Chapter 1529 Zhang Xiaolong's Wedding
"I'll take it. You have no objections, right?" Chen Xuan looked at Ge Xiong.
Ge Xiong wouldn't dare to say no.
Not long after, Dong Ming arrived with his men. Upon seeing Ge Xiong, Dong Ming was overjoyed.
"I've asked what I needed to ask. Longmen may have already infiltrated the Upper Three Gates of Kyoto. Further investigation is needed. As for the rest, it's up to you," Chen Xuan said lightly.
"Longmen is quite capable, coveting even the Upper Three Gates."
Dong Ming clicked his tongue. "Brother Xuan, don't worry. I'll have someone notify the Upper Three Gates about this matter to prevent Longmen from infiltrating them."
"I'll leave if there's nothing else."
Chen Xuan stretched and walked out of the cave with the box.
Although Chen Xuan was carrying the box, Dong Ming didn't ask anything.
After a few busy days, he was exhausted and smelled of sweat. He decided to take a bath as soon as he got home.
As soon as he returned home and prepared to shower, he suddenly noticed a cigarette butt on the coffee table. The cigarette butt was still warm.
"Someone's been here?"
Chen Xuan muttered, and then a murderous intent surged from the back of his head.
He sharply turned sideways, and a dagger flashing with cold light stabbed towards his chest, grazing his sternum.
At this moment, Chen Xuan clearly saw the assassin's face: "Li Xiaoming, why is it you?"
Yes, the assassin was none other than Li Meixue's brother, Li Xiaoming.
"Of course, I'm here to kill you!"
Li Xiaoming gritted his teeth.
"Didn't you investigate the reason for your sister's disappearance?" Chen Xuan asked.
"I've investigated thoroughly. The disappearance of my sister is all your fault!" Li Xiaoming said forcefully.
The first time Li Xiaoming met Chen Xuan, he doubted Chen Xuan's guilt. However, during his subsequent investigation, Ge Xiong interfered, making Li Xiaoming mistakenly believe that Chen Xuan was the killer.
"You might have been misled."
Chen Xuan sighed helplessly.
"I couldn't have been misled. You are the murderer!" Li Xiaoming snorted coldly.
"Then why don't you listen to this."
Chen Xuan reached for his phone.
"Stop..."
Li Xiaoming shouted, fearing that Chen Xuan would pull out a firearm. He didn't have much confidence against firearms.
"Don't be nervous. It's just a phone. There's a recording on it."
Chen Xuan smiled and slowly took out his phone from his pocket.
He opened the voice recorder and played the recording from earlier that day. The voice was Ge Xiong's words.
"Impossible, impossible! How could it be Ge Xiong? Your recording must be fake!" Li Xiaoming yelled.
He refused to believe that he had been fooled all along!
Chen Xuan rolled his eyes. "Think carefully. Who was coveting your family's industry back then? Who eventually acquired your family's assets?"
"The Ge family..."
Li Xiaoming had already investigated this matter.
"If you don't believe the recording, you can verify its authenticity. Besides, Ge Xiong of the Ge family has been apprehended. I believe the authorities will provide justice for your Li family soon," Chen Xuan said calmly.
"Then I'll wait a few more days. If it can't be proven that the Ge family is the murderer, I'll come to settle the score with you!"
Li Xiaoming turned and left.
Chen Xuan shrugged. However, he knew that this matter would soon be made public.
He took a hot shower, and all his fatigue instantly vanished.
"Hurry up and cultivate. If you don't use so many spirit stones for cultivation, are you saving them to breed?" The World Tree was restless while Chen Xuan was bathing, urging him to cultivate.
"Can you stop being so thirsty? Speaking of which, I was mocked today for not having a Nascent Soul."
Thinking of this, Chen Xuan felt extremely depressed, and his good mood diminished by half.
"Don't worry. Once my World Tree grows, even without a Nascent Soul, they won't be your match," the World Tree said confidently.
"I hope so."
Chen Xuan dared not hold much hope.
He wiped himself dry and, wearing a bathrobe, returned to the bedroom, quickly refining the spirit stones.
Perhaps it was because the spirit stones in the cave dwelling had been there for too long, and some of their spiritual energy had leaked. However, the spirit stones obtained from Ge Xiong were each filled with abundant spiritual energy. Yet, even so, the World Tree refined them all in less than fifteen minutes.
That was too fast!
Chen Xuan felt helpless, thinking he would be exhausted in the future.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?"
Chen Xuan asked.
"Me..."
It was Su Yunxi's voice.
"Yunxi, is there something?"
Chen Xuan got out of bed and opened the door. He saw Su Yunxi standing outside, her graceful figure alluring and her face breathtakingly beautiful.
"Tomorrow, a business partner is getting married, and I've been invited. I was wondering if you could accompany me?"
At this moment, Chen Xuan noticed that Su Yunxi was holding a wedding invitation.
"Getting married? Alright."
Chen Xuan readily agreed.
"Then it's settled. We'll set off punctually at ten o'clock tomorrow morning," Su Yunxi said with a smile.
Then, Su Yunxi turned and left, opening the wedding invitation.
The invitation read: Groom Zhang Xiaolong, Bride Huang Li, Getting Married.
......
The next morning, Su Yunxi woke up early and applied exquisite makeup at the vanity table.
Chen Xuan looked at Su Yunxi beside him and was slightly stunned. Su Yunxi was indeed very beautiful.
"Yunxi, you're dressed so beautifully, you might steal the bride's thunder," Chen Xuan teased with a smile.
"You know how to talk."
Su Yunxi playfully chided him.
However, Su Yunxi, who was initially planning to dress up grandly, seemed to have heard Chen Xuan's words. Fearing she might overshadow the bride, she changed into a more ordinary outfit. Yet, even so, she was a stunning sight wherever she went.
"When are we leaving?" Chen Xuan asked.
Su Yunxi checked the time. It was already past ten o'clock, so she stood up immediately. "Let's leave now."
So, Chen Xuan drove Su Yunxi to the hotel.
A little after eleven in the morning, they arrived at the Xinghe Grand Hotel.
Kyoto had many five-star hotels, but the Xinghe Grand Hotel had its unique advantages in hosting weddings, especially in its venue decorations. Therefore, on auspicious days, it was always fully booked, requiring reservations half a year in advance.
After parking the car in the underground parking lot, Chen Xuan and Su Yunxi headed towards the Xinghe Grand Hotel.
However, just as they left, several cars stopped nearby, and several beautiful women in exquisite makeup emerged from the cars, chattering excitedly.
These beautiful women were from the public relations department: Sister Rong, Bai Ling, Xu Xiaoxiao, and others.
Upon meeting, they greeted each other.
Most of these individuals had remained at Chen Xuan's company, while some had been hired at high salaries to serve as deputy department heads or even department heads in other departments, indicating the excellence of the Huanghai Group's public relations department back then.
"By the way, I heard you all joined the public relations department of Xuanyun Group. Is that true?"
"Yes, we're all still here."
Sister Rong and Bai Ling stood together with a few other women.
