After getting off the podium, Zhou Yuan heard a system prompt and a hologram in front of him.
He smiled contentedly in his heart.
..........
Five minutes later, the birthday party resumed. This time, Huan Ji said a few words of welcome accompanied by his father.
The atmosphere here is also back to normal. Zhou Yuan had also returned to sit down with Lin Ziyan.
"So, you fought that assassin alone?" Lin Ziyan asked in surprise.
"I do. But it's nothing, the assassin is not that strong." Zhou Yuan smiled and said lightly.
"But it was so great. You saved Huan Ji's life." Lin Ziyan said with a smile and there was a hint of admiration on her expression.
"That's something to do when we see someone being attacked. Even If you were attacked by an assassin, I wouldn't hesitate to fight him to save you." Zhou Yuan smiled and said boldly.
Hearing this, Lin Ziyan felt warmth in her heart and her cheeks blushed slightly. She felt happy after hearing Zhou Yuan's words.
"Then, what if the assassin who attacked me was a strong cultivator? Your life could be in danger." Lin Ziyan suddenly asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhou Yuan smiled faintly, "No matter how dangerous it is, I will save you. Isn't that something a man must do to save his woman?"
Zhou Yuan's magnetic voice sounded in Lin Ziyan's ears. It made her cheeks turn red. But she also looked at Zhou Yuan and smiled.
She knew that, even though Zhou Yuan was just joking, it somehow made her happy and relieved. Even her heart beat faster after hearing that.
"There he is, father! He is the one who conspired with the assassin!"
Lin Ziyan was about to say something, but she stopped when she heard Huan Ji shout.
She turned her gaze to where Huan Ji was pointing, it was Xiao Chen who was sitting with Wang Liang.
She immediately frowned.
Everyone also set their sights on Xiao Chen, including Zhou Yuan.
"Son, is what you said true? He was the one who conspired with that assassin?" Huan Aji suddenly asked and there was a seriousness in his words.
"I'm serious, dad." Huan Ji nodded and said earnestly.
Hearing this, Huan Aji immediately turned his gaze to Xiao Chen and gave him a stern look.
Everyone also looked at Xiao Chen suspiciously.
But Xiao Chen's expression was shocked. What did Huan Ji say? Did he conspire with that assassin? He just wanted to save him!
"What? Huan Ji, I just wanted to save you from that assassin! You misunderstood me!" Xiao Chen said in a stern tone, he didn't accept being accused by Huan Ji.
But Huan Ji's expression was full of doubt.
"If you wanted to help me, why did you come to me and do nothing? I'm sure you backed down when you saw young master Zhou coming. You're afraid of him, right?" Huan Ji pointed at Xiao Chen with his finger and said in a louder voice.
Hearing this, everyone started glaring at Xiao Chen. Huan Ji's words were quite reasonable.
But Xiao Chen was furious when he heard Huan Ji's words, but he held back the anger.
"At that time, I wanted to save you, but someone suddenly appeared and strangled me and took me flying. So I fought him."
"You're lying! I saw you clearly. Don't dodge anymore!" Huan Ji said firmly.
"According to my son's words, you are that person. You can't dodge anymore!" This time, Huan Aji also directly said.
He certainly did not accept that his son was being targeted by someone. And maybe Xiao Chen was the one who was after his son. He would not let Xiao Chen go.
But Xiao Chen's expression was full of anger, he clenched his fists and his anger exploded in his heart.
He was indeed angry at Huan Ji for accusing him, but he was even angrier at Zhou Yuan, that person must have created this scenario!
He had already guessed in his heart. Zhou Yuan must have hired an assassin like when he met Xu Kun. And with his cunning, he acts like a hero, even though he is so rotten!
Such a person, he hated him so much.
.........
Meanwhile, Zhou Yuan only smiled when he saw Huan Ji conflicted with Xiao Chen. But he was indeed satisfied in his heart.
He looked at Lin Ziyan, "What do you think? Xiao Chen is the center of attention now." Zhou Yuan smiled and said in a sarcastic tone.
"Ugh, I am speechless. It hasn't been a month since he moved from the mountains, and he has caused a lot of trouble in the city. I don't know how good he is and how my grandfather could value him so much." Lin Ziyan said grimly.
"Well, maybe he likes making trouble. You know, I did see him approaching Huan Ji, but I don't know what his intentions were."
Hearing this, Lin Ziyan looked at Zhou Yuan and was slightly surprised. At first, she doubted what Huan Ji said, but she immediately believed it when she heard Zhou Yuan's words.
'Could it be that Xiao Chen is indeed in cahoots with that assassin?' Lin Ziyan said in her heart.
But she immediately shook her head. Although Xiao Chen was very annoying, there was no way he could kill people.
"Zhou Yuan, can you help Xiao Chen? Huan Ji could have called the police and arrested Xiao Chen. Even though I hate him, my grandfather will be very angry with me if Xiao Chen is caught by the police." Lin Ziyan pleaded with Zhou Yuan.
In fact, he was happy that Xiao Chen was caught by the police. But her grandfather obviously wouldn't let that happen. He could free Xiao Chen at any time with his connections.
And if she allowed Xiao Chen to be caught by the police, her grandfather would also definitely be angry with her. He will probably be more assertive than before.
Moreover, when her grandfather found out that she would rather go with Zhou Yuan rather than Xiao Chen.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yuan smiled faintly when he heard Lin Ziyan's words.
"I can help him. But on one condition."
