Chapter 204 Xiaocheng: Don'T Sleep Too Soundly Tonight
But his words lacked their previous, outwardly polite tone.
The fear and pain he had endured made him anxious.
He had already subconsciously begun to reveal his true nature, his words carrying a hint of threat.
It stung the ears.
It hardly seemed like the behavior of someone who had researched the owner and manufacturer of a toy out of genuine interest.
But Su Tao was unaware of the conflict between Chu Lingfeng and Chi Xiaocheng, so even though his words were somewhat abrasive, she didn't immediately fire back, considering the possibility that this miracle doctor could treat Chi Xiaocheng.
Si Chen, however, was different. He believed he knew Chi Xiaocheng inside and out.
This man, who knew the boot-up code, knew that Chi Xiaocheng would one day awaken on her own and return.
A miracle doctor?
Who needs you?
Perfect timing, since the doll controlled by Chi Xiaocheng could also see what was happening here. It was an opportunity to score some favor points!
He immediately stepped forward, standing in front of Su Tao, his 6'3" frame like a mountain. His imposing presence caused Chu Lingfeng to involuntarily take a step back.
"What are you doing?"
Chu Lingfeng's tone was a little weaker.
Si Chen retorted without any politeness, "Who do you think you are? If you're asking for a favor, act like you're asking for a favor. Why should I give you face? Do you think you're all that?"
Chu Lingfeng looked at Si Chen in surprise, pointing a thumb at himself, "You don't recognize me?"
He sneered dismissively, "Who are you, some nobody? How can there be someone at this banquet who doesn't know me? Go ask anyone. I'm Chu Lingfeng, the miracle doctor invited by the Si family!"
"I don't need to tell you how influential the Si family is in Jiuzhou City, do I? Since the Ye family fell, the Si family is the second-largest family in Jiuzhou City!"
His words were filled with arrogant disdain.
He stared intently at Si Chen, wanting to see a look of shock.
He had even already envisioned the scene that would unfold.
--Si Chen would take a step back, looking at him in astonishment, thinking to himself: This person is actually the recently renowned miracle doctor of the Si family!
Shock would be followed by shame and humiliation, and then he would lower his head, apologize, and beg for forgiveness.
Then he could act like he did before, putting on a show and taking his pulse to point out the stubborn ailments in his body. Not only could he slap him in the face, but he could also earn Su Tao's favor.
It was a script tailor-made for him.
However, he waited quite a while, but he didn't see any shock on Si Chen's face.
Instead, Si Chen waved towards the distance.
Immediately after, Chu Lingfeng saw the Si family's third young master, Si Lai, running over with a fawning expression, "Second Brother, is there anything I can do for you?"
"Second Brother?"
Chu Lingfeng's pupils contracted slightly. He looked at Si Chen in shock.
This person was actually the recently rising second son of the Si family!
In the end, he was just an outer layer figure attached to the Si family. Even if he was confident in standing above the Si family in the future, Chu Lingfeng still needed the Si family's help now.
And now, he had directly confronted the second son of the Si family.
Embarrassment and humiliation surged in his heart. Just as Chu Lingfeng was thinking about how to apologize and salvage his image, he heard Si Chen say to his younger brother, "Haven't you disliked this Chu Lingfeng for a long time? Give him a slap."
Si Lai's eyes widened, but he was somewhat eager to try, "Second Brother, this... this isn't good, right? After all, he was invited by an elder, so hitting him would be too disrespectful to the elder."
Si Chen pushed up his glasses, easily guiding his foolish younger brother, "Si Lai, you don't really think that Big Brother let you take over the Si family in Jiuzhou City for your own good, do you? Think about why I was kicked out of the capital. His purpose is to keep you away from the core circles of the capital."
"Now that you've come here, aren't the family affairs all controlled by the elders? You're always being dismissed. Now they invite a so-called miracle doctor and don't even think of you."
"If you keep hesitating and being cowardly like this, you still dare to dream of competing with Big Brother for the family fortune?"
Upon hearing this, Si Lai's expression changed drastically.
He immediately looked at Chu Lingfeng with some resentment.
The latter's expression changed drastically twice. He quickly explained, "Second Young Master Si, it's... it's because I didn't recognize Mount Tai and didn't recognize you. We're all members of the Si family, on the same side, so there's no need to be so extreme, right?"
As soon as Si Lai heard this, he couldn't help but explode, "Who's on the same side as you? You're just a dog of our Si family, and you still want to sit at the table to eat?"
He looked at Si Chen, "Second Brother, can I slap him twice?"
Si Chen patted him on the shoulder, everything was understood without words.
He turned around and, without even listening to Chu Lingfeng's explanation, said to Su Tao, "Let's go. It's going to get violent, so it's best for girls not to watch."
"This..."
Su Tao was speechless for a moment, but she still followed Si Chen out.
Soon, screams came from behind them. From afar, they could even hear Si Lai excitedly shouting to the security guards, "What are you guys still standing there for? Come and beat him with me!"
Su Tao couldn't help but shudder, "Si Chen, is it really okay for your younger brother to act like that? If Miracle Doctor Chu is a guest, won't he be scolded?"
Si Chen shrugged, "So what if he's scolded? It has nothing to do with me. In any case, I don't like that Chu Lingfeng very much. You should try to avoid contact with him."
"But, after all, he's a miracle doctor. He might have a chance to save Xiaocheng, right?"
Si Chen paused in his steps.
He didn't know how to explain this point.
He thought for a moment, then slowly said, "This matter, Dongfang Yang and I will take care of it. Don't worry."
"Thank you."
The two re-entered the birthday banquet hall. Perhaps it was the effect of the female lead's halo, coupled with Su Tao's slightly melancholy temperament, that attracted many young masters who came to hunt for romance.
However, as soon as they stepped forward to chat, they were blocked by Si Chen.
Until they met Dongfang Yang.
Si Chen said, "I'll leave Su Tao to you to send back. I still have some personal matters to deal with in the family. Contact me if anything comes up."
"No problem."
Watching Dongfang Yang leave with Su Tao, Si Chen was just about to turn around when he noticed a small note falling from Su Tao's body.
He was about to call out to Su Tao.
But he noticed that there was a small orange pattern on the note.
This was left by Chi Xiaocheng, who was controlling the high-tech doll!
Si Chen collected the note calmly. After walking to a place where no one was around, he took a deep breath, "This should be for future arrangements. I knew Chi Xiaocheng wouldn't have no news after faking her death for so long."
"It seems Su Tao is about to fall completely."
He opened the note and was immediately stunned.
--Si Chen, don't sleep too soundly tonight. I'll find you in your dreams.
Si Chen: "???"
Crap, she's coming for me.
Could it be that she wants to meet me to discuss things?
But why did she say she'd find me in my dreams? Is it possible for current technology to freely enter other people's dreams? I'm also a descendant of a large family, how come I don't know about this!
Or is Chi Xiaocheng actually here to take revenge!
After all, last time, I said I wanted to marry Su Tao and such at the hospital.
Si Chen lit a cigarette and fell into deep thought.
Then, he had insomnia that night.
He tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and he didn't dare to sleep either. Even the slightest sound made his heart palpitate.
He never imagined that this note was just a decoy deliberately left by Chi Xiaocheng.
As for the purpose...
