“I don’t know much of the details!” ng Quanshan said. “But, don’t you worry Mr. Chen, when we get back, I will ask the Ninth Young Lord to look into it and get the managent to confirm a date as soon as possible so that Mr. Chen can receive the reward!”
“Mmm, if that’s the case, I’ll just have be patient and wait for your good news.” Chen Xiaobei’s tone turned solemn, “Lady Wenren only has five months left to live. Please be quick about it!”
“Yes, certainly!” ng Qianshan saluted Chen Xiaobei with a fist in the palm, and then left.
After ng Qianshan left, soone who was not supposed to even approach Chen Xiaobei ca forward to see him.
That person was none other than the fat Zhu Dachang, Lu Changwei’s toad who had, ti and ti again, helped Lu Changwei cook up conspiracies.
Chen Xiaobei did not know this man very well, but he was certain that this fatty was an intelligent man.
“What is it that you’ve co to
to talk about?” Chen Xiaobei asked.
“Never lie before an honest man!” Zhu Dachang said earnestly. “I would like to join Mr. Chen!”
“Join ?” Chen Xiaobei eyed the man suspiciously. “Are you kidding ? Based on your relationship with Lu Changwei, don’t you want to take revenge on
for killing him?”
“Master Wei had always taken care of , but that’s an entirely different matter . This ti, he really did cross the line! If he had continued the way he did, he would have caused everyone here to die! That’s why I’m thinking that Mr. Chen killing him was the right choice!”
“Heh, that is a justified answer. But I won’t accept you!” Chen Xiaobei shrugged.
“Why? I swear to god that I will be loyal to you! If I harbor any ill intentions, I pray I’ll be struck by lighting and die a horrible death!”
“Heh, swearing? Do you really think that I would believe you just because you swear to god?” Chen Xiaobei asked.
“I know that Mr. Chen won’t believe
just like that! To prove my devotion, I’m willing to do anything for Mr. Chen! Just say the word. I would even die if that’s what is required of !”
“Then go ahead and die!” Chen Xiaobei looked at the man blankly.
“I…” Zhu Dachang was struck dumb.
“Oh, don’t look so innocent! When Lu Changwei wanted to kill
earlier, don’t tell
that you didn’t plot against .”
“Yes, I did. I did help Master Wei to conspire against you. If Mr. Chen wants
dead, then I’ll die!”
Chen Xiaobei did not respond. He simply stood aside and watched Zhu Dachang.
The fatty actually amassed his True Kang and was about to stab himself in the heart!
Chen Xiaobei himself was an Oscar-award winning actor. From the fatty’s expression and motions, Chen Xiaobei could tell that fatty was not acting. He really was going to end himself.
“Stop it! You might be worth more alive.” Chen Xiaobei ordered.
“Mr. Chen, does that an you accept ?”
Zhu Dachang looked delighted.
Chen Xiaobei ignored his question and instead asked. “Tell , what’s your intention of joining ? Why were you so ready to die?”
“To be honest, our Zhu family are just 3rd class citizens in Silver Plu. After mingling with Master Wei, we could only make it to 2nd class. I only served Master Wei so that our family could benefit from the association and not be bullied by others!” said Zhu Da Chang. “But as Master Wei is dead, the one million young people here including our very own young governor, the heirs of the Three-Star Temples and the heirs of hundreds and thousands of powerful families have recognized you as their great benefactor! If Mr. Chen does not accept , many people will co and oppress ! Quite frankly, I don’t mind dying but I cannot bear to drag my entire family into this. That’s why I’m willing to kill myself so that my family could have peace.”
Zhu Dachang had spoken passionately. It was clear to see that he did not make it up, but was speaking from his heart. He really was willing to sacrifice himself for his family.
“Mm, of all virtues, filial piety is most important! I believe you, for the ti being!” Chen Xiaobei nodded. “But, this does not an that I’ll accept you! If you want to join , then I want you to think of a way to infiltrate the Lu family’s internal affairs! The mont you earn the Lu Family’s trust is when I will accept you!”
“I understand! You want
to be your spy, to influence the Lu family at their own ga of chess when necessary!” Zhu Dachang was very smart and quickly understood Chen Xiaobei’s intention. “But, then that would an that our Zhu Family…”
“Your family will be oppressed. But I promise you that this will only be temporary!” Chen Xiaobei said. “Once, we are done screwing over the Lus, I guarantee that the Zhu family will beco the top-tier family!”
“Screwing over the Lu Family? How is that even possible?” Zhu Dachang looked doubtful. “The Lu Family has been in control of the South Town Star Temple for generations! They are wealthy and powerful, and the master of the house, Lu Mingjun and Lu’s ancestors have many powerful connections in the Temple, and are highly regarded by the Temple Overlord! They were even able to water down a massive issue like Atlantis! It’s going to be impossible to screw them over!”
Chen Xiaobei simply replied, “Don’t ask what you’re not supposed to ask! You don’t have to worry about the things that you needn’t worry about!”
“Uh…” Zhu Dachang swallowed fearfully.
“I killed Lu Changwei. The Lu Family will make
their enemy! I’m not afraid to reveal to you openly that my plan is to upend the Lu Family! As for how I am going to do that is a topic for another ti!” Chen Xiaobei breathed hard on him. “If you don’t dare to play this ga, then you can just leave! I will just pretend that you never said any of the things that you said, and I won’t hold you accountable!”
“I…” Zhu Dachang considered his options and then ca to a decision. “I won’t go! I must follow Mr. Chen!”
Chen Xiaobei raised an eyebrow at his reply. “Good! At least you have so guts! As long as you don’t let
down, I won’t let you or your family down!”
“Thank you very much Mr. Chen!” Zhu Dachang gave a low bow before he left.
“Lu Changwei is dead but I’m still able to plant a hidden chess piece in the Lu family!” Chen Xiaobei thought to himself. “My true strength has been revealed. This will surely draw a lot of trouble! But as long as I can overco the challenges and secure my position, my next step would be to kill all of Lu Family! This chess piece should be very useful!”
“Big Bro Chen!” Linghu Shuang approached, holding up her mask, and whispered, “My Sifu will arrive in three days. Would you like to co with us?”
“Go with you? To where? Are you planning to kidnap ?” Chen Xiaobei said cheekily.
