The next day, early morning.
Chen Ye got up early, faced the first ray of morning light, exhaled and absorbed Qi, and circulated Qi.
This is what Chen Ye must do every day after coming to this world, in order to regain his strength.
Now, it has been four years since Chen Ye came to this world, but due to various restrictions, he has not yet fully recovered his peak combat power in that parallel world.
Although Chen Ye believes that his current strength is enough for this world, he still insists on practicing to nip problems in the bud.
Because, he once heard someone say in the Heavenly Prison that there are legendary strong men in the divine realm in this world, who stand at the top of the martial arts like gods, overlooking the world.
At seven o'clock, after Chen Ye finished practicing, he returned to the house, took a shower, and came downstairs. His mother, Fang Lan, had already prepared breakfast as usual.
"Buzz...buzz..."
Just as Chen Ye sat down and took a sip of porridge, he heard the phone on the table vibrating.
That's Fang Lan's cell phone.
Fang Lan picked up the phone and took a look and found that the caller ID showed an extremely special number - except for the first three digits, the rest were all 4's.
This special phone number first made Fang Lan slightly startled, and then she subjectively thought that the other party had dialed the wrong number, so she refused to answer the call.
Chen Ye noticed his mother's daze and asked:
"Mom, whose call is it? Why didn't you answer it?"
"A special number, I guess the other party dialed it wrong..."
Fang Lan said this, but before she could finish her words, her phone vibrated again.
This time, the phone vibrated with a text message.
Fang Lan heard the sound, picked up the phone again, and saw the text message: I am Luo Hongdong, call me back within one minute, otherwise your son will have a funeral!
Uh-huh!
Seeing the content of this text message in shock, Fang Lan's expression suddenly changed, her right hand shook, and she almost threw the phone away!
Seeing this, Chen Ye felt something was wrong and asked again: "Mom, what's wrong?"
"Ah...no...it's okay. Something happened at the hospital. Xiaoye, you eat first, and I'll return the call."
Fang Lan responded in a panic and did not tell the truth to Chen Ye.
This was the first time in her life that she lied to Chen Ye.
Because she was afraid that Luo Hongdong's sudden appearance would scare Chen Ye!
After the words fell, Fang Lan got up, went upstairs to his bedroom, and then closed the bedroom door.
After doing all this, he walked to the window, took three deep breaths, and then called Luo Hongdong back.
"Luo...Luo Hongdong, what do you want to do?"
When the call was connected, Fang Lan spoke first and asked angrily.
"Should I call you Fang Mei or Fang Lan? It's been twenty-two years, have you hid enough?" Luo Hongdong asked coldly.
"Luo Hongdong, so many years have passed and there is no relationship between you and me. Why do you still come to disturb my life?" Fang Lan said.
"Back then, I reconciled with the Fang family and promised your father not to kill you again, so I didn't investigate your news. Otherwise, do you think you could hide for twenty-two years?"
Luo Hongdong sneered and said: "You are so cruel that you have been away for twenty-two years. During this period, you have not contacted the Fang family. You did not even go back to see your father when he had liver cancer!"
"You...what did you say? My dad has liver cancer?!"
Fang Lan's expression changed.
As Luo Hongdong said, Fang Lan has never contacted the Fang family in the past twenty-two years, and does not know the situation there.
"I won't live much longer."
Luo Hongdong first gave the answer, then changed the subject and said, "Fang Mei, I'm not looking for you today to discuss your father's condition."
"You...what do you want to do?" Fang Lan felt a little panicked.
"Don't be nervous. I always keep my word. Since I promised your father not to kill you, I will definitely not kill you."
When Luo Hongdong said this, he paused deliberately and said, "But do you think I will kill your son?"
"Luo... Luo Hongdong, I beg you, don't kill my son! He is innocent..."
What Fang Lan was most worried about happened. She was completely panicked and quickly begged Luo Hongdong to let Chen Ye go.
However--
Before she could finish what she said, she was interrupted by Luo Hongdong.
"Hey...after all these years, I haven't forgotten the shame you brought me! Now, you tell me that the child you had with that wild man is innocent?!"
Luo Hongdong's tone was low.
"Luo Hongdong, what do you want to do to let my son go?" Fang Lan asked nervously.
"It was a mistake for that bastard to come into this world. I let him live for twenty-two years, which is a great kindness. As a result, he killed one of my subordinates without mercy. Do you think I would Let him go?"
Luo Hongdong said coldly.
"No...impossible..."
Fang Lan subconsciously wanted to refute, but then suddenly thought of Chen Ye's rescue of Zhu Yeqing last night, and was stunned.
"Fang Mei, it doesn't matter whether you know this or not."
Luo Hongdong said forcefully: "If you want to save your son, I can give you a chance."
"What?"
"First, tell me the specific identity and whereabouts of that wild man, and exchange the life of that wild man for your son's life.
Second, after your father dies, you take that bastard back to the Fang family and experience what it feels like to be criticized by thousands of people. "
Luo Hongdong sneered.
Fang Lan's expression changed and she said, "I don't know his identity or his whereabouts..."
"Haha, then prepare to collect your son's body!"
Luo Hongdong didn't believe it at all and interrupted Fang Lan's words directly.
