Chu Xiao was staring at the stage in the lobby when he saw Zhao Qian take out a reddish-brown porcelain bottle and stand on the stage. He couldn't help but click his tongue in admiration.
Zhao Qian really went to great lengths to curry favor with Boss Meng Xingchen.
Unfortunately, this kind of thing was simply not good enough for Old Master Chen.
Just then, a shadow suddenly appeared above his head, startling him so much that his eyelids twitched. He grabbed the teacup on the table and flipped it over.
"Ouch!"
A scream suddenly rang out, and a black figure rushed to Chu Xiao like lightning, grabbed his wrist with one hand, and threw him violently into the corridor by the door.
"Clang!"
Caught off guard, Chu Xiao was thrown to the ground by the immense force.
Before he could even see who was in the private room, he assumed it was another group of thugs Zhao Qian had hired. He forced himself to get up despite the pain and rushed to the other end of the corridor.
But after running only a few steps, he bumped into Huo Zishan.
"Mr. Chu, what's wrong?"
Huo Zishan grabbed his arm, looking at him with a puzzled expression as he clutched his chest in pain.
The door to the private room behind her opened, and an elderly man with a full head of white hair walked out.
The old man was dressed in a blue Zhongshan suit, and walked steadily, showing no signs of being frail or decrepit.
His eyes lit up when he saw Chu Xiao.
"Huo Zishan, is this the Mr. Chu you're talking about?"
Huo Zishan nodded.
However, before she could even begin to introduce herself, Chen Jiu'er's cold, sharp rebuke came from behind her:
"Halt! How dare he bring a dangerous weapon into Tiandu Winery! Seize him!"
The next second, seeing Chu Xiao and the old man standing together, Chen Jiu'er froze on the spot.
"Sister Zishan, Grandpa, why are you standing with this thug?"
"A thug?" Huo Zishan asked, puzzled. "Isn't there some misunderstanding? Mr. Chu is a distinguished guest I invited, and this auction was held for him. How can you call him a thug?"
Chen Jiu'er was also completely bewildered.
“That’s not right. The security manager saw him fight with people in the parking lot, using a stun gun on seven or eight motorcyclists, and even kicking someone into a ditch, intending to kill them and then frame our Chen family.”
Although the Chen family holds a high position and is wealthy and powerful, they also have many enemies in S City. As the second young lady of the Chen family, Xi Ran cannot be careless.
Upon hearing this, Huo Zishan and the old man exchanged bewildered glances.
Chu Xiao quickly raised his hands and explained, "It's a misunderstanding, this is really a misunderstanding! Those men were hired by Zhao Qian to ambush me. I carried the stun gun for self-defense, and I had no ill intentions whatsoever."
"Today is the day of the auction held by Tiandu Winery. The collection inside is worth tens of billions. How can I believe you?" Chen Jiu'er proudly raised her head.
Chu Xiao was speechless.
"If you don't believe me, you can go ask those big men."
"What are you asking? You've already knocked him unconscious and sent him to the hospital for emergency treatment. How can you ask me anything?" Chen Jiu'er persisted, unafraid to admit that she had arrested the wrong person.
Seeing this, the old man jabbed his cane hard.
"Alright! Jiu'er, I know you're always showing off your skills and trying to prove yourself, but you were really too reckless this time! Aren't you going to apologize to Mr. Chu?"
Apologize?
Chen Jiu'er's pretty face turned red, and she snorted angrily.
The atmosphere in the corridor became somewhat oppressive and heavy.
Suddenly, someone picked up a jade pendant from the ground and respectfully handed it to Old Master Chen.
"Sir, look! This jade pendant is exactly the same as the one you wear."
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Chen quickly took the jade pendant and examined it closely with his reading glasses.
You won't believe it until you see it, and what you find will shock you.
