Chapter 5 No One Can Bully You

"Mount Panlong?" Sitting across from Su Chen, a couple who appeared to be in their early twenties, the man spoke softly, "That guy really knows how to brag. What is Mount Panlong? It's the most luxurious place in the Mo City." "Yes, that's right." The woman with long hair looked enthusiastic, "Mount Panlong is located by the river, but it's right in the center of the Mo City. There are only ten estates there, all designed by the world's top masters. They are incredibly beautiful, and they are only available for rent, not for sale." The man chuckled softly, "Didn't we hear a report a couple of years ago that a set of estates in Mount Panlong was worth over three billion, making it the most expensive in the country? Even the houses in Townsend One couldn't compare to Mount Panlong." The woman shook her head, "The annual rent for Mount Panlong is ten million, which is the price of a single house in other places. It's simply too extravagant." "And Mount Panlong is so vast, with only ten estates, golf courses, horse farms, and the environment is top-notch. If I ever get to live there one day, I'll be laughing in my dreams." The man whispered, "Living there is one thing, but that big brother across from us is actually building a mansion for his daughter in Mount Panlong, ha..." Their conversation was hushed. But Su Chen couldn't help but overhear. After hearing this, Su Chen's expression remained unchanged. Back in the day, Mount Panlong was nothing more than a gift from a warlord to himself as a token of goodwill. He focused on accompanying his daughter on the subway. Su Chen often had conversations with Luo Luo. Luo Luo was somewhat timid, especially in crowded places, she would speak to Su Chen as if she were whispering secrets. Su Chen wasn't in a rush about this. Changing his daughter's gentle personality would be a gradual process. After a subway ride of more than twenty minutes. Su Chen carried Luo Luo off the subway station, and the exit was next to a shopping mall. This area was a bustling commercial district, and not far away, you could see the beautiful view of the Oriental Pearl Tower. In the distance, there was a large mountain adjacent to the river, which was Mount Panlong. Mount Panlong was a sizable low mountain, covered in lush greenery and surrounded by an iron fence. Inside, there were ten extremely luxurious estates. They walked along the square and proceeded forward. The entrance to Mount Panlong was not far ahead, a grand and imposing stone gate with dozens of people on both sides, many of them holding cameras. Su Chen looked over thoughtfully. He could hear the conversations of those people, "This place has really been rented out by a film crew." "I heard they're filming an idol drama here." "Can you guys get any good shots? Your director is really giving you a hard time shooting here." In the crowd, there were about a dozen members of the media. From their direction, you could see a large grassy area on Mount Panlong, and there were occasional crew members moving around. 'Has it been rented out?' Su Chen furrowed his brows slightly. Mount Panlong, this piece of land, had always been managed by Li Cheng, the owner of Changhe Real Estate Company. Li Cheng was a local of the Mo City, and when Su Chen first met him, he was just an eight-year-old kid. Later on, Su Chen recognized Li Cheng's agile mind and his humorous personality, so he took him under his wing for two years. Today, many of his properties were also managed by Li Cheng. As for the matter of building a mansion, it was thirty-five years ago when he gave his nod of approval that Li Cheng dared to break ground in Mount Panlong. However, renting out this place seems a bit unreasonable! "Luo Luo, Daddy will take you to play at Mount Panlong." Su Chen smiled faintly, holding Luo Luo in his arms as they walked to the entrance of Mount Panlong. At that very moment, "You actually came to Mount Panlong?" The couple that had been secretly discussing Su Chen on the subway were now just a few meters behind him. The man noticed the situation and chuckled, "I have to say, big brother, boasting so much in front of your daughter isn't a good idea. You might end up setting a bad example for the little one." As they walked past several streets, people stopped to watch the commotion. Seeing this, the man explained, "That guy over there claims Mount Panlong as his own, quite the storyteller, I must say." Suddenly, laughter erupted in the surroundings. The gazes of more onlookers turned toward them. Luo Luo clung to Su Chen's neck, looking a bit scared as she timidly observed the crowd. Amidst the laughter... A man in a suit hurriedly approached, holding an old photograph, and asked Su Chen with great respect, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Su?" "That's me," Su Chen nodded calmly. "Excellent, I've finally been waiting for you. I'm from Mount Panlong's management, you can call me Xiao Zhao. When Mr. Li heard that you were coming, he immediately flew back and has just landed. He's on his way here. Mr. Su, please come inside." The man in the suit bowed and saluted. He waved to several gatekeepers who were stationed at the entrance of Mount Panlong. They promptly ran over, saluted Su Chen, and then guided him in. "Haha...hiccup!" The couple was left dumbfounded. The bystanders wore expressions of astonishment. "Wow, he's actually being respectfully welcomed into Mount Panlong. He must be a big shot!" "He's not just bragging; he must have real skills. I think those two people didn't recognize his abilities." "Do they have a problem with seeing others succeed?" ... Amidst some hushed murmurs, the blushing couple covered their faces and hurriedly left. Inside Mount Panlong, as they walked along the path, Su Chen wore a gentle smile. He gently pinched Luo Luo's rosy cheeks and said, "Luo Luo, this is a place Daddy owns, and in a few days, Daddy will start building a princess mansion just for you." "Um, ha, Daddy is the best! Daddy is a great hero!" Luo Luo spoke, her shiny