During the banquet, Hong Lie was extremely fawning over Xiao Chen. From his words, it seemed that he wanted to get Yang Jiannan's support. However, Xiao Chen was just feigning civility. If he was on good terms with Hong Zhu, how could he be on good terms with Hong Lie? Moreover, Hong Lie was obviously very ambitious.
As for Chen Huan Ling, Xiao Chen could also see that he was both afraid and happy about Yang Jiannan's identity. He probably wanted to borrow his strength, but it was obvious that the relationship between father and son was not very good.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Xiao Chen waved his hand and said, "Bring me all the information you have on Xiao Chen. I want to take a good look. This brat almost killed me before. I need to understand him. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. What if this brat attacks me again?"
"You're right!" Chen Huan Ling naturally hated Xiao Chen. He also didn't want Xiao Chen to launch a sneak attack on Yang Jiannan. If Yang Jiannan was finished, the Chen family would also be finished. Hong Lie and Qiao Enze were also very fawning over Xiao Chen, so they naturally wouldn't stop him.
Especially since Qiao Enze also hated Xiao Chen to the core. Therefore, with these few big shots joining hands to make the final decision, those top secret information that could only be accessed by outsiders after an application from the higher-ups were all brought out.
Xiao Chen sat in the conference room, looking at the mountain of files. He felt a headache coming on, but he couldn't tell the others that he was actually looking for information on his father, Xiao Feng. He could only hint to Lu Shuangshuang and ask her to help him look through the files. If she saw any information on Xiao Feng, she should immediately give it to him.
After sending the others away, Xiao Chen went back to the conference room and looked through the files.
"So your parents also disappeared. I thought I was the only pitiful person living with my grandmother!" Lu Shuangshuang sighed while looking.
"Well, it's not really pitiful. I'm still luckier than you because the Xiao family treated me very well. Even now, they still miss me." Xiao Chen said, "By the way, what about your parents?"
"My parents divorced when I was very young. My father was a gambling addict and lived in the countryside. My grandmother didn't recognize him anymore. My mother saw him like this and ran away with someone else, leaving my brother and me at my grandmother's place …" Lu Shuangshuang sighed.
"You have a brother?" Xiao Chen was slightly surprised.
"Yes, my brother is in middle school. He lives on campus and rarely goes home. Lu Shuangshuang said, "But I'm doing quite well now. I met you, but … don't despise me. Although I'm not from a good family, I'm not bad looking. You can't throw me away after a few times!"
"How could that be? Didn't we agree …" Xiao Chen realized that Lu Shuangshuang was a girl who lacked a sense of security. Perhaps it had something to do with her being abandoned by her parents when she was young.
Parents were the people a child trusted the most. If they abandoned the child, who would the child trust in the future? Lu Shuangshuang was afraid that Xiao Chen wouldn't want her. She wasn't worried for nothing.
"Alright, but I have to keep you fresh. I can't just agree when you want me," Lu Shuangshuang said.
"Hehe …" Xiao Chen laughed.
There were a lot of dossiers, and many of them were related to the Xiao Clan. For every big clan, the Martial Artist Guild and the Martial Artist City Square had dossiers, and there were quite a few of them.
"Huh? Xiao Chen, in the files, you're described as a super useless person. Your fiancée doesn't like you. You didn't get any response when you tried to pursue the goddess. You were bullied by your followers. You can't even cultivate … Why are you so useless? "Lu Shuangshuang was shocked.
Xiao Chen's face darkened. "What do you think?"
"I think it's fake that you can't cultivate because you're hiding your strength. But your fiancée doesn't like you, right? You didn't even get the goddess, right? "Lu Shuangshuang laughed sarcastically.
"Who said that? Didn't you see Cheng Mengying the other day? She's very close to me, "Xiao Chen said." And Shen Jingxuan. Didn't she say her boyfriend is White Fox? "
"Aiya, then these people from the Warrior Guild are all blind …" Lu Shuangshuang said.
After reading for a while, Lu Shuangshuang suddenly widened her eyes and exclaimed, "Aiya, Xiao Chen, you made a comeback? This is White Fox's file. How did you suddenly make a comeback after being chased out of the family? I feel so good. It's like I'm reading a novel … "
"…" Xiao Chen was a little speechless. Lu Shuangshuang was so flustered. If he had known this would happen, he would not have let her read it. Moreover, the pile of dossiers she was reading seemed to be about him. She had basically given up all his privacy to her.
"I can't take it anymore. I suddenly find myself admiring you. Hey, Xiao Chen, I want to do it with you again …" Lu Shuangshuang put down the file and leaned towards Xiao Chen.
"Stop fooling around. This is the conference room." Xiao Chen suppressed the impulse in his heart and continued to read the file in his hand. This was because this file contained some of the trial missions that his father had accepted. He didn't have the mood to do those things now.
