Chapter 1082 I Want to Take Care of You in Your Old Age!
Chapter 1082 I Want to Take Care of You in Your Old Age!
Peng Yu decided to join Zhuque in order to seek better development.
Unfortunately, even if he joined Suzaku, he would still be considered a minor character, and not many people would pay attention to him.
Fortunately, Peng Yu met Su Chen.
The two first met at the First Guesthouse.
At that time, Su Chen confronted Liu Hailong head-on and even attacked the enforcers of the Vermilion Bird Law Enforcement Team.
Not only did they escape punishment, but they even alarmed Lu Benwei, the research director of Zhuque.
Lu Benwei personally stepped in and resolved the problem for Su Chen.
This trip to the secret realm was even more extraordinary.
The intensity of Su Chen's battle with Qinglong far exceeded Peng Yu's expectations.
Peng Yu's intuition told him that if he could get on Su Chen's good side, he couldn't even imagine what the future would hold!
"Boss Su, I heard you don't have any children. If you don't mind, I'd like to take care of you in your old age!"
When Peng Yu said this, Zhan Wei and Zhong Yage were both dumbfounded.
Keep in mind that Su Chen is not even thirty years old yet; he's still very young.
Not having children now doesn't mean you won't have them in the future.
Peng Yu was at least ten years older than him, yet he could say such things.
I have never seen such a shameless person!
"...Let's forget about retirement."
Su Chen was also at a loss for words, waving his hand and saying,
"As long as you sincerely cooperate with me, I will naturally take good care of you in the future."
Peng Yu was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately seized the opportunity to press his advantage.
"That's great, thank you, Boss Su!"
"Don't worry, Boss Su. From now on, I won't even flinch from going through fire and water if you just say the word!"
Peng Yu was overjoyed after receiving Su Chen's promise.
He paid no attention to the strange looks from Zhan Wei and Zhong Yage.
After all, a true man can bend and stretch. Compared to clinging to Su Chen's coattails, what's a little loss of face?
"Old Wei, Ya Yun, what do you two think?"
Su Chen then looked at Zhan Wei and Zhong Yage.
"I don't really care, but we'll have to see what Brother Zhan thinks."
Zhong Ya-yun said softly.
"I can keep what happened in the secret realm a secret from others, but I still have to report the truth to Minister Lu."
Zhan Wei explained with a wry smile.
"Okay, you can report back when we meet Minister Lu together."
Su Chen nodded.
"That's no problem."
Zhan Wei breathed a sigh of relief.
After reaching an agreement, both sides were relieved.
Having finally escaped from the bizarre and mysterious realm, the group was quite exhausted.
After exchanging greetings, the group returned to their tents to rest.
However, during their rest, the atmosphere inside the tent located in the middle of the camp was somewhat tense.
"What do you think? Do you believe what Su Chen and Zhan Wei said?"
After listening to Wu Zheng's account, Cheng Kun's face darkened.
"I think there seems to be some truth to that..."
Wu Zheng said cautiously.
"That makes absolutely no sense!"
Cheng Kun immediately swore, cursing and swearing.
"Old Wu, you've been in the combat unit for a long time, how can you believe such nonsense?"
"If the secret realm is really that simple and offers no benefits whatsoever, then what is the point of its existence?"
Wu Zheng was speechless.
Seeing this, Yan Liang quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Minister, please calm down."
"Su Chen and Zhan Wei's words are indeed unreliable."
"But the problem is, we don't have any evidence."
Upon entering the secret realm and reaching the grove behind the Dragon King Temple, after seeing the giant dragon's remains, everyone's memories vanish.
Apart from Su Chen and his group of four, no one knows what happened during this time.
"If you ask me, Su Chen definitely pocketed all the benefits within the Purple Mountain Secret Realm!"
Wu Zheng guessed.
"Of course! Absolutely!"
Cheng Kun gritted his teeth and said.
"Brother-in-law, we have to think of a way. We can't let that kid Su Chen get it all by himself."
Liu Hailong also fanned the flames.
Cheng Kun's expression was uncertain, and after a long while, he finally let out a long breath.
"Old Wu, Old Yan, have someone arrange a celebration banquet tonight. I want to test Su Chen properly!"
"Yes!"
The two men solemnly accepted the order.
Time flew by, and it was evening.
As night fell, a campfire was lit in the camp.
The staff of Suzaku also set up a simple banquet.
Everyone who participated in the Zishan Secret Realm trip was invited to the event.
This naturally includes Su Chen, Zhan Wei, Peng Yu, and Zhong Ya Yun.
Seeing the lively scene, Zhan Wei couldn't help but laugh.
"At least the minister has a conscience and knows how to treat us well."
"I'm afraid this is a trap."
Su Chen's sudden remark startled Zhan Wei.
Before he could even ask what was going on, he saw Yan Liang walking over with a beaming smile.
"Boss Su, Supervisor Zhan!"
"Hello, Captain Yan."
Su Chen nodded slightly in response.
"Boss Su, Minister Cheng asked me to invite you to sit on the stage."
Yan Liang pointed to a spot not far away.
In the center of the banquet, a simple platform was set up with a row of seats.
Cheng Kun was already seated in the very center, looking this way.
He exchanged a glance with Su Chen, then smiled and picked up the wine glass beside him.
"Forget it, I prefer to keep a low profile."
Su Chen politely declined.
"Oh no, this won't do."
Yan Liang insisted,
"We were able to escape from the secret realm this time entirely thanks to Boss Su, so you are the star of the night."
“If you don’t go over there, Minister Cheng won’t let me off the hook.”
Since he had said all that, unless Su Chen wanted to break ties with Cheng Kun, he really couldn't refuse.
"alright."
Su Chen nodded.
They followed Yan Liang onto the stage.
"Boss Su, you're here."
Cheng Kun greeted Su Chen with a smile.
Even Liu Hailong, who was behind him, had a warm smile on his face.
It was as if the filth between the two sides had never existed.
"Hello, Minister Cheng."
Su Chen responded indifferently.
After a few brief pleasantries, Cheng Kun announced the official start of the banquet.
Soon, staff members brought out the prepared dishes.
They have everything from whole roasted lamb and suckling pig to all sorts of hearty dishes, as well as fine liquors like Maotai and Wuliangye.
The atmosphere at the banquet was still quite lively.
"Come on, Boss Su, let me toast you."
Cheng Kun, along with Wu Zheng, Yan Liang, Liu Hailong, and others, took turns toasting Su Chen.
They seemed genuinely grateful to Su Chen for saving the entire team during their trip to the Purple Mountain Secret Realm.
Su Chen accepted all offers without hesitation.
However, he remained vigilant.
Cheng Kun and Liu Hailong are both petty and narrow-minded people; how could they possibly be so kind?
as predicted.
After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, Cheng Kun suddenly put down his wine cup and said loudly,
"Please, everyone, have a moment of silence!"
As soon as he spoke, the entire camp fell silent.
All eyes turned to the stage.
