Chapter 151: Two Kings Face Off
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Su Huiqing left after receiving that call.
Her expression was grim when she turned to leave.
Yu Shijin was still sitting on the sofa. He put down the newspapers.
After being deep in thought for a second, he called Chu Xuning on the phone. "Where are you guys?"
"Master Yu, chief detective, the men and I are all guarding the borders of Green City. Our intelligence network detected that there were several groups of unidentified persons who had arrived at Green City. They all came from the International Association." Chu Xuning reported succinctly. "I have already sent you the details."
Yu Shijin's eyes hardened. He stood up and instructed as he headed outside. "Have everyone gathered at the military base. I am going over now."
He strode out the door after exchanging some greetings with Uncle Chen.
The information sent over by Chu Xuning was already on his cell phone.
After reading through it, his lowered eyes were sharp and hostile.
He put on his bluetooth earpiece and started the car.
"They also switched my grandpa's medication." Chu Xuning took a deep breath. "Master Yu, who the hell are these people?!"
For the first time in so many years, Chu Xuning felt useless and vulnerable.
Green City would be ravaged if they didn't have Yu Shijin.
"Who are these people?" Yu Shijin gave a vicious laugh as he steered the car onto the highway. "They are just some folks who think that I am not in Green City, and so they can create havoc here."
Unfortunately, those people never expected him to return so soon.
The weather today was not too good.
It was still sunny in the morning but started raining in the afternoon, a drizzle gradually turning into a downpour.
Su Huiqing sent a message to Yu Xiangyang: Hurry home now.
Today was Grandpa Yu's birthday. Yu Xiangyang was sent by her to handle the military firearms with Su Chu. According to her estimates, he should be able to rush back by midday.
However, Su Huiqing received a phone call from the Yu Family that Grandpa Yu was missing!
Silence fell across the crowd.
Su Huiqing opened the car door.
The Su Family escort guards-half of them went with Su Chu to settle the military firearms, while the other half followed her here.
Gu Li and Qu Yan also rushed over on receiving the news.
A person held a black umbrella over her head.
It was supposed to be a joyous birthday celebration for the Yu Family, but the guest-of-honor Grandpa Yu was missing. All that was left behind was a puddle of blood and a dagger in the study. Everything had descended in chaos.
Someone had gone to the study to film a video for the occasion, only to discover the terrible scene.
The Yu Family was in a complete fluster and failed to control the crowd.
Su Huiqing brought over a bunch of people to manage the situation.
The guests were all people in positions of high power, and would never stand for being rounded up in this manner.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you try to stop me?" One person bustled forward arrogantly, trying to force his way out.
Su Huiqing lifted her eyes. Her usual nonchalance was nowhere in sight, instead her face was cold and stony.
She didn't have time to waste explaining, and so just drew out a weapon from her pocket and pointed the gun straight at the person's temple. "Be obedient if you wish to live."
Following that, the escort guards who had come with her all drew out their weapons.
The firearms were those she had traded with Apollo.
"Today is a joyous celebration so I don't wish to see any blood. The Su Family will personally apologize after the investigation is completed." She put down her weapon when she saw that the person had backed down.
She then turned and glanced at Father Yu. "Lead me upstairs."
It was broad daylight. How did Grandpa Yu disappear?
There was no way Su Huiqing would believe there was no treachery involved.
Upstairs in the study.
Su Huiqing surveyed the room. It was in a complete mess. She saw the dagger driven all the way into the wall.
"Has anyone touched this?" Su Huiqing looked at Father Yu.
Su Huiqing was still a fresh and youthful high school student the previous time she visited the Yu Family residence.
This time, she had morphed into a fiercely capable female mercenary. Father Yu was beyond shocked. "No, I didn't allow anyone to enter."
Su Huiqing nodded. She reached out and easily plucked the dagger from the wall.
There was a piece of paper attached to the dagger.
Su Huiqing opened it and read the note with lowered eyes. She then pulled her hood over her head and shoved her hands into her pockets. "You guys wait here. We will go find Grandpa Yu."
Just as they prepared to leave, Yu Xiangyang rushed up the stairs.
Father Yu wanted to ask what could this bunch of half-grown kids do?
But before he could say anything, he saw Yu Xiangyang easily leaping off from the second floor onto the first, before agilely hopping into Su Huiqing's car. His smooth and athletic movements were completely different from the son he knew.
He then turned and observed the few escort guards whom Su Huiqing had left behind. They each wielded a long-barreled gun, keeping everyone in the hall firmly in check.
They looked extremely confident and formidable.
Su Huiqing distributed communication devices to her men, before putting on her own earpiece.
Very early on, Grandpa Yu had revealed the link between the Yu Family and the International Association.
Ever since, she had been making the necessary preparations-firearms, the escort guards, as well as enhancing the powers of Yu Xiangyang and the gang.
But things had developed faster than she expected.
"Qingqing, which family from the International Association are we fighting against this time?" Qu Yan asked gravely.
Su Huiqing gazed at the rain on the other side of the car window. Her brows were straight and resolute. "It's not just one particular family."
That's right. Apart from the family who had been targeting the Yu Family, there was also Yu Shijin.
Su Huiqing didn't know what role would Yu Shijin play in this situation.
But she would never let off the bunch of people who had kidnapped Grandpa Yu. She would never just hand off those folks to Yu Shijin or the International Association.
He had to consider Green City and the International Association, while she only cared about the Yu Family.
It was inevitable the two of them would be standing on opposing sides this time.
So she had no choice but to face off Yu Shijin.
The car arrived at their destination.
Su Huiqing tugged at her hood and alighted.
The black umbrella opened above her head, sending a flurry of water droplets to the surroundings.
Yu Shijin didn't know what Su Huiqing was thinking about now. He narrowed his eyes on the chief detective. "Did you say that national route 13 suddenly collapsed?
Chief detective nodded.
Yu Shijin didn't speak again, but just watched the video footage sent over.
From the image of that wreckage, it was clearly not caused by any natural disaster.
No matter how he looked at it, the style of the destruction looked somewhat familiar.
Yu Shijin lowered his eyes as his long finger swipe the screen. After a moment, he suddenly chuckled.
Inside the International Association, nearly everyone bemoaned the fact that it was impossible to have two mighty leaders coexisting peacefully.
But unexpectedly, these two kings would be facing off for the first time-under another identity and another method.
Chapter 152: Fifteen, be careful!
"Superintendent Hong just relayed the news that Old Mr. Yu had gone missing." Chu Xuning pressed the earpiece in her ear. Then, she turned back and pointed her finger at a point on the map. "The people from the international association should be at this position now."
It was currently noon, but the rain was pouring.
The sky was gloomy.
In such weather, Yu Shijin's face could not be seen clearly. He reached out and took over the piece of paper. "No wonder," he said in a low voice.
No wonder she would suddenly disregard any potential danger and interfere in this matter.
"Inform everybody to go there." Yu Shijin pointed at another location, before folding the map and keeping it into his pocket.
Everybody, including Chu Xuning, could not understand why Yu Shijin chose a completely opposite direction on the map.
Only Yu Shijin clearly understood that the Number One Mercenary was able to attain her title solely due to the strength she possessed.
It was actually easy to recognise her style- people ended up being grateful to her even if they were ruined by her hands.
An example would be those of the Zhang family. Despite falling into her trap, everybody ended up only remembering the good side of her.
"Master Yu, the people from Ye Family of the international association, is looking for you." The chief detective handed over the phone.
Yu Shijin lowered his gaze and placed his hands into his pockets before turning his head calmly. There was no trace of emotion in his eyes as he said, "Why?"
