Chapter 9: Cheng Kexin's Request

"Senior Sister, what did you want to tell me?"

"I wanted to ask you, what are your plans for the future?"

"Naturally, it is to continue seeking revenge. I will find out exactly who killed my father and who hunted me down; I won't let a single one of them go," Chen Che said with a resolute expression.

Cheng Kexin asked, "Do you really believe what that woman said?"

"Under those circumstances, she wouldn't lie. Besides, now that I think back on the people who hunted me down back then, there were indeed some suspicious aspects," Chen Che pondered.

"Then do you have any leads?"

"Not yet. However, I plan to first find my father's old brother, Uncle Fu Lang. He helped me back then and even held a position in the company; he should know something."

Cheng Kexin nodded: "Then where is he now?"

Chen Che shook his head: "When my father met with trouble back then, that bitch Yang Wanqing kicked everyone who supported my father out of the game. It caused Uncle Fu to fall into debt, and I don't know where he is now."

"It doesn't matter. Leave this matter to Senior Sister; I will help you investigate," Cheng Kexin smiled. "However, in return, how about you do Senior Sister a favor as well?"

"Of course you can. Just give the order, Senior Sister; we are family, after all," Chen Che agreed immediately.

Cheng Kexin narrowed her beautiful eyes, lecherously looking Chen Che up and down.

Chen Che was stunned and subconsciously hugged himself: "Senior Sister, this is a bit inappropriate, isn't it..."

Pfft!

Cheng Kexin gave a triumphant smile: "What are you thinking? I want you to come to the Cheng Family to be a bodyguard for a few days."

Chen Che let out a sigh of relief: "Protecting whom?"

Cheng Kexin patted Cheng Kexiang beside her and said sternly: "It's fortunate that A Xiang met you; otherwise, I wouldn't have known she wasn't sick, but poisoned."

"I want you to come and be her bodyguard, and also investigate who the person who poisoned her is," Cheng Kexin looked at Chen Che with anticipation. "This shouldn't be difficult for you, Junior Brother, right? Master praised you to the heavens in the letter she sent us."

Cheng Kexiang also gazed at Chen Che with anticipation; being protected by such a handsome man every day, wouldn't a young girl's heart be overflowing!

Chen Che nodded: "No problem."

"Good, then it's settled."

Cheng Kexin suddenly remembered something and asked: "By the way, Junior Brother. Master also said in the letter that your poison hasn't healed yet?"

"Yes, what I was poisoned with is the Great Red Sun Poison. Aside from the antidote, it simply cannot be cured."

"Damn it! Just what kind of person is so vicious to actually use such poison on you when you were only ten-something years old!" Cheng Kexin was furious and at the same time felt very heartbroken that Chen Che had lived with the deadly poison for ten years.

Cheng Kexin suddenly blushed and said: "Junior Brother, if your poison flares up, you can come find me. I can't bear to see you in such pain; if I can help you alleviate it a little, I would also be very happy."

"Ah..."

The heart that had been hanging was finally dead; Master really had told the senior sisters about the poison flare-ups.

Chen Che felt a bit awkward, scratched his head, and changed the subject: "By the way, Senior Sister, do you know where the other senior sisters and Master's wife are?"

"Hmph, you want to ask about your Third Senior Sister, right?" Cheng Kexin put on a heartbroken look. "Sure enough, Third Senior Sister treated your injuries when you were young, and she is the only senior sister you have ever met, so of course you are close to her. I, your Sixth Senior Sister, just helped you with such a big favor, yet you don't even know how to cherish me."

"That's not true, Sixth Senior Sister is also the best to me!" Chen Che said quickly.

Cheng Kexin's brows relaxed: "That's more like it!"

Chen Che let out a sigh of relief, feeling that dealing with senior sisters was more tiring than cultivating on the mountain.

Women are indeed the most troublesome; one senior sister is already this hard to deal with, so what if all six senior sisters were gathered together?

Chen Che shuddered, and for some reason, an image of being eaten by six stunningly beautiful senior sisters appeared in his mind.

"Your Third Senior Sister should be arriving in Shanghai in these two days. A Xiang's illness hadn't been getting better, so I had originally arranged for her to come and treat A Xiang; she is a Divine Doctor, after all."

Cheng Kexin spread her hands: "As for the others, I don't know where they are now either. Aside from your Third Senior Sister, I haven't been in contact with the others for a long time."

Chen Che nodded: "Good, I understand. Also, please help me keep my return to Shanghai a secret, Senior Sister, so as not to alert the enemy."

"No problem."

