Aunt
The boxing match is over.
In the corridor outside the private room, the middle-aged female bodyguard who had been protecting Qing Shi knocked on the door and entered. "Miss, it's time to leave. The audience leaving the seats will cause huge chaos. You need to leave here before the chaos starts."
"And who is this?" Li Yinuo asked with great interest.
"My father arranged for my older sister to be protected," Qing Shi with a sweet smile, "Her Wang Mengli."
Wang Mengli nodded to Li Yinuo, "Nice to meet you."
Then, Qing Shi smiled and said to Li Yinuo, "I had a very pleasant chat with Sister Yinuo tonight, and I hope our cooperation will be just as enjoyable. We discussed so many details just now, but it's still not perfect. I hope we'll have the opportunity to meet again to discuss it in more detail..."
Li Yinuo, Li Tongyun, Nan Gengchen thought to themselves, "Where were you even talking about anything serious just now?"
It was Li Yinuo who said, "Let's cooperate," and you just said, "Okay," and then everyone started focusing on watching the game!
Moreover, everyone understands Qing Shi's thoughts. Her so-called hope to meet again and talk in detail means that she hopes to come and watch the game again!
However, Li Yinuo didn't respond, because she had several other Shadow Candidate scheduled for the next few days, and it wouldn't be good if they all had the same plans when Qing Shi arrived...
So Li Yinuo said, "I think we've covered most of the groundwork already, and there's no need to go into further detail for now. I'll contact you again if needed."
Qing Shi's face drooped visibly, and she said "Okay" sullenly before being led away by Wang Mengli.
The plainclothes officers responsible for protecting Qing Shi came over to cover her, providing cross-protection as they walked out.
Wang Mengli felt something was off, but she couldn't pinpoint what the problem was...
Inside the private room, Li Yinuo glanced at the Octagon Cage. When she realized that Qing Chen had already left, she said, "Let's go home and go to sleep."
When they walked out of the boxing gym, they were surprised to find a huge crowd of people gathered at the entrance, a dark mass.
This scene made Li Yinuo's bodyguards extremely nervous, but when they got closer, they realized that it was a group of fans holding LED light boards with the words "Qing Xiao Tu" written on them.
Everyone was both amused and exasperated.
However, just as Li Yinuo stepped out the door, she suddenly froze.
A row of black cars was parked not far from the gate, with the Li family's auspicious cloud logo printed on the side of each car.
Standing opposite them were old acquaintances Xiao Gong and Wang Bingxu, as well as a woman in her thirties, who was very elegant.
The woman was wearing a black trench coat and a black hat, and she looked at Li Yinuo with a smile.
"Auntie!" Li Yinuo rushed to the woman in surprise, picked her up, and spun her around. "Why are you back?"
"How could I not come back at a time like this?" the woman said with a smile. "I've already finished dealing with the business in City No. 1. I heard that things have been quite turbulent at your uncle's place lately. If I don't come back soon, I'm afraid I'll miss out on a lot of things."
Li Yinuo's eldest uncle is naturally the current head of the Li family's First Branch.
"Auntie, have you gone to see Grandpa?" Li Yinuo asked. "He's not doing well right now..."
"I didn't go. Anyway, he doesn't want to see me," the woman said calmly.
"No, when I went to see him before, he asked me if I had been in touch with you recently," Li Yinuo said. "Grandpa doesn't say it to you, but he actually misses you."
The woman paused for a moment, then said, "I'll go see him later."
After saying that, she turned her head and pointed at Xiao Gong and Wang Bingxu: "I only found out after I came back that these two actually went on vacation under some pretext after returning from the autumn hunt. Now I've brought them back to continue protecting you."
Xiao Gong and Wang Bingxu both lowered their heads and remained silent.
Li Yinuo thought for a moment and said, "How about we forget it? They were quite tired during the autumn hunt."
The woman sneered, "They're just worried about being implicated during the power transition within the Li family. They want money but don't want to put in the effort. There's no such thing as a free lunch. Don't worry, I've already warned them. I only feel at ease with Wang Bingxu, a B-Class expert, protecting you."
"Okay," Li Yinuo readily agreed. She didn't know how her aunt had warned her, but what her aunt said was right. Chaos was coming, and it felt really good to have a B-Class protector by her side.
Unbeknownst to Li Yinuo, Zhou Xuan, the Time Walker who had tried to seduce her during the autumn hunt and was later given to Wang Bingxu by her, was being held captive in a house and complaining to the air. "You can criticize Wang Bingxu want, but why are you locking me up?"
This Time Walker probably never imagined that his carefree day would lead him step by step to becoming a prisoner and a lowly thug.
The woman looked at Wang Bingxu coldly and said, "If I hadn't sponsored you back then, would your mother have had the money for treatment? Would you have had the opportunity to obtain the gene serum and advance to B-Class? You ungrateful wretch, do you know you were wrong?"
Wang Bingxu said earnestly with a bitter face, "I will never forget Miss Changqing's kindness. It's just that you went to City No. 1 a while ago, so there's no need for me to work myself to the bone for someone else... I know I was wrong, and I will definitely protect Miss Yinuo seriously from now on."
