Tomb raiding: Those who achieve immortality all have tattoos.

After Huo San Niang finished speaking, the waiter turned and left, while Huo Xiangu secretly glanced at the doorway.

What kind of person is Chen Yan?

Soon.

Footsteps sounded outside the door.

The moment Chen Yan appeared at the door, no one would have thought that he wasn't Chen Pi's younger brother.

The heads of the Nine Gates are not stupid.

Just because Chen Yan dared to tell them that he was Chen Pi's son doesn't mean they could tell others.

Therefore, everyone assumed that Chen Yan's public identity was Chen Pi's younger brother.

After entering the room, Chen Yan stood in the center of the main hall and smiled slightly: "Master Huo."

Before the aunts beside him could speak, Chen Yan suddenly laughed and looked at Huo Xiangu behind Huo San Niang: "Huo Xiangu."

Huo Xiangu was stunned, staring at Chen Yan with no surprise in her eyes, but rather a hint of admiration.

Does this person know himself?

Huo San Niang was taken aback, but then she understood.

A hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

Good, the fact that Chen Yan is so friendly with the fairy means that the fairy has definitely chosen the right side in the future.

Then she can abdicate with peace of mind.

Thinking of this, Huo Sanniang smiled slightly: "Second Master Chen, is there something else you wish to discuss with us?"

Chen Yan turned his head slightly to look at the several aunts, and Huo San Niang spoke up: "These are the aunts of my Huo family."

Chen Yan nodded: "I understand. It seems you guys are quite dissatisfied with my...brother becoming the head of the Nine Gates."

"So, did I come at the wrong time?"

"After all, what if people think I'm just a greenhorn and call me arrogant and presumptuous? I don't have a very good temper, and it wouldn't be good if a fight broke out and I hurt a few of you."

Chen Yan stood in the middle, his tone lazy and tinged with a hint of sneer.

The faces of the aunts turned green instantly. Before the sixth aunt could say anything, the third aunt spoke first: "Second Master Chen."

"You want Chen Pi to become the head of the Nine Gates, and Zhang Qishan has received what you call benefits, but what do these benefits have to do with my Huo family?"

Huo San Niang's face darkened. Her third aunt actually said that the lives of ordinary people had nothing to do with her.

The Huo family has been in Changsha for so many years; even for the sake of the Huo family's foundation, they shouldn't be so indifferent.

Upon hearing Aunt Huo's words, Chen Yan seemed not to quite understand, turned his head to look at her, and asked, "Can I ask a question first?"

"Go ahead and ask."

"In the Huo family, who ultimately calls the shots—the patriarch or you?"

Auntie San's face darkened slightly as she looked at Chen Yan. This man was no ordinary Chen Pi; he was far more difficult to deal with.

"Naturally, it's the patriarch's decision, but we're all members of the Huo family, so we naturally have the right to inquire, right?"

After Auntie San finished speaking, an old woman next to her said directly, "Who do you think you are, to interfere in the affairs of the Huo family?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Sanniang abruptly stood up: "Ninth Aunt, watch your words!"

She looked at Chen Yan as if she wanted to say something, but Chen Yan raised his hand and stopped Huo San Niang from speaking.

Turning to look at Aunt Jiu, she still had a faint smile on her lips, but her tone was extremely cold.

"You don't need to know what I am, but I know what you are."

Chen Yan looked at the other person indifferently and said, "If you can see tomorrow's sun, then I'm not a thing."

Without waiting for the other person to speak, he turned and left, saying, "Third Sister Huo, let's talk again tomorrow."

"I hope that by then, the Huo family members will have learned to speak like human beings."

Watching Chen Yan's departing figure, Huo San Niang clenched her fists in anger and glared at Ninth Aunt.

who knows.

The third aunt suddenly spoke up: "Guards! Seize him! He absolutely cannot leave the Huo family alive!"

Since we're going to take action, we can't afford to lose the initiative.

Terrified, Huo Sanniang cried out, "Stop! No one is allowed to touch him! Otherwise, we'll punish you according to family rules!"

The Huo family's employees were suddenly caught in a dilemma.

The third aunt's face darkened, and she suddenly stood up: "Arrest him!"

"Third Aunt, you've all gone mad!"

Huo Xiangu's eyes flashed, and she swiftly walked to the door. Watching Chen Yan calmly and slowly walk towards the door, she hardened her heart and said, "Don't you even listen to the patriarch's words anymore?"

Upon hearing this, the men realized they had no choice but to look at each other and step back.

Huo Xiangu quickened her pace and walked to Chen Yan's side, a perfectly timed smile on her face: "Second Master Chen, let me see you off."

He then extended his hand, leading Chen Yan away from the Huo family.

Chen Yan glanced at Huo Xiangu and couldn't help but laugh: "Xiangu, you truly are worthy of your title."

What does that mean?

Huo Xiangu thought her feelings had been discovered, but she didn't notice any displeasure on Chen Yan's face until he left.

After thinking it over, Huo Xiangu decided to go back first.

main hall.

Huo San Niang immediately lost her temper.

Looking at his third aunt, he said with a sinister gaze, "Third aunt, the Huo family is suffering because of you. If the Huo family can't hold on, it's all your fault!"

"Third Sister, I know you're worried about the people behind Chen Yan, but as long as we do it cleanly, even if the higher-ups come, they won't be able to find any evidence that our Huo family did it, right?"

Just then, Huo Xiangu entered the room. Her lips twitched, and she couldn't help but glance at Sixth Aunt. How could a person be so stupid?

"Sixth Aunt".

Huo Xiangu spoke up: "You forgot, there's also dried tangerine peel."

He uttered a single, neither harsh nor overt statement, and then returned to behind Huo San Niang, saying nothing more.

However, the faces of the aunts who heard Huo Xiangu's words changed drastically.

Yes.

They initially only considered Chen Pi, but San Niang said that Chen Yan's power came from the organization.

They were so angry that they only thought that even if the organization came, Chen Yan's death would make things clean and leave the organization with no evidence that they did it.

But they forgot about the unreasonable dried tangerine peel.

If Chen Pi knew that his younger brother had visited the Huo family and died there, he wouldn't care what the reason was.

He wouldn't be Chen Pi if he didn't wipe out the entire Huo family.

Just as the Huo family's aunts were looking at each other with strange expressions, wondering what to do.

The waiter suddenly rushed in in a panic.

"Master, something terrible has happened! A group of people in military uniforms have stormed in!"

"Our men have all been restrained."

"What?!"

Huo Sanniang suddenly stood up and hurriedly asked, "Where's Chen Yan? Did Chen Yan leave?"

"Let's go, let's go."

Huo Xiangu was stunned. When she saw Chen Yan off, he didn't seem that angry.

Huo Sanniang laughed in exasperation, looked at the group of aunts, and said, "Are you all satisfied now?"

As he spoke, he lifted his foot and walked outside.

The aunts looked at each other and then got up and followed them out.

I just left the main hall.

Huo San Niang's eyelids twitched because the person who dared to point a gun at Second Master had arrived.

Meng Hu turned around, glanced at Huo San Niang and the others, and said mockingly, "Patriarch Huo, our Brother Yan said that you can't protect those old geezers who spoke rudely to him just now."

"So, it's up to you whether you want the Huo family wiped out, or are you willing to hand over those few individuals?"

"The fate of the Huo family today rests entirely in your hands."

Huo San Niang closed her eyes and remained silent.
