Arc 6 – Slag that Little Wolfhound
Chapter 134

The funeral was very grand and also done very quickly. Because the deceased was a child who had just turned ten, many of the processes were simplified. When they reached the cemetery, Chi Zhao walked at the front and behind him were the seven adopted children standing in line according to age.

In fact, Chi Zhao understood Wen Yu’s feelings very well. If he were Wen Yu, he would also want to kill Wen Xijun that hypocritical bastard.

The ten-year-old boy laid quietly in the coffin. His life was over before it could start. The most unfortunate thing was that even when he died, he didn’t understand why he was forced to leave this world.

Seeing that the coffin was put in place, Chi Zhao was silent for a while. He then walked over to the other side. Wen Lie watched him from behind and proceeded to gently place a lily on the coffin.

Wen Yu followed closely afterwards but after he placed the flower down, he looked up and glanced at Chi Zhao with an indecipherable look.

……..

After the funeral, people very soon stopped mentioning Wen Nian. Wen Nian’s room as usual was sealed shut. It was as if there was never such a person in his household. Everyone similarly sealed away everything related to that child including their memories. No one knew when those memories would resurface again.

Wen Yu’s injuries were almost healed and the scars on his body gradually faded. The most obvious scar across his eye however will never go away. His left eye was covered with a grey cloud, forming a strong contrast with the healthy right eye.

Although no one said anything, Chi Zhao knew everyone was concerned about Wen Yu’s left eye. It seemed that the person involved was the calmest.

Ever since his injuries healed, Chi Zhao brought Wen Yu around with him and also let him manage various affairs for the group. With this, the last young master who was of age had also joined the group and the rumours become even more enthusiastic.

The difference from the others was that Wen Yu and Wen Xijun went around everywhere together. No matter what they did, they were together. They appeared to be much closer than the others.

Could the second young master be the one Wen Xijun likes the most?

Everyone wondered inside. But very soon, this speculation was overturned.

Impossible. With the second young master’s eyes like that, how could he inherit the Wen Family? It was said that the second young master’s eyes were personally blinded by Wen Xijun himself. He probably hates Wen Xijun with all his heart deep inside.

Appearing close on the surface but secretly hating and plotting against Wen Xijun, Wen Xijun keeping the second young master by his side was probably also his way of using him as a shield. The real heir was probably someone else.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are a lot of people, there will always be fights for power. Chi Zhao reproached inside: So much for a big organisation. There are no more than 10,000 employees yet they can still pull out speculations like shields and heirs. They really took him too seriously.

……….

No matter what the rumours were, the people involved were still unmoved. Chi Zhao had to compliment the original owner’s choice; all the adopted children were good seedlings. After some hellish training, they were now all top elites.

Moreover, none of them were shocked or bothered by the rumours. They were even calmer than Chi Zhao, an old monster who had lived for hundreds of years.

Besides, the real situation wasn’t like what the outside world thought. It was true that Chi Zhao brought Wen Yu around with him wherever he went but the two didn’t work together. Most of the time, Wen Yu worked while Chi Zhao rested.

………

Wen Yu found that he has having a harder time to understand Wen Xijun. He had thought of all the worst possible outcomes possible and had waited vigilantly every day, but even after three months had passed, nothing happened. Wen Xijun was still the same, handing over all of the work that should be done by himself over to Wen Yu and then staying alone in his office. It was unknown what he was plotting.

Whenever Wen Yu entered the office, he would either see Wen Xijun sleeping or see him sitting in the office chair, silently gazing at the scenery outside the window.

Every time it was like this, Wen Yu’s expression would sink a little.

To hide it so much, what exactly was he planning?

Chi Zhao: I’m not doing anything, I’m just bored so I spend my time sleeping and sitting in daze.

………..

The system also didn’t understand what was going on with Chi Zhao. Either complete the task or fall in love, he should choose one or the other. What was he doing?

After watching for a while, it still couldn’t tell. In the end, it could only ask.

Hearing the system’s question, Chi Zhao was also speechless, “Isn’t it all because of you? If you hadn’t brought me to this place, I wouldn’t be like how I am now, unable to do anything.”

【What do you mean?】

Chi Zhao rubbed his temples and explained, “To Wen Yu, I am a big, black-hearted villain. No matter what I do, he thinks that it is definitely something bad so the most important task for me right now is to change Wen Yu’s impression of me. If not, he wouldn’t believe what I say or do, and everything would be in vain.”

