Urban Soldier Young Master

Chapter 1019 - 1018: Just Wait a Little Longer

After surviving the disaster, Su Yuanzhou's mood was indescribably complex. Gratitude was certainly there, but amidst his current feelings, this sensation, though not entirely negligible, indeed occupied only a small proportion.How should such a mood be described? Truly indescribable, because even Su Yuanzhou couldn't pinpoint what kind of feeling it was.

After a violent coughing fit, the skin sunken around Su Yuanzhou's neck gradually relaxed, and he exhaled deeply, glancing at the man who had miraculously broken his hypnosis almost instantly and had nearly taken his life.

Though this man was now motionless, fingers threaded through his hair, head bowed, not focusing on him, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to act. Yet, at this moment, there was not even the slightest inclination within him to attack the man further.

Of course, Su Yuanzhou also confirmed one thing — Chu Ge couldn't possibly have been sent by someone to oppose him.

Because... he probably didn't even have the status for that.

Although thinking this way seemed like boosting others' morale while undermining his own prestige, he didn't feel stifled at all. Not to mention Chu Ge's incomprehensible dispelling of his hypnosis and nearly strangling him, just Chu Ge's recent indifferent gaze was enough to inspire awe.

If such a terrifyingly powerful person had truly come with the intention of causing trouble, how could he have the patience to play such a slow and systematic game?

Isn't there a saying that in the face of an absolute disparity in power, any intrigue is redundant?

With an indescribable emotion, Su Yuanzhou called out to Chu Ge, his tone devoid of surprise or apprehension. He was now somewhat enlightened because he knew very clearly that if Chu Ge truly wanted his life, it would only take seconds.

Upon hearing Su Yuanzhou's voice, Chu Ge withdrew his hands from his hair and slowly raised his head, turning his neck slightly, looking at the man he had almost killed.

Chu Ge's movements were not so much slow as mechanical, even though these were the simplest of actions, they were not fluid, filled with hesitation.

Su Yuanzhou had recovered from the intense suffocation, but Chu Ge had yet to recover from the enormous shock brought by that bizarre incident. His mind was still foggy, with Su Yuanzhou's voice seeming near and far, everything in sight appearing both real and illusory.

The two locked eyes again, but the meaning within their gazes was fundamentally different from before.

A bitter smile tugged at the corners of Su Yuanzhou's lips. After calling out to Chu Ge, he found himself unsure of what to say next.

"Boss Su, I'm sorry." It was Chu Ge who broke the silence first. He rubbed his forehead, a more pronounced bitter smile on his face, saying nearly dejectedly.

Even if Chu Ge hadn't acted against Su Yuanzhou on his own volition, he had at least "seen" the entire process, and he was now fully certain that there was merely some suspicion and misunderstanding between them, without any reason worthy of enmity.

Su Yuanzhou was slightly stunned, evidently not expecting Chu Ge to utter those three words with such an expression and tone.

"I wasn't sent by anyone, nor did I intend to cause you trouble or have any ulterior motives. I'm just here traveling in Japan, and as for who I am... I don't think it's necessary to explain in detail. In short, I hope you can believe I harbor no malice towards you or your family."

Su Yuanzhou said nothing as Chu Ge reiterated the three questions Su Yuanzhou had asked earlier, somewhat as a small compensation for his actions.

Su Yuanzhou nodded, still remaining silent.

"Boss Su, I know you're not an ordinary person either. Perhaps it's a bit presumptuous of me to ask, but if possible, I hope you could discuss your eyes with me. You hypnotized me earlier, right? Is that an innate ability or a skill mastered through acquired training?"

Chu Ge spoke earnestly, driven by the fear of the possible presence of another consciousness within him. He sought to understand matters beyond science as much as possible, thereby understanding the changes happening within himself, and devising an appropriate strategy.

Although Chu Ge didn't know whether this would yield results, it was undoubtedly better than doing nothing.

"Of course, if you find it difficult, pretend I never asked. Rest assured, I won't do anything to harm you. Regarding the safety of you and your family, if needed, I'll also provide some assistance."

After hearing Chu Ge's words, Su Yuanzhou hesitated for two seconds and finally nodded.

"Mr. Chu, as you've seen, I did indeed hypnotize you earlier. My eyes are inherently different from ordinary people, or rather, normal people. I discovered this hypnotic ability by accident."

