Starting as an infant, with parents who are blond-haired delinquents?

Bai Lu and Huang Feng became even more enthusiastic, turning their attention to Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei, hoping to appeal to their emotions. However, it seemed that the latter two had forgotten that they had met Bai Lu and Huang Feng once before.

Passengers who had just disembarked and vehicles that were picking them up all dared not approach them.

"I told you, those two with dragon and tiger tattoos don't look like good people. Look, they've attracted these armed vehicles!"

"I recognize it. That thing is the official vehicle of the Extraordinary Management Bureau and the Alien Beast Investigation Bureau. Did those guys do something wrong that these two groups came knocking on their door?"

"The Bureau of Exotic Beast Investigation? That name sounds familiar yet unfamiliar. Aren't they supposed to be handling an exotic beast incident? What's going on here? Could that dog be an exotic beast?"

Among the crowd were many knowledgeable martial artists who knew the main tasks of the Bureau of Exotic Beast Investigation and were even more familiar with the exotic beasts that had existed since ancient times.

Most other people, however, simply asked in bewilderment, "What are these strange beasts?"

"Wait a minute, if they've done something wrong, they should just be arrested. Why are they still talking and exchanging ideas? Something's not right. And that administrator is even laughing?"

Several martial artists who were relatively close could clearly see that the two groups were trying to curry favor with Zhang Chaoqiang and his group of five.

Old Chen didn't say anything, letting Zhang Chaoqiang handle it himself. He naturally knew the intentions of these two groups, and his information network was exceptionally advanced.

"Mr. Chen, this..."

The hired driver was just an ordinary person who had never seen such a scene before. When the two heavily armored vehicles approached, he had already considered running away because their aura was too strong.

"Why don't you find someone else?"

Just as the driver finished saying his polite way of declining Old Chen's offer, Zhang Chaoqiang, caught between the two groups of people, greeted them one by one.

Then, with a casual remark that he didn't want to go anywhere, he temporarily declined their invitation and, along with Shen Qiangwei, Zhang Huolong, and the wolfhound, got into the black seven-seater van.

Old Chen gave the driver a wink, and the driver immediately jumped in, started the engine, and did so in one smooth motion. Ten seconds later, all that was left for them was a trail of exhaust fumes!

administrator:"……"

Bai Lu Huang Feng: "..."

Even emotional appeals don't work?

They exchanged a glance, their eyes burning with intense passion.

At this moment, even units that were all subordinate to the central government were in a state of almost life-or-death competition.

With a snort, they each drove away.

During his stay in Zhongzhou City, Zhang Chaoqiang will see which organization has the strength to win his favor.

It's really funny, really. Countless people want to get into this prestigious company but can't, yet he racked his brains and still couldn't win Zhang Chaoqiang's favor.

In a business car.

Old Chen, who was supposed to be in the driver's seat, was replaced by someone else today, which is quite rare.

Not only today, but until he returns to Tianan City, Lao Chen will be able to temporarily shed his identity as a driver.

However, his role among the five is still that of a butler.

The five people and one dog were heading to a five-star hotel in the central district. The central district is located in the city center of Zhongzhou, making it very convenient to reach various attractions; it can be described as an area with excellent transportation links.

Of course, Zhang Chaoqiang secretly glanced at the hotel where they were going to stay. A suite alone would cost nearly 3000 yuan a day, not to mention that this time they had booked a luxurious presidential suite with three bedrooms, a living room, and a swimming pool...

Zhang Chaoqiang didn't see the price on the table, and sometimes not seeing the price is the scariest thing.

"I haven't seen enough of the world." Zhang Chaoqiang covered his face, thinking that he was already very wealthy with two million yuan in his pocket.

In reality, among martial artists, Zhang Chaoqiang's assets are probably nothing more than those of a penniless nobody just starting out.

They refrained from letting Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei know the hotel's price, otherwise they would have gone crazy.

If they found out, the group wouldn't be able to enjoy their trip for the next few days; their minds would be filled with thoughts of hotel rooms that cost thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan a night.

It took an hour and a half for the group to get to their hotel from the airport.

"Wow, this looks like a castle!"

Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei were instantly amazed. Who could have imagined that the two hotels were decorated like royal palaces and castles in England?

The sharp, reddish-brown tower tops adorn the architectural scene that seems to only appear in fairy tales.

At that moment, Zhang Chaoqiang understood the main reason why Lao Chen chose this place.

It's probably not just the convenient transportation that's the reason; another important factor is that the hotel's style perfectly matches Old Chen's British temperament and attire.

"This is the second time we've seen the castle, honey!"

Shen Qiangwei remembers the first time she saw the magnificent castle she had dreamed of since childhood, at Zhang Chaoqiang's kindergarten. And this scene is her second time seeing it.

"There will be a third time soon. We're going to Disneyland in a few days. There are several bigger castles there!"

They walked hand in hand into the hotel, speaking softly to each other.

As expected of a five-star hotel, even the security personnel at the entrance are at least fourth-level martial artists…

A line of reception staff, upon seeing Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong approaching, especially with the surrounding British aristocratic-style architecture contrasting beautifully with Zhang Huolong's red Want Want print suit and Shen Qiangwei's mink punk dark coat...

