“I don’t know much of the details!” Meng Quanshan said. “But, don’t you worry Mr. Chen, when we get back, I will ask the Ninth Young Lord to look into it and get the management to confirm a date as soon as possible so that Mr. Chen can receive the reward!”

“Mmm, if that’s the case, I’ll just have be patient and wait for your good news.” Chen Xiaobei’s tone turned solemn, “Lady Wenren only has five months left to live. Please be quick about it!”

“Yes, certainly!” Meng Qianshan saluted Chen Xiaobei with a fist in the palm, and then left.

After Meng Qianshan left, someone who was not supposed to even approach Chen Xiaobei came forward to see him.

That person was none other than the fat Zhu Dachang, Lu Changwei’s toad who had, time and time again, helped Lu Changwei cook up conspiracies.

Chen Xiaobei did not know this man very well, but he was certain that this fatty was an intelligent man.

“What is it that you’ve come to me to talk about?” Chen Xiaobei asked.

“Never lie before an honest man!” Zhu Dachang said earnestly. “I would like to join Mr. Chen!”

“Join me?” Chen Xiaobei eyed the man suspiciously. “Are you kidding me? Based on your relationship with Lu Changwei, don’t you want to take revenge on me for killing him?”

“Master Wei had always taken care of me, but that’s an entirely different matter . This time, he really did cross the line! If he had continued the way he did, he would have caused everyone here to die! That’s why I’m thinking that Mr. Chen killing him was the right choice!”

“Heh, that is a justified answer. But I won’t accept you!” Chen Xiaobei shrugged.

“Why? I swear to god that I will be loyal to you! If I harbor any ill intentions, I pray I’ll be struck by lighting and die a horrible death!”

“Heh, swearing? Do you really think that I would believe you just because you swear to god?” Chen Xiaobei asked.

“I know that Mr. Chen won’t believe me just like that! To prove my devotion, I’m willing to do anything for Mr. Chen! Just say the word. I would even die if that’s what is required of me!”

“Then go ahead and die!” Chen Xiaobei looked at the man blankly.

“I…” Zhu Dachang was struck dumb.

“Oh, don’t look so innocent! When Lu Changwei wanted to kill me earlier, don’t tell me that you didn’t plot against me.”

“Yes, I did. I did help Master Wei to conspire against you. If Mr. Chen wants me dead, then I’ll die!”

Chen Xiaobei did not respond. He simply stood aside and watched Zhu Dachang.

The fatty actually amassed his True Kang and was about to stab himself in the heart!

Chen Xiaobei himself was an Oscar-award winning actor. From the fatty’s expression and motions, Chen Xiaobei could tell that fatty was not acting. He really was going to end himself.

“Stop it! You might be worth more alive.” Chen Xiaobei ordered.

“Mr. Chen, does that mean you accept me?”

Zhu Dachang looked delighted.

Chen Xiaobei ignored his question and instead asked. “Tell me, what’s your intention of joining me? Why were you so ready to die?”

“To be honest, our Zhu family are just 3rd class citizens in Silver Plume. After mingling with Master Wei, we could only make it to 2nd class. I only served Master Wei so that our family could benefit from the association and not be bullied by others!” said Zhu Da Chang. “But as Master Wei is dead, the one million young people here including our very own young governor, the heirs of the Three-Star Temples and the heirs of hundreds and thousands of powerful families have recognized you as their great benefactor! If Mr. Chen does not accept me, many people will come and oppress me! Quite frankly, I don’t mind dying but I cannot bear to drag my entire family into this. That’s why I’m willing to kill myself so that my family could have peace.”

Zhu Dachang had spoken passionately. It was clear to see that he did not make it up, but was speaking from his heart. He really was willing to sacrifice himself for his family.

“Mm, of all virtues, filial piety is most important! I believe you, for the time being!” Chen Xiaobei nodded. “But, this does not mean that I’ll accept you! If you want to join me, then I want you to think of a way to infiltrate the Lu family’s internal affairs! The moment you earn the Lu Family’s trust is when I will accept you!”

“I understand! You want me to be your spy, to influence the Lu family at their own game of chess when necessary!” Zhu Dachang was very smart and quickly understood Chen Xiaobei’s intention. “But, then that would mean that our Zhu Family…”

“Your family will be oppressed. But I promise you that this will only be temporary!” Chen Xiaobei said. “Once, we are done screwing over the Lus, I guarantee that the Zhu family will become the top-tier family!”

“Screwing over the Lu Family? How is that even possible?” Zhu Dachang looked doubtful. “The Lu Family has been in control of the South Town Star Temple for generations! They are wealthy and powerful, and the master of the house, Lu Mingjun and Lu’s ancestors have many powerful connections in the Temple, and are highly regarded by the Temple Overlord! They were even able to water down a massive issue like Atlantis! It’s going to be impossible to screw them over!”

Chen Xiaobei simply replied, “Don’t ask what you’re not supposed to ask! You don’t have to worry about the things that you needn’t worry about!”

“Uh…” Zhu Dachang swallowed fearfully.

“I killed Lu Changwei. The Lu Family will make me their enemy! I’m not afraid to reveal to you openly that my plan is to upend the Lu Family! As for how I am going to do that is a topic for another time!” Chen Xiaobei breathed hard on him. “If you don’t dare to play this game, then you can just leave! I will just pretend that you never said any of the things that you said, and I won’t hold you accountable!”

“I…” Zhu Dachang considered his options and then came to a decision. “I won’t go! I must follow Mr. Chen!”

Chen Xiaobei raised an eyebrow at his reply. “Good! At least you have some guts! As long as you don’t let me down, I won’t let you or your family down!”

“Thank you very much Mr. Chen!” Zhu Dachang gave a low bow before he left.

“Lu Changwei is dead but I’m still able to plant a hidden chess piece in the Lu family!” Chen Xiaobei thought to himself. “My true strength has been revealed. This will surely draw a lot of trouble! But as long as I can overcome the challenges and secure my position, my next step would be to kill all of Lu Family! This chess piece should be very useful!”

“Big Bro Chen!” Linghu Shuang approached, holding up her mask, and whispered, “My Sifu will arrive in three days. Would you like to come with us?”

“Go with you? To where? Are you planning to kidnap me?” Chen Xiaobei said cheekily.
