Fanatic!

Chapter 131 If I cannot live to eat from five tripods, I shall die to be cooked in five tripods!
1500 million is an astronomical figure for most people; they've never even dreamed of it, let alone seen it before.

However, upon hearing this number, Huang Meizhen's eyes widened in panic. She quickly walked over and grabbed Chen Wujun's arm.

"Ah Jun, where did you get all this money? Are you...?"

"I earned it, you think I robbed it?" Chen Wujun smiled and said casually.
“My computer room, dance hall and other businesses are making a fortune every day, amounting to five or six hundred thousand a month. I also invested in some other businesses with my senior sister.”

“I have a good business sense; the two largest server rooms in the Walled City are mine.”

"Also, Shark Nine is my senior sister... We are from the same sect, and my senior sister has always taken care of me."

“Ah Jun, Mom doesn’t want 1500 million. I just hope you’re safe and sound. Return the money. As long as you’re safe and sound, that’s better than anything else…” Huang Meizhen’s eyes were filled with even more worry.

He is now in high spirits and enjoying great popularity.

But in Huang Meizhen and Chen Hanliang's eyes, what he said was just their child going astray.

This money is not for wealth, but for saving lives.

"Where can I retreat to? I earned the money myself... But once you're in this circle, there's no getting out," Chen Wujun said, leaning against the cabinet, a calm smile always on his face.

"Besides, this is exactly what I wanted. A true man should live a life of luxury, or die a life of culinary excellence!"

He has done so much and sacrificed so much to have what he has now.

How could he give up.

Having tasted the power, status, and prestige, he only developed greater ambitions, and he would rather die than give them up.

“Enough… Weren’t you the one who risked your life on the stage earlier?” Chen Hanliang’s hands trembled as he said this.

“At the time, I had some conflicts with others. Regardless of whether we agreed to cooperate or not, conflicts always need to be resolved,” Chen Wujun shrugged.

This whole thing really started because he joined Hetu, but he knows his own nature, and even without Hetu, he would have gone down a similar path.

That's the road Yuan Hong, Pei Qingzhi, and others took, where they had a big meal.

There's no need to elaborate on these points.

“Like I said, if you don’t think about yourselves, think about Aqi too. When I was in school, I was called a ‘stinky worm’ every day. Don’t let Aqi be called that too.” Chen Wujun said something that stung.

Chen Hanliang's backbone and inner stubbornness were instantly shattered by those words.

“Just do as I say. I have quite a few enemies in this line of work. Your leaving the walled city will be a good thing for both of us.”

"As for me, you don't need to worry about me." As Chen Wujun spoke, his five fingers snapped up one by one, like whips cracking in the air.

He pinched the protruding corner of the wooden cabinet next to him with his thumb and forefinger, and the hard wood was instantly crushed to powder.

The group stared wide-eyed at the scene, as if they were witnessing a magic trick.

"The Federation has been suppressing news about martial artists. You don't know or understand martial artists. In reality, at my level, even a hundred or two hundred people can't do anything to me. If I want to leave, very few people can stop me."

After Chen Wujun finished speaking, he sat down to the side, letting Chen Hanliang and Huang Meizhen slowly digest the news.

Huang Meizhen's eyes were red and her gaze was hesitant. She glanced at Chen Wujun, then at Chen Hanliang, unable to make up her mind about this matter.

Besides, she couldn't make that decision anyway.

After a long pause, Chen Hanliang sighed, "Let's eat first."

There were many things he didn't understand, but he understood one thing.

The second child in the family is no longer the same child who listened to everything the family used to have.

In just one short year, he has come to understand it completely.

"I really shouldn't have sent you to learn martial arts." This is what Chen Hanliang regrets most now.

“Wu Hong, Wu Jun, Wu Qi…” Chen Wu Jun smiled. “That’s how the names were chosen.”

"That's settled then. After Xinye's funeral, I'll pay for a few units for you so you can move to a different place and collect rent."

"Don't contact anyone in the walled city anymore."

"And don't contact me."

“I’ll go check on it when I have free time,” Chen Wujun said.

“Except for the eldest brother, who will stay in the stronghold, I will arrange things for you to do!”

"Me?" Chen Wuhong was a little confused.

“No, if we’re going to leave, then everyone should leave.” Chen Hanliang immediately objected. One second brother was already enough of a headache for him; how could he possibly leave the eldest brother behind?

"Take him away, are you going to let him continue gambling and drag his whole family down with you? If he stays in the fortress, I'll arrange things for him to do and have someone keep an eye on him. Once I'm sure he's stopped gambling, I'll let him go back," Chen Wujun said.

Even if the eldest brother stays in the walled city, he'll still be an easy target.

If someone is truly unethical and wants to get rid of him, they might kidnap the boss... and he'd be dead.

He didn't feel sorry for him.

"I swear to God, if I gamble again, may I be struck by lightning," Chen Wuhong immediately swore.

He didn't care whether he left the walled city or stayed here. Now that his younger brother was the big boss of Hetu, he could do whatever he wanted in the walled city, so it didn't matter if he didn't leave.

He never expected that Chen Wujun intended to make him a target in the open.

"Two years. The eldest brother will stay in the stronghold for two years. During these two years, he shouldn't go to the new house, and we shouldn't let him know where it is. If he doesn't gamble for two years, I'll let him go back."

The eldest brother, Chen Wuhong, was initially happy, but suddenly felt that something was wrong.

