What?
Sleep with her in his arms?
Chen Che was dumbfounded. He did not expect Lin Xi to say this. Happiness came too suddenly!
Seeing that Chen Che did not respond in time, Lin Xi bit her lip. “What’s wrong? Are you unwilling?”
!!
“Yes, of course I’m willing! Come over!” Chen Che hurriedly said and gave up half the bed.
The goddess had taken the initiative to throw herself at him. How could he reject her?
When Lin Xi heard this, she got onto the bed awkwardly and leaned against Chen Che’s chest with a red face.
The goddess was right in front of him. The temperature of her body and the fragrance of her hair made one’s imagination run wild.
She looked down and saw that Lin Xi’s pajamas were loose. That charming scenery was faintly discernible!
This made Chen Che even hotter. He wished he could immediately press Lin Xi down and show her all kinds of moves.
However, Chen Che knew that now was not the time. Besides, Lin Xi did not have this thought at this moment.
Although Lin Xi would not reject him forcefully, he felt that it was a little lacking.
“Chen Che, calm down!” Chen Che persuaded himself and hurriedly looked away. Only then did the heat gradually subside.
Just as Chen Che was struggling, Lin Xi was already snoring evenly.
She was too tired and felt very safe leaning against Chen Che, so she slept especially soundly.
Seeing the sweet smile on Lin Xi’s lips, Chen Che also smiled and fell asleep unknowingly.
…
At ten in the morning, just as Chen Che and Lin Xi were sleeping soundly, a phone ring woke them up.
“Hello.” Lin Xi hurriedly picked up the call.
“Hello, Madam Lin. This is the Patrol Division. Lu Wentian’s lawyer is here. He hopes to reach a settlement with you. Come over with Mr. Chen.”
“Okay, we’ll be right there.”
Lin Xi hung up the phone and immediately got up to wash up.
Half an hour later, Chen Che and Lin Xi arrived at the Patrol Division. They saw a man in a suit and leather shoes with greasy hair at the door.
Chen Che held Lin Xi’s hand and walked over. The man introduced himself first. “My name is Fan Tong. I’ve been entrusted by the Lu family to discuss the settlement with you. Let’s go to the next door cafe to talk.”
Fan Tong sized up Chen Che with disdain.
“Don’t worry, you don’t have to spend money.”
Chen Che looked indifferent. It was fine as long as he did not need to spend money. It did not matter where they chatted.
The few of them entered the cafe together and found a corner to sit down. They followed the VJ and set up a machine at the scene.
Before Chen Che could speak, Fan Tong said arrogantly, “You also know that the Lu family is powerful and influential. They can be considered a wealthy family in the provincial city, and you’re just a courier. There’s no benefit in going against the Lu family.”
“We’ll give you a sum of money. After you receive the money and sign the letter of understanding, this matter will be over.”
Chen Che looked at the other party’s pompous attitude and felt disgusted.
However, what Good-for-Nothing Lawyer said made sense. With his current strength, he could not defeat the Lu family at all.
If they really fell out, it would be harming himself.
Moreover, he had the system. It was actually not bad for the other party to pay.
“How much can you give me?” Chen Che asked.
“How about $100,000? You should be very satisfied with this number, right?”
The corners of Fan Tong’s mouth curled up. In his opinion, with Chen Che’s poor appearance, he would definitely not reject this $100,000.
However, just as Fan Tong was thinking this, Chen Che pursed his lips. “$100,000? Are you sending a beggar away?”
Fan Tong was stunned on the spot. He did not expect Chen Che to reject him. He thought to himself that Chen Che was trying to extort him, right?
In fact, Chen Che just wanted to take the opportunity to ask for more. Who asked the other party to put on such a smelly attitude?
After a brief silence, Fan Tong unhappily said, “Kid, how much do you want? I’ve already given you enough face by calmly discussing with you. Don’t fail to appreciate my kindness.”
“Besides, these are all superficial wounds. $100,000 is already very benevolent. You won’t be able to earn this money in a year even if you work at a lousy express delivery company!”
When Chen Che heard this, he quickly thought of something and said, “Good-For-Nothing Lawyer, from what you’re saying, are you looking down on delivery and low-level employees?”
With that, Chen Che deliberately glanced at the camera.
Fan Tong instantly understood. He knew that Chen Che was clearly trying to trick him. If he said that he looked down on him, wouldn’t the live-stream explode?
Although the Lu family was rich and powerful, they could not withstand the pressure of public opinion.
“Rascal.” Fan Tong cursed in his heart, then hurriedly said, “I’m not looking down on the low-level employees. Don’t twist my meaning.”
“Alright, I don’t want to talk nonsense with you. Then tell me, how much do you want? I advise you not to ask for too much.”
Fan Tong’s triangular eyes glared fiercely. If not for the camera, he would have cursed long ago.
Seeing the other party compromise, Chen Che revealed a smug smile and extended two fingers. “200,000.”
Fan Tong’s expression was dark. $200,000 was nothing to the Lu family, but Chen Che’s appearance really angered him.
Even though he was unwilling, in order to save Lu Wentian, Fan Tong finally nodded in agreement.
“Alright, $200,000 it is. Come with me to sign the letter of understanding now!”
The live-stream stirred up another wave of excitement.
[I support Old Scrooge Chen. Who asked Lu Wentian to find someone to beat him up first? There’s nothing wrong with asking for an extra $100,000!]
[I think $200,000 is too little. If I were him, I would want $2 million!]
[That’s right. The Lu family is so rich. How can they only offer $100,000?]
Chen Che felt that $200,000 was not a small sum. After all, if it was placed in the system, it would be 2 billion.
Moreover, the Lu family was not to be trifled with. If he really asked for an exorbitant price and forced the Lu family into a corner, who knew what they would do?
It would be bad if he implicated Lin Xi again.
When the funds arrived, Chen Che looked at the additional figures in his account and smiled in satisfaction. He signed the letter of understanding.
Not long after, Lu Wentian was released.
In just one night, the originally bright Young Master Lu was already unshaven and his eyes were dark. He looked very pathetic.
Lu Wentian glared fiercely at Chen Che. When he passed by him, he lowered his voice and said, “Chen Che, I won’t let you off. Just wait and see!”
The VJ did not record Lu Wentian’s words, but the netizens in the live-stream were resourceful and could roughly guess what he meant through lip-reading.
Chen Che’s expression did not change. As if he did not hear anything, he pulled Lin Xi away.
On the way back, Lin Xi’s face was filled with worry.
“The matter has been resolved and I still got $200,000. Why aren’t you happy?” Chen Che asked.
Lin Xi sighed. “Lu Wentian won’t let this go. He’s the young master of the Lu family. We can’t beat him.”
Lu Wentian’s fierce appearance before he left made Lin Xi very uneasy.
“I’ll deal with whatever comes my way. Although I’m not very capable, I’ll definitely protect you.”
“Don’t be unhappy. Smile!”
Chen Che placed his finger on the corner of Lin Xi’s lips and made a smiling expression.
Lin Xi held Chen Che’s hand and smiled happily.
“I’m on leave tomorrow. Why don’t we go and relax!” Chen Che suggested.
Although earning money was very important, accompanying Lin Xi was more important.
Ever since the two of them established their relationship, he had even gone out to play with Lin Xi. He could take this opportunity to relax.
