Chapter 236 - 236: Only An Unknown Pot Is Left (3)
“Brother Yun, you did a lot of homework before coming. “Xu Bai thought.
The first time Xu Bai met this person called Chen Yan, he felt that he was very simple and did not have many thoughts.
It could even be said that not only was his personality not bad, it was actually very good.
This could be seen from the fact that he still did not forget to take care of those who had helped him after he had obtained a life of luxury.
Of course, this was only what Xu Bai saw on the surface. He couldn’t see much deeper. After all, this was his first time coming into contact with them.
Since Yun Zihai dared to speak so directly, he must have made sufficient preparations beforehand. There was no doubt about this.
A person who could make the emperor feel that he was not bad definitely had no problems in strategy.
However, Xu Bai felt that Yun Zihai had been in contact with him for a long time. Many times, he had to rely on him instead.
This situation indirectly caused Yun Zihai to behave completely differently from him.
Yun Zihai did not know that Xu Bai had already thought so much in this short period of time. Seeing that Chen Yan had already agreed, he could not help but reach out and pat Chen Yan’s shoulder to show his affirmation.
After receiving this affirmation, Chen Yan became even more excited for some reason.
“This is Lord Yun!”
The prefecture’s prefecture token was now the only heavy responsibility for him, making him feel as if the heavens were about to descend upon him. “Brother Xu, shall I begin?” Yun Zihai looked at Xu Bai and asked.
Xu Bai nodded and let Yun Zihai begin his performance.
When Yun Zihai spoke, Chen Yan subconsciously looked over and soon saw Xu
Bai and Chu Yu.
He was a little surprised. From what Lord Yun said just now, it seemed that he should first seek the opinion of this young man.
“Yes… It must be an official higher than Lord Yun.”Chen Yan thought to himself and looked at Xu Bai with even more respect.
A person who could make Lord Yun seek advice was not only an official, but also someone more powerful than Lord Yun.
Thinking of this, Chen Yan became even more respectful.
Of course, Xu Bai felt this gaze. He knew very well that this guy must have imagined something.
However, this was not the time to discuss this.
Yun Zihai spoke again, “Has your Chen family been doing anything unusual recently? For example, something different from before?””
Chen Yan thought for a moment and shook his head.” There’s nothing unusual. Everyone is the same as before. Of course, I’ve only been here for a few days, so I might not be clear. I can only say that I understand. I just feel that there’s something wrong with the family head.”
He had only returned to the Chen family for a few days. This was also the reason Yun Zihai had found him. After all, he had only returned not long ago, so the probability of him being assimilated was extremely low.
“Is there anything unusual about your patriarch?”Yun Zihai frowned.
“He hasn’t changed much from before, and his behavior hasn’t changed either.
However, I can feel that the master’s spirit is getting worse and worse.”Chen Yan said. He really wanted to describe it, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn’t think of an adjective.
” You are not in good spirits. Is it because of your kidney?” Xu Bai joked.
However, as soon as he said this joke, Chen Yan’s eyes lit up and he nodded with certainty.
“Yes, yes, yes. This lord is right. It’s that very empty feeling.” Xu Bai was speechless.
“Other than this, is there anything else?”Yun Zihai asked again.
Chen Yan shook his head, indicating that there was nothing else.
After all, he had only joined for a few days. It was already quite good that he could see a lot.
“Then go back first. Remember, you must be careful. If you have any news, tell me in time. However, when you tell me, you must prioritize your own life.”Seeing that Chen Yan could not say anything else, Yun Zihai gave Chen
Yan a mission, which was equivalent to planting a spy in the Chen family.
Chen Yan looked left and right, and finally agreed. He hurriedly left the street.
After Chen Yan left, only Xu Bai and the other two were left.
Chu Yu looked left and right. Her face was filled with confusion as she scratched her head.”Aren’t you worried? What if he has already betrayed us?” In fact, she had been thinking about this question until Chen Yan left.
Xu Bai smiled.” First of all, he has only joined the Chen family for a few days. That can reduce his chances. Secondly, so what if he is? I think Brother Yun wants to lay his cards on the table.’”‘
“It’s Brother Xu who knows me,” Yun Zihai nodded.”
Chu Yu still did not understand. She stared at Xu Bai with her big, puzzled eyes and a curious expression on her face.
“If not, then we’ve made a profit. If not, we haven’t lost much.”” Think about it,” Xu Bai explained.” After the man in white died in my hands, he would have the idea of being exposed. So, if he really betrayed us, we wouldn’t have lost anything. ‘”‘
Chu Yu nodded her head in a half- understanding manner.
After a while, she seemed to feel that she would look very stupid if she still did not understand the detailed explanation.
Oh, I see.” Chu Yu nodded vigorously, pretending that she knew how to make expressions.
He had to understand even if he didn’t.
If she followed Xu Bai, she would be despised if she was stupid.
“Brother Xu, it looks like we only need to wait.”Yun Zihai said,” Chen Yan just said that their family head’s health is deteriorating day by day. It’s very likely related to that woman called Pink..” ‘