The three of them chatted for a while longer before parting ways.

Cheng Kexin arranged for Chen Che to stay in a hotel for the night, and the next day she personally picked him up to head to the Cheng Family.

After arriving at the Cheng Family, Cheng Kexin saw Chen Che's tattered long robe and long hair, and only then did she remember that they had chatted too happily last night and she had forgotten to tidy Chen Che up.

Now that they had arrived at the front door, it was already too late.

Just as Cheng Kexin was getting a headache, Cheng Kexiang trotted out. Seeing Chen Che, she was also stunned and whispered to her sister Cheng Kexin: "Sister, even if he's handsome, he can't be dressed like this. If Mom and Dad see him, they definitely won't agree."

Cheng Kexin regretted her carelessness and said: "Let's go in first. We're looking for a bodyguard, not a son-in-law. Just let Chen Che show off his skills in a moment."

"But..." Cheng Kexiang looked helpless, "Cousin is here too. And he also brought a few people, saying they are to be my bodyguards."

Cheng Kexin's brows furrowed tightly. She turned and said to Chen Che: "A Xiang's previous bodyguard was locked up by the Patrol Department. In order not to expose your whereabouts, I didn't say that A Xiang's illness was cured by you."

"Junior Brother, it was my lack of consideration today. You might have to suffer a little grievance later," Cheng Kexin said apologetically.

Chen Che frowned and asked: "Did something happen?"

"My cousin Cheng Song, he is my uncle's son. My grandfather has two sons, my father and my uncle. He also brought people to be A Xiang's bodyguards, and they are inside right now."

Cheng Kexin said: "My grandfather is old, and my uncle's family has always been eyeing the family property, targeting us in secret several times. Cheng Song has done even more underhanded things to me and A Xiang."

When Cheng Song was young, he pushed me and A Xiang into the water more than once, and several times he teamed up with his sister to leave A Xiang alone in the mountains when we were out playing.

Later, as he grew older, he learned to restrain his edge and began to strike from the shadows!

Not only did he find people to cause trouble in the businesses managed by our family several times, but he also sent people to go undercover, alter the accounts, and then report us.

If it weren't for my father's strong vigilance, who knows how many lawsuits we would have faced.

The reason I asked you to help investigate A Xiang's poisoning is that I suspect Cheng Song. It would be best if I could find evidence against him, so that I can expose him in front of Grandfather and send him in for good!"

"Because it's family, it's inconvenient for you to investigate openly. And your cousin's purpose in coming today is definitely to take the opportunity to plant his own people by Cheng Kexiang's side and then find a chance to strike. Moreover, because of your relationship, your father can't easily refuse, but now that I'm here, you also have a reason to refuse."

Chen Che looked at himself and continued: "However, with my attire today, your parents will most likely think I'm a fraud and will give me a hard time."

"This is my negligence; I should have had it prepared for you right away!"

Cheng Kexin said with a face full of apology.

Chen Che smiled dismissively: "Senior Sister, don't worry. I will prove myself with my strength and will never lose face for you. No matter what kind of conspiracy your cousin has, I won't let him succeed."

Cheng Kexin did not expect Chen Che to be so understanding, and her heart warmed, putting her at ease.

Cheng Kexiang, on the other hand, was captivated by Chen Che's words.

Not only is he handsome, but he is also so loyal and righteous; he is truly the perfect candidate for a boyfriend!

The three of them walked into the main gate of the Cheng Family.

Walking in front, Cheng Kexiang leaned into her sister Cheng Kexin's ear and whispered, "Sister, can we not say that Chen Che is the Bodyguard you found for me in a moment?"

"Huh? What do you want to say?" Cheng Kexin asked suspiciously.

Cheng Kexiang's face turned red, and she stole a glance at Chen Che before saying, "Just say he is my boyfriend."

Cheng Kexin teased with a mischievous smile, "Little girl, you've grown bold! You even dare to take the initiative to find a man. But how long have you known my junior brother? Although he is handsome and capable, you are a girl after all, be a little more reserved!"

"Besides, he is my junior brother. I haven't even had a taste yet, so how could it be your turn, you little brat?" Cheng Kexin teased Cheng Kexiang on purpose.

Cheng Kexiang took it for real, looking dejected, and muttered, "Stingy! He is your junior brother, but I am your sister! Besides, you already have a marriage engagement, yet you still fight with me!"

Cheng Kexin's expression darkened.

Cheng Kexiang realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly shut her mouth.

While they were talking, the three of them had already arrived at the living room of the Cheng Family villa.
