Chen Haoxuan suddenly pushed Abel aside and quickly struck him with a knife-hand blow, knocking him unconscious. This was the best course of action; if he hadn't done this, Chen Haoxuan would have been doomed to be assaulted by Abel today.
Carrying Abel, Chen Haoxuan hurried towards New City University. As he brought Abel into the university, many students looked at him with surprise, questioning whether he had done something disgraceful to Abel. They speculated but none dared to ask or intervene.
Chen Haoxuan took Abel to the university's infirmary. Being a prestigious university, there were staff on duty twenty-four hours a day. The doctor was a middle-aged woman, so there was no worry about Abel causing any trouble.
Chen Haoxuan instructed the nurse to take good care of Abel before leaving. He returned home to Jiang Xianghan's place, and when he arrived, both Jiang Xianghan and Han Yuanchan thought Chen Haoxuan looked like a beggar, as he was disheveled and dirty.
After taking a hot shower, Chen Haoxuan emerged wearing only his underwear and asked Jiang Xianghan and Han Yuanchan to help him remove some splinters from his skin.
Jiang Xianghan and Han Yuanchan complained about Chen Haoxuan not taking care of himself and questioned why he would go save a stranger. They suggested that calling the police would have been a better option.
Once Jiang Xianghan and Han Yuanchan carefully removed all the splinters from his body, Chen Haoxuan felt itchy and decided to take another hot shower.
That night, Chen Haoxuan spent time with Jiang Xianghan and Han Yuanchan.
The next day was Monday, and Chen Haoxuan returned to New City University early. When he drove up to the entrance, he was blocked by Abel. As soon as Chen Haoxuan parked his car, Abel immediately jumped into the vehicle.
Chen Haoxuan drove to the parking lot and then asked Abel in the car, "What do you want?"
"Chen Haoxuan, you saved me yesterday. We Americans love heroes, and I'm no exception. I like you and want to be your girlfriend," Abel said earnestly.
"I'm sorry, but I already have a girlfriend named Chen Yina; you should know that," Chen Haoxuan replied with a wry smile.
"In modern times, it's normal for a man to have several girlfriends; I don't mind that you have one," Abel said generously. Americans are known for being mature; they start dating in elementary school and generally have a casual attitude towards relationships—if they're happy together, that's enough; if they get bored, they simply part ways.
"The problem is that I do care! I am someone who takes love very seriously, and I don't want my love to be something that changes constantly. What I need is a true love," Chen Haoxuan said with a bitter smile.
"Then are you still with Zhou Kexin and the others...?" Abel started to say but suddenly stopped, quickly covering her mouth. She thought to herself, "Oh no, how could I mention his relationship with Zhou Kexin and the others? Only they know about it."
Chen Haoxuan was not particularly surprised. Foreign agents are similar to China's Dragon Group; they have the capability to know these secrets and find it strange because they can eavesdrop on conversations over the phone, install listening devices or tiny cameras in places you wouldn't expect, and may even send skilled individuals to follow you.
Chen Haoxuan understood what Abel was referring to, so he pretended not to understand and said, "Zhou Kexin and I are good friends; this is something all the faculty and students at New City University know."
"I was just saying that randomly, Chen Haoxuan. Let me ask you something serious: what do you think of the United States?" Abel asked earnestly.
Without thinking, Chen Haoxuan replied, "It's not as good as China."
"Why?" Abel asked curiously. People from all over the world want to go to the United States, yet Chen Haoxuan said it's not as good as China, which confused her.
"Because I am Chinese! I was born in China; China is my home. No matter how bad it is, I still feel it's the best," Chen Haoxuan said earnestly.
Hearing Chen Haoxuan's response, Abel noted his patriotic sentiment. This was not what she wanted to see; the more Chen Haoxuan loved China, the less opportunity she had to collaborate with him.
"I have an uncle who holds a high position at Harvard in the United States. If you're willing, I can recommend you to him for a position as Chief Professor at Harvard," Abel said seriously.
"What would I need to do?" Chen Haoxuan asked with a smile.
"You just need to impart your knowledge to the students, and you'll become one of the leading figures in the cultural world," Abel explained.
Haha... Chen Haoxuan laughed. Let him go to Harvard as Chief Professor; that position is significant, but it offers him no benefits at all. If he wants fame, he has the Qianfo Stone Pagoda Website, which is enough. If he wants money, he can just do business. Even selling his technology would be better than receiving a salary from someone else. He would still have to watch others' expressions. As for status, with Chen Haoxuan's abilities and his knowledge from Future Century, it would be easy for him to become a high-ranking official.
"Hahaha... You think just being a Chief Professor is enough to make me help you train talents? Do you think I'm a fool for saying that?" Chen Haoxuan said.
"No, no, that's not what I mean. I sincerely want to invite you to help my uncle, and I truly value your abilities. If you want me, you're welcome anytime," Abel quickly explained.
"Helping you train talents in the United States brings me no benefits. However, if I were in China and trained countless talents, that would be impressive. As for fame, I have the Qianfo Stone Pagoda Website; if I shout a few times outside, countless people will recognize me. For money, I have a business mind. If I want money, I'll earn it myself; that way, I can spend it comfortably without having to watch others' faces. Regarding status, for someone like me, if I want power, it's easy. If you want to offer yourself to me, I'm sorry to tell you that you're not my type," Chen Haoxuan said calmly.
Abel was not discouraged; she pressed on, "Then what do you want?"
"If you let me sit as the President of the United States, I might consider it," Chen Haoxuan replied with a smile.
"Gah... He actually wants to be the President of the United States? This person's ambition is too great. If it weren't for the mysterious person behind you that I don't know about yet, I would definitely kill you to prevent someone like you from opposing the United States," Abel thought secretly.
"Hehe... You really know how to joke," Abel pretended to smile.
"You too! Let's go! We have class," Chen Haoxuan said with a smile.
