After chatting for a few minutes, Su Chen drove toward the Imperial Garden. Suddenly, Lin Ruoxue asked:
"Honey, how co you are so amazing?"
Lin Ruoxue thought back to the scene where Su Chen fought with that old man, and even now, it still seed sowhat unbelievable to her, like sothing out of a movie special effect!
"Your husband has always been 'amazing,' do you want to give it a try?"
Upon hearing this, Su Chen once again revealed his rascal deanor, his eyes gleaming as he gazed up at Lin Ruoxue's 'mountains,' deliberately swallowing.
"You bad guy!"
Lin Ruoxue's face flushed red as she spat out the words.
Having lived with Su Chen for so long, Lin Ruoxue might still not fully understand him in other aspects, but she knew him deeply when it ca to certain things and imdiately figured out his dirty mind upon hearing his words!
After hearing Lin Ruoxue say that, Su Chen laughed out loud. However, at that mont, he was actually thinking about so issues.
If he humiliated these young masters today, he himself didn't have to be afraid, but what if those people beca desperate and tried to harm Lin Ruoxue or use her against him?
To be on the safe side, that sa night, Su Chen called in two Shadow Guards who were operating in Asia to Yandu, tasked with protecting Lin Ruoxue's safety in secret.
Of course, those young masters hated Su Chen to the core after such humiliation and couldn't wait to get rid of him quickly!
In the following days, Su Chen encountered no less than a dozen assassination attempts, each ti by at least two Qi Refinent Fifth Layer experts.
Dealing with these people was naturally not much trouble for Su Chen, and he showed no rcy. Since they were here to et their demise, he graciously accepted it.
However, in these dozen or so assassination attempts, the strongest expert sent by the opponent was only at the Qi Refinent Eighth Layer, and there were only one or two of them.
Su Chen found this situation puzzling. Although he knew that these young masters would not inform their families and would only use their own resources, the weakness of the people deployed still surprised him.
To be aware, these young masters could be considered key figures among the younger generation within the Five Great Families, and a few of them were even the potential heirs of their respective families.
Having seen Ye Zhiqiu, by observing the people sent by these young masters, Su Chen could roughly infer the basic strength of these great families. This was the real reason why Su Chen was so humiliating to those young masters.
But the subsequent facts proved to be a rude awakening for Su Chen. If these great families only had this much strength, why had he been holding back for so long? He could have just stord their doorsteps long ago, forcing them with power to reveal the truth about the past and avenge his family!
However, considering that these great families had stood tall in Huaxia for hundreds of years, Su Chen had a hunch that things were not as simple as they seed!
This unexpected situation did not make Su Chen relax his guard; on the contrary, it made him even more vigilant!
It seed he needed to keep applying pressure on those families to force out so things hidden beneath the surface!
Besides this annoying issue, there was still good news for Su Chen. After a period of cultivation, he felt that he was about to reach the threshold of the Ninth Layer of Qi Refinent!
If he had been in his manor in Jianghai, Su Chen might have already broken through to the Ninth Layer of Qi Refinent by now.
Once he reached the Ninth Layer of Qi Refinent, his true power would exceed his previous peak state, which was sothing Su Chen deeply longed for.
Since he had resud his path of cultivation, Su Chen had been eagerly looking forward to regaining his forr power, and even surpassing it to reach a higher level. Now that the day was approaching, he felt a bit excited.
"Right, about that matter from the past, I should ask that old guy Qin Ming to see if there has been any progress these days. That guy is as stubborn as a mule; he won't get moving without a good whipping."
That afternoon, after twiddling his thumbs in the office, Su Chen muttered to himself in thought.
Then, he drove to the Special Security Bureau, went straight in after notifying the guard at the entrance.
As soon as Qin Ming heard that he had co, he imdiately felt a headache coming on. This guy was like a debt collector, and what's more, this debt wasn't easy to repay!
But he dared not refuse to et him either; otherwise, this rascal might lash out and barge in, and where would that leave his dignity?
Monts later, looking at Su Chen who was lounging on the office sofa, Qin Ming personally poured a cup of tea and set it before him.
He then took out a pack of cigarettes, drew one out, and handed it to him:
"This is a new special supply tobacco variety from this year. Have a taste."
Su Chen chuckled and humd as he took the cigarette and put it in his mouth, and Qin Ming imdiately lit it for him.
"Su Chen, is the taste of the cigarette okay?"
Qin Ming asked with a smile plastered across his face.
"It's passable."
Su Chen nodded slightly.
After a while, Su Chen stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray, then took a couple of sips of tea and set the cup down.
"Alright, we've smoked and had tea, isn't it ti to talk about the important stuff now?"
Su Chen glanced at Qin Ming and spoke indifferently.
"Important stuff? Oh, right, right, the important stuff."
Qin Ming pretended to speak casually:
"I've mostly found those gene scientists you wanted; most have already gone to Jianghai, and there are two more rushing back from abroad. They'll be there in a couple of days."
"This task took a lot out of , I had to specially request intervention from higher-ups to get it done."
Qin Ming claid credit with a smile.
"Hmm, you've worked hard on this," Su Chen nodded, glanced at him again, and added, "Anything else?"
"Anything else? What else is there?"
A feigned expression of confusion appeared on Qin Ming's face, as if he was truly innocent.
"Keep playing dumb with , and see if I don't drag you out to the yard and 'enlighten' you."
Su Chen snorted coldly.
"You wouldn't do that to , right? After all, we're friends, aren't we?"
Qin Ming was startled by Su Chen's words and laughed sheepishly.
"You don't consider a friend anymore, so why should I still treat you as one?"
Su Chen spoke expressionlessly, but inside he felt pleased since Qin Ming's reaction indicated that he had found out sothing.
"You know, it's the business of the Five Great Families after all, and so many years have passed, it's really hard to investigate; I haven't got a clue yet!"
"Is that so? If that's the case, then I'm truly sorry," Su Chen stood up and asked, "Where is the broadcasting room?"
"What do you need the broadcasting room for?"
A sense of foreboding rose in Qin Ming's heart.
"Of course, to let everyone in the Special Security Bureau admire the elegance of their director!"
Su Chen's lips slowly curled into an arc, revealing a wicked smile.
"You're not seriously going to do that, are you?"
Qin Ming's mouth twitched.
"What do you think?"
The smile on Su Chen's lips grew denser as he teased Qin Ming.
"Fine, I'll tell you, I'll tell you," Qin Ming gave a resigned smile with his hands up, "You really got !"