The chief detective remained silent for a while, before speaking up. "They need you to look after a few people from Ye Family in Green City."
"Look after?" Yu Shijin raised his eyes and said slowly, "Sure, only if they don't cross the line."
The chief detective had already hung up the call.
He could not resist and asked, "Master Yu, what do you mean by not crossing the line?"
Yu Shijin sat in the back seat and slowly turned his gaze out of the window. His eyes were completely cold as he said, "By staying away from me."
Su Huiqing knew that she could not hide it from Yu Shijin.
As such, she searched for the group of people who took Old Mr. Yu at top speed.
Now, they found Old Mr. Yu. Those that had taken him away were a group of men in long black robes.
Yu Xiangyang took a step forward from behind Su Huiqing. He had already seen Old Mr. Yu who was being surrounded by the few men in black robes.
He immediately rushed forward, his eyes red with anger, and delivered a swift blow. "Who are you people? Release my grandfather!"
Qu Yan and Gu Li rolled up their sleeves without a second thought.
Su Huiqing stood still and carefully analysed the men in black robes.
The middle-aged man in black robe casually waved his sleeves and pushed Yu Xiangyang away.
He then put his hands together and smiled. "You are not worthy of knowing who I am. You just need to know one thing. Your status is far beneath that of our lady. She became a junior potion maker when she was just sixteen years old. There are countless geniuses yearning for her. Trash like you are not qualified."
This was the first time Yu Xiangyang felt so tiny.
He felt cornered even though these people have not made a move!
When Qu Yan and Gu Li met Tao Zhuo yesterday, he already felt that he was too weak. Who knew that he would receive an even bigger blow today.
"Old Mr. Yu, be wise and hand over the jade. I will let your grandson live then." The man in black robe lowered his eyes towards Old Mr. Yu, his palm already on top of his skull.
Yu Xiangyang could not say anything and was swept around brutally by the man in black rode.He then got up over and over again.
Su Huiqing's gaze deepened. From her earpiece came Superintendent Hong's voice, saying, "Miss Su, we've already found Master Yu."
"It's about time." Su Huiqing narrowed her eyes and said coldly. "Do this first..."
After making arrangements for the matters regarding Yu Shijin, she finally raised her eyes to look at Yu Xiangyang and the others.
At this moment, the man in black robe had his hand wrapped tightly around Yu Xiangyang's neck. "You are pretty resilient. What a shame, you are not smart enough. You won't amount to anything. Old Mr. Yu, your grandson's life is in my hands..."
Before he could finish, three words cut him off. "You are wrong."
When he turned around, all he saw was an afterimage flying by!
Su Huiqing raised her leg and kicked his hand away.
He flew 3 meters away from the impact.
Her hands were still in her pockets as she tilted her head to look at them. Her clear eyes were filled with bloodlust. "The lives of my people are naturally under my control. Who are you to meddle?"
The pupils of the man in black robe shrank. She was way too fast.
However, he could not feel any energy coming from Su Huiqing's body. "Let me warn you. My family's business is something you can't afford to mess with."
"Can't afford to mess with?" Su Huiqing smirked. "Aren't you guys just Ye Family from the International Association. Speaking of that, how is Ye Bin doing?"
The man was finally stunned.
Ye Bin, an elder of Ye Family, was one of the few elite potion makers in the International Association.
Even in the Ye Family, only a few people know of the name Ye Bin. At this moment, how was this random brat able to say out this name?
"Let me give you advice," Su Huiqing said as she fished out a mini controller from her pocket. Before she pressed the button, she smiled and continued, "Don't bully the weak."
With that, she pressed the button.
Peng-
The few men in black robes immediately fell to the ground with a loud boom.
Su Huiqing knew that her current strength was far from her peak. It would be too difficult for her to handle all these people while protecting three people.
As such, she had already buried explosives before Yu Xiangyang went up against these men.
The most skillful method of using explosives was not to blow up an island using bombs that were only strong enough to destroy a house.
It was to control people directly with mini explosives.
After the few men passed out, Su Huiqing pursed her lips and kneeled down. She reached out her hand to check Old Mr. Yu's pulse.
She then lowered her eyes.
Old Mr. Yu was currently looking pretty well. He did not look at Yu Xiangyang, but directly at Su Huiqing as he said, "Miss Su, you saved my life. Those people were from the Ye Family. Ten years ago, they killed Xiangyang's mother. Today, they won't just give up..."
Old Mr. Yu gave Su Huiqing a blood jade with trembling hands.
Su Huiqing received it.
Then, she stood up. "Xiangyang, carry your grandfather out."
Right now, she did not have any needles or potions with her. There was nothing she could do even with her medical knowledge.
Yu Xiangyang wiped his face and immediately carried him out.
The rain was pouring even heavier outside.
The Ye Family would not have sent just these few people. When they exited the place, their car was already surrounded by men in black robes.
Su Huiqing's eyes turned cold and the raindrops around her spun at high speed, flying directly at those men.
Empress Su who was sitting idly in the car finally noticed that something was going on with its owner.
Red light flashed across its eyes, and it immediately jumped out. It pounded directly at those people hostilely with its sharp claws.
Finally, it rested on Su Huiqing's shoulder.
Su Huiqing said nothing and merely bent down, then looked at Yu Xiangyang.
Yu Xiangyang did not say anything. He could feel that his grandfather's heartbeat had already stopped.
Slowly, he placed him onto the ground. It was unclear if the water on his face was his tears or the rain.
After a while, he knelt onto the ground. "I, Yu Xiangyang, swear today that from today onwards, I will kill the Ye Family from the International Association!"
Boom!
Following his cry, a bolt purple lightning flashed across the sky!
It was winter, yet there was lightning.
Su Huiqing wiped away the rain on her face expressionlessly.
Just then, Yu Shijin's black car arrived. He opened the door and exited.
The instant he saw Su Huiqing, his calm expression changed. "Fifteen, be careful!"
Chapter 153: No one is allowed to go
Su Huiqing knew that she could not stall Yu Shijin for long.
But she never expected him to arrive so early.
He really was a worthy opponent.
It was Yu Shijin's words that really stunned Su Huiqing.
Fifteen.
Her former code name was fifteen.
Not much was known about the existence of this code name.
Su Huiqing was so surprised that she lifted her chin slightly to look at Yu Shijin, the rainwater sliding down her chin.
Even if she was a little embarrassed, she was still very calm.
It was precisely because of this momentary shock that she missed the best timing to dodge the hidden weapons.
She tried very hard to recall something, but at this moment, she only felt thousands of silver needles piercing into her mind, Then she suddenly fell to the ground without warning.
Gu Li and Qu Yan, who were closest to her, finally reacted, reaching out to catch Su Huiqing.
But an unexpected pair of hands caught her first.
Yu Shijin's dark pupils contracted.
There was an unconcealed panic in his eyes.
He steadily caught Su Huiqing, the rain slowly flowing down his hair. His pair of dark eyes has never been deeper than this.
The chief detective silently opened the black umbrella and held it above the two of them.
There was no doubt worry was in his eyes.
At this moment he finally understood what Yu Shijin's "not crossing the line" meant.
There was only one bottom line for this person.
Yu Shijin raised his eyes to look at a place, his thin lips curled up, but there was no smile, only an endless cold in his eyes, "Chu Xuning, go and bring the people there to me."
Before Chu Xuning could go, Bai Yi brought the group of people over.
Yu Shijin was not surprised by the appearance of these people at all.
He had long known for quite long that the most terrifying group of people in the International Association were gathered in Green City.
What he regretted the most now was not sending them all back the first day they came over.
