The small cabin on the mountainside was dim and silent.
It was like a shrine on a desolate mountain, housing a deity that no one visited, indifferent to the presence of smoke from incense, unconcerned whether the mortal world was at peace.
It stood there, yet had been almost forgotten by people over the past decade or so.
But starting from tonight, perhaps many people would once again rember what kind of role the old man sitting here played.
Being able to erge victorious in the Shadow struggle and defeat all Shadows to reach this position, indeed, this person was the fiercest presence in this world.
In Qing Chen’s eyes, this Family Head should be a cunning, calculating person who valued the interests of the family above life itself.
He considered the Family Head as the "Emperor" of storybooks, and emperors were always rciless.
At one point, he even suspected that it was the Family Head who, to make his son willingly beco a Shadow, had killed Ning Xiu.
But now Qing Chen no longer thought so, solely because what the Qing Clan House Master did was all in preparation to avenge Qing Zhun.
This old man, to avenge his beloved eldest son, was willing to drag the entire Qing’s Family into the abyss!
This did not resemble the decision of a family leader, but rather like a simple and diligent peasant father, who wanted to splash blood for his son within five steps.
Qing Chen felt a bit uneasy, for he originally thought that when the only family he had left in this world was the Family Head, the so-called familial love had already died in na.
But what he didn’t expect was, in reality, it was not so.
Qing Chen turned his head to look at Qing Ji, only to see the other person in the dim light seemingly smiling, as if having anticipated this reaction from Qing Chen.
"Don’t you care about the interests of Qing’s Family?" Qing Chen asked.
"You think I’m too reckless and want to destroy Qing’s Family? No," the Family Head said slowly, "This gigantic entity has been decaying over a thousand years, and even dynasties in history haven’t stood tall for a millennium, how can a family stand for a millennium without incident? Past people lay on the book of rits, newcors find it hard to erge, everyone guards their little plot of land while harboring delusions, such a Qing’s Family is not worth having."
The Qing Clan House Master recalled, "What was the Qing’s Family of the past like? Our ancestor Qing Zhen believed that the family was already decaying at that ti, so he climbed up Ginkgo Mountain, overthrew the Qing’s Family of the ti. In the decisive battle with the artificial intelligence ’Zero’, everyone died with the belief of ’success doesn’t need to happen within my lifeti’, just to fight for a future for the living. Qing’s Family should be synonymous with courage and bloodthirstiness, we’ve never lacked the courage to start anew. This is Qing’s Family, truly admirable."
The Family Head continued, "Xiao Zhun first gave the Spy Bureau to you, and the Shadow Troop as well, tonight I’m giving Qing’s Family frontline troops to you too, all project companies are given to you, wherever you are, Qing’s Family will be there too."
Qing Chen listened quietly, only feeling that the preparations from the other side were... truly thorough.
This father was afraid that he had no experience, even leaving nine experience packs for managent fields, directly training a novice like him into a max-level big account.
The other party almost worried himself to death for this day.
However, Qing Chen’s expression did not change much, he calmly asked, "And then? What else do you have planned?"
The Family Head said calmly, "It depends on whether tonight’s plan is successful, you don’t have to worry about being held back here, I have chosen Qing Yu for the frontline for you, he is an isolated minister, does not form parties or engage in favoritism, has no wings, wholeheartedly only for the benefit of the family. If one day you’re not satisfied with him, just remove him, he has no ability to resist. Tonight he will be capturing so people overnight, including the commander of the infantry division, the commander of the air force, the commander of the Rocket Army, the brigade commander of the Information Troops, once you plunder their mories, you’ll naturally have full knowledge of the military, Qing Yu can’t deceive you."
"In the rear you have Qing Kun, though his temper is irascible, he’s a great hand at managing internal affairs, a genius in comrce," said the Family Head, "You just need to promise him Qing Yi’s future, he will not turn against you, nor does he have the heart to. You want to be a Knight then be one, no one will bind you. By the way, that Ke Rouli is quite good to have as your secretary, cultivate so affection, she’ll be the most suitable person to assist you by your side."
Qing Chen asked, "So you’ve arranged everything, yet have never asked if I want any of this? Have you ever asked what plans I have?"
"What, you don’t want it?" Qing Clan House Master’s tone wasn’t surprised, as if having anticipated it: "Having spent too long in the Outer World, becoming sowhat soft-hearted, I understand. But since you’ve returned, you naturally need to learn to coexist with this world, it’s fiercer than you imagine."
At this, Qing Chen suddenly shook his head, "You’ve arranged everything, if I were to refuse at this ti, wouldn’t it seem a bit too pretentious? This vast Qing’s Family, others would yearn for it, what reason do I have to decline? To beco the high-up head of a consortium family, it’s a good thing!"
"Hmm?"
This ti, it was the Qing Clan House Master’s turn to be puzzled, this was different from what he had envisioned.
He allowed City No. 10 to fall into hardship and sat by, precisely to give Qing Chen a reason to return to the family.
After all he had done, his greatest worry was that Qing Chen would be unwilling to return to take over all this.
However, Qing Chen was not that pretentious, instead, he readily accepted.
