Chapter 26: A Child is No Longer Under the Control of His Father
After Su Mo told this, Yang Xiaoyun finally calmed down a little.
In fact, Yang Xiaoyun may have had such thoughts in the past.
There is a saying that goes, too much concern leads to confusion.
She had regarded Su Mo as a family member since she was a child. When Su Mo was involved, especially such a dangerous assassination, she naturally became confused.
"You do have a point, I was not thoughtful enough...
"I only thought of Wu Chengfeng and the sinister person behind him, and focused on the private grudges of the young people. I forgot to consider that this might be related to the struggle for the leader of the Luofeng League.
"But, you want to wait for them to make another move, isn't that too dangerous?"
"Actually... it's hard to say what will happen with these two assassination attempts. If I was really powerless to resist the first time, and died in their hands, then that would be fine. But now that I'm alive, then... the matter is still unresolved. But in this case..."
When he said this, he paused slightly.
"how?"
Yang Xiaoyun looked at him, wanting to see if he had any other ideas.
Su Mo pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, there is one thing I am quite curious about. They are so anxious to kill me, as if killing me would directly destroy the alliance between Wu Daoyou and Uncle Yang? But the question is... So far, has Uncle Yang made any statement on this matter?"
"This... My father has been very secretive in recent years. He has been secretive about everything he does and never tells me the truth. The amount of time we have talked to each other in a few months is less than what he has talked to you in a day. How would I know what he thinks about this matter?"
Yang Xiaoyun said this with a hint of resentment.
Considering her words yesterday about hoping Yang Yizhi could "combine knowledge and action", it is not difficult to understand.
Su Mo nodded gently: "Let's put this matter aside for now. If what you and I imagine comes true, do you think the person they really want to deal with will just sit there and wait for death, watching the flowers bloom and fall in front of the pavilion?"
"No matter who is behind the scenes who wants to kill you, their fundamental purpose is probably to stop Wu Daoyou from succeeding. This incident is a blatant knife pointed at Wu Daoyou."
Yang Xiaoyun nodded and let out a breath.
“…It was me who got stabbed.”
"you know too?"
Yang Xiaoyun glared at Su Mo unhappily: "But in this case, no matter who is behind this, he has been constrained."
Su Mo nodded slightly and smiled: "Isn't this becoming interesting?"
"So in your opinion, what should we do now?"
"Of course, it is to stabilize oneself."
Su Mo smiled and said, "The more they want you to do something, the more you should not do it. Instead of acting blindly, it is better to sit back and watch the chaos. Otherwise, regardless of whether it is really possible to kill the entire Luofeng League, even if it is possible, can you really rely on force to commit such atrocities?"
When dealing with people in the martial arts world, martial arts are important, but one should not be arrogant and do whatever one wants.
Especially since Su Mo runs an escort agency, if he wants to make the agency more profitable, he has to be prudent and act in a proper way.
If you start killing people over a disagreement, you are just showing off your bravery and it is not a long-term solution.
In fact, most of those who only know how to rely on martial arts to commit crimes in the world don't have a good ending.
Either they are labeled as heretics or they are besieged and strangled by people from all sides who are in the right path.
Even though he has become a knife in the hands of others, he is completely unaware of it and instead feels complacent about it.
By the time the real purpose is revealed, it is already too late to regret.
"You are quite calm... I haven't seen you so good at keeping your temper in the past."
"People are forced to do things."
It was just a joke, but when he looked up, he saw that Yang Xiaoyun looked at him with a hint of pity.
I immediately wanted to give myself a slap in the face...
This seemed like a joke to him, but how could Yang Xiaoyun understand it?
Once this word is spoken, no one knows what Yang Xiaoyun will think.
Just as I was about to say something to change the subject, I saw Yang Xiaoyun suddenly slam the table:
"In that case , I won't go back during this period of time."
"Uh-huh?"
Su Mo suddenly looked up at Yang Xiaoyun: "What do you mean?"
"Regardless of whether the person behind the scenes is restrained or not, the relationship between them is so interconnected that even a single move can affect the entire body.
"Has Wu Daoyou made a decision?
“It has nothing to do with me.
"In my opinion, none of this is more important than your life. How can I go home and sleep peacefully until this matter is resolved?"
Yang Xiaoyun said as a matter of course: "Of course I have to stay by your side and protect you."
"...Uncle Yang won't agree to that."
"I'm not a three-year-old. Haven't you heard that saying?"
"What?"
"A son grows up and is no longer under the control of his father!"
“…”
Su Mo realized that not only had he never heard of this statement, but he had also never said it so confidently.
For a moment, his brows were furrowed. "Sister Xiaoyun... I'm afraid this is inappropriate. Although you and I are engaged, we have never been married. If you live in Ziyang Escort Agency now, your reputation..."
"Hmm? What does that mean? A mere reputation is nothing compared to your life."
Yang Xiaoyun waved his hand decisively: "Besides, you and I will eventually become husband and wife. I have been promised to you since I was a child. Everyone in Luoxia City knows that. A woman from the Yang family will not marry two men. This will not damage our reputation."
“Ah, this…”
Su Mo sucked his teeth, not really knowing what to say.
But he saw Yang Xiaoyun looking at him without blinking.
Su Mo subconsciously touched his face to make sure that the tea leaves were not on it: "What's wrong?"
"I want to take a closer look at you."
Yang Xiaoyun looked at Su Mo: "I have seen this face since I was a child, but I didn't expect that you and I have rarely seen each other in the past two years. When we met again, you suddenly looked different."
"…What's the difference here?"
"In the past, you were frivolous and indecisive, like a pile of mud that couldn't be propped up against a wall."
Yang Xiaoyun smiled and said, "Don't be upset if I tell you this. In fact, I may not be dissatisfied with our marriage before. But I can't break this promise. Therefore, I have made up my mind to support you for the rest of my life."
"this……"
Su Mo shook his head. If they really got married and lived together, no one could always support the person around them.
If this , then this life would be too tiring.
“But now it’s different.”
Yang Xiaoyun looked at Su Mo: "You seem to be reliable. Facing the assassination, you didn't change your expression, and your thoughts were so thorough that even I couldn't catch up. Wu Chengfeng is considered a good player among the younger generation. However, you shook your shoulders and sent him directly into the restaurant. This internal force is really amazing...
"Xiao Mo, what's going on with your internal strength? Why has it improved so rapidly?"
This woman is indeed a heroine. After she talked about martial arts for three sentences, her eyes lit up again and she stood up immediately: "Come on, let's fight again. Yesterday I thought you had little internal strength, so I didn't dare to use it to fight you. The main reason was that I was worried that my fists and feet were blind and I couldn't stop and hurt you again.
"Since you have achieved extraordinary inner strength, let's fight again!"
As she spoke, she pulled Su Mo to spar with him.
Su Mo was at a loss for words for a moment. At this moment, Uncle Fu came over from afar with a smile on his face:
"You must be hungry, right? I've prepared the food, come and eat."
