Chapter 781: You Must Die
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"How is it?" Su Ruohua, who had been anxiously waiting for news beside the law enforcement team, asked anxiously.
The captain of the enforcement team looked at her without saying anything.
Su Ruohua took out her cell phone from her pocket and dialed Su Huiqing's number. She mumbled, "I will go look for Qingqing..."
Meanwhile, on the opposite side of the bottomless abyss of the Gu family's mystic realm, a fire was lit up. The scorching temperature almost melted the rocks. The blue virus in Gong Yu's hand was swallowed by the fire, and the solvent instantly evaporated in the air from the blast.
If Gideon was present, he would definitely be able to tell that Su Huiqing had thrown the STN-9 solvent into the bomb.
Looking at Gong Yu's frightened expression, Su Huiqing finally smiled. She sighed. "Gong Yu, why can't you learn your lesson? Back then, I was able to blow up your laboratory on the island. Now, I can naturally destroy all your hard work."
"It's you!" Hearing Su Huiqing's words, Gong Yu finally reacted.
"Of course, it's me. I am the person you have been looking for to create a level eight weapon. Are you very surprised?" Su Huiqing stuffed one of her hands into her pocket and carefully held the lamp with the other. She looked at Gong Yu expressionlessly. "From the moment I returned to the International Association, I swore an oath. Many people thought that I had forgotten. Even Brother Yu thought that I didn't remember. Did you also think that I had forgotten? Unfortunately, I never forgot that I got Gideon to research STN-9 from the day I went overseas."
She was Su Huiqing.
Back then, the Island Master of the Unknown Island had saved her and handed over the Unknown Island to her. The entire Unknown Island was her responsibility.
She was the one who set the rules of the International Association. How could she watch these people touch the territory she was guarding?
"The only thing I didn't expect"-Su Huiqing smiled-"is that your target is actually Brother Yu. I can only apologize. It's a pity that I can only kill you first. As for your base, leave it to my companions."
As the last sentence was said, Gong Yu was poisoned by the potion that had melted into the air. His skin rapidly turned black and eventually turned into ashes that scattered in the air.
Until his death, he did not know why.
He had planned for so long and researched so many ways to achieve immortality. He had also researched monsters that were neither dead nor alive. In the end, he found out that this array could help him achieve immortality through the lives of others. He just needed two more hours to obtain that lamp, and he would succeed.
He had always thought that his greatest opponent was Yu Shijin. After all, he had lost to Yu Shijin many times, so he had been using his overseas powers to restrain this man. He even wanted to find the King of Mercenaries to fight Yu Shijin head-on.
However, his greatest opponent was really Su Huiqing, someone whom he didn't even care about.
Gong Yu had disappeared, but Su Huiqing didn't look any better. She clutched her chest, and a mouthful of black blood gushed out from her throat.
She didn't care and just casually wiped the blood off her lips. There were still many injuries on her body, all caused by the shock after the explosion. However, she was wearing a black coat, so she couldn't see the blood on her body and could only smell the bloody scent around her.
"Come out." Su Huiqing spat out another mouthful of blood as if nothing had happened. Then, she turned around and looked in a certain direction.
A figure gradually appeared in the place. It was that old man in Yu Shijin's study room.
"You are very outstanding." The old man was still holding the gourd in his hand, but he didn't drink it this time. He only looked at Su Huiqing with a complicated expression. "I have already thought of helping you clean up the aftermath."
"Cut the crap. How am I going to save him now?" Su Huiqing didn't want to talk to him anymore. She stared straight at Yu Shijin.
"Do you see that starlight under Yu Shijin's feet? That's the direction of the Big Dipper. The once-in-a-century Big Dipper constellation appears in an hour. He has been using the method I taught him to extend your life for a long time, but there's no such thing as an easy thing in this world." The old man sighed. "I warned him not to continue, and now the Big Dipper is furious. The entire world will suffer if this continues. The Dark Angel organization is just one of the opportunities. Now, you must satisfy it. Place the lamp in the center of the starlight and sacrifice your own life. I will set up an array here to burn your life."
As he spoke, the old man threw down a few stones. A corner of the starlight ignited with a blue flame.
"Brother Yu saved me in the same way?" Su Huiqing pursed her lips and looked at the blue flame.
"Yes, but back then, he could have avoided the Heavenly Secrets without dying. But the price was that every time he recognized you, you would die again. This time, he finally found a loophole. Unfortunately, it was leaked, and he had to trade his life for yours," the old man said, "Unfortunately, he couldn't trade his life for yours. You are still the source of everything."
