Black Man!

Xu Shan was completely baffled by her behavior. What was the big deal? Why be so careful?

She was inwardly complaining when she saw Zhang Lan seem to have finally made a decision, leaning close to his ear and whispering something.

Do you remember what happened on that desert island?

Xu Shan was taken aback at first, then nodded.

She would never forget what happened on that island, but then she looked at Zhang Lan with a puzzled expression. Weren't they talking about the president of S.H.I.E.L.D..? Why were they talking about that deserted island again?

"Do you remember what the two little girls called him?"

Although Zhang Lan only referred to him as "he," Xu Shan instantly understood who she was referring to.

After a brief moment's thought, Xu Shan answered.

"BLACK MAN?"

Zhang Lan nodded and handed the business card in her hand to Xu Shan.

Xu Shan took the business card with a bewildered expression and instinctively looked down to look at it.

This is the same one Chen Mo gave Zhang Lan on the plane today; she had already seen it before.

Looking up at Zhang Lan with a puzzled expression, Xu Shan found her looking at her with a serious face. She couldn't help but look down at the business card again.

S.H.I.E.L.D. Industrial Company, President Chen Mo, BLACK CHEN...

BLACK·CHEN?

BLACK CHEN!

Xu Shan looked up at Zhang Lan in surprise, and couldn't help but reach out and touch her forehead, saying with concern.

"Sister Lan, are you alright? You don't actually think this S.H.I.E.L.D.. president is him, do you? It's just a coincidence that the names are the same. Besides, the name BLACK MAN was just something those two girls came up with randomly!"

Zhang Lan slapped her hand away impatiently, glared at her, and said seriously.

"The name may indeed be a coincidence, but the person is definitely not wrong!"

"I'd never met him before, but he told me it had been a long time!"

Xu Shan looked at Zhang Lan with the same innocent expression one would give a naive young girl, and said with a hint of helplessness.

"My dear Lan, he's obviously trying to pick you up, he's saying that on purpose!"

Zhang Lan shook her head.

"No, the way he looked at me was different from the way he looked at those people. Also, try to recall his voice and build."

Xu Shan was originally prepared to retort that there are plenty of men who can act, and even though the other party is the president of S.H.I.E.L.D.., she couldn't let Sister Lan be so easily fooled by him.

However, upon hearing Zhang Lan's next words, she couldn't help but recall her memories of him on the plane.

She quickly realized the problem from this recollection.

I hadn't thought about it before, so I hadn't paid attention. But now, recalling the voice Chen Mo spoke when he got off the plane and his tall, strong figure, it instantly overlapped with that majestic figure deep in my memory!

Xu Shan couldn't help but look up at Zhang Lan and said uncertainly.

"Could this be a coincidence?"

Under her gaze, Zhang Lan firmly shook her head.

"These could all be coincidences, after all, we never actually saw what he looked like back then, but I remember his eyes! There's no mistake!"

The concept of eye contact is quite mysterious. Logically speaking, it should be difficult to distinguish between people just by looking at their eyes. However, in reality, if we are familiar with someone, we can indeed tell them apart just by looking at their eyes.

Xu Shan was now uncertain. Could it be that the president of S.H.I.E.L.D. Company. was really the mysterious man in black who saved them on the deserted island and killed several bad guys for them?

In fact, Xu Shan's intuition had already made her believe Zhang Lan's words, but she was still a little unsure. Looking at Zhang Lan's firm eyes, Xu Shan couldn't help but ask.

"Should we tell the captain about this?"

Zhang Lan thought for a moment after hearing this and nodded.

"If it really is him, since he took the initiative to exchange contact information with me, he probably didn't intend to hide anything from us. We can tell the captain!"

The two were simply worried about whether Chen Mo wanted his identity to be known by the other survivors. They had absolutely trusted each other, having gone through thick and thin together on the deserted island. At least, they had kept Chen Mo's existence a secret from each other and had never told anyone.

Based on Chen Mo's reaction on the plane, it was clear that he did not intend to hide his identity from them. Instead, he openly and proactively reminded Zhang Lan of his identity when she did not recognize him, and even left his business card.

That's why Zhang Lan told Xu Shan about it.

Not to mention that Zhang Lan, Xu Shan, and Zhao Jianmin secretly met up like underground party members, holding Chen Mo's business card and arguing endlessly about whether or not to make a phone call, on the other side, in the Chen family's residential area...

Several hours had passed since Chen Mo went inside. The people downstairs had initially thought that Chen Mo would be thrown out soon after he went in, but to their surprise, there was no movement at all after half a day. Some people guessed that Chen Mo hadn't even knocked on the door and wondered what he was doing in the hallway. Others guessed that Chen Mo had successfully entered the Chen family in some way and might have already persuaded Old Master Chen, which meant he had succeeded.

Many people wanted to go in and see what was going on, but Wade and Agent Zero were the two gatekeepers, and no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get in. In the end, they had no choice but to wait patiently downstairs.

This wait lasted for several hours.

"They're down! They're down!"

A person nearby at the stairwell vaguely heard the sound of people coming downstairs and couldn't help but shout.

The others quickly gathered towards the door, and began to discuss among themselves.

"Did he just knock on the door?"

"That's possible, otherwise why would it take so long to come down?"

"Perhaps they successfully became an apprentice?"

"If he succeeds, won't we have a chance too?"

"Stop dreaming. It's not that easy. It's not like no one has tried before. The guy who went up and knocked on the door got a beating and was kicked out."

"Sigh, Old Master Chen's fists are really hard."

"You should be content. Old Master Chen killed a knife-wielding thug with a single punch back then!"

When Chen Mo finally came downstairs, almost everyone downstairs gathered around, looking at Chen Mo with anticipation and curiosity as he turned the corner upstairs.

To the surprise of the people waiting downstairs, Chen Mo looked no different than before, his suit was neat, his hair was tidy, and he didn't seem to have been beaten up.

The next moment, when Chen Jingde followed Chen Mo down the stairs, everyone downstairs was shocked.

What's going on?

Is Old Master Chen going to personally kick people out of the building?

Still...?

However, when Chen Weiguo and his wife appeared the next moment, everyone knew that something was wrong.

The entire Chen family appeared and came out together with the young man who had gone upstairs earlier. What does this mean?

Has the apprenticeship really been successfully completed?
