Chu Yang naturally didn't shake hands with Hu Li, but simply nodded slightly.

Zheng Kuo took a document out of the file folder in his hand and handed it to Xiao Zhi.

"Old Xiao, you should sign this document."

Hu Li stepped forward and flipped directly to the last page.

"Honey, I've already seen them all."

As she spoke, she thoughtfully handed her a pen.

Without a second thought, Xiao Zhi immediately wanted to sign.

Chu Yang reached out and took the document, then frowned immediately.

"Confirmation letter for death benefits and accident insurance payout?"

Xiao Zhi was also taken aback.

Zheng Kuo laughed so hard that the fat on his face jiggled.

"Old Xiao, Lili has been married to you for half a year, and the beneficiary of your compensation is still your ex-wife. How do you expect Lili to feel? And this time at the competition, the bureau bought accident insurance for everyone as part of the assessment. Although it's just a formality and there's no danger, it's a matter of your attitude as her husband."

Xiao Zhi blushed and nodded, "Yes, yes, I almost died when I was attacked last time. If I had died then, Lili would have been all alone after we got married, without any stable livelihood."

He turned to Hu Li and said, "Wife, I'm sorry, it was my oversight."

Hu Li suddenly shed a few tears of grievance, but kept shaking her head.

"Honey, all I want is for you to be safe and sound. I don't want anything else."

Chu Yang's lips twitched, and he suddenly remembered that Zheng Kuo had said that Xiao Zhi and Hu Li got married half a year ago.

That should be the point in time when Xiao Zhi was poisoned by a curse.

"Old Xiao, you two seem quite affectionate. You must have been dating for a long time, right?"

Chu Yang asked tentatively.

Xiao Zhi smiled and said, "Actually, the depth of feelings has nothing to do with time. Lili and I had a whirlwind marriage. But just a few days after the wedding, I was attacked. It was Lili who took care of me day and night and accompanied me through the most difficult period."

Chu Yang nodded with a wry smile and handed over the document. As he watched Xiao Zhi sign it, he felt that Xiao Zhi seemed to have become much shorter.

"Old Xiao, is the arena okay?"

Xiao Zhi smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, I'm absolutely sure of success in the Dark Force category."

Chu Yang agreed with this statement, after all, Xiao Zhi used to be a master of internal energy transformation, and not someone who had reached that level through drug use.

Now that he's at the peak of his internal energy cultivation, he should be invincible among those in the same realm.

Just as Chu Yang was about to leave, he faintly sensed a terrifying aura unique to a Grandmaster coming from behind him.

He turned around and saw an old man in a gray robe standing at the end of the corridor, glaring angrily.

Chu Yang smirked. "Old man, what are you looking at?"

Zheng Kuo quickly gathered up the signed documents and went to greet them.

"Old Jiang, you've arrived so early?"

Jiang He's beard was already sticking up. He ignored Zheng Kuo and pointed at Chu Yang with his finger.

"Boy, if you've got guts, I'll spar with you after today's assessment!"

Chu Yang squinted, his smile amused.

"You don't deserve it!"

At this moment, Shen Tao, who had followed from behind, shouted angrily, "How dare you! How dare you disrespect Elder Jiang!"

Upon seeing Shen Tao, Chu Yang frowned slightly and looked at Zheng Kuo with a scrutinizing gaze.

"This guy was working with that chubby guy with glasses yesterday. Even if your law enforcement bureau doesn't arrest him, they should at least isolate and investigate him."

Zheng Kuo chuckled awkwardly, "Mr. Chu, it was Old Xiao who suggested that we not pursue this matter."

Xiao Zhi quickly explained, "Shen Tao and I did have some disagreements. But he was the one who introduced me to Lili. So..."

Chu Yang waved his hand, "I understand. I will definitely be there for the assessment this afternoon."

After saying that, he was about to leave when he was stopped by a gray figure that appeared in front of him like lightning.

"Kid, do you dare to accept the challenge?"

Chu Yang was speechless.

According to the rules of the martial arts world, juniors can challenge seniors.

It would be embarrassing for an old guy like Jiang He to challenge a young man.

However, Chu Yang saw a strong killing intent in Jiang He's eyes and couldn't help but think to himself, "Logically speaking, what happened yesterday shouldn't have caused this old guy to be so murderous. Could there be something else?"

Shen Tao then joined in the clamor, "If you don't dare to accept the challenge, kneel down and kowtow to Elder Jiang to apologize!"

Chu Yang has never been one to be led by the nose.

Not knowing why the other party would risk their reputation to challenge him, he wouldn't act rashly.

Besides, what's the point of beating an old man?

Not only would they not gain any benefits, but they would also easily attract the attention of the Chu family.

He scoffed dismissively, "If you've got the guts, attack me now, or shut up!"

Shen Tao was so choked up that he couldn't utter a single word.

Shooting?

Are you kidding me? That guy was too ruthless.

Jiang He naturally wouldn't take the initiative to attack, but could only shout at Chu Yang's back, "Chu Yang! You're just a coward! Just wait and see the show during the assessment today."

After leaving the law enforcement bureau, Chu Yang had many more things on his mind.

Xiao Zhi's wife not only cheated on him with Zheng Kuo, but was also introduced to him by Shen Tao.

What terrified him even more was that Xiao Zhi's whirlwind marriage seemed to be a long-planned conspiracy.

And then there was that old man who was like he'd been injected with chicken blood, insisting on a duel with him.

"It looks like this afternoon's ring is going to be very 'exciting'."

He hailed a taxi and soon arrived at Lü Wenguang's house at the agreed time.

The gatekeepers had been notified long ago and treated Chu Yang as an honored guest.

As Chu Yang crossed the courtyard, he was stopped by Lü Wenguang, who looked anxious, before he even reached the main hall.

"Mr. Chu, please come with me to the inner courtyard first and try to persuade Sisi. The guests have all arrived, but she refuses to come out and is waiting for you."

"Uh... the land reclamation project has been finalized?" Chu Yang stared at Lü Wenguang's expression.

Lu Wenguang sighed heavily. "I convened a meeting with all the relevant municipal officials last night. Don't worry about it. The special task force from the city hall is already discussing the specifics with the Su Group."

Chu Yang knew that Lü Wenguang had no reason to lie about this matter, and even if he did, he couldn't cover it up.

"Alright, let's do as agreed then."

Lu Wenguang instructed his servants to quickly take Chu Yang to the inner quarters, while he hurriedly returned to the main hall to entertain the guests.

Chu Yang stood in front of Lü Sisi's door, but before he could knock, the door was already opened.

Like a little bird, Lü Sisi flew straight into Chu Yang's arms.

"Brother Yang, I miss you."

"Well……"

Chu Yang didn't expect this little girl to be so enthusiastic.

"You sensed my arrival again?"

"Mmm!" Lu Sisi nodded vigorously. "Actually, it's not just you. I can feel it when other men get close. But you... are special. Whenever you're close, I feel especially comfortable."

Chu Yang stretched out his index finger and gently tapped Lü Sisi's head.

"Why don't you go out and see your fiancé? Why are you making such a fuss? You're driving your dad and brother crazy."

Lu Sisi burst out laughing.

"Brother Yang, you're so smart, why don't you think about it seriously?"

Chu Yang was stunned for a moment, carefully considering Lü Sisi's words.

He suddenly widened his eyes and stared at Lü Sisi with disbelief.

"You...you also know about the land reclamation project?"
