C427 Rumors
The news of Xiao Chen returning to the Golden Orchid didn't spread on purpose.
But now, he was the focus of everyone's attention. Therefore, even if he didn't spread the news on purpose, everyone would know that he had returned.
On the second day after the news of his return to the Golden Orchid spread, two pieces of news started spreading with the Golden Orchid as the source.
The first was that the Yov family had suffered a setback this time. Even the patriarch of the Yov family, You Yuandong, and Xiao Chen had lowered their heads.
Not only that, the three great Houtian masters of the Yov family had also fallen into Xiao Chen's hands.
Therefore, everyone was guessing who would be the next unlucky one in the Yov family.
Of course, the news of Wen Shuyi coming to the Golden Orchid was a secret.
Her identity must not be exposed!
So at present, there was only one person that everyone knew. Xiao Chen was not only a master in the Postnatal Realm, but also had a companion in the Postnatal Realm.
It was as if a super family that was on par with the Hidden Clan had been born in everyone's ears.
This family's surname was Xiao.
Regardless of whether Xiao Chen was willing or not, or what the Muh family, Zhang family, and the others thought.
The entire Chu and Zhang Alliance families were regarded as vassals of this super Xiao family.
Once this news was spread, it garnered a lot of attention.
This was because Zhang Xiaoxiao, Gu Zhaonian, and the others attended an event together and were asked this question by the reporters.
However, neither Zhang Xiaoxiao nor Gu Zhaonian responded to this rumor directly.
Of course, this was not the only news.
There was another piece of news that spread in the dark.
However, the scope of this news was much smaller, and it had spread from underground.
According to the rumors, Xiao Chen's next step wasn't just to attack the Du family, but also to find those families that had betrayed the Merchant Union to settle the score.
It was precisely because this news wasn't spread through the surface, but also from the Golden Orchid.
Therefore, everyone guessed that this was the exact words that the people of the Dragonwing Hall had revealed.
Not only did this indirectly corroborate the first rumor, it also inexplicably increased the credibility of these two rumors.
Of course, Dragonwing Hall had never mentioned this matter in public.
Even so, once this news was spread, those families who had left the Merchant Union immediately became nervous.
The time Chu Huaiyu spent on the phone this day was more than the past two or three months.
In the end, she simply put all these annoying numbers on the blacklist.
At this moment, the call could not be made.
Whether it was pleas for mercy or visitors, they were all out of the question.
Then, these family members were all as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
However, Xiao Chen just sat there calmly, and even drank tea with Old Master Zhang.
Before he left last time, he went to a secret laboratory.
Now, Prof. Qian had sorted out all the information he wanted, and even made a few plans.
In addition, the documents he brought over also wrote a large pile of chemical equations.
However, Xiao Chen did not understand half of it.
"Is there anything that can be successfully compounded here?"
"Yes, there is, but the process is very troublesome. You can really..."
The old man took a deep breath. He did not know what to say about Xiao Chen's outrageous idea.
"Anyway, we are already in a dead end. One more person means one more thought. Anyway, we have nothing to do anyway."
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and put away the information. After that, he ordered Jiang Loong to collect the herbs immediately.
"Is there anyone busier than you in the world?"
Old Master Zhang shook his head and smiled. He glanced at Xiao Chen's face and said in a teasing tone.
Xiao Chen only smiled and did not answer.
As they were talking, Zhang Xiaoxiao came in from outside the door. Once she sat down, she rolled her eyes at Xiao Chen.
"What's wrong with you again?" Xiao Chen immediately looked over and asked in a low voice.
"I don't know who is the one who has nothing better to do after eating. He is talking nonsense everywhere."
Zhang Xiaoxiao's eyelids twitched. Clearly, she was very angry. As she spoke, she gave Xiao Chen a fierce glare.
"But there are some rumors. Why do you have to listen to them?" Old Master Zhang frowned and spoke in a deep voice.
The rumors had spread far and wide, and Old Master Zhang had naturally heard them a long time ago.
"But..."
"Alright, how's the preparation for the new case?"
The old man waved his hand and interrupted Zhang Xiaoxiao before she could finish speaking. He still asked in a stern tone.
Xiao Chen looked at the grandfather and grandson pair and smiled faintly. He did not explain anything. He greeted the two of them and said goodbye.
As soon as Xiao Chen left, Old Master Zhang's expression immediately relaxed. He looked deeply at Xiao Chen's back and his eyes flickered.
Zhang Xiaoxiao was still complaining, "Grandfather, you didn't hear what those bastards said. I don't understand. When did our Zhang family become Xiao Chen's vassal? But Xiao Chen... "
"Enough!" Old Master Zhang interrupted her coldly and swept his gaze across her face with a warning.
"Other people use a simple diversionary tactic, don't tell me you can't see it?"
The old man's tone was stern as he said to Zhang Xiaoxiao seriously, "If Xiao Chen really has this intention, he will not be the one coming to my place today."
"Grandfather, you..."
"The old man said, Alright, go and do what you need to do. I'm tired, I need to rest for a while. "
Old Master Zhang waved at Zhang Xiaoxiao and stood up. He put his hands behind his back and slowly walked into the room.2
But for some reason.
At this moment, looking at her grandfather's back, Zhang Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a sense of melancholy and nasal soreness.
Rubbing her nose forcefully, Zhang Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and ultimately did not follow. She turned around and left.
Xiao Chen sat in the car and squinted his eyes as he looked back at the Zhang family.
When he turned around, the expression in his eyes suddenly became much colder.
"I thought you guys wouldn't take action, but after waiting for so long, you guys only made such a small fuss?"
Looking at the void, Xiao Chen muttered in a low voice. After saying that, he didn't stay any longer and started the engine to leave.
Just as he arrived at Dragonwing Hall, a figure jumped out.
"Master, you are finally back." It was a middle-aged man. His tone was filled with joy and anxiety.
"How's the situation in Ye family?"
Xiao Chen naturally knew who this man was. He had seen this man before in Ye family. He was a branch of Ye family, and his name was Ye Dong.
"The Ye family can't hold on any longer. Please save the Ye family!"
"The Du family isn't planning to stop, is it?" Xiao Chen curled his lips and said in a low voice.
"Let them keep shaking the things outside. It's fine if the Ye family goes bankrupt, but if this continues, the people of the Ye family will be in charge."
Ye Dong's face was bitter as he spoke. He even rubbed his palm uneasily.
It was obvious that Ye Dong was involved in some of the things that Ye Yi Xia had brought to the Du family.
Xiao Chen took a deep look at this guy.
"Go back and tell your family's old man not to be anxious! Tell him that there will be a result in these two days!"
Xiao Chen waved his hand and was confident.
He was not just sitting and drinking tea.
However, before he could figure out the background of the Du family, he was ready to change his plan.
