âMr. Qin, what do I need to learn?â asked Chen Hao.
âYou have to learn everything that I know, so take your time. Chen Hao, you have a good physique. For the past seven days, I have picked these herbs especially for you. You just need to soak yourself in these herbs to strengthen your physique, coupled with my acupuncture treatment, you can rest assured that I will make you into a skilled fighter!â
âYou were picking these herbs for me the past seven days?â
Chen Hao was extremely touched when he heard this.
He couldn't help but think back to their first meeting, and his attitude toward Mr. Qin then. At the same time, he also recalled the help that Mr. Qin gave him whenever he was around.
Even now, Mr. Qin still had his best interest at heart.
Although Mr. Qin wasnât his real grandfather, Chen Hao felt closer to him compared to his own.
At that moment, in order to live up to Mr. Qin's expectations, Chen Hao nodded his head solemnly.
Hence, Chen Hao stayed behind in the village and followed Mr. Qin wherever he went.
In a blink of an eye, six months had passedâ¦
At this moment, in the Chen familyâs secret room in the Southern region.
âAre there any news of Chen Hao?â
Over the past six months, Chen Jindong looked much older now. Even his hair had turned white.
On the other hand, Yang Yuping had been crying every single day.
âMaster, when I was escorting Young Master Chen to the Southwest region back then, we were pursued by some forces there whereby I stayed behind to protect Young Master Chen. I only knew that he went to a village to seek out an elderly person with the surname Qin. After Miss Su told me the address, I secretly went there a couple of times. However, that place had long been evacuated, and they had disappeared without a trace.â
Li Zhenguo had not been sitting around idly, instead, he had been secretly looking for Chen Hao for the past six months.
Unfortunately, after searching for half a year, it seemed that Young Master Chen had vanished from the surface of the Earth. There was no news of his whereabouts at all.
âItâs all your fault. If you had been tougher back then, Chen Hao wouldnât have to leave the family. As of now, we donât even know whether he is dead or alive,â said Yang Yuping anxiously.
Chen Xiao cried as she tried to console her mother.
âChen Hao did not bring along his identity card, and he lost his bank cards as well. Moreover, he is being hunted by that b*stard, Mo Changkong. Where could he have hid himself? What if he had already fallen into Mo Changkongâs hands,â said Yang Yuping as she got more frightened.
âI donât think so. If Chen Hao had fallen into Mo Changkongâs hands, he would definitely use Chen Hao to threaten me at the first opportunity. He had been making up excuses these past six months, but he hasnât found him yet, right? Otherwise, Chen Hao would have definitely been his biggest bargaining chip. By then, he knows that we would cooperate with him. Hence, he would have threatened us earlier if he had found Chen Hao,â said Chen Xiao.
âXiao is right. Donât worry, I believe in our son. He will definitely be alright. Su Ziyue, can you help your aunt back to her room to rest?â said Chen Jindong.
Su Ziyue also shed some tears as she stood by the sides. At that moment, she nodded her head and said, âYes, uncle.â
âOk, everybody, please leave now. I need some time alone,â said Chen Jindong.
After everybody left, Chen Jindong put his hands behind his back. His face was filled with sorrow.
âChen Hao, where have you hidden yourself? If I had known earlier that this would happen, I would have sacrificed everything than let you take such a huge risk upon yourself.â
Chen Jindongâs original plan wasâ¦
Although Chen Hao had severed his ties with the Chen family, how could he just leave him be like that?
He would have definitely sent out the Chen familyâs best fighters to protect him in secret. In short, he would not allow Mo Changkong to find an excuse to harm him.
It wasnât a difficult plan.
However, not only did he overestimate the ability of the skilled fighters he had trained over the past few years, he had severely underestimated Mo Changkongâs subordinates as well.
That night in the Qing City six months ago, if it werenât for his subordinatesâ indomitable attitude, Chen Hao wouldnât have been able to escape.
