Chapter 1474 For the Happiness and Well-being of the People
"Oh, don't mention it."
The middle-aged man in the Tang suit sighed.
"What happened? Tell me quickly!" Ghost King urged anxiously.
The middle-aged man in the Tang suit said slowly, "Someone from our guild just called, saying they ran into a tough opponent and couldn't resolve the trouble. That guy wanted to kill Liao Ya. I went to see, and the person who had a conflict with our guild was precisely that Mr. Chen!"
"Mr. Chen is indeed powerful, to be able to defeat Liao Ya so easily."
Ghost King exclaimed in admiration. Although he had anticipated it, he was still very surprised.
"And then?"
"Mr. Chen probably held a grudge. He threw down a peace talisman and left. How detestable."
Ghost King first showed a disappointed expression, then was stunned, "You said a peace talisman?"
"This is it." The middle-aged man in the Tang suit took out the jade talisman.
Ghost King snatched it: "Right, what else did Mr. Chen say?"
"He also said for you to wear it day and night and never take it off."
Ghost King carefully examined the jade talisman. He could tell that this jade talisman was not a crudely made talisman obtained from a temple, but was very exquisite. It was obvious at a glance that it was extraordinary, and perhaps it would truly be useful.
Thus, Ghost King quickly put it on.
That night was very peaceful!
Returning to his residence, Chen Xuan took a shower and went back to the bedroom. Just then, his phone rang.
It was Dong Ming's call.
"Brother Xuan, how did the mission go? Did you find anything?"
Dong Ming asked on the phone, as a routine matter.
This was the rule of the Dragon Soul team. Whenever they undertook a mission, they had to report daily. Dong Ming dared to ask Chen Xuan, but he didn't take it to heart, as it was only the first time, and he didn't expect to get any important information.
Chen Xuan replied, "I was just about to call you. I've met Hua Mei, and today I met her in the office, had a meal, and then took Hua Mei home..."
"Wait... Brother Xuan, what did you say?"
Dong Ming doubted if he had heard correctly.
"I'll say it again."
Chen Xuan then recounted what had happened.
Dong Ming was completely stunned. After a long while, he exclaimed, "Brother Xuan, you're too awesome! You've already wooed Huang Hai Group's number one beauty, Hua Mei, so quickly! If I had half your skill, I wouldn't be single."
Chen Xuan: "......"
"What wooing girls? I'm here to complete the mission."
"Oh... right, right, it's completing the mission. My words were imprecise."
Dong Ming coughed twice, his envy still very evident, "Brother Xuan, did you discover anything else?"
"I discovered that Huang Hai Group's chairman, Lu Cheng, highly values Hua Mei. Just because I interacted with Hua Mei, Lu Cheng sent people to silence me. As far as I know, at the beginning of Huang Hai Group's establishment, at least three men were silenced for meeting Hua Mei alone in their offices. Of course, it was publicly reported as accidental deaths."
Chen Xuan said solemnly, telling Dong Ming everything he knew.
Dong Ming was also taken aback, "Brother Xuan, are you saying those people were all silenced by Lu Cheng for meeting Hua Mei in her office?"
"I'm just suspecting, I don't have any evidence," Chen Xuan said.
Dong Ming immediately retrieved the information, "It's not three, but four men. Three were from the public relations department, and one was from the sales department. He met Hua Mei alone the day before, and then something happened to him the next day. However, because it was a criminal case, after the government's investigation, they could only prove it was an accident. In the end, Huang Hai Group compensated them and settled the matter."
"It seems this matter is probably not that simple."
"It's not simple, it's just a pity there's no evidence," Chen Xuan said helplessly.
The people from Ghost King's faction could not be used as evidence.
"Brother Xuan, I have a good idea, may I say it?"
As soon as Dong Ming finished speaking, Chen Xuan knew Dong Ming was up to no good and immediately said, "If you shouldn't say it, then shut up quickly and stop arranging bad scripts for me."
"It's all for the happiness and well-being of the people."
Dong Ming chuckled, "Brother Xuan, if you can force Lu Cheng to retaliate against you with all his might, he will definitely expose his flaws. Then we can arrest him and naturally investigate Huang Hai Group. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"
"Continue speaking..."
Chen Xuan felt that Dong Ming had a point.
"So, Brother Xuan, as long as you get closer to Hua Mei, Lu Cheng will definitely make a move against you again, and he might even deploy Huang Hai Group's experts. It will be easier for us to catch his handle, and then we can bring him to justice."
"Makes sense, it makes a lot of sense."
"See, I told you this wasn't a bad idea."
"Aren't you afraid that Yun Xi will find out and slap you?" Chen Xuan suddenly asked.
Dong Ming was rendered speechless. His face turned pale, and large beads of sweat flowed down his cheeks.
He swallowed hard before managing to say, "Brother Xuan, you have so many confidantes, what's one more? Besides, although our country's law doesn't allow marrying multiple wives, other countries do. You can find a small island to live in seclusion in the future, and who can do anything to you?"
"Kid, you have some ideas. Do you think like this often?"
"Hahaha, I'm single, so what do I have to think about? I just often read a novel written by someone called Wang Wudi. That's how they write it, and I think it makes a lot of sense."
"Go, go, don't talk nonsense. I'm just dedicating myself to the country. What you said, though a bad idea, should have good results."
"Brother Xuan, you agree?"
"Of course!" Chen Xuan nodded. "I'll hang up first. I need to think about how to provoke him tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Xuan lay on the bed, contemplating how to complete the mission.
Provoking him seemed very simple!
The next day, Chen Xuan finished breakfast and drove to work.
Public Relations Department.
Hua Mei looked distracted, like a walking corpse, as she walked towards her office.
"Bang!"
Hua Mei accidentally bumped into someone. She quickly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
The person she bumped into happened to be Huang Li, the head of the second group in the public relations department. Huang Li said, "Director Hua, what's wrong? Why don't you go back and rest?"
"Huang Li, I'm fine. I just didn't sleep well last night."
Hua Mei said faintly.
"Oh... Director Hua, why don't you go and catch up on sleep? Your mental state is really worrying."
"Okay, I know. Hurry up and go to work."
Hua Mei waved her hand. Huang Li hesitated for a moment before turning back to her work.
Hua Mei returned to her office and sat down on her chair, but she couldn't muster any energy.
Because of Chen Xuan, she had hardly slept all night. She repeatedly told herself that she had nothing to do with what happened, but for some reason, she still felt extremely guilty.
In the past, when men were killed by Lu Cheng because of Hua Mei, she had never felt this uneasy.
Could it be that she had actually fallen for this man, Chen Xuan, whom she had only met a few times?
The first time was at a critical moment in her life. She was in a car about to explode. The inside of the car was dark, and she was terrified. Chen Xuan, however, was like a light in the darkness, giving her unprecedented hope.
It was then that she remembered Chen Xuan.
