Chapter 1279
Leaving the hospital.
Long Lao drove the car, glancing at Chen Dong in the back row through the rear-view mirror every now and then.
Chen Dong leaned back in his seat, his gaze complicated, his expression grave and thoughtful.
Long Long.
“Young Master ……”
Elder Long suddenly said.
“It won’t happen!”
Chen Dong blurted out.
Long Lao was stunned for a moment and smiled helplessly, “Old slave hasn’t said what it is yet.”
“Oh, you say.”
Chen Dong rubbed his face and said with a straight face.
Elder Long’s face was filled with a smile that became even more helpless, but he shook his head with a bitter smile and stopped speaking.
With his experience of reading through the red world, how could he not know what was on Chen Dong’s mind at this moment?
“Elder Long.”
After a long time, Chen Dong suddenly said, “I will not betray Xiaoying, nor will I change my heart, if so, you can kill me instead of Xiaoying.”
Each word was incomparably decisive.
Elder Long’s expression changed greatly: “Young master, what foolish words are being said at this New Year’s Eve? How dare the old slave do such a disobedient act?”
“I am serious!”
Chen Dong’s face was full of seriousness, “I owe Xiao Ying too much, I am not even qualified to be a husband, if I change my heart again, then I am no different from an animal, it is not enough to die.”
Long Lao saw the look of determination on Chen Dong’s face through the rear-view mirror and hesitated.
“With Old Slave here, there will definitely not be that day.”
Chen Dong looked out of the window and watched the rapidly receding scenery, and when he withdrew his gaze again, it was no longer as complicated as it was just now.
He said in a deep voice, “Now that the world is in turmoil, and Chen, Gu and Iga have all been put up on bounty missions by the Hidden Kill Organisation by me, it is time to move our a*sets.”
“Good.”
Elder Long nodded, “Old slave will arrange this matter, but now that the situation is unclear, old slave suggests that it is better for old slave to preside over the big picture while young master retires behind the scenes, safety first.”
“That’s fine, I would also like to spend more time with Little Shadow.”
Chen Dong nodded his head.
Back at home.
Just after entering the door, Chen Dong saw Zhao Broken sitting in the garden with a grave expression, swinging on a swing.
Getting out of the car, Chen Dong stepped towards Zhao Brezhong, his footsteps were slow and he did not make a single sound.
And while Elder Long witnessed this scene, he did not make a sound to ask.
It was because he clearly saw that two strands of qi lingered under Chen Dong’s feet, and it was these two strands of qi that greatly suppressed the sound of footsteps, which tended to be almost nothing.
However.
Just when Chen Dong was still three metres away from Zhao Breru.
Zhao Breru, however, said without turning his head back, “Brother Dong, I heard it.”
Chen Dong paused in his steps and frowned, “I am truly curious about you and Xu Qingfeng.”
The Thief Saint Xu Qingfeng, an existence that even Eldest Uncle Chen Daojun was extremely interested in, was equally curious in Chen Dong’s mind.
It was just that this past affair was not spoken about by Eldest Uncle, nor was it spoken about by Wu Chang.
All of them wanted to learn about Xu Qingfeng’s whereabouts from Zhao Breaking’s mouth.
Chen Dong was purely lying when he said that he did not want to pry Zhao Breru’s mouth open.
“Don’t ask, really don’t ask.”
Zhao Bre Ru scratched his head, “I’ve only learnt a little, it would be hard for me to ask too much.”
“Alright then, I won’t ask, you help me with one thing.”
Chen Dong smiled and sat down next to Zhao Breru: “Using your skills as a gentleman on the beam, you can help me analyse the hidden loopholes of this villa, and help me rearrange and set up the defences.”
“I can help, but the key is that if I set it up, it won’t work if your rivals really come to kill you.”
Zhao Breru helplessly stretched his hands.
This was true, he was capable enough to arm the villa on all fronts, but the key was that Chen Dong’s opponents were all extraordinary.
