Facing a boyfriend who betrayed her and had an affair with her younger sister, and a two-faced stepmoth...

Chapter 172

You have to understand that Chen Ningsheng's company just went through a storm recently. If news of fighting and disturbances breaks out now, the company will definitely be thrown into turmoil again, and she doesn't want to see that happen.

Chen Ningsheng clearly understood what Xu Xinchen was worried about. He smiled and ruffled Xu Xinchen's hair: "I know, don't worry, I don't plan to do anything."

Xu Xinchen breathed a small sigh of relief, found a chair and sat down, then pulled Chen Ningsheng to sit on the other side. The two of them sat there peacefully, watching the bodyguards surround the group of people.

Gu Yan quietly slipped over to the two of them, found a chair and sat down, watching the dozen or so men carrying steel pipes struggle like trapped beasts surrounded by bodyguards.

Originally, Brother Long wanted to use the fact that he had a weapon to stand out from the group of bodyguards, but how could a group of low-level thugs who had not undergone systematic training possibly defeat bodyguards who were carefully selected from tens of thousands of people?

Even though the bodyguards weren't armed, they still managed to beat them so badly they cried out in pain. In just a few rounds, the bodyguards unloaded the steel bars and water pipes from their hands and piled them aside.

Xu Xinchen looked at the pile of stuff and stuck out her tongue at Chen Ningsheng: "These people are really reckless. If they hit someone on the head, they could kill them instantly."

Regardless of Xu Xinchen's lack of experience, having lived in the entertainment industry in her previous life, she knew that even when people were openly or covertly competing, it was all about spending money, resources, and connections. Everyone was competing based on their hard skills, and there was never a time like this where people were fighting each other with weapons. So, seeing all this, she was very shocked.

In contrast, Chen Ningsheng was much calmer. He reached out and pushed up the glasses Xu Xinchen had bought for him: "The more..."

The more the better, the more it proves they're not far from death.

Looking at the pile of weapons on the ground, Chen Ningsheng had already come up with countless ways to torture these people in his mind, and a smile began to appear in his eyes as he looked at them.

The sound of police sirens came from outside the door. Xu Xinchen grabbed the watch on Chen Ningsheng's wrist, looked down and calculated the time. From the time she called the police until now, when that group of people had been dealt with and were now sitting obediently, only ten minutes had passed. That group of people were really useless; they only knew how to bully the weak and fear the strong.

Chen Ningsheng had no idea what Xu Xinchen was thinking. Looking at the first person who pushed the door open, he stood up and shook hands with him: "Uncle Zhao."

The person who came had a smile on their face from the moment they saw Chen Ningsheng, and they held Chen Ningsheng's hand and didn't let go: "Ah Sheng, it's been a long time. I didn't expect you to have changed so much."

Chen Ningsheng smiled and pulled Xu Xinchen, who was standing there in a daze, over. He intertwined their fingers and introduced her, "Uncle Zhao, this is my girlfriend. Her name is Lu Minshi. She will be my wife in the future."

The man was taken aback at first, then his face lit up with joy: "Really? Hello, hello, I'm a good friend of Asheng's father. My name is Zhao Jianguo. You can call me Uncle Zhao, just like Asheng does."

When Zhao Jianguo heard Chen Ningsheng say that Xu Xinchen was his future marriage partner, he was extremely happy for Chen Ningsheng. He looked Xu Xinchen up and down a few times and praised her.

“Ah Sheng, you have good taste. This girl looks gentle and refined, much better than those spoiled and unambitious rich girls that your father introduced.”

This was the first time Xu Xinchen had received such praise, and she didn't know how to respond. She could only blush and hide behind Chen Ningsheng, a shy smile on her face: "Thank you for the compliment, Uncle Zhao."

Zhao Jianguo waved his hand and said in a hearty manner, "It's alright, it's alright, don't be nervous. I'm just telling the truth. I think you're a really good girl."

Xu Xinchen was truly at a loss for words, and could only blush and back away. Chen Ningsheng looked at her and chuckled softly, his voice full of magnetism, making Xu Xinchen blush again, while her heart pounded wildly.

Seeing this, Zhao Jianguo realized that Xu Xinchen was shy, so he didn't press her to speak. Instead, he turned to Chen Ningsheng with concern: "Ah Sheng, it's been so long. How have you been lately? Is there anything Uncle Zhao can help you with?"

Chen Ningsheng lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly laughed out loud: "There really is. Since you've brought it up yourself, Uncle Zhao, then I won't stand on ceremony with you."

Zhao Jianguo turned to look at the group of people cowering to one side: "Who told you to be so polite? Besides, does this have anything to do with these people?"

Chen Ningsheng first shook his head, then nodded, a smile appearing on his face: "Half yes, half no, Uncle Zhao, can we talk about it?"

Zhao Jianguo naturally agreed. He led Chen Ningsheng out the door. Inside, the people Zhao Jianguo brought were searching the shop, so it wasn't a good place to talk.

When Xu Xinchen saw Chen Ningsheng walking out with Zhao Jianguo, she took the initiative to break free from Chen Ningsheng's grasp and said to him with a smile, "You two have something to say, so I won't disturb you. I'll just stay here and wait for you."

Chen Ningsheng patted Xu Xinchen's hair, not insisting that she come out with him or anything, but instead going along with Xu Xinchen's wishes, letting her stay while he followed Zhao Jianguo outside.

As soon as Chen Ningsheng left, Xu Xinchen's spirits were low. The whole morning had been terrifying. She had argued with Manager Li for so long and was locked in the van for almost an hour. The van was bumping along the way, and now she felt like she was falling apart.

She lazily leaned back in her chair, watching the police officers come and go, searching everything in the store. The store was really filthy.

The police actually took a lot of things out of the store, but unfortunately, they were all packed in large black bags, so she couldn't see what was inside at all.

The supervisor, Mr. Li, who had treated her with arrogance that morning, was transformed within just two hours into a quasi-prisoner squatting on the ground, clutching his head and looking pitiful.

Just as Xu Xinchen was getting bored and wanted to close her eyes for a nap to relieve her fatigue, a head slowly peeked out from beside her.

"Min Shi!"

"Why!"

Xu Xinchen was startled by Gu Yan's shout and jumped up, instantly dispelling all her drowsiness.

She turned her head and looked at Gu Yan, whom she had forgotten for a long, long time, with a blank expression: "It's Gu Yan, what are you still doing here?"
