Chapter Twenty: The Helpless Chen Qi

  "You? You're really beyond salvation!"

  Originally wanted to use words to stimulate Chen Li, to stir up the blood in his veins that should have belonged to the Chen family, but his own painstaking efforts were used on this numb and ruthless person without any fighting spirit, and did not achieve any effect. Let Chen Qi leave with a sentence of scolding Chen Li, covering his face and rushing out.

  "Stand up, Uncle Li, who is this woman to you?"

  After Chen Qi left, the entire beef noodle shop fell into a brief silence. Everyone had different thoughts in their minds, but for various reasons, they didn't dare to speak out loud. Only Zhang Cuihua, driven by curiosity, broke the silence first.

  "I have never seen this woman before and I don't know what relationship she has with me!"

  As he watched Chen Qi walk away with a disappointed look, Chen Li's heart also felt inexplicably uneasy. It seemed that this woman didn't have any malicious intentions towards him. Could it be that she was really one of the Chen family members? But why did he not feel any connection to her at all? Just as he was desperately trying to recall the people from the Chen family, Zhang Cuihua suddenly asked a question, and he subconsciously gave an answer because in his memory, there was indeed no existence of this woman.

  "Alright, alright, Cuihua, don't ask anymore. What business is it of yours to ask about your uncle's affairs? You're just a little girl!" Wang Caixia interrupted Zhang Cuihua who was about to continue asking questions.

  Actually, Wang Caixia's idea was the same as her daughter Zhang Cuihua. She thought that the woman before must have had an unusual relationship with Chen Li, but Chen Li was afraid of implicating them and didn't dare to acknowledge her, so she stepped forward to interrupt Zhang Cuihua from continuing to ask questions, lest it would make it even harder for Chen Li to answer.

  "Everyone's had a long day, let's clean up early and go home to rest!" Zhang Fugui walked over to Chen Li's side and gently patted his shoulder before saying this to everyone in the noodle shop.

  "Big brother......" Actually, Chen Li wanted to tell Zhang Fugui that he really didn't know the woman from before, but now it seemed very difficult to explain clearly to this family of three, so he just stood there blankly, unsure of how to continue.

  "Li Er, don't say anything else. Since I've already acknowledged you as my brother, no matter what your identity is or what you'll face in the future, our family will always stand behind you!"

  Chen Li's hesitant expression made Zhang Fugui think he had some unspoken secret, and the kind-hearted and simple-minded him also thought that Chen Li was afraid of implicating them and their family, so he deliberately concealed everything from them. He interrupted Chen Li's words and instead firmly expressed his family's attitude.

  "Baby's dad, on this matter I unconditionally support you. Li is our family member, no matter what he will do in the future, even if it's not much help, we must go all out to help him!" Zhang Fugui's statement made Wang Caixia very satisfied. While looking at Zhang Fugui with eyes full of tenderness and affection, Wang Caixia also firmly expressed her heart to Chen Li.

  "Big brother, sister-in-law!" Chen Li was deeply moved and didn't know how to express his gratitude towards this kind and simple family. He could only make a silent vow in his heart that he would change their current situation as soon as possible and make them the happiest family in the world.

  "What about me? How could you all forget about me? Li Ze Uncle, I'm also one of your most loyal supporters!" Zhang Cuihua's teasing words made the atmosphere in the beef noodle shop lively again...

  "Chen Li, you bastard! Chen Li, you coward! Chen Li, you lazy bastard! Chen Li, you timid and fearful coward!"

  Chen Qi scolded Chen Li all the way back to her residence for being lazy and timid, but after sitting down at home, she fell into extreme anxiety and worry.

  Was I supposed to just watch him sell beef noodles in this remote and barren small county town? Wouldn't that mean I'd have to waste at least five years of my life in this broken place? And after five years, if Lin Xue'er exhausts the power of the Lin family to hunt him down, wouldn't I still have to keep protecting him? When can I avenge the deep blood feud of my parents and Uncle Zhihui?

  Unless I voluntarily quit the "Ten Years Association", there's no way Old Man Chen would agree to let someone else take over protecting this moron! But if I were to quit the "Ten Years Association", could I, alone, avenge Uncle Zhihui and my parents' deep-seated grudge? Could I, alone, shake the power of Old Man Chen, who has been hiding in plain sight for twenty years, manipulating both the black and white worlds of China, and is known as the underground emperor of China?

  Oh heavens! Uncle Zhihui, Dad and Mom, if you are watching from above, please help Qiqi! Let that scoundrel Chen Li wake up to his mistakes sooner, let him discover his conscience sooner, and become stronger sooner!

  But no matter how Chen Qi prayed to heaven and begged, Chen Li was still the same as before, without any change. Every day, except for kneading dough on a large board outside Zhang's beef noodle restaurant with elegant posture, he was harmoniously interacting with Zhang Fugui and his family, making Chen Qi, who was secretly observing him in the dark, grit his teeth in anger.

  "Hum! I don't believe that there isn't even a bit of Uncle Shigehiko's blood spirit inherited in your veins? Since you won't listen to kind words, then don't blame me for taking some drastic measures!"

  Although my mission is to protect you, and the Lin family's people are also secretly watching you, I'll give you some trouble, find some trouble for you. I suppose the Lin family's people would be delighted to see that too! For our Chen family, it shouldn't be against the rules either!

  After thinking about all this, a bold idea slowly formed in Chen Qi's mind, and the absurd plan she inadvertently came up with forced our Chen Da Nian to embark on his journey of conquering the world ahead of time, achieving his legendary life.