Chu Ge actually hadn't held much hope, and his earlier words were by no means a threat. He was surprised that Su Yuanzhou actually spoke up, and now it was his turn to be slightly stunned.

After a brief shock came deep surprise. Chu Ge promptly asked, "Can you be a bit more specific?"

"Mr. Chu, it's not that I'm intentionally hiding anything. I really don't have much to say. I'm not very clear about this matter myself, so... sorry."

Although Su Yuanzhou spoke sincerely, and there seemed to be no flaw in his expression, Chu Ge had a strong intuition that he wasn't telling the truth.

Uncontrollably, Chu Ge felt a bit irritated. He stared at Su Yuanzhou's eyes, which seemed ordinary at the moment yet were actually extraordinary, and slightly frowned.

Irritated as he was, Chu Ge found himself without a solution for the moment. He could hardly resort to force to question him further, could he?

While that might be effective, after all, the two of them had no enmity, and the hypnosis performed by that person earlier was merely a test. Ultimately, it wasn't in Chu Ge to do such a thing.

Actually, Chu Ge could understand Su Yuanzhou because a secret like this would be huge for anyone. Why would they be willing to easily share it with a stranger?

Moreover... this stranger had almost killed him just a short while ago.

Even if that wasn't Chu Ge's initial intention, he couldn't explain that to Su Yuanzhou. Moreover, even if Chu Ge did explain, the other person would have to believe him, wouldn't he?

It's like a recent news story where a BMW driver killed someone in a car accident, then somehow obtained certification from some "authoritative institution" for "acute transient mental disorder," also known as "intermittent mental illness," and got away without consequences, as if carefree. Who wouldn't chuckle when hearing such a story?

Oh, you had a mental illness when driving, but as soon as you finished the crash, you were cured?

Although Chu Ge's situation seemed very similar earlier, he didn't even believe it himself until it happened to him, let alone expect Su Yuanzhou to believe it.

Even if Su Yuanzhou could believe it, Chu Ge still wouldn't reveal it. After all, just as Su Yuanzhou has his secrets, he too has his own. Empathizing with each other, there was nothing left to hold against or understand.

Chu Ge's frown gradually relaxed as he forced a smile and said with some disinterest, "Forget the sorry; it was my imposition."

Su Yuanzhou smiled apologetically again, "So... Mr. Chu, is there anything else? If not... I'll take my leave then?"

Chu Ge raised a hand to pinch his forehead, shook his head, "Nothing else, I've already taken up so much of Boss Su's time, and I acted rather unfriendly earlier. I'm truly sorry."

Saying that, Chu Ge made a gesture towards the door, inviting Su Yuanzhou to leave.

"Honestly, I always thought my hypnosis was flawless, and until just now, I'd never failed. It turns out... I'm just a frog in the well who thinks too highly of himself."

Su Yuanzhou mocked himself with a chuckle, let out a sigh, and walked towards the door. Just as he was about to reach it, Chu Ge suddenly remembered something and halted.

Su Yuanzhou, who was following closely behind and deeply lost in thought, hadn't registered Chu Ge stopping and nearly bumped into him. When he realized, he instinctively tried to step back, but after retreating two steps, he stopped.

If Chu Ge really intended harm, whether he recoiled or not probably wouldn't make a difference. Can an ant's stride ever match that of a lion?

Chu Ge turned around and, with a somewhat awkward smile, said, "Sorry, Boss Su, could you wait a moment longer?"

Su Yuanzhou nodded without questioning what Chu Ge was going to do. After all, he couldn't really resist anything Chu Ge might decide to do. As Chu Ge motioned towards the sofa, he went over and sat down.

Chu Ge took out his phone, glanced at the phone number Su Yuanzhou had left earlier, and confirmed with him again whether it was correct. After receiving affirmation, he made a call in the depths of the late night.

The call quickly connected, and a lazy voice came through the receiver, "Hello?"

"Zhan Bro, haha, looks like calling you was the right choice. As expected, you still live like a night owl. If I'm not mistaken, you're playing billiards right now?"

As soon as Chu Ge finished speaking, the person on the other end, referred to as "Zhan Bro," paused for a few seconds, clearly taken aback.

At this moment, it wasn't just "Zhan Bro" who was stunned; Su Yuanzhou on the sofa instinctively widened his eyes.
