the immortal emperor returns
Chapter 18 He Was in Danger!
“Ding!”
When the elevator reached the first floor, Chu Xun took Tang Rou out first with a calm face.
“Young Master Bai!” the young man with a crewcut dared not to check the situation of the young man the white suit until then.
Chu Xun, who had gone away for more than ten meters, suddenly stopped and turned back.
“His surname is Bai? Does he have any relationship with the Bai Family?”
The young man with a crewcut trembled and hurriedly said, “His name is Bai Ze, the son of Bai Renjie, who is the second master of the Bai Family.”
“Bring him back with us,” Chu Xun said to Chen Hanlong.
Chen Hanlong walked over, grabbed Bai Ze by the hair and dragged him away.
“Go back and bring a message to the Bai Family for me. Tell them to prepare 500 million when they bring me Wang Song,” Chu Xun looked at the young man with a crewcut and said.
Chen Hanlong had a strange expression on his face. “The Bai Family is really unlucky. They shouldn’t have provoked a man as powerful as an immortal. They deserved this misfortune.” he thought to himself.
There were many people in the hall of the first floor. The scene that Bai Ze, who had passed out, was dragged forward on the ground like a dead dog, attracted the attention of many people.
“Isn’t this man Bai Ze from the Bai Family?”
“It looks he is. Why he ended up like a dead dog now?”
“It looks like he has passed out. Is the man who is dragging him Chen Hanlong? He really dared to do that to a man from the Bai Family?”
“Is Chen Hanlong crazy? How dare he make trouble in Purple Bamboo Club?”
People around whispered.
Chen Hanlong curled his lips disdainfully and thought to himself, “What’s wrong with causing trouble in Purple Bamboo Club?” Now that he had the support of Chu Xun, his confidence had been inflated to the extreme.
.
“Whoola!”
Just when Chu Xun and the other two were about to walk out of the hall, a group of security guards blocked the door.
There were surveillance cameras in the elevator. Besides, each floor of Purple Bamboo Club was under the charge of some people.
A middle-aged man with a feminine expression came over and looked at Chen Hanlong coldly, saying, “Chen Hanlong, how dare you make trouble in Purple Bamboo Club? Do you really think that you’re a big figure after you took charge of Dragon Eagle Gang?”
“I didn’t expect it to be Manager Hou. He only receives diamond members.”
“It seems that Chen Hanlong is in great trouble this time.”
“You’re right. Do you remember the Sun Family before? Even though the family possessed billions, the family master was thrown down from the 15th floor by Manager Hou because he made trouble here. The family also fell down later.”
Among the people around, some worried about Chen Hanlong while some gloated about it.
“Brother Chu Xun!” Tang Rou grabbed Chu Xun’s arm tightly. She had never seen such a scene before.
“It’s all right!” Chu Xun comforted her in a soft voice.
Chen Hanlong looked at Manager Hou and grinned before saying, “Manager Hou, you don’t need to threaten me verbally. Bai Ze was so blind to offend someone he should not. Today, I have to take him back anyway and teach him a lesson for the Bai Family. This is something about the Bai Family and me and has nothing to do with you.”
“Teach him a lesson for the Bai Family? Chen Hanlong, where did you get the nerve to teach someone from the Bai Family a lesson? Aren’t you afraid that you would enrage the Bai Family and ruin your hard-earned achievements?” Manager Hou was also a little shocked. Chen Hanlong usually behaved well when he saw him, but today, he showed no respect to the Bai Family, judging from his words.
“Well, it’s none of your business, Manager Hou. You’d better pretend that you have seen nothing today. It’s good for both of you and me. Nevertheless, whatever you say today, I have to take Bai Ze with me. Even if Great Elder Master Bai comes here, he can’t stop me either.” Chen Hanlong felt very complacent at the moment. On normal days, he had to behave humbly when he saw these people and had never talked as proudly as at this moment.
