Heartwarming Aristocratic Marriage: Influential Master's Wife-Chasing Strategy Chapter 140 - The Arrogant Third Master Fu

Chapter 140: The Arrogant Third Master Fu

At the entrance of the Thousand Treasures Mall…

When the mall manager heard Duan Linbai’s instructions, he took out his phone and called the security guard captain. He was still feeling uneasy and wondering if he should inform the boss.

Hold them down and beat the h.e.l.l out of them?

What if something happens?

Little Boss is inherently a reckless person, but I can’t let him do anything wrong on impulse.

While hesitating, he saw a black car speeding over from the corner of his eye.

The capital was dry and had a lot of sand in the wind. With the car speeding over, it caused sand to fly up everywhere. The car was like a sharp black arrow, breaking through the wind and coming straight at them.

Before the car even stopped, he saw a person push open the door and get out of the car. His fingers trembled, and his phone almost fell to the ground. Why is Third Master Fu here?

This mall was very close to Yunjin Prime Manor, so the people working in his house bought a lot of stuff here. But most of the time, they called to make orders, and the manager almost always sent the items personally, so he naturally knew Fu Chen.

Duan Linbai had called to tell him that something had happened and to check the surveillance camera footage. He was so frightened that he almost had a heart attack. Such a vicious incident happened in the mall under my management, and I only found out about it from Little Boss. I’m afraid I might not be able to keep my job.

“Where is she?” Fu Chen got out of the car and went straight to the point without saying anything else.

Duan Linbai said, “In the underground garage. Get in the car. I’ll bring you there.”

The manager stood rooted to the ground in a daze. I thought the little girl in the garage is someone Little Boss likes? Why is Third Master involved?

He suddenly recalled that when the mall was about to close two months ago, Uncle Nian from Yunjin Prime Manor had come out to buy some female daily necessities.

He smacked his head.

s.h.i.+t! That girl is the little ancestor who lives in Third Master’s house!

My G.o.d. Then aren’t those people…

Why did they provoke Third Master Fu? Since this person lives in Third Master’s house, he’s definitely responsible for her. Even if he doesn’t have any feelings for her, Third Master will be responsible for anything that happens. Isn’t this deliberately slapping his face?

***

The mall’s security guards had come over and quickly subdued those several people. But one of the people who had attacked Qian Jiang ran away and wasn’t caught.

At this moment, the underground garage was completely sealed off, and not even a drop of water could leak out.

When Fu Chen and Duan Linbai appeared, Qian Jiang was talking to the security guard captain.

“Third Master.” Qian Jiang was only wearing a white s.h.i.+rt, and his left arm was bleeding faintly. His expression was as usual, dull and indifferent.

s.h.i.+ Fang raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the bloodstains on the ground that had yet to be cleaned. His heart skipped a beat. Why the f*ck is there blood?

“Where’s Wanwan?”

“She’s in the staff lounge. Someone is guarding her,” Qian Jiang explained.

“Is she hurt?”

Qian Jiang nodded seriously. “Her right hand has an abrasion, and the web of her thumb is split.”

When Duan Linbai heard this, his entire head exploded.

This b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Can’t you see Fu Chen’s eyes?! It’s almost enough to kill people. You’re still stimulating him?!

Bro, can’t you be more tactful?

Qian Jiang seemed to feel that the stimulation wasn’t enough and added, “She bled a lot.”

Duan Linbai’s mind went blank. What the f*ck? There should be a f*cking limit to your honesty. Can’t you comfort him first?

Where did Fu Chen find such a stupid subordinate?

“Who did it?” Fu Chen looked at the people at the side.

The six men were already subdued. They were kneeling on the ground and holding their heads with both their hands.

“These two.” Qian Jiang pointed at them. “We caught six of them, and one ran away.”

The two people looked up in fear. Their bodies both had injuries of varying degrees.

These men had only heard of the name Third Master Fu before. Seeing him in person, they were all so frightened that their legs went weak.

He was wearing the most exquisite three-piece suit. He looked like an immortal yet also resembled a demon, and as he looked down at them, it was as though he was looking down at ants with a cold transcendent gaze.

He had delicate facial features, looking handsome and desolate. Just standing there, he looked extremely good-looking.

He only furrowed his brows and lowered his eyes, yet the oppressive feeling he exuded came straight at them…

… breaking through the wind with a chill.

In the past, they had only heard that this person looked kind on the outside but was ruthless on the inside. But they didn’t expect him to look so ascetic and harmless. But usually, this kind of person was even more ruthless…

“What did they want?” Fu Chen reached out to undo his cufflinks. His fingers were elegant as he casually tugged at his tie.

