"Lili, you don't have classes this afternoon, right? Shall we go look at apartments?" After class, Xu Chen messaged Wang Li, who replied that she would. Xu Chen and Zhao Weimin arrived at the school gate, and soon after, Wang Li arrived from inside the campus. Upon seeing Wang Li, Zhao Weimin politely extended his hand to shake hers and said, "Hello, sister-in-law, my name is Zhao Weimin." Wang Li also politely replied, "Hello, my name is Wang Li." Seeing this, Xu Chen pulled Wang Li into Zhao Weimin's car. The three of them drove around looking at apartments near Peking University for a long time. After circling around for a while, Wang Li tugged at Xu Chen's sleeve, pointed to a small garden-style villa near the car, and said softly, "Chenchen, shall we go take a look there?" Xu Chen nodded and said to Zhao Weimin, "Brother Min, thank you for your trouble, shall we go take a look there?" Xu Chen pointed in the direction for Zhao Weimin, but Zhao Weimin looked a little hesitant. He said somewhat conflictedly, "Brother Chen, are you sure you want to go there?" Xu Chen nodded, and Zhao Weimin stopped hesitating. The three of them drove to the vicinity of the villa and got out of the car.
As soon as they got close to the building, Xu Chen could tell that it was quite old. With such a small building near Peking University, it was safe to say that it was among the top 10% of the wealthiest families in all of China. Wang Li and Xu Chen looked at the notice on the door: Tang Xue? Xu Chen vaguely remembered the notice on the door; it was left by Tang Xue, indicating she wasn't home recently and that he should call a certain number if needed. Zhao Weimin looked helpless and said to Xu Chen, "That Tang Xue, in our circle, she's a stubborn little devil. If you ask her for something, she'll refuse you a thousand times." Wang Li looked at the note and then said to Xu Chen unwillingly, "Chenchen, is this place not okay?" Xu Chen shook his head and said seriously, "As long as Lili likes it, this place is definitely fine." Zhao Weimin's teeth ached from the jealousy, and then he became very puzzled. What gave Xu Chen the confidence to make such a boast? Tang Xue was someone that no playboy in the entire capital wanted to mess with. Xu Chen patted Wang Li's hand and said softly, "Lili, let's go somewhere." Then he said to Zhao Weimin, "Brother Min, thank you for your trouble. Lili and I will be leaving now." Zhao Weimin nodded and left. Xu Chen and Wang Li took a taxi away from the small building.
Over an hour later, the two arrived at the Huashi Villa complex where Xu Chen had first arrived. Wang Li asked疑惑地, "Chenchen, what are we doing here?" Xu Chen didn't answer immediately. He scanned the area with his divine sense and confirmed that Tang Tiancheng was at home. He then took out his phone and dialed Tang Tiancheng's private number. After a long while, the call was answered, and a voice sounded on the other end. Xu Chen said softly, "Old man, do you remember me? I came to your house in June. We were discussing martial arts then. Do you remember?" Tang Tiancheng laughed and then readily said, "Young friend Xu Chen, although I'm old, my mind isn't. You left such a deep impression on me, how could I not remember you?" Xu Chen continued, "Old Tang, I've come to discuss something with you." Tang Tiancheng considered for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Alright, I'll send the butler to pick you up."
