Su Shi felt very depressed. He walked to the window and opened it. When the fresh air rushed in, he took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled it.
As the turbid air in his lungs was expelled, Su Shi's feeling of wanting to vomit was relieved.
He looked at the full moon hanging high in the sky, staring coldly at the world, and asked slowly: "Pei Xun said that Bai Jingchao died in his hands, do you believe it?"
Bai Jiangchuan said calmly: "I found the iron wire in that wall."
"What is Pei Xuan's plan?"
Bai Jiangchuan said: "He told me to wait."
"What are you waiting for?"
"Waiting for you to take action." Bai Jiangchuan said: "Because he can't guess what your plan is, so he can only wait for you to take action, and then ask me to cooperate with you secretly."
Su Shi suddenly asked: "How many times have you seen Pei Xuan?"
"I only met him once, on the day of Jinghu Poetry Club."
The moonlight shone on Su Shi's face, and his eyebrows undulated like mountains and rivers: "I remember that our bet was canceled soon."
"Yes." Bai Jiangchuan slowly raised his head, closed his eyes slightly, and said, "Do you know how I felt at that time?"
Su Shi said silently: "You must be very disappointed."
"It's despair." Bai Jiangchuan's expression did not change, but his tone was full of chill: "Pei Xuan gave me hope, but you made me despair."
After a long time, Bai Jiangchuan opened his eyes, with a trace of madness flashing in his eyes.
"Do you know what I thought when I was at my craziest?"
Su Shi sighed: "You want to kill me?"
"I did think about killing someone, but not you."
Su Shi's eyes narrowed slightly: "Who is it if it's not me?"
"Chen Xiaolan." Bai Jiangchuan said calmly: "I know that you care about this little girl very much, so I want to kill her. I believe that killing her will definitely arouse your hatred."
Su Shi's eyes looked extremely cold under the moonlight, and his right hand had been clenched into a fist involuntarily, and the fist was shaking slightly under the light.
He was trying to control himself because he really wanted to punch Bai Jiangchuan hard in the face.
Su Shi hated this behavior of sacrificing other people for his own hatred. And that in itself is an act of cowardice.
"Why did you change your mind?"
"Because of Pei Hyun."
Su Shi was slightly startled: "Didn't you say you only met him once?"
Bai Jiangchuan said: "I didn't see Pei Xun that day, but a thirteen-year-old boy. He held Pei Xun's token in his hand and claimed to be Pei Xun's disciple."
Su Shi's pupils tightened and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Feng Ke!"
Bai Jiangchuan was startled: "So you know it too."
Su Shi already cared about other things and asked, "When did you see him?"
Bai Jiangchuan thought for a while and said, "The fourteenth day of last month."
"March 14th." Su Shi couldn't help but press his forehead with his hand and muttered to himself: "Of course it is March 14th."
It was on that day that Pei Xuan invited him to meet and told him many secrets, while also leaving more secrets.
Su Shi remembered that Feng Ke did not follow him into the hut because Pei Xun had other plans for him. He couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, because Su Shi never imagined that Pei Xuan's arrangement was related to him.
"When did Feng Ke find you?"
"Chenshi." Bai Jiangchuan said: "That day at Chenshi, I received a letter. There was only a jade pendant and an address in the letter."
Su Shi sighed: "Is that jade pendant a token?"
"That's right." Bai Jiangchuan nodded and said, "That jade pendant is Pei Xun's personal belongings. He once told me that whoever holds this jade pendant can represent him."
"So you went."
Bai Jiangchuan sneered and said: "I only know that he is my last hope. But when I arrived at the address on the letter, I didn't see Pei Xun. What I saw was his disciple Feng Ke."
Su Shichang sighed: "Of course you can't see him, because at noon that day, Pei Xun had already left on a crane."
These words were like a thunderbolt hitting Bai Jiangchuan's head. His face was pale, his mouth was slightly open, and his eyes were full of shock and suspicion.
After Su Shi sighed, he asked, "Where did you and Feng Ke meet?"
Bai Jiangchuan obviously hadn't woken up from the shock yet. He murmured: "It was at five o'clock that day that we met here, in this room."
Su Shi smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that Feng Ke was really busy that day. After Chen Shi sent me to see his teacher, he rushed to see you non-stop."
Then he asked: "Then what? What did Feng Ke say to you after you met?"
Bai Jiangchuan smiled and said, "You should know everything that follows."
Su Shi thought for a moment and said, "You deliberately went to Huangfu Jie that afternoon, and then you found out from him that Cuinong and I had an unusual relationship, so you deliberately hurt them that night in order to arouse My hatred."
"This is not my plan." Bai Jiangchuan said calmly: "My plan is much simpler and more direct."
A cold glint flashed in Su Shi's eyes, and he said coldly: "In other words, breaking Cuinong's legs and crushing Hua Fu's hands was also Pei Xun's plan."
Bai Jiangchuan shook his head and said: "Feng Ke said that it would be enough to just let them suffer some skin injuries, but I don't believe you would go against Dongyuan Zhiku for those three brothel girls. But Feng Ke said that others might not, But you will definitely do it. Even if I don’t believe it, I have to do it. But if this plan doesn’t work, I will definitely follow my plan.”
"Since Feng Ke said they would only suffer a little skin injury, why would you be so cruel?"
Su Shi's voice was as cold as ice at this moment, but Bai Jiangchuan didn't realize it. He smiled and said, "I don't believe they just suffered a little skin injury. You would..."
Before he finished speaking, Su Shi suddenly punched him hard on the chest.
The punch was so sudden that Bai Jiangchuan was completely unprepared. He immediately curled up in pain and fell heavily to the ground with a thud.
Then two figures flashed across the stairwell so fast that afterimages appeared, and they arrived in the room in an instant.
When the two figures saw Bai Jiangchuan, who was covering his chest and curled up on the ground, they were stunned for a moment and stood blankly in front of the door.
Su Shi was rubbing the back of his right fist with his left hand. This punch had used up all his strength, and because of the excessive force, his knuckles actually ached a little.
Lin Mo and Zhang Ao exited the room with a tacit understanding, then turned around and looked around as if nothing had happened.
Su Shi looked at Bai Jiangchuan lying on the ground and said coldly, "Why don't you listen to Feng Ke?"
Bai Jiangchuan lay on the ground and looked up at Su Shi, with a crazy and painful expression on his face.
He gritted his teeth and said: "For me, as long as I can destroy the Dongyuan Quality Library, I can do anything."
