Chapter 133: Chapter 131: Asking for Help

Xia Ling watched Long Chen’s retreating figure without any hesitation, feeling an immense sense of loss.

But with the sense of loss, Xia Ling realized that her affection for Long Chen hadn’t faded in the slightest.

On the contrary, it was much more intense than ever before.

"He doesn’t lack feelings for me, if he did, he wouldn’t have acted that way just now.

But he didn’t covet my body, which shows he really respects me, that he’s truly afraid of hurting me.

Yes, that must be it, but do you think that by doing so, I’ll give up?

Have you ever thought that after meeting you, where in the world could there be another man that could move my heart?"

Xia Ling clenched her fists tightly.

...

Outside, Long Chen returned home and found that everyone, except for Tang Ying and Jiang Tong who were alchemizing in the basement, including Zhao Churan, had not returned yet.

Long Chen changed his clothes and was about to check the basement when his phone rang; Li Yuechan was calling.

"Yuechan, haven’t you left work yet?" Long Chen asked.

"Long Chen, I’m at the Qianzhou Restaurant, come save me."

Li Yuechan’s voice was low and hurried.

Long Chen’s heart tightened, "What do you mean? What happened?"

"Just come..."

Beep beep beep.

The call abruptly disconnected.

Long Chen started to feel anxious.

But at the same time, Long Chen was very puzzled.

He had Unrivaled protecting Li Yuechan, and with Unrivaled’s strength, there shouldn’t be any adversaries she couldn’t handle, so what danger could Li Yuechan be in?

Regardless, now that Li Yuechan was calling for help, Long Chen had to go.

Soon after, Long Chen rushed to the Qianzhou Restaurant, and at the entrance, he saw Unrivaled.

Unrivaled squatted eating ice cream, and seeing Long Chen’s arrival, she looked quite surprised, "Brother Chen, why are you here?"

"Where is your sister Yuechan?" Long Chen asked.

"She’s inside having dinner with some people," said Unrivaled.

"Then why are you out here?"

"Yuechan’s parents said they had some important business to discuss and asked me to wait outside," Unrivaled explained.

"You silly girl, take me inside," Long Chen said.

"Okay."

Unrivaled rose to her feet and led Long Chen into the restaurant.

A moment later, guided by Unrivaled, Long Chen stopped in front of a private room.

Conversations emanating from the room caught Long Chen’s attention.

"Yuechan, have another drink. You can’t handle just seven drinks? That won’t do, ha ha, have one more."

A man’s voice laughed unrestrainedly.

"Yuechan, drink up, it’s fine."

Li Shiqi’s voice came through.

Han Min also said, "Yuechan, you should entertain President Chu properly. President Chu is our family’s god of wealth. If it weren’t for him finding you young and pretty, why would he discuss collaboration with us?"

"Mom, I really can’t drink anymore. I... I feel like throwing up."

Li Yuechan was doing her best to endure.

"If Yuechan can’t drink, it’s okay. Here’s what we’ll do—she looks tired, I will take her to my car to rest," President Chu suggested.

"That’s very good, President Chu, thank you for taking care of Yuechan."

Li Shiqi quickly responded.

"Don’t worry, everything will be fine. Oh, and about that contract, let’s sign it tomorrow morning. Is that okay with you?"

President Chu said.

Li Shiqi, excitedly, "Yes, yes, yes, President Chu, no problem."

"Mm, then I’ll take Yuechan away now."

President Chu smiled.

"I won’t go," Li Yuechan panicked, "Mom, I don’t want to go outside."

Although Li Yuechan was drunk, her consciousness was clear. She clearly understood she couldn’t go out with this man.

"Yuechan, don’t make a fuss, President Chu isn’t going to do anything to you, don’t spoil his mood."

Han Min immediately spoke up.

"That’s right, Yuechan, just go."

Li Shiqi urged, as if scared President Chu might get angry.

At the door, Long Chen listened to this string of dialogue, his face turning an iron blue with rage.

With a bang.

Long Chen kicked open the door of the private room and entered.

His sudden arrival startled everyone inside.

Then, Li Shiqi hurriedly came up to Long Chen and whispered, "Long Chen, I’m discussing a multimillion project with President Chu, be careful, don’t mess this up, it’s very important for the Li Family."

"Get lost."

Long Chen kicked Li Shiqi away.

Li Shiqi was sent flying, vomiting blood, barely able to catch his breath.

Long Chen was extremely furious, on the verge of killing Li Shiqi.

"Long Chen, what are you doing?"

Han Min was shocked and furious but also fearful.

Long Chen ignored Han Min, pushed aside President Chu, and held Li Yuechan in his arms.

When Li Yuechan saw it was Long Chen through her blurry, drunken vision, she cried.

"Don’t be afraid, I’m here, no one can bully you."

Long Chen said softly.

Then, only did Long Chen turn to Han Min, "For a mere project, you’d push out your own daughter to an old man, are you even human? Do you deserve to be a mother?"

"You... you’re talking nonsense, not everyone is as dirty as you think. President Chu just wants to chat with Yuechan in his car, what’s wrong with that?"

Han Min braced himself and said.

Beside him, President Chu’s face turned unpleasant as he sternly said, "It seems that the Li Family’s sincerity is lacking. We won’t sign the contract then. There are plenty of companies eager to cooperate with me."

"You, get as far away from me as possible."

Long Chen said indifferently.