"So, why did you ask him to save me back then?" Su Huiqing looked at the old man. Back then, Yu Shijin was just an ordinary person. How would he know this method? It was obvious who taught him.
The old man was silent for a moment before saying, "Back then, when I met him, he wanted to die, but he was a rare genius, so I couldn't let him die. I didn't expect you to be so extraordinary. Even the Big Dipper didn't allow it, which led to what happened afterward. I tried to persuade him to give up on you several times, but he wouldn't listen. But now, you can't. You have to die. Sorry."
Chapter 782: She was Lucky to Meet Him

Even though she could not remember some things, Su Huiqing could still understand a few of them from the old man's words. However, she did not want to say more at this moment. "What do you want to do? Let's start now."
The old man brought Su Huiqing into the array and took the lamp from her hands.
Su Huiqing stood beside the blue flame. This flame was very similar to the color of Yu Shijin's lighter-she thought lightly.
At the same time, those people from the International Association finally flew to the entrance of the cave.
"Elder, Elder, there are still living people here!" The Dugu Family's guards shouted in surprise when they saw the figures of the group of people covered in dust.
Elder Dugu immediately came forward. He recognized one of them and smiled in surprise. "Mr. Chi Yue, Mr. Chi Yue, wake up!"
Chi Yue finally woke up from his groggy state. When he opened his eyes, he was a little dazed. It took him a while to recover. "Elder Dugu, I... I'm still alive?"
"Yes, Mr. Chi Yue, you are still alive!" Elder Dugu was also very excited.
Initially, when he received the news from overseas, he felt heavy. However, seeing that Chi Yue was still fine, he heaved a long sigh of relief.
Chi Yue finally came to his senses. He looked at Apollo, Gu Li, and the rest who were waking up one after another. Only then did he confirm that he wasn't dead.
At this moment, Apollo also started to think about it. He patted his head and suddenly laughed. "She must be out of her mind. That's Su S. Back then, when she entered the international battlefield alone, not only did she save a hundred people, but she also saved the entire body of a soldier king! This explosive genius. If she wants to control an explosion, she's even more accurate than a computer. So what if it's a level ten weapon? It was built from her hands and designed by her. How can we die?!"
Chi Yue had also thought of this.
That's right, that was Su Huiqing. The previous King of Mercenaries was a genius who could only give up his position. A King of Mercenaries who treated her teammates as her life. Su S, who had made the three giants of the International Association tremble the moment she appeared in the International Association. Miss Su, who had created the fifth most powerful force outside the four great overseas factions in a year. How could she let them die in her field of expertise?!
Chi Yue chuckled.
I should have known better than to underestimate her anywhere.
Gu Li and the rest also reacted. Previously, they didn't know why Chi Yue and the other gaming gods obeyed Su Huiqing. Now, they finally understood this point.
Su Huiqing was the person they believed in the most.
After laughing, Chi Yue hurriedly picked up the communicator in his hand and tried to call Su Huiqing's communicator. The call was immediately connected. His eyes lit up. "King, we are not dead. Where are you now? I will bring people over!"
Underground, Su Huiqing placed the receiver to her ear and listened to Chi Yue's excited words. She smiled and said, "You guys did well. I can rest assured in the future. My coordinates..."
She took a look at Yu Shijin's position and told him the coordinates.
Chi Yue replied happily. At this moment, he still didn't understand what the words 'I can rest assured in the future' meant.
After hanging up, Su Huiqing walked into the fire. "Are you sure he will be fine?"
"That's right." The old man nodded.
Su Huiqing was relieved, but the next second, she frowned. This flame was different from ordinary flames. It didn't burn people to ashes but seeped into their skin bit by bit. The cold flame directly seeped into their bones.
Only then did Su Huiqing realize that the pain she suffered in the laboratory back then was far less than one-tenth of what she felt now.
She was a person who could endure pain. However, her fingers were already trembling, and her consciousness was almost blurred.
"This is the Big Dipper's punishment." The old man couldn't bear to see her like this. "Is there anything you want me to tell Yu Shijin?"
"What do you have to say...?" Under the engulfment of the blue fire, some sealed memories in Su Huiqing's mind suddenly popped up. Her head hurt, but it couldn't be compared to the pain in her body. The deepest memories sealed in her soul also appeared. When she closed her eyes, it was that red figure. The scenes were like silent movies. She finally knew when Yu Shijin had known her.
She also finally realized that Yu Shijin must have used all his self-control when he first saw her in Green City.
After a while, she said softly, "Then, please tell him that if possible, it would be better for the 16-year-old daughter of the Su Family not to meet the 18-year-old Yu Shijin."
