Chapter 226: Going To Great Lengths For Uncle!
Chen Han truly did not expect that the one fated with his uncle would be Ms. Liao, who had become a genuine rich and beautiful woman after her burns were healed.
At this moment, she was scolding that man, who still had abrasions on his body and looked utterly miserable, clearly having triggered a minor punishment as a warning.
Watching a great beauty scolding a scumbag, many tourists had gathered around, all holding their mobile phones to record.
“Uncle, your peach blossom luck is pretty good!” Chen Han teased with a smile.
Chen Lin looked at the other end of the red thread appearing on Ms. Liao’s wrist, his face full of confusion. “Xiao Han, don’t make fun of me. I am so many years older than her.”
“Uncle, that’s an inferiority complex!” Chen Han smiled and kept teasing. “You really don’t need to feel that way. Our Chen Clan is doing well now, you are still the Hall Master of the Crafting Hall of the Chen Clan, and more importantly, you are now someone who cultivates.”
“After eating so much medicinal cuisine and now cultivating 《the Chen Clan Qi Cultivation Method》, with your physical condition, women will really like you, because they also want to fly to the sky!”
“Besides, you are now an extraordinary man. Among domestic martial artists, even those international martial arts champions and boxing champions would not be able to defeat you, uncle.”
“In short dramas, you could at least play a big shot.”
“What do you mean fly to the sky?” Chen Lin asked blankly.
“…” Chen Han was speechless, not knowing how to explain, and not sure whether his uncle was pretending not to understand or really did not get it.
At this time, Liao Shuang was clearly furious. She slapped the man several times in the face. “Sun Hai, I swear I have never wronged you. Two hundred thousand a month, and that still could not buy your genuine feelings for me!”
Sun Hai had never expected that the bad luck for doing bad things to the Chen Clan would turn out to be real, and that he would start getting unlucky as soon as he entered the Chen Clan.
The key was that Liao Shuang had immediately linked it to this. That was something he had never imagined.
Does doing bad things necessarily mean cheating?
That was the least of it.
So he hurriedly knelt down. “Shuangshuang, don’t misunderstand me. I did make mistakes, which is why I have such bad luck at the Chen Clan, but it is definitely not because I betrayed you. You have to believe me.”
He admitted fault in the most humble way and begged for forgiveness.
After all, the other party’s father had no son. As long as he secured her and married into the Liao family, he had ways to obtain huge benefits. Ultimately, his plan was to seize what was theirs.
He had approached her when she was disfigured and put in so much effort. He absolutely did not want to fail at this stage. To accomplish big things, forbearance was the most important thing.
Even if it meant kneeling humbly.
“Sun Hai, there is no need to quibble.” Liao Shuang took two documents out of her bag. On top of them were the information of two women.
Seeing the photos, Sun Hai was stunned.
They were exactly the two women he had kept outside. Out of the two hundred thousand a month, he gave each of the two women thirty thousand. The two women were obedient like dogs, just as he appeared to be before Liao Shuang.
After all, with Liao Shuang, he always wanted her face covered, and even needed medicine to get aroused. He always had to console himself.
He simply had not expected that her face could be cured, and so beautifully at that. If he had known, why would he have kept women outside?
Liao Shuang already had a great figure; add that face, and any man would want to sleep with her.
The key was how she had found out about those two women and even dug them out.
He had obviously been very careful.
“Shuangshuang, I was wrong. Give me another chance.” Sun Hai hurriedly begged for forgiveness, his expression appearing even more sincere.
“Get lost!” Liao Shuang said coldly in one sharp word, then turned and left.
When Sun Hai tried to cling to her, the two bodyguards with Liao Shuang blocked him.
Helpless, Sun Hai could only get up with a gloomy face and turn to leave.
Having fawned over Liao Shuang for so long, there was no way he would just give up.
Since she was heartless, he would not bother with righteousness either. Just as he was thinking this, he let out an “ow” and fell hard to the ground, his face smashed and bleeding.
Watching this scene, Chen Han knew that this ex-boyfriend of Ms. Liao must have made some serious mistakes.
They saw him get up and run toward the outside of the Chen Clan, only to stumble and fall again not long after.
So ruthless. Had he played with a whole group of women?
The surrounding tourists, having seen the scene just now, were also full of emotion.
He was absolutely a super scumbag.
Seeing Chen Han and his uncle, Liao Shuang forced herself to remain calm, walked up to them, and first expressed her thanks. “Chen Family Head, thank you for clearing up my doubts last time.”
Chen Han smiled and said, “Ms. Liao, actually you already had the answer in your heart.”
Only Chen Lin looked uneasy, his eyes unconsciously glancing at the red thread on Liao Shuang’s wrist.
He had already had dealings with Ms. Liao before because of the factory matter, but what he saw now left him very confused.
Why was the red thread connected to her again?
He had never thought about relationships in his life. He only wanted to be a good guardian for his nephew.
That was what he thought, but the scene in front of him made him feel very awkward.
