"There's a new mission from the organization," Song Huawu said. "Why do you care about me?"
"I don't care about you. If you want to stay, then stay." Xiao Chen shrugged. Unlike Ye Xiaoye and Hong Zhu, there was always some vigilance and estrangement between him and Song Huawu. It might be because they were not familiar with each other.
Xiao Chen took out his mobile phone and was about to check the Warrior Guild app to see if anyone had accepted his mission. However, he received an anonymous email on his mobile phone. He didn't know who sent it.
Xiao Chen opened it casually. He thought it was an advertisement, but he unexpectedly found a strange sentence — — "Cheng Zhongfan → Cheng Mengqiang → Cao Yuliang."
Huh? Xiao Chen looked at the short message in his hand with a strange expression. What did this mean?
He frowned and raised his eyebrows slightly. The person who sent the email must know Xiao Chen. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent these three names. However, what did this mean?
Cao Yuliang had always been targeting him. Did the higher-ups mean that Cheng Mengqiang and Cheng Zhongfan were the masterminds behind the scenes? However, after thinking about it, this matter should be very secretive. He had investigated for so long without any clues, and Cao Yuliang had not exposed any additional information.
However, this email clearly revealed the relationship between the three. Although it was only a hint, it was already very obvious.
Xiao Chen couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Who was it that wanted to help him? Or could it be that this email was deliberately sent by someone and not the truth?
Shen Zhenghao and Chen Huanling had also received anonymous emails before, hinting at something. However, the hinting might not be the truth. Xiao Chen was now a little suspicious of Cheng Mengqiang.
If Cheng Mengqiang was the mastermind, then Cheng Mengqiang's first step would be to kill him and his second step would be to get engaged to Xiao Xiao. In the future, Cheng Mengqiang would be able to annex the Xiao Clan because the Xiao Clan had no successor.
No wonder when he heard the Eldest Miss said that Cheng Mengqiang and Xiao Xiao were engaged, he had a flash of inspiration and felt that something was wrong. Now he figured out the key point! If Cheng Mengqiang was really the mastermind behind the scenes, then he was the biggest beneficiary of this matter!
But then again, Xiao Chen was a little puzzled. What did the Cheng family see in the Xiao family? The Xiao family was not a business family, and their business level was very limited. Their family's wealth was not rich. When the Xiao family died, even if he annexed the Xiao family, there would not be much wealth.
On the other hand, the Cheng family had several commercial companies, which made several times more money than the Xiao family. They should not care about the Xiao family at all.
The Xiao family's remaining reputation was one of the nine well-known families. But the Cheng family was originally a well-known family, and it was the head of the well-known families. They would not covet such a reputation, because it was impossible for the Cheng family to divide half of the family to replace the Xiao family and become another well-known family. It was simply an unnecessary move.
Therefore, Xiao Chen fell into doubt. With the identity and status of the Cheng family, there was no need to play this kind of conspiracy to annex. It took a lot of effort, and the gain was not proportional to the effort.
After exiting the email, Xiao Chen planned to observe for a while. He did not believe it directly, nor did he doubt it. Instead, he wanted to judge with his own eyes. After all, it was much easier to find a target. He just needed to see if they would give the game away.
But what made Xiao Chen a little hesitant was whether to talk to the Eldest Miss or not. After all, it involved the Cheng family. If it was really Cheng Mengqiang and his son who were behind it, then he could only send them to see Chen Jinpeng.
Xiao Chen was not used to letting those who were a threat to him live in this world. The Cheng family had not reached the point where he could ignore it! Xiao Chen no longer put a clown like Cao Yuliang in his eyes. If he wanted to kill him, he could do it at any time.
He was just afraid that if he touched him, it would alert the people behind him. But now it seemed that if he touched Cao Yuliang, would Cheng Mengqiang take the initiative to jump out? Hmm … It was necessary to design it well.

Hong Zhu used to stay in the pharmacy every night, but last night, after discovering the Charming Bones' aura, she prepared to temporarily station near the villa to continue sensing this aura!
So that morning, Hong Zhu found a daily rental apartment in the villa district. She paid for a week's rent and planned to stay there for a week.
However, just as Hong Zhu finished renting the apartment, she received a call from Medicine Master Chen!
"Grandpa Chen, are you looking for me?" Hong Zhu asked.
"Little Hong Zhu, did the two customers I mentioned yesterday go to the pharmacy? Why didn't you call me? " Medicine Master Chen was outside with Hong Yan, so he could not rush back to the pharmacy. The young girl who came to the pharmacy yesterday had asked him for help, so he planned to let Hong Zhu handle it in the store. When the time came, he could use the remote control to ask Hong Zhu to help check on the patient's condition and tell her how to prepare the medicine.
However, there was no news until the next morning, which surprised Medicine Master Chen. So, he called Hong Zhu to find out what was going on.
