Douluo Continent: The Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, who intercepted the immortal herb

Chapter 45 Han Su Set a Trap? Su Chen Flipped the Table Over

The voice outside the door fell silent.

The air in the room seemed to sink a little.

Lu Ming was still kneeling on the ground, his face as white as paper.

The other deacon covered his nose, blood trickling down between his fingers, barely daring to breathe.

Xiao Wu stepped on his shoulder and glanced back at Su Chen.

"This old man's arrival was quite timely."

Su Chen didn't answer immediately.

His gaze swept over the hidden compartment.

It's empty inside.

The most crucial portion has already been taken.

Han Su's arrival was so precise, not by chance, but by waiting.

Wait until they break in.

When they saw these two people.

Then, conveniently, pin the charges on them.

Han Su's voice rang out again from outside the door.

"Your Highness, if the people inside are injured, things will get very complicated."

Xiao Wu laughed when she heard this.

"He's quite good at pretending."

"She's clearly one of his people."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming's Adam's apple bobbed violently.

Su Chen looked down at him.

"Do you want to live, or do you want to die in his place?"

Lu Ming's lips trembled twice, and beads of sweat dripped down his forehead.

He wanted to say something.

But the oppressive threat from outside the door was too heavy.

Han Su is currently blocking the way outside.

If he utters even half a wrong word, he will not be able to leave the Soto branch temple tonight.

Su Chen looked at him for two seconds, then suddenly smiled.

"Not going to tell?"

Lu Ming lowered his head even further.

"I—I don't know anything."

"OK."

Su Chen raised his hand and lifted him up from the ground.

Lu Ming was completely stunned, his feet leaving the ground, like a chicken being strangled.

Xiao Wu's eyes lit up.

"That's a good pose."

"It'll be really impressive to take him out later."

Su Chen turned his head to look at her.

"You can suggest another one."

""

Xiao Wu was immediately delighted.

"OK."

With a quick kick, she knocked the bleeding deacon to the ground, grabbed him by the back of his collar, and dragged him up.

The deacon was in so much pain he was gasping for breath, and his legs went weak.

"Stop, stop hitting me—"

"This is nothing."

Xiao Wu carried him like a sack, and even gave him a shake.

"You are much lighter than Zhou Ling."

The deacon's face turned green.

Su Chen carried Lu Ming out, but stopped at the door.

He didn't open the door immediately.

Instead, he glanced down at the account books and wooden crates scattered on the ground.

Then he lifted his foot and gently kicked the overturned box.

boom.

The box was turned over.

A layer of plywood was visible inside.

The splint wasn't locked properly, and the impact of that kick created a gap.

Xiao Wu spotted it immediately.

"There's another layer?"

Su Chen hummed in agreement.

"He packed the boxes too quickly and didn't flatten them."

Xiao Wu freed one hand and directly lifted the splint off.

It's not an account book.

It was a very small black seal, and two blank transfer orders that were already half-stamped.

If Shen Zhi were here, his expression would definitely change on the spot.

This is not stealing money.

This is a forged investigation order.

Xiao Wu could also tell that the thing was not clean.

"This is getting interesting."

"Han Su wanted to steal more than just the accounts, didn't he?"

Su Chen looked at the black seal, and his eyes finally turned cold.

"Quite an appetite."

Outside the door, Han Su seemed to be getting impatient.

"Your Highness, Holy Son."

"If you don't come out soon, I'm going to let them in."

"Enter."

Su Chen finally spoke.

"I'm also curious to see how you plan to act."

The words were spoken.

He raised his foot and kicked.

The door was kicked open.

It slammed against the wall with a bang.

Those standing outside clearly hadn't expected the door to open like that, and the two guards at the front instinctively took a half step back.

Han Su stood in the middle, his gray-gold robe perfectly in place, the fake smile still lingering on his face.

But the next second, his smile faltered.

Because Su Chen was carrying Lu Ming in his hand.

