At this mont, Shen Shao was absolutely furious. He felt as though there was a raging fire burning at his Dantian, a fire that seed as if it would completely incinerate him into dust!
He had already found it unbearable when he saw Su Chen and Pei Man being intimately close before. After all, in his eyes, Pei Man had always been his woman!
But considering their special identities and backgrounds, despite the surging rage within his heart, he still forced himself to endure it!
But now, the two of them had actually gone to a hotel together!
What could they possibly be doing in a hotel? Even an idiot would know – they certainly weren't too tired and checking into a room to rest, were they?
Besides, everyone has a ntality that unconsciously skews towards the worst-case scenario. At this mont, Shen Shao could already picture the indecent acts the two might be doing on the hotel bed!
This had completely crossed his bottom line!
If he could tolerate sothing like this, could he, Shen Shao, still be considered a man?!
"Night Shadow!"
Shen Shao called out coldly.
Soon after, a door in the secret room of his study opened, and a man with an expressionless face walked in.
"Now, you may go and do what you've always wanted to," Shen Shao said, his face grim as he looked at the man in his thirties opposite him.
"Yes!"
The expressionless man imdiately answered upon hearing the order, his eyes gleaming with excited light!
In his heart, for that young man who had stirred up trouble in Yandu at barely past twenty, he felt unreconciled.
Because he too was a prodigious figure. In his thirties, he had already glimpsed that threshold that very few could see!
Although he rarely showed any emotions, such a prodigious talent was naturally proud.
He had long wanted to et that young man, to see if he was truly as impressive as rumored.
He had brought it up twice, but for so reason, Shen Shao never permitted him to take action, which also left him seething inside!
But since Shen Shao didn't agree, he could only wait, hoping that one day Shen Shao would give his consent.
Little did he expect that day to co so soon!
To be honest, for soone with his level of cultivation, logically, he wouldn't be serving soone like Shen Shao, let alone a Young Master. He should be serving soone of the stature of the Family Head of one of the Four Great Families, at least.
However, a few years back, Shen Shao had fortuitously saved his sister, and to repay that debt, he willingly served under Shen Shao!
During their ti together, he found that Shen Shao indeed had the makings of soone destined for great undertakings, so he devoted himself to following Shen Shao wholeheartedly.
"Night Shadow, safety first. Even if you can't take down that person, you must ensure your own safety," Shen Shao advised with so concern.
He knew all too well the value of a Martial Arts expert like Night Shadow – he was Shen Shao's trump card!
He would rather let go of Su Chen, his arch-nesis, than risk Night Shadow coming to any harm.
Therefore, for years, he had rarely tasked Night Shadow with anything, so no one knew of Night Shadow's existence, probably not even Grandfather Shen Mingchang.
"Rest assured, Young Master,"
Night Shadow still answered expressionlessly, though he didn't take Shen Shao's words to heart.
He never believed that the young man could pose any threat to him!
"The Late Stage of Qi Refinent Peak? Perhaps in the eyes of others, that is a formidable existence. But alas, I still don't regard it highly," Night Shadow thought to himself, then exited the secret room.
After Night Shadow left, only Shen Shao remained in the study. The image of Su Chen and Pei Man at the hotel kept surfacing in his mind!
Of course, all these were fignts of Shen Shao's imagination; the person tailing them couldn't possibly hear or capture the sounds and visuals inside a hotel suite.
Every ti he thought of this, his heart felt as though it was being viciously stabbed. He desperately wanted to stop thinking about it, but sohow, he couldn't control himself!
At that mont, his face was filled with murderous aura, as if he were about to devour soone!
But were Su Chen and Pei Man really entangled in a wild romp through the sheets at the hotel, as Shen Shao had imagined?
Of course not. The two of them hadn't even touched the bed. They just sat nicely on the sofa, and not even together. Su Chen was on the couch, while Pei Man sat in one of the armchairs.
If Shen Shao had seen this, one wonders if he would have been angered to death by his own stupidity, or if he should be relieved that the two hadn't done what he imagined.
At this mont, the two were sitting in a suite at the hotel, like old friends casually drinking tea and chatting.
"What do you think Shen Shao is doing right now?"
Su Chen suddenly asked with a mischievous smile on his face.
"Aren't you well aware of what he's doing?"
Pei Man glanced at Su Chen and said:
"You really are bad!"
"Where have I been bad? Pretending to be lovers was your idea, wasn't it?"
Su Chen shalessly retorted.
"But I didn't tell you to take to a hotel."
Pei Man joked back:
"Tell , how are you going to compensate for my lost innocence?"
"I do owe you an apology for this. You tell , how would you like to be compensated."
Su Chen smiled apologetically:
"As long as you don't ask to offer myself, anything goes!"
"Shouldn't that line be mine?"
Pei Man also laughed, then tilted her head to say.
"It's all the sa, all the sa."
Su Chen chuckled.
"Fine, if you really feel sorry for , then answer a question for ."
"Alright."
Su Chen nodded. He had already guessed what Pei Man was going to ask.
"Are you really planning to make a move on those major families?"
Pei Man looked into Su Chen's eyes and asked. In fact, she had sensed this when Su Chen suddenly proposed going to the hotel today. She just wanted to hear it directly from Su Chen.
"Indeed, I am starting with the business empires of the other Four Great Families in the next few days."
Su Chen said seriously:
"But don't worry; the Pei Family is already out of the plan and won't be affected at all."
"What, you're going to make a move in the business world?"
Pei Man was stunned. She hadn't expected Su Chen to take action in this arena.
"Su Chen, each of the Five Great Families has a business empire. Your plan seems a bit difficult, doesn't it?"
Pei Man said with so concern. Su Chen was mysterious and powerful, but his mystery and strength were unrelated to business.
Even with the addition of Belle Corporation and Jinsheng Group, it probably wouldn't be enough.
"Don't worry, there won't be any problems. This ti, those families will certainly suffer a severe blow to their Yuan Qi!"
Su Chen stated, his face bearing a confident expression...
