Bai Yan was astute, as soon as Mayor Chen finished speaking, he immediately grasped the meaning.
Up until this moment, Bai Yan truly realized that his so-called plans were far too naive!
In this society, if anything unusual emerges, it simply cannot escape the control and surveillance of certain people, let alone Life Juice that can cure all terminal illnesses—such a miraculous thing would definitely attract the attention of many.
Bai Yan was already mentally prepared for this.
However, he hadn’t expected this day to come so quickly. Wanyan Company hadn’t even started to genuinely sell the medicine yet, but a group of people had already begun to closely monitor every move of Wanyan Company.
To put it frankly, the secrets between Bai Yan and Wanyan Company weren’t really secrets in the eyes of some people with special status.
"Who are these people?"
Bai Yan narrowed his eyes.
"I don’t know about that."
Mayor Chen shrugged nonchalantly: "I only promised Mr. An to protect you well within this territory of HZ city, to eliminate any possibility of undesirable elements harming you. As for which people are looking at Wanyan Company and your miraculous drug, I have no idea."
"You don’t need to ask Mr. An either; if he wants you to know, he will definitely tell you. If he doesn’t want you to know, asking won’t help you find out."
Mayor Chen got up with a smile, patted Bai Yan’s shoulder: "Anyway, the existence of Wanyan Company is a good thing. You know better than I do how many people one medication can save, and the merit of it is substantial! Little Bai Yan, you must handle it well! If you face difficulties, just say so. If anyone dares to hinder, both Mr. An and Uncle Chen will be the first to stand up in disagreement."
Mayor Chen’s intentions were very clear, which was also a joint statement from him and Mr. An, helping Bai Yan solve some problems and people that might be troublesome at levels Bai Yan couldn’t yet reach.
However, in HZ city, Mr. An’s identity is sensitive, and he is not convenient to come forward to solve problems for Bai Yan, so he had to ask Chen Zihou to help.
Up to now, Bai Yan still didn’t know exactly what kind of person Mr. An was, but Bai Yan could be sure that Mr. An was most likely retired due to his old age.
Bai Yan guessed that Mr. An’s position before retirement must have been very high; otherwise, there would be no need for so many officials in HZ city to maintain such respectful attitudes towards the An Family.
Bai Yan remained silent for a while and then nodded indifferently: "Thank you Uncle Chen for telling me about these things today."
"Little Bai Yan, you are too polite."
Mayor Chen smiled and waved his hand, then cautioned: "However, caution is the parent of safety, you are still too young, and you should not be too impulsive in the future."
Bai Yan nodded, agreeing with Mayor Chen’s words.
Currently, Bai Yan held two identities, whether as a human or as the Demon Lord, both having strong potential and strength for future development. But strictly speaking, Bai Yan was still in his early stages, like a fledgling bird.
Bai Yan’s wings were not yet full-feathered, and some matters naturally needed to be kept low-key, striving to keep himself out of the public eye.
At least, on sensitive topics like Wanyan Company, Bai Yan needed to completely remove himself from the situation to hold the initiative.
Previously, Bai Yan had also considered this, which is why he asked An Yan to request Mr. An to suppress his so-called Divine Doctor identity.
After that, Bai Yan chatted with Mayor Chen for a while and played several games of chess.
During this, the An sisters sent him several text messages, urging him to come back soon, and Bai Yan took the opportunity to leave.
Just then, Mrs. Chen and Chen Jing came out from the bedroom.
"Jing, please walk Little Bai Yan out."
Father Chen said with a smile, and Chen Jing crisply agreed.
Not knowing what Mrs. Chen had said to her, Chen Jing looked at Bai Yan with a somewhat odd expression and her face was full of blush.
Chen Jing’s beautiful eyes dwelled somewhat unwillingly on Bai Yan: "You’re leaving now?"
"Yes, it’s getting late today; I shouldn’t disturb Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen’s rest."
Bai Yan said with a smile.
During the few hours of chatting and playing chess with Mayor Chen, Bai Yan had already figured things out, his mind returning to its usual calm and indifference.
No matter who was targeting him, as long as Bai Yan could strengthen himself in a short time, he’d eliminate any enemy that came at him!
Only absolute strength could ensure absolute initiative!
All the conspiracies and enemies were just paper tigers before Bai Yan’s personal strong power and his mighty forces of demon creatures!
Chen Jing followed behind Bai Yan as they walked downstairs.
Not long after Chen Jing had left, Father Chen whispered to Mrs. Chen: "You didn’t stop Jing girl from dating Bai Yan, did you?"
"No, why would I? Little Bai Yan is so well-mannered and sensible! Moreover, it’s rare that at such a young age he has such great medical skill, and since Jing girl likes him, of course, I wouldn’t act as a spoiler."
Mrs. Chen said with some surprise, unaware of some things about Bai Yan.
Hearing his wife say this, Father Chen nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "That’s good, the old man asked me to help out, but he never said to stop Jing from dating Bai Yan."
