Ye Fengwu sat down calmly across from Chen Zuoshan and drank a whole cup of tea in one gulp, smiling, "Good tea, pour me another cup."
Chen Zuoshan refilled Ye Fengwu's tea, then picked up his own cup and slowly savored it.
After putting down his cup, Chen's withered old face became serious as he said, "You should have noticed something, right?"
Ye Fengwu nodded, then placed the phone he got from Lin Qiang in front of Chen Zuoshan and said, "This is the only information Lin Qiang collected. You should have expected this already, right?"
Seeing the scythe tattoo in the photo, Chen's brows also furrowed as he said, "Sure enough, it's them. After decades, the Grim Reaper Syndicate has struck our China again!"
Ye Fengwu asked, "What do you know about the Grim Reaper Syndicate?"
Chen Zuoshan shook his head with a sigh, "Not much more than you. I can only tell you that if they want to, they can destabilize the economy and even the leadership of any small or mid-sized country within days."
Hearing this, Ye Fengwu was shocked.
Chen Zuoshan continued, "They have stood over the world for hundreds of years, with influence all over the world. Even high officials in every country have been infiltrated by them. It's no exaggeration to say that you and I sitting here could be their people."
This time, Ye Fengwu was even more shocked. He asked, "Why would the Grim Reaper Syndicate target a single woman?"
Chen Zuoshan shook his head with a frown, "The Grim Reaper Syndicate is mysterious and unpredictable. No one can guess their plans. And once they start, they will never stop until their target is eliminated. The assassins this month are the lowest level. If they fail, even more formidable killers will be sent."
"So I'm afraid Lin Qiang and the others won't be able to hold out for long. You should go to Luo's Corporation and take a job as a bodyguard as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Ye Fengwu's expression was strange. He grumbled, "Can't I just protect her in secret?"
But Chen Zuoshan impatiently said, "That Luo girl cannot come to harm, otherwise I'd lose face with the Luo family. And not only that, that Luo girl is a descendant of our China's Tiger Gate. If anything happens to her, it would be a huge humiliation for China."
Regarding the Tiger Gate Chen Zuoshan mentioned, Ye Fengwu also knew a little. It was the guardian gate of all of China, along with Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and Qilin. The five Tiger Gates had protected China for hundreds of years.
Ye Fengwu said in surprise, "So she's a descendant of Tiger Gate. No wonder you didn't hesitate to frame me as a rapist to protect her."
Hearing the resentment in Ye Fengwu's tone, Chen Zuoshan just laughed and scolded, "Boy, isn't this what you've always wanted? Let me tell you, if anything happens to that Luo girl, be prepared to be a rapist for life!"
The old man was clearly threatening Ye Fengwu.
Ye Fengwu frowned and said, "It will be tricky if it's the Grim Reaper Syndicate."
Chen Zuoshan's expression was also solemn as he said, "You should think of it this way. That's why people above have already sent some others to assist you."
Hearing this, Ye Fengwu was unhappy and said, "I prefer to work alone."
Chen Zuoshan harrumphed, "Follow orders. After all, the Grim Reaper Syndicate is beyond our ability to handle. Only those kinds of people can confront them head-on."
"Those kinds of people?" Ye Fengwu was a little confused.
Chen Zuoshan's expression gradually became solemn. He looked at Ye Fengwu and said, "You have potential, so I will impart all I know to you. Your body has already been developed to the human limit, so in terms of muscle strength and reaction speed, no one in the world can match you. However..."
Here, Chen Zuoshan's expression clearly became even more solemn, before continuing, "There are people beyond people, and heaven beyond heaven. This world is far more complicated than you can imagine."
Ye Fengwu listened carefully, always feeling that Chen Zuoshan was implying something to him. His skills were indeed taught by Chen Zuoshan, which was why he could become the strongest soldier king in the army.
It was said that when he was young, this nearly 80 year old man was strong to an unbelievable degree. Even now, Ye Fengwu still didn't have much confidence he could defeat Chen Zuoshan.
But Ye Fengwu just smiled and said, "I'm still young, and you're always preaching to me that we learn until the day we die. Besides, I, Ye Fengwu, have never met a worthy opponent in my life."
Ye Fengwu's words showed his arrogance, and the loneliness of masters.
