We're practicing all martial arts, so why did you switch to easy mode?

Chapter 114 Perfected Internal Organ Refinement, Playing Tricks on Ge An

This is the third day that Cheng Zhuo has been observing Su Chen.

Nothing new; this guy's life was just as peaceful and boring as his life.

Aside from eating and sleeping, he spends his days reading and practicing martial arts. When he goes out, he always has a good meal.

Although the house he lived in was in a remote location, it was clear that he was not short of money.

He likes wealthy people who keep a low profile.

This way, he wouldn't cause too much trouble when he carried out assassinations.

The reason he observed for three days was due to his inherent caution.

In their line of work, if you're not careful and don't make thorough preparations, even if you succeed once by luck, you can't succeed every time.

If they fail even once, they will face utter ruin.

He once had some companions, but they all left this world due to various mistakes, leaving him all alone.

To be honest, he quite admired the target, after all, in today's restless world, there aren't many people like him who are so detached from worldly affairs.

You can admire it, but if you offend your master, you should still be killed.

Having observed Su Chen for almost three days, I have already memorized Su Chen's route and habits, and it is about time to send him on his way.

After all, besides this guy, there is another 'target' who is even more deeply hidden.

He had already obtained the names of the two men from the master's side; one was named Ding Peng, and the other was named Tong Bo.

Ding Peng is the man in front of you, but Tong Bo is very mysterious. Even Zhu Yan has only seen him once.

Fortunately, he knew that Tong Bo would appear at the beginning of each month, so he wasn't in a hurry. He decided to deal with this guy named Ding Peng first, and then deal with Tong Bo.

As dusk approached, Cheng Zhuo glanced at the sky: a waning moon, sparse stars, and no wind—perfect for taking action.

In the stillness of the night, the candle in Su Chen's house finally went out. Cheng Zhuo, who had been lying in wait for several hours, slowly got up, stretched his muscles and bones, and his joints made a soft crackling sound.

He changed into a set of night clothes, and brought along hidden weapons, poison powder, silver needles, and other various auxiliary items. His whole body gradually became swollen, but it did not affect his skills at all.

After making these preparations, he took three deep breaths to calm himself down, and his eyes gradually became sharp, like a beast that had just been released from its cage.

"Hmph, these petty tricks might stump others, but they can't possibly stop me!"

In a flash, Cheng Zhuoteng arrived outside Su Chen's courtyard. Looking at the crudely set up mechanisms in front of him, a look of disdain crept onto his lips.

These three days of observation were not in vain. Although Su Chen went out very few times, he used his professional knowledge and rich experience to memorize all the mechanisms inside and outside the courtyard and found ways to solve them.

To be honest, although he thought these mechanisms were quite inferior, Su Chen had done a decent job to this extent.

After all, he's a professional when it comes to setting up traps.

Having deciphered all the mechanisms outside the courtyard, Cheng Zhuo entered the courtyard silently, his footsteps light and without making a sound.

There were also traps in the courtyard, but they didn't affect him much. Before long, he arrived at the window of Su Chen's bedroom.

Even though he had already succeeded halfway, he remained vigilant and held his breath, not daring to relax in the slightest.

He took out a tinderbox from his pocket, poked a hole in the window paper, and inserted it. Soon, a faint wisp of smoke drifted out.

Cheng Zhuo only stopped when the tinderbox had burned out completely and the smell had permeated the room.

This thing, which looks just like a tinderbox, is an essential item for him in every operation. The light smoke inside is effective even for those who practice internal energy cultivation, let alone those who practice internal strength cultivation or ordinary people.

In fact, just a wisp of smoke would have been enough to knock the target unconscious, but just in case, he decided to wait until it burned out before making his move.

Entering the room quietly, Cheng Zhuo came to Su Chen's bedside. After only glancing at him, he struck Su Chen in the chest with a palm strike, the force of which shattered the other's heart meridian.

The more you prepare, the simpler and easier it will be to get started.

After hitting him, Cheng Zhuo placed his finger on Su Chen's nose and felt it for a minute. Then he took Su Chen's pulse for a while before confirming that Su Chen was indeed dead.

