Chen Xuan chuckled lightly, "I've had a friendly talk with Zhang Zhibao; he has realized his mistake and has offered compensation voluntarily."

"Zhang Zhibao, is that correct?"

Zhang Zhibao quickly responded with a dry smile, "Yes, yes, just like Mr. Chen said, it was all a misunderstanding caused by my unfilial son."

"Offering compensation is only right, haha."

Lin Wanxi and Yang Leshan both wore strange expressions; it certainly wasn't as simple and easy as Chen Xuan described.

For Lord Bao, one of the four potentates of Jiangbei City, to sit down for a discussion, let alone voluntarily offer compensation, was very unlikely.

There was no doubt that Chen Xuan had intimidated Lord Bao!

"Alright, let's go back."

Chen Xuan smiled, calling out, "Didn't I tell you not to come? You came all this way for nothing, didn't you?"

Yang Leshan showed an excited expression, "Chen Xuan, you really are something; even Lord Bao was intimidated by you!"

Lin Wanxi also shook her head with a wry smile, "Yes, you keep amazing us time and again; there's nothing you can't do."

"Thankfully, the matter was resolved smoothly, and now we can rest easy."

She couldn't help but feel grateful; they had been prepared to pay Zhang Zhibao as compensation, willing to spend money to avoid disaster.

Who would've thought Zhang Zhibao would end up compensating Chen Xuan with ten million.

Where's the justice in that!

Back at the rental apartment, Chen Xuan called Lin Wanxi aside, "Linlang has come to Jiangbei University to teach; she just arrived this afternoon. I'm going over to help her settle in."

Lin Wanxi's expression changed slightly, feeling a bit uncomfortable, but she didn't say much, "Okay, I know. You can go."

After Chen Xuan left, Yang Leshan asked in confusion, "Why did he drive off again? Where's he going at this hour?"

"He has some private matters to attend to," Lin Wanxi replied and went straight upstairs.

Chen Xuan arrived at Su Linlang's apartment building, and the two had dinner together.

Su Linlang was fully aware of why Chen Xuan had come tonight.

Distance makes the heart grow fonder!

Tonight was their intimate moment, enjoying a beautiful romance.

Meanwhile.

Du Yuzhe and his trusted subordinate Zhang Biao were enjoying themselves complacently.

"President Du, our plan is progressing very smoothly, with no unexpected incidents."

"Just now, the personnel reported that Chen Xuan had been taken to Lord Bao's place, and most likely, he's facing dire consequences!"

Zhang Biao had a playful and wicked smile on his face.

Du Yuzhe nodded with a cold smile, "Once we get rid of Chen Xuan, Yang Leshan won't escape either."

"With only Lin Wanxi left, she won't be able to hold on! I'll still be the one laughing in the end, hahaha..."

However, just as Du Yuzhe laughed loudly, another message came in.

Zhang Biao's eyes widened in disbelief.

"President Du, things didn't go as we planned."

"Just now, the informant reported that Lin Wanxi and Yang Leshan followed over and left with Chen Xuan from Lord Bao's place."

Hmm?

Du Yuzhe frowned, "Lord Bao just let Chen Xuan go? He didn't make a move on him? How could that be!"

"I don't know the specifics, but after Lin Wanxi and Yang Leshan went over, all three left shortly afterward."

Zhang Biao's expression was uncertain, "Perhaps they negotiated with Lord Bao and reached some sort of agreement."

Hmph!

Du Yuzhe's face was cold, "Doesn't this mean we're busy all for nothing! Why is it so hard to get rid of them?!"

"President Du, don't be angry; we can think of other ways."

Zhang Biao quickly reassured, "This time Chen Xuan and Yang Leshan luckily escaped by sheer luck; next time, they won't be so fortunate!"

Du Yuzhe said coldly, "I have no time to waste with them! Immediately find an assassin from abroad to finish Chen Xuan off!"

"Capture Yang Leshan and Lin Wanxi alive; I want them to pay the price!"

"Understood, President Du. I'll get on it right away."

Zhang Biao didn't dare delay, immediately logging into a certain secret website to find a suitable assassin.

"President Du, how about this international female assassin?"

"Codename Mo Ying, twenty-one years old, has completed multiple assassination missions without failing."

Zhang Biao looked at Du Yuzhe to solicit his opinion.

"Alright, you handle contacting her. It would be best if she could come over to execute the mission by tomorrow." Du Yuzhe said expressionlessly, eager to eliminate Chen Xuan immediately.

...

The next afternoon, female assassin Mo Ying arrived in Jiangbei City, with Zhang Biao in charge of welcoming her.

With wine-red wavy hair and tanned skin, wearing large sunglasses, she exuded an air of mystery.

"Miss Mo Ying, nice to meet you. I've been ordered by President Du to come and greet you."

Zhang Biao smiled as he greeted, "I wonder if Miss Mo Ying could showcase a move or two, let me see your skills."

Mo Ying glanced at Zhang Biao, "Testing my skills beforehand, worried I'm a fake?"

"No, no, no, Miss Mo Ying, don't misunderstand," Zhang Biao quickly waved his hand with a smile, "I'm purely curious, wishing to witness your killing techniques firsthand."

"After all, the target this time is quite formidable; not easy to handle."

Mo Ying's expression remained unchanged, "First arrange my lodging, I'll meet President Du in half an hour and demonstrate my killing skills in person."

"Very well, as Miss Mo Ying wishes."

Zhang Biao nodded with a smile, consenting.

Half an hour later, Du Yuzhe, waiting somewhat impatiently in his private residence, asked, "Why isn't she here yet?"

"I'll give her a call and ask." Zhang Biao immediately dialed, "Miss Mo Ying, it's time already; why aren't you here?"

"I'm already here," Mo Ying replied.

Hmm?

Zhang Biao was stunned for a moment, noticing no one at the entrance; where was she?
