Chapter 280
Fade Chen spoke on the phone, "Sister Lily, don’t worry. I’ll leave the company’s business matters to
you. I’ll contact Quin immediately and ask her what’s going on. If I can’t get her, I’ll personally make a
trip to Long City." "Okay, thank you. I’ll leave this matter to you," Lily Wei said. Then, she hung up the
phone. Fade proceeded to dial his wife’s number. After a series of beeping sounds, no one answered.
Then, Fade called her three more times. Finally, Quin Lin picked up the phone and said, "Hello!"
"Honey, are you in Long City?" Fade asked her directly. He continued, "Lily is very worried about you
because you haven’t gotten back yet. I’m also worried about you. What are you doing in Long City?
After a moment of silence, Quin said quietly, "No worries. I’m doing fine in Long City. I met someone
that I used to know, so I stayed one more day. I’m fine, and you don’t have to worry about me. I’m
hanging up now!" Although Quin said she was fine, Fade felt that something was off with her tone. So
he said, "Dear, I’m coming to Long City immediately. Wait for me there. If there is any issues, will deal
with it." After hanging up, Fade’s face became a little more serious. "Mr. Chen, what’s wrong?" Master
Xie asked. "Let’s go back to Bay City now,"he continued. Fade shook his head and said, "I’m going to
Long City. You can stay here and supervise these people. You have to pay special attention to the
Sacred Fig Tree. Don’t allow it to be harmed." "Well, alright!" Master Xie said and nodded. He
continued, "After dealing with this matter, i’ll go to Long City to look for you, Mr. Chen." "Sure!" Fade
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsaid and he nodded. Then, he walked directly toward the forest. He wasn’t far from Long City. After
passing through the forest, he would arrive at the suburbs of Long City Therefore, Fade did not intend
to go down the mountain and use the car. Instead, he decided to walk directly through the forest After
rushing into the forest, Fade sped up. His figure morphed into a mere shadow and he walked through
the forest as though he was walking on flat ground. Looking at Fade, who had disappeared in the blink
of an eye, Master Xie couldn’t help but be envious and amazed. He whispered, "I can’t imagine how
strong Mr. Chen is! I don’t know when I can reach Mr. Chen’s level." Fade ran quickly all the way
through the forest. He slowed down to rest every two hours. In this way, Fade finally arrived at the
suburbs of Long City, in a part of the town called Dragonville, just as the skies began to darken. The
suburbs were close to the mountains and the forest, so there were few people around. Standing on the
mountain, he could see the entire town. Occasionally, he could see some lights in the village. In the
distance, there was a magnificent glowing light, which was the center of Dragonville. After determining
the direction of his journey, Fade walked down the mountain and went forward. Since he was close to
the village, he would pass the occasional person along the way. Therefore, Fade slowed down. He
walked at the speed of ordinary people. After leaving the forest, he found himself in a meadow. On the
other side of the meadow, there was a road. Fade wondered if he could hitch a ride with a passing car
to enter Long City. After all, he was not familiar with Long City. Since he was here, he really didn’t know
where to find his wife, However, looking at the dark night around him, Fade shook his head. It was
almost impossible to get a ride with a car at this time. However, just as Fade was shaking his head, he
heard the sound of a car. Then, he heard more cars coming toward him. "I really can get a ride with a
car tonight!" Fade thought to himself, and he was delighted. He quickened his pace and walked toward
the sound of the cars. After passing a small forest, Fade could observe the situation clearly. He
immediately knew where the sound of those cars were coming from There was a wide sandy area in
front of him. At this moment, there were more than ten tents on the ground. Outside the tents, around
ten luxurious land rovers were there. Their engines were on,and so were their car lights. This lit up the
center of the tents. Then, he saw a group of young men and women, who were holding all kinds of
food. They were also bringing barbecue racks, wood, and other items. They seemed to be preparing a
barbecue dinner. However, this group of people was obviously not experienced in camping. They were
busy talking to each other, wasting a lot of food, but the barbecue stand was not built at all. Even the
bonfire only produced smoke, which caused their noses to become runny and their tears to flow.
However, they still couldn’t light the fire. Instead, the smoke floated into the nearby tents, causing the
people inside to come out. They started to quarrel with each other, and this almost lead to a fight.
Looking at this group of people, Fade understood what was going on. This must be a group of rich
young people. Maybe they were too bored, so they decided to come and camp in the forest.
Unfortunately, they had no relevant experience at camping. They brought a lot of professional
equipment, but they didn’t know how to use anything. They started the cars because there was no light

coming from the bonfire, so they could only use the lights of the cars. Fade couldn’t help shaking his
head, and he was ready to leave. Just as Fade was about to leave, someone saw him and shouted
angrily, "Who is that? Come here!" With this shout, more than a dozen rich young people immediately
rushed over and stared at Fade with unfriendly expressions. Most of them were still holding knives,
shovels and other tools. They looked at Fade in vigilance and excitement Fade turned around, spread
out his hands, and explained, "I was just passing by." The group of people looked at Fade’s clothes.
Looking at his tattered mountain climbing attire, they believed him. Seeing that they did not speak,
Fade turned around and prepared to leave. But then, a tall man in his mid-20s walked out of the crowd.
He had red
Hair and was styled like a punk. The man kicked a small stone beside his feet at Fade. At the same
time, he shouted rudely, "Wait, come here!" Fade leaned to one side to avoid the stone. Then, he
looked at the Red Hair Punk and asked coldly, "What can I do for you ?" The man smiled and said,
"Judging by what you’re wearing, you enjoy hiking and camping?" Fade didn’t answer. He just looked at
the Red Hair Punk and felt a little uneasy. The man crooked his finger and said with an arrogant
expression, "If you agree that you like those activities, come here and set up the tent for us. Don’t
forget to light the bonfire, and you’ll be responsible for the barbecue and dinner." Hearing this, Fade
frowned and said, "I’m sorry, I’m on my way to Long City. I’m not interested in playing house with you."
After that, Fade turned around and was about to leave. The Red Hair Punk obviously didn’t expect that
someone would dare to refuse his request. His expression darkened and he shouted coldly, "Boy, I
asked you to come here and help us. Didn’t you hear me ?".