Now that the man was dead, it was time to loot the spoils. He searched Su Chen's room thoroughly.

After searching for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he only found a little over a hundred taels of silver, a far cry from the wealthy people he had imagined.

Although somewhat disappointed, he still put the money in his pocket, walked out of the room, and slammed the door shut.

Time passed by little by little, and a quarter of an hour had passed in the blink of an eye.

Cheng Zhuo, who had been holding his breath at the door and peering through the crack to observe the situation inside, withdrew his gaze and revealed a smile of accomplishment.

It was his nature; even though he was certain that Su Chen had been killed, he would still test him. If the other party was faking his death, he could finish him off.

Now it seems unnecessary.

Looking around, Cheng Zhuo lightly stepped forward, his steps swift and agile. In a few flashes, he leaped over the wall and quickly disappeared into the night.

He didn't notice that the moment he stepped out of the courtyard, a pair of extremely cold eyes slowly opened, and in the blink of an eye, she put on her clothes, went to the window, and watched Cheng Zhuo walk further and further away.

Three days ago, Su Chen had already noticed that someone was spying on him, but he did not take any action and pretended not to know.

The other party was really patient; they kept an eye on him for three days and three nights, never leaving his side.

Su Chen had originally planned to investigate who had attacked him after the other party left, but he couldn't find an opportunity.

While Cheng Zhuo was observing him, wasn't he also observing Cheng Zhuo?

Three days was enough time for him to figure out Cheng Zhuo's character.

This guy was more professional than any other assassin he had ever encountered. He was worried that the guy would rather die than submit and would bite the poison and commit suicide, thus alerting the enemy. So Su Chen gave up on the idea of ​​directly capturing the guy and torturing him to extract a confession.

He planned to wait for the other party to make the first move and reveal a weakness, and then follow the clues to find the real culprit.

Finally, his chance came; the other party made their move tonight.

Fortunately, the other party didn't slap Su Chen on the forehead directly, otherwise Su Chen really wouldn't have been able to keep up the act.

At that point, we'll have to start the second plan.

Just as Su Chen had predicted, the other party should have gone back to report to the person behind the scenes.

Without hesitation, it was Su Chen's turn to hunt.

Following Cheng Zhuo along the way, Su Chen noticed that Cheng Zhuo's route was quite secluded, and he would occasionally look back. Su Chen had to keep a certain distance from him to avoid being discovered.

Half an hour later, Cheng Zhuo arrived at his destination. To Su Chen's disappointment, it seemed that this guy did not go to find the mastermind behind the scenes, but went home instead.

Three days flew by.

If Su Chen hadn't been keeping a close eye on things, he would have suspected that Cheng Zhuo had left without anyone noticing.

Fortunately, this guy just likes to stay indoors and rarely goes out, so he hasn't disappeared.

After observing Cheng Zhuo for three days, Su Chen still hadn't seen him meet the real culprit. This guy didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, staying in his room all day long.

"You have patience, and I have patience too, so let's see who has more patience."

Another day passed, and Su Chen thought it would be the same as usual, but unexpectedly, a turning point came in the middle of the night.

Cheng Zhuo finally agreed to come out.

He immediately perked up and stared at Cheng Zhuo. The two were five or six hundred meters apart, and even if the other party had a strong sense of perception, he might not be able to detect him.

Cheng Zhuo remained cautious and vigilant as he made his way through the area until he arrived near a large mansion.

"The Ge residence? The residence of Ge An, the vice leader of the Six Harmonies Gang? Is he the one who wants to get me?"

Watching Cheng Zhuo enter the Ge residence, Su Chen's expression shifted slightly. He didn't remember offending Ge An. "Could it be because I healed Cai Liuhe's injuries that I'm being targeted?"

This is not impossible; behind power, there has always been bloodshed.

After a moment's thought, Su Chen followed and blended into the Ge residence, avoiding the guards, and found Cheng Zhuo's figure, crouching down to observe him.

Soon he saw Cheng Zhuo meet with a young man. The two went inside and talked for a while before Cheng Zhuo said goodbye and left.

Su Chen memorized the other person's appearance and was convinced that this matter was inextricably linked to the deputy gang leader, Ge An.

