chapter 43 Dating a young lady

"Looks like you need another spray!" Allen Chen picked up the fire extinguisher and sprayed it directly. "Ah!" Mike almost choked. "Stop, stop spraying! I'll talk!" "It was Mr. Cui's idea." "Which Mr. Cui? Speak clearly." Allen Chen's eyes narrowed, though he already had a hunch. Mike quickly answered, "It's Mr. Cui from Tiantong Group, Jackson Cui!" "How can you prove you're telling the truth? Not trying to trick me, are you?" Allen Chen inquired. Mike immediately pulled out his phone. "I have a recording!" "Mr. Cui's personal bodyguard, Baldie, asked me to do this. I swear I'm not lying! Bro, see for yourself if you don't believe me!" "Throw the phone over," Allen Chen ordered. Mike grumbled internally, “Damn, this kid's too cautious!” He had initially planned to stab Allen Chen while handing over the phone. But seeing Allen Chen's alert posture, with the fire extinguisher nozzle still aimed at him, Mike's face alternated between shades of pale and red. "Well, can't throw it?" "I can, of course I can!" Mike hurriedly slid the phone across the floor. Allen Chen signaled, "Ava Liu, pick up the phone." "Okay." Although Ava Liu was a bit scared by the situation, she rushed over upon hearing his command and picked up the phone. "It has a passcode lock." "What's the code?" Allen Chen stared at Mike. "Get to the point. Don't test my patience." "Yes, it's six sixes!" Mike replied. Ava Liu entered the passcode and unlocked the device. Clicking on the audio file, the recording played exactly as Mike had described. "Is this recording valid?" "It works," Allen Chen said with a smile. Suddenly, Mike lunged at him from the ground, yelling, "I'll kill you!" "Watch out!" Ava Liu's face drained of color. Allen Chen was taken aback. He hadn't expected someone who'd been stabbed multiple times and sprayed with a fire extinguisher to move so aggressively still. But he didn't show any fear. He quickly pulled something out, and "Zzzz!" "Ahhhh!" Mike convulsed wildly, eyes rolling back and foam spilling from his mouth before he collapsed unconscious. William Du saw this and thought, Damn, another electric baton! "That was close," Allen Chen said with a slight smile, looking at him. William Du went pale. "Brother... Brother Chen, let's talk. Let's talk!" "Is there anything left for us to discuss?" Allen Chen smiled and lifted the fire extinguisher again. William Du's hidden hand trembled, thinking, He's not giving me any chances! "Brother Chen, I'll give you 500,000. I swear I'll never bother you again. Let me go, okay?" "You're that rich?" "I'm the son of the third-largest shareholder of Wansheng Group. 500,000 is no problem," William Du quickly explained. Allen Chen's eyes sparkled. "So you must know a lot about the Wansheng Group?" "Of course." "Tell me a few things," Allen Chen pressed. "Well..." William Du hesitated, "What do you want to know?" "You tell me." "Our group has always been eyeing the Bin City Paradise Estates property. It seems there's a secret there. The backer has given a firm order. No matter the cost, it must be secured!" William Du stuttered. Allen Chen just said, "Go on." "There's also the fact that the Chairman has an affair with his sister-in-law. That's all I know," William Du said bitterly. Both Allen Chen and Ava Liu were surprised. The Chairman of the Wansheng Group was involved in such a scandal! After evaluating William Du and deeming he had no more information, Allen Chen said, "Leave the money and get lost." "Yes, yes!" William Du hastily pulled out a card and rushed into the elevator. Allen Chen picked up the card and said, "Quickly pack our things. We need to leave this place." "Okay." Ava Liu nodded, glancing at the groaning thugs and gangsters in the corridor. She didn't want to stay here any longer. After packing their things and exiting the elevator, Joe Wang arrived upon hearing the news, showing deep concern. "Brother Allen, are you okay?" "We're all fine." Allen Chen shook his head. Joe Wang sighed in relief. "This place is too dangerous. I'll get you into another hotel right away!" "This time, I guarantee no one will dare to cause trouble." Saying this, he settled the hotel bill. The receptionist at the front desk seemed embarrassed, keeping her head down the entire time. Seeing her like this, Allen Chen inferred something had occurred. He smiled and said, "Young lady, we don't blame you." The receptionist's face changed to one of fear, stammering, "I... I..." "It's okay." Allen Chen gently patted her shoulder. "Brother Joe, let's go." "Okay." Joe Wang promptly headed out. Watching them leave, the receptionist couldn't hold back her tears, murmuring, "I'm sorry." In reality, it wasn't her fault. After all, being threatened by a menacing character like Mike, who would dare not comply among ordinary people? The car moved through the streets. After the recent events, Ava Liu's trust in Allen Chen grew stronger, even offering her thigh for him to rest his head on. Allen Chen, however, declined. "There's no rush. We'll have plenty of time later." "Brother Joe, let's not go to the hotel. Let's head to the Tiandi Bath Center." "Brother Chen, why go there?" Joe Wang asked in surprise. "You're not planning to pick a fight with Mr. Cui, are you? That's not a good idea!" "Don't worry, I won't fight. I'll make him kneel and beg before me!" A cold smile played on Allen Chen's lips. When a man got angry, blood spilled all around! Ever since that transformative day, he had secretly vowed to rise to the top, never to be seen as weak! Whoever dared to cross him would feel his wrath! Dare to scheme against me? Even if you were an emperor, I'd pull you down from your throne! Entering the bath center, the young lady who had guided him and Ava Liu the previous day greeted him. Wearing a seductive qipao, she smiled sweetly, "Boss Chen, you're here." "In just one day, you seem even more beautiful and voluptuous." Allen Chen teased, playfully pinching her buttock. "You're driving me crazy." She feigned indignation, "Oh my, Boss Chen, you're so naughty." "Ha! Quite the bounce there." Allen Chen grinned, slipping some cash into her qipao, "Are you free tonight?" "Are you asking me out, Boss Chen?" "Otherwise, why would I ask if you're available?" Allen Chen joked, giving her a quick peck. She playfully pushed him away, "You're so bad. We've only known each other for a few days, and you already have naughty thoughts about me." "When you're this gorgeous and sexy, any normal man would want to be with you," Allen Chen chuckled. "So, won't you give me a chance?" "You're so cheeky, Boss Chen," the young lady replied with a teasing gleam in her eyes, a hint of a smile on her lips. "Tonight at eleven, at the Fragrant Hills Hotel." "Just give me a call when you're ready." "Okay!" As Allen Chen leaned in to whisper, "First, let's get down to business. Is Mr. Cui still here?" "I've been watching out for you, in room 367." She giggled. "Hurry up. I'll be waiting." "I promise, you'll feel on top of the world later," Allen Chen grinned, turning to leave, his face turning serious again. Approaching the private room, he kicked the door open! Inside, Jackson Cui, who engaged with a few ladies, was taken aback, almost collapsing, angrily shouting, "Damn it! Who is it?"