Yu Shijin stretched out his hand and slowly wiped the blood from Su Huiqing's arm, then raised his eyes sternly, "Who fired the gun?"
Boom!
Thunder sounded above his head.
The person on the left of Bai Yi stood up straight, "It's me."
The bloodlust in Yu Shijin's eyes grew stronger.
"Master Yu, the weapon has no eyes. All we wanted was this fox, who accidentally injured this young lady. I will make amends on behalf of my subordinates." Bai Yi spoke indifferently as he fastened the baseball cap on top of his head, his eyes drooping.
He admitted that the mistake was on their part, but it was Empress Su, he must get his hands on her.
Because of Bai Yi's position in the international association, even the Big Three dared not go against him.
It was just that Yu Shijin could not think straight now.
He took out his crossbow with one hand, put an arrow on the string, and let it go neatly.
The slender arrow split into two and shot right into both shoulders of the man standing on the left of Bai Yi.
The smell of blood mixed with the smell of dust dispersed into the air along with the rain.
Bai Yi did not expect Yu Shijin to be so cold and direct. His complexion changed a little, and he focused his gaze on Su Huiqing's face, as if he wanted to see who could make Yu Shijin act this way.
"I want the fox, as long as you have the ability to catch it. This matter is not over yet." Yu Shijin ignored him, turned around, and walked towards the black car with Su Huiqing in his arms.
Yu Xiangyang and others still stood in their places.
Gu Li knew that Su Huiqing was safe by Yu Shijin's side. He just got up and finished dealing with Grandpa Yu's affairs.
Then he calmly ordered the Su family guards who rushed over to bring those people from the Ye family back to the International Association.
Even if Su Huiqing was not there, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.
Compared to a few months ago, they have grown so much.
Seeing their well-trained figure, Chu Xuning and others were somewhat surprised.
-
Yu Shijin took Su Huiqing back to the villa.
His personal doctor followed him.
"How is she?" He raised his eyebrows and stood by the bed watching the doctor bandaging Su Huiqing up.
The personal doctor let go of his hand, "Ms. Su's external injury is not a major problem, but her brain has been stimulated... she is somewhat emotionally unstable."
"I see." Yu Shijin's eyes sank.
The person lying on the bed had a pale face, cold sweat on her forehead, and even though she was asleep, her eyebrows were curled and she looked very restless.
The doctor had already left, and only Yu Shijin remained in the room.
Almost no one could imagine that Su Huiqing, who has always seemed cold and strong, would have such a side.
Yu Shijin dragged a chair to the bed, held her palm, and looked at her with sunken eyes.
There was only distress in his eyes.
How can he not feel bad?
Why should she bear all this?
There were some memories that were too painful to think of, just thinking about was like being cut into pieces by a blade.
He also compromised, but it was useless.
"When you left, I told you not to look back, I let go, and you did just that," Yu Shijin inserted his fingers one by one between her fingers, clasping their hands together, his eyes dark, "but I regret it."
Don't laugh at me,
I'm afraid I won't have it later on,
and I can't forget it either.
However, even if he did not look back, he could not forget, his life was a bet.
It was only until late at night that Su Huiqing's condition slowly stabilized.
Yu Shijin let the chief detective in and said softly, "Go and watch the Ye family."
"Ye Family?" The chief detective frowned slightly.
He also knew that the Ye family was the first family to get into medicinal materials, and there was a senior alchemist who was in charge. Hence, it was difficult to make a move on them.
"Watch well." Yu Shijin lowered his eyes, with only two words, he conveyed the coldness in his eyes.
The chief detective was startled, and then finally responded and went out.
But the cold air around Yu Shijin's body has not dissipated yet.
He picked up a cigarette, the black lighter was already lit up with a blue flame. As soon as the cigarette was lit, he pinched it out again.
Yu Shijin threw the cigarette away, then stood up, took out his mobile phone and made a phone call.
He looked down, his side profile was very noble and stern.
"Grandpa, I promise you... take over the Yu family."
The voice on the other end of the phone was slightly old and frail, but he could not hide his excitement, "You left so decisively in the beginning, are you sure you want to come back?"
Yu Shijin raised his eyes to look at Su Huiqing, and slowly said, "Yes, give me two weeks to deal with something."
He held the phone, his long eyelashes drooping slightly, trying hard to restrain the hostility in his eyes.
He left the International Association for her initially, and now he was going back for the same person.
"Okay, but now there is something you should handle by yourself, it is regarding the Dugu family." The voice came on the phone again.
"The vice chief detective is still in the International Association. If you have anything, please go to him directly." Yu Shijin frowned his eyebrows and said in a cold tone, "As for the Dugu family, don't worry about them."
International Association, Yu Family.
The Dugu Family matriarch turned the Buddhist beads in her hand and sat in the hall of the Yu House.
Beside her, stood Dugu Wu with a cold face.
Du Guwu had always looked down on the obscure juniors of the Yu family, let alone Yu Shijin who did not give her respect.
"A Yu family member who came back halfway dared to insult the only lady of our Dugu family ," Dugu Family matriarch closed her eyes halfway, which were filled with mockery, "If your Yu family still wants the support of our Dugu family, let him come back and kneel down in apology to Awu sincerely."
The most important thing for big families was face.
As one of the three giants, how could the Dugu family let a mere junior who had just returned to Yu family humiliate Dugu's eldest lady.
The Dugu Family matriarch was not stupid either.
She picked up a persimmon softly, she understood this truth.
In her eyes, Yu Shijin was just a runaway who went back home halfway, an insignificant person. The Yu family would not fall out with the Dugu family because of such a person.
That was why she had no fear.
She was done speaking.
Yu Family's master just pondered for a while, then waved his hand with a blank face letting the vice chief detective behind him directly contact Yu Shijin, as he looked at the Dugu Family matriarch earnestly.
He used a video phone.
On the screen, Yu Shijin's slender figure was projected into the hall, matching his handsome eyebrows.
This was also the first time that Yu Shijin has really been exposed to people other than the Yu family.
With one hand in his pocket, he looked at the camera obliquely, even though he was separated from them by thousands of miles, he could feel the cold air lingering around him.
Su Huiqing had not woken up yet, and the people from Dugu family were now bothering him again.
"Kneel down?" Yu Shijin raised his eyes and said each word slowly, "Dugu Family matriarch, I haven't asked you to count the last time you intervened in the entertainment circles in Green City. It just so happened that this time, we will count everything all at once and make our scores clear."
His pair of eyes were dull and unclear.
"Close the door and don't let any of them go." He spit out solemnly to the screen.
Chapter 154: If He Could Tell, Bai Yi Naturally Could Too
The vice chief detective and the rest immediately whipped out their weapons and closed the door violently.
The others split, stood on both of his sides, whipped out their weapons, and pointed the pitch-black muzzles directly at the people in the Dugu Family.
This was the first time the people in the Dugu Family saw Yu Shijin.
Including Dugu Wu.
Everyone in the Dugu Family didn't expect such biting cold aura, which couldn't be concealed by the screen, from the mediocre person in their eyes.
Such majestic disposition was far and few between even in the entire International Association.
The Dugu Family matriarch, seeing that after Yu Shijin appeared, even the head of the Yu Family walked down from the sovereign seat, humbly stood aside.
Her heart shook in fear, and she instinctively tightened her grip on the prayer beads in her hands.
Especially the chain of criminal evidence listed by Yu Shijin.
She panicked slightly and suddenly looked towards Yu Shijin with an arrogance that couldn't be concealed on her aged face. "Outrageous!"
Yu Shijin ignored the Dugu Family matriarch, tidied his coat, and spoke directly to the vice chief detective. "I'll get Xuning to send you the evidence. I need Mr. Dugu to give me an explanation."
