Chapter 207: Testing
After a moment, Su Chen confirmed there was no longer any danger and let Lin Ruoxue get up.
As she sat back down in her chair, Lin Ruoxue's stunning face was still ashen, her heart pounding with residual fear!
After all, Lin Ruoxue was nothing more than a woman, despite often appearing independent and assertive; she was ultimately just a woman.
That she managed to maintain a semblance of calm to this point was quite impressive, not just for her—any man facing such a situation would likely have been scared to wet himself!
After offering her a few words of comfort, Su Chen took out a phone.
"Joker, get to Belle Building in eight minutes!"
Having said that, he hung up.
"Okay!"
The response from the other end was crisp and decisive, with no mention of where they were or any excuses of not being able to make it.
For the people of Nether Temple, an order was an order!
How you completed it was your own business.
At many critical junctures, there was no room for excuses or reasons!
Although Nether Temple was a force in the Dark World, its adherence to discipline was among the top in the world, which was not unrelated to Su Chen's background in that mysterious unit.
Joker was shopping with Han Xiao when he received Su Chen's call, but as soon as he heard what Su Chen said, he immediately knew there had been an incident.
Not daring to delay, he quickly hailed a cab to send Han Xiao home, then casually stole a Cadillac on the roadside.
This was child's play for Joker; in less than a minute, the Cadillac was speeding along the streets of Jianghai...
Before long, Joker had already arrived at the base of Belle Building, just 7 minutes and 25 seconds after Su Chen's call had ended!
Su Chen waved to Joker from downstairs, and Joker quickly came up, then pushed the door and walked in.
"Boss, what happened?"
Joker hurriedly asked, but as his eyes swept across the small hole in the window, they narrowed, and a boundless murderous aura began to emanate from him!
"Boss, who did this? Are they really begging King Yan to take their lives?"
As Joker's murderous aura spread, the air in the entire office seemed to freeze, making Lin Ruoxue suddenly stiffen, her breathing becoming difficult as if she was enveloped by something...
Su Chen immediately noticed Lin Ruoxue's discomfort and shot Joker a stern look. Joker quickly reined in his killing intent, an awkward expression crossing his face.
"Check the rooftop opposite."
Su Chen ordered, and Joker went out immediately.
Although Su Chen believed that no assassin would dare to come now, he still couldn't be careless. He stayed by Lin Ruoxue's side, particularly as he was concerned about her current state.
Not much later, Joker came back in, ready to report, but he stopped as soon as he caught Su Chen's gaze.
"You two go out and talk!"
Lin Ruoxue by now also understood that their identities were extraordinary and knew that Su Chen had things he didn't want her to know.
However, she understood. Everyone had their secrets; as long as he cared about her, it was fine.
And at the moment of danger, he had thought of her first—that was enough!
"No need, we can talk by the window."
Su Chen said with a slight smile, nonchalantly moving to the window, followed by Joker.
Feeling a warm surge pass through her, Lin Ruoxue knew he was concerned about her safety.
"How is it? Did you find anything?" Su Chen asked, leaning against the window frame.
"Nothing was found; the other party cleaned up very neatly, hardly leaving any traces."
The clown shook his head and said,
"The only thing we can be sure of is that there was only one assassin."
Su Chen nodded, he had guessed as much. From the fact that the other party fired only one shot before immediately retreating and other signs, it was clear that this was an experienced sniper!
"Boss, who do you think did this?" the clown asked.
"My intuition tells me it's probably related to Tang Gang."
Su Chen frowned slightly, although there was no evidence, he felt that it was Tang Gang's doing.
"This guy really has a guts to the sky, daring to repeatedly act against you!"
The clown's eyes flashed with anger as he said indignantly,
"Sooner or later, I will completely eradicate his damn Skull Society!"
The clown didn't question Su Chen's intuition because countless past experiences had taught him that the Hall Master's intuition was the most reliable!
Who knows how many times they had relied on his intuition to get through danger!
"Today's incident was just a probe," Su Chen said calmly at this moment, "He's actually more afraid than anyone now, worried that I will come for his life. So, of course, he wants to get rid of this huge concern of his as soon as possible."
"What do we do now? You're not going to let this slide, are you?"
"How could I?" Su Chen's eyes emitted a fierce light, "Since he has come, does he think he can leave?"
"Moreover, I judge that Tang Gang would not send only one person. I'll give you three days to find their hideout. Since they dare to come, then let them stay here forever!"
When Su Chen said this, his tone was mild, but his body exuded an air of a king, at this moment he had a domineering aura!
The clown felt Su Chen's momentum, and his frame shook with excitement revealing in his eyes!
He felt like the Hall Master of old was back!
"Yes!"
The clown respectfully agreed with a voice and then hurried out.
Now he alone had to locate a few people in the vast Jianghai within three days, the time was indeed tight.
Su Chen noticed that Lin Ruoxue still looked quite unwell, and knowing that she had been quite frightened today, he decided to send her back to rest.
Of course, Su Chen stayed at home with her, chatting with her to ease her mind...
.....
Meanwhile, at the Wu Family's old house.
"Why is there still no news?"
The old Mrs. Wu looked gloomily at the middle-aged man in a purple robe in front of her.
"I've already contacted them and haven't gotten through. Moreover, I've sent several groups to search, but there's not a single clue."
The man in the purple robe replied with a trembling voice, lowering his head. He too was puzzled — how could the people he sent suddenly evaporate into thin air?
"Old madam, I suspect they might have already encountered an accident, or even be dead."
"Dead?" Old Mrs. Wu gave him a cold look, suddenly raising her voice, "Four experts, two martial artists, sent to deal with one young man, and you tell me they're dead? Do you think that's possible?"
The man in the purple robe shook his head, not daring to say anything else. He also found his own guess hard to believe, considering he was well aware of those people's strengths.
But aside from that, what else could explain the current situation?
"Continue to send people to find out what happened to those folks, and, that young man must die! I'm entrusting this task to you to handle fully!"
Old Mrs. Wu swung her walking stick, pointing at the man in the purple robe as she spoke, her eyes filled with ice-cold frost!
