Chapter 199: The Final Truth (4)
But now, Su Luo actually had another one in her hand; so, was there still a chance to find out the truth?
In fact, Su Luo's move was executed beautifully.
Just by waving that piece of paper, she could wash away the dirty water Su Zian had splashed on her.
Since she dared to brazenly bring it out in public, it proved that this thing was not the scandalous item Su Zian had nonsensically claimed it to be.
After all, if it were true, the person who would most want to destroy the paper wouldn't be Su Zian, but Su Luo herself.
Su Zian glared at Su Luo, his face stern and cold. "Luo'er, be good. Quickly destroy that thing!"
Su Luo raised an eyebrow with a half-smile. "What is Father in such a rush for? Your daughter is quite curious about what this scandalous thing actually is." As she spoke, Su Luo's gaze swept around the area, then she looked back at Su Zian and said calmly, "Looking at everyone's faces, they seem quite curious too. Father, how about we let everyone see it and judge for themselves? What do you think?"
These words made Su Zian so angry he nearly toppled over.
This unfilial, rebellious daughter! She truly was infuriating him to death!
Su Zian was so enraged he almost rushed forward to strangle Su Luo, but the situation did not allow him to do so.
Madam Su had been married to Su Zian for many years and understood his mindset better than anyone. She smiled softly at Su Luo and said, "Luo'er, stop being angry with your father. How can there be a grudge between father and daughter that lasts overnight? Besides, your father is doing this for your own good, isn't he?"
As Madam Su spoke, she moved closer to Su Luo.
At this moment, almost everyone's attention was focused on Su Luo and Madam Su; hardly anyone saw Su Zian secretly signal Captain Zhao with his eyes.
Captain Zhao understood and, hiding behind Su Luo, silently approached her… three steps, two steps, one step… Just at the moment he reached out to snatch the paper from Su Luo's hand, suddenly—
A dark shadow brought a gust of eerie, cold wind, and a Wind Blade sliced across that wrist!
In an instant, Captain Zhao's wrist was severed from his arm!
"Ah—!" Due to the intense pain, Captain Zhao collapsed to the ground, clutching his spurting arm in agony, his face contorted and twisted from the pain.
On the ground, blood gushed like a spring.
It was mottled and splattered everywhere.
A heavy scent of blood filled the air.
Su Luo's thin brows furrowed slightly as she looked directly at Su Zian, the mockery at the corners of her mouth evident. "Father, surely you wouldn't kill your own daughter just to silence her over this small scrap of paper?"
Su Zian's face turned livid with rage as he barked, "What nonsense are you talking about! Shut your mouth!"
Bei Chenying clapped and laughed. "General Su, this play is truly too interesting; I am watching with great interest." As he spoke, he walked toward Su Luo step by step, raising an eyebrow at her with a smile. "Fourth Miss Su, would it be convenient to let me see this paper? I am quite curious myself…"
Su Luo's expression remained calm. Her gaze shot toward Su Zian, seeing his darkened face shaking incessantly, his eyes like sharp swords that seemed sharp enough to pierce her heart.
If looks could kill, Su Luo would likely have been torn to pieces many times over by now.
Meeting those eyes as sharp as a Falcon's, Su Luo curled her lips into a faint smile and said to Bei Chenying, "Since Lord Bei Chen wants to see it, I shouldn't refuse, but my father doesn't seem very willing…"
Besides, this Brocade Box was clearly put there by you, Bei Chenying, yourself; no one knows better than you what's inside.
