My Ares Son-in-Law

Chapter 6377 Fishing Legend
Xiao Chen strode out of the Jiang family's gate. The bright sunlight shone on his resolute face, but it failed to dispel the slight disappointment in his heart due to the failure to reach a cooperation. However, his thoughts were soon occupied by another more urgent matter - to find Sophie's heirloom.

In his opinion, the treasure is not only the precious memory of the Sophie family, but also the key to solving a series of mysteries. To get it back, he must find the shrewd Haidong Taifu Cai Lin.

He hurried towards the mansion where Cai Lin usually lived. Along the way, the noisy voices and traffic on both sides of the street became a vague background sound. In his mind, he repeatedly outlined the scene of meeting with Cai Lin, carefully weighing every possible response strategy.

He knew very well that Cai Lin was no ordinary person and it would take some effort to take the treasure back from him.

However, when Xiao Chen finally arrived at Cai Lin's residence, the scene before him made him pause. The two red lacquered doors were tightly closed, and the copper rings on the doors shone coldly in the sunlight. The surroundings were dead silent, with no sign of human presence.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door, but the sound echoed in the silent air, but no response was received. He had an ominous premonition in his heart, and walked around the mansion, trying to find a clue from the side door or other ways, but all was in vain.

He asked the neighbors around him, not sparing anyone who might know Cai Lin's whereabouts. But everyone shook their heads, saying that they had not seen Cai Lin for many days, as if this old fox had disappeared from the world overnight, leaving no trace.

Xiao Chen stood there, frowning, feeling helpless and unwilling. He realized that it would be extremely difficult to get Sophie's heirloom back in the short term.

But Xiao Chen did not panic because of this. With his rich experience and keen insight accumulated over the years, he quickly calmed down and began to analyze the current situation. He knew that since Cai Lin had coveted the treasure for a long time, how could he give it up easily?

According to Sophie's previous description, the key to activating the treasure lies in herself. In this case, Cai Lin is very likely to attack Sophie to achieve his ulterior motives. Thinking of this, Xiao Chen's heart tightened, and a strong sense of responsibility surged in his heart. He must ensure Sophie's safety.

At this time, Xiao Chen happened to learn that Su's Pharmaceutical's pharmaceutical factory in Dongcheng was on track and operating stably. As the helmsman of the entire Su's Group, Su Fei's long-term stay in another place would not only have an adverse impact on the group's daily management and strategic decision-making, but also put her in a dangerous situation at all times. After careful consideration, Xiao Chen decided to let Su Fei temporarily leave this place of trouble and return to Tianhai.

So Xiao Chen personally escorted Sophie on her return journey. Along the way, he was alert and alert, always paying attention to every move around him, not missing any suspicious signs. He knew that Cai Lin's power was complicated, and there might be a pair of eyes watching them in the dark. After arriving at Tianhai, Xiao Chen's tense nerves relaxed a little.

Today, under his careful planning and painstaking management, all forces in Tianhai are basically under his control. Even if Haidong Taifu Cai Lin has great abilities, it is difficult for him to stir up trouble in this land.

After sending Sophie back safely, Xiao Chen did not hesitate at all and resolutely returned to East City again. His goal had not yet been achieved, and there were still many things waiting for him to deal with in East City. He could not give up halfway.

At the factory clinic today, he only holds a nominal position, and other professional doctors are responsible for treating patients and saving lives. He does not receive a salary, and this identity is just a cover he leaves for himself so that he will not be so conspicuous when he acts in secret.

The peaceful days did not last long. On this day, Xiao Chen's phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw Jiang Yixue's name on the screen. After the call was connected, Jiang Yixue's clear and pleasant voice came over, saying that she was going to talk to him about cooperation. Xiao Chen was slightly startled after hearing this, and the resolute expression on Jiang Huan's face when he refused to cooperate that day instantly emerged in his mind. He was full of curiosity and couldn't help asking, "Did your father agree to cooperate?"

Jiang Yixue's crisp laughter came from the other end of the phone. There was a bit of playfulness and confidence in that laughter, as if it could penetrate the receiver and infect the surrounding air: "Mr. Xiao, you are wrong. I am cooperating with you in the name of my own company, not the Jiang family."

Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he asked cheerfully: "That's fine, where shall we meet?"

"Let's meet at my place and go fishing. We can talk while fishing." Jiang Yixiu suggested with a smile. Her words were full of ease and comfort, as if she treated this cooperation negotiation as a relaxing gathering.

"Fishing? I've never fished before." When Xiao Chen heard Jiang Yixiu's suggestion, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, a helpless look on his face.

Fragments of his past life flashed through his mind. In those days, he was either engaged in arduous training in martial arts or dealing with various forces and handling difficult problems. Fishing, a leisurely and relaxing activity, seemed to be incompatible with his world.

At this moment, he seemed to see himself standing by the river, at a loss, holding the fishing rod clumsily, and the bitter smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious.

"If you've never fished before, this is a good opportunity to learn! You don't know what's going on in this river. Suddenly, there are so many strange fish. Some of them are so powerful that they can rival the legendary monsters. If you can catch one, you'll make a fortune!"

Jiang Yixue's eyes sparkled as she explained excitedly, her tone full of excitement. As she spoke, she gestured with her hands, trying to make Xiao Chen imagine what those strange fish looked like.

“Who knows, you might get lucky and catch a fish that’s glowing with mysterious light and is powerful beyond imagination. That would be big news!” She smiled brightly, full of anticipation for the upcoming fishing trip.

"Okay, I'll go over right away." Xiao Chen listened to Jiang Yixue's vivid description, and his curiosity grew stronger. He knew that after the Warrior Era, the whole world had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Those who were once rejected by the martial arts have now embarked on the path of cultivation, and some have even successfully cultivated powerful powers such as internal energy, dragon veins, and dragon pills. In such an environment, it is not impossible for animals to mutate.

Those legendary fish that were comparable to monsters might really be waiting to be discovered in that water. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look forward to this fishing trip and decided to experience this novel experience.
