Chapter 632: Those Words Were Meant for You

"My Lord actually admitted it?"

Facing such candor from Chen Xing, it was Shen Yu who was left at a loss, not knowing what to say for a moment. He sat down opposite Chen Xing, quietly meeting his gaze.

Just before this, Shen Yu had roughly guessed that Mou Qing was protected by Chen Xing, and he could clearly feel that he seemed to be guided step by step to subvert his perception of Chen Xing and shatter his respect for him.

To put it bluntly, they had indeed succeeded, and Shen Yu had not expected that Chen Xing would not deny it at all upon meeting. Before he could even speak, he had directly admitted everything.

When an idol's image is shattered, those who once deeply worshipped their idol are the most frantic.

However, Shen Yu had never regarded Chen Xing as an idol; or rather, he was full of respect for a person like Chen Xing, but there were some things he truly could not learn.

Whether in the imperial court or the pugilistic world, whenever Chen Xing was mentioned, people would say he was a loyal and righteous man with an iron backbone, neither servile nor overbearing.

Even those treacherous villains or great bandits, even if they belonged to two different factions, would involuntarily feel full of respect when mentioning Lord Chen.

But if the information he had just obtained was all true, then the perfect halo would fade from Lord Chen Xing.

When he first learned that this matter might be related to this Lord Chen, Shen Yu had actually always held a skeptical attitude.

However, he had never thought about killing Lord Chen; as long as he was not truly absolutely heinous, Lord Chen could not die.

Lord Chen Xing supported this sky with his own strength; if he were gone, those who vied for power and profit in this world would suddenly increase, and it might become completely chaotic.

"What is there to not admit!" Shaking his head, Chen Xing was quite calm about this, seemingly without the slightest avoidance.

"Not only Mou Qing, in fact, over these years, this old man has protected many people, and among these people, many are those who deserved to die."

"If you, Shen Yu, continue to investigate, you will find that, in fact, I cannot be considered a good person; I am also ruthless, and I also scheme against others—I am absolutely not a good person!"

"I didn't expect that the Lord would have such an evaluation of himself!" Smiling, Shen Yu looked at the other party with some confusion.

"Is the Lord not afraid?"

"Afraid of what? Afraid that you will kill me? Will you kill me?"

With a light smile, Chen Xing handed over the teacup on the table, chatting with Shen Yu as if facing an old friend.

"Indeed, this old man has done many things over these years, but this old man never regrets them, nor do I have the slightest guilt. Everything this old man has done is to let more people live better; this old man has a clear conscience!"

While speaking, Chen Xing looked at Shen Yu again, his eyes calm, seemingly without a ripple.

"They want you to kill me, but they miscalculated this old man, and they also miscalculated you. Although you hate evil, you are not the impulsive type."

"You have a sense of the big picture; let alone that this old man has a clear conscience, even if I were guilty, you would not strike to kill!"

"Lord Chen is indeed clear-sighted!" Picking up the tea and taking a sip, Shen Yu did not treat himself as an outsider at all.

Before coming, he had also thought about how he would respond if Lord Chen admitted to this matter.

But when truly facing such a situation, he found that he seemed very calm, completely without any impulsive feelings like rage.

Subsequently, Shen Yu gave an inexplicable smile and looked meaningfully at this Lord Chen; this old fellow's grasp of the human heart was truly formidable.

"Although this old man is old, these eyes are not yet blind. Lord Shen, we are actually the same kind of people!"

"Lord Chen, you are overpraising me!" Shaking his head and smiling, the other party was truly for the country and the people, while he himself killed evil for the sake of the system's check-in rewards.

Others all thought he hated evil, but in reality, his purpose was never that pure. On this point, he admitted it, and there was nothing to avoid.

"Shen Yu, this person Mou Qing was corrupt and broke the law; he indeed deserved to die, but the bloodline on him is extraordinary."

"There are some things I cannot tell you clearly, but I can only tell you that he could not die. However, now that he is already dead, everything is no longer important."

"Shen Yu, do you trust this old man?"

"I trust you!"

"Good!" Nodding, Chen Xing caught his breath and continued, "There are some things that this old man indeed needs your help with, and I am afraid that in this world, only you, Lord Shen Yu, have this capability."

"However, they wanted you to come and kill me, yet I am asking you for help; I wonder what those who schemed against me will think when they find out."

And at this moment, in the teahouse, the white-haired and white-bearded old man was still confronting the Dahuzi; the two seemed to have been sitting there the whole time, never having left.

If there was any change, it might be that the game on the Chessboard in front of them had changed; it should have been a restarted game.

"Leader, Shen Yu has entered the Chen residence!" While placing a Chess Piece, the white-haired old man mentioned it nonchalantly.

Hearing the white-haired old man's words, Dahuzi showed no sign, as if he were wholeheartedly devoted to the game, pondering the changes in the game.

In the end, the white-haired old man was a bit impatient and said with some worry, "Is the Leader not afraid that Shen Yu will not take action against Chen Xing?"

"That is Chen Xing; his silver tongue is known to all. Moreover, Chen Xing's prestige is there; will Shen Yu really take action?"

"He will not take action!" Shaking his head, Dahuzi gave an answer completely opposite to before, and this answer also made the white-haired old man opposite him freeze.

Big Brother, you didn't say that before.

"What, very surprised?" Looking at the white-haired old man, Dahuzi then smiled and said, "I know Chen Xing too well; although this person is conceited, he is not pedantic."

"This old fellow is sometimes even shameless; he belongs to the type that gets more shameless the older he gets!"

"As for Shen Yu, on the surface he looks like he hates evil, but in reality, he is not the type who sees things only in black and white; he knows how to be flexible—he is completely a little fox."

"With these two foxes, one old and one young, together, how could they be fighting and killing? I guess they are probably drinking tea and chatting right now."

"Is that so?" With an unclear expression in his eyes, the white-haired old man sighed softly and then felt somewhat puzzled.

"Then the Leader previously said that as long as Shen Yu entered the Chen residence, he would definitely kill Chen Xing. Now it seems that Shen Yu will not take action."

"But if Shen Yu doesn't take action, how can we make everyone believe it?"

"No need to worry; hasn't Shen Yu already entered the Chen residence? As long as Chen Xing dies at this time, does it really matter whether he took action or not?"

With a light smile, Dahuzi did not care about this at all, and his face also wore the look of someone holding victory in his hands.

"The Leader means... it's not important whether Shen Yu killed him; it's important to let everyone believe that Shen Yu killed him!"

"Not bad, that is exactly it!"

Dahuzi's attention had always been on the Chessboard, but the white-haired old man seemed a bit anxious. Right now, he seemed completely unaware of what this leader in front of him meant.

Their leader had always been infallible, and the words he spoke often came true. Therefore, when he said Shen Yu would kill Chen Xing, he believed it.

But looking at it now, this was a posture of wanting to keep even him in the dark.

"Then, then why did the Leader previously say..."

"Because those words were said to you. Chen Xing has great ability, actually being able to plant a Chess Piece in front of me. Impressive, I admire him!"
