103: Chapter 103 Are they really not scammers?

Looking at Director Gu Sanding, whose expression was somewhat uneasy, Chen Mo realized that the old man seemed to have something difficult to say.

"Director, just tell me directly if there is anything."

"You raised me since I was a child; is there really anything we can't talk about between us?"

"Go ahead, did you find a partner, old man?"

"It's good to find a partner at your age to keep you company, and it would be another person to help take care of the younger brothers and sisters…"

Seeing that Director Gu Sanding didn't speak and continued to look at him with an expression of hesitation, Chen Mo knew there was trouble.

"What's wrong?"

"Hmm…"

Director Gu Sanding gritted his teeth and finally told Chen Mo the truth.

"Actually, after you showed your face in the National Joint Examination, some people came to claim you as their relative."

"They claimed to be your parents, along with all sorts of aunts and uncles—a whole crowd of people showed up."

"I heard from Director Zhou that this family is quite powerful and influential; they are considered one of the martial arts families."

After hearing this, Chen Mo scoffed, which eventually turned into a loud laugh.

"Stop joking with me, old man. I don't have parents; I only have you and the younger brothers and sisters."

"Those guys are just scammers; how could you get so nervous about them?"

"Don't tell me you actually believed them. There are so many scammers out there now; don't trust them…"

Chen Mo stopped speaking as he spoke. Seeing the conflicted expression on Director Gu Sanding's face, he realized that this might actually be true.

Searching for relatives, huh…

What does that have to do with him?

His only family is Director Gu Sanding and the younger brothers and sisters at the Orphanage. The bond between him and the original body's parents was Slicing at the very moment they abandoned the original body.

How disgusting.

Chen Mo just felt physically uncomfortable. They only found him after he became famous—isn't their intention obvious?

He didn't even feel any anger, only intense disgust.

"Alright, don't worry."

Chen Mo gently patted Director Gu Sanding's back to help him steady his breathing.

"You are the only family I have."

Lin Ye and the others, who had been playing with the children, also stopped.

As martial artists, their five senses were exceptionally keen, not to mention that Chen Mo hadn't tried to hide these words from them at all.

"But… their family is powerful and influential; even Director Zhou can only maneuver around them."

"Even the mayor of our Luo City has to bow his head in front of them."

Director Gu Sanding wasn't afraid that Chen Mo would abandon them after reuniting with his relatives, but he was worried that with Chen Mo's stubborn personality, he wouldn't have an easy future if he offended them.

"Are they trying to throw their weight around?"

Chen Mo couldn't help but laugh; he took out his phone and dialed a number.

The call was answered almost instantly, and Governor Sun Jingan's slightly annoyed voice came from the other end.

"You brat, what exactly happened during the National Joint Examination? How did you end up clashing with a Venerable?"

"Damn it, did you run into trouble?"

"Otherwise, why would a little thing like you call me?"

Governor Sun Jingan rambled on for a while, and only after he stopped speaking did Chen Mo slowly open his mouth.

"Governor Sun, do me a favor."

"Speak."

"My grandfather encountered some scammers who claim to be my parents and relatives."

"And they have quite a background; they scared my grandfather."

Chen Mo's tone was gloomy. If it weren't for his humanity holding him back, Chen Mo would have already rushed back to kill them.

After going through the National Joint Examination, Chen Mo's inherent nature of slaughter, violence, and cruelty had been completely ignited.

The fact that he could still sit here and make a phone call was the result of extreme self-restraint.

"…"

Governor Sun Jingan didn't speak, he just narrowed his eyes.

They showed up right after the National Joint Examination ended; this family is truly shameless!

"Alright, leave this matter to me. Someone will give you the results in a while."

After speaking, Governor Sun Jingan exchanged a few pleasantries with Chen Mo and then hung up the phone.

"Chen Mo, do you need me to…"

Wen Wan, who was sitting behind Chen Mo, tugged at the corner of Chen Mo's clothes; she also understood what was going on.

"No need, let's see if even Governor Sun Jingan can't solve it first."

Chen Mo shook his head. He wouldn't easily let his friends take action, especially in family matters like this.

"Let's go, let's go meet them."

…

At Chenguang Orphanage, several teachers frowned as they looked at the people in the living room.

"They are really shameless; how do they have the nerve to come back and claim kinship?"

"If it weren't for the fact that Chen Mo has achieved something now, this bunch of bad seeds probably wouldn't even know they had such a child."

"If you couldn't afford to raise him back then, you shouldn't have given birth to him. Like animals, giving birth wherever they go…"

The teachers' conversation reached the ears of the people in the living room.

Their expressions were extremely ugly, and the oldest man even glared at the woman with dyed blonde hair sitting opposite him.

As the sound of braking rang out, the few people, who had previously looked ugly, instantly adjusted their states.

Especially the blonde woman; her face, which had been somewhat dispirited, immediately became sorrowful and miserable.

At the entrance, Zhou Sanlang grabbed Chen Mo's hand.

"Absolutely, absolutely do not kill anyone."

"It is a serious crime for a martial artist to kill; do not let them affect your future."

"If you kill someone, it will be very troublesome for us to help you absolve the crime, and the Orphanage will also be affected."

Chen Mo looked at the winking Zhou Sanlang, and with his high intelligence of eight points, he immediately understood the implication.

Indeed, it is a serious crime for a martial artist to kill, but if a martial artist injures another martial artist, it can be easily settled through certain means.

"I understand, I understand."

Chen Mo nodded repeatedly and also winked at Zhou Sanlang.

"Chen Mo, shall we go and keep the younger brothers and sisters company first?"

Although Lin Ye was a bit sleazy, he knew when to be serious.

"Oh, you know to be cautious now?"

"Stop talking nonsense with me; come if you want to!"

Chen Mo patted Lin Ye on the shoulder, and Lin Ye immediately understood, his smile becoming strange.

"Then you go first, we will appear at the right time."

I don't know how these two people's brainwaves matched, but they reached a tacit understanding just like that.

"Let's go, Director, let's go meet those animals."

Chen Mo mercilessly referred to those Chen family members as animals, and the meaning was self-evident.

"Hmm, it's best not to take action later."

Director Gu Sanding was already prepared for Chen Mo to take action and injure someone; did he not know the child he raised?

Thump… Thump… Thump…

Heavy footsteps rang out in the corridor, and the few Chen family members in the living room were all nervous.

"Dad, why do I feel like something is wrong?"

The blonde woman could no longer hold it together, and her expression became somewhat nervous.

"This sound isn't right, is it? It sounds like construction machinery moving?"

"Shut up, that child's talent is just like that. If you dare to speak nonsense later, I will expel you from the family!"

The old man's expression toward the woman was full of frustration; he didn't know what his foolish youngest daughter had been thinking back then to throw such a genius on the street.

He had completely forgotten how he had looked at the infant Chen Mo with such disgust, and how he had almost beaten Chen Mo to death.

Soon, the living room door was pushed open, and the Chen family members immediately felt the room become darker.

The few people looked up at the same time and saw a breathing wall appear in front of them.

"You… are the Chen family?"

Chen Mo frowned tightly, his tone filled with nothing but disgust, detachment, and coldness.
