Chapter 192: Thorn
My mother's questioning is a word of gem. Since the two are fighting, they must have wins and losses. If it is a one-sided situation, is there still a need to compete? Chen Fang also understood the investigation of his mother's explicit questioning and favoritism. With the tacit cooperation of the two, the investigation became a double act of questioning and answering.
"When is the last time you compete and how will the outcome be?"
"A few months ago, in the Imperial College community, the Golden Lion beat me." Chen Fang answered seriously.
"Sisters, in my opinion, I can't find any evidence to suspect that he is cheating money." Based on the questions and answers of the two, it is natural to come to such a conclusion, and my mother took the opportunity to terminate the investigation.
Beep, the golden lion's message came again.
"However, today's Skynet is different from the past. There are countless competitions. It's not a piece of cake to compete for a championship with your strength. Are you always yelling about lack of money? It is said that the prize money is very generous. Even if you don't like to show off, you can still make a vote, and I will benefit from it." The Lion spared no effort to lobby, of course, not just a mere bonus. Mecha is not only a national competitive sport, but also serves in the army. It also invisibly represents the country's combat power. All countries pay great attention to the Skynet competition. Before the selection competition has started, they have set a series of rewards, and even selected people from the military headquarters to participate. The competition itself does not limit the identity of the contestants. Even if a civilian is an unspoken civilian, if he gets good results in the competition, he can reach the sky in one step. For the nobles, it is a dazzling honor.
However, Skynet has always been a place where there are many experts. After the revision, many professional soldiers were attracted by high rewards. If they were not strong enough, let alone winning the championship, it would not be easy to pass the selection competition.
If it were a Lion who had Chen Fang's ability, he would never miss the opportunity. Even though he knew there was no hope of winning the championship, he still signed up for the selection. It was just because the competition was the only way to bypass points and directly advance.
The qualification for players to enjoy restricted treatment is not points, but level. Generally speaking, players can only advance after obtaining enough points. The contestants participating in the competition can directly advance as long as they pass the first level of selection.
"I understand." Chen Fang forced the communication to end.
The aunts did not stop them anymore because their interest had shifted from the lion and fell on the mysterious Chen Fang.
Winning the championship is a piece of cake. If someone else says such words, it must be considered as shameless, and it is a different matter from the mouth of the Golden Lion.
The Golden Lion is not a person who lacks knowledge. He knows what kind of strength it takes to win the championship. As a noble, he cannot speak nonsense. There should be a limit to flattering horses. If the horse is too slapped, it will change its taste and become a sarcasm. Interestingly, Chen Fang did not have much reflection on his words, which was equivalent to acquiesce. The final conclusion is that Chen Fang is indeed extraordinary and at least has the potential to reach the final.
Having said that, what kind of person can have such potential? Is it just based on the performance of Chen Ping Xiunan Star?
From the conversation between the two, we can know that Chen Fang had been strolling on Skynet in the past. He counted the masters who appeared in Skynet in detail. He seemed to be unable to find such a person. No matter how much the aunts thought about it, they could not think of the answer. They first ruled out the most likely person, the butcher.
Condemnation is condemnation. Since Chen Fang's evidence of cheating money was found without any evidence, the chips were still cashed out. Her mother took the lead in dividing the funds into the account given by Chen Fang, and her sisters naturally had nothing to say, not to mention that they didn't care about losing money and bought a few pieces of jewelry at best.
Soon, his father, who was busy with official duties, rushed over, and there were several other relatives of the Chen family. No matter how many people came, Chen Fang, who had been away from home for two years, could not fade out of people's sight. What made Lu Lingxue strange was that his fiancé attracted much attention in the Chen family was much higher than his parents, and all his descendants performed very strangely after seeing Chen Fang.
Lu Lingxue couldn't tell where the strangeness was. Anyway, that was not a manifestation that brothers should have.
In a quaint and spacious study room, Chen Bowei was surprisingly not smashing anything and listened carefully to the information from his wife.
When Chen Fang arrived, his wife was also present, but this woman had a special ability to wander outside the people's vision at any time and observe everything silently. As a woman of the head of the family, this is not simple.
As the head of the family, Chen Bowei knew very well that all the actions of his descendants were carried out behind him. He needed to be able to see the eyes behind him, and his wife was his eyes.
Of course, his wife is by no means his only eyes. His eyes also include the drivers, employees of the Chen family, and even many celebrities who seem to have nothing to do with the Chen family. Therefore, although Chen Fang has not visited him as the head of the family after returning home, he can still clearly know Chen Fang's words and deeds.
Chen Fang's performance was very interesting, especially the words he said in the car. The head of the family is very busy now and he doesn't want to see me, which is particularly interesting.
The most interesting thing about this sentence is that different people have different meanings. As fiancée, Lu Lingxue thought the head of the family didn’t like Chen Fang.
