Chapter 216: Chapter 212: The Storm Riders Gather

"Xia Ling, let me take you home. I’m not comfortable with you taking a taxi back in this condition," Long Chen said softly.

"Then... then okay."

Xia Ling nodded in agreement.

"Churan, Yuechan, you should also rest early. I expect there will be more to deal with tomorrow," Long Chen said.

"Go on, hurry and take Sister Xia Ling home. We’re at home and won’t have any issues," Zhao Churan said.

"Okay."

Long Chen, without further ado, helped Xia Ling out the door.

Zhuge Xuan wanted to follow, but Long Chen stopped her.

"Xuan’er, you stay here and take care of the house," Long Chen said.

"Alright then."

Zhuge Xuan stopped.

Long Chen left with Xia Ling. Seeing her steps were a bit unsteady, he simply carried her and placed her in the car.

Afterward, Long Chen drove her home.

Upon entering Xia Ling’s house, she said, "It’s okay now, you can go back."

"I’m not leaving," Long Chen said with a smile.

"No," Xia Ling pushed Long Chen away. "You have to go back, otherwise Yuechan’s mom will misunderstand, and it will cause trouble, putting you in a tough spot."

"Ah, you’ve really been influenced by her," Long Chen sighed. "If that’s the case, I can’t leave. There are some things I need to clarify with you. I don’t want any misunderstandings between us."

"Well, then let’s talk," Xia Ling said.

Her mood was actually very terrible at the moment.

Han Min’s words had impacted her greatly.

"Come, sit here."

Long Chen helped Xia Ling to the sofa.

Then, Long Chen thoroughly explained his situation of marrying into the Li family.

He did not exaggerate, clearly stating the various actions Han Min had taken against him.

After listening, Xia Ling sobered up a great deal, angered by what she heard.

"How could she treat you like that? It’s simply awful."

Xia Ling clenched her fists tightly. "I can’t believe you suffered so much in their family. They really didn’t treat you like a human being, and now you’re even letting Han Min stay in your house. I think you’re really too kind."

"Ah, I also don’t want to make Yuechan uncomfortable. After all, Yuechan believes Han Min, and it’s not good for me to speak out. If I say Han Min has ulterior motives, Yuechan and Yuexin might think I’m trying to sow discord, so I’m kind of out of good solutions.

Let’s leave it at this for now. I think Han Min won’t be able to keep her composure long. You see, tonight she already couldn’t resist looking for an opportunity," Long Chen said.

"That’s true," Xia Ling gently embraced Long Chen’s head, tenderly speaking, "Don’t worry, even if the whole world turns against you, I, Xia Ling, will stand by your side through life and death."

"Me too."

Long Chen, holding Xia Ling, whispered, "So you won’t ask me to leave now, right?"

"I don’t want to let you go, but tonight we can’t do anything, okay? I drank too much. It wouldn’t be good for the baby if I accidentally got pregnant," Xia Ling said softly.

"That depends on my mood," Long Chen said with a grin.

"Ugh, you’re terrible."

...

The night passed in the blink of an eye.

The next day at noon, Long Chen met with Zhou Dong and they signed the contract, spending two hours completing all the documentation and related matters.

Upon departing, Zhou Dong smiled at Long Chen and said, "Mr. Long, there’s one thing I think you should know."

"Mr. Zhou, please speak."

Long Chen was extremely polite to Zhou Dong.

Zhou Dong said, "Recently, a lot of Martial Artists have been entering Qianzhou, and I suspect they are all targeting the Dragon Doctor. Mr. Long, if you need any help, please contact me; we will provide the utmost assistance."

"Alright, thank you Mr. Zhou for the warning, I’ll be careful."

Long Chen smiled.

"That’s good, Mr. Long, we’ll part ways here then, no need to see me out."

Zhou Dong waved his hand.

"Mr. Zhou, then I won’t see you off any farther, there will be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future."

Long Chen also waved his hand.

After Zhou Dong had disappeared, Long Chen checked the bank message that had come in.

At this moment, his personal account had just five hundred billion left.

The rest of the money, Long Chen had transferred to the account provided by Zhou Dong.

This account, actually in Long Chen’s name as well, was not only accessible by him but also by the officials of Great Xia.

Of course, Long Chen did not care about this.

Just the five hundred billion in the card was enough for him to squander.

After thinking for a while, Long Chen decided to call Xia Ling.

But before he could start dialing, Xia Ling’s call came in.

"Trouble is brewing," Xia Ling spoke very seriously right away, "A large number of Martial Artists have been flooding into Qianzhou, the arrivals are menacing, and I suspect they are targeting us."

"Mr. Zhou just spoke to me about this, I hadn’t expected that you’d know too, it seems your sources are also quite informed."

"What do you suggest we do then?"

Xia Ling asked.

"Just make sure the merger with Yuechan and their company goes smoothly; I’ll handle this," Long Chen said with a smile.

Hearing Long Chen’s relaxed manner, Xia Ling felt less anxious at the moment.

"Alright then, you be careful too, I’ve got to go."

"Wait a moment," Long Chen said, "With all the current turmoil in Qianzhou, I think you should temporarily move into my place. Otherwise, if the situation like last time recurs, I worry we won’t be able to rescue in time."

"This... if I do that, wouldn’t it give Yuechan’s mother a chance to target you? Let’s not."

Xia Ling gave a wry smile.

She did want to move in; it would mean she could see Long Chen often.

But thinking of Han Min, Xia Ling lost her nerve.

"Don’t worry about her," Long Chen said. "Given the big picture and your safety, you must listen to me, otherwise if anything happens to you, I won’t be able to handle such a big mess."

"Alright, then I’ll listen to you."

Xia Ling had no choice but to agree.

"That’s settled then, you go ahead with your work, and I’ll come pick you up in the evening," Long Chen said.

After hanging up the phone, Long Chen went to the Dragon Shadow Security Company and posted a recruitment notice.

He wanted to train new members of Dragon Shadow to personally ensure the safety of Li Yuechan, Zhao Churan, and Xia Ling.

Therefore, Long Chen only recruited women, excluding all men.

If it weren’t for the three women being too busy, Long Chen would have liked to personally train them intensively and turn them into experts.

He had thought of this idea for quite a while.

Long Chen felt that it was time to actively seek opportunities instead of always waiting for them.

After all, if security wasn’t ensured and an accident occurred, all else would be mere talk.

Two hours later, someone finally came for an interview.

The person who entered was a tall girl with an ordinary face, wearing large sunglasses.

Long Chen sized her up and noticed her very solid muscles, clearly a practitioner.

"Is the monthly salary mentioned in the recruitment ad real?"

She asked bluntly.

"Possibly more than that," Long Chen replied.

"Really?" The woman was skeptical. "It’s not one of those offers where you do bodyguard work but also have to sleep with someone, is it?"
