BXBX NOVEL Chapter 297 Only For Now
“Is that so?” Lu Zhi Yun asked once she saw Bai Chen shaking his head, refusing to let her call Long Xu In.
“Yes,” Bai Chen answered without having to think.
“Okay. No problem. You can rest as long as you like. I have a business to attend to. You can leave whenever you want.”
Lu Zhi Yun told Bai Chen and turned around, ready to leave the room.
However, before she left, she realised something that she could not hold in any longer.
“Oh, right. Do you know something big happened at this hotel?” She turned to look at Bai Chen again.
“Something big?” Bai Chen frowned, feeling curious.
“Yes.” Lu Zhi Yun nodded. Bai Chen seemed to not know anything about it.
“Something big happened here today, and it is rather interesting. Rumour has it that there was an assassination in Wang Chengye’s room. He’s the youngest son of the Wang family’s current head.”
Lu Zhi Yun stopped a little before she continued, “Wang Chengye escaped with his 8 bodyguards. However, Dong Hen, his right-hand man, and a bald old man were killed!”
“.....”
Hearing Lu Zhi Yun speak, Bai Chen went speechless. He did not say anything. His hands clenched tightly without him knowing it. He secretly sighed. It seemed like he did not have to look for Wang Chengye here anymore.
From what Lu Zhi Yun had said, it was obvious that Wang Chengye had escaped to Beijing. There was no way he was still here in Xing Zhou city.
He knew Wang Chengye. He loved himself so much that he was scared of death. Both the old man Foo Yen and master Yien, both sky soaring cultivators, were already dead. That was why Wang Chengye would be so scared, he would not want to stay here anymore.
Bai Chen regretted that he had not gotten a chance to kill Wang Chengye, the man that he hated the most.
However, he must admit that he was quite relieved because that meant his plan to build a luxurious supermarket had also been cancelled.
What should have happened would not happen!
“However, it is a shame that he’s not dead, though.” Lu Zhi Yun sighed in disappointment.
Bai Chen, still silent, looked up at her beautiful face, feeling amazed by her words.
“You hate him?” he could not help but ask.
Lu Zhi Yun blinked several times and answered, “I don’t hate him exactly. I just don’t like him!”
She did not tell Bai Chen that Wang Chengye was the man that her family wanted her to marry.
Wang Chengye was infamous. If he died, it would be good for her. She would not have to marry him.
Bai Chen knew that Lu Zhi Yun did not speak the truth. Maybe there was something between the two of them, which was why she wanted him dead.
However, he did not want to pry. He felt better about her just because she hated him too.
“All right, I have to go now. I want to go to a good casino to accumulate a lot of money.”
Lu Zhi Yun did not want to waste any more time because she had something important to do.
Of course, she wanted to go to a casino to gather money!
Bai Chen opened his mouth in awe. He recalled that she’d also talked about a casino when they first met.
Bai Chen could not help but be amused and think that this pretty foreign girl was quite interesting. She was beautiful, a narcissist, and also loved gambling. He thought that she was quite an independent thinker.
“Don’t worry much about me saving you. I helped you because you’re Xu In’s boyfriend. There’s no need for any repayment. The doctor that I called in was the one who took your shirt off, so don’t worry about that. I’ll be off now.”
Lu Zhi Yun left these as her parting words and exited the room. She was quickly out of Bai Chen’s sight. Bai Chen did not have a chance to say anything.
Bai Chen could not help but shake his head. He was quite grateful to her. If not for her, no one would have helped him. He would still be lying there until his wounds got infected.
He thought that if Lu Zhi Yun happened to need his help in the future, he would help her without hesitation in order to repay her.
He suddenly realised that he did know how long he had been unconscious. He looked out the window.
The sky was completely dark. It was already nighttime.
‘I have to hurry home,’ Bai Chen thought.
It was already nighttime. If he returned home late, his parents would definitely be worried.
Bai Chen took out his own clothes and changed, even though he still had bloody bandages on his chest.
However, they were covered by his clothes, so he did not have to worry that his parents would see them.
After changing, Bai Chen left the room and returned home.
............................................................
“Little Chen, you’re back.”
In less than half an hour, he reached home. Bai Chang, his father, was waiting for him out front.
“I’m home, father.” Bai Chen smiled. He felt very happy that he could protect his parents and the Xing Seng business district.
Even though that main problem called Wang Chengye was still out there, it was good enough for the time being.
“Come in. Your mother prepared food for us. Let’s eat.” Bai Chang got up from his seat and led the way inside the house.
Bai Chen stood still and looked at Bai Chang’s back. He could not help but smile.
He followed his father inside and walked towards the dining table. There were several appetizing dishes and warm cooked rice on plates.
Bai Yu, his mother, was sitting and waiting for him there. “You’re finally here, little Chen. Your father and I were waiting.”
Bai Chen could not help but smile. “I’m sorry, mother.”
“Forget about it. Come and sit.” Bai Yu made a hand gesture to call him to his seat.
Bai Chen did not hesitate to walk toward his seat. His heart was filled with nothing but happiness.
They started to eat. The atmosphere was certainly a happy and warm one.