Upon hearing Mr. Dugu's name, the Dugu Family matriarch and Dugu Wu got scared.
Yu Shijin ignored everyone's gazes as he mildly reached out and disconnected the call.
That handsome and cold face instantly disappeared, and the entire hall's atmosphere also warmed up as a result.
"Hang on, that person actually dared to treat me like this..." The Dugu Family matriarch still wanted to say something.
The head of the Yu Family interrupted him directly and said in a deep voice, "Old madam, I'll give you a piece of advice. The person that all of you said had been brought back to the Yu Family along the way is the only owner recognized by the purple-tint orchid badge in hundreds of years."
The words stopped short of coming out of the Dugu Family matriarch's mouth.
The vice chief detective waved his hand slightly impatiently and the people around him transited into a single file in a fluid motion.
Everyone had an aura that could kill.
The vice chief detective spun the gun in his hand casually and smiled in an evil manner. "Dugu Family matriarch, Miss Dugu, I'll advise you to not resist. What do you think?"
After the people from the Dugu Family had been brought away.
Only then did the vice chief detective stuff his gun calmly back into his pocket, look down, and send a message to Green City. "How's Miss Su?"
-
When Su Huiqing next opened her eyes, it was already the following afternoon.
The first thing she saw was those deep-set eyes of Yu Shijin.
He was looking on intently and finally felt relieved upon seeing her open her eyes.
The fatigue from the past few days also set in suddenly. His under-eye areas were both dark green.
Su Huiqing pouted her lips, lifted the blanket off her body, suddenly thought of something, and lifted her head abruptly. "Where's Grandpa Yu?"
Yu Shijin's hand paused for half a second before he looked up with his gorgeous eyes. "Today is his funeral."
This wasn't unexpected.
However, it wasn't expected to come so soon.
A celebratory event turned into a mourning event-this was the worst thing that Su Huiqing had met since her rebirth.
She was wearing a black jacket and holding an umbrella as she walked to the cemetery.
Yu Xiangyang knelt beside the tomb without moving. Qu Yan and Gu Li were holding umbrellas for him.
Within a short few days, these three people seemed to have grown a lot.
"Don't worry, I definitely won't disappoint you." Yu Xiangyang gave a hard kowtow.
It was the first time he knew about the Ye Family in the International Association, that he even had a marriage arrangement with that Missy of the Ye Family, and that his mother, grandfather, and other people in his clan had all lost their lives because of this.
For the Ye Family, killing these people was effortless.
As that person from the Ye Family said, the Yu Family wasn't fit to be compared to the Ye Family.
And he totally couldn't match up to that Missy of the Ye Family.
He wasn't even fit to seek revenge.
Yu Xiangyang held his hands tightly into fists and sank his fingers deep into his palms with a deep look in his eyes.
He had never felt a greater need to get stronger.
It was also from this moment that the look of unruliness disappeared from Yu Xiangyang's face, in exchange for a tinge of steadiness, as he worked on his cultivation tirelessly for days and nights.
Su Huiqing spent these few days cultivating a high-level potion.
The ingredients here included those from Director Lu and Grandpa Yu.
She divided the cultivated potion into a few portions.
One portion was saved for Yu Xiangyang and the bunch of people for their cultivation, and she wanted to get Chi Qing to send a portion to the main intelligence network.
Just when she took out her phone and was about to contact Chi Qing, she suddenly received a call from Angie.
Su Huiqing squinted her eyes slightly, pressed a button on the phone, and sent a message to Chi Qing. "Make time to make a trip here. I have something for you to bring to the International Association."
Only then did she take her coat and got the chauffeur to drive the car to Angie's house.
At the same time.
Yu Shijin was flipping through Green City's dispatch information.
Chu Xuning knocked on the door and came in. "Master Yu, we found out that Bai Yi appeared near Angie's house."
"Bai Yi?" Yu Shijin leaned back in his chair, squinted his cold eyes slightly, reached out, and tapped on the table.
Bai Yi appeared at this time and venue in Green City-this wasn't right.
He had stayed for so many days and still wasn't leaving.
Unless there was something he wanted or someone he wanted to look for in Green City...
Yu Shijin's fingers stumped slightly. His style was very distinct.
If he could tell, Bai Yi naturally would be able to as well.
And the thing in Green City that could pique the interest of the top international police officer...
Could only be... Su Huiqing's identity.
Yu Shijin got up abruptly, looked down, did his buttons, and said in a deep voice, "Give me the address."
Chapter 155: Some Journeys Are Meant to Be Taken Alone
Angie's house had an overall dark theme.
Aptly matching the feeling that Angie personally gave to others.
When she arrived, Angie had tied herself up to overcome her drug addiction.
Su Huiqing saw that she was in too much suffering and simply knocked her out with a blow.
When Angie woke up again, it was already afternoon.
"You're the first person to come to my house." Angie changed a shirt and came out. She had wanted to pour a glass of wine for Su Huiqing, but thinking that Su Huiqing was still in high school, she changed it to milk.
Su Huiqing took a look at her and said calmly, "Seems like you're quitting very effectively."
Angie was stunned for a while before she laughed softly. "Yup. Thank you for sending me the inhibitors recently."
Inhibitors?
Su Huiqing was momentarily taken aback.
Then she shifted her glance and fixed it on some green chewing gum placed on Angie's table.
It was unlabeled, obviously a customized inhibitor.
Long ago, Su Huiqing had often seen this thing, so she wouldn't get it wrong.
However, she didn't give the inhibitors to Angie. Besides herself, Su Huiqing could only think of Yu Shijin.
In the same vein, Su Huiqing also suddenly thought about that "Fifteen."
These few days, due to Grandpa Yu, she had almost forgotten this matter.
She looked down. A light flashed in her bright eyes.
A couple coincidences were reasonable-any more, they were no longer coincidences.
Angie lit a cigarette, her gorgeous face looking slightly lost. "Miss Su, do you think there's a future for someone like me?"
Su Huiqing took a whiff-this cigarette was normal without additional additives.
She looked towards Angie and squinted her eyes slightly, forming elegant arcs. "Sister Angie, some journeys are meant to be taken alone."
If one didn't even believe himself, who else would?
Angie pouted slightly. From the first time they met, she had already felt that this girl who was younger than her was too profound.
"Miss Su, can you talk about yourself?" She flicked the ash off her cigarette, suddenly feeling full of curiosity towards Su Huiqing.
The other party said that they had similar experiences.
Just what kind of circumstances could result in such a character in Su Huiqing?
The air turned obviously still.
Su Huiqing held her gaze.
Her icy cold fingers were still on the glass of milk.
Angie had regretted it the moment she asked. She opened her mouth, and when she was about to speak, Su Huiqing suddenly looked up.
Those eyes were too chilly and dark.
Even Angie's heart thumped vigorously uncontrollably.
"You've also been treated as an experimental subject, but have you experienced the feeling of having the closest person to you personally send you to the lab?" Su Huiqing looked sideways out the window. The emotions on her face couldn't be seen clearly, and only her words could be heard. "In order to save someone, the other one could only be abandoned. So that person could only overcome her drug-controlled body. She only had herself."
The extent of Su Huiqing's calmness.
Was the magnitude of shock Angie felt.
From the plain statements, Angie felt helplessness instead.
"So, Sister Angie," Su Huiqing retracted her gaze and smiled lazily, "Even if it's for this person, you'll have to push on."
She reached out and pointed to the side of the window.
Angie walked over and saw Ye Zixuan's car.
She pouted slightly, put out her cigarette, and said softly, "Thank you."
-
Angie's house was in the urban district.
