Chapter 220: Each Generation Produces Its Own Talents

"Good, very good!"

Chen Che insisted on not reconciling, so Huang Shili put away his feigned humility and revealed his true nature.

"Since that's the case, I won't play the grandson here anymore."

Huang Shili looked at Chen Che and Ma Youxiang with a gloomy expression and said: "The winner takes all, I have nothing to say. But the Huang Family has been operating for many years after all; even if it suffers such a disaster, it won't collapse.

As the saying goes, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse. With me here, the Huang Family will sooner or later flourish again."

Chen Che raised an eyebrow: "So?"

Huang Shili said: "The meaning is very simple, I admit defeat. Chen Che, I admit I underestimated you; you have some skills and crooked ways. Rest assured, even though I hate you in my heart, the Huang Family will no longer cause you trouble. This matter ends here."

"That suits me perfectly."

Chen Che smiled in a friendly manner.

"Hmph!"

Huang Shili gave Ma Youxiang one last glare, not wanting to invite further humiliation, and flicked his sleeves as he left.

Ma Youxiang looked at Chen Che and said: "Mr. Chen, I will also head back first. When you get out, I will definitely throw a grand banquet to welcome you."

"Good."

Chen Che nodded.

Xue Zhangming, who had been watching the entire process through the camera screen, narrowed his eyes. He stared at the young man who had laid back down on the bed and crossed his legs, muttering to himself:

"Chen Che... I've remembered you. To be so young and gain the appreciation of Ma Youxiang, and to force the Huang Family to this point, you can be considered the first."

"However, is gaining the Ma Family and offending the Huang Family a blessing or a curse?"

"Regardless, it is still youthful recklessness. If it weren't for the fact that Beijing is currently focused on Jinling, you would really have to spend your whole life here with me."

"But, although you have some dumb luck, your scheming and courage are indeed rare. If you hadn't formed a feud with the Huang Family, I would have been very happy to invite you to join the Justice Inspection Bureau."

………

Gu Zongzhao's small courtyard.

Gu Zongzhao stood by the pond with a hunched back, tossing fish feed into the water, quietly watching the scene of the fish leaping above the surface.

"That's about how it is."

Jiang Lan recounted the progress of the matter and quietly waited for Gu Zongzhao's reaction.

Gu Zongzhao stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze shifting from the pond to the horizon, and let out a sigh: "Unexpectedly, he was actually able to force Huang Shili and Ma Youxiang to go and apologize in person; this really exceeded my expectations."

"Yes, she is always able to be unexpected."

Jiang Lan's tone was light, and she was clearly very happy.

"You are right."

Gu Zongzhao turned to look at Jiang Lan and said: "The online video can prove that his previous visit to the Huang Family Villa and his intentional arrest by the Justice Inspection Bureau were all premeditated. It's just unclear when he started thinking about it, and when he started planning."

"Even you, Grandpa Gu, can't guess his thoughts? Then this Chen Che is truly divine! It's a good thing he doesn't hold grudges, otherwise I'd be in trouble!"

Jiang Kui said with lingering fear.

Gu Zongzhao laughed: "Your sister calls me godfather, and you call me grandpa; you have no sense of propriety!"

Jiang Kui bared his white teeth and laughed: "My sister acknowledging you as godfather is following my brother-in-law, and it's mainly for outsiders to see. I'm only twenty, so calling you grandpa sounds more intimate."

"You brat!"

Gu Zongzhao's smile was warm. He looked at the thoughtful Jiang Lan and said: "I had someone look into it, and besides the online video, Chen Che had another trump card to win this time. The specific content is unclear, but it seems to involve scandals of the Huang Family and the Ma Family."

"Scandals? How would Chen Che know?"

Jiang Lan frowned and asked.

Gu Zongzhao shook his head and said: "I don't know about that, after all, this kid is always full of surprises."

"Then it seems my test has yielded a satisfactory result."

Jiang Lan beamed with joy, her expression lost in thought.

In this conflict, what she cared about most was how Chen Che would handle the Ma Family.

Chen Che had a friendship with Ma Zijun; how he treated the Ma Family was Jiang Lan's final test for Chen Che.

Not to mention what that scandal was, once exposed, the impact on a powerful family like the Ma Family would be profound.

