"Idiot, you are the heir of the Yuan Clan, so of course you must stay sufficiently vigilant about everything!" Chi Mu Chengping said.

"Now you have come to work in the Special Agency again, and you have to…"

He was still speaking.

A telephone ring interrupted the old geezer's words.

You found it out so quickly?

Chi Mu Chengping was startled, returned to the desk and picked up the phone.

"Gang Xian, ah." Chi Mu Chengping was somewhat surprised.

Hearing that name, Chen Yongren flashed a hint of annoyance, waved his hands frantically at the old geezer, indicating to hang up the phone quickly.

At the same time, he also used wind‑ear to eavesdrop on the voice from the other end of the receiver.

Chi Mu Chengping shook his head slightly: "Your information is still quite well‑informed."

"That's right, Chief Director Sir is indeed here with me."

"What, you want to talk to him?"

Hearing that, Chen Yongren simply turned his back.

"He went to the toilet, so he can't take the call for now." Chi Mu Chengping reacted just as quickly.

"You haven't seen your younger brother in a long time; do you want to invite him to dinner at your place?" Chi Mu Chengping said.

Hearing that, Chen Yongren directly waved his hand, wanting Chi Mu Chengping to refuse.

The two brothers never got along; although Chen Yongren really wanted to go, if he nodded in agreement now, it would truly be problematic and would surely arouse Chi Mu Chengping's vigilance.

"No problem, when he comes he even said he wanted to see you guys." Chi Mu Chengping laughed, nodded in agreement: "I'll tell him when he comes back."

Upon hearing that, Chen Yongren quickly walked to the table, pretending to snatch the phone from Chi Mu Chengping's hand, but was slapped away by the old geezer.

"If the Chief knew, he would certainly be happy."

After saying a couple more sentences, Chi Mu Chengping then hung up the phone.

"Uncle, what are you doing, why do you agree?" Chen Yongren expressed his dissatisfaction: "He clearly has no good intentions; I really don't want to see him!"

"Chief, you are still too young." Chi Mu Chengping said: "In this regard, you are not as good as your brother."

"On this point, we must definitely meet!"

"Why?" Chen Yongren feigned ignorance.

"Your brother handles the business in Jinmen; don't you want to get involved in business affairs?" Chi Mu Chengping said.

Chen Yongren lowered his head and remained silent.

Chi Mu Chengping said: "In this regard, you are not as good as your brother."

"Although he doesn't like you, knowing you've come to Jinmen, he will still call to invite you to a meal."

"At the very least, on the surface he has done nothing wrong; rather, it is your deliberate refusal that will attract gossip."

"Although your brother knows that I have the best relationship with you, he also never forgets to stay in touch with me."

"Especially during festivals, he also never forgets to send me greetings."

"It's precisely because he understands that now is not the time to hold a grudge."

"But I have already received the patriarch's token; do I still need to do these things?" Chen Yongren argued.

"That's why we must endure even more; even if we dislike someone intensely, we cannot fully show it, we must let him think he still has a chance to inherit the patriarch's position." Chi Mu Chengping said sternly.

"Then, when he is off guard, we will deliver a fatal blow!"

"Otherwise, he still has a chance to take back the patriarch's position from your hands."

"Uncle's teachings are understood, Chief." Upon hearing that, Chen Yongren's face showed panic: "The token has been given to me; can it be taken back again?"

Seeing Chen Yongren's expression, Chi Mu Chengping was very satisfied inside, and said earnestly: "Even if you really become the patriarch."

"If you cannot satisfy the clansmen and bring benefits to the family, some elders also have the right to impeach you!"

"Yuan Gangxian will definitely not miss this opportunity either."

"No way?" Chen Yongren said.

"Do you know why your father sent you to me, and why he gave you your waist tablet?" Chi Mu Chengping countered without answering.

Chen Yongren deliberately shook his head, but inside he was very clear.

If Yuan Chief can grow quickly, smoothly inheriting the patriarch's position would not be a problem.

If Yuan Gangxian is unwilling and tries to seize the patriarch's position by force, Yuan Chief himself holds a military post, and under Chi Mu Chengping's protection, he could also retreat unharmed, not losing his life.

Chi Mu Chengping patted Chen Yongren's shoulder and said: "Because your father knows that with your current strength, you are still not sufficient to assume the patriarch's position."

"Furthermore, your father worries that you truly cannot compete with your brother, and he would strike you down lethally."

"But now that you have a military post, even if Yuan Gangxian were bolder, he would not dare to kill inside the agency."

"Chief, by all means do not disappoint your father."

"Yes, uncle, I understand!" Chen Yongren bowed slightly.

"Rest assured, I will accompany you tonight." Chi Mu Chengping said; "Remember, you must definitely learn to conceal your emotions!"

"No matter what, you are still blood brothers; surface harmony must be maintained."

"Now is not the time to break face."

"Yes, uncle, I understand!" Chen Yongren bowed.

A knocking sound came from outside the door.

"Chief Sauce, the pastries are ready, okay."

Lin Ke Xin's voice sounded simultaneously.

"Mei Sha Zi has returned!" Chen Yongren was very excited and quickly opened the door.

Seeing this, Chi Mu Chengping frowned slightly.

Hope Chief Director Sir can grow up quickly.

Lin Ke Xin held a tray with some tempura, miso soup, sushi, etc.

"Meishazi, you've worked hard." Chen Yongren, eyes full of affection, said: "Uncle, come try Meishazi's cooking; I guarantee you won't forget it after one bite."

Yuan Chief's earnest invitation, Chi Mu Chengping could not refuse, and he sat by the tea table.

Lin Ke Xin squatted beside the tea table, distributing the food: "Uncle, if Meishazi has any shortcomings in her cooking, please be tolerant."

Chi Mu Chengping nodded, but his gaze kept fixed on Lin Ke Xin's hand.

Fair and delicate, not like someone who often handles guns.

Chi Mu Chengping picked up a piece of sushi, his eyes lit up, and he nodded in praise: "The taste is indeed good."

"Ah, really?" Lin Ke Xin feigned surprise: "If I had known, I would have prepared more."

"Uncle, I've said before, Meishazi's cooking is excellent." Chen Yongren said proudly.

Nonsense, this is my little disciple I brought out; how could her skills be bad?

Chi Mu Chengping had been busy all half day, hadn't eaten much, was attracted by the food before him, and couldn't help eating a few more bites.

"Uncle, if you like it, I can go make more." Lin Ke Xin was about to get up.

But Chen Yongren pressed her down: "Uncle, can I bring Meishazi along tonight?"

"I want my brother to meet Meishazi too."

Upon hearing that, Chi Mu Chengping thought for a moment, then nodded: "No problem, since we're all family, meeting is fine."

"Chief Director Jiang, where are you going tonight?" Lin Ke Xin asked.

"I'll take you to meet my brother, Meishazi—you must dress up beautifully, don't embarrass me!" Chen Yongren said.

"Really? That's great, I'll go prepare now!" Lin Ke Xin got up.
