Wan Jie clearly treated Chen Jie like his own servant.
How dare he trespass into his room? Let him taste the power of money.
"I didn't expect you to be in league with Liu Mei. Very well, I'll give you a chance to atone for your sins."
As Chen Jie spoke, he suddenly extended his finger and pointed at Wan Jie.
"Who the hell are you? I..."
Before Wan Jie could finish speaking, his body suddenly trembled. He felt a mysterious energy surge into his mind.
With a thud, Wan Jie fell to the ground, unconscious.
Having done all this, Chen Jie clapped his hands.
His tasks for the day were thoroughly completed.
Seeing that it was late at night, Chen Jie did not leave too far and instead found a hotel nearby to stay.
It seemed like it was time to buy a house in the provincial capital. Constantly staying in hotels wasn't a solution.
Chen Jie thought to himself.
The next morning, Chen Jie rushed to the Sheraton Hotel again.
He directly pushed open the door to the room where the Barbarian Bull trio was.
"Who?" The Barbarian Bull trio, who were meditating in the room, heard the movement and immediately shouted.
"So it's Young Master Chen! Please, have a seat. We thought someone was going to harm Miss Zhang!" Feng Nian said with a smile.
Chen Jie nodded: "Was anyone trying to assassinate Zhang Xinyan last night?"
"Young Master Chen, not yet. We heard that Young Master Lü told Liu Mei that the mission was completed. It's unlikely Liu Mei will target Miss Zhang again before Miss Zhang makes an appearance," the Barbarian Bull said.
"Thank you for your trouble last night," Chen Jie said.
"It's no trouble at all, hehe. It's our honor to work for Young Master Chen! For the next week, we will be protecting Miss Zhang at all times."
The three of them thought to themselves, being able to wipe out the Sorcery Association single-handedly, their strength was probably higher than that of the president. Working for Chen Jie was indeed better than working for Lü Changbu.
Chen Jie said, "That's enough. From now on, Zhang Xinyan no longer needs your protection. You may leave."
"Young Master Chen, this... If they don't have our protection, Liu Mei might send assassins again."
Feng Nian said with concern.
"It's alright. Liu Mei will be finished today," Chen Jie said.
The three were stunned, and then they realized that with Chen Jie's ability, killing Liu Mei would be too easy. Why should they fear Liu Mei sending assassins again?
Thinking of this, they said, "Alright then, Young Master Chen, we'll take our leave."
Chen Jie nodded.
After the three of them left, Chen Jie knocked on Zhang Xinyan's door again.
"Chen Jie, you're here." Zhang Xinyan opened the door and invited Chen Jie inside.
Chen Jie was stunned.
Inside, there was a middle-aged couple.
The man's face bore a slight resemblance to Zhang Xinyan.
At this moment, the eyes of the couple were red.
"Xinyan, who are these two...?" Chen Jie asked.
"Chen Jie, these are my parents." Zhang Xinyan quickly introduced them.
"Dad, Mom, this is Chen Jie."
"Chen Jie, we've heard about you from Xinyan. Thank you for taking care of Xinyan these past two days," Zhang Xinyan's father, Zhang Bao, said politely.
The current Zhang Bao did not look like the head of a hundred-billion-dollar family at all. He had become an ordinary man who had lost his beloved son and father.
Zhang Bao's face was unshaven, and he looked dejected.
"You're welcome, these are all minor matters to me," Chen Jie said.
"Well, let's go to A Cheng's company!" Mother Zhang urged.
"Alright, let's go now," Chen Jie said.
"Wait, I'll get a bag," Mother Zhang turned around and rummaged through her bag.
Zhang Xinyan glanced at it and quickly exclaimed, "Mom, why are you bringing a knife?"
Mother Zhang became agitated and said, "My precious son was killed by that bitch! I'm going to trade one life for another! None of you stop me!"
"Auntie, this won't solve the problem!" Chen Jie frowned, stepped forward to stop her, and secretly channeled some spiritual energy into her.
Zhang Xinyan's parents clearly hadn't slept all night and were in a state of agitation.
Zhang Bao, as a man, was somewhat more composed, but Mother Zhang was completely unable to calm down.
With Chen Jie's help, Mother Zhang's mood calmed down considerably.
"My precious son is dead. How am I supposed to live!"
Mother Zhang began to cry.
"Mom, don't be like this. The important thing now is that we take back brother's property and don't let that bitch succeed!" Zhang Xinyan said.
"Can we really get it back?" Mother Zhang said.
Zhang Xinyan looked at Chen Jie.
Chen Jie said faintly, "Don't worry, this is just a small matter for me."
"Good, son-in-law, tell us what to do! As long as we can punish that bitch, we'll listen to you!" Mother Zhang gritted her teeth.
Chen Jie was taken aback by the address but didn't dwell on it, saying, "Let's go to the company first."
"Let's go!"
The four of them went outside and looked at each other.
They all seemed to be waiting for something.
"Chen Jie, where's your car?" Zhang Bao asked in confusion.
Chen Jie's face turned awkward. He had been waiting to use Zhang Bao's car.
He immediately said, "I didn't drive here to Pingcheng. Uncle Zhang, what about your car?"
Zhang Cheng said, "We were worried Liu Mei would send experts to assassinate us, so we took a taxi here."
So, neither of them had a car.
They had all been waiting to ride in the other's car.
Chen Jie didn't dwell on this matter and instead waved his hand, signaling a nearby taxi to stop.
"Let's take a taxi."
"Okay!"
In the car, Zhang Xinyan was filled with worry. As the manager of the Zhang family's business, she knew that there was a lot of room for manipulation in a large company.
Even with the deed of gift from her brother, she might not be able to win against Liu Mei.
After all, Liu Mei was her brother's wife, and she was undoubtedly familiar with many people in the company.
However, out of trust in Chen Jie, despite her inner worries, she did not flinch.
Zhang Bao and his wife observed Chen Jie.
Their gazes held a strange light.
Originally, they had been hesitant about Chen Jie.
They were not entirely in favor of Zhang Xinyan's engagement to Chen Jie.
But now that their only son was dead, they had lost their spiritual pillar.
Unconsciously, they wished for someone to replace Zhang Cheng and become their son.
And now, Chen Jie was the most suitable candidate.
Before long, the taxi stopped in front of the Zhang Corporation.
As Chen Jie was about to enter, a security guard stopped them.
"Who are you? Show me your work ID!"
Chen Jie said, "We are relatives of your company's chairman, Zhang Cheng."
The security guard looked at Chen Jie strangely.
Then he sneered, "When did Mr. Zhang have poor relatives like you? You're here to extort money, aren't you? Get lost and don't delay my work."
"What did you say? We're coming to my son's company, and you dare to stop us?" Mother Zhang immediately became agitated.
"Pah! Mr. Zhang is worth hundreds of billions. How could he have parents like you? Don't flatter yourselves."
The security guard said disdainfully.
"You..."
Mother Zhang was about to speak when Chen Jie raised his hand to stop her.
"What if we insist on entering?"