He then continued to follow Cheng Zhuo, and unexpectedly, Cheng Zhuo returned to his residence.

"Are you still a little worried, so you came to find out some information?"

Seeing the other party's cautious manner, Su Chen couldn't help but guess.

Half an hour later, Cheng Zhuo not only did not leave, but re-entered the courtyard.

Three days have passed. Logically, the body should have started to decompose by now. Even if the neighbors didn't care, passersby should have noticed the stench. Why is the courtyard still so quiet?
"Could it be that Zhu Yan doesn't know that Ding Peng is dead?" Cheng Zhuo wondered, looking at the courtyard that hadn't changed at all.

He quickly dismissed these thoughts, went to the window, and peered into the room. What he saw made his heart tremble.

"People, where are people?"

What about the corpse lying on the bed?

In an instant, Cheng Zhuo felt a chill run down his spine, cold sweat poured down his back, and a terrifying feeling surged into his heart.

"Who?"

Cheng Zhuo suddenly turned to the side, narrowly dodging Su Chen's attack. Looking back, he immediately saw Su Chen's figure.

"What a keen sense!"

Su Chen was slightly surprised, not expecting that his opponent could avoid his attack at such close range.

Without a word, he attacked again, his figure transforming into a streak of black light, his agile movements far surpassing those of a cheetah, arriving in the blink of an eye.

"Are you Ding Peng?"

Cheng Zhuo's gaze sharpened, and he spoke in a low voice, instantly guessing Su Chen's identity.

Seeing Su Chen's approaching figure, Cheng Zhuo moved with lightning speed, dodging Su Chen's attack.

Having failed in his mission, he was unwilling to get entangled with Su Chen and decided to retreat.

However, Su Chen clearly had no intention of letting him go, and intercepted Cheng Zhuo several times.

After being repeatedly thwarted, even Cheng Zhuo couldn't help but show a hint of anger on his face.

"You bastard! I'm not going to bother with a martial arts practitioner like you, but you're being so aggressive and trying to kill me. Even a clay figure has some temper. Today I'll show you just how foolish you were to provoke me!"

Faced with Su Chen's relentless pressure, Cheng Zhuo had no intention of backing down.

If the other party were stronger than me, that would be one thing, but the other party is just a martial artist who practices internal energy, yet he dares to be so aggressive.

Did they even take this dirty martial arts practitioner seriously?!

He was just cautious, but that didn't mean he wasn't hot-tempered.

He was already furious about the failed mission, and now being pestered by Su Chen made him completely abandon his intention to retreat.

Today, he really intends to complete a mission openly and honestly: to kill someone!

"Give me your life, Five Absolute Palms!" Cheng Zhuo shouted softly, and then his palm struck out like a dragon, the force swirling around its surface, with a faint light flashing.

Upon seeing this, Su Chen's body surged with power, and a tremendous force condensed in his palm, pouring out as if it were a tangible force.

The iron palm swung out, and even the air was compressed and hissed.

boom!
When their palms touched, it was like steel clashing, with sparks flying everywhere. At the moment of contact, a powerful wave of air swept outwards.

Bang!
A figure flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground. Instantly, dust flew up and gravel scattered everywhere.

"He was killed right away? That...weak?"

Su Chen stood there dumbfounded. He had only used 70% of his strength, so how could he have killed his opponent?

Approaching Cheng Zhuo, Su Chen reached out to check and found that the other man was indeed not breathing. His expression immediately changed.

Then strike the opponent's crown with a palm to prevent them from reviving from the dead.

"He really was beaten to death; it wasn't faked."

Seeing that the other party did not react even after his skull was shattered, Su Chen finally believed that Cheng Zhuo had been accidentally killed by him.

This left him somewhat helpless, as he hadn't expected his opponent to be so weak, unable to withstand even 80% of his strength.

"Fortunately, we now know the real culprit. You died a worthy death!"

With a soft murmur, Su Chen disposed of Cheng Zhuo's body, then returned inside to pack his belongings.

He's preparing to move to a new house again.

