Chen Shumian paused upon hearing the sound before slowly saying, "Are you sure about this?"
"It's too dangerous!"
"This..."
Chen Fan's expression was blank. "This matter of Kunlong Island is of great importance to me!"
"So..."
He didn't finish his sentence.
Chen Shumian was a smart man and naturally understood his meaning. "Alright then!"
"I've learned that members of the Chen clan are currently at the Yuan family's residence in the capital. It seems they're using the Yuan family as a base!"
Chen Fan nodded knowingly. "Good... I understand!"
"Leave the rest to me!"
Chen Shumian trusted Chen Fan's capabilities and didn't say anything further.
"Yes!"
"Be careful!"
The reason Chen Shumian needed to hide was, to put it plainly, because he was the murderer of Chen Hong.
The Chen clan was still investigating this matter. If he were to be exposed again, it would undoubtedly attract a large number of Chen clan members, and by then, his entire plan might be disrupted.
Chen Shumian left.
Under the cover of night...
Almost no one knew he had been there.
The next day...
Chen Fan found the business card Yuan Baoshan had left earlier and dialed the number.
After a short while, it was answered.
"Who is it!"
The voice was somewhat cold.
It also carried a sense of condescension.
"Chen Fan!"
Chen Fan uttered these two words indifferently.
At that very moment, the voice on the other end suddenly fell silent.
It was utterly quiet.
It was as if the air had instantly frozen.
*Hoo...*
Yuan Baoshan, who received Chen Fan's call, was stunned. He had absolutely not expected Chen Fan to call him at this time.
Damn...
He couldn't believe it!
After a moment, Yuan Baoshan responded, his voice instantly becoming very gentle. "Mr. Chen, hello... It is truly an honor for my humble abode to receive your call!"
"This, this..."
The exaggerated flattery.
Chen Fan found it both amusing and exasperating. He smiled faintly. "Heh heh... Patriarch Yuan, that's a bit too much, isn't it!"
Yuan Baoshan forced a smile. "Not at all!"
"Every word I speak is the truth!"
"What a truth..." Chen Fan chuckled.
They seemed to be having a very engaging conversation.
Chen Fan then added, "Patriarch Yuan, I'm calling you for a reason!"
Yuan Baoshan nodded understandingly. "I... I understand... Please speak!"
Chen Fan said, "I heard that some powerful individuals from the Chen clan are at the Yuan family's residence!"
Yuan Baoshan's expression faltered upon hearing this, then he nodded. "Yes... that's correct!"
"Please inform them..." Chen Fan mused for a moment, then continued, "I'd like to discuss some cooperation with them!"
Yuan Baoshan naturally wouldn't dare to refuse Chen Fan.
Chen Fan was someone that even the strong members of the Chen clan feared to some extent.
"Yes... yes..."
"I'll convey your message immediately!"
Chen Fan calmly said, "Then I'll trouble you!"
Yuan Baoshan nodded like a pecking chicken. "No trouble, no trouble, it's just a small matter!"
Chen Fan responded indifferently.
The call ended.
After hanging up, Yuan Baoshan's aged face revealed a look of deep thought.
Why was this Chen Fan suddenly looking for the Chen clan experts?
Why did it feel a little strange?
He pondered for a while, couldn't figure it out, and didn't linger. He quickly went to Chen Tian's resting room.
At this moment, Chen Tian was still meditating, adjusting his internal energy...
For the past while, they had been staying at the Yuan family's residence, cultivating and investigating the murderer of Chen Hong... Of course, the main task was to find the young master who had survived the Chen clan's upheaval...
