He wasn't a member of the Chen family, so it didn't matter to him who the Chen family ended up in.
"Mr. Wu, I like to joke with the old man, please don't take it seriously." Chen Liang's face was full of smiles.
“Jokes are fine, but there’s a limit to everything,” Wu Li said coldly. “If something like this happens again, I’ll break your neck.”
Chen Liang shut his mouth tightly, not daring to say a word, while Wu Li gave him a warning look, then turned and left.
Only after the other party had disappeared without a trace did Chen Liang collapse to the ground with a thud. The power from the half-level expert had almost suffocated him.
"Hehe, Chen Liang, I thought you were so capable, but it turns out you're nothing special." With a flash, Chen Roujin walked in.
Chen Liang suddenly stood up, subconsciously taking a few steps back to distance himself from Chen Roujin.
This woman is insane, and she seems to be getting more and more wicked. Chen Liang and she are enemies, so no one can guarantee that she won't suddenly try to kill him.
So when this woman came out, Chen Liang felt it was better to keep some distance from her.
"What are you doing here?" After taking a few steps back, Chen Liang felt a little safer and then asked, composing himself.
"Just passing by, don't be so nervous." Chen Roujin sneered, "If I wanted to kill you, you wouldn't even have a chance to know. There's no need to talk to a villain like me."
Chen Liang's expression was unpredictable; indeed, Chen Roujin was becoming increasingly strange.
The sinister aura emanating from her made Chen Liang want to stay far away from her.
If she really wanted to harm me, I probably wouldn't have had a chance to escape.
"It's just a normal reaction, please excuse me." Chen Liang smiled. No matter how deep the enmity between the two, they still had to maintain appearances.
"Hehe, yes, you're going to take over as the head of the family now, your future is promising." Chen Roujin made no attempt to hide the sarcasm in her tone: "Life isn't as cheap as it used to be, so naturally you have to be careful."
"What do you want?" Chen Liang was completely unfazed by her sarcasm.
"Would you believe me if I said I was just passing by?" Chen Roujin smiled and walked towards Chen Liang: "Don't worry, I won't kill you."
"I have no feelings for Chen Zhengyi, and besides, you weren't the one who killed him. What are you afraid of?"
“That’s not what I’m afraid of.” Chen Liang frowned, subconsciously taking a few steps back to distance himself from her. “What I’m afraid of is you.”
"It's me? What do I have that could scare you like this?" Chen Roujin was slightly taken aback, somewhat puzzled.
“You’re different from before; you have more of an evil aura about you,” Chen Liang said. “I always feel that people who offend you won’t live more than three days.”
"Really? Hahaha, so that's the impression I give off." Chen Roujin laughed heartily, raising her arm and looking at her still fair hand: "I feel like I'm no different from before."
"But thinking about it, it makes sense. Someone like me is already considered strong, and my pursuits are completely different from yours."
"A strong person? Can strength really change a person? I feel you're different from before." Chen Liang was somewhat puzzled.
Yes, Chen Roujin is indeed different from before. She used to be just a simple pervert, but now every move she makes exudes a feeling that she could take your life at any moment.
That feeling of commanding all things to submit and effortlessly overturning all living beings is undeniable.
"Chen Liang, you really know nothing about power, but I don't blame you, because you're just an ordinary person and it's impossible for you to truly understand." Chen Roujin smiled faintly: "You don't need to be so afraid of me. I have no interest in you. If I really wanted to kill you, you wouldn't be alive now."
Chen Liang gritted his teeth, then suddenly raised his head: "Cousin, you are very strong now, but you have no status in the Chen family at all. Do you really want to continue like this?"
"What kind of talk is that? I really have no status in the Chen family, and nobody respects me because most people think I'm crazy." Chen Roujin laughed and said leisurely, "But I don't care. Besides, haven't you gotten rid of most of those who mocked me and looked down on me?"
“You know the Chen family’s strength,” Chen Liang said. “Although I appear to control the Chen family, there are actually far too many people who secretly resent me.”
"Moreover, I feel that the old man... has no intention of relinquishing power."
"You mean that old man Chen Wanning? Heh, he's been greedy for power his whole life." Chen Roujin sneered, "He's used to being high and mighty. Now you want him to give up his power? What's the difference between that and taking his life?"
“This old man used to look down on you. If he keeps clinging to his power, you will still be controlled by him in the Chen family,” Chen Liang said.
"He's trying to control me? Haha, no way. Do you think I'd fall for that now?" Chen Roujin laughed.
“Perhaps you don’t respect him anymore, but he is an elder, and nominally, he is our grandfather,” Chen Liang said. “Since you are a member of the Chen family, you have to be subject to his control, otherwise you will be criticized by others.”
"Anyone who dares to point fingers, I'll kill them," Chen Roujin sneered.
She has now become indifferent to life and death, and the power she possesses makes her arrogant and disdainful of everyone. She will fight anyone who dares to disobey her.
"Aren't you tired of killing people?" Chen Liang said. "Here's what we'll do: you help me get rid of one person, and I can sideline the old man. Then no one in the Chen family will be able to stand in your way."
“You have power now, but the road ahead is long. You don’t want to do everything yourself, do you?” Chen Liang kept an eye on Chen Roujin’s gaze. “The Chen family, we can share it together.”
"Joint ownership?" A strange light flickered in the depths of Chen Roujin's eyes: "Chen Liang, I don't know you well, but I know that no one would willingly give up any of their power. Your father risked his life for you to gain this position, why should you give it to me?"
“Because I have no background or connections in the Chen family, and so do you,” Chen Liang said in a deep voice. “We are actually in the same boat.”
“Now, you have power, and I control the Chen family. As long as the two of us can unite, the Chen family will be ours, and no one can touch it.”
"Is this possible?" A hint of confusion appeared in Chen Roujin's eyes, but she had to admit that she was indeed tempted.
"Why not?" Chen Liang laughed: "The old man doesn't want to relinquish power right now. As long as he's in power, there are unknown variables in the Chen family."
“But if there are any changes, then the collateral branches may make a comeback. I can’t possibly wipe them out completely, can I? If it were someone else, they certainly wouldn’t be as empathetic as we are.”
