon hearing Chen Xuan's promise, felt immense envy for Tang Yongnian. Obtaining such a miraculous pill was equivalent to gaining an extra life.
The banquet ended, and Chen Xuan went to his car, preparing to go home.
Just then, a white van drove over from a distance. As it passed by Chen Xuan, it suddenly made a sharp turn, its engine roaring, and it swerved violently towards Chen Xuan.
This was clearly a premeditated murder, not an accident!
As the van was about to hit Chen Xuan, he suddenly turned, dodging the impact.
Behind Chen Xuan was a utility pole. The van, clearly unable to control its speed, crashed headfirst into it. The hood instantly buckled, and thick black smoke billowed out.
"Damn, the car's about to explode!"
"Get out, get out! Hurry and get out!"
A chorus of screams arose as the van doors were flung open. Over a dozen people, coughing, jumped out of the vehicle, brandishing cleavers and steel pipes.
The driver and the passenger in the front seat were covered in blood from the impact.
The leader was the burly man sitting in the passenger seat. He touched the blood on his face and glared at Chen Xuan furiously, "Kid, you're looking for death!"
"What does it have to do with me? You crashed into a utility pole yourselves, and you blame me for that?" Chen Xuan chuckled lightly.
The burly man was almost choked with anger. He drew out a gleaming cleaver and held it in front of Chen Xuan, gritting his teeth, "Kid, someone told me to take your hands, but you've angered me today. Your legs won't be spared either!"
"That's right, they won't be spared!" others shouted.
Chen Xuan's actions earlier had clearly infuriated them.
"Take my hands?"
Chen Xuan's eyes narrowed. He was now certain that someone wanted to retaliate against him, but he still asked, "Who sent you?"
"That's none of your business."
"It's Elder Huang and Long Baichuan, isn't it?" Chen Xuan said calmly.
The leading burly man's pupils contracted. He hadn't expected Chen Xuan to guess, but he retorted, "No!"
Although the burly man denied it, Chen Xuan knew he had guessed correctly.
In fact, Elder Huang and Long Baichuan wanting Chen Xuan's arms also had a reason. Since Chen Xuan was a TCM practitioner who needed to feel the pulse with his hands, if he lost both arms, he wouldn't be able to do so. Even if he became a Medicine King, wouldn't he become a useless person the next day?
"Kid, I advise you not to resist, or I'll take your life," the leading burly man said sinisterly, crossing his arms.
"I also advise you to go to the police station and surrender immediately, or I won't let you off!" Chen Xuan said coldly.
The burly man was stunned, clearly surprised by Chen Xuan's response. He sneered, "Won't let me off? Did you all hear that? He actually said he won't let me off!"
"Hahaha! That's a huge joke!"
"Do you know who our Brother Xiong is?"
The burly man's subordinates burst into laughter, looking at Chen Xuan as if he were a clown.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xuan said coldly, "No matter who you are, I'm giving you three seconds to get out of my sight immediately!"
Silence fell upon the surroundings. Everyone looked bewildered, not expecting Chen Xuan to say such a thing.
Suddenly, one of the burly man's lackeys, with a fierce look, raised his steel pipe and cursed, "How dare you tell our boss to get lost? You must be incredibly brave!"
The burly man, however, extended his hand and stopped his subordinate, saying with a playful smile, "Don't be in a hurry."
Though the subordinate was puzzled, he still stopped what he was doing.
The burly man turned to Chen Xuan and said, "Kid, judging by your demeanor, you seem to have some backing. Don't blame me for not giving you a way out. I'll give you a chance now: call your backer over!"
"Are you sure?"
"You only have five minutes."
After speaking, the burly man fell silent, adopting an air of superiority.
Chen Xuan's gaze swept coldly over the group. These insignificant individuals could be dealt with by Chen Xuan with ease, yet he didn't do so. Instead, he turned and walked towards a seven-seater SUV about ten meters away.
"Kid, where are you going..."
The burly man, seeing this, became vigilant, thinking Chen Xuan was trying to escape. Just as he was about to stop him, he saw Chen Xuan stop by the SUV and then waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to stand down.
Inside the car sat four people, three men and one woman, all their gazes fixed on Chen Xuan.
"Captain Qiu, that kid is in trouble!" a man with a square face in his twenties suddenly said.
"Perfect! Now that he's in trouble, this kid will definitely make a move, and he'll surely reveal himself." An excited voice chimed in.
It was Qiu Momo, the captain of the Martial Alliance's Special Affairs Office. She had been tracking Chen Xuan since that day. They had been following him since he left the banquet and happened to witness this scene.
According to Qiu Momo's theory, if Chen Xuan was a notorious criminal, he would surely make a move when encountering these hooligans. Once Chen Xuan acted, they would rush out and apprehend him. With irrefutable evidence, Chen Xuan would have no defense.
With this thought, Qiu Momo's beautiful eyes curved, her icy and stern face blooming into a beautiful smile, like a snow lotus in full bloom.
Just then, the square-faced man suddenly pointed out the window and shouted, "Damn, that kid is walking towards us!"
Qiu Momo abruptly turned her head. Her smile immediately froze on her face.
Could it be that she had been exposed?
No, that was impossible!
As the words left her lips, a rapid knocking on the car window sounded from outside.
"What should we do?" the square-faced man asked, somewhat flustered, turning to Qiu Momo.
"Send him away," Qiu Momo said, her brows furrowed.
The square-faced man nodded, rolled down the window, and indeed, Chen Xuan's familiar face appeared. He asked indifferently, "Is there something?"
Chen Xuan pointed at the group of thugs outside and said, "Big brother, I need to report to the authorities. They want to break my arms and legs."
"Report to the authorities? You should call 110 for the police, why are you looking for us? Hurry up and leave!" the square-faced man said, attempting to close the window.
Chen Xuan, however, suddenly reached out and stopped the square-faced man, saying with a playful grin, "Aren't the people from your Special Affairs Office even more capable than the police? Isn't it better to find you?"
The square-faced man's face instantly darkened.
