The morning sunlight shone on Chen Feng's face.

Chen Feng slowly opened his eyes and shielded his eyes from the sunlight that filled the entire room.

Liu Siyu lowered the curtain in her hand and slowly walked from the window to Chen Feng's bedside. She said coolly to Chen Feng, "I didn't expect our Captain Chen to sleep until 11 o'clock."

Chen Feng was a little surprised.

However, my eyelids still felt heavy.

Perhaps because he often overexerts himself, once Chen Feng completely relaxes, his already exhausted body can lie flat for a whole day.

Chen Feng rubbed his eyes, but said with his eyes closed, "Can you let me sleep a little longer? Si Yu, I'm really tired these past few days."

"No, I'd better go to bed early tonight. You promised to take me out for breakfast!"

Liu Siyu immediately grabbed Chen Feng's hand and pulled him up from his sleep with a little force.

"Get up!!"

"I'm really fed up with you... I knew I shouldn't have brought you back..." Chen Feng sighed.

"You've brought me back! Get up!"

After Chen Feng finished washing up and dressed neatly, he had once again transformed into the formidable Earth-rank expert.

His appearance and demeanor were flawless, leaving no room for outsiders to find fault with him.

He's absolutely incredibly handsome!

"Mom and Dad, I took Chen Shuo and Si Yu out for breakfast. We'll come back for lunch."

"No problem, have fun. Your mom and I will cook you a big lunch," Mr. Chen said solemnly, putting down his newspaper and walking towards the kitchen.

"Dad, I still remember your cooking skills," Chen Feng said, reminiscing.

"Go! Go! If you keep talking, your dad's going to get all high and mighty," Chen's mother said with a sneer.

"Okay! We'll head out now."

Chen Feng closed the door to his house.

Turning his head, Chen Feng saw Liu Siyu and Chen Shuo, one big and one small, looking at him with longing.

"Chen Shuo, how about we go get some rice noodle rolls?"

"Brother, you're in charge."

"Let's go get some rice noodle rolls then. I don't want to drive anymore, I'm so sleepy." Chen Feng said, pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Brother, you're so lazy. Look at Sister Siyu, she's full of energy chatting with Mom and Dad first thing in the morning, and you can still sleep until 11 o'clock."

"Haha, that's right," Si Yu replied with a laugh.

"Sister Siyu doesn't have to do anything, of course she's full of energy..."

"Who said that?! I even helped Auntie take breakfast out, and I also helped Uncle fold the newspaper."

Hearing this, Chen Shuo was a little stunned and asked, "Sister Siyu, I saw you busy all morning, how come you only did this little bit?"

Liu Siyu gave a mischievous smile.

He then grabbed Chen Shuo with one arm and pulled him into his embrace.

Chen Shuo's face turned bright red instantly, as if he was caught off guard by Liu Siyu's sudden change in appearance.

"I was just teasing your brother Feng on purpose, but I'm actually very patient with you~"

...

As Chen Feng and Liu Siyu walked out of the courtyard, chatting and laughing.

But fate seemed to have quietly orchestrated an unexpected encounter at that moment.

A group of men in smart suits were walking towards us from one end of the alley.

Most of them wore impeccably tailored navy blue suits, their crisp lines as if measured with a ruler, without the slightest wrinkle or excess fabric.

Their military boots, with their gleaming surfaces, seemed to carry a steady, powerful force with every step they took.

Moreover, they were all tall and upright, with postures as straight as pine trees.

Even their slow, deliberate approach exuded a formidable fighting spirit.

Chen Feng's face remained as calm as a still lake, without a ripple.

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, but with a slight movement of his fingers, he directly opened the potential data of the man in the suit.

[Name: Xi Wohua]

[Background: Captain of the Chao Family Guard]

[Class: Warrior]

[Rank: Mystic Rank 8]

[Skills: Energy Clash, Chao Family Martial Arts]

[Review: A decent servant]

After bowing respectfully, the man in the suit began to explain his purpose.

"Captain Chen, the head of the Chao family would like to invite you to dinner at Longfeng Restaurant at 8 pm tonight to discuss cooperation matters."

The man, dressed in a sharp suit, spoke with a gentle yet clear voice.

While speaking eloquently, she gracefully accepted the exquisite invitation from her companion.

With just the right amount of etiquette, the invitation was solemnly handed to Chen Feng.

"My family head has made it clear that this meeting will benefit both the Chen and Chao families, and hopes that Captain Chen will not refuse."

Chen Feng smiled.

Although he had no idea what the Chao family head was up to.

However, the Chao family is a prominent family in Haixing City, and their warm invitation to Chen Feng could not possibly be a trap.

Chen Feng: "The Chen family is not a prominent family, but please inform your family head that I will definitely be there tonight."

Captain Chao bowed respectfully again.

"I will go and report back to the head of the family immediately, and I will convey your words without missing a single one."

After completing his mission, the captain of the Chao family guards immediately led his men away.

But they didn't stop for even a moment.

Clearly, his target was Chen Feng, who had just returned home yesterday.

There are two purposes behind this action: one is to demonstrate the intention to cooperate with Chen Feng, and the other is to express interest in him.

However, at the same time, the head of the Chao family seemed to be telling Chen Feng that he knew Chen Feng's background and that the people could support him but also overthrow him.

After the Chao family's servants left.

Chen Feng looked thoughtfully at Liu Siyu beside him.

"Siyu, your Liu family and the Chao family are on good terms. I'd like to hear your opinion on this matter."

Liu Siyu pursed her lips, but her eyes were extremely clear.

"Chao Family has always been committed to providing water filtration systems and water diversion projects for major cities. The cost they spend on recruiting various people is no less than that of Jian Family. I guess tonight's dinner party may just be a gesture of goodwill towards us, and may not necessarily have any ulterior motives."

Chen Feng didn't speak, but he thought of something.

Among the 36 cities of the Great Xia Kingdom, Haixing City has always ranked in the middle to lower range in terms of strength.

Logically, an underground city shelter should not have been built beneath this city. However, in reality, the area beneath Starfish City became one of the eight major underground cities of the Great Xia Kingdom, and it was among the first cities to be restored after the era of the colossal beasts.

The Great Xia Kingdom's emphasis on Starfish City was truly incomprehensible even to Chen Feng, who had read extensively about Starfish City's history.

"As the manufacturer of the water supply system, they must be very familiar with the structure of the super-giant dungeon. Moreover, the most valuable core of the control room has been stolen, and the precision instruments inside have also lost their protection. I guess the purpose of this dinner is most likely to target the dungeon."

"Brother, do you mean they want to resell the equipment from the underground city?" Chen Shuo asked, puzzled.

Chen Feng smiled and patted Chen Shuo on the shoulder.

"I don't know yet, but your sister Siyu and I will investigate tonight."

"So, are we still going to eat rice noodle rolls now?" Chen Shuo then asked.

"certainly!"
