Chapter 41

Qin Peng politely declined Su Shiyue's invitation. He did not deny that he indeed wanted to have a close and friendly relationship with Su Shiyue, but he always kept a clear head. He knew that Su Shiyue was not someone he could aspire to, or more accurately, not someone he could aspire to at the moment.

Qin Peng had a clear understanding of himself. It was laughable that Wang Yang, thinking his family background was extraordinary, believed he was the most suitable person to approach and pursue Su Shiyue. What he didn't know was that, in Su Shiyue's eyes, Wang Yang was nothing. As long as her father was willing, he could create such a family background at any time.

Su Shiyue looked at Qin Peng, and a ripple of curiosity stirred in her heart. She had been so straightforward, yet Qin Peng actually refused her. If anyone else had received her invitation, they would have eagerly agreed. He actually did not.

Su Shiyue naturally did not know the reason, but her gaze towards Qin Peng changed significantly.

Night fell!

Qin Peng returned home. His parents were at home, and although they had known Qin Peng was safe, they still felt a deep sense of joy when they saw him return.

Then, Qin Peng straightforwardly told them how he had saved Su Shiyue and how Su Xinghe, to repay him, decided to move their entire family to the Elite Zone.

Upon hearing this news, Qin Peng's parents were stunned. No one had expected such a thing to happen.

It was like a pie falling from the sky; their family had suddenly transformed from poor people to the top-tier wealthy.

However, fundamentally, this was not a pie falling from the sky. Qin Peng had risked his life to save Su Shiyue from the tiger's mouth. If it weren't for Tegla's attack on Qin Peng, which triggered his immortal state, they would most likely have become sacrifices to the so-called Tera Star Ancestor.

Qin Peng had saved Su Shiyue, a great kindness. But in Su Xinghe's eyes, moving Qin Peng's family to the Elite Zone was just a matter of a word.

Although, for Qin Peng's family, that word was a great favor.

Qin Peng's parents were so excited that they couldn't sleep that night. They chattered on and on, and by morning, they still couldn't believe it was real.

Qin Peng had already been about to go to bed, but his parents knocked on the door again, repeatedly asking him about the details. Qin Peng could only smile bitterly and, without getting annoyed, explained the specifics to them again and again.

Looking at his parents, Qin Peng suddenly found it a bit amusing. However, a slight worry crept into his heart. His parents were still commoners, and this sudden wealth might affect them.

As soon as this thought arose, Qin Peng shook his head. He muttered to himself that he was thinking too much. What if it did affect them?

The same night!

The Du Family!

Although Du Chen was considered a playboy in the academy, strictly speaking, he was only a bit arrogant in a small circle. In the larger circles, Du Chen was nothing. Facing a top-tier family like the Wangs, he could be crushed in a moment.

"Du Chen is dead?" Du Chen's father, Du Sicheng, did not look good at all.

Most of the students in Class 19 had returned alive, but Du Chen was dead. Although Du Sicheng had many children, the death of his son was not a pleasant experience.

However, the Tera Star people's rebellion was unexpected, and Du Sicheng could not afford to offend the Elite Academy.

"Sir, there is someone outside who wants to see you!" At this moment, a servant quickly walked in and politely said, "He says he has a big business deal to discuss with us!"

"Who is it?" Du Sicheng frowned, somewhat impatiently, "Tell him to get lost, I'm not in the mood!"

"Wow, what a big mouth!" At this moment, a contemptuous voice echoed in Du Sicheng's ear.

Du Sicheng suddenly looked up and saw a young man, about twenty years old, walking in. Recognizing the young man, Du Sicheng's face turned cold, and he coldly asked, "Who are you? How did you get in?"

"They didn't dare to stop me!" The young man sneered, pointing to the badge on his chest, "Do you recognize this?"

Du Sicheng was stunned, and his optical brain beeped. He immediately shouted, "You're from the Shengshi Group, the Wang family?"