Manager Hou’s eyes flickered. He couldn’t understand for the moment why Chen Hanlong was so bold that he showed no respect to Great Elder Master Bai. He couldn’t tell if Chen Hanlong was bluffing or really had a backer either.
“Manager Hou, if there is nothing else, please let your people give way to us,” Chen Hanlong said while pointing at the security guards who blocked the door.
Manager Hou did not dare to let Chen Hanlong take Bai Ze away. If Bai Ze was taken away under his nose, the fame of Purple Bamboo Club would be ruined.
“Mr. Chen, you know the rules of Purple Bamboo Club, doesn’t you? Whatever your reason is, Young Master Bai is our guest, and we are responsible for protecting our guests’ safety. Therefore, you cannot take him away.” Manager Hou was uncertain about the cards in Chen Hanlong’s hands, so he addressed him more politely.
Chen Hanlong smiled disdainfully and said, “That’s the rule for Purple Bamboo Club. Does it have anything to do with me? I must take Bai Ze away today. If anyone dares to stop him, don’t blame me for being rude!”
Chen Hanlong’s tough attitude put Manager Hou in a dilemma.
“Mr. Chen, though I don’t know how Young Master Bai has offended you, I apologize to you for him. When he wakes up, I will let him apologize to you. What do you think of this idea?”
Manager Hou wanted to hold off Chen Hanlong first and then inform the Bai Family of the matter so as not to offend each of them.
“Manager Hou, do you really think I dare to do this if it is me who Bai Ze has offended?” Chen Hanlong sneered and asked.
Of course, Manager Hou knew that with the power of the Bai Family, even if Bai Ze offended Chen Hanlong, Chen Hanlong could only swallow his anger. However, now, Chen Hanlong behaved in such a domineering way, which meant that he must have a powerful backer behind him.
“Who did Bai Ze offend? Mr. Chen, please don’t keep me guessing. You know, I’m just working for others.” Manager Hou could not help but behave humbly.
When Chen Hanlong glanced at Chu Xun and saw his calm face, he immediately understood that Chu Xun did not mind that he assumed the dignity of him. He immediately bowed deeply to Chu Xun and then looked at Manager Hou.
With Chen Hanlong’s action, everyone’s attention was drawn to Chu Xun.
Manager Hou was stunned and thought, “It turned out that his backer was this man.” However, he was very confused. He almost knew all the big shots in Gujiang City, but he had never seen the man in front of him.
Manager Hou wondered if Chu Xun came from a big family with senior status.
“How should I address you, sir?” Manager Hou asked carefully.
“I’m just an ordinary man,” Chu Xun said flatly.
Chu Xun was telling the truth, but Manager Hou didn’t think so. He doubted if an ordinary man could make Chen Hanlong grovel.
Manager Hou was in a headache. He couldn’t figure out the other party’s background. If he couldn’t handle this matter well, his career would come to an end.
...
At this time, in a luxurious office on the top floor of the club.
An enchanting and gorgeous woman was lying lazily on a sofa, watching a video on the computer on the tea table in front of her with her charming eyes.
The video was playing what had happened in the elevator before.
“Elder Gui, did you find anything?” The woman’s voice was full of charm which could melt men’s bones.
With the woman’s voice, an old man in a black Tang suit suddenly appeared beside her. After watching the video, he lowered his head and said, “No.”
The woman’s beautiful eyes glittered slightly as she pouted her attractive red lips and said in a playful tone, “Even you couldn’t see through it. What a strange thing.”
“Miss, we should never make this man our enemy!” the old man lowered his head and said.
“Oh? Why?” the woman asked casually.
“He is dangerous,” the old man thought for a moment and continued, “He... is very dangerous!”
The woman sat upright all of a sudden upon hearing the words. She no longer put on a charming expression, and instead, she looked serious and capable at the moment. “Elder Gui, go to try him,” said she.
“Yes,” the old man answered, and then disappeared from the office.
...
When Manager Hou was caught in a dilemma, his cell phone rang suddenly. After he answered the call, Manager Hou said nothing except answering yes several times respectfully.
