I will settle scores and use violence to shatter the chaos of this world.

Chapter 17 Did Su Qingliu take the initiative to plead for mercy?

Inside the clear water rudder.

Su Qingliu's head was throbbing with pain, and she was in a daze. Finally, she woke up from the bed. Her eyes were slightly open on her swollen face. Then, as if she had come to her senses, she suddenly rolled over and sat up on the soft bed.

As soon as he sat up, he couldn't help but groan in pain and almost fell over.

Her stomach, arms, shoulders, and back were all in pain.

Especially the arms.

The bones inside appear to be cracked.

"Master, you're awake?"

The maid Xiao Huan put down her work and quickly came over.

Su Qingliu leaned against the bed, silent for a moment, and finally recalled the scenes that had happened before.

Where is Chen Xuan?

She suddenly spoke.

"Master Chen...Master Chen disappeared as soon as he left here."

Xiao Huan responded.

"It's gone?"

Su Qingliu frowned.

"Yes, Jia Gui and his group went to look for it several times but couldn't find it!"

Xiao Huan said.

Su Qingliu's heart sank.

Could it be that he fled because he was afraid of being investigated by the gang?

Recalling Chen Xuan's previous words and her own actions, Su Qingliu's pretty face turned cold, her fists clenched tightly, and an unnamed rage rose in her heart.

Damn it!

No one has ever treated me like this before.

She was just a woman, yet he could be so cruel?

Although I was filled with suppressed anger.

But undeniably, she currently has no reason to refute the other party!

If it really was Liu Zifeng and his group who started it, threatening Chen Xuan with his family and friends, then Chen Xuan beating them up was nothing.

Chen Xuan didn't kill them on the spot, which was already giving them face.

As for the letter I received, why didn't it mention this point?

It was obvious that he had been used as a pawn!

Someone wants to use him to put pressure on Chen Xuan!

Thinking of this, Su Qingliu almost immediately stood up, put on his shoes, and said in a muffled voice, "Call Jia Gui over and have them mobilize their manpower to find Chief Chen."

"Find Master Chen?"

Xiao Huan's eyes widened.

"You didn't inform the gang about what happened before, did you?"

Su Qingliu immediately looked at Xiao Huan.

"No, but I'm afraid others have already written to the gang!"

Xiao Huan said.

"Prepare the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. I will personally write a letter to the gang leader to clear his name."

Su Qingliu responded.

That's just how she is.

If the person is innocent, she will never let them suffer any loss.

If I was truly in the wrong, then even if I apologized to Chen Xuan in person, it wouldn't be a big deal.

"Yes, Master!"

Xiao Huan responded and quickly went downstairs.

Before long, the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone were ready.

Su Qingliu lifted the pen, but gasped in pain, cold sweat appearing on her swollen cheeks.

But she gritted her teeth and quickly wrote a personal letter, then had Xiao Huan affix her seal.

After doing all this, she immediately asked Xiao Huan to call Jia Gui and the others, and told them to mobilize their forces to go and find Chen Xuan.

...

Half an hour later.

Red Sand Gang Headquarters.

Gang leader Hong Wentong had already received Su Qingliu's secret letter. His gaze swept over it, and a smile immediately appeared on his face. Looking at the crowd before him, he said with a smile, "Everyone, there's no need to argue. This was all a misunderstanding. Qingliu has already replied. It was all her own impulsiveness and has nothing to do with Chen Xuan. She instructed me not to pursue Chen Xuan's responsibility. Qingliu is rarely this magnanimous!"

He had a smile on his face, but he seemed quite surprised inside.

Inside the main hall, those who had just been criticizing Chen Xuan and preparing to take him down were suddenly speechless, their brows furrowing.

Su Qingliu actually took the initiative to plead for Chen Xuan?

Is this really the sun rising in the west?

Didn't they say she was beaten by Chen Xuan?

He also said he was beaten badly and even lost consciousness at one point!