Chen Zuoshan shook his head with a wry smile and sighed, "It's not easy to say more. Only after leaving the military will your true growth begin."
Ye Fengwu secretly took note of Chen Zuoshan's words, but then he thought of something and asked, "What about funding for this mission?"
"Funding? What funding?" Chen Zuoshan looked confused.
Hearing this, Ye Fengwu suddenly widened his eyes and gritted his teeth, "You mean we have to pay for everything ourselves?"
Chen Zuoshan calmly said, "I don't have any funding. That Luo girl is worth billions. The funding for this mission should naturally come from her."
Ye Fengwu said angrily, "Does Luo Yihang know our identities?"
Chen Zuoshan shook his head and said, "There's estrangement between the Luo girl and the Luo family. She doesn't know the Luo family has hired the Wolves special forces to protect her, much less know of your existence. So you'll have to figure out the funding issue yourselves."
Having said that, Chen Zuoshan acted indifferent.
"You're ruthless!" Ye Fengwu gnashed his teeth and said.
"Grandpa...you're trying to kill me!"
Just as Ye Fengwu was unhappy, a cheerful voice suddenly sounded from behind. Then an extremely alluring body flashed past Ye Fengwu and sat right next to Chen Zuoshan.
Chen Zuoshan's eyes were full of doting love. He pretended to be displeased and said, "Girl, if you really missed me, you wouldn't be calling me an old geezer."
The newcomer was none other than Chen Nan, the police flower with an exceptionally hot figure and temper. Right now, she still wore that police uniform that made hearts race, with her weapons still strapped to her waist.
Chen Nan hugged one of Chen Zuoshan's arms and acted cute, "It's because you let a bad guy go. Speaking of that guy...hey..."
Only then did Chen Nan notice there was someone else sitting across from them. But when she saw the man's appearance, Chen Nan's beautiful big eyes suddenly glared.
"You bastard, what are you doing in my house?" Chen Nan stood up and pointed at Ye Fengwu cursing.
Ye Fengwu raised his head and gulped down a cup of tea, then indifferently said, "I already told you someone invited me for tea."
Ye Fengwu was also a little surprised that this fiery police officer was Chen Zuoshan's granddaughter.
Chen Zuoshan seemed to have expected this and laughed, "That saves me an introduction."
But Chen Nan said coldly, "What does it save? You still haven't told me why this rapist is in our home, and why you became his guarantor.
Hearing this, Chen Zuoshan put on a sighing expression and said, "Nan'er, you were still innocent back then. Grandpa owed him a favor, so I'm just repaying it this time."
Chen Nan frowned and said, "You owed him a favor before I was innocent? You must be getting senile. Look how old he could be compared to me."
"Cough cough..." Chen Zuoshan coughed awkwardly a few times, then said solemnly again, "Actually I intended to marry you to him."
Pfff!
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Fengwu spit out his mouthful of tea right at Chen Nan, spraying her face and body.
In an instant, Chen Nan jumped up and pointed at Ye Fengwu cursing, "What's wrong with you!"
Ye Fengwu's expression was indifferent and he said, "Elder Chen, I think you really are getting senile. My wife Qin Qinghan is gentle and virtuous. No matter her looks or figure, she's better than your granddaughter. Well, I admit your granddaughter has a slightly hotter figure."
Chen Zuoshan was unhappy now and said sternly, "My granddaughter is no worse than you!"
But Ye Fengwu said, "Anyway, I still prefer the gentle, virtuous type like my wife."
Hearing this, Chen Nan was nearly overcome with anger. She glared at Chen Zuoshan and Ye Fengwu and angrily said, "Are you guys pretending I don't exist? I, Chen Nan, would rather die than marry a rapist! Don't you be wishing for what you can't have!"
Chen Zuoshan patted Chen Nan's arm and comforted: "Nan'er, although Fengwu made mistakes in the past, he has already been punished inside and has reformed. "
Chen Nan humphed: "It's hard to believe he could really change. People who come out from there rarely reform themselves. Instead, they continue to harm society again and again. So many innocent people have suffered from them."
What Chen Nan said was right. In today's world, few who have been inside can truly reform themselves. Once they are out in society again, their evil ways simply resume.
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances.

Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions.

And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
