Two Dark Secrets

Welcome to "I'm Trapped in the Same Day for a Thousand Years," exclusively produced by Feilu Novel Network. Narrated by Sang Ze Wang Xiaomo and Lao He. You can pick up a gun now and shoot me, or we can have a proper talk.

Wu Chen smiled at Old Blade and said, "I believe you are a smart man, and you will make the choice that is most beneficial to you."

Wu Chen gave the Old Blade priest a chance, not for Wu Chen's sake, but by using his family as leverage. But in reality, Wu Chen didn't give him a chance. At such close range, the old Daoist priest had absolutely no chance.

For top-tier fighters, at close range, a gun is less effective than a knife, because a gun requires the muzzle to be pointed directly at the target to cause damage, while a knife can attack from any angle.

However, Old Blade would never know that Wu Chen hadn't given him a chance.

Wu Chen's abilities are beyond anyone's imagination. Even Li Ruobing's current understanding of Wu Chen is only the tip of the iceberg. The Old Blade would think this is a real opportunity.

Do you think I wouldn't dare kill you?

Nagging's expression was somewhat uncertain, and his question was full of a probing tone.

Damn it!

Wu Chen aimed his gun again, gripping the sofa armrest as if gathering strength, ready to Old Blade at any moment.

Killing someone is no different from killing a chicken; it's not a question of whether you dare to or not, but whether you know how.

Wu Chen smiled at the Old Blade. "You have very few weaknesses. You're willing to risk your life, so there's nothing you wouldn't dare to do. It's just a matter of whether you know how or not."

So why do you think I don't want to kill you?

Old Blade immediately asked Wu Chen, "You don't need to distract me with your words; it's pointless."

Wu Chen smiled calmly, and said, "I know you didn't immediately grab the gun because you were wondering if I had tampered with it beforehand, and also because you were guessing if I had given your information to others beforehand."

I can answer you directly: I didn't touch the gun. What was your original name?

Where do you live?

I haven't told anyone.

The Old Blade priest stared silently at Wu Chen, completely bewildered by Wu Chen's intentions. Was he courting death?

He didn't see it as a test, but rather as courting death.

No matter how skilled Wu Chen is with a knife or how good he is at hand-to-hand combat, he's the one who gets to grab a gun first.

Old Blade gambles, he gambles with his life. He truly doesn't understand Wu Chen, otherwise he would know that Wu Chen never gambles with his life; he doesn't like to entrust the unknown to uncertain possibilities.

The silent Old Blade never touched the gun.

Wu Chen spoke clearly. Although he had doubts, he believed he had the opportunity to kill Wu Chen directly, but he just didn't move. He didn't immediately realize that this was actually an instinctive fear of Wu Chen.

In response to Wu Chen's car crash plan, a sudden decision was made to immediately set it up, but it failed immediately, and everyone was arrested, with the clothes being cut off in the elevator.

Wu Chen won. He escaped from the hospital for over an hour and had just reached a safe point when Wu Chen reappeared.

Would Wu Chen still dare to give him a gun?

Old Blade was extremely confident in his ability to fight close combat with a knife and to fight to the death, and he certainly had the ability to back it up. But Wu Chen overturned his perception. From that moment on, his understanding of Wu Chen was elevated to an unimaginable level, and he admired him greatly.

Just like the Old Blade that Wu Chen knew, the prerequisite for talking to the Old Blade was to beat him.

He was obsessed with knives, and anyone who could defeat him with a knife would become special in his heart.

From the perspective of mere hand-to-hand combat with cold weapons, the Old Blade would believe that his opponent was invincible. This is the mentality of an extremely confident person after being defeated; he would think, "If I can't even beat myself, who can?"

Wu Chen didn't just defeat him alone; he defeated a total of seven people, including him. Wu Chen wanted to make the Old Blade think for himself that if Wu Chen gave him the gun, he would unconsciously increase his perception of Wu Chen's abilities.

Furthermore, Wu Chen was trying to alleviate his inner discomfort, which stemmed from Wu Chen threatening him with his family.

