Beams of light, like tangible gazes, fell upon Su Chen's face like knives.
After Wang Heng, those gazes were devoid of any warmth, making one feel as if they were standing in ice and snow.
Su Chen wanted to explain something, but after hearing about A Yun's repeated thefts, he realized that what was happening in front of him was a trap, a trap set against him.
No matter how he reacts here, he won't change the status quo.
So he frankly said, "As you can see, I have nothing to do with her. I just can't stand the way the Wang family does things."
“Patriarch Su, it’s not that I didn’t give you a chance. I tried to help you gain the trust of the Wang family, which was already very difficult for you. You have let me down and let the Wang family down.”
Wang Heng simply looked at the person in front of him with a calm expression and continued speaking without any emotion.
As his voice fell, Ayun, who was supposed to be behind Su Chen, jumped down and walked to his side.
Having found himself deep within the Wang family's territory and having exposed himself while rescuing someone, Su Chen didn't bother with further words, but looked at him with some disappointment.
"Now that I've been discovered, I'm too lazy to explain anymore. According to your rules, shouldn't you make your move against me by now?"
"Ah."
Wang Heng nodded, raised two slightly curved fingers, and gently waved them.
Two figures suddenly rushed out before the bright light. From Su Chen's angle, he could only see the two shadows rapidly enlarging in front of him.
He suddenly exerted force with his feet and rushed over without hesitation. The two thugs from the Wang family moved quickly, but Su Chen moved even faster.
He arrived in front of the two people almost instantly. His eyes clearly saw that the two people were holding two daggers. Su Chen spun around and kicked the side of the dagger.
The thug's dagger flew out of his hand, and before he could react, Su Chen delivered a knee strike.
A figure flew backward at an even faster speed. Su Chen did not stop upon landing. As if he had foreseen the future, he raised his hand, grabbed the dagger, twisted it forcefully, and slammed his hand against the side of the blade.
The dagger pierced the thug's shoulder, and Su Chen picked up the dagger from the ground and placed it against his neck.
Then he calmly asked the question.
"Not everyone in your Wang family has value. How about I trade my life for his?"
"His value lies in keeping you here."
Wang Heng remained expressionless, as if he didn't even realize that the person lying on the ground shared the same surname as him.
As his voice fell, the Wang family member whose neck was being held by a dagger twisted his neck forcefully.
A blood flower bloomed in the darkness, and a few drops of blood fell on his skin, swaying slightly with his breath.
After seeing this, people couldn't help but fall silent.
Staring at the scene before him, Su Chen stood there dumbfounded.
He never imagined that the Wang family would really treat him like a cog in a machine, killing him at will.
Wang Heng was not surprised at all. No one present made any statement. A Yun's pupils trembled slightly, but it was not obvious in the darkness.
Su Chen dropped the dagger in his hand, finally understanding what kind of organization he was facing.
Everything that was happening before his eyes was beyond his comprehension and expectations.
"Even if I die, I will kill you myself."
"I understand your plan, but there are some things I should tell you beforehand. Congratulations on passing the test."
Upon hearing this, Wang Heng's lips curled into a wide smile, and he spoke up without any restraint.
His appearance was so unsettling that it made people laugh. He looked at the person in front of him, and the smile on his lips became more and more undisguised, even becoming more and more unrestrained.
As his voice faded, Su Chen could sense that the malice in those gazes gradually disappeared, as if to these people, they had merely witnessed a test.
The corpse on the ground was real, and the smell of blood on him was real too.
Su Chen strode up to Wang Heng and looked at the middle-aged man with a relaxed and smug expression. He was certain that this guy wasn't lying this time.
So that's why Ayun apologized to him.
It was because she felt guilty and remorseful for lying to him that she took the initiative to speak up.
After accepting all of this, Su Chen looked at the guy in front of him again and punched him.
Wang Heng was knocked to the ground in an instant. At the same time, everyone else was stunned. It seemed that none of them expected that Su Chen would actually dare to make a move.
Wang Heng wiped his mouth. His physical abilities were not those of a water demon. This punch had knocked out two of his teeth. He waved his hand and said.
"It's alright, this was all expected. If Su Chen didn't react this way, then there would be a problem."
"What exactly is going on?"
After venting his frustrations, Su Chen stopped complaining and took the towel handed to him by A Yun, wiping the blood off his face.
"The test began the moment you made this suggestion. This is your first test, and your response clearly meets our requirements."
"What do you want?"
Su Chen was stunned for a moment after hearing this, feeling that something was not quite right, and didn't know how to respond.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the person in front of him begin to speak.
“What we want is affection. The fact that you couldn’t bear to watch A-Yun die and risked completely offending the Wang family to take her away shows that you are a good person.”
Ironically, Wang Heng told Su Chen that the Wang family didn't need emotions and that he needed to be a heartless machine, but the first step he took to gain the Wang family's trust was to cultivate emotions.
The word "good person" sounds somewhat ironic now.
Because they are good people, they have principles, they can't bear to see others die unjustly, and therefore they are easily controlled by others.
If Su Chen were the kind of utterly wicked madman, Wang Heng would probably be in for a terrible headache.
Seeing this, Su Chen didn't know what else to say, so he turned and walked towards Wangjia Village.
"You're absolutely insane!"
"Whether I'm crazy or not is not important, but there is one thing that is quite important, and I hope you can help me with it."
Faced with Su Chen's questioning, Wang Heng remained unconcerned and instead stated his own demands.
Upon hearing this, Su Chen pointed to himself, increasingly unable to understand the thoughts of the person in front of him.
"I don't know what you intend for me to do, but are you sure you want an outsider to do it? Aren't you worried that I might do something unexpected?"
"To be honest, I was quite worried, but after seeing your abilities, I think it's worth taking the risk."
As Wang Heng spoke, he looked at A Yun with great confidence.
"Besides, you're not going alone."
