Chapter 4096: Chapter 4115: Defense Shattered!
Lin Chen directly asked, "Are you talking about Tianheng Group?"
Luo Yuchen said with a laugh, "Yes, it seems you people are well aware. Originally, if you did nothing and just enjoyed being tourists, perhaps no one would bother you. But since you chose to pick a side, you naturally must endure corresponding attacks."
Lin Chen asked curiously, "Xu Qingchuan and I are friends. Something happened to his family, and I lent a hand. Is that what you call picking a side?"
Luo Yuchen didn’t answer Lin Chen’s question and smiled slightly, "We can also be friends. What Xu Qingchuan can offer you, Tianheng Group can offer you, and we can also offer you—and even more."
Lin Chen replied coldly, "You?"
Luo Yuchen straightforwardly answered, "Of course, it’s not me alone. How much energy can a single person have? Making this phone call to contact you is only because I happened to have met you. Although it was just a brief encounter, we do know each other, don’t we?"
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "So you’re saying you came today as a spokesperson for your father, or rather for other forces on your side?"
Luo Yuchen openly admitted, "Yes, as long as you give up cooperation with the Xu family, we will provide you with a better environment and better rewards."
"The money Tianheng Group can give, we can also give. The power Tianheng Group cannot give, we can also provide. If you are a smart person, I think you should understand how to choose."
Lin Chen answered calmly, "Whether or not I am a smart person is not important. The important thing is that I don’t want to use what you’re offering because I’m a stubborn person. I don’t like being forced to bow my head."
Luo Yuchen laughed lightly, "In this world, there are always things we cannot control. Besides, what’s wrong with choosing something better? You can be friends with Xu Qingchuan, can’t I make friends too? Am I worse than him?"
Lin Chen sneered, "Let’s not talk about other things for now; at least, in one aspect, you’re not as good as him."
Xu Qingchuan beside him widened his eyes. He was also curious about what advantage he had in Lin Chen’s eyes.
Luo Yuchen asked, "Oh, really? Then go ahead and tell me, in what way am I not as good as him?"
Lin Chen snorted coldly, "At least he doesn’t look at my wife with lecherous eyes and calculate things in his head."
Xu Qingchuan’s face suddenly stiffened, and then he smiled bitterly with helplessness.
Originally, he wondered what Lin Chen was going to say, but it turned out to be this. But thinking about it, it made sense. What man could tolerate another man looking at his wife that way?
Someone as capable as Lin Chen wouldn’t tolerate such things, and if they weren’t in the Federation, Luo Yuchen might have been crushed by Lin Chen already on the spot.
As for himself, though he admired their beauty, he felt more admiration for Lin Chen and truly had no sordid thoughts.
This aspect, it must be said, he’s indeed more righteous than that lecherous Luo Yuchen!
Lin Chen’s words left Luo Yuchen defenseless, and he futilely tried to explain, "I didn’t know they were married when I met them. It’s normal to introduce myself. After I found out they were married, I didn’t pursue anything further, and I even wanted to make friends with you..."
Lin Chen interrupted Luo Yuchen’s words, snorted coldly, "Were you sincerely trying to befriend me? Shameless!"
Xu Qingchuan, next to him, gave Lin Chen a thumbs-up and couldn’t help but cheer, "Brother Chen, well said! He’s a sleazy guy with butter on the brain!"
Lin Chen’s words completely enraged Luo Yuchen, "Lin Chen, if you continue being stubborn, you’ll regret this."
Lin Chen curled his lips, "At worst, we’ll be expelled. Leaving Planet 11 is fine by me; what would I regret?"
Luo Yuchen, gnashing his teeth, said, "Just wait. You’ll regret what you said earlier." freewebnσvel.cѳm
Lin Chen sneered, "Oh really, then I’m really looking forward to it."
Luo Yuchen ended the phone call on the other end, and Lin Chen turned off the light curtain, raised his head, and asked, "The expulsion notice has been issued. Will they change their minds and detain us or something?"
Xu Qingchuan said angrily, "They wouldn’t dare! They can’t cover the sky on Planet 11 with one hand!"
Lin Chen thought for a moment, "Better to be cautious. If they come looking again, I’ll temporarily not show up. You can just say we went out and aren’t home."
Xu Qingchuan nodded, "Alright, Brother Chen, don’t worry. I’ll keep an eye on everything."
After Lin Chen left, Xu Qingchuan picked up the phone again to call his father, Xu Shaohua.
Upon hearing the whole situation, Xu Shaohua’s voice was icy, "They’re really planning to go after Lin Chen and others, killing the chicken to scare the monkey, targeting our Tianheng."
Xu Qingchuan asked, "What’s the current situation?"
Xu Shaohua replied coldly, "I called the director of the Martial Arts Management Bureau, but he made excuses, saying he’s sick and recovering, and that Luo Chenglin is handling everything."
"I called Luo Chenglin, and he spoke with sarcasm, saying everything is being done by the book, and told me not to obstruct their official duties..."
Xu Qingchuan said angrily, "Can nothing be done to stop it?"
Xu Shaohua answered in a deep voice, "I just called the Star Government Hall, and the planet governor’s secretary answered. He said he’ll look into it, but from his tone, someone must have already got to him. It might not be easily resolved."
Xu Qingchuan immediately felt the situation was troublesome, "Are they really targeting Lin Chen and the others?"
Xu Shaohua answered, "Yes, the choice is clever. The individuals in question theoretically don’t belong to Tianheng Group or our Xu family. Even if I make a call, many won’t genuinely help because there is no benefit for them."
Xu Qingchuan instantly understood.
If Tianheng Group was in trouble, many people would naturally help because everyone shares common interests, supporting each other. If Tianheng falls, it’s not good for anybody.
But now, with outsiders who have nothing to do with Tianheng, asking them to truly take action feels unworthy.
Originally, the new power faction is weaker than the local forces. Now, if no one extends a hand, how can we stop them from using procedures to suppress us?
"What can we do, just watch them be expelled? This clearly makes our Tianheng look bad. If we can’t protect them, who will dare to side with us in the future? Who will dare to help us?" free𝑤ebnovel.com
Xu Shaohua said calmly, "Don’t worry. There’s still time. If it comes to forced expulsion, I’ll mobilize Tianheng’s security department to designate an area as a training exercise zone, prohibiting others from entering, to block their subsequent actions..."
Xu Qingchuan asked in surprise, "Violent opposition?"
Xu Shaohua snorted coldly, "Although our Xu family is in business, it doesn’t mean we lack combat power. Since they’re pushing us, we’ll take the opportunity to show our strength..."
