The Immortal Emperor Returns
Lack of Money

“I have to owe Chen Hanlong another favor.” Chu Xun smiled wryly at himself.

“Can I call?” Chu Xun looked at Hong Ling.

“Sure!” Hong Ling nodded. Not a big deal, just a phone call. He would ask someone for money. If so, he could earn more commissions.

“Can I borrow your phone?” Chu Xun walked towards Hong Ling, extending his hand.

“Ugh!”

His request instantly made Hong Ling dumbfounded.

When the others saw this, they were dumbfounded, and then laughed out loud.

“You poor wretch, do you not even have a phone?”

Hong Ling immediately came to a realization from her shock. Looking at him with the most curious expression, he said, “Tell me the number. I'll call!” His phone kept many secrets about the higher-ups of Gujiang City. How could he lend it to others casually?

“I don't know his phone number. But I think you should have it on your phone.” Chu Xun had realized that Hong Ling had advantages. He had to have an extensive network of contacts, which allowed him to bring so many wealthy men together to such a small place. Perhaps, many of the antiques he saw in Chen Hanlong's office came from here.

The moment Chu Xun stopped speaking, everyone present was frightened again. Even Hong Ling had a strange expression on her face, as if she had just eaten a pile of dirt.

“He has no phone or phone number. Is this guy running away from a mental institution?” Someone tease.

Boss Zhou was furious, suffering from a great stomachache. He never thought that a madman could fool him. For him, his 20 million yuan would definitely go to waste.

Hong Ling's face also fell. Chu Xun's perfect calm deceived him, so he let him in without verifying his qualifications. He didn't expect her to make such a joke.

“Only phone calls, is it difficult?”

Seeing that Hong Ling did not reply, Chu Xun asked emotionlessly.

“Then, who are you calling?” Hong Ling's tone of voice was sharp with anger.

“Chen Hanlong's. Tell him I'm waiting for him here.”

“Chen Hanlong? Chairman Chen of Tianyuan Company?” Hong Ling looked at him in surprise. “Do you know Chairman Chen?”

Chu Xun thought for a moment and then said, ‘”I've seen it once!”

Hong Ling's face flushed red as she listened. Enraged, he almost coughed out a mouthful of blood.

Of course, he knew Chen Hanlong, and so did everyone present. Although everyone present had more assets than Chen Hanlong's, they were extremely afraid of him for one reason: he controlled half the underworld in Gujiang City even after he gave up the old business.

However, Chu Xun asked him to call Chen Hanlong, even if he only met once! It was true that Hong Ling had built a well-connected network among the higher-ups of Gujiang City. But if he offended Chen Hanlong, he knew for sure that some of them would be willing to stand up and talk for him.

“This person is completely insane.”

“You brat, I don't care if you run away from a mental hospital. Since what you did today cost 20 million yuan, I hope you are ready to die!

“It's a shame to have been fooled by a madman all the time!”

Hong Ling's pretty face burned with anger. Since today's incident humiliated the rich people here, it seemed like he had to sacrifice his hands and feet to recover his relationship with them. Within him, the hatred towards Chu Xun uncontrollably became extremely strong.

Hong Ling would ask some men to expel Chu Xun, but the latter first said, “This is just a call. What if Chen Hanlong comes? Think twice about it! ”

His words placed Hong Ling in a dilemma. “He's right. What if Chen Hanlong wants to come? If I were to expel him, I would offend Chen Hanlong. But if I call, I might also anger Chen Hanlong .. “

This situation gave Hong Ling a headache.

“Miss Hong Ling, relax. I'm some kind of friend of Chairman Chen. I'll call him. I can't believe Chairman Chen knows this guy. Let me expose his lies.” A middle-aged man stood up and said.

“Then thank you, Chairman Li.” Hong Ling was very grateful. After all, it would be best if someone else could make this call for him.

“Miss Hong Ling, alike! But remember to invite me to dinner later!” The man smiled lightly.

By making this call, he could successfully do two things. First, the moment he solved Hong Ling's problem, he would thank you. Second, it was a great opportunity to show his social circle to others.

To Chairman Li, he helped Chu Xun only in passing.

Chen Hanlong immediately answered the call.

“Halo, Chairman Chen! This is Li Tian, ” said the man with a smile.

“Ah, Chairman Li. What's up?” Chen Hanlong's voice passed the phone.

“Yeah, I'm now at the Treasure House. Since an interesting thing related to you is going on here, I am calling you to verify it.”

“Related with me? What the hell is going on?”

“This is the problem. A little friend wants you to come to the Treasure House. He said he knows you.”

“Did he know me? What's name?”

“Looks Chu Xun.”

It sounded like Chen Hanlong slammed the phone. Then, only the beep tone remained.