"This person has already informed Ge An of my death. If Ge An finds out I'm still alive, he'll probably send people to attack me again. I might as well change houses and temporarily mislead Ge An. Although I'm no match for him now, I can't let this grudge go unavenged!"

While in the library, Su Chen had specifically learned about the overall strength of the Six Harmonies Gang, including the power of its leader, Cai Liuhe, and others.

As the vice leader of the Six Harmonies Gang, Ge An's strength has reached the minor completion of Bone Forging, which is two realms higher than Su Chen's. With his current strength, Su Chen may not be a match for Ge An.

Regardless of the other party's motives for attacking you, if they dare to do so, you must bear their wrath.

He may not be able to take revenge on Ge An, but that doesn't mean he can't take revenge on Ge An's family.

For example, Ge An's son, Ge Honghui!

After packing his things, Su Chen left. He didn't immediately look for an inn to stay at, but instead went to Cheng Zhuo's house first.

In just three days, he had already figured out Cheng Zhuo's home.

"This guy's mechanism design is quite ingenious; it's mine now."

Avoiding the traps in Cheng Zhuo's house, Su Chen entered and turned the room upside down, but found nothing.

Some people like to carry important items with them, while others prefer to hide them.

The former, murder and looting, is straightforward; the latter, the difficulty varies depending on the circumstances.

Cheng Zhuo is the latter, and his task is very difficult.

Aside from some hidden weapons and tinder, Su Chen didn't find a single penny on him.

Their home was also extremely poor.

He knew that Cheng Zhuo had hidden these things, but he didn't know where he had hidden them.

The other party was very well hidden. He had been observing for three days and still didn't know anything. Finding them was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Helpless, Su Chen had no choice but to give up and leave dejectedly.

The next day.

Su Chen found a new house and settled down temporarily.

He also found out information about the person who had contacted Cheng Zhuo last time, and as expected, it was Ge An's son, Ge Honghui.

After observing the other party for only two days, Su Chen found a way to deal with him.

Like other spoiled young masters, Ge Honghui spent his days either frequenting brothels or indulging in music and entertainment.

They lived a very carefree life.

Every evening he would leave the Ge residence to seek out women and pleasures.

Su Chen planned to make his move at this time.

Nowadays.

Ge Honghui left a little late. He led a group of guards to take a shortcut, hoping to get to the brothel as quickly as possible.

This was convenient for Su Chen.

Taking advantage of the absence of others, Su Chen made his move and easily eliminated Ge Honghui's guards.

"I am the son of the vice leader of the Six Harmonies Gang. Don't make a move yet. Let's talk things over. There's no need to resort to knives and guns."

Ge Honghui was horrified by the tragic death of his subordinate, but he did not completely test the limits and quickly calmed down to negotiate with Su Chen.

“Someone paid me to kill you,” Su Chen said hoarsely.

"Who?" Ge Honghui's expression changed slightly, and he quickly said, "Sir, no matter who pays, I am willing to pay double the price, please let me go."

"Hand over all your treasures, and if you satisfy me, I'll let you go," Su Chen said.

Upon hearing this, Ge Honghui hurriedly took out all his belongings, wishing he could strip off all his clothes.

"Here are two thousand taels of silver notes, four Qi and Blood Pills, and a fan worth five hundred taels... May I inform my family so they can pay my ransom?"

Looking at all his belongings, Ge Honghui forced a smile that looked more like a grimace and said awkwardly.

"No need."

Su Chen shook his head, instantly appeared in front of Ge Honghui, and struck out with a palm.

Before he could strike Ge Honghui, a sudden change occurred.

A fierce glint flashed across Ge Honghui's face, and dozens of silver needles shot out from the folding fan in his hand in an instant.

shhhhhh!
The silver needles flew like shuttles, swift as a startled swan, shooting in like a tidal wave.

Taking advantage of this gap, Ge Honghui leaped up from the ground, moved swiftly, and turned to run.

Ding Ding Ding!
Su Chen was not afraid at all. With quick eyes and hands, he blocked all the silver needles. Then, with a backhand throw, dozens of silver needles turned into a long drizzle, spreading out and shooting out like a rain of pear blossom needles.

