The voice coming through the phone left both Chen Jun and his father stunned; it took a few seconds before Chen Jun, with an ugly expression, demanded, "Didn't you freaking say it was a piece of cake? What went wrong?"
Once again a voice came from the phone, but this time it had changed, "Mr. Chen, are you surprised?"
"Who is this?" Chen Jun asked in a low voice.
"You really have a short memory for someone so important!" The voice on the other end carried a teasing laugh, "Isn't this what you hired them to do, to take me down? What, you forgot already?"
"Chu Ge!" Chen Jun almost spat the name out between his teeth; as the eldest son of the Chen Family, digging up a name like Chu Ge was naturally easy for him.
"Wow, Eldest Young Master Chen actually remembers my name, I'm flattered!" The voice on the other end held no trace of feeling flattered, and continued, "What, after only meeting once, you're giving me such a generous welcome gift?"
Chen Jun's complexion was now ashen, and he almost roared into the phone, "Chu Ge, I'm warning you, crossing me won't end well for you, the Chen Family is not someone you can afford to provoke!"
"Let me remind you too!" The voice on the other end dropped the previous teasing tone, and spoke coldly, "Reciprocating gifts is a tradition of us Huaxia people. Today, you sent me a big gift, rest assured, in time, I'll give you a surprise as well!"
"Click—"
Watching the hung up call, Big Baldy truly felt like burying his head in a blanket and crying his heart out.
He'd been in Shanghai for over a decade and this was the first time he had seen such a terrifying creature. Being hit by a single punch from him could send someone flying, and a steel pipe in his hand was like it was made of clay, easily twisted into a pretzel!
Just the visuals alone, never mind the actual fight, were enough to make legs go weak with fear.
"Big... Big Brother! It was all that bastard Chen Jun who directed us, your grievances have a source, just treat us like a fart and let it go!"
Seeing Chu Ge approaching, Big Baldy's legs trembled as he pleaded repeatedly.
"Do you know Mu Bingtong?"
"Huh?" Big Baldy clearly didn't anticipate Chu Ge would suddenly ask such a question and was immediately taken aback.
"If you don't even know her, what use are you?" Chu Ge stepped forward and with one kick, Big Baldy flew up, ending up hanging from a nearby tree.
"Do you know Mu Bing...?"
"I know her! Big Brother, I know her!" Seeing Chu Ge's gaze turn to him, Huang Mao hurriedly shouted out loud.
Sure enough, this time Chu Ge showed a gentle smile, "Not bad, do you know where she lives?"
"The others might not know, but Mu Bingtong is a famous person in Shanghai. As long as one is a local, there's hardly anyone who doesn't know, she lives in Yutian Huayuan, building number nineteen!"
Finally, Chu Ge nodded satisfyingly, patted Huang Mao on the shoulder, and turned to leave, a sentence drifting along with the breeze, "Nice hairstyle, quite distinctive."
Huang Mao was stunned; he watched Chu Ge walk away, and his eyes actually began to tear up!
Was he appreciating his hairstyle? So, there are still people with taste in this world!
Of course, Chu Ge had no idea that his casual remark would become a moment of confidence for Huang Mao for a lifetime, although it also indirectly resulted in him not washing his hair for over three months to maintain the hairstyle...
Yutian Huayuan, being one of the famous villa districts in Shanghai, naturally had comprehensive security measures, so Chu Ge's old van was unsurprisingly stopped by the security at the entrance.
The van belonged to Big Baldy and his crew; God knows how long it had been since it was last maintained, as the whole vehicle looked like it was just picked from a trash heap.
"Open the gate, I'm here to see someone."
"See someone?" A security guard approached, eyeing Chu Ge and the van behind him, and asked teasingly, "Who are you looking for?"
"Mu Bingtong. I'm her fiancé."
"Pfft—" The guard's eyes almost popped out as he looked at Chu Ge and laughed, "Buddy, there's a limit to bullshitting, okay? Mu Bingtong's fiancé? I'm the freaking brother of the Jade Emperor!"
After laughing for a while and seeing that Chu Ge didn't respond, the guard probably found it boring and waved his hand, "Buddy, better scoot along. I'm in a good mood, but the others would've started cursing. This really isn't the place for you!"
"I really do know Mu Bingtong." Chu Ge took out his phone, "How about this, I'll make a call to Zhao Wuji."
"Zhao Wuji now?" The guard snorted with laughter, "Getting more outrageous, huh?"
"Hello? Zhao Wuji, oh, it's Chu Ge. The one who just sent you a Dragon Card, yeah. I want to enter Yutian Huayuan to see someone... Right, I've been stopped at the entrance, can you think of something?"
Watching Chu Ge hang up the phone, the guard wore a helpless smile, "Buddy, who are you trying to fool? Just leave."
What the junior guard didn't expect was that, in less than three minutes after Chu Ge ended the call, the head of the security hurried over, sweat on his forehead not even wiped away, asking, "Chu... Mr. Chu?"
To be honest, even though Zhao Wuji had briefed him over the phone, the head of security still couldn't help but be taken aback when he actually saw Chu Ge's patch-covered clothes.
"Zhao Wuji told you, right?"
"He did, he did!" the head of security quickly nodded, with a fawning expression, "This guard is new, he doesn't know any better. Aiya, if only you had said you knew Mr. Zhao earlier, I would have personally come to usher you in."
"No need." Chu Ge got back into the van, "So, can I go in now?"
"Of course, of course!" the head of security hurriedly shouted to the other guard, "Xiao Wang, what are you dawdling for? Open the gate quickly!"
As the van drifted around the corner, the guard known as Xiao Wang hurriedly asked, "Head, does he really know Zhao Wuji?"
"Not only does he know him, but from Mr. Zhao's tone, he seems to hold this person in quite high regard," the head of security shook his head, a puzzled look on his face, "I don't understand what's going through the minds of these big shots nowadays, ignoring suits and sports cars, and instead opting to wear tattered clothes and drive a little van."
"Pretending to be weak to catch the strong, eh!" Xiao Wang breathed a sigh of relief, feeling lucky, "Good thing I have a temper, or I might have seriously offended him!"
It's no wonder Yutian Huayuan is one of the top villa districts in Shanghai. Not only is it expansive, but each villa also has a considerable gap between them, incomparable to those cramped residential complexes.
Mu Bingtong's residence was located at the end of the second row. Chu Ge parked the car on the side of the road and walked over to knock on the door.
However, just as he reached the door, he heard a heated argument coming from inside. As he leaned his ear against the door to listen more clearly, the door suddenly swung open, revealing a breathtakingly beautiful face.
"You? What are you doing here?" Mu Bingtong stared at Chu Ge, dumbstruck.
Chu Ge flashed a radiant smile, revealing a set of neat, white teeth, "Wifey, here we meet again!"