Chen Jindong clenched his fists.
Although he was rich, he finally came to realize that money wasnât everything.
He did not know what to do anymore. He really had no idea at all!
âMaster!â
At this moment, his butler, Fu, walked in.
âWhatâs wrong?â
âMo Jian from the Mo family took a liking to the Cloud Mansion that the Young Master bought in Jin Ling. He wants to know how much you are willing to sell it for.â
âYou mean Mo Changkongâs third son, Mo Jian?â
Chen Jindong clenched his fists.
âThatâs him.â
âHaha! In the past six months, has he ever stopped asking for things? He wants to buy the mansion?
Hah! Isnât his intention clear enough? Tell him I am not selling it!â
Chen Jindong slammed the table heavily.
In terms of the assistance provided by the Mo family to the Chen family in pursuing the League of the Sun, although Mo Changkong could not find an excuse to intervene in this matter, he managed to get his third son into Mo Weipingâs team by using the excuse that this was a good opportunity to allow his son to hone his skills.
However, Mo Jian started plundering everything the moment he arrived. Chen Jindong could only grit his teeth and tolerate him again and again.
At that moment, he bellowed in anger.
âBut Master, Mo Changkong had already been keeping an eye on the Chen family for a long time. In addition to that, if Mo Jian is not satisfied and starts causing trouble, it would be very bothersome,â said the butler helplessly.
âFine, give it to him. Iâll leave this matter to you then.â
Chen Jindong waved his hands impatiently.
8 billion was nothing in Chen Jindongâs eyes.
However, he was pissed with Mo Jianâs approach.
Alas, he did not have a choice now.
âSo, how did it go? Did Chen Jindong agree to it?â
Outside, a rich Young Master was seen sitting with one leg over the other as he casually savored his tea.
âNice to meet you, Young Master Mo. Our Master said that since you like the Cloud Mansion so much, he will give it to you as a gift. There is no need for you to buy it.â
Although the butler said those words, he could not wait to eat this b*stard alive.
âExcellent. I see that Chen Jindong understands the situation that he is in. Everyone, letâs go then.
Letâs leave this boring Southern region and go to Jin Ling to enjoy ourselves for a few days.â
With that, Mo Jian strutted away with his subordinates.
At the same moment, in a small-town restaurant in the Southwest regionâ¦
The restaurant was almost similar to a farmhouse as there was a vast expanse of mountains beside it, and a huge river could be seen snaking across the other side of the mountain. It was indeed an enchanting scenery.
Therefore, there were often many so-called upper-class people who came here to travel and explore the surroundings.
âYou better give me a f*cking explanation today! Do you know how expensive my clothes are? Thatâs right. Get your boss over here! Damn it, I see that you are tired of living!â
A woman in her thirties with heavy makeup was seen grabbing the collar of a young man. Instead of releasing her grip, she started scolding him in a loud voice.
What happened was, a group of seven to eight men and women came to this restaurant to have their meals. They did not look like good people at all. Alas, the young man, who was the waiter responsible for bringing them their food, had accidentally spilled some vegetable soup over the womanâs body.
Hence, they ended up that way.
More importantly, it was because these people thought that the boss of this restaurant was an easy target.
âI am sorry! I really am sorry! Here, I will clean it for you.â
The young man quickly apologized and proceeded to clean up the mess he made.
Slap!
Unexpectedly, the woman gave the young man a slap on his face. âDamn it, you better take your grubby hands off me. Look at you! How dare you touch me?! Mr. Biao, look at his attitude!â said the woman in a rude and unreasonable manner.
At the same time, she turned to look at the hunk beside her, who had a buzz cut and a tattoo of a dragon.
Slam!
The hunk walked up toward the young man and gave him a kick to the stomach. The young man was sent flying, knocking into a few tables and chairs.
At this moment, many people were having their meals in the restaurant. They could only stare in shock at the scene before them.
