Zhongnanhai, Office No. 1.
The phone on the desk rang, and Number One picked it up.
"Madman Chu has made an appointment with many people, and Xiao Chen is among them."
On the phone, a voice came.
"Well, don't stare, in the capital... probably no one would dare to deal with Xiao Chen."
Number one thought for a while and said.
"Yes, Chief."
Number one put down the phone, rubbed his temples, and said to himself: "Keep staring at that kid, if he finds out and misunderstands, it will be bad."
"You like that kid so much?"
Suddenly, a voice came from a corner.
"right."
One glanced at him and nodded.
"He's my pick... I'm bullish on him."
"Hehe, will he agree?"
Following the sound, a somewhat stooped figure came out from the corner.
He was dressed in a black robe, his hair was gray, and his old face was wrinkled.
But if Xiao Chen was here, he would definitely be shocked in his heart, secretly shouting 'this old guy is so strong'.
Now, to make Xiao Chen feel this way, at least he has to complete his energy!
Even generalizing Jin Dzogchen doesn't work.
This old man is still stronger than Amos.
"Will do."
Number one looked at the old man and nodded.
,
"The old fortune-teller's grandson... It turns out that the old fortune-teller started planning many years ago. I hope it will work."
After the old man finished speaking, he hid in the corner again, completely invisible.
Number one seemed to be used to having such a person by his side, so he didn't say much, and kept busy with his head down.
...
There are more and more people.
"Old Chu, didn't you say that friends are gathering? How come some people I don't know?"
Xiao Chen asked Madman Chu.
"Oh, I originally thought it was a gathering of friends, but too many people have found me, hoping to attend tonight's party... To put it bluntly, they just want to meet you and get to know you."
Madman Chu was also a little helpless.
"Meet me, get to know me?"
Xiao Chen was taken aback.
"Why do you know me?"
"Of course I want to establish some kind of friendship with you... If you were an unknown person, they would naturally not come over, but it's different now, no one dares to ignore you! To put it bluntly, you alone, already It is worthy of a first-class force."
Madman Chu looked at Xiao Chen and said.
"What's more, there is the Han family behind you."
"Fine."
Xiao Chen nodded, everyone is here, what can he do, he can't drive them away, right?
"Whether you want to know each other or not, you still need to get to know each other... In fact, compared to their acquaintance with you, I think they want to find a way out for themselves... In case their son offends you someday, see For the sake of acquaintance, you can also let them go."
Madman Chu said with a smile.
"..."
Xiao Chen was speechless, is this okay?
"Let's go, let me introduce you. It's good for you to get to know each other."
Madman Chu said to Xiao Chen.
"it is good."
Xiao Chen nodded, followed Madman Chu to exchange greetings with the visitors.
On the other side, Long Jun looked at Han Youwei: "Old Han, I really envy you."
"It's useless to be envious, who made you have no daughter."
Han Youwei said with a smile.
"The old man is also very satisfied with Xiao Chen, right?"
Long Jun asked.
"Well, very satisfied."
Han Youwei nodded.
"The calligraphy that the old man just wrote was given to this boy... the poem of Taizu."
Hearing this, Long Jun was a little surprised: "The old man still writes?"
"Ok."
"Then I will go to the door another day to ask for one..."
"That's enough. Except for this kid, my elder brother won't give it if he wants it. The last one is that one."
Han Youwei laughed.
"Whether you give it or not, you have to try it."
Long Jun also smiled.
"In case I lose face, can you give me one?"
"Then you can try."
Han Youwei nodded.
After exchanging pleasantries, Xiao Chen got to know most of the visitors, and indeed, as Madman Chu said, they were all talented people in the capital.
Thinking about it, the person who can talk to Madman Chu is definitely not an ordinary person.
"Brother Xiao, the dragon among men! I always wanted to get to know Brother Xiao before, but I didn't have the chance."
A fat man with a white face and no beard said to Xiao Chen with a smile.
"Hehe, Mr. Xu has won the prize."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"My little brat is about the same age as Mr. Xiao, but he's far behind in terms of success."
"Young man, you have to give him some time."
"Well, yes, it's rare to see someone like Mr. Xiao in a hundred years."
After the fat man praised a few words, he left.
"This guy...don't get too close to him, the guy who really eats people and doesn't spit out his bones, has a smiling face."
Han Youwei came over and said calmly to Xiao Chen.
"I see, Uncle Han."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"The old man asked me to ask you, did you agree?"
Han Youwei asked in a low voice.
Xiao Chen was startled, and shook his head: "No, Uncle Han, you don't know either?"
"I don't know, the old man didn't tell me, he said he would know later..."
Han Youwei smiled.
"You didn't agree, did you? Wait for me to tell the old man."
"Well, I will think about it, and I will agree sooner or later... I will talk to the old man when I find some time."
Xiao Chen said to Han Youwei.
"it is good."
Han Youwei nodded.
