Two days later!
The Liu family had conducted a secret investigation. They had investigated the new third generation from the inside out, not even letting go of the collateral branches. Even the youngest of the new third generation, a child who was only about three years old, had been secretly investigated.
It could be said that he was crazy.
It also showed how much importance Family Head Liu and Liu Man attached to this matter.
Finally, he locked onto two people.
One of them was a boy from a branch family, far away in the South Island.
The other one was Liu Man's niece, Liu Chuyu.
Only the two of them had a good friend surnamed Chu in their relationship chart.
Of course, it wasn't just the surname, but also the direct bloodline.
After a series of investigations, they finally locked onto Chu Chen.
At the same time, he locked onto Liu Chuyu.
They were classmates in university and had known each other for four years.
If they were just classmates, it would be fine. After all, it was a coincidence.
However, the problem was Liu Chuyu. She had indeed helped Chu Chen many times.
Not only did she introduce Chu Chen to a job in his second year of university, but she also helped him deal with a lot of problems in secret.
The hot shots were really different. They were the targets of others everywhere. There were people who disliked them everywhere, and every time, someone would stand up for them.
In his first year of university, because a senior threatened to pursue him, the boy who liked that senior went to find trouble with Chu Chen. Both of them were almost expelled.
Later, Liu Chuyu helped to settle it.
Even when he was working part-time, Chu Chen had all kinds of small problems.
The last time, Liu Chuyu transferred 10,000 yuan to Chu Chen. After that, Chu Chen left Zhong Hai, and no one knew where he went.
So many years.
It was all Liu Chuyu's personal behavior. It could be said that she did not know Chu Chen's identity.
But could some things be explained clearly?
……
On this day, Liu Chuyu was summoned back home by her aunt.
Liu Chuyu was stunned.
At the age of 22, she was born with a noble temperament.
He was not cold and arrogant.
However, this temperament made people not dare to approach.
For so many years, she had always been the school belle with countless admirers. The number of love letters she received could go around the planet several times.
However, her temperament also prevented many crazy men from pursuing her in an excessive manner.
They were all afraid of offending the beauty.
Therefore, she did not have many friends, including a few female friends.
As a result, no one knew about the relationship between Liu Chuyu and Chu Chen all these years.
Even Chu Chen himself did not know that Liu Chuyu had helped him so much behind his back.
The first time the two of them spoke was when they were in their second year of university.
In the cafeteria, she accidentally bumped into him and said,"I'm sorry" and "It's okay."
Just this…
Her voice was like that of an oriole, crisp and pleasant to the ears.
"Aunt…why did you suddenly call me back to the old mansion?”
Liu Chuyu had never used her family background before. Even her slightly better classmates only knew that her family was rich.
Moreover, he had guessed it from her usual clothes and small items.
What exactly was he going to do?
No one knew.
"Chuyu, come, sit down and chat with Auntie.”Liu Man's face had a trace of hidden worry.
Liu Chuyu fiddled with her dress and sat beside Liu Man, asking curiously,""Did something happen?"
"You've been smart since you were young. Your grandfather always praised you for being quick-witted. You know how to make choices and advance and retreat in everything. No one said anything about you, whether in school or at home.”Liu Man said.
Liu Chuyu smiled and said," I'm confused by Aunt's words. First, she praised me, then she praised me, and then she said something ridiculous. Am I hiding something?" It shouldn't be. I didn't even know.”
"You little girl…"
Liu Man sighed and said unhappily,""Usually, Su Ya is very calm. I didn't expect that she would have a crush on someone else. Tell me about the boy you have a crush on. What kind of person is he?”
"A crush?"
Liu Chuyu was stunned. Suddenly, a figure appeared in her mind.
But…this wasn't considered a crush, right?
At most, he felt a little proud.
Moreover, Liu Chuyu knew very well that it would never be possible for them to be together, so she did not even consider that aspect.
Liu Man had just said that she had been smart since she was young. She knew when to give and when to give.
This was not bullsh * t.
