Huaxia, Tianhai Airport!
With exaggerated frog-eye sunglasses on his face and a canvas bag on his back, Xiao Chen walked out of the airport, stretched lazily, and took a deep breath!
"Nothing beats the air in Huaxia!"
After a decade away from home, Xiao Chen had finally returned to this land that had given him life!
Just as Xiao Chen stepped out of the airport, five Bentley cars suddenly made their approach.
The sight caused those nearby to look on involuntarily, not because they had never seen a Bentley, but because such a display of five cars at once was truly rare!
Given the scene, it was obvious that these five cars had come to pick someone up, and onlookers were curious to know which big shot warranted such an entourage.
The doors of all five cars opened in unison, and an elegant woman emerged from the first car.
Dressed in a black business suit with her hair tied up in a high ponytail, she wore glasses, had a pretty face, and a slim figure, exuding an intellectual charm from head to toe.
This woman was just over twenty, but judging by the respectful attitudes around her, her status must not be low.
After scanning the crowd, her gaze finally fell on Xiao Chen, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on her face.
"Hello! May I ask if you are Mr. Xiao Chen?"
The woman briskly walked up to Xiao Chen and bowed deeply.
Xiao Chen looked indifferent, tilting his head as he regarded her.
"I don't think I know you!"
The woman was slightly taken aback; she was confident in her charm and had not expected such a cold response—no man had ever spoken to her like this before upon meeting her.
However, hearing this answer, she was sure the person before her was Xiao Chen and immediately introduced herself respectfully, "My name is Su Lan! Mr. Bai sent me to pick you up! I've seen your photo!"
"Oh? Mr. Bai? Bai Jingchen?" Xiao Chen's expression immediately darkened, and he sneered, "That little bastard sure has grown quite the attitude!"
Xiao Chen's words made the expressions of those around change.
What kind of status did Bai Jingchen have in Tianhai City? If he wasn't calling the shots, he could shake the city with a mere stomp of his foot!
This guy dared to call him "little bastard"?
If Bai Jingchen heard this, who knew how he'd teach this ignoramus a lesson!
Unexpectedly to everyone, Su Lan did not show any sign of displeasure but rather seemed to read Xiao Chen's displeasure and quickly explained, "Mr. Xiao, please don't mind. Mr. Bai truly had important matters today, so he couldn't offer you a reception! But, he has arranged for you the most famous hotel and bathhouse in Tianhai City to wash away the journey!"
"Moreover, Mr. Bai said he will definitely come personally to apologize to you later!"
As Su Lan spoke, she watched Xiao Chen's expression, fearing that any wrong words might offend this formidable man.
But Xiao Chen wasn't planning to take any of it at all!
"Tell Bai Jingchen, I'm not interested in what's the most famous hotel! Has this kid grown wings now, thinking he can throw money at me?"
Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow: "Do I look like I've never seen money?"
Su Lan's body trembled; Bai Jingchen had warned her that this man was famously arrogant, never giving face to things he disliked. Now having met him, Su Lan got a real taste of his character!
However, as Su Lan was pondering how to explain herself to Xiao Chen, a man walked up from behind her. This man was dressed in an expensive suit, a luxury watch worth hundreds of thousands on his wrist and a disdainful expression as he looked at Xiao Chen.
"Don't be ungrateful for the face given! Mr. Bai sending so many people to pick you up is already showing you a lot of respect. Who do you think you are? Dressing like a beggar, I really don't know how Mr. Bai could know someone as poor as you!"
The man shook his head in contempt as he approached Xiao Chen, not disguising his disdain in the least.
Xiao Chen was briefly taken aback, not because he was frightened by the man, but because...
It had been many years since anyone dared to talk to him like that!
"Are you talking to me?"
Xiao Chen looked indifferent, turning to face the man.
"Are you deaf or is your brain not functioning? Do you think I'm talking to someone else? Is there anyone here who looks more like a beggar than you?"
The man showed no fear of Xiao Chen, his courage undoubtedly stemming from the dozen or so strong bodyguards standing behind him!
"Good! How bold! I like people with guts!"
A slight smile curved up the corners of Xiao Chen's mouth, and just as the man was about to spout a few more words, he suddenly felt a darkness before his eyes, followed by a burning sensation on his face!
Slap!
The man felt a powerful force hit his face, his mind lost all ability to think in an instant, only feeling himself spinning countless circles in the air!
In fact, the man did spin around in the air like a top several times, and during the rotation, he spat out several teeth!
Bang!
The man hit the ground, while the others were completely clueless about what had just happened!
But at that moment, Xiao Chen shook his hand and spoke indifferently, "I haven't slapped a face for too long, my technique has gotten rusty. He should have spun a few more times!"
Su Lan was dumbfounded, only then realizing that it had been Xiao Chen who had struck!
Even so, she was still extremely shocked. With so many people around, no one had seen when or how the man had made his move!
No wonder Mr. Bai feels a sense of serious dread when he mentions this man!
Su Lan's eyes shifted, her expression growing tenser, "Mr. Xiao, I apologize on his behalf, I hope you can be magnanimous and forgive his ignorance!"
"He's still breathing, which means I've already shown mercy!" Xiao Chen let out a cold laugh, looking at the man lying on the ground half-dead, "Usually, I would just kill someone like him. He should thank the harmonious society for saving him!"
Su Lan hardly dared to breathe, this man was even more arrogant than she had heard, his life could be in danger at any disagreement!
"Yes, yes! He didn't know who you were, so he spoke out of turn..."
Su Lan said, trying to appear calm.
But Xiao Chen suddenly raised an eyebrow, "So, Bai Jingchen told you about me?"
Su Lan was taken aback, unsure of how to respond, afraid that one wrong word might anger Xiao Chen again.
However, Xiao Chen didn't seem very interested in this matter and just waved his hand, "Tell Bai Jingchen that I am very unhappy with today's incident!"
Xiao Chen dropped this statement and was about to walk out of the airport!
Upon hearing this, Su Lan knew something was wrong and immediately followed him, "Mr. Xiao, Mr. Bai really has an important matter... Last night, Mr. Bai's mother had a heart attack, and she's still in resuscitation. Mr. Bai has been at the hospital for the whole night!"
Xiao Chen stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at Su Lan, and after a long gaze, he gave a slight nod, "So that's the reason..."
"Alright then! It's my fault for not asking clearly! This incident is not his fault," Xiao Chen's face finally softened, "Tell him not to rush over, we can talk about whatever matters after his mother's health improves!"
Su Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief and also understood that although this man could be arrogant, he was reasonable after all!
"So, what do we do now..."
Su Lan asked cautiously, while Xiao Chen simply got into the car.
"Take me home!"
"Okay!"
Su Lan signaled the others with a look, and everyone promptly got into their vehicles.
It was then that someone came over and whispered to Su Lan, "Miss Su, what about him..."
Of course, he was referring to the man who had just been knocked unconscious by Xiao Chen's slap.
Su Lan looked down at the man on the ground with a flash of disgust and iciness in her eyes.
"A useless piece of trash who's blind to what's in front of him—Tianchen Group does not need him! When he wakes up, give him some money and send him off! Tell him to get out of Tianhai City forever!"
