The call went through.

“Hey, what’s wrong?”

Su Chen’s indifferent voice came from the other end.

Zhou Wanqiu felt uneasy upon hearing his voice.

However, her grandfather was looking right at her. Zhou Wanqiu quickly said, “Su Chen, I want to apologize to you!”

“You saved me, but I scolded you and hit you! I’m sorry!”

“I had just woken up. I was too flustered and a little emotional. I’m sorry!”

Su Chen was stunned when she heard Zhou Wanqiu’s apology.

However, he quickly understood that Guan Qingqing must have told her what happened.

“Alright then! I forgive you!” Su Chen said indifferently.

Zhou Wanqiu pursed her lips.

That didn’t sound sincere. He was so nonchalant.

At this moment, Zhou Pingjiang reminded her in a low voice, “Ask him how he saved you from the Black Dragon Gang.”

Zhou Wanqiunodded. “Su Chen, the Black Dragon Gang is so powerful. How did you rescue me?”

“The Zhongyi Hall, another underground force in Bin Cheng, was attacking the Black Dragon Gang today. I took that opportunity to save you!” Su Chen recited the script he had prepared.

Zhou Wanqiu understood. “So, it was Zhongyi Hall!”

“What’s wrong?” Su Chen’s tone was a little teasing. “Are you disappointed to hear that I didn’t kill everyone?”

“No, I’m still very grateful to you!” Zhou Wanqiu’s face turned red, and her voice was insincere.

Although she did not quite believe that Su Chen could kill everyone in the Black Dragon Gang to save her, she still felt a little rueful.

She was a woman. Being saved by a knight was a fantasy of hers.

Su Chen had just confirmed that he wasn’t her knight in shining armor. He didn’t charge into the monster’s den to save the princess. Instead, he was more like a sneaky thief.

“Alright, I’m done apologizing! I’ll hang up first!”

Zhou Wanqiu hung up the phone.

Zhou Rongchang glared at her. “That was your apology? You didn’t sound sincere at all!”

“Alright, Dad.” Zhou Pingjiang tried to smooth things over. “You know what Wanqiu is like. She’s proud. This apology is already a big deal for her. Besides, Su Chen has forgiven her.”

Zhou Rongchang didn’t say anything else.

“I told you!” Zhou Wanqiu said. “Su Chen didn’t save me. He was just lucky enough to come in the middle of the fight between the Black Dragon Gang and Zhongyi Hall!”

“At the end of the day, he’s just a small village doctor who has some medical knowledge!”

Hearing this, Zhou Rongchang’s anger flared up again.

“Small doctor?”

“His grandfather saved me!”

“He saved your father! Today, he saved you!”

“Su Chen is a great doctor even though he’s from a small village. He’s so kind. Your attitude on the other hand… How could you say that?”

Zhou Wanqiu’s face fell. She realized that she had misspoken again. “I’m sorry, Grandpa. My mistake!”

Zhou Pingjiang was also helpless.

He understood that his daughter might not hate Su Chen, but she was still opposed to the arranged marriage.

Meanwhile…

Su Chen hung up the phone with a helpless expression.

He could tell that Zhou Wanqiu’s apology wasn’t sincere.

Moreover, she still didn’t like him.

He sighed. “Grandpa! What will being with Zhou Wanqiu do for me? One year? That’s too difficult!”

“Where are you now? Call me back!”

“What are these benefits? I don’t want to keep doing this!”

Su Chen’s headache was intensifying. Then, his phone rang again.

“Savior…”

Qin Yaoyao’s unique voice rang out.

“Have you solved your Black Dragon Gang problem?”

“It’s been resolved!” Su Chen said. “Sorry for troubling you today, Ms. Qin!”

“Don’t mention it. I like to do things for you!” Qin Yaoyao breathed.

“Alright, if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first, Ms. Qin!” Su Chen said quickly.

“Alright! I’ll pick you up tomorrow. See you at the usual place!”