"Ah, they came, but they left again." Hong Zhu was a little embarrassed. "Yesterday, I had something to do, so I didn't go to the pharmacy. I asked a friend to stay there. I heard that the two people came and left."
"What?!" Medicine Master Chen was shocked, and his voice changed. "Little Hong Zhu, you don't know who they are. They came and left because they couldn't find them. If they go back and criticize our Hong Chamber of Commerce, the impact will be huge!"
"It can't be that serious, right?" Hong Zhu was stunned. She did not expect the situation to be so serious. Last night, she was not at the store because she had something to do, so she let Xiao Chen look after her for a while. How could she have known that the two people's departure would have a negative impact on the Hong Chamber of Commerce?
"Sigh, forget it. This is all we can do now. I hope they don't think that our Hong Chamber of Commerce went back on its word …" Medicine Master Chen sighed. There was no point in saying anything else.
Hong Zhu frowned as she held the phone in her hand …
At night, Xiao Chen went to Hong Zhu's pharmacy to buy medicinal ingredients. The medicinal ingredients from last time had already been used three times. They could not be used anymore and had to be replaced with new ones.
In the pharmacy, Xiao Chen saw a distressed Hong Zhu. From what he remembered, this little demon girl always had a charming smile on her face. She had never looked distressed before!
"What's wrong, Hong Zhu? Did you lose money?" Xiao Chen walked in and asked. In any case, the White Fox's identity had already been exposed, and Hong Zhu knew about it as well, so he did not need to be as secretive as before. In his opinion, Hong Zhu was extremely greedy, and he would only have such an expression when he lost money.
"Don't mention it. The two guests yesterday were very important. I didn't see Medicine Master Chen or Medicine Master Lu. I was afraid that they would be dissatisfied and spread unfavorable news about the Hong Chamber of Commerce," Hong Zhu said. "It's all my fault. I left in a hurry yesterday and didn't explain things to you clearly."
"Oh, I didn't offend them. Don't worry so much." In Xiao Chen's opinion, he had already cured the girl's master. If she spread any unfavorable news, she would be ungrateful.
"Forget it. You won't understand even if I tell you. You're here to buy medicine, right? Did the summit delay your training? That's why you haven't come for so many days? "Hong Zhu asked." Same old thing? "
"Yes, same old." Xiao Chen nodded. "It took some time."
"Leng Youxiang's Extreme Ice Sect has begun to inquire about you. If there's nothing important, don't use White Fox's identity to appear again. Right now, both the Li Family and Extreme Ice Sect want to cause trouble for you. Be careful," Hong Zhu reminded him.
"Understood." Xiao Chen nodded.
Because he wanted to talk to the Young Miss at night, Xiao Chen directly bid farewell to Hong Zhu and quickly returned to the villa.
On the way home, he passed by a farmer's shop and saw that Ye Xiaoye had just bought some groceries. Xiao Chen greeted her. "Ye Xiaoye!"
"Eh? It's Xiao Chen! " Ye Xiaoye saw Xiao Chen and nodded to him. "Where did you go? Why didn't you go back with Cheng Mengying?"
Xiao Chen's return alone surprised Ye Xiaoye. Xiao Chen and Cheng Mengying went to school together in the morning, but they came back separately at night. This was not the way to avoid people's eyes and ears.
"I went to buy some herbs." Xiao Chen said. "She went back first."
"Oh, you're still brewing medicine? By the way, if you don't want to keep your formula a secret, I'll take a look at it for you. You can't just eat whatever you want, and you can't cultivate inner strength. Is there something wrong with the formula? "Ye Xiaoye asked enthusiastically.
"No need. The prescription is to strengthen the body. There's nothing special about it. The main thing is cultivation. It can't be rushed. Let's take it slowly." Xiao Chen said vaguely.
Seeing that Xiao Chen was unwilling, Ye Xiaoye didn't say anything more. The two returned to the villa together. Ye Xiaoye went to water her herbs in the flower bed at the entrance of the villa, and Xiao Chen took a bag of vegetables and meat to the kitchen to cook.
After he finished, Ye Xiaoye also came back. Cheng Mengying just finished taking a shower and went downstairs to eat.
"Hey, I haven't come down yet. Why did you eat first? You don't have any manners at all!" Cheng Mengying glanced at Ye Xiaoye who was eating, and she was a little unhappy.
There are only three people in the house. Xiao Chen cooked a meal, and you eat first?
"Don't you understand the principle of first come, first served?" Ye Xiaoye ignored it and ate by herself.
"You …" Cheng Mengying was a little angry, but when she thought about it, she couldn't win against Ye Xiaoye every time. She could only give up. She picked up the chopsticks angrily and fought with Ye Xiaoye. She said while fighting, "Xiao Chen, in the future, before I come down, you are not allowed to serve the cooked food!"
"Oh, okay." Xiao Chen responded casually.
"Spineless!" Ye Xiaoye was so angry. She thought, This Cheng Mengying will find a sense of existence from Xiao Chen.
