Chapter 38: The Arrival of the Next Protagonist

"Wham!"

A resounding slap landed on Chen Haotian's cheek.

Chen Feiyu pointed at Chen Haotian's nose and scolded him, "Look at yourself, what kind of trash are you, and you still dare to be disrespectful to Miss Gu!"

Chen Haotian clenched his fists, wanting to fight back, but seeing the looks from those around him, he forcibly held back.

Chen Feiyu was a nobody, not worth taking seriously.

However, if he hit Chen Feiyu in public, he feared he wouldn't be able to explain himself to Chen Tianfang.

Li Yun and Chen Tianfang had just come out and saw this scene.

Everyone looked at Chen Tianfang in confusion, not knowing what he was plotting.

The eldest son had just died, and now the second son and the illegitimate son were starting to fight amongst themselves?

Chen Tianfang was also furious when he saw this. He stepped forward and sternly asked his two sons, "What's going on? What the hell is happening here?"

"Father, it was Chen Haotian who coveted Miss Gu's beauty and tried to harass her. To maintain the reputation of our Chen family, I had to teach him a lesson."

Seeing his father's anger, Chen Feiyu hurriedly explained.

"Stop talking nonsense here. You know very well what really happened. If you think you can frame me, it won't be so easy."

The Chen Haotian now was not the same as before. His patience had limits, and he wouldn't allow himself to be falsely accused.

Was this about Gu Yanran?

Li Yun, who was watching, noticed that they seemed to still be after Gu Yanran, which made him intervene.

"Ding! Protagonist Chen Haotian detected. Would the host like to see Chen Haotian's personal attributes?"

Protagonist?

This Chen Haotian is also a protagonist?

Li Yun was surprised. He had come this time to stir up Chen Tianfang's anger and make sure the Chen family and Mo Bufan were in a deadly conflict.

But he never imagined he would find another protagonist, and moreover, Chen Tianfang's son.

Interesting!

Very interesting!

System!

This guy has a system!

Chen Haotian's attributes even surpassed those of Mo Bufan.

However, this was normal. Mo Bufan had been a mercenary, and all his strength had been earned through his own efforts. Chen Haotian, although not spoiled, came from a wealthy family, so his strength couldn't compare to Mo Bufan's.

But having a system was Chen Haotian's greatest trump card.

The Invincible Magnate System only required completing daily tasks of spending money to earn magnate points and random skills or items. Magnate points could be used in the system store to exchange for other things.

It was like spending money without a care. For someone with no ambition, having this system meant they didn't need to worry about anything in life.

However, seeing that Chen Haotian's trust was 0, Li Yun could only think that protagonists and villains were destined to be enemies. This was the first time he encountered Chen Haotian, without any prior grudges, and already considered him an enemy.

In that case, there would be no mercy.

Even if he had a treasure, if he didn't have enough strength, it would be useless, and Li Yun wouldn't give him the opportunity.

Apparently, Chen Tianfang didn't care for this illegitimate son. With the death of Chen Feilong, only Chen Feiyu and Chen Haotian were left.

Who would inherit the Chen family's fortune?

An illegitimate son had no chance of inheriting, right?

He could use this.

"Yanran, what happened here? Tell us," Li Yun called Gu Yanran to explain what happened.

Without much thought, the supposed offense to Gu Yanran had to be a trap set by Chen Feiyu.

As a protagonist, Chen Haotian wouldn't do something so vulgar.

However, it didn't matter. As long as Gu Yanran pointed at Chen Haotian, it would be enough.

"I... I'm not really sure. This person suddenly crashed into me," said Gu Yanran, pointing at Chen Haotian.

"This is a trap! Chen Feiyu is framing me!" Chen Haotian yelled, glaring furiously at Chen Feiyu, feeling the urge to kill him.

"Frame you? You, pervert, tried to harass Miss Gu, and now you say I'm framing you? Want to turn things around?" Chen Feiyu continued, provoking Chen Haotian. If it were proven that he tried to harass Gu Yanran in public, his father would throw this bastard out of the Chen family, and he wouldn't have any competitors for the position of head of the family.

"Director Chen, I don't want to get involved in your family's internal matters, but if anyone dares to mess with my people, I won't show mercy," Li Yun said threateningly.

Hearing Li Yun's threatening words, Chen Tianfang found himself in a difficult position. Although Gu Yanran was officially just a servant of Li Yun, everyone knew she was his lover.

His own son dared to harass Li Yun's woman.

What is the most important thing for a man? His honor and his woman.

Although the two families cooperated for mutual interests, if this situation was mishandled, it could lead to a conflict.

"Chen Haotian, kneel!" Chen Tianfang ordered.

What?

Chen Haotian doubted if he had heard correctly. His own father was asking him to kneel in public?

Seeing that Chen Haotian wasn't moving, Chen Tianfang slapped him again and shouted, "Ungrateful son, kneel immediately, apologize to Director Li and Miss Gu, and beg for this stupid behavior!"

"You hit me? You really hit me again?"

Chen Haotian touched his face. Although it didn't hurt much physically, it hurt his heart.

Since childhood, Chen Tianfang had never cared for him. He treated him like trash. For the whole Chen family, he didn't exist. His two brothers treated him like a toy, taking their frustrations out on him. And Chen Tianfang, instead of reprimanding them, reproached him for not yielding.

Now, in public, his father hit him and asked him to kneel.

A man values his dignity. Chen Haotian refused to kneel.

Now that he had the magnate system, with infinite money to spend, the Chen family no longer meant anything to him.

"Chen Tianfang, if I don't kneel, what will you do?"

This time, Chen Haotian didn't lower his head, but directly faced Chen Tianfang, wanting to see what he would do.