Liu Chuyu was really such a person. She was different from Qiao Ruobing.
If the family arranged a marriage alliance for her, even if she objected in her heart, she would accept it calmly because she knew very well that there was no point in resisting.
It was better to learn to accept it.
Most importantly, she didn't have a crush on him. Even if she did, she knew that if she got together with Chu Chen, he would definitely die.
That was why she had helped Chu Chen a little all these years, and she would never tell anyone about it.
He didn't have any thoughts about that either.
Liu Chuyu shook her head.”
"Are you lying to me?" Liu Man rolled her eyes.
"I really don't have any." Liu Chuyu shook her head again.
"What about that Chu Chen? Don't say that you're just ordinary classmates.”
"What else can it be if it's not an ordinary classmate?”Liu Chuyu asked with a chuckle.
"How many times have you helped him over the years?" Liu Man asked. Ten times? Twenty times? Or fifty times?"
Hearing this, Liu Chuyu's brows furrowed slightly."Aunt, you actually investigated me?"
Liu Man did not deny it. She said seriously," I didn't just check you. I checked all the children in your third generation, including those from the side family. There are a total of 173 people. I checked them all."”
Liu Chuyu was speechless, her small mouth slightly opened.
"Yes, yes. Did something happen?”Only then did Liu Chuyu realize that something was wrong.
This was a large-scale investigation.
They didn't even let the side branches off.
Clearly, something big had happened.
Liu Man slowly nodded and sighed,""The Liu family is facing a crisis that is neither too big nor too small. If we don't handle it well…it's very likely that there will be a lot of trouble. That's why your grandfather and I have secretly investigated all the new third-generation descendants, not even letting go of the collateral branches.”
"Besides, only your grandfather and I know about this. You're the third person to know.”
Liu Chuyu was startled.
After three seconds of silence, Liu Chuyu stared at Liu Man with a complicated expression."So, Aunt means that this matter is related to me? Or is it related to Chu Chen?"
"That's why I said you're very smart. That's right, it's related to Chu Chen, and now it's related to you.”Liu Man nodded.
"Chu Chen…what happened to him?" Liu Chuyu said.
"Do you have a crush on him?"
"No."
Liu Chuyu shook her head.
Seeing Liu Man's suspicious expression, Liu Chuyu said,""I really didn't have a crush on him. I admit that I do have feelings for him, but this isn't a crush.”
" I've been paying attention to him since the first year of university. He's a very hardworking boy, different from the other boys I've met…"
If Shao Xuanlong was here, he would definitely complain.
Different?
What's the f * cking difference?
There were many people in the world who were poorer than him.
There were also people who were more handsome than him.
She was even more hardworking than him.
What was different about him?
It's only the Lucky Aura that makes a proud daughter like you feel that he's different.
This was the power of the plane, or the power of the Heavenly Dao.
Forcefully changing a person's knowledge.
Liu Man shook her head. Her thoughts were similar to Shao Xuanlong's. She said,"What's the difference? I've investigated him. The only difference is that his hometown is remote enough, he's an orphan, poor enough, depressed enough, and has enough self-esteem. However, a person like him only has self-esteem. Tell me, what's different about him?”
Liu Chuyu was stunned. Then, she shook her head." I don't know. It just feels different."”
Liu Man rolled her eyes.
Liu Chuyu wanted to laugh, but she felt different. What else could she do?
"When I was in my first year of university, there was one night when I came back from the gym. On the way back, I met two hooligans who stopped me…" Liu Chuyu said.
Liu Man's face was full of drama as she blurted out,""Don't tell me he's a hero saving a damsel in distress?"
Liu Chuyu nodded." Yes. Although I could have killed those two hooligans with one hand, Chu Chen appeared just as I was about to make a move. He didn't know anything and stood in front of me like a fool. He told me to run first…"
That was it.
It was so melodramatic.
Then, Chu Chen was beaten up, and his eyes were swollen.
The night was dark again.
Chu Chen did not see Liu Chuyu's face clearly. The last two hooligans were beaten away by Liu Chuyu.
