Lady Su's Revenge Chapter 137

Chapter 137 Fear
Su Qingtan felt nervous and bowed his head. He said, “I just thought…”

“Do you want to ask that why I didn't ask you to handle the case after the Su Family was excluded? Did your performance disappoint me?”

Ling Qinglan smiled and looked at Su Qingtan who was taunted and couldn't say anything. He got up and threw a roll of file at the table into Su Qingtan's arms. “Look at this.”

Su Qingtan opened the file and glanced at it. He immediately became serious and finally knew the reason why Ling Qinglan did not find him.

Because the Su Family did not get clear from the case.

“After the Su Family came to the Qinghe Town, they secretly took orders from Wu Yun. Detecting the official silver in the Baiwei Building was directed by Wu Yun. The person who did it was the First Madam of Su Huanli, your first mother, Zhu Yan. Su Qingtan, the Su Family has so many relationships with Wu Yun. How can I let you participate in the case?”

Ling Qinglan patted the stiff shoulders of Su Qingtan and still smiled. He said, “The content of this file is only known by you and me. Wu Yun is treacherous. It is unavoidable that your family was instigated and made some mistakes. These mistakes can either be big or small. Su Qingtan, I'll leave the matter of your Su Family to you. How do you think?”

Su Qingtan was nervous. He thought for a moment and then he gave a fist and palm salute to Ling Qinglan, “As you command!”

Ling Qinglan waved his hand casually and said, “Go. Get it done as soon as possible. The cases in Yunjing are piled up into mountains. There is no time to delay.”

Su Qingtan nodded and left with a file in his hand. It felt like a mountain in his hand.

After he left, Ling Qinglan came into his sense and he seemed to be interested in how Su Qingtan would deal with that.

“Uncle Shan, what do you think he will choose?”

The middle-aged guard shook his head. He didn't know Su Qingtan. How did he know what Su Qingtan would do?

Ling Qinglan patted his fan and sat down again. He said, “Su Qingtan can be recognized by me because of his righteousness not loyalty. I can take this opportunity to test him… we will see whether he can be my successor or not.”

As for the successor of the Supreme Judiciary, or… Yinmo Cult, no one knew.

The expression of the middle-aged guard changed slightly. Ling Qinglan waved his hand and said before the middle-aged guard said something, “I know what you mean. It's a pity… God doesn't care about my feelings. I will not live as long as them. I always doing things after I think it carefully. Some things should be prepared as early as possible.”

Looking at Ling Qinglan's calm expression, the middle-aged guard was in sorrow.

After Su Qingtan returned to his residence, Su Qingtan looked at the file that was quietly placed on the table. He was struggling inside.

Whether Su Zipei or Zhu Yan was arrested or not, he would not bear any burden. His love for them of previous years had been exhausted, because they hurt Su Li again and again. If there was no family relationship, he could even regard the mother and daughter as enemies. If father and grandma asked him about the matter, this file was enough to shut them up.

It was Su Li who made him have pressure.

This girl was repeatedly abused by Zhu Yan and bullied by Su Zipei. But she never complained. In Su Li's heart, she still treated the dregs as relatives. He understood that it was just like his feelings to Li Yuelian. Zhu Yan was Su Li's biological mother. It was impossible to erase their close relationship.

If he arrested Zhu Yan, would Su Li hate him?

Su Qingtan pinched his fingers and the knuckles were whitish. Blue veins could be saw on his forehead because of his excessive exertion.

He scared of nothing. He was in danger repeatedly in Yunjing and was even close to dying!

But now, he was so scared…

It's in the courtyard of the school.

Su Li looked at the clean bluestone road outside and thought that her Eldest Brother might not come here today. She opened the drawer and took out the Ao Sword Skills from the hidden grid. Then she read it carefully.

Fortunately, she had some accomplishments in the realm of swordsmanship in her precious life. The first three hurdles of Ao Sword Skills were easy for her to understand. And she learned a lot, which slightly broke her bottleneck in the realm of swordsmanship.

Since Su Li read the fourth hurdle of it, she couldn't understand even one word. This made her feel like an idiot. She knew all the words on the swordsmanship book, but when they were in the text, she couldn't understand them at all.

Su Li didn't feel that it was her problem. Although she was not so smart, she was not so stupid that she even could not understand it. The fourth hurdle of Ao Sword Skills must have its subtle differences, and she just didn't realize…

“In previous life, the Swordsmanship Master practiced it successfully. He didn't have the bottleneck. Why it is different to me…”

Su Li secretly frowned and was a little puzzled.

Although there were lots of mundane things, she certainly understood that cultivation was foundation. Apart from dealing with special events, she didn't stop practicing her cultivation for one day. She also had some adjuvant medicine that she dispensed with the ordinary medicine in the drugstore to improve her cultivation. After a half year, her cultivation reached the peak of the inborn third hurdle from the primary state of the inborn realm. She almost entered one realm in ever one month.

Even Ling Li who reincarnated and practiced the partial arts again could not compared with Su Li's practice, not to mention other people in the martial arts circle.

But Su Li was not satisfied. She knew that there was always someone more competent and capable than her. She even felt that she was slow and could not keep up with her own plan. When the Linli Building entered Yunjing, a superior of inborn realm was not enough. So, she needed to enter a higher realm in a very short time.

