Tomb raiding: Those who achieve immortality all have tattoos.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan immediately laughed it off: "It's dawn, let's go, let's go see what Jude Kao left me."

After saying that, he turned around and quickly left. Old Jiu watched Chen Yan's back and wondered how to get Chen Yan to drink more water.

Chen Yan has a strange habit: he doesn't like to drink water.

He only drinks water when Lao Jiu and Meng Hu hand it to him. Of course, this refers to plain water; he only drinks tea occasionally.

If it were coffee, he could drink it every day.

You can drink more than ten cups a day.

Chen Yan grew up abroad, so he's used to drinking coffee.

But Lao Jiu, judging from his love of tea, clearly grew up in China.

Furthermore, everyone else believed that Lao Jiu's temperament was something he had cultivated under Chen Yan's influence.

Actually not.

Lao Jiu stepped out of the tent and stood at the tent entrance. Chen Yan happened to turn around and saw Lao Jiu standing at the tent entrance, with sunlight shining on the tent.

In Chen Yan's mind, the face that had amazed him the first time he saw it appeared.

It was a face so exquisite it was almost perfect. Chen Yan felt that Lao Jiu's original face had truly transcended the boundaries of gender.

Although his own face was handsome and refined enough, Lao Jiu's face gave off a completely different vibe.

When Chen Yan first met Lao Jiu, Lao Jiu's very presence gave him an air of nobility.

Chen Yan once thought that someone like Lao Jiu should be a refined young master raised in seclusion.

pity.

The young master had quite a temper; he slapped Chen Yan the first time they met.

Although I didn't hit it.

Old Nine walked up to Chen Yan and said calmly, "Stop dreaming, it's already dawn."

Chen Yan snapped out of his daze, looked at Lao Jiu's face, his lips moved, and finally he let out a long sigh: "Damn it..."

Damn Changsheng, give me back my exquisite young master!!!

Actually, Lao Jiu always finds it amusing to see Chen Yan like this.

She raised her hand and removed her glasses, her captivating fox-like eyes slightly upturned: "What? You like my face that much?"

Chen Yan nodded: "You don't understand. It's like I've collected the most beautiful treasure in the world, but the treasure itself has wrapped its stunning appearance in a layer of old newspaper, and the newspaper is covered with dog poop."

The smile on Lao Jiu's lips froze. After putting on his glasses, he looked at Chen Yan with an unfriendly gaze: "That really puts my little Fourth Master in a difficult position, having to face my face."

After saying that, he turned and left to instruct the workers. Chen Yan stood there, clicking his tongue, as if he had said what was on his mind.

There's no way around it, Lao Jiu's eyes truly perfectly embody the meaning of "alluring and charming".

Suddenly, Meng Hu appeared behind Chen Yan and said, "Brother Yan, did you make Lao Jiu angry again?"

Chen Yan waved his hand: "It's not my fault. Tell me, compared to before, doesn't his face look...?"

Meng Hu covered Chen Yan's mouth and smiled, "Brother Yan, you'd better not say that. If Lao Jiu gives you some croton oil in the water, I really can't save you."

Upon hearing Meng Hu's words, Chen Yan shuddered and immediately pushed Meng Hu's hand away: "Ahem, alright, how are you?"

Seeing Chen Yan's expression, Meng Hu pretended that nothing had happened and said, "All the equipment is usable, it's alright. Jude Kao is quite willing to spend a lot of money."

"Our people have taken full control of this area. We've figured out the blueprints that Jude Kao's men sent out to sweep the mountain."

"All the strong alkalis have been sorted out; there's enough to power our small team as we spray our way in."

Chen Yan nodded: "Oh, that's fine. You can decide how to allocate them."

"Brother Yan, are you going down?" the tiger asked.

Chen Yan stroked his chin thoughtfully: "We'll see."

The situation they were looking at is self-evident.

Let's see if the Zhang family will come to stop Chen Yan. If the Zhang family doesn't come, Chen Yan will go down.

The Zhang family has arrived, and Chen Yan... must go down now.

The fact that the Zhang family came meant that what was below was even more important, which naturally made Chen Yan even more curious.

We must go in and take a look!

Somewhere in the mountains.

Zhang Haixing looked down the mountain and said, "I'm wondering, just who is this Chen Yan? This setup is clearly not something the Nine Gates can produce."

Zhang Haike, standing to the side, shook his head: "I don't know. I only know that his mother married an Italian man who was a businessman."

"But more specific information cannot be found."

Zhang Haixing clicked her tongue. Zhang Haike glanced at Zhang Haixing discreetly. This Haixing was a fake. He brought her along on purpose.

Zhang Longban's idea was to have Zhang Haixing die at Chen Yan's hands, so that if the Wang family wanted to cause trouble, they would have to go after Chen Yan.

Since I'm just killing time anyway, it won't hurt to mess with Chen Yan a bit.

Lakeside.

Chen Yan lit a cigarette and looked at the lake, seemingly lost in thought. After finishing his work, Lao Jiu came to the lakeside and stood beside him, also looking at the lake.

Neither of them spoke.

for a long time.

Old Nine then asked in a low voice, "Are you really sure? Once it starts, there's no going back."

"This storm may sweep everyone away, leaving no trace."

Chen Yan, a cigarette dangling from his lips, gazed at the shimmering surface of the lake, his eyes filled with an extreme, cold indifference.

He said calmly, "If you want it, then work for it yourself. Even a child knows that, right?"

Old Nine sighed inwardly, and said aloud, "I'm afraid something will happen to you."

"Don't worry, I will protect you."

As Chen Yan spoke, he raised his hand to take off his cigarette, turned his head to look at Lao Jiu, and said, "There will always be a day when things will recover."

"Live openly and honestly, in the sunlight."

"There's no need to hide anymore, and there's no need to wrong yourself in this way."

Chen Yan turned his head to look at the lake: "Whether it's you, me, or even a tiger, we can all stand in the sunlight."

Old Nine glanced at Chen Yan's profile, his eyes flickering. This kid...

From the moment he first saw him, he knew that this kid had a wildness hidden in his bones that he had never seen before.

At first, he didn't understand why Chen Yan, who had everything he wanted since childhood and was loved by his parents, would turn out like this.

After learning about the existence of dried tangerine peel, Lao Jiu understood why.

A shared, unwavering madness.

The remarkable potency of dried tangerine peel has been proven over nearly a century.

No one who knows Chenpi dares to mess with this mad dog.

Because Chenpi (a type of dried tangerine peel) will really go crazy for you.

Lao Jiu couldn't help but marvel at the power of bloodline, even though Chen Yan had never seen Chen Pi since childhood and had never lived with Chen Pi.
