The Strongest Master Venturing Urban

Looking at Chen Bin's suspicious gaze, Xin Kalan suddenly felt a burst of inexplicable anger rising inside her.

But those old matters had nothing to do with the former, so she had to change the subject.

"Don't you have a video of Guan Kongcheng hitting someone? Why not release it?"

"He's already agreed to participate in that chef program you planned. Exposing his dirt now won't be good for the new show."

That's what he said, but in fact, Chen Bin had no intention of going after Guan Kongcheng anymore.

After all, the man gave him so much money for free and even acknowledged him as a godfather.

If he were to make a move now, it would really not sit well.

With no other options, Xin Kalan had to change the subject again.

"Can you find a way to make that Mei Ouchi stay away from me? All he does is invite me to dinner every day, it's driving me crazy."

"Just go to the dinner; see what he actually wants."

"I won't go. What if he gets me drunk and takes advantage of me?"

"That's unlikely..."

"I don't care; he's seriously affecting my work. You have to solve this."

"Alright, I'll deal with Mei Ouchi for you. By the way, I'm planning to go to Japan in a few days to look into animations and entertainment shows, do you want to come?"

The words instantly excited Xin Kalan.

"Of course I want to go, I haven't been to Japan for a long time."

"What, are you familiar with Japan?"

"I wouldn't say very familiar, but there are no famous places I don't know. Plus, I speak Japanese quite well; I can be your translator then."

Nodding, Chen Bin felt very pleased.

To him, it was a delightful surprise.

He had never been to Japan; having someone who knows their way around with him is certainly a good thing.

In early April, Chen Bin, along with Xin Kalan, Lu Lin, two directors from the animation channel, and Guan Changming, the head of the Arts Department, set off from Tianhai and flew to Japan.

When the plane landed at the West Capital International Airport, Chen Bin saw two people holding signs at the exit.

Though he couldn't read the Japanese text, he could understand the characters "Yanxi."

Greeting them were two officials from the local cultural department in Japan.

They were named Ye and Miyamoto; Miyamoto could speak Huaxia, but not very fluently.

After introductions, everyone got into the car.

On the way, Miyamoto mentioned that he and Ye would be fully responsible for Chen Bin and his team's visit to Japan.

He then introduced the detailed itinerary.

After listening, Chen Bin seemed quite surprised.

He hadn't expected their schedule to be arranged so thoroughly.

One had to admit, the Japanese were indeed meticulous and conscientious in their work.

Upon arriving at the West Capital Hotel, everyone was famished.

Chen Bin had expected a gourmet meal to be prepared for them, but when the food came, he was dumbfounded.

The rice was cold with only a slice of seaweed on top.

The fish was raw and still squirming on the plate.

Suppressing his discomfort, he took a few bites of cold rice before hastily ending the meal.

Following this, Ye and Miyamoto took Chen Bin and the others to visit animation and TV companies according to the pre-arranged schedule.

Though the food in Japan wasn't to his liking, their expertise in animation was remarkable.

Each step was mature and professional, something worth emulating.

While communicating with the animation companies through Xin Kalan, Chen Bin would frequently take notes.

After the visits, the group returned to the hotel.

Lying on the bed, Chen Bin felt overwhelmingly hungry.

So he called Xin Kalan, asking if she'd like to go out for something to eat.

Though Xin Kalan wasn't initially hungry, she chose to go out with Chen Bin.

Being familiar with West Capital, she knew where the food would suit Huaxia tastes.

Upon tasting the dishes he liked, Chen Bin started devouring them as if starved.

After eating to his heart's content, he finally let out a satisfied sigh.

Taking a taxi back to the hotel, Chen Bin and Xin Kalan entered the elevator and arrived at their floor.

As the elevator doors opened, they suddenly heard earsplitting "bang bang bang" sounds.

While still confused, a man suddenly rushed in from outside.

He forcefully dragged Xin Kalan into the elevator before pressing the button for the negative first floor.

Chen Bin attempted to reach out for Xin Kalan but found himself staring down the barrel of a gun.

Staring at the dark muzzle, Chen Bin stood there, dumbfounded.

He had faced many crises in his political career.

But never in his life had he had a gun pointed at his head.

At that moment, the elevator doors slowly closed, and as Xin Kalan tried to fight back, the man tightly gripped her neck.

Only after the doors shut completely did Chen Bin snap back to reality.

Just then, another group of people, armed with guns, rushed over.

Chen Bin thought his life was over, but surprisingly, they ignored him.

Instead, they immediately started down the stairs.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Bin felt a sense of relief.

But then he quickly realized Xin Kalan had been kidnapped.

Immediately, he followed the men, running downstairs.

In the parking lot, they saw a sedan speeding away.

The armed men also moved to three other cars nearby.

Seeing this, Chen Bin quickly ran to the car with fewer people.

Just as he was about to get in, he was stopped.

The man said something he couldn't understand, so he quickly switched to English: "My friend was taken by that guy just now!"

The man seemed to understand, and after a moment's hesitation, signaled Chen Bin to get in.

Immediately, the three cars sped off in pursuit of the car with Xin Kalan.

Four cars raced through the midnight streets of West Capital, ignoring pedestrians and red lights alike.

Though Chen Bin could drive, he had never driven so fast.

But fear was the least of his concerns now; he only hoped Xin Kalan would be safe.

At that moment, a sports car, like an arrow off the string, chased after the escaping sedan.

The sedan suddenly grew desperate, even trying to ram its pursuer off.

But the sports car driver was skilled enough to easily dodge.

Soon, the two cars were in a high-speed chase, bumping into each other.

Watching the sparks fly, Chen Bin was stunned.

This kind of scene, they wouldn't even dare to film in the movies, right?

As the two cars continued their confrontation, the three cars behind seized the opportunity to surround and ultimately stop the sedan.

When the vehicles halted, everyone else disembarked.

Chen Bin felt dizzy and nauseous but also got out of the car with effort.

However, upon setting his feet on the ground, his legs began to tremble uncontrollably.

If not for the car door, he might have collapsed.

Meanwhile, a young man and woman got out of the sports car.

They looked quite young, the man possibly just over twenty.

He was quite short, around 160 cm, and very unattractive.

The girl looked even younger, probably not an adult yet.

But she was very pretty and about the same height as the ugly guy, dressed rather provocatively.

Seeing Chen Bin, the two walked over slowly…
