Chapter 43 Stay Here Alone In The Dark

Su Chen didn't care about Zhu Qing's threats.

In this game of chessboard, under Su Chen's deliberate actions, Zhu Qing's chess pieces kept felling without her having any prior knowledge until she was directly check-mated.

She was taken as a captive, strong martial-arts practitioners from her family which can pose a threat to Su family must have already started taking the fake medicinal powder and will soon be taken care of.

Worthy of being a family which has lived hundreds of years, their wealth can make countless jealuos.

The Zhu Family, which had amassed an astronomical cash value in billions, gold and other resources….about 85-90% of it was already paid in Su Chen's bank account by the auction house, thanks to the naive and foolish actions by Zhu Qing.

Money, people, self-independence almost all the self-reliance of Zhu Qing was shattered.

"Since now all the facts are in front of you should have understood your current situation."

"If you want to become a sinner by whose actions almost all the family elders got poisoned and died, you can still refuse to cooperate, it's not like I am suffering any loss", Su Chen's words were deep yet sincere.

If eyes could chew by staring, I don't know how many times Zhu Qing could have already chewed Su Chen.

In the dark room, only a few rays of lights were coming through the small opening of the door. The resentment in her glaring eyes gave a slight illusion as if her eyes were blood red.

"Su Ch.."

"Su Chen…"

"With all these cheap tricks, and imprisoning me, do you think you have won?"

-With heaving chests and long breaths, the spirit of Zhu Qing, far from being extinguished, was burning even more lively.

"As expected of a stupid heroine, who even after hearing all those nasty thoughts of Chu Fang, decides to take his side, thinking he will win for sure."

-Su Chen nodded his head in disapproval.

"I don't know where your overconfidence comes from, oh yeah, maybe it's because you have some sort of connection with him as Zhu is his aunt's family, right?"

"Plus as an old family, you must also have some understanding of the so-called sons of luck, the heavenly-chosen ones, that's why you are on Chu Fang's side".

-Hearing Su Chen's words that were spot-on, Zhu Qing kept her mouth shut and didn't dare make any eye-contact but when Su Chen spoke there was a slight shock in her eyes which was instantly captured under Su Chen's profound gaze.

'Yes, there have been some ancient records in my grandfather's secret library which mentioned that once in many years, there are born people who have extremely terrifying-luck. Whatever he wants will happen, whether right or wrong, whether moral or immoral, only his actions and decisions are right as if they are acknowledged by heaven itself', Zhu Qing further tried to recall all information in her small brain.

'To get an advantage out of this information, her grandfather spent a lot of resources and offerings to heaven and earth, and at the same time invited many prophecy masters to judge in which age this evil-doer will be born. With all of it, they finally managed to deduce that he will be born in his granddaughter's that is Zhu Qing's era.

Once they realize his identity beforehand, they will decisively become his most reliable ally. With their amassed wealth and resources, the heaven-chosen one will welcome them with open hands and under his luck and lead they shall usher to a road of unprecedented development and achieve the greatness their ancestors always wished for.'

-Piece by piece everything was recalled in Zhu Qing's mind.

Zhu Qing's mind was a little scared, a little shocked~

She till now, only thought that Su Chen somehow knew what would happen in the future because of getting some ancient artifact and was cautious of Chu Fang thus, will never attack so actively.

Initially, her mind was very happy, thinking that she had successfully found out Chu Fang, the heaven-chosen one as per her ancestor's instructions. She was just waiting to confirm the fact before reporting it to her family. The moment she reports, all elders, under the patriarch's lead, will invite Chu Fang to the most important position in their family and will support him unconditionally.

But the reality is too unfair, she met and fell under Su Chen's abacus, aware of most of her thoughts by now, How can Su Chen let this fantasy of hers come to reality? He admits that life is a journey that all must walk-on but that doesn't mean stretching out his neck openly for others to make a wedding-dress.

The thought of herself being a character in a novel or the wildest possibility of Su Chen being a transmigrator never crossed her mind as such complex things she can't comprehend.

Her arrogance and self-confidence that she was real never allowed her to accept such facts even if evidence was in front of her.

"Su Chen, you can't break my spirit",

-Hearing the same words by Zhu Qing again and again, Su Chen got bored.

Since the other party, even after losing everything, refuses to cooperate, Why bother wasting time?

"Just stay here in darkness and rot alone, sometimes you realize that being alone and lonely is one of the cruellest things one can imagine, I will see you next time. Hopefully, you can talk properly by then!"

"Even if you die by committing suicide it won't matter, it will just mean that the eldest daughter of the famous Zhu Family was just a coward in the end. Who knows, by a fluke, maybe someone…your father or perhaps that Chu fang does eventually manage to come to save you."

"Tsk..tskk, think about it….they come to save you somehow but find out that you have already committed suicide, What the plight of their mind be, haha!"

-it was like a final needle inserted into her throat, yes, she had thought of committing suicide as soon as Su Chen left the room. As someone who has already seen cruelest of things, she knew the dark fate of being a prisoner. With various torture techniques or heck, she may be subjected to gang-rapes, sexuality, drugs etc, she didn't have the confidence that she will be able to keep her sanity and keep all the secrets, therefore, in her mind suicide was the best course of action.

If Su Chen could hear her thoughts, he would laugh out loud. What more information does he need to know from her? In front of Su Chen, her secrets were as vivid as a piece of paper.

All of this was Su Chen playing with her mind~

Giving her a small faint hope to live by telling her that someone may eventually come to save her. Even if the possibility was unreal, Su Chen spoke so dexterously that she was forced to believe in it.

-Without giving Zhu Qing any further glance, Su Chen decisively went out of the room.

Watching him disappear, Zhu Qing's eyes showed mixed colours.

"Damn, he is right. I was foolish to even think that suicide is the easiest way. I must hold on, someone will definitely come to save me!"

-Under Su Chen's clever words, her thought-process was easily adjusted.

When the maids on the outside of the room saw Su Chen coming out they bowed their heads in respect.

"Keep the guard up, at the end of the day she is still a martial art practitioner who can easily empower bodyguards in the villa and make an escape if given the slightest chance."

"Just give her enough food and water to survive and beat her up if she dares to scream or make unnecessary trouble."

"Understood!"

"We understand"

-Both the maids, who were trained assassins sent by his mom to secretly guard him nodded at Su Chen's words, knowing the seriousness of the situation.

Su Chen started walking to the living room where Chu Chenxi was leisurely sitting on the sofa watching some romantic drama.

Sages have spoken since ages,

A little snuggle and tender embrace with your girl at home, and all your day's fatigue will be as if it was an illusion.

"Let's sleep with Chenxi today, I will be going to the capital soon. It will take some days to have quality-time with her once I leave."

For a couple who are alone at night the fire of passion is unavoidable. The tenderness of the last sex-session and Chenxi's blushing face ignited the fire inside Su Chen.

But just as he was about to cross the corridor and reach the living room, the bell of the villa reverberated.

Su Chen, tired already decided to ignore it, the maids will take care of and send off whoever dares to disturb at this late hour.

Ding~

Ding~

Ding~

-The doorbell kept ringing repeatedly to the point of being annoying.

In anger, Su Chen called a maid.

"See who the damn is out of his mind, ringing the doorbell so crazily."

"And is the security guard at the outside-gate, and all those bodyguards I hired sleeping?…That they allow someone to ring the bell so fearlessly at this late at night?"

"Don't be angry young master, I will see who is there."

-The maid seeing the anger on Su Chen's face ran out as fast as she could to find out the situation.
