78: Chapter 78 Open the door! Water meter check!

Jiangcheng, Longsheng International Hotel.

Chen Yichuan looked up at the magnificent lobby before him: "Tsk, this Chen Qingquan really knows how to enjoy himself. Coming to an international hotel to learn a foreign language, heh... interesting."

He had just stepped into the lobby.

"Sir, do you have an appointment?" A security guard acting as a receptionist walked up, looking at Chen Yichuan with disdain.

Actually, one couldn't blame the security guard.

It was just that Chen Yichuan's clothes were a bit shabby, and one could tell at a glance that he couldn't afford to be there.

However.

Hearing the guard's inquiry, Chen Yichuan didn't even lift his head: "No appointment, but I have this... This should let me in, right?"

Click.

Chen Yichuan pulled a handgun from his waist and cocked it.

Gulp.

Seeing this, the security guard swallowed hard, his face full of fear, his back instantly drenched in sweat: "O-o-okay, sir, please, go right ahead."

Heh.

Seeing the security guard's 180-degree turn, Chen Yichuan chuckled.

"Heh, buddy, you've got a good eye. Take me to Room 1314. Don't worry, I'm not a gangster."

"I'm an official!" Patting the guard on the shoulder, Chen Yichuan gave him a reassuring look.

But it almost made the guard collapse; his body went limp.

Good grief.

The guard was speechless: "Official? What kind of official goes around threatening people with a gun? Forget it. How much is my monthly salary? Security guard? I'm not guarding anything for this pay."

Afterwards.

The guard very sensibly led Chen Yichuan up.

Room 1314.

Knock, knock, knock.

Chen Yichuan knocked on the door rhythmically.

"Open up!"

"Checking the water meter!"

Knock, knock, knock.

However, there was no movement inside.

"Uhh, good sir!"

"Hm?" Chen Yichuan glared at the guard.

"No, no, Officer, how about I go down and get the key?" Realizing he had said the wrong thing, the guard shrank his head and quickly corrected himself.

"Key? Not necessary."

The next second.

Bang!

Chen Yichuan kicked the door open with such force that even the surrounding walls cracked slightly.

Looking at the kicked-open door.

The guard stood stunned in place, staring blankly at Chen Yichuan in disbelief.

It was as if he was saying, "Is this even human?"

However.

Chen Yichuan ignored him and walked straight toward the suite. After a few steps, the sounds of women could be heard from inside.

"A, B, C, D, E, F, G."

It seemed they were learning a foreign language.

Bang!!

Chen Yichuan didn't hesitate and kicked the suite door open.

"Ah!!"

"Who are you? Don't you know I'm learning a foreign language?? Get out!!"

The next instant.

Two voices rang out instantly, accompanied by two figures tightly wrapped in blankets.

"Heh, Director Chen, Chen Qingquan. Are you sure you're learning a foreign language??"

"This foreign language is good. One must learn foreign languages." Chen Yichuan glanced at the woman with wavy hair, a foreign girl, and chuckled sheepishly.

"What department are you from!! Careful, or I'll sue you for slander! I..."

Chen Qingquan didn't finish his sentence.

A pitch-black gun barrel was pointed at his head.

Immediately.

Chen Qingquan broke into a cold sweat, his heart racing: "Are you from the Municipal Bureau or the Disciplinary Inspection Commission? I'll confess, I'll confess everything!!"

"Ah! A gun!!"

Seeing the handgun, the foreign woman was instantly terrified and lost her wits. She dropped the blanket and ran out in a state of undress.

Chen Yichuan didn't stop her, just gave a slight glance.

But it was a real treat for the security guard, his eyes bloodshot.

Back to the point.

"Ahem, Director Chen... you should know Li Xunhuan, right? The underground emperor of Xiangjiang."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingquan nodded mechanically: "That's right, I know him... Little brother, let me tell you, I'm best buddies with your Boss Li, we..."

Bang!

Before Chen Qingquan could finish, the only response he got was a gunshot.

A hole through his forehead, he fell straight onto the bed.

"You know him? Then there's no problem." Chen Yichuan put away his handgun and smiled faintly.

You have to admit.

Guns are much more convenient than martial arts. One shot, and even your parents would agree.

"He... he killed someone. This... this," the security guard standing to the side trembled, looking at Chen Yichuan with a face full of terror.

He kept backing away, afraid that if Chen Yichuan was unhappy, he'd shoot him too.

"Done, job finished!"

"Buddy, call the police. I'll just wait here." Chen Yichuan sat calmly on the sofa, even taking an interest in peeling an apple.

Call the police?

The security guard was stunned. After confirming several times, he finally reacted.

Ten-plus minutes later.

The guard saw the Public Security Bureau leaders respectfully seeing Chen Yichuan off, and only then did he wake up as if from a dream.

"So, everything he said was true. He really is an official!"

...

The next day.

Chen Yichuan had a good night's sleep and woke up in the afternoon.

Suddenly.

A call came in, from an unknown number.

Chen Yichuan was stunned but answered: "Hello? Who is this?"

"Haha, Yichuan, did I disturb you? It's me, Qian Su, from the Sanjiang Escort Agency, Head Escort Qian. Remember me?"

Hearing the voice on the phone.

Chen Yichuan opened his eyes wide, his lazy expression vanishing. He then smiled softly: "Ah, so it's Head Escort Qian. To what do I owe the call?"

"I wouldn't dare offer advice. You've recently made quite a splash among the high-level circles in Xia Nation. My boss, Young Master Gu from the Gu family of Dongshan Prefecture, wants to meet you. Are you interested?"

"By the way, we are already downstairs at your place."

On the other end of the line, Head Escort Qian added with a laugh.

"Heh, you're already here? Can I say no? Wait for me!!" Chen Yichuan shook his head with a smile, tidied up a bit, and turned to head downstairs.

...

Inside the private room.

Chen Yichuan just walked in.

Qian Su, wearing a white Hanfu, smiled and walked up to greet him: "Haha, Yichuan, you finally arrived. Come, sit, sit."

Hm?

Seeing such a hospitable Head Escort Qian, to be honest, Chen Yichuan was a little uncomfortable.

Just after sitting down.

Head Escort Qian hurriedly introduced the young man beside him.

"Yichuan, let me introduce you—this is my boss, Gu Qingshan, a Second-rank Martial Artist. At the same time, he is also a captain of the Special Operations Division in the North China Region!!"

The young man had an upright appearance and smiled faintly at Chen Yichuan, giving off a very warm feeling.

Gu Qingshan.

The name sounded familiar to Chen Yichuan, but... what was this about a captain in the North China Region?

He just wanted to ask.

Gu Qingshan raised his hand and smiled: "Chen Yichuan, nice to meet you... As for those titles like captain or person-in-charge, someone will explain them to you in detail later."

"The reason I came today is to invite you to go to Fengmen Village together to deal with the Monster invasion incident."

"Of course, headquarters adheres to the principle of voluntary participation." As he spoke, Gu Qingshan added another sentence.

Raising the cup in his hand, Gu Qingshan looked at Chen Yichuan with a smile, waiting for a response.

Upon hearing this.

Chen Yichuan frowned slightly.

Fengmen Village.

He had heard of this village. Legend had it that supernatural events often occurred there. As for whether there were ghosts, that was another matter.

"Monster invasion? Can I take a look first before deciding?"

Mobilizing a Second-rank Martial Artist—this matter definitely wouldn't be small.

"Certainly."
