"Brother Kun, this kid is brutal! Should we get more guys to take him down together later?"
The pickpocket who was discovered by Lin Chen said.
He was one of the two people who were struck by a palm strike, and the spot where he was hit now felt burning pain.
Brother Kun was the other person who was struck. He touched his wound: "If he can make us like this with one palm strike, how many people are you planning to find, and how much are you going to pay each one?"
"How much medical expense will we pay if they get injured? Even if we win, can we beat him if we're alone in the future?"
"You idiot, don't be stupid. Are we people he can afford to offend?"
The man who had boxed with Lin Chen trembled as he spoke: "He held back. If he used his fists, Brother Kun, your bones would likely have been broken by him."
Brother Kun nodded.
"We'll avoid him from now on."
Back in the Residential Complex, Xu Mengyao breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Chen was amazing, but she didn't want Lin Chen fighting. If he lost, he'd end up in the hospital. If he won, he might end up in jail.
"Mengyao, you were scared, weren't you?"
"Our local customs are a bit rough, and the public order here isn't as good as in Magic City."
"But today was a special situation. The public order has actually improved a lot in recent years," Lin Chen comforted her.
Xu Mengyao: "I'm fine... You went to high school here, right?"
"Yeah."
"The security back then was worse than it is now. But it's still much better than a dozen years ago. There used to be a lot of hooligans and thugs, now there are only a few scattered around."
"It's rare to run into something like this today, don't worry too much."
Lin Chen said.
Xu Mengyao: "Lin Chen, since we're here, we might as well do something. I'll take a look around and see if there's anything I could invest in here."
Lin Chen looked at Xu Mengyao and chuckled, "Mengyao, you're afraid your father-in-law and mother-in-law will be bullied, so you want to develop some connections here."
"No... that's not it."
"Don't talk nonsense."
Xu Mengyao's face was slightly red. "I'm just doing some research. I'll invest if it's suitable, and if not, I won't."
Lin Chen said, "Then, wife, be careful. Don't let them accuse you of using your position for personal gain."
Xu Mengyao said, "Our Xu family controls fifty-one percent of the company's shares. We still have this decision-making power."
"Mm."
Lin Chen nodded.
He didn't understand much about business, and the Xu family's money was theirs. He wouldn't interfere.
"Dad, Mom."
The two of them arrived home, and Lin Xiaoxi happily ran over.
Xu Mengyao's heart skipped a beat.
Lin Xiaoxi hasn't said anything to Chen Mei and the others, has she?
"Mengyao, Xiaoxi's painting is amazing now! The last time we came, it wasn't nearly this good."
Chen Mei was full of praise.
Xu Mengyao said, "She should have inherited Lin Chen's talent for painting. Also, Lin Chen teaches her well."
"Mengyao, come and look. This is what Xiaoxi just painted."
Xu Mengyao walked over.
Seeing the painting, Xu Mengyao was also stunned.
Could a child just over two years old really have drawn this?
She hadn't gone to see Lin Chen for several days because she'd been busy. Lin Chen's painting had reached legendary levels, and Lin Xiaoxi had also been carried along, her painting talent already at the world's top level.
"Lin Chen, what's going on?"
Xu Mengyao looked at Lin Chen with some disbelief.
"Mengyao, is there a problem?"
Lin Hai asked.
Xu Mengyao: "Xiaoxi used to draw well, but this one is much better than the ones I've seen her draw before."
Lin Chen chuckled, "Xiaoxi is very perceptive. Maybe she's just had a breakthrough. You wouldn't understand the world of a genius."
Lin Xiaoxi's artistic talent used to be in the sixty-point range, but now it was in the nineties. It wasn't even the same level anymore.
Xu Mengyao carefully examined the painting.
She exclaimed, "Lin Chen, with Xiaoxi's incredible talent, if she develops well, could she become one of the world's top painters?"
Lin Chen shook his head.
Xu Mengyao was disappointed, "She can't?"
Lin Chen replied, "The absolute top is impossible. As long as her dad is alive, she'll be second best in the world at most."
Xu Mengyao: "..."
"Hehe, Daddy is the best."
Lin Xiaoxi said sweetly, "Mom is the happiest."
Xu Mengyao squatted down and asked,
"Xiaoxi, why is Mom the happiest?"
Lin Xiaoxi replied, "Because Mom has me and Dad."
Chen Mei and Lin Hai exchanged knowing smiles.
Xu Mengyao's face turned slightly red.
Now, it wasn't just their family of three here.
"You and Dad are described as smart, and I'm happy. For a moment, I don't know whether to be happy or not."
Xu Mengyao playfully pinched Lin Xiaoxi's nose.
"Mengyao, you're lucky to be so naive."
Lin Chen said with a laugh from the side.
Xu Mengyao's beautiful eyes gave Lin Chen a look: "Lin Chen, aren't you going to cook? It's okay if we're hungry, but Uncle Lin is injured, he needs to eat well and recover."
An hour later, Lin Chen had prepared the meal.
"Hmm?"
Lin Hai and Chen Mei were stunned as they tasted the dishes.
The last time they went to Lin Chen's place, the dishes he made were already delicious. This time, they were even more delicious than before.
They quickly tasted the other dishes.
The flavor of each dish was much better than before.
"Son, what's going on?"
"Why are the dishes you make so much more delicious than before?"
Chen Mei said in disbelief.
Lin Chen looked at Lin Xiaoxi: "Because of Xiaoxi."
It was because of Lin Xiaoxi that he could awaken the system and continuously gain experience.
But Chen Mei and the others didn't hear it that way. In their eyes, Lin Chen was doing it to make Lin Xiaoxi eat better.
"Daddy's cooking is the best!"
"Daddy, I want to give you a kiss."
Lin Xiaoxi said cutely.
"Xixi, your mouth is all greasy. Wipe your mouth after you finish eating, and then you can kiss Daddy later."
Xu Mengyao said.
Lin Xiaoxi looked at Xu Mengyao: "Mommy, you haven't eaten yet. Can you kiss Daddy for me?"
Xu Mengyao: "..."
She grumbled inwardly, why did she have to say anything.
"Mom is already eating."
Xu Mengyao quickly picked up some food and took a bite.
Lin Xiaoxi blinked: "Mom, after you finish eating, can you kiss Dad for me?"
Xu Mengyao: "You kiss him yourself after you finish eating."
After finishing her meal, Xu Mengyao quickly made her escape.
Chen Mei: "Son, does the Xu family also have business here?"
She helped Lin Chen clean up in the kitchen.
Lin Chen shook his head.
"We ran into three Hooligans/Thugs while buying groceries. Mengyao is probably worried about you guys running into trouble in the future, and us being unable to help, so she's investing here to build some connections."
"But whether it works out depends on whether there are suitable projects."
Chen Mei's expression changed: "Are you guys okay?"
"We're fine."
Lin Chen shook his head, "I taught myself Martial Arts. Forget three or five, even ten or eight Hooligans/Thugs wouldn't be my match."
Surprise flashed in Chen Mei's eyes.
Her son actually knew Martial Arts.
"Son, if Mengyao wants to invest here, can you guys stay for a few more days?"
Chen Mei asked, "..."
Lin Chen replied, "Xiaoxi and I can stay for a week. The property transfer will also take about a week. It's hard to say with Mengyao; something might come up at her company at any time."
"Even if she invests in our county, it's just a small deal compared to the big business of her company."
