It was veryte when Su Chen dropped Xiao Yaning off at her vi in the suburbs, just as Xiao Yaning was about to get out of the car, she paused, nced at Su Chen, as if she had something she hesitated to say.


    "What is it? Just say it, we don''t need to stand on ceremony with each other, do we?" Su Chen said with a smile.


    However, Xiao Yaning didn''t show any sign of smiling, she pondered for a moment, then said:


    "Be careful, Lv Shimo hase back!"


    "Lv Shimo? Who is he? What does his return have to do with me?"


    Su Chen smiled nonchntly.


    "He''s the elder brother of Lv Shixin, his own brother!" Xiao Yaning''s expression grew grave, "Su Chen, you must not take this lightly. Lv Shimo is not so simple; he''s entirely different from his brother, Lv Shixin."


    "Different in what way?"


    A faint smirk formed at the corner of Su Chen''s lips, disying a somewhat cynical air.


    "Lv Shimo is really aplicated character. Let me put it this way, you know Yunlong, the young master of the Yun Family, who is called a ''madman''? Even he is very wary of Lv Shimo and never dares to offend him!"


    Xiao Yaning adjusted her posture and continued, looking at Su Chen:


    "This man is deep and cunning, intelligent, and his methods are extremely ruthless! It can be said that among the younger generation of the Four Great Families, he is the most formidable!"


    "And yet he mysteriously disappeared five years ago, without a trace. Nobody knows where he went or what he did! And now, just days after the death of Lv Shixin, he has returned. You can imagine that he must havee back for revenge on behalf of his brother."


    "I understand, I''ll be careful."


    Though Su Chen still didn''t take this person very seriously, to not cause Xiao Yaning to worry, he nodded his head anyway.


    Seeing that he had finally taken her words to heart, Xiao Yaning felt a bit relieved, then she got out of the car and entered the yard, while Su Chen turned around and left.


    "Lv Shimo?" As Su Chen drove, puffing on his cigarette, he murmured, "If you really want to y, I wouldn''t mind apanying you."


    As he said this, a yful smile involuntarily curled at the corner of his mouth.


    In Su Chen''s view, no matter what kind of person Lv Shimo was, faced with absolute strength, he was still just an ant!


    After returning to the vi, Su Chen went straight to his room to start his Cultivation.


    For Su Chen, Lv Shimo wasn''t worth mentioning, but Tang Gang and the power behind him were like a sword hanging over his head, never knowing when it would fall.


    .......


    On the same night, in a VIP hospital room at Jianghai Hospital.


    At this time, there were two young men in the room, one lying in the bed, the other sitting beside it. Both were strikingly handsome and dashing.


    "Sorry about that, Lin, for not epting your invitation to dinner a while ago. I was just too busy to make room in my schedule," Liu Qing, lying in the hospital bed, said with an apologetic look.


    "Once I''m better, I''ll be the host. You muste, Lin!"


    "Between brothers like us, it''s all good," Lin Chao said with a slight smile, then looked at Liu Qing, "Your health is what''s most important, Liu. There''ll be plenty of chances for dinner."


    In his heart, Lin Chao understood all too well the real reason why Liu Qing hadn''t epted his previous invitation—it was nothing more than disdain for him.


    Now that Liu Qing had been beaten to this state by that guy Su Chen, he hade down off his high horse, and the fact that he had personally called Lin Chao toe probably meant he was hoping to get some information from him.


    But Lin Chao didn''t mind this at all; Liu Qing wanted to use him just as much as he wanted to use Liu Qing himself.


    If both got what they wanted, that was all that mattered.


    "Liu, what did the doctor say? Nothing serious with your health, right?"


    Lin Chao asked with a look of concern, trying hard to appear deeply sympathetic.


    "It''s nothing serious, in a few days I''ll be able to sit in a wheelchair and move around a bit. However, a full recovery is going to take at least half a year."


    As Liu Qing spoke these words, they were filled with anger, and he couldn''t help but think of the person responsible for his current state!


    Given the chance, Liu Qing was determined to torture him thoroughly, all the way till death!


    "You really hate Su Chen that kid, don''t you?" Lin Chao asked knowingly.


    "Hmph, I can''t wait to y his skin off!"


    Liu Qing spat out through gritted teeth, his eyes brimming with a terrifying glint!


    "Actually, if you ask me, it''s not entirely his fault, although he did go too far!"


    Lin Chao shook his head and sighed.


    "What did you say?" Liu Qing immediately red back furiously and yelled, "This isn''t his fault, you''re saying it''s mine?"


    Lin Chao did not care about Liu Qing''s rage and calmly said,


    "Do you know why he hit you?"


    "How should I know? He''s a lunatic! What does my proposal have to do with him!"


    Liu Qingined indignantly. Although he said this, in truth, he wanted to know the answer as well.


    He wanted to know why, when he proposed to Lin Ruoxue, that guy would beat him like a rabid dog.


    He had asked Lin Chao over for this very reason, as Lin Chao was also a member of the Lin Family; he might know something.


    "Young Master Liu, you''re mistaken, it actually does concern him." Lin Chao suddenly smiled mysteriously and asked, "Do you know what rtionship he has with Lin Ruoxue?"


    "Could he actually have some rtion with Lin Ruoxue?"


    Liu Qing''s heart clenched, and he quickly asked out loud.


    "Certainly, and their rtionship is quite special." Saying this, Lin Chao deliberately paused, then nced at Liu Qing and said slowly, "He is Lin Ruoxue''s husband."


    "What, you''re proposing to Lin Ruoxue, you think he could remain indifferent?"


    "What? He is Lin Ruoxue''s husband?"


    At hearing Lin Chao''s words, Liu Qing waspletely dumbfounded.


    He had thought Su Chen was just another one of Lin Ruoxue''s suitors, at most having some romantic rtionship with her, but he hadn''t expected that the two were actually married!


    If these words hade from someone else''s mouth, he might not have believed them, buting from Lin Chao, there was no way he couldn''t believe it!


    "This Damned pair, they''ve been making a fool out of me! I''ll kill them both!"


    Liu Qing suddenly felt like he was being toyed with, his rage uncontroble and rising to the surface.


    "Young Master Liu, let''s not beat around the bush. They are also my targets,"


    Lin Chao said, pretending to be candid:


    "I believe my intentions are crystal clear to you, Young Master Liu. If you don''t mind, I would like to propose an alliance with you!"


    After finishing his piece, Lin Chao stretched out a hand, holding Liu Qing''s gaze steadily.


    "How could I? From now on, we are brothers!"


    Liu Qing also extended his hand and firmly shook hands with Lin Chao. They then looked at each other and erupted intoughter together.


    However, thatughter bore a hint of conspiring rogues...
