He Yufei agreed so readily, which surprised Chen Jie.
He didn't say much more, but instead said, "I'll send you my address later. Come over tomorrow morning."
"I'm leaving now," Chen Jie said.
"Okay, I'll look for you tomorrow!" He Yufei nodded heavily.
Chen Jie originally intended to give her a ride, but He Yufei didn't see it that way.
She believed her beauty was no less than that of some wealthy young ladies, so it was normal for men to be attracted to her.
Chen Jie's suggestion that she accompany him to Wutai Mountain led her to misunderstand that Chen Jie wanted her to accompany him.
It's just that Chen Jie, mindful of their relationship, couldn't be too obvious.
Although He Yufei disliked Xing Tianci's harassment, she wasn't averse to Chen Jie's proposal. On the contrary, she was somewhat expectant.
He Yufei clenched her fists and thought to herself, "Chen Jie has been the object of my secret crush since childhood. If Chen Jie really wants to have me, then it's not impossible for me to agree..."
"Yin Manman, oh Yin Manman, you actually wanted to make Chen Jie look foolish. Such an excellent man, you must be blind to treat him as an enemy!" He Yufei thought to herself.
The murder of the Su family patriarch caused a great stir in Pingcheng.
Many people learned of the incident.
At the headquarters of the Martial Arts Association, Yin Chuji was sitting with a group of members.
A middle-aged man lay before them; it was Lu Ming.
Lu Ming's legs had been bandaged and the bleeding had stopped.
Lu Ming frantically said to the president, "President, Chen Jie is too arrogant, he actually disregards our Martial Arts Association! Avenge me!"
"He also told me to tell you all that if you dare to cause him trouble, I am your example!"
"What a bold fellow, to actually lay hands on our Martial Arts Association members!" the president roared.
"This Chen Jie truly doesn't know his place. Not only did he offend me, but he also disrespects the Martial Arts Association!" Yin Chuji said with a grim expression.
"Don't worry, I will get justice for you. By doing this, he has damaged our association's reputation!" the president said.
...
Meanwhile, Chen Jie had returned to Xishan Villa.
At the same time, he sent He Yufei his location.
He Yufei, on the other hand, chatted with Chen Jie.
"Hehe, you look a bit handsome today," He Yufei said.
Chen Jie was a little surprised and replied, "Remember not to be late tomorrow. Tell me if you have any difficulties."
"Mhmm, Chen Jie, thank you. By the way, how long will we be gone this time? If it's too long, I might need to bring more clothes. Also, if the expenses are too high, I might not be able to afford it," He Yufei replied.
Chen Jie smiled and replied, "Don't worry, I'm only planning to go for one day."
He originally wanted to explain that he was just giving He Yufei a ride, but seeing her enthusiasm, he didn't say too much.
He Yufei sent Chen Jie a playful emoji. Chen Jie entered the villa and saw Lin Mengjiao.
"Master, I've prepared all our daily necessities and bought a generator," Lin Mengjiao said excitedly.
This was her first time traveling in an RV, and she seemed very excited.
Chen Jie nodded, "There's no need to prepare too many things. We're only planning to go for a day or two and will return as soon as we're done."
Just then, the villa's doorbell rang.
"I'll get the door," Lin Mengjiao said.
"Chen Jie!"
In the courtyard, Jiang Xue followed Lin Mengjiao in hurriedly.
Before she even saw Chen Jie, she called out loudly.
Chen Jie stood up in surprise and looked towards the door.
Jiang Xue rushed in and said, "Chen Jie! What exactly did you do today?"
Jiang Xue was wearing an elegant formal outfit today.
A shirt on top and a skirt below.
Her derrière was quite perky.
"What are you doing here?" Chen Jie asked in surprise.
Jiang Xue said angrily, "If I didn't come, who knows what kind of trouble you would have stirred up! Tell me, did you kill the Su family patriarch?"
Chen Jie nodded, "I did."
"You still have the nerve to admit it!"
Jiang Xue said angrily, "Do you know the consequences of offending the Martial Arts Association?"
"Chen Jie, Chen Jie, are you always this impulsive? Do you know the consequences of your actions?" Jiang Xue said helplessly.
Chen Jie sized up Jiang Xue.
He found that Jiang Xue had changed compared to before.
The former Jiang Xue was a spoiled rich young lady.
But now, having managed the company these past few days, she naturally exuded a mature and steady aura.
"I am fully aware of what I have done, and I don't need you to teach me how to act," Chen Jie said calmly.
"You..." Jiang Xue pointed at Chen Jie, "I've already found out. Eighty percent of the martial artists in Pingcheng have joined the Martial Arts Association. Killing Su Meng is one thing, but you also broke the legs of Lu Ming, a director of the Martial Arts Association!"
"Chen Jie, do you want to be enemies with the entire martial arts world? You publicly embarrassed their association, do you think they will let you off?"
Jiang Xue's eyebrows were raised, her face full of anger.
Chen Jie said, "You're wrong. Whether the Martial Arts Association will let me off is not something I need to consider. Instead, the Martial Arts Association needs to consider whether I will let them off!"
"Even if you don't consider yourself, shouldn't you consider the people around you? No matter how powerful you are, you are still just one person! What if the Martial Arts Association members target me and Wang Xiaoyan?"
Seeing Chen Jie's arrogance, Jiang Xue couldn't help but laugh.
Chen Jie's eyes turned cold, "If they dare to lay a hand on you, I will make them regret it for the rest of their lives!"
Jiang Xue took a deep breath and said, "You should go to the Martial Arts Association immediately and beg for forgiveness! Or, ask Wang Xiaoyan to use her connections to get you into the Martial Arts Association. As long as you are a member, perhaps they won't punish you."
Chen Jie paused for a moment, then said, "Thank you for your concern, but I don't need to join the Martial Arts Association, nor will I beg forgiveness from others. If you are only here to talk to me about this, then you can leave."
Jiang Xue pointed at Lin Mengjiao and said, "You are his disciple, try to persuade him!"
Unexpectedly, Lin Mengjiao also said matter-of-factly, "The mere Martial Arts Association is nothing in front of my master. I think it's my duty to make the Martial Arts Association come to my master to apologize."
Lin Mengjiao sneered inwardly.
Her master was an immortal cultivator.
How could he be compared to ordinary mortals?
Asking her master to apologize to them was simply ridiculous.
Jiang Xue was furious. In front of Chen Jie, she directly called Wang Xiaoyan.
Then, she told Wang Xiaoyan about Chen Jie's actions.
"Xiaoyan, you've really misjudged him. You were still expecting him to pay off debts and break off engagements. I don't know if he can even survive these days. Quickly, try to persuade him to apologize!" Jiang Xue said.
On the other end, Wang Xiaoyan was silent for a moment, then said with a sweet smile, "I don't think Chen Jie did anything wrong! If someone dares to provoke Chen Jie, and Chen Jie retaliates, is there anything wrong with that?"
