After hearing this, the Chu family's Patriarch and Chu Lan looked extremely solemn and asked, "What's going on?"
Chen Lei said: "Someone tampered with my alchemy furnace, so it exploded in the middle of the process."
"hateful!"
After hearing this, the head of the Chu family was furious and looked at the head of the Xiang family and Xiang Tai and others. The head of the Chu family was sure that the Xiang family was definitely behind this, otherwise, with the cautious character of the head of the Xiang family, he would never agree to such a big bet between Xiang Tai and Chu Lan.
However, the head of the Chu family currently has no evidence at all. Although he knows that the Xiang family is behind this, he has no way to deal with it for the time being.
"Chen Lei, my Chu family will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly." said the head of the Chu family.
Chen Lei nodded. He only needed to tell the head of the Chu family about this matter. As for what the head of the Chu family would do, that was not Chen Lei's business.
Afterwards, Chen Lei, Chu Lan and others returned to the Chu family to rest.
Chen Lei still needed to heal his injuries and prepare for tomorrow's competition, so as soon as he returned to the Chu family, he immediately began to rest.
While Chen Lei went to rest, the head of the Chu family had no chance to rest at all. Instead, he arranged people to investigate the problem with the alchemy furnace that Chen Lei mentioned today.
The first person he wanted to find was the elder who was responsible for the final inspection of the alchemy furnace. This elder was called Chu Yunping, and he was also an elder in the Chu family and was highly respected.
However, after the head of the Chu family arranged for people to look for Chu Yunping, not long after, news came back that Elder Chu Yunping had disappeared.
"What, missing?" The head of the Chu family looked grim after hearing the news.
It is obvious that Chu Yunping has a big problem, otherwise why would he disappear at this critical juncture.
Chu Yunping is most likely an insider arranged by the Xiang family, or Chu Yunping has been bribed by the Xiang family. But no matter which result it is, it is not good news for the Chu family.
"Search immediately. Even if you have to dig three feet deep, you must find Chu Yunping." The head of the Chu family gave the order, and the entire Chu family's intelligence agency immediately started working at high speed and began searching for Chu Yunping's whereabouts.
However, the head of the Chu family also knew that even if he made his greatest efforts, the results would probably not be optimistic.
"Father, don't be angry yet. The alchemy competition hasn't ended yet. For the next two games, we can't let the other side do anything." At this time, Chu Lan said to his father.
"That's right. We must not make any mistakes in the next two games."
The head of the Chu family also calmed down at this time.
The next day, the Chu family members once again rushed to the alchemy competition venue and took their seats according to their seats.
"Master Xiang, you are really good at this. What happened yesterday was your doing, right?" The master of the Chu family said in a deep voice after seeing the master of the Xiang family who also arrived on time.
The head of the Xiang family looked completely clueless and said, "I don't know what the head of the Chu family is referring to. You have confused me."
Seeing that Patriarch Xiang was pretending to be so, Patriarch Chu said, "Patriarch Xiang, you don't have to pretend to be ignorant. I advise you that crooked ways will not last long, and despicable means will never be accepted by the public."