Just outside the area was a plaza.
It was almost evening, and the plaza was very crowded.
Yu Shijin parked his car by the roadside and alighted elegantly.
"Disrupt Bai Yi's route." He rested his hand on the car door. Just like this, he looked down and said to the other side of the line plainly, "Conceal Angie's position and find someone to bring her position two rounds around the entire city."
He had never spared any efforts in dealing with Bai Yi.
He hung up the call, looked up, and saw a person selling balloons in the plaza.
There was one last sunflower-shaped balloon left.
He walked over in big strides. The moment he laid his hands on it, a five-year-old girl tugged at his clothes and looked at him with her pitch-black eyes. "Uncle, I saw this balloon first, but I couldn't walk as fast as you."
Yu Shijin's handsome face also darkened. He stood there with a hand in his pocket and looked at the little girl with a calm gaze.
His pitch-black eyes were cold.
This was also the first time that a kid wasn't afraid of the solemn aura on him.
"Sir, you... Do you still want it?" The person selling the balloon asked in a trembling voice.
The little girl's grandmother also arrived. She could tell that Yu Shijin looked not to be trifled with and immediately apologized.
Gazes came on from the surroundings incessantly.
Indeed, Yu Shijin's classy aura stood out from the surroundings like a sore thumb.
Actually, usually in such circumstances, most people would choose to give up the balloon to the child.
However, Yu Shijin didn't say anything.
Looking up, he already saw the figure strolling in from the main entrance.
At this point, the street lamps had already gradually lit up.
She was looking down, and her expression wasn't obvious.
When the neon lights shone on her, it seemed slightly cold.
With a cold face, Yu Shijin retrieved a note and stuffed it into the hand of the person selling the balloons.
Then, he quickly walked up to Su Huiqing and stuffed the balloon into her hand. Only then did he stick both hands into his pocket, looked sideways at the little girl, and said solemnly, "This is for my kid."
Just now, she had actually recalled many memories that she had hidden away.
In the instant when she walked over, Su Huiqing only felt coldness in her heart.
However.
When she saw that exceedingly cheerful sunflower balloon.
It seemed like there were blurry memories being washed out of her mind.
Su Huiqing squinted her eyes but couldn't recall anything.
She suddenly smiled.
Looking sideways at that little girl looking at them with a confused face, Su Huiqing paused for a while, worked up an evil smile, bent sideways, and passed the balloon to her.
Her posture was absolutely cool.
When the little girl said thank you and skipped away.
Only then did she turn around, looked at Yu Shijin, raised her eyebrow, smiled, and said in a low voice, "Brother Yu, let's find somewhere to talk?"
Chapter 156: She Had Already Died Once
Yu Shijin remained silent.
He looked at that little girl smugly walking away with her balloon.
With hands still in his pocket, he looked rather coldly at Su Huiqing. He sounded vaguely annoyed. "What, didn't I recognize the wrong person?"
He was referring to that incident in the private room the other day.
Su Huiqing, "...'"
At this moment, his cell phone rang.
It was Chu Xuning.
Yu Shijin accepted the call and uttered one cold word. "What?"
"Just... just that... just that we have been found out by Bai Yi." Chu Xuning stammered in fright.
Su Huiqing sighed after realizing Yu Shijin was ignoring her. She turned to leave.
Brushing back the fringe on her forehead, the corners of her lips curled up in their usual relaxed manner.
Never mind if he didn't want to say. She could check it out herself.
With one hand holding his cell phone to his ear, Yu Shijin reached out his other hand to grab her wrist.
Su Huiqing gazed at him.
"Throw your cell phone into the lake." Yu Shijin spoke up placidly after making sure that Su Huiqing had stopped. "I have something else to see, so you guys settle things on your own."
Yu Shijin drove both of them to a nearby restaurant.
It was lunchtime and it was very crowded.
The private room was well heated and Yu Shijin had just taken off his jacket when his cell phone rang.
He glanced at the caller ID before calmly rejecting the call.
Su Huiqing surveyed the dishes and was not surprised that it was all her favorite foods.
A strange feeling welled up inside her.
Actually, from the very first time they worked together, she should have already known something was off.
Especially that first time at that base in Green City. Apart from Yu Shijin, there had never been a person who could coordinate with her so perfectly. Not even Chi Qing.
"Why did you call me Fifteen?" Su Huiqing put down her chopsticks and propped up her chin with her hand.
She was asking in a casual manner.
Not knowing how provocative that word was to Yu Shijin.
His eyes instantly dimmed.
His fingers instinctively reached out for a cigarette. Just as he was about to light it up, he suddenly thought of something and tossed the cigarette onto the table.
"Why, haven't you already guessed it?" Yu Shijin sat by the window, surveying the scenery outside with cold indifference. Gravely, he turned and asked, "Let me ask you, does Chi Qing know about this code name?"
"What has this got to do with Chi Qing?" Su Huiqing was momentarily taken aback.
Yu Shijin remained stony-faced, his lips slightly pursed.
His arm was still perched on the back of the chair.
Cool, silent, distant.
Until his cell phone rang again.
This time, he accepted the call but just allowed the person to continue calling. The caller was also very persistent.
"Take the call." Su Huiqing narrowed her eyes.
She felt that unless it was an emergency, no one would dare to keep calling Yu Shijin's phone in this relentless manner.
Yu Shijin shot her a look. Without another word, he walked out the door to take the call.
"I thought you weren't going to pick up my call."
Yu Shijin leaned against the wall and finally lit up his cigarette. He said coolly, "I hadn't planned to."
After a moment of stunned silence, the caller spoke up again. "Master Yu, please hurry back. There's not much time left."
Yu Shijin was still holding his cigarette.
His face remained impassive, his tone neutral. "I can't for the time being."
"You are risking your own life." The voice sounded more stern now.
"I'll head back just a few days later. Things are not that serious." Yu Shijin saw the door to the private room being opened. He extinguished his cigarette and said nonchalantly, "That's all."
Su Huiqing truly felt that Yu Shijin was an exasperating person.
It was the first time she met such an opponent.
It was just too difficult to squeeze out an answer for things which he did not wish to say.
She massaged her temples, feeling the onset of a headache.
After leaving the restaurant, Yu Shijin suddenly came to a halt. He placed the keys in her palm. "I have something on. Help me drive my car back."
Su Huiqing didn't refuse him and wrapped her fingers tightly around the keys. She fell into deep thought as she drove off in his car.
Yu Shijin watched the black car steer off before turning to walk in the other direction.
Not far off, Chi Qing was leaning against the hood of a car. All alone, he cut a lonely figure.
Even his wide sunglasses failed to mask his extraordinary good looks.
Normally placid and affable, Chi Qing looked unusually cold and aloof.
Even though he was a talented superstar actor, he could not mask his own emotions.
"You will leave tomorrow." Yu Shijin glanced at the neon lights shining upon them. He adjusted his coat, his tone mild. "I have already had someone make the arrangements."
Those same words again.
Chi Qing's face turned chilly.
He looked up at Yu Shijin. Hidden behind those sunglasses, his eyes were very grim.
His two hands were wound into tight fists.
He did not want to leave at all. "What if I refuse to go?"
"You are in no position to negotiate with me. Chi Qing, remember that she has already died once." Yu Shijin didn't turn around, but a malevolent smile played at the corners of his lips.
Chi Qing's eyes wavered. He involuntarily took a step back, his face completely drained of color.
Yu Shijin tilted his head, his eyes deep and profound. "Do you think I will let you guys cause her death a second time?"
Chapter 157: I Only Trust Her
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yu Shijin left shrouded in a frosty aura.