Fortunately, she clearly could not see the red rope. Truly the Matchmaker God was blessing him.
Not continuing on that topic, Liao Shuang said, “Chen Family Head, I have a presumptuous request. I plan to build an aloe vera and beauty product raw materials planting base in Linhe County, but I am not familiar with the situation there. Could I ask for someone from the Chen Clan to act as a guide?”
The planting base was something she had promised County Magistrate Chu at first. Later, because the Liangmei Group’s formula was exposed and Liangmei collapsed, companies capable of producing related products would not miss such a chance.
They could directly tweak the formula a bit and make products with similar effects.
The market Liangmei left behind was not small.
Kaiwei Group, her company, already had business in beauty products, so they naturally could not miss it. As a result, the planting base would be much larger than originally planned, and they were also considering setting up a factory in Linhe County.
Since she had already done County Magistrate Chu this favor, she might as well make it bigger. This way she could come to Linhe County more often and get more familiar with the Chen Clan.
No one knew the Chen Clan’s miraculous nature better than she did. To say nothing of the terrifying scar removal cream, just the blessing method that healed her eyes was absolutely astonishing.
Hearing this, Chen Han smiled and looked over at his uncle. “Ms. Liao, you are a pious devotee of our Chen Clan. How about this: let my uncle be your tour guide. If you have any needs at the Chen Clan, you can also speak to my uncle.”
Given the situation, he naturally had to play the matchmaker properly and create opportunities for his uncle.
Chen Lin was completely dumbfounded.
Why was his nephew arranging this for him?
He was already feeling awkward and would have preferred to leave quickly. Instead, this was making trouble for him.
“Thank you for the trouble, Hall Master Chen,” Liao Shuang said to Chen Lin in gratitude.
Chen Lin’s mouth twitched. He was not good at refusing others, and now under such circumstances, how could he refuse?
Chen Han said to his uncle with a smile, “Uncle, we still need to arrange suitable people to watch over the artifact refining furnace. The fire cannot be allowed to go out.”
“…” When Chen Lin wanted to say something, he realized his nephew had already decisively left.
Only he and Ms. Liao were left.
He really did not know how to start a conversation.
He felt a little guilty as he looked at the red thread connecting his wrist and hers.
Liao Shuang spoke again. “Hall Master Chen, tomorrow morning I need to go to Zhongyang Village in Linhe County to inspect some land. I do not trust the people from Linhe County or the local towns. I need to investigate privately, so I will have to trouble you then.”
“O-okay!” Chen Lin hesitantly agreed. After they parted, he watched the red thread stretching longer and longer as she walked away, feeling extremely speechless.
After that, he hurried to find his nephew and finally saw him by the furnace, holding his mobile phone and recording.
He walked up and sighed. “Xiao Han, why did you have me accompany her? Anyone can act as a guide.”
Instead, Chen Han asked, “Uncle, how did your chat with Ms. Liao go? Any progress?”
“…” Seeing his nephew answering with a different question, Chen Lin said helplessly, “Xiao Han, I am talking about serious matters. Have someone else accompany Ms. Liao tomorrow!”
Chen Han stopped recording and instructed his uncle, “Uncle, a person must be trustworthy. Also, Ms. Liao is a pious devotee of our Chen Clan, so you should accompany her properly. By the way, do you want me to create a hero-saves-the-beauty opportunity for you?”
“…” Chen Lin felt he and his nephew were talking past each other, completely unable to communicate, and could only feel utterly helpless.
“Uncle, you can do it!” Chen Han said to his uncle, then returned to his own courtyard. As for the hero saves the beauty matter, he thought he could help his uncle arrange it.
After all, this was the best way to help deepen their feelings.
He was going to great lengths for his uncle.
Chen Lin was completely resigned. He had people from the Work Hall watch the furnace, then remained very conflicted, even almost losing sleep all night.
Early the next morning, after cultivating at the special spiritual aperture, he hoped that Ms. Liao had forgotten about yesterday’s matter, or treated it as mere politeness, and did not really intend to ask for someone from the Chen Clan as a guide.
But right then, Ms. Liao called and asked if he could set out.
What could he do?
Just as his nephew had said, he had to keep his word. More importantly, his nephew, the patriarch, had already assigned him to her and would not replace him. He was completely helpless.
So he could only agree, go back to his courtyard to wash his face, change the tools he was taking out, greet his nephew in the kitchen, and head out.
After adding water to the medicinal cuisine, Chen Han learned that his uncle was going to accompany Ms. Liao to inspect the place. He called his junior sister to watch over the medicinal cuisine, then asked her for the car keys and followed his uncle out.
Creating a hero-saves-the-beauty opportunity for his uncle was still his plan, and it was very simple. For example, if Ms. Liao twisted her ankle while walking, his uncle could step up.
As for how to make Ms. Liao twist her ankle, he had plenty of ways.
He also believed this would work very well, especially since, by the time they reached the gate, he could still see the red thread connecting his uncle’s and Ms. Liao’s wrists.
