Playing the male antagonist in a melodramatic novel is fine for a bit of fun.

When Chen Zhou returned home, he saw Chen Mu sitting in the middle of the living room with a bell in his hand and Tong Xiao sitting next to him.

Behind them stood a figure, clearly a puppet.

The moment Chen Mu saw Chen Zhou enter, his tense body relaxed.

Chen Zhou smiled at the two of them: "Mom and Dad, it's all taken care of."

Chen Mu nodded: "That's good."

Tong Xiao then asked, "Are you alright?"

"No, with their abilities, I couldn't break their defenses even if I stood still," Chen Zhou replied with a smile.

Hearing the sound, Chen Ya, Chen Xin, and Chen Ming also came out.

At the same time, Chen Zhou pulled up a chair and sat down in front of Chen Mu, and Chen Ya and the other two followed suit.

Chen Zhou originally intended to talk to Chen Mu about the cause of this incident and the people involved, but after Chen Ming appeared, he sensed a very faint trace of spiritual energy on Chen Ming's body.

He glanced at Chen Ming with some surprise, preparing to ask him later.

Afterwards, everyone gathered together, and Chen Zhou began to recount how he crippled Zhang Ling's martial arts at the Shanghai Youth Gathering, then how Zhang Ling joined the Ghost Doctor Sect and invited three grandmasters, and how, on the advice of Chu Yang, the director of the Spring City Bureau of Eccentricity, he cooperated with Hu Desheng, whose grandson and granddaughter-in-law were injured by puppets, to deal with the Chen family, until finally, they all died at his hands.

Anger flashed in Chen Xin's eyes: "This Hu Desheng really doesn't learn his lesson! We let him go last time, and now he's causing trouble again!"

A large part of the reason why we didn't take drastic measures against Hu Desheng was for the sake of stability in Shanghai. Who knew that he would not repent and even think about taking action against the Chen family? He's really courting death.

Chen Ya nodded and asked, "Do you know where the Hu family and the Cheng family went?"

Chen Zhou shook his head: "I didn't pay much attention to this, but I can ask Yueyue for help."

He understood his sister's intention: to eliminate the threat completely.

Although he didn't intervene, he didn't object either.

Chen Ya nodded and began contacting Guo Yueyue.

Chen Ming thought for a moment: "Is there anything I can do?"

Chen Zhou nodded: "There really is."

"Tomorrow, you and Xin Xin will represent the Chen family and go to the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs and the Inspectorate to support those two."

Chen Xin and Chen Ming both nodded, indicating that they understood.

Chen Mu and Tong Xiao looked at their children as they finalized their plans, exchanged a glance, and smiled with satisfaction.

Then, Chen Mu said, "Zhou, go and thank your Uncle Wen tomorrow."

Wen Yan's advance notice was a gesture of goodwill, and we should naturally express our gratitude.

Tomorrow, Chen Mu needs to hold a press conference to announce to the entire city that he is fine, so he can't go himself; Chen Zhou will have to go instead.

Chen Zhou nodded: "Okay."

After finishing their conversation, Chen Zhou asked the family chef to prepare some food, as he was feeling a bit hungry.

Then, Chen Zhou looked at Chen Ming and asked, "Xiao Ming, where did you go today?"

Chen Zhou also planned to investigate the traces of spiritual energy on Chen Ming's body, hoping to gain some unexpected insights.

Chen Ming was taken aback, then said, "I went to the head office, and then I went with Assistant Bai to one of our family's branches, the one my aunt arranged for her niece Tang Shishi to work at."

As he spoke, Chen Ming looked at Chen Mu and said, "Dad, I've fired Tang Shishi."

He felt he should tell Chen Mu about this, lest his aunt cause trouble and take it out on Brother Bai.

Chen Mu nodded: "Yes, well done."

Assistant Bai has already told him about this.

Chen Mu expressed his approval of this.

Tang Shishi was just a freeloader who was brought in to give Tong Xinyi face.

Unfortunately, he failed to recognize his own position and provoked Xiaoming and Baizhan, so he only has himself to blame for this outcome.

Tong Xiao nodded: "Well done."

Tong Xiao also didn't get along with her older sister.

If it weren't for the fact that they were siblings, Tong Xiao wouldn't want to talk to her at all.

Chen Zhou was thinking about the head office and branch offices, planning to go and check tomorrow to see if any small spiritual veins had formed there.

If that's the case, then Chen Zhou should move it to a barren mountain and protect it properly.

The group chatted for a while longer, and after the food was served, they ate some more with Chen Zhou.

……

The Guo family.

Guo Yueyue and Zhuque lay together looking at some photos of Qin Fa, trying to figure out where Qin might be.

Suddenly, Guo Yueyue glanced at her phone and saw a message Chen Ya had sent her.

She sighed, "Zhuque, you keep an eye on things for a bit, I'll be busy for a while."

She investigated very easily. The Cheng family members hadn't run away at all, and the Hu family members were also very easy to locate because they were carrying mobile phones and other electronic devices.

Guo Yueyue wrote a small program that can be used to locate people from the Cheng and Hu families.

After finishing writing it, she sent it to Chen Ya.

After doing all that, Guo Yueyue continued her analysis with Zhuque.

……

The following day, Chen Mu held a press conference, ostensibly to introduce the Chen family's new products, but in reality to convey to the business community that he was safe and sound and that the Chen family would not fall.

Most of the people in the business community who saw this news looked puzzled.

They were all pondering the same question: Haven't the three grandmasters of the Ghost Doctor Sect and Director Hu made their move yet?

Otherwise, it wouldn't explain why Chen Mu was able to hold a press conference without any problems.

As for Chen Zhou, he was currently leading everyone in martial arts practice.

The early bird catches the worm, and daily practice sessions are essential.

After completing the practice, Chen Ya took the puppet and followed the mini-program provided by Guo Yueyue to find the Hu family.

As for the Cheng family, since they haven't even made their move yet, the matter has been postponed.

Chen Xin and Chen Ming went to the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs and the Department of Inspectorate to support the two who were about to become the director and director of the bureau and department, respectively.

Tong Xiao continued with her daily life, after all, everything was in the past.

Chen Zhou continued to teach Guo Le, who once again entered a state of enlightenment by leveraging his telekinetic abilities.

……

Wang Lang looked at Chen Mu on his phone and smiled.

Perfect timing! This is the perfect time to barge into the Chen family's house and disrupt Chen Mu's press conference. Consider it the Chen family's revenge for squeezing out the Wang family's business in Shanghai.

With that in mind, Wang Lang led five Transformation Realm experts directly to the Chen family.

……

The Chen family.

Everyone else was busy, so only Chen Zhou and Guo Yueyue were eating at the Chen family home.

Meanwhile, Guo Yueyue also had some of her attention on her sister who had suddenly realized something.

After all, enlightenment cannot be disturbed.

Therefore, Chen Zhou was the only one who was eating seriously.

Suddenly, a security guard flew in from outside the door, and Chen Zhou used his spiritual power to counteract the force of the impact.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Lang led five people into the Chen family's gate.

Wang Lang spotted Chen Zhou immediately and put on an excited expression: "Wang Zhou, I'm your father."

Chen Zhou said succinctly, "Get lost!"
