During the charity dinner, Murong Tian had publicly announced that Xiaoyao would be taken care of by Chen.
That was why almost all of Murong Tian's former subordinates knew who Chen was, and treated him very well.
However, this man in a suit and leather shoes was the only one who completely ignored Chen's existence.
On the surface, it seemed like he was not giving Chen any face, but it was also a violation of Murong Tian's will.
"This man has ulterior motives!"
That was Chen's first thought.
However, everyone else was so anxious that they did not notice this obvious detail.
"Let me in!"
Xiaoyao was a girl who valued friendship. She was so anxious that her eyes turned red. She was the first one to enter the room.
"You can't go in!"
The man in a suit blocked Chen's way.
"Who are you?" Chen asked coldly.
"Hmph! You don't even know me, Gu Caozhuo! "The man in the suit said condescendingly," Chen Xiaobei, you really do live up to your reputation! "
Chen Xiaobei could feel the hostility. Naturally, he had to retaliate. "Hehe … At least I have a reputation! At least I'm better than a nobody like you! What the hell is this Gu? I've never even heard of this name before! "
"You …" Gu Caozhuo was so angry that his face turned red.
In the underground world of Green Vine City, everyone who knew about Murong Tian knew about Gu Caozhuo. Everyone was willing to give him some respect.
However, Gu Caozhuo had become a nobody when it came to Chen Xiaobei.
This was infuriating!
"Bro Bei! You're still young. You might not know this, but Brother Caozhuo is Master Tian's successor! He's called Little Master Tian! "
"We're all on the same side! Harmony is the most important thing! Don't let a small misunderstanding affect our relationship! "
...
The people in the corridor tried to explain and persuade Gu Caozhuo.
However, Gu Caozhuo did not buy it. He said coldly, "I've never acknowledged this kid as one of us!"
Chen Xiaobei squinted and studied Gu Caozhuo.
From his appearance, he seemed to be a narrow-minded person. His eyes were filled with jealousy and wariness.
Chen Xiaobei could immediately guess why Gu Caozhuo was so hostile towards him.
Murong Tian had entrusted his daughter to Chen Xiaobei instead of Gu Caozhuo.
He was jealous that Chen Xiaobei had earned Murong Tian's unconditional trust, and worried that Chen Xiaobei would take away his position as the successor of the Murong Family.
It would be strange if they weren't filled with hostility!
"You are an uncle in your forties after all. Why are you still so jealous like a woman?" Chen pouted and laughed.
"What did you say? When did I ever envy you? "
Gu Caozhuo was furious that Chen Xiaobei had seen through him. "I, Gu Caozhuo, am a lone wolf in the underworld! I get whatever I want! Jealous of a little brat like you? What kind of joke is this? "
"Aren't you too excited? It's like I stepped on your tail! "Chen laughed.
"I …" Gu Caozhuo was taken aback. He suddenly realized that his reaction was a little too obvious.
Gu Caozhuo's face flushed with embarrassment as the people around him pointed at him and whispered among themselves.
"What are you still doing at the door? Come in! "Xiaoyao urged from inside the room.
"Alright! I'm coming! "
Gu Caozhuo turned to Chen Xiaobei and said coldly, "Kid! You have no right to enter! Be a good boy and wait outside … "
Before he could finish his sentence, Xiaoyao added, "Uncle Gu, don't come in. Wait outside for a while. Third Elder has something to say to Chen Xiaobei in private! "
"Pfft …" Gu Caozhuo's face turned green as he cursed Xiaoyao.
"Holy shit! Is this what it means to be slapped in the face? Piak! Piak! Piak! Piak! "Chen Xiaobei laughed mockingly, pushed Gu Caozhuo away and walked in.
"I …" Gu Caozhuo's face was filled with disbelief. The jealousy in his heart had escalated. He was already planning to kill Chen Xiaobei.
He entered the ICU.
Chen Xiaobei finally saw the legendary Third Elder.
He was an old man in his seventies, lying on a huge bed.
There were many sophisticated instruments around him. They were connected to each other through pipes, monitoring the old man's vital signs. The instruments would automatically alert the doctors if anything were to happen to him.
"You're Chen Xiaobei, right?" Third Elder asked slowly. His voice was weak and listless.
"Yes, I'm Chen Xiaobei. But, I still don't know who you are." Chen Xiaobei asked politely.
"Let me introduce you."
Xiaoyao saw that the old man was struggling to speak, so she said, "Third Elder is my dad's best friend. He's my dad's teacher and friend! Half of the credit for my dad's success in Green Vine City is thanks to Third Elder's help! "
"Lady Xiaoyao, you're exaggerating … Master Tian is a talented man. I'm just the icing on the cake …"
Third Elder's position was very high, but he was very humble. That alone was enough to make him much better than Gu Caozhuo.
Unfortunately, Third Master was already very old, and he was seriously ill. Otherwise, Gu Caozhuo would never have the chance to be Murong Tian's successor.
"Third Elder, what do you want to teach me? I'm all ears. "Chen Xiaobei said seriously.
"I'm not teaching you anything. I just want to tell you about the current situation in Green Vine City …"
Third Elder said slowly, "The people that you saw today are only one-fifth of Master Tian's men … Do you know where the other four-fifths have gone to?"
"If I'm not mistaken, those people have changed their allegiance. Some of them have even become our enemies!" Chen Xiaobei said bluntly.
"That's right …"
Third Elder nodded and said seriously, "I've received news that Qiu Hairui has been buying people's hearts. He's formed the Black Gang to kill you! At the same time, he has also announced that he's going to take over all the forces that refuse to submit to him. He's going to unify the underground world of Green Vine City! "
"Heh … This idiot is really ambitious!"
Chen Xiaobei was not affected at all. He even wanted to laugh. "Third Elder, you don't have to worry at all! Qiu Hairui's actions are all part of my plan! "
"What? That's your plan? "Third Elder was shocked.
"Yes."
Chen Xiaobei nodded and said, "I can easily kill Qiu Hairui with one slap! The reason why I let him live until today is to wait for him to gather all the people with ulterior motives! Then, I'll kill them all at once! This way, I'll be able to solve everything once and for all! "
"Oh my god … I can't believe that you actually came up with such a plan … The younger generation will surpass the older in time …"
Third Elder was shocked when he heard Chen Xiaobei.
If his plan worked, then Chen Xiaobei would be the one to unify Green Vine City.
But, if the situation got out of control, this plan would be no different from digging his own grave!
This Chen Xiaobei really has guts!
When it comes to ambition, Qiu Hairui is nothing!
* Huff … * Hiss … Huff … *
Third Elder's condition was not good to begin with. His agitation made it hard for him to breathe.
At the same time, the devices around him started to sound their alarms.
