Chapter 3: The Black Child's Telephone

Wang Chen's words had not yet been finished when he was interrupted by Chen Xinyi, who clearly already knew Wang Chen's name.

Hello, may I ask if there will be a car racing competition held here in four days?" After arriving at the racetrack, Wang Chen asked a young man dressed in staff uniform.

The person speaking to Wang Chen is a girl, very beautiful, and dressed in a stylish manner. The girl's name is Chen Xinyi

Indeed, however, this competition is not the trivial affairs of the past; it is a biennial car racing event, and many prominent figures will be in attendance!" the young man said with a tone of boastfulness, as if he himself were one of the distinguished individuals he spoke of.

What does that mean? Why don't you ask me where I study? Instead, you directly ask me what I am doing now

"Big Shanghai? What is that kid doing now?" Wang Chen muttered to himself, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart

As the words fell, a "beep beep" sound came from the other end of the phone. After hearing this sentence, Wang Chen frowned.

"What my brother said is true, I just wanted to come and take a look," Wang Chen said casually

Indeed. Wang Chen nodded somewhat helplessly; his current mood was complex. It should be a very pleasant thing for the school beauty to know his name, but precisely because of this, Wang Chen found himself at a loss for words.

I see... Wang Chen narrowed his eyes upon hearing this; the prominent figure mentioned by the young man must certainly refer to someone from the underworld.

"How boring, I guessed it right away. But I must ask, Wang Chen, where have you been these past two years? It's as if you've evaporated from the world! This phone number was still given to me by Chen Xinyi. You are a typical example of prioritizing romance over friendship. You just show up without contacting me first, but you reach out to women first!"

After talking to himself, Wang Chen's eyes became incredibly calm and composed. He is now a member of the People's Liberation Army of China, a certain military district, and the Special Operations Brigade of the Blade Team. He carries with him... a mission that must be accomplished

The phone number is an unfamiliar one, but only Chen Xinyi knows my number. Who could this person calling me be? The individuals mentioned above? It seems unlikely, as it was clearly stated when the task was assigned that only Wang Chen could contact them; they would not reach out to Wang Chen proactively.

After taking a cold shower, Wang Chen lay on the bed, playing with two Type 92 Huaxia-made pistols in his hands

Heizi is a buddy of Wang Chen from high school, and the two have a very good relationship. His full name is Zhang Yichun, and because he has a very dark complexion, Wang Chen gave him a nickname... Heizi

"Going to school? With your grades, what university can you possibly get into? Don't say anything useless." Wang Chen rolled his eyes and said

Zhang Yichun is a very down-to-earth person in Wang Chen's impression, and he is considered one of the few friends Wang Chen had during high school. He truly does not want to see Zhang Yichun go down the wrong path

Three years ago, on the first day of the senior year of high school, Wang Chen was assigned to Class One of the senior year.

At that moment, Wang Chen's phone suddenly rang. Wang Chen frowned, rolled up the car window, started the engine, and left the place.

In the early morning, Wang Chen finished his grooming, checked his belongings, and then left the hotel carrying the rectangular box.

Participating? Wang Chen is not that bored; he is here out of necessity for a task. As long as he can find Lin Meng'er, it does not matter to him how this competition unfolds.

Chen Xinyi is a name he has certainly heard before, and he has definitely seen this person before as well, but this is the first time they are speaking to each other, the first time they are in such close proximity.

The country does not oppose car racing events, but this track is not a legitimate racing circuit. The conditions of this track are very dangerous, and the safety standards have not been met at all; in some sections, there are not even any guardrails.

This bastard, make sure not to take the wrong road! Wang Chen cursed under his breath, pressing down hard on the accelerator as he sped towards Shanghai. Traffic in City S was extremely congested, especially during this time, which was the peak hour for getting off work. Although the distance to Shanghai was not far, due to the traffic jam, it would be fortunate if Wang Chen could arrive before 6 o'clock.

These two handguns have been disassembled and reassembled by him no less than ten times, yet Wang Chen continues to repeat the process over and over again, because... His thoughts have long since drifted elsewhere

This task is very dangerous and allows for not a trace of carelessness

Greater Shanghai? If he remembered correctly, this Greater Shanghai is a nightclub in City S, and it is the one with the highest consumption. A bottle of beer that costs three to four yuan outside can be sold for over a hundred yuan per bottle inside.

"Buddy, if you also want to participate in the competition, I advise you to give up! Because your car simply does not meet the standards; the participating vehicles must be worth over one million. In other words, this is a game for the wealthy second generation, and people like us can only watch." The young man glanced at Wang Chen's Jeep and said disdainfully.

Wang Chen listened to these words, fell silent for a moment, and then said: "Let's not talk about that anymore. It has been more than two years since we last met. What are you doing now? How have you been?"

Wang Chen drove his modified military green Jeep towards the urban area of City S, intending to inspect the racetrack, or to put it in more professional terms, to conduct a reconnaissance.

"With so much unnecessary talk, the only person who is so eager to call me must be that one named Heizi, right?" Wang Chen smiled and said

Your name is Wang Chen, with "Wang" referring to the nobility of kings and princes, and "Chen" from the phrase "Green chariots accompany the emperor's son, blue curtains assist the imperial machine". Is that correct?

A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as Wang Chen pressed the answer button and said, "Hello, I wonder which old classmate this is?"

I happened to run into her," Wang Chen said helplessly, shaking his head as he explained

Returning to reality, Wang Chen loaded the magazines of two handguns and placed them under the pillow, letting out a sigh

Ding ding ding ! ... ...

"Alright, enough of the casual talk. On a serious note, Chenzi, have you managed to win that girl over? A few weeks ago, I saw Chen Xinyi, and not only is she more beautiful than before, but she also has a more captivating presence. Most importantly... her grandfather is wealthy and powerful, a prominent figure in our city S!" Heizi said over the phone.

Let the past be the past, from the very beginning... we have been people from two different worlds. Some things, once missed, become matters for a lifetime.

Hello, classmate, my name is Chen Xinyi! The Chen from 'Chen Zhucanzhunyuan', and the Xinyi from 'A Touch of Peach Fragrance Brings Comfort'!

Alright, I truly concede to you! It has been such a long time since we last met, and now you suddenly appear. As your brother, I must treat you to a welcome dinner! It is now 4 PM, so how about this: let us meet in Shanghai at 6 PM, and we shall not part ways!

It is a pleasure to meet you. Wang Chen smiled and shook hands with Chen Xinyi.

Today we can be considered acquainted, it is a pleasure to meet you. Chen Xinyi smiled as she extended her palm, smooth as jade, towards Wang Chen

Hello, my name is ... ... It is polite to greet each other at the beginning of a new semester, and Wang Chen naturally knew this girl's name, as Chen Xinyi was the school belle at that time, known by all.

As mentioned earlier, only Chen Xinyi knows this number, and the incoming call is not from Chen Xinyi, so it can only be that Chen Xinyi informed someone else, and that person is calling, or... it could be a sales call

"Wow, Wang Chen, your mind is still so quick! I was hoping to trick you a bit, but you saw right through it! Now I can only let you guess who I am!" These words came through the phone.