Coupled with the dim lighting in the underground garage, he looked pa.s.sively indulging.

“They wanted to do something improper to Miss Song.” Qian Jiang’s voice was calm and steady, having a calmness that would remain unchanged even if mountains collapsed in front of him, as he stated the objective facts.

Duan Linbai slapped his own head. This fellow definitely doesn’t mind this blowing up even more.

“Is that so?” Fu Chen unb.u.t.toned his collar and loosened his wrists.

“Third Master, we’re just helping someone. It has nothing to do with us…” The man whose palm was pierced jumped out.

“They didn’t suc… ceed.” Qian Jiang paused momentarily on the last word because Fu Chen, who was standing beside him, personally made a move.

He moved quickly and grabbed the man’s collar to lift him up.

He was extremely strong, and the collar of the man’s s.h.i.+rt embedded deeply into the man’s neck, choking the man and seemingly wanting his life. “Who are you helping?”

“I…” The man hesitated, appearing to have some concerns.

“Who is it?!” Duan Linbai was furious.

“If I say it, can you protect me?” His throat was stuck, his voice was hoa.r.s.e, his words were trembling, and his lips were already pale.

The two of them were very close to each other. The man was nervous, but Fu Chen seemed to be from h.e.l.l, and even the breath he exhaled was cold.

It made the man shudder in fear. “As long as you promise me, I’ll tell you.”

Duan Linbai almost applauded him. Brother, your courage is commendable for daring to speak to Fu Chen like that at a time like this.

Fu Chen suddenly smiled at him and loosened his other hand. Then he clenched it tightly and went for the man’s face…

Duan Linbai was speechless… How impressive.

Fu Chen’s eyes seemed to be dyed with blood.

When the few hooligans at the side saw this scene, they were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweat.

“What qualifications do you have to negotiate with me?” Fu Chen looked at him disdainfully. His tone was cold, arrogant, cruel, and tyrannical.

“Third Master, I’ll say it!” One of them jumped out.

“I don’t want to hear it anymore.”

As soon as Fu Chen finished speaking, Qian Jiang quickly walked over and covered the man’s mouth.

Duan Linbai was speechless. Are these people courting death? Why did they put themselves right in front of his muzzle? “What if something happens?”

Everyone in the capital knew that Third Master Fu was cold and heartless. Anyone who touched his people was definitely thinking that their lives were too long.

Fu Chen said faintly, “Didn’t you say that you would be responsible if something happens?”

Dumbfounded, Duan Linbai stood rooted to the ground. This b.a.s.t.a.r.d still wants to cheat me at a time like this!

“Third Master, I’ll take you to find Miss Song.” Qian Jiang handed the matter to someone else before walking to Fu Chen’s side.

Fu Chen glanced at his still bleeding arm and followed him to the staff lounge.

Duan Linbai kicked these people twice to vent his anger.

F*ck!

Kicking people actually feels so good.

I’ll kick them a few more times. How dare these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds cause trouble in my territory.

***

On another side…

Fu Chen was striding toward the staff lounge.

“This matter is my negligence. I didn’t complete what you instructed me to do. I’ll explain everything clearly to the police later…” Qian Jiang led the way and was half a step away from Fu Chen.

What he meant was that he would take responsibility for everything and would never involve Fu Chen.

“I’ll get s.h.i.+ Fang to deal with this matter.” Fu Chen lowered his eyes to look at his slightly abraded knuckles. The coldness in his eyes had yet to fade. “Cheng Lan didn’t do it, right?”

Fu Chen had already instructed Qian Jiang to send someone to keep an eye on Cheng Lan. If she did it, he wouldn’t have found out only after something had happened.

“It was Cheng Tianyi who hired these people. He used to hang out outside a lot, so he knows a lot of gangsters.”

These people were not professional thugs. They did things messily and left behind too many clues. One of their phones was checked, and the latest contact was Cheng Tianyi.

“He’s discharged from the hospital?” Fu Chen raised his eyebrows.

“The Cheng family spent a lot of money to get him home to recuperate. Cheng Lan should have instigated him and wanted to use him like before.” Qian Jiang voiced his thoughts.

Cheng Tianyi was brainless. If someone hadn’t instigated him, why would he suddenly do such a thing?

“Okay.” Fu Chen nodded. When he looked up, he was already at the entrance of the staff lounge.

“s.h.i.+ Fang, help Qian Jiang treat his wound.”

