Chapter 309 Niu Qingqing's Concern
"My name is Li Wannian, and I have come here to pay my respects to Mr. Xiao!"
Early in the morning, sounds could be heard outside Xiao Chen's residence.
Xiao Chen went outside and saw a sprightly old man.
“You are…” he frowned.
He was wearing a human skin mask made of cow star, and the person who came knew it.
"I am Li Wannian, an elder of the Martial Alliance. Because Mr. Xiao has encountered many troubles in the capital, the Alliance Leader specially ordered me to come and act as your guard to prevent those fools from causing further trouble," the old man said with a cupped hand and a smile.
Xiao Chen's expression darkened slightly.
The capital city is the core administrative area of the Martial Alliance, and his every move here cannot escape the Martial Alliance's surveillance.
Although he didn't try to hide it at all...
Xiao Chen thought he had been keeping a low profile enough in the capital, but after he arrived, he had already killed some people, destroyed a family, and crippled some martial artists. The Martial Alliance couldn't stand it anymore.
They specifically arranged for a so-called guard to keep an eye on things.
Rather than saying he came to protect those who were unaware of Xiao Chen's identity and were about to provoke him.
"Do as you please," Xiao Chen said expressionlessly.
The Martial Alliance in the capital region has extensive influence, so even if they drive this person away, it won't make much difference.
After casually dismissing Li Wan, Xiao Chen's cell phone rang.
It was a cell phone I got from Niu Xingxing; the caller ID read "Little Sister".
“Little sister? Niu Qingqing…” Xiao Chen immediately made the connection.
When Niu Zheng, the head of the Niu family, was young, he was a playboy who liked to have affairs and had more than one illegitimate child.
Besides Xiao Chen, Niu Zheng also has an illegitimate daughter.
The illegitimate daughter's name is Niu Qingqing. She is Niu Xingxing's half-sister and entered the Niu family around the same time as Niu Xingxing.
Naturally, she was also disliked and, like Xiao Chen, suffered humiliation and endured humiliation as she grew up in the Niu family.
The eldest son of the Niu family, Niu Shaolong, and his mother are vicious, while Xiao Chen and Niu Qingqing endure humiliation and low status.
Niu Zheng, the head of the Niu family, hardly ever cared about them. At most, he would say a few words when he couldn't stand the mother and son going too far.
Perhaps due to their shared fate, Niu Qingqing and Niu Xingxing became very close, their relationship like that of siblings.
These two were the closest relatives to each other in the entire Niu family.
Xiao Chen answered the phone.
"Brother Xiao, where are you?" Niu Qingqing asked anxiously as soon as the call connected.
Xiao Chen remained silent for a moment.
"Brother Xiao, say something! Where have you been these past two days? Why haven't you answered my calls? I've been looking for you! Tell me quickly, where are you now?" Niu Qingqing asked repeatedly.
Xiao Chen thought for a moment and then told her the address.
"I'm coming to find you right away, wait for me..."
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
Niu Qingqing is very fast.
Not long after the call, she arrived at the location and called Xiao Chen to come and pick her up.
As Xiao Chen walked out of the villa complex, he saw a girl in a light yellow dress looking around by the roadside from afar.
Upon seeing Xiao Chen, she immediately ran to him.
Her hair looked a little messy, as if she had just been through something.
"Why are you here?" Xiao Chen asked.
“My third brother has woken up and is fine now. He was worried that something might happen to you after he found out what happened, so he asked me to come back and help you,” Niu Qingqing replied.
"Brother Xiao, this is where high-ranking officials and nobles live. How did you end up here?" Niu Qingqing asked curiously.
“I live here now,” Xiao Chen replied.
"You live here?" Niu Qingqing looked surprised.
"Come inside with me first," Xiao Chen said, leading her towards the villa.
The grandeur of the villa broadened Niu Qingqing's horizons, and she blinked her bright, watery eyes, looking around incessantly.
"Brother Xiao, is this the place that Miss Lin Qingxue of the Lin family arranged for you to stay?" Niu Qingqing asked as she walked.
"Lin Qingxue? What does she have to do with you?" Xiao Chen paused slightly.
"Don't you know? Your affair with Lin Qingxue has been known all along!" Niu Qingqing said. "Brother Xiao, you're really something. You actually managed to win over the eldest daughter of the Lin family. I heard she's the most beautiful woman in Yingcai, and she doesn't even give a damn about the young masters from various noble families who are pursuing her..." Niu Qingqing covered her mouth and laughed.
"That's not true. Don't listen to other people's nonsense." Xiao Chen's expression darkened slightly.
He doesn't like getting involved in such trouble.
"Don't try to hide it from me. If it weren't for Lin Qingxue, how could you possibly be living here? It's not like it's a bad thing." Niu Qingqing said with a playful expression.
"Let's not talk about that. Did you call me here for something?" Xiao Chen changed the subject.
Niu Qingqing's smile vanished, and her expression turned serious.
"Actually, this matter is also related to Lin Qingxue..."
"Rumor has it that Lin Qingxue has a fiancé, Yu Bin, the eldest son of the Yu family, the most powerful family in the West District. After news of your affair with Lin Qingxue spread, he was furious... Moreover, you even injured one of his men..."
"The day before yesterday, Yu Bin led a group of people to the Niu family in a menacing manner, demanding that the Niu family hand you over, otherwise he would use the power of the Yu family to suppress the Niu family."
"The Niu family is terrified, and the higher-ups are furious. They want to arrest you, punish you severely, and hand you over to the Yu family's young master to take the blame. Both the Yu and Niu families have been looking for you these past two days, but they haven't been able to find you anywhere."
"I never expected you to end up here..."
After listening, Xiao Chen frowned slightly.
He hates all kinds of entanglements, yet he gets caught up in them nonetheless.
“Brother Xiao, the young master of the Yu family will not let you off!” Niu Qingqing said with a worried expression. “Niu Shaolong is gloating and is also looking for your whereabouts so that he can curry favor with the Yu family.”
"You should lay low for a while."
As she spoke, Niu Qingqing opened her collar and carefully took out a bulging paper bag from her bosom.
"Here's two hundred thousand yuan. Although you might not be short of it, take it and hide for now..." She handed a bag of money to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen glanced at the paper bag but didn't take it.
"Where did you get 200,000?" Xiao Chen asked, staring at Niu Qingqing.
The matriarch of the Niu family is very strict and hates her two illegitimate children, so she would never let them have access to so much money.
“I…” Niu Qingqing couldn’t speak, her eyes darting away.
“Brother Xiao, don’t worry about where I got him. You’re now acting as my third brother, so we can’t let things get any worse, or he’ll have nowhere to go in the future,” Niu Qingqing sighed.
“The Yu family is powerful and influential, and we can’t afford to offend them. The Niu family is eager to hand you over and won’t offer you any protection. You have to rely on yourself.”
Xiao Chen still refused to take the paper bag.
If he really leaves, Niu Qingqing will definitely be the one to suffer.
Besides, he didn't even need to leave.
Seeing that Xiao Chen wouldn't accept it, Niu Qingqing got anxious and immediately tried to force a paper bag of money into Xiao Chen's hand.
"I don't want it." Xiao Chen calmly pushed it away.
With his gentle push, Niu Qingqing showed a pained expression.
"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Chen asked, puzzled.
"No...it's nothing..." Niu Qingqing said.
Xiao Chen looked at her for two seconds, then frowned.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen grabbed her small hand and rolled up her sleeve.
What came into view were rows of bluish-purple wounds...
In some places, blood was still seeping out, sticking to the clothes, and the skin was torn and bleeding!
"Who did this?!"
