Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1209: Chapter 1208: Change in Mentality

Chen Benshuang stood outside the cell, overwhelmed by tumultuous emotions.

It was only now she realized that all her previous perceptions had been turned upside down.

She had always thought that Su Yang was just opposing the Chen Family. Particularly after Su Yang had injured Chen Benhong in the Purple Lotus Garden, her heart grew even more hostile toward him.

But now, hearing Chen Benhao’s words, she suddenly discovered that many things weren’t Su Yang’s fault after all, but rather the fault of their own Chen Family.

Take Ye Wantong’s marriage, for instance. Ye Wantong did not want to marry into the Su Family of Yanbei. Su Yang, undaunted by the Chen Family or the Su Family of Yanbei, staunchly shouldered this matter. What responsibility he demonstrated! Who else would dare to do this, to oppose both the Chen Family of the Capital and the Su Family of Yanbei?

Yet Su Yang did just that. As Chen Benhao said, it was a display of great benevolence and courage. Such a responsible and spirited person truly deserves to be called a hero!

Then look at the Chen Family. The Su Family of Yanbei merely had to say the word, and they instantly sent someone to propose to the Ye Family. When Su Yang disrupted the marriage, the Chen Family felt it was a slap to their face, and they started targeting him at every turn. Even at the Purple Lotus Garden, it was essentially Chen Benhong personally challenging Su Yang and bringing many others from the Chen Family to fight against him, only to face a miserable defeat, which hardly seemed Su Yang’s fault either.

Yet the Chen Family still placed all the blame on Su Yang. During this time, the Chen Family has been conducting widespread searches and investigations, eager to find Su Yang and kill him themselves to take their revenge.

These past few days, if Chen Benshuang hadn’t been busy with Xiao Hei, she too would have joined the search for Su Yang, as she originally harbored intense resentment towards him.

But, having walked through this dungeon, Chen Benshuang began to question her family’s decisions.

For example, Chen Benhao merely lost to Su Yang in Pingnan Province, so is that a big deal? But upon his return, he was locked up on the third level of this dungeon. This place is meant for serious criminals and enemies of the family. Was the family treating Chen Benhao as an enemy too?

Then there was Chen Pu. What had he done wrong to end up here?

Regardless, Chen Pu had saved Chen Benshuang in the past. Moreover, if Chen Pu had risked his life to save her, his nature couldn’t be all bad. What had he done to deserve being locked up here?

Chen Benshuang clenched her teeth, her body slightly trembling. She suddenly realized that the family she had always trusted had many incomprehensible and even frightening aspects. Those elders who seemed so kind and approachable were hiding countless disgraceful acts!

Taking a deep breath, Chen Benshuang looked up and said, ”Chen Benhao, Su Yang is already in the Capital City!”

”What?!” Chen Benhao’s eyes widened, and his brow furrowed immediately. ”This kid came to the Capital City? Oh, heavens, he’s never one to keep quiet. With him here, how many enemies must he have made? Can you pass on a message for me to tell him to leave the Capital City immediately, to not stay here...”

”It’s already too late!” Chen Benshuang whispered. ”Right now, he’s a target for everyone here, and many are looking to kill him. Including our Chen Family, which has gathered many experts and is searching the whole city for him!”

”How could this happen?” Chen Benhao said urgently.

Chen Benshuang did not hide anything and explained everything that had happened since Su Yang arrived in the Capital City.

After listening, Chen Benhao was also stunned. He knew Su Yang well enough to know that he couldn’t avoid conflict with the people here, but he hadn’t expected Su Yang to stir up such a huge fuss.

In just a few days, Su Yang had made enemies throughout the capital. Especially since he had killed Lü Peiwen in front of Lü Wenbang, had declared he would kill Huang Mingshan, and had even publicly beaten up Chen Benhong. These were all major issues.

If things continued at this pace, once Su Yang was captured, he would be doomed.

Chen Benhao wouldn’t know about others, but he was very clear about the people of the Capital City, especially the Chen Family.

If Su Yang were to fall into the hands of the Chen Family, his fate would be extremely miserable. Death would be the best outcome, but if Su Yang were captured by the Chen Family, he would doubtlessly be tortured endlessly and ultimately thrown into this dungeon to suffer for eternity, never able to turn over a new leaf.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Benhao said in a solemn voice, ”How is Su Yang now?”

”I don’t know,” Chen Benshuang replied. ”These days, many people in the Capital City have been looking for him, but they haven’t been able to find him. However, he hasn’t been idle either, having made moves twice in the Capital City, causing quite a stir!”

Chen Benhao’s expression became even graver, realizing that Su Yang, continuing like this, would eventually be caught. He thought for a moment and said quietly, ”Xiao Shuang, could you... could you help me send a message to elder sister?”

The ”elder sister” Chen Benhao referred to was the Black Widow, his only backer.

”I know what you want to do,” Chen Benshuang shook her head. ”Elder sister also wants to kill him. I heard from Zi Nu that he messed up elder sister’s plans, and by not acting, she was already being merciful. Asking her for help—it’s impossible now!”

Chen Benhao immediately sat down dejectedly on the ground. If even the Black Widow wouldn’t help, then he really had no options left.

Watching Chen Benhao like this, Chen Benshuang sighed internally. These two had only met once and had become close friends. Meanwhile, she and her relatives, who she saw every day and appeared so affectionate, had never considered her as part of the family. Was this the disparity?

”Going to elder sister is impossible, but I can help you with something else,” Chen Benshuang said gravely. ”I can help you find him and try to pass on your message, telling him to leave the Capital City as soon as possible!”

”Really?” Chen Benhao quickly stood up, thought for a moment, and then shook his head. ”No, he can’t leave the Capital City!”

”Why?” Chen Benshuang asked, puzzled.

”Now, everyone in the Capital City wants to kill him but can’t find him. So, these people will surely guard all the roads leaving the Capital City. Once Su Yang tries to leave, he will definitely be discovered by these people, putting him even more at risk,” Chen Benhao explained.

”Staying in the Capital City is also very dangerous!” Chen Benshuang said. ”You don’t know, Chen Benhong has already teamed up with the Huang Family, getting ready to deal with him!”