"what……"

Caught off guard, Ge Honghui had no chance to dodge and was directly hit by the silver needle, which pierced through his body.

Su Chen watched quietly as Ge Honghui breathed his last, then picked up a stone and kicked it. Instantly, the sound of bones breaking rang out.

After doing all this, he didn't even look at the other person, and bent down to put away the money and pills.

After searching him thoroughly and confirming that Ge Honghui was not lying, he left.

The Ge Mansion at night.

The place was brightly lit and bustling with activity, yet it was filled with a suffocating atmosphere, like a mountain pressing down on everyone's hearts.

"Who did it?"

As Ge An stared at Ge Honghui's corpse, his facial muscles twitched, veins bulged, and his deep voice betrayed his impending rage.

"Say!"

Suddenly, Ge An grabbed one of the guards, his eyes wide with fury, and asked, "Master, I...I don't know!"

Click.

"If you don't know, then die!" Ge An snapped the guard's neck. His only child was dead, which nearly drove him to madness.

His burning rage and overwhelming killing intent terrified the guards present, making them tremble with fear.

"My son, my son, you died such a terrible death!"

At this moment, a mournful sound rang out, and a slightly plump woman walked over quickly. When she saw Ge Honghui's corpse, she almost fainted.

"Madame, madam..."

The maids around her quickly helped the woman up. The lady looked at Ge An and cried out in a hoarse voice, "Who? Who did it? I'll kill him, kill him..."

After the woman's outburst, Ge An calmed down a bit and said with a stern face, "Take the lady away."

"Yes!"

The maids retreated tremblingly.

"No matter who it is, I will find the murderer and tear him to pieces to avenge you!"

Ge An stared sadly at Ge Honghui's corpse, a deep anger gradually filling his pupils.

The events that occurred at the Ge residence quickly reached the ears of the other factions.

Upon hearing this news, many people were shocked, never expecting that someone would dare to target Ge Honghui.

Ge An only had this one son. Killing Ge Honghui would be tantamount to cutting off the Ge family line, and he would inevitably have to bear Ge An's raging wrath.

Everyone understood this principle, so they all instructed their subordinates not to provoke the Ge family during this period.

Of course, there are also those who stand by and watch, not intending to get involved.

Amidst the turmoil outside, Su Chen sat back and watched the clouds drift by, finding joy and contentment in his surroundings.

Ge An frantically searched for the murderer, and the search unwittingly spread to the market town where he lived, but it didn't have much impact on him.

Even the Six Harmonies Gang couldn't control everything in Dafeng City, let alone Ge An; he's all bark and no bite.

However, Ge An's riot did make Su Chen feel a sense of urgency.

It won't be long before Ge An learns of Cheng Zhuo's death, and even if he's stupid, he might still connect the two events.

If there is even the slightest connection, the other party will definitely become suspicious, and might even suspect 'Tong Bo'.

After all, Ge An already knew about Ding Peng's death, and it was only right for Tong Bo, as Ding Peng's friend, to avenge him.

Su Chen wasn't worried that Ge An would find out the whole story, but rather that the other party would find him beforehand.

After all, his strength has not improved yet, so it is not advisable for him to fight Ge An.

"However, it's almost the end of the month. Once I get the Qi and Blood Pill from Cai Xiaoyue, I might have a chance to improve."

Of course, just in case, Su Chen did not plan to show himself this time.

Time flies, and the end of the month is here in the blink of an eye.

At the Cai residence, Zhu Yan had just finished his work when he suddenly heard a sound coming from the sky, followed by a crumpled piece of paper landing in front of him.

He picked up the crumpled paper and looked at it; his pupils immediately contracted.

……

Qingpingfang.

Zhu Yan didn't take the main road, but instead went along the alley to Su Chen's second house.

He was a little confused, wondering why Su Chen had told him to carry the Qi and Blood Pill with him and deliberately made him take the back path.

"Benefactor?"

Not long after they walked, Zhu Yan suddenly saw a homosexual man waving at him from around the corner. He immediately recognized him as Su Chen.

With a look of delight, Zhu Yan hurriedly went over to meet Su Chen.

