Chapter 1 The Next Morning

The next morning.

The weather was beautiful, and sunlight streamed through the curtains, bathing Chen Xiao and Wu Fei'er in its warmth.

Neither of them had slept all night. Chen Xiao was full of energy, but Wu Fei'er was exhausted.

Her long, white legs, like sections of lotus root, rested casually on Chen Xiao's body.

Chen Xiao held her delicate little feet in his hands, playing with them leisurely, like a middle-aged man fondling his gourds.

They chatted idly.

They talked about youthful memories from their college days and their respective experiences after graduation.

But they remained silent about their relationship, neither of them mentioning it.

Chen Xiao glanced at the time, patted Wu Fei'er, and said, "You should rest well today. I have something to take care of; I need to go out."

Wu Fei'er pouted, "Going to fight again, aren't you?"

Chen Xiao smiled awkwardly and said sheepishly, "It's not fighting, just resolving some grudges. Don't worry, unless they force me to, I will definitely try to persuade them with reason."

Wu Fei'er knew that she couldn't stop Chen Xiao from doing what he wanted, so she simply didn't say anything more.

However, she had misunderstood Chen Xiao. He was indeed going to the Wu family to reason with them.

Besides wanting to settle his past grudges with Long Yaoyang, he also wanted Lin Changsheng to guarantee that he would no longer cause trouble for Lin Zicong.

After all, Lin Zicong had been working diligently for him recently, and he had to help him resolve his worries.

If the Wu family and Lin Changsheng were truly ignorant of the situation, then Chen Xiao wouldn't mind resolving the issue with force.

Chen Xiao had already found out the Wu family's address from Da Xiang yesterday. After eating breakfast at the hotel, he went straight to the Wu family compound.

At the same time, the Wu family members were gathered in the Wu family compound, waiting in full battle array.

All the disciples of the Shuang Dao Men (Twin Blades Sect) were present, but the sect leader, Lin Changsheng, used his injuries as an excuse to hide away and recuperate.

The family head, Wu Sande, hadn't slept all night, and his old eyes were bloodshot.

He ordered his men to move the grand master's chair to the courtyard, sat on it steadily, stared at the entrance, and quietly waited for Chen Xiao's arrival.

Lin Changsheng's absence made him quite dissatisfied.

But after all, Lin Changsheng was injured, and even if he was present, it wouldn't help much, so he didn't say anything more.

However, he had already ordered the housekeeper to cut the funds allocated to the Shuang Dao Men in half, starting next month.

Time passed minute by minute, and Wu Sande couldn't help but feel anxious.

Although Chen Xiao hadn't appeared, neither had Mountain Pig and his men!

They had agreed to arrive at 8:30 a.m., but it was already 8:45 a.m., and there was still no sign of them.

Wu Sande's face darkened, and he was very dissatisfied.

He had spent a hundred million yuan in real money, and they were still making him wait?

He couldn't wait any longer and immediately called Mountain Pig.

"Hello, who is this? Who the hell is calling me at this hour? Don't you want to live?"

As soon as the call was connected, Mountain Pig's dissatisfied curse came from the other end.

Clearly, Mountain Pig had just finished his nightlife and hadn't woken up yet.

Wu Sande was furious when he heard this. He said coldly, "This is Wu Sande. You were supposed to be here at 8:30 a.m. Look at the time. Why haven't you arrived yet?"

"Oh, damn it! Patriarch Wu, I accidentally forgot about it!"

Mountain Pig had drunk too much last night and had long forgotten about it.

After all, it was just a three-million-yuan deal to him, not as important as drinking and picking up girls.

However, things were different for Wu Sande; he had spent a hundred million yuan!

He was extremely dissatisfied with Mountain Pig's attitude. If he didn't still need Mountain Pig's help, he would have cursed him on the spot.

"Hurry up and bring your men over here. That kid is about to arrive!"

"Okay, Patriarch Wu, you wait. I'll bring my men over right away!"

Wu Sande hung up the phone angrily. Just as he hung up, he heard a creaking sound.

The gate of the Wu family compound was pushed open from the outside.

Chen Xiao walked in slowly with his hands behind his back.

Looking at the Wu family members and the disciples of the Shuang Dao Men in front of him, he couldn't help but laugh, "Heh, the Wu family is indeed formal, putting on such a grand show to welcome me. I'm truly flattered."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Meili shouted, "Bah, you brat, open your dog eyes and take a good look. Are we welcoming you?"

She hadn't finished scolding him when she was stopped by her father.

"Meili, shut up! How can you talk to Mr. Chen like that?"

Wu Meili looked at Wu Sande with a puzzled expression, wondering what was wrong with her father. The enemy was right in front of him, so why was he still calling him Mr. Chen?

Little did she know that Wu Sande was doing this to stall for time, waiting for Mountain Pig to bring his men over.

Then, Wu Sande looked at Chen Xiao with a smile on his face, "Mr. Chen, it's an honor to have you here. This old man has failed to welcome you properly!"

Chen Xiao shook his head, "It's alright. You must be the Wu family head, right?"

Wu Sande nodded, "I am Wu Sande. I have long heard of Mr. Chen's great name. Seeing you today, you are indeed extraordinary. A hero emerges at a young age!"

Chen Xiao smiled slightly, "Patriarch Wu, you are too kind. I have also heard of Patriarch Wu's great name!"

Wu Sande extended his hand, making a gesture of invitation.

"Bring a seat for Mr. Chen!"

The housekeeper brought a chair and placed it next to Chen Xiao.

Although Chen Xiao was a little confused as to why Wu Sande was being so polite to him, he didn't think much of it and sat down directly.

After sitting down, Wu Sande took the initiative to ask, "Mr. Chen, what brings you here today?"

Chen Xiao went straight to the point and said, "Today, I'm mainly here for some past grudges and for Lin Zicong. By the way, who is the Shuang Dao Men's sect leader, Lin Changsheng?"

Wu Sande was slightly stunned, then forced a smile, "Mr. Chen, Sect Leader Lin was injured by you yesterday and is still recuperating. I hope you won't laugh at him."

Now it was Chen Xiao's turn to be confused. Yesterday, he only injured a disciple of the Shuang Dao Men, didn't he? Could it be that that kid was actually the sect leader of the Shuang Dao Men?

Then his strength was too weak, not even as good as Lin Zicong.

Moreover, he only knocked him unconscious yesterday. He shouldn't still be recuperating after a night!

Wu Sande felt ashamed and didn't want to continue on this topic. Little did he know that they had made a mistake and were talking about two different people.

He turned to ask, "Mr. Chen, I wonder which grudge you are referring to?"

Seeing that Wu Sande was so polite, Chen Xiao thought that he was a reasonable person.

So he said directly, "The root of the matter starts with Long Yaoyang."

As soon as she heard her son's name, Wu Meili became agitated again, "You brat, you dare to mention my son's name? I ask you, was my son killed by you?"

Chen Xiao thought for a moment and said in a somber tone, "That's right, Long Yaoyang was indeed killed by me."
