Immortal Emperor's Life As A Son-in-law

C254 Arrangements and Departure



C254 Arrangements and Departure

Lingling completely clung onto Xiao Chen. She was like a plaster, unable to tear him apart.    

    

Xiao Chen still wanted to go to the Xue family to take a look, but he was stopped by Chi Ping.    

    

Tonight, Xiao Chen's actions in the Zheng family had caused a huge impact to Chi Ping.    

    

He wanted to take revenge, but he didn't want Xiao Chen to be in danger. Besides, his concept was at least the same as that of an ordinary person.    

    

"I'm tired. Let's go back first!"    

    

Looking at his gloomy expression, Xiao Chen more or less guessed what he was thinking.    

    

"If you are worried about me, there is no need for that."    

    

Chi Ping only smiled and quietly closed his eyes in the backseat. He frowned, but no one knew what he was thinking.    

    

Xiao Chen thought for a while and did not say much. He drove the car back to the neighborhood and waited until late at night before quietly leaving.    

    

After getting Wu Tao and the other two out of the hospital, Pei Wen and Luo Yu Jia also woke up.    

    

"I think that now, you guys should have found out who I am."    

    

Xiao Chen smiled faintly when he saw the three of them being so reserved.    

    

He had sent them to the hospital earlier because he wanted them to be bait. He also wanted to find someone to protect them for the time being.    

    

However, now that the matter had almost come to an end, there was no need for Xiao Chen to stay in Yanjing any longer.    

    

Therefore, it was not a big deal to put them in the hospital.    

    

"Since I have promised to give you guys a job, I will keep my promise. The previous card will be used to fund your operations. You all stay in Yanjing and pay close attention to the movements of all parties in Yanjing. Especially the Xue, Zheng, and Tao families."    

    

"Also, investigate that client of yours with all your might. If you have any news, report it immediately."    

    

Xiao Chen did not give the three of them the chance to object and gave the order on the spot.    

    

"Sir, that, that..." Pei Wen pursed her lips, appearing somewhat worried as she looked hesitantly at Xiao Chen.    

    

"Speak!"    

    

"It's fine if it's the Tao family, but Xue and Zheng are both from the Five Great Clans. I'm afraid that it will be very, very difficult for us to..."    

    

Xiao Chen furrowed his brows. Now that the three of them were too weak, it was indeed a problem.    

    

After pondering for a while, Xiao Chen calmed his gaze and said slowly, "I will send someone to assist you."    

    

After saying that, Xiao Chen didn't stay any longer. He then contacted Cen Jin and asked her to send two people to Yanjing to assist them.    

    

In addition, he also transferred Tia Ce over. As the person who followed him the earliest, Xiao Chen had absolute trust in Tia Ce.    

    

Xiao Chen still couldn't trust Wu Qian and the others, so he needed to find someone to keep an eye on them. Tia Ce was the best candidate.    

    

After making the arrangements, Xiao Chen returned to the community.    

    

Lingling was curled up on the sofa like a sleeping kitten.    

    

Xiao Chen frowned. Before he left, this woman was still sleeping in her room. When did she come out?    

    

He poured a glass of water and took a sip. He did not intend to talk to her.    

    

But just as he was about to turn to the bedroom, a hand suddenly grabbed him.    

    

Feeling her cold and trembling hand, he hesitated for a moment and didn't immediately shake her off.    

    

Dense beads of sweat dripped down from Lingling's forehead.    

    

With a panicked expression, she closed her eyes tightly and her body suddenly began to struggle for no reason.    

    

"No, no! I don't want to die yet. Don't kill me, don't kill me! "    

    

His panicked and fearful tone was filled with grief and pleading.    

    

Xiao Chen frowned and slowly asked, "Who? Who wants to kill you?"    

    

"Ming, Ming..." Lingling's trembling lips repeated one word, but it was only one word.    

    

In the next moment, she suddenly opened her eyes, but the fear in her eyes did not retreat immediately.    

    

Only when her blurred vision recovered its clarity did she see Xiao Chen's figure.    

