Chapter 1235: Beautiful Partner
Five against one, from any angle, it looks like Lin Chen is the one getting beat up.
A young man with a nose ring took a step forward, delivering a sidekick aimed at Lin Chen's chest.
This guy has obviously trained in taekwondo; his kick was fast and fierce.
The nose-ring guy was fully confident that with his black belt of seven dan, this cool kick of his would definitely send Lin Chen flying.
But just as his leg was about to hit Lin Chen, it was caught by him. In an instant, Lin Chen kicked a pebble, sending it flying like a bullet towards the gap between the nose-ring guy's legs.
"Ow!" The nose-ring guy fell to the ground, clutching his groin and wailing incessantly.
"Dude, if your kung fu isn't up to par, don't pretend to be a master. See, now you've hurt yourself down there." Lin Chen teased.
"Pfft!" Xin Xiaoqi, who was previously tense, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Now she was sure that this guy was definitely the one she was supposed to meet.
Because this Lin consultant she had heard of long ago, humorous, strong, this guy clearly fits these traits.
The four people behind him were utterly baffled.
Lin Chen's movements were so fast, they only saw the nose-ring guy throw a kick before he was on the ground.
The bald man looked at the fallen nose-ring guy and cursed, "Damn, you're getting worse. Just had a few drinks and now you're all messed up."
Lin Chen looked at the other four and said with a smile, "Don't worry, you'll soon be just like him."
"Damn it, kid, you think you're Bruce Lee? We still have four more!" the bald man snorted coldly.
"Get him, break his arms and legs," the bald man ordered coldly.
The other four, eyes filled with cold intent, rushed towards Lin Chen again.
This time, the bald man took the lead; having been overpowered by a little girl earlier, left him very unsatisfied.
He decided to use the young man in front of him as a punching bag to regain the respect he just lost.
The bald man's huge fist whistled through the air towards Lin Chen.
Lin Chen snorted, and his body flickered, disappearing where he stood. The next moment, he reappeared behind the bald man.
"Bang!"
Another kick, Lin Chen's foot directly struck the gap between the bald man's legs.
"Poof!"
With that sound, Lin Chen's kick sent the bald man flying.
The intense pain caused the bald man immense agony.
This was only the beginning, and in the blink of an eye, all those thugs were on the ground clutching their crotches in pain and wailing.
Xin Xiaoqi was almost stunned; Lin Chen moved so fast that all she saw was a blur, and then the thugs were already down.
Lin Chen grabbed the bald man and lifted him up, asking, "Does it hurt?"
The bald man kept nodding, "It hurts, big brother, I was wrong, please forgive me!"
Lin Chen nodded, "If you want me to forgive you, you first have to get that pretty lady's forgiveness, or it won't just be pain but shattered eggs."
The bald man shivered at this and, along with his lackeys, knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Sis-in-law, I was wrong, please forgive us!" the bald man howled in pain.
"Sis-in-law!" Xin Xiaoqi's gaze sharpened when she heard this, and she lifted her foot in high heels and kicked the bald man between the legs hard.
"Ah!" Though Xin Xiaoqi didn't kick him hard, it was enough to add fuel to the fire.
"Ah!"
The bald man cried out in pain and finally passed out.
"Get the hell out of here!" Xin Xiaoqi said angrily.
The thugs, receiving amnesty like a gift from heaven, hurriedly dragged the unconscious bald man and fled.
"Pretty lady, are you satisfied now?" Lin Chen asked awkwardly.
"Satisfied, my foot. We were supposed to meet at three, why are you so late?" Xin Xiaoqi huffed.
If Lin Chen hadn't been late, she wouldn't have been tangled up with these thugs.
Lin Chen gave an embarrassed smile, "Sorry, something came up and delayed me."
"Hmph, and what was that code you just used?" Xin Xiaoqi said angrily.
"Did I say it wrong?" Lin Chen scratched his head.
"Your lack of sincerity means there'll be no future meetings!" Xin Xiaoqi huffed coldly.
"No, no, wait! The second line is 'Iron-blooded heart shining through history'," Lin Chen hurriedly said upon seeing Xin Xiaoqi really angry.
Only then did Xin Xiaoqi snort coldly, "Consultant Lin, I hope you pay more attention to your conduct at work. If your nonsense causes the mission to fail, who will take responsibility?"
"Don't you think my line is more rhymed?" Lin Chen said narcissistically.
"You!" Xin Xiaoqi was completely speechless.
"Here are all the materials for this mission, and I will be in charge of your logistics. If you need anything, just let me know," Xin Xiaoqi said.
"Where am I staying?" Lin Chen asked a little awkwardly.
Xin Xiaoqi blushed, "You'll stay at my place. You're now posing as my cousin, who has come to Xicheng looking for a job."
Xin Xiaoqi had never thought before of taking a man home.
In fact, she could have rented Lin Chen a house, but inexplicably she chose without hesitation to let him stay at her place.
Following Xin Xiaoqi to her home, Lin Chen looked around at the not-very-large two-bedroom apartment.
The house wasn't big, but it was meticulously designed by her. Every decoration and piece reflects her efforts.
Xin Xiaoqi didn't know that as Lin Chen surveyed the room, his mind was elsewhere.
With a man and woman in this little space, it's like dry wood meeting a raging fire—things could easily spark. It's very dangerous.
Just then, Xin Xiaoqi said, "You rest a bit, I'm going to take a shower."
With that, Xin Xiaoqi walked towards the bathroom.
Listening to the sound of the water in the bathroom, Lin Chen couldn't help but activate his X-ray vision.
Seeing the steam-shrouded beauty, Lin Chen was secretly delighted, not expecting that the one assisting him this time would be a cute beauty, it seems a happy life is just around the corner.
Xin Xiaoqi dried herself, changed into a bathrobe, and walked out of the bathroom.
Seeing Xin Xiaoqi come out of the bathroom, Lin Chen's eyes almost popped out.
Water droplets still clung to Xin Xiaoqi's skin. Although the nightgown covered most of her body, the snow-white legs, the pale neck, and the faintly visible cleavage made Lin Chen's imagination run wild.
As Xin Xiaoqi walked towards him, Lin Chen quickly grabbed a magazine to fake nonchalance.
However, Xin Xiaoqi stood in front of Lin Chen, looking curious and asked, "What were you doing just now?"
"Reading a magazine!" Lin Chen said with an embarrassed smile.
"So Mr. Lin reads magazines upside down, huh?" Xin Xiaoqi huffed.
Only then did Lin Chen notice that in his flurry, he'd grabbed the magazine the wrong way round.
"Okay, I'll come clean. I was actually looking at you, you're just too beautiful," Lin Chen confessed with a smile.
Noticing Lin Chen's gaze on her, Xin Xiaoqi blushed, a red glow appearing on her pretty face.
"Smooth talker!" she said and, accompanied by the fragrance in the air, sat on the sofa next to Lin Chen.
"What's your plan for the next step?" Xin Xiaoqi asked.
