Chapter 22 You’re Just Too Cowardly
When Xiao Chen arrived at the conference room, quite a few people were already sitting inside.

Seeing Xiao Chen coming in, everyone was cautious and stood up to greet him.

Xiao Chen didn't say anything, just waved his hand casually, motioning everyone to sit down, then walked straight to the chair next to Xiao Zhan and sat down.

Seeing Xiao Chen's behavior,

Xiao Yan and Xiao Ning were both dumbfounded.
Is this kid too crazy?
Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun'er had an expression of admiration on their faces.

"Gallio is dead."

Xiao Zhan's words immediately caused a huge uproar.

"what?"

"Galio is dead?"

"Wasn't he fine a few days ago?"

"Could it be?"

As they talked, everyone turned their eyes to Xiao Chen. It was Xiao Chen who seriously injured Galeo last time. Now, Galeo was dead. Could it be that Xiao Chen had caused internal injuries to him last time?

However, regardless of whether it was Xiao Chen who beat them or not, the Galie family must hate Xiao Chen to death.

"Xiao Chen, don't go out recently. Leave the street patrols to the guards." Xiao Zhan warned.

"It's not a big deal. We can just burn down the Galie family's house tonight and it will be over." Xiao Chen disagreed.

"Cough cough..."

"Cough cough cough..."

Several people who were drinking water almost choked to death.

The remaining people who had not drunk water looked at Xiao Chen in shock.

Even Xiao Xun'er, who had always been a ladylike woman, wanted to run to Xiao Chen and touch this guy's forehead herself to see if he had a fever.

At this time, Xiao Zhan was also very troubled.

He felt that he was becoming less and less like a clan leader, while Xiao Chen was more like the head of the clan, speaking more and more domineeringly.

"Don't talk nonsense, you little brat." The elder sulked and scolded Xiao Chen. As Xiao Yu's grandfather, the elder had long regarded Xiao Chen as his grandson-in-law, so it was okay for him to scold him.

"Yes, yes, you can't say that casually..." The second elder straightened his back and said in a senior manner.

"You are just too cowardly." Xiao Chen interrupted the second elder and said with a look of contempt.

"What?" The second elder was so angry that he stood up.

"Ahem." Xiao Zhan coughed twice, used his eyes to stop the Second Elder, and then said:
"Xiao Chen, you can't say that. We are a big family. We don't need to act impulsively."

"Cut the Gordian knot. If you don't take the life of the Jialie family while they are still badly hurt, we will be in trouble when he recovers." Xiao Chen said calmly.

As soon as Xiao Chen finished speaking, the third elder stood up and said, "Xiao Chen is right, we should kill him while he is ill!"

"Yes, I also think what Xiao Chen said makes sense."

"Support Xiao Chen..."

Xiao Zhan looked at the people in the conference hall, and it seemed that they all supported Xiao Chen. Even though Xiao Zhan felt that this was a bit risky, he had no way to object now.

All they could do was to start making plans to launch a surprise attack on the Jialie family.
However, due to his strong insistence, the sneak attack plan was scheduled to be carried out tomorrow night.

Originally, Xiao Chen wanted to launch a surprise attack tonight, but Xiao Zhan felt that tonight was too hasty and he was not prepared at all.

As a junior, Xiao Chen naturally cannot order Xiao Zhan around, but he can go by himself.

After coming out of the conference room, Xiao Chen gave Xiao Yu a look. The latter lied to the elder and went to find Xiao Chen.

The back garden is behind a hill.

"Is there something wrong?" Xiao Yu asked.

"Do you dare to come with me to Galie's house tonight?"

"What? You're going to Jialie's house?" Xiao Yu couldn't control his voice and blurted out.

Xiao Chen quickly covered Xiao Yu's mouth and whispered, "Keep your voice down." "Mmm... " Being held tightly in Xiao Chen's arms with her mouth covered, she could only nod frantically.

Seeing Xiao Yu nod, Xiao Chen released his hand and said, "Let's go secretly tonight and catch Liu Xi by surprise. We will definitely be able to kill him."

"Then why don't you go tomorrow?" Xiao Yu said, and immediately seemed to have thought of something, exclaiming: "Are you afraid that there is a traitor among us?"

"I don't know." Xiao Chen shook his head, and then said: "But nine out of ten times there should be."

The Jialie family has been operating in Wutan City for hundreds of years, and has always been in a three-way competition with the Xiao family and the Oba family. After so long, it is unreasonable that Jialiebi has not planted spies in the Xiao family.

"So what should I prepare?"

Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Yu in a white dress, wondering why she, who usually liked to wear green clothes, changed to white. He said, "Go change your clothes first, the best black one."

"and then?"

"Then wait for me at the door of Xiao Mei's house." After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he saw a hint of coldness on Xiao Yu's face, and explained: "Xiao Dahu asked me to go to his house for dinner, and I couldn't refuse. We'll go after I finish my meal."

"Then you can't bring Xiao Mei with you." Xiao Yu glared at Xiao Chen with a warning look.

……

Xiao Dahu's home.

When Xiao Chen walked in, he saw the table full of food and the somewhat shy Xiao Mei, and he immediately felt that the scene was somewhat familiar.

What do you mean?
Are you trying to force me into marriage?

Sure enough, Xiao Chen was not wrong.

Wait until three rounds of wine have been served and five flavors of dishes have been served.

Xiao Dahu put his hands on Xiao Chen's shoulders and said drunkenly, "Xiao Chen, what do you think of our Xiao Mei?"

Xiao Chen suddenly felt overwhelmed, but Xiao Mei stared at him intently, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Okay, very good."

"Then I will leave my daughter to you..."

"..."

An hour later, Xiao Chen finally came out of Xiao Dahu's house.

Looking at Xiao Chen, who smelled of alcohol, Xiao Yu frowned slightly:
"How about we go kill Liu Xi tomorrow?"

"I'm fine, just today." After saying that, Xiao Chen shook his head, trying to make himself more sober.

A silver moon hangs high in the dark night sky.

It's still early now and people haven't fallen asleep yet. We have to wait until the second half of the night.

"Let's go to my place first and then take action in the second half of the night."

After saying that, he took Xiao Yu's hand and walked towards the yard where he lived.

Xiao Yu struggled slightly twice but failed to break free, so she let Xiao Chen hold her.

Unlike the lively scene during the day, the Xiao family was plunged into darkness and silence at night. Xiao Chen and Xiao Yu passed by some houses, and occasionally heard the man's panting and the woman's suppressed moaning from inside.

Every time this happened, Xiao Yu felt his ears getting hot and he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

In the backyard of the Xiao family, in Xiao Chen’s room.

A young man was lying on his back on the bed, resting.

Suddenly, a delicate hand holding a hot towel reached out.

The young man's eyes opened instantly. Even though it was dark, his dark pupils were like a cold light. When he saw that it was Xiao Yu, he closed his eyes again.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Yu gently wiped Xiao Chen's face.

"Don't you want to take a rest?" After a moment of silence, Xiao Chen suddenly asked softly.

"I'm not tired." Xiao Yu shook his head. After a while, Xiao Yu asked tentatively:
"Why are you so determined to kill Liu Xi?"

"It's because of you!"
