After getting rid of the mysterious man's tracking, Chen Li did not rush to go home, but instead wandered around the street. He also needed to buy some things to visit his mother...
After walking on the street for nearly an hour, Chen Li slowly walked home.
The mysterious man who followed him was very strong and must be a master. In order to avoid him having other means to discover Chen Li, Chen Li could only be careful.
If someone knows that this enhancement potion was sold from him, Chen Li, not only him, but even the Chen family will be baptized by bloody disasters.
Finally arrived at home, Chen Li was relieved, asked the servant, and went directly to find Chen Xiao.
"Li'er, you're back." Chen Xiao's expression on his face was very calm when he saw Chen Li enter the door, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
Could it be that this kid really got five hundred taels of gold back?
Or, what got most of the five hundred taels?
The Chen family still saves some money, so he just needs to take out some to make up for it.
"Uncle Second, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Chen Li smiled faintly, knowing that Chen Xiao looked calm, but his heart was already in a state of pain.
Sure enough, Chen Xiao couldn't help but ask first: "Lier, how about the five hundred taels of gold?"
Chen Li nodded, took out a box full of gold from the storage bag, and said, "Uncle Second, five hundred taels of gold, it's not bad at all!"
ah?!
Chen Xiao was completely stunned, and even other senior officials who had not yet understood the matter widened their eyes and looked incredible.
"This...this..." Chen Xiao was so excited that he didn't even speak very easily.
Chen Li smiled and looked at the old guys in the room. Pingyueli looked like he was arrogant and no one was born. What about now?
Isn't it that I will open my mouth and eyes wide for five hundred taels of gold?
There was someone on the side who had been waiting for a long time. He walked straight to the box and opened it, and looked carefully.
After a while, the man said excitedly: "The head of the family! It is indeed five hundred taels of gold! It is not a penny!"
Chen Li smiled silently and continued, "Uncle Second, you have enough money now, but don't rush to make a statement!"
Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows and understood immediately, and said with a smile: "It's true that there is no need to make a statement. But I heard that after this incident, rumors were everywhere in Fengxue City, and many gambling shops opened gambling plates to see if our Chen family can afford the money."
Open a bet?
This is a good thing! Chen Li was happy. The more lively this matter became, the more fun it was.
Chen Li didn't have the intention to talk nonsense to the senior executives of the Chen family here, and said hello, and didn't ask Chen Xiao where the money came from, so he left.
"Hey, Li'er, you have really grown up and can do such difficult things." Chen Xiao felt a lot of emotion in his heart, and looked at Chen Li's back as he left, and said nothing for a long time.
After a long time, Chen Xiao laughed and said, "Brother, have you seen your spirit in the sky? Chen Li is already old, he is now a man of great strength!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the rest of the Chen family sighed and didn't know what to say about Chen Li's changes.
However, the Chen family was more grateful to Chen Li. If it weren't for the 500 taels of gold that Chen Li had taken out, how to spend this kind of thing was a problem.
Going back to his own courtyard, Chen Li sat cross-legged and began to meditate**.
The Zhao family's affairs would not be over. Chen Li could think that it was 100% Zhao Lu's idea that it was Zhao Lu's idea when he came to cause trouble.
First, it is for revenge, and second, it is probably for Chen Li and the Chen family to kill the road to rise.
"Zhao Lu, Zhao Lu, you dare to plot against me like this. If you grab money from my pocket, you need to be prepared. I will pay it back twice as much!" Chen Li's eyes flashed, putting this matter aside for the time being and focusing on it.
Uncle Zhao Lu San, the third son of the Zhao family, is also a magician, but he is just a fire magician.
This is considered a niche skill for the Zhao family, which takes swordsmen as its main foundation and combat power. You should know that the most powerful convenience of the Zhao family is the emergence of swordsmen with profound potential. As for magician skill books, there are very few pity.
But even so, the third brother of the Zhao family has been focused on training since childhood. After all, the Zhao family has money, and they don’t have skill books to buy or grab.
Zhao Laosan has been in a very smooth journey, and has good talent. He is also well-known in Fengxuecheng and is a potential stock in the mage circle.
When Zhao Laosan, who always had a sense of arrogance in Pingyueli, encounters such a thing in the Chen family, naturally will not stop easily and start talking around and spreading rumors.
In a high-end restaurant in Fengxuecheng, Zhao Laosan was eating and drinking with a few friends who had a good relationship, and talked about the Chen family.
"Hehe, you don't know. The Chen family has lost the escort now. It's a weapon worth 500 taels of gold! They can't afford it at all, even if they lose everything, they can't afford it!" Zhao Laosan took a sip of the wine and said happily. After this matter is done, he will get a lot of benefits. After all, the Chen family still has a lot of valuable things.
"Hey, third brother, let alone the Chen family, even other big families can't find 500 taels of gold in such a short time!"
"That's right, five hundred taels of gold is not a small amount. This time the Chen family is going to be finished!"