From that time, Liu Chuyu started to pay attention to Chu Chen.
Because she recognized Chu Chen.
After that, she helped him a lot.
In the beginning, she did think that this boy was not bad. Later on, she felt that this boy had a very special temperament that others did not have.
She also felt that Chu Chen's future wouldn't be too bad, so whether it was because she felt good or because of his silly look at that time, Liu Chuyu had always helped him.
After listening to Liu Chuyu's words.
Liu Man fell silent.
He also believed his niece's words.
He believed that his niece did not fall in love with him. At most, she felt that it was fun. Perhaps she would fall in love with him in the future, but not now.
Because the difference was too great.
Liu Man frowned and said nothing.
After Liu Chuyu finished speaking, she was silent for a moment before saying,"Aunt, what happened to him? "Previously, he came to me to borrow money. This was the first time he took the initiative to look for me. I knew that he must have encountered trouble, so I gave him 10,000 yuan. After that, I couldn't contact him.”
Liu Man sighed and raised her hand to touch her niece's hair.""Chuyu, you've caused a lot of trouble for the family, but I know that it's not your fault because you don't know Chu Chen's identity either. Even I only found out recently.”
"Big trouble?" Liu Chuyu tilted her head and frowned. Who is he?"
"Have you heard of the Chu Clan?"
“……”
Liu Chuyu's mood was like a rocket in an instant.
As smart as she was.
Hearing her aunt's words.
How could he not understand?
The Chu Clan?
This surname was actually very common, but it was impossible for her aunt to be referring to anyone else.
There was only one, and that was the former overlord, the Central Chu Sect.
He instantly thought of Chu Chen's surname.
Furthermore, as his mind wandered, he realized at that moment that Chu Chen was very likely to be the orphan of the Chu family. Moreover, his identity was very important and crucial.
Liu Chuyu's face turned pale.
"Do you understand now?" Liu Man sighed.”
Back then, Liu Chuyu was not even eight years old when Old Truman was involved.
However, he already knew what he needed to know.
As he grew older, he was even more aware of how serious the incident back then was.
Back then, everyone had indeed joined forces. Regardless of whether they had any grudges against each other, they had temporarily put aside their plans to deal with Old Truman. One could see how fierce Old Truman was.
There were even a few who directly betrayed Truman.
All these years, it wasn't that no one regretted it.
As for Chu Chen…if he really had that identity, he would be a thorn in his side.
Everyone felt uncomfortable.
He might even have some hidden strength to counterattack…
It was fine if no one knew, but once they knew, Chu Chen's fate was obvious.
In addition, the Liu family would also suffer a certain degree of suppression.
Because she had helped Chu Chen for four years.
Did she say that she didn't know?
She really did not know.
But would anyone believe him?
In fact, it didn't matter whether they believed it or not. Everyone only wanted benefits. The Liu family had to bleed to calm this matter down.
Even the enemies of the Liu family would not let go of this matter.
Liu Chuyu had really brought a lot of trouble to the Liu Family!
…………
Actually, in the original plot.
The Liu family only found out about Chu Chen's identity a long time later, but Chu Chen was already very close to the Liu family at that time.
The link between Chu Chen and the Liu family was Liu Chuyu.
Therefore, at that time, the Liu family could not retreat even if they wanted to. It was completely different from now.
He could still explain it clearly now, but the Liu family didn't need to explain the situation in the original plot.
Chu Chen had dragged her into the water.
It could only be bound to Chu Chen.
Chu Chen was also capable. His strength was only second to some old monsters and powerful yuppies. He was on par with Shao Xuanlong.
The hot shots were so awesome.
It was similar to the plot in the Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre. The entire Jianghu forced Wudang to hand over Zhang Cuishan, and Old Master Zhang was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger. In the end, Zhang Cuishan died.
However, Zhang Cuishan's son could directly fight against the heroes if he became powerful.
It was completely cheating.
Chu Chen was more or less like this.