Usual place?

Su Chen was stunned for a moment. Then, he realized she probably meant the intersection where she had picked him up today.

“Oh right, there’s one more thing. It’s very important. Don’t forget!” Qin Yaoyao said.

Su Chen was confused. “What is it?”

“You miss me!” Qin Yaoyao smiled. She then made a kissy sound.

Then, she hung up.

Su Chen smiled wryly.

What a vixen!

This Qin Yaoyao seemed to love teasing him.

He had to be careful around her.

If Zhou Wanqiu ran into him, who knew what would happen?

Meanwhile…

Qin Yaoyao hung up the phone as Qin Wentian came over.

“How did it go? Did he thank you?”

“Thank me?” Qin Yaoyao smiled. “My savior isn’t great at manners!”

“Did he mention Chen Zhongyi from Zhongyi Hall?” Qin Wentian asked.

Qin Yaoyao was stunned. “No! What’s wrong?”

“Earlier, I received news that He Zhenlong of the Black Dragon Gang was killed. He died in his manor.”

“Three out of his four generals died too. Only Ah She escaped because she wasn’t at the manor!”

“Did Mr. Chen from Zhongyi Hall do it?” Qin Yaoyao asked curiously.

“I heard that Zhongyi Hall has ambushed settlements of the Black Dragon Gang and wiped out all their forces! However, when I called Chen Zhongyi today, he said nothing of this plan.”

“Moreover, Zhongyi Hall just isn’t powerful enough to do it so cleanly. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been fighting for so long. So, I suspect that it might be because of… Su Chen!”

Qin Wentian analyzed the situation and stated his conclusion!

“Su Chen? Is my savior that powerful?” Qin Yaoyao jumped up excitedly and placed a hand on her chest. “Dad, just give Mr. Chen a call and ask him.”

“I will!”

Qin Wentian nodded and directly dialed Chen Zhongyi’s number.

The call went through.

“Hello, Qin Wentian!”

On the other side, Chen Zhongyi sounded very excited.

The Black Dragon Gang’s destruction had allowed him to reap many benefits.

Qin Wentian didn’t beat around the bush. “Chen Zhongyi, tell me the truth. What exactly is going on with the Black Dragon Gang?”

Chen Zhongyi was stunned. He pondered for a moment and said, “I knew it. I knew you wouldn’t buy it!”

“After all, you were the one who gave me the location of the Black Dragon Gang’s base! I’ll tell you the truth, but don’t tell anyone else!”

Immediately after, Chen Zhongyi recounted what he had seen at the Black Dragon Gang manor.

After hanging up the phone…

Qin Wentian was dumbstruck.

He had no idea that a young man like Su Chen could simply destroy the Black Dragon Gang.

As for Qin Yaoyao, she was so excited that she almost jumped up.

“Wow! He’s so incredible! My savior broke into the Black Dragon Gang’s den alone, killed everyone, and came out with a woman in his arms! He’s like a prince who slayed an evil dragon to save his princess!”

“I love Su Chen so much! I wish that girl he saved was me!”

Qin Yaoyao was both excited and regretful.

“It seems like you’re right!” Qin Wentian replied. “I’m glad we’re making Su Chen a VIP at the business cocktail party tomorrow!”

“Moreover, we have to reevaluate him now!”

“Hmph, I told you that I have great taste!” Qin Yaoyao said proudly.

“Right! Dad, I want to invite a few more people tomorrow!”

“Who?” Qin Wentian asked.

“The woman that Su Chen saved!” Qin Yaoyao replied.

“I want to see her with my own eyes. Let’s see if she’s better than me!”

Qin Wentian smiled. “No problem! I heard that Su Chen works at Zhou Catering Group. We can invite them as well!”

“In the future, we have to pay more attention to the Zhou family.”

“Alright!” Qin Yaoyao smiled. “Then I’ll get three invitations and send them over immediately!”
