"I'm not going, I don't have the time!"

Xu Nuo said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chaowen immediately got excited, covered his face, and said, "Officer, look at how arrogant this woman is. She doesn't even listen to you. I suggest you arrest her right away. I suspect she's involved in prostitution."

As soon as Xu Nuo heard this,

she became even more furious.

Pointing at Jiang Chaowen, she scolded, "What did you say? Say it again if you dare, and see if I don't slap you!"

After saying this,

she tried to charge at Jiang Chaowen again.

"Police officer, catch her, catch her! She even dares to hit people in front of you, she's definitely no good," he continued relentlessly.

Seeing that Jiang Chaowen was still going on and on,

Chen Fang stepped forward and said with annoyance, "Dude, spare others when you can, don't escalate the matter. Otherwise, you're not going to like the outcome."

"Who the hell are you to talk? I'm a lawyer, and I'm not afraid of her. I'm going to have her thrown in jail today."

Unexpectedly, Chen Fang's kind persuasions did nothing to mollify Jiang Chaowen.

Chen Fang, helpless,

could only stand to the side, sullen.

By this time, Xu Nuo had finished her phone call.

She pointed at Jiang Chaowen and said, "You want to play, huh? Fine, I'll play with you. I can't wait to see you crying and wailing to me in a bit."

"You think I'm afraid of you? Come on, if you dare, bite me right in front of the cops," he said provocatively from behind the police officers.

Just then,

one of the policemen's phone rang.

He walked away to take the call, and it was about two minutes or so.

The police officer came back.

He whispered a few words to another officer.

That officer immediately looked panicked.

He turned to Xu Nuo and said, "Ma'am, you can go now."

Jiang Chaowen, on hearing this, was not having it.

He pointed at Xu Nuo and yelled, "How can you let her go? She just slapped me and everyone here saw it."

The police officer turned to Jiang Chaowen and said, "Comrade, the command center just checked the surveillance footage, and you were the one harassing others. Please come with us now."

"What? You're arresting me instead of her?"

"Please cooperate with our work."

The two officers were now visibly more serious.

As he stood there looking utterly perplexed, Xu Nuo chuckled coldly and said to Chen Fang, "Don't want to waste any more time, let's go."

Seeing her about to leave,

Jiang Chaowen wouldn't have it and tried to grab Xu Nuo; seeing this, the police officers intervened with force— one of them knocked Jiang Chaowen to the ground with a thump, pulled out handcuffs from his belt, and with a click, handcuffed him.

Who could have seen such a reversal coming?

Jiang Chaowen wailed on the ground, watching helplessly as Xu Nuo walked further and further away...

"It's good to be born into a prestigious family; you really avoid a lot of trouble when you're out and about,"

Chen Fang said mockingly, following Xu Nuo.

Xu Nuo suddenly stopped in her tracks, turned to look at Chen Fang, and said, "Don't you dare speak of today's events. Otherwise, I'll rip out your tongue."

Chen Fang stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to speak.

At the exit,

a Mercedes sedan was already waiting.

As the two were about to get in the car,

a mocking female voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Oh, who do we have here? Isn't this our dear Nuo? Today's outfit seems quite eye-catching."

Hearing this voice,

Xu Nuo shuddered,

and abruptly turned around, her face darkening immediately.

Chen Fang quickly turned as well and saw an extraordinarily graceful woman.

The woman was about one meter seventy in height and appeared to be about the same age as Xu Nuo.

She was wearing a very expensive-looking pure white female suit, with a black shirt underneath.

The outfit must have been tailored.

Both the style and fit complemented the woman's figure perfectly.

Her face was stunningly beautiful and as cold as ice. Her long hair was pulled to one side, perfectly embodying a real-life domineering female CEO.

"What a coincidence, it's Jingjing, just got back from a business trip?"

Xu Nuo said.

Although he called her "sister," the expression on his face made his disgust quite obvious.

Jingjing sister?

Hou Jingjing?