Intelligence obtained through threats may not be false, but loyalty gained through threats is definitely not genuine.

In fact, Wu Chen could have continued negotiating with the Old Blade without resorting to this tactic, but he chose not to.

According to his original plan, the Old Blade was to eventually become his man. At that time, his loyalty would definitely be questionable. He would feel that he was only involved in trivial matters with the War God to protect his family, and that he was being threatened.

If that's the case, then after he investigates thoroughly, he will definitely target Wu Chen, which would be a loss for him. That can't be allowed. So Wu Chen gave him this opportunity, but Wu Chen was useless. His family threatened him, saying that if it were up to him, he could take the gun, but if he didn't, it was his own choice, which would greatly affect his mentality.

The Old Blade was the first person in the proletariat's reality who would not speak no matter how much torture was used to extract a confession; he possessed extremely strong fighting ability and a very complex life experience.

In handling matters, he is not only extremely capable, but he also keeps his mouth shut after things go wrong, never betraying his elder brother. Moreover, he is truly fearless and dares to do anything.

The Old Blade's reputation on the Yun Province border was built up over time, without any exaggeration. If he hadn't encountered Wu Chen, he wouldn't have had this disastrous trip to the East Sea.

Wu Chen is now determined to recruit him and use him for his own purposes.

What do you want to know?

The Old Blade asked Wu Chen again, and he was still paying attention to the gun, still considering, or rather, looking for an opportunity.

If it's about the Ding Family, then I'm sorry, I won't tell you that Li Ruota mentioned it to me. I didn't tell him, and I won't tell you either. Those things don't need you to tell me; I already know.

Wu Chen did give the Old Blade a faint smile.

He also knew the Old Blade would ask a question in return.

Yes, I know, I know very well.

Wu Chen smiled as he looked at Old Blade.

For example, Wang Ruida was killed at your arrangement; it was Ding Ruilong's doing.

Wang Ruida's death was another fatal blow to Ding Ruilong.

No one ever imagined that Wang Ruida's death was actually orchestrated by Ding Ruilong.

Because in the period before Wang Ruida's death, he and Ding Ruilong had no conflicts whatsoever, had never even met, and had no business conflicts whatsoever.

After hearing Wu Chen's words, the Old Blade Daoist's pupils contracted slightly.

Only three people in the world know who was behind Wang Ruida's murder: Ding Ruilong, Old Blade, and the boss of Golden Flower Group.

Ding Ruilong didn't have Jiang Chuan find someone to do this; instead, Ding Ruilong called Old Blade directly.

"Oh, right, "Wu Chen said with a smile before the Old Blade could say anything, "I took some photos of the elevator. After we finished fighting, I sent the photos to Jiang Chuan and asked him to pass them on to Ding Runlong."

Therefore, Ding Runlong probably thinks you're all dead now, and even the overseas Golden Flower group probably thinks you're dead.

The Old Blade's expression suddenly became extremely subtle.

If everyone believes he is dead, then he has another chance to fake his death and escape.

But the thought only lasted for a moment before he gave up.

He had long since sunk too deep, swallowed up by darkness.

He only has two paths left: either die, or work himself to death; there is no third possibility.

Wu Chen smiled at the Old Blade, and at that moment, his smile also had a subtle quality.

I also know that Ang Tun was killed by Ding Ruilong.

The Old Blade 'Old Blade expression changed drastically; this was the second piece of dirt he could prove about Ding Ruilong.

In reality, the Old Blade priest had no idea who killed Ang Tun, nor did he have any evidence to prove Ang Tun killed him.

But strangely enough, as long as the Old Blade believed Wu Chen's words, and then he told another person, that person could become a witness to Ding Ruilong killing Ang Tun.

The old man stared wide-eyed, unable to believe that what Wu Chen said was true.

He investigated Ang Tun's death for a long time back then, but couldn't find a single clue. How could Ding Ruilong have killed him?

It's not detailed enough and I can't figure it out.

The Old Blade Daoist priest's face trembled as he thought about it.

I know you might have Wu Chen else to say, but suddenly, I swiftly grabbed the pistol from the coffee table and pointed it at Wu Chen.