Ms. Liao simply did not know. However, since this special red thread proved they were fated, many things would naturally fall into place.
Today, Ms. Liao brought two bodyguards, and his uncle acted as the guide.
After his uncle and Ms. Liao got into one car, Chen Han got into his junior sister’s car. But just after he drove out of the Chen Clan Parking Lot following them, he noticed that there were two cars following his uncle’s and Ms. Liao’s car.
At first, Chen Han thought it was a coincidence, since there were many cars going in and out of the Chen Clan now.
But when his uncle’s and Ms. Liao’s car turned toward Zhongyang Town and made several consecutive turns, and those two cars were still there, he sensed something was wrong.
He also noticed those two cars looked very professional, hanging back just enough that his uncle and the others did not notice them.
In modern society, people generally do not pay attention to whether there is a car following them.
The main reason was that the driver taking Liao Shuang kept watching Chen Lin through the rearview mirror. In modern society, everyone goes online to watch videos.
He naturally knew this man was a Chen Clan Master and the Hall Master of the Crafting Hall, so he was very curious and kept watching.
As a bodyguard, he regularly trained in fighting, so he naturally felt a strong urge to challenge such an expert. Not only him, the other bodyguard felt the same.
It was only due to professional ethics that they did not show it.
Zhongyang Town was one of the more famous towns in Linhe County. Planting industries were relatively developed here, but there was still no large-scale planting.
Also, after a planting company went bankrupt, the base they had operated here was left idle and now awaited sublease.
The county hoped that Liao Shuang would take over, so their descriptions had naturally painted the place as excellent, full of benefits and definitely cost-effective.
But the specifics had to be determined by her own on-site inspection, and she could not be accompanied by people from Linhe County or Zhongyang Town, or there would be an information gap.
Naturally, beyond this planting land, if planting expanded, more land would be contracted later, depending on the outcome of this inspection.
If the gap between the described conditions and the actual conditions was too great, she was not a fool. Even for the Chen Clan’s sake, she could not invest too much in Linhe County at once.
After getting out of the car, under Chen Lin’s guidance, Liao Shuang entered the planting forest area, unaware that two cars had already stopped below and many people were watching them from a distance.
“Brother Hai, they have gone into the mountain,” one man said with a grin.
Sun Hai sneered. “That gives us an excellent opportunity. Since failing to take over the nest, this time we must at least bleed the Liao family. We grab Liao Shuang and whisk her away overnight. Don’t tell me we can’t squeeze a few hundred million from her bank cards.”
Clearly, this was organized and premeditated. The men he brought all looked vicious.
“Brother Hai, there is a problem. A Chen Clan Master seems to be with them,” one subordinate said with a frown.
Videos of the Chen Clan Masters’ skills were all over the internet. They seemed truly formidable.
“Hmph, what use is a master?” Sun Hai said, pulling out a clearly custom-modified handgun from some private workshop. Seeing this, the men he brought instantly grew more confident.
No matter how good the kung fu, you still fear a kitchen knife, let alone this thing.
（Don’t make a fuss over this!）
Seeing Liao Shuang and the others enter the forest, Sun Hai immediately led his people in after them.
They, however, did not realize that someone was already following them from behind.
Chen Han was very surprised. With his eyesight enhanced by all the Moon Gazing Sand he had consumed, he recognized Sun Hai at a glance, with a bandage wrapped around his head.
All of this clearly proved that this man had approached Ms. Liao with a purpose from the very start. Otherwise, he could not have gathered these people so fast.
Now he must be planning to make a big score.
No wonder he had such bad luck yesterday. Clearly, his wrongdoing went far beyond cheating.
…
Chen Lin, for his part, was conscientious. He knew all the ins and outs of these planting lands and took Liao Shuang to all the key places.
Thus, her inspection let her obtain the most crucial information. Overall, the planting base was indeed good and did not differ much from the descriptions provided by Linhe County.
She also collected several soil samples to send back for composition testing.
“Thank you, Hall Master Chen,” Liao Shuang said, after collecting several samples.
“You are being too polite,” Chen Lin quickly replied.
Having basically finished the inspection, Liao Shuang planned to return to the Chen Clan and wait for the test results to make her next decision.
On the way down the mountain, she took out her mobile phone and filmed the surrounding terrain, so she could make a preliminary geography analysis and plan.
Just as she was filming, a swarm of people suddenly rushed out.
The two bodyguards reflexively stepped in front of her.
Seeing this aggressive group suddenly appear, Chen Lin knew at once that they came with bad intentions, and immediately took up a defensive stance, but the man in the lead made him freeze.
Wasn’t that Ms. Liao’s ex-boyfriend?
Liao Shuang also saw Sun Hai and immediately grew furious. “Sun Hai, what are you doing?”
“Nothing, just specially here to take you away, Shuangshuang. See how devoted I am?” Sun Hai looked at her with mocking eyes, all former humility gone.
What remained was unrestrained madness.