Fang Lan continued to explain: "Luo Hongdong, I really don't know! When I met him at the border free clinic, he was injured. I cured him, but I didn't know anything about him. He just Tell me, his surname is Chen..."
"You don't even know what that wild man's name is, so you just stay with him and give birth to his child? Moreover, you return to the East China Sea with the bastard in your belly to humiliate me?!"
Hearing Fang Lan's words again, Luo Hongdong was completely angry and couldn't calm down!
"I...I didn't want to humiliate you, I..."
"Wait to collect the body of that bastard, I will make you live in regret from now on!"
Luo Hongdong coldly interrupted Fang Lan again and hung up the phone.
Fang Lan was shocked, her hands shook, and she dropped her phone.
She subconsciously reached for her phone, but missed it.
Snapped!
The phone fell to the ground and made a muffled sound.
Fang Lan bent down, picked up the phone, and found that the screen was black. She immediately collapsed on the ground helplessly, completely panicked, and tears poured out of her eyes uncontrollably.
Because she didn't know how she could stop Luo Hongdong from killing Chen Ye!
At this moment, Chen Ye pushed the door open and saw Fang Lan paralyzed on the ground. He was startled at first, then his feet swayed and he was in front of Fang Lan in an instant.
"Mom, are you okay?"
Chen Ye helped Fang Lan up and asked worriedly.
"I...I'm fine."
Fang Lan wiped away her tears in a panic, trying to pretend that she was fine.
Although she didn't know how to save Chen Ye for the time being, she didn't want Chen Ye to know about Luo Hongdong's call and put all the pressure on herself.
"Mom, is this the call from Luo Hongdong?"
Chen Ye asked.
He had noticed something unusual about his mother before, so he quietly came to the second floor of the villa and heard everything Fang Lan said on the phone.
"No...no."
Fang Lan tried to lie again.
"Mom, I heard everything you said on the phone just now."
Chen Ye sighed lightly.
"Xiao... Xiaoye, mom... mom is sorry for you..."
Fang Lan burst into tears when she heard her son's words.
For twenty-two years, she has always felt guilty towards Chen Ye - she did not give Chen Ye a complete family. Chen Ye has never felt the love of his father since he was a child!
Now, Luo Hongdong wants to kill Chen Ye because of what she did back then!
This filled her heart with guilt!
"Mom, you didn't feel sorry for me, and I never blamed you. Don't blame yourself, and don't feel guilty."
Chen Ye gently wiped away the tears from his mother's eyes, then hugged her tightly and said, "Mom, being your son is the greatest pride of my life, really!"
"Ono..."
Fang Lan choked, tears falling like broken beads from her face that had been ravaged by time.
Chen Ye gently patted his mother's back, comforting her in this silent way.
After a full minute, Fang Lan's mood improved a little.
"Mom, tell me the content of the phone call just now."
Chen Ye noticed that his mother's mood had stabilized and spoke.
"Luo Hongdong said that you killed one of his men, and he wants to kill you..."
Fang Lan no longer concealed anything and told Chen Ye the content of the call.
"Mom, don't worry, Luo Hongdong can't kill me, and no one in this world can kill me!"
After listening to his mother's narration, Chen Yezi felt murderous intent boiling in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, just to reassure his mother.
"Really?"
Fang Lan could clearly feel Chen Ye's confidence, but she didn't know where Chen Ye's confidence came from.
"real."
Chen Ye nodded lightly.
Although he doesn't know how strong the so-called god-level experts in this world are, he is confident that even if he encounters a god-level expert, he can defeat them!
Hearing Chen Ye's words again and feeling Chen Ye's confidence, Fang Lan's hanging heart dropped, and she was no longer as nervous as before.
Because, she remembered something.
Qin Miaoyan once told her that Chen Ye met a very powerful master in prison and learned a lot of skills!
"Ding--"
At this moment, Chen Ye's cell phone rang in his pocket. He took it out and found that it was a call from Zhu Yeqing.
He didn't answer the phone immediately, but chatted with his mother for a while. After completely reassuring her, he went downstairs and called Zhuyeqing back.
"I was chatting with my mother just now, what happened?"
When the call was connected, Chen Ye spoke first.
"Mr. Chen, I made a special call to my godfather last night and asked him to coordinate with the Dragon Society to stop the war. Just now, my godfather called me back. He told me that the bottom line of the Dragon Society is to use gambling to solve problems. !”
Zhuyeqing said.
"A gambling war?"
Chen Ye raised his eyebrows.
"Mr. Chen, gambling war is a terminology for martial arts. When there is a conflict between two major forces in the martial arts world, and both parties are unwilling to compromise and do not want to fight, they usually use combat to solve the problem. The losing party must accept the conditions proposed by the other party!"
Zhuyeqing explained.
Chen Ye asked: "What are the conditions proposed by Longshe?"
"If the Qinglong Society loses, give up the territory of Jiangnan! If the Dragon Society loses, from now on, I will never set foot in Jiangnan again!"
Zhu Yeqing answered, and then added: "In addition, Longshe said that the gambling battle will be held in Jiangzhou, and named you to participate in the battle!"
"Tell the Dragon Club that I will fight!"
Chen Ye's eyes flashed with coldness.
He has decided that as long as Luo Hongdong and Luo Tian and his son show up on the day of the gambling battle, they will be buried in Jiangzhou forever!