"Young man, you’d better watch your attitude with me."

President Chu stared at Long Chen, his eyes cold and threatening.

"Unrivaled, slap him."

Long Chen directly commanded.

"Alright."

Unrivaled raised her hand, and in an instant, she delivered two slaps to President Chu.

President Chu was hit until he was dizzy and lost teeth, letting out a sharp cry of agony.

"Brother Chen, should I finish him off?"

Unrivaled picked up a chair, her killing intent palpable.

Long Chen waved his hand dismissively, "That won’t be necessary."

Then, focusing on President Chu, Long Chen said sternly, "Don’t think that just because you have some power, you can act recklessly. I’ll spare your life this time. Watch your step, and get out."

"You... you wait, just you wait."

President Chu scrambled to his feet.

Long Chen frowned, disdainfully replying, "Fine, I’ll wait for you for half an hour."

President Chu, grinding his teeth, ran out of the private room in disarray.

Witnessing this, Li Shiqi felt somewhat desperate.

"Long Chen, what on earth has my Li Family done to offend you? After finally nearing a major project deal, you come meddling. Why?"

Li Shiqi clenched his fists, his face turning pale.

"I just want to ask you one thing: Li Yuechan, is she your biological daughter?"

Long Chen stared intently at Li Shiqi.

Li Shiqi hesitated, unable to speak.

Han Min panicked inside and hastily said, "What nonsense are you spouting? Of course, he is Yuechan’s biological father."

"If he is her biological father, then why is he so heartless to his own daughter? Even a tiger wouldn’t eat its cubs, yet he and you, Han Min, are repeatedly pushing Yuechan into a pit of fire, hoping to use her to gain the benefits you want. How can you be so blinded by greed?"

Anger made Long Chen’s voice tremble slightly.

"Long Chen, living in this world, one inevitably faces certain experiences, whether one is willing or not. I believe you certainly understand what I mean."

Han Min spoke with profound meaning.

"Spare me that nonsense. I don’t care about others, but Li Yuechan is my woman, Long Chen’s woman. From now on, whoever dares to harm her is making an enemy of me. Regardless of who it is, I will not let them off. Watch yourselves."

Long Chen said sternly.

Having finished speaking, Long Chen picked up Li Yuechan and, while walking outside, said to Unrivaled, "Little Unrivaled, you stay here and wait for that President Chu or whatever his name is to send someone over. When they arrive, take them all down, but don’t take any lives."

"Understood."

Little Unrivaled was a bit nervous.

Watching Long Chen leave, Little Unrivaled couldn’t help but say, "Brother Chen, I’m sorry, I failed to protect Sister Yuechan."

"It’s not your fault. Don’t let it happen again. No matter who tries to stop you from following Sister Yuechan, you must not trust them. Wherever Sister Yuechan goes, you must follow her. Do you understand?" Long Chen said softly.

"I understand. I definitely won’t make the same mistake again."

"Hmm."

Long Chen nodded lightly, holding Li Yuechan as he left the restaurant.

After getting outside and moving away from the restaurant, Long Chen used a secret method to sober up Li Yuechan.

Once Li Yuechan regained consciousness and remembered everything that had transpired at the restaurant, she couldn’t help but bury herself in Long Chen’s chest, crying bitterly.

"Why do they have to treat me this way? I don’t understand, I really can’t comprehend it. If you hadn’t arrived tonight, if I had really been taken away by President Chu, I can’t even begin to imagine the consequences."

Li Yuechan was in agony.

"Do you want to know why?"

Long Chen clenched his teeth slightly.

For a moment, he thought about telling Li Yuechan the truth.

"What... what reason?"

Li Yuechan looked at Long Chen.

Long Chen gazed back at Li Yuechan, into her sorrowful eyes.

Suddenly, Long Chen found he couldn’t say it.

If he told Li Yuechan the truth now, would she collapse on the spot?

Long Chen felt that now was not the best time to reveal the truth to Li Yuechan.

He wanted her to have some time to come to terms with it.

"Yuechan, I think your dad has been really bad to you. With a father like that, you can try to refuse some of his unreasonable demands. You understand what I mean, right?"

Long Chen emphasized meaningfully.

"He only told me it was for work when he asked me to go to the restaurant. He didn’t say it was to accompany anyone for drinks, let alone to leave with President Chu. It wasn’t until I arrived that I realized something was wrong, but then I couldn’t leave. If I had known beforehand, I definitely wouldn’t have gone."

Li Yuechan said.

"I get it. Next time, wherever you go, take Unrivaled with you. She’s very capable and can protect you well," Long Chen said softly.

"Okay, I’ll listen to you. I just feel particularly upset. My parents, they just don’t consider my feelings at all."

Li Yuechan’s voice was a bit hoarse.

"Since they’re like that, then you can learn to be a bit tougher. Honor them when you should, but never agree to things you shouldn’t, even if the sky falls down. You need to have your own will."

Long Chen spoke earnestly.

At that moment, Long Chen’s words were a warning for Li Yuechan.

"Husband, I’m very confused. No matter what, they’re my biological parents. What can I really do to them?"

Li Yuechan closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"Then why don’t you consider what would have happened if you hadn’t been smart to call me to come over? Have you thought about the consequences?"

Long Chen looked serious.

"Then... then teach me. What should I do?"

Li Yuechan suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Long Chen.

"If I tell you something, will you listen to me?"

Long Chen asked.