When Chen Fang's mother heard this, she must have thought that Chen Fang was still holding a grudge.
When he was young, Chen Fang did something that made the head of the family very unhappy. He almost killed his third uncle with the shotgun sent by his grandfather. If it weren't for the bodyguard blocking the shot, it would be hard to predict that the poor bodyguard would be bombarded into pieces.
Everyone knows that the young master has a very good shooting skills, and he hid the hunting rifle behind him and quietly came to Uncle San’s room, obviously not a bluff.
Chen Fang did not deny his motives. His reason was that Uncle San intended to murder his father. This kind of thing was not strange in the Chen family. If it was revealed, everyone would have a bad reputation. Like the previous internal strife, it would eventually end up in vain, and Chen Fang became the only descendant who had been beaten by the head of the family.
Few people know the reason why the head of the family took ruthless action, but Chen Bowei himself knew very well that at that time, Chen Fang's performance was very excellent among his descendants. In terms of family background, he was also the only candidate to inherit the position of the head of the family. He loved deeply and was very responsible, and lost his calmness in disappointment.
No matter what, since that incident, Uncle San has become much more polite to Chen Fang's father, and even a little afraid of this child. Many years later, he can still clearly remember that Chen Fang knocked on his door with barefoot and showed his short gun, and called him "Uncle San" intimately, with a rare smile on his face. Back then, this little bastard was less than seven years old.
At this moment, Chen Bowei heard this and had to think of the information that came not long ago. Viper seized a list in the operation to wipe out the Dark Group, which clearly revealed the identity of an employer.
No matter how stupid a person is, he will not reveal his identity when buying a murderer, but the target of the employer's killing revealed his identity invisibly. Among the targets he bought a murderer, almost all the other descendants of the Chen family except the fifth son. Of course, the targets he killed may not be the descendants themselves, and most of them are people related to the descendants.
What annoyed Chen Bowei was that this list, which should have been strictly kept secret, was strangely leaked.
Such a list undoubtedly represents a murder for the fifth son who lost the qualification to compete for the head of the family and was exiled to the cold palace. Not only the fifth son himself, but also the forces behind him.
Originally, Chen Bowei was still considering how the list was leaked. Now there is no need to think about it anymore. Apart from the Viper troops, there is only the ubiquitous CIA left. This sentence is very clear, but Chen Bowei is indeed very busy. He is busy protecting the fifth young master and finding the guy who leaked the information.
The person who leaked the information was Chen Fang. Of course, he knew that the head of the family was very busy. When Chen Bowei knew that all this was because he was making trouble behind the scenes, he naturally didn't want to see him.
"This kid is still so crazy. He dares to admit what he has done. He is quite honest." His wife smiled faintly.
"It's crazy, but it has nothing to do with honesty. He is challenging me!" A few months ago, Chen Bowei couldn't believe that he had a child dared to challenge his majesty. After visiting Bruce, he began to believe that this little bastard who had been beaten by him and faded out of his vision for a long time had this courage.
"He dares to challenge you?" The wife was a little disbelief. It was not surprising that the descendants were plotting against the head of the family behind their backs. It was a different matter to openly confront them.
"Don't dare? What's he afraid of? He dared to let Bruce resign from his position as CIA director and dared not to disclose a list? He dared to shoot at his third uncle, wouldn't he dare to open the gun to me, my uncle?" Chen Bowei quickly calmed himself down: "If you continue, what did he do in his mother's room?"
"I have done a lot of things. Should I tell you the key points?" the wife thought about it and asked.
"No, I want to listen to the whole story, no need to analyze it." Chen Bowei leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes. His wife's description turned into scenes, which appeared one by one in front of him.
After ten years of silence, the boy who is loved and troublesome is back, and he is as outstanding as ever.
First, I didn’t know what method to use, so I avoided nineteen pas. This is just a trick. As the consideration of the head of the family, I will no longer consider it.
Then the mother and son arranged a bet temporarily and won a considerable amount. Although it was a scam, it proved Chen's talent in mecha combat. No matter how powerful he was in driving mechas, he was just a warrior and was not worth mentioning.
The second son's wife is still the same as before, but the kid and his mother are in tune with each other, which is enough to prove his ability to adapt to the situation. Although he was almost exposed later, he still managed to escape by chance. It's great.
"What did the little girl from the Lu family say?" Chen Bowei suddenly opened his eyes.
"If Chen Fang becomes the leader of the Black Dragon Legion, my father and brother will be very happy." According to her husband's request, his wife repeated the original words without commenting.
"This soldier, who has no successor, actually touches his son-in-law's brain. He can do it. Are you not afraid that I will turn against him?" Chen Bowei snorted coldly and stood up from the chair: "Let's go, let's go to the birthday party of the second wife."
