Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1608: Chapter 1607: The Reckless Man

The vehicle came to an abrupt halt under the man’s foot, causing everyone to lurch forward and almost crash into the seats ahead.

Everyone sat upright and finally saw clearly; it was Old Zhang the Second who had come.

Old Zhang the Second’s face was cold, seemingly very angry as he stood on the car hood and glared fiercely at Su Yang inside the car.

Su Yang frowned; it seemed Old Zhang the Second was not pleased with his earlier investigation at the Zhang Family.

Nevertheless, Su Yang was not afraid of him at all. They stared at each other for a while. Su Yang couldn’t be bothered to speak and directly ordered, ”Keep driving!”

The driver scratched his head but still drove forward.

At that moment, Old Zhang the Second abruptly stomped his foot down, forcing the vehicle into the ground. No matter how the tires spun, the car couldn’t move forward.

Su Yang could no longer stay seated; he opened the car door and stepped out, coldly saying, ”Are you planning to kill me, Second Master?”

Old Zhang the Second’s expression was icy as he said in a deep voice, ”If you want to die, I can kill you anytime!”

”Hehe...” Su Yang sneered, ”Was it the Martial Champion who sent you, or Zhang Congwen?”

”No one told me to come; I came on my own!” Old Zhang the Second said coldly.

”Then does this matter involve the Zhang Family or not?” Su Yang asked once more.

Old Zhang the Second opened his mouth, wanting to speak but couldn’t explain.

He had wanted to say it was unrelated, but the problem was, he had come because of Su Yang’s visit to the Zhang Family. If he said it was related, it would seem like he was representing the Zhang Family against Su Yang. He didn’t know how to answer.

Su Yang sneered again; indeed, Old Zhang the Second’s strength was not weak, but his strategizing was poor. Against this kind of person, Su Yang had no fear at all.

”If you’re not clear, go back and find out.” Su Yang said coldly, ”Or I could call the elder and ask!”

Old Zhang the Second’s face changed slightly. He had come to find Su Yang out of anger, intending to scare him. Unexpectedly, Su Yang wasn’t scared at all and instead was trying to frighten him, which made him even more furious.

If it were someone else, Old Zhang the Second wouldn’t have been so polite. But in this situation, he couldn’t kill Su Yang. If the matter got big and Zhang Congwen found out, he would definitely be blamed. He was caught between a rock and a hard place.

Seeing Old Zhang the Second’s expression, Su Yang knew what he was thinking and couldn’t help but smile quietly again. Handling such people was indeed convenient.

”Second Master, I understand your feelings!” Su Yang said, ”But do you know why I went to the Zhang Family to get clarification?”

Old Zhang the Second shook his head; he wasn’t clear about the situation.

Su Yang sighed and said softly, ”I asked my sister; in Huaxia Country, there are only a few people who could do this. Surely, you know who they are, Second Master.”

Old Zhang the Second naturally understood; he was one of those few people.

”So, you came to my Zhang Family to probe?” Old Zhang the Second said deeply, ”Do you think my Zhang Family is easy to bully?”

”This is not about being easy to bully!” Su Yang said sternly, ”Among the few who could do this, the Beigong War God definitely couldn’t, nor would Mahakasyapa do it. Qi Zhishan is my friend, and he wouldn’t either...”

”So you think someone from my Zhang Family did it?” Old Zhang the Second shouted angrily, ”There’s also the Jade-Faced Judge, and the Jade-Faced Judge is closely allied with the Four Great Sects; their suspicion is the greatest!”

”Of course, I know!” Su Yang said, ”Second Master, don’t worry, listen to my explanation, okay? The situation is not as you said. Please hear me out before making a judgment!”

Old Zhang the Second’s face was full of anger but said no more, staring directly at Su Yang, ”Alright, let’s see how you explain this!”

”At first, I thought it must be the Jade-Faced Judge. But...” Su Yang sighed, ”I caught Su Ze from the Su Family of Yanbei, and the Su Family sent word that it was done by the Zhang Family.”

”What!?” Old Zhang the Second jumped up, fists clenched, angrily shouting, ”Nonsense! How could someone from our Zhang Family do such a thing!”

”Of course, I don’t believe the Zhang Family did it...” Su Yang shrugged helplessly, ”But you know, I’m the alliance leader of the Qinghe Academy here. Someone said it was the Zhang Family, and if I didn’t investigate, people would suspect me of being too arbitrary. I came to investigate not because I doubted the Zhang Family but to show my alliance members that the Zhang Family indeed has no suspicion!”

Su Yang’s words left everyone around speechless to the extreme. Those lies were indeed well-crafted.

But Old Zhang the Second particularly fell for it. Upon hearing Su Yang’s words, his eyes lit up, and he stared at Su Yang for a moment before asking, ”Really?”

”What would be the point of lying to you about this!” Su Yang shrugged helplessly, ”If you don’t believe me, you can investigate with the Su Family of Yanbei, or simply ask your elder brother, he knows about this too!”

”This...” Old Zhang the Second was embarrassed; he had come to find Su Yang privately without informing Zhang Congwen. Otherwise, Zhang Congwen would never let him off.

”That’s not necessary!” Old Zhang the Second quickly said, ”Alliance Leader Su, I’ll trust you this time. If that’s the case, I apologize for any offenses earlier!”

”Second Master, you’re joking!” Su Yang shook his head, ”In this matter, we’re all victims, no need for such formality!”

Old Zhang the Second felt a bit more grateful to Su Yang in his heart and nodded slowly, ”Then, until next time!”

Old Zhang the Second turned and left without delay.

Su Yang and his people got the car out and continued driving back.

Yuan Tiangang sat in the car, watching the direction of the Zhang Family, and gave Su Yang a thumbs-up, ”Clever, very clever. When Old Zhang the Second goes back, he won’t dare tell anyone about this matter. And with his intelligence, he certainly won’t realize you’re deceiving him. Maybe in the future, he will take action against the Su Family of Yanbei and the Jade-Faced Judge, saving us a lot of effort!”

Su Yang chuckled, ”Dealing with a bull like Old Zhang the Second, the best way is to hoodwink him. Are you going to go bullheaded with him?”

Moreover, after the hoodwinking, Old Zhang the Second felt that Su Yang was looking out for the Zhang Family, feeling very grateful in his heart. Crucially, he didn’t dare tell anyone about this, so he couldn’t expose Su Yang’s lie.

In his mind, he firmly believed it was the Jade-Faced Judge and the Su Family of Yanbei, and perhaps even the people from the Four Great Sects framing the Zhang Family. If he ever got the chance, he would definitely go against these people, which was indeed a favorable thing for Su Yang!
