Zi Nu stayed to take care of Xiao Hei, while Chen Benshuang left directly.
She had to pass the ssage to Su Yang, but she couldn’t contact him. The only thod she could think of was to get in touch with Lü Donglin to have him relay the ssage to Su Yang.
As Zi Nu watched Chen Benshuang leave, she turned and headed to the attic.
Upon entering the attic, Zi Nu caught a whiff of a faint fragrance that lifted her spirits.
This was the unique scent of the Black Widow. Zi Nu still rembered the first ti she t the Black Widow; she hadn’t even managed to catch a glimpse of her face before being intoxicated by the fragrance.
Even though she had beco the maid of the Black Widow, every ti she entered the attic, Zi Nu felt just like the first ti — filled with admiration and respect, as if staying by her side as a maid was the greatest honor of her life!
Unwittingly, Zi Nu had arrived at the entrance to the attic. She didn’t enter but instead ca to a stop at the door, bowed, and said, "Master, she’s been to the dungeon."
There was no response from inside the room, and Zi Nu continued, "Judging by her expression, she must have been greatly shocked; I guess she recognized Chen Pu."
Still no answer. Zi Nu went on, "She’s gone out now, and I suspect it might have sothing to do with Chen Benhao. Maybe even, most likely, with that Su Yang. Master, what do you think, should we..."
"No need!" A voice finally ca from within the room, commanding yet alluring, making one uncontrollably curious to discover what sort of breathtaking beauty the owner of the voice was.
"But, if she sses up Chen Benhong’s plan, then wouldn’t Su Yang be able to escape..." Zi Nu whispered, "Su Yang has already ssed up our plans twice; he’s a troublemaker and can’t be allowed to cause more chaos in the Capital City for long."
There was no response from within the room, and Zi Nu didn’t dare to speak further. After a long while, the voice inside finally spoke again: "Give him a week. If he survives, bring him to see !"
Zi Nu was stunned. The Black Widow actually wanted to see Su Yang?
"Master, he’s just a young fool; what rits or abilities does he have to et you..." Zi Nu quickly said.
"Are you questioning my decision?" The voice inside sounded displeased.
Zi Nu was startled and imdiately knelt on the ground: "This servant wouldn’t dare! This servant rely thinks that the man nad Su doesn’t deserve to et you!"
"Do as I say!" The voice inside commanded, and then there was silence.
Zi Nu bowed and backed out of the attic, walking outside before she straightened up. A look of confusion was written on her face; she truly couldn’t understand why the Black Widow would be interested in such an insignificant person as Su Yang.
But could Su Yang endure a whole week?
Zi Nu pursed her lips, well aware of the current situation in the Capital City.
This ti, not only had the Chen Family dispatched a large group to deal with Su Yang, but seven of the Ten Great Families had also gotten involved. It was safe to say that Su Yang had provoked widespread anger, with everyone in the Capital City searching for him, finding him was only a matter of ti.
And with so many in the Capital City set against him, Su Yang’s chances of survival, no matter how skilled he was, were slim to none. Surviving a week was simply impossible!
With that thought, Zi Nu allowed herself a smile, feeling she was perhaps worrying too much.
...
Chen Benshuang found Lü Donglin, but she couldn’t tell him the truth directly. After all, as a mber of the Chen Family, if she outright told Lü Donglin that the Chen Family might be attempting to lure out Su Yang, and if it blew up, she would have no place in the Chen Family.
Therefore, she had to beat around the bush with Lü Donglin.
In fact, Lü Donglin was an exceptionally astute person. She barely said a few words, and Lü Donglin imdiately guessed the Chen Family’s plan.
What surprised Lü Donglin the most was why Chen Benshuang would share this secret with him.
Was it possible that Chen Benshuang was planning to help Su Yang?
Lü Donglin pondered for a while. He really wanted to ask Chen Benshuang about Xiao Hei. But in the end, he didn’t dare to ask. He didn’t know why Chen Benshuang had co to find him, but given her previous display of hatred towards Su Yang and now her help, it was illogical.
So, he vaguely felt perhaps Chen Benshuang was being used by the Chen Family. If that was indeed the case, then he really shouldn’t disclose anything about Xiao Hei, which was Su Yang’s vulnerability. Until Xiao Hei’s situation was clear, this matter must absolutely not be revealed!
After Chen Benshuang left, Lü Donglin imdiately called Su Yang and relayed the matter to him.
Su Yang was also baffled by the situation. He couldn’t understand what Chen Benshuang’s motive could be, what sort of dicine she was selling in her gourd.
"However, one thing is certain, the Chen Family is definitely trying to lure you out!" Lü Donglin said: "What do you plan to do tonight?"
Su Yang thought for a while: "Carry on."
"Carry on?" Lü Donglin was startled, then laughed, "Are you sure you want to continue? If so, your actions in the Capital City are going to stir up even more trouble."
"The Ten Great Families of the Capital City, seven have already sent people after ; this matter is already big," Su Yang said coldly. "Given the circumstances, could I still hope for reconciliation with them? I bear them no grudges, yet they insist on interfering in this matter — I will stir them up into chaos!"
Lü Donglin pondered for a while, then smiled, "If you’ve decided, then I’ll lend you a hand tonight. Since I’ve returned this ti, you’ve taken all the spotlight. They’ve almost forgotten who Lü Donglin really is!"
Su Yang laughed as well, "With you stepping in now, how many people in Capital City are going to hate you to death!"
"Even if I don’t make a move, many already hate . But what use is their hatred?" Lü Donglin chuckled, "I didn’t co here to make them comfortable!"
...
At 10:30 p.m., Night Whisperer Bar.
This bar within the Capital City was considered upscale, where many of the city’s playboys liked to hang out.
Tonight, Yang Family’s young master Yang Chang brought a group of his frivolous friends to play here.
This Yang Chang was one of the group who had cheerfully looked on when Wang Hao was being beaten up by Wan Fei and others.
The fact that Yang Chang dared to go out and have fun at such a critical mont surprised quite a few people. Didn’t he know that Su Yang was targeting people like them everywhere?
Actually, in a room across from the bar, a group of people was quietly keeping watch.
The leader of this group was none other than Chen Benhong. Huang Mingshan stood by his side and whispered, "Chen Shao, the net of heaven and earth is laid out. If that Su dares to co tonight, let him die here!"
