Zhou Fu sat in the carriage that Elysium had prepared for him and arrived at the Chen family.
"Greetings, my lord."
In the bright and spacious meeting hall, Zhou Fu sat on the main seat while Chen Guhong knelt in front of him.
At this moment, Chen Guhong no longer looked as weak as before. Even the exhaustion on his face had disappeared.
"Oh, you look good after a night's sleep." Zhou Fu sneered.
Zhou Fu didn't comment on Chen Guhong's scheme, but he hated it when people lied to him.
Chen Guhong, as the central point of this Chen family matter, knew everything but didn't tell Zhou Fu. Instead, he wanted to settle the matter secretly. How could this matter be hidden from Zhou Fu?
Now, all the guards of the Chen family were under Chen Moran's command, and Chen Moran was under Zhou Fu's jurisdiction.
It was impossible for Chen Guhong to do things without Chen Moran's permission.
"This subordinate is terrified!" Chen Guhong kowtowed to the ground and then closed his mouth.
"Hmph!"
Zhou Fu snorted. At this moment, Chen Moran brought the Chen family's elder Chen Xingye, Chen Guhong's official wife Zhang Qingyan, and Chen Wenyao, who had broken his legs, into the hall.
Plop!
The three of them were pushed to the ground by the guards.
"My lord, they're here."
Zhou Fu looked at Chen Xingye. This old man's face was sallow, and he looked like he was going to die at any moment.
"Old Man Chen, as an elder of the Chen family, can't you just live well?
How nice would it be to eat and drink and enjoy the rest of your life? Why do you have to jump out and cause trouble? Do you think you're dying too slowly? "
"My lord, I'm foolish, I'm foolish!
Please give me a way out and spare my life! "Chen Xingye kowtowed again and again. It was the kind of kowtow that caused a big commotion but didn't cause much damage.
Thinking about it, it made sense. With Chen Xingye's age, if he really did it, it would be about time for the banquet to start.
"Spare your life?"
Zhou Fu sneered, "You're already so old, why are you still talking nonsense?
Back then, I was too lazy to care about you. I gave you such a great opportunity, but you didn't know how to cherish it.
Now that the opportunity is gone, do you think I will give you another chance? "
Chen Xingye sat paralyzed on the ground, his body trembling slightly.
As a person who was buried up to his neck, he knew the benefits of being alive. He would rather live for another day, even if he had to struggle at death's door, than to be 'free' a day earlier.
"Sir!" Chen Xingye suddenly spoke. "I have a secret that I want to exchange for my life."
"Secret?"
Zhou Fu asked in surprise. "That's not impossible, but … if you dare to lie to me, or if your secret isn't worth your life, then you'll still have to die."
Chen Xingye nodded repeatedly. He was certain that his secret was very big, and Zhou Fu definitely wouldn't refuse.
Seeing Chen Xingye's expression, Zhou Fu smiled. It seemed that this old man was very confident.
"Speak."
"This …" Chen Xingye looked left and right with a troubled expression.
"It doesn't matter. The people here are either my people, or … even if they know, they won't be able to say anything." Zhou Fu had a smile on his face, but his eyes flashed coldly.
Everyone present felt a bone-piercing chill in their hearts. On the other side, Zhang Qingyan came to Chen Wenyao's side and hugged him. Her face and eyes were filled with despair.
When Chen Xingye heard Zhou Fu say this, he took advantage of the situation and said, "My lord, you're a cultivator, so you must know about the Body Refining Hall, right?"
Body Refining Hall?
These three words shook Zhou Fu's heart, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
Knew?
Not only did he know, but Zhou Fu had already cultivated more than half of their martial arts.
"You actually know about the Body Refining Hall?" Zhou Fu stared into Chen Xingye's eyes.
Chen Xingye hurriedly avoided Zhou Fu's gaze. "The Body Refining Hall was in Ning An City. Not only me, but all the old people should have heard of it."
Zhou Fu smiled and didn't take it to heart. "Then tell me what you know."
Chen Xingye slowly straightened his chest, turned around, and pointed at Zhang Qingyan. "What I know is partly thanks to this witch!"
After a night of torment, Chen Xingye was certain that the person who betrayed him was Zhang Qingyan. That wasn't all. He could see it himself, and he acknowledged Zhou Fu's words, so he didn't intend to pursue his past.
At this time, he was a prisoner, and his life was in danger. This was all caused by Zhang Qingyan, so he hated Zhang Qingyan in his heart.
Facing Zhang Qingyan's somewhat dazed eyes, Chen Xingye fiercely said, "This old man is seventy-three years old this year!
He had eaten and played all that he wanted to eat!
Hehe!
Including you, witch! "
At this time, Chen Xingye's spirit was excited, and his blood was rushing, and his body began to tremble.
"Twenty years ago, Ning An City's Zhang Family suddenly wanted to marry my Chen family. They said that the Zhang Family's pearl, the youngest and most precious daughter of the Zhang Family's head, had taken a fancy to my Chen family's branch, Chen Guhong. She secretly promised to marry no one but him."
"When this news spread, the group of old people in the family were stunned. On one hand, they were ecstatic, and on the other hand, they were puzzled.
They looked for Chen Guhong at that time, but Chen Guhong didn't know what was going on. He even said that he didn't know this witch at that time. "
"Moreover, with my status, when was it my turn to decide on marriage?
