Free Web NovelChapter 4094: Chapter 4113: Expelled?
Helping the Xu Family settle the matter of retreat is just a trivial task for Lin Chen.
It’s like a logistics order for Chenxing Logistics, easily completed, and in this matter, he also subdued the Cosmic Ghost, adding a powerful weapon to his arsenal. Speaking of which, he made a big profit.
Lin Chen and others are now living in White Cloud Manor, spending their days leisurely except for training Xu Qingchuan, as they no longer face financial pressure.
They originally had money in their pockets, and now with the Huang Family’s prescriptions in hand, they can manufacture Eighth Level Promotion Potions at any time, so how could they lack money?
Upon completing the rescue mission, Xu Qingshan gave him a generous reward.
Lin Chen originally didn’t want to accept it, but Xu Qingshan stated clearly that without Lin Chen’s help, not only would everyone have died, but all the valuable important materials would have been destroyed, causing significant losses to the Tianheng Group.
This money is a reward but also a token of gratitude.
Xu Qingshan said he thought long and hard but didn’t know what gift would express his gratitude, so he decided to give money, which is common in such rescue situations. He couldn’t not give it just because they are friends, right?
If Lin Chen didn’t accept it, then if Xu Qingshan faces trouble again in the future and wants Lin Chen’s help, he would be embarrassed to ask.
Xu Qingshan spoke sincerely, so Lin Chen accepted it.
The money was received with a clear conscience.
If he hadn’t arrived in time, Planet 834 would have been engulfed by the Cosmic Ghost, and everything would have been destroyed.
Lin Chen originally thought Xu Qingshan would ask about the Cosmic Ghost, as such a big array wouldn’t go unnoticed by people in the base, but Xu Qingshan didn’t mention a word about it.
Smart!
Lin Chen originally thought helping the Xu Family relocate their star project personnel was a minor issue, but it unexpectedly drew a lot of attention and, even more unexpectedly, brought trouble to his doorstep.
"Ding-dong!"
The doorbell rang, and the light curtain on Lin Chen’s watch popped up, clearly displaying two unfamiliar men standing at the entrance.
"Who are you looking for?"
The leading man at the door showed his work ID: "I am Zhang Chengfeng from the Martial Arts Management Bureau, here to see Lin Chen."
Lin Chen opened the room door and came down from upstairs.
Martial Arts Management Bureau? ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
What do they want with me?
Lin Chen, filled with doubt, met the two men and calmly asked, "What do you need from me?"
Zhang Chengfeng produced a document and handed it to Lin Chen, saying in a deep voice, "According to our investigation, your presence poses a threat to the stability of Planet 11. Based on the regulations of the Martial Arts Bureau, we have decided to make you leave Planet 11 within three days. Otherwise, you will be seen as resisting law enforcement, and we will enforce it forcibly."
Lin Chen widened his eyes, looking puzzled, "Threat to stability? What did I do to make you feel I’m a threat?"
Zhang Chengfeng’s face remained calm and his tone was firm as he said, "We have internal criteria for judgment, which you don’t need to know. All you need to know is that Planet 11 doesn’t welcome you."
Lin Chen was startled by the other’s words.
Earlier, they had discussed the Martial Arts Management Bureau, saying that the institution had great power and behaved arrogantly. He didn’t expect such arrogance to fall upon him.
To be forcibly expelled based on an unfounded potential threat is over the top!
Lin Chen remained calm, lightly tapping the document with his finger, "May I ask, who is responsible for this document? Who’s the signatory?"
Zhang Chengfeng said coldly, "You don’t need to know."
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "No, I need to know. Do you want to take the responsibility for this? Can you even afford the responsibility?"
Zhang Chengfeng was about to speak, but suddenly felt his whole body tighten, and his back’s hair stood up straight.
He suddenly felt a fear of being locked on by a fierce tiger, about to be attacked the next second.
Lin Chen didn’t do anything, yet Zhang Chengfeng felt trapped in an endless swamp, with a sense of sinking ever deeper.
Raising his eyes, Zhang Chengfeng saw Lin Chen’s cold gaze, and a shiver ran through his heart. He subconsciously replied, "This document was approved by Vice Director Luo..."
Lin Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly, a smile curling up his mouth, "Luo Chenglin?"
Zhang Chengfeng felt a thud in his heart, nodded with a stiff neck, and said, "Yes."
Lin Chen withdrew his intimidating stance and spoke softly, "Alright, you can go now."
Zhang Chengfeng, covered in cold sweat, dared not linger and quickly left.
Under Lin Chen’s gaze, he felt like he’d die any second.
Though he was a Seventh-level Warrior himself, standing before Lin Chen made him feel insignificant, like an insect looking up at a giant in the clouds.
Lin Chen took the document to the cultivation room, where Xu Qingchuan was seated cross-legged, practicing within an array formed by Spirit Stones.
Since embarking on his cultivation path, he has become increasingly calm.
Upon hearing footsteps, Xu Qingchuan opened his eyes, looking at Lin Chen who held a paper with a serious expression, and asked, "What’s going on, Brother Chen? Why the solemn face?"
Lin Chen laughed, "We’ve been expelled."
Xu Qingchuan asked in confusion, "Expelled? What happened?"
Lin Chen handed the document to Xu Qingchuan, who quickly scanned it and his face immediately changed color.
"Damn it, who issued this document?"
Lin Chen replied, "Vice Director Luo Chenglin."
Xu Qingchuan raised his head suddenly, surprisedly asking, "That turtle grandson Luo Yuchen’s father?"
Lin Chen nodded, "Yes."
Xu Qingchuan rolled up from the ground, opened the watch on his wrist, and said, "Why such a random expulsion? You don’t have much intersection with them. Oh right, you recently helped Tianheng Group rescue someone, that must’ve caught their attention. Wait, I’ll call my dad."
Lin Chen frowned. Was helping the Tianheng Group the reason for their expulsion?
Is that really the case?
Lin Chen had thought his activities in East Third District might have drawn suspicion, but now it seems that’s not the case?
Xu Qingchuan called Xu Shaohua and explained the situation simply. Xu Shaohua immediately became angry on the other end.
"A bunch of gutter rats. Tell Lin Chen, I’ll handle this matter, let them not worry."
"Alright!"
Xu Qingchuan hung up and confidently said, "These people might be trying to rattle the snake by hitting the grass, deliberately issuing such an expulsion document to force Xu Family’s hand..."
Lin Chen asked, "Who are they?"
Xu Qingchuan sighed, "Although our Tianheng Group seems glamorous, we actually have rivals, and not just one, but a large group of them."
Lin Chen laughed, "Elaborate."
