Chapter 258: Chapter 253: Bandits?

"Are you a block of wood?"

Han Yun bent down, "Or is this your first time?"

Her eyes were somewhat misty.

"Han Yun, you..."

"Never mind, don’t talk."

Han Yun interrupted Long Chen.

Long Chen was caught between laughter and tears.

Indeed, the domineering aura of a female boss was still evident at this moment.

But as a man of stature, how could Long Chen be treated this way by a woman?

In an instant, Long Chen held Han Yun by her slender waist with a slight exertion of strength.

Han Yun let out a cry of surprise, and then, Long Chen took control.

A storm was inevitable.

...

It was unknown how much time had passed when the sky gradually brightened.

Han Yun lay in Long Chen’s arms, chatting with him as if she wasn’t sleepy at all, her vitality was indeed strong.

Of course, Long Chen was also formidable.

"By the way, do you think we should hire a nanny tomorrow? I often find myself so busy that I might not take good care of Xinxin. After school, someone needs to pick her up and bring her home."

"No need to look any further, I’ll find someone tomorrow; someone who can not only take care of Xinxin but also protect her well," Long Chen said.

"Really?" Han Yun was delighted. "Knew I could count on you."

"So how will you reward me?"

"Hmm, are you coming again?"

"Yes."

...

The night vanished in a flash.

The next morning, Long Chen and Han Yun took Xinxin to school together.

Before leaving, Xinxin, looking somewhat puzzled, asked Han Yun, "Mom, was there an earthquake last night?"

"Ah? What are you talking about?"

Han Yun was utterly confused.

"Last night, I could really feel something shaking continuously, I..."

"Xinxin!" Han Yun hastily covered Xinxin’s mouth.

After all, there were teachers nearby.

She blushed.

The teacher wanted to laugh but felt it inappropriate, hence quickly took Xinxin’s hand and whispered, "Xinxin, did you finish the homework assigned yesterday?"

"Teacher, I did it really well."

"That’s good; let’s rush to school now, or we’ll be late."

The teacher spoke with a smile.

"Alright then, bye Dad, bye Mom."

Xinxin waved her hand and went into the school with the teacher.

Han Yun, pulling Long Chen, hurriedly left, adopting a light jog.

"Is it really that embarrassing?"

Long Chen asked with a smile.

"Of course, it’s embarrassing! From now on, we need to be careful, even if Xinxin is asleep, we can’t mess around near her."

Han Yun said.

"What, you mean, just one night and you no longer need me?"

Long Chen teased.

"No, no, that’s not what I meant. I need you," Han Yun blurted out.

After speaking, Han Yun realized she’d been tricked by Long Chen and said indignantly, "You bad guy, you know I’m totally smitten by you, and you keep teasing me, huh, so bad."

"Your pouting is really charming; how about we go home? If we go now, it will just be the two of us."

Long Chen gave a mischievous smile.

"Ah, can’t it wait until tonight?" Han Yun said. "It’s broad daylight, aren’t you busy? Come on, let’s go to the auction house and get your things."

"Alright then."

Long Chen and Han Yun stood by the roadside, hailing a taxi.

Han Yun was dressed in jeans and a white shirt today, her mature and charming figure quite fetching.

Especially after a night of turmoil, her allure was more pronounced.

But Long Chen felt a bit puzzled about Han Yun.

"You’re such a big boss, the number one auction house in Qianzhou, why don’t you just buy a car? Still hailing taxis."

Long Chen chuckled.

"Being able to ride in a taxi with the boss of Eastern Dragon Shadow Group, I could brag about this for a lifetime," Han Yun cooed.

"Then let’s start bragging from tonight."

"Go on, I’m talking serious with you, and here you go making wild remarks again."

Han Yun shot Long Chen a glaring look.

But in her heart, she was more than satisfied with Long Chen’s performance.

Twenty minutes later, they walked into the auction house together.

The staff at the auction house, seeing Han Yun’s beaming face, were all quite startled.

For they rarely saw Han Yun smile so radiantly.

In their memory, each time Han Yun smiled happily, it either involved a super-big project which would keep them crazily busy or someone had made a serious blunder and would be dismissed by this glamorous female boss with a smile.

No matter which kind, it would make one’s heart tremble with fear.

"Manager Chen, come here for a moment."

Han Yun saw a man and immediately waved him over.

Manager Chen quickly jogged to Han Yun and respectfully asked, "President Han, do you have any orders?"

"Take some time today to arrange for everyone to receive a one-thousand yuan red envelope, and on behalf of our auction house, donate ten million yuan. You see to the details, I’ll check tomorrow." Han Yun smiled.

"Alright...yes."

