"Brother Chen, I’m at the Sea Tide Club, and I’ve run into some trouble..."
Lin Chen interrupted Xu Qingchuan, speaking sharply and decisively: "Activate the token I gave you, I’ll be there right away."
Xu Qingchuan hesitated for a moment: "I might have offended someone from the Wei Family."
Wei Family?
Lin Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly: "No problem, I’ve fought with their family head before, still have some scores to settle, don’t mind offending them a little more. Just activate the token."
Seeing Lin Chen say this, Xu Qingchuan no longer hesitated: "Okay."
He had to clarify the situation first, hoping Lin Chen was made aware; otherwise, once he got there, getting out wouldn’t be easy.
The Wei Family, though one of the Lower Twelve Gates, is nonetheless one of the Imperial Star Thirty-six Elite Families.
While the Tianheng Group is formidable, they’re only powerful on one planet, simply no match for such influential Imperial Star families.
He knew Lin Chen was now at the Security Bureau, but he was just a Special Service Officer. If deep trouble ensued, whether the bureau would back him was another question.
A moment later, Lin Chen’s figure appeared in a dark corner of the Sea Tide Club.
Xu Qingchuan’s clothes were disheveled, still stained with wine, appearing as if he’d had a tussle with someone.
"Brother Chen!"
Seeing Lin Chen, Xu Qingchuan’s eyes lit up as he approached, his gaze full of anticipation.
Lin Chen glanced at Xu Qingchuan: "Got physical?"
Xu Qingchuan replied with a wry smile: "It started as a scuffle, then turned a bit physical, but not serious. The other party just wanted to overpower me. I used a Defense Treasure, but couldn’t withstand it, took a slight loss..."
Lin Chen nodded: "Who was the opponent, and how did the fight start?"
Xu Qingchuan sighed: "Wasn’t I here to network and solve my troubles? The person I contacted has a young lady in the family, greatly adored by her family. I figured if I could befriend her, she might say a few words on my behalf, and perhaps change some things."
"Brother Chen, you know about my people skills. She happened to be quite curious about my identity as a cultivator, so after meeting up a couple of times, we became somewhat acquainted."
"Today, we had a meal together, then headed to a bar in the evening for some lively fun, only to run into a young master from the Wei Family, who knows the young lady I was with, and seems to be fond of her..."
Lin Chen’s expression turned somewhat peculiar: "A jealousy feud? So he attacked you, aiming to humiliate you?"
Xu Qingchuan said helplessly: "Yes, it’s a cliché situation, but such melodramatic events are common in the world, nothing surprising."
Lin Chen nodded: "You were troubled. What was the young lady’s stance?"
Xu Qingchuan answered in a low voice: "She doesn’t like that young master from the Wei Family. With her presence and verbal threats, he dared not really do anything to me. Otherwise, it wouldn’t just be a slightly dirty hem; I’d be crushed underfoot."
"If I back down from this, I’ll lose face, and my relation with the young lady would likely end. I don’t think any woman likes a spineless man."
Lin Chen nodded: "Understood. Let’s go; I’ll help you recover your dignity today."
Xu Qingchuan’s eyes showed gratitude: "Brother Chen, thank you, but with you doing this, and the Wei Family..."
Lin Chen said with a laugh: "I can never resolve my grudge against the Wei Family, all debts are noted, another one doesn’t matter. Can’t hit the old, I’ll hit the young, just a bit of interest first..."