Twenty minutes later, Xu Chen and Wang Li entered the courtyard, led by the butler. It was the familiar backyard, with a small tea table set with two cups of hot tea. Tang Tiancheng, seeing the newcomers, realized his oversight and gestured for the butler to prepare another cup. He then invited Xu Chen and Wang Li to sit down. After they sat down, Xu Chen introduced his wife, Wang Li, to Tang Tiancheng: "Mr. Tang, this is my wife, Wang Li." Wang Li blushed slightly and bowed to Mr. Tang. She was so shocked to see Tang Tiancheng that her jaw dropped. This was the same powerful figure her father used to show her on the news! Xu Chen took a sip of tea and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Tang..." "I've come here to ask for your help." Tang Tiancheng's expression remained calm, but he was secretly overjoyed. He pretended to be serious and said, "Oh, young friend Xu Chen, what brings you here? Tell me." Xu Chen explained that he and Wang Li wanted to rent his granddaughter's villa. Tang Tiancheng stroked his beard, thought for a moment, and said, "I see. I'll call Xue'er back, and you can talk to her." He then told the butler to make the call. After the butler had gone, Tang Tiancheng turned to Xu Chen mysteriously and said, "Young friend Xu Chen, I have something I'd like to discuss with you." Xu Chen secretly thought he'd been tricked. Could this old man have been waiting for him to come to him with a favor? Seeing this, Li left the backyard and sat down in the living room. Xu Chen leaned back in his chair and said leisurely, "Elder Tang, is there something you need?" Tang Tiancheng nodded, somewhat hesitantly, "Young friend Xu Chen, could you be my advisor?" Xu Chen asked doubtfully, "What kind of advisor? Elder Tang, just say it directly." Tang Tiancheng replied, "A martial arts special forces unit." Xu Chen paused, then took a sip, put the cup down, and didn't explicitly refuse, but changed his approach, saying, "Elder Tang, I'm afraid that's impossible, because I still have studies to attend to, and I believe you understand that." Tang Tiancheng nodded. Seeing that Xu Chen didn't explicitly refuse, he slowly said, "I've spoken with your principal about your studies." Xu Chen looked surprised, "You spoke with him a long time ago? If I hadn't refused, would you have gone to the school to find me?" Tang Tiancheng replied, "Yes, the matter of the martial arts special forces is of great importance. I need to find someone familiar with this to oversee the entire training." Xu Chen asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid that the martial arts techniques will be lost to the common people or that they will be betrayed?" Tang Tiancheng didn't answer. In fact, he had already made three preparations: all members were innocent, the number of members was fixed, and the members' families were under close surveillance. Tang Tiancheng said, "How about it? Young friend Xu Chen, if you agree, I'll give you my granddaughter's villa!" Xu Chen thought to himself, "You've done so much preparation, would I be stupid to refuse you? I still want to live in China," so he nodded. Tang Tiancheng was overjoyed. Just then, someone came from the backyard. Upon seeing his granddaughter, Tang Tiancheng quickly said, "Xue'er, do you remember the little villa near Peking University?" Tang Xue was wondering why her grandfather had called her back. Hearing this, she nodded and said softly, "I remember, Grandpa, what's wrong?" She looked at Xu Chen, feeling that he looked familiar. Tang Tiancheng waved his hand and said cheerfully, "You and Xu Chen go and complete the handover. That little villa will be given to Xu Chen." Tang Xue was surprised. Although she hadn't lived there for a long time since graduation, there was no need to give it away. She was about to question it when Tang Tiancheng immediately stopped her, "Xue'er, I'll explain this to you later. For now, do as I say." Tang Xue had no choice but to suppress her doubts and went to the little villa with Xu Chen and Wang Li.
That evening, Xu Chen, carrying a backpack, entered the house with Wang Li. Tang Xue intended to leave quickly, but Xu Chen stopped her and said directly, "We'll stay in this house for four years, and return it to you after graduation." Tang Xue asked in surprise, "Are you also a student at Peking University?" Xu Chen nodded. Tang Xue remained silent. Xu Chen continued, "You should tell your grandfather that the house has been transferred to my name." Tang Xue thought that staying in the house wasn't a problem, but she was reluctant to give it away herself. So she said to Xu Chen, "Thank you. I was wrong about what happened last time." Xu Chen feigned confusion, "What happened last time?" Seeing that he was pretending to be clueless, Tang Xue didn't dwell on it and left directly. Wang Li watched as she left. A woman approached from a distance and said gently, "Chenchen, do you know the Tang family?" Xu Chen nodded. Seeing that Wang Li wanted to ask more questions, Xu Chen took her hand and led her into the house, diverting her attention by saying, "Lili, shall we sleep together tonight?" Wang Li nodded shyly. The two went into Xu Chen's bedroom and fell asleep in each other's arms. Xu Chen didn't do anything wrong.
