Chapter 176: Chapter 176: This Child Shall be World Famous!_1

Hong Zhen Ting shifted his gaze quickly and suddenly said to Su Chengyu, "As long as you spare me, I’m willing to give you Xu Nanzhi. She’s the most beautiful woman in Lin Jiang."

"You want me to be your scapegoat? You’re trying to get yourself killed!"

Cold light glimmered in Su Chengyu’s eyes as he pressed down harder with his foot, making Hong Zhen Ting feel as though his chest were being crushed.

"No... I haven’t touched her. I was injured years ago, and lost my ability as a man. She’s untouched." Hong Zhen Ting explained.

Inwardly, Su Chengyu sneered and quietly damned Hong Zhen Ting for trying to offer Xu Nanzhi in exchange for his own life.

"I’m not interested in women. They only slow down my punches." Su Chengyu purposely said in such a manner.

Hong Zhen Ting was guessing to himself; perhaps the rumors about Su Chengyu being impotent, like him, were true. Otherwise, why would a normal man be unmoved by Xu Nanzhi’s beauty?

Hong Zhen Ting was silently thinking to himself. He had been worrying over nothing, suspecting that Xu Nanzhi and Su Chengyu were together!

"Alright, I’ll give you a chance to say your last words! Do not try to stall for time. I know that Ren Qianzhong must be rushing back here at full speed, but he won’t arrive in time." Su Chengyu said coldly.

"Su Chengyu...please don’t kill me, I beg you. You can have anything you want, just spare my life."

Hong Zhen Ting was entirely hopeless, his face full of fear. He was begging for his life, using every trick in the book. If he could move, he would willingly kneel down and kowtow to Su Chengyu.

From the start, Su Chengyu didn’t intend to kill Hong Zhen Ting. Even though killing him would solve everything, the ensuing troubles would also be no small matter.

The Black Dragon Commerce Association was too powerful, and Su Chengyu did not want to flee from Lin Jiang either. All he did to Hong Zhen Ting just now was to scare him and let him taste the fear of death.

Of course, this was also to clear Xu Nanzhi of any suspicion that Hong Zhen Ting might have harbored against her.

Furthermore, Su Chengyu had also once promised Li Yuancang to spare Hong Zhen Ting’s life. A man’s promise is his bond.

Su Chengyu sent a message to Xu Nanzhi, asking her to come over and follow the plan.

"Su Chengyu, what are you doing? Murder is against the law. You cannot escape if you kill him."

Upon receiving Su Chengyu’s message, Xu Nanzhi immediately understood his intention and played along.

"Nan Zhi, save me, please save me! Persuade him not to kill me."

Hong Zhen Ting never expected Xu Nanzhi to intercede, though he knew that she couldn’t possibly stop Su Chengyu.

"You’ve helped me before. I owe you. If you want to use this favor to exchange for Hong Zhen Ting’s life, I can spare him. But then, I won’t owe you anything and we’ll be even."

Su Chengyu said solemnly.

Hong Zhen Ting, hearing this, saw a glimmer of hope and hurriedly sought Xu Nanzhi’s help.

"You should spare him. From now on, we can consider that we owe each other nothing. It also clears the life-saving grace your grandfather gave me, and dissolve this grievance."

Xu Nanzhi hesitated a moment before speaking.

Hong Zhen Ting never thought that one day Xu Nanzhi would actually save his life.

"Alright! It’s a deal."

Su Chengyu nodded, then pulled out an elixir. He said to Hong Zhen Ting, "I don’t trust you at all. To prevent you from seeking revenge on me in the future, you need to swallow this poison."

"I won’t swallow it!" Hong Zhen Ting immediately refused upon hearing the word ’poison’.

"If you don’t swallow it, you die. Don’t worry, this is a slow-acting poison. As long as you take the antidote on time every week, it won’t take effect. However, once you’re out of the antidote, you’ll die from the poisoning. From then on, have someone come to me every week to collect the antidote."

Su Chengyu forced Hong Zhen Ting’s mouth open and shoved the poison in.

