Chapter 1026: Chapter 1026: The Last Chance

At the Lin Jiang Dragon Soul Department, as soon as Lin Huanfeng’s car stopped, Su Chengyu headed straight towards the interior of the Dragon Soul Department.

Among them were quite a few newly promoted or newly joined members who didn’t recognize Su Chengyu, but they knew of Lin Huanfeng’s identity and initially didn’t stop him.

However, as the group kept penetrating deeper into the Dragon Soul Department, they realized their aggressive approach and a chief minister immediately furrowed his brows and blocked their way.

"The Dragon Soul Department is a restricted area, unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter!"

"Out of my way!"

With a casual wave of his hand, Su Chengyu sent those martial artists, who were not even grandmasters, flying out.

This was the result of Su Chengyu not wanting to kill anyone, deliberately holding back; otherwise, in that instant, these people would already be dead.

"Maximum alert, someone is forcibly entering the Dragon Soul Department!"

As the alarm sounded, the entire Dragon Soul Department was flooded with people moving towards the direction of Su Chengyu, quickly surrounding him and his party completely.

Facing these people, Su Chengyu had no intention of wasting time with them and coldly inquired.

"Where is Stone Sword Edge?"

"What business do you have with the Grand Marshal..."

Bang!

Just one hit sent this chief minister flying, spitting out blood, and he couldn’t manage to finish the rest of his sentence.

"I’ll count to three, and if I don’t see Stone Sword Edge by then, I guarantee all of you will die."

Lin Chuxue saw this scene and slightly furrowed her brows; Su Chengyu’s current actions were obviously a bit too much.

However, thinking about the catastrophe Liu Yan had faced, Lin Chuxue seemed to understand why Su Chengyu was so angry.

"Mr. Su?!"

Following the crowd, the voice of Stone Sword Edge arose, and the people of Dragon Soul Department immediately cleared a path.

Looking at Stone Sword Edge in front of him, who had hardly changed compared to half a year ago, Su Chengyu sneered, "Stone Sword Edge, do you still remember me? I thought by the time I left, you had completely forgotten about me."

Stone Sword Edge, hearing these words, felt despair in his heart, and hastily responded, "Although Mr. Su was not in Lin Jiang, I have always remembered the instructions Mr. Su left behind before leaving! I’ve never forgotten!"

"Never?"

Su Chengyu raised his hand instantly, and a force immediately enveloped Stone Sword Edge’s entire body, leaving him neither courage nor strength to resist.

The next second, he was snatched directly in front of Su Chengyu and even had his neck seized.

"Then you tell me! How did Liu Yan get hurt? And how is it that the assailant was still alive to leave Lin Jiang! Are you and your Dragon Soul Department all just idling away?"

Su Chengyu’s anger was not without basis.

Before coming here, he and Lin Huanfeng made a point to understand the ins and outs of the situation. The assailant came suddenly, and their identity was completely fabricated, which did not surprise Su Chengyu.

What Su Chengyu did not expect, however, was that after the incident occurred, this person stayed in Stone Sword Edge’s hands, in the Dragon Soul Department, for no more than three days before disappearing without a trace!

While there was no direct evidence, it was hard for him not to suspect that Stone Sword Edge did it on purpose.

Even if he wasn’t the one pushing directly, he could very well be one of the accomplices.

Thinking this, Su Chengyu’s grip on Stone Sword Edge’s neck grew ever tighter, and the murderous intent in his heart grew more intense.

He could tolerate Stone Sword Edge’s incompetence, could tolerate this guy harboring selfish motives, but he couldn’t tolerate him betraying Su Chengyu right under his nose, which was Su Chengyu’s bottom line!

The entire Dragon Soul Department, due to Su Chengyu’s actions, immediately went into battle readiness, prepared at any moment to step forward and save Stone Sword Edge at the risk of their lives. Sensing the unusual atmosphere around him, Stone Sword Edge quickly spoke out.

"All of you, stand down!"

Everyone stopped moving, and Stone Sword Edge then looked at Su Chengyu and spoke softly, "Mr. Su... this place is not convenient, may I speak with you in private?"

