"What's going on?!"

The two men's faces turned pale with fright; they had no idea what had just happened.

At that moment, Chen Zheng finally got a clear look at them. He didn't recognize them; they were probably just underlings.

"Who sent you?" Chen Zheng's voice was ice-cold.

"Let us go! She fell on her own! It has nothing to do with us!" one of the men roared.

Chen Zheng nodded slightly, then tightened the bonds of Inner Strength around the man's ankle, instantly severing it.

"AHH!!!"

Chen Zheng turned to the other man. "Your turn to answer. Who sent you?"

"What the hell did you do! Damn it, let us go!"

The next second, his ankle was also torn from his body.

CRACK...

Without a word, after severing both their ankles, Chen Zheng moved the fine threads of Inner Strength slowly upward, wrapping them around the men's legs before tightening them again.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

Their legs were sliced off piece by piece, and in moments, they were only half the men they used to be.

"I'll… I'll talk! I'll talk!"

Finally breaking, they began to beg for their lives.

"It was Boss Wang… Boss Wang sent us! He told us to bring the girl to the Crown Hotel! Who knew she would just jump from the building!"

"We didn't want this to happen…"

"Please, we're begging you, let us go…"

The two grown men were now reduced to blubbering messes, blood streaming endlessly from what was left of their lower bodies.

"The Crown Hotel, huh… Fine. You brought this on yourselves!"

Chen Zheng flung the two men away.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have triggered a choice!]

[Choice One: Revenge! Take revenge for Cai Murong! Reward: Tai Chi Cloud Ladder!]

[Choice Two: Continue fulfilling Cai Murong's wish list! Reward: Full-body ulceration!]

Chen Zheng looked down with a bitter smile.

"There's no need for that, System."

He let out a breath, squatted down, and placed Cai Murong's body into the system space.

"I would have avenged her even without your prompt."

With that, Chen Zheng returned to his car and drove straight toward the Crown Hotel.

Fifteen minutes later, the Ferrari pulled up to the entrance of the Crown Hotel, and Chen Zheng walked straight inside.

"Sir, how may I help you?" an employee asked as he approached.

"Where is your Boss Wang right now?" Chen Zheng asked, wasting no words, his eyes filled with killing intent.

The employee felt as if he had been plunged into an ice cellar, and his entire body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"S-Sir?"

Chen Zheng stared at him. "I don't want to say it a third time. Tell me, where is your Boss Wang!"

"The… the presidential suite! On the top floor!"

Chen Zheng nodded, pressed the button for the elevator, and stepped inside.

As the doors slid shut, the employee collapsed to the ground, a damp patch spreading across his crotch.

"Fuck… you scared… you scared me to death!"

「Arriving at the top floor.」

Chen Zheng was stopped by a man. "Who are you?"

"You're… Boss Wang?"

"No, I am not. I'm the manager of the Crown Hotel. Mr. Wang isn't here. He and his wife took Young Master Wang Yu to the Su Family's estate."

The manager then added, "Do you have business with Mr. Wang? You can leave your contact information."

Chen Zheng didn't waste another word and simply turned and left.

Back in the car, he called Li Yitong.

"Chen Zheng? What's wrong? Why are you calling so late?" Li Yitong sounded pleasantly surprised.

"Is the Crown Hotel owned by the Su Family?" Chen Zheng asked directly.

Li Yitong paused. Though she didn't know what had happened, she could hear the fury in his voice.

She quickly replied, "Yes, it's one of their properties. The Su Family Head's younger sister is in charge of the hotel. Her husband, Wang Ruihe, is the owner."

"Send me the Su Family's location!"

"Okay!" Li Yitong agreed, then asked with concern, "Chen Zheng, what happened?"

Chen Zheng exhaled. "I'll tell you later. I'm not in the mood right now."

With that, he hung up.

Li Yitong didn't delay. She immediately sent him the location, then went to find her father.

Soon, the entire Li Family was on its way to the Su estate.

Meanwhile, like the Li Family, the Su Family also resided in a large estate in the suburbs.

Chen Zheng parked his car at the entrance and walked straight in. Two men in long robes moved to block his path. "Who are you?"

"Get lost."

Chen Zheng ignored them and kept walking. The moment the two guards made contact with him, they were sent flying. Just like that, he entered the Su Family's estate.

The Su Family, unaware of Chen Zheng's arrival, was gathered in the main hall. Old Master Su sat at the head of the hall. To his left sat the previous Family Head, now a cripple confined to a wheelchair. To his right was the current Family Head, Su Yunduan.

Chen Xing, Wang Ruihe, and Wang Yu were seated in positions of lower rank. Other members of the Su Family, both old and young, were gathered around them.

"Dad! You have to get justice for your grandson! My second brother has gone mad! He beat Wang Yu into this state!" Chen Xing wailed, deeply aggrieved.

The old man in the head seat remained silent.

Su Yunduan was the first to speak. "Xin'er, I told you to discipline your son! Do you realize that because of him, our chance to mend relations with the Grandmaster is gone, just like that!"

"Big Brother was crippled for offending him! Do you want our entire family to be wiped out now?!"

The previous Family Head, sitting in his wheelchair, clenched his jaw and said nothing.

"Second Brother!" Chen Xing shouted. "The Su Family has so many experts! Why should we be afraid of a single Grandmaster? Did you really have to beat your own nephew so badly?"

"He's an ordinary person! Don't you realize you nearly killed him?!"

Su Yunduan slammed his hand on the table. "You have no idea what a Grandmaster is! Big Brother was a half-step Grandmaster! Our family was on the verge of becoming the most powerful in Magic Capital! But because he offended the Grandmaster, he was crippled!"

"Don't talk to me about severely injuring your son. To appease the Grandmaster's wrath, I would have killed him, and it wouldn't have mattered!"

Chen Xing was dumbfounded. She had no concept of what a Grandmaster was. But at that moment, she didn't care. All she wanted was justice for her son. "I don't care! You nearly killed your nephew, my son! I will not let this go!"

She turned to the head of the table. "Dad! If you don't give me an explanation today, I will never set foot in this house again!"

Su Yunduan ground his teeth. "And you have the gall to demand an explanation from me?"

"That's enough!"

Old Master Su, seated at the head of the table, tapped his knuckles on the wood. "Such a racket. What do you take the Su residence for?"

Seeing that everyone had fallen silent, he continued in a slow, measured tone. "I am aware of what happened. Wang Yu was indeed in the wrong. But Yunduan, you also went too far."
