The village beauty and me!

Those who had originally intended to put up a stubborn resistance suddenly began to tremble.

Someone's vision went black and they almost fell into the ditch.

"I said."

"I'll say it first, it was the Ma family from Dongjiang who sent us."

Several people were eager to do their best.

"The one surnamed Ma?" Chen Huan's heart sank.

After all, it should come.

Li Meina had previously warned that the Ma family had already begun investigating Ma Yanping's death.

They've already tracked them down here; this is definitely not a simple matter.

According to the fat man, the car had already appeared when they went to the Chinese Medicine Association for qualification assessment.

In other words, they may have followed them all the way from the countryside.

"Where did you begin the tracking?"

  

"What did the Ma family say?" Chen Huan asked repeatedly with a cold face.

"We received orders to follow them throughout the town."

"The people who contacted us just told us to follow them and report on their actions regularly."

"You must report any special circumstances." Even those who were arrested were eager to provide information.

There is only one Ma family in Dongjiang City.

"You actually offended them?" Zhao Yaru, who had overheard the conversation, couldn't help but look serious.

Clearly, even a powerful family like the Zhao family harbors some apprehension towards the Ma family.

Chen Huan had previously received information that the Ma family was one of the top powers in Dongjiang City, and it now seems that this information was quite accurate.

Chen Huan wasn't nervous or scared.

The fact that the other party identified him as a suspect so quickly and even followed him to the countryside made him worry about the people around him, especially Li Chunlan, who might be affected.

"So what if I offended you?"

"We'll deal with whatever comes our way, let's take care of these bastards first, then we'll go straight to the Ma family. We won't tolerate their bad behavior." The fat man, carrying a metal baseball bat, spoke without any fear.

Zhao Yaru snorted coldly, "You probably don't know the power the Ma family wields in the entire Dongjiang City."

"I admit you're brave, but even the two of you combined are no match for them."

"Chen Huan, what exactly did you do?"

Chen Huan did not answer.

Instead, he looked at the few followers squatting by the ditch in front of him.

He frowned and asked, "Do you have a way to contact me?"

One of them, who seemed to be the leader, quickly pulled out his phone, unlocked it, and showed a number.

Chen Huan dialed directly.

A moment later, a deep male voice came from the other end, "What, any new clues?"

Chen Huan said directly, "I'm Chen Huan. I heard you're quite interested in me?"

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end, then the man's voice became even deeper and more threatening, "Pretty clever, huh? You're no simpleton."

"It seems we haven't come to the wrong person."

Chen Huan raised an eyebrow. "If you're that awesome, why are you sneaking around and being followed?"

"How about I give you my position, and we can meet and I'll see just how capable you are?"

Chen Huan's actions were tantamount to a direct provocation, or even a declaration of war.

He knew very well that the fact that the other party had started tracking him meant that they had deeper suspicions.

Conflict, or even full-scale war, is almost inevitable.

Since that's the case, we might as well be more assertive and not lose momentum from the start.

"You probably don't know who you've offended?" The man on the other end of the phone didn't directly respond to Chen Huan's provocation.

"That's why I wanted to meet you in person and get to know you better."

"You're not some coward in disguise, are you? You don't even have the courage to talk nonsense on the phone." Chen Huan continued to provoke, his attitude extremely arrogant.

"Don't be so arrogant."

"I'll make your wish come true soon. I hope you can stay this optimistic by then." After saying that, the other party hung up the phone.

Chen Huan got up and got into the car.

The atmosphere in the carriage began to become dull.

Zhao Yaru was silent for a moment, then tentatively asked, "We also have some business dealings with the Ma family. The relationship isn't particularly good, but we can at least talk to them."

"If you need it, I can use my connections to mediate between them for you."

"There's no need to be too forceful about some things. Realistically speaking, interests are the most important thing."

Chen Huan smiled and glanced at her, then moved closer to her.

The moment Zhao Yaru blushed, he quickly leaned close and whispered in her ear, "I killed one of their illegitimate children, and I guess they've already found evidence."

Zhao Yaru was utterly shocked, her eyes widening. "What?! You actually..."

Chen Huan withdrew her face and simply smiled at Zhao Yaru.

Zhao Yaru composed herself and said in a very low voice, "Ma Yanping?"

"I heard a while ago that one of their illegitimate children mysteriously disappeared. Did you do that?"

Chen Huan nodded. "That's right, that guy deserved to die, so I sent him to hell."

Now that you know all this, aren't you eager to get away from me?

Zhao Yaru's eye twitched, then she pretended to be relaxed, "Don't underestimate me."

"While our Zhao family wouldn't dare say we're on equal footing with the Ma family, we're not afraid of anyone either."

"I'm just your patient. If they weren't stupid, they wouldn't have caused any trouble."

Although Zhao Yaru spoke with a firm tone, Chen Huan, who was standing close by, could feel that this young lady's heart was racing and her body temperature was rising.

They've clearly sensed the crisis and are on edge.

"Once you've recovered and your illness is cured, please leave as soon as possible."

"I reckon I'll be in a lot of trouble for the next while," Chen Huan said casually as he sat back down in his original spot.

Zhao Yaru frowned but did not respond.

About half an hour later, the fat man slowed down the car.

Then he said, "Miss Zhao, you have arrived at your destination."

This is a building resembling a European manor on the outskirts of the county town.

Spanning over ten acres, nestled amidst verdant hills and clear waters, it possesses a unique charm.

I never expected there would be such a place in the county town.

"We'll talk about what happened earlier later."

"Come with me to meet some friends first." Zhao Yaru's expression returned to normal.

Then they also invited Fatty and Zhao Liping to go together.

"We won't go. It's not classy enough, and we don't want to embarrass Miss Zhao." Zhao Liping was shrewd enough to see that Zhao Yaru's invitation was not sincere, so she immediately declined.

So Chen Huan accompanied Zhao Yaru off the car and towards the entrance not far away.

At that moment, a luxury van of considerable value appeared at the opposite intersection and slowly came to a stop.

Upon seeing the car, Zhao Yaru, who had been calm, suddenly frowned.

His expression turned strange.

"What, did you see a ghost in broad daylight?"

"Who's in that car? Could it be your ex-boyfriend?" Chen Huan teased with a grin.

Zhao Yaru glanced at him. "I don't have that many ex-boyfriends."

"However, you'll probably find the people in that car very interesting."

"It belongs to the Ma family."
