Chapter 485 The Commercial Street Catches Fire
"Ah Le, why don't you bring a few more bodyguards?"
Zhang Zihao looked at Chen Le and said with some concern.
He had witnessed Bai Zhi's skills and knew her strength. With Bai Zhi by Chen Le's side, he felt much more at ease.
But the Xiang family was too arrogant, and he was worried that Chen Le might encounter some danger.
Chen Le shook his head and looked at Zhang Zihao, saying:
"Brother Hao, it's okay. With Bai Zhi here, I'll be fine."
Hearing Chen Le's words, Zhang Zihao knew Bai Zhi's abilities, but after all, one man can't fight against many.
There's nothing wrong with having a few more bodyguards.
But before Zhang Zihao could speak, Chu Yaoyang spoke first.
"How about this, Brother Hao, I'll bring some men and follow Brother Le these next few days, that way it'll be safer."
Upon hearing Chu Yaoyang's words, Chen Le instinctively wanted to refuse, but looking at Chu Yaoyang's determined expression, he opened his mouth but ultimately couldn't bring himself to say it.
"Okay, I'll bother you then."
Chen Le looked at Chu Yaoyang and said with some helplessness.
He knew in his heart that Chu Yaoyang meant well, and the Xiang family was indeed a considerable problem. With Chu Yaoyang around, he could feel more at ease.
Chu Yaoyang patted his chest and said confidently:
"Brother Le, don't worry, with me here, I will never let anyone hurt you."
Hearing Chu Yaoyang's words, Chen Le smiled and nodded, without saying anything more.
Although some unpleasant things happened, they were just minor incidents for Chen Le and did not affect his mood.
"Ah Le, you just got back and you must be tired. Let me take you back to rest first."
Zhang Zihao looked at Chen Le and said with concern.
Upon hearing this, Chen Le nodded and followed Zhang Zihao into the Rolls-Royce that was already waiting nearby. Escorted by Chu Yaoyang, they headed towards the hotel.
Zhang Zihao spared no expense during this trip to Hong Kong, booking the best hotel in the city so that Chen Le could get a good rest.
Although it's the best hotel, the rooms aren't actually that big because of the high cost of land in Hong Kong. However, it's enough for Chen Le.
"Ah Le, you should rest for a bit. I'll treat you to a welcome-back dinner tonight."
Zhang Zihao looked at Chen Le and said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Chen Le did not refuse, nodded, and went straight back to his room to rest.
He still has a lot to do in the port city and needs to be well-rested to face the challenges ahead.
And on the other side.
After the men returned, they immediately told Xiang Xiatian about their encounter with Chen Le.
"Young Master Xiang, we originally wanted to bring him back, but we didn't expect that the kid had a woman with him. She's very good at fighting, and the brothers are no match for her..."
Several men looked at Xiang Xiatian and said with bitter expressions.
They were all capable henchmen under Xiang Xiatian, and had done a lot for him, but never before had they been as disheveled as they were today.
Upon hearing their words, Xiang Xiatian's face immediately darkened, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and he said in a chilling voice:
"You mean, the dignified Xiang family, has to wait for Chen Le to have time?"
Upon hearing Xiang Xiatian's words, the men couldn't help but shudder and quickly shook their heads.
They knew in their hearts that Xiang Xiatian was really angry. This was understandable, given the status of the Xiang family.
In the entire port city, the Xiang family is one of the top families, and Xiang Xiatian is the most outstanding young generation in the Xiang family. Wherever he goes, he is the center of attention.
But now, they can't even deal with a little Chen Le. How could Xiang Xiatian not be angry?
Several people were at a loss for words when Xia Tian asked them a question, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to look at Xia Tian.
Seeing this, Xiang Xiatian became even angrier. He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger, and paced back and forth in the room, seemingly deep in thought.
After a long while, Xiang Xiatian finally stopped, looked at the men in front of him, and said coldly:
"Doesn't Chen Le think he's so great? I'll see if he can escape the Xiang family's methods!"
Xiang Xiatian knew in her heart that Chen Le was no ordinary person, and that she could not deal with him using ordinary methods.
Therefore, he planned to use some special methods to deal with Chen Le!
Thinking of this, Xiang Xiatian immediately took out her phone, dialed a number, quickly said something to the person on the other end of the line, and then hung up.
After doing all this, Xiang Xiatian sat back down on the sofa, crossed his legs, a cold smile on his face, and muttered to himself:
"Chen Le, Chen Le, aren't you so arrogant? I'll see how long you can stay arrogant!"
While Xiang Xiatian was making threats, Chen Le was resting in his hotel room.
He had planned to rest early and go see Old Li tomorrow. With Old Li's help, he would have the confidence to fight against the Xiang family.
But at that moment, a cell phone rang urgently.
Chen Le frowned, picked up his phone, and saw that it was a call from Zhang Zihao.
"Brother Hao, what's wrong?"
Chen Le answered the phone and asked.
"Ah Le, something terrible has happened! There's a fire on the commercial street!"
On the other end of the phone, Zhang Zihao's voice sounded somewhat anxious.
"What? There's a fire?"
Upon hearing Zhang Zihao's words, Chen Le's expression changed drastically. He sat up abruptly from the bed and asked incredulously.
You should know that commercial street is one of Chen Le's most important businesses. As long as it's open, it will bring him a considerable income every year.
But now, a fire has suddenly broken out, which is a huge blow to Chen Le, who has not yet established himself in Hong Kong!
"That's right, Ah Le, come over here right now."
Zhang Zihao's voice rang out again, his tone tinged with urgency.
Upon hearing this, Chen Le didn't say anything more. After hanging up the phone, he immediately got up and walked outside.
Why did this fire have to start at this particular time?
A few minutes later, Chen Le got into the Rolls-Royce that was already waiting outside and sped off towards the commercial street.
……
A dozen minutes later, Chen Le arrived near the commercial street, but before he could even get out of the car, he could see from afar that the commercial street was already engulfed in flames.
The raging fire almost turned half the sky red, and even from a distance, Chen Le could smell the pungent smoke in the air.
Upon seeing this, Chen Le's expression immediately turned even more unpleasant.
"Ah Le, over here!"
Just then, a shout rang in Chen Le's ears. Chen Le turned his head and saw Zhang Zihao waving at him with a look of anxiety on his face.
Upon seeing this, Chen Le immediately walked over quickly.
"Brother Hao, how's the situation now?"
Chen Le looked at Zhang Zihao and asked.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zihao gave a wry smile, pointed to the sea of fire not far away, and said with some helplessness:
"As you can see, the fire is too big. Although the fire brigade has arrived, it will probably take some time to put it out."
Upon hearing Zhang Zihao's words, Chen Le couldn't help but frown. He turned his head again to look at the commercial street that was burning fiercely, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