If that was the case, he would have known the old man long ago and wouldn't have to endure the torture with her.
The old man pursed his lips. "Are... are you sure? Back then, you used your entire Su City in exchange for this person..."
"You can tell... I just can't take it lying down. It took me so many years." Su Huiqing sighed softly and retracted her gaze from Yu Shijin's face. She tilted her head and thought for a while before finally saying, "Then... then tell him that I was fortunate enough to meet him in my lifetime. Thanks to him, I like... so many... years."
She struggled to finish her sentence. Her consciousness was so blurry that she could no longer see clearly. She could only look in Yu Shijin's direction instinctively.
Su Huiqing didn't know how many times she had died.
However, this time, it was her greatest regret. She finally understood that she was not so willing to die. There were too many things that she missed.
Chapter 783: Su Huiqing is Gone
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yu Shijin was right in front of her, and she couldn't see his face clearly. If he woke up, she didn't know if she would blame herself for not letting him see her for the last time.
As for Chi Yue, she wondered if he would properly manage the Rapid Fire Mercenary Regiment. It would be the same as before. Once she died, he would immediately leave the mercenary group.
There was also Gu Li, Qu Yan, and Yu Xiangyang. The three of them were used to following her around. Although they had their own opinions, they liked to look for her the most whenever they encountered any problems. She still wanted to see the three of them make a name for themselves overseas. Of course, she was actually worried about Qu Yan and Gu Li. These two people with low EQ did not know when they would be together.
As for Yu Xiangyang, the fiancée from the Ye family had looked for him. She did not know if he had returned.
Principal Dien, her teacher, had been waiting for her to return for so many years. Unfortunately, she was about to leave again before she could acknowledge him.
The ones to whom she felt the most guilt were Su Ruohua and Su Lun. Although she didn't want to say it, Su Huiqing was filled with guilt. After all, she had taken over their (grand)daughter's body and left before they could do anything.
The one she was most worried about was still Yu Shijin. He was such an arrogant person, and he had persisted for so many years. If he woke up and realized that she was no longer around, who knew what he would do?
Indeed, one should not have friends. After dying so many times, this was the only time that she was most concerned about them.
To be able to meet them in this life, she must have spent all her luck in the past few lifetimes. It was pretty good.
Su Huiqing's brain was slowing down, and she could no longer talk to the old man. She wanted him to lie to Yu Shijin, but she couldn't even open her mouth. In the end, she slowly closed her eyes.
At the same time, the lights in the five-star formation were finally extinguished.
The white-haired old man looked at Su Huiqing, who had collapsed on the ground, and couldn't even say a word of comfort.
After living for so many years, this was the first time he felt so terrible.
The sound above their heads was getting closer and closer. The white-haired old man raised his head and happened to see Gu Li and the others digging a hole. Their eyes were also filled with excitement. "Qingqing, we're here!"
The white-haired old man sighed and took the gourd from his waist to drink some wine.
At the same time, the blue flame beside the five-star formation disappeared.
Qu Yan's 'Qingqing' was still in her mouth when she saw this scene. Even though Su Huiqing was dressed in black, she could tell that Su Huiqing was bleeding profusely.
The people behind them also came down one after another. The expressions on their faces turned dull after surviving a calamity. There was an unprecedented silence in the entire cave.
The atmosphere was extremely oppressive.
Qu Yan, Gu Li, and Yu Xiangyang didn't say a word. They didn't even cry. None of the youths who accompanied Su Huiqing all the way from Green City to overseas and back to Green City understood Su Huiqing better than them.
This person was cold to the bone... but also warm just the same.
Yu Xiangyang followed the trail of blood and squatted beside Su Huiqing. "Qingqing?"
No one answered.
He did not dare to use his hand to check if she was breathing. There was still a trace of hope in his heart.
Just ten minutes ago, he felt like he was going to die. At that time, he thought that if he were to do it again... on that sunny afternoon, he would still choose to get out of the car and walk into the hair salon.
He then asked, "Are you Su Huiqing?"
That was the beginning of everything, but he didn't want it to end.
An ordinary rich second-generation heir like him had been brought onto this hot-blooded path by her. Along the way, they had sat together, pulled her to play Fight the Landlord, and pestered her to bring them to play games. Now, whether it was in the game or in reality, the three of them were experts that others looked up to. Yet, the person who had brought them up along the way had disappeared.
Until Gideon and the others came down as well...
These three youths, who had accompanied Su Huiqing without fear of death, finally realized a fact...
From now on, there would be no one to carry them on their journey. They could only proceed on their own.
