Refusing help

"What conditions?" Lin Ziyan asked suspiciously as she narrowed her eyes.

Zhou Yuan smiled instead, "It's just a small thing. How about a one-night date?"

Hearing this, Lin Ziyan's cheeks turned red. It turned out that Zhou Yuan asked her out. At first, she was a little suspicious of Zhou Yuan, maybe he asked for something strange from her, but it turned out to be a date.

For some reason, she was actually happy when she heard this.

"If it's just a date, fine, I agree." Lin Ziyan nodded and said.

"Very good." Zhou Yuan smiled.

"But, it was just a date, okay?"

"Of course. I'm not a woman-obsessed person. I don't think it's bad to have a time like this just the two of us." Zhou Yuan said with a smile.

"Okay." Zhou Yuan nodded and smiled, her cheeks slightly blushing.

"Patriarch Huan, I am Wang Liang, the young master of the Wang family. Xiao Chen is my friend. I hope you can give me some face, and forget about this incident. Your statement may not be true, where is the evidence that Xiao Chen conspired with the assassin?"

This time, Wang Liang said in a loud voice to defend Xiao Chen.

Everyone who heard this was also surprised. It was Wang Liang, and he was protecting Xiao Chen.

They all knew Wang Liang's identity, and they were also curious about what patriarch Huan Aji would do.

"Young master Wang, I don't need evidence to prove him guilty. My son's words are true. And to give you a face.... You are not Wang Long. I will still teach that friend of yours a lesson." Huan Aji said firmly, he ignored Wang Liang's words.

Hearing this, Wang Liang's expression darkened, he didn't expect Huan Aji to dare to disrespect him.

"So, you're ready to accept the consequences of refusing my words?" Wang Liang said coldly.

"Why not? The Wang family is not that great, in fact, they are declining every year. If I take this case to the imperial court, guess who wins?" Huan Aji said fearlessly.

"You!" Wang Liang was furious when he heard Huan Aji's words.

"Young master Wang, don't waste your energy protecting Xiao Chen. As a good citizen, I will report this to the police." Huan Aji said firmly.

Wang Liang's expression became gloomy. But Xiao Chen was calm even though he was glaring at Huan Aji.

He was not afraid of being policed, his master had a police general connection, so he was not afraid of being imprisoned or punished.

"Patriarch Huan, I think you have misunderstood."

This time, a voice sounded in everyone's ears.

Everyone immediately turned their gaze to the source of the voice, it was Zhou Yuan.

"Young master Zhou, what do you mean?" Huan Aji asked curiously.

"Didn't you see? Xiao Chen's clothes were dirty and dusty, I could see at a glance that he was indeed fighting someone." Zhou Yuan said lightly, but his voice could be heard by everyone.

Huan Ji's expression was also confused. Could his vision be wrong? But that person was definitely Xiao Chen.

But he looked at Xiao Chen even more closely. It was true that his clothes looked dirty and there were traces of dirt.

But Xiao Chen's expression was gloomy, even he was furious in his heart. He never wanted to be helped by Zhou Yuan.

He knew how cunning Zhou Yuan was, he intended to help him, but it was definitely not that simple. Zhou Yuan must be up to something and it must be to his detriment!

"Zhou Yuan, I don't need your help!" Xiao Chen shouted.

Hearing this, everyone was surprised. Including Huan Ji. In fact, he was about to say to let Xiao Chen go. But he didn't expect Xiao Chen to say something like this.

"What? Xiao Chen, I'm helping you sincerely because we're classmates. Why are you refusing instead?" Zhou Yuan asked curiously.

But he hid his satisfaction in his heart. He honestly didn't expect Xiao Chen to refuse his help either. But that's a good thing.

Meanwhile, Xiao Chen's expression was grim, "Zhou Yuan, I won't fall to your ruse! What are you planning to do?" Xiao Chen said in a louder voice.

"What do you mean? I just wanted to help you. (Sigh) I know you don't like me, but it's also for your own good. Do you want to go to jail?"

"I'd rather be imprisoned than helped by a cunning person like you!" Xiao Chen said as he pointed at Zhou Yuan with his finger.

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed. They couldn't believe Xiao Chen had the courage to go against Zhou Yuan.

They could see that Zhou Yuan had good intentions by helping Xiao Chen. But Xiao Chen refused instead.

"Xiao Chen, right? You really are shameless. Actually, I was about to let you go because young master Zhou wanted to help you. But you turned him down instead." This time, Huan Ji said displeasedly.

"That's right, I wonder why that Xiao Chen refused young master Zhou's help. Are the two of them enemies?"

"I think Xiao Chen is the one who is hostile towards Zhou Yuan. Maybe he is jealous of Zhou Yuan's status."

"That's right, he really is shameless. He doesn't appreciate young master Zhou's kindness."

Many people started to sneer when they saw Xiao Chen's attitude. Their impression of Xiao Chen became bad.

Wang Liang also wondered why Xiao Chen had refused Zhou Yuan's help. Even though Xiao Chen hated Zhou Yuan a lot, he should be able to see his condition for himself.

If he refused, then he would be imprisoned.

...........

Zhou Yuan's expression became displeased. Of course he was faking it.

He sat back down and looked at Lin Ziyan, "Looks like our date is canceled. I don't know what's in that person's head." Zhou Yuan shook his head and said.

Lin Ziyan's expression was gloomy, she also wondered why Xiao Chen had refused Zhou Yuan's help. Did Xiao Chen hate Zhou Yuan so much that he was willing to be reported to the police instead of being helped by Zhou Yuan?

She was speechless. She also didn't want to defend Xiao Chen anymore.

Now, she didn't care about Xiao Chen's fate.

.........

"Uhm, excuse me, this old man wants Xiao Chen to be free, does anyone have any objections?"

Suddenly a voice was heard from the guest chair.
