Free Web NovelChapter 332: Chapter 331: Can You Really Act With Impunity in Haitong City?
And so, during this time, Sun Canxing had experienced so much human treachery that she found it impossible to guard against.
That was why, when Chu He revealed his identity, Sun Canxing actually found it hard to believe.
She suspected it might be yet another sinister plot cooked up by that rich young master, Yu Qiming.
"You can choose to believe me, or you can choose to doubt me.
The final choice is yours."
Chu He didn’t bother explaining the issue any further.
After all, once tonight’s gathering was over, many of the dark clouds hanging over Haitong City would dissipate.
Then he looked at Sun Canxing and said, "Some problems have to be dealt with sooner or later.
Simply hiding and putting up with it won’t make them back down. I think, given what you’ve been through recently, you understand what I’m saying."
Sun Canxing fell silent for a moment. When she looked up again, a new emotion had appeared in her eyes.
An emotion that could be called resolve.
Sun Canxing said solemnly, "Fine, I’ll trust you this once."
"You’ll be proud of the decision you made today," Chu He said with a smile.
"Decision? What decision?" Li Ping came over,
Ignoring the customers lined up for food, she grabbed her daughter’s hands in concern. "What decision have you made?
Are you really going to that party with them tonight?
You foolish girl, don’t you know what kind of people they are?
If worst comes to worst, we’ll just take that useless father of yours and leave Haitong City.
It’s not like Yu Qiming’s family is brazen enough to kill our entire family, are they?"
Clearly, Li Ping had already sensed the decision her daughter had made.
This caused the mother’s emotions to finally begin to fray. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Li Ping was genuinely panicked now.
"This problem has to be dealt with sooner or later."
Sun Canxing pulled her hands free from her mother’s grasp. "Otherwise, we’ll be tormented forever."
Sun Canxing didn’t tell her mother about Chu He’s identity,
Because in her mind, Chu He’s identity was still a question mark.
"Since you’ve made up your mind, get in my car."
Chu He had already turned and started walking toward the food street’s parking lot.
As he passed Gu Chen, he didn’t forget to add, "Don’t just stand there dazed.
I’ve already completed your task for you. We can head to the party location now."
Hearing Chu He’s voice, Gu Chen finally snapped out of it and hurried to catch up.
"Young Master He, do you know what you’re doing?
Or does your background really give you the confidence to act so fearlessly in Haitong City?
Yu Qiming and his family have never been clean. They have plenty of dirty, underhanded tricks up their sleeves.
Even if you’re the scion of a powerful family from a first-tier metropolis,
that lunatic Yu Qiming would still dare to make you ’disappear’ from Haitong City forever, without a trace.
Although the Yu family has always been entrenched in this small, third-tier city of Haitong,
their network of connections reaches the very highest echelons of the Great Xia Empire.
You have to understand, the person the Yu family truly relies on is a major figure at the National Road Academy,
and that major figure is associated with *the* Chu He."
Hearing this from Gu Chen, Chu He was left speechless.
’He had no idea how many locals actually believed the Yu family’s backing was just as Gu Chen had described it.’
’This was tantamount to people smearing his own name.’
"You’ve told me all this because you want to use me to get ahead, don’t you?
It’s just that you aren’t sure if my background is powerful enough to be a match for the Yu family,
so you don’t dare to openly show your hand. Instead, you just give me these ’unintentional’ little warnings,
making it look like you’re being helpful, when in reality you’re already hatching your own little schemes.
I imagine you’re even feeling a bit of excitement and anticipation right now, aren’t you?"
Chu He gave Gu Chen a profound look,
one that made Gu Chen feel as if a bucket of ice-cold water from the dead of winter had been dumped over him.
The bone-deep chill that shot through him instantly made his hair stand on end.
What Chu He had said was precisely what Gu Chen was truly thinking.
When Chu He had revealed his identity, Gu Chen had been surprised,
but he had also deliberately helped create an atmosphere where anyone who believed him would look like a fool,
thereby ensuring that the other rich scions wouldn’t believe that this Young Master He was actually Chu He, the number one expert on Blue Star.
The others were merely surprised when they first saw Chu He’s face,
but Gu Chen had been carefully observing Chu He’s every word and action.
The man’s aura, his speech, and his mannerisms all indicated that
even the top young masters from first or second-tier cities lacked Chu He’s kind of bearing.
After the massive turmoil in his heart, Gu Chen fell silent again before asking, "Young Master He, I need to know. Are you really Chu He?"
"Didn’t I tell you from the start? My real name is Chu He,"
Chu He glanced at Gu Chen and said with a smile.
"You’d better really be Chu He.
That Meng Fan holds a serious grudge.
He’ll tell Yu Qiming everything that just happened, and he’ll even embellish the story.
And Yu Qiming has an incredibly domineering personality here in Haitong City.
Even people in our circle of second-generation heirs have to be completely respectful and subservient around him.
Yu Qiming’s family made their fortune in mining. Later, they stumbled upon a Corpse Oil lode in Haitong City,
which also contained other strange resources. This allowed the Yu family’s capital to take another quantum leap.
Their family has the strength to move into second-tier city circles, but they’ve never been willing to leave.
If you aren’t the real Chu He, you’ll definitely be in for a world of hurt if you go to that party tonight,"
Gu Chen said earnestly.
"Aren’t you one of them?" fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Chu He asked, "If I recall correctly, you just told me
that you’re the president of the Haitong City Luxury Car Association, and Yu Qiming is the vice president.
Based on that relationship, the two of you should be quite close.
But everything you’ve said, both explicitly and implicitly, is a warning to be wary of Yu Qiming.
You’ve even gone out of your way to tell me just how tyrannical he is here.
Are you telling me that your relationship with him is all just an act?"
Gu Chen said no more.
As for Li Ping, watching her daughter resolutely choose to leave,
she slumped down onto a nearby chair, completely dejected.
Li Ping didn’t even have the strength to cook for the customers in line.
She had no idea whether fortune or disaster awaited her daughter.
"Get in my car."
Chu He and the others arrived at the parking lot.
He patted the hood of his black Rolls-Royce, gesturing for Sun Canxing to get in.
Sun Canxing hesitated for a moment, then her brow relaxed. She opened the passenger door and got in.
Just then, Meng Fan let out a cold smirk.
He pulled out his phone and recorded the entire process of Sun Canxing getting into the car and closing the door,
then sent the video to Yu Qiming.
Then he and his companions got into their own cars.
"Young Master He, follow my car."
Gu Chen pulled his Mercedes up beside Chu He’s car and spoke through the open window.
Then he drove out of the parking lot, and Chu He started his car and followed.