"Just think, with Jing’s beauty and obedience, that boy Bai Yan will certainly fall into her hands, ha ha!"
Mayor Chen’s face was all smiles; he looked very pleased.
Mrs. Chen looked at him a bit surprised: "Why are you smiling like an old fox? Normally, you stop her from even chatting with other young men, why the sudden change today?"
"Woman, what do you know? Bai Yan is admired by Mr. An too, I think Mr. An mostly intends to make him his grandson-in-law! With such a fine young man, how could I not strike first?"
Chen Zihou blew on the fragrant tea in his hand, squinted his eyes as he took a sip, appearing thoroughly content.
In the residential area, Chen Jing looked down at her feet, following closely behind Bai Yan.
Bai Yan suddenly stopped and turned back, Chen Jing nearly collided with his back.
"It’s okay, I can keep you company a bit longer."
Chen Jing’s voice was as soft as a mosquito, her pretty face flushed an intense red, it was her first time saying such things to a boy.
This girl, she’s decided to stick with me!
Bai Yan smiled helplessly: "Won’t your parents worry if you don’t go home?"
"They won’t worry, my mom just said that it’s actually okay to date in university..."
As Chen Jing spoke, she lowered her head, feeling extremely shy in her heart.
Chen Jing dared not look at Bai Yan, her gaze lowered to her feet, she wore slippers when stepping out, and now her white delicate toes shyly curled together, looking very cute.
Have things reached this point?
Look at that, your mom can’t wait to marry you off!
Bai Yan didn’t know whether to cry or laugh, but he dared not express such thoughts, facing the shy and beautiful Chen Jing, he felt a bit of a headache.
This company matter hasn’t been settled yet, and back at the An Family Mansion, there are two beauties waiting for him to return, and now there’s also Chen Jing...
Ah, truly a hero can’t withstand the troubles of beauties!
Should I just sweep up this silly girl?
Bai Yan tilted his head thinking, his gaze falling on Chen Jing’s exquisite figure.
Chen Jing, being one of the top four beauties of Mo University, has a appearance and figure not inferior to An Xiaowan, and she possesses a cold exterior but warm interior personality, being lively among familiar people, but quite aloof with strangers.
Especially, Chen Jing’s attitude towards her man has always been straightforward and genuine, something Bai Yan greatly appreciated.
Only self-loving, self-respecting, and beautiful women deserve to be cherished.
Under Bai Yan’s hot stare, Chen Jing’s exquisite body trembled shyly, her exceptionally pretty face blushed fetching, her teeth lightly biting her pink lips.
Chen Jing lowered her head, not daring to meet Bai Yan’s eyes.
Just as Bai Yan was about to speak, his phone rang.
Who the hell is this, disturbing me when I’m flirting!
Bai Yan instantly got irritated.
He took out his phone and looked, it was from Fu Chao, that kid.
Bai Yan frowned: "Make it quick, if you don’t have a good reason, you’re going to pay for it tonight!"
Fu Chao chuckled sheepishly on the other end: "Brother Yan... I have a small trouble here."
"Hey, you’re Brother Yan right?"
Suddenly a different voice came on the phone, a brash and arrogant male voice: "That kid Fu Chao lost money racing cars, fair and square. Are you going to pay for him?"
"F*ck, how are you even talking to my Brother Yan!"
Fu Chao shouted and snatched back the phone, his tone extremely awkward: "Brother Yan, sorry... Today, a few brothers and some friends were racing cars, got a bit carried away and lost some money, and we don’t have enough on us..."
"How much did you lose."
Bai Yan cut him off, his tone somewhat cold.
"Um... Brother Yan, we accidentally lost a hundred million."
Fu Chao was nearly dying of shame.
"You really outdid yourself, losing a hundred million! And you call this a trivial matter?"
Bai Yan said coldly: "You think you’re the boss because you have Demon Power? Racing cars? And now you want daddy to clean up your mess?"
Fu Chao fell silent on the other end, Bai Yan’s scolding making him unbearably ashamed: "Brother Yan, we can’t tell our families about this, the brothers can only rely on you now."
Fu Chao whispered, a hundred million in gambling stakes was indeed a bit much for them.
Bai Yan could vaguely hear other men’s arrogant voices from the phone: "Are you paying or not, can’t bear to lose, huh? Are you planning to default, Young Master Fu?"
"Go to hell, when did I ever say I would default!"
Fu Chao yelled furiously.
Fu Chao was a straightforward person, a typical loyal guy, his forthright personality quite similar to Bai Yan.
When you lose, you lose, Fu Chao could not bring himself to weasel out of debt with force.
"Alright, send me the address, I’ll be there soon."
A hint of a cold look flashed through Bai Yan’s eyes, then he hung up the phone.
Although it stressed him out that Fu Chao and the others gambled so big without his knowledge, after all, they were still his subordinates.
Fu Chao and the others in trouble, Bai Yan simply couldn’t sit by and ignore it!
