The former Shen Qingyue was a bit insecure and a bit naive.
But since she started dating Zhao Chen, she has become confident, independent, and self-reliant.
Later, because of Zhao Chen, she met the little fox. The little fox's heroic and valiant appearance made Shen Qingyue, who had grown up in a wealthy family, admire and be curious about her.
As a result, Shen Qingyue successfully lost weight with Zhao Chen's help, and her physical fitness also improved a lot due to Zhao Chen's special circumstances. The little fox even noticed some special potential in her.
With the help of the little fox, Shen Qingyue now also possesses considerable fighting power.
She's even straying further and further from becoming a goddess of violence.
However, the good thing is that Shen Qingyue's physical abilities are getting stronger and stronger. If she joins forces with the little fox, she can barely manage a draw against Zhao Chen.
The little fox was speechless. She had honed her skills by navigating life-or-death battles.
What's the deal with Zhao Chen? He's clearly never seen blood or been on a battlefield, yet he acts like he's been through countless battles and has an incredibly rich combat experience.
This is due to Zhao Chen's special physical condition.
Even their individual combat prowess is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Therefore, Zhao Chen was quite confident in dealing with those old guys this time.
At worst, we can just grant them equality for all beings.
Of course, to save face for the old man, Zhao Chen would still handle things in a respectable manner.
The meeting at Old Zhao's house was held as scheduled.
Zhao Qifeng and a group of old guys who had always wanted to rebel entered the venue with an air of nonchalance.
They had already made preparations and were just waiting to see the main branch make a fool of themselves.
The story of the "Prince Replaced by a Civet Cat" had already given them a spectacle in the capital.
However, the outcome was positive. Some even felt that the Zhao family had undergone a complete transformation.
They threw away a piece of trash and got a precious gem in return.
This looks like a huge windfall.
Of course, some people are not so optimistic. After so many years of forbearance, can the Zhao family truly return to its former glory?
Moreover, the masterminds behind the attack back then will not let them get away with it easily and will definitely try to sabotage them.
Therefore, there are now more people watching from the sidelines.
It's hard to say who will ultimately prevail.
Zhao Chen came with Old Master Zhao, his father, and Third Master Zhao Qilong.
As soon as he entered, he was met with the gaze of everyone present.
However, having lived three lives, he remained calm in the face of all this.
This was the first time he had ever experienced such a scene.
However, a man who dares to challenge even the Pentagon of the United States must possess an incredibly strong mental fortitude.
Therefore, the scene in front of us is nothing more than a drop in the ocean.
Moreover, when facing these old guys, Zhao Chen only showed a calm yet slightly contemptuous look, completely disregarding them.
If it's a respected elder who genuinely wants to help him, Zhao Chen will naturally be willing to respect them.
Age is not a reason for his respect; some old people are just bad people who have grown old.
This kind of person isn't worth Zhao Chen's time and effort.
The main focus of the Zhao family's meeting was the upcoming ceremony to recognize Zhao Chen as a member of the Zhao clan.
At that time, all the important people in the capital will come.
In this way, Zhao Chen, this prodigy, naturally has to make his debut in front of all the bigwigs of the Zhao family.
"Alright, everyone, I think you all understand why we're here today."
"This is my grandson, Zhao Chen."
"He is the most outstanding third-generation successor of our Zhao family."
"Previously, this child had been wandering outside for various reasons, and after going through many hardships, he finally returned to our Zhao family."
"Moreover, Zhao Chen is the most outstanding genius in our Zhao family. Before we even found him, he had already achieved tremendous success, and we are even preparing to enter a new industry because of him!"
However, just as Old Master Zhao finished speaking, Zhao Qifeng, who was standing next to him, could no longer hold back and interrupted the old man:
"Big brother, wait a moment."
"I believe that the most important quality for the heir of our Zhao family is virtue!"
"If he has any moral failings, even if he is a genius, our Zhao family will not recognize him!"
"Everyone knows that the rarer a genius is, the more serious any problems they will face if they have moral failings."
"It could even lead our Zhao family to utter ruin."
"This is no joke."
"Brother, you must be careful!"
As a result, Zhao Qiye simply gestured calmly to Zhao Chen:
"Next, it's your turn, Xiao Chen."
He didn't even have the thought of addressing Zhao Qifeng properly.
At this moment, Zhao Chen simply revealed a slightly roguish smile. He leaned back in the executive chair in the conference room, seemingly without any sign of seriousness.
In response to the words of those old men, Zhao Chen simply smiled coldly and said:
"You bunch of old geezers, are you tired of living?"
One sentence ignited the anger of all the old men present.
"You little brat, how dare you talk to me like that?"
Before the old man could finish his sentence, a throwing knife pierced the spot where he had just clapped his hands.
The old man was immediately startled and nearly fell off his seat.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Qifeng immediately challenged, "Brother, is this how your grandson behaves?"
"A prodigy? I think he's just a spendthrift! Do you even know what he's done?"
"He will drag our Zhao family into the abyss!"
Zhao Chen's smile widened: "You old codger, who do you think you are? Dragging me into the abyss?"
"You just found a ledger and assumed I did something about contraband, didn't you?"
"Don't worry, that ledger isn't mine. I should thank you for sending a group of honest police officers to find the person based on that ledger."
"Guess who they'll eventually come after?"
Upon hearing Zhao Chen's words, everyone present who was involved in the matter felt a chill run down their spines.
Zhao Qifeng's unease intensified.
He had a premonition that things were going a little too smoothly.
There was absolutely no reaction from Old Zhao's side.
They thought it was because their actions were discreet enough that they hadn't given the other side any leverage.
But now it seems that's not the case at all. It's because everything is in the other party's hands!
Now, the group of old guys couldn't help but look at each other, their eyes filled with uncertainty and anger!
However, there's no turning back once the arrow is released; since things have already been done, how could we possibly stop?
They still wouldn't give up:
"Stop playing tricks! Since you know we're investigating, even if you've tampered with things, what's done is done, and those dirty deeds can't be erased!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Chen's smile grew even colder:
"Remember what you just said. Don't cry too much later, and whatever you do, don't even think about begging for mercy!"
