Chapter 11: Old Man Chen's Goal (Seeking Collection)

  Chen Li, male, 22 years old, from Huaxian County, Weinan City, Shaanxi Province, China. He lost his parents at a young age and has no one to rely on. His educational background is only equivalent to elementary school level, but unfortunately, he doesn't even have an elementary school graduation certificate!

  This is the new identity set by Lin Yuanshan for Chen Li. After completing these files overnight, Lin Yuanshan sent someone to pick up Chen Li from his home in a military helicopter and took him to Wei Dong County. After arranging for Chen Li's new ID card and several hundred yuan in living expenses, his former identity as the eldest son of a prominent family was gone, and he became a person at the bottom of society in Huaxia. In today's popular online terminology, he is a standard "diaosi" (a derogatory term for someone who is poor and has no skills), and this diaosi may not even be able to solve his own food and clothing problems, let alone have any survival skills. Perhaps it won't be long before he collapses on the streets of Wei Dong County due to hunger and cold, which might be a result that many people in the capital would like to see...

  At this moment, Old Master Chen sat solemnly in the taishi chair in his study, frowning tightly as if thinking about something, while Liu Shu, the steward of the Chen family, stood respectfully by his side.

  "Master, Lin Yuanshan is doing this, isn't it a bit too much? He clearly already knows that the entire thing was controlled by the Dongfang family behind the scenes, and our young master Litou was framed by them. Why does he insist on doing this? In Weidong County's poor and remote countryside, without any survival skills, how can Young Master Litou survive with just a few hundred yuan?"

  Although Guan Jia Liu Shu said that he was extremely disgusted with Chen Li's behavior in the past, after all, he was one of Chen Lao Ye Zi's most beloved grandsons. Even if it was just for show, standing in his position, he should at least speak up for Chen Li and say a few good words on his behalf. He couldn't possibly be like Chen Li's two uncles, happily leading a group of people outside to set off firecrackers and celebrate!

  "Haven't you discovered that Lizi is different from before?" Old Man Chen didn't answer Liu Shu's question, but instead asked him back.

  "Is it different? Hmm, seems like there's a bit of difference from before! But that doesn't mean he can live independently, does it?" Butler Liu touched the back of his head, looking puzzled and asked Old Master.

  "Do you think, as the grandson of Chen Bingkun and son of Chen Zhihui, he could possibly die from hunger and cold due to a lack of survival skills?" Old Man Chen asked back.

  "What's this?" Liu Shu had wanted to say, although he said that the father was a hero and the son was a good fellow, you and Chen Zhihui, as two of China's few stormy figures in nearly a hundred years, but this Chen Li, I think it's better to just forget about it! However, due to Grandfather's face, he never said it out loud, and they remained stuck there.

  "Haha, I know your views on Li Er, so let's wait and see! I believe he will continue to create miracles!"

  Old Master Chen's eyes sparkled with confidence, as if he had great faith in his grandson. This confidence stemmed from his trust in his son, Chen Zhihui. He firmly believed that Chen Zhihui, who was once the top figure among the young generation in Huaguo, would never produce a son as incompetent as Chen Li. The recent events had also led him to make a ruthless decision, using the Lin family's help to strip Chen Li of all his resources, forcing him to rely on himself and tap into the unyielding spirit inherited from his father, striving to survive first and then gradually guiding him to become a qualified successor to the Chen family. However, Old Master Chen's good intentions were still brewing and had not been revealed even to his most trusted butler, Liu Shu.

  "Yes, Master Chen, I also hope that Young Master Li can continue to create miracles!" Steward Liu seemed to be flattering Master Chen, but Master Chen didn't think much of it and continued to ask him;

  "Has Chen Qi's side been arranged?"

  After hearing this sentence, Guan Jia Liu Shu seemed to be in a bit of trouble, and after entangling for half a day, he carefully replied to the old man.

  "Master of the house, we secretly sent someone to protect Li Tuo young master. Isn't that violating the agreement with the Lin family? And on Xia Qi's side, she seems a bit unwilling to accept this task!"

  "Hmph! If anything happens to my grandson Chen Bingkun, I'll make the entire Huagu country bury him with me! Our Chen family only sent people to secretly protect him, but we won't give him any help. How can you say that's against the rules? I think the main reason is that Xia Qi doesn't want to protect Lidi." Cunning Old Master Chen saw right through it, leaving Butler Liu embarrassed and unsure of how to respond!

  "Master, you also know that Xia Qi hates those playboy young masters who toy with women in their daily lives, so she has a strong rejection of this task. Why not assign it to Chen Jiu instead? Moreover, the distance between them is relatively close, and even if they need to be taken care of, it will be more convenient!" After hesitating for half a day, Butler Liu finally came up with a plan that would satisfy both parties and suggested it to Master Chen.

  "Chen Jiu has his own mission, how can you confuse the two? You go tell Chen Qi, if she is not willing to accept this task, then I will naturally assign someone else to take over her identity as 'Chen Qi', and she can leave the 'Ten Years Association' organization with a clear conscience, or even completely sever ties with our Chen family, I won't have any opinion!"

  Although Mr. Chen's face was calm as water, the anger expressed in his words made Lao Liu, who had served him for many years, tremble with fear and hastily replied on behalf of Chen Qi.

  "Household owner, Xia Qi is just momentarily confused. I hope you won't mind. I'll go and severely scold her, let her set off to Wei Dong County immediately to protect Young Master Li!"

  Guan Jia Liu Shu hastily retreated after finishing speaking, going to assign tasks to Xiao Qi, while Old Man Chen stared blankly in the northwest direction where Chen Li was for a long time before muttering to himself.

  "Alright son, this is all I can do for you! From now on, I'll be expecting great things from you!"
