Actually, Su Chen knew Wu Xu and had seen him on TV. However, this was the first time they met in real life.
Wu Xu is fifty years old this year, but he looks only forty-five. He has a good complexion and is in good spirits. This shows that he pays great attention to maintenance and lives a good life.
Although Su Chen had never met Wu Xu before, he was very familiar with Wu Xu. It was not that he took the initiative to pay attention to him, but Wu Jianye mentioned Wu Xu in front of him many times recently, and his ears were callused.
He had always been on guard against Wu Xu's revenge, and knew that he would run into Wu Xu one day, but he had never expected it to be in this way.
To be honest, Su Chen was also surprised when he saw Wu Xu.
You must know that the people who died in the Dragon and Tiger Hunting Ground this time were not ordinary people, but powerful dignitaries. The impact on Longcheng was extremely huge. As the lord of a city, could Wu Xu really do such a crazy and insane thing?
Or is this just a coincidence?
In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Su Chen's mind.
"Human nature is truly complex. A vicious murderer could be so devout in love that he was still concerned about his girlfriend even when he was dying."
This was the first sentence Wu Xu said to Su Chen after he sat down. There was a hint of emotion in his tone, as if it really came from the heart.
But Su Chen immediately realized that Wu Xu was threatening him in a roundabout way!
In other words, Wu Xu was not trying the case simply as the city lord, but was hostile to him!
A hint of coldness flashed across Su Chen's eyes, but he regained his composure the next moment, revealing a faint smile. He also spoke, "Yes, human nature is indeed complicated. As the lord of a city, with so many things to deal with every day, he actually reached out to the police department under such a busy situation. Do you think this is too ambitious, or does he love the people like his own children?"
Wu Xu and Su Chen's eyes met again, both of them maintaining their expressions, and sparks seemed to fly in the air through the glass.
The next moment, Wu Xu smiled softly, averted his gaze, and said, "It's hard to believe that this is the kind of mental quality a young man under thirty can possess. If my son could be half as good as you, I, as a father, would be grinning."
He spoke to Su Chen in a casual tone, and there was no sign that there was any grudge between him and Su Chen.
Only those who understand the situation know that Wu Xu's words were not really a compliment to Su Chen, but were just a flattery to Su Chen.
Su Chen also laughed, "City Lord Wu, you are a bit unrealistic."
When Wu Xu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Hahahaha..."
He laughed loudly and sounded hearty, but Su Chen could tell that he was angry.
So Su Chen also narrowed his eyes and smiled brightly.
After laughing, Wu Xu stared at Su Chen again and said, "I'm curious, where do you get the confidence from? Do you think you can escape?"
Su Chen crossed his legs and smiled softly, "Are you not pretending anymore?"
"Pretending?" Wu Xu shook his head and said, "This city lord doesn't understand what you are talking about."
Su Chen said, "I'm very curious. As the lord of a city, why would you do something so outrageous? Aren't you afraid of being doomed if it gets out?"
Wu Xu was stunned for a moment, then said, "From what you said, it seems that you think that the murder at the Dragon and Tiger Hunting Ground was committed by me?"
He looked completely surprised.
Su Chen was always observing his expression. He had to admit that Wu Xu's acting skills were superb, as he was able to reach such a high position as the city lord. He was much better than the average actor.
On the surface, Wu Xu's reaction was perfect, without a single flaw. An ordinary person would definitely not be able to notice it.
But his superb acting skills did not deceive Su Chen, because Su Chen could directly observe all the subtle changes in Wu Xu, including the slight change in Wu Xu's breath and a series of physiological reactions. At such a close distance, Wu Xu had no secrets in Su Chen's eyes.
So Su Chen instantly came to a conclusion, that is, the incident at the Dragon and Tiger Hunting Ground was indeed related to Wu Xu!
It is very likely that Wu Xu directly arranged it.
After learning the news, Su Chen was still very shocked. It can be said that he was much more surprised than when he was arrested at Qilin Restaurant last night.
You have to know that Wu Xu is the lord of Longcheng, and those who died in the Dragon and Tiger Hunting Ground were all powerful people in the upper class of Longcheng, and every family behind them was not simple.
If this truth were to be revealed, even if Wu Xu was the lord of Dragon City, he would not be able to bear it!
Most importantly, what was the significance of Wu Xu doing this? He was clearly the Lord of Dragon City, and could be said to be the most powerful and influential person in Dragon City.
What is the reason that caused Wu Xu to do such a crazy thing?
"What is your purpose in risking such great disapproval from the world?"
Su Chen began to talk to himself, and seemed to be talking to Wu Xu.
"You're clearly the Lord of Dragon City, the most powerful person in the city. Under the Great Xia system, you're essentially a local tyrant. Logically, you shouldn't have to do this. Yet, you did it anyway, and you did it so boldly and thoroughly. Seizing this opportunity, you decided to kill so many young dignitaries in one fell swoop."
"Could it be that you were parachuted into Dragon City, and in the past few years, your position hasn't been very stable, and you haven't been able to complete your absolute rule over Dragon City, so you want to cut off the source of power? Kill so many powerful people in one go, and through a series of subsequent operations, you will naturally be able to consolidate the power of Dragon City..."
