48: Old man Chen has read the letter and decided what to do next.

“As long as you can let me move in today, that will be the best thanks,” Chen Beixuan said with a fatherly smile.

Seeing the male university student was like seeing his past self.

He helped him out because he could.

Xiao Yu nodded emphatically.

“Don’t worry, grandpa, I’ll make sure you move into the villa today.”

Chen Beixuan nodded absentmindedly and followed him to pay.

Now he just wanted to get into the game quickly, kill bosses, and be a superman.

The real estate company was very efficient, and they started sending cars for the move by noon.

A truck drove into Harmony Garden.

With the arrival of the moving company, the old neighborhood gradually became lively.

“Oh, Old Chen, where are you moving to?” Old Ding greeted Chen Beixuan when he returned from his walk.

Chen Beixuan’s eyes lit up, and he laughed heartily.

“Oh, isn’t this Old Ding? How did you know I bought a house?”

“I asked you where you’re moving to, who asked if you bought a house or not?” Old Ding couldn’t help but roll his eyes, saying irritably.

“What? How did you know I bought a villa? Oh, it wasn’t expensive, just a few million.”

Old Ding’s face darkened. “Are you deaf? Who the hell asked you that!”

“Right, right, they’re all fully furnished, I can move in tonight, Old Ding, you don’t need to be envious…”

“Damn it, I shouldn’t have asked!” Old Ding’s face was ashen, and he turned to leave.

“Hey, Old Ding, why are you leaving? Chat a little longer…” Chen Beixuan said with a grin.

“…Chat with your grandpa!”

“Tsk, he got angry just from chatting…” He pouted.

…

Actually, there weren’t many things that needed to be moved; all the old items were thrown away.

Most were small items with memories, and miscellaneous things.

It took less than two hours to load the truck.

After handing over the house to Old Wang next door and a simple farewell, Chen Beixuan and Xiao Lu got into the car.

Of course, he was carried into the car by the moving company’s staff.

At his request, the old wheelchair was directly discarded.

The driver took them to a wheelchair store, where they bought an electric wheelchair for several thousand yuan.

Then he bought new clothes for Xiao Lu, making her giggle happily.

It wasn’t until evening that the grandfather and granddaughter finally moved into the villa.

“Grandpa, how do you have so much money?” In the sunset, the grandfather and granddaughter sat on the swing chair in the yard, and Xiao Lu asked the question in her heart.

Chen Beixuan smiled upon hearing this, stroking her small head and saying, “Because Grandpa is an invisible rich man. I like to recall past hardships and appreciate the present. Now that I don’t want to suffer, I won’t.”

“…So, Grandpa picking up cardboard and bottles before was also intentional?” Xiao Lu seemed to understand but not quite, blinking her small eyes.

Chen Beixuan felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this, took a deep breath, and then smiled, “That’s right. Was Grandpa’s acting good?”

“Ah, Grandpa, you actually lied to me! Hmph, I’m going to tickle you!”

“Hahaha, stop tickling, Grandpa was wrong, I won’t lie to you again!” The grandfather and granddaughter laughed heartily, creating a warm scene.

“It’s getting dark, time to go inside.” After a while of playing, Chen Beixuan looked at the sky, then sat in his wheelchair and took Xiao Lu inside.

Soon after they entered, a luxury car slowly drove up and stopped at the villa next door.

A fat man got out of the car and smiled when he saw his wife approaching.

“Husband, are you tired? I personally cooked your favorite dishes for you today.” A dignified woman looked at him with eyes full of love.

“It’s cold outside, you don’t have to come out to greet me next time.” Zhang Mingyuan tucked his wife’s hair behind her ear, his face full of affection. “By the way, where’s our son?”

“Our son is studying inside. His tutor’s mock exam today was another 100 points.”

“Hahaha, good, he’s truly my son, a tiger father has no dog son!” The woman pursed her lips upon hearing this, somewhat reluctantly saying, “But… our son studies all day and doesn’t go out to play with other children. I’m worried he’ll have psychological problems if this continues…”

Zhang Mingyuan put away his smile and nodded seriously. “I know. I’ve already found a study companion for our son. I expect to hear something in half a month.”

“Really? That’s great. With someone his age to accompany him, I’ll be much more at ease.” The woman’s eyes lit up, and she said happily.

“Of course. How could I not care about my son? Let’s go, inside!” Zhang Mingyuan took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and put his arm around his wife as they went inside…

…

The villa had three floors in total. Chen Beixuan lived on the lowest floor, which was more convenient.

After dinner, Chen Beixuan returned to his room, smoking and lost in thought.

Now that the housing problem was solved and his living conditions improved, he had already asked Xiao Yu to help him hire a housekeeper aunt to cook and clean.

This would ensure the grandfather and granddaughter’s three meals a day.

With these things settled, the only remaining issue was the evidence of Chen Fan abandoning his daughter.

He thought about this carefully.

There were two choices before him.

The first was to hire a private detective or bribe people around Chen Fan to collect evidence.

The second method would be a bit dangerous.

That was to reveal the news of his wealth to Chen Fan.

In this way, given that scoundrel’s personality, he would most likely withdraw the lawsuit directly and come to repent and apologize in order to inherit his inheritance.

However, doing so might expose his identity in the game and allow Chen Fan to exploit and threaten him.

If possible, he didn’t want to use the second method.

After much deliberation, Chen Beixuan decided to try the first method first.

At the same time, he would kill more BOSSes in the game to feed back into reality, preparing for the worst-case scenario.

By then, relying on the fed-back attributes, he should be sufficient to handle some personal crises.

While pondering, it was still early.

He simply opened his phone and browsed the official forums of Myriad Realms.

In just two days since the server opened, there were already billions of posts on the forum.

Among them, besides strategy posts and casual posts, the most popular discussions were about Old Man Chen, the number one on the leaderboard.

[Shock! Reaching Level 10 and Topping the Charts in One Day! What’s the Deal with Old Man Chen…]

[Hot! Level 10 Blasting a Level 20 Dungeon, Is It a Cheat or a Stat Monster? Official Response…]

[Explosion! Tens of Thousands of People Jointly Report Old Man Chen for Cheating, Official Response…]

[Balanced! The Appearance of Old Man Chen May Lead to a Significant Decline in the Number of Mage Professions…]

Chen Beixuan’s temple twitched, and he clicked on the post reporting cheating to browse it.

After reading it, his brows gradually relaxed.

The general meaning was that after an official investigation, there was no cheating issue.

All were normal data changes within the game, with no third-party plugins present.

The comments below were mostly cursing the officials and him, so there was no need to read them.

“Typical sour grapes…” He scrolled down a few more, and suddenly a post caught his attention.

[Shock! Mont Town NPC Tragically Dies on the Road, Is It the Decline of Morality or…]

He clicked on it, and the scene pictures immediately appeared.

After identifying them, his brows gradually furrowed.

Because the person who died in the picture was none other than the mayor of Mont Town, Pochi!

The game world would not stop just because players logged out.

So this incident must have happened when he was offline during the day.

And it just so happened that those players who chose to log in during the day encountered it.

Chen Beixuan fell into contemplation as he looked at the pictures, having some suspicions in his mind.

However, he would have to wait until he entered the game to verify what he was thinking.

He glanced at the time; it was almost time to go online.

He put on his helmet, lay down, closed his eyes, and entered the game…