At the side, Yu Shijin slowly opened his eyes. For the first time, there was a hint of confusion in his usually clear eyes. However, it only lasted for a moment before he quickly regained his senses.
Other than a few people crying softly, there was no other sound.
It was eerily quiet.
However, the smell of blood could not be concealed. His gaze gradually shifted to his feet. There, Gideon was sitting beside Su Huiqing. His face was blank, and even his body was covered in blood.
He had never thought that she would really disappear.
"Master Yu?" Elder Yu was the only one who was not in a daze. He could see that Yu Shijin's eyes were almost dark.
Yu Shijin lowered his head and didn't answer him. His dark eyes slowly shifted from the extinguished lamp to Su Huiqing.
After seeing the blood all over her body, he looked at his hands as if he had woken up. At this moment, he finally knew the truth that he did not want to know in his life.
He was still alive.
Why was he still alive?
In the eyes of Elder Yu and the rest, the current Yu Shijin was abnormal. His pitch-black eyes were slowly turning red like a pool of stagnant water. Anyone who saw him would feel a chill down their spine.
For the first time, Yu Shijin fell to the ground in a sorry state. When he raised his hand again, his hand was covered in blood.
"How could this be...?" His blood-stained hand trembled as he tried several times. Finally, he successfully touched her face. It was almost colder than the snow falling from the cave entrance.
The blood beneath his body started to condense.
"Su Huiqing... open your eyes and look at me... hmm?" Yu Shijin pushed her hair aside and asked with a trembling voice.
He asked several times, but there was no answer.
At this moment, he finally looked at the old man standing at the side.
The old man only heard his terrifyingly calm voice. "Do I still have a chance?"
This time, the old man could not lie. He paused for a moment and finally shook his head. "There's something I want to tell you..."
"I understand." Yu Shijin carried Su Huiqing and walked towards the hole without looking at anyone.
Along the way, blood was spilled.
He had once thought about what would happen if she did not return in the end.
He had thought about it many times, but he had never been so sure that she could not go back.
From then on, Su Huiqing would no longer exist in this world.
Chapter 784: Glory

A month later, in Green City, downtown...
"It turns out that your place is so lively during the New Year." Yu Qin walked along the pedestrian street with the others and suddenly sighed.
Qu Yan smiled at her but did not reply. Instead, she paused when she saw a milk tea shop.
Gu Li followed her gaze, and his fingers tightened.
"Do you want milk tea?" he asked the people around him.
Qu Yan nodded. Yu Qin was not interested in milk tea, but Gu Li-who was usually as cold as an iceberg-asked her. Gu Li was now a demon king overseas. She did not dare to say that she did not want it, so she just cowered and nodded.
Gu Li went to queue for a while before buying a few cups of milk tea.
Yu Qin tried to drink it and felt that it was not bad. However, when she returned to the Su Family, she found out from the Su Family chauffeur that the milk tea shop was Su Huiqing's shop.
Yu Qin looked down at the milk tea in her hands and pursed her lips, not knowing what to say.
Su Ruohua and Su Lun had both returned to Green City. Su Lun was not in good spirits. In the morning, he even sat on the sofa and talked to the bird in the cage for a while. Even though Yu Xiangyang had given Su Lun some strengthening medicine, it was almost useless.
It was New Year's Eve.
Yu Xiangyang, Qu Yan, Gu Li, and the rest had agreed to come to the Su Family for the New Year.
"Let's eat. I asked the chef to make all your favorite dishes." Seeing that the few young children were almost together with Su Huiqing, Su Lun forced himself to stay awake. He would not let down these children's good intentions.
With Yu Xiangyang and the others deliberately managing the meal, the atmosphere was quite good. At least, this was the first time Su Lun smiled in these few days.
The atmosphere of the dinner was quite good.
After they were done eating, they sat on the sofa and watched the gala. Although this was a villa area, it could not stop the festive atmosphere outside. The sound of fireworks and artillery fire could be heard incessantly, almost covering the sound of the host on the television.
Yu Qin took out her phone and insisted that Qu Yan and the rest bring her out to play. Qu Yan wanted to talk to Su Lun, and so she did not want to play. Their group still played, and the atmosphere was not bad.
Su Lun patted Qu Yan's shoulder and smiled kindly. "It's alright. You young people can play. I'm happy to see you guys play."
Qu Yan looked at Su Lun's expression. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, she took out her phone and played games with Yu Xiangyang and the rest.
"This is what you owe me after playing Fight the Landlord. How can it not count?" Yu Qin took out her phone. "Grandpa Su, you're the reasonable one."
"Alright, hurry up." Qu Yan kicked her. "I still have to accompany Grandpa to set off fireworks later."
