Chen Zhen licked his lips, swallowed hard, and the amazement in his eyes gradually turned into greed.

His gaze was too intense, and everyone present could see what he meant, except for Su Jin, who had a faint smile on her lips, as if she were a pure white lotus flower that knew nothing.

Su Jinxia was extremely beautiful, and after being cared for at Phoenix Pavilion for several months, she became even more radiant.

On ordinary days, apart from being pretentious in front of Shen Qianxue, she was either cold-faced or had an outstanding demeanor that made people dare not have the slightest evil intentions.

At this moment, she concealed her sharp edges, her eyes smiling, her beauty combined with her innocence, truly making one's heart itch with desire.

Chen Zhen calmed himself down and his gaze towards Li Wenci softened considerably. "Since we're from the same village, you should stay with me. I won't mistreat you."

As he spoke, Chen Zhen called out, "Someone, prepare four excellent rooms for our distinguished guests."

Su Jin smiled gently, bowed obediently, and said, "Thank you."

Li Wenci stared blankly at Su Jinxia, ​​wondering what Su Jinxia was up to.

Having come this far, Li Wenci knew that Su Jin was a shrewd person, so how could she not understand Chen Zhen's look just now?

Once outside, Li Wenci looked at Su Jinxia with a hesitant expression, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

Su Jinxia gently supported her, patted her hand, and soothed her anxiety.

Yue Ziqi also frequently glanced at Su Jinxia, ​​feeling very curious.

From Tianyang City to Qishan, Su Jinxia spent every day eating and sleeping with Mai Zizi. He really couldn't see any potential in her to be the young master.

Now, venturing deep into the lion's den, what is the reason for this behavior?

What a strange woman.

However, if Chen Zhen dares to harbor evil intentions, he will risk his life to rescue Su Jinxia.

Thinking this, Yue Ziqi gripped the sword in his hand tightly. It was given to him by Su Jinxia and was extremely valuable. This was an unparalleled trust, and he would not let Su Jinxia down, much less the Han family.

Su Jin was assigned to a secluded courtyard, far away from Li Wenci and Yue Ziqi.

The sun gradually set.

A servant brought over a sumptuous meal, which Su Jin ate to her heart's content.

Hot water and clean clothes were brought over, and Su Jin took a comfortable hot bath to wash away the fatigue of the past few days.

She changed into a pink tulle dress as thin as a cicada's wing, which made her skin look fair and radiant, and her eyes were bright and sparkling, captivating the heart with their gentle, flowing light.

When Shi Lang walked into the courtyard and looked out the window, he saw this beautiful woman.

When the beauty's gaze fell upon him, he suddenly realized what was happening and hurriedly ran inside.

"Miss, the guards are changing shifts right now, you must hurry!" Shi Lang said urgently.

Su Jin lay back on the chaise lounge, gently resting her hand on her forehead, her breath sweet as orchids, "Why did you leave?"

Shi Lang stamped his feet anxiously, but he didn't know how to bring up those sensitive matters with Su Jin.

"In short, Chen Zhen will be a threat to you. If you want to live a good life, you'd better leave now."

Su Jin admired the beautiful pattern on her sleeves and sincerely asked, "I've heard that Chen Zhen has committed arson, murder, and robbery, and has done all sorts of evil deeds. Does Lord Shi help others like this every time he commits a crime?"

Shi Lang was taken aback, then looked ashamed. "Of course not. Too many people died. How could I possibly tell everyone? Even if I did, how far could they escape?"

I feel ashamed, but in the end, I did nothing.

Su Jin, seemingly unconcerned, raised her delicate eyebrows and said, "I heard that you two raised the banner of rebellion together. How come he is called the King of Zhen, while you are only addressed as Lord Shi?"

"To kill someone is to destroy their spirit," Su Jinxia said, her innocent eyes wide as she uttered those hurtful words.

Shi Lang gritted his teeth, speechless.

What could he say?

To say he's incompetent? To say he can't control Chen Zhen? To say that Chen Zhen not only ignored his advice but also dared to threaten him?

Chen Zhen was skilled in martial arts, and he also had a large group of thugs and ruffians under his command, none of whom were easy to mess with.

Shi Lang is no match for Chen Zhen.

Everything is different from what I expected.

"Oh~" Su Jinxia suddenly realized, "Lord Shi, you're probably not a hypocrite, but actually one of the same scoundrels. Otherwise, how could you have gotten together with me?"

Shi Lang quickly waved his hand, "No, I thought that I would be in charge of planning and he would be in charge of fighting, which would complement each other perfectly. Who knew that his ambition and desires were completely uncontrolled, that he treated human life as worthless, and that he was capable of anything. His subordinates followed his example, and everything got out of control."

Shi Lang's eyes held fear, disdain, and disgust; he was genuinely afraid of being perceived as being the same kind of person as Chen Zhen.

"Really? Is it too late for me to run now?" Su Jin covered her lips with her slender fingers and exclaimed in surprise.

Shi Lang shook himself off and muttered, "There's still time, come with me!"

"Bang!"

The door was suddenly kicked open.

Chen Zhen, his face dark and his whole being exuding a murderous aura, stepped into the room.

Shi Lang was forced to retreat repeatedly by Chen Zhen's imposing manner, and was so frightened that his soul almost left his body.

Chen Zhen squinted, stepped forward, grabbed Shi Lang by the neck, lifted him up, and angrily said, "You've got some nerve, daring to ruin my plans behind my back!"

"No, let go, let go of me..." Shi Lang uttered a few words intermittently, his face turning red.

Chen Zhen had great strength; he could easily strangle Shi Lang to death in one fell swoop.

Although Chen Zhen was angry, he did not kill Shi Lang. Shi Lang was knowledgeable and he needed Shi Lang's advice to fight against the imperial army.

So, after pinching for a while and seeing that Shi Lang was about to die, Chen Zhen let go.

"If you dare to meddle again, I won't let you off..."

Chen Zhen's threatening words came to an abrupt halt.

Su Jinxia appeared behind Chen Zhen like a ghost, stabbing him in the spine without anyone noticing.

Chen Zhen's body stiffened, and then he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Su Jin gave him no time to catch his breath, plunging a knife into Chen Zhen's heart, ending his sordid life.

The mighty Prince Zhen, who had disturbed the peace of the southeast and was feared by the imperial court, died so easily.

Without any warning.

The Shilang Petrochemical Plant remains in place.

Before he came, he had thought that Su Jinxia might get into trouble, and he might also get into trouble, but he never expected that it would be Chen Zhen who got into trouble, and that the one who did it was the seemingly weak girl.

They killed Chen Zhen, who was a headache for the imperial army, so easily.

Shi Lang looked at Su Jinxia with confusion in his eyes, but even more so with shock.

Su Jinxia leisurely sat back down in her seat and said with a smile, "You see, he's dead and can't do evil anymore. Lord Shi, why don't we talk about what to do next?"

Shi Lang realized what was happening, but his expression turned even more terrified. "You've gotten yourself into big trouble! Chen Zhen's men are all vicious thugs just like him. They only ever listened to Chen Zhen. Now that he's dead, no one can control them!"

Su Jin chuckled lightly, as if Chen Zhen had ever managed them.

Oh, no, I've managed it.

Who cares about their food, clothing, shelter, transportation, or their pursuit of pleasure!

Su Jinxia's eyebrows did not move, and she lightly scolded, "What are you panicking about? Chen Zhen is dead, so you are the leader of the rebel army. As long as you obey me, I will guarantee you peace of mind."
