The three of them returned home, but they didn't expect that Shen Wu was also at home.

"Grandpa? Why did you come back so early? Didn't you say that the company still has something to do today?" Chu Muxi looked at Shen Wu who was sitting on the sofa curiously.

When he got closer and took a closer look, he found that Shen Wu's expression looked very serious, as if he was angry with someone.

He looked at Butler Xu who came out of the kitchen with a teapot, and asked him with his eyes.

Butler Xu shook his head slightly at him, walked to the sofa with the teapot, put the teapot on the tea table, and poured Shen Wu a cup of tea.

Lynn and Abel also looked at Shen Wu worriedly, and Shen Wu sighed, "Sit down first."

Chu Muxi and Lin En looked at each other, and the three of them sat down around.

Butler Xu poured tea for the three of them again. Abel wanted to get up to help, but was stopped by Butler Xu.

"You sit down, it's okay."

After Steward Xu poured the tea, he stood behind Shen Wu.

Chu Muxi sat down beside Shen Wu, held Shen Wu's hand, "Grandpa, what happened?"

"The passenger ship that Mr. Chen was on was hijacked by pirates on the way back to the central star. Because the location was too close to the central star, just near the ETA P900 base, the garrison directly dispatched to try to rescue it. As a result, the exchange of fire between the two sides was too intense. Some confusion. During this period, Mr. Chen was unfortunately hit by a stray bullet, and the rescue failed, unfortunately he died."

Shen Wu opened his mouth, but didn't say a word.

In the end, it was Steward Xu who told Chu Muxi and the others what happened.

Chu Muxi paused, "Is it the old man of the Chen family, one of the eight great families?"

The eight major families are the eight families that the central star has mastered all walks of life, except military affairs.

They are Yue, Sun, Cen, Gao, Chen, Zhao, Jiang and the Lu family.

That's right, Lu is Lu Jun's acquaintance.

However, since Princess Nafu of the royal family married Lu Zhenbei, the status of the Lu family was above that of other families.

In addition, Lu Junzhi later entered the Imperial Legion and took control of the military power.

Although the Eight Great Families are still called the Eight Great Families, in fact, the Lu family has already separated from them and has become a higher existence than them.

As for the remaining few families, the Yue family, the Sun family, the Chen family, and the former Lu family were originally known as the upper four families.

The Gao family, the Zhao family and the Jiang family are known as the next four families.

Needless to say, the Yue family had a clear attitude and always remained neutral.Whether it is with the royal family or the parliament, they have maintained good relations.

As for the legion's affairs, it has nothing to do with it.

"However, the relationship between Mu Zikai and Yue Mingzhuo is here, and the attitude of the Yue family becomes ambiguous." Chu Muxi said, "There is also the Sun family, they originally supported the First Army behind the scenes, but I think , and now it’s almost on the surface. Senior sister’s family has been very close to Sun’s family recently, and it seems to be united. As for the four families of Chen, Gao, Zhao, and Jiang, I don’t know much about them.”

Chu Muxi looked at Shen Wu.

Shen Wu sighed, "Old Chen, I usually don't deal with me very well. In fact, the Shen family was almost the same as the Chen family, but later the Shen family had internal strife and something went wrong. The Chen family took the opportunity to become bigger, so they entered in one fell swoop." The eight major families were moved to four, and the position that should have belonged to the Shen family was squeezed away. However, I didn't care much about these. After your great-grandfather passed away, I only focused on taking care of my own business, and didn't value those false names. But Old Chen, he is a guy who speaks very badly but has no evil intentions. I know that although he has joined the Eight Great Families, he has never taken advantage of the internal strife in the Shen family to attack the Shen family."

"So he should actually be considered your friend, Grandpa? Or not your enemy's opponent." Chu Muxi nodded, expressing that he understood.
