Su Yuze wasn't sure if Du Long's words were reliable, but he wasn't stupid enough to go to the meeting alone.
He did want to resolve this matter quickly, but if Su Rou found out, she'd surely worry. Yet he couldn't keep it from her either, or she'd be even more worried.
"Have you made up your mind?" Su Rou looked seriously at Su Yuze. "It'll be very dangerous." Du Long wasn't someone to be trifled with. It might well be a trap, just waiting for Su Yuze to fall into it!
"But Xiaorou'er, we have to put an end to this, don't we?" Su Yuze looked into her worried eyes. "I won't go alone."
"You..." Su Rou wanted to say something else, but didn't know where to start. She didn't want Su Yuze to go. Maybe it was because she was pregnant and more emotional, but Su Rou always had a feeling that she might lose him.
"What's wrong?" Su Yuze asked softly when he saw that she seemed to have something to say.
"Um..." Su Rou thought for a while and finally said, "You must come back."
Su Yuze smiled. "Of course." He had to come back for her and the baby!
Su Rou still wanted to say something, but in the end, it turned into a gentle kiss on Su Yuze's lips.
Su Yuze was also touched and kissed her back. After a long time, they slowly pulled away from each other. Su Yuze stroked her head and comforted her softly, "I promise I'll come back."
"Okay." Su Rou nodded, looking a bit dejected.
...
Early the next morning, Su Yuze received a call from Yu Feng. On the other end of the phone, Yu Feng started scolding, "Hey, Young Master Yu, you can't play like this. You're going to have a one - on - one with Du Long. Why didn't you tell me?"
"Why should I tell you?" Su Yuze asked calmly.
"Damn it, you don't consider me your brother, do you?" Yu Feng shouted.
"No." Su Yuze said, "You're still injured."
Hearing this, Yu Feng proudly raised the corner of his mouth. "Hehe, I knew you cared about me."
"..." Yu Feng was really disgusting!
"However, I still want to go with you." Yu Feng said. Since he regarded Su Yuze as his brother, he didn't want to watch Su Yuze go alone.
"Xiao Yun told you, right?" Su Yuze asked.
"Yeah." Yu Feng replied.
"You'd better not go." Su Yuze said seriously. "Your injury isn't healed yet. If you go with me and something happens to both of us, who will come to our rescue?"
But... Yu Feng's expression darkened. "But I can't just watch my brother go to his death!" Yu Feng wasn't a coward. He couldn't just sit there and nurse his wound while his brother was in danger. If something was going to happen, they'd face it together!
"Yu Feng." Su Yuze started reasoning with him. "If you really want to help me, be the backup. You can go with me, but you can't go in. You have to stay in the dark."
"I..." Yu Feng had just started to speak when he suddenly thought of something and couldn't continue. Right, he could be the backup. He didn't have to go in. He'd surely catch Du Long off guard! "Okay, it's a deal!"
"Okay." Su Yuze's tone was a bit solemn. "Thanks."
"Cut it out!" Yu Feng scoffed disdainfully. "What are you thanking me for? You're being too polite!"
Su Yuze's lips curled up into a silent smile. "Okay."
That night, Su Yuze drove his sports car alone to the warehouse on Chaoyang Avenue. After he left, Yu Feng and Xiao Yun also set off.
In the warehouse, Su Yuze saw Du Long standing inside. The man's face was solemn, but when he saw Su Yuze come in, he smiled. "Su Yuze, you've finally come."
"Did I keep you waiting long?" Su Yuze retorted. "You said we'd meet here. Are you sure there's no one around?"
"Of course!" Du Long shrugged. "Why? You seem to not trust me at all."
"Is there anything about you that's trustworthy?" Su Yuze asked mockingly.
Du Long thought for a while. He was right. He was the murderer of Su Yuze's parents. He really didn't deserve to be trusted! "Fine, you can see for yourself. I'm the only one here!"
Su Yuze looked around. There was indeed no one else in the warehouse, but he couldn't be sure about other places.
"Tell me, what do you want to do?" Su Yuze asked.
"A one - on - one fight will do." Du Long said confidently with a smile.
Su Yuze casually took off his coat and got into a fighting stance. Du Long on the other side was wearing a black vest, and his well - built muscles filled it up. Looking at Su Yuze's slender figure, the fire of victory in his eyes burned even more fiercely. Su Yuze seemed so vulnerable!
Du Long's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he also got into a stance. The atmosphere between the two became tense.
"Su Yuze, you have to abide by the agreement. If you lose, you'll die!" Du Long said with a cruel and bloodthirsty smile.
"Of course. Don't forget your own promise when the time comes." Su Yuze said with a smile as well.
"Of course!"
...
Outside the warehouse, Xiao Yun and Yu Feng were nervously hiding in the dark, secretly observing the warehouse. The door of the warehouse was ajar, and they couldn't see clearly what was going on inside. "Hey, tomboy, do you think Young Master Yu will win?"
"Sure, he will!" Xiao Yun rolled her eyes at Yu Feng. "What? Don't you trust Boss Su?"
"No..." Yu Feng frowned. "I'm just worried that Du Long might play dirty tricks." He was really concerned about this. After all, the older one was more experienced. Du Long had been in the underworld for so many years and wasn't so easy to defeat.
"..." Xiao Yun pondered for a while. She also thought Yu Feng was right. "Kid, can you stop being such a jinx?" Seriously. "Have you ever seen Boss Su lose?"
Yu Feng shook his head slightly. "I don't mean that. It's just that... shouldn't we prepare for the worst?" It was wrong to only think about the good side and ignore the difficulties.
"I know." Xiao Yun said. "But you're overthinking it."
At this, both of them fell silent, lost in their own thoughts. In any case, they wouldn't let anything happen to Su Yuze! This was the one thing that was non - negotiable!
"Be ready at all times!"
"Okay!"
