Chapter 269 "It's all fate.
But he was also somewhat anxious about Miao's future, which he viewed with immense optimism. Miao had never failed to date, and he believed that Miao would continue to be successful, as well as possessing a temperament that made him feel that, no matter what happened, Miao could withstand it.
He worried, what if he returned to Fengtian City and missed the opportunity to always follow Miao?
If only he could clone himself.
One in Fengtian, and one by Miao's side.
Yesterday in Fengtian, Miao still wanted him to go back to Fengtian to be a director, but for some reason, the topic had not been brought up again since, and he didn't know if Miao had changed his plans or what was happening.
"Sigh."
Zhou Shen, who was tossing and turning, unable to sleep, finally lay in bed and let out a long sigh, decided not to think about it anymore, and left everything to Miao's decision—he would do whatever Miao decided in the end.
...
Meanwhile, at Hungry Monkey's.
"Huff..."
The deafening sound of snoring had started; Hungry Monkey always fell asleep quickly, not only sleeping soundly but also eating heartily. The real happiness in life, in fact, boils down to three things.
Enjoying food, sleeping soundly, and having no illnesses.
Everything else is illusory, or rather, serves these three ends. In youth, one often scorns such simplicity, believing that wealth is the only happiness in life. It's only after suffering a major illness and surviving by a fluke that one truly understands how difficult it is to achieve the simple six words of eating and sleeping well.
Although Hungry Monkey is now sleeping separately from Miao, there is still a light bulb hanging from the ceiling, a habit that hasn't changed; in the morning, he must wake up in the warm embrace of his mother.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Hehe, take a look at those legs."
On Yuan Buping's side, he was eagerly staring at the chat interface on his wristwatch, waiting for a reply. He was playing an instant messaging app for making friends, which was very interesting.
It's not that he was truly hungry.
It's that.. he really was hungry.
Although this place was safe and quiet, with good brothers and friends around, almost like an earthly paradise, the problem was... there are no women here!!!
Not a single woman!!!
The only female creature was Zhou Shen's daughter, and that child was still so young—it's not human to be too beastly.
Beyond that, there really wasn't a single woman, the air was thick with the scent of male hormones.
He truly couldn't hold back anymore.
He didn't know how the other brothers were coping, but recently, he had been falling asleep using the airplane method every night; he really missed women. Finally getting a chance to go out, he thought he could play with women, but after all that trouble, he hadn't even touched a woman's hand before he damn well returned!!!
It was infuriating!!!
But he definitely couldn't tell Miao about this, Miao would kill him!!!
...
Meanwhile, in Fengtian City.
The Patriarch of the Chi Family kneeled devoutly in front of the Buddha statue in the temple for a whole morning and then, with his heart still racing and his legs numb, slowly walked out of the temple with the help of his attendants by his side.
After exiting the temple, he looked up towards the distant Zhongyang.
Eyes full of fear.
It was terrifying. The vast Zhang Family was a super conglomerate-level existence in Jingjiu City and even throughout the entire Federation. Yet, it vanished so easily... without a trace.
Seventy thousand Hungry Monkeys washed the Zhang Family clean.
"It's all fate."
The Patriarch of the Chi Family said with a complex expression, "At that time, if Zhang Wanlin had listened to the mayor and Miao even a little bit, how could this have happened? How could he have fallen to such a state? It's a pity for Zhang Family Head Zhang Boling and the old master of the Zhang Family."
"Both of them were heroic figures, renowned throughout the Federation."
"At the beginning of the world's Transcendentalization, the old master of the Zhang Family made many contributions. They were real contributions, beneficial for the progression of Blue Star. And yet, in his later years, he ended up being killed by his own grandson."
"A spoiled scion."
"..."
As he spoke, the Patriarch of the Chi Family suddenly fell silent. He had always intentionally indulged the profligate sons of the Chi Family, thinking that if they caused trouble with someone they shouldn't, he could simply take the heads of those sons to apologize.
This not only demonstrated his sincerity, but often disarmed the anger of the other party by as much as eighty percent, and also established a connection with the Chi Family, as if threading a needle.
This was a customary tactic of the Chi Family.
In the Chi Family, those profligate sons who hung around aimlessly every day were like disposable diplomatic artifacts. Concerned about oversight... he felt that it was time for the Chi Family to change this pattern. They couldn't allow the profligate sons to continue like this.
If they really provoked a formidable enemy, there might be no chance for the family to intervene before the family itself was annihilated.
Just like what happened to the Zhang Family this time. Stay connected via empire
The old master of the Zhang Family could never have calculated that his grandson would bring 70,000 nuclear warheads into the family's territory and detonate them simultaneously. Who could he reason with about this? And certainly, profligate sons should not be entrusted with too much power.
If the old master of the Zhang Family had not doted on his grandson, and had not given the authority of Beifeng Pharma Group to Zhang Wanlin, then Zhang Wanlin couldn't have brought so many nuclear warheads to the core area of the family's territory.
Various reasons led to the disappearance of the Zhang Family.
"It all happened so fast."
Even now, the Patriarch of the Chi Family was still murmuring in a daze, "It takes the tireless effort of countless people for a family to grow to the extent of the Zhang Family. It's not something one person can accomplish."
"It also takes a lot of time. Generations of collective effort are gathered in the family before it can develop."
"But... such a family only needs someone like Zhang Wanlin to destroy it, and it only takes one night."
"Destruction is often countless times easier than creation."
"After a family becomes significant, one must be even more cautious about it collapsing overnight."
"Right—"
The Patriarch of the Chi Family quickly regained his composure from his daze. Although the fall of the Zhang Family was a great shock to him, he wasn't someone who hadn't seen the world. He wouldn't immerse himself in that shock forever. He swiftly found Chi Qiu's voice in the crowd, waved to summon him, and began to speak with a serious expression.
"In the Chi Family, you have the best relationship with Miao."
"Going forward, we'll still need you to try to get on good terms with Miao."
He used to call Chen Miao by his name directly, but now he had to address him as Miao. Although he was much older than Miao, and the brotherly title felt strange, that didn't matter. In this world, respect was never determined by age."
"Under Zhang Wanlin's tyranny, you still spoke out in defense of Miao. This is good. I will leak this news, leaving no trace. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Do you know what to do?"
What do you think?