The Old Blade Daoist priest's grasp of the situation was actually very precise. Just as Wu Chen said, he was distracting Wu Chen with words. So, before he even decided whether or not to touch the gun, he started talking to Wu Chen. All he needed was for Wu Chen to be momentarily distracted.

Old Blade is skilled with knives, but his marksmanship is also top-notch. However, because his close-quarters weapon combat ability is so strong, belonging to the very elite level, no one mentions his marksmanship.

However, he had received proper training in Myanmar. The Golden Flower Group was a small warlord organization on the Myanmar border, and Old Blade marksmanship was definitely at the level of a first-class marksman, just not the very best.

Wu Chen fell silent, a calm smile on his face, staring calmly at Old Blade, who had taken the gun and was pointing it at him.

Wu Chen didn't stop the Old Blade priest the moment he touched the gun while testing the poison. It wasn't that he couldn't react in time, but rather that it wasn't necessary. Wu Chen knew the Old Blade wouldn't fire. If the Old Blade had suddenly held up the gun earlier, Wu Chen would definitely have snatched it instantly. But since Wu Chen had already revealed Ang Tun's situation, there was no need to do so.

For Old Blade, who killed Ang Tun was extremely important, not only because he and Ang Tun were brothers and had a very good personal relationship, but also because Ang Tun was one of the core figures of the Golden Flower Group. He was Dong Huayu, a Burmese, and the nephew of General Kun Han, the leader of the Golden Flower Group, making him a right-hand man.

Because Kun Han's two sons had died in the early conflicts, leaving only a daughter, Ang Tun was actually one of the strong contenders for the position of leader and successor of the Jinhua Group before his death, and Kun Han valued him highly.

Five years ago, Tang Tun disappeared in Yun Province; he was never seen alive, nor was his body ever found.

At the time, Old Blade was one of the people in charge of Jin Hua's affairs in China. It was Old Blade who led the investigation into this matter. He found some clues, but he could only confirm that Ang Tun had been murdered. However, he could not find out who did it. Kun Han was furious about this. He directly suspected that it was done by another warlord organization on the Myanmar border. Since the two sides were rivals and had clashed too many times before, Kun Han Hu targeted this rival and secretly arrested him.

Many people interrogated and pressed for answers, but to no avail.

Because of this incident, both the Golden Flower Group and its rival group suffered considerable losses. After fighting back and forth, many people died before a peace negotiation was finally reached. The Old Blade never found out the truth.

Although the matter is now in the past and has become an unsolved case, the Old Blade has never been reconciled.

Wu Chen has revealed who killed Ang Tun, but he only gave a brief overview and didn't go into more detail or prove the truth.

In this situation, Old Blade definitely wanted to listen; he wanted to know. So if he wanted to kill Wu Chen, he shouldn't have brought the gun at this moment. He could have asked Wu Chen more questions first, learned everything, and then found an opportunity to touch the gun.

Old Blade slowly narrowed his eyes as he pointed his gun at Wu Chen remained calm and smiling.

You're not afraid the Old Blade will ask Wu Chen, I believe you won't shoot me.

Wu Chen laughed.

The Old Blade priest swore he had never seen such a calm person. You see, the reason he came to the East Sea this time was to take over the Ding Family's job to kill Wu Chen.

Although a lot has happened in between, he now has a gun pointed at Wu Chen. With just a flick of his finger, Wu Chen will die, and the mission will be complete.

But Wu Chen remained calm, as if he had not received any death threats.

Old Blade, who was already intimidated by Wu Chen's fighting prowess, now felt even more admiration for Wu Chen, in addition to his fear.

He genuinely didn't know that Wu Chen wouldn't gamble with his life; he knew that the Old Blade's mind was controlling the Old Blade's mind.

Of course, even without playing mind games, Wu Chen isn't afraid, because he still has his biggest Trump Card Reset.

The Old Blade suddenly put away his gun, dropped his knife with his other hand, and grabbed a cushion from the sofa chair.

He grabbed the cushion, folded it in half to cover the gun, and then pressed the muzzle against the lower side of the sofa armrest. The movement was very quick and swift.