Hearing Chu Xun's name, Chen Hanlong immediately threw away his phone as if it was electrocuted. Like an arrow, he ran out the door, shouting, “Quick! Prepare the car for me!”

Their phone lines are dead. But in a daze, Li Tian was still holding his phone on the other end of the phone. He then called again. But no one answered.

“What did Chairman Chen say?” someone asked Li Tian.

“She hung up.” After a short silence, Li Tian replied with a puzzled look.

“Chairman Chen hangs up. It proves that he does not know this person at all.”

“One stop. Again, this crazy guy fooled all of us.”

But Li Tian frowned. He always felt that Chen Hanlong's reaction was a little strange. Why would he hang up the phone in such a hurry after hearing Chu Xun's name?

“Do you really know Chairman Chen?” Li Tian looked at Chu Xun. He felt that Chu Xun was not lying to them.

But eyes half-closed, Chu Xun did not reply as if he had heard nothing.

“How dare you still put up a mystical atmosphere! Miss Hong Ling, ask your men to expel this man quickly.” Someone shouted.

“Nona, how can we trouble you with such menial work? Just leave him to me, ” Boss Zhou said, in a malicious voice. Then he pulled out his phone and dialed the number.

Before long, two burly men in black clothes entered. They went straight to Boss Zhou and asked in unison, “There's an order, sir?”

“Bring the guy out. Disable him and give the meat to the dog. ”

The others looked delighted as if they could derive pleasure from Chu Xun's misfortune. Since Boss Zhou's anger seemed real, this person was screwed up.

The two burly men nodded and drew closer, looking at Chu Xun with evil eyes. In their eyes, Chu Xun was too thin and weak for them to take seriously. They instantly reached out to grab Chu Xun's shoulder, trying to take it out as if they were just catching a chick.

Suddenly, Chu Xun opened his originally drooping eyes. A cold glint flashed across his eyes as he pointed at the two men with his index finger without warning.

“Enough! Jeez!”

Two light sounds! It sounded like a sharp knife piercing through the leaves.

The two burly men felt a piercing pain in their palms and looked down. As soon as they discovered that one finger had pierced through the middle of the palm, they screeched.

“Whispering!”

Chu Xun unleashed two hard punches, aiming at the necks of the two fat men. Their screams suddenly stopped. Meanwhile, the shock of the punch made them fly out and fall violently in front of Boss Zhou. Then they fainted.

Boss Zhou's pupils widened, and the muscles on his face twitched in a series of twitches.

In a mute astonishment, the others around stared at the two unconscious bodyguards with dull eyes!

Slowly, Chu Xun withdrew his hand. As if he had done nothing, he said flatly, “21 million yuan!”

Others take a long time to regain a bit of their common sense. With blank gazes at each other, they were all at a loss as to what to do for now!

Chu Xun directed his gaze to Boss Zhou. “Are you going to keep bidding?”

Before Boss Zhou could say anything, a figure rushed in. It was Chen Hanlong.

Chen Hanlong ignored the others. After seeing Chu Xun, he hurriedly went straight to see him and apologized respectfully, “Master! I'm sorry. I'm very late.”

When everyone present heard his sincere apology, their hearts skipped a beat. “Chen Hanlong has great respect for this young man. Is he from a big family? But this isn't right. How could someone from such a family be so poor?”

“I'm sorry to trouble you with that task.” Seeing Chen Hanlong sweating everywhere, Chu Xun knew how anxious he was along the way.

“Master, what happened?” Chen Hanlong glanced at the others, and his eyes became fierce.

“Nothing serious. It's just an item here to my liking. But since I was short on money, I was unable to offer a higher bid than Boss Zhou could offer. Then I should ask for your help.”

Chen Hanlong looked at Boss Zhou with a grim look. “So, you do have a much deeper bag!”

The moment Chen Hanlong entered, Boss Zhou realized that he would be in big trouble because his transportation business was within Chen Hanlong's territory. To calm him down, Boss Zhou had to put on a smiling face. “Chairman Chen, it was just a misunderstanding. I want to apologize to this little sister!”

“Male sister? How dare you call him that?” Chen Hanlong broke into a curse. Even he had to address Chu Xun Master Chu respectfully.

But without giving Boss Zhou a chance to explain, Chen Hanlong turned around and bowed low to Chu Xun.

“Tn. Chu, trust me. Leave this thing to me!” Then, Chen Hanlong looked around and said coldly, “From now on, you can bid on items freely. But no matter how much money you pay, I will pay 20% more. ”

Previously, they had teased Chu Xun just because no one believed that Chen Hanlong knew this person.

Now, everything was quite clear, plus Chen Hanlong was respectful and respectful to Chu Xun. It turns out that the facts are very different from what others expected. At this moment, if any fool who was unaware of the current situation jumped out and bid, he was looking for trouble.

Therefore, after Chen Hanlong finished speaking, no one let out a sound.
