Chapter 1014: Chapter 1014: I Am the Real One

Old Liu furrowed his brow, opened his mouth to speak, but didn’t know what to say, so he just stood there blankly, his face full of confusion.

At this moment, Da Hei in the pigpen suddenly looked up and saw Old Liu — a partner he had fought alongside many times.

Da Hei’s eyes instantly brightened, as if he had seen the last straw to save his life. He waved his hands desperately, letting out a hoarse shout: "Old Liu! Save me! Quick, save me!"

Da Hei’s voice was filled with fear and despair, his pained expression and battered appearance all revealed the tragic situation he was in.

The muddy filth had long covered his face, making it unrecognizable, but those pleading eyes were still clearly visible.

Da Hei shouted with almost all his strength, and his voice, due to continuous struggle, sounded particularly haunting, as if trying to awaken the brotherhood within Old Liu’s heart.

The man heard the miserable cries for help from Da Hei in the pigpen, and the confusion in his heart intensified.

His gaze moved back and forth between Da Hei in the pigpen and the "Ye Qingchen" standing in front of him, unable to believe any of it.

At this moment, his brain had stopped thinking, leaving only one thought swirling — which one is the real Da Hei? Or is everything in front of him an illusion?

"Old Liu, don’t just stand there! Quick, save me!" Da Hei continued to struggle painfully in the pigpen, his voice becoming more desperate.

As Da Hei’s cries for help continued, Old Liu’s furrowed brow tightened further, realizing the situation was far from the simplicity he imagined.

A sly glint flickered in Ye Qingchen’s eyes as he quickly formulated a countermeasure in his mind.

He took a deep breath, instantly suppressing the previous trace of a smug smile, replacing it with an angry and serious expression.

He deliberately lowered his voice, with a hint of anger and tension, as if genuinely feeling angry and uneasy about the situation before him.

"Old Liu," Ye Qingchen said in a deep voice, his tone revealing a repressed anger, "You need to open your eyes and see clearly, this is no ordinary person inside, but a serious criminal that Young Master Chen instructed us to guard! This person is very cunning, who knows what demon art he’s used to disguise as me, even I was startled. You mustn’t be fooled by him!"

Ye Qingchen’s voice was deep and powerful, each word seemed to strike at Old Liu’s heart.

He intentionally lowered his voice further, making it more intimidating, as if afraid that any louder sound would give the "impostor" an opportunity.

At the same time, he kept his gaze on Old Liu, with an expression that showed intolerable anger, as if truly infuriated by the situation at hand.

To increase persuasiveness, Ye Qingchen deliberately furrowed his brows, his eyes flashing with anxiety and annoyance.

He clenched his fists tightly, as if ready to act at any moment and harshly punish the "impostor".

The aura of his entire being instantly became fierce and heavy, as if suppressing the rage within, waiting for the right opportunity to counterattack.

"Look at his sorry state!" Ye Qingchen continued, his voice full of contempt, "If our young master hadn’t prepared in advance to capture him, who knows what terrible deeds he would have done. Don’t be deceived by his appearance, or we’ll all be punished!"

Ye Qingchen’s performance was flawless, each of his words carried a certainty and authority that left no room for doubt.

His expression, tone, and body language all emphasized his credibility, completely disguising himself as the Da Hei being "impersonated".

In addition, his understanding of Da Hei’s usual habits made his disguise even more realistic and hard to differentiate.

Listening to Ye Qingchen’s words, Old Liu’s bewildered expression gradually eased.

The doubt in his heart hadn’t completely dissipated, but Ye Qingchen’s words clearly moved him.

He furrowed his brow slightly, a hint of hesitation in his eyes, beginning to reassess the situation before him.

"Can it really be this cunning?" Old Liu murmured to himself, his gaze shifting between Ye Qingchen and Da Hei in the pigpen. Though still harboring doubt about Da Hei in the pigpen, Ye Qingchen’s words and actions undeniably inclined him to believe this man before him.

He slowly nodded, seemingly convincing himself to accept everything.

Ye Qingchen chuckled inwardly, knowing he had successfully planted a seed of doubt.

He gently exhaled, but maintained his angry and serious demeanor, quietly awaiting Old Liu’s reaction.

In the pigpen, Da Hei struggled frantically, shouting loudly, his voice filled with despair and anger. The filthy and harsh environment of the filthy pigpen exacerbated his suffering, yet he desperately pleaded with Old Liu for help, as if clutching the last straw to save his life.

Outside the pigpen, Old Liu stood rooted, his brows deeply furrowed, replaying Ye Qingchen’s earlier words in his mind. His gaze kept moving between Da Hei in the pigpen and the "Ye Qingchen" before him, with growing doubt in his heart.

Suddenly, Old Liu’s gaze shifted to Xiao Xiao standing behind Ye Qingchen.

Although she appeared very quiet with her eyes lowered, her presence instilled an inexplicable unease in Old Liu. In his mind, Young Master Chen’s previous instructions instantly resurfaced: "Make sure to guard those two serious criminals closely, don’t let them have any chance to escape!"

Old Liu was suddenly startled, his doubts instantly surfacing.

His gaze sharpened as he spoke coldly, "Wait a minute! Young Master Chen clearly instructed us to guard a male and a female criminal. If your words are true, that the one inside is impersonating you, then why is this woman still standing outside?"

Upon saying this, Old Liu’s voice became more severe, tinged with suspicion and vigilance.

At this moment, his gaze was as sharp as a knife, fixating tightly on Ye Qingchen and Xiao Xiao, as if trying to discern any flaw from their expressions.

His hands were already clenched into fists, and the spiritual power within him subtly circulated, preparing to respond to any sudden situation.

Old Liu’s questioning suddenly caused the atmosphere to tense, an oppressive feeling permeating the air.

Ye Qingchen’s heart sank, knowing he must quickly devise a strategy, or their identities would be exposed.

He continued to maintain his calm expression, thinking quickly in his heart, while Xiao Xiao also grew nervous, her eyes flickering slightly, yet she remained poised.

Old Liu’s intuition told him that things were not simple.

His brow furrowed even tighter, as if detecting a scent of conspiracy. His spiritual power flowed within him, ready to attack at any moment, while his sharp gaze remained fixed on Ye Qingchen, waiting for his explanation.

"Who should I trust?" Old Liu struggled internally, but he was more inclined to trust his eyes and intuition. After all, the earlier doubts were too apparent to ignore.