They felt as if they had defecated in a pot of plain porridge...

As the two approached, the security personnel immediately went on high alert: "Sir and Madam, please stand there!"

It was obvious that they thought Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei were there to cause trouble. Just then, Zhang Chaoqiang, Lao Chen, and their companions turned the corner and witnessed the scene.

"Mr. Chen!"

Upon seeing the group arrive, the lobby manager immediately reprimanded the security personnel from before. Even the extremely oblivious Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong hadn't had time to react to what had just happened...

The lobby manager immediately waved his hand, angrily telling them to leave. The other party didn't even have time to ask any questions and left as instructed.

So, during the negotiation with Old Chen, the lobby manager addressed Zhang Chaoqiang in front of everyone, saying, "Mr. Zhang Chaoqiang, personnel from the Extraordinary Management Bureau and the Alien Beast Investigation Bureau have already come and paid for your remaining expenses at the hotel. This..."

"Give it back to them," Zhang Chaoqiang said.

The lobby manager apologized, "I'm afraid that won't work. Their director has given a firm order; if we back out, it will put us in a difficult position..."

There is also a clear realization that the so-called five-star hotels in the city center of the capital are nothing special under the jurisdiction of the two central government agencies.

"..."

And so, the five people and one dog checked in.

At Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei's strong suggestion, they chose the top floor, which offers a panoramic view of the entire Zhongzhou City and its city center.

The presidential suite is 500 square meters in total, and the hotel is fully equipped with all kinds of facilities, including a small amusement park, swimming pool, gym, buffet restaurant, mahjong room, karaoke room, sports hall, etc.

They had only stayed here for less than one night when Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei went off on their own date, running around here and there for several hours without managing to uncover even a fraction of the hotel's secrets.

"Where else are we going? I think we can just stay in the hotel for the next few days. This place is simply paradise!"

Under the arrangement of the lobby manager, Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong were taken to the top platform of the castle.

That place is usually off-limits to guests or anyone else.

As for why they were able to go up, it was only because Shen Qiangwei accidentally mentioned to the lobby manager that she didn't know which spot was the best for stargazing.

Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei went on a date, while Zhang Chaoqiang and Tan Yue disappeared somewhere, leaving Old Chen all alone in the hotel.

After looking left and right to make sure that Zhang Chaoqiang, Shen Qiangwei, and the other two were very far away from him...

He then furtively began to peel open his suitcase layer by layer, like peeling an onion.

Until, at the very innermost layer, there is another mysterious layer of protection.

After entering several passwords, the camera clicked.

A pair of bright red four-corner swim trunks appeared in his hand.

"Grandpa Chen, are you married? Do you have someone you like? Have you ever been in a relationship?"

Zhang Chaoqiang's words had deeply hurt Old Chen. Courage is always a fine quality of a martial artist.

Ever since.

The hotel's sixth basement level houses the senior citizens' swimming pool area.

A variety of elderly women are swimming and playing in the water.

The sound of splashing water was very clear, and a figure wearing bright red swimming trunks and with bronze muscles appeared in front of those still attractive middle-aged women.

Chapter 158 Gate City

rich.

It has power.

Are you still worried about not finding a wife?

But Old Chen is truly an exception.

It all started when I was a child.

Born into a family of martial arts masters, Old Chen's family has been generals who have guarded the country's borders and resisted the invasion of demonic beasts for generations.

However, in this day and age, calling them generals might seem a bit old-fashioned and outdated, but their family's status throughout the generations has indeed been that of a general.

His grandfather is still a high-ranking and powerful general in the Central Kingdom.

Similarly, once you reach the highest levels of the national government, your age and seniority already carry considerable weight.

The Chen family has a tradition of wholeheartedly serving the country and diligently studying martial arts.

From the day he was born, he was destined for martial arts. He learned horse stance at the age of three, standing meditation at the age of five, and formally began practicing martial arts at the age of ten. After activating his inner spiritual power at the age of twelve, his strength continued to rise rapidly, making him invincible among his peers.

He's bald, but he's also become stronger.

Actually, Old Chen's current head of smooth silver hair is a wig.

It seems that since the founding of the nation, the founders have treated the Chen family well, so the ancestors made an oral decree in the family genealogy.

Throughout the Chen family's history, every generation has dedicated themselves to martial arts. Before the age of one hundred, they must not harbor any impure thoughts and must strive to cultivate their skills to serve their country.

The period before the age of one hundred is crucial for cultivating martial arts. If one cannot achieve certain accomplishments before the age of one hundred, then it is basically impossible to have a smooth and unobstructed path in martial arts for a long time.

The Chen family bloodline doesn't need to worry about these things, so they can just focus on their cultivation.

As a result of years of continuous training, and with the Chen family having only one son per generation, they are basically among the few strongest martial artists in the Central Kingdom.

As for why Old Chen, who has the family motto of serving the country, can still help take care of Tan Yue and act as her family's housekeeper and driver out of consideration for Tan Yue's mother, he is so leisurely and does not need to participate in the front line or guard the country's borders.

That's because he's too inexperienced; it's not his turn yet.