Dumbfounded, Chi Qing remained on the spot, his eyes completely glazed over.
Remember, she has already died once.
With trembling hands, he opened the car door and stepped on the accelerator.
Luckily he was a professional race car driver and possessed instinctive good driving skills. If it was someone else, a terrible accident would definitely have occurred.
He finally calmed down by the time he reached Su Huiqing's villa.
"Help me pass this potion to Dugu." Su Huiqing was sitting on the sofa. She tossed a transparent bottle over to him.
Chi Qing caught the potion.
But he didn't leave immediately. He just stood there watching her, his alluring eyes turning a shade darker. "Captain, tell me. What actually happened on that day at the International Battlefield?"
Su Huiqing pursed her lips.
She lowered her eyes, the expression on her face turning icy-cold. "Why are you suddenly asking me about this?"
"I don't believe you will die." Chi Qing shut his eyes.
His voice wavered slightly on the word "die".
Even more so, he didn't believe that she would really be accidentally blown up.
Especially when he heard Yu Shijin's words: Do you think I will let you guys cause her death a second time?
"Do you really want to know?" Su Huiqing nudged Empress Su to the side and stared coldly at Chi Qing.
Chi Qing nodded seriously.
Su Huiqing lowered her lids, her lashes hiding the dimmed light in her eyes. "Will you believe me if I told you that someone betrayed me?"
"Who is it?" Chi Qing asked vehemently as he clenched his fists.
That expression clearly indicated his trust in Su Huiqing.
However.
Su Huiqing just smirked. For the first time ever, she gazed at Chi Qing indifferently. "What if that person is someone whom you also trusted wholeheartedly?"
"Impossible..." Chi Qing's pupils dilated.
Someone whom he also trusted wholeheartedly. He could only think of one.
He instinctively rebutted. "Qingqing, are you joking?"
Su Huiqing actually already predicted such a response from him.
Even so, she still felt a slight chill in her heart.
This was also the reason why after her rebirth, she didn't seek out her childhood friend Chi Qing but instead went looking for Chi Yue.
"Alright, I was indeed joking." She smiled nonchalantly, lowering her eyes to hide the cold glint flashing past her pupils. "You should head home now, you still have to go back to the International Association tomorrow."
Chi Qing remained standing there.
He continued observing Su Huiqing's face.
His heart sank.
As dense as Chi Qing was, he knew that if he just left like that today, there would be an irreparable gulf between Su Huiqing and him.
But Su Huiqing didn't give him the chance to speak again. She casually took up her cell phone and went upstairs.
Uncle Chen treated him very hospitably at first.
But before long, he was nearly chasing him off with a broom.
All until 11pm, when Yu Shijin came home, exuding his usual chilliness. He immediately noticed Chi Qing.
"What's the matter?" He stared at Chi Qing coldly.
Uncle Chen always went to bed at 10pm sharp. However, because of Chi Qing, he was unable to sleep even though it was already 11pm. He complained to Yu Shijin through gritted teeth, narrating that night's events to him.
Yu Shijin's eyes turned a shade cooler with every word.
He more or less surmised what had happened.
He turned harsh, sharp eyes onto Chi Qing. As if trying to suppress his anger, he finally spat out one sentence. "I should never have let you come to Green City. Get lost."
"Mr. Chi, please leave," Chief detective persuaded in a low voice as he entered through the front door. "It is very frightening when Master Yu flies into a rage."
Chi Qing didn't know why Yu Shijin would suddenly appear here.
But he knew that as long as Yu Shijin was here, there was no way he would be seeing Su Huiqing today.
Chi Qing walked out the front door but didn't immediately leave.
He just sat in his own car and took out his cell phone. He sent a message to Chi Yue.
Before long, Chi Yue replied: I am not you. I didn't have the good fortune of growing up with Captain. But there is one thing which all the people of Unknown Island and I have in common. I only trust her.
After reading that message, Chi Qing glanced up at the room on the second floor. The lights were still turned on.
At that point in time, Yu Shijin was knocking on the door to that room.
Uncle Chen was standing behind him, holding a carton of milk. "Ms Su needs to attend school tomorrow. She might be asleep already?"
"No." Yu Shijin was certain.
Indeed, Su Huiqing opened the door just as the words left his lips. She wasn't even in pyjamas yet, and didn't look like she was sleeping anytime soon.
She gazed at the two men in silence.
Yu Shijin glanced at her and raised his brows.
He then took the milk from Uncle Chen and shoved it into her hands. He stated in an icy tone. "Useless."
Su Huiqing opened her mouth to say something.
"Why are you upset over those heartless creatures?" Yu Shijin cut in. "Hurry up and go to bed. You still have classes early tomorrow morning."
Su Huiqing, "...'"
Yu Shijin finally turned and walked back to his own room after she closed her door.
He took up his cell phone and made a call.
The moment the call was connected, he paused for a moment, his face extremely grim. "Have someone immediately bring Chi Qing away."
Another second passed.
He himself was not sure if Chi Qing could still make it back alive to the International Association.
Chi Qing was brought to the airport.
Before he left, he called Su Huiqing on the phone. It was picked up on the first ring.
But before he could say a single word, someone snatched the phone away from him...
Chapter 158: How Great It Would Be If I Met You Earlier
Chi Qing glanced up and saw Yu Shijin standing stonily before him.
He stared at Chi Qing with narrowed eyes, not bothering to hide the murderous aura emanating from him.
Yu Shijin disconnected the call and said coldly, "Apart from apologizing, you better not say anything else."
Chi Qing was stunned,
Yu Shijin's eyes turned even frostier. "She is truly blind!"
He had someone close the cabin hatch and cut off the mobile data link.
Finally, he stood on the ground with arms crossed, watching the plane disappearing into the sky.
"Master Yu, Bai Yi has already located Ms Su's address." Chief detective stood beside him as he reported respectfully.
Yu Shijin's face remained impassive. He uttered coldly. "Let him try and find her then."
Huh? He didn't fly into a rage? There wouldn't be any bloodshed?
Chief detective was truly shocked.
Yu Shijin's eyes wavered as he continued. "Ms Su won't be in Green City over the next few days. About three days."
"Got it." The corners of the chief detective's lips twitched.
That's right, there was no way Master Yu would be so amenable.
If Su Huiqing didn't want someone to find her, even Yu Shijin would be helpless.
Not to mention Bai Yi.
These past few days, she had been preparing for her promotion to the third level. She had also brought along Qu Yan and the escort guards with her.
The third level was different from the second. The promotion would be more dangerous, and so she chose a location where no one could disturb her.
Su Huiqing was concentrating on preparing for her promotion and didn't look at her phone. As a result, she didn't know that Angie sent her a message.
After sending the message to Su Huiqing, Angie kept her phone and walked toward the car park.
Two figures were standing some distance away in the parking lot.
Angie narrowed her eyes. It was Anxien and Ye Zixuan.
"Brother Ye, listen to me." Anxien lowered her eyes, hiding the cruel glint in the depths of her eyes. "Sister has been lying to you all this while. She is addicted to drugs."
Ye Zixuan's face turned stony. His relationship with Angie had finally improved over the past few days.
"Anxien, please don't slander Angie." His tone was somewhat reprimanding.
Anxien seemed to have expected that Ye Zixuan wouldn't believe her.
She immediately dug out a document from her bag, as well as several photographs. "Brother Ye, I know it is hard to believe but these evidence do not lie."
Angie, who was about to walk off, suddenly stopped.
Ye Zixuan had already accepted the documents and was flipping through them. His originally nonchalant face turned pallid.
At this moment, Anxien pretended to have just noticed Angie. "Sister, you are here."
