Prepare something impressive

Chen Dong's ignorant eyes rolled around on the two for a while. Then, he waved to the driver and opened the car door, saying, "Shall we go?"

"I'm a bit confused. Allow me to straighten things out," Xiang Que felt that the people from the Chen family were more like charlatans than himself. How come these people are creating more complications in the story than he initially intended in the Chen family?

He pointed to Chen Xia and said, "She's here as a guide. What's your purpose in staying here?"

"Let me tell you this straight. Chen Sanjin wants to create a story between you and my sister. I can see that you are quite disturbing to him, and he doesn't like you. So, I think I should play a supporting role in your story. I've given myself the role of ensuring that when this story concludes, it must turn a comedy into a tragedy," Chen Dong said confidently.

Chen Xia sighed softly, and three black lines appeared on her forehead. She knew that there seemed to be a complex connection between Xiang Que and her family. This could be seen from the attitudes of Chen Sanjin and Wang Linzhu. Moreover, once Chen Sanjin set a plan, no one could change it. Therefore, it seemed that she was already designated as the guide.

"Do you two really want to follow me?" Xiang Que didn't want to argue about this matter, and besides, Chen Xia and Chen Dong were undoubtedly the successors of the Chen family's next generation. It was not bad to let them know about his background in advance.

Chen Xia remained silent, and Chen Dong patted the car door, saying, "Chen's young master will be your chauffeur. With him around, you can swagger around like a crab wherever you go in Tangshan. Quite overbearing."

The car, with the three of them, descended from the mountaintop and headed straight down the mountain. After making a turn, it entered a nearby high-rise residential area and then went into an underground parking lot. Chen Xia furrowed her brows and asked, "Why did you come this way?"

"Get off the car," Chen Dong stopped the car beside a top-tier Range Rover, took out the car keys, and said, "Chen's young master's Audi can't match my style. Let's change the car. I want to drive the Audi. If I encounter someone I know on the road, they must criticize me. I can't afford to lose face."

Xiang Que was speechless. This guy claimed that he could transform into an immortal by pretending, but he thought Chen Dong was even more impressive. He could directly pretend his way into ascending to immortality. If it weren't for the Chen family's enduring prosperity that would last for several generations, given Chen Dong's reckless behavior, he would have had all his limbs broken by now.

After boarding the Land Rover, Chen Dong turned around and asked, "Magician, where are we heading?"

"Do you have a Jin Hong Grand Hotel in Tangshan? Let's go there."

"Oh my god, are we booking a room? Your story is progressing a bit too fast. What's going on? Aren't you giving me a chance to play the supporting role? Are you trying to go straight to the conclusion?"

Chen Xia, in anger, kicked the driver's seat and shouted, "Drive. Wherever he wants to go, go there."

More than half an hour later, the Range Rover entered the city and arrived at the parking lot of the Jin Hong Grand Hotel. Sitting in the car, Xiang Que looked up and observed the hotel.

The Jin Hong Grand Hotel was quite well-known in Tangshan, rated as a four-star hotel. It had eight floors, offering dining, massage, sauna, and accommodation services with complete facilities.

The female ghost attached to Chen Xia had told Xiang Que that she was murdered in this hotel. The person who harmed her was the owner of this hotel, a man named Jun Ge, who belonged to the social underworld. In the early years, he was penniless, but relying on his ruthless nature, he gathered a group of people to engage in debt collection. After three to five years, Jun Ge gradually rose to power, having both followers and money. He then shifted to legitimate businesses, with this hotel being Jun Ge's headquarters. Apart from this, he also owned two nightclubs and a bar.

According to the female ghost, this four-star hotel was not clean. Inside, there were many women kept as prostitutes. Although having prostitutes in such establishments was normal, half of the nightclubs and hotels nationwide had them, but the key point was that Jun Ge's activities were rather dirty.

"Jun Ge's dirty deeds lie in the fact that half of the prostitutes working for him do so voluntarily, while the other half are forced into the profession. To be honest, the women who willingly engage in such activities are barely passable in terms of looks and figure, and Jun Ge has higher standards for the appearance of these women. Therefore, Jun Ge resorted to a dirty tactic; he deceived women from various places and imprisoned them in the hotel to serve clients. Initially, these women resisted, cried, and attempted to escape. In response, Jun Ge instructed his subordinates to beat those who were not compliant. Some were lightly beaten with skin breaking and flesh tearing, while others were so severely beaten that they couldn't get out of bed for two or three months. Eventually, these women who were beaten into submission obediently followed orders. However, a few were not willing to accept their fate and tried to escape.

The female ghost you encountered was one of them. Although she initially tried to run away, she was captured and brought back. Jun Ge decided to annihilate her directly. She died in a room in this hotel. According to the female ghost, aside from her, three other women met the same fate before."

"Magician, you're handling this matter at Jin Hong Grand Hotel?" Chen Dong leaned on the car and said with his head tilted back and nostrils facing the sky.

Xiang Que frowned and asked, "Do you know him?"

"He wants to know me. But can Young Master Chen give him a chance? His level is not high enough," Chen Dong exaggerated, "Wang Jun is somewhat well-known in Tangshan. He has been wanting to curry favor with our family. He sent people to convey invitations for me to have dinner with him several times, but I didn't give him the chance. I'm not interested in him. What's the matter? Magician, do you have a grudge against him or something?"

Chen Xia gave him a slap on the head, saying, "Speak properly and stick out your tongue. Mr. Xiang is coming to Tangshan for the first time. How could he have a grudge against anyone?"

Xiang Que nodded and said, "I do not have any relationship with him. Someone asked me to handle a matter."

Chen Dong grabbed his head and said, "I'll take care of this matter for you. Let Wang Jun crawl down from upstairs in a groveling posture. You can then directly use the sole of your shoe to slap him until he's finding his teeth all over the ground. Then, you can complain, resent, and take revenge. How's the plan? I've designed it for you. Isn't it impressive?"

Chen Dong didn't genuinely want to help Xiang Que. He nearly had his leg broken because of the consequences of his words, so he had no intention of helping Xiang Que. Chen Dong just wanted to quickly resolve this matter and let Xiang Que leave immediately. He wanted Chen Sanjin's fabricated story for Xiang Que and Chen Xia to come to an end. If Xiang Que and Chen Xia continued the story for a few more days in Tangshan, he would feel uneasy.

Xiang Que was speechless. He had a headache and said, "Can you please shut up? I'm about to kneel down and beg you."

Even if Xiang Que could genuinely end the matter according to Chen Dong's arrangement, he couldn't agree. The karma he accepted had to be concluded by himself. He couldn't rely on external forces!
