Chapter 1173 Suo Long Jing, Nine-Headed Dragon!
Jiang Biyun also asked in surprise, "Old man, what's wrong? Could it be some good news?"
She thought of the matters regarding the Su family in the capital. Could it be that Su Hongzhen of the Hu lineage had sent news?
Old Master Su glanced at Su Yunxi and Jiang Biyun, the mother and daughter, and said in a deep voice,
"Su Hongzhen just called me and said that the Su family in the capital has punished Su Yue, and those Su family disciples were all severely punished by the Su family patriarch, Su Tianhuang. They were each beaten a hundred times and are now all confined to bed!"
"Really?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yunxi and Jiang Biyun were overjoyed.
On the contrary, Chen Xuan's expression was calm. He already knew about this when they did, so why was it so surprising?
If others knew, it would certainly be incredibly ostentatious, but Chen Xuan found it completely normal.
"Of course it's true! Could it be fake?"
Jiang Biyun also asked excitedly, "Does that mean our lineage still has a chance to return to the capital?"
"Of course we are qualified!" Old Master Su said with his head held high.
"That's great, truly great!"
Jiang Biyun and Su Yunxi cheered and rejoiced, their hearts filled with happiness.
Old Master Su also stroked his beard and laughed heartily.
His laughter was filled with satisfaction.
All worries had now vanished!
"Is this because of Su Hongzhen?" At this moment, Jiang Biyun looked at Old Master Su and asked.
Su Tianhuang punishing Su Yue and those Su family disciples was simply too unbelievable. In Jiang Biyun's opinion, Su Hongzhen must have helped clarify things, otherwise, such results would not have been achieved.
Old Master Su's smile slightly restrained, and he said proudly, "He didn't say, but it must be related to Su Hongzhen. We didn't find anyone else, so it must be Su Hongzhen's connection. It seems my decision to save his life back then was not in vain."
He felt that risking his life to save Su Hongzhen was the most correct choice.
Jiang Biyun also nodded slightly, agreeing with him.
Old Master Su said, "Yunxi, since someone helped us, we shouldn't go back on our word. Those shares are precious, but we must be grateful. When we get to the capital, remember to give him some of the shares."
At this moment, Chen Xuan interjected first, "Grandpa, this matter hasn't been settled yet, and Su Hongzhen hasn't admitted whether he helped. I think this matter still needs to be verified, so don't rush to give out the shares."
He naturally knew that this matter probably had little to do with Su Hongzhen. Otherwise, why wouldn't Su Hongzhen admit it? This clearly showed his guilt.
"Not Su Hongzhen? Could it be you who helped?" Jiang Biyun sneered.
Old Master Su also frowned.
Chen Xuan said lightly, "It wasn't me who helped, but Yunxi who helped."
"Me?"
Su Yunxi was stunned, her face full of surprise, as if she herself couldn't believe it.
"How is this related to Yunxi?" Jiang Biyun asked, full of doubt.
Chen Xuan explained, "If Yunxi hadn't developed the Su family in the provincial capital so robustly, how could the Su family in the capital have downplayed the matter and dealt with Su Yue and those Su family disciples?"
"Don't you think so? Moreover, does Su Hongzhen have such great ability?"
"This..."
Old Master Su and the others were stunned, feeling that Chen Xuan's words were not unreasonable, but they also felt something was not quite right.
To be frank, they still overestimated the Su family in the capital and underestimated themselves, showing a sense of inferiority in front of the Su family in the capital!
But it didn't matter. If they entered the capital, the Su family in the capital would also look at them with higher regard one day.
Old Master Su said solemnly, "Then let's see about this matter first. Anyway, there's no hurry. The transfer of shares will only take place after we reach the capital."
Chen Xuan also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Old Master Su did not refute.
Having received the news that they could return to the capital, everyone felt they should celebrate. This was truly momentous good news.
Just as they were preparing to have a meal, suddenly, an uninvited guest arrived at the Su family in the provincial capital!
It was none other than Xie Wei, the person in charge of the Yanhuang Iron Brigade in the provincial city!
"Mr. Xie!"
Jiang Biyun also greeted him.
After all, Xie Wei was now the person in charge of the Yanhuang Iron Brigade in Jiangnan Province, and his status was not low.
"Uncle Xie, you've come at the right time! We are preparing to celebrate, so please stay and have dinner with us!"
Su Yunxi smiled upon seeing Xie Wei.
At this moment, Chen Xuan sized up Xie Wei.
Xie Wei's forehead was covered in sweat, his expression was extremely nervous, his eyes showed fatigue, and the whites of his eyes were all bloodshot, as if he had encountered some troublesome matters.
Xie Wei hurriedly said, "I heard that you are all returning to the Su family in the capital. Congratulations, but I won't be eating here. I have something important to discuss with Mr. Chen!"
"Oh? Looking for Chen Xuan?" Su Yunxi frowned.
"Precisely! Is it convenient?"
Xie Wei forced a smile.
"It's convenient, of course it's convenient." Su Yunxi said lightly.
"Mr. Chen, shall we talk outside?" Xie Wei looked at Chen Xuan and said respectfully.
"Oh."
Chen Xuan nodded and followed Xie Wei outside.
Su Yunxi and the others exchanged glances. Even someone like Xie Wei had to come to Chen Xuan to discuss matters...
Arriving at the pavilion outside, Chen Xuan couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Xie, what is it that you need me for?"
Xie Wei didn't waste any time and directly said, "Mr. Chen, to be frank, the situation is like this: a fugitive has escaped to our provincial city. The province has asked us to supervise this matter, but we have all failed and suffered heavy losses. Therefore, we hope you can take action!"
"A fugitive? Even your Yanhuang Iron Brigade can't handle a fugitive?"
Chen Xuan couldn't help but frown, his suspicion about the fugitive's identity piqued.
"Mr. Chen, under normal circumstances, this matter is absolute secret and cannot be told to anyone. I can tell you, but you absolutely must not tell outsiders."
"I promise I won't tell."
Chen Xuan nodded slightly.
Xie Wei took a deep breath, a look of solemnity appearing on his face, and said in a deep voice,
"To be honest, this fugitive is named Nine-Headed Dragon, an SSS-class war criminal from Suo Long Jing, whose crimes are heinous!"
"You may not know Suo Long Jing. In fact, Suo Long Jing is a deep-sea prison that holds extremely vicious and powerful criminals. Every appearance of them is enough to cause bloodshed!"
"And it is said that Nine-Headed Dragon possessed the strength of a ninth-rank Martial Venerable back then, and also wielded a drug. Once consumed, it could even grant strength beyond the Martial Venerable realm, making him extremely terrifying."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but curse, "Damn, Suo Long Jing is at a depth of three thousand meters in the deep sea! That nine-headed bug can't swim, how did it escape?"
Xie Wei was stunned, looking at Chen Xuan in surprise.
Suo Long Jing was a military secret. How did Chen Xuan know it was at a depth of three thousand meters in the deep sea?
Moreover, according to the records, the Nine-Headed Dragon indeed could not swim.
"Mr. Chen, how do you know so clearly?"
Chen Xuan knew perfectly well, because Suo Long Jing was originally suppressed by the Dragon Soul team, and two-thirds of the criminals in Suo Long Jing were captured by them.
The Nine-Headed Dragon was also captured by Chen Xuan. In front of Chen Xuan, the Nine-Headed Dragon could only turn into a nine-headed bug!
