Dashing Student

Chapter 193 - 193, Kicked an Iron Plate

Upon hearing Dog Master’s question, Wang He’s heart leaped with joy, knowing that once Dog Master took notice of his injuries, he would definitely help him seek revenge.

Without a moment’s hesitation, he quickly said, "Replying to Dog Master, it was a nobody! That guy is really strong, the five of us brothers joined forces and still weren’t a match for him."

Dog Master hummed indifferently, without saying much, and turned his head to Zhou Long beside him, saying respectfully, "Lord Zhou, Wang He is here, what did you want with him?"

Learning that it was Lord Zhou who wanted to see them, Wang He and his four underlings’ hearts raced and their eyes gleamed; clearly, they had not expected the exalted Lord Zhou to want to meet them.

This gave them a feeling as if bliss had fallen from the sky.

Zhou Long smiled and said, "It’s not me who wishes to meet these brothers, it’s Mr. Chen who wants to see them."

"You guys don’t just stand there, sit down at your leisure!"

Zhou Long’s words made the five of them breathe rapidly, feeling like they were receiving unexpected honor.

They didn’t know who this so-called Mr. Chen was.

But one thing was obvious.

A man who could make Lord Zhou address him as ’Mister’ and for whom the seat of honor was reserved, had a background beyond their imagination and conjecture.

"Sorry for being late; I got a little held up," someone said.

Just as the five of them had taken their seats,

the door was pushed open.

Immediately, an apologetic, yet familiar voice made Wang He and the others shiver.

They turned their heads subconsciously, and when they saw Chen Nan, Wang He suddenly stood up, pointing at Chen Nan and addressing Dog Master and Zhou Long, "Dog Master, Lord Zhou, this is the nobody who beat up us five brothers in the barbecue city."

He excitedly looked at Chen Nan, his eyes revealing a playful smile, mistaking Chen Nan for someone who had entered the wrong room, "Little nobody, I really didn’t expect to meet you here."

"It’s like you passed by heaven’s gate without entering and barged into hell without a door!"

The four underlings behind him also grinned, in their eyes, Chen Nan’s accidental arrival was no different from walking into the hall of the King of Hell.

After all, they had just been beaten up by this guy, and now they had been summoned by a mysterious big shot.

How could this mysterious big shot not seek justice for them?

At that moment,

Zhou Long let out a heavy snort of contempt, "Wang He, do you not know that it was Mr. Chen himself who asked for you by name? How dare you show disrespect to Mr. Chen, are you tired of living?"

He was unaware that Wang He and his men had offended Chen Nan, and now that he knew the truth, he felt an intense anger rising within him.

Because he knew.

If there were any conflicts between Chen Nan and Wang He and his men, it surely stemmed from Wang He’s behavior.

With Chen Nan’s nature, he certainly wouldn’t trouble others without good reason.

Boom!

Zhou Long’s words struck like thunder from a clear sky, instantly making Wang He and his four underlings’ scalps tingle, their hearts turning over like huge waves.

At this moment,

they thought they were experiencing auditory hallucinations.

They couldn’t believe that the nobody who had fought them in the barbecue city was actually the mysterious big shot whom even Lord Zhou had to address as ’Mister’ and yield the seat of honor to.

Before the five could regain their senses, Chen Nan had already nonchalantly taken his seat at the place of honor.

During this time,

both Dog Master and Lord Zhou stood up respectfully to greet him.

Only at this moment,

did they wake up from the dream, realizing they had offended a mysterious authority figure.

With this in mind, Wang He’s demeanor underwent a noticeable shift as he looked at Chen Nan with alarm, his face filled with fear and anxiety, "I’m sorry, Mr. Chen, I was blind to your greatness. Please, be the bigger person and forgive my petty offenses. Just let me off like a fart!"

His four underlings were also shivering in fear.

For them, Lord Long was already an untouchable figure in their minds.

Not to mention even Lord Long was so wary of Chen Nan.

To someone like him, killing them would indeed be easier than crushing an ant.

Chen Nan spoke lightly, "If I really wanted to trouble you, why would I bother calling you here?"

Hearing this, the fear in Wang He’s heart noticeably abated.

Indeed.

For such a high and mighty figure, if he truly wanted to cause trouble for someone, he could do it with just a word. Why bother taking extra steps?

After all, a person of his stature would have precious time.

There’s absolutely no need to waste it on insignificant people like them.

Chen Nan asked calmly, "Do you know why I asked to see you?"

Wang He nervously swallowed and cautiously asked, "Is it because of the photos?"

Chen Nan said, "You are indeed a smart person, but you’ve been too arrogant and overbearing in your actions."

Wang He promptly said, "Mr. Chen, I hope you can give me a chance to make amends. I will surely turn over a new leaf, sincerely reform, and live a good life."

Chen Nan stated, "Delete all those photos."

Wang He quickly pulled out a USB drive from his pocket and respectfully placed it on the round table, "The photos are all on this USB drive. Please take it!"

Chen Nan asked again, "You don’t have any other backups, right?"

Wang He, suppressing the unease in his heart, said, "No, no, there are no other backups. All the photos are on the USB drive."

Let alone having backups; even if he did, he would delete them immediately.

"I’ll keep the USB drive," Chen Nan’s tone changed, and his gaze projected an eerie coldness, "Xu Lu is now an employee in my shop. If you dare harass her again, I’ll make you understand what it means to wish you were dead."

Wang He’s head shook like a bobblehead, "Wouldn’t dream of it, wouldn’t dream of it!"

Chen Nan said, "Get lost!"

"Yes, yes, we’re going right away!" With that, Wang He and his people scuttled off like they had been granted an amnesty, as if they were dogs that had lost their homes.

After they left, Chen Nan turned to Dog Brother and said politely, "Thank you for calling them here. I should really have a drink with you to express my gratitude, but I’m not feeling well today. Let’s get together another time!"

Dog Brother was flattered, "Helping Mr. Chen is part of my duties. You’re too polite."

Chen Nan smiled, then said to Zhou Long, "Brother Long, go wait for me in the car. I need to use the restroom." With that, he headed straight for the restroom.

------

At one-thirty in the morning, Chen Nan returned to Jinxiu Qiancheng District.

He sneaked into the house and saw that Nie Xiaoyu and Xu Lu had already fallen asleep.

He tried his best not to make any noise, changed his shoes, went back to the bedroom to get some fresh clothes, and then took a shower in the bathroom.

After the shower, he returned to the bedroom feeling refreshed.

He had intended to go to sleep, but a glimpse caught in the corner of his eye landed on the USB drive on the study desk, stirring something inside him, and the appealing figure of Xu Lu appeared in his mind.

If there really were intimate photos of Xu Lu inside, they must be quite sensational, right?

If I just take a sneak peek, nobody would know, right?

With that thought, Chen Nan shuddered, "How could this be considered sneaking a peek? Clearly, I just want to verify the authenticity of the photos in the USB drive to see if Wang He has lied to me."

Chen Nan thought to himself, a sly smile spreading across his face. Then he turned on the computer and inserted the USB drive into the computer port...