Those in the Ma Family serving in the government would be implicated and finished directly.

But Chen Che did not do that; not only did he preserve the Ma Family's reputation and the members' official careers, but in a sense, he also showed mercy to the Huang Family.

"But I heard from Jiu Shu that Huang Shili was very angry when he left the Justice Inspection Bureau. Since Chen Che didn't publish the scandal, doesn't that mean he is willing to let the Huang Family off?"

Jiang Kui frowned in thought, his thinking very jumpy. "But looking at Huang Shili's appearance, it doesn't look like he let the Huang Family off. And since Chen Che was bullied so much by the Huang Family before, and now he still doesn't expose the scandal to save face for the Huang Family, isn't that being a bit soft-hearted?"

Gu Zongzhao laughed: "Chen Che did not let the Huang Family off. Although the scandal wasn't exposed, in a sense, it was showing mercy to the Huang Family, but the scandal also involved the Ma Family; he did this for the sake of his friendship with the Ma Family."

"And that video online is not just for show; that thing is enough to make the Huang Family suffer a heavy blow."

"Cunning and treacherous, superior in martial arts, decisive in killing, valuing friendship and loyalty—this is the version of myself I dream of! Sigh, why did I go and provoke him in the first place? Is it too late to go and be friends with him now?"

Jiang Kui furrowed his brows, muttering to himself incessantly.

Gu Zongzhao and Jiang Lan looked at each other and smiled, shaking their heads helplessly.

"Ah!"

Jiang Kui suddenly let out a loud cry.

Jiang Lan put on a straight face and scolded: "What are you doing?! Jumping out of your skin!"

Jiang Kui said with an anxious look: "Sister, Chen Che won against the Huang Family, doesn't that mean he also won your bet? Does the Scorpion Society really have to listen to him from now on?"

Jiang Lan curled her lips into a smile and did not answer.

This incident had already proven that Chen Che valued friendship; such a person was worth entrusting.

Even if the Scorpion Society were handed over to him, the future life of Jiang Lan's family of three would be guaranteed, and there would be no need to worry about being liquidated.

"Remember to bring him to see me; I can't wait to meet this young man."

Gu Zongzhao said to Jiang Lan with a face full of excitement.

Jiang Lan nodded with a smile: "Good."

"Each generation brings forth new talents; such scenery is the most magnificent sight in the world!"

Gu Zongzhao walked away with a leisurely stride, his voice melodious and clear.

………

Bai Xiangjin also learned of the result.

At this moment, Bai Xiangjin sat on the sofa with a gloomy expression; the room was covered in debris from things being smashed, a complete mess.

He had been very happy when he originally learned that Chen Che had been taken into the Justice Inspection Bureau, thinking that Chen Che was done for.

As a result, in just one night, things took a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn—the Huang Family suffered an earthquake, and Chen Che was about to walk out of the Justice Inspection Bureau's gates safe and sound.

For him, this was undoubtedly a painful, heavy blow!

"Sir, take care of your health. This time it was just Chen Che's good luck; next time he won't have such good luck."

Wen Meng stood to the side, guarding him quietly.

"Bullshit!"

Bai Xiangjin was furious and shrieked hysterically: "Good luck? Good luck once, and good luck twice? That is the Huang Family, the Jinling Huang Family! Do you think he was able to clean up the Huang Family just by good luck!?"

Bai Xiangjin lowered his head, spread his hands, and stared at the cold sweat on his palms and their involuntary trembling; he did not want to admit it, yet he had to.

He was afraid!

Afraid from the bottom of his heart!

A person who could clean up a powerful family in Jinling—he had to be wary of this ability, he had to be afraid!

No matter how Chen Che did it, it indicated a cruel fact to him—Bai Xiangjin was no match for Chen Che!

"I am actually... afraid? Afraid of the enemy who killed my son?!"

Bai Xiangjin gave a bitter smile, clenched his fists tightly, and roared powerlessly: "Why doesn't Chen Che just die?! How can there be someone like him in this world?!"

Wen Meng stood to the side, not daring to answer.

Words of comfort seemed hollow at this moment, because he also realized that Chen Che could not be provoked!

And as for the revenge for Bai Fengye, it was likely impossible to achieve.
