"Misunderstanding? That's impossible, we were fine this morning, there couldn't be a misunderstanding."
Chen Shuo began to seriously recall everything that had happened that morning. The situation had been completely normal, with nothing unreasonable at all.
Except for her saying she had something to take care of each time she left, there was nothing strange.
Could Su Xiyan's disappearance be related to the business she needed to attend to?
If that was the case, could Su Xiyan's disappearance be connected to the Su Family?
Upon calm analysis, Chen Shuo felt this possibility was becoming quite likely.
After all, in all of Su City, only the Demon King or Su Xiyan's father could have taken her away.
And at the time, they were at the Su Family home, where Old Man Xu was present. The Demon King's people wouldn't dare act recklessly even if they had ten times the courage.
In that case, then...
Chen Shuo's thoughts became increasingly clear, but he still found the conclusion difficult to accept and believe.
Su Yuanying was Su Xiyan's father - how could he possibly harm his precious daughter?
It didn't make sense.
"What's wrong? Still can't figure it out? Do you really think the Su Family is as peaceful on the surface as it appears? Other families have nine sons fighting for succession, do you think such a large family as the Su's doesn't have that?"
The female vampire played with her fingers, speaking casually.
Hearing the female vampire's words, Chen Shuo's heart skipped a beat, and his brows furrowed the next moment: "What exactly are you trying to say?"
"It's not about what I'm trying to say, it's just the facts. You've been in contact with Su Xiyan for so long, do you understand the divisions within the Su Family?"
At these words, Chen Shuo was briefly stunned. He had never deeply investigated this matter.
In his usual interactions with Su Xiyan, they rarely mentioned family situations. It was only later when Su Xiyan's father, Su Yuanying, returned from outside that Chen Shuo came into contact with the Su Family members.
But from what he understood, the Su Family was harmonious and such things simply wouldn't happen.
However, this female vampire seemed quite familiar with the Su Family. Could they have been keeping tabs on the Su Family, with other motives?
Fortunately, Chen Shuo wasn't afraid. As long as he could eliminate them in a short time, all problems would be solved.
This further strengthened his resolve to wipe out the Demon King's forces quickly.
"So you understand now? It's all a misunderstanding. After all, you're about to become one of us. What benefit would we gain from harming you?"
Seeing Chen Shuo's lack of reaction, the female vampire moved closer as she spoke, almost clinging to Chen Shuo's body.
"Get away from me. If you dare come near me again, don't blame me for being impolite."
Chen Shuo's body trembled, and the female vampire was immediately blasted away by a burst of force, slamming heavily into the wall before her movement finally stopped.
The wall cracked, and the female vampire was wedged into it. She couldn't have looked more wretched, her appearance disheveled and blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
The female vampire coughed violently, her face extremely pale.
She never imagined that just being a bit flirtatious would result in this. Now that she thought about it, she felt somewhat terrified. If Chen Shuo had used a bit more force, her life would have been over.
"There won't be a next time, understand?" Chen Shuo said coldly, looking at the battered female vampire.
Today, he had spared her life only because she had helped him clear up his confusion.
The female vampire didn't dare to act up again, nodding her head like a sieve: "I understand, I understand..."
"Alright, since it has nothing to do with you, I'll be leaving now."
Chen Shuo said and prepared to leave, but then seemed to remember something and suddenly stopped in his tracks.
The female vampire, who was trying to extricate herself from the crack, saw Chen Shuo stop and was immediately frightened: "I... I... I just wanted to get out..."
"I forgot to mention something. I plan to make my move the day after tomorrow because the Su Family has a large-scale commercial reception then. Xu Changjun will attend, which will be the perfect opportunity for us to act."
Hearing that Chen Shuo was talking about this, the female vampire finally relaxed.
"I'll remember that. Don't worry, we'll assist you from the sidelines. The Demon King always keeps his promises. As long as we work together to deal with Xu Changjun, your parents will naturally return to your side safely, and afterwards, the entire world will be ours!"
The female vampire was excited. She had thought Chen Shuo would need more time to compromise.
She had even considered finding Chen Shuo again someday to talk.
But now everything had fallen into place. Chen Shuo had set a date, just two days from now.
This meant that as soon as they successfully took down Xu Changjun the day after tomorrow, she would become the greatest contributor by the Demon King's side, and then...
The female vampire could barely contain her emotions. As she extracted herself from the crack, she even took the initiative to see Chen Shuo out.
"Brother Shuo, I knew you had the ability. Don't worry, as long as we succeed the day after tomorrow, your parents will be my parents. They'll not suffer even the slightest discomfort in my care."
"If you have things to attend to now, go ahead. Leave the trivial matters to me."
Seeing the female vampire's enthusiastic attitude, Chen Shuo was somewhat surprised.
How could there be such a huge difference? He had thought only humans could have such stark contrasts, but vampires could too?
However, her willingness to take good care of his parents did reassure him somewhat.
It was precisely these words that improved his impression of her a bit.
After leaving Brothel Street, Chen Shuo couldn't avoid being pointed at and discussed by the women there.
After all, Chen Shuo had been approached twice in a row, yet remained unmoved.
But this time he had entered one of the shops, and his image of false propriety had already spread among them.
Chen Shuo ignored everything and drove straight towards the Su Family residence.
Since the Demon King's side wasn't involved, it had to be at the Su residence.
He had already decided to go directly to Su Yuanying and ask about the situation.
Arriving at the Su residence, Chen Shuo headed towards Su Yuanying's quarters based on his memory.
Halfway there, Chen Shuo saw a familiar figure. For a moment, he thought he was seeing things.
"What's wrong? Lost your way?"
Hearing this familiar voice, Chen Shuo immediately felt relieved.
Chen Shuo appeared beside Su Xiyan in an instant. Without thinking, and regardless of whether there were others around, he picked her up in his arms, his expression excited: "You... you really scared me to death, you know?"
Caught in Chen Shuo's embrace, Su Xiyan was startled.
She hadn't expected such a strong reaction from Chen Shuo after just a short absence. Had something happened during the time she was away?
