80: Chen Fan brainstorms and prepares for action!

General Manager Zhang was startled when he saw the message.

Had his secret message been exposed?

Impossible.

No one knew about this except him.

He had indeed been excited for a while after receiving the chairman's directive last time.

But afterwards, he felt something was off.

The father and son were fighting, but he was stepping in as the bad guy.

When the father and son reconciled in the end, what about him?

Just a small branch manager.

He probably wouldn't even bat an eye if he was eliminated.

After understanding the stakes, he broke out in a cold sweat.

He immediately decided to suppress the group's heir openly, but secretly help him whenever possible.

He didn't want to become a casualty of the father-son conflict.

So, when Zhao Qingcheng came yesterday to ask if Old Man Chen and Lu Ziming knew each other, he didn't reply immediately.

Instead, he waited until the second allocation of funds arrived today before sending the message back.

Even if the higher-ups told him to cancel the suppression because of Old Man Chen, he wouldn't lose out.

He didn't expect it to now cause Zhao Qingcheng's displeasure and questioning.

"My life is like walking on thin ice..."

General Manager Zhang clicked on the message bar and replied with an explanation.

Jueji 丿 Jian Shen: "I'm sorry, General Manager Zhao, it's my incompetence. Why don't you scold me a bit to vent your anger."

At this time, any understanding would only deepen the conflict; directly admitting the mistake was the correct approach.

As expected!

Zhao Qingcheng, as if he had found an outlet for his emotions, scolded him relentlessly.

The dense messages, like artillery fire, gradually stopped after ten minutes of bombardment.

Everything returned to tranquility...

......

Hundreds of meters away from General Manager Zhang.

Chen Fan and Liu Ruyun were in a party with guild members, grinding monsters together.

But their faces were filled with unhappiness.

Kun Ge and Skinny had parted ways with them.

Everyone said it was easy to have bad luck following Chen Fan.

Coincidentally, as soon as Kun Ge and Skinny joined other teams, they continuously dropped several pieces of equipment.

In just one day, they were thriving.

Every time they saw Chen Fan and Liu Ruyun, they would express their gratitude.

Thanking the couple for letting him and Skinny go.

Only then could they have such continuous good luck.

This was simply killing with words.

Aside from making Liu Ruyun quite angry, Chen Fan was uncharacteristically quiet.

"What are you spacing out for? You've been out of sorts all night!"

The squad leader, who was leading the team, looked at Chen Fan with some disdain.

Everyone else was working hard to grind monsters and level up, but this guy was spacing out and distracted.

Wasn't this delaying their leveling up?

"You guys go ahead and grind, I have something to do. Liu Ruyun, come over."

Chen Fan snapped out of it, called the bewildered Liu Ruyun, and left the party.

The squad leader was eager for them to leave the party, saving them from wasting his team's time.

"Never mind him, call two more people from the guild and let's continue," he said to the others.

Liu Ruyun was pulled aside by Chen Fan, feeling baffled.

"Husband, what are you doing? It was so hard to form this party..."

"Listen to me first, I have a bold hypothesis."

Chen Fan looked serious, even a little excited.

"I think Old Man Chen might be my father."

"Ah???"

Liu Ruyun was stunned at first, then looked at him as if he were an idiot.

"Did your hair loss take away your brain wrinkles?"

"If he's your father, I, Liu Ruyun, will eat this staff."

"Please, can you think about something more realistic, don't be so fanciful, okay!"

"No, wife, listen to my analysis!"

Seeing that she didn't believe him, Chen Fan immediately grew anxious.

"Think back, when we first met him on the first day, wasn't his attitude very bad?"

Liu Ruyun thought back and said hesitantly.

"It was very bad, so what?"

"No, no, no, we just invited him to party, and his reaction was clearly a bit over the top."

"There are many people with tempers, that doesn't prove anything."

Liu Ruyun crossed her arms and rolled her eyes.

"But if you add the two subsequent conflicts, it seems very... deliberate?"

Chen Fan thought for a long time before coming up with that word.

Before Liu Ruyun could speak, he continued,

"At that time, the guild had already retreated, but he still called everyone to stop, just to kill a few of us."

"So you mean?"

"He is my father! He holds a grudge against us because of Xiao Lu, which is why he kills us whenever he sees us."

Chen Fan's expression was serious, and he swore.

He carefully recalled everything about Old Man Chen and became increasingly convinced of his guess.

His ID name is Old Man Chen, and his father's surname is also Chen.

Their ages are similar, and if they don't look alike, it must be because he modified his appearance.

Moreover, they are in the same Newbie Village, so there's a high probability he's from Morning Wind City.

Plus that stubborn and stinky attitude, it must be his father!

At first, he hadn't thought in this direction.

But ever since he saw a figure suspected to be his father in the villa area, he started brainstorming.

His thoughts were incredibly clear!

He quickly connected all the details!

Seeing his confident demeanor, Liu Ruyun was half-convinced, half-skeptical.

"But... what if it's not...?"

Chen Fan smiled triumphantly upon hearing this.

"That's simple, wouldn't we know if we go to my father's place and check?"

If his father really moved into the villa area, then the house in Xingfu Community would definitely be empty.

Whether it's true or false, one look will tell!

Thinking that Old Man Chen might be his biological father, Chen Fan was already impatient.

"I'm logging off first, wait for my good news at home."

After he finished speaking, he logged off directly.

Liu Ruyun frowned slightly, shaking her head and sighing.

She must have been blind back then.

Was the blonde really that charming?

Daydreaming is so unrealistic...

There's no hope...

......

Demon Realm.

Dusk City.

After suffering such severe attacks and destruction, the entire city was enveloped in a tense atmosphere.

Lord Gregg made a move but failed to kill the invader, and the opponent escaped.

The news quickly spread.

All the demons were restless, on one hand fearing Lord Gregg's anger would cause bloodshed, and on the other hand, worrying that the human might return for a sneak attack.

"Have you heard? The entire area from the City Lord's Mansion to the West Gate was destroyed, and a lot of demons died."

"Ah, how outrageous! Humans dare to cause trouble in the Demon Realm, they should be flayed alive!"

"That's right, if I met him, I would definitely chop him into four pieces with one slash."

"Heh heh, I heard Captain Otto, who guarded the treasury, was burned to a crisp. You? Forget it..."

"Even Lord Gregg couldn't keep that human, do you two think you're stronger than Lord Gregg?"

"I'm just expressing my attitude, it has nothing to do with strength."

"Heh, king of talk."

"......"

Chen Beixuan, shrouded in black mist, hid among the crowd, listening to these demons discussing and secretly laughing.

Sure enough, no matter what race, they all like to gossip and brag.

They still didn't know that the culprit who attacked and destroyed the city was right beside them.

And they were still spouting nonsense, he would send them all away in a bit.

The black mist trembled slightly twice, and his gaze turned towards the center of the distant teleportation array.

Gregg was confronting and talking with Kalis.

Pedro was arranged by him at the East Gate, the closest place to the battlefield's spatial passage.

That's right, the two of them didn't plan to return the same way.

Instead, they planned to destroy the teleportation array and then launch a surprise attack.

They would break out from the spatial passage of the frontal battlefield!

At this moment, Kalis and Gregg both headed towards outside the city.

Clearly, Kalis's challenge had been accepted.

Chen Beixuan's eyes narrowed slightly, waiting for the two to go far away.

He passed through the crowd and arrived at the center of the five teleportation arrays, ready to act.

But as soon as he raised his staff, a sudden change occurred!
