Chapter 529 Formerly, the One Spared by a Gun

    

, the brother and sister have both done such things, and they even got caught by me filming it all! Zhang Yanxing must hate me to the core now!"No need for a send-off dinner tonight. Wang Zheng and I...Chapter 529: The Former Gunman's Mercy (Su Tianran understood the meaning behind his father's words.)

Due to confining Su Tiyan, Su Tianqi, and their cousins by restricting their personal freedom and cutting off all communication, Su Tianran had already faced opposition from most of the Su family. Especially Aunt Qian Lijiong, who almost caused a scene in the estate every day, completely tearing apart any familial pretense. To avoid further disturbances, Su Tianran left home for several days.

However, no matter how much trouble Qian Lijiong caused, it couldn't budge Xiao Chenyu, the diligent gate guardian, even an inch. He would stand at the door all day long, twirling his golden saber or occasionally using it to trim his nails. Qian Lijiong could do nothing against this cold-faced enforcer.

Although Uncle Su Nan Guo didn't say anything, any father would be displeased when seeing others confining their child.

A silent undercurrent was brewing within the Su family centered around Su Tianran.

This wasn't just happening internally; news of Su Tianran's actions had leaked out. The high-society individuals were buzzing with discussions about his behavior, although many wealthy families experienced internal strife, none openly broke ties like Su Tianran did; such open defiance was rare indeed.

Of course, this was likely orchestrated by someone intentionally spreading the news of Su Tianran's confinement of his brothers to create chaos. Such chaos would be highly detrimental to Su Tianran, causing him a significant loss in popularity and support within the family.

"Actually, looking at it this way, I even suspect that this case is targeting me specifically, rather than Wang Zheng or the Su family," Su Tianran frowned slightly as he said, "Of course, this could also be part of an intricate scheme where no one benefits—whether it's Wang Zheng, Xu Shuliang, the Su family, or myself. Everyone involved would suffer losses. A mere slip-up and everything is gone."

Su Beijiang also nodded: "This is indeed a chain plot, and the person behind it is indeed very capable."

"If Wang Zheng died in that explosion, then there would be nothing for the Su family to worry about, and the other side would have achieved one of their small goals. But if Wang Zheng didn't die, and the Su family took advantage of Xu Shuliang's death to fight to the death with Wang Zheng, ending up mutually destructive, it would benefit the person behind them."

After a pause, Su Tianran continued: "Of course, from the current outcome, I am actually the biggest casualty. This time imprisoning my brother and sister-in-law likely ruined my reputation. This scheme is indeed vicious and very clever."

Su Tianran said with a bitter smile, "If Wang Zheng himself hadn't nearly been blown to pieces, I would have even suspected that he was behind it all."

"Wang Zheng is the mastermind" Su Beijiang's eyes lit up as a fierce light flashed in them: "Given how severely our family has suffered losses, this possibility can't be ruled out."

"This time it wasn't him. Wang Zheng couldn't just stand by and watch Chen Kang suffer such great harm. If he were capable of doing that, if he could indeed be so ruthless, then I would admit right now that I am no match for Wang Zheng."

Yes, Su Tianran believed he was not a cruel person.

Hearing this, Su Beijiang smiled slightly; somehow today he had unexpectedly many smiles.

"Do you know what the old man thinks of you" Su Beijiang asked.

Su Tianran苦笑道, "He thinks I'm not ruthless enough."

Su Beijiang sighed deeply: "It's impossible for everyone to be like him. To be honest, when I heard the old man say that, I finally felt relieved."

Su Tianran was stunned, staring at Su Beijiang for a long time before he said very seriously, "Thank you, Father."

"The air outside is really nice." Wang Zheng had slept in a dayroom of the National Security Bureau for three days, well-fed and pampered every day. He probably gained two pounds from all that comfort, which was, of course, thanks to He Yan's secret instructions.

What had originally been a situation where both his family and Su’s would be severely weakened or he himself would be hunted down by the government until death had dramatically turned out like this.

Wang Zheng realized that such a result was entirely due to Su's side not pressing for an investigation. As for why they didn't pursue it, Wang Zheng speculated that it must largely be because of Su Tianran.

This cautious person wouldn’t drag his entire family into such dangerous risks. Because Su Tianran knew very well that cornered dogs and desperate rabbits would fight fiercely; their last-ditch efforts were extremely lethal. No one understood this better than him.

Several times, Wang Zheng even wondered if the mastermind behind everything had carelessly overlooked him or was setting up an even bigger trap. So now, the great killer Wang is really being very cautious.

Perhaps, Wang Zheng will never imagine that the person behind this incident is merely someone who seeks revenge for grievances and returns favors. This time he suddenly let go based on a reason no one could have guessed.

Because during the final battle of the Golden Triangle involving dragon scales, whether by chance or design, Wang Zheng's gun was aimed at him but he never fired a shot.

Hence, this person behind everything has already died once and regardless of the true reason for Wang Zheng’s restraint, he always remembered it in his heart.

He eventually wanted to kill Wang Zheng, but this time didn't go all out because there was something on his mind. By letting Wang Zheng off this time, his inner demon would disappear; an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, after that he could act even more recklessly without worrying about repaying the favor of Wang Zheng not firing.

He had even thought about it: when one day he points a gun at Wang Zheng, he mustn't kill him immediately but find out why the other party showed mercy in such a critical moment—when they could have fired.

The number of people who can threaten his life is counted on one hand. While Wang Zheng's physical strength and intelligence aren't as formidable as his, he is still among this select few.

For no other reason than because Wang Zheng is a prodigy-like figure who often bursts with superhuman potential at critical moments; that infinite potential is Wang Zheng’s greatest trump card!inesses across Fuzhou, and giving half away would surely weaken their power significantly!"That's right, and it’s the most profitable half. We can leave out those small inns, hotels, and internet cafe...
