1037: Chapter 138: If Gentleness Doesn’t Work, Try Force!

“You keep investigating the paternity test; whether it’s true or not, I want to know what’s going on!”

Xiao Chen instructed Leng Yue before he hung up the phone.

“Does hubby have any energy left for tonight, or do you want another round of thrilling exercise?”

Jiang Meng stuck her head out of the room and smiled.

“As long as you’re not afraid, what do I have to be scared of?”

Xiao Chen pounced on Jiang Meng.

Another crazy night ensued.

An hour later, Jiang Meng asked, “Feeling any better now?”

“I never felt bad.

Seeing my wife always lifts my spirits.”

Xiao Chen smiled.

“Anyway, if something’s bothering you and you want to share the burden, come to me–I’m your wife!”

Jiang Meng said.

“There’s not much to it, really.

Just that out of nowhere, this black-gold aristocratic Duanmu Family shows up saying I’m their Young Master and brings a paternity test.”

Xiao Chen then told Jiang Meng everything he had found out so far.

“How can they do this!

It’s utterly shameless!

If that paternity test is fake, then they are just shameless.

But if it’s real, that ‘father’ is worse than a pig or a dog!”

Jiang Meng said indignantly, “Where was he all these years, and now when they need a scapegoat, they’ve set their sights on you?

The world doesn’t work like that.

No way, we are not going!”

“Of course I’m not going, I have parents, I have nothing to do with the Duanmu Family!”

Xiao Chen laughed and said, “Let’s sleep, you have work tomorrow.”

After talking for a while, they fell soundly asleep.

When they got up in the morning, Xiao Chen drove Jiang Meng to work.

He had to seize these rare moments of leisure.

However, as they reached the entrance of the company, Xiao Chen and Jiang Meng were stopped by several unfamiliar men.

“Wife, you go on to work; I’ll take care of some things.”

Xiao Chen said with a smile.

“Hubby, be careful.”

Jiang Meng looked at Xiao Chen with concern, then said to the company’s security guard, “Make sure Xiao Chen is safe,” before she entered the office building.

“Let me introduce myself.

I am Duanmu Yun, the Young Master of the Duanmu Family Clan, to be precise, your half-brother.

Come back with me.

As your younger brother, I’ve yet to pay my respects to you properly.

After all, you have the noble blood of the Duanmu Family flowing in your veins.

It’s not right for you to be out here facing disdain from others.”

Duanmu Yun was quite polite in his speech.

Xiao Chen thought of the information Leng Yue had given him–this Duanmu Yun was the only son of Duanmu Lin, and the Duanmu Family was seeking him out to replace Duanmu Yun.

“Didn’t you say no forcing?

I need some time to consider.”

Xiao Chen gave Duanmu Yun a flat look and continued, “Besides, this is the entrance to my wife’s company.

I don’t want to see you here again.”

“Kid, don’t push your luck.

Bringing you back is an honor for you.

If you dare disobey, it won’t just be the Young Master of the Duanmu Family you’ll have to worry about–you might lose your life.”

Duanmu Yun said coldly.

“Heh, you really don’t want to marry into Tajin Country, do you?

Do you think I’m a fool?

Do you think I don’t know what you want me to do?

Get lost–I don’t want to say it a second time.”

Xiao Chen laughed coldly.

“What, you know the truth?”

Duanmu Yun was stunned for a moment, having intended to use a softer approach to deceive Xiao Chen into returning, but it seemed impossible now.

Even by threats or abduction, he had to get Xiao Chen back; otherwise, he’d be the one marrying into that godforsaken place.

Watching Xiao Chen’s retreating figure, Duanmu Yun’s expression turned sinister.

Originally, his father had forbidden him from meddling in the matter and had handed it over entirely to Duanmu Hai, his uncle.

But he was too anxious and had to take matters into his own hands.

Who knew that Xiao Chen somehow found out why the Duanmu Family was acknowledging their relatives, making it impossible to simply invite him back.

Now, more forceful measures would have to be taken.

“Bring him to my hotel in Xiongcheng City tonight,” one of them commanded.

In Duanmu Yun’s eyes, the two bodyguards at his side could easily capture Xiao Chen.

After all, these two bodyguards were third-grade Great Grandmasters.

In a small place like Xiongcheng City, how many people had ever seen a Great Grandmaster, let alone a third-grade one?

That night, Duanmu Yun waited in the hotel for good news.

Those two experts stealthily approached the Dark Moon Club under the cover of darkness.

Although Crow Villa was nice, the Dark Moon Club was closer to the downtown area and more convenient for handling work, so Jiang Meng and Xiao Chen were still staying there.

Besides, the club had already ceased its business to outsiders.

Xiao Chen had just gotten home when he felt someone was watching him.

“Honey, you go back and rest.

I’ll have a smoke,” he said.

He didn’t like smoking in front of Jiang Meng, but the addiction he had developed on the battlefield was impossible to quit.

It was just the way it was.

“Mm.”

Jiang Meng, who had long admired Xiao Chen’s behavior, didn’t ask any questions and walked into the Dark Moon Club.

Xiao Chen sat on the steps, lighting a cigarette, “Come out.”

He spoke to the darkness in the corner.

“Nice place you’ve got here, no wonder you can resist the temptation.

But even if your wife is rich, the identity of a Young Master of an aristocratic clan is beyond your imagination,” said a tall figure who emerged from the corner with a laugh, “Although the Young Master told us to just kidnap you, we still feel you should go back and see for yourself.

Once you go back, you’ll understand how powerful the aristocratic clan is.

Even if you really have to marry into the Tajin Country, so what?

The king of Tajin Country could die on the battlefield at any moment, and then you’d be the king.

You could return any time you want, why oppose the Duanmu Family?”

“Yeah, on the one hand, you have the status of Young Master of an aristocratic clan, and on the other, you’re the enemy of the aristocratic clan.

Such a simple choice, how can you not understand?” added the other person.

“Are you done talking?” Xiao Chen asked indifferently.

“We’re done.

Now, go back and tell your Young Master Duanmu Yun that this is the first time, and I won’t do anything to him.

But if there’s a next time, I assure you he will suffer a lot.

Chaoyang City might be your turf.

But Xiongcheng, my wife calls the shots.”

“That won’t do.

We’re Young Master Yun’s men sent to take you back.

Since you’re not willing to go voluntarily, we have no choice but to take action,” one of them said and immediately charged at Xiao Chen.

To him, it was beneath his dignity as a third-grade Great Grandmaster to do such a thing.

Nevertheless, as long as he got paid, he didn’t care.

But just as he was about to grab Xiao Chen’s shoulder, there was a gleam of knife light in the darkness.

The hand that wanted to grasp Xiao Chen was neatly chopped off.

Ghost Blade emerged from the darkness, his gaze coldly falling on the other person, “Go back.

Xiongcheng is Li Family territory.

This Mr.

Xiao is an honored guest of our Family Head.

Anyone who tries to touch him will die.

I’ll let you off this time since it’s your first offense and you didn’t know, so get lost.”

Xiao Chen had deliberately allowed rumors about his identity to be spread covertly.

He just wanted to keep a low profile.

So in reality, many rumors had nothing to do with him, and he cleverly credited the achievements to his brothers.