Back then, everyone had worked together to destroy the Chu Clan. It was obvious how powerful they were. However, Chu Chen had single-handedly killed and subdued these ancient martial arts aristocratic families…
Even the officials turned a blind eye.
Chu Chen directly became the guardian of the Dragon Division.
…………
But now.
His identity was known by the Liu family. Even if the Liu family had a million guts, they would never go crazy with Chu Chen.
In the eyes of the Liu family, Chu Chen was just an ordinary person.
How could he take revenge?
"Aunt."
The aunt and niece sat down in silence for a long time.
Liu Chuyu's tone became a little low as she said,"Am I going to die?"
Liu Man's heart ached.
He went forward and hugged his niece.
Liu Chuyu was really lovable at home. The relationship between aunt and niece was very good, as close as mother and daughter.
Family Head Liu was Liu Chuyu's grandfather and had doted on her since she was young.
Liu Chuyu was definitely the most favored little princess in the direct bloodline.
Moreover, no matter how smart she was, she was only 22 years old.
One could imagine how she felt when she suddenly faced such a thing and death.
Undying?
How could he not die?
If the Liu Family did not give an explanation, this matter would not end.
Ordinary people might think that it was too much. How could he die directly? Couldn't he apologize? Would the Liu family be in danger?
However, if an apology was useful, the martial world would not be the martial world.
Not to mention external interests, which caused conflicts among the major families all year round, even if it was internal interests, the children would fight with each other until their faces were red.
Protect?
How?
The little girl cried silently.
There was no wailing or pleading.
There was only a sudden sense of despair.
Liu Man patted her back and whispered,""Don't worry, I'll think of a way to protect you, but…you can't be like before.”
Liu Chuyu's eyes lit up with hope."Aunt, do my parents know about this?”
"I don't know. No one knows. Only you, me, and your grandfather know now. If others know, it will be very troublesome.”Liu Man said softly.
Liu Chuyu understood and asked,"So, you have to get rid of me first before you can announce it, right?"”
"..." Liu Man was silent. She stroked her back and her hair.
He was right.
He originally wanted to get rid of Liu Chuyu, then discuss with the elders in the clan, and finally inform the other clans.
Getting rid of Liu Chuyu was just a way to show the Liu Family's attitude.
It was better to solve it himself than to let others interfere.
This was not heartless.
If someone else were to intervene, not only would Liu Chuyu not have a chance of survival, the Liu Family's reputation would also be trampled on.
After all, you were either surrendering or being forced to surrender.
There was a huge difference.
…………
Far away in Villa A7.
Shao Xuanlong was listening to their conversation with his headphones on.
She was leaning on a recliner in the pool, and there was a large lamp beside her…
That was not right.
It was Mu Shichong who fed him grapes to please him.
Look, isn't this resolved?
It was very easy.
Of course, it wasn't enough to be pure. It was mainly because she liked to side with outsiders.
Shao Xuanlong was also punishing him.
"Hubby ~~~~"
Mu Shichong pleaded,""Just tell me. Who is the one who wants to harm our family? "Of course, I'm not helping outsiders. I also have shares. If anything happens in the future, I'll suffer a huge loss.”
"Ha!"
Shao Xuanlong gave her a fake smile and glanced at her. Hiss ~ Dazzling!
Shao Xuanlong said,"Shi Chong, I've seen through you. You use people to go forward, not people to go backward."”
"You were so obedient when you begged me for help!”
"When you're not begging, I can't even catch you. Don't you think you're amazing?”
"Hey, hey ~~"
Mu Shichong smiled and explained,""This is Ziyu's fault. I'll help her.”
"You're helping them. It's already good enough that you don't cause trouble for them.”Shao Xuanlong said unhappily.
Actually, Mu Shichong's appearance really made people want to bully her.
Too immature.
But it was legal.
Who do you think doesn't like it?
And women were all made of sand.
Shao Xuanlong thought so.
A handful of fine sand could be easily scattered if one held it in one's hand.
However, if the strength was too small, it would be easily blown away by the wind.
Therefore, he had to grasp this strength very well.
