After Divorce, Bewitching Female CEO Pursues Me - Chapter 19

After a quarter of an hour, on the cruise ship.

Chen Ping sat on a sofa, sipping grape wine, while enjoying the night view of the Yangtze River on both sides. He appeared extremely relaxed.

Wen Xue’er stood behind him, still finding it hard to believe that Chen Ping alone had subdued three thousand thugs. Even more unbelievable was the fact that Black Master, one of the strongest underworld figures in Han City, had knelt before Chen Ping, completely abandoning his aura as a big shot in the underworld.

If this had happened before, she wouldn’t have believed it, but tonight—she had no choice but to believe.

“Mr. Chen, there is 10 million in this card. Please accept it!” Black Master kneeled in front of Chen Ping, holding out a bank card.

However, Chen Ping was too absorbed in the night scenery to acknowledge Black Master.

“Chen… If Mr. Chen still finds it lacking, I can add another 10 million. In addition, from tonight onwards, I, Black Master, am willing to assist Mr. Chen in every way. Please give me a chance!”

“Bang!”

Without lifting his eyelids, Chen Ping said, “Continue recruiting.”

Black Master’s head hit the deck heavily, and his whole body was about to bow down completely, showing utmost deference.

This scene astonished Wen Xue’er. Though Black Master had been defeated, he was still considered the strongest underground kingpin in Han City, commanding five thousand henchmen. Now, he willingly became a lackey for Chen Ping. If this were to spread, who would believe it?

Not only her, but also Black Master’s subordinates operating the cruise ship were shocked, gaping at Chen Ping with a complex expression of fear and admiration.

At this moment, Chen Ping finally raised his eyelids, giving a glance to Black Master, who was about to bow down completely. “Do you regret it?”

“I don’t regret it!” Black Master shook his head.

“After being a leader for so many years, suddenly becoming someone else’s lackey might be disheartening. Have you thought it through?” Chen Ping asked.

“I’ve thought it through! Please give me a chance, Mr. Chen!” Black Master replied.

“As long as you have this intention, I approve! Hand over the money.” Chen Ping extended his hand.

Hearing this, Black Master’s face lit up with joy. He eagerly handed over the bank card containing 10 million to Chen Ping.

Black Master’s actions were not foolish; on the contrary, they revealed his shrewdness. Although he was one of the four major underworld powers in Han City, in an actual fight, the other three forces combined could still pose a threat to him.

Now, with Chen Ping emerging as a formidable force, capable of defeating three thousand people alone, Black Master believed that aligning with Chen Ping could elevate his gang above the other three, making him the true leader.

“Tell me, what was your real purpose tonight?” Chen Ping squinted his eyes and asked.

“In response to Mr. Chen, I accepted money from the Wen family to help them get rid of Miss Wen, allowing the father and son to control the entire Wen Group,” Black Master truthfully reported.

“It’s impossible!” Wen Xue’er shook her head, unwilling to accept this reality. “Even though my second uncle doesn’t like me, we share the same blood. How could they be so heartless as to kill me?”

“Miss Wen, I’ve been in the underworld for decades, and I’ve seen plenty of these conflicts among wealthy families. It’s nothing new to me,” Black Master explained.

“He’s right. For the sake of interests, not to mention blood relations, even close family members can turn against each other! It’s really nothing new!” Chen Ping believed Black Master’s words and commented.

“This…” Upon hearing this, Wen Xue’er froze.

She didn’t want to believe this reality, but she had no choice. In that moment, she felt that her life was truly pathetic. Though it seemed like she lived in a wealthy family, the bitterness and struggles were known to few. For instance, the events of tonight – her own uncle and cousin paid Black Master to kill her for their own gain. They shared the same family name, the same blood, and yet, they could be so ruthless. This kind of family bond sounded absurd and ridiculous.

At this moment, Wen Xue’er found herself envying ordinary families. Even though their lives might not be as luxurious as hers, at least they didn’t engage in life-or-death struggles within the family.

“Since we’re on the same side now, don’t kneel anymore. Get up!” Chen Ping, noticing Wen Xue’er’s silence and despondent expression, spoke to Black Master.

“Thank you, Mr. Chen!” Black Master, relieved, slowly stood up and stood respectfully by Chen Ping, admiring the night view along the Yangtze River.

The wind roared, the waves thundered, the cruise ship roared, and the night view was brilliant. Everything seemed beautiful and peaceful.

Chen Ping, for the first time after his divorce, was savoring this serene moment.

Three hours later, Chen Ping and Wen Xue’er left the cruise ship and got into a Tank 300.

On the way, Wen Xue’er remained in a state of shock, driving silently without saying a word.

“Why the change in temperament? Why so quiet? If you have something to say, just say it!” Chen Ping broke the silence in the car.

“Mr. Chen, I really owe you for tonight’s events! If it weren’t for you, I—” Wen Xue’er choked up and couldn’t continue.

“No need to be polite. Besides, by helping you, I earned 10 million. It’s a win-win situation, a beautiful thing, isn’t it?” Chen Ping teased.

Wen Xue’er finally laughed, saying, “Mr. Chen, you really know how to joke. With your abilities, do you really care about a mere 10 million? I think your true goal is to take over Black Master, right?”

“That’s right!” Chen Ping didn’t deny it. “Although I don’t appreciate his skills, I’m interested in his power. Do you know why?”

“I don’t know! Please enlighten me, Mr. Chen!”

“Rather than letting five thousand people follow him and do evil deeds, it’s better to let me lead them. Over time, I can reform them, making them change their ways and stop doing harm.” Chen Ping explained.

“So, Mr. Chen’s aspirations are so ambitious. I sincerely admire you!” Wen Xue’er looked surprised and gazed at Chen Ping affectionately. “Listening to Mr. Chen’s words is better than reading ten years’ worth of books. I’m becoming more and more fond of you, Mr. Chen!”

“As the saying goes, beauty matches the hero. If Mr. Chen doesn’t mind, how about letting me serve Mr. Chen for dressing and sleeping tonight?” Chen Ping: “…”

This woman is getting more and more off track.

“Giggle…” Seeing Chen Ping’s dazed expression, Wen Xue’er laughed again. “Just kidding, Mr. Chen took it seriously!”

Chen Ping: “…”

Shaking his head, he found this woman truly incomprehensible. However, chatting with Wen Xue’er was unexpectedly comfortable. This kind of feeling – he hadn’t experienced it in his four years of marriage with Su Wanyun. Sneaking a glance at Wen Xue’er, he noticed her great figure, long and white legs, and when she smiled, the attractive charm around her chest shook, tempting people to commit a crime. Comparing her to Su Wanyun, Wen Xue’er was like a living version of Daji.

“Oh, I almost forgot something…”

Just as Chen Ping was lost in thought, Wen Xue’er suddenly slapped her fair and tender thigh…