【……Then by doing nothing, he will believe in you?】

“What do you mean doing nothing?” Chi Zhao let out a mysterious smile, “I am currently slowly boiling the frog in lukewarm water. By not doing anything, it allows Wen Yu to see that I am not a big villain who can only hurt others and that I have my own personality and principles that I adhere to. My true identity is an ordinary human, not the tyrant in the Wen Family who kills without hesitation.”

The system let out an indifferent ‘oh’.

【In the end, it’s still doing nothing.】

Chi Zhao: “……..”

With the big boss Wen Xijun’s personality, if he was interested in someone, he would neither predate nor pursue. He would just be like an old cat, slowly directly the other party into his territory, teasing the other party until they’re tired and then, once he loses interest, he would throw them away like trash.

Wen Xijun was very well versed in the way of buying people’s hearts and the people who were teased by him often fail to see that they were just a toy. They would dig out their hearts and show sincerity in everything but all of that just made them look like a clown to Wen Xijun; funny, ridiculous and boring.

This wasn’t the first time Wen Xijun did this. There were several people before this and because their developed real feelings for him and created a big fuss, their end result was naturally very miserable.

Wen Xijun’s actions were very skilled. He could make others fall in love with him easily but ultimately, that kind of love was psychopathic and unhealthy. When unable to be obtained, they would be depressed but once obtained, they would slowly wake up and realise that they actually didn’t love him as much as they thought. All the previous passion and vigor was just a temporary impulse as a result of excessive emotional manipulation.

Chi Zhao couldn’t imagine manipulating someone into becoming his and he also didn’t want to work hard at pursing the other party. After all, right now in Wen Yu’s eyes, he was probably not even as cute as a field mouse.

……..

And so, Chi Zhao’s strategy was to gradually lower Wen Yu’s defences and let him fall in love with him first before doing some pushing and pulling and then finally agreeing to be with him when he gets too anxious.

Upon hearing Chi Zhao’s plan, the system was silent for a moment.

【Pig trotter.】

Chi Zhao: “………..”

Chi Zhao worked during the day and slept at night. In fact, Chi Zhao spent very little time in the Wen residence. Usually, he would go to rest as soon as he gets home so even if he had been in this world for several months, he didn’t have much interaction with the other children.

Furthermore, those children were more afraid of Wen Xijun and didn’t dare wander around in front of him.

Of course, there was an exception.

The fourth child, Wen Zhuang, was a strong and sturdy boy who lived up to his name. Despite being only sixteen this year, he already has a much sturdier build than his eldest brother, Wen Lie. When Chi Zhao stood next to him, he looked particularly petite.

Wen Zhuang was the typical simple minded but physically apt individual. Among all the children, he was the one who was closest to Wen Xijun. This admiration in his eyes could almost be felt. It was also because this child was so sincere, Chi Zhao found it hard to refuse his requests.

Wen Zhuang admired Wen Xijun very much. His dream was to become a man as powerful as Wen Xijun. Although Chi Zhao felt that his dream may not be realised, it was still possible for him to satisfy the child’s desires a little.

After dinner, Chi Zhao found himself stopped by Wen Zhuang. Having grown up in the Wen household, Wen Zhuang naturally wasn’t a fool. His intelligence was there but his mind was just a little simpler than the others and he was also just a little bit too frank.

He controlled the conversation just right so that Chi Zhao didn’t feel uncomfortable or bored. After a while Chi Zhao and Wen Zhuang sat down together in the living room.

It was basically Wen Zhuang talking and Chi Zhao listening. A while later, Wen Xi also came over. She sat down furthest away from Chi Zhao but a few seconds later, she picked up her skirt and moved a little closer.

Chi Zhao: “……….”

Wen Xin supported her chin and took in this scene. She couldn’t help but smile, “Father’s temper has improved a lot recently.”

He never had enough patience to listen to Wen Zhuang talk before this but now he not only listened, he would also respond.

A while ago he had suddenly delegated his power over to his adult children. At first, Wen Xin thought the same as the others; she suspected that Wen Xijun may be testing them or wanting to use them but with the current situation here in the living room, Wen Xin felt that perhaps……..He didn’t mean anything else and was just tired and didn’t want to deal with so much work anymore.

Girls are always more meticulous than boys. Wen Xin recalled the moment Wen Xijun changed and expressed.

“Father…….actually cares about A’Nian.”

Clatter.

Wen Xin looked up and saw Wen Yu place down his chopsticks. He stood up coldly, “I’m returning to my room.”

Watching Wen Yu’s figure disappear around the corner, Wen Xin pursed her lips.

