Tomb raiding: Intercepting Yin Xinyue and building a family of immortals

The room fell silent, and Wang Heng's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty.

He didn't know what to say; the suggestion was far too bold, something no one in the entire history of the Wang family had ever done before.

"The Wang family and the Su family had some conflicts, and Patriarch Su was planning to let it go and then gain the Wang family's trust?"

This suggestion is both too fantastical and too audacious.

It was so audacious that even Wang Heng, the head of the Wang family, was stunned.

He didn't know what to say. Just as Su Chen had said, the proposal was so audacious that even he didn't dare to agree directly.

"No! I think this suggestion is a bit too extreme. It wouldn't be appropriate to do it this way."

"If I were to reveal this information now, whether you believe me or not, you certainly wouldn't believe me, would you?"

Su Chen didn't say the last half of his sentence, but he believed that Wang Heng would understand what he meant.

Because this was much simpler than they had imagined.

Su Chen's value to the Wang family is nothing more than his power and information about Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum. If he were to give away any of these, he might die.

Wang Heng was silent for a moment, then looked at Su Chen and said.

"How about this, you let the Su family take action against the Nine Gates. As long as this information is true, I will accept your proposal."

"Clan Chief Wang, don't get one thing wrong. I'm not a prisoner of the Wang family. We have a relationship of mutual opposition and cooperation. If you want me to pay a price, you'll have to offer something of equal value."

Su Chen once again clarified the relationship between the two.

Even though this was the Wang family's headquarters, he spoke without the slightest fear.

He is not a prisoner, he is a collaborator.

Regardless of how unwilling or how much the Wang family may be to believe or accept this identity, this is reality, whether they want to admit it or not.

Naked reality.

After hearing this, Wang Heng remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking.

"I agree to your suggestion, but that doesn't mean the Wang family will agree. I will raise it with my superiors."

"I thought you were the one who called the shots in the Wang family?"

Su Chen was taken aback when he heard this. He had always thought that the person in front of him would agree immediately, but it seemed that things were a little different from what he had expected.

The difference was clearly much larger than he had imagined.

Wang Heng was not angry at his words, but spoke earnestly.

"The future of the Wang family should not be controlled by one person. Everyone has their own selfish desires, and these so-called selfish desires may become the reason for the family's downfall."

As he said this, he gave Su Chen a deep look, clearly intending to give him some advice.

It was also telling him why he gave that answer.

Su Chen didn't mind at all, and shrugged.

"Then you'd better hurry, I'm worried that things might change if you're too late."

"What do you mean?"

Wang Heng was sensitive to these words, and his body tensed up almost instantly. He looked at him with a hint of wariness in his eyes, trying to find some clues from him.

Su Chen shrugged and said, "I was talking about the Nine Gates. The Nine Gates previously infiltrated the outer strongholds of the Wang family. If you take too long, something bad might happen."

No one knows the threat of the Nine Gates better than the Wang family. The reason the Wang family has ended up in this situation where they don't care about feelings at all is because of the threat of the Nine Gates.

After hearing Chen Xuan's words, Wang Heng did not refute them for a moment.

He simply looked silently at the person in front of him and slowly spoke.

"Ah Yun!"

"exist."

A tall figure walked in, and A-Yun looked at Su Chen expressionlessly.

Wang Heng glanced at him coldly, stood up and said, "Take him back to rest."

After saying that, Ayun looked at him coldly and pulled him up.

"Walk."

"No, we've done some dealings before, isn't it a bit too harsh of you to treat me like this?"

Su Chen got up with a somewhat helpless expression.

The current Ayun is completely different from the one in Sujia Village. She looks cold and has no human warmth at all.

As Su Chen watched this scene, he felt a pang of pain in his heart. Was this what the Wang family had done?

Turning people into machines, all for the sake of the Wang family.

As for personal will and emotions, they have long been abandoned by them.

Looking at Ayun beside him, Su Chen didn't feel anything was wrong, and even took the initiative to speak.

"I let you go back then in Sujia Village, and now you dare to treat me like this? Believe me or not, I'll deal with you right now."

Swish!

Suddenly, a cold glint appeared before Su Chen's eyes, and a short knife was already fixed to the pillar beside him.

Ah Yun's eyes were cold and expressionless. Judging from her demeanor, she was completely ruthless. If he had a choice, he might have chosen to kill Su Chen directly.

The cold blade pressed against his neck as she spoke, word by word.

"If I ever hear you say that again, I'll kill you."

"I will not say anymore."

Seeing that she seemed genuinely angry, Su Chen decided not to waste any more words and followed her back.

When he arrived at his room, he discovered that Old Zhang was actually living with him.

"I thought that according to the way the Wang family does things, they would separate us."

"Living separately is like being in prison."

Old Zhang, lying in bed, couldn't help but say this after hearing it.

He pointed to the food on the table and shook his head helplessly.

"This place is no place for humans. I just went out for a walk and found that the people in this village don't talk to outsiders at all. If a human trafficker came, he would probably be beaten to death as soon as he entered the village."

"This tastes good. The Wang family knows how to enjoy life."

Looking at the fried ribbonfish on the table, Su Chen became somewhat certain of his judgment. The Wang family wasn't as heartless as he had described; they probably still had some feelings for him.

However, compared to the entire Wang family, this plan is far too small.

Hearing this, Old Zhang shook his head, sighed, and turned over in bed.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Su Chen guessed what he had gone through during the time he was away from her.

"It's alright. You've only sold your body. Your soul is still free as long as you're willing."

"Get lost! I didn't sell my ass. I was just thinking about whether my choice was right or wrong. From this moment on, we're going our separate ways."

Old Zhang looked at Su Chen, took a deep breath, and spoke with a somewhat solemn tone.

As he finished speaking, Su Chen, who was standing to the side, shook his head slightly and said calmly.

"Actually, it's hard to say. After all, I've also partnered with the Wang family, so maybe we can even be considered colleagues in the future."