Ye Zixuan closed the documents and looked gravely at Angie. "Angie, tell me this isn't true."
Angie's smile gradually faded.
"It is true." She lit a cigarette indifferently.
It was the truth. There was nothing to hide.
Ye Zixuan stared at her impassively, before throwing away the box he had in his pocket. "Angie, you disgust me."
Angie stared at the red box in a detached manner. A ring rolled out from the box.
She gave a sudden laugh.
But tears glittered at the corners of her eyes.
By the afternoon, all the major media outlets were reporting that celebrity Angie was addicted to drugs. In the blink of an eye, a flood of criticisms from netizens rained down on her.
"We will never forgive her!"
"Do you know how tough it has been for the police to rein in the drug scene?"
"This kind of person should be shot to death! We can't risk her spreading her evil influence!"
"Trash! Angie will be hated for life!"
"..."
Angie stared dispassionately at the online messages. She scrolled to an image with the caption "Rumored fiance of Ye Zixuan." She clicked on it to zoom in.
It was Ye Zixuan, no doubt about it.
The person beside him was Anxien.
She should have expected this.
Her cell phone vibrated. It was a message from Su Huiqing: People without faith are scary. Congratulations on coming out.
The corners of Angie's lips twitched.
She replied: Qingqing, wouldn't it be great if I had met you earlier?
Wouldn't it be great if I had met you earlier?
Surprise flashed past Su Huiqing's eyes on receiving that message. She instinctively felt something was not right.
She immediately called Angie but no one picked up the phone.
"Qingqing, what's the matter?" Qu Yan hustled over.
Su Huiqing kept her cell phone, the light in her eyes turning slightly chilly. "Something bad might have happened. I need to go back for a while."
It was too late by the time she returned.
It was only in the hospital when she finally saw Angie.
She had slashed her wrists in a suicide attempt, and rescuers failed to save her.
Yu Shijin was just delegating the necessary tasks over at the Green City military base when he received the news.
"Master Yu, someone from the International Association is already waiting for you." Chu Xuning spoke up in a low voice when he saw Yu Shijin preparing to leave after handing over the tasks.
"Get out of my way. I can't leave yet." Yu Shijin clenched his fists as he grunted softly.
For the first time in his life, Chu Xuning refused to follow orders. "Master Yu, let me handle things here. You should head back to the International Association first."
The rest of them finally realized that Yu Shijin's so-called recuperation was a very real and very grave matter. It was no joke.
Yu Shijin calmly looked up, exuding a steely aura. He repeated. "Get out of my way."
Chu Xuning stepped to the side.
He watched on as Yu Shijin left without even turning his head.
He knew what Yu Shijin wanted to do, but it was clearly not the right time now.
Chu Xuning clenched his fists. "Master Yu, that side said that if you still refuse to go back, the deficit on your health will be so great that even they will be helpless to save you. We can always come back to Green City again. Please listen to us just this once. Go back to the International Association, please?"
Chapter 159: Are You Tired Of Living
"I know my limits." Yu Shijin didn't turn back and repeated his words.
He walked up to his car at a leisure pace.
And drove straight to the hospital.
His chin was locked tightly and his black eyes and expression were extremely cold.
From the time he received that set of documents on Angie, he already knew why Su Huiqing helped Angie.
Yu Shijin's eyes darkened as he drove towards the hospital.
After so many years, those scenes were still in his mind.
Although he had already destroyed that laboratory, some things didn't fade with time.
Especially when it came to Su Huiqing.
He remembered it more clearly than anyone else.
Similar to her, Angie was also an experimental subject.
That was why he had rushed to the police station to look for Su Huiqing in such a panic previously.
And now, Angie was dead.
This was what baffled Yu Shijin the most. Just a while ago, he had sent people to watch over Angie, and she was about to recover already.
Everything happened too suddenly.
For everything else, Su Huiqing would be able to face them alone. However, Yu Shijin was only worried about this matter.
He pressed on the walkie-talkie and instructed, "Send a set of Angie's current information to me again."
When he arrived at the hospital, Su Huiqing stood before the hospital bed without saying a word.
Angie's biological parents were no longer around, and she only had an uncle left. This time, with the scandal, even her uncle ignored her.
In the end, it was Su Huiqing who helped her with her funeral arrangements.
Not many people came to see Angie-only a couple of fans.
On the day of her burial, Ye Zixuan observed from afar.
It was drizzling.
Yu Shijin was holding an umbrella. When he walked past Ye Zixuan, he paused for a moment, turned sideways, and looked at him. "Not going over?"
Ye Zixuan paused.
Then, he shook his head and pursed his lips tightly. "I won't forgive her."
Ye Zixuan looked up at Ye Zixuan coldly. "Might as well, let her leave in peace."
After the funeral, the discussions online had yet to stop.
Su Huiqing was holding her phone and refreshing her social media.
"I guess she died from overdosing on drugs?"
"This kind of person deserves to die."
"Karma exists."
"..."
Even Su Huiqing was not spared on social media.
Everyone pointed their fingers at her online.
Only Su Huiqing's fans were very calm.
Su Huiqing closed the page and stuffed the phone back into her pocket.
She looked sideways at Yu Shijin, reached out over her mouth, and spoke with a cold, hoarse voice, "Brother Yu, can you do me a favor?"
She wanted to ask Yu Shijin for help on retrieving national certificates.
Su Huiqing could also obtain it, but she would need a couple of days' time.
But at a time like now, she didn't want to continue waiting any longer.
Angie's death was a thorn in the flesh for her.
A thorn which couldn't be removed.
Cutting her wrist.
Su Huiqing couldn't make sense of it. Why would someone who was about to recover choose to commit suicide?
"To obtain Angie's certificate?" Yu Shijin looked at her with a hand in his pocket.
His eyes were darkened.
"Yup." Su Huiqing smiled slightly. The cold sunlight shone on the side of her face, making her look somehow harsh. "Some people have to pay the price."
Since Angie was already dead, it wasn't reasonable for her to still shoulder those unnecessary accusations.
She could also obtain the certification, just that she needed to spend more time.
However, at a time like this, Su Huiqing didn't want to wait any longer.
Yu Shijin acted very quickly. Almost as quickly as he gave the instructions, the information was all gathered.
Su Huiqing called for a press conference.
Right at the opening, the reporters all came with ill intentions. An experienced reporter asked sharply, "Miss Su, you've been making Angie's funeral arrangements and even called for a press conference today-are you trying to get famous with Angie's hot topic?"
To get famous using a dead person-this was the most vicious speculation towards anyone.
Su Huiqing slowly reached out, supported her hand on the table, and worked up a tinge of a cold smile. "Do you think I need to get famous with Sister Angie's hot topic?"
The experienced reporter was speechless for a moment.
With Su Huiqing's identity, indeed, there wasn't a need.
There were other reporters with questions.
Su Huiqing didn't wish to answer these questions. These weren't her main intention today.
"She had worked so hard and almost succeeded." She moved away from the center seat and played a video of Angie before she slit her wrist for the reporters present. "Why can't you guys just give her a little more time?"
"I've always believed that the world and its people all stand on the side of righteousness." Su Huiqing stuck a hand in her pocket and enunciated each word with a harsh gaze. "But I'm only realizing now that I was wrong. I shouldn't have convinced Sister Angie to believe someone that totally didn't love her enough."
After raining for a few consecutive days, the day was already clear.
Everyone went silent for a moment until someone said, "However, as a public figure, it was Angie's fault for spreading negativity to her fans."
"Negativity?" Hearing this, Su Huiqing worked up a half-smile.
She reached out and extracted a few pieces of paper among a pile of documents which all bore the national stamp.
