Chapter 109: Life is always like this, nothing can stop you from laughing (two in one)
Chen An looked extremely uneasy, and was stunned when he heard that. Then he took a deep breath in a daze.
He looked at his elder brother again.
He had actually prepared himself mentally for this matter all night.
Before Chen Kuang fell into a coma, he had actually been asked this question, asking him to think carefully about whether he wanted to become the leader of the Cao Gang.
Chen An's first reaction after hearing this question was absurdity.
The Cao Gang is so big with countless masters, how come it is his turn to be the gang leader?
Unless all these people are dead!
But then, Chen An realized that the Cao Gang's greatest master, the gang leader Fan Hailong, had now died at the hands of his own eldest brother, and that Fan Hailong's head had been offered to the True Dragon King in front of everyone.
Moreover, he now knew that the only Class A token of "Tu Zhengguan" was in Chen Kuang's hands. In other words, he was actually... also Chen Kuang's subordinate.
Chen An recalled how he once asked Pei Xiu to help investigate Chen Kuang, and how the latter had been vague and perfunctory at the time, refusing to reveal any information at all.
But despite this, Pei Xiu still based on his "own judgment" that Chen Kuang posed no threat to the Chen family.
And now, Pei Xiu was standing behind Chen Kuang with his head lowered, acting as a background board... Everything made sense, damn it.
In short, the county magistrate of Ji Shao County is gone, and the local tyrants are now in a state of disarray.
If Chen Kuang gave the order, who in the Cao Gang would dare to disobey?
The only thing that Chen An couldn't get over was the problem in his own heart.
After all, he had spoken nonsense in front of Chen Kuang before, and he always suspected that he might be pretending.
Even though Chen Kuang didn't seem to care, when Chen An thought of this, he felt like turning around and banging his head against a pillar. Feelings of shame and humiliation surged into his brain.
Chen Kuang was sold and gambled his life to save his entire family. When he returned home, he was treated as a liar. Only his mother was willing to believe him sincerely.
In the end, the Chen family's wealth and prosperity almost vanished, and he had to save them again.
Chen Andu was still okay, but Chen Rong hadn't said a word since last night. This time, he didn't even sit in the main seat, but sat next to him with Gan Tang.
It goes without saying who this main seat is for.
But unfortunately, Chen Kuang didn't seem to appreciate it. He started talking about business as soon as he came in and didn't even intend to sit down.
Having said that, when Chen An was thinking last night, he actually considered the most realistic problem.
That is, he had only opened the second acupoint, which is commonly known as the eight meridians opening state.
Even if Chen Kuang gave the order now and asked the Cao Gang to bow their heads temporarily, what would happen to the Cao Gang after he left for a month or a year?
Plus, he was only seventeen.
Although he has been the branch president for two years, he is still a little timid to manage the entire Cao Gang.
In other words, it was precisely because he had seen the scale of the Cao Gang that he felt that his abilities were still somewhat insufficient.
But Chen An changed his mind and realized that his elder brother... seemed to be only nineteen years old this year, only two years older than himself, and still not yet of adulthood.
He faced the Baoyue Realm alone and broke into the County Magistrate's Mansion on a rainy night... He killed people without hesitation and walked out of the County Magistrate's Mansion with three heads in his hands. Those people from the Cao Gang, including the deputy gang leader and the innate ones, didn't dare to say a word!
This kind of heroism is exactly what Chen An yearns for and what he wants to become.
Thinking of this, Chen An instantly understood.
The fact that Chen Kuang was willing to hand over the Cao Gang to him just showed that he was not disappointed with the Chen family.
He was also willing to trust the Chen family and his younger brother Chen An.
If Chen An couldn't even do this, how could he live up to the trust placed in him? How could he repay the favor of saving his life twice?
Chen An took two steps forward, looked directly at Chen Kuang, then bowed deeply and said in a deep voice:
"I will definitely fulfill my mission!"
Chen Kuang smiled and said, "I hope that when I come back, you will be able to stand on your own."
He could understand Chen An's vigilance from the beginning. He was only staying there briefly as a shelter, but the obsession of his previous life was hard to shake off, so he did not take the initiative to explain more.
What really dispelled that obsession was that in the illusion, Chen Kuang was chased by Di Wu, and Chen An risked his life to take Chen Kuang away with him.
Chen Anke did not cheat.
An ordinary person in the Enlightenment Realm, under the pressure of a Half-Step Grandmaster, trying his best to save others is basically tantamount to committing suicide!
Having experienced the cycle of illusions many times, he knew how real the evolution of this illusion was.
In such a situation, the real Chen An would most likely make the same choice.
This was Chen An's useless effort.
But for Chen Kuang, it was the moment when his knot in his heart was truly untied.
Chen An didn't say anything more, just nodded heavily.
Gan Tang came over, took Chen Kuang's hand, and said reluctantly, "Kuang'er, are you still going to leave?"
Ever since Chen Kuang came home, she has never stopped crying. She looks sad and tearful almost every day, and worries every day that Chen Kuang will leave.
But this time when they really had to part again, she seemed much calmer.
Chen Kuang nodded and said, "I still have things to do for the time being. Don't worry, I will come back. When that happens, I will play a nice song for mother."
Gan Tang pulled out a stuffed doll from his sleeve and said with a smile, "This is something Mom made recently. Take a look."
Chen Kuang took it and looked at it. The doll looked like him.
