Chapter 759 Who Is the Ghost?
However, Su Chen did not intend to reveal his identity so soon. In the current situation, he still needed to pretend for a while.
"Who invited King Chen Dan? I will reward you handsomely."
Su Jingyun asked everyone present.
Several elders looked at the elder together.
And the elder looked at Su Xinyu.
Su Xinyu looked at He Peng.
"Uh..."
He Peng scratched his head, not knowing whether he should mention Su Shicheng.
Finally, at Su Chen's signal, He Peng said: "Master, in fact, this King Chen Dan was found by Master Shicheng. Although Master Shicheng has lived outside for these years, he has always been thinking about you, Master. This time, he heard that you were seriously ill, and he was so worried that he couldn't eat or sleep..."
"Shicheng?"
Su Jingyun's face suddenly changed, and the smile froze on his lips.
At this moment, his expression was very complicated, with anger and sadness mixed in his eyes, but more of nostalgia.
Although he had driven Su Shicheng out of the house in a fit of anger, he was his biological son after all. How could he really cut off ties with him completely?
However, since Su Shicheng left the Su family, he really didn't contact Su Jingyun. In his disappointment, he made up his mind to treat this son as if he didn't exist from then on.
In this way, the father and son, as if they were angry, didn't contact each other for more than ten years.
But now, knowing that the Dan King who cured him and detoxified him was actually found by Su Shicheng, Su Jingyun realized that Su Shicheng had not really denied him as his father for so many years.
Several elders around were also surprised. They didn't expect that Chen Dan King was actually invited by Su Shicheng, and they didn't expect that although Su Shicheng was not in the Su family, he was always thinking about Su Jingyun in his heart.
"Shicheng, is he okay?"
When Su Jingyun asked this question, his voice was trembling.
"He's not well."
At this time, Su Chen said lightly.
Hearing Su Chen's words, Su Jingyun's old face trembled and fell silent.
After a long while, Su Jingyun sighed deeply: "That's true. Shicheng has been away for more than ten years. I just hope that after experiencing all kinds of human feelings, his temper can be improved a little..."
"Uh..."
The elder couldn't help but interrupt, "Master, isn't Shicheng's temper exactly the same as yours?"
"Ahem."
Su Jingyun's face twitched again, but he couldn't refute it.
After a moment of silence, Su Jingyun finally spoke again and asked He Peng, "Where is Shicheng? Let him come back..."
"Old Patriarch..."
He Peng was a little embarrassed, "Master Shicheng repeatedly told me not to tell you that he invited Chen Dan Wang for you. Now that I have told you, I have violated Master Shicheng's instructions..."
"Really?"
Su Jingyun was a little disappointed. His son didn't want him to know that he invited Dan Wang. The meaning was self-evident, that is, he didn't want to return to the Su family.
"Patriarch."
The elder shook his head full of white hair and said, "I'm not saying anything bad about you. If you really want Shicheng to come back, you should go and invite him in person, instead of asking someone to notify him to come back... You know, you personally ordered him to be driven out of the Su family. If you don't apologize to him in person, with his self-esteem, is it possible for him to come back?"
Su Jingyun was silent for a while, and he had to admit that what the elder said made sense. At first, he personally ordered Su Shicheng to be driven out of the Su family. Now, he just sent a servant to pass the message and wanted Su Shicheng to come back. It seemed too disrespectful.
"Master, we can talk about Master Shicheng later, but how did you get poisoned? This is very strange and must be investigated immediately."
Another elder spoke up.
"That's right. The Su family is so heavily guarded, especially the master's yard, which is the top priority of defense. How could the master be poisoned?"
The elders echoed one after another, and it was obvious that this matter made them feel very puzzled.
Su Jingyun's face became serious when he heard this. He sat up straight and said, "This matter must be thoroughly investigated. Do you have any clues? Who poisoned the family?"
Several elders frowned and thought, then shook their heads and said, "In recent times, except for a few Dan Kings who came to treat the disease, no outsiders have come into the family. Unless the poison was given a long time ago!"
Su Chen said calmly, "Impossible, the poison was given in the past few months. Before, your family master just had an old injury that was not healed, but in the past few months, he has been sleeping frequently. This is a manifestation of poisoning. You should check carefully to see if there is a traitor in the family."
"Traitor?"
Everyone present looked at each other. Is there a traitor in the family? The poison was given by a traitor?
Although they knew that what Su Chen said made sense, it was still difficult for them psychologically.
