We Need to Deal with Su Chen

Su Zhenxing was sick to death of it.

He had already been battered black and blue and worn to exhaustion by his mother, who had been dead for thirteen years, and the son who had been lost for fifteen years and only found two years ago. He had thought he could finally rest after returning to the bedroom, but who knew this woman would start nagging again.

Su Zhenxing flopped onto the bed, with no strength left even to wash up.

"If you thought that wasn't my mother, why didn't you say so earlier?!"

"And why did you let my mother beat you so obediently?!"

"Now my mother has gone back underground. What's the point of telling me this now?"

Liu Yanran gave an embarrassed smile.

"Wasn't I just scared out of my wits at the time?!"

"But the more I think about it now, the more something feels wrong. How could Mom have come all the way up from down there just to beat us up for that Little Beast Su Chen?!"

"Why couldn't she? Ever since he was little, my mom liked Su Chen best."

"Wasn't the reason my mom died so early because Su Chen went missing and couldn't be found, and she was heartbroken over it?"

"Now that Su Chen has been found again."

"But you've been mistreating him. It's not impossible for my mother to come up and stand up for her grandson."

At that, Su Zhenxing sat up from the bed and shot Liu Yanran a fierce glare.

"Liu Yanran, I know you like Su Mu, but don't forget that Su Chen is your biological son."

"Don't make it so obvious from now on."

"If you bring my mother back again, you'll regret it."

Sitting before the vanity table, Liu Yanran looked at the person in the mirror who resembled Pig Head Three and hated Su Chen to the extreme.

She, Liu Yanran, had been born into wealth and privilege. Before marriage, she had been a rich young lady; after marriage, she had become a wealthy madam.

When had anyone ever beaten her like this, turning her face into something so ugly?!

It was all Su Chen's fault!

When Su Chen had gone missing as a child, everyone had cursed her, especially her mother-in-law, who scolded her three times a day without fail.

After Su Chen grew up and came back, he went mad and humiliated them every day. Today, he had even called her mother-in-law up from underground to beat her and vent his anger for him!

Su Chen truly was Liu Yanran's nemesis.

Liu Yanran examined her pampered face in the mirror, battered by heavy fists. The more she looked, the more she hated him.

"Zhenxing, do you think we should find a Taoist priest to take a look?"

Su Zhenxing narrowed his eyes and stared at Liu Yanran, his voice low.

"Liu Yanran, what do you mean?!"

Liu Yanran looked into Su Zhenxing's eyes through the mirror.

"Zhenxing, don't get worked up."

"I'm not trying to do anything to Mom."

"It's just that, don't you think it's strange that Su Chen was able to summon Mom?"

"Doesn't that mean he might also be able to summon some other wandering ghosts and spirits?!"

"Su Chen has been going crazy all the time lately, always ready to risk his life against someone at the slightest provocation."

"If it's just Su Chen, a high school student, then even if he wants to risk his life, we can restrain him. We don't need to be especially afraid of him."

"But what if Su Chen summons a wandering ghost or spirit next time to risk its life against us?!"

"What if he summons a whole group of wandering ghosts and spirits next time to risk their lives against us?!"

Su Zhenxing paused slightly.

What Liu Yanran said did make sense.

Su Zhenxing believed that no matter how much his mother beat him, she would not truly want him dead, nor would she truly want their whole family dead.

But if Su Chen brought in wandering ghosts and spirits, Su Zhenxing could not be so sure.

"So what are you saying?"

Seeing the look in Su Zhenxing's eyes that showed he had clearly been persuaded, Liu Yanran smiled.

Perhaps Liu Yanran had forgotten that she was currently wearing Pig Head Three's face. She still thought she had the beautiful face of a wealthy madam.

Su Zhenxing's eyes were assaulted by her ugly grin, her split-open mouth making her look like a pig's head, and he hurriedly turned his head away.

"Let's find a Taoist priest to examine Su Chen."

"First, to cure Su Chen of his occasional bouts of madness."

"Second, to suppress Su Chen's ability to summon the souls of the dead, so that he doesn't cause irreparable harm to our Su Family through his ignorance."

With a slap, Su Zhenxing lay back down on the bed.

"Fine. I'll leave this matter to you."

"I still have a lot of company business to handle. I don't have the energy to spare."

"Just tell me the result when the time comes."

"Also, we need to move tomorrow's gathering to next week. Otherwise, how are we supposed to attend with this whole family covered in injuries?"

"People will laugh themselves to death."

"You're right. I'll make the arrangements."

Time flew, and soon it was Tuesday of the following week.

When Su Chen returned to Su Family Villa after school, he sensed a strange atmosphere permeating the villa.

At the same time, Su Mu, who had been going to and from school with Su Chen every day these past few days but had never spoken or interacted with him, actually looked at Su Chen and smiled smugly.

That smile was full of triumph and malice.

It seemed to say, Su Chen, your good days are over.

Su Chen frowned deeply.

Although he did not know exactly what had happened.

He knew that something unfavorable to him had definitely occurred.

Perhaps what awaited him in the villa was a Hongmen Banquet.

Su Chen ignored Su Mu and walked straight into the villa.

Since it was not yet time to eat, Su Chen went into the living room first.

The moment he entered, Su Chen saw that Su Qiqi, who had been avoiding him these past few days, did not hide from him as she usually did. Instead, she remained seated motionlessly on the sofa and merely smiled at him.

That smile was likewise full of triumph and malice.

What had these people done behind his back?!

It was as if they all knew about it and were deliberately keeping it from him?!

Just then, two people came down from upstairs.

One was Liu Yanran, whose injuries had healed and who had once again become rich and beautiful.

Liu Yanran was speaking enthusiastically and respectfully to the other person.

That person was unmistakably a Taoist priest!

With long brows and a long beard, a smooth, wrinkle-free face glowing with health, a Taoist topknot on his head, flowing long robes, and a wooden sword strapped to his back.

He truly looked like an immortal master of great virtue.

Su Chen understood at once.

They had hired a Taoist priest to deal with him!

Just because last Friday, he had pretended to be the deceased Su Grandmother and beaten them up.

They had found a Taoist priest to deal with him because of that?!

And it looked as though the Su Family had spent quite a bit of money.

This Taoist priest looked fairly formidable.

Su Chen glanced at Liu Yanran and the Taoist priest, said nothing, and sat down on the sofa.

Su Chen, who had not actually summoned the deceased Su Grandmother, wanted to see what this Taoist priest could possibly do to him!