"Oh … In the movies, there are not often bosses and secretaries in the conference room …" Although Lu Shuangshuang was a little disappointed, she was very happy. "It seems that you're not an animal that thinks with the lower half of your body. Not bad!"
"…" Xiao Chen continued to read the file in his hand, and Lu Shuangshuang continued to read too.
Looking at the missions that his father and Second Uncle had done, Xiao Chen was suddenly filled with emotions. Many of the missions, other than earning money, were to find some treasures that could help ordinary people embark on the path of martial arts cultivation faster!
Every time such a mission appeared, they would sign up for it immediately. Later, his father and Second Uncle had family business. Both of them couldn't leave, so his father went on the trial missions alone.
Looking at the densely packed missions, Xiao Chen felt that his father's love was as heavy as a mountain. In the Xiao family, he wasn't the only one who suffered from not being able to cultivate inner strength. He wasn't the only one who trained every day.
His father was the same. He was always thinking about ways to cultivate inner strength. As the saying goes, if you stand by the river often, how can you not wet your shoes? His father's strength wasn't very high either. After participating in so many trial missions, he finally disappeared without a trace in one of them.
Finally, Xiao Chen found the last trial mission that his father participated in. At this moment, he was extremely excited. It's here, this is it!
Hakunamata Desert, Blazing Mountain, an expedition to the ruins of an ancient sect in search of treasures.
However, at the end of the file, there was an explanation for Xiao Feng's expedition. It was because Blazing Mountain had a type of True Tempering Fire. This was a type of Heavenly Flame. It was said that bathing in the water boiled by this Heavenly Flame could cleanse one's marrow and achieve the effect of tempering one's body. It allowed ordinary people who couldn't cultivate to embark on the path of martial arts.
Of course, these were all legends. No one had ever confirmed it. However, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, Xiao Feng wouldn't give up. Therefore, this Blazing Mountain in Hakunamata Desert was definitely a place he had to go.
It was also because after he went to this place, there was no news of him at all. Including Cheng Mengying's uncle, none of them returned. However, what made Xiao Chen feel strange was that there was no other introduction in the file.
For example, who issued this mission, who organized it, who the other team members were, or what kind of treasures they were looking for were not mentioned. It was just a general description.
This made Xiao Chen a little puzzled. After all, this file about the Xiao family was very detailed from beginning to end. It even included how he picked up girls and how he wooed Kerr Lin and Shen Jingxuan.
Furthermore, the trial missions that his father and second uncle had carried out were all very detailed, including the client, the issuer, the participants, the objective, and the rewards. However, this mission was the only one that was not detailed, as if they were purposely hiding something.
"Did you find it?" Seeing Xiao Chen frown, Lu Shuangshuang immediately came over and looked at the file in Xiao Chen's hand. Then, she asked.
"Yes, I found it, but it doesn't seem to be written in detail. I don't know why …" Xiao Chen said.
"Oh? Let me see … "Lu Shuangshuang also looked at it. Indeed, she also found that this mission was not written in detail. On her side, the mission that Xiao Chen performed with Ye Bi Ya as the White Fox was described in detail.
But this was not the case. After thinking about it, Lu Shuangshuang said. "Could it be because this mission was not completed, so the record is not detailed? As for the others, they're only recorded in detail after the mission ends and the trial-taker returns? "
"That's possible." Xiao Chen listened to Lu Shuangshuang's analysis and nodded. "Then, I'll ask Chen Huan Ling and Qiao Enze to see if they know anything."
"Yes, you can ask them!" Lu Shuangshuang also agreed. The two of them guessed here, but they could not guess anything.
Xiao Chen stood up and opened the door of the conference room. However, Chen Huan Ling, Qiao Enze, and Hong Lie did not wait here. They probably also knew that Xiao Chen would not be able to finish reading the information in a short time. It would take a long time.
So they went to busy themselves first. In fact, Xiao Chen and Lu Shuangshuang also watched until the sky turned dark. It was now nine o'clock in the evening.
"Come here!" Xiao Chen casually called over a warrior disciple who was patrolling back and forth in the Warrior Guild not far away.
"Hello, Deputy Leader Yang!" When the disciple heard Xiao Chen calling him, he immediately came over. "Do you need any help?"
"You go and call Chen... Deputy President and Qiao Enze, I have something to talk to them about!" Just as Xiao Chen wanted to say Chen Huan Ling, he suddenly remembered that he was "his son", so he could not directly call him by his name.
"Okay!" The disciple obviously knew who Xiao Chen was, so he immediately turned around and left after receiving the order.
Not long after, Chen Huan Ling and Qiao Enze came over. They knew that Xiao Chen did not leave, so they worked overtime in the Warrior Guild and did not leave early. As expected, Xiao Chen had something to talk to them about.
"Deputy Leader Yang, what's the matter?" Qiao Enze walked over and asked from afar.
"Yang Tan, have you finished reading?" Chen Huan Ling also asked.
