MTLNOVEL Chapter 224: A Glance
"Oh, Jiang Weiwei, long time no see."
"I didn't expect you to be so down-and-out now? Where are your driver and bodyguard?"
At the exit of the high-speed rail station, the woman in a beige coat beside Chen Yun was stopped.
"Zhang Quan!"
Her face didn't look good, she didn't expect to encounter this irksome person when she came to Nanjiang.
She looked up, and saw two silhouettes.
One was wearing a casual coat and suit, a young man, seemingly a respectable gentleman.
Behind him stood a tall man in a black suit, with a cold, hard face, and when the sunlight shone, it cast a sturdy shadow on the ground.
"Hehe, surprised?"
"You looked down on me back then, and now? Even your father has to call me Mr. Zhang, right?"
The young man taunted, his eyes playful.
The woman named Jiang Weiwei's face grew darker, while Chen Yun was somewhat at a loss.
What's going on?
She was puzzled, and then saw someone approaching from the opposite side.
"It's nothing, I'll be in Nanjiang for a long time."
"I heard your father was sent here as the project manager, hehe, wait and see, you'll eventually kneel and beg me that…"
Click.
A person in a black coat brushed past.
"Sis."
Chen Feng spoke to Chen Yun, not giving anyone else a glance.
"Xiao Feng..."
Chen Yun nodded quickly at him, feeling he seemed to have changed a bit.
Calm expression, thin coat.
Her eyes were filled with joy and longing, instinctively wanting to ask if he was cold wearing so little, but then quickly realized the current situation seemed unusual.
Turning her head, she saw the young man blocking the path indeed frowned, appearing dissatisfied.
Her friend Jiang Weiwei also quickly signaled with her eyes, urging her to take Xiao Feng and leave quickly, to avoid getting involved.
"It's okay, Sister Yun."
Cao Tong came forward at some point, taking the pink luggage, and grinned.
Though he was older, the way he addressed her was incredibly natural.
Chen Yun was taken aback, while the young man who had been ignored throughout finally exploded.
"You...!"
Thud.
The Silver Steel Grade Transformed People bodyguard behind him hurriedly reached out and stopped him.
"Old Xu, what are you doing!"
The young man cursed, but quickly.
It was obvious that the always cold and hard Old Xu was shaking his head continuously, eyes filled with fear, and a cold sweat had unknowingly rolled down his face.
Confused and uncertain, he finally came to his senses.
Trembling, he looked back, the young man in the black coat glanced sideways at him.
One glance, indifferent, calm.
Yet, he felt like his heart was being squeezed, breath instantly stopping, near suffocation.
"This...."
Unbelievable, he wanted to speak but found himself trembling, muscles in spasm, unable to speak.
Until finally.
Tap!
Footsteps sounded again, the young man in the black coat turned around and walked, brushing past him once more.
The crisis of death approached, his face rapidly paled, and behind him, the transformed bodyguard's body emitted creaking sounds as if about to burst.
Trembling, Chen Yun barely regained her composure.
Seeing no one blocking the path anymore, she quickly pulled her dazed friend away.
Tap!
Finally, the footsteps faded away.
"Phew! Phew! Phew!"
The young man gasped heavily, even clutching his throat and coughing a few times.
Turning again, he saw the silhouette in the black coat already inside the car, as was the Jiang Weiwei he wanted to retaliate against.
"Old Xu.... who was that person?"
The young man asked, only then realizing his clothes were soaked in cold sweat.
A mix of emotions swirled inside, and fear rose prominently on his face.
Making even Old Xu not dare to move or speak.
Could it be....
"It was the Grandmaster."
His cold, hard expression gone, the middle-aged bodyguard's face was complex, filled with gratitude and fear.
Luckily, before coming to Nanjiang, he had made inquiries, otherwise today...
He shook his head secretly, turning to look at the young man.
The other person had widened his eyes, as if all guesses and thoughts exploded in that instant.
....
Buzz!
The black business car drove away from the high-speed rail station, Chen Yun sat in the back seat, comforting her friend while watching the coat-clad figure in the front seat.
She wasn't stupid, calming down now and thinking carefully, she naturally sensed the real reason why the provocative young man didn't block the path.
As well as this car, and the respectful address of the strong man who came....
Everything indicated her brother was no longer as ordinary and simple as before.
She wanted to ask, but with her friend by her side, she could only suppress her curiosity and instead inquire about the earlier situation.
"Zhang Quan pursued me back then, when I was in Tan City."
"I didn't agree with him, of course, not because he didn't have money back then...."
The girl named Jiang Weiwei quickly explained, glancing at Chen Feng's back, with a complex tone: "It's because I felt we weren't suitable, and I had no feelings for him."
"Afterwards, he never showed up again, and I heard from friends that he was doing quite well now, opened a big company, but I didn't expect to meet him unexpectedly today...."
She explained quite a bit with a bitter smile, Chen Yun nodded repeatedly, and then offered comfort.
Chen Feng remained silent throughout; this was just a minor episode for him now, even negligible.
Only because the person hadn't affected Chen Yun, otherwise he definitely wouldn't let it go easily.
Buzz buzz!
The phone vibrated, and he looked down.
Zhou Wuren, who hadn't replied, finally sent a message.
