The Rogue Villager Chen Erbao

Chapter 226: Frustrated Charles

Bailong Village.

After Fang Yun and Qiu Shuzhen had lunch at home, they cleaned up and headed out to the factory to oversee things.

Just as Fang Yun stepped out the door, she saw a strangely dressed, middle-aged man pacing back and forth in front of her house.

The man wore a loose robe, was of average build, and had a turban on his head—clearly not the local style of dress.

Curious, Fang Yun walked up to him, greeted him, and asked, "Excuse me, are you looking for someone?"

Charles was in a very bad mood.

He had staked out Chen Erbao's house all night long!

The night was cold and damp with dew, but he was a Gold Medal Assassin and an Ancient Martial Star. His physique could easily handle it.

But after waiting all night for nothing, anyone would be seething with frustration.

He waited until seven or eight in the morning, but with no sign of Chen Erbao, he had no choice but to find a place to rest for a while.

Around noon, he had hurried back.

He waited for ages under the scorching sun and didn't see a single soul!

He was absolutely furious!

Hearing Fang Yun's question, Charles's eyes narrowed slightly. He delivered his prepared speech: "I'm a medicinal herb merchant from out of town. I heard your esteemed village is building a medicinal herb cultivation base, and I wanted to see if there was any possibility of cooperation!"

Although Fang Yun found it strange, she didn't dare delay when she heard he was here to cooperate with Chen Erbao. She immediately replied earnestly, "I'm sorry... Chen Erbao is away on a business trip. If you need to find him urgently, I can give him a call for you!"

"No, no, that's not necessary. Just tell me where he went. I can find him myself!"

Charles was very polite.

Given his status, it was beneath him to lose his temper with a woman.

Fang Yun had already taken out her phone. Hearing Charles's words, she hesitated for a moment. "He went to Binhai... Are you sure you don't need me to call him for you?"

'Binhai?!'

'Fuck!'

Charles cursed inwardly, but his face still held a gentle smile. "No need. I'll go to Binhai to find him. Don't worry, I can get in touch with him!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Fang Yun watched Charles's retreating figure, feeling a bit strange. After he disappeared from sight, she thought for a moment and decided to call Chen Erbao anyway.

"Er Bao? Are you busy?"

Chen Erbao was just leaving a coffee shop with Lin Rui when he received Fang Yun's call. Thinking there was a problem at the factory, his expression turned grave. "Sis, I'm fine. What's wrong?"

"Well, there was this strange guy just now..."

Fang Yun relayed what Charles had said.

Chen Erbao was taken aback.

'An out-of-town medicinal herb merchant?'

He thought about it for a long time but couldn't guess who it might be, so he decided to drop it. "Sis, if he comes looking for me again, just get his phone number."

"Okay, when are you coming back?"

Chen Erbao thought for a moment. "Probably in about a week. We'll see how things go. When I get back, we're going to be busy!"

"Okay. Be safe out there..."

"I will. Bye..."

Since Lin Rui was right beside him, Chen Erbao couldn't say much more, so he ended the call after a brief exchange.

As soon as he put down his phone, Lin Rui asked curiously, "Brother Er Bao, is something wrong at home? If you're busy, you should go back first!"

The girl was very considerate.

Chen Erbao stroked Lin Rui's hair and smiled. "It's nothing, just some strange guy looking for me... But let's not talk about that. Let's go to Dawan Mall!"

"Okay!"

Lin Rui happily clung to Chen Erbao's arm, and the two of them drove away from Antique Street.

Dawan Mall was one of the largest chain malls in the country, offering everything from food and drink to lodging and transportation—all of it luxury brands.

Chen Erbao planned to deck Lin Rui out like a little princess, so she wouldn't be lured away by other guys at school.

Not that he thought Lin Rui would ever betray him.

But a man earns money for his woman to spend!

The two arrived at Dawan Mall, and Chen Erbao led Lin Rui straight to a clothing store.

...

Meanwhile, Charles drove into the city with a grim expression, then laid into Wang Ming of EX Group. "You fucking bunch of losers! The guy went to Binhai ages ago! Why the hell didn't you have any intel on that?!"

Wang Ming was completely baffled. "Grandmaster Charles, we had no idea... Please wait a moment, I'll send someone to investigate right now!"

Since Ma Qiming wasn't in Hongyuan City, he had to personally find someone to look into it.

It wasn't until two or three in the afternoon that he received a call confirming Chen Erbao had bought a plane ticket to Binhai yesterday. He was rendered speechless.

'Fuck, the company is so big and still on the rise. How can Chen Erbao, the boss, just run around all over the place?!'

'It's going to go bankrupt sooner or later!'

Enduring Charles's verbal abuse, Wang Ming quickly bought a plane ticket to Binhai and personally escorted Charles to the airport.

...

In Binhai, Ma Qiming was having a meal with Young Master Wang Xiaolin of Da Wan when he suddenly got a call from Wang Ming.

"What? Chen Erbao is in Binhai?!"

Ma Qiming was stunned for a second, then overjoyed. "Don't worry, I'm in Binhai right now. I'll send people to investigate immediately. There's absolutely no way he'll escape, even if he grows wings!"

After hanging up, Ma Qiming calmed himself down and went back to his meal.

Wang Xiaolin was average-looking and sat upright on his chair, accompanied by a gorgeous young woman who was dining with him.

"Young Master Ma, what has you so worked up?"

He asked with a smile, noticing that Ma Qiming seemed a bit distracted.

Ma Qiming sighed. "It's nothing, Young Master Wang. Let's continue our earlier conversation..."

At that moment, in a luxury boutique not far from them, Chen Erbao was helping Lin Rui pick out clothes.

"This outfit won't do, it's too revealing. Wear this one!"

Chen Erbao looked at the low-cut top Lin Rui was wearing, not quite satisfied, and picked out a different one.

Lin Rui looked at him with a smile. "Brother Er Bao, if I wore this out, would you get jealous?"

Chen Erbao seized the opportunity to pinch her cheek. "Of course I would. You're my woman. I'm the only one who gets to look. No one else is allowed so much as a glance!"

He nudged Lin Rui back toward the fitting room and handed her the clothes.

Soon, Lin Rui emerged wearing a snow-white knit sweater with a long red skirt.

Not only did it cover everything that needed covering, but it also accentuated her perfect figure!

Chen Erbao nodded in satisfaction. "We'll take it!"

The sales associate cheerfully and quickly bagged the clothes and handed them over.

Chen Erbao was already carrying a ton of bags, large and small, filled with clothes for summer, fall, and even winter—a complete wardrobe!

He also picked out a couple of suitable outfits for himself.

He took the clothes to the front counter to pay. The total came to over one hundred twenty thousand yuan, but Chen Erbao didn't even blink, simply taking out his bank card and handing it over.

With a BEEP, the transaction went through.

Lin Rui was still a bit hesitant, leaning in to whisper in Chen Erbao's ear, "Brother Er Bao, the clothes here are so expensive. I've never worn anything this pricey..."

Chen Erbao laughed heartily. "Don't worry, this is nothing. Later, I'll take you to buy bags and jewelry. I'm going to dress you up as a little princess, so that all the boys at your school feel so insecure when they see you they won't even dare to look twice!"

"Hee hee!"
