Chen Xuan remained unfazed, completely unafraid of Housekeeper Li's threats.

If Lin Wanxi hadn't been present and stopped him from speaking, he would have admitted it straight away.

A real man admits to what he's done, it's no big deal.

Let's see how Lin Wanxi resolves it; he's not afraid of the situation escalating.

Lin Wanxi frowned and questioned, "Housekeeper Li, just because Chen Xuan went to the Celestial Fate Restaurant last night, you can't just conclude it's related to him, can you?"

"There must have been many people dining there last night, not just Chen Xuan."

Chen Xuan sneered at this moment, "Housekeeper Li, did you see me enter that private room?"

Housekeeper Li's face turned grim, "The hallway surveillance cameras were deliberately destroyed; it must have been your doing!"

"Otherwise, why would you have appeared at the Celestial Fate Restaurant last night, such a coincidence!"

Lin Wanxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief; as long as there was no evidence, it was manageable.

"Housekeeper Li, this is just a coincidence, making you misunderstand."

Hmm?

Housekeeper Li frowned and sneered, "Lin Wanxi, you say it's a coincidence, and I'm supposed to believe it? Ridiculous!"

Lin Wanxi smiled and explained, "This is how it is, you also mentioned just now that Chen Xuan had some personal issues with Sun Yongkang."

"Speaking of which, it's because of me. Wasn't it the night before yesterday when it was my birthday celebration, and it ended unpleasantly."

"After work yesterday, I felt uneasy, so I wanted to resolve this conflict. I asked Chen Xuan to go to the Celestial Fate Restaurant, book a private room, and invite Sun Yongkang for a meal today to clear things up and eliminate the misunderstanding."

"But then, in the morning, we heard about what happened to your young master and we were just puzzled about it, such unfortunate timing! Please don't let the Li Family misunderstand, thinking it's related to Chen Xuan."

"See, Housekeeper Li did indeed misunderstand, making it so Chen Xuan couldn't clear his name even in the Yellow River, utterly unjustified!"

Chen Xuan almost burst out laughing, truly admiring Lin Wanxi's quick thinking, indeed she is smart as a whip.

Without batting an eyelid, she immediately concocted such a brilliant story.

It seems flawed, yet leaves no room for counterarguments.

It's just a coincidence; everything just happened to come together, what can you do?

Housekeeper Li's face showed a hint of anger, being completely unable to counter Lin Wanxi's explanation.

Ultimately, there was no concrete evidence against Chen Xuan, and Lin Wanxi had the upper hand.

Hmph!

Housekeeper Li snorted coldly, stood up, "No matter how cleverly you spin it, the Li Family will thoroughly investigate this matter!"

"As long as there's a slightest clue leading to Chen Xuan, he's as good as dead! Let's go!"

With a harsh remark, he turned and left with his men.

Lin Wanxi took a long breath, she had been quite tense, with her palms full of cold sweat.

Chen Xuan grinned and praised, "Honey, you're truly outstanding, even coming up with such a flimsy excuse, yet tying it all together so well, hahaha."

Lin Wanxi gave him a sharp look, "It's all because of you, constantly getting me into trouble."

"For the next few days, we must act low-key, no matter how the Li Family provokes us, as long as we remain calm and composed, without showing any flaws, they can't do anything to us."

"I'm talking to you, did you hear me?"

"Alright." Chen Xuan shrugged helplessly, hoping the Li Family wouldn't keep tracking him relentlessly, or they would be asking for trouble.

...

Housekeeper Li returned to the Li Family Mansion and briefly reported to Li Yuanshou.

There wasn't much progress.

"Patriarch, how about I send someone over tonight to quietly eliminate Chen Xuan?"

"Regardless of whether Chen Xuan is truly the culprit, that kid indeed had a conflict with Young Master Yongkang a few days ago, that much is certain!"

Housekeeper Li proposed, seeking Li Yuanshou's opinion.

Li Yuanshou pondered for a moment, then coldly said, "Do it discreetly; don't bring a bad name to the Li Family."

"Understood." Housekeeper Li smiled sinisterly.

Outside the door, the second son, Li Chaohui, hid in the corner eavesdropping, a playful smile on his lips.

He quietly left without being noticed.

At the end of the workday, Chen Xuan drove off with Lin Wanxi from the company.

They were intercepted on their way by four men.

"Chen Xuan!"

Lin Wanxi's expression changed slightly, "Could these be the people sent by Housekeeper Li to secretly deal with you?"

Chen Xuan gave a cold, disdainful laugh, "There's no avoiding it, I can only face it head-on!"

With that, he opened the car door and stepped out.

The four men said nothing and charged directly.

Hmph!

Chen Xuan gave a snort, swung out his fist.

In the blink of an eye, the four men were lying on the ground.

"Who sent you?"

Chen Xuan asked coldly.

"Brother Chen, impressive skills!"

The second son, Li Chaohui, came forward with a smiling face, "Allow me to introduce myself, I am the second son of the Li Family, Li Chaohui."

"Based on this little test, I have reason to believe Li Zijiang and Sun Yongkang must have died by your hand."

Chen Xuan stared at him expressionlessly, "You came to test me? With just these few men, hardly impressive!"

Li Chaohui waved his hand with a smile, "Brother Chen, no need to regard me with hostility, that was just to assess your physical prowess, I've come to propose a cooperation with you."

Oh?

Chen Xuan gave a playful smile, "That's somewhat intriguing, what do we have that we could possibly cooperate on?"
