Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Long Coveted_1

Li Yuancang made a call to the Black Crow, trying to stall him as much as possible and buying time for Su Chengyu to figure out a countermeasure.

"Master, where are you?"

"On my way to Linjiang University. Since you, a useless piece of trash, are no help, I’ll have to take matters into my own hands."Black Crow replied coldly.

Startled, Li Yuancang said, "You’re not intending to harm Su Chengyu’s sister, are you?"

"Catching his sister will certainly get him out into the open."

"Master, I’m afraid that isn’t appropriate. It goes against the rules and ethics of the underworld." Li Yuancang hurriedly tried to reason with him.

He knew well of Black Crow’s lustful and ruthless nature—if Su Xiaoxiao fell into his hands, even if she didn’t die, she would inevitably be dishonoured.

"What sort of bullshit rules and ethics! Li Yuancang, can’t you ever remember the lessons I’ve taught you? The underworld is cruel, there’s no such thing as rules or ethics. Only the strong have the right to talk about the rules, survival is the only virtue! You’re truly hopeless."

After scolding him a few times, Black Crow hung up abruptly.

Li Yuancang, not wasting any time, quickly drove to Linjiang University and, at the same time, called Su Xiaoxiao to tell her to hide immediately and not show herself.

Upon receiving the call, Su Xiaoxiao understood the gravity of the situation. She didn’t want to implicate her brother, so she immediately ran out of Linjiang University and headed straight for the criminal police squad where Fang Qing was located.

There was nowhere safer than that. Su Xiaoxiao was confident that even if Black Crow had the audacity, he would never dare to blatantly come here to capture her.

"Xiaoxiao, why are you here?" Fang Qing asked.

"Brother Cang called to say some bad guy wants to catch me to get at my brother. I can’t let him capture me, so I came here where it’s safest." Su Xiaoxiao replied.

Upon hearing this, Fang Qing was a little worried but also admired Su Xiaoxiao’s quick thinking.

"You’re really smart. Rest assured, you’re completely safe here. Do you know who the bad guy is?" Fang Qing asked.

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head. Although Fang Qing was greatly worried about Su Chengyu, she also knew her limitations and that she couldn’t be of much help. The best she could do was to take good care of Su Xiaoxiao for Su Chengyu, so he wouldn’t have to worry about her.

As soon as Black Crow arrived at Linjiang University, he began searching for Su Xiaoxiao using her photo. Li Yuancang also arrived right after him.

"You came at the right time. Help me find this girl."

Li Yuancang feigned agreement and they spread out. After a while, he told Black Crow, "Master, I asked her classmates, and they said she’s not at the university. In my opinion, we don’t need to rush just yet. Since you hardly come to Linjiang, let me take you to dinner. I’ll arrange everything properly for you later. I promise you’ll be satisfied."

Black Crow was somewhat tempted and agreed, "Very well. This task is a piece of cake for me. There’s no need to rush."

Li Yuancang took Black Crow to a well-known high-end restaurant, doing his utmost to stall Black Crow and buy time for Su Chengyu.

"People say Linjiang breeds beautiful women. They’re absolutely right."

Although Black Crow was over fifty, as a Martial Arts Master, he was still very fit. Also, because of his lustful nature, certain needs were still very strong.

"There are many beautiful women in my circles. I guarantee you’ll be satisfied."

Black Crow scoffed, "Even if a woman of ill-repute is beautiful, she won’t catch my eye. Have you forgotten my tastes?"

"Of course not! Don’t worry, I’ll arrange everything."

On the surface, Li Yuancang appeared subservient, but he loathed Black Crow inside, cursing him as an old pervert. The face and visage of the man were distasteful, and his pursuit of women was appalling.

The man was unpleasant and somewhat unattractive, but he was very picky. He liked young girls and married women.

Black Crow nodded in satisfaction, asking, "I heard that after Hong Zhen Ting died, Xu Nanzhi was taken by Su Chengyu?"

"Why do you ask, Master?" Li Yuancang asked in confusion.

"Xu Nanzhi is known as the most beautiful woman in Linjiang. I’ve seen her once before and I’ve been coveting her ever since. However, she was always claimed by Hong Zhen Ting, and I couldn’t make a move. Now that he’s dead, how could I let such a stunning beauty escape?"

Coming to Linjiang with such enthusiasm, Black Crow’s main motivation was Xu Nanzhi.

Even if Feng Huaqiang hadn’t assigned him the mission to kill Su Chengyu, Black Crow would have volunteered to come. For someone of his status, ordinary women are easy to come by, which makes the unattainable ones that much more tempting.

Black Crow wished he could claim Xu Nanzhi right away, fulfilling his longstanding desire.

Li Yuancang cursed Black Crow inwardly, feigning agreement, "Xu Nanzhi was indeed taken away by Su Chengyu."

"Great, kill Su Chengyu and claim Xu Nanzhi in the process. Two birds with one stone, excellent."

Seeming to be in great spirits, Black Crow downed a large gulp of wine, his face beaming.

The restaurant was bustling with customers, and on nine out of ten tables, all anyone was talking about was Su Chengyu, showering him with praise and admiration.

"A bunch of frogs at the bottom of the well, totally inexperienced. They’re glorifying a mere Third Rank Grandmaster as if he’s celestial! Little do they know, Su Chengyu is about to die by my hands. I can’t even eat in peace!"

Wherever Black Crow went, he could hear people talking about Su Chengyu, which filled him with disgust and contempt. He was about to stand up and angrily command everyone in the restaurant to shut up—

"Master, why should you bother with these common people? Here’s a toast to you."

Quick to react, Li Yuancang immediately raised his glass in a toast to Black Crow, which managed to prevent him from making a scene.

Meanwhile, not far away, Su Chengyu’s classmates, Zhao Jiahao and Yu Xiaoling, were also present. The last time at Dongling Hotel on Xu Lingshan, Zhao Jiahao and Yu Xiaoling had planned to embarrass Su Chengyu, but they ended up as clowns themselves.

This event left Zhao Jiahao harbouring a grudge against Su Chengyu, filled with jealousy. However, after later learning how much more powerful Su Chengyu had become, even killing Hong Zhen Ting, Zhao Jiahao’s envy grew stronger.

He was also aware that Su Chengyu had reached heights he would never be able to reach in his lifetime. The resentment and envy he harboured in his heart gradually seemed naïve and ridiculous.

As for Yu Xiaoling, the previous class flower and the one Su Chengyu had once had a crush on during school, she had started thinking of roping him in after the event at Dongling Hotel.

She had sent Su Chengyu several messages, but he never replied. She even plucked up the courage to call Su Chengyu to apologize and asked him out for a meal, only to be rejected again.

Yu Xiaoling eventually gave up on ever being able to hook up with Su Chengyu and, filled with regret, she went to work at Zhao Jiahao’s company and had an equivocal relationship with him.

"Director Zhao, I’ve just arrived in Linjiang today, and I’ve heard countless people mention a certain Su Chengyu. Who exactly is this person? Could you give us some insight?"

A middle-aged man sitting across Zhao Jiahao asked.

This man came from Jiangyang City, and his business was much bigger than Zhao Jiahao’s. Zhao Jiahao had always wanted to ingratiate himself with him to discuss business opportunities, but the man never agreed, seemingly underestimating Zhao Jiahao’s company.

This business transaction was critical for Zhao Jiahao. He had even brought Yu Xiaoling along as she could be used as a bargaining chip in case they needed to compromise through her appearance.
