“Alright. You don’t have to console me anymore! I think it’s better for you not to get involved in my problem! I don’t want to cause you trouble if something bad happens during the investigation! I have to hold on to it for quite a number of years! I will never be defeated by it!” said Luo Puti in a determined manner.
She did not even dare to tell her grandpa about the thing that she told Chen Xiaobei. Naturally, she felt slightly relieved after she shared it with someone she trusted.
“Did you come across something that is related to the disappearance of your parents? Can you stop saying that you don’t want to cause trouble to me?!”
“Don’t ask me about it anymore. I will never tell you.”
“Why not? Do you think I’m too weak to help you?”
“To be brutally honest! The answer is yes! I did come across something terrifying! And I don’t want to get you involved in it! Don’t you forget that you still have your parents to take care of! Not exposing them to danger is what you should do!”
Taken aback, now Chen Xiaobei understood why his parents wished that Luo Puti could become their daughter-in-law in the future.
“Actually…. I’m not as weak as you think I am…”
“I know that you have a lot of potential with you! And someday, you are going to transform into a dragon and fly into the sky! But, I can’t wait anymore! Time is running out for me! What if you are half as powerful as Chen Zhufeng? That will be really great! And you will be able to help me!”
“Huh? Chen Zhufeng? Do you know his true identity?” asked Chen Xiaobei in a shocking manner.
“Yes. He is the person put pressure on the Zhuang Family and I mentioned to you that there is a high chance that he is going to become the champion of the upcoming martial arts competition! And you told me that he is some super genius! Have you forgotten about that?”
“Ugh…”
Seeing that Luo Puti was acting all serious, Chen Xiaobei did not know whether to cry or laugh.
“Actually I am Chen Zhufeng!”
“You? Can you stop acting tough! Not even a three-year-old kid will believe something this stupid!”
“I can swear to god! I’m not trying to act tough in front of you…”
“Alright! Stop the nonsense!”
Clearly Luo Puti did not believe in Chen Xiaobei at all.
“All I got now is just some random intel… I will not do anything about it yet. So, it’s useless for me to tell you now! As for the Chen Zhufeng matter. You can use your fist to prove that I’m wrong during the martial arts competition!”
“Alright! Let’s wait till the martial arts competition! I will definitely give you a pleasant surprise!” said Chen Xiaobei calmly.
He even felt like laughing out loud. Luckily, Luo Puti was still trying to gather more information. That was why it was not necessary for him to rush to prove that he was Chen Zhufeng. It would be dramatic when Chen Xiaobei unveiled his true identity to Luo Puti during the martial arts competition. The ice-cold queen was about to turn into an adorable child.
After that, Chen Xiaobei told Luo Puti the purpose he came and look for her. Naturally, Luo Puti was more than willing to help him. She personally assigned Wu Tianhe to travel to Green Vine City to protect the Lan Family.
Firstly, Wu Tianhe was the deputy chief inspector of Six Doors. He would be the top choice when it came to experience, position, and combat power. Secondly, Wu Tianhe owed Chen Xiaobei a huge favor after he saved his life. In other words, he would not need to worry that Wu Tianhe would side with his enemies. Though things were about to get chaotic really soon, as long as his family was well protected - Chen Xiaobei had nothing to fear of.
Ring
Right after Chen Xiaobei took care of this matter, Yue Junmo started to bombard them with calls to remind them to go for the special dinner. Luo Puti did reject his calls multiple but he just would not give up calling her.
“It’s your fault! Why would you say yes to him? Now, he is haunting us! What should we do now? I don’t think he had good intentions when he said that he wanted to invite us over for dinner!”
“Let me talk to him since you feel disgusted when you talk to him!”
With a smile on his face, Chen Xiaobei took her cell phone.
“Yes! You are my hubby! So, you should do the talking! Scold him!”
Luo Puti’s eyes were beaming with the light of hope. Clearly, she wished that Chen Xiaobei would scold him on her behalf.
“Hello? Young Master Yue? We will be arriving in half an hour! Don’t worry! We will not miss the dinner!”
“Arriving in half an hour? Are you trying to lick his boots after knowing that he is the young master of Mount Hua Faction? You can go on your own! I’m definitely not going with you!”
“Do you think your hubby is that kind of person that will get down to lick someone’s boots? I’m going to slap his face! Are you sure you don’t want to come with me?”
“Slap his face? I-I think I will go with you. I’m afraid that someone will slap your face. I will be able to save your dignity if I stay by your side!”
“Hehe! Hold on! Let your hubby bring the car over here to come and get you!” said Chen Xiaobei in a joyful manner.
“Okay… Hold on! Something is not right! Just now you told me that you will not call me your wife until you help to solve the problem! Now, you are calling yourself my hubby! I don’t see a difference there! Come back here and explain to me!”
At Zi Ming Club.
As the private club of the Zhuang Family, they would never invite outside to come here. This place was designed for important guests of the Zhuang Family. Without Zhuang Hao’s permission, one could never get in here no matter how rich the person was. In order to protect the privacy of the guest, the soundproofing system had been optimized to the best. No one would notice anything even if someone put up a fight in the room.
“Do you know why Yue Junmo wants to invite us to come here to have dinner?” asked Luo Puti.
“I know… A tad bit about it… The previous head of the Zhuang Family is now the grand elder of Mount Hua Faction!”
“Eh? This secret was kept for more than a few decades! How did you know about it?!”
“As the chief inspector of Six Doors Organization, I came to know about it when I read the historical scroll of Mount Hua Faction!”
“I have told you earlier that I’m no ordinary person! It’s your loss if you don’t come and look for my help!”
Actually, Chen Xiaobei came to know about it when he eavesdropped on the meeting that was being held in the Zhuang Family’s mansion.
The Zhuang Family had Mount Hua Faction supporting them.
Yap Family had Mount Shu Faction supporting them.
Liu Family had Green Town Faction supporting them.
All of them were not to be trifled with. With the help of all those ancient factions, that was how they managed to become the most powerful families in Dragon City.
“Don’t call yourself my hubby again! If not I’m going to beat you up!”
“Are you sure about that?” asked Chen Xiaobei with an evil smile.
“I’m sure…”
Immediately, Luo Puti put on a new face.
“Hubby! You are so nice to me!”
“Hehe! Both of you look really sweet and lovely tonight!”
Suddenly, Yue Junmo strode towards them with a hypocritical smile on his face.