Chen Fang took a sharp inhale of cool air.

Could this woman in front of him be the fourth young miss of the Hou family, Hou Jingjing, the foremost family of Yuanjing?

He remembered Qinshi Mingyue telling him that the Hou family's foundation surpassed the combined presence of the Xu and Dong families, and that their youngest daughter Hou Jingjing, who held the position of president in a large state-owned enterprise, was not someone to be underestimated.

However, Hou Jingjing did not respond to Xu Nuo's words.

Instead, she turned her gaze toward Chen Fang.

She asked, "Is this the new boyfriend Qianqian just made? Didn't I hear her say before that she wanted to stay single for life? What happened, breaking the rule?"

Xu Nuo sneered.

She said, "It takes one to know one, Jingjing is even two years older than me and still unwanted. Is it because you're too fierce, Jingjing, and no man dares to get close?"

"You..."

With one sentence, Xu Nuo left Hou Jingjing at a loss for words.

With a cheeky smile, she turned to Chen Fang and asked, "And this handsome guy, what's your name?"

"Chen Fang."

Chen Fang replied unperturbed.

"Chen Fang? Quite a distinctive name, wonder if there'll be a chance to get to know you better?"

Upon hearing this.

Xu Nuo became somewhat anxious.

She stepped in front of Chen Fang and said, "Hou Jingjing, aren't you being too disrespectful? This is my guest; what right do you have to intercept halfway?"

Hou Jingjing smiled faintly.

She said, "I have no intention of highway robbery. I'm merely asking for Mr. Chen's opinion. Mr. Chen should be aware, among the three great families of Yuanjing, which one has the most strength. A fine bird chooses a tree to nest in, so please consider, Mr. Chen."

If at first it just seemed like a chance encounter.

Then this statement tensed Chen Fang's emotions.

From Hou Jingjing's words, it was clear she wasn't simply at the door by coincidence. It was highly possible that she had been waiting here all along.

It seemed his secret trip to Yuanjing had somehow had its tracks leaked.

Given the Hou family's methods, that wasn't all too surprising.

The Hou family intended to intercept him before his official contact with the Xu family.

"I'm sorry, Miss Hou, but I'm here by invite from the Xu family. If there's a chance in the future, I'll certainly call on you."

Chen Fang said.

A touch of severity flashed across the cold face of Hou Jingjing.

She spoke deliberately, "What if I insist on inviting Mr. Chen to the Hou family today?"

Chen Fang sneered and said, "Chen is just an inconsequential person, with no say in the matter. If the Hou family insists on an invite, it'll be up to the Xu family to respond."

With that statement.

He shifted the choice onto the shoulders of the Xu family.

Thereby, leaving himself some room to maneuver.

Xu Nuo threw her head back.

She said, "Hou Jingjing, if you want to take Chen Fang, then let's see if you have the skill."

Hou Jingjing snickered and replied, "Skill, huh? Since when has the Xu family been in a position to talk about 'skill' in front of our Hou family? Let me be clear, I'm definitely taking Chen Fang with me today. Xu Nuo, we grew up in the same courtyard since we were kids and are old acquaintances. I won't make it difficult for you. Go tell old Mr. Xu that we'll be taking the person, and if he wants him back, wait until after we from the Hou family have had our meeting."

After finishing the sentence.

She waved her hand.

The doors of several cars parked at the gate opened.

About a dozen young men in black suits got out, instantly surrounding Chen Fang in the middle.

This was clearly the move of a blatant robbery.

Xu Nuo, who came to pick up Chen Fang, hadn't brought any help with her.

Seeing she was outmatched, her face showed urgency.

But just when it seemed too late, it happened quickly.

A line of sedans suddenly approached from a distance.

There were about a dozen of them.

The door of the leading car opened.

A man who appeared to be in his late thirties with an air of elegance, dressed in a suit, stepped out.

Seeing this, Xu Nuo was overjoyed.

She called out loudly, "Second brother, you've arrived?"
