Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Connect the Dots
"This is my lifesaver. I almost got hit by a car just now, and it was this uncle who pulled me back," Tangtang answered truthfully.
"What?!"
Seeing several bodyguards looking solemn, Tangtang recounted the incident without hiding anything. When she mentioned the danger, the bodyguards broke out in a cold sweat. If she had really been hit by a car and died, they wouldn't need to continue their jobs, and even surviving would become difficult!
Little Yong glanced strangely at Yang Chen and approached him. "Thank you, Mr. Yang, for saving our young miss. I wonder if you would be willing to accompany us for a while, so that our master can express his gratitude."
The implication was clear: they suspected Yang Chen might have ulterior motives or might be working with the assailant to gain their trust.
Yang Chen understood their meaning well. Even if he had the time, he wouldn't bother explaining anything. He waved his hand. "I know what you're thinking. This has nothing to do with me. If your master has offended someone, let him deal with it. I just saved this girl's life out of convenience. Don't blame me."
Little Yong frowned. "If Mr. Yang is innocent, he shouldn't be afraid to meet our master."
Yang Chen chuckled. "Whether I'm afraid or not has nothing to do with it. Why should your master demand to see me? Why doesn't he come to see me instead, and I'll have a word with him?"
"Mr. Yang, if you refuse to cooperate, don't blame us for being rude!" Little Yong, seeing Yang Chen's refusal to accompany them, found him increasingly suspicious.
The other bodyguards, sensing their leader's determination, immediately surrounded Yang Chen, looking fierce and hostile, not allowing him to leave.
At this point, Tangtang couldn't bear it anymore. "Little Yong, what's with your attitude? Yang Chen saved me. Why are you making things difficult for him? If he really wanted to harm me, he could have just let the car hit me!"
"The little girl has more sense than you guys," Yang Chen sighed.
Little Yong had a solemn expression as he said, "Miss, you don't understand. Many people use this method to get close to their target and then gain even greater benefits. Please don't make it difficult for us."
Yang Chen burst into laughter. "Have you watched too many gangster movies or undercover cop dramas? I don't have time to deal with you lunatics. If you don't want to regret it, get out of my way."
The author interjects: "I found a great reading website: Jiuxiu Novels Network Address: JIUWUXS.COM"
"Then it's up to Mr. Yang's skills," Little Yong said, directing his men, "Get him, and take him back!"
"You're asking for it..."
Yang Chen was truly angry now. Originally, he didn't want to attract too much attention on the street, in front of passersby, but these people were clearly relentless.
Before the bodyguards could approach, Yang Chen flicked his cigarette butt. The powerful force turned the flying butt into a small steel ball, which slammed into the forehead of one of the bodyguards directly across from him!
The bodyguard was knocked out cold by the impact and fell to the ground.
Yang Chen's hands and feet were also not idle. He moved in small circles as much as possible to avoid overly flamboyant movements. He used a few seemingly light karate moves, but the power was still astonishing. With each clash against the bodyguards, they either broke bones or fell to the ground in muscle pain and couldn't get up. Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com
Yang Chen almost choked on his food at the mention of "Brother Yang." He nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, if he doesn't want me."
"Pervert," Zhao Hongyan chuckled and scolded.
Just then, a slender figure suddenly walked up to Yang Chen. The person said softly, "Yang Chen, sorry to bother you."
The person approaching was Chen Bo, who rarely spoke in the office. This boy, who looked like a little girl, was also considered a strange flower in the Public Relations Department.
"What's up, speak up," Yang Chen said with a smile.
Chen Bo's face suddenly flushed, seeming very shy, and he stuttered, "I have something to trouble you with."
"What is it? Spit it out," Yang Chen said, amused.
Summoning his courage, Chen Bo said, "I heard you have a car. I want to ask if you could pick up my sister from the train station. I'm not familiar with the roads in Zhonghai, and it's my sister's first time here. We're afraid of being scammed if we rent a car, and it's too expensive. I was wondering if you're available."
"Is that all? You don't need to be so hesitant," Yang Chen said with a smile. "Just tell me when. I'm free every day."
Chen Bo smiled gratefully. "It's this Wednesday, on the afternoon train. Thank you so much for your trouble!"
"Just let me know when the time comes," Yang Chen agreed. Several female colleagues who were sitting nearby witnessed this scene, all showing surprise because it was rare for Chen Bo to actively seek help from someone.
After Chen Bo walked away, Yang Chen continued to play a game, but it was no longer "Connect the Dots." Instead, it was a jumping game similar to Super Mario, controlling a character to eat fruits in various scenes.
Seeing this, several female colleagues once again had nothing to say about Yang Chen.
Not long after, Mo Qianyi, dressed in a black suit with a white shirt and carrying a light brown Chanel leather bag, walked gracefully into the room. She picked up a bag of soy milk and a bag of vegetable buns from Yang Chen's desk, said "thank you," and then walked into the minister's office.
"Yang Chen, have you noticed that our minister doesn't look too good lately, quite tired-looking. Could it be because of a breakup?" Zhao Hongyan suddenly leaned in and whispered.
Yang Chen glanced thoughtfully at the office area and smiled lightly, "How would I know? But at least her attitude has improved a lot, she at least says thank you for breakfast." With that, he resumed playing the game, ignoring Zhao Hongyan's gossiping beside him.
After playing games all morning, Yang Chen went to the restaurant with three female colleagues for lunch. The male colleagues at Yulei International seemed to get along well, after all, beautiful women were everywhere, and there was no phenomenon of fighting for food. Yang Chen gradually became familiar with the social circle of this company and greeted many people.
After lunch and a short nap, Yang Chen played games again until it was time to get off work.
As the summer passed, the temperature gradually dropped. By the evening, the sun had set, casting a golden glow over the streets and alleys of Zhonghai, making the whole city look crimson.
The city, with its forest of reinforced concrete, resembled an autumn maple forest, shining brightly.
Driving his increasingly familiar BMW onto the highway, Yang Chen listened to the traffic news, already thinking about what delicious food Wang Ma had prepared in the Longjing Garden villa.
But soon, Yang Chen realized something was amiss. It was a sensitivity cultivated over many years of special experiences. When Yang Chen glanced at the rearview mirror of the car, he suddenly smirked.
