Chapter 425: I Want to End This Game Early!

Chen Gongjin stared at Su Yang's gloating expression, nearly choking on his breath.

"Save… me, I can… give you everything you… want."

"What a generous price, but what to do? I'm only a petty gang leader, I can't bear this debt." Su Yang shook his head.

Blood ran from Chen Gongjin's mouth corner, and he muttered incomprehensibly, "Kid, don't… not know… right or wrong."

Cold Light flickered unabashedly in Su Yang's eyes, "No wonder you're the antique world's top hardbone, still spouting wild words even at death's door."

"You… how exactly… will you agree to save me?" Chen Gongjin rasped.

Su Yang smiled.

At some point, his lofty gaze vaguely resurfaced before his eyes.

Two bodyguards followed behind, imposing without anger, their aura extraordinary.

But now he had become a pleading petty figure he once despised.

Such a contrast could not fail to make Su Yang laugh.

"I heard Li Yongfeng told you a secret about Jinshan; I'm interested in that, feel free to speak." Su Yang said slowly.

"You…" Chen Gongjin's eyes bulged, his face turned death‑white.

Su Yang leaned in, whispering, "What?"

"You… are dreaming!"

The decisive words made Su Yang's smile snap off.

He looked at the half‑dead silhouette before him and sneered, "Seems a secret is more precious than your life."

"You… brat… I'll… die… and still won't speak!" Chen Gongjin strained to shout his loudest.

But the severe wounds caused him, after finishing the sentence, to tilt his head and collapse.

Su Yang lowered his gaze, watching the blood‑soaked foam on his shirt from Chen Gongjin's frantic words, the white shirt tinged with a red hue.

He patted the other's face, and after finding no response, stood up and said, "Burn it."

Lin Yang was startled, "I feel that handing him over to Feng Jingchu might pry something out."

"He won't live to that time," Su Yang said lightly.

"What a pity." Lin Yang sighed, took a bucket of Gasoline from the car's trunk, and doused him completely.

He then took out a match, gently striking the phosphorus tip…

Sss—

A faint flame sparked, and Lin Yang casually tossed it onto the car.

Boom!

In an instant, flames shot upward, a foul odor mingled with a sizzle.

Su Yang stood quietly five meters away, watching the car burn.

Everything that happened today was sudden, yet part of the plan.

Chen Gongjin died shortly after leaving the Warehouse; Li Yongfeng will surely hold him accountable.

If it were before the Gold Mine was discovered, Su Yang, for his business partner, would not dare act so brazenly.

Yet Li Yongfeng, clearly coveting the Gold Mine, chose to bide his time.

Just on that basis, Su Yang had no reason to show mercy.

It's like a business friend coveting one's own wife.

One cannot, for profit, hand over his wife and voluntarily put a hat on himself, right?

"Li Yongfeng will certainly not be satisfied," Lin Yang said.

"What are you afraid of? Can he produce evidence?" Su Yang scoffed aloud.

"He's not afraid of the obvious, only of the hidden," Lin Yang hinted.

"Not fearing his arrival, but fearing his absence."

Saying that, Su Yang brushed the snow off his shoulder and calmly said, "Since we signed the contract, he must pay that money."

"And the Xicheng District house deed, he surely wants that."

Tearing off the façade isn't that extreme; we're all adults, each wanting to preserve some dignity.

Li Yongfeng isn't a nice guy; if he comes covertly, Su Yang doesn't mind letting him taste Deception.

Although Jinshan City is populous, it's not entirely hopeless.

After a while, the flames waned, Su Yang confirmed Chen Gongjin was dead, got into the car and left.

The white snow soon extinguished the lingering flames.

In no time the car wreckage was covered, resembling a snow sculpture.

…

The next day, a newspaper story spread through every street and alley.

People who saw the headline instantly erupted in a frenzy!

The famed Chen Gongjin apparently fell to his death by accident; his body burned down to half its size, black as coal, turned into an unrecognizable char.