"You never attend such a birthday party. If you suddenly appear, you are not afraid of others saying you are partial." The wife reminded her with concern that she trusted the head of the family and any subtle changes in her husband's past affect the tense hearts of the descendants.
"The second wife is different from the other person. Over the years, she has taken care of the family's external affairs. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the Secretary of State of the Chen family. Now that she is on her birthday, I can't argue if I don't show up." Chen Bowei explained seriously. In fact, even he himself felt that this reason was far-fetched, and he stopped halfway through the passage.
The wife was secretly amused in her heart. Although the second wife is capable, she would not be so concerned about him. If it is worthy of his presence, why didn't she come before? The husband was obviously interested in the third son, but unfortunately, he didn't take him seriously. After a long time of separation, he didn't come to pay homage to him as the head of the family. Since he didn't come, he could only go over and say that he would celebrate his birthday and find a way for himself.
At the banquet, the gorgeous curtains block the light outside, the nine-story birthday cakes are placed beside the stairs, and the glimmer of candles is like stars in the dark.
A woman’s great enemy is time. No matter how much money you spend or how much effort you put in, it cannot save the youth that is gradually fading away. A birthday is definitely not something worth celebrating for women.
As usual, the mother felt sad in front of the cake. With the help of her husband and son, she blew out the candles. In the international practice, she would dance the first dance at the banquet.
"I heard that you have been practicing dancing very hard recently, so you can dance the first dance with me." My mother found her son incredibly, and Chen Fang and his father petrochemicals were on the spot.
"Why do I want to dance with my mother?" Chen Fang was in a dilemma.
"So you are an immature child." The mother felt disappointed and regretful.
"What's the matter with maturity? You should dance the first dance with your father." Chen Fang lowered his voice and argued with reason.
"Only immature children think that dancing with their mothers is embarrassing. Mature men don't mind dancing with their old and old mothers who are not interested in it." The mother smiled and put on Chen Fang's shoulder, and the experienced band played the music in time.
In Chen Fang's eyes, his mother was a fighter, fighting him all the time, and he never won. For some reason, his skillful dance steps have become extremely awkward at this moment, and his stiff movements make him look like a marching puppet.
"When you were in the foreign land, weren't you very unrestrained in dancing with that girl? Why are you like a puppet now?" The successful one now smiled like a flower.
"I don't have any feelings, I have to talk about feeling when dancing." Chen Fang replied casually.
"Do you know why I want to dance with you?" The strolling dance music was gentle but elegant, just right to speak.
"Perhaps I have something to say to me." Chen Fang replied without looking at him. His mother was the focus of the night, and it was his first time in two years. If it weren't for the help of dancing, would the two have the opportunity to be alone?
"After finally, the IQ has not decreased. You kid came to pay a birthday without saying a word. What are your intentions?" Mother questioned harshly. This time it was not pretending.
"I'm coming back to celebrate your birthday, and there's no other intention. You really think I'm coming back to cheat money. It seems that you said you were the little gambling first, but I haven't said anything about gambling." Chen Fang shouted for grievance.
"Don't pretend to be garlic with your mother. You crawled out of my belly. How many colorful intestines can hide it from me? You are so embarrassed to say that you wanted to make a small amount of money for you, but you were greedy and almost dragged me into it. Didn't I remind you to stop when you see it, and be careful to lose your money? How dare you take my words on the spot? Do you think my sisters are all fools? They saw everything, and it was inconvenient to say it clearly. I just wanted me to repay this favor." After saying that, my mother immediately made an elegant spin.
In terms of dancing skills, my mother is definitely not inferior to a professional dancer. Who could have imagined that such a beautiful rotation was done on the instep of the dance partner's feet, and the skirt blocked the audience's sight. Chen Fang could only admit that he was unlucky and had to smile in the heart-wrenching pain. If the condition had not been cured and his physical condition was restored, he would have to break his bones.
"This is a warning in advance. Your third uncle will also be there later. If you dare to do something random, be careful I will repair you." In the blink of an eye, the mother returned to Chen Fang's arms and acted as a petty bird. This was a last resort. His son was a thorn, but some people with no eyes were going to provoke him. Now is an extraordinary period for selecting the head of the family, so he must not cause trouble.
"I wondered, how did my father survive your torture over the years? In my opinion, he is not the weakest person in the Chen family, he is the toughest person in the Chen family." Chen Fang complained with grievance. To be honest, he came back sincerely to celebrate his birthday. Although he was reminded by his father, he had no other intentions and did not want to provoke anyone. Why did his mother guard against him like a wolf?
"Don't talk about your father. He is a good person. Can I bully a good person?" The mother's beautiful eyes flipped and looked at her husband who was still in the petrochemical industry.
"Your son is not a bad person either." Chen Fang was in tears. This reason seemed difficult to accept.
