Chapter 22: A snake that is not killed completely will lead to endless troubles.
Only he had seen clearly what happened just now.
When those seven or eight thugs charged over.
Chen Fang stood up.
His moves were graceful, his strikes were like a sword.
Each palm hit its target's vital points.
In just an instant, those henchmen had lost their ability to fight and fell to the ground, sprawled out.
And Chen Fang, without a flush in his face or shortness of breath, seemed as if nothing had happened.
"How... How is this possible?"
Zhu Xiaojiu said in fright.
After all, in his eyes, Chen Fang was merely a scholar, how could he possess such astonishing combat ability.
Chen Fang smiled slightly and said, "It seems you still don't understand me well enough, Brother Nine. Both my parents were legendary physicians, and I had mastered the meridian system by the age of eight. Hitting a few petty thieves' vital points is not too difficult, right?"
"You... You... Fine, fine, Chen Fang, you're impressive today. You just wait, you've truly enraged me, Zhu Xiaojiu now. I want to see just how much more you're capable of..."
Zhu Xiaojiu knew he was at a disadvantage and it was inevitable.
He turned to leave.
But at this moment, his henchman Ahao suddenly blocked the door of the private room.
Blocking Zhu Xiaojiu's way out.
"Ahao, what are you doing?"
Zhu Xiaojiu demanded.
Ahao didn't speak, only looked towards Chen Fang, seemingly waiting for some sort of command.
At this time.
Chen Fang slowly stood up.
He said, "Brother Nine, do you think I, Chen Fang, am a fool? A snake that isn't killed can cause endless trouble, hence, if we don't settle the score today, don't bother leaving."
"Bastard, this is my place, my territory, you want to mess with me?"
Zhu Xiaojiu said with a cold huff.
Chen Fang suddenly turned around, a sharp gaze fixed on him, and muttered, "Not anymore."
"What do you mean? What do you mean by not anymore?"
Zhu Xiaojiu asked.
Chen Fang looked at Ahao and said, "From now on, Night Paris will be managed by Ahao, and as for your other businesses, Old Scar will take good care of them for you."
It was like a bolt out of the blue.
He fiercely turned to Ahao.
Ahao had always been his trusted confidant, having followed him for many years, and Zhu Xiaojiu believed that Ahao was loyally devoted, the kind who would never betray him. Yet, why would he side with Chen Fang?
"How much did Chen Fang give you? I'll double it!"
He clenched his teeth and said.
Under such temptation, Ahao showed no reaction, he looked at Chen Fang and asked, "Brother Fang, what should we do with Zhu Xiaojiu?"
Chen Fang pondered for a moment.
He said, "Just now, his hand touched my woman."
"Alright, I understand."
Ahao nodded and said coldly.
After these words.
Chen Fang wrapped his arm around Gu Jingshu's shoulder, letting her lean on him.
When they reached the door of the private room, he suddenly stopped, paused, and then said, "Brother Nine, would you please let Deputy Mayor Zhao know, any tricks should come my way; if anyone touches the people around me again, don't blame me for not being polite."
After dropping those words.
Chen Fang left with Gu Jingshu.
From the depths of the corridor, Zhu Xiaojiu's screams suddenly echoed.
The sound was one of heart-wrenching agony.
No one knew what had happened in the private room after Chen Fang left, but from that day on, Zhu Xiaojiu's hand was useless; it seemed unharmed on the surface, but in reality, he couldn't even hold a cellphone.
"Chen Fang, how did you manage to win over Ahao?"
On the way back, Gu Jingshu asked in bewilderment.
Chen Fang smiled slightly and said, "I didn't buy him off."
"Didn't buy him? Then why did he betray Zhu Xiaojiu and join you?"
"Because he had no choice, if he didn't join forces with me, he would be the one to die!"
"What do you mean?"
Gu Jingshu was becoming increasingly confused.
Chen Fang reached out his hand to tidy Gu Jingshu's disheveled hair and asked, "Everyone knows that Yao Qing is Zhu Xiaojiu's apple of the eye, but for someone like Zhu Xiaojiu, he's definitely not short on women. Do you know why that is?"
Gu Jingshu shook her head.
Chen Fang continued, "Zhu Xiaojiu has many women, but only Yao Qing has given birth to a child for him, and what's more, it's a son."
"What does that have to do with A-Hao?"
Gu Jingshu still didn't catch on.
Right after she asked the question, however, she had a sudden realization.
As if a lightbulb went off, she said, "I understand now, Zhu Xiaojiu is infertile, so no matter how many women he has, they can't bear his children. The son born to Yao Qing isn't actually his; it's A-Hao's, right?"
"You're quite smart, Director Gu, not too dull after all,"
Chen Fang said with a smile.
With this, the situation became clear.
Once Zhu Xiaojiu found out his only son was actually his subordinate's, needless to say, one could imagine he would never let A-Hao off.
To save his own life, A-Hao naturally had no other choice, his betrayal was an expected turn of events.
But how did Chen Fang come to know such a top-secret privacy?
After escorting Gu Jingshu into the bedroom and covering her with the quilt, Chen Fang was ready to leave.
Just as he was about to turn around.
A hand stretched out from under the covers and grabbed him.
"Chen Fang, can you keep me company? I... I'm a little scared,"
Gu Jingshu said in a pitiful tone.
After all, she was a woman; having experienced such a terrifying incident, she was still trembling with fear.
Chen Fang thought for a moment, then sat on the edge of the bed and said, "Then I'll wait until you fall asleep before leaving."
"It's already very late. Do you want to... stay the night here?"
After speaking those words timidly,
Gu Jingshu pulled back the quilt.
Chen Fang's nosebleed was about to burst out.
At this moment, Gu Jingshu was wearing only a thin silk nightgown, which was almost transparent. One could vaguely discern that she had removed all her "defenses" within.
If one were to talk about looks,
Gu Jingshu could not compare to Wen Mei.
But in terms of figure, Gu Jingshu might not necessarily lose out.
Although she was nearing thirty, her skin was well-cared-for, fair and delicate to the touch.
Especially the scent of a mature woman that emanated from her body was something men found irresistible.
Youth does not know how sweet a mature woman is, mistaking the young girl for the prized gem.
And Gu Jingshu was that kind of exquisite mature woman.
The hint was already so obvious, and Chen Fang was no prudish gentleman; he stretched out his hand and slowly placed it on her smooth thigh.
At that moment, it was like an electric current passed through her body; Gu Jingshu slightly shuddered.
The image from the hospital bathroom that he had seen flashed before his eyes again.
A sudden rush of unnamed emotion surged to his head.
With a flip,
she climbed out of bed and pounced on Chen Fang.
All of her pent-up passion of three and a half years, she intended to pour out onto Chen Fang.
In the midst of their fervent encounter,
Neither of them heard
The door outside being opened.
Hurried footsteps circled the living room before heading toward the bedroom.
Click,
The door to the bedroom was pushed open directly.
"Sis, why isn't your phone..."
Wen Mei's voice abruptly stopped as she caught sight of the scene before her.
