Chen Che returned home after hanging out all night.
By the end of the night, he had formulated a complete plan and had already implemented part of it.
…
"Nephew, where did you go after the banquet ended last night? Why didn't you come back all night?"
Wang Zhen was practicing martial arts in the courtyard. When he saw Chen Che coming back, he naturally asked.
"Cough cough cough..."
Chen Che coughed lightly and replied: "I drank too much last night and spent the night in the hall...cough cough cough..."
At this moment, he had to cherish every minute and every second, so he didn't hide the cough.
"Are you sick again?"
Wang Zhen frowned slightly when he saw Chen Che kept coughing.
"Maybe you caught a cold last night...cough cough cough..."
Chen Che explained.
At this time, Wang Rou also walked out of the house. After hearing what her son said, she quickly went back to the house, took a coat and put it on Chen Che.
"You are already weak...and you don't pay attention to taking care of yourself.
Oh, Mom, go and make you some hot porridge."
Hearing this, Chen Che quickly refused and said, "Mom, no need, I have to go to my adoptive father to practice kung fu later."
"Are you still practicing like this? Why don't you take a day off first?"
Wang Rou looked worried.
"Today is the first day, and I have to rest on the first day. How can this be justified?"
After Chen Che said this, he looked at Wang Zhen.
"Uncle, please go to the Lin family later and tell Miss Lin that I am sick."
"ah?"
Wang Zhen was a little surprised when he heard this.
In the past few days, Miss Lin's family has actually been to the house several times. Each time she came, she brought many gifts, which made her sister very happy.
But my nephew didn't react much to this.
What does this mean today?
Could it be that he has changed his mind?
"Then Miss Lin's character is really good, but our family's conditions may not be as good as ours."
Next to her, Wang Rou looked a little confused.
"Ahem, cough, cough, it's just ordinary friends. Don't think too much about it."
Chen Che said helplessly.
"Then you still hinted that people are coming to see you... Che'er, I'm not telling you, you have to be more sincere in some aspects."
Wang Rou blamed.
"Okay, okay! I understand, I'm going to find my adoptive father to practice martial arts."
Chen Che responded with a smile, then turned around.
As soon as he turned around, the smile on his face disappeared and was replaced by solemnity.
When he came back, he saw some strange faces near his home.
Although they looked like passers-by, at this moment he had to suspect that someone among them was sent by someone to monitor his family.
…
After leaving home, Chen Che went straight to the head of the Tianlang Gang.
"I've met Hall Master Chen!"
When the two Sirius Gang members at the door saw Chen Che, they immediately greeted him warmly.
Chen Che nodded and smiled, then stepped into the main helm.
In the yard of the chief helmsman, Feng Dachuan was practicing, just like when he first came here.
"Cough cough cough..."
Chen Che did not hide his cough.
Feng Dachuan stopped when he heard the noise and looked towards Chen Che.
"What's wrong with you?"
"I drank too much last night and caught a cold again. It may have caused the root cause of the disease."
Chen Che looked helpless.
"You kid is too weak to drink. Don't show off in the future."
Feng Dachuan frowned and scolded, and then said to the room: "Xiao He, make Chen Che a bowl of Qi-tonifying soup, using the best medicine!"
"good!"
The maid's response immediately came from inside the house.
Feng Dachuan continued: "Since you are sick, let me teach you some basic theories today. When you are fully recovered, you can start practicing again."
"Good adoptive father."
Chen Che's tone was respectful, but his heart was filled with chills.
Afterwards, Feng Dachuan began teaching.
A quarter of an hour later, the maid Xiaohe came to the courtyard carrying a bowl of hot Qi-tonifying soup.
Feng Dachuan turned around and took the qi-boosting soup, and then personally served it to Chen Che.
Chen Che didn't hesitate at all, he took the Qi Bu Qi Decoction and drank it in one gulp.
There was a quick response from the Yuan Devouring Bottle, and a large amount of energy gathered in it.
And in this energy, there is a faint hint of black.
At this moment, Chen Che no longer had any luck in his heart.
The fact is before his eyes, the person who drugged him was the adoptive father in front of him who seemed quite friendly.
"Thank you, foster father, I feel much better...cough cough cough!"
After Chen Che drank the medicine, he handed the bowl back to the maid next to him.
"Well, since you are sick, go back and rest early.
If you don't get better tomorrow, I'll take you to see a doctor."
Feng Dachuan sighed softly.
"Well, that kid resigned."
Chen Che covered his mouth and coughed lightly, bowed and saluted, and then left the main helm.
…
The day passes quickly.
Late this night.
The Mingyue Building on Saqian Street in the East District is still brightly lit.
Since the probability of evil spirits greatly increasing at night, most shops in Stonefire City will be closed when it gets dark.
But Mingyue Tower is an exception.
As the top brothel in Saqian Street, in order to ensure safety, Mingyue Tower spent thousands of taels of silver to purchase Lieyang stones and inlaid them in every corner of the interior when it opened.
With these blazing sun stones as a guarantee, Mingyue Tower dares to do business at night.
…
"Sir, please continue to play tomorrow!"
"Okay...hehe...wait for me tomorrow!"
On the street outside Mingyue Tower, Hu Cai waved to the girl from Mingyue Tower who came out to see him off, and then walked towards home.
His home is only one street away from Mingyue Tower. If you walk, you can get there in half a quarter of an hour.
"I wonder if the tigress is asleep?"
Hu Cai quickened his pace while thinking.
As the strategist of the Tianlang Gang, his only hobby is visiting brothels.
But the one in the family is a martial arts practitioner and is very fierce, so he can only come here once every few days, and every time he has to use the excuse that the gang affairs are heavy, so he comes home late.
The journey along the street goes by very quickly.
Seeing that he had reached the alley where his home was located, Hu Cai began to think about how to explain it later.
When he arrived at the door of his home, he was about to take out the key and open the door, but at this moment, several coughs suddenly came from not far away.
Cough cough cough…
Hearing the movement, he subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw a young man dressed in white and with a pale face standing beside the wall of his house in the dark night.
The young man made a fist with his right hand and covered his mouth, coughing continuously, but there was no expression of pain on his face, which looked quite strange.
"Chen... Hall Master Chen... what are you doing here?"
Hu Cai recognized the person at a glance, and his figure immediately trembled.
"Cough cough cough..."
Chen Che coughed and slowly walked towards him.
When he got closer, he raised his head and said coldly: "Mr. Hu, there is something... I want to ask you."