This poison was created by Su Chengyu from the herbs he gathered from the Ox Mountain, and rushed back home to refine. This was all part of Su Chengyu’s plan.

"Su Chengyu, you’re ruthless. Using poison to control me, do you want me to do your bidding?" Hong Zhen Ting’s face was pale green with anger.

"Heh..."

Su Chengyu sneered, "You think too highly of yourself. Like I said, in my eyes, you’re just a mobster. You and I live in different worlds. Can a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan? This poison is merely to keep you in check, to deter you from seeking revenge on me. As long as you don’t mess with me, continue being your Lin Jiang gang boss, it’s none of my business."

After saying so, Su Chengyu walked away straight away. Although Hong Zhen Ting managed to keep his life, he was utterly humiliated and his face was frighteningly gloomy.

Having dominated Lin Jiang for many years, and now belittled as a mere sparrow by Su Chengyu, the statement was a heavy slap in the face.

"One more thing, I don’t trust your people. From now on, let Xu Nanzhi come to collect your antidote every week. Of course, if you want to try the taste of poison, you can choose not to collect the antidote. Also, let me remind you that this is a poison I’ve uniquely made. Except for me, no one can cure you."

After finishing his words, Su Chengyu leapt over and jumped out of the compound.

"You bastard!"

Hong Zhen Ting vented his fury and frustration only after Su Chengyu had left. Xu Nanzhi asked nonchalantly, "Do you need to go to the hospital?"

"Call the doctor to the house. I did not expect that I, Hong Zhen Ting, who has been manipulating people’s hearts while in power in Lin Jiang for so many years, would fall into the hands of this young man. Damn it!"

Beyond cursing, there was nothing else Hong Zhen Ting could do, he swallowed the poison after all; he wasn’t going to gamble with his life.

Although Su Chengyu was still a thorn in his side, he seemed to have no intention of dominating Lin Jiang. This gave Hong Zhen Ting some peace of mind.

However, every time the incident came to mind, Hong Zhen Ting would feel uncomfortable, it was quite suffocating.

"Tell the housekeeper at home; anyone who dares to leak a single word about today’s incident will die!"

Hong Zhen Ting stormed off. Xu Nanzhi’s eyes sparkled with a hint of joy.

She saw the mature side of Su Chengyu today. Faced with Hong Zhen Ting’s scheme, he was able to manage, and this was impressive enough. This also made Xu Nanzhi completely trust Su Chengyu.

Moreover, Su Chengyu not killing Hong Zhen Ting was the wisest choice. If Hong Zhen Ting were killed, be it retaliation from Ren Qianzhong or the Black Dragon Mountain, all would be extremely terrifying, unless he fled Lin Jiang and the influence of the Black Dragon Commerce Association in the Longjiang Four Provinces.

Xu Nanzhi also didn’t want Su Chengyu to kill Hong Zhen Ting directly, the current arrangement was the safest.

Xu Nanzhi went back to the villa, took out a medical box, and first helped Hong Zhen Ting tend to his wounds. Ren Qianzhong also rushed back to No. 1 Villa with the fastest speed he could, only to see bloodstains everywhere and the general through and through a mess.

Only the body of Butler Zhu was seen, but not Hong Zhen Ting.

Ren Qianzhong rushed into the house, saw Xu Nanzhi treating Hong Zhen Ting’s wounds, and sighed with relief.

"Where’s Su Chengyu? Did he escape?" Ren Qianzhong asked.

Hong Zhen Ting said with a grim face, "Brother Ren, I never would’ve expected that I, who has been scheming for so many years, would be pecked in the eye by the goose I tried to snare. This kid, Su Chengyu, not only has unparalleled martial arts talent, but his cunning is unsurpassed; we’ve all been outwitted by him."

"What happened?" Ren Qianzhong asked.

Hong Zhen Ting gave a rundown of the events. After listening, Ren Qianzhong couldn’t help but sigh, "We have indeed underestimated him! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such an outstanding young man. If he doesn’t die, he will surely achieve great deeds and make a name for himself in the future!"
