Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Chapter 316: Chapter 136 Peng Shizhong: Regretting Not Listening to 94’s Advice (The Drama Begins)

”Today’s intelligence has been updated (Level 2)”

At night, Chen Jie lay in bed, holding his wife, when he heard the system notification sound in his ear.

[1. Today you met Feng Xuan and obtained intelligence. Feng Xuan has been spreading words around the entire White Tiger Hall today. He intends to relinquish power and will no longer compete with you for the inheritance rights of the White Tiger Hall. Moreover, he has repeatedly stated that Jiu Si is young and promising, and will certainly achieve great things in the future!]

[2. Today you met Si Xi and obtained intelligence. Si Xi took the initiative to find Zhou Chu and has already handed over the significant authority of Peace Street to Zhou Chu. Furthermore, the manager of Peace Street has voluntarily resigned, and Zhou Chu is already preparing to appoint someone to take over this position.]

[3. Today, as you passed by the Spring Breeze Theater, you obtained intelligence. The original lead actress in green clothes at the Spring Breeze Theater was edged out by Huadie. Not long after Miss Huadie arrived, she met Peng Shizhong, who then promoted her to the position of lead actress in green clothes.]

[4. Today, you glanced at Huadie from a distance and obtained intelligence. Huadie does not like coriander, but Peng Shizhong likes it; therefore, Huadie told Peng Shizhong she liked coriander, even though she would vomit after eating it.]

[5. Due to your thoughts about the Spring Breeze Theater, you have obtained relevant intelligence. Tonight, Nan Batian will take Qin Ying to watch a play!]

Chen Jie suddenly opened his eyes, feeling uneasy about Feng Xuan’s actions, so he had specifically gone to the Spring Breeze Theater during the day and also met Feng Xuan, ultimately obtaining this intelligence.

Chen Jie looked at the information of the intelligence and frowned.

What was Feng Xuan trying to do?

From the first and second pieces of information, it was clear that Feng Xuan intended to relinquish power and was even spreading this notion everywhere, as if he did not care about the rights to the White Tiger Hall at all. But could this be possible?

Knowing Feng Xuan as he did, Feng Xuan valued the White Tiger Hall greatly, to the extent of openly harming his brothers. Now, he suddenly relinquished power and withdrew from the competition. What was he trying to do?

Was he trying to numb me? Or to numb my adoptive father?

Although Chen Jie could not decipher what Feng Xuan was really up to, he could sense that Feng Xuan was planning something big.

Then there were the third and fourth pieces of intelligence.

These pieces of information were obtained after he had glanced at the actress called Huadie from afar.

Speaking of Huadie’s appearance, in Chen Jie’s view, she wasn’t beautiful; she couldn’t compare with the enchanting Huang Wan’er or the pure Su Yunjin.

She wasn’t even as appealing as Cuiju, who had tried to seduce him last night. Huadie could only be considered of average appearance. Logically, such a woman should not catch Peng Shizhong’s eye.

As the head of a powerful hall, he could have any woman he wanted, yet he specifically favored an actress of average appearance.

Moreover, from the information obtained, it was clear that Huadie was intentionally getting close to Peng Shizhong.

Peng Shizhong liked coriander, but she didn’t; however, she forced herself to eat it with him every time, even secretly vomiting afterward, just to win Peng Shizhong’s favor.

Her intentions were indeed profound.

But Peng Shizhong was deeply attached to her, constantly promoting her. It seemed he was under some kind of spell.

What was she trying to accomplish by seducing Peng Shizhong so intently?

For money?

If it was for money, it wouldn’t be too concerning. A bit of wealth wasn’t important, and if it made the old man happy, it was good, but Chen Jie always felt that considering the effort she had put in, it wouldn’t just be for some trivial gains.

And the last piece of information.

Nan Batian was taking Qin Ying to a show tonight?

What were they going to do?

The scent of conspiracy was even stronger; Chen Jie always felt that something significant was about to happen, and it was most likely a conspiracy aimed at Peng Shizhong.

Peng Shizhong, his adoptive father, had always been good to him; he couldn’t just watch him fall into a trap!

He had to find a way to save him.

Thinking this, Chen Jie turned over, startling Su Yunjin.

”Hmm, husband, why are you awake? Are you troubled?”

Hearing this, Chen Jie said, ”It’s nothing; go back to sleep.”

Su Yunjin said, ”If there’s something on your mind, husband, maybe I can help you come up with some ideas.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie thought for a moment. Indeed, he could not just struggle with the thought alone, so he shared the situation with her, only he described the intelligence obtained from the system as information he had investigated.

Su Yunjin pondered for a moment and said, ”Husband, you’re right. This situation is abnormal.”

”But it seems like the root of the problem revolves around the adoptive father’s plans to see a play at the Spring Breeze Theater tonight. If you can persuade the adoptive father not to go, perhaps you can disrupt their plans.”

Hearing this, Chen Jie’s eyes lit up and said, ”Ah, that’s an idea! Wife, you and I thought of the same thing; it’s just that I’m afraid the adoptive father might not listen to me.”

Su Yunjin said, ”Whether he listens is the adoptive father’s matter; your part is to try to persuade him. If the adoptive father insists on going and it is unchangeable, then it must be fate. At least you can have no regrets.”

Chen Jie heard this and said, ”Mm, what my wife said is right. I will go find the adoptive father tomorrow.”

”Alright, let’s sleep, husband. It’s still early before daylight!”

Su Yunjin said, and Chen Jie replied, ”Mm, let’s sleep.”

...

A quiet night passed, and the next morning, Chen Jie had breakfast and then went to the White Tiger Hall.

Upon arriving at the White Tiger Hall, Chen Jie announced his presence and entered.

He saw Peng Shizhong practicing with a broadsword in the training field, his movements vigorous and robust, a clear sign of good recovery.

Seeing Chen Jie arrive, Peng Shizhong asked, ”Jiu Si, coming so early, something on your mind?”

Chen Jie replied, ”Oh, nothing, just came to see the adoptive father.”

”Oh, good, I’m free. Let’s spar for a couple of rounds.”

Peng Shizhong grabbed a long spear from a nearby rack and threw it to Chen Jie, who caught it and quickly said, ”Please be merciful, adoptive father.”