In front of absolute power, even the most fancy and fancy would be useless.
Chen Dong patted Zhao Breru’s shoulder, “A little is better than nothing, it’s better to find out in advance than to realize it only after the killing machine is at your throat.”
“All right then.”
Zhao Breru agreed.
Chen Dong smiled and said, “I’ll let Wu Chang give you a hand, you’re too tired to set up by yourself.”
“Okay.”
Zhao Broke-Ru did not refuse.
With a whirl, Chen Dong walked into the villa.
It was close to noon, and Gu Qingying and Fan Lu were busy working in the kitchen.
On the other hand, Impermanence was sitting in the living room, knitting a jumper and accompanying Gu Guohua and his wife as they chatted.
Chen Dong walked over to Changeless and said with a smile, “Changeless, I’ve found something for you to do, later on Zhao Brezhong will be arming the whole villa, so please help him out.”
“Okay Mr. Chen.”
Changeless nodded his head.
Immediately afterwards Chen Dong but his words turned, “That’s all I can help with, that kid is biting his lips to death and not popping a few words out, since you and my uncle both know Xu Qingfeng, take a closer look at that kid’s arming and see how much of Xu Qingfeng’s mantle that kid has actually gained.”
Impermanence froze.
Long Lao, who was immediately behind Chen Dong, was even more dumbfounded.
It felt like Young Master …… was just fooling Zhao Brezhong?
Laying down defenses was a lie, probing the bottom was the real thing!
“Many thanks to Mr. Chen.”
The reactive Wu Chang smiled gratefully, and was getting up to walk outside the villa, looking for Zhao Breru to discuss.
Long Lao, on the other hand, walked over to Chen Dong and teased, “Young master has lamed that boy Zhao Baolu at the drop of a hat, huh?”
“I didn’t do anything, ah.”
Chen Dong pretended to be surprised and innocent.
Long Lao smiled and nodded, “Yes did not do, yes did not do, Zhao Breru that kid is doing, alas …… the dark road is slippery, the society is complicated, Zhao Breru that kid still lacks the society’s poisonous beating.”
“All right, everyone is curious about the matter, snubbed on snubbed.”
Chen Dong shrugged his shoulders.
Elder Long also stopped continuing this topic and was busy with other things.
Chen Dong sat down on the sofa and accompanied Gu Guohua and his wife as they chatted idly.
“Dong’er, your mother and I are planning to return to the other side of the ocean, there are still a lot of things for the company to deal with over there.”
In the middle of the small talk, Gu Guohua’s words suddenly changed and his expression was a little odd.
“Dad, it’s rare for you and mum to come over, spend more time with Xiaoying.”
Chen Dong saw Gu Guohua’s face look a little odd and asked after him, “Is there something tricky?”
Gu Guohua shook his head, “It’s nothing serious, mainly because now you and Xiaoying are safe and sound, so there’s nothing for us to do here, so we’d better go back to take care of the company.”
Li Wanqing echoed, “Dong’er, don’t worry, it’s really fine, it’s just that we’ve been out for too long, we have to go back, we can’t stay here with you and Xiaoying, you both have your own little lives to lead.”
“We are happy to have you here with me and Xiaoying.”
Chen Dong did not pursue the matter further and said with a smile.
A word that made both Gu Guohua and his wife smile in relief.
At lunchtime.
Gu Guohua remained firm in his intention to return to the other side of the ocean today.
Gu Qingying, like Chen Dong, also spoke carefully to detain him, but was still unable to dissuade him.
Chen Dong secretly tugged at Gu Qingying to stop her.
Waiting until after lunch.
Chen Dong then asked Elder Long to send Gu Guohua and his wife to the airport.
After sending her parents away, Gu Qingying then asked Chen Dong in confusion, “What did you stop me for just now?”
“Mom and Dad must be going back for something, they are just hiding it from us, dissuading and pursuing them will make them both embarra*sed.”
