"My cousin started a project, but it failed, and then the debtor came to my house to collect the debt..."

Chen 꼎 hung up the phone and briefly explained the situation to his parents.

Upon hearing this, Chen's father and mother's expressions immediately became nervous.

"Are you okay? What's going on now?"

Chen Xiao shook his head. "My second aunt was crying on the phone, saying that the gang had smashed our house today. They said they would kidnap the couple if we didn't hand over my cousin."

"How can this be?" Chen Jianye's face looked grim.

Li Jinqiu asked, "How much money does your cousin owe?"

"A lot." Chen shook his head. "My second aunt couldn't tell me the exact amount, but she said it was at least tens of millions."

"so much……"

Everyone gasped.

"What kind of business does this kid have? Why does he owe so much money?"

"Hey, why are you running off to do business instead of being a good village chief?"

"Do you really think anyone can do this business?"

Dad Chen clapped his hands irritably, and Li Jinqiu beside him scolded him.

"What's the point of talking about this now? It's already happened. Now we have to find the child first."

Su Xuecheng and Lin Wanxiu standing by had strange expressions on their faces.

Because they are both too familiar with this kind of thing.

Su Xuecheng had just experienced this last year, and his house was smashed.

If Chen 꼎 hadn't taken action in the end, the old couple probably wouldn't have recovered by now.

Fortunately, Chen 꼎 was able to gradually sell off the remaining PHS by promoting sales through the club in Shudu.

Part of the funds have been recovered. Although their assets are far less than what they had before, the old couple are now very content.

My daughter married into a good family, and my son-in-law is promising and a big boss. The most important thing is that he loves my daughter and respects them.

So Su Xuecheng had let things go early on. He didn't want to struggle any longer for the rest of his life. The real thing was to enjoy life with his wife.

Seeing how nervous and anxious Mr. and Mrs. Chen looked, Su Xuecheng couldn't help but comfort them softly.

"Let's not get involved in this kind of thing. Leave it to Xiao Chen, he'll handle it."

Father Chen sighed and looked at his son.

"What are you going to do now?"

Chen 꼎: "What can I do? I have to go back."

Although his feelings for his relatives back home had faded, Chen couldn't really let them go, and his parents probably wouldn't agree. After all, blood ties couldn't be severed.

"Alas, today is New Year's Eve, and tomorrow will be the New Year."

"I was originally planning to celebrate the New Year here, but this happened."

"If I had known earlier, we would have gone back to our hometown to celebrate the New Year."

Father Chen sighed helplessly, then asked, "How about we pack up and go back home with you?"

Chen shook his head: "No."

"The New Year's Eve dinner is ready. There's no need to go back and forth."

"And the child is so young, it's inconvenient to go back and forth."

Chen 꼎 said, "Mom and Dad, you guys just spend the New Year at home. The driver and I will just go back."

"Can you do this alone?"

Chen nodded.

"I don't know what's going on over there right now. I have to go over and take a look."

Su Xuecheng said at this time: "Let Ruchu go with you."

"It's Chinese New Year, how can you go back alone? At least the couple will have a companion on the road."

"Don't worry about the child, we will take good care of him."

Upon hearing this, Father Chen nodded.

"Yes. Let Ruchu go with you. We will take good care of the child."

Over there, Su Ruochu had already stood up and prepared to go upstairs to pack her things.

Seeing Su Ruochu's expression, Chen Yu guessed that she would not refuse, so he nodded and agreed.

"Mom and Dad, I'm afraid I won't be able to have New Year's Eve dinner with you tonight. You two should have a good drink, and we'll catch up when I get back."

Su Xuecheng said with a smile: "Don't worry about us, we will have a good New Year's Eve tonight."

Chen 꼎 squatted down and rubbed Yiyi's head.

"Be good at home and wait for dad to come back and give you a big red envelope."

Yiyi nodded obediently, "Dad Chen, please be careful on the road."

"Okay. Kiss."

Yiyi came over and kissed Chen on the face.

Then Chen 꼎 picked up Doudou again.

"Doudou, be sure to listen to your grandparents at home. Daddy will be back soon."

"Daddy, hold me, Daddy, hold me..."

Doudou could already speak simple sentences. As if he knew his father was going out, he held Chen 꼎's neck tightly with both hands and refused to let go.

Chen 꼎 also reminded her parents: "Don't let Doudou get too close when she sets off firecrackers tonight."

"Don't worry. We have a plan."

At this time, Su Ruochu had packed up her things and went downstairs, asking Chen 꼎 if there was anything else she needed to bring.

Chen 꼎 shook his head.

"No, let's just go."

After handing the child to his grandmother, Chen 꼎 and Su Ruochu left together.

"Goodbye, Daddy Chen!"

Yiyi waved her little hand vigorously at the door, and Chen Xiao lowered the car window and waved.

"Let's all go back. The noodles are quite cold."

Su Xuecheng warned: "It looks like it's going to snow, drive slowly and be careful."

"I know, Dad. Let's go back."

Driving down the mountain, Su Ruochu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, took out a small loaf of bread from her bag, tore it open and handed it to Chen 꼎.

"You've been so busy that you haven't even had a bite to eat? Here!"

Chen 꼎 smiled and said, "My wife really knows how to love me."

Taking a bite of half a piece of bread, Chen 꼎 said, "I've given Zhang Shun a holiday. Let's not contact him. Let him spend the New Year at home with his partner."

"Um."

"I don't know if Lao Feng has returned home, so I won't contact him for now."

Chen 꼎 glanced through the rearview mirror and confirmed that there were two cars behind him before concentrating on driving.

Su Ruochu asked curiously, "What's going on with your cousin?"

"I was confused by what I heard at home before, so I didn't feel comfortable asking."

Chen 꼎 sighed.

"Don't mention it. This bastard! He's so bold."

In fact, the first time they met, Chen Xiao was a little worried about the changes in his cousin Gao Shengbo.

After becoming the village chief, he not only abandoned his fiancée girlfriend, but also found a beautiful woman with heavy makeup.

However, since it was someone else's private matter at the time, Chen 꼎껩 didn't want to interfere.

But who would have thought that this time my cousin would be even bolder.

Because of his status as Chen's cousin, Gao Shengbo has been very popular in the county and even in the community over the past period of time. Even the leaders have to take care of him individually during meetings.

The reason is naturally that he hopes to use Chen 꼎's identity as his cousin to bring Chen 꼎 back to his hometown to invest in a project or something.

In fact, it is not the leaders' fault for this kind of thing. After all, he is a student from his hometown, but he has become very successful in Yunhai, has made a net worth of tens of billions, and has become a nationally renowned entrepreneur.

As for my hometown, Los Angeles, it hardly got any attention from beginning to end.

As a senior official, it is impossible for me not to feel jealous.

Therefore, the leaders' attention naturally fell on Chen's cousin Gao Shengbo.
