Tomb raiding: Those who achieve immortality all have tattoos.

At the entrance, Chen Yan got out of the car and went straight into the Chen family home.

After Xie Yuchen and his group got out of the car, they were stopped just as they reached the entrance of the Chen family's house.

"you....."

"I apologize, Patriarch Xie, but from today onwards, anyone wishing to enter the Chen family's gates must undergo a check."

As he spoke, the guy picked up the scanner and started scanning.

After confirming that Wu Xie and Wang Yueban were unarmed, Xie Yuchen was carrying a butterfly knife, and Zhang Qiling was carrying a black gold ancient sword, the shopkeeper put away the scanner and stepped aside, saying, "Please, everyone."

After Xie Yuchen and his group entered the Chen family's residence, they saw that the interior was already filled with servants.

Everyone stood ramrod straight, clearly not ordinary people, and all of them were armed with submachine guns, fully equipped with the latest gear.

There was a waiter every meter. From the moment Wu Xie and his group entered the door, there was a waiter every meter.

Wang Yueban gasped, "Holy crap, where did these people come from?"

Xie Yuchen's eyes darkened. No wonder Chen Yan dared to do this.

Wu Xie's gaze fell on the wall, which was topped with barbed wire like those used in prisons, about half a meter high.

And there are no blind spots anywhere; even if there are staff guarding the area, there are cameras overhead.

Most importantly, infrared detectors were deployed throughout the area within three meters of the base of the entire wall.

As soon as they entered, they had a red dot on their chests.

This means that they were within the sniper's aiming range from the moment they entered.

With such a large number of snipers, what exactly is Chen Yan doing abroad? Isn't his mother a member of the Northern faction?

When they followed the waiter to the main hall, Chen Yan was sitting in the main seat, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, watching them.

"You're here? Please have a seat."

After they sat down, Chen Yan extinguished his cigarette, waved his hand, and immediately someone served tea to the four of them.

Lao Jiu stood behind Chen Yan, and Hei Xiazi also stood behind Chen Yan with a smile.

There's nothing we can do; circumstances dictate our actions.

Wu Xie suddenly asked, "What's going on, Blackie?"

"There's nothing I can do. Young Master Si has left me, the blind man, without a place to eat. I have no choice but to become Young Master Si's servant again."

Hei Xiazi chuckled and explained, then Xie Yuchen looked at Chen Yan: "Chen Yan, do you know the consequences of what you've done?"

"You're trying to wipe out all the tomb raiders in the Central Plains."

"yes."

Chen Yan looked directly at Xie Yuchen and said without any hesitation, "That's what I think, so what's the problem?"

Wu Xie looked at Chen Yan in disbelief: "Are you crazy? Why?"

"because."

Chen Yan sat up straight, looked at them, and said, word by word, "I lied to you when I said I was twenty."

"My father and mother have known each other for a long time. They had a relationship before. I wasn't born yet. My mother was targeted by the Wang family because of her contact with my father."

"After discovering that I was pregnant, my mother immediately went abroad, abandoning the family business and everything in the country, just so that I could survive."

"My mother didn't have any children after she married my stepfather."

"After my stepfather died, my mother and I became the people who spoke in the family."

"But my mother discovered that my stepfather's brothers were all harboring evil intentions, so she wanted me to get away from them."

"My mother told me before she died that when she was pregnant with me, she was hunted by the Wang family, which caused her body to be poisoned, and that's why the poison passed on to me."

"My mother kept me hidden all this time, for this reason."

Chen Yan smiled slightly: "It's just so that I can live peacefully after her death. The Wang family is too well hidden. My mother and stepfather have searched for many years, but they only killed some peripheral figures. But I'm not reconciled."

"Since your mother wanted you to live a good life, why did you return to the Nine Gates instead of using your influence to continue searching for the Wang family?"

"Because my stepfather and my mother both died because of the Wang family."

Chen Yan's expression was indifferent, his eyes carrying a hint of detachment: "It's rumored that my body won't allow me to live past twenty, so my stepfather, in order to find something that could save me, led a group of people to search for the Wang family abroad and secretly looked for something that could save me."

"However, we never found the Wang family's headquarters, nor did we find any medicine that could save me. Later, my mother used her connections to find a place that might be able to save me."

"My stepfather abandoned me in a mercenary training camp abroad and went there with his men. We didn't find the item, and my stepfather died too."

"If the Wang family hadn't poisoned my mother, I wouldn't be in this situation, and my stepfather wouldn't have died either."

"My mother's death was also because of the Wang family."

Chen Yan looked at Xie Yuchen: "Shouldn't I take revenge?"

"I understand, but the way you're doing it..."

Xie Yuchen couldn't continue, because what could you say? That Chen Yan was too extreme?

But those were his parents, whether they were his biological parents or his stepfather, they had long been caught in this vortex, how could Chen Yan possibly be an ordinary person?

How could he not seek revenge?

Wu Xie suddenly asked, "So, how old are you exactly?"

Chen Yan glanced at Wu Xie and said, "I'm a little older than you guys."

what?

Wang Yueban said, "Didn't you say you were twenty years old?"

"Twenty-nine is also twenty years old."

"........."

Xie Yuchen did some calculations and said, "You were born with poison, so what happened before you were born...?"

Chen Yan said calmly, "That's right. My mother didn't know there were toxins in her body when she gave birth to me."

"I only knew that my health was getting worse and worse after I was born."

"She just found a man, and the Wang family is targeting her. Why?"

Chen Yan calmly lowered his eyes slightly, stroking the agarwood on his wrist, and said, "If I were my mother, I would have done even more ruthlessly than her."

"My mother originally wanted to use my stepfather's people to deal with the Wang family, but the Wang family was too well hidden, and we couldn't find their headquarters even after searching for so long."

"Later, all she wanted for me was for me to live well, but unfortunately, my body couldn't live past twenty."

How could my mother not hate her?

"A mother endures ten months of pregnancy with great difficulty, and the child she finally gives birth to is born with toxins in his body."

"She was even told by countless doctors that she wouldn't live past twenty. How could she not hate them?"

Chen Yan raised his eyes and looked at the spot outside the door: "The reason my mother asked me to treat the old man well before she died was because the old man was a member of the Nine Gates. Only by returning with this identity could I avoid attracting the attention of the Wang family."

"The revenge for my father and mother must be taken."

Chen Yan's tone sharpened: "The Wang family thinks they can hide? Let them hide then. I want to see how the Wang family will hide when everyone is looking for them!"
