Chapter 144: Chapter 144 I’m All Yours

The sound was booming, causing Zhao Jiayao to startle and swiftly stand up from the armrest of her chair, bowing her head to straighten her uniform.

Chen Dashan’s expression remained unchanged as he asked, "Who are they?"

"Don’t know them, a man and a woman. The man looks around 60, and the girl is very young. They don’t seem like ordinary people; they are generous with their money. They bought up all the fruit in our store."

Zhang Xuewen’s expression was complex.

Her face showed both happiness and a touch of concern.

She looked to Chen Dashan helplessly. If there was a danger, she would rather not do the business at all.

Frowning, Chen Dashan stood up and said, "Since they are important customers, let’s go down and take a look."

Zhang Xuewen nodded and followed behind Chen Dashan, with Zhao Jiayao close behind. The three of them went downstairs to the shop on the first floor.

...

Two minutes later.

Chen Dashan, accompanied by Zhang Xuewen, arrived at the entrance of Chen Fruit Store. The shop was no longer as crowded as before; it was exceptionally quiet today.

Chen Dashan had a premonition that the visitors had ill intentions.

"It’s them."

Through the glass window of the store, Zhang Xuewen pointed at the two people inside. Chen Dashan narrowed his eyes slightly. A young woman dressed in a bean green, traditional-style dress was inside, with a white shawl draped over her upper body.

Her hair was half-tied up, adorned with an exquisite jade hairpin behind her ear.

Even a backstabber couldn’t compare to this, just by looking at her silhouette, one could confirm she must be a lady of grace. Tall and slender, with a curvy figure exuding an ethereal aura.

Hearing movements behind her, Ning Caizhu turned her head.

Upon seeing her face, Chen Dashan was even more stunned.

This woman’s face was covered with a veil, but through the haziness, the contour of her cheeks could still be discerned; her oval face was certainly not unattractive, and she had a noble nose and skin as white as snow. Her eyes sparkled, adding brilliance to her gaze, making her appear dignified and noble.

Chen Dashan strode into the store.

Ning Caizhu sized up Chen Dashan from head to toe. The young man was handsome, but she couldn’t find any other advantages in him.

She furrowed her brows and asked, "Are you Chen Dashan?"

"Yes."

Chen Dashan spoke.

Following the brief exchange, neither spoke, and Ning Caizhu turned to look at Old Tang beside her.

At this moment, Chen Dashan also began to seriously size up the two individuals. This man had a profound presence, definitely not an ordinary person, and bore some resemblance to those he had seen at Feiyun Villa during the last tournament. These two were certainly martial artists.

If they were here to make trouble, to seek revenge for Deng Biao or for someone else, he, Chen Dashan, was ready to face them head-on.

"You are not here just to buy fruit, are you?" said Chen Dashan coolly.

Ning Caizhu looked up at Chen Dashan and smiled, "I won’t beat around the bush. We are here for the Nine-leaf Lotus."

"What Nine-leaf Lotus?"

Chen Dashan pretended not to have heard of it and countered Ning Caizhu’s question before turning to walk towards the cash register.

Ning Caizhu followed a few steps and said to Chen Dashan with a sneer, "You don’t have to play dumb. We had already inquired clearly before coming here. The Nine-leaf Lotus was obtained by you through the Qin Family’s help by underhanded means."

Looking at the veiled beauty before him, Chen Dashan smiled at the corner of his mouth.

Her voice was the same as the one in the private room that day. It was this person who had bid against him, turning an item that no one cared about into something worth millions, and in turn made him owe the Qin Family a huge favor.

And now she wanted to come back for the Nine-leaf Lotus, still so brazen. Where did she get the nerve?

"You name a price, and I guarantee you’ll be satisfied. After all, selling fruit for a lifetime, you might not even earn as much," she said confidently.

Ning Caizhu spoke with a mocking tone.