After hanging up the phone, Manager Hou came over and said to Chu Xun, “Someone wants to see you.”
Chen Hanlong looked angry. “Chu Xun is not someone that others could see when they want to.”
Before Chen Hanlong could speak, Chu Xun spoke first. “Lead the way!”
Manager Hou made a “please” gesture and then led the way.
“Sir, what about him...” Chen Hanlong pointed at Bai Ze who had passed out.
“Leave him there. If he is missing when we come back, there will be no need for Purple Bamboo to exist.”
Manager Hou, who was leading the way in front of them, was a little angry upon hearing this, but he didn’t say anything in the end.
Manager Hou took Chu Xun and the other two to the top floor by elevator and then stopped in front of a room.
“Please come in!” After saying that, he left quickly.
“He ran away like a wild dog,” Chen Hanlong muttered.
Chu Xun raised the corner of his mouth. He could tell that Manager Hou was frightened, by something behind the door.
“Sir please!” Chen Hanlong reached out and pushed the door open, but the next moment, his expression changed drastically, and he stepped backward involuntarily.
Tang Rou also trembled and hid into Chu Xun’s arms.
The two were scared because it was completely dark inside the room. Looking from the outside, it looked like a beast waiting to swallow its prey with its big mouth open.
Chu Xun’s gaze became colder. He patted Tang Rou on the back and said, “The two of you wait outside for me.” After that, he stepped into the room.
As soon as Chu Xun walked in, the door behind him closed automatically.
There was dead silence inside, and it’s pitch dark.
A scornful smile played around the corner of Chu Xun’s mouth. After he broke through the middle stage of Qi-refining realm, his divine sense also made a breakthrough and could cover the area within 50 meters around him.
After he activated his divine sense, everything inside the room appeared in his mind.
The room was only about 40 square meters and seemed empty.
However, it was not actually empty because there was a person hidden in the ceiling.
“Whoosh!”
A gust of wind blew over, waving the corners of Chu Xun’s clothes.
Chu Xun’s expression did not change, and there were obvious disdain in his eyes. The person who hid in the ceiling just now launched an attack toward Chu Xun, but he just passed by him and did not hit him.
“What is he doing? Is he trying to scare me by acting like a ghost?” Chu Xun could not help but wonder.
“Whoosh!”
Another strong wind blew around Chu Xun.
Chu Xun almost laughed out loud. This time, the old man actually ran around him at that funny speed before hiding in the corner again.
Elder Gui, who was hiding in the corner, was also full of confusion. Chu Xun seemed indifferent toward his two actions. Elder Gui wondered whether it was because he was too fast that Chu Xun did not spot him.
He decided to try it again.
Elder Gui rushed toward Chu Xun at a high speed without any shadow in the darkness.
However, just when he came close to Chu Xun, gooseflesh broke out all over his body.
That was because Chu Xun disappeared before his eyes all of a sudden!
At this moment, he felt that someone was blowing toward the back of his neck, which sent shivers up his spine.
Elder Gui turned around suddenly but saw nothing behind him.
At this time, he felt again that someone was blowing toward his neck behind him.
Elder Gui trembled and jumped forward suddenly. In the blink of an eye, he drew more than ten meters away.
The reason why he was called Elder Gui was that he was so fast that he didn’t even have a shadow behind him.
When he stopped, trying to find out where Chu Xun was, the feeling that made his hair stand on end, like a ghosting blowing toward him, came back to him again.
Elder Gui jumped away quickly and fast again. This time, he didn’t stop running until he circled around the room several times. After he stopped, he punched backwards suddenly.
Elder Gui believed that no matter how alert and quick Chu Xun was, it was impossible for him to avoid his sudden attack.
“Whoosh!”
His palm tore the air apart but hit nothing.
In the dark room, only the sound of Elder Gui’s heart beating wildly could be heard.
“Come out!”
Elder Gui roared angrily and punched toward around him several times, but he only hit the air.
