Tomb raiding: Those who achieve immortality all have tattoos.

Chen Yan interrupted Zhang Rishan, looking at him with a puzzled expression: "President Zhang, although I'm still young, I'm not stupid, am I?"

"Wu Sansheng wants to kill my grandfather, and you're talking to me about the rules of the Nine Gates?"

"The Wu family wants to swallow up the Nine Gates and become the head of the Nine Gates. You're telling me that the various families of the Nine Gates are only superficially friendly but actually harmonious?"

"When you said that, did you ask Huo Ling, who was personally stuffed with the corpse-eating pill by Wu Sansheng back then?"

"Or rather."

Chen Yan suddenly raised his voice and asked, "Patriarch Huo, do you think there is harmony among the various families of the Nine Gates?"

Zhang Rishan remained silent: "What do you mean by that? Did Chen Pi tell you that?"

Suddenly, the ninth brother, who hadn't spoken since entering, spoke up: "Excuse me, Chairman Zhang, Patriarch Huo, I may not be good at much else, but my hearing is quite good."

After saying that, Lao Jiu turned his head and looked behind a screen in the corner.

Suddenly.

The wall behind the screen opened, and a figure slowly walked out.

It was none other than Huo Xiangu, who had been on the street earlier.

Huo Xiuxiu was by his side.

Huo Xiuxiu stared in shock at Chen Yan and Lao Jiu. These two people, no, this Chen Yan, were incredibly powerful.

Not only did she discover that she and her grandmother were hiding next door eavesdropping, but she was also able to hold her own against Chairman Zhang Rishan.

Chen Yan turned his head and smiled gently at Huo Xiangu: "Patriarch Huo, that's more like it. If you have something to say, let's talk face to face. It's so beneath us to eavesdrop from next door."

Huo Xiangu walked to the sofa and sat down on Zhang Rishan's side, looking at Chen Yan with a hint of curiosity in her eyes: "I'm very curious. I've investigated you. Your mother is a member of the Northern School of Tomb Raiders."

"I couldn't find out the identity of your later father, but obviously, someone who can't even be found out by me must be someone extraordinary."

"What I'm curious about is, why did you come back?"

"With your abilities, even if you wanted to occupy a territory and become king, it wouldn't be difficult, would it?"

Chen Yan draped his arms over the back of the sofa, crossed his legs, and looked relaxed and carefree, which surprised Huo Xiangu and Zhang Rishan.

Is Chen Yan really only twenty years old?

As a second-generation heir, and one who had only been back for a little over half a year, how could he be so relaxed and carefree when he saw the two of them?

Even arrogant.

Huo Xiangu glanced at Huo Xiuxiu subconsciously and saw Huo Xiuxiu curiously looking at Chen Yan.

Huo Xiangu sighed inwardly. If it were Xiuxiu, she definitely wouldn't have had such courage.

Turning to look at Chen Yan, Chen Yan thought for a moment and said, "Well, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"That depends on whether you want to tell the truth or a lie."

Zhang Rishan looked at Chen Yan, and Chen Yan laughed.

"It's very simple."

"To be honest, my mother is gone, my stepfather is gone, and all that's left is my biological father. And I'm a very filial person, so when I heard that my biological father might be dying, I came back."

"Who knew that I came back too early, and my biological father not only survived but also tricked me, making me take a trip to the gates of hell for him."

"And what about the lie?"

Huo Xiangu looked at Chen Yan with interest and asked, "A lie is..." Chen Yan glanced at Huo Xiangu, his lips curving upwards, his voice increasingly laced with amusement: "A lie is..."

Chen Yan withdrew his hand, placed his hands folded on his lap, suppressed his smile, looked at the two people opposite him, and said, word by word, "If anyone dares to kill my father, I will kill their entire family."

hum.

These words were like a bomb dropped into deep water; for a moment, the entire private room fell into an eerie silence.

Just as Zhang Rishan and Huo Xiangu's expressions changed slightly, Chen Yan suddenly laughed: "No, you really believe that?"

"Didn't we already say it was a lie?"

Chen Yan smiled and said, "Who would have feelings for their own father whom they haven't seen for over twenty years?"

Zhang Rishan narrowed his eyes: "Then why did you return to the Chen family?"

"You ask me why I returned to the Chen family?"

"What? Can't I ask?"

Chen Yan scoffed: "I'm giving you face by calling you president. If I didn't, you could be a dead president."

Chen Yan slowly stood up and, amidst Huo Xiuxiu's shocked expression and Huo Xiangu's somewhat stunned look, said word by word, "Listen carefully, I have absolutely no interest in your so-called Nine Gates."

"I don't care whether you're testing me or genuinely doubting me."

"If there's a next time, don't blame me for taking action against you."

"Chen Yan!"

"How dare you!"

"Bang."

"Shut your mother's head!"

Just as Zhang Rishan finished shouting, the door to the private room was suddenly kicked open with a bang, and a sentence came from the doorway, which shocked Zhang Rishan and left him a little stunned.

The next second, the next sentence came.

Chen Pi strode in, glared at Zhang Rishan and Huo Xiangu, and yelled, "Damn it, you two old hags, have you no shame?"

"The two of you are almost three hundred years old combined, and you're bullying a twenty-year-old kid?"

"What did you just say? What's wrong with me, the head of the Chen family? Say it again!"

Chen Xi followed behind Chen Pi, also looking at Zhang Rishan and Huo Xiangu with an unfriendly expression.

Huo Xiangu cursed inwardly. She hadn't said anything! Those words were spoken by Zhang Rishan! What did it have to do with her?

Who would dare to provoke Chen Pi, that mad dog, at this time?

But before Huo Xiangu could say anything, Zhang Rishan stood up and looked at Chen Pi: "Chen Pi, I don't care how you raise your child, but as a member of the Nine Gates, you must abide by the most basic rules..."

"Do you want me to lend you a hand and completely dismantle this rotten Nine Gates?"

Chen Yan asked casually, and Chen Pi, with a cold face and sinister eyes, looked at Zhang Rishan: "Zhang Rishan, repeat what you just said!"

"If I don't kill you today, I'm not worthy of being called Chen Pi!"

As he spoke, Chen Pi reached for the nine-clawed hook at his waist, but Chen Yan grabbed his hand and said, "Old man, you're not young anymore. Getting angry will harm your health."

"Ninth Brother".

Lao Jiu immediately stepped forward: "Fourth Master, calm down, our Brother Yan can handle this."

Chen Pi originally wanted to curse, but after hearing the last sentence, he suddenly calmed down.

He shook off her hand, snorted coldly, and said, "Fine, you handle it. I'll watch."

He gave Zhang Rishan a sinister look: "If I'm not satisfied with how you handled it, I'll handle it myself."

Chen Yan looked at Zhang Rishan with a hint of helplessness: "Chairman Zhang, look at yourself, why did you have to do this? Of all people to mess with, why did you have to provoke my old man?"

"Whether it's the Nine Gates or the underworld, who doesn't know my old man has a bad temper?"

"Now tell me, how am I supposed to clean this up?"

Zhang Rishan: ......

Huo Xiangu looked at Chen Yan in disbelief. She really wanted to ask, "Are you two in the Chen family so similar that you even have the same level of shamelessness?"
