Chapter: 2838
Just when He Ying was feeling really upset, someone in the car shouted angrily, “The He family has made it clear that anyone who leaves won’t be allowed to return!”
Everyone was taken aback. They thought they could leave the He family and find better opportunities, but now it looked like they had made a big mistake. They were now considered the black sheep of the He family.
Far away, Old Man Su in Suzhou and Hangzhou was also feeling down. That morning, he had received one bad news after another. First, He Hongsheng had unexpectedly returned. Then, He Hongsheng became known as the top martial artist in China. The worst part was seeing something that once belonged to him become even better after it was gone. It was like a girl who once ignored her ex-boyfriend, only to find out he became a master after their breakup and married someone amazing. She might feel regret for a long time.
Although Su Chengfeng didn’t have any personal feelings for He Hongsheng, he remembered that He Hongsheng had once worked for the Su family, almost like a loyal dog. Now, he had turned against them and grown stronger. It was hard not to feel frustrated about that.
Su Chengfeng felt like the world was against him. He wanted to betray Su Ruoli, but she had vanished. The Japanese were searching along the coast, but they couldn’t find her. He also wanted to deal with Du Haiqing, but she had been rescued by a powerful stranger. Instead of protecting his family’s reputation, he had only made things worse. Now, he was known as a shameful figure, like a rat that everyone wanted to chase away.
And now, there was this new problem…
There was a lot of chaos in the He family, and it made Su Chengfeng very uneasy. His elder son and younger son had both gone missing, and the Chinese master who had once saved his grandchildren in Japan now posed a serious threat to him.
Feeling overwhelmed, Su Chengfeng sighed, “I’ve really messed things up. It feels like I’m constantly getting hit by falling rocks. There’s someone out there pulling the strings, and all I seem to do is lose. What’s going on?”
Just then, his phone rang, breaking his train of thought. It was an unfamiliar call from Jinling. He quickly answered, and a cold voice on the other end said, “I’ve arrived in Jinling. This is my new contact number. I’ll be here for seven days to find what you need. If I can’t find it in that time, I’m going back to the UK, and you won’t get your deposit back.”
Hearing the voice, Su Chengfeng’s excitement bubbled over. “Oh, Master Xuan! You made it to Jinling! You must be exhausted from your trip. Would you like to rest here for a few days?”
The voice replied sharply, “No, I need to get to work right away. Let me know if you have any useful information.”
Su Chengfeng quickly said, “Master Xuan, I have some updates. I don’t know much about this mysterious person yet, but I believe he is of Japanese Chinese descent and not very old—probably around 27. He seems incredibly strong, and I’ve heard even Japanese ninjas can’t take him on alone. Please be careful!”
The other person scoffed and said, “What’s so special about Japanese ninjas? It’s like someone boasting about defeating one. I remember a Japanese ninja who crossed me before. He was incredibly strong, and I knew I couldn’t beat him in a direct fight. But guess what? He didn’t see it coming. I used a poison I had prepared, and while he was asleep, he ended up cutting his own stomach with his own knife. When he died, his insides spilled out. They say his wife witnessed it, and she was terrified.”
Su Chengfeng looked surprised and replied, “I’ve heard that Master Xuan is truly remarkable. With skills like yours, I feel much more at ease. I’m looking forward to hearing about Master Xuan’s victory in Suhang!”
The other person let out a haughty laugh and said, “I enjoy killing people without them knowing. I especially love taking out so-called masters, watching them fall without understanding why. It feels powerful, almost like a god controlling everything!”
