Peach-Orange! – Chapter 543 – The Best Defense is Offense

Only two individuals actually required speculation.

One was the Young Lady.

The other was the World Will.

The most important one was the latter.

Su Tao took another look at Brother Long, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided not to voice the matters concerning the World Will.

Si Chen seemed to perceive Su Tao’s concern and gave a light laugh, “It’s fine, you can say whatever you want. Brother Long is one of us.”

Su Tao was taken aback, “One of us means…?”

“Why do you think, out of so many people, I only discuss things with Brother Long? If we’re talking about influence, Dongfang Yang is far superior to Brother Long. I basically only need to direct Brother Long remotely.”

Brother Long also rubbed his bald head, not appearing the least bit embarrassed, “That’s indeed the case. It might seem like I, along with Chi Song, brought a group of people here, but honestly, compared to the level of influence someone like Ye Er has, our brothers are just small-timers.”

After saying this, Brother Long shrugged, “To be frank, the reason I’ve gotten to where I am today is all thanks to Chi Song’s ferocity. The reason he could chase that Dragon King around was also because he fights like he doesn’t care about his life.

“But precisely because of this, our no-holds-barred way of fighting is only good for dealing with underground gangs. Once we step into the legitimate arena, we become toys.”

Even now, Brother Long believed that the reason Chi Song could chase the Dragon King wasn’t because Chi Song was powerful, but because that Dragon King was too useless.

But the result was that it gave Chi Song confidence. Now he was already preparing to chase Ye Er.

Hearing this, Su Tao cautiously asked again, “Then… can I really say it? Brother Long knows everything?”

Si Chen smiled, simply looking at Brother Long.

The man with a fierce expression rubbed his bald head again, revealing a complex look, “To be honest, after learning that I had actually already died, I was quite shocked.”

Upon hearing this, Su Tao understood that Brother Long truly knew everything.

From Brother Long’s words, did it mean that in the so-called original work, Brother Long had actually died early?

In fact, it was indeed Si Chen who had told Brother Long these details.

And Chi Xiaocheng had long since informed Si Chen about these matters.

As a gang leader, Brother Long wouldn’t have survived in Lychee City without brains, which was also the reason Si Chen told him the actual situation.

One more person meant one more source of help, and it could also lessen the pressure on him a bit.

Su Tao sat quietly to the side. After listening to Brother Long’s account, she learned a bit more about the so-called original work’s content.

So, in that world, Brother Long would be assassinated.

Now, after the worldline changed, and after moving to Jiuzhou City, his life trajectory was completely altered, no longer controlled or influenced by the World Will.

After listening, Su Tao looked at Si Chen again, “Then, Si Chen, can you tell me about your experiences?”

Si Chen raised an eyebrow, “Then you tell me first, how much do you already know? I’m not sure about some things, whether I can tell you or not.”

When the other party arrived, Si Chen actually had a feeling.

But he wasn’t certain enough.

Su Tao didn’t mind either, speaking openly.

She even mentioned that in the original work, she would also commit suicide.

After listening, Si Chen nodded, “It seems you really do know everything. Since that’s the case, it shouldn’t hurt to tell you.

“Actually, I learned about this matter quite early on. The person primarily behind this is Chi Xiaocheng.”

Si Chen slowly recounted the events of the past.

Then he spoke about what he had learned about his probable self in the original work.

Aside from inexplicably simping for that Young Lady, Si Chen was quite satisfied with the other version of himself in other aspects.

Then he added, “As for before, when you said things like Chi Xiaocheng was always deceiving you, those were actually actions of necessity. The one she was truly deceiving wasn’t you, but the existence hiding within your body.

“If that guy isn’t expelled, then you can never become ‘Su Tao’, you will always be a time bomb. Chi Xiaocheng couldn’t even share a little more information with you; even if you liked each other, it was difficult to lay your hearts open to one another.”

Hearing this, Su Tao, uncharacteristically docile, nodded, “I’m sorry.”

She admitted her mistake.

It was an admission to Si Chen, and also to Chi Xiaocheng, who wasn’t here.

Si Chen waved his hand, “Forget it, it’s all in the past. What matters now is that you two are fine. Now that everything’s out in the open, you can say whatever you want to say.”

Brother Long also sat to the side nodding, and even handed Su Tao a glass of juice, “Have a drink first. There’s plenty of time. Young Master Si and I are currently just discussing strategies for dealing with that existence and that Young Lady later on.”

Su Tao picked up the glass of juice, took a small sip, then glanced at the alcohol in the glasses beside Si Chen and Brother Long, pushed the juice aside, “Give me the white one.”

Brother Long and Si Chen were both stunned.

They looked at each other.

The white one, could it mean…

Brother Long looked down at his half-glass of baijiu, then looked at a bottle nearby.

Finally, he picked up that bottle of Pulpy Coconut Juice and very solemnly poured a glass for Su Tao.

The rich coconut aroma combined with the thick, pulpy juice, white and gleaming.

When this glass of coconut juice was placed in front of Su Tao, she was silent for a while, “Actually, I meant baijiu.”

“That won’t do,” Brother Long refused outright, “Xiao Tao, how old are you? Beer is one thing, but baijiu? Girls talking don’t need that kind of atmosphere. Whatever you want to say, just say it directly.”

But I’m almost 20!

I’ve tried baijiu once, twice, three times… who knows how many times already!

Su Tao really wanted to say that, but seeing the stern expression on the bald man’s face, she swallowed her words.

Then, simply taking a sip of the coconut milk, she recounted the events from her dream in meticulous detail.

She didn’t dare to tell Xiao Hei in such detail because she knew Xiao Hei would definitely tell Chi Xiaocheng everything.

If Xiaocheng got emotional, she wouldn’t think rationally.

But Si Chen was different.

He could analyze the current situation very calmly for her.

After she finished describing the entire process, Si Chen also widened his eyes, “The me in the dream actually died in such a frustrating way?”

Su Tao tilted her head, “Although I’m grateful to the you in the dream, is that really the main point now?”

“Please, this is related to me, isn’t it important to me?” Si Chen also looked at Su Tao speechlessly.

However, he was quite satisfied with his dream self, at how he easily deduced the deep meaning behind the carved words.

‘Heh, as expected of me.’

But he could understand Su Tao’s concern, “So, you’re thinking about how to better protect Xiaocheng?”

“No.”

Su Tao shook her head seriously, “Protecting Xiaocheng is one aspect, but I understand that merely protecting will only lead to passive harm. I want to know how to deal with the Young Lady and the so-called World Will. I want to kill them!”

The young girl’s eyes blazed with anger.

All along, she had failed to protect Xiaocheng properly.

Talking about protection, but injuries still happened.

Might as well eliminate all those who would harm Xiaocheng!