The young man's sneer did not diminish, and he slowly said, "You're smart!"

Du Sicheng immediately put on a respectful expression, "Mr. Wang, what brings you here?"

The young man smiled lightly and slowly said, "No need to rush, let me show you a video first."

He casually took out an optical brain, and a 3D image appeared. Du Sicheng's pupils contracted; it was the video recorded by Wang Shishi.

"Qin Peng, you killed me, you won't have a good end either!"

Du Chen's hysterical roar, Qin Peng coldly inserted his fingers into Du Chen's throat. Du Sicheng's face changed drastically, and he mechanically turned to look at the young man, "What do you mean by this?"

"You saw it!" The young man slowly said, "Qin Peng killed Du Chen!"

Du Sicheng looked at the young man and slowly asked, "What does the Wang family mean by this?"

"Nothing much, just telling you who killed Du Chen. His name is Qin Peng, just a commoner. Also, our young master doesn't want Qin Peng to see the next day's sun!" The young man smiled lightly and continued, "Do you understand what I mean?"

Du Sicheng was stunned and then asked curiously, "Why?"

"Why, that's not for you to consider!" The young man slowly said, "Remember, as long as Qin Peng is dead, your Du family will benefit greatly!"

Du Sicheng remained silent, but he was now more calm.

He was not the type to rush out and kill someone in a fit of anger. Why hadn't the Wang family killed Qin Peng themselves? With Qin Peng's status and position, the Wang family could crush him in a moment. Why hadn't they?

Could there be some force supporting Qin Peng?

Du Sicheng fell into silence.

However, Du Sicheng had his own thoughts. He knew that this young man coming to him probably did not want to tangle with another force and was using him as a scapegoat.

With a plan in mind, Du Sicheng smiled, "Mr. Wang, this might not be so easy."

The young man smiled and slowly said, "Don't talk nonsense, look at this!"

He sent an email to Du Sicheng.

Sucking in a breath, Du Sicheng was taken aback. The email contained a huge order. Du Sicheng's business mainly involved a new energy crystal nucleus production company, processing various energy crystal nuclei for use in various social fields. The young man offered Du Sicheng a significant benefit.

At least a 1 billion star yuan order. Even with Du Sicheng's considerable assets, this 1 billion star yuan order was deeply shocking. This order was almost equivalent to the Du family's total assets.

"If Mr. Du is willing, you can take this order. The advance payment is 200 million, which can be directly deposited into your private bank account," the young man slowly said.

200 million!

Du Sicheng's breathing became rapid. He knew the authenticity of the email. As long as he made a move, he could secure this business. The cake was too big.

"Mr. Wang, this..." Du Sicheng hesitated, looking at the young man.

The young man casually said, "This is a cooperation between our Shengshi Group and you. There are things we don't want to handle ourselves. Mr. Du, we are giving your Du family a chance. This chance is right in front of you. It's up to you whether you can accept it or not!"

Du Sicheng bit his lip, his heart wavering. The opportunity in front of him was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime chance.

Seizing this opportunity, the Du family could climb up to the Wang family and, in the future, might even move to the Elite Zone.

Wealth comes with risk.

Du Sicheng indeed had a sense of adventure. Eliminating Qin Peng meant the Du family would rise to prominence.

Taking a deep breath, Du Sicheng slowly said, "I need to think about this. At the latest, I will give you an answer tomorrow. How about that?"

The young man looked deeply at Du Sicheng, a faint smile on his face, "Absolutely!"

Du Sicheng smiled and slowly said, "See you out!"

The young man left the study, and Du Sicheng took a deep breath. He was still a bit nervous, but he had made up his mind. As long as he eliminated Qin Peng without anyone knowing, no one would suspect him.

Taking another deep breath, Du Sicheng pondered a plan in his mind.

(First update, sorry, there was an issue yesterday, and I didn't update. I'll try to update more today, hoping for your understanding!)
