Peach-Orange! – Chapter 585 – I Want That Kind of Ending Too

9 PM.

Su Tao arrived at the underground parking garage and got into a small car, quickly leaving Jasmine Neighborhood.

There was only one driver, who was very silent. They headed north the whole way, got on the highway, and left the city.

Su Tao was a bit nervous. She was somewhat worried that this car might be a trap, taking her somewhere else.

She could feel Naiyue’s sincerity.

But after experiencing so much, where everyone was an acting expert, no one could be sure if the other person was just pretending.

If just acting for three days and sending people to cooperate could trick her into being taken away, that young lady would definitely do it.

But she had no choice but to take a bit of a gamble.

To gamble on whether this so-called father truly cared about her.

More importantly, this was an opportunity to save Brother Chi Song. If she missed it, there might truly be no other chance.

She could not give up!

She wanted this old brother to smile at her and Xiaocheng’s wedding in the future.

Furthermore, she didn’t want to let Xiaocheng down.

Xiaocheng wanted to save Brother Chi Song, yet she had imprisoned Xiaocheng.

If Brother Chi Song really died, she would be the murderer.

She didn’t want to bring about that kind of ending either.

While protecting Xiaocheng, if there were other opportunities, she would strive to take them!

Even if she would be injured, or killed.

The car window was cracked open, cold wind blowing in, stirring Su Tao’s strands of long hair and her hood. The girl’s resolute eyes were unshakable.

The car continued driving, finally exiting at a remote highway interchange. After driving for another ten-plus minutes.

“Young Lady, we’re here.”

The car stopped in a desolate small village. Late at night, only faint lights could be seen within, somewhat terrifying; one might even think it was haunted.

However…

Su Tao picked up the phone she had bought for Chi Xiaocheng.

Here, the signal was only one or two bars. The drive alone had taken over two hours.

She walked forward using her flashlight. Only after seeing Naiyue’s gentle-looking face did she relax.

“Young Lady.” Naiyue walked up. “The brothers are all ready. The distance from here to the deep mountains where Brother Chi Song is located is about five kilometers. Further ahead, we will encounter Ye Er’s people.”

Su Tao looked up, gazing at the large mountain that seemed both distant and right before her.

Looking out, searchlights could be seen.

In the sky, a helicopter was also patrolling.

Su Tao swallowed, “It’s been ten days already, and Ye Er still hasn’t given up?”

Naiyue said helplessly, “Because the entire mountain is sealed off. The fact that Brother Chi Song and the others haven’t escaped proves they are still inside. So the search here hasn’t stopped for a moment.”

Brother Chi Song has really had it hard.

Su Tao felt some bitterness in her heart, which then turned into resolve. “So what’s next? Do we charge straight in?”

“Regarding the operation plan, we need to discuss it with you.”

“Discuss?”

“Yes, Lord Tianyu is also inside waiting for you.”

Hearing that name, Su Tao frowned, displeased.

She didn’t care about the so-called War God Temple, and whether he was the successor or not had nothing to do with her. But the rumors created because of this person made Su Tao unhappy.

Who says you are a perfect match made in heaven?

Xiaocheng and I are the pair!

But these people take orders from Su Tianyu. If Su Tao wanted to save Chi Song, she couldn’t avoid dealing with him.

No choice, Su Tao had to follow Naiyue inside.

On the way, she asked, “Can you tell me about this Tianyu?”

“Uh, of course.” Naiyue chose her words, “Lord Tianyu is quite arrogant. His growth journey has been almost without setbacks. Smooth sailing has given him a feeling that he is invincible.”

“So, no matter who he deals with, he has a somewhat superior attitude, even towards the brothers.” Naiyue glanced around and said in a low voice, “So even though he is strong, the brothers don’t actually like him.”

Su Tao raised an eyebrow, “Without winning people’s hearts, can he still become the successor?”

“Not exactly.” Naiyue shook her head. “He is a classic example of action through violent aesthetics. Some of the more peace-minded members in the organization can’t accept his pure violence. But also because of this violence, he has united another group of people who prefer this method.

“Plus, he has beaten many into submission. Currently, the organization is actually divided into three major factions.”

Naiyue felt that Su Tao was the Young Lady and had inherited the War God bloodline. If she wanted, she also had a chance to compete for the successor position.

So she revealed these secrets that only formal members would know.

Currently, the largest faction is the one supporting Lord Tianyu, called the Offensive Faction. They believe conflicts should be resolved with force, and only a powerful force can continue to lead the War God Temple.

The second is the Traditionalist Faction that still supports Boss Su. The Traditionalists believe Boss Su is only in his forties, not even retirement age yet. He can definitely lead the War God Temple for another five or ten years, so there’s no need to retire so soon and hand the War God Temple over to Su Tianyu.

Also, because of Su Dingtian’s prestige, although the Traditionalist Faction isn’t as strong as the Offensive Faction, a delicate balance has formed during internal confrontations.

Finally, there is the Conservative Faction, also called the Life Faction. This faction mostly consists of middle-aged and elderly members within the organization. These middle-aged fellows followed Su Dingtian through years of battles. Now they are old, injured, and have lost their fighting spirit. They just want to find a place to settle down and retire, not wanting conflict.

This faction, because they are all old-timers and belong to the War God Temple’s founding meritorious members, even though they are few in number and are fence-sitters, the other two factions dare not do anything to them.

They can only be won over, not expelled.

Naiyue said seriously, “Young Lady, if you return, you can definitely lead the Conservative Faction. And you are Boss Su’s direct bloodline, they will surely support you.

“The Traditionalist Faction would also come over to you, supporting both you and Boss Su.”

Su Tao was thoughtful and looked at Naiyue, “Which faction are you in?”

Naiyue smiled sheepishly, “You see, I’m telling you all this, so I’m definitely the fence-sitting kind. I don’t want to fight and kill, I prefer a stable life.”

As she spoke, she sighed again, “Actually, Boss Su thinks the same way. He wants the brothers to prioritize life. He even once considered disbanding the group, but was stopped.”

Su Tao: “So that means, the rumor about me and Su Tianyu being a pair originated from the Offensive Faction.”

“Yes…”

Before she could finish the next word, Naiyue quickly closed her mouth.

Before they even reached the interior of the desolate village, they saw a shirtless, muscular man walking towards them.

The man had a cigarette in his mouth. As he walked over, he openly scrutinized Su Tao, who was wearing a hood.

Su Tianyu.

Noticing Naiyue’s expression and the trace of respect in the eyes of the other War God Temple members around, Su Tao understood the identity of the newcomer.
