The Road to Becoming a Son-in-Law

Chapter 48 This password has been cracked seven times already.

The Mu Corporation high-rise building.

Board of Directors.

"We've already lost the Fu family as an ally, Mu Qianxue, do you know just how serious our company's losses are?!"

Mu Xiaofeng's righteous and indignant accusations.

The directors present all looked troubled, their thoughts unclear, but they also expressed dissatisfaction with the incident.

However, Mu Qianxue coldly said, "Uncle, some unqualified allies are better off without."

"You're clearly speaking up for that good-for-nothing! Just like a married woman is like water spilled from a cup! She doesn't care about the company at all!" Mu Xiaofeng questioned three times in a row.

Mu Qianxue gritted her teeth and glared at him: "A person who won two allies for the Mu family, the Nangong family and the Lin family, is a piece of trash? Just how many idle people does that company employ!"

Mu Qianxue retorted without hesitation, leaving the board members who wanted to side with Mu Xiaofeng in a dilemma.

The Nangong family and the Lin family are equally powerful, while the Fu family is weaker. Moreover, these two deals are worth over ten million, which can be said to have created more opportunities for the company.

Mu Xiaofeng was trembling with anger.

But this fact prevented him from directly removing Mu Qianxue from the position.

After the meeting ended, Mu Qianxue breathed a sigh of relief. She wanted to find Chu Ling, but when she called for her assistant, the assistant gave her a surprised look.

"President Mu, Director Chu is on leave today, have you forgotten?"

Mu Qianxue then remembered something.

Indeed, this was the first time someone who works 365 days a year had asked for leave.

"Alright." Mu Qianxue nodded to indicate that she understood, but still frowned slightly...

Is something important happening?

This issue……

"This is a huge problem..."

The woman in high heels was still dressed in black stockings, but her neat short-sleeved outfit transformed her from a modern urban professional woman into a secret agent.

It looks somewhat interesting.

The Chen family's old house, though just an abandoned dwelling of a wiped-out family, undeniably holds the secret she seeks.

At this moment, we have already turned to the former study, which now only has a few books scattered around.

"I heard years ago that after the Chen family was wiped out, someone took all the books from the study in search of something. Now it seems that there really was such a thing."

She picked up a book from the table.

The thick dust was stirred up, and it made me cough.

However, beneath the square book with its prominent mouth, an unexpected icon appeared representing the newcomer.

It was like a sticker, something that he hadn't noticed before because it was hidden by the book, but now that he saw it, he was stunned.

It looks like a sticker, but actually... it's drawn?

She touched it; it wasn't smooth, and the texture... there was a pattern on such a small thing.

I'd long heard that the Chen family was extraordinary, and that they were also skilled in the art of Qimen Dunjia. Now that I see this, it seems... it has some history?

As she was thinking, she heard a noise downstairs.

A furtive footstep crept in from the shadows, appearing extremely cautious.

Chu Ling hid under a table first, instantly concealing his presence so that no one could detect him.

She was more certain of this than anyone else, because even someone like Chen Feng couldn't detect it.

After a short while, the black shadow finally emerged.

His face was obscured, but his behavior was extremely meticulous.

"Is it the same group?"

Chu Ling muttered to himself.

She's been here quite a few times over the years. Apart from a little girl, there's always been a third party secretly observing this place. Now, it seems she's just stumbled upon a coincidence?

Chu Ling remained calm and pondered, wanting only to witness this person's purpose firsthand.

Sure enough, the other party moved the book that was covering the icon, and was holding an electronic screen. They seemed to be unlocking the device by looking at the information on it, but…

"Damn it, this is still not right!"

A moment later, he put down his electronic device and cursed.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, the dark figure made a phone call: "Hey? You redhead, didn't you say this was your most advanced technology? I feel like you're fucking kidding me, I've tried it seven times already..."

"What? This is because our culture is too profound... You fucking don't support cross-border decryption... You son of a bitch, give me a refund!"

Towards the end of the conversation, this guy actually cursed a few times in English, clearly furious.

This...has been tried more than once? Chu Ling found it quite interesting.

Thinking you can crack the Chen family's secrets with just an electronic copy? How naive!

Just as she had decided not to watch this idiot's antics, a sound suddenly came from the courtyard downstairs that caught her completely off guard.

"You little girl, you still won't tell me even now? Am I really that unreliable?" Chen Feng's handsome face twisted with anger.

Accompanying her was Chen Ya, a young girl who looked quite aggrieved: "I really don't know..."

The commotion downstairs startled the dark figure.

Clearly, he hadn't expected anyone to come. He quickly put the book back, grabbed his laptop, and dashed behind the curtains.

Chu Ling's lips twitched...

It's over now.

Just as she expected.

It was better not to go upstairs. As soon as he came up, Chen Feng immediately noticed a particularly strong presence in the room.

This person cannot hide their aura, and in the eyes of a martial artist, aura is like a radar.

Chen Feng was still feeling down because he had no one to vent to, but when he suddenly saw the scent coming from behind the curtains, his face immediately lit up with excitement.

Chen Ya suddenly realized that his expression looked exactly like that of the villains on TV...

Look, it's all distorted!

Seriously, that's just facial expression acting!

"I finally got home, but I didn't expect to find such a big rat in the house?"

Chen Feng grinned slyly, and his imposing aura suddenly spread, throwing the entire study into chaos.

The waste paper was shaken and flew everywhere. At the curtain, the figure cried out in fright, "A ghost!" and then darted out like an eel.

Chen Feng naturally wanted to pursue him.

He disappeared in a flash, leaving Chen Ya standing there dumbfounded for a while before calling out "Brother Chen Feng!" and running downstairs to chase after him.

Little did they know that this was exactly what they wanted.

She watched as the man ran out, and immediately went out of the main gate of the house. As soon as she got to the street, she didn't see Chen Feng, but she saw a guy dressed in black suddenly running towards her.

The man breathed a long sigh of relief: "Luckily, there were people waiting outside, but... this girl?"

Chen Ya spotted him, which startled him. Then he remembered what he had just heard and wondered if the girl might know something.

He immediately smiled smugly and exclaimed, "It came so easily! You little brat, you should know something, right?"

When Chen Ya saw his ferocious smile, although it wasn't as exaggerated as Chen Feng's smile just now, it was still full of malice, and she was a little scared.

"No...no, I don't know anything..."
