29: Ah? The seniority has increased?

Everyone watched Chen Zaian depart with bewildered expressions.

Then they turned their heads to look at Chu Yunxuan.

Admiration!

There was nothing else, only admiration!

"That's enough!"

Qin Zhenhai shouted.

Everyone dispersed.

Only Chu Yunxuan, Qin Zhenhai, Jiang Ying, and Xiao Qiyue remained in the courtyard.

The three of them stared at Chu Yunxuan in unison.

"What's going on between you and Wang Min?"

The three of them asked in unison.

Chu Yunxuan:???

"Who is Wang Min?" Chu Yunxuan asked, puzzled.

"Chen Zaian's daughter-in-law, the daughter of a big shot from the provincial Bounty Hunter Guild!"

Chu Yunxuan: "..."

"Damn it! I don't even know her, what are you talking about?"

Jiang Ying: "No? Then why would he do this? Is there any other explanation?"

Xiao Qiyue: "He must be afraid you'll turn his family upside down, causing them to break apart. Unless he secretly kills you, he knows threats are useless, and his daughter-in-law would desperately protect you."

Qin Zhenhai: "I think besides his daughter-in-law Wang Min, there might be one more person involved."

Jiang Ying and Xiao Qiyue nodded repeatedly: "Great minds think alike."

Chu Yunxuan's mouth twitched.

"I'm not talking to you guys anymore, I'm going to Cultivate my sword."

...

Outside.

The crowd also spread this shocking news throughout Tianhua University.

Meanwhile, Chen Zaian caught up with his grandson.

"Grandpa! Why! Tell me why! I'm the one who was bullied! Why should Chu Yunxuan get away with it?!"

Chen Haobin was going crazy.

"Bastard! I saved your life, and you're still asking me why? I'm your grandpa, how could I not want what's best for you?"

Chen Haobin looked bewildered: "Huh? Saved my life?"

"You don't need to know anything more. From now on, don't provoke this Chu Yunxuan."

Chen Zaian warned.

Chen Haobin gritted his teeth: "I'm going to kill him!"

"Don't I want to?" Chen Zaian also gritted his teeth.

Then Chen Zaian said, "Someone asked me to kill him a long time ago. I accepted the job. If there had been a good opportunity, I would have acted already, and we wouldn't be in this situation now."

"Is someone threatening you, Grandpa?" Chen Haobin asked.

Chen Zaian nodded: "Yes, a master! So, from now on, on the surface, you behave yourself. Some things, leave them to me."

"Grandpa, you must kill him!"

Chen Zaian's eyes narrowed: "I will."

...

This matter spread like wildfire at Tianhua University.

In a certain Intermediate class, people were sitting and Cultivating.

Someone suddenly spoke: "Have you heard? Chen Zaian, the president of the Bounty Hunter Guild, personally delivered the Yan Yang Sword to Chu Yunxuan and even knelt down, begging him to accept it!"

"Is that true or false?" Everyone disbelieved.

"It's just hearsay, sounds fake," Wang Xiaozhu said.

That person said: "Zhang Xiaozhu, don't disbelieve me. I saw it with my own eyes. There were hundreds of people on the scene at the time. Why would I lie to you?"

Everyone's mouths fell open.

"Why would that happen?"

"I guess, President Chen's daughter-in-law or granddaughter, or someone like that, must have fallen for Chu Yunxuan. He's afraid Chu Yunxuan will turn his family upside down. He's old, and his family is so important, so he can only beg Chu Yunxuan for mercy."

Everyone nodded: "It feels like that's the only way to explain it."

"I'm just telling you, you absolutely must not tell anyone else."

Zhang Xiaozhu: "Don't worry, don't worry."

...

Cafeteria.

Everyone was eating.

Zhang Xiaozhu, who had just finished getting his food, sat down next to a few people.

"Guys, have you heard about Chu Yunxuan and President Chen's matter?"

Zhang Xiaozhu asked.

"We've heard! President Chen gave him the Yan Yang Sword, it's so outrageous!"

"By the way, why was that?"

"I heard it's related to his daughter-in-law. After all, it's Chu Yunxuan, you know how it is."

Zhang Xiaozhu smiled mysteriously, shaking his head: "Not quite!"

"Zhang Xiaozhu, do you know some inside information?" A few people quickly asked.

Zhang Xiaozhu nodded: "Of course."

The few people immediately became interested.

"Then why did that happen?"

Zhang Xiaozhu then whispered: "I'll tell you. The reason President Chen gave Chu Yunxuan the Yan Yang Sword is because Chu Yunxuan has something on him."

"Really?"

