Su Zhe looked at Li Chen and hesitated, "If I tell you, you won't kill me on the spot, will you?"
Li Chen: "..."
This person probably watches too many movies. It's just a simple question, isn't it?
It's like he's about to kidnap someone.
After a few seconds of silence, Su Zhe put down his chopsticks and said bitterly, "Don't you know I'm the heir to the Su Group?"
Li Chen shook his head and asked, "What is this 'Crown Prince'? Is there anything special about him?"
Su Zhe scratched his head, finally understanding why Li Chen wasn't afraid of him—it turned out he was completely unaware of the truth. Should he tell him the truth?
I finally managed to make a friend.
Although they'd only known each other for a day, he didn't want to give up. But if he lied to his friend, could he still consider them friends?
In the face of the choice, reason prevailed.
Su Zhe looked at Li Chen seriously and told Li Chen about the Crown Prince's identity. Just when he thought that Li Chen.
Li Chen simply replied, "Oh."
"So that's what the Crown Prince meant."
"But why should I be afraid?"
"You're not one of those monsters in the books, what's there to be afraid of?"
Su Zhe was stunned. This was the first time someone hadn't been afraid of his identity as the Crown Prince. Most people, upon hearing this identity, would either deliberately try to get close to him or stay away.
I was ostracized because of this identity.
This was the first time he had ever been trusted, and he was deeply moved.
Su Zhe looked at Li Chen with deep affection and said, "It feels so good to be trusted."
Li Chen rolled her eyes at him.
He continued eating noodles. He rarely ate noodles; the only time he had any was when his pension came in, and that's when he could eat a little bit.
The two ate quickly; the noodles here were delicious.
However, in Li Chen's eyes, the only flaw was that Su Zhe talked a lot, really a lot.
Perhaps it's because I haven't had any friends for a long time.
Speaking of friends, it seems I don't have any...
Under the setting sun...
They were riding bicycles, but this time it was Li Chen riding.
"You're so heavy!"
"Like a pig weighing several hundred pounds."
Su Zhe grinned but didn't respond.
The two of them rode their bicycles slowly, heading towards the future in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Bang, bang, bang.
Blood dripped onto the ground.
Su Zhe, his face covered in blood, was hanging from a rope, while a wrecked bicycle lay carelessly tossed aside on the floor beside him.
A man wearing black boxing gloves swung his fists fiercely, each punch carrying a gust of wind.
"Haha, the meat quality is not bad."
"Little fatty, you really can't blame me."
"Someone wants to kill you, which just pleases me."
Su Zhe swayed in the air, tears streaming down his face, and trembled as he said, "My father is Su Ming. Aren't you afraid to kill me?"
The burly man grinned, his expression somewhat strange.
The fist that had just been thrown remained suspended in mid-air.
"Are you talking about Mr. Su?"
"Do you think it's possible that he wants to kill you?"
Su Zhe was stunned, then roared, "You're talking nonsense! Why would my dad kill me?"
"Did you get your head stuck in a door?"
The burly man grabbed his head and shoved it in front of Su Zhe, smiling as he said, "Hehe, why wouldn't you?"
"Your father is such a genius, possessing countless riches, yet he has a fool like you as his son. If he doesn't kill you, this burden, who else would he kill?"
Su Zhe, panting heavily, glared fiercely at the burly man, his face full of anger. He sneered, "You're probably trying to sow discord. Do you think I believe that?"
"My dad would never do such a thing."
"Even if he doesn't want me as his son, he won't kill me. You wait, he'll find me sooner or later, and then you won't escape your fate either."
The burly man laughed heartily, his mouth practically agape.
He was just following orders; whether he believed Utah or not was irrelevant.
But now Su Zhe is going to die, and he will be tortured to death by himself.
A "hollow" sound.
A fist carrying a strong wind slammed into Su Zhe's face, but this time he didn't shed a tear. Instead, he stared blankly, seemingly lost in thought.
He may have taken the burly man's words to heart, but he was also suspicious, because he knew that his relationship with his father was not very good. Although he was nominally the heir of the Su-style collective, it was just a title given to him so that others would know.
It's possible that my father wants to kill me.
He simply didn't believe it, not even a little bit, not even if it meant his death.
More and more blood dripped from him.
Su Zhe could feel the weakness in his body growing stronger and stronger.
Am I going to die?
"But is it really my father who wants to kill me?"
"How frustrating... I only made one friend."
Even on his deathbed, he was still thinking about that bowl of noodles and that person, because it was the first time someone had heard of his identity and treated him as an equal.
Perhaps it's just because of his own identity.
Suddenly he felt the ropes binding his hands being loosened, and his body was slammed to the ground.
A detached voice rang out.
"You don't seem to be in a good state right now."
Su Zhe barely opened his eyes and saw a familiar figure standing in front of him. He opened his mouth, about to say the word "escape," but froze.
A burly man lay dead in a pool of blood in his field of vision.
With trembling hands, Su Zhe pointed in the direction of the burly man and asked, "Li Chen, what brings you here?"
"And how did he die?"
Li Chen shook his head slightly and said, "When you left school today, did you forget something?"
"What is it?" Su Zhe asked, somewhat puzzled.
"One-Noodle Encounter, but you still owe me a bowl of noodles."
Su Zhe was stunned... Had he said that?
I don't think so, do I?
Li Chen helped him up and said, "Su Zhe, this world is not lacking in bad people. I was once as naive as you, but naivety and kindness are never the face of a good person, but rather the disguise of a bad person."
"The dark side of the world, which you have never experienced."
But people have to have contact.
At this moment, Su Zhe could hardly see his friend, whom he had only known for a few days, clearly anymore.
Who exactly is Li Chen?
How could he have so many secrets?
How did they find out they had been arrested?
All of this fueled Su Zhe's growing curiosity.
I just didn't ask it.
Li Chen looked at him with the same calm gaze, but in Su Zhe's eyes, his body was trembling involuntarily.
In the dark dungeon.
With a whoosh.
Su Zhe suddenly woke up, and this experience flooded his mind.
He stared at the burning torches, lost in thought, and murmured, "Chen-ge, which face is yours after all?"
"I can't see through it, I really can't see through it..."
