"Indeed, your boss has a good eye!" Ma Shuai said with a grin. "Kid, I advise you to honestly hand over the money for the house. Otherwise, the consequences will be dire!"
Chen Jie retorted, "Whether I pay or not, the house is mine. When did it become your business to meddle in this?"
At this moment, Ji Tong stepped forward. He said calmly to Chen Jie, "Friend, you might misunderstand us. We actually want to discuss something with you."
"Misunderstand? You attack my people, and you call this a misunderstanding?" Chen Jie asked.
Ji Tong did not answer. Instead, he said to Chen Jie, "We are buying a villa here to establish a base, as the people behind us will soon arrive to accomplish something significant. If you gift us the villa, you will be a good friend to our international associates!"
Chen Jie was taken aback, then he started to laugh. "You mean, you want me to spend a billion to buy a house for you to live in?"
"Exactly. In return, you will receive unimaginable benefits. We can teach you some special cultivation techniques, and make you a superior being!" Ji Tong said as if it were natural.
"Shameless!" He Yufei cursed. Chen Jie's expression also turned cold. "I don't need your benefits. If you want my money, you're dreaming!"
"Let's go!" Seeing that Ma Shuai hadn't taken the lives of the two female bodyguards earlier, Chen Jie decided not to bother with them further.
"You refuse a toast and insist on a penalty. It seems we need to get serious and show you our strength!" Ma Shuai's face darkened, and he suddenly moved rapidly towards Chen Jie. In his eyes, Chen Jie was just a wealthy ordinary person. Someone who could casually spend a billion on a house could afford a few martial artists as bodyguards, but that was all. Chen Jie was within their grasp!
"Boss, you go quickly! We'll cover your retreat!" The two female bodyguards' faces changed drastically. They immediately blocked in front of Chen Jie.
"Two little girls, I spared you once earlier, thinking I'd give you a chance to accompany me. But now, I can only cripple you first!" Ma Shuai said with a chuckle, then attacked the two ruthlessly.
"Lingling, Xiaoyu!" He Yufei called out worriedly.
At this moment, outside the sales office, an off-road vehicle stopped. Wang Xiaoyan and Lin Mengjiao got out. Their astonishing presence immediately drew the attention of those around them.
"Xiaoyan, this is the Qianlong Mountain Villa," Lin Mengjiao said to Wang Xiaoyan. Wang Xiaoyan hadn't seen Chen Jie for several days, but she knew he was on a special mission, so she hadn't bothered him. However, she had been thinking about him. Thinking that Chen Jie didn't even have a place to stay since arriving in the provincial capital, she felt a pang of sympathy. Thus, she decided to buy him a villa. This was why Wang Xiaoyan was here.
At this moment, Wang Xiaoyan glanced into the sales office. She suddenly exclaimed, "Isn't that Chen Jie?" Lin Mengjiao's gaze was even sharper. She directly saw Ma Shuai about to attack the two female bodyguards. Her expression immediately turned cold, and she rushed in, "How dare you offend Master? You're seeking death!" Her figure flashed, and she was the first to enter the sales office.
Unnoticed by them, not far away, a young man was drooling as he stared at their retreating figures. "Slurp... These women are so damn beautiful. Is my luck with women coming through these days? Why do I keep seeing such stunning beauties?" "First He Yufei from Pingcheng, then teacher Lin Shuang, and now two more beauties. I don't even know who to choose!" Just seeing their backs made him restless. This person was Zheng Qingshu. He had been playing games with Lu Gang until now and happened to see this scene on his way to school.
"Whoa! Such speed! Is this woman a ghost?" Zheng Qingshu saw Lin Mengjiao disappear in a flash and was immediately shocked. "No! She's an immortal!" Zheng Qingshu quickly and quietly followed her in.
"Master!" Lin Mengjiao rushed in and immediately called out. Chen Jie turned his head, looking surprised, not expecting her and Wang Xiaoyan to appear here.
"What's going on? Teacher Chen is here too? This seductive girl is actually Teacher Chen's disciple? Ah, this... is she really not a kept woman? Why is Teacher Chen looking at her so openly?" Zheng Qingshu exclaimed, as if he had discovered a shocking secret, then hid to watch secretly. He Yufei, seeing the two of them appear, her pretty face flushed with panic. She quickly withdrew her arm from Chen Jie's.
"Holy crap!" Zheng Qingshu yelped. "This is... the He Yufei I saw that day, Teacher Chen's girlfriend? How is that possible!"
"Chen Jie!" Wang Xiaoyan, seemingly oblivious to He Yufei's action, joyfully lunged into Chen Jie's embrace. Zheng Qingshu was stunned again. He pinched himself several times, telling himself this had to be a dream. The perfect goddesses in his mind were all Chen Jie's women? Was there any justice in the world?
"You trash, how dare you disrespect my Master!" Lin Mengjiao scolded, and her soft sword was instantly drawn. With a swish. "Where did this little girl come from? Get lost!" Ma Shuai was about to deal with the two female bodyguards to teach Chen Jie a lesson when suddenly Lin Mengjiao appeared, and he was instantly annoyed. But in the next second, he was shocked to find that he couldn't even track Lin Mengjiao's figure as she rushed in front of him.
*Puff!* "Ah..." With a flash of cold light from Lin Mengjiao's soft sword, in her rage, Ma Shuai had no power to resist. He was directly killed with a sword to the throat. *Gasp...* Ma Shuai clutched his neck and fell down in disbelief.
"What!" Zheng Qingshu, who was secretly watching all this, felt his heart leap into his throat. He trembled and muttered to himself, "This is... this is for real? A life, just gone like that?" Then, he saw Chen Jie's calm expression. "Who, who exactly is he!" Zheng Qingshu looked at Chen Jie in horror. How could a normal person remain so calm after witnessing such a scene?
"Ma Shuai!" The stiff-faced Ji Tong's eyes widened instantly. "Foolish, so foolish! How could you be careless just because she's a woman!" Ji Tong said.
"Director He, hello. I've heard of you," Wang Xiaoyan said with a smile to He Yufei. He Yufei's heart tightened. Facing Wang Xiaoyan, she suddenly felt like she was caught in the act of dating another man. Wang Xiaoyan said nothing, and she quietly breathed a sigh of relief. "Hello, Wang Xiaoyan. I've heard of you from Chen Jie." Wang Xiaoyan nodded and then asked Chen Jie, "Chen Jie, what's going on?" Chen Jie replied, "It's a minor matter. These people wanted me to give them a house. When I refused, they decided to use force."