Su Chengyu’s eyes narrowed slightly, he pondered for a moment, and still let go of his hand.

It wasn’t that his suspicions of Stone Sword Edge had dissipated, but rather, the disparity in their strength was now as vast as the heavens and the earth. If he wanted Stone Sword Edge dead, it was merely a matter of thought.

"Lead the way."

As his words fell, Stone Sword Edge, not even having time to catch his breath, immediately led Su Chengyu to his own room.

"Mr. Su, you have come for Liu Yan, haven’t you?"

"Nonsense! What do you think?"

Su Chengyu retorted with narrowed eyes.

Without delay, Stone Sword Edge turned around and took out an encrypted file, handing it to Su Chengyu.

"This file contains information on the perpetrator. These are all the results I have gathered from tracking him for the past six months."

Su Chengyu casually glanced at it, and then, narrowing his eyes, said, "He was rescued from the Dragon Soul Department, was that your deliberate arrangement?"

Upon hearing this, Stone Sword Edge immediately knelt on the ground, "Mr. Su, it’s my incompetence. The opponent’s identity is very well-concealed. Other than letting him go and then tracking him, I really had no other means. Even so, I only managed to find some traces. If Mr. Su feels that I have not done well, you may punish me as you see fit."

Su Chengyu scanned the information handed over by Stone Sword Edge, and upon spotting a few key words, he narrowed his eyes, "The Black Dragon Commerce Association?"

Stone Sword Edge nodded, "Though there’s no evidence to prove he was sent by the Black Dragon Commerce Association, there’s no doubt about his origins from the Association."

"Then why didn’t you take action?"

"I..."

Confronted with Su Chengyu’s questioning, Stone Sword Edge was at a loss for words and didn’t know how to respond to the question.

Take action?

How could he take action? On what grounds could he act?

A skinny camel is still bigger than a horse. Although the Black Dragon Commerce Association was crippled, it remained a giant within the Longjiang Four Provinces. Being just a meager Grand Marshal of Lin Jiang, what capacity did he have to face off against the entire Black Dragon head-on?

Even such backstage investigations, once perceived by the Association, would bring about catastrophe upon him.

"Then let me rephrase the question, are you that afraid of death?"

With Su Chengyu’s words coming to an end, Stone Sword Edge thumped down onto his knees again.

"Mr. Su, it’s true that Stone Sword Edge is both greedy for life and afraid of death. But sitting in this position, I’m not ignorant of the notion that wealth and rank are sought through danger. If there was even a slight chance that I could uproot the Black Dragon Commerce Association, I would have taken action before Mr. Su’s return!"

Su Chengyu coldly stared at Stone Sword Edge and after a long while lightly said, "Get up. Being afraid of death is not a capital offense. Even if you truly took advantage of the situation in this affair, as long as it wasn’t too outrageous, I can turn a blind eye. Do you know why I want to settle accounts with you?"

Stone Sword Edge shuddered, "This subordinate does not know."

"The perpetrator injured people in Lin Jiang, yet you couldn’t even do the basic duty of protecting your people. How can I trust you to protect those around me? If Lin Jiang’s Dragon Soul Department is incapable, couldn’t you have consulted with your superiors? If they didn’t care, couldn’t you have applied for transfer without following the chain of command? If you can’t even do your own work as a Grand Marshal, then there’s no need for you to continue sitting in that position!"

Stone Sword Edge, silent as if struck by frost, knelt on the ground, unable to utter a single word.

Su Chengyu, suppressing the rage in his heart, finally said, "Stone Sword Edge, I am giving you one last chance. Within one day, figure out how the Black Dragon found their way to me."

Su Chengyu and the Black Dragon Commerce Association were indeed mortal enemies, but his opposition to the Black Dragon Commerce Association had always been in the identity of Su Cheng. Logically, even if the Association sought revenge, they shouldn’t have been able to trace it to the Lin Jiang area.

Could it be in retaliation for Hong Zhen Ting?

Su Chengyu had to know whether someone had betrayed him or if there was another reason.

"I understand! I assure you, I will not let Mr. Su down this time!"
