Chapter 95 Falling into the trap
Zhou Chen deserved it. After Zhao Kuo learned that Zhou Chen had joined the Wang family, he didn't say much. After all, the Wang family was so powerful that he, a captain of police, couldn't afford to offend them.

At night, Zhou Chen sat on the roof looking at the night sky. Zhao Yong came to him and handed him a wine jug. Zhou Chen waved his hand and said, "Sorry, I don't drink."

Zhao Yong reluctantly took back the wine jug and sat next to Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen opened his mouth and asked, "I heard that a strong man broke into the mansion last night, and a large number of masters were injured in the mansion?"
Zhao Yong took a sip of wine and said, "Yeah, luckily I was far away at that time, otherwise I would not have the chance to sit here and drink today, but would be lying in bed recuperating. I really hope he doesn't come again today. I mean that guy is really terrifying. Several seventh-rank masters in the mansion at that time couldn't stop him."

"I hope he won't come again tonight."

"But I saw your fight with the zombie today, and I think your strength should be comparable to his. If you meet him, he will be doomed."

Zhou Chen scratched his head and said, "Don't praise me anymore. So many people failed to keep him. How can I be his match?" After the two chatted for a while, Zhou Chen asked another question of his.

Zhou Chen moved closer to Zhao Yongzuo and asked, "Brother Zhao, do you know where the blood-clotting fruit in the mansion comes from?"
After hearing his words, Zhao Yong looked around and said, "Shh, this matter cannot be discussed in private, otherwise the head of the family will be unhappy. This is a secret in the mansion and no one knows where that thing came from."

"However, the Wang family in Qinghua County is only a branch of the Wang family. The real Wang family is in Wuan County, and it is one of the top forces in Wuan County."

Zhou Chen guessed, “In that case, this thing should have come from Wu’an County?”
"Well, that should be the case. Okay, let's not mention this matter again. A guest official once mentioned this matter privately, and he disappeared inexplicably the next day."

As for whereabouts, needless to say, it must have been resolved privately by the Wang family. Nothing happened tonight. After guarding all night, Zhou Chen returned to the county government office.

Ever since joining the Wang family, Zhou Chen felt something strange every time he returned to the county government office. Zhou Chen wanted to move out. He told Leng Yiyao about his idea. Leng Yiyao also felt that it was indeed strange to continue staying in the county government office.

It just so happened that Lord Xia returned to the county government office today, and Zhou Chen was planning to move out of the county government office directly after saying goodbye to Lord Xia. Although Lord Xia did not say anything about Zhou Chen joining the Wang family, Zhou Chen knew that he was a little unhappy from his expression.

Although this had nothing to do with Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen still whispered, "Don't think too much, sir. I joined the Wang family for a reason. It's not a real joining. I will leave them after that thing is done."

"Xiaochen, I want to remind you that the Wang family is not ordinary. Even I don't dare to offend them easily. Since you have become their guest, you must find a reasonable reason when you leave, otherwise they will not let you go easily."

Then he seemed to have thought of something and said, "But you are already a reserve member of the Demon Suppression Division. Although the Wang family is powerful, they dare not attack you easily."

After leaving the county government office, Zhou Chen found a small courtyard in the city. The rent was reasonable and the location was also good.

In the following days, Zhou Chen continued to guard the Wang family, but the man in black never came again, and the Wang family's night defense force was also weakened a lot.

During this period, Zhou Chen also asked several guests about the matter of the blood-clotting fruit in a roundabout way. Anyway, Zhou Chen was not afraid. Even if Wang Hu found out about it, Zhou Chen was not afraid of him.

After several days of indirect questioning, Zhou Chen actually found out something. The blood-clotting fruit was not sent from the main family in Wu'an County, but was grown by the Wang family in Qinghua County.

However, these few days Zhou Chen also took advantage of the name of night patrol to go around the Wang family, but did not find any trace of the blood coagulation fruit.

Zhou Chen began to doubt the reliability of the news. Just when he was planning to leave the Wang family, he got a shocking piece of news while drinking with a few guests.

Although Zhou Chen doesn't drink, he can still brag with them. It turns out that the living environment of the blood-clotting fruit is special. It cannot see the sun on weekdays, so the blood-clotting fruit tree is planted in a hidden secret room. As for the location of the secret room, no one knows it. Zhou Chen had to temporarily give up the idea of ​​leaving. In this way, Zhou Chen stayed in the Wang family for another month.

On this day, Zhou Chen received another blood-clotting fruit. According to the rules of the Wang family, warriors above the seventh rank will receive a blood-clotting fruit every month, while warriors of the eighth rank will receive one every six months, and warriors of the ninth rank will receive one every year.

After getting the blood clotting fruit, Zhou Chen did not take it himself but asked Leng Yiyao to take it again. After taking it, Leng Yiyao increased his strength by five points again. At this time, his strength had reached 100.

During this month, Zhou Chen had not heard of any zombies appearing in the city. It seemed that the previous one was just an illusion of the constable. Zhou Chen now roughly knew the location of the secret room where the blood coagulation fruit was hidden.

At night, Zhou Chen sneaked into the Wang family again in night clothes. Now the Wang family has returned to its former tranquility at night, and there is no special defense. Zhou Chen came to the Wang family's ancestral hall with ease, where the ancestors of the Wang family are enshrined.

Zhou Chen came to the side and gently turned the mechanism, then he saw the floor in the corner suddenly collapsed, and at the same time a downward staircase appeared in front of Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen walked down without hesitation, and after he walked in, the floor was covered again.

Zhou Chen walked down the stairs and soon arrived at the end of the stairs. At the end of the stairs was a large room with torches lit inside, illuminating the secret room.

After coming down, I saw a white-haired old man sitting quietly on a recliner, with dozens of people standing behind him, all with their eyes slightly closed.

Although the old man's eyes were slightly closed, Zhou Chen knew that he had been aware of his presence. Zhou Chen looked around and found that there was another door at the innermost part of the secret room. He thought that the thing should be inside.

However, with the white hair in front of him, it is not easy for Zhou Chen to get the blood-clotting fruit easily. But this is not important. At most, it is just to stretch his muscles.

"You're finally here after a month." At this time the old man opened his eyes. Zhou Chen activated his skills and looked at the old man's attributes. What horrified him was that there was a question mark above the old man's head. He had encountered this situation before.

The white-haired old man in front of him should be a warrior above the seventh rank, at least the sixth rank.

For a moment, Zhou Chen wanted to retreat. Seeing Zhou Chen's actions, the old man smiled and said, "Now that you are here, it won't be easy to leave, Brother Zhou."

After hearing his address, Zhou Chen no longer concealed the truth and took off the black cloth on his face, "It seems that you deliberately let someone leak that information to me."

"Yes, my Wang family never believed you from the beginning."

"If that's the case then why did you invite me to join?"

"This is also very simple, for the secret that lies within you."
