The Strongest Master Venturing Urban-Chapter 812: Hidden Motives

On Saturday morning, Gu Huifeng arrived at Chen Bin's villa right on time.

Shortly after, Bao Shanshan also arrived.

The three had just sat down when the maid Ji Ruyi brought over breakfast.

After eating, Chen Bin suddenly realized he hadn't brought any sportswear.

So he asked Gu Huifeng to join him in the same car, while Gu Huifeng's driver followed behind.

Leaving the city's No. 1 courtyard, they crossed several streets to reach a well-known international sports brand store.

While Chen Bin was trying on clothes, a black Mercedes stopped at the store entrance, and a woman stepped out.

The woman looked about twenty-five or twenty-six, wearing a crop top, with colorful hair cascading down her back, looking very trendy.

With a pretty face, she attracted attention wherever she went.

Upon entering the store, the woman tried on a pair of sneakers.

Feeling the style was nice, she directly threw her old shoes into the trash.

When she went to the counter to pay, she happened to run into Chen Bin.

Faced with a beauty, Chen Bin naturally took a couple of extra glances.

He noticed she had a great figure and an exceptional aura.

Facing Chen Bin's gaze, the woman let out a disdainful smile.

Evidently, she was used to being watched by men.

However, upon seeing Chen Bin's face clearly, she paused slightly, a smile forming at the corner of her mouth.

"Are you Chen Bin?"

Being a celebrity official, it was normal for Chen Bin to be recognized.

He never expected someone would address him by name directly.

Feeling slightly annoyed, Chen Bin remained silent.

After paying, he went straight to the car and left.

Soon after, Bao Shanshan looked at the rearview mirror and said.

"Secretary Chen, Ouyang Haitang seems to be following us."

Chen Bin glanced back and noticed the black Land Rover closely tailing.

So he asked, "Do you know her?"

Bao Shanshan explained, "Sort of, but not very well. I only know her dad is called Ouyang Tianxiong."

"I see!"

Nodding, Chen Bin didn't say much more.

The car continued forward, with the Mercedes tightly following behind.

Regarding this, Chen Bin had no intention of intervening.

After all, it was her car, and he couldn't control it.

As they approached Lion King Mountain, the ride became increasingly bumpy.

Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, they found several different types of cars parked around.

It seemed some people had already gone up the mountain ahead.

After getting out, Chen Bin looked up at Tianhe's only mountain.

He wondered, "Why is it called Lion King Mountain?"

When Ouyang Haitang got out of the car, she quickly walked over to explain.

"Because this mountain looks like a lion, don't you see it?"

Chen Bin slightly frowned at the prickly question.

"You seem quite familiar with this place."

"Of course, I often come here for hiking and exercise. Since we met by chance, shall we hike together? I'll introduce the scenery to you along the way?"

Initially intending to refuse, Chen Bin was curious about Ouyang Tianxiong.

So he nodded, "Sure, let's go together then."

On the way up, Ouyang Haitang vividly described the surroundings.

At times she even jogged, looking extremely relaxed.

Chen Bin rarely worked out, so it wasn't long before he was panting heavily.

Ouyang Haitang glanced at Bao Shanshan not far away and joked with Chen Bin.

"Middle-age isn't easy. You should exercise more, or you'll find it hard to keep up later."

Upon hearing this, Gu Huifeng was greatly astonished.

He thought privately: She truly is Ouyang Tianxiong's daughter, daring to say anything.

To prevent Chen Bin from feeling awkward, he immediately chimed in.

"Secretary Chen has several roles, barely managing his busy schedule, where's the time to exercise? It's impressive he made it here. If it weren't for Secretary Chen leading the way, I might not have gotten here."

Seeing Gu Huifeng feign exhaustion, Chen Bin sighed helplessly.

"This time in Tianhe, my duties have decreased. Apparently, I'll need to focus on exercising in the future."

Upon reaching the summit, Bao Shanshan needed the restroom, so Ouyang Haitang took her away.

As Chen Bin looked out at the vast sea in the distance, he felt a refreshing clarity throughout his body.

Gu Huifeng asked, "The scenery is nice here, isn't it?"

"Indeed, if it were developed into a tourist attraction, it would be even better."

"From what I know, two people want to develop here: Ouyang Haitang's father, Ouyang Tianxiong, and Tianhe Leisure Group's chairman, Min Tenghai."

As Tianhe's wealthiest person, Chen Bin had heard a bit about Min Tenghai.

He asked, "Since both have their eyes on this place, wouldn't they have to compete?"

"Yes, but they likely won't make a big issue of it, as they're prospective in-laws."

"In-laws? You mean Ouyang Haitang is dating Min Tenghai's son?"

"Correct."

"Since they're family, there's no need to fight, right?"

"Even siblings calculate finances clearly, let alone such big money matters. It's said Ouyang Tianxiong was the first to build a villa on Lion King Mountain, although it's too remote for many to live there."

Gu Huifeng looked around and continued.

"Such a good place should be developed by the right people. Over the years, as Political Consultative Conference members and representatives, Ouyang Tianxiong and Min Tenghai have amassed wealth, taking advantage of Tianhe. It's time to stop them."

At this moment, Chen Bin finally understood why Gu Huifeng had called him here; there was an ulterior motive.

Soon after, Bao Shanshan and Ouyang Haitang returned from the restroom.

The group wandered around briefly before descending the mountain.

By now it was noon, and Ouyang Haitang said there was a nearby dumpling shop with delicious food.

So Chen Bin had the driver take them there.

Arriving at the location, they found a small shop.

Nevertheless, business was booming inside, the first floor was already packed.

Finding a spot on the second floor, the group ordered different dumplings and started eating.

Shortly after, Ouyang Haitang's phone rang, and she went downstairs to take the call.

After eating a few dumplings, Chen Bin felt thirsty and went to the downstairs fridge for a bottle of mineral water. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Just after drinking and preparing to head upstairs, he found three men blocking the entrance.

And standing outside was the woman, Ouyang Haitang.

Sensing trouble brewing, Chen Bin immediately went out.

"What's going on?"

Ouyang Haitang glanced around and quickly grabbed Chen Bin's arm.

Pitifully she said, "They won't let me in!"

Chen Bin surveyed the three young men and realized they were all barely in their twenties.

So he asked, "Why won't they let you in?"

"Because... because they're trying to take advantage of me!"

Upon hearing this, the young man leading them couldn't help but curse.

"Damn it! You're spewing lies. You were the one who struck me first!"

Focusing, Chen Bin noticed the finger marks indeed on the guy's face.

He then instinctively asked Ouyang Haitang, "What's really going on here?"
