Su Lin still trusted the three people's assurances very much.
Because all three of them have a maximum level of affection for him, Su Lin doesn't need to worry about them holding him back when it comes to serious matters.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have said it out loud.
"Su Lin, you must help her."
Su Lin stroked Lin Xiaowan's hair and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will definitely help her. After all, it's a collaboration."
Seeing that he had gotten away with it, Su Lin felt much relieved.
Su Lin didn't want Lin Xiaowan and the others to know about the grudge between Xiao Chen and herself. Knowing it would be pointless and would only cause them unnecessary worry.
As for Xiao Chen himself, Su Lin has plenty of ways to deal with him.
"Xiao Wan, Xiao Yu, you two go back to the apartment to rest for a while. I'm going to talk to Li Ziyu about something, and then I'll go back."
The two women naturally had no objections. Lin Xiaowan rolled her eyes and then said, "Su Lin, actually Xiaoyu and I can stay at a hotel."
"That won't do, the hotel isn't hygienic."
"Then Xiaoyu and I won't live together in the apartment," Lin Xiaowan insisted.
Su Lin knew what Lin Xiaowan was insisting on, so she said, "The youth apartment has daily rental rooms, you can just book another one."
"Why me? Why not Xiaoyu? Su Lin, don't you love me anymore?" Lin Xiaowan said angrily.
Su Lin looked at Xia Shiyu and asked, "Xiaoyu, do you want to sleep in a short-term rental room or sleep with me?"
Xia Shiyu looked at Lin Xiaowan, then at Su Lin and said, "Xiaowan... I'm sorry... I want to sleep with Su Lin."
Lin Xiaowan clutched her chest and said, "Xiaoyu, you really are a pervert."
Xia Shiyu blushed and said, "Xiao Wan, you know me."
"Hmph! If you keep this up, I won't go to a short-term rental room either. We'll sleep on the floor together."
Upon hearing this, Su Lin coughed lightly and said, "Actually, there's no need to sleep on the floor. The beds over there are big enough for three people."
At this moment, Zhao Yanyan spoke up: "Xiao Wan, what are you arguing about with Su Lin? Have you forgotten that you can meditate?!"
Su Lin: "...."
"That was too hasty!"
...
In a morgue in Donghai City, Xiao Chen and Zhong Shuhui stood in front of Zhong Xincheng's body.
Zhong Shufang looked at the charred hole on Zhong Xincheng's shoulder with a sorrowful expression. The surrounding flesh had been burned black and scabbed over, and his facial features were slightly distorted. It was clear that he must have endured tremendous pain before he died.
Zhong Shuhui's name sounds like that of a lady, but that's not the case. Although she was sad, she didn't cry like other girls. She just stared blankly at Zhong Xincheng's body, perhaps recalling memories of the two of them.
Xiao Chen's heart warmed up after learning that Zhong Shuhui was also a master of Chinese martial arts. This woman was so beautiful, he had to bring her into his camp. It was the best way to take revenge together. Otherwise, he would be alone and would have no way to deal with Su Lin.
"Old Zhong was entrusted by my grandfather to protect me. I never expected Su Lin to be so powerful. In order to protect me, he was ultimately killed by Su Lin's silver needles. I watched helplessly as Old Zhong died before my eyes. I'm so sorry!!"
Xiao Chen's apology was very sincere, but Zhong Shuhui did not respond to him.
After a while, Zhong Shuhui said calmly, "My grandfather was a Grandmaster, after all. He was killed, so the one who dealt with him must have been a Grandmaster as well."
Xiao Chen's expression was somewhat unpleasant; this was a fact he had to admit, so he nodded: "Yes!!"
"Judging from the injuries and your description, he should be a grandmaster of ancient martial arts. It's no surprise that such a person is highly skilled in martial arts. But my grandfather is dead, so why are you still alive?" After saying this, Zhong Shuhui stared blankly at Xiao Chen. She wasn't stupid, although Zhong Xincheng's death had greatly affected her.
However, Xiao Chen's words were full of loopholes, and she felt that Xiao Chen was intentionally leading her to deal with Su Lin.
"This... I... I was also entangled with a Grandmaster at the time," Xiao Chen explained.
"So you're saying you encountered not only a grandmaster but also a martial arts master. How did you escape with so many people? Don't tell me you were born fast," Zhong Shuhui said calmly.
At that moment, a sigh echoed in the room.
"I rescued Xiao Chen."
"Uncle..."
"Teacher Song, what's wrong...?"
Xiao Chen looked at Song Zhigang with some excitement and said, "Uncle, have you decided to help me deal with Su Lin?"
Song Zhigang shook his head: "No... I just came to see off Mr. Zhong Yicheng and classmate Zhong Shuhui. I didn't expect to meet them in this way. Please accept my condolences."
Zhong Shuhui shook her head and looked at Song Zhigang, asking, "Was my grandfather really killed by that man named Su Lin?"
Song Zhigang nodded: "Yes, he was very powerful. I didn't even have the courage to fight him head-on. I could only run away with your grandfather's body and Xiao Chen. There were other people helping us at the time, otherwise we would not have been able to escape at all."
"Teacher Song, I never knew you were a grandmaster. I never realized it when we were at school."