“The structure of the Linli Building is finished. It is time to collect the information of the elixir.”

Su Li's eyes were lit. Then, she returned to be calm and focused on the book.

It was extremely a peaceful day. Su Qingtan did not have the courage to visit Su Li. He didn't come in the next two days. Even Ling Qinglan, who had some confidence in him, gradually didn't feel so.

“Did Su Qingtan burn that file?”

Thinking of this, Ling Qinglan finally received the servant's report, “Lord Su went to a small inn with lots of people!
Snap!

Ling Qinglan opened his folding fan and smiled. He said, “Don't tell him. I will go and have a look.”

At the same time, Su Li also got the information from Fang Yuan. She instantly understood why Su Qingtan disappeared in the past two days. After thinking for a moment, she immediately put on the dress of Ms. Li and went to Zhu Yan's residence…

Zhu Yan still lived in the small inn that Su Li chose for her. Even if she knew the downfall of the Jin and Lin families, she didn't want to flee away. Because she knew that she and Su Zipei could not escape at all.

Su Zipei slowly ate the lunch that the waiter served. After people of the Jin and Lin families were arrested, she was so shocked that she wanted to run away. But her mother did not dare to go, so she didn't dare to leave, either. If her mother was not with her, she even couldn't go back to the Dasu Town.

Fortunately, no officers and soldiers found them in the past two days, which made Su Zipei who was uneasy a little calm.

“Mother, don't you want to have something to eat?”

After she was full, Su Zipei turned back and said to the inside of the room. She didn't hear any response. When she packed up the bowls and chopsticks and was about to wash it, instantly, she felt the floor vibrate, which sounded like an earthquake. Before she could do anything, the door was forced to open. A large number of officers and soldiers came in and surrounded them.

The innkeeper mourned by side, “Lord, it's none of my business! I really do not know that they are fugitives, otherwise I would not let them live in my inn!”

Su Zipei was still with her face getting pale as a piece of paper. It seemed that her eyes were frozen and could not roll. Officers and soldiers really came!

“It is nothing of your business. Go away!”

The shopkeeper was frightened out of his wits and left at once because he would not be punished. Hearing such a familiar voice, Su Zipei turned her head and saw a young man in a different official uniform. She was immediately overjoyed.

“Eldest Brother!! Mother, come out quickly! It is my Eldest Brother! My Eldest Brother is an official now. We will be fine!”

Zhu Yan was full of despair in the inner room. When she heard Zipei's words, she rushed out regardless of her messy hair. Seeing Su Qingtan was so serious, she instantly cried out, “Qingtan, it is you!”

As she said, Zhu Yan directly rushed to the front of Su Qingtan and hugged his waist tightly. She cried sadly, “I was lost. It's my fault! Qingtan, you have succeeded. You can save me, right?”

Su Zipei firmly believed that this time Su Qingtan came to rescue them. She pretended to wriggle behind her mother and timidly said, “Eldest Brother, why didn't you tell me and mother when you came back? We worried about you so much these days.”

The confidants who came with Su Qingtan were also puzzled at this moment. If the two people were really relatives of Lord Su, what was his intention of being here… Will he shield them?

“He just became the Officer of the Supreme Judiciary. How dare he?”

“It is not a big deal. I experienced a lot. Only Lord Ling is innocent and fair in the entire Supreme Judiciary.”

“Lord Ling regarded highly of him, but he even dare to take rash action…”

“What a pity!”

Several young people who had broken through the acquired eighth hurdle were talking to each other by transmitting the sound in silence. They looked at Su Qingtan with disdain.

At the same time, on the second floor of the restaurant which was on the opposite side of the inn, Ling Qinglan and Su Li stood opposite to each other. The middle-aged guard was full of vigilance. He looked at Su Li with fear.

They didn't realize that someone was here before they came up.

Ling Qinglan was slightly surprised. He immediately laughed, “Ms. Li is really well-informed.”

“There are so many crack troops of the Supreme Judiciary walking through the street. It is easy to attract attention.”

Su Li seemed to explain something. Then she pointed to the direction of the inn and handed over a pot of Liehuo Spirits. She giggled, “The play in front of us is a good show. It is wonderful to have the spirits when we watch it.”

Ling Qinglan was stunned and then he smelt it. He couldn't help but laugh, “You are really bold and forthright!”

They stopped talking. The situation in the inn changed.

Su Qingtan was calm. Seeing the mother and the daughter was putting on a play, he didn't have any emotions and even felt a bit disgusted.

He waved his hands, which was the gesture of arrest in the Supreme Judiciary. A different light flashed through confidants' eyes behind him. They instantly pulled Zhu Yan off from Su Qingtan's waist. Zhu Yan was firmly pressed on the ground.

“Oh!”

She screamed. The man behind her was so powerful that she almost thought her arms were broken.

“How dare you! I am the first mother of your lord. How dare you do this to me?!”

Zhu Yan held Su Qingtan's waist and didn't see his gesture. She thought that his servants did it without his permission. But Su Zipei saw the gesture clearly. She felt sad inside at that moment. It seemed that her Eldest Brother… didn't come to rescue them.
