Chapter: 1665

Ye Chen knew that his marriage engagement with Cui Qiuyi was arranged by their parents.

Moreover, it had already been over 20 years. This was something he hadn't been faithful to his parents' promise, and now if he were to immediately object, he wouldn't even have the face to look at his deceased parents.

So, he nodded lightly and spoke seriously, "Cui Uncle, Lin Auntie, I will carefully consider these issues."

To him, it was best to take things slow and gradually settle this matter.

Cui Yanzhong naturally agreed, then handed Ye Chen a cup of wine and raised one himself, saying with a hearty tone, "Come on, Ye Chen! Let's drink to this!"

Ye Chen nodded, the two elders clinked their cups together, and they finished the entire cup of high-quality baijiu.

With a cup of wine in his hand, Ye Chen felt a sense of familiarity and yet strangeness, and he exclaimed with excitement: "Oh, I've finally understood! Having money and power are nothing compared to being healthy! Only health is the foundation!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but ask Ye Chen: "Hey, Chen, you're not willing to tell Uncle what's really going on? What kind of divine medicine did you give me that has such miraculous effects? It's like an elixir from heaven!"

When Ye Chen heard Cui Yanzhong asking about the Rejuvenation Pill, he smiled slightly and said: "Cui Uncle, this pill is called the Rejuvenation Pill. I wouldn't say it's really the Elixir of Life, but at least it's enough to make one feel like a half-sage. This pill was made by China's ancient divine physicians, and I got it by chance."

Cui Yanzhong didn't doubt him and said seriously: "This pill is indeed too miraculous, unlike any ordinary thing in the world. The feeling when you take it is like a dream! It seems that our ancestors really had many magical abilities that we can't understand."

Ye Chen nodded in agreement.

Although he didn't know who wrote the "Nine Heaven Scriptures," based on the age of the Jade Spring Vessel, he believed that the vessel was made during the Tang Dynasty.

The vessel didn't have any signs of later cutting, which meant that when it was first stored with the wooden box containing the Nine Heaven Scriptures, it was already placed inside before the vase was crafted from wood.

As for the wooden box and the scriptures themselves, their material was also very miraculous. Even after being exposed to high temperatures, they didn't burn or disintegrate, and when opened, they suddenly disappeared into thin air. The secrets within were beyond Ye Chen's comprehension.

So, he felt a sense of empathy with Gu Yanzhong's words.

After drinking three cups of wine, Gu Yanzhong's spirits were becoming more and more elevated, and he was also drinking very happily. Before long, they both decided to take out another bottle of white wine.

Lin Wanjue suddenly thought of something and said, "Yan Zhong, tomorrow's board meeting, you're going to scare off quite a few people, especially Old Two and Old Three."

Gu Yanzhong laughed coldly: "That's correct! Tomorrow, I'll not only stun the entire board with my appearance but also reorganize the whole board! In the past, I was too indulgent towards Old Two and Old Three. I never thought they would stab me in the back when I was ill, but from tomorrow on, they will no longer be as comfortable in the Gu family group!"

Lin Wanjue hurriedly said: "From now on, you must take personal safety very seriously, whether it's the company or at home. You should prepare some bodyguards to prevent Old Two and Old Three from getting desperate."

Gu Yanzhong nodded slightly: "Don't worry, I'll get in touch with the best security company tomorrow and hire a top-notch team for 24-hour protection of our family's safety. From now on, except for the people inside this house - my wife, daughter, and Ye Chen - I will no longer trust anyone else!"

Gu Yanzhong was referring to his wife, daughter, and Ye Chen.

Currently, he indeed does not dare to trust anyone outside of these three people.

Even one's own brother can betray oneself. They even want to take away one's life savings, let alone threaten the lives of one's family members. This not only made him angry inside but also revealed the true nature of humanity.

How about siblings? In front of benefits, won't they also turn against each other?

As he thought about this, Gu Yanzhong looked at Ye Chen and said seriously: "Chen, if you don't have any plans tomorrow, why not come with me? With you by my side, I'll feel more confident too." JrNovels.com