"How shameless. Who's your grandfather?" Yu Qin said exaggeratedly.
Qu Yan glanced at her. "Don't say that I don't love you. If you want to play, hurry up."
Qu Yan took out her phone and logged into the account that she hadn't logged in for half a month. She looked at the account for a long time before she finally reacted under Yu Qin's reminder.
Yu Qin was pulled into a team by Yu Xiangyang. When she saw the names of the three of them, she was stunned.
Qu S.
Yu S.
Gu S.
Yu Qin paused. "Why are your names so weird? It makes me look weird. Wait, I'll go buy a name change card first."
A minute later, Yu Qin came back with her new name Qin S and asked Qu Yan why they changed their names.
Yu Xiangyang finally raised his head and said coldly, "Can you shut up?"
They had changed their names after meeting Su Bin. At that time, with the addition of the Almighty Su Bin; they were in the fifth row. Su Bin had changed his name to Biscuit S and established a Guild S.
For Su Huiqing and the Almighty Crispy Pancake, many people were joining the guild. They were all the top players on the list.
It had only been more than a year, but Yu Xiangyang felt that there were already quite a few incidents that had happened.
At that time, Su Huiqing thought that their names were too stupid.
Some memories were simply untouchable.
Yu Xiangyang pursed his lips. He pulled a random passerby in and started the game.
Back then, Su Huiqing had helped Yu Qin play her account. It wasn't a low-level account, so the five of them quickly entered the game.
Yu Qin didn't understand these things, but when she was choosing the game character, she saw that the passerby's teammate first posted a row of exclamations and then said, "What the f*ck, Guild S's convoy? Wow, a miracle is indeed produced from a single row! I can boast for a year!"
Guild S? Yu Qin memorized these two words and thought about investigating it later.
The group of them chose their characters one by one. The passerby chose a long-range attacker first. Yu Qin knew that she didn't know how to play, but she still remembered what Su Huiqing had told her. If she didn't know how to play, she would take the initiative to choose a tank. Thus, she chose a very tank-like tank.
Gu Li casually chose an assassin while Yu Xiangyang chose one as well.
In the end, there was only one sorcerer position left. However, Yu Qin realized that Qu Yan chose a support position instead of a sorcerer.
When that passerby saw the character Qu Yan chose, he could not help but ask, "You don't want a sorcerer?"
Yu Qin was also a little puzzled, but she didn't say anything. She only understood something in her heart.
In less than ten seconds after entering the game, the five players on the opposite side sent a 'lie down and lose' message.
Yu Xiangyang and Gu Li did not let them down. The two assassins were running around the entire map. Together with Qu Yan's help, they were extremely fierce. Within a few minutes, the other party sent another message, "The gaming experience is too bad. God, please don't kill me. I'm here to take a photo with you."
The three of them completely ignored him.
During the second round, there was no one to lead the way because Yu Xiangyang had pulled Su Bin, the devil of the jungle, over.
At this time, there was still no sorcerer.
Until a sorcerer, who had never spoken, before suddenly said: "I often watch your recordings. Aren't you guys five rows together? Where is she?"
Yu Xiangyang's hand froze. It was at this moment that he was killed by the creep.
He had only died once.
Yu Xiangyang lit a cigarette and looked at the four names on his phone screen. His gaze deepened. Assassins, long-range, support, and meat shields were all present. Only one sorcerer was left.
He pulled up the rankings and saw the ranks of the sorcerers.
That person's name was still firmly in the first place.
Even the professional team could only go second under the mid-laner Shakyamuni, Su S.
Perhaps she never knew that she was an indelible ray of light among these professional players.
Her glory...
"It's boring. I'm not playing anymore." He threw his phone on the table and picked up his lighter to look at Su Lun. "Grandpa, I'll take you to see the fireworks."
They weren't near the city center, and since it was a festival, the district management allowed fireworks.
The fireworks were beautiful, and the rumbling sounds made people feel lively.
Su Lun looked around and suddenly turned to look at Yu Xiangyang. "He... any news?"
Yu Xiangyang's hand holding the lighter paused. He knew that Su Lun was talking about Yu Shijin. He paused for a moment before shaking his head. "There's no news from the Yu Family overseas. I don't know how he is... right now."
Uncle Chen was right beside Su Lun. When he heard this, he couldn't hold back his tears anymore.
"He was fine. He just went out for a while and promised to bring me the stones from overseas. How did he disappear just like that?" Uncle Chen wiped his eyes. His condition was not much better than Su Lun's.
He had watched Su Huiqing grow up. This child had liked to stick to him since she was young, and he had also spoiled her.
