Chapter 139: Chapter 98: An Unexpected Joy

Chen Cheng considered for a mont, then said, "Chief Yan is concerned for his family’s safety. I can certainly relate."

A look of gratitude appeared in Yan Jian’s eyes. ’Chen Cheng is a true brother,’ he thought. But he never expected that Chen Cheng’s next words would nearly make him spit blood.

"However, I am sincerely devoted to Lord Shen. Since Lord Shen has already made arrangents, I will naturally follow her orders," Chen Cheng said earnestly.

"Very good!" Shen Qingshuang nodded slightly, clearly very satisfied with Chen Cheng’s reply. She then turned to Xiaoxing at her side. "Xiaoxing, bring the deeds and keys for the two Chief Constables."

"Yes." Xiaoxing complied, retrieving the prepared deeds and keys from a nearby cabinet and handing them to Chen Cheng and Yan Jian, respectively.

"Cuiping Street..." Yan Jian said in surprise, opening the deed in his hand and glancing at it.

Cuiping Street was located in the Lotus Pier area, which was within his jurisdiction, but it was not in the central part of Lishui District.

Cuiping Street was not far from the Zhou Family estate. The Zhou Family, backed by the Inner City Wang Family, had always been at odds with the Shen Family. If the Yan Family moved to Cuiping Street, they would likely face threats from the Zhou Family in the future.

Xiaoxing said, "Chief Yan, Miss Shen took into consideration the large size of the Yan Family and specially selected a grand, three-courtyard manor for you. It can house forty or fifty people with no issue. You should thank her at once."

Yan Jian felt bitter inside, but he cupped his fists in a salute and said, "Thank you, Miss Shen."

He turned his head and glanced at the deed in Chen Cheng’s hand. When he saw the two words "Bailu Avenue," boundless resentnt welled up in his heart.

Bailu Avenue was in the center of Lishui District, not far from the Lishui Sub-Departnt. It was not only much safer but also very conveniently located, making it the preferred neighborhood for the powerful and influential families of the district.

"Chief Chen, your residence may be smaller, but it can still house ten to twenty people," Xiaoxing added.

Chen Cheng understood the implication in her words. He also cupped his fists toward Shen Qingshuang and said, "Thank you, Lord Shen."

"Alright, you may go. When I have need of you, I will send soone to inform you," Shen Qingshuang said, waving her hand.

After Chen Cheng and Yan Jian had left, Shen Qingshuang glanced at the sly look on Xiaoxing’s face and asked, "Between Chen Cheng and Yan Jian, who do you think perford better?"

Xiaoxing tilted her head and thought for a mont before saying, "To have such Martial Arts Power at their young age, they are both very good."

Shen Qingshuang rolled her eyes at her and chided, "Who asked about their Martial Arts Power?"

Xiaoxing put on a confused expression and asked, puzzled, "Then what did you an, Miss?"

Shen Qingshuang’s expression turned stern. She chided, "You silly girl, how dare you play dumb with . Be careful, or I’ll make you face a wall for three days!"

"Miss, I was wrong!" Xiaoxing hurriedly begged for forgiveness. She continued, "Regarding this case involving the Wang Family, you turned their own plot against them. You secretly dispatched n to set up defenses, just waiting for the Wang Family to lose their patience and make a move. It was all so you could seize the opportunity to suppress their power. A truly farsighted plan.

The two Chief Constables were unaware of your good intentions. For them to co together so early asking for help, they have truly failed to appreciate your efforts to groom them.

Neither of them possesses your great wisdom. If I have to compare them, Chief Yan seems a bit rash, while Chief Chen appears more level-headed."

"Chen Cheng sent Mu Xiaowan to the Inner City a long ti ago, so naturally, he’s not anxious. The Yan Family is large, so it’s understandable that Yan Jian would be a bit impatient."

Shen Qingshuang shook her head, let out a soft sigh, and continued, "The Wang Family has cultivated a subordinate power like the Zhou Family in the South City District. I actually wanted to do the sa with the Yan and Chen Families. Unfortunately, they don’t seem to have realized that.

Especially Yan Jian. To think he wanted

to move the Yan Family into the Inner City... It’s truly disappointing."

...

「The next day.」

「Bailu Avenue, Jing’an Lane.」

Chen Cheng stood on the terrace, a faint smile on his face as he looked out at the vast Jishui Lake.

The Chen Family’s new ho was a two-courtyard residence, only slightly larger than their old one on Shisong Street in Ruyi District, but its layout was far more exquisite.

The front courtyard was close to the lane, while the main building in the rear courtyard was a rather unique two-story pavilion. The terrace where Chen Cheng now stood was atop this pavilion, situated right next to Jishui Lake, offering an expansive view and a tranquil environnt.

’Scoring a free residence from the Shen Family is a pleasant surprise!’ Chen Cheng muttered to himself. He then descended from the pavilion and began his Martial Dao Cultivation in the courtyard.