After hearing this, Zhao Laosan was even more proud. He grinned at the bottom of his ears and said with a smile: "The Chen family is going to be miserable this time, and it is embarrassing. Maybe they will sell their children. You should buy what you should buy, but the price will be cheaper!"
Everyone laughed. They all had various relationships with the Zhao family. The Zhao family's dominance only has benefits and no harm for them.
As for the Chen family? It’s just a small wave. How long can it take to make a toss?
Zhao Laosan is very meticulous. The people he found were all big-mouthed. He liked to share with his other friends when he knew any news. It would be known to everyone in the city in a short time.
Even Zhao Laosan gave others advice. A young man with good strength like Chen Li would definitely be a cannon fodder with infinite benefits if a mercenary group could buy it.
But once a boy like Chen Li is sold to a mercenary group for gold, he will be really useless and will never want to turn over in his life. It is really embarrassing to the end, and he is sad and has no hope of looking up.
Rumors are always terrible. In an extremely short period of time, news spread throughout the Snow City.
Whether it is true or false, many families with relationships with the Chen family have begun to plot their own small plans. Should we lend a helping hand to help the Chen family overcome difficulties at this time? Or should we show kindness to the Zhao family and take the blame for the Chen family?
The answer was soon revealed.
In the afternoon, a wave of people came to Chen's mansion.
"I inform the head of the Chen family that my Liu family has something to say to him." An old man with a black face said with a gloomy face, carrying his hands on his back, and a girl with dark skin and a really bad appearance followed behind him.
When the guard heard that the people from the Liu family had arrived, he hurried in to report.
Afterwards, Chen Xiao received the old man from the Liu family in the side hall.
"Ah, Mr. Liu, why are you going to come here in person?" Chen Xiao said politely. Although his heart was already in a state of turmoil, the matter of face still needs to be settled.
The old man surnamed Liu turned red, but it was not obvious under the black skin. He coughed and said, "Brother Chen, there is something I have to mention. My little granddaughter fell in love with another young master and insisted on marrying him. After a few days of trouble, I really had no choice. Look at the marriage I mentioned before, should we discuss it again?"
The old man said it very tactfully, but no matter how tactful it is, it seems so harsh.
Chen Xiao's face changed instantly, he snorted gloomy and said mercilessly: "Old Liu, I admire you as an elder, but now you do such a thing."
The old man was very embarrassed to say it, but when he thought of the current situation of the Chen family, he firmly thought in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Head Chen, I won't say much if I don't want to say anything else. Everyone will save face to each other. My little granddaughter's marriage will be retired. As for the bride price, I have already brought it."
Chen Xiao was so angry that his body trembled slightly, his eyes as if he was about to kill someone, and he said coldly: "Hmph, since the Liu family took advantage of the time when my Chen family had something to do, then I, Chen Xiao, had nothing else to say. Save the guests!"
It was so far that it was useless to say more. The old man took the man away. When he left the Chen family, he looked at the dark-skinned and not very good-looking little granddaughter, with disgust on his face.
If it weren't for this matter, could he do this against his conscience?
At this time, the Chen family had fallen into a very awkward atmosphere. Only few people knew that the money had been received, but these people were all blocked. Chen Xiao just wanted to see how many people would attack at this time.
What made Chen Xiao angry the most was the old man’s excuse. What’s the bullshit reason?
Your little granddaughter looks so scary. The young master of the Chen family is so fond of you that he can give you face. Now he has been resigned from the engagement!
"Hmph! I'll let you have a good look at that time!" Chen Xiao clenched his fists and then let go.
These are hidden dangers, and it is also a good thing to take this opportunity to eliminate them.
"Report... the head of the family! The people from the Wang family have also arrived, saying that they want to withdraw from the marriage!" The servant came to report that the Liu family had just left, and the people from the Wang family have arrived again, and it is even more direct and sharp.
Chen Xiao smiled and shook his head. He was no longer angry. He sat down and said, "Okay, let them do it! My Chen family promised to withdraw from the marriage!"
Many people came to the Chen family one after another. Most of them had business dealings with the Chen family. Their purpose was very simple and clear, to separate from the Chen family, so as not to get into trouble by the Zhao family when the Chen family completely collapsed.
Chen Xiao didn't say much about these people who took advantage of the situation and changed their minds, but just watched silently and agreed to everything.
The money has been obtained, but Chen Xiao still has no idea of spreading the news, so he has to think more about it.
After all, I don’t know how Chen Li got the money. If something goes wrong, the Chen family will be even more difficult.
Besides, asking my nephew to help him take out such a large amount of money to pay off his debts is unreasonable and very embarrassing!
"What a fence-skinned group! There will be times when you regret it in the future." Chen Li has predicted these situations. Everyone is for the benefit. There is no hope for those who can help at this time. It would be great if they don't stab you in the back.
Soon, Chen Li got another interesting news. (To be continued.)
