"Why didn't they knock on the door? What are you still doing sitting here?"
Lin Ruoxue couldn't help asking, her stomach full of questions and not knowing where to begin.
"Don't worry, let them wait."
Su Chen casually flipped through a magazine, seemingly unconcerned.
Seeing Su Chen's calm deanor, as if everything was under his control, Lin Ruoxue's anxious heart settled down a bit....
....
anwhile, at the Pei Family's estate.
Pei Zhennan looked out at the pattering rain through the study window's glass, sighing:
"It should all be over now!"
He had never dread that things would end this way!
It seems he really had aged, Xiao Man indeed had a better vision!
At this mont, he was certain that Mr. Zhuge had indeed been speaking about Su Chen!
.....
Ti slowly passed, the elderly n kneeling on the ground were already trembling, their white hair disheveled, tightly plastered to their scalp by the rain, looking quite disheveled....
After all, it was winter, and it was also raining; their old age certainly made it unbearable.
"Creak!"
Suddenly, a noise ca, and the villa's door burst open from the inside!
The elderly n involuntarily lifted their heads upon hearing the noise, rain running down their cheeks.
Su Chen quietly watched those kneeling on the ground, his expression slightly stern.
Following him out, Lin Ruoxue saw this scene and her eyes widened in shock!
These were the helmsn of the four great family heads!
They could be considered the most elite existences in Huaxia! Countless people worshipped them!
Yet at this mont, they looked like drenched chickens, pitifully kneeling in front of their own villa!
No, to be precise, they were kneeling in front of Su Chen!
What on earth was going on?
What had Su Chen done to make these old n kneel in a row on such a cold rainy night for so long?
"You may leave."
Su Chen glanced at Shen Mingchang and others, his tone cold.
As soon as he spoke, a shiver ran through the old n, a silent fear spreading throughout their bodies!
Because those words ant that the other party had no intention of sparing their family, which was exactly what they feared most!
Even Su Chun was no different; he might have killed his own elder brother, but he still regarded the family's legacy as the most important.
Struggles among large families were normal, even death was not beyond reproach, and he had no regrets!
But if the Su Family's lineage were to be severed on his watch, resulting in their extermination, he would be a sinner through the ages, without the dignity to et his ancestors after death!
That was sothing he couldn't bear!
"Su Chen, we accept the consequences of our actions, we only hope you will spare our family!"
Shen Mingchang said to Su Chen.
"You are not kneeling to . If you really want to spare your family, I think you know what to do."
Su Chen looked at them indifferently and continued:
"Moreover, I do not wish to slaughter innocents, but I will not spare anyone involved in the past. If tomorrow it's still just you few, then there's nothing more to discuss."
"We understand, and we will definitely give you a satisfactory response," Shen Mingchang said after hearing Su Chen's words.
"Bang!"
Shortly after, the door was shut, Su Chen wrapped his arm around Lin Ruoxue and went upstairs to rest, while Lin Ruoxue's heart was still filled with shock!
The events of this evening seed so abrupt, so inconceivable!
"Alright, let's not keep hiding things. If we don't want disaster to strike, let's play by the rules,"
Shen Mingchang said, standing up shakily.
The others also silently nodded their heads; they originally intended to take the whole bla themselves, but it was clearly not enough.
Then, a few elderly n slowly walked out of the neighborhood and had people co to pick them up...
"Husband, is it over?"
Lin Ruoxue asked from the bed in the darkness.
"It should be almost over, unless they play tricks," Su Chen's voice also erged from the darkness.
Was it really over?
Su Chen couldn't help but think of the na "Shengyi Gate" at this mont...
.....
The next morning, Su Chen and Lin Ruoxue were having breakfast at ho when suddenly his phone rang; it was a call from Su Jin.
"I'm here,"
Su Chen answered, and imdiately, Su Jin's voice ca through.
"Alright, I'll co out,"
Su Chen said and stood up.
"Husband, do you want to co with you?"
As Su Chen was about to leave, Lin Ruoxue spoke up, sounding a bit nervous.
"No need, wife, you better go to work,"
Su Chen replied with a faint smile,
"You've already helped a lot with this matter; thank you!"
Su Chen didn't want her to co because there might be so distressing scenes. After all, Lin Ruoxue was a woman, and it was better for her not to see them.
But Su Jin was different, her lifelong wish was to avenge her big brother and father; if he didn't include her today, she might never forgive Su Chen!
"Well, then, take care,"
Lin Ruoxue said hesitantly, always a bit worried.
"Don't worry,"
Su Chen smiled slightly and then walked out.
When he left the neighborhood, Su Jin's rcedes was parked nearby; Su Chen directly opened the door and got in.
Su Jin imdiately stepped on the gas and drove toward the northern part of the city.
On the road, the two were silent, not saying a word...
Soon, the car stopped at the bottom of a small hill.
There, the newly appointed family heads of various families were each leading two or three people, waiting there.
Upon seeing Su Chen, they all bowed their heads and dared not et the young man's gaze.
Su Chen and Su Jin ignored them and walked up the small hill, where the cetery of the Five Great Families was located!
Passing by the main gate of the cetery, Su Chen noticed there wasn't a single guard, clearly, they had been sent away.
The situation today truly wasn't appropriate for extra people to be present.
When Su Chen and Su Jin arrived at the Su Family's cetery, there were already people kneeling all over the place.
Aside from Shen Mingchang and four other old fellows, there were also Su Yuan, the Zheng Qiusheng couple, the Situ couple, the mother-in-law, and the old man in the jute shirt!
Seeing these people, Su Chen nodded slightly; this was right, it completely matched what Qin Ming had told him before!
Initially, Qin Ming had inford him that his father, Su Lou, was deceived by Su Yuan under the guise of a business matter and taken out of town, never to return—probably the work of this mother-in-law and the old man in the jute shirt.
After all, his father must have had absolute experts protecting him at that ti.
And as his mother was heartbroken, she lost interest in food and spirits. Therefore, the wives of Zheng Qiusheng and Situ, who were close to her at that ti, persuaded her to go out and relax, accompanying her.
In the end, however, his mother was severely poisoned and died not long after returning to Yandu...