"My benefactor, why are you dressed like this again? Are you going to 'punish evil and promote good'?"

Zhu Yan asked curiously, recalling that Su Chen had worn this outfit when he took on missions to kill people, and now he was dressed like this again, which inevitably made him think of something similar.

Su Chen shook his head without answering, and instead asked, "Did you bring the Qi and Blood Pill?"

"Here you go." Zhu Yan handed a large bottle of Qi and Blood Pills to Su Chen. "Twenty pills in total!"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen frowned slightly. Twenty pills weren't enough; he was still five pills short of the Invincible Shirt skill!

Seeing Su Chen's troubled expression, Zhu Yan asked, "My benefactor, what happened?"

He felt that Su Chen's behavior today was a bit strange. He seemed to have something important to do, but Su Chen was very cautious, as if he was worried about something.

"It's nothing. By the way, I'm going on a long trip for a while, and I'm not sure when I'll be back. If you get any Qi and Blood Pills later, please keep them for me. Also, if Tong Bo doesn't pick them up at the beginning of the month, please keep them for him as well." Su Chen gave these instructions and then prepared to take his leave.

Zhu Yan opened his mouth as if he wanted to ask something, but seeing Su Chen's solemn expression, he had no choice but to shut up.

Moreover, Su Chen didn't give him a chance to ask questions.

"Could it be that my benefactor has encountered some kind of problem?"

Watching Su Chen leave, Zhu Yan pondered, having already decided to ask Cai Xiaoyue to help investigate when he returned.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yan quickened his pace to return.

A pair of discreet eyes were observing everything that had just happened from a hundred meters away.

Only after Zhu Yan left did the man withdraw his gaze and prepare to follow.

"what!"

But as soon as he turned around, he suddenly saw a man standing behind him. Upon closer inspection, he recognized him as the man who had just been talking to Zhu Yan.

"Are you out of your mind? Standing behind someone in broad daylight and scaring them like that! I'll kill you!"

The man's pupils contracted, but he quickly calmed down, looked at Su Chen with displeasure, and scolded him.

Su Chen looked at the man with a half-smile, without responding, and instead slapped him across the face.

After an unknown amount of time, the man awoke from his daze and saw Su Chen calmly drinking tea.

Su Chen noticed the man had woken up, approached him, his eyes flashing, and said, "I ask, you answer. Say more, say less, and if you say the wrong thing, you die! Understand?"

"Mmm-hmm-hmm!" The man's mouth was stuffed up, and after hearing Su Chen's words, he nodded hurriedly to show that he understood.

Su Chen wasn't worried that the man would try to cheat. He removed the rag from the man's mouth and asked, "Who told you to follow Zhu Yan?"

"This……"

stab.

"what……"

The dagger pierced the man's thigh, and he screamed in agony. Su Chen said calmly, "Hesitate once, then it's one strike!"

"Yes, they are from the Ge family!" the man said through gritted teeth, his eyes filled with fear, terrified by Su Chen's brutal interrogation.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen was not surprised; he had already guessed that the man was a spy planted by the Ge family in the Liuhe Gang.

"Who specifically?"

"Yes, the head steward of the Ge family."

What is the purpose of following Zhu Yan?

"Observe who Zhu Yan has been in contact with. Once it is discovered that Zhu Yan has left the mansion, immediately notify the Ge family."

"You've already notified them?"

"Ah."

Where will you meet?

"exist……"

I asked several questions in succession, and the other party answered truthfully, not daring to hide anything.

However, this person didn't know much, not even why he was following Zhu Yan; he only knew that he was acting on orders.

Click.

Under the man's anxious gaze, Su Chen ended his life.

"We're still short five Qi and Blood Pills. We can take the risk, but it all depends on how much Ge An loves Ge Honghui!"

Although he didn't get much useful information from the man, his words gave Su Chen some inspiration.

Rather than hiding like this, we might as well take a risk and maybe find an opportunity to deal with Ge An.

While pondering, Su Chen made a decision. He took out a Qi and Blood Pill from his pocket, swallowed it, and then headed to the meeting place the man had mentioned.

After an incense stick had burned, Su Chen met the people from the Ge family in a secluded alley. The people there looked anxious.

