"I underestimated Tiansheng."

Chen Yuanshan leaned back in the armchair in his study, his face displaying a complex expression of anger and relief.

The anger stemmed from the fact that Chen Tiansheng had murdered Chen Huo.

This could push Chen Huo further away from the Chen family, greatly reducing the possibility of him returning to his clan.

I was relieved because Chen Tiansheng was able to contact such an efficient organization to do things for him, and they did it very cleanly, with the whole process being quick and decisive.

The methods were ruthless and left no room for compromise.

Only ruthless people can achieve great things.

But in the end, Chen Tiansheng was just an ordinary person. Not only was his martial arts skill average, but he also did not possess a rare physique like the Supreme Yang Body. In terms of value, he was far inferior to Chen Huo.

"Sir, while I was investigating the driver who caused the accident, I discovered that there was a mysterious force investigating him as well, and that a stranger was following him before he jumped off the bridge."

"Butler Hu said."

"Oh?" Chen Yuanshan asked with interest, "Do you know which faction it is?"

"I suspect it's someone from Huo Shao's group."

"Chen Huo?"

Chen Yuanshan murmured, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

Chen Huo's immense value has only come to light today. Other families will need time to react; it's impossible for them to react so quickly. In terms of time, Chen Huo is indeed the one who can react the fastest.

If that's the case, then it would be quite unexpected for him.

Chen Huo actually possesses such strength?

"Is it possible that they are from the Jiang family?"

Chen Yuanshan immediately dismissed the idea as soon as he uttered it.

"Impossible. The Jiang family is just a local powerful clan. They have no say in the capital and no powerful backers. There must be someone else involved."

This was precisely what puzzled Chen Yuanshan the most.

Could there really be some terrifying power behind Chen Huo?

"Why don't we call Young Master Tiansheng over and ask him?"

Butler Hu asked tentatively.

Chen Yuanshan shook his head.

"It's pointless. With his personality, he'll never admit it unless there's irrefutable evidence. Calling him out will only make him sulk. We'll just monitor his every move."

"Yes, sir."

Butler Hu bowed slightly in response.

……

That evening, Chen Huo and Jiang Aiwei stayed at a high-end hotel in Beijing.

Jiang Aiwei, who had been shopping all afternoon, did not feel tired at all. After the meal, she dragged Chen Huo around and demanded a lot of things. Chen Huo rode his horse for two hours before finally kneeling down and begging for mercy.

I won't go into the details of its subtleties.

The next day arrived.

Chen Huo woke up naturally, while Jiang Aiwei, exhausted from overwork, was still fast asleep.

He picked up his phone and checked the time.

10 o'clock sharp.

There is one unread message.

It was Yu Ji who sent it, asking him to call back when it was convenient for him.

Chen Huo attacked.

The phone was answered after only one ring.

"Feed?"

"It is I, Chen Huo."

"Young Master, we have made some progress on the matter you asked me to investigate."

After confirming that it was Chen Huo himself, Yu Ji spoke respectfully.

The investigation revealed that an hour before the accident, the driver's ex-wife's offshore account received a remittance of three million dollars from Southeast Asia.

The Goddess Pavilion is currently investigating the identity of the remitter, and it will take some time to verify his/her specific identity. However, the bank that made the remittance is located in the Golden Triangle.

As for Chen Tiansheng, the current investigation by Shennvge indicates that he has a large amount of money dealings with a gambling group in Southeast Asia, but strangely, there have been no such dealings recently.

In addition, their investigation revealed that Chen Tiansheng broke his phone at the hospital half an hour after you left the Zhao family, and the money was deposited into the offshore account of the driver's ex-wife an hour later.

They also retrieved Chen Tiansheng's call records, one of which was from the old Chinese medicine doctor who was involved in treating Mr. Zhao, and another was a call to Southeast Asia.

Finally, Yu Ji said:

"It's almost certain that Chen Tiansheng was behind this, but it will take some time to find conclusive evidence. Please be patient, young master, we are working hard to investigate."

Chen Huo: "No need for investigation."

"Um?"

Yu Ji was somewhat puzzled.

Chen Huo coldly replied, "Finding evidence before taking action is the standard procedure of the police station. I, Chen Huo, don't need it, and I don't want to waste the resources of the Goddess Pavilion on this matter."

After a brief silence on the other end of the phone, the voice asked, "Young Master, what are your plans?"

"Find Chen Tiansheng to settle accounts with; where is he now?"

"Young Master, please wait a moment, I will send you my location."

"it is good."

Moments later, Chen Huo received the location.

Not from the Chen family's ancestral home.

Instead, it was in a villa in the southern suburbs of Beijing.

This saved Chen Huo a lot of trouble.

"Chen Huo, are you going to settle accounts with Chen Tiansheng?"

Jiang Aiwei had woken up at some point.

She covered her delicate body with the blanket and said with some concern.

Chen Huo smiled slightly: "You can rest at the hotel for a day. I'll go and settle things and then I'll be back. You don't need to worry about your safety; their target is me."

"I'm worried about you!"

Jiang Aiwei rushed over and hugged Chen Huo, saying...

Chen Huo said calmly, "Don't worry about me, they're the ones who should be worried."

A moment later, Chen Huo left the room.

As they approached the elevator, a familiar figure emerged from another room not far away—it was Gu Yingxue, whom they had met briefly at the hot pot restaurant the day before.

"You're following me?"

Chen Huo frowned slightly, feeling somewhat displeased.

Gu Yingxue said expressionlessly:

"No, it's protection. There are only three suites on this floor of the hotel. You and Jiang Aiwei stayed in one, and we've booked the other two. You know, I actually didn't want to do this job."

Chen Huo's face darkened upon hearing this.

"Were you listening to me?"

When this matter was mentioned, Gu Yingxue's expression became somewhat unnatural.

She did listen in, otherwise she wouldn't have appeared by such a coincidence.

Last night I heard everything I should and shouldn't have heard.

She's been single since birth, how could she possibly withstand this kind of stimulation?

I haven't slept since last night.

Snapped!

Just as she was lost in thought, Chen Huo suddenly slapped her across the face without warning.

"Tell Chen Yuanshan that I don't need protection. Also, you'd better stop eavesdropping on me, or next time it won't be as simple as just a slap."

Chen Huo said coldly.

"How dare you hit me?!"

Gu Yingxue was stunned for a moment.

She then let out a sharp shout, and a burst of energy erupted from her body. She took a step forward, her face almost touching Chen Huo's, staring intently into his eyes.

She clenched her fists, her inner strength surging and churning.

They seemed ready to fight at the slightest provocation.

"King Realm?"

Chen Huo was somewhat surprised.

Gu Yingxue looked to be only twenty-three or twenty-four years old, yet she had already reached the Emperor Realm. Although she was only at the first level, it was still extremely rare, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a genius.

But for him, it was far from enough.

Chen Huo said calmly.

"They have some ability, but it's not enough."

"If you want to try, you can."
