Flower City's Peerless Divine Doctor-Chapter 348: Enemies on a Narrow Path

The next day at noon, Li Chen was having lunch when Chen Wanqiu called him.

"Little rascal, did you miss me?"

"You’re back?"

Hearing that familiar voice, Li Chen felt a surge of joy.

These days, he often found himself thinking of this haughty woman who loved to put on a strong front and never admitted defeat easily.

But since she had not been in Dragon City, he could only think about her.

Unexpectedly, she called today. Your journey continues with novelbuddy

"Giggle, yes, you still haven’t answered, did you miss me? If you didn’t, you’ve completely lost your chance, and you can forget about conquering me forever, hmph!" Her hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone.

"Oh, really? I’m afraid you won’t be able to resist!" Li Chen teased, laughing.

Of all the women around him, she was the only one he couldn’t control.

Unlike his sister-in-law, Aunt Qing, and Xu Jia, she was a true career woman with a pivotal position.

They’d been together many times, and the only thing he could be sure of was that he had truly conquered her body.

And that was thrilling enough.

"Hmph, you’re such a bad boy. Would saying you miss me kill you? I even called you the moment I had some free time."

"What, you want it already just after getting back?"

Between them, pleasure of the flesh was what prevailed.

Li Chen didn’t hold back and bluntly joked, thinking of her nearly perfect figure and the mature beauty of her face, he was filled with restless desire.

"Yes, I want it, happy now, you little rascal! Who made you so good that I couldn’t stop thinking about it while on a business trip..."

"Shall I come find you?"

"Not now! Today is dad’s birthday, and we’re having the banquet at Phoenix Cry Pavilion tonight. Remember to come early! Then, you’ll see me!"

Hearing this, Li Chen was momentarily stunned.

He had met Old Master Chen, Chen Bingtian, but what did this banquet have to do with him?

Just then, Chen Wanqiu’s voice came again, "Tonight, some of the heavyweights of Dragon City will be there, you are a distinguished guest of the Chen Family, naturally, you’re also on the invite list."

"You bad boy, I’ll be waiting for you! Don’t you dare not show up!"

Knowing Li Chen’s nature, she didn’t give him a chance to respond and hung up.

Li Chen looked at the phone and gave a helpless, wry smile.

What’s all this about?

After work, Li Chen hesitated for a moment and sighed.

In the end, he still left and hailed a cab to Phoenix Cry Pavilion.

As a renowned Chinese-style hotel in Dragon City, Phoenix Cry Pavilion was expansive.

Li Chen had only heard of it and had never been there before. At first glance, it looked like a royal mansion.

Tall walls surrounded it, the architecture was ornate and magnificent.

It exuded both classical elegance and exquisite detail.

"Sir, we have a private banquet today, and the venue has been reserved. If you’re here for the banquet, please show your invitation..." Just as he was about to enter, a staff member at the door stopped him.

"Invitation?"

Li Chen was taken aback. Chen Wanqiu hadn’t mentioned any invitation to him.

He took out his phone, ready to call, when a mocking voice came from behind, "What country bumpkin is this, scrounging for a meal up to here?"

"Haocheng!"

Right after that, a stern voice called out.

"Chairman Liu, please! I will need your help for the Lin Family to reach a cooperation with the Chen Family, and I will be forever grateful."

"Rest assured, Mr. Lin, I have some connections with Chairman Chen too. I will introduce you later."

The conversation behind him didn’t concern Li Chen.

But that name caught his attention. Turning around, he saw the familiar hateful face and couldn’t help but smirk to himself—indeed, it’s a small world full of old enemies.

"Li Chen, it’s you!"

Upon seeing Li Chen, Lin Haocheng was also startled.

His mocking demeanor instantly twisted into a grimace, his teeth gritted in hatred.

Remembering how he almost got beat up the night before, and his hasty retreat, his anger boiled over.

Li Chen glanced at Lin Haocheng, his gaze falling on the two figures who had just alighted from a Mercedes.

One of them, with some resemblance to Lin Haocheng, was undoubtedly his father, Lin Guangchang.

From Teacher Su Xiao, he had heard quite a bit about the Lin Family; Lin Guangchang had been an indulgent father who spoiled his late-gotten son, and his wife was even more so, creating Lin Haocheng’s overbearing character.

Then, Lin Guangchang approached, his gaze sweeping over Li Chen and frowning at his casual attire.

He didn’t bother with his son’s rudeness any more.

Pulling out an invitation, he entered Phoenix Cry Pavilion with the person by his side.

However, Lin Haocheng stopped, not following them, his venomous gaze locked on Li Chen.

"What, wasn’t yesterday’s lesson enough? Do you want another round?" Li Chen sneered contemptuously.

Lin Haocheng instinctively flinched, but then laughed loudly, "Haha, do you even know where you are? Old Master Chen is hosting his birthday banquet here today. If you dare to make a move, the Chen Family won’t let you off."

"Oh yeah, right, a little loser like you who likes to wear other people’s castoffs wouldn’t know that."

"Watch him closely, everyone. This guy is a leech, here to freeload food and drink. Make sure he doesn’t sneak in."

Lin Haocheng mocked to his heart’s content, venting his inner rage.