Xiao Wu was carrying another steward in her hand.

Both of them looked like dead dogs, their faces as ugly as could be.

Moreover, Xiao Wu was also holding the black seal in her other hand.

Han Su's eyes narrowed slightly.

This moment is very brief.

But Su Chen could see it clearly.

really.

He recognized this thing.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Han Su spoke first.

"Your Highness, you have trespassed into the inner quarters of the branch hall, a place of great importance, and even taken the chief accountant and the branch hall steward hostage. Shouldn't you provide an explanation for this?"

Xiao Wu almost burst out laughing.

"You're really good at turning the tables on me."

Han Su ignored her, his gaze fixed on Su Chen.

"No matter what kind of place my Soto branch temple is, it is not up to outsiders to trespass into the secret warehouse."

"outsider?"

Su Chen tossed Lu Ming forward.

With a bang.

Lu Ming's knee slammed into the ground, and he screamed in pain.

Su Chen slowly and deliberately straightened his cuffs.

"Those who were invited into the banquet hall with a papal decree in hand, are you calling them outsiders?"

"The way your Soto branch temple treats guests is quite novel."

The eyes of the guards on the sidelines all flickered.

Han Su's expression remained unchanged.

Even so, you trespassed.

"Shut up."

Xiao Wu tossed the steward in her hand forward as well.

"You came so quickly, weren't you just waiting to label us?"

"What a pity, we didn't manage to put the hat on, but we did catch two mice."

Han Su's eyes turned cold.

"Young lady, you need to provide evidence before you speak."

"evidence?"

Xiao Wu held up the black badge directly.

"Look what this is."

Han Su's pupils contracted slightly, then quickly returned to their normal size.

What can a seal prove?

"That shows your Soto branch temple really knows how to have fun."

Su Chen took the black seal and twirled it between his fingers.

"Forging transfer orders, altering accounts, and manipulating the list of personnel to be transferred out of the area."

"Vice Hall Master Han."

"Are you emptying out the branch temple, or are you paving the way for someone else?"

As soon as those words were spoken...

The atmosphere in the corridor suddenly became tense.

The expressions of the deacons behind Han Su all changed.

Even the two guards unconsciously tightened their grip on their sword hilts.

Han Su stared at Su Chen, and the pretense in his eyes finally crumbled little by little.

"Your Highness, you must not speak carelessly."

"Nonsense?"

Su Chen raised his foot and stepped on Lu Ming's back.

Lu Ming groaned, his face almost touching the ground.

"Then let him speak."

Han Su's gaze instantly fell on Lu Ming.

That look wasn't a warning anymore.

That's deadly.

Lu Ming was trembling all over, and his teeth were chattering.

Annoyed by what Xiao Wu saw, she squatted down, grabbed his hair, and lifted his head up.

"Where are you looking?"

"Look at me."

"If you don't talk today, you're dead."

"You've said it, so there might still be a way out."

Lu Ming was almost in tears.

"I—I—"

He had just opened his mouth.

Suddenly, a very light footstep came from the other end of the corridor.

Not urgent.

Not chaotic.

The moon-white long dress brushed against the ground, and the silver keys at her waist clinked softly.

Xu Tinglan has arrived.

She didn't come alone.

Two female stewards, dressed in short robes with dark patterns from the Department of Internal Affairs, followed behind him.

She approached, and without even glancing at Han Su, handed a thin ledger to Su Chen.

What you couldn't get if you arrived even a fraction of a second late, is with me.

Han Su's expression finally changed.

"Xu Tinglan!"

"Why are you shouting so loudly?"

Xu Tinglan turned to look at him, her voice still soft.

"Are you afraid I'll expose all the things you've done over the past three months—embezzling funds from outside the temple, illegally forging travel permits, and issuing travel passes for the black market?"

Han Su's hand clenched tightly under his sleeve.

"You're asking for it."

Upon hearing these three words, all the guards in the corridor felt a chill run down their spines.

Xiao Wu was delighted.

