After he hung up the phone, he was about to head out the door.
Only then did he remember his predicament.
He was evading Master Lin's pursuit and assassination.
Master Lin had declared that today, he would take his head.
"I'm just going to the company once, Master Lin doesn't know that. Besides, this Jiangbei is our Chen family's territory," he reasoned.
"Cowering and staying at the Chen family's home isn't my style."
With that thought, he headed towards the Chen family's gate.
At the door, he encountered a guard.
A Chen Family Grandmaster spoke, "Young Master Renjie, where are you going? The Second Master ordered you to stay in the house and not go anywhere."
Chen Renjie said, "There's something at the company, I must deal with it."
"This... this isn't good. You'd better ask the Second Master for permission," said the Chen Family Grandmaster.
"This Jiangbei belongs to our Chen family, I can go wherever I want," Chen Renjie said loudly.