After a while, Madman Chu arranged seats and began to sit in order.
Xiao Chen was naturally sitting at the main table. When he looked around, he didn't see any young people... most of them were in their forties or fifties!
This made Xiao Chen couldn't help but smile wryly, it's too good, but also so bad!
He was with so many middle-aged men, and he also felt that he was old.
As the organizer, Madman Chu looked at Xiao Chen after saying a few words.
Xiao Chen had no choice but to stand up and say a few polite words.
When he finished speaking, the applause continued.
Especially when they looked at him, there was a feeling of... It's a pity that it's not my son.
This feeling makes Xiao Chen very upset, damn it, is the new generation in the capital really that bad? It doesn't mean that there is not even a single person in such a huge capital, right?
"If you want to be the leader of the martial arts alliance, it is good to befriend them."
After drinking a glass of wine, Madman Chu whispered to Xiao Chen.
"Huh? Why?"
Xiao Chen was taken aback, why did he get involved with the leader of the martial arts again?
"Families in the capital... In fact, not only in the capital, but all the big and small families in the whole country are more or less connected with the forces of the ancient martial arts world! One of the reasons for the imperial court's fear of the ancient martial arts world is also because of this."
Madman Chu whispered.
"Oh?"
Xiao Chen was a little surprised.
"No matter how much you practice, you are still a human being, and you have to eat, drink, and scatter... There are too few real hidden forces who live in the deep mountains and forests and are self-sufficient."
Madman Chu smiled.
"So, there is a connection with the secular world."
"I see."
Xiao Chen nodded.
After a few glasses of wine, Xiao Chen frowned slightly.
For some reason, he panicked, as if something was about to happen, and it was something bad.
"What's wrong?"
Madman Chu noticed Xiao Chen's abnormality and asked.
"nothing."
Xiao Chen shook his head, but his eyes scanned the surroundings. Did this bad feeling come from the surroundings?
But he looked around and found nothing dangerous.
It shouldn't be there.
Moreover, this feeling is not a sense of crisis.
This made him even more flustered. What's going on?
"Come on, Brother Xiao, let me toast you."
Someone came over and said to Xiao Chen.
"haha okay."
Xiao Chen suppressed the bad feeling in his heart, smiled, picked up the cup, and killed it with his head raised.
Just as he put down the glass, the phone rang.
Hearing the ringtone of the mobile phone, his heart trembled suddenly. Could it be that the bad feeling came from this phone call?
He ignored the person in front of him, took out his phone, and glanced across the screen—Su Xiaomeng.
Su Xiaomeng?
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and pressed the answer button.
"Little Meng..."
Just as Xiao Chen said two words, he heard Su Xiaomeng's cry from over there: "Brother Chen, it's not good, my sister is missing."
"what?!"
Hearing Su Xiaomeng's words, Xiao Chen screamed, and even the hand holding the phone trembled a few times.
The people around, seeing Xiao Chen losing his composure, were also stunned, and then they all raised their ears, ready to listen carefully, what happened... What could make Xiao Chen lose his composure like this?
It shouldn't be a small matter!
Otherwise, he would definitely not lose his composure on this occasion!
As the person who knew Xiao Chen best at the scene, Madman Chu was about to frown, what happened?
Xiaomeng?
Is it Su Xiaomeng?
Something happened to Long Hai?
"My sister is missing, her phone is turned off... I went to the company to look for it, and they said that my sister didn't go to the company all day today, and I went back to Su's house. No one has seen my sister... Brother Chen, you said sister Will something happen?"
Su Xiaomeng cried and said.
"Xiaomeng, don't be in a hurry and don't cry... Tell me carefully, what's going on? Your sister... Since when did you find out that you can't find her, can't be contacted?"
Xiao Chen tried to calm himself down and asked in a deep voice.
"After I left home in the morning, I went to Haifu Mountain to see my brother... I stayed in Haifu Mountain all morning and came back at noon! During this period, there was nothing unusual. In the evening, my sister hadn't come back yet, so I gave her Call... I called her, but her cell phone was turned off. I thought her cell phone was out of battery, so I called the company again and said that my sister hadn't been there all day..."
Listening to Su Xiaomeng's words, Xiao Chen frowned. Missed for a day?
"Where is Qingcheng Company? Have you asked?"
Xiao Chen thought of something and asked.
"Yeah, I've already asked, but it didn't happen...I asked my sister's secretary and assistant, but they didn't get in touch with her today! Su's house, the company, I searched all the places my sister could go I can't find any."
Su Xiaomeng was very scared, afraid that something would happen to her sister.
"Xiaomeng, don't worry, I'll go back right away!"
Xiao Chen said in a deep voice.
"You are waiting for me at home, don't worry, your sister will be fine!"
"Really? I'm so scared..."
"Really, I promise, your sister will be fine, I'll go back right away, wait for me!"
Xiao Chen comforted Su Xiaomeng, but his heart was in a mess.
