Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1220: Chapter 1219: Turning the Tables

”Use the enemy’s own strategy against him?” Chen Benhong asked in surprise, ”What do you mean?”

The man said, ”I suspect that if this Su Yang really cares about his family, he would definitely be very worried about us sending people to Pingnan Province. Therefore, during this period, he should have been on his guard against us, and he might even be watching us from somewhere outside right now!”

Chen Benhong felt uncomfortable all over and couldn’t help but glance outside.

The man continued, ”If we send people from here to Pingnan Province, they would be discovered by him almost immediately.”

”You mean, send people from somewhere else?” Chen Benhong asked, intrigued.

”Not only that,” the man smiled and said, ”We also need to make Su Yang especially anxious about us here, so that he has no time to think about other places. Thus, he would be unable to pay attention to other areas, and our people would not encounter any problems.”

”Oh?” Chen Benhong’s interest was piqued, ”Go on.”

”During this time, gather more people and bring them all to you, Chen Shao. Make it look like we’re planning something very significant,” the man suggested. ”If Su Yang is keeping an eye on us, any major move would make him very worried, and he’d focus all his attention here.”

”At that time, Chen Shao, you can quietly send a few trustworthy people to Pingnan Province from different locations. This way, while Su Yang focuses on us, he would never expect that our real plan isn’t here. We can catch him completely off-guard!”

Chen Benhong was delighted, ”Your plan is brilliant, yes, let’s use the enemy’s own strategy against him, feint to the east and attack to the west. Even if Su Yang has incredible abilities, he would never guess what my real plans are. And with so many people in Capital City, and so many from our Chen Family, if people aren’t leaving from my location, how could he possibly guess where I would send people to Pingnan Province?”

Seeing his plan approved, the man was also very happy and quickly said, ”Chen Shao, although this plan is good, there are still some key points we need to pay special attention to!”

”Speak!” Chen Benhong said immediately.

The man took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice, ”Our plan is to catch Su Yang off guard. Su Yang is no ordinary man; he is shrewd and courageous. We can probably only use this plan once. If it doesn’t succeed the first time, there won’t be a second chance!”

Chen Benhong nodded repeatedly, as the reality was exactly as stated. If it didn’t succeed the first time, and if Su Yang became alert, a second chance would indeed be impossible.

The man added, ”Therefore, our plan doesn’t need many people; the key is reliability and enough skill to directly bring back all of Su Yang’s family and friends in one fell swoop. The plan must be successful in one go, without any margin for error. This plan is crucial for Chen Shao’s prestige and your future position in Capital City. Even more, it’s tied to your future inheritance of the Chen Family leadership; it cannot be taken lightly.”

Chen Benhong’s expression became extremely grave, exactly as the man had described. If successful, this operation would erase all his previous disgraces. If it failed, losing this chance might mean doom!

”Reliable and skillful!” Chen Benhong took a deep breath, pondering suitable candidates in his mind.

First was the issue of having enough skill. Previously, the twenty Sovereigns he had sent were completely ineffective. Of course, avoiding Su Yang this time eliminated that worry.

However, Chen Benhong was still thinking about what a cautious elder had said before. He only had one chance, and if Su Yang had set any traps in Pingnan Province, just sending a few Sovereigns would definitely lead to failure. Thus, it was necessary to send masters who had broken through the Sovereign bottleneck!

Even though there were not a few in the family who had broken through the bottleneck, there were very few he truly trusted and who could wholeheartedly work for him.

After pondering, Chen Benhong finally thought of the most suitable candidate. He took a deep breath and said gravely, ”What about sending my father? Would that be appropriate?”

Chen Benhong’s father, named Chen Yuanchuan, also held a significant status within the Chen Family. Moreover, he had broken through the Sovereign bottleneck seven years ago and was very powerful.

Most importantly, what Chen Yuanchuan took the most pride in was his son, doing everything possible to help his son become the Chen Family Head. This man was truly Chen Benhong’s most trusted person.

”If the old master has time, then there would be no one better,” the man hesitated a moment and spoke softly, ”However, we don’t know if Su Yang has set any traps in Pingnan Province, this...”

The man didn’t continue, but the implication was clear; they still needed to be extremely cautious.

”Don’t worry, if my father goes to Pingnan Province, it wouldn’t just be him alone,” Chen Benhong whispered, ”At least two other masters who have broken through the bottleneck would go with him. What traps could Su Yang have in Pingnan Province that could endanger the three of them?”

The man was overjoyed, ”If that’s the case, it would be perfect. No matter how capable Su Yang is in Pingnan Province, they don’t have masters who have broken through the Sovereign bottleneck, so no one can stop this!”

Chen Benhong nodded repeatedly, ”Then it’s settled, there’s no time to delay, let’s arrange this immediately. Send the message out right now, gather people here to first create a decoy for Su Yang so he becomes alert. As for my father, I’ll personally go and talk to him!”

”Chen Shao...” the man hurriedly said, ”If possible, try to keep it a secret that you went to see the old master. Su Yang is extremely astute, and if he finds out, I’m afraid he might guess something, which would be unfavorable.”

Chen Benhong’s heart skipped a beat, and he nodded repeatedly, ”You’re absolutely right, this matter must not be made known to anyone, we must act discreetly!”

...

In fact, Chen Benhong and his men were being overly cautious.

After killing Huang Mingshan and others, Su Yang went straight back to sleep, keeping his word.

When he woke up, it was already daylight. Su Yang turned on his phone, and the first message was from Lü Donglin. He had already heard about Su Yang having killed Huang Mingshan the previous night, and was clearly very pleased. However, he still reminded Su Yang to take good care of his friends and family in Pingnan Province to avoid danger.

The following message was from Zhang Kui.

The first few messages were updates about the situation in Capital City.

The news of Su Yang killing Huang Mingshan had already spread throughout Capital City the night before.

The city was in uproar.