After receiving the man's message, he rushed to the location, but when he arrived, the man did not appear.

He naturally didn't know that the man had been killed by Su Chen. This road was just a section that Zhu Yan had passed through before, and there were no marks left by the man. At this moment, he was like a headless fly, and dared not make any rash moves.

After glancing at the other man a few times, Su Chen captured him and interrogated him in the same way. He was much tougher than the previous man, but he didn't hold out for long before giving in.

After getting the information he wanted, Su Chen gave him a quick answer.

Over the next few days, Su Chen kept a close eye on the Ge family's movements. As time went on and the Ge family failed to find the murderer, Ge An's anger grew stronger.

The entire Ge family mansion was under a heavy, oppressive atmosphere every day. The guards in the mansion went out early and returned late every day, but even so, they could not hide Ge An's anger that had nowhere to be vented.

Ge An, who lost Ge Honghui, wanted nothing more than to turn Dafeng City upside down to find the murderer.

Therefore, Ge An directly stated his conditions: he would agree to any condition as long as someone could provide information about the murderer.

"Driven by revenge, Ge An is like a mad dog!"

Su Chen muttered to himself, a smile playing on his lips. The opportunity he had been waiting for so long had finally arrived.

Ge An wanted revenge, so he would offer himself up and see if the other party had the ability to find out.

That night.

The guards stood anxiously, each with a weary expression, yet none dared to relax for a moment.

If discovered by Ge An, they would be crippled at best, and killed at worst. No matter how exhausted they were, no one dared to risk their life.

"Useless, useless, they're all a bunch of useless trash..."

Ge An roared angrily, his voice echoing throughout the courtyard and seemingly audible across the street.

In his rage, his face contorted with murderous intent, he looked at everyone with intense displeasure, wishing he could kill them all to vent his fury.

But his remaining rationality told him that even if he did that, it would be futile. If the murderer were so easy to find, there wouldn't have been no news for so long.

"Master, there's someone at the door. He... he says he knows the information you want..."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Ge An strode to the servant, glaring at him with his fierce eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Bring him in!"

A moment later, a servant led in a tall, homosexual man.

Ge An's cold, sharp eyes fell on Su Chen, and an undisguised sense of oppression swept over him, as if it wanted to devour Su Chen.

Su Chen remained calm and composed, unmoved by the pressure.

"You say you know who killed my son? Do you know the consequences of deceiving me?" Ge An said, each word uttered with extreme coldness.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen nodded slightly.

"where is he?"

Upon seeing this, Ge An's pupils suddenly contracted. Despite his best efforts to suppress it, Su Chen could still detect a fleeting emotional fluctuation in his voice.

He sneered, "How could the vice leader of the Six Harmonies Gang ask such a stupid question?"

"Hmm?" Ge An didn't speak, his icy eyes fixed on Su Chen, then he shouted, "Since you won't talk, then I'll see how stubborn your mouth is!"

Before he could finish speaking, Ge An suddenly attacked, his entire body transforming into a blur as he hurtled forward.

Su Chen's eyes flashed as he met the opponent's attack head-on. After exchanging several blows, he retreated to create distance and said, "Since Vice Gang Leader Ge is unwilling to make a deal, then I will take my leave."

Upon hearing this, Ge An stopped what he was doing and forced a smile: "What do you want? Please tell me directly."

"One hundred Qi and Blood Pills, one hundred Profound Origin Pills!" Su Chen blurted out.

"Are you perhaps playing a trick on me?" Ge An frowned, looking at Su Chen with displeasure, his voice carrying a hint of killing intent.

One hundred Qi and Blood Pills?
This almost killed him!

One hundred Xuan Yuan Pills?
This is the amount that would cost him his life, and he might not even get it.

Su Chen made such an outrageous demand right away, making it hard for him not to suspect that the other party was toying with him.

"I thought Vice Chief Ge truly loved his son and was willing to agree to any conditions. I never expected that I underestimated his affection for his son," Su Chen sneered sarcastically.

Ge An's skin twitched, and he saw the guard beside him and felt a chill run down his spine. Could this guy not watch his mouth?

