Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1225: Chapter 1224: Cunning Plan

”Chen Shao, there’s actually another method!” At this moment, a young man beside Chen Benhong whispered.

”What method?” Chen Benhong immediately asked.

Chen Jiu and others also looked at the young man, curious to see what kind of valuable information could come out of the mouth of this dilettante.

”If we capture Su Yang, we can force him to treat Uncle Chen. That wouldn’t be a problem, right?” the young man said in a low voice.

Chen Benhong’s eyes lit up – this indeed was a method.

But Chen Jiu’s brow furrowed in displeasure. What the hell kind of method was this? At this point in time, they were still thinking of capturing Su Yang?

”Uncle Jiu, what do you think about this method...” Chen Benhong looked to Chen Jiu.

”Shut up!” Chen Jiu cursed angrily, ”You capture Su Yang? How exactly do you plan on capturing him? Do you think Su Yang is so easy to capture? It’s been several days, and we haven’t found him yet. Don’t you understand the situation? The more this drags on, the bigger the mess. You still want to stir things up. Didn’t I tell you not to send people to Pingnan Province? What did you do? You sent two groups. The first time, Huang Mingshan died there, and you lost all face, but you didn’t learn. Then you had your father deal with this mess. If we hadn’t arrived just in time today, your father would’ve been dead by now, and you still want to stir things up? Do you want the Chen Family to go down before you’re satisfied?”

Chen Benhong looked embarrassed from the scolding, but he had no rebuttal. Chen Jiu had indeed warned him about this issue, but he always thought his stratagems were sound. Who could have expected that Su Yang would be so cunning?

”Uncle Jiu, it’s useless to talk about this now!” Chen Benhong retorted with dissatisfaction, ”We’ve already come to this point, do you think the Chen Family can reconcile with Su Yang? It’s not time for blame. The most pressing thing is to catch him quickly, force him to treat my dad. Then, we can take care of him and announce it to the world, letting everyone know what happens when they oppose the Chen Family. Could it be that we just give up now, try to appease him? If that’s the case, then the Chen Family is truly finished. After that, in Capital City, we will not only lose all face but also our status. Every Tom, Dick, and Harry will think they can step on the Chen Family!”

Chen Jiu frowned deeply. Although he didn’t think much of his nephew, he had to admit, Chen Benhong’s words were not wrong. The Chen Family indeed had no way out!

If the Chen Family failed to handle Su Yang, then it would truly be the end for them. Both their face and their status would be ruthlessly trampled on.

”Capturing Su Yang is not as easy as you think!” Chen Jiu said coldly.

Chen Benhong also knitted his brows – if capturing Su Yang were so simple, they would have done it already. Why wait until now?

”The Capital City is so vast, and not many people here know Su Yang. He could just disguise himself and find a place to hide; finding him won’t be easy.” Chen Jiu spoke coldly, ”The enemy is hidden while we are exposed; this is the most troublesome situation. If we can’t take him down in one fell swoop, any attempt we make will only give him the chance to erode our strength, bit by bit.”

Chen Benhong’s expression was also very grim. These past few days, he had indeed learned many lessons.

”Hey, you just spoke of capturing Su Yang, do you have any method to capture him?” Chen Benhong asked the young man beside him.

The young man was taken aback. He had only mentioned it off-handedly, suggesting it as a possible approach, but how would he know how to capture Su Yang? The Capital City was full of people who had been busy for such a long time without capturing Su Yang; where could he possibly come up with a method now?

But the young man was not content to simply reply that he didn’t know. He was well aware that if he could come up with a valuable method, Chen Benhong would certainly hold him in high regard and his status in front of Chen Benhong would rise!

After pondering for a while, the young man spoke softly, ”In Capital City, if anyone knows where this Su fellow is hiding, there would only be one person.”

”Who?” Chen Benhong immediately widened his eyes and asked anxiously.

”Who else could it be but Lü Donglin!” Chen Jiu replied coldly, ”Even if Lü Donglin knew where Su Yang was hiding, do you think he would tell you? Or should I say, do you dare to go ask him?”

Chen Benhong opened his mouth but was unable to utter a word. The night before, when so many of them had surrounded Lü Donglin alone, Lü Donglin had scolded them fiercely, chastising the entire Chen Family.

High-ranking members of the Chen Family were verbally abused so harshly by Lü Donglin that they nearly came to blows. Yet in the end, they didn’t dare to make a peep.

Moreover, even though the Chen Family clearly knew that Lü Donglin was helping Su Yang, they dared not say a word. In fact, so many people in Capital City also didn’t dare to say anything. After all, who would dare provoke Lü Donglin!

Hence, seeking out Lü Donglin to inquire about Su Yang’s location was simply an impossible task!

”Can’t you fucking think before you speak!” Chen Benhong cursed the young man, ”What kind of method is this, Lü Donglin? You go ask him!”

The young man was sheepish; he dared not approach Lü Donglin. But in his heart, he felt somewhat indignant and after pondering for a while, he whispered, ”Actually, Lü Donglin seems to... seems to have a good relationship with the Black Widow. If someone from the Black Widow’s side went to ask...”

The implication was clear—the young man was suggesting that Chen Benhong approach the Black Widow and through her, inquire about Su Yang from Lü Donglin.

In his view, since the Black Widow was ultimately part of the Chen Family, and Chen Benhong was the heir, it shouldn’t be a problem for him to approach her.

What he didn’t realize was that the Black Widow had always looked down on Chen Benhong. Sending Chen Benhong to approach the Black Widow was no different from asking him to approach Lü Donglin!

”Can’t you fucking come up with any good ideas!” Chen Benhong raged, ”Lü Donglin and that Su guy are so close, how could he possibly betray Su Yang? Do you not have a brain?”

The young man scratched his head, wanting to argue, but in the end, he didn’t dare to speak. Because Chen Benhong seemed very angry, and to continue on this topic would surely be asking for trouble!

Seeing that everyone around him fell silent, Chen Benhong was even more furious, ”Fuck, are all of you useless? On normal days, don’t each of you act all competent? Why are you all playing dead now? Always acting high and mighty, but when it comes time to actually do something, you’ve all become mute? With you wastes of space following me, what good are you?”

Everyone bowed their heads, their faces the epitome of embarrassment, yet no one dared to say a word.

The more Chen Benhong cursed, the more agitated he became, venting all the frustrations of the past few days on them.

”You bunch of bastards, coming up with these ridiculous ideas all the time, haven’t you made me lose enough face in Capital City? I’m telling you, if you don’t come up with a good idea today, don’t think about having a good life in the future!”
