Chapter 501: Want a big bun?

Yuan Gangxian didn't think much of it, still assuming it was the family sending someone to help with Yuan Chief's matchmaking affair.

Although he verbally agreed, he was unwilling in his heart.

Damn it, damn it.

Could it be that I'm not your son?

Once the matter concerns the Chief, he becomes so attentive.

Yuan Gangxian complained in his heart, but his body honestly walked toward the meeting room.

The secretary stepped forward and pushed open the door, then Yuan Gangxian walked in.

Looking at the seated Chen Yongren, who had changed his appearance, Yuan Gangxian's face showed a hint of doubt.

The person sitting in the meeting room, he had never seen at home.

"Who are you? I've never seen you before."

Yuan Gangxian's heart tightened, instinctively sensing something was off.

Suddenly, a strange thought popped into his mind.

Could it be that he didn't come for Yuan Chief's marriage?

Really, for his younger brother's marriage, the family would at least arrange an acquaintance to meet him; how could they send only a stranger?

While Yuan Gangxian observed Chen Yongren, he was also being observed.

Damn it.

At a glance, he saw that this bastard was about to pin the blame for the lost goods on him, and Chen Yongren got angry then.

You damn bastard, still trying to screw me over at the chance?

Who gave you the guts.

Although I did this, it's clear you first used those trashy goods to lure me in.

Could it be you have no fault at all?

Since you willingly offered yourself, I won't be polite.

First fool this bastard, then think how to screw him over.

Chen Yongren's expression was cold, he didn't answer, his gaze swept over the two people in the room.

Yuan Gangxian immediately understood, and said directly: "You guys go wait outside."

"Hai!"

The two subordinates knew the upcoming words were not for them to hear, they responded, turned and left the meeting room, casually closing the door.

Only after the door closed did Chen Yongren look at Yuan Gangxian: "Are you Young Master Gang Xian?"

"It's me, who exactly are you?" Yuan Gangxian asked again, his heart growing stranger, wondering who this person with a strange identity was.

"I am a covert guard cultivated by the clan chief, specially tasked with carrying out some covert missions; it's normal you haven't seen me." Chen Yongren forced a smile and said in a low voice.

"This time I came, aside from your younger brother's marriage."

"The main matter is you."

Upon seeing Chi Mu Chengping, Chen Yongren knew he and Yuan Gangxian had been talking on the phone, and it was a perfect chance to fool him.

Covert guard?

Yuan Gangxian wasn't surprised; given the Yuan Clan's size, having no hidden force would be the real deception.

Recalling the phone call from Chi Mu Chengping yesterday.

Yuan Gangxian's heart stirred.

Could it be that Father really sent a telegram, and Uncle Chi didn't deceive me?

"It's not him deceiving you; we're deceiving you together," Chen Yongren muttered to himself.

Setting that aside, Chi Mu Chengping this old bastard is truly cunning, secretly causing trouble because he worries Yuan Gangxian's heart is unbalanced.

Wait a moment.

"Me?" Yuan Gangxian sensed something off in Chen Yongren's words: "You're not here for my brother, but for me."

"That's right." Chen Yongren nodded without blushing or his heart racing.

"What do you want from me? And you'd actually deploy you guys?" Yuan Gangxian's words carried some displeasure: "Could it be Father thinks I'd cause trouble at my brother's matchmaking event?"

"Although I don't like him, he is still a member of the family."

Even if I were to play tricks, I wouldn't be so foolish as to mess up matters under my responsibility.

"Young Master Gang Xian, you've misunderstood; the old clan chief greatly trusts your ability, otherwise he wouldn't have entrusted this matter to you." Chen Yongren said calmly.

"I already said it; this time I came, following the old clan chief's order, to bring you some words."

"Some words?" Yuan Gangxian didn't understand.

Chen Yongren said: "The clan chief said, please don't overthink, don't worry, what's yours will always be yours; although far in Jingdu, he still keeps an eye on you."

"Your efforts, he has seen them all, never overlooked."

"Actually, he loves you the most in his heart."

Yuan Gangxian gave a cold snort and said nothing.

The more you say, the more mistakes; for now I still don't know what this covert guard intends to do.

What if this is Father sending him to test my attitude, wanting to clear obstacles for Yuan Chief?

Yuan Chief had just arrived in Jinmen not long ago, yet Father kept sending telegrams and people to relay messages; not thinking carefully won't do, lest we be sold out and still have to count money for the other side.

This guy, he's quite scheming; Chen Yongren said calmly: "The clan chief knows you'd say that, but as the eldest son of the clan, you bear the mission to restore the clan."

"Is it not good for the clan chief to be stricter with you?"

"When you were young, being strict was actually to forge your resilience, making your endurance stronger than others'."

"Young Master Gang Xian, could it be you haven't noticed."

Actually, from childhood you've been more sensible and mature than your peers, right?

Yuan Gangxian fell silent.

Upon careful thought, that's indeed true.

While other kids were out playing, I was studying diligently; even if I broke my leg, I could endure without crying.

Initially, when wronged, I would weep bitterly, but after getting used to it, I became too lazy to refute.

"If it weren't to hone your abilities so you could stand on your own in the future, the clan chief would never have sent you to Jinmen." Chen Yongren let out a deep sigh: "Actually, ever since you went to sea, the clan chief has constantly been worried about you."

"It's only to temper your disposition, so I couldn't openly show my concern for you."

"Now, the achievements you've made in Jinmen are all seen by him, and he feels greatly relieved."

"You, you haven't disgraced the family."

"Gang Xian, Young Master, the clan chief actually wants you to be the family's heir."

Yuan Gangxian's expression was odd; he wasn't stupid, and there was both the tempering and the expectation to stand alone.

Isn't this just following the clan chief's pattern to cultivate you?

He originally had some doubts.

Upon hearing Chen Yongren's last words, he immediately confirmed his inner thought.

What?

Father's previous treatment of me was actually to make me inherit the clan chief's position?

Although he had prepared himself mentally, upon truly hearing these words spoken from a dark guard's mouth, Yuan Gangxian still felt as if struck by lightning, only sensing his head buzzing.

After a long while he recovered, looking at Chen Yongren with a strange expression, he extended a hand, pointed a finger at himself, and said incredulously.

"I, the heir of the Yuan Clan?"

"You mean, my father wants me to become the clan chief?"

"I am the future Yuan Clan chief?"

"No need to repeat too many times; you didn't mishear, and I didn't misspeak." Chen Yongren nodded: "Do you think anyone would be so bored as to come to Jinmen just to trick you?"

"What good would that bring?"

Hearing Chen Yongren's affirmative tone, Yuan Gangxian fell silent, sizing him up from head to toe, as if trying to spot some flaw.

Chen Yongren's expression remained unchanged, letting Yuan Gangxian scrutinize him.
