Xiao Zhen sat back down, but he was breathing heavily. His expression was still as shocked as before, as if he was thinking of something.

"Why don't you just follow us and do it! "You won't lose out." Fourth Uncle still had a smile on his face, as if he couldn't figure it out.

"I need to know what's going on." It was clear that the Xiao family knew about the Tianli company, and they must have known each other for a long time. Ye Chen would not let them take the lead so easily.

"Zhang He is my sworn enemy." Xiao Zhen replied, "If it weren't for him, it would have been impossible for me to move to Northface City."

Only now did Ye Chen realize that he had already left Yun Tao and was currently at the northern border of Yun Tao. No wonder Zhang He and the others hadn't chased after him. It seemed that they were afraid of Xiao Zhen.

"It's all the past, so let's not talk about it." Xiao Zhen continued, "Right now, my strength is already on par with his. As long as you can join us, our strength will definitely surpass theirs. It will be easy for us to take back Yun Tao."

"I can rely on myself." Ye Chen had originally come back here to investigate about Zhang Shan and had never thought of joining any faction. There would be too many things happening and it would be much less convenient than coming here himself.

Xiao Zhen and the fourth uncle looked at each other and started to silently communicate. The fourth uncle said to Ye Chen as if he was telling them to do so, "We won't be hard for you. From now on, we are friends. If there is anything you need help with, just say so."

Seeing that Ye Chen had made up his mind, the two of them thought that they could use their friends' names to recruit Ye Chen as a guest elder, just like a visiting professor at university.

Ye Chen didn't look like someone from the pond. Even if he didn't follow them to battle, waiting for his name to grow, others would still fear the Xiao family because they feared Ye Chen.

Ye Chen did not refute him. With his injuries, it would be best for him to stay in the Xiao family for a longer period of time. It would be the easiest.

The world was bustling with activity, all in the interest of profit.

It's just taking advantage of each other.

"Alright, you can rest assured that you'll recover from your injuries. If you need anything, just say so." Xiao Zhen displayed his sincerity. "Fourth brother, you have to give Ye Chen the best medicine to help him recover as soon as possible."

Fourth Uncle nodded and the two of them went off to do their own business. Ye Chen, the butler, and Xiao Ling, who was playing the zither upstairs, were left behind at home. It seemed that they had shown enough trust.

Ye Chen stayed here for half a month. During this half month, the Xiao family had really invested a lot in him. They used all sorts of expensive medicine on him, but they didn't say anything in return. Not only that, they also brought back some news at any time.

From them, Ye Chen found out that the events of that night had been covered up. Not many people knew about it. Other than that, everything else was normal. It was as if nothing had happened.

However, Ye Chen knew that everything had changed. It was like a typhoon that crossed the border. No matter how much it rebuilt, it would never be forgotten.

Fortunately, nothing had happened to Zhang Lanlan. Hua Guanyu must have had his own reservations, so he didn't go and hurt her. Instead, he tried to protect her in the dark.

Chen Tingting had also listened to her sister's words and got to know Zhang Lan through a coincidence. It could be said that she had gained another layer of protection in the dark.

The happiest person in their lives was Xiao Ling. He stopped looking for new jobs. Aside from completing the homework given to her by her home tutor, he would stay by Ye Chen's side every day, insisting that he teach her how to fight.

Ye Chen spent most of his time teasing her and occasionally giving her pointers. He just couldn't understand why a good girl would always want to train herself. She was clearly good at playing the piano.

That day, Ye Chen was riding alone in the living room. His wounds were mainly on his upper body, and right now, he was in the middle of scabs. He could feel his flesh spasming, and every move he made would open up his wounds.

Xiao Ling ran to his side and also took a horse stance.

"Will you kill Zhang He?" Xiao Ling suddenly asked.

"I'll tell you if you let me kiss you." Ye Chen slowly stretched his body, helping to recover.

Xiao Ling stood up and sat beside Ye Chen. He then moved his face closer to Ye Chen.

This time, it was Ye Chen's turn to be surprised. He had played Xiao Ling like this not once or twice, but twice. This little girl would always hit him. She didn't care that he was hurt. Why was she being so obedient today?

"Just kill him. If you kill him, I'll be your girlfriend." Xiao Ling said seriously.

"Do you know what it means to kill people? I always want to be careful of the wrinkles on my face, but do you know which beauty cries out every day? " Ye Chen changed into a prop position.

"My mother was killed by Zhang He." Xiao Ling sat on the ground and hugged his knees, "Don't think that I don't know anything. I heard my father say that as long as you get closer, you will be able to avenge mother. Today, he went to find medicine for you, saying that even if that kind of medicine is applied, there will be no scars on your body."

He didn't know how to comfort Xiao Ling, but he had a better understanding of her rebelliousness. Without his mother to take care of him, only a careless father would give her a sense of security.

"Don't worry, my dad won't use you, and I definitely won't allow that to happen. I'll keep my word, and once Zhang He dies, my dad will definitely support us." Xiao Ling spoke on his own and even planned out Ye Chen's future safety.

"You young miss, I dare not accept it!" Ye Chen felt his whole body relax as he stood up and stretched. He then sat down on the ground and faced Xiao Ling.

"What happened to me?!" Xiao Ling was originally immersed in his grief. When he heard that Ye Chen was actually looking down on her, he was instantly enraged. "I'm so good-looking, I even have places I should be. Why don't you want them?!"

"Handsome people never really praise themselves, only ugly women praise themselves." Ye Chen looked at Xiao Ling in disdain, "Besides, you have everything, but the scale is not enough. According to you, I still have more!"

"Damn!" Is your skin itchy again? " Xiao Ling immediately got up and threw a small fist at Ye Chen.

When Xiao Zhen came in, he saw Ye Chen rolling on the ground with his precious daughter. "What are you doing!" he stopped himself.