Seeing her arrogant attitude and disdainful eyes, Chen Dashan felt even more contemptuous inside. The item had been purchased by him; was this young mistress’s attitude really that of someone asking for help? Moreover, the Nine-leaf Lotus was extremely useful to him. If he refined it into Elixir Pills, it would unquestionably boost his cultivation substantially.

It wasn’t something that could be bought for just a few million.

As long as he had the strength, was he afraid he couldn’t earn back a few million?

Chen Dashan bowed his head and continued his busy work, casually smiling as he said, "As you can see, I’m just a fruit seller. I really don’t know about the thing you mentioned."

"Please leave!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Caizhu immediately bristled with rage. She had not expected this young man to brazenly reject her ceremonious offer and choose to face the consequences instead.

Immediately, she said in a cold voice, "There hasn’t been anything that Ning Caizhu has taken a liking to and failed to get. Kid, I know all there is to know about you. The item isn’t safe in your hands; you might even risk losing your life over it."

"I advise you to reconsider your words carefully."

Threatening him?

Chen Dashan looked up and saw Ning Caizhu’s beautiful eyes fixed on him, filled with a playful look.

In this lifetime, he loathed being threatened by others the most. Chen Dashan casually threw the bill he was holding onto the table and sneered, "The Nine-leaf Lotus is with me, what if I just don’t want to sell it to you?"

"You..."

Ning Caizhu’s eyes widened with anger and she began to breathe heavily, her thin veil fluttering with her rapid breaths.

Watching Chen Dashan’s indifferent demeanor, Old Tang stepped forward to speak, but Ning Caizhu stretched out her hand to stop him and continued to address Chen Dashan, "Boy, cooperating with the Ning Family would be an honor for you. Countless people in Furong County are scrambling to curry favor with the Ning Family, all in vain. I’m giving you a massive opportunity here."

"Do you know about the Ning Family from the provincial city?"

Seeing the woman’s arrogant demeanor, Chen Dashan said helplessly, "I’ve never heard of them."

Noticing Ning Caizhu was about to explode again, Chen Dashan quickly raised his voice, "However, if you really want the Nine-leaf Lotus, it’s not like there’s no way."

"What way?"

Ning Caizhu asked eagerly. Chen Dashan didn’t respond, his gaze landing on Ning Caizhu’s pert and upright bosom, followed by her slender waist. Ning Caizhu’s cheeks flushed hot, and before she could speak, Chen Dashan said with a cheeky grin, "You sleep with me for one night, and it’s not just the Nine-leaf Lotus that will be yours – I’ll be all yours too."

"Shameless!"

"Are you making fun of me?"

Ning Caizhu’s eyes bulged with fury, wishing she could strangle Chen Dashan to death.

She, the young mistress of the Ning Family, had never been ridiculed like this, not in the insignificant Furong Town, and certainly not in the face of others in the provincial city.

This wild boy simply didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth.

"You are looking for death!"

Old Tang, seeing his young mistress insulted, no longer held back. The elderly man clenched his fist and, with impressive speed, aimed for Chen Dashan’s face.

The fist, accompanied by a gust of wind, whistled past his ear.

Everyone watched the old man, and the motionless Chen Dashan, as Zhang Xuewen and Zhao Jiayao anxiously cried out, "Brother Dashan!"

"Dashan!"

"If you start a fight here, I’m calling the police right now!"

Zhao Jiayao shouted, seeing that Chen Dashan was about to be hit. Chen Dashan remained unflustered and simply stretched out his large palm, grabbing Old Tang’s fist perfectly in his hand.

The unstoppable momentum of the old man was instantly dissolved. Holding his fist, he stood before Chen Dashan, grinding his molars.

His forehead throbbed with veins, and his legs trembled continuously.

To outsiders, it seemed the two were equally matched, with Chen Dashan blocking Old Tang’s attack. However, only Old Tang knew he had no strength to fight back while in Chen Dashan’s grasp.

"It’s probably better for an old man to stay home taking care of grandchildren, don’t you think?"