The Search Army's on‑site forensic report confirmed the incident was merely an accident.

People wanted to visit the scene, but upon arrival found the wreckage already cleared.

Liuhe Jie 1 Hao.

Su Yang, in pajamas, sat in the study, leisurely holding a newspaper in one hand and a coffee in the other.

"Today's coffee tastes great, keep up the standard."

Feng Yan heard that and sweetly smiled, "As long as the gang leader likes it."

"By the way, remember, we don't need to practice frugality; eat when you should, drink when you should, and never be stingy." Su Yang reminded.

"Liang Shu went out early this morning to buy beef and mutton, guaranteed to let the boss get through this winter well," Feng Yan said.

"You and Liang Shu managing such a big house isn't easy; therefore, starting this month, your salary will double," Su Yang said with a smile.

Feng Yan was startled, quickly shook her head and waved her hands, "No, boss, I can't accept."

"What, my words don't work?" Su Yang pretended to be angry.

"It's nothing," Feng Yan lightly bit her lower lip, speaking softly, "I did something bad to the boss before, and even caused your injury to worsen; I'm unworthy."

"I am the master of this house; whatever I say, you must obey, no objections, and certainly no refusals," Su Yang said seriously.

Feng Yan felt a warmth in her heart and lightly nodded.

"I don't want to hear words like 'unworthy' again; if it happens again, I'll triple it," Su Yang said.

Feng Yan let out a soft laugh, gave Su Yang a flirtatious glance, "Got it."

Su Yang looked at her charming figure, about to tease her a few lines.

"Bang!"

At that moment, the study door was suddenly pushed open.

A tall, beautiful woman draped in a mink coat burst in.

Feng Yan let out a gasp and hurriedly blocked, "You can't just walk into the study…"

Yet the newcomer shoved her aside in one hand, leapt to stand before the desk, leaning down to stare into Su Yang's eyes.

Her dark brows knit tightly, her expression indifferent.

"What era is this, still having time to flirt with girls?"

Su Yang, seeing her explosive expression, calmly set the newspaper down and asked, "Miss Yin, your visit to my humble abode truly brightens the place."

"Cut the act; do you know what you've done?" Yin Yun asked in a low voice.

Feng Yan still wanted to step forward to drive her away, but Su Yang signaled her to hold back.

After the door closed, Su Yang said, "No wonder you're a great talent of Deduction; you know exactly what I've done."

"You, for the sake of face and emotion, even despise assassins; do you know Chen Gongjin's standing in Jinshan City?" Yin Yun asked.

"So?" Su Yang retorted.

"Once the situation is exposed, you will face endless retaliation, and the Floating Life Business Association will also be implicated!"

"Who can prove I did the killing? Where's the evidence?"

"The evidence hasn't been sent to the Warlord yet; can it be later?"

"Strike while the iron is hot; once we pass this village, the shop will be gone."

"Is that so?"

Yin Yun quickly produced a newspaper, slammed it on the table, "Take a good look."

Su Yang lowered his gaze and saw four small characters in the upper left corner—East City Morning News.

He pointed with his slender finger, and there was a headline—"Jinshan Appears, Location Known."

Su Yang furrowed his brows and quickly studied the content.

The news article was clear, detailing the legend of Jinshan, and finally even marked the location—

Nan Cheng Qu Nan Bu!

"Did you see it?" Yin Yun inhaled deeply, "This game doesn't involve only the two of us as players."

"In places you can't see, they've already analyzed your intentions and motives perfectly."

Su Yang's gaze shifted, then his mouth curled, "Interesting…"

"You indeed possess Jinshan and countless wealth, but your impulsiveness could cause a great disaster!"

Su Yang took a sip of coffee, sighed comfortably, "It's just the Qinglong Gang, I'm not afraid of the Warlord; would I fear them?"

"Honestly, I'd love for them all to come onto my turf."

"I want this game to end soon!"