Moreover, Shao Xuanlong had already achieved his goal. Her assets were also considered his.
Want her to defect?
It was unlikely for her.
At most, he was conflicted in his heart. Shao Xuanlong understood this.
Therefore, after giving her a hard time, Shao Xuanlong said,""Do you really want to know?"
"Yes!"
"I can tell you, but you have to move in for the next three days.”
“……”
Mu Shichong fell silent.
Mu Qing left and went to the secret training camp. She was responsible for teaching the 68 orphans. Third Brother would send people to send medicinal bath materials regularly.
As for the specific plan, Shao Xuanlong wrote a plan and handed it to Mu Qing. She only needed to train according to the plan.
So there were no women at home.
As for why it was three days, it was because Dong Xiaoxiao would have a break in three days.
In the next three days, Shao Xuanlong was prepared to have a heart-to-heart talk with her.
It was time for this self-abased little loli to return to her heart.
Normally, Shao Xuanlong would not be bothered to deal with her matters, nor would he be in the mood. After all, he did not have any luck points left.
But now, he was in a good mood.
"Okay, I'll move in for three days. After that, I'll go back to my hometown.”
"Three days later, it's up to you."
Shao Xuanlong smiled.
Actually, it was very simple to cure her inferiority complex.
Because this was something that happened when they were young.
Her elementary school classmates laughed at her height and ridiculed her big…
Although she knew that this was nothing and that others would only envy her, this psychological trauma was still there.
Because she was indeed short!
What Shao Xuanlong needed to do was to show that he liked it very much. That was enough.
In addition, Shi Chong was also a person who developed feelings for him over time.
Therefore, Shao Xuanlong would not spend too much effort on such matters. He only wanted to help her cure her inferiority complex while he was happy.
That was all.
One had to know that 1.5 meters had its uses!
The gun picked a line…
………………
The family's interests were always the priority.
Not to mention Liu Chuyu, even Liu Man, or even Family Head Liu, as long as it was beneficial to the family, they could face death at any time.
This was the education method of ancient martial arts families.
There would definitely be people who were afraid of death. How many people could remain calm in the face of great terror since ancient times? And which one of them wasn't famous?
If there were people everywhere who were not afraid of death, their names would not go down in history.
Only a few or even rare things would be recorded in history and praised.
At this moment.
The three generations sat in the study.
Father Liu sighed." There's only one way now. Find him and then…get rid of him in advance!"”
"If this matter is exposed before we find him, there's nothing we can do.”
Looking at the third-generation disciple whom he doted on the most and thought highly of, Family Head Liu felt extremely complicated.
This matter was neither big nor small.
As long as the Liu Family showed their sincerity, they could suppress this matter and make the other families speechless.
But this sincerity…had to be very great.
They would lose a lot of benefits.
This was not something he could decide on his own.
It was just like a corporation. Even if you were the manager of the board of directors, even if you were the chairman and a major shareholder, once you did something that would harm the interests of the corporation, the board of supervisors would immediately convene a board meeting to impeach you.
None of the shareholders will agree to what you want to do.
This was reality.
It was the same for the clan.
There were Elders Guild members.
The elders were the ancestors of the various lineages. Some of the previous family heads had stepped down and joined the Elders Council.
In a few years, he would retire and join the Elders Guild.
So...
It was a dead end now.
Unless the Elders Guild unanimously agreed to protect Liu Chuyu.
Otherwise, he could only sacrifice one to protect the family's interests.
However, Liu Chuyu was only 22 years old. Even if she was talented, she had not brought much benefit to the family. Instead, she had brought trouble to the family.
Whether it was intentional or not, the result would be trouble.
"Grandpa…I don't know where he is. Besides, he probably doesn't even know who he is, right?”Liu Chuyu was in an extremely bad mood as she said softly.
"Are you trying to absolve him?" Family Head Liu asked.”
Liu Chuyu shut her mouth.
Liu Man quickly said," Dad, Chuyu didn't mean that. She's just telling the truth. The most important thing now is to find Chu Chen's whereabouts. I've sent people to look for him these few days, but there's no trace of him. His last whereabouts were in the small town in the north, and then…he disappeared."”
