Chen Xuan's expression remained as calm as usual, "Go back and tell the Zhou Patriarch, I'll be there on ti tonight."
"Since you've decided to make a move against , don't hold back. Just call your people; let's settle it all tonight."
Arrogant!
The Zhou steward snorted coldly to himself, a contemptuous sneer forming at the corner of his mouth, "Chen Xuan, I hope you can do more than just talk big!"
"Eight o'clock tonight, at the old swamp! If you have the guts, just co over directly!"
With that, he left with his people.
Chen Xuan did not stop him, allowing the Zhou steward to leave.
Lin Wanxi looked extrely tense, "Chen Xuan, you can't go to the old swamp tonight!"
"The Zhou Family just wants to make a move on you in that place, to destroy you! Surely there's an ambush, waiting for you to fall into the trap."
Chen Xuan smiled, "No need to be so nervous, it's just a petty trick to ."
"Don't take it lightly!" Lin Wanxi's face showed displeasure, "I'm not joking with you, the Zhou Family could easily find soone to deal with you."
"No matter how strong you are, you're just one person, how many can you handle?"
Chen Xuan touched his nose and said, "I can still handle a few hundred people."
Uh...
Lin Wanxi winced, "Chen Xuan, I'm not in the mood to joke with you now!"
"I'm not joking either." Chen Xuan spread his hands; he could indeed fight hundreds without breaking a sweat.
Lin Wanxi kept shaking her head, thinking Chen Xuan wasn't being serious with her.
"Chen Xuan, this ti you must listen to , leave Zhonghai City quickly."
"If you stay here, there's only a dead end! The Zhou Family won't let you go!"
Chen Xuan looked at her, "What about you? If I leave, how can the Zhou Family spare you and your family?"
Lin Wanxi looked miserable and filled with lancholy, "But you're innocent, if it weren't for , you wouldn't have been drawn into this."
"I can't be selfish, thinking only of myself and not caring about your life."
Chen Xuan laughed to himself, finding yet another virtue in Lin Wanxi.
Another endearing quality.
"What are you laughing at?" Lin Wanxi frowned, not seeing anything ambiguous in what she said.
Chen Xuan chuckled, "The problem is I'm now entangled with you, on your pirate ship and even took the vow with you."
"Where else can I go?"
Lin Wanxi showed a fierce expression, "You're the pirate ship!"
Chen Xuan chuckled, "Whose pirate ship is unimportant, you and I are on the sa boat."
"As a man, I can't run away; as a husband, I can't back down."
"So, the issue with the Zhou Family must be resolved by !"
"But Chen Xuan..." Lin Wanxi's expression was complex, "Are you sure you can manage it?"
Chen Xuan stroked his chin, "That's a terrible question. Can a man say he can't handle it?"
Lin Wanxi grinned, but was also filled with curiosity about Chen Xuan.
For an ordinary person, encountering such a situation, not being terrified to the point of feeble legs would be considered fortunate.
No one like Chen Xuan could be so calm and unconcerned.
Is he just pretending to be calm, or does he truly have the confidence to disregard the Zhou Family.
Lin Wanxi couldn't guess the answer, nor could she see through what kind of man Chen Xuan really was.
Zhang Ru snorted, "Chen Xuan, don't just talk boldly and then secretly run away, leaving the ss to us."
"Wanxi, you must keep an eye on Chen Xuan. If he runs away, we can't bear it if the Zhou Family turns on us!"
Lin Wanxi replied irritably, "Mom, what are you saying?"
"If Chen Xuan wanted to run, he could've left last night; why wait until now."
"Alright, don't worry about it."
Chen Xuan didn't respond and couldn't be bothered to deal with this so-called mother-in-law.
...
A little after seven in the evening.
Chen Xuan got up from the table, preparing to head to the old swamp to settle his private grudges with the Zhou Family.
"Chen Xuan, at this point, I don't even know what to say anymore."
Lin Zhiguo looked like he wanted to say sothing but hesitated, "Be extra careful tonight at the old swamp."
"I believe you can turn danger into safety!"
Chen Xuan smiled and nodded, "Father-in-law is right, I'll be back soon."
"Chen Xuan!"
Lin Wanxi called out to him, not knowing what to say for a mont, finally just saying, "Be safe, make sure to co back alive."
Chen Xuan chuckled, "Don't make it sound like a farewell to death, it's not that serious."
"By nine-thirty at the latest, I'll definitely be back."
He waved and drove off.
Lin Wanxi watched the taillights of the car disappear at the end of the road, her heart filled with anxiety.
"Chen Xuan, I still owe you an apology, make sure to co back alive, don't let this apology beco a lifeti regret."
Lin Wanxi murmured to herself, silently praying for Chen Xuan's safe return.
Lin Zhiguo sighed, "Tonight's the ti to see if Chen Xuan is truly formidable."
"I hope I didn't misjudge him, and that Chen Xuan can settle things with the Zhou Family."
Zhang Ru looked at him with disdain, "Him? Settle things with the Zhou Family? Not even in his dreams!"
"If he really dares to go to the old swamp, tomorrow we should be ready to collect his corpse!"
At that mont.
Chen Xuan drove to the old swamp alone.
Zhou Tianlei and Jin Jiu, along with a group of guards, were waiting for Chen Xuan to co to his death.