The people here weren’t stupid. Wen Xin naturally understood that their father wasn’t a good person. He had adopted them, but he didn’t give them the fatherly love other families would give. Their family was twisted and abnormal.

But an abnormal family was still a family.

Wen Yu stood in his room, looking out at the garden outside his window. During the day, the garden was colourful and gorgeous but at night, darkness swallowed everything up and all the flowers lost their original colour and shape. They were like monsters lurking in the dark with their fangs and venom hidden, waiting for the moment to attack its unsuspecting prey.

His fingers twitched. Wen Yu suddenly wanted a smoke.

Wen Xijun didn’t care if the others smoked or not, although he never smoked himself. A year ago, Wen Yu tried it. The feeling of the smoke passing through his lungs felt strange, but Wen Yu didn’t hate it.

He didn’t hate it but he also couldn’t say that he liked it. Wen Yu thought that since he had only smoked once, he wouldn’t be addicted but now, he even missed the smell of tobacco.

Humans are filled with bad roots. No matter what it was, as long as you tried it once, you would want to try it a second time, even if you already know that it can kill you.

Wen Yu raised his hand and looked at his palm, as if he was thinking about tobacco but also as if he was thinking about something else. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Wen Yu casually lowered his hand and turned around. The other party had already entered.

It was Wen Xijun.

The hands hanging by Wen Yu’s sides tightened a little.

After he entered, he took a casual look at the room and saw Wen Yu standing by the window. The room was too big and there was no light on the balcony, so he didn’t see Wen Yu immediately.

His line of sight landed on Wen Yu and Wen Xijun’s voice soon reached Wen Yu’s ears, “Come with me to Country Meng tomorrow. The Zhang Family has set the venue for negotiation there.”

Wen Yu looked down and didn’t speak.

“I’ll leave this negotiation to you. Do you have a problem with it?”

Please read this from kk translates

The Zhang Family has a similar status to that of the Wen family. This negotiation also determines the business relationship between the two parties for the next few years. The Wen Xijun in the past wouldn’t leave this matter to others but over the past few months, Wen Xijun had already done a lot of things he wouldn’t normally do so handing over such a task to him also wasn’t unusual.

But, did he really trust him that much?

The emotions in Wen Yu’s eyes were complex and difficult to understand. After a few seconds, his answer was heard, “No problem. I will complete the task you gave me, without fail.”

Chi Zhao had already turned around at this time. Hearing the last part of the line, his footsteps paused.

Wen Yu naturally noticed this short pause, but the other party had already left. Wen Yu’s gaze lingered at the place he was standing at just now.

——-Father…..actually cares about A’Nian.

Ridiculous.

Wen Xijun didn’t care about A’Nian. He actually didn’t care about anything; he didn’t care about the Wen Family, the children he adopted and even himself, he didn’t care.

He didn’t know why Wen Xijun had changed but he knew that these changes had nothing to do with A’Nian.

Wen Xijun this person……is completely heartless. Don’t expect him to care about anyone.

This line appeared again and again inside him, as if he as trying to engrave it in. It was unknown who Wen Yu wanted to warn with this line.

In the afternoon of the next day, Chi Zhao and Wen Yu boarded a private jet together. Country Meng wasn’t close, and it took more than four hours to fly there. The young master of the Zhang Family had opened a branch there recently and wanted to negotiate there. In order to entertain Wen Xijun, they also specially prepared their own holiday villa and programs along the way.

The person in power in the Zhang Family was still Grandfather Zhang, but the one working actively at the front of the stage was the young master of the Zhang Family. This young master was someone rich in literary and artistic skills and always treat entertaining others like preparing dates. The country of Meng, where Chi Zhao went, was a small and ancient country with very strong exotic customs, the most famous being the Red Moon Beath where you can admire the moon. As stated in the name, the moon was big and round and also a rare red colour.

Of course, that was only on certain days. Except for those days, the moon would usually be a pale pink.

The beach, the sand, the moonlit night and the pink moon, they were simply the best kind of setting for dates.

If he didn’t know that the young master Zhang was straight, Chi Zhao would have suspected that he was interested in him.

After all, this big boss’s body was still very attractive. Although he was more than thirty years old, he still looked like he was in his twenties and with his good genes, he had an excellent appearance and figure.

Among the children he adopted, Wen Mu was the most attractive. When he first saw him, Chi Zhao almost thought he saw a living angel. Wen Xijun’s appearance was just a little worse and Wen Mu and a little higher than Wen Yu who was ranked second.
