Gu Zhen didn't seem surprised at all. After he and Jiang Zongnan had a car accident, he told Su Lingzhi that this incident was related to the Shadow. Su Lingzhi didn't believe it, but he still investigated with a skeptical attitude, and only then did he find some clues.

"You are not surprised at all. Why are you so sure it is related to the Shadow Society?"

Gu Zhen did not hide it from her, "The matter was done too meticulously. There are not many people in Jiangcheng who can pull it off so beautifully. Let's first exclude those we have offended in the business world. In Jiangcheng, Jiang Zongnian and I must stay away from both the black and white worlds. No one dares to touch us. Only outsiders would be so presumptuous. And the only one who can clean up the mess is the Shadow Society."

"That makes sense, so I went to check. It's related to the Shadow Society, not Wen Han who sent people to kill you."

"You really care about Wen Han, are you afraid that I will misunderstand him?" Gu Zhen suppressed the jealousy in his heart.

"I don't want to affect your cooperation. You also know that the Elders' Council of the Shadow Society has rebelled. Although it was Wen Han who planned it, he was young and in power and he was indeed not convinced by the people. The Shadow Society has always ranked people based on seniority, which is the same as the system. You must have ability, courage, and seniority, and none of them can be missing. In this huge organization where seniority is the key, it will take Wen Han at least fifteen years to gain a foothold. He is in power at such a young age, and the people in the Elders' Council will not accept it, so he took a group of people away and set up his own business. This group of people is nominally a branch of the Shadow Society, and they will also swindle under the banner of the Shadow Society, but in fact they are no longer members of the Shadow Society." Su Lingzhi said lightly, "The murderers who planned the car accident were those who separated from the Shadow Society when it was rebuilt a year ago. They have feelings for the old president. You killed him, and this group of people are waiting for an opportunity in Jiangcheng to take revenge."

"You went out for a whole night just to investigate my car accident?" Gu Zhen's eyes moved slightly, and he tried hard to restrain the excitement in his heart. She cared about him, right?

Even though she said harsh words, she still cared about him in her heart.

"I'm afraid that this bunch of scum will ruin the reputation of the Shadow Society."

"You are just a member of the Rakshasa Legion. Why do you care so much about the Shadow Society?"

"Gu Zhen, I know you have a grudge against the Shadow Society, but my feelings towards the Shadow Society... you don't understand." Su Lingzhi said slowly, "I regard the Shadow Society as my home."

"Su Lingzhi!" Gu Zhen's voice rose instantly, with anger in his eyes. "What kind of place is the Shadow Club? A man-eating abyss. When you join the Shadow Club, you first go to the Death Island for training. It's called training, but it's actually a massacre. You are a high school student who does whatever it takes to survive and treats human life as worthless. The truth and morality in your heart are gone. The Shadow Club will turn you into a knife, with only orders but no feelings. Is such a place worthy of being called a home? Isn't what I gave you a home? In Weilan Garden, there is Aunt Zhao who cares about you, a housekeeper who accompanies you, and a group of servants who like you. There are also peacocks and cats who can relieve your loneliness. There is no killing or danger in Weilan Garden, only happiness and tranquility. How can Weilan Garden be inferior to the Shadow Club?"

Su Lingzhi was determined and did not let Gu Zhen lead him by the nose. "A place that is as warm as spring and where people care about you will definitely be my home. Just like some things, no matter how good they are, they do not belong to me. Gu Zhen, I didn't want to live before I went to the Shadow Society."

"You've been brainwashed by the Shadow Society!" Gu Zhen was furious, his voice loud enough to wake up the servants who had long been asleep. He held Su Lingzhi's wrist, "When you lost your memory, you slept peacefully every night and rarely had nightmares. But during this period, you have nightmares almost every night. Do you know that? Do you know what you are talking about in your sleep? How can a place that makes you unable to sleep be a home?"

This is the biggest reason why Gu Zhen wants Su Lingzhi to stay away from the Shadow Society.

Although it was the desire for control that was at work, he really didn't want the nightmares of the past to bother Su Lingzhi and trap her every night. Now... his sleeves were still stained with blood.

Su Lingzhi's expression froze slightly, and his body trembled slightly. "I just want to talk to you about the car accident. If you don't want to talk about it, then let's not talk about it."

"You're running away again!" Gu Zhen held her wrist tightly, not allowing her to escape. "Su Lingzhi, even though I'm sick, I won't hurt you, nor will I order you to kill anyone. I won't treat you like a knife. Do you understand?"

"That's enough!" Su Lingzhi's eyes were slightly red. This conversation was destined to end unpleasantly. "I don't want to listen. You have to quarrel with me in the middle of the night, right?"

Su Lingzhi broke free from him and walked upstairs. Endless anger welled up in Gu Zhen's heart. Why did he give up halfway and fail to completely destroy the Shadow Society?

Now, he once again wanted to kill the Shadow Society.

This time, the murderous intent has nothing to do with hatred.