At that time, the head of the Zhang Family personally came to my Chen family and talked with the head of the family for several hours. Then, the two families decided on this marriage. "
"Here comes the strangest thing," Chen Xingye stared at Zhang Qingyan, whose expression was changing, "It was raining heavily that day, and you came to my Chen family in a horse carriage. There were no wedding ceremonies, and even the banquet was hastily organized in my house."
"After the wedding night, Gu Hong moved into the study for a long time.
Hehe, he stayed there for twenty years! "
Zhang Qingyan screamed, "Is this the reason you rushed into my room on the second day of my wedding and humiliated me?!"
"Enough!" Chen Guhong roared angrily.
"Chen Xingye, Elder Chen!
Since you want to tell me the secret in exchange for your dog life, then tell me the secret. Don't talk about these useless things! "
"How can you say that it's useless?
This is the reason. "
A strange smile appeared on Chen Xingye's face, and he looked at Chen Guhong with disdain.
"Did you know that your wife secretly went out to meet her lover on the night of her wedding?"
"You!" Zhang Qingyan's eyes widened, and the expression on her face slowly turned into fear.
Chen Xingye didn't care about this, and he continued, "No matter what, Gu Hong is still a member of my Chen family.
I found out about the Chen family's scandal, so I naturally had to investigate it! "
"Hehe … Witch, I don't need to tell you what happened after that night, right?"
Zhang Qingyan's face turned pale, and she fell to the ground without saying a word.
"The next day, I saw Gu Hong move out of his room and move into the study.
At that time, I thought, since a witch like you is so pretty and unrestrained, since Gu Hong doesn't want you, then I won't hold back. "
"Bastard!
Old dog! "Zhang Qingyan cursed, and tears streamed down her face.
Zhou Fu sat on the main seat and watched with great interest. He wasn't even in a hurry to ask about the secret.
Zhang Qingyan suddenly turned to Chen Guhong, "This old bastard talked about me like that in front of you, and you didn't even react. You're a turtle!
Trash!
Trash who didn't even touch me on the night of our wedding! "
At this moment, Chen Guhong slowly said, "I started studying medicine when I was four."
The room suddenly fell silent.
"When I was ten, the old man in my family called me a rare talent. My father was afraid that I would be in the limelight, so he kept this a secret."
Chen Guhong took a deep breath. "On the day of the wedding, I held your hand and secretly checked your body. At that time, you were 14 years old and already pregnant.
I wanted to leave at that time, but I didn't expect you to drug the wine. Hehehehe … "
The anger on Zhang Qingyan's face disappeared instantly, "You … You …"
"Quiet!" Zhou Fu spoke, and he looked at Chen Xingye, "Continue."
"Yes!"
"Later, I secretly investigated the man's identity, but unfortunately, the Chen family suddenly encountered trouble. As the butler of the Chen family, I was naturally transferred and put down the investigation."
"Two years later, the Chen family survived with the help of the Zhang family, but we also suffered great losses. Of course, as the butler, we were very busy. Two years later, the Chen family not only recovered, but also made great progress.
At this time, I also had some free time, and then I realized … "
Chen Xingye looked at Zhang Qingyan, "You were still secretly meeting with that man!
You were in the Chen family for five years!
You were secretly meeting with him for five years! "
She was so f * cking loyal!
This was Zhou Fu's thought.
"When I continued to investigate, the Zhang family was in trouble!
All of the Zhang family's businesses were in trouble. Then, the shops were smashed and even caught on fire.
Then, in one night, hundreds of people in the Zhang family were killed. "
Zhou Fu was speechless.
What kind of f * cking luck was this?!
Something happened as soon as he investigated. That was amazing.
After that, Chen Xingye talked about a series of twists and turns, and investigated intermittently for more than ten years before discovering the man's identity.
The man's name was Zhang Yao, the eldest son of the Zhang family's patriarch, and also Zhang Qingyan's elder brother!
After hearing this news, everyone in the hall was stunned. They all looked at the trembling Zhang Qingyan, wanting to know the exact answer.
"Old bastard!
You're talking nonsense!
You're obviously spouting nonsense! "
Chen Xingye laughed sinisterly, "I'm spouting nonsense?
That Zhang Yao isn't dead yet! "
The moment he said that, Zhang Qingyan felt as if she was struck by lightning!
Chen Xingye turned to Zhou Fu, "Sir, that Zhang Yao later seduced the eldest daughter of the Jin family who was in the escort business. Many people might not know, but the patriarch of the Jin family who took over the Jin family's business was the eldest son of the Body-Refining Hall's elder, Jin Kuotian!"
"Jin Kuotian was born with two daughters, the eldest, Jin Yuanzhu, and the younger, Jin Yuanxi.
Although they were both beautiful, their temperaments were very different. "
"Jin Yuanzhu was arrogant and vicious. After she got together with Zhang Yao, she became even more arrogant and despotic, and indulged in debauchery. Jin Kuotian disliked her."
"The younger, Jin Yuanxi was kind and was regarded as the apple of Jin Kuotian's eye. He also found a good husband for her, the eldest son of the Bai family in Ning 'an, Bai Lang, who was known as Prince Runyu!"
