Seeing Su Chen''s attitude, a trace of anger shed in the eyes of this Hames young master!


    Upon meeting twice, he greeted warmly and enthusiastically, but this guy seemed so indifferent, which made the usually revered Hames feel quite embarrassed.


    "Young master Hames, please don''t mind. He has this kind of character, but he''s actually a nice person."


    Lin Ruoxue quickly said, knowing that offending this young master Hames was not an option.


    "It''s nothing, President Lin. Do you think I''m so narrow-minded?"


    Young master Hames forcibly swallowed his breath and then smiled, saying:


    "Mr. Su''s personality is quite good!"


    "That''s good, that''s good. Let''s continue our discussion."


    Hearing this, Lin Ruoxue also heaved a sigh of relief and gave Su Chen, who was drinking tea with her cup, a re.


    Su Chen nced at this young master Hames and secretly became more cautious in his heart.


    Usually, hypocrites are more dangerous than straightforward viins. However, with himself there, he wasn''t afraid of any tricks!


    Furthermore, there were always five Shadow Guards by Lin Ruoxue''s side for protection.


    As for the Nether Temple A team''s action squad, Su Chen had sent them back after dealing with several major families.


    Because of this, he had added three more Shadow Guards.


    If this young master Hames really had bad intentions, he wouldn''t mind taking down the entire Hames family!


    It seemed their discussion would take a long time, so Su Chen returned to his office after sitting for a while.


    Just as he sat down in his office chair, the front desk called to say someone was there to see him. Su Chen didn''t think much of it and let the front desk allow the visitor through.


    Soon, there was a knock on his office door, and Su Chen casually said, "Come in."


    The door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man in his forties walked in, looking very ordinary, much like any middle-aged man on the street.


    However, Su Chen was a bit stunned at first nce!


    Because this middle-aged man was a Martial Artist and a rather highly cultivated one at that!


    Simrly, the middle-aged man was even more shocked upon seeing Su Chen!


    He did not expect the young man he was looking for to be an expert in the Meridian Expansion Realm!


    Such a young Meridian Expansion Realm cultivator was very rare, even if he was just at the Meridian Expansion First Layer!


    "Sir, may I help you?"


    Su Chen asked after being momentarily stunned.


    "Mr. Su, I do have something to discuss with you."


    The middle-aged man spoke up.


    "I''m sorry, but I don''t think I know you."


    Su Chen waved his hand.


    "But you know my daughter."


    The middle-aged man looked at Su Chen and said.


    "May I know who your daughter is?"


    Su Chen asked in surprise upon hearing this.


    "You know Xiao Yaning, don''t you?"


    "Your daughter is Yaning?"


    Su Chen''s eyes widened in disbelief.


    A few days ago, Xiao Yaning mentioned that someone named Jiangbei came looking for her, iming to be her father.


    Unexpectedly, he found his way to Su Chen today.


    "It seems your rtionship with my daughter is quite deep."


    The middle-aged man smiled lightly upon hearing this.


    "We''re good friends."


    Su Chen didn''t deny it, nodding his head.


    The middle-aged man did not refute either. However, based on his investigation, this young man and his daughter were probably more than just good friends.


    Since Xiao Yaning''s attitude was unclear, Su Chen''s current demeanor was rather normal.


    "Mr. Su, I came today because of your good rtionship with my daughter, hoping you could help me with a favor."


    The middle-aged man looked at Su Chen and said.


    "Go ahead."


    Su Chen responded indifferently.


    "It''s like this, I want to ask Mr. Su to persuade Yaning toe home."


    The middle-aged man spoke sincerely, almost to the point of pleading.


    "Pardon my asking, why did you abandon Yaning back then, and why are you looking for her now?"


    Su Chen stared at the middle-aged man and asked.


    This question was crucial, as it would determine his stance.


    "Sigh, Yaning is my only child. If it wasn''t necessary, how could I bear it?"


    The middle-aged man sighed and said:


    "Back then, our family had a powerful enemy, threatening to wipe us out."


    "Yaning was still a baby, so my wife and I entrusted her to an old servant of our family to take her away and hide."


    "But yearster, when the crisis was over, we tried to find Yaning, only to have no leads at all. Even the old servant couldn''t be found."


    "Later, we learned that the old servant had died within two or three years, and Yaning had vanished without a trace."


    "It was only in recent years that we found some clues suggesting she might be in Jiangnan."


    "Over the years, I''ve almost traveled all over Jiangnan, and finally, Heaven did not let me down; I found her!"


    The middle-aged man sighed deeply, tears mixed with a relieved smile.


    Su Chen handed him a tissue and thought: it seems they didn''t intentionally abandon her, but did so to keep Yaning safe.


    "Then why didn''t you exin this to Yaning?"


    Su Chen tilted his head and asked.


    "Sigh, Yaning is very guarded and resentful towards me now. I haven''t had the chance to speak."


    The middle-aged man sighed.


    "It''s not resentment; Yaning cares too much!"


    Su Chen looked at the middle-aged man and said:


    "Moreover, this happened so suddenly; it''s normal for her to not ept it immediately."


    "I know, I don''t me her. If anyone''s to me, it''s us as parents for not fulfilling our duty!"


    The middle-aged man shook his head.


    "Alright, uncle, I promise I''ll try to persuade Yaning to go back."


    Su Chen said:


    "But I can''t guarantee the oue. I''ll respect Yaning''s own decision."


    "Thank you, thank you!"


    The middle-aged man quickly stood up and deeply bowed to Su Chen!


    "Uncle, you shouldn''t do this. Please get up."


    Su Chen immediately came out from behind his desk and helped the middle-aged man up.


    "Mr. Su, I will be in Yandu recently. This is my number. Please contact me if there''s any news."


    The middle-aged man took a piece of paper and a pen from the desk and wrote down a phone number.


    "Alright."


    Su Chen nodded.


    Soon after, the middle-aged man left, and Su Chen returned to his position.


    He didn''t expect Xiao Yaning''s biological father to be such a powerful Martial Artist!


    Su Chen then made himself another cup of tea and started reading thetest issue of "Men''s Health".


    After flipping through it twice, he got bored and began looking at some past "insightful" issues.


    He couldn''t help but see the issue with Jiang Ying on the cover. Seeing it again, he couldn''t help but marvel at her versatility and potential!


    Simrly, he remembered that he had nned to help her but hadn''t done so yet.


    So, he called Jiang Ying to ask if she was in Yandu, as she was always traveling for filming.


    Fortunately, Jiang Ying had just finished a movie and was resting recently.


    So Su Chen asked her out for coffee, and Jiang Ying readily agreed...
