"Fourth, are you saying this villa is yours?"

Cao Dayong asked in disbelief.

Chen Xiao nodded and smiled, "How about it? Pretty spacious, right?"

"Stop messing with me… this villa must be worth tens of millions. Where did you get that much money?"

Cao Dayong didn't believe Chen Xiao's words at all. He thought Chen Xiao had had a bit too much to drink and was just teasing him!

Chen Xiao thought about it seriously, then said, "Well, they say this house can sell for over a hundred million, so it is a bit expensive, but someone gave me this house. I didn't spend a penny!"

As soon as Cao Dayong heard this, he reached out and touched Chen Xiao's forehead.

"Fourth, did you take the wrong medicine, or did you drink fake alcohol… who would give you such an expensive house? You're bragging more and more outrageously. I'll get angry if you keep messing with me!"

Chen Xiao smiled slightly, "It sounds pretty outrageous, but sometimes, the more outrageous things are, the more likely they are to be true… Let's go, come in with me first, and I'll explain it to you later."

After saying that, Chen Xiao stepped towards the villa.

The two security guards at the door, seeing Yang Zhen returning, immediately straightened their backs and saluted, shouting in unison, "Good day, Mr. Yang!"

Seeing this scene, Cao Dayong was stunned again.

"This, this, this is actually true? This villa, is it really Fourth's!"

The shock in Cao Dayong's heart was hard to express.

He thought that through years of hard work and struggle, his life had finally improved a little, and he had bought a house and a car with a loan.

But compared to Chen Xiao, he even felt that life seemed to have become completely meaningless…

This villa was something he could never afford even if he worked hard for a lifetime, no, even ten lifetimes…

Following Chen Xiao into the villa, the shock in Cao Dayong's heart never stopped.

It was already late, and everyone had gone to bed. Chen Xiao took Cao Dayong to the basement. It was soundproof here, and no matter how loud they shouted, they wouldn't disturb others.

Chen Xiao placed peanuts, ham sausage, and chicken feet on the table. As soon as the Erguotou was opened, a strong, cheap alcoholic smell hit his nostrils.

According to the old rules, the two didn't use cups and drank directly from the bottle.

Without any extra nonsense, Cao Dayong drank half a bottle in one breath, picked up two peanuts, and threw them into his mouth.

Chewing, he said, "Tell me, Fourth, where did you get this house? I guess it must be a wonderful story. Coincidentally, you have a story, and tonight we have wine!"

"Damn, Third Brother, stop talking nonsense with me!"

Chen Xiao scolded with a smile, "It would be okay if you were a girl, but you're a grown man, what's there to talk about…"

After a moment of pause, Chen Xiao suddenly said casually, "I am Chen Laoda."

"Oh… what?"

Cao Dayong nodded, then reacted, the surprise on his face beyond compare.

"You are the Jiangbei underground overlord they're talking about? Chen Xiao, are you serious or are you kidding me?"

Chen Xiao looked at Cao Dayong seriously, "Do you think I look like I'm lying?"

Cao Dayong took a big gulp of white wine, trying to calm his nerves, but he couldn't calm down at all.

His mind was completely messed up, and he just kept repeating in his mouth.

"No wonder, no wonder…"

After a long while, Cao Dayong calmed down slightly, "What has happened to you all these years, kid?"

Chen Xiao thought of the hundred years in his dream and said faintly, "A lot has happened."

Cao Dayong sighed, "Alas, I thought my experiences these years were bumpy enough, but compared with you, I'm afraid they are nothing. The saying goes, 'One general succeeds on ten thousand bones.' You must have paid a lot to get where you are today, right?"

Chen Xiao laughed, "Third Brother, have you watched too many gangster movies? It's not as amazing as you think. If I have to say something, I can only say that maybe this is fate!"

Although Cao Dayong and Chen Xiao were close brothers, Chen Xiao still didn't plan to reveal some secrets to him.

After all, he hadn't even told his mother those secrets.

However, the more Chen Xiao downplayed it, the more Cao Dayong thought he had guessed right.

"Brother, you've suffered these years, but no matter what, you've finally made it! As your older brother, I congratulate you!"

Cao Dayong shook the wine bottle in his hand at Chen Xiao and took another big gulp.

Chen Xiao also raised his bottle and took a sip, and said, "Let's talk about you, Third Brother. Have you ever thought about continuing to be a doctor? You don't have to worry about money at all. I have as much as you need here."

Cao Dayong thought about it seriously, and from the look on his face, he was also very conflicted.

But in the end, he smiled and refused Chen Xiao's kindness.

"Fourth, you have your destiny, and I have mine. I appreciate your kindness, but I still need to work hard for my own life."

"If that's what you want, then that's fine. In short, if you encounter any trouble in the future, just give me a call."

Seeing Cao Dayong say this, Chen Xiao didn't insist anymore. Everyone has their own path to take, and he had no reason to interfere with other people's lives.

Giving charcoal in the snow is good, but there's no need to chew the food and feed it to others.

That night, the two brothers drank until dawn, talking about many things.

But most of them were reminiscing about the past, and Cao Dayong deliberately avoided mentioning some topics.

This also made Chen Xiao have more respect for Cao Dayong. If it were some other people, they would have seized this opportunity to climb up the pole.

Cao Dayong didn't do that, because he knew that in that case, he might be able to easily have a life of wealth and glory, but what he would lose was a good brother for life!

After drinking all night, Cao Dayong didn't wake up until the evening of the same day. At this time, Chen Xiao was already dressed neatly, waiting for Cao Dayong to wake up so they could go to the class reunion together.

Cao Dayong supported his head, which was a little painful after the hangover, and asked, "Fourth, are you sure you want to go to the class reunion today?"

"Of course, we already agreed!"

Chen Xiao looked like it was a matter of course.

"Okay."

Cao Dayong felt that it was a bit too shocking for Chen Xiao to attend the class reunion with his current status.

At this time, Chen Xiao suddenly said, "By the way, Third Brother, don't mention what I told you last night today, otherwise, I'm afraid we won't be able to get along well with those old classmates."

"No problem, by the way, Fourth, if Wang Dazhi also goes today, can you let him off the hook? After all, we're classmates, and it's not good to make things too stiff."

Cao Dayong asked tentatively.

Chen Xiao smiled and replied.

"Don't worry, Third Brother, as long as he doesn't come to me for trouble, I'll pretend that yesterday's matter didn't happen! Besides, if I had been serious with him, he would have been a corpse last night!"