"Have you looked for Shao Xuanlong?" Family Head Liu asked.”
"No!" Liu Man shook her head.
Liu Chuyu was stunned.
He heard a new character.
Shao Xuanlong?
He did not know her.
Never heard of it.
However, there seemed to be only one family in the country that could be related to the family and had the surname Shao. The one in Beijing.
However, they didn't seem to be ancient martial artists, right?
"Since he knows Chu Chen's identity, he should also know Chu Chen's whereabouts, right? Why don't you ask him?"
"I forgot." Liu Man shook her head.
"You…How could you forget such a thing?”Family Head Liu's face darkened.
Liu Man sighed." I've been investigating Chuyu's matter for the past few days. Then, I thought of ways to protect Chuyu. How could I have the time to think about anything else?"”
Family Head Liu frowned." Then you can make the call now. Make the call here and put it on speaker."”
"Alright then." Liu Man nodded.
Liu Chuyu couldn't help but say,"Aunt, this…Shao Xuanlong also knows about Chu Chen's identity?"”
Liu Man didn't hide anything. She nodded." Yes, and she was the one who told me that someone in our family is close to Chu Chen. That's how I found out about you."”
"It's him?" Liu Chuyu frowned.
He was a little dissatisfied with this guy.
If you have no grudges, why do you want to harm me?
Liu Man seemed to know what Liu Chuyu was thinking and said,""Fortunately, he told me. Otherwise, when we find out in the future, or if he spreads the news directly, you and we will be in a very passive position.”
"…" Liu Chuyu pouted.
Although he was still a little dissatisfied.
However, he had to admit that his aunt was right.
At least he told his aunt directly and did not publicize it. It seemed that he had no ill intentions.
She probably made some deal with her aunt and grandfather in private.
Liu Chuyu was very smart and immediately thought of the crux of the problem.
Du du du--
The phone rang a few times before it was picked up.
Speakerphone!
"Hello, Young Master Long, it's me!"
"Yes, Madam Manman. What's wrong?”Shao Xuanlong's light laugh was heard.
His tone was gentle.
She didn't see him, but just by hearing his voice, she felt that he was a very elegant and gentle man.
This was Liu Chuyu's first impression.
Not bad!
It was much better than before.
"I have a question to ask."
"Tell me."
"Do you know where Chu Chen is?" Liu Man said.
"I don't know."
" I only know that he's somewhere deep in the mountains," Shao Xuanlong said without even thinking." He seems to be practicing some kind of peerless martial arts. I don't know the details."”
"Practice?" Liu Man's expression changed.
Even Family Head Liu frowned.
If Chu Chen was just an ordinary person, it would be fine. He wouldn't be able to cause much trouble.
However, if he was a martial artist who was practicing martial arts and even had the help of the remnants of the Chu family behind him, this matter would be really big.
Liu Chuyu was speechless. She couldn't believe it and subconsciously blurted out,"How, how is this possible? He's just an ordinary person."
After a moment of silence, laughter came from the phone."Are you on speaker? Is there someone beside you?"
"I'm sorry, my father wants to talk to you. We urgently need to know Chu Chen's whereabouts.”Liu Man said apologetically.
Calling was a private matter. It was indeed a little rude to turn on the speaker without the other party's permission.
"Young Friend Shao, I'm Liu Tianqing!" Family Head Liu said in a low voice.”
"Hello, Family Head Liu. I've heard a lot about you. I didn't expect our first conversation to be in such a way.”Shao Xuanlong said in a gentle voice.
"We should be the ones being rude. Young Friend Shao, if you have time, can you come to the Liu family for a chat?”
"Alright."
…………
[PS: 15,000 words.]
Old Scum apologized. He had been busy with the renovation these past few days and couldn't calm down, causing the plot to be a little scattered.
After that, the plot would speed up and he would directly start playing!
Thank you, big shots, for the flowers and monthly votes…
Thank you so much!