After his expression changed for a moment, Ge An suddenly snorted coldly and stated his condition: "Thirty Qi and Blood Pills!"

"Forget it, no discussion!"

After saying that, Su Chen was about to leave, but the next moment, Ge An suddenly stopped him.

"What, is Vice Chief Ge planning to make a move?" Su Chen sneered, showing no fear.

Ge An's expression changed slightly. He did have the idea of ​​making a move, but he was not sure about the other party's background. After hearing this, he said in a deep voice, "Thirty Qi and Blood Pills, plus thirty thousand taels of silver."

He paused, then added coldly, "Thirty thousand taels of silver is enough for you to buy a hundred Qi and Blood Pills. Don't push your luck!"

"There are still one hundred Profound Origin Pills left!" Su Chen reminded him.

"The Xuan Yuan Pill is only possessed by people from the Xuan Shui Sect; no one else has it, and I have no way to get it for you!" Ge An gave Su Chen a deep look and said slowly.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen stared at Ge An for a long time before nodding and saying, "Deal!"

"Thirty Qi and Blood Pills. I can only give you half for now. I'll give you the other half after I capture and kill the murderer!"

Ge An spoke again, his tone slightly more gentle, but still cold.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen smiled and said, "Okay, but I can only tell you the murderer's location in seven days."

Are you playing me again?

Ge An's eyes narrowed, his gaze sharp as knives, a murderous intent flashing within him, and his body surged with power, as if he might strike at any moment.

"Let's just discuss the matter at hand," Su Chen chuckled, unmoved.

No one spoke, and the atmosphere was somewhat eerie.

Just when everyone thought Ge An was about to attack Su Chen, they heard him say, "Why should I believe you?"

Compromised.

Su Chen was secretly delighted, but his expression remained unchanged. He found a seat and said, "Do you remember the guy you sent out to assassinate Zhu Yan's friend? He's dead."

"Cheng Zhuo?" Ge An was startled upon hearing this. He had been busy apprehending the murderer and hadn't paid any attention to this matter.

If Su Chen hadn't brought it up, he probably wouldn't have thought of it for a long time.

"Did Ding Peng do it?" Ge An asked, somewhat suspicious after Su Chen's reminder.

Could it be that Ding Peng is not dead?

Su Chen shook his head: "No, it was someone else who did it, and he's the one who killed your son."

"who is it?"

Su Chen didn't reply, but remained silent. Ge An looked at Su Chen with some annoyance, but didn't dare to push him too hard.

"Fine, I agree to your terms, but if you dare to deceive me, I will exhaust all means, even heaven and earth, to find a way to kill you!"

Taking a deep breath, Ge An agreed to Su Chen's conditions.

He turned and went into the backyard. A moment later he came out with a small iron box in his hand. Inside the box were 30,000 taels of silver notes and three bottles of Qi and Blood Pills, a total of 15 pills.

Seeing Su Chen accept the pills, Ge An ordered, "Someone, prepare a room for him!"

Su Chen knew Ge An's plan; he simply wanted to send someone to monitor him. He didn't care, since there were still seven days left, and he would find an opportunity eventually.

After seeing Su Chen off, Ge An sent someone to inquire about Cheng Zhuo's whereabouts.

Just as Su Chen had said, neither Ding Peng nor Su Chen had been home for some time.

This made him somewhat believe Su Chen's words, but he still had doubts. However, at the moment, he had no other choice but to believe Su Chen.

Seven days passed in a row.

Ge An received news about Su Chen from his subordinates every day.

On the first day, Su Chen ate and slept, slept and ate.

The same applies the next day.

……

On the seventh day, he asked someone to boil water, saying he wanted to take a bath, and he soaked for almost half an hour.

If Su Chen hadn't failed to run away, he would have suspected that this guy was just there to freeload at the Ge residence.

"Whether you really know or you're pretending, everything will be revealed tomorrow. My money isn't so easy to take. If you don't have the ability, I'll make you return it with interest!"

At this moment, Su Chen was leisurely taking a bath when the panel in his mind changed, and he suddenly opened his eyes.

"Breakthrough!"