"Protecting Yinuo is the same as protecting me," Li Changqing said calmly. "If you find out about this again, you should atone with your own death."
"Understood," Wang Bingxu replied in a low voice.
If Li Yinuo is the eldest princess of the third generation of the Li family, then Li Changqing is the most arrogance of the second generation.
She was the eighth child in the second generation, but the seven children before her were all her brothers.
Moreover, she was the late-life daughter of the Head of the Li Clan, and her other brothers were all more than twenty years older than her, and they doted on her very much.
Therefore, no one dared to bully this second-generation princess since she was a child, which shaped her current personality.
However, Li Changqing is most famous within the Federation not for his personality, but for his methods.
At this moment, Li Changqing pulled Li Yinuo aside and whispered, "I heard Wang Bingxu talk about the autumn hunt. Some parts of it were a bit strange. Tell your aunt the truth, did you run into your Uncle Qi?"
Li Yinuo was taken aback for a moment. "No."
"You don't even tell the truth to your aunt. All that love for you is for nothing. He hasn't pampered you in years. You're still closer to him," Li Changqing said, tapping Li Yinuo's forehead with his long, slender fingers.
Li Yinuo smiled sheepishly but didn't respond.
Li Changqing said, "If you have another chance to see him, remember to tell him that the person the old man and the others most want to see is still him."
"Mr. Tu," the staff member introduced enthusiastically in the locker room, "You played six matches tonight, and your appearance fee is calculated at 75,000 per match, totaling 450,000. Furthermore, the betting pool reaped a substantial profit tonight, and your personal share, calculated based on the Land Cruiser Class, is 14.71 million!"
Qing Chen said calmly, "Okay, I understand."
"Also, some female fans cheered for you tonight and tipped you 1.31 million yuan in cash to buy virtual gifts, which will also be entirely yours."
"Yes," Qing Chen said calmly.
The staff member continued warmly, "Would you like me to arrange for a doctor to examine you? Do you have any injuries?"
"No."
"There's one more thing I need to tell you. Other boxers get post-match massages, but the boss specifically instructed that you're not allowed to use that service..."
Qing Chen was stunned for a moment. Why was he not allowed to use this service?
He didn't understand; the staff member seemed to be talking about something... that touched on areas where he had no knowledge.
To be honest, given Qing Chen's reading volume, there weren't many things that touched on areas where his knowledge was lacking.
He thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you can go now."
"Okay, please get some rest," the staff member said cautiously as he turned and left. Now everyone at Begonia Boxing Gym knew that this young boxer was the gym's prized asset, with top-notch earning power.
After the staff left, leaving Qing Chen alone in the locker room, his brain finally started working rapidly: 16.47 million!
This was the first time he had earned so much money on his own, and the thought of that number filled Qing Chen with a long-lost surge of emotion.
The last time he felt this excited was when he was watching the sunrise from Green Mountain Cliff...
Moreover, things should be going smoothly for Nan Gengchen as well. Although the odds of betting on him to pass the level this time are not that high, the knight's ancestral skill of using ten times leverage can provide a boost.
If you calculate it this way, a loan of 68 million doesn't seem so scary after all.
Qing Chen packed his things and slipped out the back door quietly.
It wasn't that he did anything wrong, but rather that the staff had just reminded him that the front door was blocked by his female fans, who were waiting for him to sign autographs.
Just then, as Qing Chen stepped out the back door, he heard Huang Zixian say with a laugh, "I knew you would come out the back door."
Huang Zixian was still in a wheelchair, his bandages still on. However, this time his assistant wasn't there; he was waiting there by himself.
Qing Chen asked in surprise, "You came alone. Is there something private you want to discuss?"
"Let's talk as we walk," Huang Zixian chuckled. "It's like this, I have a favor to ask... You know everyone in the underworld is saying you beat me up until I cried, and of course, you really did beat me up until I cried. I was wondering if you could beat up a few more... I'm willing to pay!"
Qing Chen understood, but he shook his head and refused, saying, "You probably cried that time because I accidentally hit your tear duct. I didn't mean to make you cry, so it would be difficult to make anyone else cry."
Knight True Qi is every knight's trump card.
He had no choice but to use it in public before.
But now he can't possibly reveal his hand for a little money.
Qing Chen always remained clear-headed and calm.
"By the way, I wanted to ask how to get to 'The Unending Club'," he changed the subject.
Huang Zixian was stunned. He didn't expect that Qing Chen would go to that kind of place after finishing six boxing matches.
He thought for a moment and said, "You don't come to Fourth District often, do you? I can take you there."
"Thank you," Qing Chen said.
"No need to thank me. You can come to me if you're unfamiliar with any areas in the Fourth District in the future," Huang Zixian said. "Consider this some interest I'm paying you before I return your life."
Qing Chen thought for a moment, "The interest rate is a bit low."
Huang Zixian: "... The Unending Club the Fourth District. It gathers the most beautiful women and the fiercest mercenaries in the entire City No. 18. Many gang leaders like to go there at night."
"I see," Qing Chen nodded.