Manager Chen immediately agreed.

But, Manager Chen was also bewildered.

What was up with President Han today, both handing out red envelopes and making donations?

But, when Manager Chen’s gaze fell on Long Chen, he suddenly seemed to understand something.

"Manager Chen, where’s my item?"

Long Chen asked.

"Mr. Long, it’s at the usual place, do you want to take it now?"

Manager Chen cautiously asked.

"Mm." Long Chen nodded.

"Alright, I will arrange it immediately. Please wait a few minutes."

Manager Chen turned and left.

Han Yun looked at Long Chen and said softly in a gentle voice, "Then you first take the items back. Oh, by the way, are you coming to my house tonight? If you are, I’ll prepare dinner and wait for you."

"You’re not thinking of cooking yourself, are you?"

"As long as you want to eat, I can cook every day." Han Yun said.

"Okay, I’ll come over tonight." Long Chen smiled.

"I’ll wait for you."

Han Yun was so happy she almost threw herself into Long Chen’s arms, but she restrained herself.

After all, this was the company, one shouldn’t be too unrestrained.

Soon after, Long Chen took the items he had won at the auction last night and hurried back to his own home.

These items were all treasures, capable of helping him reach the next level.

Once he was home, Long Chen saw that Xia Ling and the others had already gone to work, so he went up to the top floor alone to start cultivating.

But just as Long Chen sat down cross-legged, he suddenly sensed something was amiss.

"Who?"

Long Chen stood up sharply, his eyes cold.

"Such keen perception, you’re truly not ordinary."

A cold voice suddenly erupted.

Then, two figures suddenly leaped from the edge of the villa’s rooftop and landed stably about five meters from Long Chen, one old and one young.

"Young man, we have followed you here all the way; do you know why?"

The older one’s voice was slightly husky with whitening hair.

"Heh, if I’m not mistaken, you two must be from room number one at last night’s auction, right? What, you didn’t win against me last night, so today you’ve come to rob me by force?"

Long Chen glanced at the old man, calm and composed.

"Boy, we know you’re no ordinary person. However, if you know what’s good for you, you better hand over the items from last night’s auction. We won’t take all; just hand over the Ancient Sword and the Bronze Dragon Cauldron. As for the He Shou Wu and the White Jade Cup, we don’t want them, you can keep those."

The young man said sternly.

"Listening to you, it sounds quite kind. Are all bandits these days so righteous? If it really can’t be helped, how about this—both the Bronze Dragon Cauldron and the Ancient Sword I can give you, each valued at ten billion. If you can accept that, I will deal, cash on delivery, fair to all," Long Chen said with a slight grin.

"You’re dreaming."

The young man angrily retorted, "Kid, don’t push your luck. We’re still being nice to you out of respect. Don’t be unwise. Do you know who my grandfather is? I’ll have you know, my grandfather is—"

"Shut up." The old man hurriedly interrupted the young man.

Then, he stared at Long Chen and said sternly, "Young man, the four items you acquired last night are all extraordinary. However, what I desire the most is that Bronze Dragon Cauldron. If you are willing, I offer ten billion for it, and we’ll no longer require that other sword. Consider it making a friend, how about it?"

"Old man, you’re not at all funny. A treasure I bought for forty billion, and you offer me ten billion? How big do you think your face is? Don’t you measure whether you’re eligible to be friends with me, Long Chen?"

Long Chen repudiated unapologetically.

"Boy, you’re courting death."

The young man, furious, was about to strike but was grabbed by the old man.

The old man, staring at Long Chen, asked incredulously, "Did you say Long Chen?"

"Yes."

"Long Chen of the Eastern Dragon Shadow Group?" the old man pressed.

Long Chen nodded slightly, standing with his hands behind his back, "The Dragon Shadow Group is just a toy of mine. I’m not personally interested in money, but if you even want to take over my Dragon Shadow Group, you can certainly try."

Hissss.

Upon hearing Long Chen’s admission, the old man sharply inhaled.

"So it turns out you are Mr. Long of the Dragon Shadow Group. My grandson and I apologise for our presumptuous visit; we truly had no idea of your stature. Please, Mr. Long, forgive us."

The old man bowed deeply, turning pale.

"Grandfather, what are you doing?"

His grandson could not understand.

"What am I doing? Fool, are you not apologizing to Mr. Long right now?" the old man scolded.

The young man was baffled, completely at a loss.

Could it be that grandfather is afraid because this guy is so rich?

He simply couldn’t understand!

Thump.

Just as the young man frantically speculated, the old man slapped him across the face and shouted loudly, "I warn you, if Mr. Long wanted your life, you wouldn’t escape death even if you fled overseas. Do you understand me?"
