Chapter 7659
Ancestral Treasure
Xiao Chen stopped mid-sentence and suddenly smiled, "I think you should handle your Chen family's affairs yourselves. I've never had any dealings with you anyway."
"Besides, we have a history of feuds. I'm already being quite lenient by not pursuing your responsibilities. How dare you push your luck and ask me for your help?"
"Tell me, isn't this a bit too much?"
Chen Xue lowered her head, trembling all over, but Xiao Chen's words made a lot of sense, so she couldn't blame him.
Looking at this woman, Xiao Chen couldn't help but praise her; she was indeed beautiful and had an extremely hot figure.
But compared to Yun Yuyan and Zhou Keying, she is still quite a bit inferior.
Of course, the most important question is: what's the use of being good-looking?
Xiao Chen had seen countless women, including many beautiful ones, and he felt it wasn't worth taking the risk for a stranger.
Moreover, he has more important things to do and doesn't need to waste time.
Chen Jianguo was getting anxious.
He saw Xiao Chen as the Chen family's lifeline, and now that he had grasped him, how could he possibly give him up so easily?
Xiao Chen's rejection did not make him give up; on the contrary, it strengthened his resolve.
He bowed deeply and spoke very sincerely: "Mr. Xiao, you don't need to go to so much trouble. Just give us a few pointers on how to dispel that evil energy."
"I, Chen Jianguo, rarely ask for favors in my life, but this time, for the sake of dozens of members of the Chen family, I sincerely beg you!"
“My damned son deserves to die, but the rest of the Chen family are innocent.”
Xiao Chen just watched indifferently. Admittedly, Chen Jianguo's sincerity was good, but he was not someone who was easily moved.
What does the life or death of the Chen family have to do with him?
Wasn't it the Chen family who brought this upon themselves?
He claimed to have accumulated good deeds and virtues throughout his life, but the son he raised has caused a lot of trouble outside. Although he has never killed anyone, he has inexplicably crippled several people. This can be considered retribution.
Seeing that Xiao Chen refused to agree and showed no intention of agreeing at all, Chen Jianguo gritted his teeth and actually knelt down on the ground.
In his entire life, he only knelt before his parents and the deceased elders.
Unexpectedly, today, for the sake of the lives of dozens of members of the Chen family, he actually chose to kneel down to Xiao Chen. This was the only way out; he really didn't want to see the Chen family destroyed.
At this moment, Chen Xue, who was standing to the side, did not hesitate at all. She followed suit, bent her knees, and knelt down in front of Xiao Chen as well.
Her cold, beautiful face was devoid of any arrogance, only filled with pleading and guilt. Her voice was low and urgent: "Mr. Xiao, I offended you just now. I was blind to your greatness. Please don't take it to heart."
The lives of dozens of members of my Chen family are entirely in your hands. I beg you to have mercy and lend a helping hand to save my Chen family!
After saying that, she abruptly turned her head, glaring at Chen Shaocong, who was still standing there stunned and bewildered. Enraged, she raised her hand and slapped him hard across the face. The sound of the slap was particularly jarring in the quiet courtyard. She shouted sharply, "Chen Shaocong!"
What are you still standing there for?
You caused all of this!
You brought that evil thing into our home, dragging the whole family down with you and offending Mr. Xiao, the only one who could save us. Do you want to kill us all?
"Hurry up and kowtow to Mr. Xiao to admit your mistake!"
Chen Shaocong was stunned by the slap. He covered his face, his mind blank, and it took him a long time to react.
He never expected that the Chen family's recent misfortunes and business failures, coupled with his own frequent bleeding and nightmares, all stemmed from the "Dragon Tooth" pendant he had bought for over a million yuan.
Now he has committed a terrible crime, pushing the entire Chen family to the brink of utter ruin.
He had also offended Mr. Xiao, the only person who could resolve the matter. He was truly afraid, afraid that he would be skinned alive by his elders when he returned home, and even more afraid that the Chen family would be destroyed.
So he quickly knelt down on the ground, trembling, his head bowed low, his hands supporting him on the ground, and kept kowtowing to Xiao Chen. His forehead hit the cement ground heavily with a "thump-thump" sound, and soon turned red.
He kept muttering to himself, his voice trembling with sobs and endless regret: "Sir, I was wrong!"
I was really wrong!
I was blind to your greatness, I didn't know what was important or what was good or bad, I was greedy and got cheated, and I even offended you!
Please forgive me, sir. Please have mercy and save my Chen family. I'll kowtow to you as many times as I want...
After saying that, he banged his head even harder, and blood quickly seeped from his forehead, leaving faint bloodstains on the cement floor. His disheveled and remorseful appearance made the onlookers sigh with pity.
Just then, Chen Jianguo's assistant rushed back, carrying an exquisite sandalwood brocade box. He walked respectfully to Chen Jianguo's side and handed the box over.
Chen Jianguo quickly scrambled to his feet, ignoring the pain in his knees. He carefully took the brocade box with both hands, held it to his chest, and strode to Xiao Chen, his back still bowed low, his tone humble to the point of being servile.
"Mr. Xiao, this is a jade pendant passed down through our Chen family, our most precious treasure. It's priced at over six million yuan. It's smooth and translucent. Please accept it as a small token of our appreciation. We beg you to lend us your help!"
Xiao Chen glanced at the brocade box indifferently, raised his chin, and gestured for Chen Jianguo to open it.
Chen Jianguo quickly opened the brocade box with both hands. Inside lay a jade pendant that was pure white, smooth and translucent, with a warm, glassy luster. Its texture was delicate and without any impurities, clearly indicating that it was no ordinary item.
Although this jade pendant is not top-grade jade, it contains a trace of pure spiritual energy, making it an excellent cultivation aid for Xiao Chen, who is currently cultivating the "War God Technique".
He didn't actually care about the monetary value of the jade pendant; what he cared about was the spiritual energy it contained.
Yun Yuyan and Zhou Keying, who were watching the commotion from the sidelines, were stunned and could hardly believe it.
They had looked up the Chen family online yesterday and learned that the Chen family had an ancestral jade pendant, which was very famous.
The Chen family has always treasured that toy and rarely shows it to others.
That's a valuable item worth tens of millions.
Now, he actually had his assistant fetch it and presented it to Xiao Chen with both hands, begging him to accept it. This shows how eager he was to curry favor with Xiao Chen and ask him to help him!
Even Yun Yuyan and Zhou Keying, who had been living with Xiao Chen, were filled with doubt: Just who is this Xiao Chen?
At such a young age, she managed to make the head of the Chen family so humble and subservient, even offering him ancestral treasures. Even the eldest daughter and the playboy of the Chen family were willing to kneel and kowtow.
I just can't understand it, I really can't understand it. The more I get to know Xiao Chen, the more I feel that Xiao Chen has incredibly powerful connections. (End of Chapter)