Then,

The outer side of the handrail chipped slightly downwards, sending some wood chips flying.

The Old Blade fired his gun.

The gunshot was very muffled. It wasn't quiet, but it wasn't loud either. It was much lower than a normal gunshot, somewhat like the sound of a cork popping out of a wine bottle after it's been shaken.

Even the neighbors next door might not hear the sound, and even if they did, they wouldn't think it was a gunshot because it was muted.

There is no silencer.

But the thick cotton cushions wrapped around the muzzle and pressed against the sofa were all for soundproofing, mainly relying on the cushions to cover it.

After the shot rang out, Old Blade was stunned. He really didn't intend to shoot Wu Zhen, and he even suspected that Wu Chen was lying and had tampered with the gun, which was why he wasn't afraid at all.

However, it turned out he was wrong; the gun worked.

Wu Chen truly showed no fear in the face of a gun that could kill him at any moment, possessing an all-powerful confidence.

Snap!

The Old Blade Daoist priest tossed the gun onto the coffee table, and after it landed, it slid a little distance towards Wu Chen.

This also shows that he not only fears and admires Wu Chen, but now he also somewhat trusts Wu Chen.

Mr. Wu, I find it hard to imagine what you've been through. The information says you're only 22 years old, right?

The Old Blade looked at Wu Chen and subconsciously raised his hand to cover his chest, his wound hurting. Many people have this question about me.

Wu Chen smiled. "Did Ding Ruilong kill Angtun?"

The Old Blade asked Wu Chen directly, because he genuinely wanted to know the truth of the matter.

Have I ever lied to you?

Wu Chen asked a question in return, but without a reason. Ang Tun had never met Ding Ruilong; did they have no connection?

The Old Blade asked again, "Having no interaction doesn't mean there's no relationship, and it doesn't mean you don't know the other person."

Jin Hua knows everything the Ding Family has done over the years. You reported it and got permission before doing it. Ang Tun knows everything, but Ang Tun threatened Ding Zhenlong!

The Old Blade was stunned. He couldn't understand it at all, and now he was even more confused. How could Ang Cun possibly threaten Ding Ruilong's head? The old Old Blade priest wanted to know more and more. He also had some suspicions. Although Wu Chen did not lie about other things, this matter involved Ding Ruilong. Wu Chen and Ding Runlong were mortal enemies. It was possible that he would hurt Ding Runlong again.

Wu Chen did pause for a moment before smiling and saying, "I can show you the evidence first."

What evidence?

The Old Blade immediately asked.

If you really want to know the truth, then I need you to tell a lie. Just lie to this person, and he will tell you the truth.

Wu Chen laughed.

The Old Blade frowned; he was a bit confused and didn't immediately understand.

Wu Chen then picked up the phone and SIM card from the box. He first inserted the SIM card into the phone, and then turned it on. It was a brand new phone, and after some setup, it entered the main interface.

Then, Wu Chen placed his phone on the coffee table, swiped it to Old Blade, and called Jiang Chuan.

Wu Chen said.

The Old Blade, who was holding the phone, was stunned for a moment. You told him you had escaped, and he would definitely ask you what exactly happened.

Tell him that Li Ruobin arrived with his men in time, that you tried to take Li Ruobin hostage to escape but failed and almost hurt Li Ruobing, and ask him if there will be any problems with that.

Wu Chen smiled again as he said this.

Plans never keep up with changes. If Li Ruobing hadn't called her father yesterday to ask Ding Runlong for help, Wu Chen wouldn't have made these arrangements.

With this arrangement, Jiang Chuan won't die; he'll be secretly captured and brought to the East Sea, becoming another important pawn for Wu Chen in his attack on the Ding Family.

Wu Chen's thoughts were very jumpy, and at this moment, Old Blade had no idea what complicated things Wu Chen was thinking, but he was determined to make this call; he needed to know the truth about Ang Tun's murder.

The Old Blade picked up his phone and entered Jiang Chuan's number.

This concludes this episode. We hope you'll continue listening!
