Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)

Chapter 79

"What is it?" Fade Chen asked.

Tom Wei said thoughtfully, "It's about my aunt. Two years ago, my cousin left home after she had a quarrel with my uncle again. My aunt was so worried about my cousin she chased after her. Unexpectedly, on the way, my aunt encountered a car accident and was hit by a truck. She was seriously injured and is still in a coma til now."

"And after the incident, investigation revealed that the truck driver involved in the accident was sent by my second uncle's rival and my second uncle was the target. However, in a twist of fate, he accidentally rammed into my second aunt."

"Because of this, the conflict between my cousin and my second uncle reached its peak. The two almost broke the relationship between father and daughter, and my sister also moved out of the house immediately." Tom Wei said with a sigh, "At that time, my second uncle wanted to quit the underworld business. But when he thought of my second aunt's condition and that the situation may be worse after quitting, my second uncle eventually stayed on."

"After a year, my uncle finally defeated his rival and eliminated the other party's gang leader to avenge my aunt. But his relationship with my cousin was irreparable."

Fade was overcome by emotion after listening to Tom Wei's story. He didn't expect that a fearsome leader who commanded the North Bay in Bay City would have such a painful, untold story.

Tom Wei continued after a pause, "Although the rival's leader was defeated, his younger brother escaped. So, my uncle has been worrying about the safety of my cousin. But with their current estranged relationship, my uncle can't send someone to protect my cousin openly. He can only protect her in secret. Even so, my cousin would find out about these secret bodyguards after some time and she would call the police immediately to get rid of them.

"My second uncle has no choice but to change batches after batches of people. This method is not a problem during ordinary times."

"But recently, my second uncle got the news that the younger brother of that gang leader has returned. Therefore, my second uncle is very worried about my cousin's safety, yet he couldn't get close to her. So he asked me to find a way to hire someone new to get close to my cousin so as to protect her in secret."

Hearing this, Fade Chen finally figured out what Tom Wei wanted. He wanted someone to approach this woman, befriend her and then discreetly protect her.

This job was a piece of cake for Fade Chen. However, it was a little difficult in terms of time. After all, Fade Chen now had his own family and work. If he really wanted to go undercover, he might not have the time.

Fade Chen was honest towards Tom Wei about this inconvenience.

However, Tom Wei shook his head and said to Fade Chen, "Brother Fade, this is not a problem at all."

"Er, what do you mean?" Fade Chen was in doubts.

Tom Wei leaned over to Fade Chen and said, "Because my cousin is this woman!"

While speaking, Tom Wei unlocked his mobile phone, clicked open a photo and handed it to Fade Chen.

When Fade Chen saw the person in the photo, he was shocked. "What? Your cousin is Lily Wei, from the HR Department of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc?"

"Yes, it's her!" Tom Wei laughed and said, "Brother Fade, now you know why I said that it's not a problem. You are now working in the same company as her, and you see her every day. Moreover, I also heard that you and her seem to be quite close. This way, Brother Fade, you are the perfect person for the job."

Fade Chen was still in shock. He had never thought that the beautiful HR director of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc was the daughter of Bay City's underground gang leader.

Fade Chen recalled the last time when they encountered trouble on the road. Knowing Lily Wei's background now, it could explain why she knew the nooks and crannies of Reed Street then.

Tom Wei looked at the stunned Fade Chen and moved closer to him, so close that his face almost touched Fade Chen's. "Brother Fade, so you're game. After all, you and Lily are colleagues. Besides, Lily is talented and beautiful. If things go well, Brother Fade, perhaps you will win her heart and become a couple!"

Fade rolled his eyes at Tom and said, "Hey, Dude. Don't get so close to me, I'm straight. Consider this done."

"Thank you so much, bro." Tom Wei rejoiced. "Just tell me if you need anything. I will do anything for you."

"Fine. Just help me get the information about Fire Flame Plant as soon as possible," Fade Chen said.

"Don't you worry, Brother Fade. I shall mobilize the Long Enterprise team to track down the Fire Flame Plant immediately when I return." Tom Wei promised.

"Ok, it's getting late. I should go."

Tom Wei later respectfully saw Fade Chen out of the Drunken Parlour. With the Nine Star Plant in hand, Fade Chen returned to Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc while humming a tune.

As soon as he came back, Fade Chen headed straight to the medical center and got his hands busy. An hour later, the Nine Star Plant was reduced to a small bowl of dark liquid which Fade Chen gulped down in one go.

After the liquid entered his body, Fade Chen instantly felt a faint but cooling sensation in his mouth and nostrils. Then, the coolness spread throughout his whole body, making him feel completely relaxed.

This continued for a few hours until the coolness gradually dissipated, and the efficacy of the herb was completely absorbed by his body. Fade Chen felt the Qi circulating inside his body and felt that the Qi in his meridians had somewhat been enhanced.

"The Nine Star Plant is truly worthy of its fame, it does have effects on even someone who has reached transcendent levels like me. Not bad at all." Fade Chen thought.

The Nine Star Plant grew in shady and wet places, absorbing the essence of the starlight, and it is classified as Ying and cold in nature. If consumed by an ordinary person, the body would be damaged by the plant's efficacy. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

But it was a tonic for Fade Chen. This was because Fade Chen practiced the "Kung Fu of Jiu Yang" which was Yang and hot in nature, therefore he needed something cold to mediate his body.

Fade Chen flexed his body and felt an indescribable comfort which made him smile. By then, it was time to get off work. Fade Chen saw Lily Wei heading downstairs. He instinctively packed up and followed her quietly.

Since he had promised Tom Wei to protect Lily Wei, Fade Chen should keep his words. The first day of his undercover mission was to figure out the routine of his target.

Therefore, Fade Chen sent his wife a text message saying that he had something to do that night and would be home late so there's nothing to worry about. Then he transformed into a cloud of shadow and followed Lily Wei downstairs.