"Do you all know that there's something called an experimental subject?" Su Huiqing looked at the reporter who spoke up coldly.
Yu Shijin had always been standing not far away, looking down and smoking. From the start till the end, he didn't interfere with Su Huiqing.
Till she said this statement.
His downcast eyes were filled with harshness. Yu Shijin put out his cigarette and walked with big strides up to Su Huiqing.
In a sea of frenzy, he pulled her away with a cold face.
Upon seeing a tall, cool, and handsome man appear, the reporters immediately focused their cameras.
However, very quickly, they were stopped by a group of bodyguards in black.
"You'll handle the rest." Yu Shijin stopped briefly in his tracks, turned his gaze, and said to Chu Xuning.
Ye Zixuan, who had been paying attention to the press conference, let slip the phone in his hand suddenly.
His expression was also blank and lost.
No matter how his assistant called out at him, he couldn't recover.
"Sorry, I acted recklessly." Su Huiqing leaned on the wall and pouted her lips.
Her gorgeous and clear eyes seemed slightly lost.
Experimental subjects were confidential in the International Association-by saying it out like this, it would spark fear and panic.
Yu Shijin looked at her with his pair of deep-set eyes.
He opened his mouth and was about to speak.
Suddenly, a gush of sweetness came up his throat. He clenched his hand into a fist, placed it by his lips, and coughed a few times.
He managed to intentionally suppress it.
He could keep it from others, but not to the medically skilled Su Huiqing.
She reached out directly for the pulse on his left hand, and her face sank. "Are you tired of living?!"
Chapter 160: Want Me to Repeat Myself?
She assessed that his heart meridian was injured.
Su Huiqing didn't believe that Yu Shijin didn't know it himself.
With such an injury, he wasn't recuperating at home and was instead actually hanging outside the whole day.
Yu Shijin only retracted his hand mildly and looked down slightly coldly. "No biggie."
He had already dragged on for three days on top of the agreed two weeks.
In fact, the International Association had already sent someone to convince him to go back.
The person who came to persuade Yu Shijin was precisely Tao Zhuo.
"Master Yu, you should really go back." This time, Tao Zhuo had come over with her master's instructions. She placed a porcelain bottle on the table and said with a serious expression, "As a sorceress, I only wish to remind you that if you continue staying in Green City, you'll really die."
"I know this." Yu Shijin only flipped through a set of documents without any change in expression. "You may leave."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the chief detective and the rest who were standing in the study room changed.
"Boss Yu, what's the use of you knowing?" The chief detective took a deep breath. "We've settled all our matters and can go back to the International Association with you anytime."
Yu Shijin looked down, flipped another page with a mild gaze, and repeated the same word. "Leave."
Everyone present, including the chief detective, didn't understand why Yu Shijin was unwilling to leave.
Exactly what could be more important than his own life?
No one could change Yu Shijin's mind once it was set.
However, he didn't wish to drag on anymore as well.
"Young Master Chu, you know Miss Su the best-go look for her." The chief detective gritted his teeth. "Get her to talk to Boss."
"Miss Su?" Chu Xuning looked up slightly. "You're sure that you want to look for her?"
The chief detective nodded firmly.
During this period, he had spent the most time with Yu Shijin and knew better than anyone else just how much Miss Su mattered to the Boss.
He was sure that Master Yu's decision this time was definitely due to Miss Su again.
Time wasn't on Yu Shijin's side.
Chu Xuning looked at the somewhat dim sun outside, took his phone, and went out directly. "Okay, I'll try to look for her."
At this time, Su Huiqing was just released from school.
She carried her backpack, squinted her eyes, and strolled slowly.
Chu Xuning stopped his car right beside her, wound down the window, and said with a serious expression, "Miss Su, I wish to ask you for a favor."
Su Huiqing took a look at him and simply nodded. "Let's talk somewhere else."
Towards a mysterious character like Su Huiqing, Chu Xuning had always held her in awe and veneration.
Of course, this was also the case now.
He told Su Huiqing about Yu Shijin's injured condition in its entirety.
Su Huiqing's hand that was holding a cup paused slightly.
When she read Yu Shijin's pulse previously, she had only assessed that his heart meridian was injured. Although such a condition was serious, it was simple to recover from with recuperation.
However, unexpectedly, his condition was actually a far cry from what Chu Xuning described.
"You're talking about sorcery?" Su Huiqing squinted her eyes.
When she heard Chu Xuning mention sorcery, her face sank.
She was no stranger to sorcery. There was a sorceress on the Unknown Island who knew some prohibited spells that could be used from protecting a place to claiming someone's life.
Chu Xuning wasn't from the International Association and didn't know as much about this matter as Su Huiqing.
After he finished talking, he tapped on the table while waiting for Su Huiqing's reply.
After a long half a second, Su Huiqing looked up. "Exactly who is Brother Yu?"
He could even activate a sorceress-Su Huiqing didn't think that he was merely an ordinary person.
However, the surname Yu wasn't in the International Association's records.
Su Huiqing was very sure about this.
"I'm not sure either." Chu Xuning shook his head. "When I know Master Yu, he was already the life and soul of an area."
Su Huiqing nodded in acknowledgment. She looked down and zipped up her jacket. "I'll go back and chat with him, but you guys better don't bank your hopes on me."
Maybe it was because Yu Shijin understood her too well.
Although she didn't have that piece of memory, Su Huiqing was gradually letting her guards down towards him.
Because of this, she wanted to make clear exactly what all these were about.
However, the current focus was still the issue of that sorcery.
"Why are you reading the newspaper?" Su Huiqing returned to the villa, threw her backpack on the table with a thud, and snatched the newspaper from his hands.
Yu Shijin wasn't angry either. He only looked up and spoke with a very deep voice. "What's the matter?"
"I heard that you're ill but not curing it?" Su Huiqing looked sideways, folded her arms, and smiled at him.
Her eyes were slightly harsh.
"What nonsense." Yu Shijin wanted to brush it aside. "Nothing like that."
Su Huiqing lowered her eyelids.
She looked up and was about to speak when the phone in her pocket rang.
It was Su Chu.
These few days, Su Chu and the rest had already moved to the Su Residences.
Su Huiqing's heart skipped a beat to receive a call from him at this time. Without shunning away from Yu Shijin, she picked up right away.
Su Chu's cold and deep voice came through the phone. "Missy, Old Master left behind a letter and left."
Su Huiqing's heart was chilly.
As she changed her school jacket, she looked down and walked outside. "Details? I'll be there shortly."
It wasn't without signs.
From the beginning, when the Dark Angels and Kyle were against the Su Family, she had already felt that something was wrong.
Su Lun was obviously fit and healthy, but he had always refused to manage the Su Family.
Eventually, he handed the escorting guards to her.
Thus, she had assigned the escorting guards back to the Su Family.
However, unexpectedly, something still happened.
Su Huiqing sat in the car coldly, looked down, and started to think through the entire matter.
After she left, Yu Shijin was still sitting on the sofa.
Su Huiqing didn't purposely avoid him, so he had heard whatever he needed to hear.
He held his fist against his lips, coughed lightly, and called out the chief detective with the same cold look in his eyes. "Where are the Dark Angels now?"
In Green City, Yu Shijin could definitely control everything.
If he wanted to find out, basically no one could escape.
The chief detective listed three strongholds.
"Bring me over." Yu Shijin stood up and said with downcast eyes.
"Master Yu, you can just instruct me to handle anything." The chief detective got down on one knee and pleaded.
Yu Shijin raised his head, revealing his eyes that were as cold as the dead of winter. "Want me to repeat myself?"
