Chapter: 5332

"Su Zhenfei asked eagerly: 'Then what happened?'"

"'The two people who opened fire threw their bodies into the roadside ditch, then pulled me out of the car and sent me back to that farmhouse...'"

"What?! Su Zhenfei looked puzzled: 'Why did they send you back again?'"

"'They thought I was still unconscious and didn't know anything, so they discussed in the car whether to send me back to that farmhouse, then use guns to force that couple to take good care of me until I recovered, and only after I left would they deal with that couple. But they didn't know that I had heard all their conversations.'"

"As he spoke, Su Zhenfei looked at Ye Chen with gratitude: 'Sir, the two people in the car discussed whether to report this incident to Chen's office at Buckingham Palace, but they also felt that it was a minor matter and that I might encounter similar situations again in the future. As long as my safety is guaranteed, there's no need to report every time. So I knew then that you were secretly arranging for someone to protect me...'"

"Su Zhenfei suddenly knelt down on the ground, deeply bowing his head with gratitude: 'Thank you, Sir, three or four times for saving my life. I will never forget it!'"

"Ye Chen stretched out his hand to help Su Zhenfei up, speaking calmly: 'You don't need to thank me for this matter. You are Du's son and Su's brother, and you're not a person who has committed ten evils. So, from the perspective of humanity and justice, I couldn't take your life. That's why I let you go to worship; actually, my intention was to let you undergo ascetic practices...'"

"'Although I never went to worship, I have been experiencing various hardships since I was eight years old until I was twenty-seven years old, a period of nearly twenty years. These hardships in my view are also a kind of ascetic practice;...'"

"'Ascetic practices can temper one's heart and soul, grind down one's willpower, and reshape one's spirit. No matter whether you were indulged in luxuries or humbled by poverty, you can find transformation through ascetic practices...'"

"If you can achieve these things, it will be good for you and your family;"

"If you cannot achieve them, at least you'll receive a stern warning and have a sense of fear and awe, which will definitely make you more cautious in the future;"

As he said this, Ye Chen's tone changed, saying firmly: "However, I must not let you risk your life on the path of ascetic practices! If that happens, all of this would not only depart from my initial intention, but I also won't be able to account for it to Du Aunt and Su Miss;"

Since determining that Su Family was unrelated to the death of parents, Ye Chen never thought about taking the lives of any members in Su Family. He could let them off with a slap on the wrist and make peace, what's more, just because of someone like Su Zhenfei.

He had also secretly arranged for someone to protect Su Zhenfei all along, which was done out of consideration for Du Haiqing and Su Zhenfei himself. He went to pray at Daxiaotemple, unlike Kong Delong who rode a bicycle to Jinling on his own, the latter having a bicycle and passing through areas that were all major economic zones in Huaxia, where as long as he didn't get careless, there was basically no risk of losing his life.

But Su Zhenfei was different, with the environment getting worse and more dangerous by the day. If someone wasn't secretly protecting him, it would be disastrous if he died along the way, and I wouldn't know how to account for it to Du Haiqing and Su Zhenfei himself.

Su Zhenfei also knew that Ye Chen had arranged for someone to protect him, not because of any real kindness towards him, but out of consideration for his mother and sister.

However, he still felt grateful to Ye Chen, grateful that he had woken him up from his previous daze.

"So, he spoke to Ye Chen with utmost sincerity: 'Mr. Ye, regardless of your motives, I am still grateful for your second chance!'"

Ye Chen looked at him and said calmly: "It seems you have also woken up from your previous daze, and this time if you don't want to continue, you can just stop now."

As soon as Ye Chen spoke, Su Zhenfei's face turned pale along with Du Haiqing and his mother. Su Zhenfei thought to himself that he must be hearing things wrong.

Su Zhenfei was thinking to himself that this was not the time to stop, as they had only just started their journey and had only completed one-third of it, which was the easiest part. The remaining two-thirds would be the most challenging, with the road getting tougher and more treacherous as they went higher.

Ye Chen's words were not entirely sincere.

He was just trying to see if Su Zhenfei was truly reformed or not.

If Su Zhenfei was genuinely reformed and decided to give up his old self, he would definitely choose to continue on this journey.

But if he still harbored selfish thoughts, he would surely grasp this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. JrNovels.com
