Chapter 84 Forced Confession
"Speak up," Su Chen slapped his hands and casually sat down on the ground, "Although I'm really annoyed, I still act reasonably. Since you are going to talk today, I'll let you off the hook."
Act reasonably? You call this reasonable?
Cao Kun almost passed out again upon hearing this, not from pain but from anger!
Although he thought so, Cao Kun didn't dare to show any of it. He endured the severe pain and said:
"I'm sorry, today's incident was indeed premeditated by me. I wanted to provoke you into making a move so that I could take advantage and drive you out."
When the crowd heard Cao Kun's words, they were immediately in an uproar. It turned out the situation was exactly as Su Chen had described—it really was Cao Kun's scheme!
The crowd, who had initially felt some sympathy for Cao Kun's tragic situation and had some complaints against Su Chen, now looked at Cao Kun with disdain.
"Why?"
Su Chen asked as if having a heart-to-heart, showing no signs that he had just committed those heinous acts.
"Because, because President Lin and Director Xia always specifically ask for you to drive, and I was worried that once you become familiar with them, a casual word from you would threaten my position."
Cao Kun revealed his intentions without reservation, and the crowd finally understood why he had done what he did.
After speaking, Cao Kun seemed deflated. He knew that his position as deputy director was definitely gone.
Forget deputy director, even remaining as a regular employee seemed doubtful.
"I've said everything, can you let me go now?"
Cao Kun gritted his teeth and spat out the words, his heart full of resentment towards Su Chen!
"Wait," Su Chen waved his hand, "No rush."
"I've already confessed everything. What more do you want?"
Cao Kun couldn't help but roar out.
"Just one last question." Su Chen raised a finger and looked at Cao Kun, "With your brain, you couldn't have come up with this plan. I want to know who is really behind this!"
Su Chen knew who it was, but he wanted Cao Kun to say it himself.
Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Cao Kun's face suddenly changed, and instinctively he glanced in a certain direction, only to see a sharp glint shooting his way that chilled his heart!

"I don't understand what you're talking about. This was obviously my own idea, it has nothing to do with anyone else!"
"Is that so?"
Su Chen glanced at him obliquely, his words brief as his hand once again reached for Cao Kun's knee.
"You can't be so unreasonable!"
Cao Kun's body shook as he roared "righteously."
His words naturally had no effect on Su Chen, whose large hand pressed down once again.
Just like before, a clearer sound of bone cracking echoed...
"Ah~~~~"
Cao Kun couldn't endure it anymore; his body uncontrollably began to roll on the ground, his facial features twitching.
"If you're still unwilling to talk, then I don't mind finishing the job I started!"
Su Chen's devilish voice once again echoed in Cao Kun's ears.
"I'll talk, I'll tell you, please just don't hit me again."
Cao Kun said in a broken voice, no longer able to care about anything else, not wanting to experience that kind of pain ever again.
"Su Chen, you're too arrogant!"
Just then, a furious voice resounded, and at the same time, Su Chen felt a gust of wind blow past him from behind.
Zhang Mingyu was very confident in his fighting skills; he had once been a prominent fighter in the military district and had defeated many skilled opponents in the military martial arts competition, winning second place.
Although Su Chen's speed had surprised him earlier, that didn't mean he couldn't be his match.
Moreover, his attack was completely unexpected, a true strike without warning. He believed that even if Su Chen was formidable, he couldn't dodge his well-prepared punch.
It seemed the reality was as he had imagined, at this moment his fist was only two inches away from the back of Su Chen's head, and yet there was no reaction from him; Zhang Mingyu couldn't help but sneer internally.
"So overconfident!"
Right then, Su Chen's expression turned cold, and he grunted.
Just as the fist was about to smash into his head, he slightly tilted his head, narrowly evading Zhang Mingyu's punch. The unstoppable fist brushed past his ear.
Zhang Mingyu was slightly startled, not expecting Su Chen to dodge his deadly strike at the last moment!
Just as he was about to retract his fist, Su Chen suddenly extended a hand and firmly grasped it.
Zhang Mingyu forcefully tried to break free and continue retracting his fist.
But Su Chen was not interested in a contest of strength; instead, he moved forward, pressing against Zhang Mingyu's fist and closing the distance between them.
In an instant, Zhang Mingyu was shocked, and just as he tried to retreat and put some distance between them, he saw Su Chen spin around, pressing his back tightly against him, and then delivered an elbow strike to his chest!
"Hmm!"
Zhang Mingyu grunted in pain, bending over.
Su Chen, of course, didn't miss this opportunity. With a high split, he pressed directly onto Zhang Mingyu's back, pinning him to the ground, swallowing dust.
In a moment, Zhang Mingyu's face turned ominously dark as he struggled to get up, only to be pressed down heavily by Su Chen's weight as he tried to lift up a bit.
Zhang Mingyu, unwilling to give in, exerted all his strength, trying to flip Su Chen over, but no matter how hard he pushed, Su Chen sat immovably on his back like a great mountain.
Zhang Mingyu had never suffered such humiliation; his face turned so dark it seemed water might drip from it, his eyes emitting a terrifying fierceness, yet with Su Chen sitting on his back, he couldn't see his glare.
Even if Su Chen had seen it, he wouldn't have cared!
The rage of ants is powerless against an elephant!
The onlookers were stunned by this scene; they didn't know Su Chen's background, but they did know Zhang Mingyu's prowess.
Seeing Zhang Mingyu completely subdued without resistance in just one round made them all the more wary of Su Chen.
Such a person was beyond their capacity to provoke!
The crowd secretly rejoiced that they hadn't conflicted with him earlier!
"Minister Zhang, can't hold on any longer, can you?" Su Chen sat on his back and smiled slightly, "I thought you could keep enduring it!"
"Su Chen, don't push people too far!"
Zhang Mingyu gritted his teeth, overwhelmed by a tremendous sense of shame!
"Pushing too far?" Su Chen burst into cold laughter upon hearing Zhang Mingyu's words, "Who is really pushing too far?"
"Cao Kun, aren't you going to speak?"
Su Chen glanced at Cao Kun, who seemed a bit dumbfounded, and snorted.
"I'll talk, I'll talk, I'll tell everything."
Cao Kun's voice grew quieter, his head hung low, resigned...
