Treasure Hunt

"It's you! Come in!"

Chen Mo opened the door and saw Zhang Hongda's family, carrying gifts and looking rather reserved.

"yes!"

Zhang Hongda's family dared not say anything and followed Chen Mo into the house.

Chen Mo had no intention of befriending this family. When he arrived in the living room, Chen Mingyuan and Lin Fang were already waiting for him.

Chen Mo didn't invite them to sit down, but instead spoke calmly:

"Let's begin! Apologize and then leave."

Seeing Chen Mo's indifferent attitude, Zhang Hongda's family felt somewhat uncomfortable, but dared not complain.

Now, Chen Mo's family is no longer someone ordinary people like them can aspire to.

Given the awkward situation, the Zhang family didn't want to linger. Zhang Hua, as the head of the family, spoke first:

"Brother Chen, Sister-in-law Chen, we've come to apologize to you. Last night, we were wrong; we said some things we shouldn't have, which humiliated you."

"Here, we sincerely apologize to you."

As he spoke, he turned his head and gave Zhang Hongda and the others a wink, and they immediately understood.

The whole family, as if they had rehearsed it, bowed and apologized to Chen Mingyuan and his wife in unison.

"We're sorry, we know we were wrong! Please forgive us, and we promise we will never do it again! This is our apology."

After speaking, the Zhang family members bent over, held the gifts above their heads with both hands, and waited for Chen Mingyuan and Lin Fang's reply.

Chen Mo watched from the sidelines. Based on his mental perception, the five people's apology seemed sincere. If they still harbored resentment, he wouldn't mind finding an opportunity to eliminate them.

Lin Fang's anger had largely dissipated when her son beat Zhang Hongda in the morning, and seeing the family bow and apologize, her anger vanished.

But she didn't know what her husband was thinking, so she left the decision to him.

Chen Mingyuan glanced at his son and wife, and from their expressions, he knew that the decision was up to him.

This was indeed a disgrace for him, but his son helped him regain his dignity.

Getting this family to apologize was a relief.

He's not a petty person; since they apologized, there's really nothing he can do to them.

"Alright, we accept the apology, but you can take the gifts back! Xiao Mo has already received 100,000 yuan in compensation from you, so let's just let this matter rest."

"But I don't want to hear any more rumors about our family."

"Yes, yes, yes! We will definitely not say it again. We will issue a statement of apology in the owners' group later."

Zhang Hua said ingratiatingly, "You must accept this gift; it's our family's way of apologizing."

He was afraid that if he didn't accept the gift, Chen Mo would hold a grudge, and they wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.

Chen Mo noticed their concerns, so he nodded and spoke:

"Alright, put the gifts down and go home! We won't pursue this further. But if you do it again, things won't be so simple!"

As he spoke, Chen Mo secretly released a trace of pressure on the five people, as a warning to them.

"Yes, yes, yes! We will absolutely not make the same mistake again!"

Feeling the suffocating pressure, Zhang Hua dared not have any thought of resistance and quickly made a promise.

Let's go!

"yes!"

The Zhang family hurriedly left the Chen family's house. Only after they reached the stairwell did they come to their senses.

"That scared me to death!"

All five of them were terrified and broke out in a cold sweat, then breathed a sigh of relief.

"You all felt the pressure, didn't you? Remember, never provoke Chen Mo's family! That's a warning."

Zhang Hua almost thought he was going to die; his heart was pounding in his chest.

"knew!"

The Zhang family dared not say more and hurriedly went home.

Let's talk about Chen Mo's family.

After the Zhang family left, Chen Mo and the others didn't even look at the gifts; instead, they went to eat.

The delicious food left Chen Mo's family full; everyone except Chen Mo ate until their bellies were round and full.

After helping to clear the dishes, the family went to the living room to watch TV.

Chen Mo and Chen Wan'er unpacked the gifts brought by the Zhang family; inside were some fruit and money.

Chen Mo casually handed it to Lin Fang:

"Mom, here's 100,000 yuan. Keep it and use it to improve your life."

"Son, this is another 100,000 yuan, isn't that a bit too much!"

Lin Fang was a little worried that the Zhang family might hold a grudge after she accepted 200,000 yuan from them all at once.

It's important to understand that they only said some insulting words; they didn't actually lay a hand on anyone.

"They gave it to us voluntarily; if we didn't accept it, they would feel uneasy. Besides, their words were very hurtful to us. If I hadn't gained the principal's trust, what do you think would have happened to my family?"

"Yes! Fangfang, don't worry, keep it! This will teach them a lesson! If it were someone else, they might be in even worse shape."

Chen Mingyuan chimed in from the side.

"All right!"

Lin Fang took the money and started counting it. After confirming that it was 100,000 yuan, she took out another 80,000 yuan and handed it to Chen Mo.

"Xiao Mo, your cultivation costs money. Use this money to buy pills to improve your strength."

"No need, I have money, and I don't need to worry about cultivation resources. The school provides rewards. After I see the principal tomorrow, I'll receive at least several hundred thousand, if not a million. You can keep this money."

"Okay!" Knowing her son's abilities, Lin Fang knew that he wasn't lying.

One hundred thousand would be just enough to make life a little better, so she didn't refuse and took the money to her bedroom to put it away.

Time passed unnoticed, and Chen Wan'er still slept with Chen Mo. In the middle of the night, Chen Mo quietly got up, put on black clothes, a hood and other equipment, avoided the surveillance, and left the Garden Community to search for treasure.

He has spiritual perception; he can see everything at night just like during the day.

Since the upgrade of mental perception and the qualitative change in mental power, the consumption of mental perception has been greatly reduced, and one point of mental power can last for one minute.

In other words, mental perception can be activated for up to 20 hours.

Chu Liang and his two companions did not reside in the city center, but in a relatively remote area.

It's not far from the Garden Community, otherwise he wouldn't have come here at night to search for treasure.

At the time, Chu Liang told me that there were martial arts techniques and skills for martial artists, and these things were extremely valuable. A low-grade Yellow Rank technique would cost one million.

Fortunately, it was a remote area with little surveillance. He used his mental perception to avoid being monitored and avoided people along the way, successfully reaching his destination.

This place is even more desolate than his neighborhood; it's the middle of the night and there isn't a single light on.

As the objects within a 124-meter radius came to mind, Chen Mo realized that this was actually a no-man's-land.

This was even better; he successfully arrived at the hiding place Chu Liang had mentioned.

After some searching, Chen Mo found three useful items: a storage device, a map, and a silver ring.

The storage device should be the martial arts technique or cultivation method that Chu Liang mentioned, while the map is a distribution map of ferocious beasts outside the city.

This white ring, however, gave Chen Mo a huge surprise.