Zhang Xiaozhu laughed: "Think about it, with President Chen's status and strength, what if his daughter-in-law fell for Chu Yunxuan? He has a million ways to solve this. But what did he do? Knelt down, gave him the Yan Yang Sword. Does that make sense?"

The few people exchanged glances.

"That makes sense. It must be something on him, and it must be a huge one to make him do that, something that could destroy him."

"Zhang Xiaozhu, what is it?"

"Yeah, yeah, tell us."

Zhang Xiaozhu: "Then you have to promise me, absolutely don't tell anyone."

"Don't worry, don't worry."

"Especially you, Liu Tian, your mouth isn't very tight."

Liu Tian said: "It concerns President Chen, I wouldn't dare to speak carelessly."

Zhang Xiaozhu nodded, then whispered: "Do you know the identity of President Chen's daughter-in-law, that is, Chen Haobin's mother?"

"She seems to be... the daughter of a big shot from our provincial Bounty Hunter Guild, right? I remember President Chen's son married into her family, so Chen Haobin's status is very impressive."

"That's right! Then how much do you think such a person could embezzle each year?"

Hiss—

Everyone gasped.

Liu Tian's eyes lit up: "I get it. Chu Yunxuan actually has something on President Chen's daughter-in-law. At the same time, President Chen must not be clean either. Once that information is released, President Chen's family is finished."

"Got it!"

...

Afternoon training.

Liu Tian went to the restroom with three other people.

One of them was You Qianren.

"Guys, have you heard about Chu Yunxuan's matter today?" Liu Tian asked while peeing.

You Qianren said: "I've heard! It's amazing!"

Liu Tian laughed: "It's not that simple."

"Oh? Is there inside information? I just knew Brother Xuan wasn't simple." You Qianren's eyes lit up.

"The inside information is too big. I'll only tell you guys, but you absolutely must not tell anyone else."

Liu Tian said.

"Don't worry, don't worry, tell us!"

Liu Tian thought for a moment, then said: "Forget it! I can't say the specifics. I can only say that President Chen and his daughter-in-law, Chen Haobin's mother, are not clean! That's it, I'm going to class."

You Qianren and the others exchanged glances.

...

That night.

In the dormitory.

"Guys, have you heard about Chu Yunxuan's matter today?"

"Who hasn't heard? I can only say that Chu Yunxuan might be in trouble. He has something on President Chen, and it's a big one."

"I don't know what it is exactly, I really want to know."

"I heard President Chen isn't clean."

"Is that so? Is there such a thing?"

You Qianren smiled.

"You Qianren, what are you laughing at?"

They looked at You Qianren.

"I'm laughing at how little you know."

Their eyes lit up.

"What do you know? Tell us! Hurry, hurry!"

You Qianren then said mysteriously: "Guys, how do you understand 'not clean'?"

"Greedy."

You Qianren chuckled: "Young, so young."

"Huh? Is there more to it?"

You Qianren: "I heard solid inside information. It's truly not clean. Both President Chen and Wang Min are not clean!"

"That's what I said too, what's wrong with that?"

You Qianren: "Completely wrong, you've all misunderstood! It's that President Chen and Wang Min are not clean with each other."

"That's not wrong either."

You Qianren: "They are not clean with each other, understand?"

A few people's eyes widened: "Are you saying they were secretly... Hiss—Holy crap! That's a huge leverage!"

You Qianren: "Even more explosive news is coming. Chen Haobin is not the son of his father, Chen Sheng. To be precise, Chen Sheng should call Chen Haobin 'brother'!"

Everyone:???

"Awesome!"

...

Bounty Hunter Guild.

Night.

Office.

Chen Zaian was next to Chen Haobin, and a person sat in front of them.

"Li Hu, I personally promoted you. I trust you immensely!"

"President Chen, just say the word, and I'll get it done perfectly for you!"

Chen Zaian: "Eliminate someone!"

He pushed Chu Yunxuan's photo in front of Li Hu.

Li Hu took a look.

Then he burned the photo.

"Besides President Chen, Haobin, and me, absolutely no fourth person will know."

Chen Zaian nodded with satisfaction.

Bang—

Just then, the office door was kicked open!

A middle-aged man ran in furiously.

"Son? What are you doing?"

Chen Zaian frowned, looking at his son, Chen Sheng.

"Dad?" Chen Haobin looked at Chen Sheng, puzzled.

"Why! Why are you doing this to me!"

Chen Sheng looked at Chen Zaian furiously.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Zaian looked bewildered.

"Everyone outside is saying that Haobin and I are brothers, not father and son! Why would you and Wang Min do this to me! Ahhh! What did I do wrong?!"

Chen Zaian:???

Chen Haobin:???

Huh?

My seniority increased?