eyes fixed on Su Chen, never blinking, full of admiration for her father. They say daughters are their fathers' little sweethearts, and this expression perfectly embodied that saying. Su Chen chuckled and shook his head. He walked ahead, carrying Luo Luo in his arms. The man in the suit, Xiao Zhao, followed a few meters behind, not daring to engage in too much conversation. The scenery within Mount Panlong was breathtaking, with two forests surrounding the area and occasional bird calls echoing through the air. On the left side of the expansive grassy field stood a stable. Su Chen spotted a group of majestic horses, each standing over two meters tall. "Come." Su Chen let out a whistle. The rope that held the black horse slid off, and the majestic black stallion leaped out of its enclosure with a graceful jump. It appeared to be following Su Chen's command as it approached, lifting its front legs high into the air. Such a dashing posture. Hiss! Xiao Zhao, the man in the suit, paled with fear. Dealing with this frenzied black horse was not going to be easy! It hadn't been tamed yet, and three trainers had already been injured by it! "Mr. Su, please be careful... Huh??" Just as Xiao Zhao was about to speak up, Su Chen effortlessly somersaulted onto the horse's back, and to everyone's amazement, the wild black stallion behaved as gently as a kitten! “Oh my God, how is this possible?” Xiao Zhao was left in a state of shock. "Yikes!" Luo Luo was startled, and she quickly buried her head in Su Chen's chest. "I'm scared..." Luo Luo's voice trembled as she spoke softly. Su Chen smiled and reassured her, "Luo Luo, just look around at the scenery, and you won't be scared." Luo Luo mustered up the courage to look around. "Oops!" "It's so high..." Luo Luo once again sought refuge in Su Chen's embrace. Su Chen chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Luo Luo. Daddy's here to protect you." After some comforting words, Luo Luo dared to open her eyes again and take in the surroundings. The horses began to move forward at a leisurely pace. Gradually, Luo Luo relaxed in her father's arms, feeling an unusual sense of security. "Wow, it's so high, Daddy, and it's getting faster..." Luo Luo started by just blinking and observing, but soon, she began to enjoy the increasing speed of the black horse. This gradual acceleration was something Luo Luo could accept. The little princess's lips started to curl upwards, and for the first time, she displayed a delighted expression. The horses galloped across the grassy field, and in her father's embrace, Luo Luo gradually raised her tiny hands and occasionally burst into laughter. "Hehe, Daddy, it's so fast!" "Wow wow..." In that moment, Luo Luo shed much of her previous vulnerability and finally wore a cheerful smile. Su Chen couldn't help but beam with relief. It seemed that it wouldn't take long for Luo Luo's personality to return to normal. This was Su Chen's first experience as a father, and he marveled at the powerful impact fathers had on their children. They rode their horses joyfully across the lawn, resembling an ancient general leading his troops into battle with unmatched grace. The black horse soon reached the end of the lawn, near a building where several very tall cameras were set up, and dozens of people were busy at work. Numerous cameras were pointed at a group of actors who were in the midst of filming. Suddenly, the gaze of these actors shifted toward Su Chen and his horse. "Cut! Cut! Cut!" Director Niu Hai stood up abruptly, his expression less than pleasant, and he shouted loudly, "Why are there still people here? Go and remove that person!" There were three staff members who immediately rushed over. It required a considerable effort to catch up with the black horse. "Who are you? Don't you know we're filming here? You just disrupted our actors!" The leading woman with a single ponytail had a somewhat sharp tone, expressing her dissatisfaction. Su Chen halted his horse. He gave a casual glance in her direction. Luo Luo, feeling a bit shy, clung tightly to Su Chen's neck, her expression slightly nervous. "Why are you yelling?" Xiao Zhao from behind quickly rushed over, frightened, and reprimanded, "Don't you know that Mr. Su is an esteemed guest of Mr. Li? Do you dare to show disrespect to Mr. Su? Do you believe I'll kick you out?" The ponytailed woman's face slightly changed, "Mr. Zhao?" The man in the suit, Xiao Zhao, was the general manager of Pan Long Shan management office, Mr. Zhao. Su Chen held Luo Luo with one hand and held the horse's reins with the other. He contemplated for a moment and had no intention of leaving. He wanted Luo Luo to witness more things, gain courage, and understand that some things required leading by example. "Luo Luo, you're Daddy's daughter. In this world, no one can bully you. If the other party is reasonable, we can persuade them with reason. If not, we'll apply pressure until they understand, okay?" "Um, Luo Luo understands," Luo Luo replied in a soft voice. Even though she didn't fully comprehend, she knew it was important to listen to her father. Otherwise, what if Dad suddenly disappeared? Su Chen glanced at the woman with the single ponytail and smiled faintly, saying, "You guys are working over there, and I'm just taking my horse for a walk here. How does that affect you?" The woman with the single ponytail was silent for a moment, then argued, "Your roaming around here distracts our actors..." "Are you sure this isn't your crew's problem?" Su Chen raised an eyebrow. Seeing the director approaching with others, she said, "Our actors are all professionals." "Heh." Su Chen chuckled, waving to General Zhao, and said, "Give them an hour to leave this place." "Yes, Mr. Su," General Zhao nodded promptly. Subsequently, Su Chen continued to ride with Luo Luo on the grassy field. The gentle breeze made Luo Luo's hair sway in the wind. She blinked, looking curiously at everything around her from within Su Chen's embrace. It seemed that with a father around, everything became less ordinary.