Chen Dong explained, “Don’t worry about it, when Elder Long comes back I’ll ask him to check it out and we’ll know exactly what’s going on.”
Chapter 1280
The next three days.
Chen Dong stayed at the Tianmen Mountain villa, and according to the result of his discussion with Elder Long, all the properties under his command were managed by Elder Long.
It also took three days for Zhao Breru and Wu Chang to re-defend the villa.
However, during these three days, Chen Dong had no knowledge of the villa’s fortification.
Whether it was Zhao Breru or Changless, when they set up the defence, they always seemed to avoid everyone in the family.
It was noon on this day.
Chen Dong was in his study reviewing the information returned from various enterprises when there was a knock on the door of his room.
Changeless walked in, “Mr. Chen, the villa is fully fortified.”
Chen Dong put down his hands and frowned slightly.
Impermanence’s face was obviously not looking too good.
“What’s wrong?” Chen Dong asked.
Impermanence’s face was grave and somewhat chagrined, “The fortifications laid out by that kid have left me a little confused, it feels like a half pot of water wobbling around.”
“I’ll go with you to take a look, I haven’t asked around about your fortifications in the past few days, and hearing you say that, it always feels strange.”
Chen Dong got up and headed out towards the study.
He had deliberately fooled Zhao Breru into helping to re-defend the villa, indeed with the intention of making it safer, but most of all, he wanted to use this method to let Changeless side-step Zhao Breru to see how much of the Thief Saint Xu Qingfeng’s heritage the latter had obtained!
On the contrary, three days have pa*sed, and now the reaction of the changeless is obviously extremely unsatisfactory.
Could it be that …… Zhao Breru really didn’t have much to do with Xu Qingfeng?
“If that brat didn’t know the ‘Dragon Ascending Technique’ and the ‘Bone Draining Technique’, even if I beat the old body to death, I wouldn’t be willing to treat him as the heir of the Thieving Saint Xu Qingfeng.”
Wu Chang looked sulking and annoyed as he followed behind Chen Dong.
“Let’s take a look first, there’s something about this kid Zhao Broke-Ru.”
Chen Dong rubbed his nose and smiled meaningfully.
He probably knew some of Zhao Breru’s past experiences, even though he had been displaced and in dire straits he had still survived until now, would such a person be simple?
He had lived a life like a stray dog, living in the darkness and yearning for the light, so he knew better than to say that Zhao Brolu was not an ordinary person.
Even if he was a lowly man, he was still one of the best!
When measuring a person, it is not by their immediate status or money, but by their experience.
Status, money and power are all extraneous things that can become a thing of the past at any moment, but experience is the only thing that doesn’t change, it’s like a shadow!
At these words.
Changeless also stopped talking and followed closely behind with wrinkled brows.
Soon, the two of them walked to the back garden outside the villa.
What lit up Chen Dong’s eyes was that in three days’ time, many trees had been replanted in the villa’s large back garden, more densely populated than before, giving it a scribbled feeling of a garden turned into a mountain forest.
At this moment, Zhao Breru was squatting in a corner of the back garden, waving a shovel to bury an acacia tree in the soil.
“Take a look, Mr. Chen, this is the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation, it took this kid a day of mapping to get it out.”
Changeless said with a strange expression as he pointed to the dense forest trees towering around him.
Chen Dong’s eyes scanned the back garden, although he was well read and had a deep literary heritage, he did not have a deep knowledge of the five elemental arts and mathematics.
Still, with Wu Chang reminding him, Chen Dong quickly discerned the figure of the eight trigrams formation.
“It’s just too watery, so watery that it treats those killers as retards.”
Impermanence stood side by side with Chen Dong, looking sullen, and even more so, she glared at Zhao Broken in the distance, “This kid took the old body three days to come up with such a bad thing.”
“How so?”
Chen Dong was a little stunned.
