The Rebirth of the Legendary King
My name is Ling
Chen Wu was still helpless with his thoughts. Even so, he continued reading the documents.
Ling's phone vibrated. He received an e-mail. After reading and checking the contents of the e-mail, he put his phone on the table. He didn't put it back in his pocket. His hands are back together. He sat back quietly.
Chen Wu had already finished reading the documents. Chen Wu had originally only read for formality. He knew Ling had never studied business. How could he make a proposal?
But his expression changed after a few minutes. He read the document again with a trembling hand.
Liam and Yuan who saw this were confused. They looked at each other with astonished gazes, then turned their eyes to Ling. They're getting surprised.
As Chen Wu wanted to read the third time, Ling reached out and took the proposal. Then he put it in his bag.
Chen Wu was shocked.
Ling got up from his seat and put on the bag, "It seems like Uncle has understood the contents of the document."
He then shifted his chair and prepared to leave. He stepped towards the door. As his finger landed on the door handle, he recalled something. He did not turn around. He just said it casually, "Oh yeah, Uncle. I heard you opened a new area. Do you want to start your own business?"
"And to whom you side," Ling turned her head slightly and chuckled. "I think Uncle will make a wise decision."
Prangs!
Chen Wu's coffee cup fell off. He saw Ling's departure with a face full of shock.
Chen Wu felt Chen Company would suffer a setback since rejecting Wuzhou's proposal. Therefore, he wanted to save himself and start his own business. He has kept this secret very well. No friend or family knows. But how did Ling know?
He was still sitting in his chair trying to calm himself down. But failing, his finger trembled even more violently.

After leaving the restaurant, they stopped by a fried chicken booth. That place was in a small alley of recommendations from Yuan.
"The fried chicken is very good" Liam said after they finished eating. They are now the way home.
"Where did you find a place like that?" ask Liam curiously.
"I go there often," replied Yuan honestly. At first he thought that these two noble children would not eat in the slums. Yet even Liam asked to go there again next time.
Suddenly Liam remembered something. "How can you make your uncle confused and frightened?" asked Liam who glanced at Ling still playing mobile phone.
"There's a tradition in my family. The talented boy will be forced to work at Chen Company. Like mom. He works very hard" Ling said. He continued, but he chose silence.
Even so, Liam and Yuan understood his point.
"You don't want to work for Chen Company?" yuan asked widened his eyes.
"I can't work there because I'm an ordinary person and a fool in learning. And you don't work there because you don't want to?" yuan Protest.
Ling only chuckled and did not answer Yuan's question.
At that moment they walked in line. Suddenly there was a wind passing through them. Liam knew it was a passing human, "Wow! He's so fast!"
"It looks like he's after someone. Too bad it's a dead end" said Yuan who had memorized this alley.
Suddenly the wind came back. Now the man stopped in front of them. He was a man about 30 or 35 years old. Before they could make a move, the person pulled Ling.
Just then, the person who was chasing after the man arrived.
He looked back ahead. He was more worried about Ling. The man who pulled him earlier was not a random person. He is a fugitive from Shadow City.
"Xia," Yu Bin said as he glanced at Zhuo Xia next to him.
The woman was wearing a black shirt with baggy pants. He lowered his face and showed his special smile. Then his face lifted. He stared intently at the man who was pulling Ling.
"Take him off" Zhuo Xia said coldly.
"Tie him off?" the man shouted furiously.
"Am I stupid? If I let go then you'll catch me" he continued.
Zhuo Xia was still staring at him intensely. His movements and posture were very elegant. "Even you won't be able to leave if you don't let go."
The mood turned silent. Tension was between them. Suddenly, a soft laughter sounded.
"Wait a minute" Ling said casually even though the man was flanking his neck. "Are you trying to take me hostage?"
The mood was silent again. They did not think that the young man was very calm. Is he too stupid or too confident?
Yu Bin and the lady in the suit behind him frowned. They never like it when they are on a mission, there are just ordinary people involved. Sometimes the person does not know what is dangerous or not.
The person in front of him was a fugitive from Shadow City. He had been in Urban City for a few days. But Yu Bin can only track him today. Can already imagine the man's ability, right?
"Damn!" Yu Bin snubbed.
"Can't you tell me when to give up and when to be arrogant?" ask Ling. His face became gloomy as well as his subordinates.
In their group, only Zhuo Xia did not experience a change in expression. He watched Ling's movements.
Just then, energy gathered in Ling's right hand. He turned around and threw a fist at the fugitive's chest. He lifted the bag then threw it hard at the fugitive's head.
The movements are fast, sharp, and accurate.
Quickly, the fugitive tried to dodge Ling's attack. But it is completely unavoidable. He chose to pounce on Ling.
As quickly as the fugitive made his move, Ling spoke, "I haven't formally introduced myself."
Ling continued, "My name is Ling. And my last name is X!"
The deg!
The fugitive's movements instantly stopped. He was only a few centimeters away from Ling. The man froze for a moment. A few seconds later, he woke up and wanted to escape.
Brak!
A graceful woman appeared in front of Ling and kicked the fugitive. The fugitive slammed hard.
The woman in front of him stood against the sunlight. Ling could clearly see his back which looked cold and lonely, but still a noble aura.
Ling frowned. Ling's one punch didn't affect the fugitive. But with one kick Zhuo Xia, he did not expect, the fugitive immediately fell and could not get up.
"I hope we can work well together" Ling said. His eyes met directly with Zhuo Xia's eyes. He smiled warmly and then praised, "Your skills are pretty good."
Zhuo Xia returned Ling's smile. He deepened his gaze, "You're not too bad either."
