Zhang Ji ran into Wang’s Compound, immediately exiting with a layer of blood on his body.
“Brother Chen, I have done your duty. ”
“Then let's go to your house,” replied Chen Chen.
“Uh ... But there are some valuables in Wang’s Compound, if ..” Zhang Ji said with a little embarrassment.
“They are only worldly possessions, let it be for now. It is not better if we leave late for your house because of them. Some unexpected incidents may have happened, ”Chen Chen explained warmly, just like an older brother.
Zhao Ji was even more moved by his words. Then, he looked at Steward Zhao.
“Brother Chen, Servant Zhao has done many dangerous affairs and has become the leading think tank for the Horse Theft Quarter. Should we get rid of it? ”
Chen Chen shook his head, pushing his horse towards Official Zhao, calmly asked him, Old “Zhao, let me ask, who in the Zhang family is your internal intruder?”
Upon hearing this, Officer Zhao's body began to tremble.
He knew that this elf was meddling in the affairs between Zhang and Zhao!
The Zhao family is cursed!
Compared to the bloodied Zhang Ji, this elf was much more terrifying, with a smile on her face and calling her “Zhao Tua. ”
“Internal intruder! Hows it? Is there a traitor in my family? ” Zhang Ji asked in disbelief.
The steward Zhao looked at him with disdain, then replied shivering, “This. ”
“Oh? How much did you promise him? ” Chen Chen continues.
“After obliterating Zhangs. Zhang, plus half of the Zhang family's property. The steward Zhang did not dare to hide the truth; after all, against a background as a horse thief, he was not the most loyal man.
“No way... How... You must be kidding! My cousin lived a safe life, and my father adopted her. How could he do that ?! ”
Zhang Ji's entire body trembled as if struck by thunder. He is not in the best condition at the moment.
Chen Chen sighed while looking at Zhang Ji.
This child is still quite young and has not received adequate education by the community. ‘Too young, too simple, sometimes naive,’ thought.
“We can go to your home to see if Official Zhao is telling the truth,” Chen Chen said.
“How?”
“We will talk on our way. Also, bring Steward Zhao on the road. ”
…
Soon, the two arrived at Zhang's compound.
At this point, the guards at the gate were on the highest alert, as the servants patrolled very carefully.
“Young Master is back!”
Although his coat was covered in blood, the servants recognized Zhang Ji and immediately opened the door.
After leaving his horse, Zhang Ji instructed the servants as he pointed towards Official Zhao, “Supervise this person well. ”
“Iya!”
Without saying a word, the servants pushed Steward Zhao aside.
After which, Zhang Ji walked to Chen Chen's side, showing a “please gesture. ”
“Brother Chen, please go first!”
Chen Chen smiled, and instead wiped the blood on Zhang Ji's face in such a way that his facial expression was completely unrecognizable.
“Your acting skills are inadequate, so it would be best if your face remains unrecognizable. When we enter, do as I have taught. This way, we can see if your cousin is a traitor. ”
“Iya!” Zhang Ji replied.
Even at this point, he was still not fully willing to accept the fact that his own cousin had betrayed their family.
The two entered the main building of the Zhang complex one by one. Before Chen Chen could see the interior well, someone ran out and immediately hugged Zhang Ji without saying a word.
“Sepupu! You're okay what? Why is your body covered in blood? “
Chen Chen looked at this person. He was a young man of Chen Chen's age. His face was full of worry, looking rather grandiose.
Clearly, this was Wu Wei, Zhang Ji's cousin.
“System, there are bad guys heading to Zhang nearby?”
After hearing the System's response, Chen Chen felt satisfied.
With this good start, he could test everything with much better certainty now.
…
A few moments later, several more people ran away from the back of the house. The main character was a strong middle-aged man with a burly body. His face, full of rudeness, showed a resemblance to Zhang Ji.
This is clearly Zhang Ji's father, Zhang De.
Zhang De is a military man, earning a living for his family on military credit.
However, he was a rather outspoken person.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have had such a silly child, nor would he have ignored all the calculations and waged war against the much stronger Zhao family just to attack his son, either, he threw his entire family into crisis.
Chen Chen quietly observed every member of the Zhang family.
Zhang Ji's mother looked like an ordinary woman, there was nothing important about her.
On the other hand, Zhang Ji's sister seems to have some form of genetic mutation that makes her look amazing. At the age of 28, she was like a lily that came straight out of the water, very pretty.
And with an expression of her concern as she looked at her brother, she only looked more adorable.
This explained Wu Wei's intent; even Chen Chen was somewhat touched.
Chen Chen thought of these things to himself, unable to help but smile.
“This boy's sister is..?”
Zhang De was the first to notice Chen Chen. He asked Zhang Ji this question.
Zhang Ji immediately escaped Wu Wei's hands and officially introduced Chen Chen.
“This is my newly known brother Chen! He saved my life! His martial arts skills are no worse than mine! Now, he is even willing to help our family! ”
His words were half right, half wrong; everything was taught to him by Chen Chen.
Zhang De did not underestimate him due to Chen Chen Chen's simple attire. Instead, he cupped his fists, stating, “Sister, you are the benefactor of the Zhang family for saving my son! My family will do all we can to help you, even if it means breaking through the flames! ”
Chen Chen frowned. Since they were father and son, their words were also very similar.
“It's part of my responsibility to help when there's a need. Master Zhang, you don't need to be so polite. ”
“I am not polite; I am very serious . This is not a place for conversation, so please follow me inside, “ Zhang De said firmly, pointing to the living room.
Chen Chen nodded and walked straight in the direction he pointed.
As he passed Wu Wei, he could feel a clear sense of hostility.
Inside the living room, Chen Chen took the guest chair as a servant came and served him a cup of tea.
Chen Chen nodded and took a sip from the teacup, his movements elegant and refined.
Everyone's eyes showed signs of surprise upon seeing this.
Chen Chen looked up, somewhat confused. What's up with them?
However, he understood the reason in the next second.
Zhang De took his tea and spent it all in one go, showing a bit of etiquette.
Some of the female dependents, feeling somewhat awkward, tried to sip their tea like Chen Chen, but could not replicate his good grip, looking strange at first glance.
‘The Zhang family is a family of military individuals. They may not be very learned. And also seem to know nothing about drinking tea, ‘Chen Chen thought to himself.
Compared to him, with the experience of his modern society, the so-called Zhangs grand household felt rather rude.
He did what he usually does. If he were to follow the feigning elves he had seen in his last life, at least in terms of the way they drank tea, he would probably scare these people.
“Adik, you have a unique charisma. May I ask where you came from- ”
But even before he could finish, Zhang Ji, who was sitting at the side, finally finished waiting.
At this point, he only wanted to ascertain if his cousin was a traitor in the Zhang family.
Therefore, he loudly shouted, “Dad! Mama! Brother Chen is a very godly person and I find myself fitting in with him in conversation. How about we marry her to Xiao Ya? ”
Pffff!
Upon hearing his words, everyone who pretended to sip their tea could not help but get everything out of their mouths.