After thinking for a long time, he suddenly widened his eyes: "You sent Mom and Dad away because you were afraid that enemies would come looking for them. You're leaving me here, aren't you afraid that I'll be arrested?"

Chen Hanliang looked at Chen Wujun; he had just thought of this as well.

“Letting Mom and Dad leave was just in case, and also because we didn’t want Aqi to continue living in the Walled City. You’re a gambling addict, who would arrest you? In the underworld, one shouldn’t harm one’s wife and children. I’ll arrange something for you, so you can stay put and nobody will bother with you.” Chen Wujun glanced at him, a fierce glint in his eyes. “If you don’t want to stay in the Walled City, I have friends over at the West Embankment. You can go work there for two years and then come back.”

"Then I'll stay in the stronghold." Seeing Chen Wujun's gaze, Chen Wuhong immediately wilted like a frostbitten eggplant.

Beigang is the center of the universe in the East Ninth District, while Xidi is a remote small town, and it is full of Luoyue people.

He won't go to the West Causeway.

"Ah Jun, why don't you let your older brother come with us?" Huang Meizhen's attention has been diverted; she's now trying to get Chen Wujun to leave, instead of Chen Wuhong to come with them.

This way, at least both sons can be saved.

"Listen to me on this matter; you can't keep an eye on him," Chen Wujun said expressionlessly.

“If he can quit gambling, he can go back in two years. If not, a gambling addict will drag his whole family down sooner or later, so he might as well stay in the walled city.”

At the dinner table, no one spoke; the atmosphere was heavy with silence.

Chen Wuhong lowered his head to eat, a hint of excitement in his eyes. His mind was filled with images of his old cronies and those who had bullied him, now fawning over him.

Chen Wuqi's eyes darted around, and after a moment he asked, "Second Brother, are we moving?"

“Yes, and you can’t tell anyone I’m your second brother!” Chen Wujun said.

He wanted to use this opportunity to sever ties with his original family.

Only by having no weaknesses can one act without restraint.

After finishing his meal, he left, knowing he needed to give Chen Hanliang and Huang Meizhen some time to accept the situation.

Huang Meizhen watched his retreating figure, wanting to say something but holding back.

After Chen Wujun left, she asked with a worried expression, "Brother Liang, what should we do?"

Chen Hanliang remained silent for a long time before finally sighing.

The second son is different from the eldest; he doesn't understand anything anymore.

……

Chen Wujun returned to A Yue's place, had another dinner, and then rolled onto the bed with A Yue in his arms.

After a long while, the room quieted down. A-Yue lay on Chen Wujun's chest, only gently drawing circles on his body with her fingers, unable to move at all.

She fell into a deep sleep not long after.

The next morning at five o'clock, Chen Wujun would get up without fail and go to the rooftop to practice martial arts, starting with Wolf Fist, then Swimming Dragon Palm, Three Emperors Cannon Hammer, and interspersed with Tongbei Fist.

After confronting his family yesterday, he felt exceptionally refreshed while practicing boxing today, and his mind was much clearer.

Songfa Ice Room in the morning.

A few students, while drinking soda, turned around to look: "Is it really Chen Wujun? Are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"

"It's written on the funeral committee's sign!" a student said, pointing towards the funeral hall. "I secretly went to see it last night, and it really is there."

“Same name, right? It can’t be the same person. He only graduated a year ago, how could he become a big shot at HeTu!” another student said.

None of them could believe that their former classmate had now become a big shot in HeTu.

It's still summer vacation, and school hasn't started yet, so a few people came over to chat while waiting to watch.

“It’s him…” Lin Zetao interrupted the others, gesturing for them to come closer, with an expression as if he were telling them a secret.

"He went to the martial arts gym with me back then... and I saw the girl with braces a couple of days ago... she said that the guy who gambled on the boxing ring before was him... now, her neighborhood is Ah Jun's territory, and he has to pay protection money to his men every month."

"Really? I don't believe it!" The others still didn't believe it.

"You'll see in a moment." Lin Zetao now regrets not sticking with the martial arts school back then, otherwise he would definitely be very skilled now.

However, I am also proud that my classmate is a master of combining images.

If anything happens in the future, I should go to Ah Jun. Considering our past relationship, she will definitely be able to help me out.

The students waited until noon before they saw many people come out of the mourning hall.

The group immediately put down their soda bottles and ran out of the ice room.

Those who came out of the mourning hall were all tall and muscular, their suits stretched high by their muscles. They exuded a sense of menace and ferocity, and people were afraid of them.

A moment later, a tall young man in a black suit and a glamorous long-haired woman walked out. They were talking and laughing as they walked, followed by more than a dozen people.

People around them quickly made way for them.

"Look, it's Ah Jun!"

"Is it really him? He doesn't look like him. His build is different, and he's not that tall. Only his face is somewhat similar."

Over the past year, Chen Wujun has undergone tremendous changes in height, physique, temperament, and even appearance.

“That’s how all martial arts practitioners are. I’ll call him if you don’t believe me!” Lin Zetao said confidently.

Seeing that he was about to shout, the others quickly covered his mouth and dragged him aside.

If they met Chen Wujun alone, they would still dare to muster up the courage to greet him.

But in this situation, they were all afraid of being noticed by others, so they dared not let Lin Zetao call for help.

The group was in a state of shock, nothing could be more awe-inspiring than what they were witnessing.

These teenagers were also interested in...

Who's that woman next to him? She's so beautiful... mature and attractive.
