Chapter 148: You Make Noodles for Me!
Chapter 148: You Make Noodles for Me!
Cang Shihong truly wished he was dead right now, not for any particular reason, but simply because he had never been so humiliated before. He finally realized, Tang Chen was toying with him!
Damn it, he deliberately drove the price up to its peak, then suddenly gave up. This was treating him like a monkey! Buying a car for one billion—if word got out, his face would be completely lost.
The surrounding customers were also secretly laughing; this guy was really cunning—how could he do something like this?
“You damn well played me!” Cang Shihong, who had never been outwitted like this before, roared, the veins on his forehead bulging.
“You’re not completely stupid after all, realizing that this Young Master was toying with you,” Tang Chen sneered disdainfully; playing tricks on idiots like this was quite amusing when he had nothing better to do.
“Dammit, beat him to death!” Cang Shihong felt he had been provoked to the extreme. Suppressing the urge to spit blood again, he signaled to his men.
The two black security guards clearly understood Chinese. They rushed toward Tang Chen at lightning speed, their fists whistling through the air as they aimed two hefty punches at Tang Chen’s face.
“Two idiots, seeking death!” Without panic, Tang Chen extended his hands, turning his fists into palms. He then forcefully caught the two black security guards’ fists, twisted hard, and directly broke both their wrists.
The two black security guards were tough; they did not cry out. Instead, they coordinated and swung their right legs to kick Tang Chen. Tang Chen sidestepped, yanked them toward himself, and simultaneously punched both of them in the face.
After two thuds, Tang Chen leaped up, delivering two whip kicks to the security guards’ temples. The two black security guards groaned, then collapsed to the ground unconscious on the spot. The whole sequence took less than twenty seconds, leaving the onlookers dazzled. This guy was really powerful.
“Trash, listen up, you idiot. This Young Master is afraid of dirtying his hands even beating your men. If you don’t have the skills, don’t think about playing with this Young Master.” Tang Chen snorted coldly; beating up two security guards was as easy as playing around for him.
“You… just you wait, I’ll definitely get you!” Cang Shihong roared furiously, the flames in his eyes almost burning Tang Chen to ashes.
“Wait until you’ve paid off that one billion. By the way, you really are an idiot, spending one billion on a car. How brain-dead can you be?” Tang Chen shook his head helplessly, putting on a sorrowful expression, then left directly with Xiao Ruiqi.
Thump!
Cang Shihong was so angry he collapsed to the ground again. The more innocent Tang Chen acted, the angrier he became. How could someone be so shameless? No matter what, the news of him spending one billion on a car would probably soon be trending in hot searches…
Tang Chen eventually took Xiao Ruiqi to another 4S dealership and bought a car. The price was a little over five hundred thousand yuan. Actually, Tang Chen initially thought this price was way too cheap, unworthy of his style, but Xiao Ruiqi insisted she really did not need an overly expensive car. Unable to persuade Xiao Ruiqi otherwise, Tang Chen ended up buying this rather trashy car.
“Young Master Tang, where do you plan to go next?” Since Xiao Ruiqi did not have a driver’s license yet, she still rode back in Tang Chen’s car.
Tang Chen thought for a moment, then said, “Let’s just wander around. If it gets too boring, we can head back to school. I’ll take you back to Junyue first.”
Actually, how Xiao Ruiqi wished she could say something like “I’ll accompany you for a walk,” but the words stuck in her throat and she couldn’t get them out.
After dropping Xiao Ruiqi off at the hotel, Tang Chen felt a bit stumped. He absolutely did not want to attend classes, so the only option was to go out and show off by doing some missions. But this damn System was getting smarter lately, and the chances of triggering missions were becoming smaller and smaller.
Ring ring ring!
His mobile phone rang just then. Tang Chen took it out and saw it was Liu Yanran calling. He quickly answered with a laugh, saying, “Police Sister, are you asking me to book a room with you?”
