"Let's go!"
Tang Hai said to Tang Ruotong and Tang Wenwu, getting them into his business car directly.
As for Tang Ruotong's sports car, it was driven back by their subordinates.
In the car, Tang Wenwu said indignantly, "Dad, you were too much today. You actually laid hands on me for an outsider!"
"Hmph, I did it for your own good!" Tang Hai scolded.
"For our good? You hit me for our good? Do you know how badly my sister and I were bullied when you weren't here? Even if he can cure your illness, isn't Old Mo here too? Have Old Mo tie him up directly, would he dare not treat you?" Tang Wenwu complained.
"Shut up!"
Tang Hai glared at him, "Do you know what you're saying? Do you think I don't want Old Mo to tie him up directly?"
"What do you mean?" Tang Ruotong was also very confused, and she was very displeased that Chen Jie dared to kick her butt.
She didn't want to let Chen Jie off so easily.
"Old Mo, you tell them!" Tang Hai said.
Old Mo's face was grave. "Miss, Young Master, actually, before you acted, Mr. Tang and I had already arrived. That Chen Jie is by no means an ordinary person. Based on my observation, if it were me, I might not be able to do anything to him!"
"What? Even Old Mo can't do anything about him?" Tang Ruotong exclaimed.
Then her pretty face turned red.
This meant that her father and Old Mo had watched the entire confrontation when she clashed with Chen Jie.
Even the kick to her behind was not hidden from them.
Instantly, she wished she could die. The whole world knew she had been severely bullied by a man.
"Not only can I do nothing about him, but I might not even be his opponent! His speed is too fast!" Old Mo said.
Tang Hai coughed, "Now you know why I didn't help you vent your anger? If Chen Jie had truly gone berserk and wanted your lives, I would have been helpless. I was saving you!"
"This..."
Tang Ruotong's heart was filled with complex emotions.
She considered herself a strong-willed woman, yet today she had repeatedly hit a wall in front of Chen Jie.
However, at this moment, she felt a strange feeling.
Women liked men who were stronger than themselves. Chen Jie's ability to defeat her and kick her behind gave her a strange sense of being tamed.
"This young man, Chen Jie, is very capable! We should not be his enemy. Ruotong, if you have the chance, perhaps you can interact with him more," Tang Hai said calmly.
Tang Ruotong's pretty face blushed, and she did not object.
"We're going back, and we need to prepare for Chen Jie's arrival! My illness must be cured. Otherwise, if it's really as Chen Jie said, it's not important if I die, but if you also follow in my footsteps, it would be an unbearable pain for our Tang family!"
The few of them hurried home.
Meanwhile, Zhang De, seeing that Chen Jie had reached an agreement with the Tang family, couldn't help but ask, "Master, what do we do now?"
Chen Jie said, "You come with me to my place. I need to refine some pills. After I'm done, you take the pills and go to the Tang family in my stead."
He hadn't lied to Tang Hai.
Tang Hai's body could not be cured immediately. Although he appeared healthy, he was actually terminally ill.
If the malevolent energy in his body were to be driven out rashly, his body would not be able to withstand the depletion and would die directly.
Therefore, Chen Jie planned to refine the Polygonum multiflorum he had acquired that day into pills. He would let Tang Hai take the remaining medicinal residue and then help him expel the malevolent energy.
"Alright, Master!"
After Chen Jie's performance, Zhang De was completely convinced.
Chen Jie was holding the car keys and was about to get into the car when Zhang De suddenly pointed in a direction and exclaimed, "Meng, Mengjiao? Is, is that you..."
Chen Jie turned his head to look curiously.
In the distance, a young and beautiful woman with a backpack was walking aimlessly in their direction.
This woman did not look old, just turned twenty.
She was wearing hot pants, her two slender legs exposed, her skin as smooth as if she were wearing silk stockings.
Her face was also very distinctive, with the inner corners of her eyes slanted downwards and the outer corners upwards, giving her a foxy, alluring look.
Zhang De's eyes instantly became cloudy.
And when the woman heard Zhang De's voice, she looked at him in confusion, then suddenly froze.
The next second, her backpack slipped to the ground.
The girl rushed towards Zhang De without hesitation: "Grandpa! You're still here! That's great..."
"Where have you been all these years!" Zhang De trembled with excitement.
Clearly, although Mengjiao was Zhang De's granddaughter, the two of them had not seen each other for a long time.
"It's hard to explain right now..." Mengjiao said.
"Don't worry, take your time and tell me..."
Chen Jie didn't rush to leave. He frowned and observed the two of them.
He noticed that after Mengjiao appeared, Zhang De's forehead had turned much darker.
After waiting for a while, he finally learned about Mengjiao's background.
It turned out that her original name was Lin Mengjiao, and she was not Zhang De's biological granddaughter.
When Lin Mengjiao was a child, her family was murdered by an enemy. Zhang De, seeing her pitiful state, took her in.
However, Lin Mengjiao disappeared after living with Zhang De for only a few years.
Over the years, she was taken in by a master who taught her a great deal of skill.
"Grandpa, I'm not what I used to be. This time I've returned to Pingcheng to avenge the deep hatred of my Lin family!" Lin Mengjiao said, clenching her pink fists.
"What? You've found out the murderer of your parents?" Zhang De was surprised.
"Yes! It's the infamous underground boss of our Pingcheng, Poison Dragon!" Lin Mengjiao said hatefully.
Chen Jie's heart stirred, and he secretly wondered if Poison Dragon's impending disaster was due to Lin Mengjiao?
"Poison Dragon?"
"Yes! Grandpa, you wait for me here, I'm going to kill someone and then come back to find you!" Lin Mengjiao said.
"No, Mengjiao, Poison Dragon is not an ordinary person, and you might not be able to handle him. You've just arrived home, rest for two days first!" Zhang De said worriedly.
However, Lin Mengjiao pushed him away: "Don't worry, Poison Dragon is like an ant before me, I'll be back soon!"
With that, she looked at Chen Jie and said, "No matter what your relationship is with my grandpa, take good care of him. When I return, I'll give you an opportunity!"
With that, she was about to leave.
"Wait a moment," Chen Jie called out, frowning.
Lin Mengjiao turned her head, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed, "Is there something?"
Chen Jie said, "Your revenge is understandable, but I must remind you that if you act today, you will bring disaster upon your grandfather."
He could already see that Lin Mengjiao's actions would affect Zhang De's life.
No matter what, Zhang De called him Master, so Chen Jie had to help.
Lin Mengjiao clearly misunderstood Chen Jie's meaning and said dismissively, "You know nothing of my abilities. After today, no one will retaliate against my grandpa! Please take good care of him for me!"
With that, she left.
