Tomb raiding: Those who achieve immortality all have tattoos.

However, the Wang family pursued her too closely. Her body had already suffered for more than a year and was emaciated. She had also been shot and was at her last gasp.

Just when Zhang Haixing thought she was going to die, someone knocked her unconscious and took her away at a corner.

When she woke up again, she was in a place that looked like a laboratory.

She initially thought the Wang family had brought her back and wanted to use her for experiments, so she wanted to kill the doctor.

However, because the body had not yet recovered, and the bodyguard behind the doctor acted quickly, only the doctor's hand was broken.

Later, she gradually realized that these people didn't seem to want to kill her, and they had no interest in her Qilin blood.

However, she was still under house arrest, and even if she recovered, she couldn't defeat so many bodyguards.

The place she stayed in was like a world apart, and she had no contact with the Zhang family at all.

There was no other way but for her to proceed slowly and methodically.

Later, in November 2003, she met Chen Yan.

The moment Zhang Haixing saw Chen Yan, she knew who had saved her.

Because Chen Yan's face looks so much like Chen Pi when he was young.

The Zhang family knew exactly what the heads of the Nine Gates looked like.

Zhang Haixing looked at the three people and said, "I asked Chen Yan back then, 'Why did you save me?'"

Zhang Haike asked, "What did Chen Yan say?"

Zhang Haixing's expression changed slightly, and after a pause, she said, "He said that the Wang family is troublesome, and he never does business at a loss."

"At the time, I was thinking, surely he can't possibly have the ability to ask the Zhang family for money, right? Who knew..."

Zhang Haixing glanced awkwardly at Zhang Longban, who asked, "You're saying Chen Yan met you in November of 2003?"

Zhang Haixing nodded, and Zhang Haike and Zhang Haiqi exchanged a glance, both seeing seriousness in each other's eyes.

because.

Chen Yan returned to the Chen family at the end of 2003.

In other words, everything Chen Yan is doing now was planned as early as 99.

It might even be earlier.

From the moment he saved Haixing, he knew that the Zhang family would be involved, and that he would use them to prolong Chenpi's life and demand compensation.

Zhang Haiqi frowned slightly: "Uncle, this person's thoughts run too deep."

Zhang Haike added, "Second Uncle, Chen Yan's intentions are definitely not just this."

"Um."

Zhang Longban said thoughtfully, "We've been investigating for over a year, but we haven't found out why Chen Yan returned to the Chen family."

"Hai Xing's words now further prove that Chen Yan had long planned to return to the Chen family, but he hadn't taken any action until he had laid out all the traps before returning to the Chen family."

Zhang Haike looked at Zhang Longban: "Second Uncle, what about us?"

Zhang Haiqi suddenly said, "I always feel that we'd better not provoke Chen Yan. Chen Yan is even more unscrupulous than Chen Pi."

After glancing at the three people, Zhang Haiqi said, "So many years have passed. Back then, the generation of the Nine Gates would tremble at the mere mention of the Zhang family name."

"The people of the Nine Gates nowadays are even more reluctant to talk about the Zhang family."

"The only one in the Nine Gates who is not afraid of the Zhang family is Chen Pi, but over the years, Chen Pi has only been at odds with Zhang Qishan, and he is very secretive about the other members of the Zhang family."

"Over the years, which of the Nine Gates' patriarchs doesn't know that the Zhang family is known for its longevity? But have you ever heard of anyone daring to covet the Zhang family's long lifespan?"

Zhang Haiqi's expression was grave: "Chen Yan is the only one."

Zhang Haixing whispered, "It worked."

Zhang Haike glared at Zhang Haixing. "You still dare to say that? If you hadn't impulsively gotten into a fight back then and injured someone, would all this trouble have happened?"

Do we really need to give Chen Yan something to use against us?

suddenly.

A thought flashed through Zhang Haiqi's mind, but she shook her head slightly in her heart just a moment later.

The incident involving Hai Xing happened a few years ago. Even if Chen Yan was incredibly talented back then, at least there was still Chen Yan himself.

So it's not that difficult.

But back then, sea shrimp...

At that time, Chen Yan was not around, so it was naturally impossible.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Zhang Haiqi's eyes, but Zhang Longban, who was deep in thought opposite her, Zhang Haike, who was glaring at Zhang Haixing, and Zhang Haixing, who was looking at Zhang Haike ingratiatingly, did not see it.

On the other side...

Chen Yan looked at Chen Pi and Chen Xi, and nodded in satisfaction: "Grandpa, how do you feel?"

Chen Pi glanced at the area outside the door before turning to Chen Yan: "You brat, you've got some nerve! You actually dared to set your sights on the Zhang family."

"I'm not asking you where you learned the Zhang family had this method. I'm just asking you, what are you going to do? Have you thought about it?"

"You're right. You're still young now, so you can be reckless and not care about living a long life, but what about later? What about when you're old?"

Chen Pi looked at Chen Yan and said, "If you still want to use the Zhang family, don't make things too ugly."

"The Zhang family is not to be trifled with; they're not all dead yet."

Chen Xi, standing to the side, nodded and said, "Yes, young patriarch, in all these years of the Zhang family, you are the first among the Nine Gates who dared to provoke them."

Chen Yan said casually, "What's there to be afraid of? The Zhang family are people too, and people can die."

"The gap between eras cannot be bridged by skill alone."

"Of course, I know what I'm doing."

Chen Pi glanced at Chen Yan's expression and confirmed that the kid was telling the truth and not just fooling him; he genuinely seemed confident.

He finally relaxed and patted his thigh: "That's good. That old woman Huo Xiangu is trying her best to help Wu Xie and make him protect Huo Xiuxiu."

"If you hadn't come back, we were both prepared to die for our cause."

Chen Yan poured Chen Pi a cup of tea and placed it in front of him, saying slowly, "It's not that bad, I'm not dead yet."

Chen Pi nodded, but then a second later he felt that something was off about what she was saying.

Chen Xi chuckled to himself. The way the young master spoke made it sound like he was the Fourth Master's father.

Realizing what was happening, Chen Pi glared at Chen Yan: "I'm your father, can't you show me any respect?"

Chen Yan raised an eyebrow: "How do you want me to show you any respect? Greet you every morning and offer you three sticks of incense?"

"Let's talk about this after I'm dead."

Chen Pi patted his thigh and nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, I feel at least thirty years younger."

"Tsk."

Chen Yan glanced at Chen Pi with a hint of disdain: "You're satisfied with just being thirty years younger? You're too easily satisfied."

Chen Pi's eyes narrowed as he looked at Chen Yan: "I don't care how much you know or what you're planning, you are absolutely not allowed to go to that place again."

"And also, the smell on you..."