Why did she let it go so quickly?

Both the left and right protectors harbored some doubts.

"Chief, since it's a misunderstanding, let's leave it at that. We should nurture talent; such a young prodigy is truly an honor for our Red Sand Gang!"

Right Protector Xiang Tao smiled and said, "We must never be like Left Protector, who immediately shirks responsibility when something goes wrong, and even orders the other party to be captured and executed according to gang rules. Doing so will only discourage our subordinates. In the long run, who will dare to serve us!"

"Yes, Chief, the Right Protector is right. We are in need of capable people right now. In my opinion, this Chen Xuan is a good one. Although I have a grudge against him, what are these petty grievances compared to the great cause of the gang? Please, Chief, make sure to give this man an important position."

Fang Tingyun also cupped his hands in greeting.

"you!"

The Left Protector's expression changed drastically.

He did just advocate for Chen Xuan's execution.

Although he had given up on Chen Xuan after the last incident, he was still worried that Xiang Tao would use this incident to attack him this time. So, as soon as he came up, he took the initiative to distance himself from Chen Xuan and used harsh words, saying that he wanted to execute Chen Xuan to uphold the rules of the gang!

But never expected.

Su Qingliu pleaded for Chen Xuan's life!

The Right Protector and Fang Tingyun have also changed their tune!

He completely screwed himself over this time!

"Alright, you're all my right-hand men, what kind of behavior is this, arguing all the time?"

Hong Wentong chuckled and said, "Since Qingliu took the initiative to plead for him, it means that everything is really alright. The letter also said that if Chen Xuan returns, she will take him to the meeting, so we don't need to worry too much. Let's talk about other things first."

Everyone immediately nodded in agreement.

Another half hour passed.

Finally, the crowd began to disperse.

"Protector Xiang, should we tell Chen Xuan that Zuo Qiuyun betrayed him and wanted to kill him?"

Fang Tingyun's eyes flickered slightly, and she whispered.

"certainly!"

Xiang Tao said calmly with a smile, "I didn't expect Chen Xuan to be so powerful. Even Su Qingliu is no match for him. Although we can't use one tiger to devour another, telling Chen Xuan about this will be enough to make him and Zuo Qiuyun break up completely. Knowing Zuo Qiuyun as I do, he probably won't let Chen Xuan grow up. Just wait and see."

"Would he really make the first move?"

Fang Tingyun was astonished.

"Who can say for sure? Zuo Qiuyun is ruthless."

Xiang Tao chuckled.

No matter how the conflict between these two develops in the future, they will always be the ones who benefit.

...

Evening arrived.

The setting sun dyed the sky red.

There were even more boats at the dock.

The gang members searched everywhere for Chen Xuan's whereabouts.

Chen Xuan stood by the window of the inn, his eyes narrowed, and quietly observed for about an incense stick's time until he was sure they had come to find him, not to capture him, before he felt relieved.

"Did Su Qingliu let it go so quickly?"

It's better to let it go!

That way I won't have to wander the world!

With that thought in mind, he left the inn.

The entrance to a narrow alley.

Jia Gui searched around but couldn't find any trace of Chen Xuan. Just as he was about to find a place to have a couple of drinks, a figure suddenly flashed before his eyes, and Chen Xuan appeared in front of him.

"Master Chen!"

Jia Gui immediately spoke with delight.

"Is Chief Su alright?"

Chen Xuan asked casually.

"Um...it should be alright now."

Jia Gui chuckled awkwardly.

Anyway, I can see that she can eat and drink a lot.

Did she say anything?

Chen Xuan inquired.

"Chief Su said she'll personally apologize to you when she gets back!"

Jia Gui responded.

"Really? No axemen lying in ambush?"

Chen Xuan asked.

"No, absolutely not!"

Jia Gui was taken aback, and quickly replied.

"Okay, let's go then!"

Chen Xuan nodded and walked towards the helm.
