Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Aunt Xu Exposed?_1

Su Chengyu walked out of the rest area, and Lin Zhihua promptly approached him.

"Grandmaster Su, the feast has begun, we’re just waiting for you."

"You all enjoy, I have some business, I’ll leave first." Su Chengyu said coldly.

"But...you are the most important guest today, if you leave, the celebratory banquet will lose its luster."

Lin Zhihua was unacquainted with Lin Zhengxun’s true intentions and was doing his utmost to ingratiate himself with Su Chengyu.

Of course, this was Lin Zhengxun’s instruction, in this way, the Lin family could maintain a friendly relationship with Su Chengyu. If something goes wrong someday, they can let Lin Zhihua take the blame, avoiding any harm to the Lin family.

In Lin Zhengxun’s heart, he still wished for his eldest son, Lin Zhiyuan, to take over the Lin family. He knew that Lin Zhihua was highly capable and fiercely ambitious, and without a counterbalance, Lin Zhiyuan would be no match for Lin Zhihua.

"Right, Mr. Su, please stay."

Despite getting the cold shoulder from Su Chengyu numerous times, Lin Chu Yin was not discouraged.

"Since Grandmaster Su has something on, we shouldn’t press him. Grandmaster Su’s visit to us today has already given me enough honor! Zhihua, you assist me in seeing Grandmaster Su off."

Lin Zhengxun spoke at this time.

Su Chengyu glanced at Lin Zhengxun and under the watchful eyes of everyone, left the banquet hall. Lin Zhihua and Lin Chu Yin accompanied him to the underground car park.

After driving out of the Oasis Hotel, Su Chengyu was no longer the naive man he used to be—he had noticed a change in Lin Zhengxun’s attitude towards him.

Before their duel at the stadium, Lin Zheng Xun was eager to recruit him at all costs, but now while he’s still polite, there’s a clear distance.

"Such a cunning old fox, playing both sides and going with the flow. Could Chu Xue’s change in attitude towards me be the same?"

Lin Zhengxun’s cunning and crafty nature was not a surprise to Su Chengyu, but he believed Lin Chuxue was not a woman who would play such mind games. According to him, Lin Chuxue appeared cold but was fragile inside. She used her tough exterior to hide her delicate interior and was not a manipulative woman in the slightest.

When it came to cunning plots, Su Chengyu thought that Aunt Xu and Liu Yan were far more adept than her.

"Let it be, overthinking will do no good. Everyone has their own path to follow. I owe her nothing, there is no need to cling on to this."

Su Chengyu shook his head and put all these thoughts behind him.

Lin Zhengxun thought he was smart, able to assess the situation and satisfy everyone without offending anyone. But he was ignorant of the fact that he missed a fantastic opportunity. He missed the chance to let the Lin family rise to the top and become the number one wealthy family in Lin Jiang, or even the top elite of Jiangdong.

Yulong Bay No.1 Villa.

"Mr. Hong, we received news that Su Chengyu appeared at Lin Zhengxun’s birthday banquet at the Oasis Hotel." The housekeeper walked into the study and reported.

"Oh? Su Chengyu’s relationship with the Lin family is that deep? Enough for him to take such a huge risk to attend the banquet?"

Hong Zhen Ting was slightly surprised, he had underestimated the relationship between Su Chengyu and the Lin family.

"Upon investigation, it seems there is some intimate relationship between Su Chengyu and Lin Zhengxun’s granddaughter, Lin Chuxue. They have even saved Lin Zhengxun’s life. It seems the Lin family and him are on the same side now." The housekeeper reported.

"Tonight, I will personally visit the Lin family and meet Lin Zhengxun! I want to see if this old man dares to stand against me. Have you located Su Chengyu’s whereabouts?"

Hong Zhen Ting narrowed his eyes as he spoke.

"We lost him!" The housekeeper lowered his head.

"Worthless! A bunch of good-for-nothings." Hong Zhen Ting erupted in anger.

"Mr. Hong, please don’t be angry. Su Chengyu defeated Tang Jin at Lin Zhengxun’s banquet and he has reached the grandmaster realm. Our people, naturally, can’t keep up with him," the housekeeper explained.

"What? That kid has become a grandmaster?!"

Hong Zhen Ting was taken aback. During the stadium duel, Hong Zhen Ting and Ren Qianzhong confirmed that Su Chengyu only had a half-step grandmaster’s strength. And given that Ren Qianzhong had fought with Su Chengyu and believed he had accurately assessed Su Chengyu’s strength, this news deeply shocked him.

In just five or six days, he took the half-step and became a grandmaster, which was simply awe-inspiring!

Even Ren Qianzhong’s face changed at the news.

"Is the news reliable? Su Chengyu truly defeated Tang Jin?" Ren Qianzhong asked in a deep voice.

"It’s absolutely true. Many people witnessed it at the scene. Tang Jin was seriously injured by him and nearly killed on the spot!" the housekeeper reported.

"Brother Ren..."

Ren Qianzhong interrupted him with a raised hand and took a deep breath: "This kid’s talent is indeed terrifying, definitely extraordinary. We absolutely can’t let him continue developing. Order people to find him. I will take action personally. Prep everyone else as well to assist from the sidelines. Regardless of the cost, we cannot let him escape again!"

With the situation as it is, Ren Qianzhong no longer cared about his dignity. With just him, he may not be able to completely take care of Su Chengyu.

But Hong Zhen Ting had Li Yuancang and other skilled people on his side. Plus, Hong Zhen Ting had a gun. If they cornered him, Su Chengyu would find it hard to escape even if he had wings.

After Su Chengyu left the Oasis Hotel, he was immediately aware of the tailing, so he easily shook off Hong Zhen Ting’s men.

However, Su Chengyu couldn’t go straight to Li Yuancang, so he drove to Bull Hill instead.

The last batch of Purple Tendril vines he bought was dug up by an old man from Bull Hill. Su Chengyu wanted to take a look around, to see if there were any other natural treasures there.

Back in Hong Zhen Ting’s villa, a housemaid entered Xu Nanzhi’s room to clean.

Xu Nanzhi was sitting on the balcony, flipping through a collection of Tagore’s poems.

"Madam, I just overheard the housekeeper reporting to Mr. Hong that Mr. Su has reappeared."

While cleaning the floor next to Xu Nanzhi, the housemaid whispered.

Xu Nanzhi’s brows twitched slightly, responding indifferently, "What does it have to do with me?"

"On the 22nd of last month, when I had my day off, I saw you driving off with a man to the Liya Hotel in the evening. I thought, that man, would be Mr. Su, right?" The housemaid continued to whisper while cleaning.

Hearing these words, Xu Nanzhi’s brow furrowed and she almost dropped the book in her hand. She immediately turned to stare intently at the housemaid.

"Auntie Xie, what are you trying to say?"

The housemaid spoke softly: "Madam, there’s no need to be nervous. I won’t tell anyone about these things. That night you came out of the study, your hand was injured and blood dripped onto the floor. You didn’t notice it, but I was the one who cleaned it up. You must have been very worried about Mr. Su, right?"

Xu Nanzhi was truly surprised. This housemaid by her side wasn’t as simple as she seemed. She had uncovered her connection with Su Chengyu. This made her wary.

She couldn’t figure out if this housemaid was sent by Hong Zhen Ting to test her, or if she had other motives.

Even the smart Xu Nanzhi was somewhat flustered at this moment.
