Hearing that Fang Qingxuan had given in, Luo Chen felt relieved. He took this opportunity to strike while the iron was hot, lowered his status, and mentioned the funny master-disciple relationship between him and Fang Qingxuan.
"Actually, no, I just thought that as a disciple, I would beg like this, and you, the master, wouldn't be too cruel and drive people away and kill them all, right?"
Luo Chen's words were very useful to Fang Qingxuan, she said with a smile.
"When you get into trouble, you realize that I am your master. You are really a good disciple of my master."
Luo Chen also laughed.
"Isn't Master just here to trick you?"
After Fang Qingxuan finished laughing, she became a little more serious and said.
"I won't joke with you anymore."
After hearing Luo Chen shut up and stop laughing, Fang Qingxuan continued.
"I can help you intercede on this matter, but Xu Chen must come back to accept the punishment."
"Are you still going to be punished?"
"It is the greatest mercy to spare her life, but I can assure you that her punishment will not be too severe."
Luo Chen also knew that it would be unrealistic for the Fang family not to pursue the case at all because of Xu Shu's incompetence.
It is natural to be punished for failure, and since Fang Qingxuan promised herself that Xu Xu would not be punished too severely, Luo Chen felt that he could trust Fang Qingxuan for once.
"Okay, but if you can give me some grace, I plan to go back with her after the things here are settled."
"It's up to you. My father doesn't know that Xu Chen's mission has failed. You asked Xu Chen to lie that she was still on the mission. I think my father can wait."
"Thank you so much."
Luo Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Fang Qingxuan could make such a big concession because of him, he felt a great sense of accomplishment in his heart.
On the other end of the phone, Fang Qingxuan's tone became a little helpless.
"Luo Chen, in my mind, this afternoon was the first time we had a bad conversation. I don't want something like this to happen again, so I'm willing to give in. At least we are facing the same enemy now.
We should trust each other and cooperate with each other."
Hearing Fang Qingxuan mention trust and cooperation, Luo Chen couldn't help but think about He Guang's words again, but at this moment, having just accepted Fang Qingxuan's kindness, Luo Chen couldn't directly ask Fang Qingxuan some sensitive questions.
"Trust and cooperation are necessary, but I don't seem to know you at all. Can you let me trust you with confidence?"
"Why can't you trust me? What else do you want to know about me?"
"It's nothing, I just said it casually, don't take it too seriously."
After hearing this, Fang Qingxuan no longer paid attention to what Luo Chen just said, but reminded him.
"What happened this time is already a bad rule. Remember it and you won't do it again."
"Don't worry, there won't be a next time."
After Luo Chen finished speaking, he found that both he and Fang Qingxuan suddenly fell silent. Luo Chen had nothing to say. After waiting for a while, he found that Fang Qingxuan didn't seem to want to speak, so he spoke first.
"If there's nothing wrong with you, I'll..."
Before Luo Chen finished speaking, he was suddenly stopped by Fang Qingxuan, and Luo Chen asked her.
"Is there anything else you can do?"
"Luo Chen, you said you helped Xu Chen because you saw her being treated unfairly, right?"
Luo Chen said yes, but he was a little unclear about what Fang Qingxuan wanted to say.
"Then if one day I am treated unfairly, will you help me like this?"
After Luo Chen heard these words, what he subconsciously wanted to say to Fang Qingxuan was, you are so awesome, who dares to be unfair to you?
But he vaguely felt that there seemed to be an indescribable sadness in Fang Qingxuan's tone, so he did not dare to joke around, but answered very seriously.
"Of course, and I will work harder and try my best."
"Why?"
"Because you are my friend, my partner, and my master. There are many other reasons, but these are enough for me to beat anyone who dares to bully you."
No matter whether a woman is really sad or fake, there is only one thing she should do, and that is to make her happy. For this reason, Luo Chen tried his best to find some nice words to say to Fang Qingxuan.
Sure enough, Fang Qingxuan on the other end of the phone was smiling.
"You still have some conscience, and you know that I am your master."
Fang Qingxuan's mood obviously improved, and she spoke again without waiting for Luo Chen to speak.
"Because you are so obedient, Master will give you a good gift when you come back, but only if you destroy the smuggled goods from Lin's Pharmaceuticals."
When talking about business, Luo Chen also became serious.
"I have asked Fang Yi to keep an eye on that batch of goods. Once there is an opportunity, I will take action immediately."
Fang Qingxuan reminded Luo Chen.
"Fang Yi is very capable. You can discuss with him any uncertainties. Also, I have received the exact information. The Lin family has sent a lot of people to be responsible for the safety of this batch of goods.
You must be careful yourself."
"Okay, I understand."
"I still have some things to deal with, so I won't talk about it for now. It's probably not too early for you there."
Luo Chen looked at his watch. It was 10:20. He and Fang Qingxuan had been chatting for more than ten minutes without knowing it.
"Ten twenty, in the evening."
"Nonsense! I definitely know it's night, so you should go to bed early. I'll wait for you to come back and contact you if you have anything to do... No, don't contact me again. You're a bad apprentice, and you're definitely not going to do anything good with me."
"Then I will never bother you, Master, again, okay?"
"That's not okay. You still need to report the progress of the matter to me. That's it, hang up."
"Bye-Bye."
After hanging up the phone, Luo Chen leaned on the sofa, feeling a stone fall in his heart. He no longer had to worry about Xu Xu's affairs, which made him feel physically and mentally relaxed.
At this time, the door of the room rang. Luo Chen thought it was Mu Binglan who was back, so he hurriedly opened the door. However, when Luo Chen opened the door, what he saw was not Mu Binglan, but Mu Binglan with his hands behind his back.
Xu Shu was wearing pajamas and a smile on her face.
Xu Chen looked into the room and found that no one was there, so she wanted to go in.
Luo Chen immediately pressed his hand on the door frame, blocking her way in.
"What are you doing? Didn't you tell me not to come to me? Go back to sleep."
Xu Chen curled his lips and said unwillingly.
"I'm not here to check the ward. Why are you so nervous? I came here because I was worried about you."
Luo Chen said in confusion.
"What are you worried about me for?"
Xu Chen took out the medical kit hidden behind his back.
"I'm worried about the wound on your leg. I just suddenly thought that your wound needs dressing, so I went outside and bought a portable medical kit."
