Three days passed, and Chen Jixian finally returned. Chen Gu sent a text message requesting a meeting.
Chen Gu had initially thought his older son might still harbor some resentment and be unwilling to meet, but to his surprise, Chen Jixian quickly agreed, replying with a message: "Liuhe Martial Arts Hall, 7 PM."
Chen Gu arrived at the martial arts hall on time. A young man in a dark blue martial arts uniform greeted him at the door and led him inside to a private training room where Chen Jixian was.
Chen Jixian had just knocked down his opponent. The opponent, clearly well acquainted with him, complained repeatedly that Chen Jixian hit too hard and that he wouldn't spar with him anymore.
Only father and son remained in the training room.
As Chen Gu was pondering how to start the conversation, Chen Jixian spoke first. "I'll be concurrently serving as the branch director of the Wuzhaoyin City Bureau of Mystic Security, and I'm going to recruit you."