After that, Su Huiqing had asked him many times whether he felt that she had changed.
What Uncle Chen didn't tell Su Huiqing was that he realized that she had changed. The only difference was that she had become like how she was when she was young. Su Huiqing had always been arrogant and smart, but for some reason, she slowly changed.
Fortunately, she had changed back to her old self a few years ago.
Yu Xiangyang looked at him but did not say anything to comfort him. Even Yu Xiangyang had to use a lot of willpower to stop himself from crying.
After the New Year, they left.
They were all very busy. Yu Xiangyang joined the mercenary team and took on missions day and night.
Perhaps only when he was busy would he not think about those things.
Gu Li and Qu Yan had joined the special training army and were living on the edge of a knife.
A few months later, Yu Xiangyang had just accepted an international mission. After drinking with Gu Li and the rest, he was about to go on a mission. Chi Yue suddenly flew over from Country M overnight and said to them in a sorry state, "Mr. Yu contacted us."
Chapter 785: New Life
Yu Shijin contacted them.
Yu Xiangyang was dazed for a moment. The three of them knew the truth better than anyone else. They also knew what Yu Shijin meant when he said 'no chance'.
They had even thought more than once that it would be best if there was no news of Yu Shijin... because that way, Yu Shijin might still be alive.
They were most afraid that one day, they would receive news that Yu Shijin had died somewhere.
Yu Xiangyang had once thought that even if he really received this news, he would not be surprised.
"Master Yu? Where is he now?" Qu Yan asked instinctively.
Chi Yue took a deep breath as his eyes lit up. "Dugu Gang sent me a message. He told me that our king... might still be alive!"
Pa-
Yu Xiangyang dropped his wine glass.
***
"Dr. Xu-Dr. Xu! She's awake! Sleeping Beauty is awake!"
Su Huiqing only felt pain in her head and all over her body. It was an extremely uncomfortable pain.
However, she was used to this kind of pain.
It's just that this time, she heard an unfamiliar voice.
She forced her eyes open, but she could feel a strong light.
Su Huiqing covered her eyes with her hands. She didn't know why, but her hands were too stiff. It took her a long time to raise them, and she couldn't react in time. After a long while, she finally saw a lady in a white nurse uniform.
When the guard saw her, he could not hide the surprise on his face. Then, he hurriedly ran outside and kept shouting: "Miracle! It's simply a miracle!"
Su Huiqing's body was very stiff. After a while, she finally reacted. Another newbie in the laboratory? She frowned and thought.
However, the next second, she saw the half-opened curtains and the strong sunlight.
The hand that covered her eyes stopped.
Su Huiqing narrowed her eyes slightly. No, the sun couldn't be seen underground.
At the thought of this, she immediately got off the bed. There wasn't a pair of shoes under the bed, but she didn't mind. She got off the bed barefooted, pulled open the curtains, and looked at the tall buildings outside in disbelief. There were also people under the sun, including nurses, doctors, patients, and family members.
Everything was so beautiful and surreal.
Su Huiqing's movements started to become smoother. She slowly lowered her head to look at her hands. There was a layer of calluses on her fingers as if she had been holding a gun for years. However, that was not right. She had been in the laboratory for so many years and had come into contact with bombs the most. She had never touched a gun before.
At the thought of this, Su Huiqing couldn't help but frown. She walked to the washroom and stood in front of the mirror to look at herself.
Perhaps it was because she had not been exposed to sunlight for a long time, but the person she saw was extremely fair. Her lips were also very pale. Perhaps it was because she had just woken up, but her hair was also very messy.
Furthermore, she was wearing a hospital gown. It could be said that she was very sloppy.
However, no matter how unkempt she was, she could not hide her ink-like face.
Click.
The door outside opened.
Then, a few doctors and nurses came in. The leader was a tall and handsome man in a white coat. He looked very popular in the hospital because the old doctors around him were very polite to him.
The nurse at the side was even more exaggerated. From the beginning to the end, she looked at the man with admiration.
"You're awake?" Xu Yi was initially skeptical when he heard the nurse's words, but when he saw the empty hospital bed, he finally believed her.
The sleeping beauty in the ICU had slept for three years. Even he, who specialized in botanical studies, had to give up on her. He didn't expect her to really wake up here.
The old doctors around him were also amazed. "Dr. Xu, you're really young and promising. This can be considered a miracle, right?"
Xu Yi took out a pen and started asking about the nurse who was taking care of Su Huiqing.
Just then, the bathroom door opened.
Xu Yi heard an intern doctor beside him take a deep breath. Xu Yi, who had been seriously writing about Su Huiqing's condition after waking up, couldn't help but raise his head and look in that direction.
