Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1258: Chapter 1257: Yes, I betrayed the Chen Family

After resting for half a day, Su Yang swaggered off to Purple Lotus Garden in the afternoon, letting it be known that he was inviting Lü Donglin there for drinks.

The news quickly spread throughout Capital City, causing a great shock among all the major families.

Large families like the Chen Family were all waiting for Su Yang to be brought down by infighting, hoping for him to be killed by his adversaries.

Who could have anticipated that Su Yang would invite Lü Donglin out for a meal at such a time? Wasn’t this a way of telling everyone that he had completely taken control of the situation?

But how exactly did Su Yang manage to do this?

For a time, all the major families in Capital City were gloomy and frustrated.

Having suffered such heavy losses last night, no major family was spared. Yet, Su Yang not only didn’t suffer any disadvantage, but also took control of the situation, even capturing all the people in the dungeons. This was hard for anyone to accept.

...

Black Widow’s loft.

Zi Nu hurriedly approached the outside of Black Widow’s room and quietly relayed the latest developments, then whispered, ”Master, Su Yang has taken control of the situation. It seems that after last night’s battle, Su Yang has won a complete victory.”

Silence lingered in the room for a while before Black Widow’s voice was finally heard: ”Wait another three days.”

”Three days?” Zi Nu was puzzled, ”Master, do you think someone will still make a move against Su Yang? I... I don’t feel that’s likely. After last night’s battle, the major families of Capital City have all incurred severe losses. I suspect that in the short term, none of the families will dare to act against Su Yang. If the major families don’t dare to make a move, then... probably no one will...”

”Just wait,” Black Widow’s voice remained calm, offering no further explanation.

Zi Nu dared not ask more, knowing that Black Widow must have her reasons for saying so.

”Has she seen Chen Pu?” Black Widow asked.

”Yes, she has, and he has been rescued. He should be waking up soon,” said Zi Nu in a low voice.

”Go and keep watch,” Black Widow instructed.

”Yes!” Zi Nu bowed and backed away until she had exited the door of the parlor, then turned to leave.

Upon reaching the room where Chen Benshuang was, Zi Nu just so happened to hear a joyous voice from inside: ”You’re awake!”

Peeking in, Chen Benshuang was excitedly looking at Chen Pu, who was lying on the bed.

Chen Pu, however, looked utterly confused, surveying his surroundings and instinctively curling up, backing against the wall with a fearful gaze at Chen Benshuang.

”It’s me!” Chen Benshuang was surprised by Chen Pu’s reaction, ”I am Chen Benshuang, have you forgotten me?”

Chen Pu remained silent, still looking at Chen Benshuang with terror, seemingly very afraid of her.

Chen Benshuang was immediately at a loss, she had no idea what was going on with Chen Pu.

At this moment, Zi Nu walked in from the doorway, speaking softly, ”Chen Pu, Shuang’er went through a lot of trouble to save you. The Chen Family is searching everywhere for you. You should stay hidden here for now and not wander off, Shuang’er will protect you.”

Chen Benshuang was taken aback. She hadn’t done anything. Where did Zi Nu’s words come from?

Upon hearing this, Chen Pu was also startled. He turned to look at Chen Benshuang, his voice somewhat faltering, ”You... you saved... saved me?”

Chen Benshuang was still confused, unsure of how to respond. Zi Nu, however, was straightforward and said directly, ”Yes, this is Shuang’er’s room. But rest assured, this room isn’t within the Chen Family’s premises, and members of the Chen Family certainly wouldn’t dare to come here looking for you!”

Chen Pu sighed in relief, taking a look around, his face finally relaxing somewhat. After a long while, he finally spoke in a low voice, ”Shuang’er, thank you.”

Chen Benshuang was still utterly bewildered. Chen Pu clearly recognized her, so why was he so fearful of her?

”Alright, both of you sit down first. I’m going out to find some medicine for your injuries,” Zi Nu promptly left the room.

Watching Zi Nu leave, Chen Benshuang, now agitated, said, ”Chen Pu, what... what exactly happened to you? Some people say you betrayed the family, is... is that true?”

Chen Pu lowered his head in silence, his eyes filled with resentment, as if recalling something that had made him extremely infuriated.