Song Zhigang laughed and said, "The truly great hermit lives in the city. If my father hadn't owed the Ghost Doctor a favor back then, I wouldn't have gone to save Xiao Chen."
Zhong Shuhui said with a wry smile, "My grandfather was only doing this to repay a favor. If it weren't for repaying a favor, he definitely wouldn't have bothered with other people's business."
Song Zhigang nodded; "Yes, it was all to repay a favor. I just didn't expect him to risk his life. Zhong Shuhui, I have to remind you, before you break through to the level of a terrestrial immortal, it's best not to seek revenge on Su Lin, because you will surely die."
Zhong Shuhui nodded upon hearing this. She was intelligent and knew how to assess the situation. Even Zhong Xincheng was dead, so going there would only be a waste of her time.
"But I won't let Grandpa die in vain," Zhong Shuhui said calmly.
Song Zhigang sighed: "I don't want to see you die so young."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen said, "Uncle Song, who said we're definitely going to die? So what if Xiao Chen knows ancient martial arts? I'm not bad at it either. I believe that if things are arranged properly, Xiao Chen will surely die."
Song Zhigang shook his head and was about to speak when his face darkened. He smiled bitterly and said, "I shouldn't have come. I didn't expect to run into you again."
"What did you encounter?"
Song Zhigang shook his head; "I really don't know what you did in Donghai, why so many people want to kill you."
Just as he finished speaking, an old man appeared at the door of the room. His aura was weak, and he looked as if he was about to die at any moment. However, Song Zhigang knew how powerful the person in front of him was. Behind him were two middle-aged men, a Grandmaster and two other Grandmasters. All three of them were independent practitioners without any affiliation.
Song Zhigang could tell that the three people in front of him were not the same group as yesterday, because they exuded a stronger murderous aura.
Such people are ruthless and cruel, living a life of constant danger. It seems that some people don't want to reveal their identities and have asked them to do something.
Last night, Li Ziyu and Su Lin both went up there openly, so it definitely wasn't him. It must be another group of people.
"Song Zhigang, the second young master of the Song family in Jingzhou? I never thought that you and your elder brother would hide in the East China Sea after failing to seize power."
When someone told him his home address so easily, Song Zhigang's face darkened again. "I didn't expect you guys could even find this out."
"Hehe... You've been in Donghai for so many years. If you're going to live a life of seclusion in the city, why don't you just stay hidden instead of getting involved in this mess?"
Song Zhigang smiled wryly and asked, "May I ask which family you come from?"
Do you think we'd say that?
The three of them were summoned by Qin Deshu.
Qin Deshu had been keeping an eye on Xiao Chen's information. After learning that Su Lin and Xiao Chen had fought a great battle, he was amazed, but his desire to kill Xiao Chen intensified.
Even without the Ghost Doctor personally taking action, he already has two Grandmasters protecting him. If he were to come to the East Sea in person, the scale of the operation would be enormous.
Therefore, he had to hide himself and prevent the Qin family from taking action.
We must also destroy the marriage between Xiao Chen and Li Ziyu, and prevent the Li family from becoming too powerful.
That's why they spent a lot of money to hire three people to deal with Xiao Chen. They thought that with Song Zhigang gone back, one Grandmaster and two Grandmasters would be enough. They didn't expect to run into him again when he came to mourn Zhong Xincheng.
"Song Zhigang, this is Donghai, not Jingzhou. If you leave now, we won't do anything to you. We only want Xiao Chen."
Song Zhigang said with a wry smile, "I promised an old friend that I would protect this child."
"Then there's no point in negotiating, let's go!!!"
"....."
The morgue is not large, but it's not small either; six people can move around freely.
There was no one else outside the morgue at this point. Qin Deshu had already made all the arrangements before he made his move, so everyone went all out and held nothing back.
166 Night Meeting with Li Ziyu [Please Subscribe]
While Xiao Chen was fighting with the Qin family, Su Lin sped straight to the Li family's manor.
Su Lin stood at the entrance of the Li family manor, slightly troubled. This manor was really too big, much larger than a so-called villa.
"The Li family is only a first-rate family in Donghai. If we were to imagine how big the major families in places like Jingzhou, Shanghai, and the capital would occupy, wouldn't they have several small hills?"
When Su Lin visited the Qin family before, he only saw the main gate and didn't pay any attention to how big the house was inside.
Now that he's arrived at the Li family's door, he doesn't know which room Li Ziyu is in.
Su Lin thought for a moment, and finally released a trace of Grandmaster aura. He knew that if those people were at the Li family that day, they would definitely come out to see him.
Sure enough, a minute later, Su Lin met the old man who was in the late stage of the Grandmaster realm.
He saw a hint of apprehension flash in Su Lin's eyes, but considering that Su Lin and Li Ziyu's relationship might not be so simple, the apprehension in his eyes dissipated considerably.
"Su….Su…..Su…."
Li Wendao was in a bit of a dilemma. Logically speaking, it wouldn't be a problem for him to call Su Lin by his name, who was such a grown man.
But Su Lin is a Grandmaster, so calling him by his name directly would be taboo.
Other grandmasters can simply add "old" after their surname, but Su Lin is only eighteen years old, so he can't be called "Old Su."
Seeing the old man's conflicted expression, Su Lin sighed and said, "Just call me Su Lin."
