Chapter 846 - Chen Xincheng

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Inside a luxurious in the heart of Imperial, Lin Hui stood his ground as he stares at the man holding Qin Xue. He takes a few steps forward and closes the distance between them.

"You look like you're from a prominent family. Is this the way you were raised?"

His eyes lowered down to Qin Xue's wrist, and he frowns. The man's grip on her was so tight that one could see redness.

"I guess this is the way you were raised."

He looks at the man, then at Qin Xue. Even without asking, he could see she was in pain.

"Miss, please close your eyes. I don't want a beautiful lady such as yourself to see what I'm going to do next."

Qin Xue gazed at Lin Hui before nodding her head. She inhales a deep breath then closes her eyes.

She doesn't know who Lin Hui is but the way he spoke made her feel at ease. It was enough for her to put her trust in him.

Lin Hui was taken aback at how cooperative Qin Xue was with him. He thought she would at least doubt him since he was a stranger.

However, noticing her ever so slightly trembling shoulders, he sighs a smile.

"Don't worry, Miss. everything will be over."

"I suggest you let her go unless you want someone like me to teach you a lesson."

The man was beyond dumbfounded by Qin Xue's obedience towards a stranger. His jaw clenches tighter, and he drags her behind him.

"Get lost! Our business isn't yours."

"Tsk, tsk."

Lin Hui clicks his tongue at the man's words. The second the man pulls Qin Xue, he reacted faster.

His right arm raises, and he grabs the man's neck. At the same time, his left hand held onto the man's hand, gripping Qin Xue.

"Ugh-!"

In one swift move, he frees Qin Xue and slams the man onto the hard floor. He kneels on the man's back and twists the hand he held behind the back.

"Hm... That's odd. For someone who sounds so threatening, you're so weak."

"Get off me!!"

The man's face turned red from humiliation at how easy Lin Hui took him down. He struggles with all his strength, but to no avail did he free himself.

"Bastard! You're going to pay for this!"

Lin Hui showed no signs of moving despite the man's constant struggle. He stares at the piece of human under his knee then turns his head to Liu Ye.

Of course, he didn't forget to knock the man unconscious first.

"Inform the manager about the situation."

Liu Ye was in shock by Lin Hui's swift movements but quickly came to his senses. He wastes no time and darts away to look for the restaurant's manager.

However, as he ran away to find help, he couldn't help but wonder if Lin Hui will teach him how to defend himself too.

Watching the boy disappear around the corner, Lin Hui takes out his phone and dials a number.

The call rang twice before it was connected. However, he doesn't wait for the other person to answer and spoke first.

"This is Lin Hui. I ran into a small situation and required your help. I'll send you my location."

Without waiting for a response, he ends the call and sends the location of the restaurant.

As he puts his phone away, he looks around for something. His eyes landed on Qin Xue's purse, and he smiles at her, seeing that her eyes were still closed.

"Miss, you can open your eyes now. But if you don't mind, may I use the strap of your handbag."

Qin Xue slowly opens her eyes, but her eyes widen at the scene in front of her. When and how did the man end up on the ground?

"Miss? Are you alright? You are no longer in danger."

Lin Hui tries to coax Qin Xue upon seeing her in a dazed. He doesn't know how much she saw but judging from her expression, she must have kept her eyes closed.

"I know what happened might have been surprising, but please don't go into shock."

When Qin Xue heard Lin Hui's voice, she came back to her senses. She sighs in relief when she saw that the man was no longer a threat to her.

However, remembering Lin Hui's words when her eyes were closed, she looks down at her purse and removes the strap.

"Ah, I'm sorry."

She hands the strap to Lin Hui and takes a step back. She doesn't know why he needs it, but he is her savior, so that she will comply.

Lin Hui notices her slightly shaking hands but decides not to mention it. Right now, he needs to take care of the situation.

He takes the strap and grabs the man's other hand behind his back. He then wraps the strap around the man's wrist and secures his (the man) hands together.

Once he was sure the man won't be able to escape, did he stand up.

Qin Xue stares at Lin Hui's every move with amazement. From her standing point, he looked like a police officer catching a criminal in the act.

The moment Lin Hui stood up, the sound of footsteps echoes around them.

Liu Ye had returned with the manager and a few employees.

"W-What happened here?"

The manager gasped in horror at the situation. He couldn't believe that such a scene had taken place in his restaurant and he was unaware of it.

He looks at Lin Hui, then down at the man tied like a criminal. When he saw the man's face, he turned as pale as a ghost.

"Good grief! Is that Mr. Chen?! Why is he on the floor?!"

Lin Hui heard the name and looked down at the man. His eyebrows wrinkle together, and he pursed his lips.

"So, this is Mr. Chen."

Now that he's taken a better look, he finally recognizes the man. His mouth raises, and a dangerous glint of light flashed in his eyes.

'Chen Xincheng. Chen Yifeng and Chen Limei's cousin.'

He thought to himself and wanted to laugh. It was no wonder the man acted the way he did and was able to threaten such words.

Just like Chen Limei's behavior, Chen Xincheng is the spitting image of her. He is always thinking highly of himself and belittles anyone when things don't go his way.

Ending his thoughts, he looks at the manager while pointing at Chen Xincheng.

"I apologize for what happened here. He was causing a scene that I could not turn a blind eye towards."

The manager slowly looks at Lin Hui, and his mouth opens and closed like a fish on land. He wanted to speak, but it was as if all the words he knew had disappeared.

After what felt like an entire day had passed, he finally found his voice again.

He looks Lin Hui in the eyes, and his trembling finger points at him.

"Y-you... Do you have any idea who this person is? H-how can you cause trouble here?"