“Okay.” The two of them left tactfully.

***

Fu Chen raised his hand to knock on the door. Just as his knuckles touched the door…

The door slowly opened.

Song Fengwan was facing the door. She was sitting on a chair with a blanket wrapped around her. A person was treating the wound on her hand. She was holding a paper cup in one hand, and white smoke was slowly wafting from the water inside.

When she saw Fu Chen, her entire body trembled in fear. Her grip loosened, and the paper cup fell to the ground, splas.h.i.+ng water all over the floor. She stood up…

… and ran toward him.

Her legs were a little weak. After all, she was a child and had never hurt anyone before, not to mention seeing blood this time.

What had happened just now was like a nightmare haunting her mind.

She had no relatives or friends in the capital, and the only person she could rely on was Fu Chen.

She ran too quickly. Her legs were still weak and powerless, and her muscles were stiff, so she almost fell down.

Fu Chen strode forward…

… reached out his hands, and pulled her into his embrace.

“Third Master.” Song Fengwan pressed her head against his chest and gripped the clothes at his waist tightly. Her eyes were slightly hot. Soon after, Fu Chen felt a warm, wet feeling on his chest.

My little girl…

… is crying?

“I’m here.” Fu Chen took a deep breath and lowered his head to kiss the top of her head.

His voice was low and hoa.r.s.e, with a hint of vicissitudes.

His concern for her made him fl.u.s.tered. Throughout the car ride here, he had never let go of his worries, which were as many and as complicated as gra.s.s.

“… I hurt people.” Song Fengwan tugged at his clothes tightly and looked up at him. She looked helpless, and her voice was hoa.r.s.e and trembling.

“It was self-defense. It’s alright. I’ll take care of it.” Fu Chen looked down at her and pushed the messy hair on her forehead to the side. “Were you frightened?”

“Mm.” Song Fengwan nodded hard. Her eyes were full of tears, making Fu Chen’s heart clench into a ball.

“Still afraid?” Fu Chen bent down, leveling his eyes with hers. His voice was slow and extremely gentle.

“A little.”

Fu Chen reached out his hand to caress her face and wiped away the tears from her eyes. Then he pulled her into his embrace. “You’ll feel better after hugging.”

Song Fengwan suddenly clutched Fu Chen’s clothes tightly and sobbed without holding back.

She had too many things hidden in her heart. When something happened at home, she was afraid that her mother would be worried, so she could only hide under her blanket and secretly wipe her tears. Some time ago, she was misunderstood by the teacher, reprimanded by someone else’s parent, and felt too many grievances. She seemed to vent all of it in an instant…

Fu Chen gently caressed her hair while hugging her, letting her cry.

After some time, when she felt comfortable after crying, she struggled slightly and withdrew from Fu Chen’s embrace. She looked at him and seemed a little embarra.s.sed.

After all, she wasn’t young anymore, so she was naturally embarra.s.sed to cry like this in front of him. She sniffled and felt extremely ashamed. I really embarra.s.sed myself this time.

But when she thought of what had just happened, she still had lingering fears.

The person in the room had already left tactfully, leaving behind only a first aid kit.

Fu Chen looked down at her. Her head was lowered, and her shoulders were trembling. “Look up.”

But Song Fengwan didn’t do so, seemingly silently resisting.

After a long time, she heard Fu Chen sigh softly. She suddenly felt a pain in her arm, accompanied by a slight p.r.i.c.king pain.

“There’s an abrasion.”

Song Fengwan reached out her hand to look at her arm. It might have been injured because of tearing earlier, but she hadn’t even noticed. “Why are you here so quickly?”

“You called me.” Fu Chen reached out his hand and held her right hand.

Just as Qian Jiang had said, there were about three wounds on the webbing of her thumb. The wounds were slightly hideous and only half treated, and blood was still seeping out from the edges.

“Does it hurt?” His gaze was cold as he stared fixedly at her. There were no wind or waves in his eyes, but there was a small little her.

“Not much.”

“Call me if anything happens in the future.”

Song Fengwan’s eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she nodded vigorously. “Okay.”

“Wanwan…” Fu Chen leaned forward, moving closer to her.

“Huh?” she said doubtfully.

“From now on… Third Brother will protect you. Is that okay?” His voice was soft and slow, as if he was coaxing her but also as if he was making an extremely serious promise.

I…

… really don’t want anyone to hurt her. I want to protect her…

… the kind that lasts a lifetime.

Song Fengwan looked up at him and fell into a daze as she looked into his blacks eyes that were as dark as the night sky.