    

Facing his eyes that were as bright as the moon in the darkness, her heart inexplicably calmed down. She smiled awkwardly and slowly released her palm.    

    

"You're back?"    

    

"Who wants to kill you?" Xiao Chen stared into her eyes and asked word by word.    

    

The solemn look in her eyes made Lingling's eyes flash. She turned her head and smiled sheepishly.    

    

"It was just a nightmare. Why are you so serious?"    

    

"Dream?"    

    

"As a person, he will always have small dreams in his life. There are good and bad dreams. It's just a coincidence that this dream is a little scary. "    

    

"Is that so?" Xiao Chen looked deeply into her eyes and did not say anything else.    

    

Seeing him turn his head, Lingling secretly sighed and reached out to pat the sofa. She smiled and said, "Do you want to go together?"    

    

But Xiao Chen did not pay attention to her. He shook his head and went back to the bedroom, leaving the sofa to her.    

    

After sleeping for the whole night, Xiao Chen received a call from Tia Ce the next morning.    

    

Xiao Chen told him the contact details of Wu Qian and the other two. He didn't intend to meet him.    

    

Chi Ping also came out of the bedroom with dark circles under his eyes. When he saw Xiao Chen, he waved his hand and greeted him.    

    

"Hey, Xiao Chen, let's get out of here!"    

    

"What about revenge?"    

    

"I will take revenge, but after I finish studying the Health Potion, I will personally take revenge with the things my father left me. "    

    

Compared to the time when he asked Xiao Chen for help, Chi Ping seemed much calmer. He wasn't too excited when he said those words.    

    

However, the determination in his words was heavier and deeper than before.    

    

"Can you give me a seat in the Health Potion research group? "Chi Ping smiled and asked Xiao Chen.    

    

"As long as you are willing, I welcome you with both hands. But have you really decided? The Health Potion is still an incomplete item. With just it, it's hard to say whether or not it can be artificially created to become a cultivator."    

    

" I will complete it! I will take revenge for my father. This is a duty as a son, and also a duty!"    

    

Chi Ping said in a low voice. The resolute meaning of his words did not diminish in the slightest, and it was even deeper than before.    

    

Xiao Chen looked deeply into his eyes and nodded after a long time.    

    

On the same day, Chi Ping packed his things and returned to the Golden Orchid with Xiao Chen. Lingling was also with him.    

    

After leaving for a few days, the Golden Orchid did not change much, but there were more people in the courtyard of back hill of Half Mountain Villa.    

    

Chu Huaiyu and Lau Ruman had already moved into the courtyard. Lin Yichao and Lin Zhiwei were also temporarily staying in the courtyard.    

    

Because of Tia Ce's departure, Tia Ce's mother was also temporarily placed in the courtyard by Xiao Chen.    

    

The old man was kind, but after all, he was from a poor family. Facing so many wealthy families suddenly, he seemed somewhat reserved.    

    

However, whether it was the Lin family siblings or Chu Huaiyu, they were not people who put on airs. They called her aunt as fragrant as possible.    

    

After getting along with each other for a day, the uneasiness and restraint in the old man's heart melted a lot.    

    

When Xiao Chen returned, a group of people were eating dinner.    

    

Chu Huaiyu's eyes immediately darkened when she saw Lingling. She glanced at the corner of Xiao Chen's eyes and only thought that Xiao Chen did not exist.    

    

Lingling did not treat herself as an outsider. She smiled and greeted them and went to the table.    

    

Chu Huaiyu did not want to eat anymore. She threw away the bowl and chopsticks and went back to the room.    

    

"Well, I think we have something to do tonight, so I will take my leave."    

    

Lin Yichao's eyesight was not weak. When he saw that the atmosphere was not right, he immediately took Lin Zhiwei and left.    

    

Only Lingling was left to eat.    

    

"Are you full? Then get lost!" Xiao Chen stared at Lingling gloomily and scolded her.    

    

However, his wife still needed to be coaxed. He could only brace himself and chase after Chu Huaiyu.
