"Brother-in-law, you were really cool just now. Do you know who he is?"

As soon as Shen Shao and Situ Lei left, Du Hanshuang stared at Su Chen with stars in her eyes and blurted out the question.

"Who cares who he is? He shouldn't have disrupted our meal anyway," Su Chen retorted casually.

"But that was Shen Shao, the Second Young Master of the Shen Family, a favorite son of heaven!" Du Hanshuang exclaimed. "I bet you're the only one in Yandu who would dare to refuse him like that, huh?"

"Ah, he's that impressive? Why didn't you tell me sooner!" Su Chen said, suddenly feigning surprise, his eyes widening with a hint of fear.

"What? Feeling scared now, huh? He must have you on his blacklist now!" Du Hanshuang snorted, feeling a surge of satisfaction, as if she had finally gotten revenge for his previous pranks.

"Do you think if I asked him to come back and sit with us now, he would let bygones be bygones?" Su Chen asked, pretending to be uneasy.

"What do you think?" Du Hanshuang rolled her eyes. "If you go now, it's not just about losing face; it would be a direct insult."

Du Hanbing, however, didn't think like her sister. She suspected that Su Chen knew the other man's identity all along and had acted deliberately. She didn't know why Su Chen would do such a thing, but she trusted that he had his reasons.

"Shen Shao may be a bit proud, but he's no simple man. You should be careful around him," Du Hanbing warned Su Chen with a glance.

"I understand. A dragon isn't a simple creature, is it?" Su Chen scoffed disdainfully.

"Ah, so you knew who he was all along? Were you playing me just now?" Du Hanshuang exclaimed, immediately realizing what was happening. Her angry eyes shot towards Su Chen again.

"You're just realizing that now?" Su Chen asked, ignoring her glare and leisurely continuing to eat.

Du Hanbing felt a headache coming on. Her sister and Su Chen seemed to clash constantly, almost as if they were natural enemies.

At a nearby table, Shen Shao and Situ Lei had also sat down. With a slight turn of the head, they could see Su Chen and his group.

Situ Lei's gaze remained fixed on Su Chen. Not only had Su Chen subjected him to a huge humiliation, but now he was cozying up to the woman he liked. This was intolerable. Both incidents were something Situ Lei could not let go of.

"What? You had previous issues with him?" Shen Shao asked, looking at him with a voracious expression, and chuckled softly.

"A little," Situ Lei said, his expression somewhat awkward, recalling being forced to bark like a dog on the ground—a memory he preferred to avoid.

With one glance, Shen Shao understood that a "little issue" was an understatement.

"Is he really that formidable?" Shen Shao picked up the teapot and poured tea for both of them.

"Thank you!" Situ Lei quickly rose halfway from his seat to express his gratitude. Hearing Shen Shao's question, he was momentarily stunned and blurted out, "Young Master Shen, how did you know?"

"Isn't it easy to guess? Considering you have a grudge against him, why would you do nothing? But now, he's perfectly fine, which indicates that your strike didn't affect him at all," Shen Shao said, sipping his tea lightly. "Moreover, your expression gave you away. You seem to hate him a lot, yet you are somewhat wary of him and somewhat helpless. Am I right?"

Hearing this, Situ Lei was shocked. Although Shen Shao had proven his insight and wisdom countless times and could deduce so much from minor clues, he was still astonished each time. He had hardly said anything, yet Shen Shao had already guessed so much, and so accurately.

"Indeed, this guy is cunning. I've sent out three groups of people so far, even one who I heard was a 'Qi Refinement Seventh Level' master, but all of them never returned!" Situ Lei said, frowning, seemingly unable to understand why.

"Oh, that's interesting. It looks like this person is quite intriguing!" Due to special reasons, Shen Shao had a decent understanding of the realms of Martial Arts. Hearing that even a Qi Refinement Seventh Level master couldn't handle this young man, a glint of sharpness flashed in his eyes. He then turned to look at the young man who was sneakily eyeing Du Hanbing with a smile that was hard to describe on his lips.

"Do you really want him dead?" Shen Shao asked casually.

"Of course, I dream of it!" Situ Lei spat out angrily.

"Then let me give you a piece of advice..." Shen Shao had just finished speaking when the waiter arrived with the dishes.

"A piece of advice?" After the waiter left, Situ Lei immediately asked. He was already eager to get rid of Su Chen, especially after seeing how close Du Hanbing and this man were, a desire that had become even more unstoppable.

"Have you heard of the Dark World?" Shen Shao lit a cigarette and asked casually.

"The Dark World? I seem to have heard of it, but I can't really remember," Situ Lei said somewhat uncertainly.

"In the Dark World, there is a Black List with all the world's top assassins listed. You can post a Dark Flower on it, and as long as the reward is sufficient, there are top experts willing to take action," Shen Shao said nonchalantly while eating, as if it were a trivial matter.

Hearing this, Situ Lei's face immediately lit up with excitement, and he hurriedly said, "That's great! But how do I contact them?"

"I'll give you a website later where you can post the task," Shen Shao said with a slight smile. "Now, let's eat first, as this is just a minor issue."

While they were eating, Su Chen and his group had already finished their meal and were walking out of the restaurant.

"Hanbing, I need to talk to Su Chen alone for a moment. Could you leave us for a while?" Du Hanshuang asked, somewhat shyly, upon seeing her sister still closely following them.

"So now I'm an eyesore, huh? Fine, I'll step away!" Du Hanshuang pouted unhappily and walked away.

"What secret do you have to tell me?" As soon as Du Hanshuang was out of earshot, Su Chen immediately stretched out a hand to block Du Hanbing's slender waist, his fingers gently sliding over it, the touch smooth and comfortable.

Not far away, Du Hanshuang, having just walked away, saw this scene and couldn't help but mutter, "Pervert!"

Du Hanbing also noticed her sister's gaze, feeling quite embarrassed, but understanding Su Chen's character, she let it be.

"I have to leave this afternoon," Du Hanbing suddenly said with a somewhat sad expression.