While looking at her, his writing hand also paused.
When this young lady was still in a vegetative state, the people in this hospital laughed and called her a sleeping beauty. Xu Yi had also seen her before. In terms of facial features, she was indeed very good-looking. It was just that she wasn't lively and seemed a little hollow. Many beauties were chasing after him, so he didn't pay much attention to them.
However, only when this person opened his eyes could he understand how the word 'good-looking' came about.
Every stroke was indescribable.
He felt frozen as she had pushed open the door and walked out of the bathroom. The way she looked at them against the light made him unable to look away.
"It's good that you're awake. Do you feel any discomfort in your body? Also, do you remember your family's contact details? I'll inform them to pick you up," Xu Yi's voice softened as he asked gently.
Su Huiqing glanced at him. She didn't know the exact situation, so she didn't speak and just shook her head.
A few doctors were excited that a vegetable, who had been in a coma for three years, had woken up. They did not ask anything and did not mind. Instead, they went to the office excitedly to study something.
The nurse was so excited that she wanted to take a photo and post it on her WeChat Moments. However, when she pressed the shutter button, she noticed a flash of light in front of her. Then, the phone in her hand was taken away.
The nurse was stunned. When she looked up, she saw Sleeping Beauty leaning against the headboard and playing with her phone.
As if sensing her gaze, Sleeping Beauty curled her lips and lowered her voice slightly. It must have been a long time since she spoke, so her voice was a little hoarse. "Sorry, I don't like being photographed."
Chapter 786: Talent
Su Huiqing's memory of the past was a little blurry. It wasn't that she couldn't remember it completely, but she would always be a little weak. Her limbs were also very stiff. Although it couldn't be seen on the surface, every movement of her hands and feet required a lot of strength.
Xu Yi told her that it was because she had slept for too long that she was like this. She still had to accept a healthy recovery.
"Did you save me?" Su Huiqing asked.
Xu Yi was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted. He stuffed the pen and paper back into his pocket and said very honestly, "It wasn't me who saved you. It was my classmate. He was a very famous doctor who discovered you by the sea. I saved you... only because your condition was more suitable for my research project."
"Thank you." Su Huiqing narrowed her eyes slightly. It had been two days since she woke up, and she had already participated in a health recovery session. She knew that she had been lying down for several years and had spent a lot of money. This money was all paid by Xu Yi.
She was thinking about how to repay this huge sum of money and wondered if the country here would accept firearms design...
"Miss Su, Miss Su?" The nurse beside her saw that Su Huiqing was stunned again and waved her hand in front of her.
Su Huiqing came back to her senses. "Hm?"
"Did you hear what I said?" The nurse packed up the equipment beside her.
"What?" Su Huiqing stood up and tried to pose in a difficult position. This time, it was much easier than yesterday.
Seeing that Su Huiqing did not hear her, the nurse was not surprised at all. These few days, she had a clear understanding of this Miss Su's character. This Miss Su liked to be a traveling deity, and her reaction was slow. "Did you realize that Dr. Xu treats you very differently?"
"No." Su Huiqing looked out of the window. From this angle, she could still see the two children playing outside.
"Dr. Xu graduated from the International Association. You know Monster University, right? He's from the research institute there, but he came back after he finished his studies. All the women in our hospital like him very much. Let me tell you a secret. I've even seen a few beautiful ladies waiting for Dr. Xu, but he has never paid attention to anyone else. He's very cold. Don't you realize that he talks a lot to you? He comes to visit you every day when he's working or after work..." The nurse kept gossiping.
Su Huiqing interrupted her. "Because I am his patient."
Looking at Su Huiqing's clear eyes, the nurse finally realized that this Miss Su really had no feelings for Professor Xu.
She sighed and felt that this Miss Su might not have a good EQ.
Su Huiqing fell into deep thought again. Monster University... another familiar name.
Accompanied by a nurse, she made her way downstairs, intending to walk for an hour or two in the public area below and enjoy the sun.
They walked for a while and then sat on the bench.
Su Huiqing leaned back in her chair, holding a pen and a piece of paper in her hand. There was no drawing board, so she only placed the piece of paper on her lap. She was still wearing her hospital gown, and when the sun shone on her body, it enveloped her in a layer of light. She was definitely a head-turner.
She heard someone calling the nurse's name, but she didn't look up. She continued to draw with her eyes lowered.
"She is the woman Dr. Xu saved?" The woman in a red dress glanced at Su Huiqing and frowned.
Even though she did not see Su Huiqing's face, just her side profile made the woman feel threatened.
