ABCFWGR Chapter 114 Martial Arts Peak

 

"Is this what you wanted to talk to me about?" Gu Chen raised an eyebrow, surprised by her words.

Wu Anqi pursed her lips and nodded, her large watery eyes hiding complex emotions.

"Interesting!"

Gu Chen snorted coldly, "What do you take me for? A toy to be passed around between friends?"

A discerning person can always detect the scent of romance. If Gu Chen had been interested, there would have been plenty of women throwing themselves at him. However, he never treated relationships as playthings, which is why he pretended to be oblivious to the women around him.

Love is the most important emotion for humans and shouldn't be treated as a game.

Gu Chen was aware of Wu Anqi's feelings for him, and he had initially considered giving her a chance. But now, he dismissed that idea completely.

"No! That's not it! I..."

Wu Anqi was taken aback and hurriedly tried to explain, but Gu Chen cut her off, "Enough, I don't want to hear your explanations. Let's not talk about this anymore. Focus on your work, and don't meddle in things that aren't your concern."

"The fortunes of others are determined by fate. Chen Yuwei's affairs have nothing to do with me. I'm helping her out only because of Aunt Jiang's face."

With that, Gu Chen left the office with a cold expression, not sparing another glance at Wu Anqi.

"Gu Chen..."

Wu Anqi stood dumbfounded, murmuring Gu Chen's name repeatedly.

She had never seen Gu Chen treat her like this before, and she suddenly felt like she had lost something important. Her heart ached, and tears flowed down her cheeks, splashing on the ground.

She wanted to chase after him and explain, but as she reached the doorway, she stopped herself, "Gu Chen probably doesn't want to see me. I... can't let him hate me any more."

Wu Anqi hugged her knees, leaning against the door frame, tears streaming down her face.

She had only wanted to ease her best friend's unbearable pain by hoping Gu Chen could comfort her. She never expected to be shut out completely.

Does she regret it?

She regrets it so much it's eating her alive!

Outside the company building.

Just as Gu Chen was about to get into his car, someone called out to him from behind.

"Mr. Gu, long time no see!"

A figure approached from a distance.

Gu Chen looked over in response, seeing Lin Yuanbiao, one of Ou Ya's subordinates from the Bai Meng Chamber of Commerce, and asked, "How did you know I was here?"

"It's not difficult for our Bai Meng Chamber of Commerce to find someone." Lin Yuanbiao chuckled smugly, completely unaware of the impending danger.

"Bang!"

Gu Chen pressed his head against the car window with force.

"Crash!"

Glass shattered all over the ground.

Lin Yuanbiao was shocked, but he didn't dare to resist, saying in a choked voice, "Mr. Gu, what do you mean by this?"

"Go back and tell Ou Ya, and whoever is behind her, if they dare to keep track of my whereabouts, I don't mind paying a visit to the Bai Meng Chamber of Commerce." Gu Chen looked indifferently in a certain direction.

Behind the tinted windows of a dark-colored car, there was an old man with white hair.

As Gu Chen's gaze swept over, the old man's heart trembled, and he quickly crouched down, as if Gu Chen's sharp gaze could penetrate the car window and see into his soul.

"Get lost!"

Gu Chen withdrew his gaze, calmly uttering a word.

Lin Yuanbiao's mouth twitched, wanting to say something but ultimately didn't dare. He hurriedly left, not even bothering to clean the broken glass off his face.

Indeed, Lin Yuanbiao was at fault first, but he had also suffered an undeserved calamity.

If it weren't for Wu Anqi's matter, Gu Chen might not have been so angry, or at least wouldn't have acted so ruthlessly. But who asked him to be so unlucky as to come here now?

There was too much broken glass, and the car couldn't be driven. Gu Chen opened a ride-hailing app to call a car.

At this moment, the door of the Maybach opened.

The old man with white hair, accompanied by Lin Yuanbiao, walked briskly over.

"Mr. Gu, I'm truly sorry. It's our fault for not considering it carefully and disturbing your life." The old man apologized with a bow.

Gu Chen glanced at him unkindly, "Apologies are unnecessary. There's nothing more contemptible than apologies in this world. They try to erase all mistakes by just moving their lips. Isn't that too cheap, don't you think?"

The old man was taken aback, completely unexpected that Gu Chen would be so disrespectful. He forced a smile and said, "Mr. Gu is indeed insightful. It was my oversight."

Then, he turned to Lin Yuanbiao, "Yuanbiao, since you've made Mr. Gu's car like this, it's completely undriveable. Go, immediately arrange for the newest model to be sent to Mr. Gu's residence as a gesture of apology."

"Oh, and deduct the cost of the car from your salary!"

Lin Yuanbiao felt wronged. Not only did he get beaten up for nothing, but now he also had to fork out millions of dollars. Was there anyone more unlucky than him today?

But he didn't dare to refuse the family head's orders. With a grimace, he agreed, "Yes, I'll do it right away."

"Putting on a show for who?"

Gu Chen looked at the old man mockingly, "You know I'm not lacking in money, yet you still try to entice me with it. Is this your way of making friends?"

"Whether or not it's a method doesn't matter. What's important is for you to remember me."

The old man extended his hand, "Let me reintroduce myself. I am Ou Wan Cheng of the Ou family in the capital, and Ou Ya is my granddaughter."

He was also the current family head of the Ou family and one of the four executives of the Bai Meng Chamber of Commerce.

Gu Chen ignored his outstretched hand, staring coldly into his eyes, "No matter what your intentions are, I have no interest in getting to know you. And don't disturb me again, or you'll bear the consequences!"

Ou Wan Cheng didn't feel embarrassed. He withdrew his hand with a smile, "Mr. Gu has misunderstood. Neither the Ou family nor the Bai Meng Chamber of Commerce has any ill intentions towards you. We simply want to cooperate for mutual benefit."

"According to Ou Ya, you have a large number of Corpse Resurrection Pills in your possession. From what I've heard, you should have the formula and method for refining them. These Corpse Resurrection Pills, if sold by you at market price, would fetch a decent profit. But if we were to auction them through our auction house, your profits could increase at least fivefold!"

As he spoke, he rubbed his hands together, eager to get started.

There was a hint of ambition in his eyes.

Ou Wan Cheng had

 learned from Ou Ya that Gu Chen was a martial artist.

Any martial artist would crave rare treasures from heaven and earth; they were the only shortcut to martial arts advancement.

Looking across the entire Da Xia, the Bai Meng Chamber of Commerce's treasure trove had the most rare treasures from heaven and earth, more so than the national treasury.

This was an offer no martial artist could refuse.

"So, you've been waiting here for me. No wonder you're so confident. Unfortunately, I'm going to disappoint you." Gu Chen sneered disdainfully, turned around, and left without any hesitation.

Ou Wan Cheng was dumbfounded, unable to believe it, "How could he refuse? Doesn't he have ambitions? Doesn't he care about reaching the peak of martial arts?"

"No! Impossible!"

"There's not a single martial artist in this world who can resist the temptation of reaching the peak of martial arts. There must be some mistake in the intelligence somewhere!"