Impermanence raised his finger and pointed in a direction, “The Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation, divided into Life, Death, Jing, Hugh, Du, Injury, Alarm and Kai, a total of eight gates, originally originated from an ancient battlefield military formation, the eight gates are interlocked, with the eight trigrams as the source, seven of them are forbidden for those who enter to exit, only one of the living gates leaves a way to live.”
“So that’s the Life Gate?”
Chen Dong drifted off and looked in the direction that Impermanence pointed, smashing his mouth for a moment, a little embarra*sed.
In the direction that Changeless pointed, there were three laurel trees standing in a zigzag shape between each other, but compared to the density of the surrounding trees, the three laurel trees were obviously more sparse between them.
A normal person would have noticed the unusual spacing between the three laurel trees, which stood out in the dense woods!
“The Gate of Life does not refer to the Eight Gates of Life, but is the only one of the Eight Gates that can be escaped alive, Life and Death Jing Huo Du Huan Jing Kai, as long as the arrangement is good, all can choose either one as the Gate of Life.”
The more Wu Chang said, the more annoyed he became, gritting his teeth, “But this B*****d, the three laurel trees he planted, is the naked eight doors of life, he is afraid that after the killers enter the eight doors of the golden lock formation, they can’t get out to kill you Mr. Chen, right?”
Chen Dong: “……”
This F**king …… should not be a spy from the enemy, right?
After taking a deep breath, Chen Dong called Zhao Breru who was in the distance over.
The first thing you need to do is to get to the front of the house, then Chen Dong raised his hand and pointed at the three cinnamon trees: “Zhao Breru, is this how you do water formations? The raw door is so obviously placed, are you afraid that the killers won’t be able to walk out and kill me?”
“Yo, Brother Dong also knows about formations?” Zhao Bros. raised an eyebrow and smiled.
“I don’t understand it, but ……”
Chen Dong forced down his anger, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhao Broke-Ru.
Zhao Breru looked solemn: “You don’t understand, what are you bleeping blindly?”
Chen Dong: “? 0?”
“Mr. Chen doesn’t understand, but the old body does!”
Changeless gritted his teeth, “This Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation of yours, even if I take a look at it, I feel that it is an insult to my intelligence, you brat, how much of the mantle of the Thief Sage Xu Qingfeng have you learnt?”
“I’ve said not to ask, it was Dong himself who asked me to set up the villa’s defences, what can I do?”
Zhao Baolu pretended to be innocent, with a spread of his hands and a shrug of his shoulders.
“But you’re clearly treating everyone’s lives like child’s play by setting it up like that!”
Changeless stomped his foot indignantly.
“If you’re good, you go on!”
Zhao Ru had a shrewish look on his face, “It’s all set up anyway, so if you don’t like it, tear it all down, you’re the one to set it up?”
Impermanence’s face turned red: “You ……”
Chen Dong gestured for Impermanence to stop and slowly said, “Since it has already been set up, then so be it.”
“Mr. Chen, this ……” Impermanence looked at Chen Dong in shock.
Chen Dong shook his head, “It took three days and it has all been laid out, so let’s leave it for now, after all, there is no better way to arm it now, few are better than none.”
When he said this, Chen Dong’s heart was also a little helpless.
He really didn’t expect Zhao Breru to come up with such a thing.
However, Zhao Bre Ru’s final words made Chen Dong’s heart and soul flutter.
“That’s right, use people without suspicion.”
After saying that, Zhao Bre Ru turned around and left.
Chen Dong’s eyes flickered as he stared profoundly at Zhao Breru.
For a long time.
He suddenly asked Changeless beside him, “Changeless, should I try this Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation tonight, or should you try this Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation?”
“Mr. Chen, this rubbish formation, there is no need to try it?” Impermanence was full of dismay, staring at Chen Dong incredulously.
Chen Dong, however, lightly pulled the corner of his mouth and laughed strangely, “It’s not like I’ll get pregnant if I try it.”
