Chapter 65: Chapter 65 The One Who Comes to Do Harm
Su Chen was so desperate to gain power because of a thorn buried deep in his heart, the truth about his parents' death.
At that time, Su Chen was too young to remember anything, and he only had a vague impression of the Su Family's large courtyard.
After his parents died suddenly, he was cast out; had he not encountered Old Ghost Master during his wandering, he might not even be alive now!
Over the years, he had tried hard to investigate the truth about what happened back then, but even with the Nether Temple's powerful intelligence capabilities, he still hadn't managed to clarify the matter.
On the surface, it seemed like an internal power struggle within the Su Family, but Su Chen had a feeling from some small clues that the truth might be far more complicated.
Hidden behind it all seemed to be an even darker conspiracy!
Su Chen knew that to tear a hole in the conspiracy, he must possess a powerful force! Otherwise, everything would be in vain!
The top-tier magnate families in Huaxia were not just for show; their profound heritage was beyond everyone's imagination.
.....
"Su Chen, wait up!"
Just off work, Su Chen was about to go to the garage to get his car when a voice came from behind.
Su Chen stopped and turned around to see Lin Chao chasing after him, a bit out of breath, but with a warm smile on his face.
"What's up?" Su Chen asked, somewhat puzzled.
Lin Chao had come to the company three days after Su Chen joined, and Lin Ruoxue had arranged for him the position of marketing director; after all, he was the eldest legitimate grandson of the Lin Family, and Lin Ruoxue couldn't possibly assign him a minor role.
The reason he was made marketing director was that the deputy director was Lin Ruoxue's confidant.
Lin Ruoxue had been in the business world for so long, she naturally wouldn't be so naive as to not be cautious of others.
In these days, Su Chen had seen him a few times, and he always pretended not to recognize Su Chen, not even a nod of acquaintance.
Su Chen naturally didn't pay him any mind—he always treated others with the respect they gave him.
But why was Lin Chao stopping him now? Instinctively, Su Chen felt this guy definitely wasn't harboring any good intentions.
"What, are you heading home?" Lin Chao jogged a few steps and came up to Su Chen.
Su Chen nodded but didn't speak, waiting for him to continue.
"Are you free tonight?" Lin Chao patted Su Chen's shoulder affectionately, as if they were close, "We haven't had a one-on-one get-together since you started at the company, have we?"
"We're relatives after all, we should communicate more, we're all family, right?"
"Better not, I appreciate the thought," Su Chen replied.
Su Chen didn't really want to deal with someone like Lin Chao, but to not make things difficult for Lin Ruoxue, he maintained a cordial facade.
"Su Chen, if you don't agree, it means you look down on me." Lin Chao deliberately put on a serious face, but then winked, whispering in Su Chen's ear, "I heard that Yun Tian Club has some pretty girls, we should go and have some fresh experiences together!"
Without waiting for Su Chen to respond, Lin Chao grabbed Su Chen's arm and headed toward his car:
"Don't worry, I won't tell Ruoxue, this is our secret as men."
With things having progressed to this point, Su Chen no longer declined and got into Lin Chao's Mercedes, curious to see what Lin Chao was up to.
It was the peak of rush hour, and what should have been about a twenty-minute car ride took almost an hour.
The two first settled into a small room and had a quick bite, then made their way to a VIP suite.
As they walked down the corridor to the suite, Xiao Yaning also came toward them.
Lin Chao saw Xiao Yaning smiling and instinctively thought she was smiling at him.
At that moment, there were only two people in the corridor: him and Su Chen. Lin Chao absolutely did not believe that a woman like Xiao Yaning would ever acknowledge someone dressed in a driver's uniform, looking like a loser like Su Chen.
"Miss Xiao."
Lin Chao's mouth curved up fifteen degrees in a standard smile, though his gaze occasionally drifted to Xiao Yaning's slender legs beneath her cheongsam.
"Mr. Lin, welcome," Xiao Yaning said as a matter of etiquette before turning to Su Chen with a smile, "Big Brother Su, you've arrived!"
Her manner was very casual, as if they were old friends.
Because of Ye Mei, the two of them had grown quite familiar with each other, and she knew that Su Chen was a carefree and relaxed person.
"Why isn't she here?"
Xiao Yaning looked behind her and didn't see Ye Mei, which she found odd, because he usually came with Ye Mei.
"I came with some friends today," Su Chen smiled.
"Oh, I see! So today you're here to do something naughty!"
She suddenly whispered close to Su Chen's ear. Xiao Yaning had been wondering why Su Chen would come to the massage room area, and it turned out that Ye Mei hadn't come with him.
It seems men can't resist the temptation to stray!
Although this place did not provide erotic services, having those sprightly young girls press against you was indeed very enjoyable.
And many customers couldn't help but take advantage of the young girls—it was very normal.
"What are you talking about! I'm just here to relax with my friend."
Seeing Xiao Yaning's suggestive smile, Su Chen knew she got the wrong idea.
"Don't worry, I won't tell Ye Mei," Xiao Yaning said with a knowing look.
"I will call over a couple of our top girls to take good care of Big Brother Su."
Before Su Chen could explain, Xiao Yaning already walked away with graceful steps and a twisting slender waist.
"Su Chen, it seems you're a regular here, I underestimated you." Lin Chao thought Su Chen knew Xiao Yaning because he frequented this place for massages, so he asked in a low voice, "What did Miss Xiao say to you just now?"
"Nothing much, just small talk," Su Chen replied offhandedly.
"Su Chen, considering we are practically family, let me give you a heads up," Lin Chao suddenly said with a serious expression, "Although it's normal for a man to have his indulgences outside, this Xiao Yaning is not just anyone, and you must never set your sights on her."
"Oh? Why's that?"
Su Chen tilted his head and asked. Although he was quite familiar with Xiao Yaning, he didn't know much about her background. After all, they hadn't known each other for long, and it wasn't polite to pry into personal matters without her offering that information.
"This Xiao Yaning is the only daughter of the Xiao Family, just like our Lin Family, they are considered a second-tier family in Jiangnan. But that's not the key point. The crucial thing is, Xiao Yaning is the woman Lv Shixin, the Young Master of the Lv Family, has taken a liking to. He's already made it clear that he'd fight anyone who dares to lay a finger on Xiao Yaning."
Lin Chao lowered his voice intentionally as he spoke,
"Do you know the status of the Lv Family? They are one of the Four Great Families. Once Lv Shixin has spoken, who else would dare to pursue Xiao Yaning? Only someone with a death wish."
Lin Chao was intentionally trying to ingratiate himself with Su Chen today, so he shared everything he knew without reservation, showing a completely open-hearted attitude.