"It's over."

"I'm getting anxious."

"He's really in a hurry."

Su Chen opened the ledger, glanced at two pages, and his eyes turned cold and heavy.

The accounts were kept in great detail.

Names, numbers, printing numbers, and destinations.

There are even traces of alterations made by Lu Ming each time he handled the case.

This is not a doubt.

This is irrefutable evidence.

Su Chen closed the ledger and looked up at Han Su.

"Is there anything else you'd like to say?"

Han Su stared at the ledger, his face twitching slightly.

Then, he actually laughed.

His smile was sinister.

It's cold too.

"Your Highness, do you really think you can do anything to me just because you have the account books?"

"This is Soto."

"It's not Wuhun City."

"What I see and what I don't see in this corridor tonight is up to me."

Xiao Wu's eyes lit up when she heard that.

"Yo."

"Finally stopped pretending?"

Han Su ignored her.

He slowly raised his hand.

The guards behind him all stepped forward.

The corridor was already narrow, and now the knife was almost touching the light.

The two female deacons behind Xu Tinglan turned pale.

But Xu Tinglan did not back down.

She simply took off the string of silver keys from her waist and handed them to Su Chen.

"Master key to the vault".

"If you really want to turn against me tonight, this will come in handy."

Su Chen took the key, his fingertips brushing against the cool silver edge, and smiled.

"it is good."

Xiao Wu rolled up her sleeves and stood a little closer to Su Chen.

"Should we fight?"

"Then I'll pick one to fall first."

Han Su stared at the two of them, his voice becoming completely somber.

"Take it down."

The moment those two words were uttered.

The two guards at the front had just rushed up.

Su Chen then made a move.

Martial Soul not activated.

No spirit rings lit up.

He simply lifted his foot and took a step forward.

boom.

The corridor floor shook.

The guard at the front felt as if he had hit a wall in the chest. Before he could even raise his sword, he was sent flying backward, knocking over the two men behind him.

Xiao Wu is more direct.

She'd been holding her breath for a while.

In a flash, the figure was already pressed against the guard on the right.

Low shoulders, twisted waist, tripped legs.

The movements were so fast it looked like they had been pre-written.

The man had just raised his knife when his gaze shifted.

With a loud bang.

She threw him from one end of the corridor to the other, his back hitting the wall, and his face turned completely white.

"Next!"

Xiao Wu's eyes lit up, and she got more and more excited as she fought.

At this moment, she truly had the air of the male lead's number one female companion.

He's ruthless and has a sharp tongue.

Han Su's face immediately darkened.

He didn't expect Su Chen to actually dare to make a move in the branch hall.

What I didn't expect was that Xiao Wu, who had just finished fighting, was still so capable of fighting.

Su Chen had already taken a step closer.

The corridor is not long.

But as he walked over, his weight made it hard for people to even breathe.

"Han Su".

"You're right."

"This is Soto."

"So tonight, I will make sure this matter is handled clearly and thoroughly in Soto City."

Han Su finally stopped standing.

With a flick of his sleeve, his soul power exploded, causing the hem of his gray-gold robe to bulge.

"You're asking for it!"

As soon as he moved, his soul pressure spread out.

At least above the Fifth Ring Road.

Xiao Wu's expression changed.

She really can't withstand this level of direct pressure right now.

Before she could step forward to block, Su Chen had already raised his hand and pulled her behind him.

The movements were not heavy.

But it's very stable.

Xiao Wu bumped her back against his arm, and her heart skipped a beat.

"You One"

"Stand at the back."

Su Chen's voice was not loud.

Xiao Wu bit her lip, but ultimately didn't try to be brave.

Han Su has already made his move.

He flipped his right palm and slapped Su Chen's chest.

The palm strike was cold and sinister, clearly indicating that he wasn't holding back.

Su Chen looked at the hand and only said two words.

"You're not worthy?"

next second.

A flash of golden light.

The sword of judgment is drawn.
