Su Wangchuan, as if grasping at a straw, took a step forward, his voice trembling slightly with excitement and fear: "Brother Luo... I'm finished. The Su family... the Su family kicked me out and are going to try to kill me!"

He spoke very quickly, briefly recounting what happened at the banquet that evening, but deliberately downplaying the despicable nature of the contract terms, focusing instead on how Ye Heng "abused his power" and how Su Yingxue "was ungrateful."

"That Ye Heng... I don't know what methods he used, but even Wei Zong of Tianhai Group is bowing and scraping to him! Now that the Su family and Tianhai have reached a cooperation agreement, I've become the only sacrifice!"

Su Wangchuan's eyes reddened, and he clenched his fists. "Brother Luo, I'm desperate... Only you can help me!"

He spoke very quickly, briefly recounting what happened at the banquet that evening, but deliberately downplaying the despicable nature of the contract terms, focusing instead on how Ye Heng bullied others and how Su Yingxue was ungrateful.

Luo Yu listened silently, his face remaining completely still.

After Su Wangchuan finished speaking, he slowly opened his mouth, his voice low and deep like the clash of iron and stone: "You saved my life. I remember that kindness."

Su Wangchuan felt a sense of relief and almost burst into tears—indeed, the investment back then had not been in vain!

But his face showed even more despair, and his knees buckled as he was about to kneel down: "Brother Luo, I have nothing left now... I only beg you to give me a place to stay, to give me... a chance for revenge!"

Luo Yu reached out and stopped him from kneeling, his strength as steady as a mountain.

"How do you plan to take revenge?"

Su Wangchuan's tone was as vicious as a snake: "Ye Heng must die! But he's protected by Wei Zong and Su Yingxue now, so we can't do anything about him openly... We can use other methods."

He leaned forward half a step, almost whispering in Luo Yu's ear: "Isn't Night Raven Hall expanding its 'medicinal herbs' business recently? I still have a batch of undisclosed overseas channels from the Su family, which can all be handed over to the hall for operation."

"As long as you help me... arrange an accident to make Ye Heng disappear forever."

Luo Yu did not answer immediately.

He turned around, his back to Su Wangchuan, and looked at the dark night sky outside the factory.

"Do you know why Night Raven Hall has survived until now?"

Su Wangchuan was taken aback.

Luo Yu calmly replied, "Because I don't touch people I shouldn't touch, nor do I owe debts I shouldn't owe."

He turned around, his gaze pressing down on Su Wangchuan with an almost tangible intensity: "The time you saved me was at the old wharf in the west of the city. I was surrounded by people in three cars and stabbed in the right rib. You drove in and dragged me away."

Su Wangchuan nodded hurriedly: "Yes...yes! Back then, Brother Luo, you were just a small leader in the gang, and I happened to be passing by..."

"Yes, that's perfect..." Luo Yu repeated the two words, then suddenly smiled.

"I've been investigating for seven years. The people in those three cars were hired by you beforehand. You also had someone deliberately aim the knife at my right rib, just an inch off, so that it would draw blood but not actually kill me."

Su Wangchuan's face instantly turned deathly pale, his lips trembling: "Brother Luo... let me explain..."

"No need for explanation." Luo Yu raised his hand to interrupt, his eyes devoid of anger. "The reason I haven't touched you is because you did indeed make connections for the gang a few times later, which was somewhat useful. Besides... I'm waiting too."

"Wait for what..." Su Wangchuan's voice was trembling uncontrollably.

"Come find me when you've reached your own dead end." Luo Yu reached out and patted his shoulder.

"Now that you've come, it's time for me to repay the life-saving grace you showed me back then."

Su Wangchuan's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

Looking down at Luo Yu's condescending face, he finally realized that he had never truly controlled this person.

Luo Yu saw through him from that incident seven years ago.

"Brother Luo... spare my life..."

Tears streaming down his face, Su Wangchuan crawled forward, trying to grab Luo Yu's trouser leg. "I can give you all of Su's internal information! I know about their funding shortfall! I know..."

