_1 “I didn’t expect you, Old Liu, to be so successful and wealthy now, yet still be willing to drink with a bunch of lowly workers without cheating…”

Liu Zhenhao picked up a bottle of spring water, gulped down half of it, took a tissue, wiped the sweat off his face, and laughed, “I’m not lying, I really enjoy eating a late-night meal at a street food stall like this, especially with a group of people.

It’s so lively.

But as times change, even good friends from the past become uncomfortable drinking with me and no longer have the same carefree fun.

Gradually, I just stopped inviting them for drinks.

It’s awkward for them and uncomfortable for me.”

“Although it seems like I have friends all over Linhai, there’s not a single one with whom I can open my heart, not involve interests, and drink while cursing.

Sometimes I go to a nearby street food stall by myself, order a couple of dishes, get a case of beer, and have a few drinks.

But drinking alone is not as enjoyable as drinking with a group.

To be honest, I really enjoyed myself today.

It’s been a long time since I’ve had such a comfortable drink.”

Lin Chen said with a laugh, “That’s because it’s lonely at the top.

Your friends from back then either soared to success with you, treating you as the boss and leader, creating a hierarchy, or they’ve become distant, forgotten in the Jianghu.

Maybe you would still help each other unhesitatingly in times of difficulty, but it’s basically impossible to sit together and drink as equals like before.”

Liu Zhenhao slapped the table, “You’re absolutely right!

That’s exactly how it feels.

When it comes to interests, even the best friends and brothers start calculating.

The truth is, even if you soar to great heights, they can never be with you like they were before.”

Lin Chen took the initiative to clink his beer glass with Liu Zhenhao’s, “Old Liu, I’m going to deal with the Chu Family.”

Liu Zhenhao was stunned for a moment, then immediately clinked glasses with Lin Chen and said readily, “Then let’s do it!

Chu Tianyu, that kid, even dared to snatch your girlfriend.

It’s time to teach him a lesson.

What do you need me to do?”

Lin Chen shook his head, “I want to deal with the Chu Family, not because of Chu Tianyu’s little incident, but because of my background.”

Liu Zhenhao’s eyes widened, “Background?”

Lin Chen briefly talked about his own background, of course, not mentioning the specific identity of his parents.

He was not afraid of Liu Zhenhao betraying him, and after spending so much time together, he had thoroughly understood Liu Zhenhao’s character.

This man was bold and generous in both his dealings and character, at least towards himself, and wouldn’t do anything two-faced.

Liu Zhenhao was a reliable ally.

“This time I came to Linhai to completely bring down the Chu Family and find the truth.

Old Liu, you have your own connections in Linhai.

I don’t need you to help me confront the Chu Family directly.

I just need you to tell me who their mortal enemies are and help me connect with them.”

Liu Zhenhao pondered, “Do you plan to join forces with these people to deal with the Chu Family?”

Lin Chen nodded, “Yes, my goal is twofold.

The first step is to expel the Chu Family from the cultivation world, and the second step is to crush and divide all of the Chu Family’s industries.

In short, I want the Chu Family to cease to exist in Linhai!”

Liu Zhenhao worriedly asked, “The Chu Family definitely has mortal enemies, and not just one.

But those people are all cunning.

They won’t do something as big as this unless they are sure they can do it.

After all, if they can’t do it, the backlash could be terrifying.”

Lin Chen said with a laugh, “It’s fine, just introduce me to them, and I’ll handle the rest.”

Without any hesitation, Liu Zhenhao agreed, “Alright, I’ll double-check and then introduce you to the most reliable ones.

I’m just an ordinary person, so I probably won’t be able to help much with expelling the Chu Family from the cultivation world, but I can help you deal with their industries.

Also, if you need financial assistance during this process, no matter how much, just let me know.

It’s only a matter of words.”

Lin Chen picked up his glass of beer, “Okay, thank you!”

Liu Zhenhao laughed, “Mr.

Lin…”

Lin Chen shook his head, “Just call me by my name.”

In Liu Zhenhao’s eyes, a touch of surprise flashed.

He was well aware that after tonight’s meal and conversation, Lin Chen has truly come to trust him and regard him as a friend.

Liu Zhenhao has always known that the world is ultimately secretly controlled by cultivators.

No matter how rich you are, if you anger others, they might secretly get rid of you without anyone noticing.

Several of Liu Zhenhao’s bodyguards were cultivators, all of whom were secured with a high price.

However, Liu Zhenhao didn’t trust them much.

Those who are controlled by money can also betray you because of money.

Liu Zhenhao had one true expert by his side, for whom he paid a huge price and did a massive favor, eventually making them willing to protect him for 20 years.

But this expert had a condition; he would protect only him and not anyone else, including his relatives.

As Liu Zhenhao’s business grew bigger, he had more and more contacts with cultivators, and he increasingly needed the power to protect himself.

Lin Chen gave him hope.

Nothing else needed to be said, just the phone call that could incapacitate a master for 10 million was enough to give him great confidence.

This trip was worth it!

Liu Zhenhao picked up his glass of beer, “I’ll take care of this as soon as I get back!”
