Chapter 173
So, Fade Chen said, "I'll let it go this time. I won't let you off the hook if there is ever a next time."
When he said this, Fade Chen sounded threatening and ominous, forcing everyone else around him to break into a cold sweat.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Chen. If you need our assistance in the future, just let us know." Vice Officer Liu took note of his tone and quickly bowed to express his gratitude. He tried to make Rocky Hu do the same thing.
"Alright, I still need to rest. You can go now." Fade Chen waved his hand, signalling them to leave.
Vice Officer Liu hurriedly led Rocky Hu and all the members of the team to leave, acting as though he was just spared from death.
The way they left contrasted greatly with how they first arrived: loud, rude and relentless. Now, they did not dare to make small talk and briskly left because they were on edge. After all, they would not want to risk making Fade Chen angry again.
As the car drove further and further away from the villa until it was no longer seen, only
then did Yosef Liu manage to gain his marbles. He unbuttoned the button on the top of his collar, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and gasped frantically for breath.
Seeing Yosef Liu's behavior, Rocky Hu, who was seated beside him, was somewhat puzzled and unconvinced at the same time. Hence, he asked, "Vice Officer Liu, why are you being so lenient towards that brat? He's just..."
"Slap!" Vice Officer Liu landed a slap on Rocky Hu's face and said threateningly, "Watch your mouth."
Rocky Hu was stunned and looked at Vice Officer Liu with disbelief.
Vice Officer Liu sighed softly. He looked at Rocky Hu and said, "Don't blame me for being harsh. I'm the one who brought you up, so I'm doing this for your own good."
"But, I..." Rocky Hu was still confused.
Vice Officer Liu said, "Do you know why I rushed here?"
"Wasn't it to pass something over?" Rocky Hu asked.
"Then do you know who asked me to do that?" Vice Officer Liu asked. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Rocky Hu thought for a moment and said, "It was Officer Qin." In Bay City, other than Vice Officer Liu, Officer Qin was the most influential figure in the Stealth Team.
Vice Officer Liu snorted and said, "Officer Qin? He is not qualified to do that. Did you get a look of what I was sending?"
"It looked like a certificate from the Stealth Team!" Rocky Hu couldn't see it clearly. "Is Fade Chen a member of us too?"
"He is indeed a member of Stealth, but he is different from us." Vice Officer Liu said, "Let me tell you, half an hour ago, the Stealth headquarters directly called Officer Qin and asked him to specially take care of the certificate for Mr Chen."
"What? Stealth headquarters!" Rocky Hu was surprised. "Wait, isn't that someone from Capital City? Could it be that Fade Chen is a young master from one of the rich families in Capital City?"
Vice Officer Liu also had some doubts, but he shook his head and said, "A person from a rich family in Capital City? Apart from those really prestigious families that are at the top of Capital City, no one
would be able to get into the Stealth team that easily, and in such a short period of time too."
"If he doesn't belong to one of the rich families of Capital city, then he's..." Rocky Hu's eyes widened, there could only be one possible explanation left.
Vice Officer Liu sighed and said, "Let's stop speculating here. If he's one of the big shots, we're even more so not in the position to guess his true identity. You just need to know one thing, stay away from him."
"Luckily I came in time just now. If I arrived one second later and you had already chose to engage in a fight with Mr Chen, our Stealth subteam in Bay City would be finished. We wouldn't even be able to do anything then." Vice Officer Liu said with a sense of relief.
A chill ran down Rocky Hu's spine when he heard those words. In fact, he had already ordered his men to arrest Fade Chen, just that they were unsuccessful. When he was being strangled by Fade Chen, he thought he was a goner for sure, but he was saved in the nick of time.
Rocky Hu was naive in thinking that Fade Chen couldn't actually do anything to him. After all, he was a member of the Stealth team. But in hindsight, especially after Vice Officer Liu's words, he realized his thinking was foolish beyond measure.
Somebody who could order for the annihilation of the whole Stealth team of Bay City wouldn't hesitate to end him, there and then.
He instinctively touched his neck, grateful that he was still alive, since he had barely managed to save his neck!
In the villa, Quin Lin, who was extremely nervous, was looking through the window trying to figure out the situation outside. The last thing she saw was the figure of the intruders leaving with their tails between their legs, seemingly looking frightful and even respectful. She was puzzled.
"Dear, they are gone. It's all right." Fade Chen closed the door with a smile and walked in. He threw the identification documents on the sofa and then walked toward Quin Lin cheekily.
Quin Lin still was still reeling from the fear of the aftermath, and her face was slightly pale. "Is it really okay? The matter with Shancus Wan..."
Fade Chen smiled and assured, "Don't worry, it's really okay. They will handle everything."
As he spoke, Fade Chen approached Quin Lin and gently wrapped his arms around her slender waist. His lips were inches from her ear as he whispered, "My dear wife, you don't look very well. You must be tired, why don't I give you a massage?"
At the notion of a massage, Quin Lin was immediately reminded of that embarrassing moment where he gave her a massage. She resisted and slid out of Fade Chen's arms and said, "It's okay, I'm going back to my room to get some rest."
"Then I'm going too, my dear wife." Fade Chen followed behind her with a grin.
However, as soon as he took a step forward, his wife turned around and stared at him seriously. "Don't forget our promise."
Fade Chen sighed and could only back off, waving his hand in a gesture of bidding good night. Then, he went into his room and slept soundly.
On the second floor, Quin Lin, who had returned to her room, sat on the edge of the bed, and went through all the things that happened today. She felt that everything seemed to be surreal, as if it was a dream.
She was being forced to marry and at one point was at the edge of despair; she also witnessed an incredible battle between warriors, after which she saw someone die in front of her eyes.
All these things made Quin Lin realize that Fade Chen seemed to be very powerful and much more mysterious than she had imagined.
He was only in his early twenties, but he managed to kill Shancus Wan, who came from a family of martial artists. In the face of the special Stealth team, Fade Chen showed no sign of fear, even having the Vice Officer come apologize to him for their mistake.
Moreover, the documents that he casually threw on the sofa just now also seemed to have a symbol resembling the Stealth's logo and military rank.
"Is Fade Chen a soldier?"
"But looking at his frivolous and lecherous character, he doesn't look like a soldier."
"Why did he appear in my life?"
"Could there be some special motive?"
"Maybe I am thinking too much. After all, Fade Chen has been helping me for the past few months. This time, he even killed people out of anger for me."
As her thoughts ran wild in her head, Quin Lin felt exhausted and fell asleep in no time.
