It must be said that the alcohol in the island country was rather tasteless; it wasn't sweet or sour. Wang Zheng treated it as juice.

The hunter didn't care either. He had a drinking capacity far beyond his appearance. With one tilt of his head, he downed the drink in his cup.

"Su Tianran, we are all adults here. I don't want to play riddles with you. Even though I drank this glass of alcohol, it doesn't mean that I've dismissed my suspicions about you. In fact, meeting you at this time and place already implies something abnormal."

As Wang Zheng spoke, he picked up a piece of salmon, dipped it in the sauce, and put it into his mouth — regardless of whether this was a banquet set to be treacherous (a reference to the "Banquet of Hong Gate" from Chinese history), one must still eat first.

If not for preconceived notions about the island country, Wang Zheng might occasionally enjoy these dishes with different flavors.

"Many things are caused by coincidences." Su Tianran was still trying to explain: "Actually, you're also very skilled at this. Have you never considered that all of these coincidences could be arranged by you"

Was everything down to human manipulation

Wang Zheng shook his head and smiled: "I have thought about it, naturally I have. But I think the biggest suspect is you."

"Alright, let's put this topic aside for now." Su Tianran raised his glass again: "This second cup, I raise to you both, thank you for protecting my sister."

After saying that, Su Tianran finished the alcohol in his cup.

But this time Wang Zheng did not drink along with him. Instead, he said, "Why don't you thank me for protecting your younger brother"

In truth, if it wasn't for Wang Zheng's appearance, Su Tianming might have already been buried in the forest surrounded by formidable enemies. Whether from a moral or emotional standpoint, Su Tianran should thank Wang Zheng.

However, among those who were ordered to kill Wang Zheng within the newly formed Dragon Scale Division, not one of them cared about Su Tianming's life and death. In Wang Zheng's view, that was an order given by Su Tianran.

Of course, there wasn't any extremely clear evidence pointing towards Su Tianran. This was merely Wang Zheng's guess, but his guesses and intuition were usually correct.

As expected, hearing Wang Zheng's slightly mocking words, Su Tianran put down his cup and sighed lightly: "I indeed need to thank you for this matter, but I am still looking for Tianming."

"Then I can only wish you success." Wang Zheng raised his cup. "Hope that you will reunite with him soon."

"This situation is not what I wanted," Su Tianran said: "You should understand without me saying it, someone is secretly manipulating everything from behind the scenes, causing this situation to arise."

Wang Zheng smiled indifferently. This smile was not very friendly as he continued to put a piece of fish meat into his mouth. His voice carried a hint of ridicule: "Is that person you"

"Of course it isn't me." Su Tianran also squinted his eyes: "Otherwise, why would I need to explain so much"

"Then, do you have any suspects"

"There is one person, but I haven't seen his motive."

"Who" Wang Zheng was curious to see who Su Tianran would name.

"Someone from the Chu family," Su Tianran said in a low voice. "The eldest of the third generation of the Chu family, older brother of Chu Zhaonan, Chu Zhaoxi."

"Chu Zhaoxi" Upon hearing this name, Wang Zheng's expression only slightly changed without showing any surprise.

For such a long time, Chu Zhaoxi had been overshadowed by the brilliance of his younger brother, Chu Zhaonan. As the head of the family, he couldn't secure the position of heir, which naturally made him very resentful. Over an extended period, he laid plans and bided his time; once Chu Jia's eldest grandson revealed his claws, he would immediately penetrate through his enemy’s defenses.

"So, you also thought of him" Su Tianran laughed bitterly to himself: "I thought only I had considered this person."

"Chu Zhaonan was expelled from the family, then fled with a girlfriend whom the family refused to recognize. Who benefits most from all these events" Wang Zheng sneered. "Only Chu Zhaoxi. Only he rightfully took over as the heir and ensured his younger brother would never return to the family."

Wang Zheng's brows slightly furrowed, speaking in a similarly low tone: "This person is very capable; he endures with patience and ruthlessness, more so than Chu Zhaonan."

This was high praise from Wang Zheng since 'doing nothing but appearing to do everything' and 'appearing to do nothing while doing everything' are completely opposite meanings in the vast depth of Chinese language.

"How did you find out" Su Tianran asked.

Wang Zheng didn't mind sharing his insights with Su Tianran, as it wasn't in conflict with their interests: "Because he did everything too perfectly. Many times, being too perfect means not being perfect at all; there were obvious flaws. If things had developed naturally, it wouldn’t have been so perfect. Previously, I also heard Chu Zhaonan talk about the difficulties he encountered, but back then, I didn't suspect Chu Zhaoxi. Only as events unfolded step by step did I realize that all clues pointed to him. Of course, many people don't think like me."

"Too perfect means not being perfect; I remember this," Su Tianran said, with a strange and complex tone in his voice that Wang Zheng seemed to miss.

"So Chu Zhaonan can give up everything and run away privately with the woman he loves—I admire him for that. Of course, I also admire Chu Zhaoxi's scheming and patience," Wang Zheng said, suddenly feeling a chill inside his body!

"Something’s wrong! Chu Zhaonan is in danger!" Wang Zheng set down his glass, his expression incredibly serious.

"What's the matter" Su Tianran asked. "Didn't he run away privately Do you mean that his elder brother Chu Zhaoxi won’t let him go so easily"

"You and I both know; in this situation, the best outcome is to eliminate all traces and exploit weaknesses, leaving no隱患!" Wang Zheng's voice was filled with determination. "In fact, if we were in his shoes, we would choose the same method, let alone Chu Zhaoxi."

"But I don't think so," Su Tianran said calmly, seemingly confident in the former second son of Beijing. "Chu Zhaonan could reach such a height not solely relying on family influence and support. If he couldn’t handle something as simple as this, then he wouldn't deserve to be called Chu Zhaonan."

"I know he can manage things; he always leaves himself an escape route. Otherwise, he truly doesn’t deserve his current standing," Wang Zheng's brows were still furrowed tightly. "I feel there’s something off about this situation. Think, if you were Chu Zhaoxi and knew your brother planned flawlessly, knowing that completely eliminating him would be very difficult, what would you do"

Su Tianran narrowed his eyes slightly: "I’d spend the least cost to achieve it."s vital chest area.Wang Zheng’s lightning-fast kick hit Xie Pingan at the spot of his broken arm; such incredible speed coupled with immense force left Xie Pingan unable to make any effective defensiv...
