Originally, Chen Chong's heroic words were enough to make him stand on the commanding heights of morality, and suppressed Shen Manjun who opposed him with a crushing attitude, successfully gaining the support of most of the Zhao family elders.
If Xiao Zheng doesn’t come forward—
But it was a pity that Xiao Zheng stood up and sided with Shen Manjun lightly, looking at Chen Chong with burning eyes. Say those words that brought everyone back to their senses.
Do you know Ye Shiguan
Do you know what habits Ye Shiguan has
Have you mastered Ye Shiguan's weakness
If not, why do you go out to seek revenge on Ye Shiguan in such a big way? Are the lives of your men worthless? Or are the lives of Zhao family members worthless? Just fight if you say so? Have you ever thought about who will bear the responsibility if you lose
Chen Chong glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw many Zhao family elders who had been approaching him suddenly stopped, with subtle and complicated expressions passing over their faces. It seemed that he was awakened by Xiao Zheng's words.
"Nonsense!" Chen Chong said angrily. "I have been dealing with Ye Shiguan for nearly ten years. Who among you here knows Ye Shiguan better than me?"
Xiao Zheng smiled, shook his head and said, "After nearly ten years of dealing with each other, have you ever won once?"
When Chen Chong heard this, his face suddenly darkened, and he raised his right hand and pointed at Xiao Zheng: "Xiao Zheng, you have no place to speak here! Get out if you want to live!"
"joke!"
Before Xiao Zheng could retaliate, Shen Manjun suddenly stood up and sneered: "Chen Chong, please find out your identity!"
"I have no problem with you wanting to be my father's godson. But the attitude of our Zhao family is very clear. You have nothing to do with our Zhao family anymore. On the contrary, it is Xiao Zheng, whom my father has always admired. And I —" Shen Manjun said with dignity. "I, Shen Manjun, will never marry unless he is in my life!"
As soon as this statement came out, the scene was in an uproar. Even Zhao Qingyun's face showed a hint of surprise. But due to the public gaze, he didn't say anything, he just stared at Chen Chong with hatred. Extremely indifferent.
On the other hand, Chen Chong, Li Mubai and other Zhao family's fierce generals also showed complicated and confused expressions, obviously stimulated by Shen Manjun's words.
"Is he not qualified to speak here?" Shen Manjun paused and said in a deep voice. "I think you are the outsider least qualified to speak nonsense here!"
Chen Chong clenched his iron fist and said in a cold voice: "Shen Manjun, my adoptive father is not out of danger yet, but you are thinking about your life-long affairs. I am really ashamed of you!"
"Shame?" Shen Manjun shot back. "You are the one who should be ashamed! My father has kicked you out of the house a long time ago, but you went home with a face. Are you worried that you won't get a share of the pie? Not to mention that Zhao Qingyun and Li Mubai are still controlling the Zhao family. Even if Even if they are not here, I will never let you take away every brick and tile of the Zhao family!"
"Now, please get out of Zhao's house. I don't welcome you!"
Xiao Zheng listened to Shen Manjun's sonorous and powerful words and was immediately impressed by the wit of this charming woman.
What is the purpose of bringing up Li Mubai and Zhao Qingyun during this sensitive period? Isn't it clear that she wants to draw Zhao Qingyun and Li Mubai into her camp? Moreover, they cannot yet refuse, nor do they dare to refuse.
Rejection means that he is as ambitious as Chen Chong and covets the Zhao family's property.
So they just have to accept it. So - Li Mubai, who had been dormant for a long time, finally stood up, stared at Chen Chong with an indignant look and said, "Brother, you'd better go back. Qingyun and I will be watching at home, so there won't be any trouble."
Seeing him quickly taking sides, Chen Chong cursed Shen Manjun in his heart for being treacherous and cunning, but with a righteous look on his face, he said in a deep voice: "I'm just here to avenge my godfather. As for what you think, it has nothing to do with me. I also believe that rumors stop with the wise.”
"Of course I believe you." Li Mubai shook his head lightly and said. "But just like the eldest lady said, the old man's revenge will be avenged by the Zhao family -"
He didn't finish his words, but in the second half of the sentence, everyone knew: You are not from the Zhao family!
What Chen Chong was most sensitive to was none other than being kicked out of the house by Mr. Zhao. This was regarded as a great shame and humiliation by him, and he could not accept it. At this moment, Li Mubai's words clearly stung his weakness, immediately making his blood boil and making him furious.
I saw him striding towards Li Mubai, and said angrily: "Li Mubai, who do you think you are in the Zhao family? Someone who hides behind his back and plays dirty tricks? Can you compete with Ye Shiguan with your little conspiracy?"
"Zhao Qingyun! If it were back then, I would definitely let you seek revenge on Ye Shiguan. But now -" Chen Chong said in a deep voice. "You are just a pug following the old man. You don't even have the guts to go out alone. Are you capable of avenging the old man!?"
"Shen Manjun!" Chen Chong looked around and finally laid his eyes on Shen Manjun's face, saying coldly. "Are you stupid because of reading, or are you just a stupid person?"
Shen Manjun's face suddenly changed, and he was about to get angry when he heard Chen Chong shout: "Something happened to the old man. Do you think you can live in peace by hiding at home and being a coward? You underestimate Ye Shiguan!"
"He can assassinate the old man today! He can kill him tomorrow and kill the whole Zhao family!" Chen Chong said righteously. "Now, we have no choice at all! Either he dies or we die!"
After saying that, Chen Chong looked around with a look of shared hatred on his face: "Which of you wants to sit back and wait for death and be captured without mercy? Give the country that you have worked so hard to win all your life to Ye Shiguan? Who wants to live in fear all day long, in case Ye Shiguan comes to kill you?"
Everything Chen Chong said was reasonable, but he also caught people's weak points. The long speech was not annoying at all. On the contrary, it was encouraging and made people worry about their future.
Li Mubai's face changed slightly when he heard Chen Chong's ideas, and he fell into subtle contemplation. He stood behind Shen Manjun and stopped speaking. Seeing that Chen Chong had the upper hand again, Shen Manjun suddenly ran out of ideas and couldn't help but cast a look for help at Xiao Zheng, who looked a little distracted. I hope he can fight back head on at this moment and turn the tide.
Xiao Zheng, who was distracted, noticed Shen Manjun's burning eyes and hurriedly put back his messy thoughts. He lit a cigarette and looked at Chen Chong casually and said, "I just said, you don't understand Ye Shiguan and you can't fight him. Talk such nonsense. What's the use? The whole world knows that he wants to destroy the Zhao family. But the Zhao family is still strong until now. Do you want to say that the Zhao family relies on you for what it is today? "
Chen Chong sneered and said: "It depends on all of us in the Zhao family." He paused and looked sideways at Xiao Zhengdao. "But it's definitely not you, an outsider!"
"Interesting." Xiao Zheng smiled and looked around, his eyes burning brightly. "I want to ask you, since Ye Shiguan's debut, has Chen Chong ever taken advantage of him once?"
After a pause, Xiao Zheng waved his hand and said, "No need to ask. As far as I know, Ye Shiguan has never lost. Even in front of Fourth Master Zhao, he has never lost once."
After saying that, his eyes fell on Chen Chong's face again, and he smiled: "But I beat him."
"On the contrary, he never beat me once."
