Chapter 1096: Chapter 1098: Don’t Enter the Hotel, It’s an Ambush!

"Miss Oda is smart and beautiful, I feel assured entrusting this matter to you. Moreover, my judgment of people has always been accurate. I believe this time will be no exception."

Upon hearing this, Oda Yu immediately stood up and bowed to Chen Bin.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your trust. I am willing to work hard at your company."

"We haven’t even discussed salary yet, and you agreed so readily?"

"You can set the salary; I trust Mr. Chen won’t disappoint me either."

After bidding farewell to Oda Yu, Chen Bin returned to Chen Bang Headquarters.

After discussing with the core members, he allocated some funds to Oda Yu.

Oda Yu did not hesitate and immediately set up a company named ’Sincerity Investment.’

Meanwhile, in the time that passed, Zeng Guo maintained connections with a member of Hejia Gate.

In a bar, he was seen with Hejia Yong, arms around each other’s shoulders.

"Brother, how are things in Hejia Gate?"

With a bitter smile, Hejia Yong sighed slightly.

"Just so-so."

"The Sect Leader is your uncle; you’re working under him, surely things are going well?"

"To outsiders, it seems fine. But in truth, it’s just mediocre. No matter how close a nephew is, can he be compared to his children?"

"That’s true. Your uncle’s family is so harmonious, you as a nephew are considered an outsider."

Upon hearing this, Hejia Yong sneered repeatedly.

"Harmonious? Who said they are harmonious?"

Zeng Guo quickly asked, "I’ve heard their relationships are good, is the rumor mistaken?"

"My uncle is old and in poor health, so choosing a successor is a top priority. His three children all want to be the successor, they’re fighting fiercely behind the scenes, it’s just that outsiders don’t know."

"So that’s how it is..."

Only then did Zeng Guo realize that Hejia Gate was not as united as it appeared.

Picking up the bottle, he poured a drink for Hejia Yong.

"Who among the three siblings do you think has the best chance of becoming the successor?"

"The eldest brother is too timid, not the leader type. The second brother has some skills, but he’s too overbearing and disliked by everyone in Hejia Gate. The third sister is beautiful and capable, but unfortunately, she’s a woman, sigh..."

Hejia Yong didn’t spell it out, but his meaning was clear; he had high expectations for Hejia Meizi.

After finishing their drinks, Zeng Guo conducted a deeper investigation into Hejia Meizi.

He found out that her husband was in poor health and that Hejia Meizi occasionally sought out other men.

Upon learning this news, Chen Bin decided to take matters into his own hands.

After all, he was quite confident when dealing with women.

Finally, one night, he discovered the nightclub where Hejia Meizi was located.

When Chen Bin walked in, he saw Hejia Meizi sitting nearby, quietly admiring the men in the dance floor.

The corners of her mouth curved into a lovely arc, as if she were searching for prey.

Chen Bin realized that she didn’t seem like a woman nearing forty.

Her delicate appearance seemed to be no more than thirty.

Combined with her well-maintained looks, her face and figure were flawless.

Taking a deep breath, he picked up his wine glass and slowly walked towards Hejia Meizi.

However, before he could approach, he was stopped by a bodyguard.

Chen Bin had to shout loudly, "Miss Meizi!"

Hejia Meizi turned her head, her eyes brightening as she saw Chen Bin’s handsome face.

With a slight wave of her hand, the bodyguard allowed Chen Bin through.

When Chen Bin came up to her, Hejia Meizi found him vaguely familiar.

She took the initiative to ask, "You are..."

Chen Bin glanced at her deep cleavage and replied,

"I’m Chen Bin, teaching at West Capital University."

"Oh, so you’re the Chinese medicine expert?"

Chen Bin was fairly well-known in Japanese universities, but since Hejia Meizi wasn’t a student, she didn’t immediately recognize him.

"Yes, that’s me."

Nodding slightly, Hejia Meizi asked curiously,

"How do you know me?"

"I noticed Miss Meizi as soon as I walked in, and upon inquiring, found out your name. You’re so beautiful, I couldn’t resist wanting to come over and chat with you."

Hejia Meizi always had a weakness for handsome men, so she directly invited Chen Bin to sit down.

The two hadn’t been chatting long when the music in the hall suddenly became more soothing.

Chen Bin immediately put down his glass and stood up.

Like a gentleman, he slowly extended his hand to Hejia Meizi.

"May I ask Miss Meizi for a dance?"

Hejia Meizi had already considered Chen Bin as her prey.

Faced with his proactive invitation, she would naturally not refuse.

She placed her hand on Chen Bin’s hand and stood up slowly, moving to the dance floor together and holding each other close.

At first, they danced normally, but as their body language increased, they gradually moved closer together.

Faced with Chen Bin’s subtle moves, Hejia Meizi showed no intention of declining.

Instead, she closed her eyes, letting him have his way.

Chen Bin knew the saying, "Haste makes waste," so he didn’t plan to rush things.

Since the timing wasn’t ripe, he thought they might as well enjoy themselves more.

After this, their relationship gradually grew more familiar.

Until one evening, Chen Bin and Hejia Meizi were having a rendezvous at the West Capital Club when the phone on the table suddenly rang.

Upon seeing the caller, Hejia Meizi immediately chose to answer.

After hanging up, her expression turned very serious.

"Mr. Chen, I can’t stay with you; I have to leave now."

Chen Bin immediately asked, "Did something happen?"

"My father is sick and hospitalized; the situation is very critical."

"Can I accompany you? I’m worried about you walking around alone at night."

After hesitating for a moment, Hejia Meizi eventually nodded.

"Alright! But once we’re at the hospital, just stand by the side and don’t say anything."

"No problem!"

Arriving at the hospital, Chen Bin discovered a crowd outside the emergency room, including Hejia Yilang and Hejia Cilang.

He didn’t approach too closely, instead sitting a distance away on a chair.

Hejia Meizi quickly went forward to gather information.

Being too far away, Chen Bin couldn’t hear anything.

But judging by people’s expressions, it seemed that Hejia Hongta’s condition was quite serious.

After almost two hours, the doctor finally came out of the emergency room.

Those waiting outside hurriedly gathered around.

After the doctor said a few words, a nurse brought out Hejia Hongta’s hospital bed.

Seeing this, everyone immediately followed.

As they passed by Chen Bin, he reached out to hold Hejia Meizi.

He asked quietly, "Is your father alright?"

Shaking her head, Hejia Meizi’s expression was very heavy.

"He’s not awake yet, but it doesn’t sound optimistic. I’ll be staying here tonight; you’d better go back first. We’ll meet again when we have time."

Chen Bin understood she was considering matters related to the struggle for sect leadership.

Without thinking much, he agreed directly.

In the ensuing days, Hejia Meizi didn’t contact Chen Bin.

Although Chen Bin didn’t appear at the hospital, he had already arranged for Chen Bang’s informants.

He would receive updates as soon as there was any news about Hejia Hongta.

After the Hejia’s three siblings had been at the hospital for several days, Hejia Hongta ultimately did not wake up.

After his passing, Hejia Cilang arranged for Hejia Yilang and Hejia Meizi to go to the nearby Hejia Hotel under the pretext of discussing funeral arrangements.

As Hejia Meizi drove to the hotel doorstep, the phone rang suddenly.

She connected the call, hearing Chen Bin’s urgent voice.

"Don’t go into the hotel, there’s an ambush inside, it’s very dangerous. Come to the West Capital Club to find me immediately!"