Luo Yu interrupted him.

"Su Wangchuan. You saved my life, I'll repay you with mine. I won't kill you tonight."

Just as hope ignited in Su Wangchuan's eyes, he heard Luo Yu say the next sentence:

"But from this moment on, you are severing all ties with the Night Raven Hall. Never appear in Jinling again, and never let me hear your name again."

He stood up and waved into the shadows.

Two silent men in black emerged from the shadows, one on each side, and carried the limp Su Wangchuan away like a sack of potatoes.

"No... Luo Yu! You can't do this! I've done so much for you—!" Su Wangchuan's roar echoed in the empty factory, mournful as a ghost's wail.

Luo Yu did not turn around.

He walked to the factory gate, lit a cigarette, and the scarlet flame flickered in the night.

Luo Yu's fingers, holding the cigarette, paused slightly, and the ash fell silently.

He turned his head sharply, his pupils suddenly contracting.

Just five meters behind him, at the factory entrance, a man in a custom-made suit was leaning against the rusty door frame, as if he had been standing there for a long time.

With his advanced cultivation at the third level of the Acquired Realm, his five senses were far more acute than those of ordinary people, and he did not notice when this person approached at all!

A chill ran up my spine.

"Who are you?" Luo Yu asked in a low voice, his muscles tense as he went into a state of alert.

Almost simultaneously, Su Wangchuan, who was being supported by two men in black, also saw the figure at the door.

He was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened suddenly, bloodshot veins filling his eyeballs: "Ye... Ye Heng! It's you! You actually tracked me all the way here!"

Ye Heng did not answer Luo Yu's question immediately, but glanced at Su Wangchuan: "Su Wangchuan, it seems that the backer you found doesn't really intend to help you."

"You spent your whole life scheming and plotting, and in the end, there wasn't even anyone willing to collect your corpse. It's truly... pathetic."

When Ye Heng realized that Su Wangchuan was not going to let this go, he was not prepared to let this person live tonight. So after Su Yingxue fell asleep, he left alone to look for Su Wangchuan.

"No...no! Brother Luo! Brother Luo, save me! Kill him! He's Ye Heng!"

Su Wangchuan struggled and roared desperately, tears streaming down his face as he looked at Luo Yu, "He's here! He's here! Do it now!"

Luo Yu remained motionless, staring intently at Ye Heng, a fine layer of cold sweat beading on his forehead.

He couldn't sense any signs of internal energy being released from Ye Heng, but that was even more terrifying—there were only two possibilities: either the other party was an ordinary person with no cultivation, or the other party's cultivation far surpassed his!

"My Night Raven Society has no enmity with you," Luo Yu said slowly, his tone solemn. "The ties between Su Wangchuan and my organization have been severed, and I will no longer interfere in his affairs."

Upon hearing this, Su Wangchuan was struck dumb, and he burst into a tirade: "Luo Yu! You ungrateful wretch—"

His words came to an abrupt end.

Because Ye Heng moved.

There was no earth-shattering momentum, no dazzling movements.

In Luo Yu's vision, the shadow at the door seemed to blur for a moment, as if a wisp of breeze had swept through the stagnant air inside the factory.

The next second—

"Snap!"

A crisp, slight sound of bones cracking.

Ye Heng's figure had appeared between the two men in black at some point, one hand still casually in his pocket, while the other hand had been lightly placed on Su Wangchuan's head.

Su Wangchuan's eyes were still wide open, and he couldn't even let out a scream. His body twitched slightly before going completely limp. The two men in black, who were already terrified, instinctively let go of him, and he collapsed to the ground with a "thud," lifeless.

Throughout the process, Luo Yu—a master of the Night Crow Society, known for his ferocity and bravery in the underworld of Jinling, and a skilled practitioner with the third level of the Acquired Realm—was a formidable opponent.

They didn't even see how Ye Heng moved or how he made his move!
