Chapter 1501 1496: Always Leave Room for Retreat, So You Can Meet Again Later [Part 2]
He Xiaowei's face suddenly turned extremely unsightly. Su Chen had him cornered!But from the brief exchange earlier, he might not necessarily be a match for Su Chen, which only vexed him further.
"Leave some leeway in everything, so we can meet again someday. I believe 'Master Chen' understands this principle. No one can guarantee they won't face misfortune in the future. Is 'Master Chen' really going to push a brother to a dead end?" He Xiaowei's voice was low, with a hint of threat.
"Meet again someday? I think there's no need for us to meet again after today. Cut the crap, hand over the money and let the person go!" Su Chen put away his cavalier attitude and spoke coldly.
No matter what purpose this Fifth Master He had with his interest in Gongzi Ge, it had nothing to do with him. But the problem was he owed Gongzi Ge a favor.
Standing up for Gongzi Ge today was an opportunity for him to repay that favor.
If not for Gongzi Ge's help that day, it would have been difficult for Su Chen to find Chu Xingyao in such a short time.
Even if he managed to find Chu Xingyao, if there were a longer time gap, Chu Xingyao might have already been harmed.
That's why Su Chen stood so firmly on Gongzi Ge's side today, using such aggressive means to strike against He Xiaowei.
Of course, there was another reason: he wanted to earn some pocket money!
Su Chen was heavily in debt these days. Not only did he borrow money from Gu Niwei'er, but also from Nishijiu Sharo and even Diana.
Altogether, it amounted to ten billion US Dollars, and this money needs to be repaid.
Therefore, in that fifty million wager, he must take a share.
Does He Xiaowei not want to pay? Can Su Chen let him off? Absolutely not!
He Xiaowei was also quite depressed. It's just a regular wager, how did it draw in a martial arts person?
Moreover, they could very well be a Martial Artist from the Extraordinary Realm.
If it really came to fighting, he definitely wouldn't be a match.
The scene suddenly froze.
Fifty million in cash, he definitely couldn't come up with.
He hadn't been in Jiangdu long enough to make his mark. Otherwise, Su Chen wouldn't have been unaware of his existence.
During this time, he was busy "fighting for the world," so his economic capabilities weren't strong. Otherwise, he wouldn't have coveted Gongzi Ge and her assets.
This was because he fancied Gongzi Ge as a person, but also because Gongzi Ge was alone, with no background, yet controlled significant assets. A man of no guilt with a tempting treasure; that's the reasoning.
Before making a move, he had repeatedly checked the intelligence on Gongzi Ge, but there was absolutely no vital condition that showed Gongzi Ge had a Martial Artist behind her, right?
If he had known Gongzi Ge had an Extraordinary Realm Martial Artist backing her, he wouldn't dare make a move on Gongzi Ge even if beaten to death.
Su Chen's tough and domineering stance surprised everyone. After a brief silence, He Xiaowei spoke: "I can't come up with fifty million right now."
"You can write an IOU."
He Xiaowei: "..."
"I think there are quite a few wealthy people present. Fifty million... hmm, Young Li could come up with that easily, right?"
Su Chen somehow spotted Li Lin through the crowd.
At that moment, Li Lin was in a passive position.
To lend or not to lend?
What does this have to do with me!
Would lending fifty million to He Xiaowei mean ever getting it back?
This is between you and He Xiaowei, why ask me for money?
Li Lin wanted to refuse, but looking at Su Chen, he found he couldn't say no.
"I..." Li Lin hesitated, wanting to agree.
But then He Xiaowei spoke up.
"Forget the IOU. I can't come up with the money right now, but my senior can. If you're brave enough, we can go to my senior's martial arts school right now. If you win against my senior... I'll throw in an extra thirty million!"
He Xiaowei only mentioned that if Su Chen won against his senior, he'd get another thirty million. But what if Su Chen lost?
"Don't..." Gongzi Ge wanted to warn Su Chen against agreeing.
"Alright." But Su Chen agreed readily.
"Su Chen... Master Chen, it's fine. I'm already quite satisfied with the events of tonight."
Gongzi Ge's attitude towards Su Chen changed too, calling him 'Master Chen', whom even former mogul Chen Shuo had to bow down to.
She had regarded him as an insignificant figure.
Looking back, it all seemed utterly ridiculous.
But Su Chen himself didn't seem to care, which was quite amusing.
Meanwhile, He Yutong standing beside said, "Su Chen, did you drink too much? How about we head home? You could be detained if you partake in fighting..."
Earlier, the drinking contest scene featuring Su Chen had astonished this simple girl.
Oh my, someone actually drank twenty catties of white wine?
And it wasn't the low-proof kind.
A normal person would vomit after drinking twenty catties of water in one go, right?
"It's fine, don't worry about me," Su Chen reassured He Yutong. "That Qi..."
"Xiaohu, Master Chen, you can just call me Xiaohu." Qi Xiaohu eagerly responded.
Su Chen's existence had successfully shattered Qi Xiaohu's worldview; he was simply astounding!
The driving skills were superb, his drinking capacity was that of a liquor deity, and even his status was one to look up to. Didn't you see even Brother Shuo call him Master Chen?
In contrast to He Xiaowei, who had just easily defeated Chen Shuo's six bodyguards with ease.
Yet when it came to Su Chen, Su Chen's casual move made even this Fifth Master He back down.
Though everyone didn't quite understand what exactly happened.
But anyone with a bit of brain could guess it had something to do with Su Chen lightly knocking He Xiaowei's hand aside.
And coupled with He Xiaowei's words about being "fellow practitioners."
There was a conjecture in everyone's mind—could it be... this Master Chen was a Martial Arts Master?
Of course, this was merely speculation, no one dared confirm, after all, Su Chen hadn't really fought with He Xiaowei.
Medical skills and martial arts, both are considered superior.
In people's impressions, a Daoist Immortal with white hair was the one with actual skill and masters.
Su Chen was so young, saying he was a "Martial Arts Master" from the legends, most people's first impression would be that it was unlikely.
"Oh, then Xiaohu it is. Please escort Officer He home."
"Sure, sure, I'll get on it now." Hearing Su Chen assign him a task, Qi Xiaohu was thrilled.
"Miss He... He Yutong? Please follow me." Qi Xiaohu tactfully said.
"No, I said I would supervise you..." He Yutong stubbornly replied.
