Free Web NovelChapter 337: Chapter 336: I Have a Little Pull Around Here
The socialite who had helped Gu Chen over earlier was completely bewildered. ’How did Chu He get involved in this?’
This socialite’s favorite pastime was studying how to hook a rich man.
Even so, she had heard of Chu He’s reputation.
Her eyes darted around in their sockets.
But soon, the glimmer that had just lit up her eyes vanished back into their depths.
The socialite had a realistic sense of her own standing.
A man like Chu He was someone she’d never have a chance with—not in this life, not in the next, nor the one after that.
Not unless she was born into the right family would she ever have the opportunity to get close to him.
Soon, two ambulances arrived, one after the other.
With the help of several other paramedics, Meng Fan and Gu Chen were both loaded into the ambulances.

「Inside the private room of the mountain resort.」
This exceptionally lavish private room stood proudly atop the main building, commanding the most enchanting view.
The room’s location was uniquely blessed. From within, the view was vast and unobstructed, offering a panoramic vista of more than half the resort.
Villas were nestled harmoniously among the lush, green woods,
while the winding paths below were woven with light.
By now, the sun had completely sunk below the horizon, but the resort was brilliantly lit.
The myriad lights twinkled like countless stars, not only illuminating the night but also painting the sky in a bright yet gentle glow,
tinged with a faint, bluish-white luster that was intoxicatingly beautiful.
The interior design of the room was a masterpiece of ingenuity, perfectly blending classical and modern aesthetics.
The surrounding walls were adorned with hand-painted landscape scrolls by famous artists. Each piece was so vivid and full of life it seemed to transport the viewer through time and space, to wander through an ethereal realm of misty mountains and tranquil waters.
These artworks not only enhanced the artistic atmosphere of the space but also filled the room with a transcendent and refined air.
The furniture in the room was all crafted from the finest selection of natural wood.
Meticulously carved by master artisans, the pieces had smooth lines and a warm, gentle texture.
Upon entering the room, the faint scent of wood drifted through the air.
Crystal-clear spring water flowed through the crevices of a miniature rockery. The trickling sound was crisp and pleasant, like pearls dropping onto a jade plate.
As Chu He, Sun Canxing, and Yu Qiming took their seats in turn,
a line of maids dressed in light, gauzy robes entered silently, their steps as graceful as celestial fairies treading on clouds.
On the trays in their hands were all sorts of pre-dinner desserts and fresh fruits, colorful and tantalizing.
And their light, gauzy robes, semi-transparent under the soft lighting, outlined their graceful figures, sparking the imagination.
For Sun Canxing, who came from a humble background and knew only of burying her head in arduous training,
her cheeks unconsciously flushed red, and her heart began to race.
"To be honest, I never expected Mr. Chu to visit a third-tier city like ours.
Among all the third-tier cities in the Great Xia Empire, Haitong City is the most unremarkable one.
I was wondering, is there a particular reason for your visit, Mr. Chu?
I have some influence in this little patch of land, so I was wondering if there’s anything I can help with."
Yu Qiming wore a polite smile,
but his words were three parts truth and seven parts falsehood.
His main goal was to see if Chu He had truly come because of Sun Canxing.
If he had come specifically for her,
then Yu Qiming would have to steel himself to make a significant sacrifice to resolve the matter.
But if it was just a coincidence, then there would be much more room for maneuvering.
"Don’t beat around the bush with me.
I’m just passing through Haitong City and won’t be staying long,
but since I’ve come across Sun Canxing’s case, I will see it through to the end."
Chu He stated bluntly, "Given the current situation on Blue Star and within the Great Xia Empire,
a young Martial Artist seedling like her is the foundation for the future survival of the Great Xia Empire and all its people.
Your and your father’s actions have crossed my bottom line."
Chu He’s words were utterly blunt, causing Yu Qiming’s heart to sink.
’This won’t be easy to resolve today.’ This was the worst-case scenario, the very one Yu Qiming had hoped to avoid.
However, Yu Qiming’s reaction was swift. "Mr. Chu is right.
Although our family has considerable influence in Haitong City, my father and I were ultimately short-sighted.
Now that Mr. Chu has pointed it out, I feel as if I’ve been suddenly enlightened.
Regarding Sun Canxing’s situation, our family will definitely provide compensation that satisfies Sun Canxing, her parents, and you.
As for a mentor, I will do everything in my power to find the best one in Haitong City.
Furthermore, I will fund the purchase of a storefront in a prime location for Sun Canxing’s mother.
And our family will take full responsibility for her father’s injuries.
We will send him to the best hospital in the Great Xia Empire to receive the best treatment, at any cost.
We will ensure Sun Canxing’s father recovers his health as quickly as possible.
If Mr. Chu has anything else to add, please don’t hesitate to say so.
After all, my father and I were truly in the wrong this time.
I also hope Mr. Chu can give my father and me a chance to make amends."
Chu He was rather surprised by this.
He had expected Yu Qiming to come up with all sorts of miscellaneous excuses to brush things off,
to try and absolve himself of guilt before offering compensation.
He hadn’t thought Yu Qiming would directly take all the blame onto himself and his father.
"Sun Canxing, what do you think?" Chu He asked.
"I... I’ll leave it all to Mr. Chu’s judgment." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Sun Canxing had never been in a situation like this.
When she first arrived, she had mentally prepared herself, determined to be confrontational.
But after coming to the resort, the series of events had left Sun Canxing completely flustered.
Especially now, Yu Qiming’s attitude was something she wouldn’t have even dared to imagine before.
Sun Canxing wasn’t sure if this act Yu Qiming was putting on was genuine or fake.
"Well, since you’re leaving it up to me, then I agree.
I hope you can implement what you just said as soon as possible, because as I said, I won’t be staying in Haitong City for long.
But I won’t leave until you’ve done it.
If you waste my time, I don’t mind making you and your father disappear from Haitong City entirely.
After all, I’m sure many people and factions in Haitong City would be more than happy to see you and your father fall."
Chu He’s merciless words
almost broke through Yu Qiming’s deep composure; a muscle in the corner of his eye twitched twice.
He struggled to maintain his outward calm and said, "Rest assured, Mr. Chu.
When I return tonight, I will expedite the process and personally oversee it to completion.
I absolutely will not waste Mr. Chu’s time."
Although Sun Canxing had said she would leave it all up to Chu He, when she heard his answer,
an undeniable flash of deep disappointment crossed her eyes.
What Sun Canxing truly wanted was for Chu He to step in and completely eradicate Yu Qiming and his father.
As long as those two remained in Haitong City, they would be a nightmare from which many people could never escape.
The father and son duo, along with their entire family, had done too many shady things in Haitong City,
many of which were shocking and outrageous.
But since Chu He had spoken, it meant the matter was set in stone,
and could no longer be changed.
Sun Canxing could only sigh in her heart.
Meanwhile, Yu Qiming was secretly overjoyed. He had already prepared himself to make a painful sacrifice,
but he never expected Chu He to let the matter go so easily.
In his eyes, the compensation for Sun Canxing’s entire family was just a drop in the bucket.
This made Yu Qiming’s smile instantly radiant.
He immediately picked up the glass of wine before him, drained it in one gulp, and let out a long breath. "Sun Canxing, I formally apologize to you here. I am truly sorry."
Then he refilled his glass and drained it again.
He looked at Chu He sincerely. "And thank you, Mr. Chu, for giving my father and me a chance to make amends."