Liu Yanran, who was at her desk reading documents, nearly fell off her chair upon hearing this. She scolded angrily, “Tang Chen, you little pervert who has a wife, can’t you speak a little less bluntly?”
Tang Chen scratched his head sheepishly and said, “Blunt? I don’t think so at all. I didn’t say I want to have sex with you.”
Liu Yanran was utterly stunned, black lines forming on her forehead. She took a few deep breaths, suppressing the urge to smash her phone, and said, “Tang Chen, sister really isn’t in the mood to joke with you right now. I have something I need your help with. Can you come to the police station?”
Tang Chen said, “Why go to that polluted place, the police station? Can’t you just say it over the phone?”
Liu Yanran explained, “Tang Chen, this matter is very important. I can’t explain it clearly over the phone. Please just come to the police station.”
Tang Chen said firmly, “No. There are no girls at the police station. I’ll wait for you at the cafe not far from the station. If you want my help, meet me there.” With that, he hung up. As a man who acts cool, how could he just follow a woman’s orders? Even if she has a big chest, it’s not enough.
Liu Yanran put down her phone, her face covered in black lines. That bastard was really too much. She had already swallowed her pride to ask him, and he still wouldn’t come.
Half an hour later, inside the cafe, Tang Chen and Liu Yanran sat facing each other. Tang Chen asked, “Police Sister, go ahead, what do you need my help with?”
Liu Yanran took a sip of the coffee on the table, then said seriously, “It’s like this: I have to take part in an operation tonight. It’s quite secretive, so I can’t bring too many police officers. I was hoping you could come with me, so I’d have some backup.”
Tang Chen asked, “Is it dangerous?”
Liu Yanran said honestly, “Quite dangerous, but I believe with your skills, it shouldn’t be a problem.”
“Not going.” Tang Chen rejected her flatly, then added, “Evenings are the perfect time for me to have sex with my wife. Why would I go do some dangerous mission with you?”
Liu Yanran’s lips twitched. She said, “Tang Chen, didn’t you say you would watch out for me? Now that I’m in a bit of trouble, you won’t help? Besides, I suspect you were behind several serious cases in the city recently, but I never reported it to my superiors. That’s pretty decent of me, isn’t it?”
Tang Chen sneered, “Police Sister, you are blatantly framing a good kid. Who says every case is related to me? Does that mean I got every girl in the world pregnant?”
“Tang Chen!” Liu Yanran’s patience wore out. She slammed the table with her delicate fist and said, “If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll throw you into the Pacific Ocean! Do you believe me?”
“I don’t.” Tang Chen, this guy, truly knew how to infuriate people without remorse. He sighed and said, “But who told me I’m such a good guy who solves problems for beautiful women? I can help you with this, but you have to give me some reward. Do you think I’d do something with no benefit?”
Liu Yanran, sensing a chance, said, “Alright, then tell me, what is your request?”
Tang Chen said calmly, “You make noodles for me.”
Bang!
Liu Yanran punched and shattered the glass coffee table, enunciating each word, “Say that again, you bastard!”
Tang Chen’s lips trembled, stunned. “Police Sister, that’s public property. You’ll have to pay for that.”
Tang Chen was exasperated. Liu Yanran really wasn’t gentle at all—how could she be so violent? What kind of woman could punch and crack a cafe’s glass table with one hit?
Liu Yanran snorted, crossed her arms making her peaks appear even fuller, and said coldly, “I’m seriously asking for your help. If you keep spouting nonsense, I’ll definitely make you pay.”
Tang Chen said helplessly, “Police Sister, you’ve misunderstood. When I said ‘you make noodles for me,’ I meant the noodles you cook. You know, I’ve been quite picky about food lately, and my wife is busy, so I just want to eat a bowl of noodles made by you. That’s all. Where did your mind go? I’m not that kind of person. I’m so pure.”
“Pure my foot!” Liu Yanran was about to explode. This bastard was definitely playing word games on purpose. Anyone would have misunderstood that line!
