82: Chapter 82 A Trip to the Capital
"Brilliant, truly brilliant!"
Chu Yuan had been observing the real-time video, watching clearly as Shen Wen killed Shen Congwu and the Shen Family fell into chaos.
Seeing Shen Wen kill Shen Congwu with his own eyes, he didn't even know what to say.
Although all of this had been orchestrated by him from behind the scenes.
Chu Yuan had even been convinced that his plan would succeed.
However, the day it was truly accomplished, he was still filled with mixed emotions.
Isn't there a saying: "Sacrifice your parents to the heavens, and your power will be boundless."
Now that Shen Wen has personally sacrificed Shen Congwu to the heavens, could he be gaining boundless power?
If anyone dares to say that a live-in son-in-law is useless, Chu Yuan will definitely be the first to teach them a lesson.
Look at how useful Shen Wen is; when he killed his father, Shen Congwu, he didn't even blink, showing not a shred of mercy.
"Young Master Chu, what has you so excited?"
Zhou Xiaodie, who had just finished washing up and walked out of the bathroom, looked at Chu Yuan sitting there grinning from ear to ear, feeling a bit confused.
"It is indeed a joyous occasion, and this happy event even concerns you."
"Oh? I wonder what this happy event is."
"Shen Wen personally slaughtered Shen Congwu, avenging your Zhou Family."
"W-what?" Upon hearing the news, Zhou Xiaodie covered her mouth, her face full of shock.
"Young Master Chu, are you serious? Did Shen Wen kill Shen Congwu?"
"I-is this true?"
Zhou Xiaodie couldn't believe it; the idea that a good-for-nothing like Shen Wen could personally kill Shen Congwu was simply shocking.
"Naturally, it is not fake. Here is the video, go take a look."
Although Chu Yuan had been watching the live stream, it had a storage function, allowing him to pull it out and enjoy it whenever he was bored.
The more Zhou Xiaodie watched, the more excited she became. Seeing Shen Wen personally slaughter Shen Congwu and then acknowledge a thief as his father by taking Jiesha as his godfather, Zhou Xiaodie wept with joy, so happy she was about to jump up.
Having Jiesha kick and injure Shen Wen was also part of Chu Yuan's plan.
It was just to make Shen Wen behave and properly act as the head of the Shen Family.
Of course, given that Shen Wen is a good-for-nothing, the elders and young people of the Shen Family would certainly not agree to him becoming the head of the Shen Family.
This is where Jiesha should demonstrate his usefulness.
Eliminating those obstacles for Shen Wen would allow him to easily become the head of the family.
Come to think of it, as the ultimate villain, he was now actually plotting to make Shen Wen, this good-for-nothing Protagonist, the head of the family.
He really wasn't a qualified villain.
Just then, a phone rang; it was Jiesha calling to report the situation.
"Young Master, the plan is ready. Should we deal with that kid Shen Wen next and take complete control of the Shen Family?"
"No need. If you disappear for a while, others in the Shen Family will definitely try to seize the position of head of the family."
"Let the Shen Family members cause a commotion for a while. When Shen Wen and his mother are unable to cope, you will appear as a savior. This way, you can win the beauty, eliminate them, and secure the Shen Family for me."
That fat sheep, Shen Wen, no longer had much use.
His only role now was to help him secretly control the Shen Family.
Once he had no more value, he would send him to the underworld to apologize to his unlucky father, Shen Congwu.
"Now that you know Shen Congwu is dead and your great revenge has been avenged, how will you thank me?"
Chu Yuan smiled as he lifted Zhou Xiaodie's chin.
Zhou Xiaodie was not drop-dead gorgeous, but given her special status, Chu Yuan didn't mind being a 'Cao Zei' for once.
"That's great! Shen Congwu is finally dead. My Zhou Family's great revenge has been avenged."
Zhou Xiaodie muttered a few words, her face full of joy.
Having that good-for-nothing Shen Wen personally slaughter Shen Congwu was even more exciting to Zhou Xiaodie than a simple assassination of Shen Congwu.
"Young Master Chu, thank you for avenging my family."
"No need for thanks. Compared to such ethereal things, I prefer practical returns."
A kind citizen would certainly call the police.
Early the next morning, Zuo Shishi came to report for duty, and Zhang Yang continued on his food delivery journey.
After all, if he wanted to become powerful, he, Zhang Yang, could not do without the God-level Food Delivery System.
Not to mention anything else, just his aids issue—it was incurable, and he had to seek help from the system.
As for Zhang Yang, Chu Yuan had no worries.
Everything had been arranged, and with real-time monitoring, it was foolproof.
The most important thing now was to seize the Shen Family and, by the way, send off this simp, Shen Wen.
Everything was just as Chu Yuan had expected. With Shen Congwu, the head of the Shen Family, killed unexpectedly, the Shen Family members all set their sights on the position of head of the family.
Among them, the most powerful were Shen Wen's second uncle, Second Uncle Shen Congwen, along with his cousin uncle Shen Lang and cousin Shen Yi.
Although Shen Wen was Shen Congwu's son, he had no foundation in the Shen Family.
Furthermore, it had previously been rumored that for the daughter of a small family in Magic City, Shen Wen had actually run to that small family and become a live-in son-in-law. He had even been cuckolded.
Everyone looked down on such a good-for-nothing.
Moreover, in order to deal with the Tianlong Group, Shen Congwu had previously mobilized a large amount of the Shen Family's resources.
Not only was it in vain, but it also damaged the interests of the Shen Family members, which had already made them unhappy.
While Shen Congwu was alive, he could still suppress them.
Now that he was dead, the members of the Shen Family were restless.
The first to make a move was Shen Wen's second uncle, Second Uncle Shen Congwen.
Using the excuse that Shen Wen had no talent, no virtue, and no achievements, and that he brought shame to the Shen Family, he not only refused to let Shen Wen succeed as head of the Shen Family but also wanted to strip him of his status as Young Master of the Shen Family, clearly intending to kick him out.
The Shen Family members pressed on step by step, making Qi Xinyue and her son Shen Wen as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
All their hope now rested on Jiesha.
Unfortunately, he was nowhere to be found at this critical moment.
Without Jiesha's help, Qi Xinyue and Shen Wen, this widowed mother and son, were no match for that group of Shen Family members and were being pushed into a corner.
Understanding the situation at the Shen Family, Chu Yuan decided to take Zhou Xiaodie on a trip to the capital.
