The moment he saw Hua Yuerong, Su Chen's eyes flickered briefly, only for half a second, and then he immediately returned to normal.
Most people in the audience didn't notice it, and they still saw that he was as calm and composed as ever, without any guilt or panic.
But there was still one person who caught it, and that was Hua Yuerong, who was standing opposite him and looking at him.
In fact, it was precisely because of the eye contact with Hua Yuerong that Su Chen felt guilty and remorseful for a moment.
Originally, according to Su Chen's current mentality and cultivation level, he would not have made such a low-level mistake.
It's not that he didn't expect to meet Hua Yuerong at the banquet tonight, but the only thing he didn't expect was Hua Yuerong's appearance and the sad and painful look in her eyes.
He felt Hua Yuerong's endless sorrow and overwhelming pain from her eyes.
Apart from this, there was no other color, no resentment and anger as imagined. She had no resentment towards Su Chen, only countless pain and sorrow.
And this is what deeply touched Su Chen.
Originally, Hua Yuerong was not sure that Su Chen killed her father. Even though there were people around her and brainwashing her every day, she still maintained some trust in Su Chen.
But all this trust disappeared completely with the half-second flash in Su Chen's eyes just now.
At this moment, she was almost certain that her father was killed by her medical treatment!
At this moment, she felt dizzy, and endless pain and sorrow swept over her heart, completely consuming her already limited energy. Her body lost support, her eyes went black, and she fell down.
Like a butterfly with broken wings, it fell down helplessly.
This scene immediately frightened many people.
Obviously, no one expected that Hua Yuerong would suddenly fall into a coma and faint.
Su Chen's heart was beating wildly. Completely as a conditioned reflex, Su Chen rushed over and grabbed Hua Yuerong's waist as she was falling, preventing her from falling.
As soon as he hugged Hua Yuerong, Su Chen immediately felt that Hua Yuerong had lost weight, and a lot of weight. She was weak and powerless, like a kite, floating lightly.
"You bastard! Let my sister go!"
After a brief moment of shock, Hua Xingwei saw Su Chen hugging Hua Yuerong. He suddenly became furious and punched Su Chen hard in the face.
He used so much force in this punch that even an elephant would have been knocked unconscious on the spot.
Su Chen saw this punch. He had at least a hundred ways to dodge it easily, but he didn't do so.
Because he was still hugging Hua Yuerong at this time, any movement he made would hurt Hua Yuerong. Hua Yuerong was too weak at this time and could not withstand any tossing.
Therefore, Su Chen did not dodge and took Hua Xingwei's punch firmly.
With a bang, Su Chen's head was displaced by the punch and tilted backwards, and at the same time, Su Chen took half a step back.
But fortunately, Hua Yuerong in his arms was not affected at all.
The whole place fell silent immediately. No one expected that Su Chen would not be able to dodge the punch and would be beaten badly.
The key point is that Su Chen is no longer the same as before. Tonight's banquet was held for Su Chen. He is the absolute protagonist, but he was punched by Hua Xingwei...
This matter could be a big deal or a small one. If Su Chen was petty and went to complain to the general, saying that he had been wronged in the provincial capital, or even mentioned it briefly in public, then they would all be implicated.
For a moment, they all glared at Hua Xingwei rudely and cursed at him.
"Hua Xingwei! Are you crazy?!"
"Hua Xingwei, who told you to attack Su Yingxiong?"
"Hua Xingwei, you are so brave!!"
Facing the criticism from thousands of people, Hua Xingwei was also in a daze. He never thought that Su Chen would not dodge his punch. According to Su Chen's martial arts skills, he should have been able to dodge it easily.
Facing so many people's accusations, Hua Xingwei immediately realized that he had really done something wrong, and he couldn't help but feel fear and regret.
However, he was also a stubborn person, unwilling to admit his mistakes. Instead, he stretched his neck and said loudly: "Why are you panicking? I, Hua Xingwei, will take responsibility for my own actions and will not implicate you!"
He still looked at Su Chen with hatred and asked Su Chen to let go of Hua Yuerong.
Su Chen frowned. It was true that he felt a little ashamed of Hua Yuerong, but he had never done anything wrong to Hua Xingwei. He said coldly, "Today, for the sake of the many powerful people in the provincial capital, I will not argue with you. Now, please get out of my sight immediately!"
Hua Xingwei was very dissatisfied when he heard this. He wanted to say something, but the next moment someone covered his mouth and dragged him away violently.
Immediately, a middle-aged man came out to apologize and calm Su Chen down.
Su Chen was not stingy. The punch just now did not cause much damage to Su Chen. It was just a little painful and he would be fine soon.
Besides, Su Chen did kill Grand Tutor Hua, and he was holding Hua Yuerong in his arms at the moment, so he was not in the mood to argue with the other party.
"It's a small matter. The last thing Grand Tutor Hua did before he disappeared was to cause trouble for me. It's understandable that his family thinks I'm responsible for his disappearance." Grand Tutor Hua said, "But in matters like this, the innocent are always innocent. I've already reported this to the authorities, and they've confirmed it. I'm upright and have a clear conscience."