The nurse had been with Xu Yi for two years and was very familiar with this woman in red. When she heard this, she immediately said, "Yes, Miss Ning."
Ning Xi was from the Ning family, the same Ning family that dominated the capital. She could not afford to offend them.
"Who is she? She's awake and still not leaving?" Ning Xi continued to frown.
"No, Miss Su doesn't have a family," the nurse answered after some deliberation. "I see that there's a layer of calluses on her hands. It's been more than two years, and they haven't disappeared yet. Her family shouldn't be very wealthy either."
The nurse did not lie about this. In the city, even in ordinary families, no lady had such thick calluses on her fingers.
What she did not know was that it was a cocoon that would only appear when one was used to holding a gun.
"I see..." Upon hearing this reply, Ning Xi retracted her gaze and no longer paid attention to Su Huiqing.
Although he looked very aggressive, the Xu family would never accept someone of unknown origin. Xu Yi was such a dazzling person, so he probably wasn't someone who judged others by their appearance.
As she thought this, she went to the hospital to look for Xu Yi.
Su Huiqing realized that her ears were especially good. She had heard their conversation, but she didn't have any other thoughts.
She only looked at the nurse after Ning Xi left. "Did you send the photos I gave you yesterday?"
"Of course." The nurse patted her chest and looked at Su Huiqing curiously. "But Miss Su, what are those that you asked me to send?"
She asked while looking at Su Huiqing's drawing.
It was very strange. This Miss Su clearly only had a piece of paper and a pen, and there wasn't even a ruler or compass. However, the horizontal lines on the paper looked as if they had been deliberately measured. They were so orderly that there were no traces of it as a free-hand drawing at all. If someone said it was printed from a computer, people would believe it.
Chapter 787: Meeting
"Good stuff." Su Huiqing smiled. She kept her pen and took the paper.
She had asked the nurse to send the design blueprints to the auction house here. There were professional appraisers in the auction house, so they should be able to see what she designed.
By then, the first sum of money would come. It would be time for her to leave the hospital.
The two of them walked unhurriedly towards the hospital. Unexpectedly, they bumped into Ning Xi and Xu Yi.
Xu Yi was still holding the medical record in his hand and completely ignored Ning Xi, who was following him closely in her high heels. When he saw Su Huiqing, he stopped in his tracks and habitually asked, "How do you feel today?"
"Much better." Su Huiqing rotated her wrist to prove her agility. "I should be able to recover completely in a few days."
When she said this, Xu Yi's hand pressing down on the medical record paused for a moment. Although it wasn't obvious, Ning Xi saw it.
"Alright, I'll do a full-body checkup for you tomorrow anyway." Xu Yi closed the medical record, the pen still spinning in his hand. "Didn't you say that you've forgotten something? The other doctors and I are currently researching ways to help you recover."
"No need." Su Huiqing shook her head.
She had a feeling that something was waiting for her. If it wasn't because it was inconvenient to move, she would have walked faster.
"Oh, right, Dr. Xu." At this thought, Su Huiqing suddenly said, "Give me your card number, and I will transfer the medical fees to you."
Xu Yi frowned. "There's no need to be in such a hurry. Besides..."
He looked at Su Huiqing and didn't think that she was the kind of person who could really repay the money. Two years, plus the machine, was still an astronomical figure. An ordinary family would never be able to pay for it.
Moreover, he did have his own reasons for keeping her.
However, Xu Yi was no match for Su Huiqing. In the end, he still gave her a string of numbers.
After Su Huiqing received the card number, she was about to turn around and board the elevator when she accidentally bumped into Ning Xi when she was passing by. The blueprint in her hand fell to the ground.
If it was in the past, Su Huiqing would have been able to avoid Ning Xi in a matter of minutes. Right now, her body's agility had not fully recovered. Even if her brain could keep up, her hands and feet could not.
Su Huiqing frowned and bent down to pick up the blueprint.
Unexpectedly, as she was bending over, Ning Xi's voice suddenly rang in her ears. The woman said darkly, "If you want to stay in Beijing, you'd better leave this place in the afternoon."
After saying that, Ning Xi looked up. Her gentle look was no different from before as if she was not the one who had just spoken.
Su Huiqing picked up the paper, and a cold glint flashed across her eyes.
When I recover, I'll kill you!
At the very least, she would have to wait for the money from the auction house to arrive.
She picked up the paper, then turned, and continued toward the elevator. To her surprise, there was a black figure in front of her.
"Excuse me, sir," she said casually.
A cold voice answered her. "No."
It was just a single word, but Su Huiqing felt her heart tighten.
She raised her head abruptly and was greeted with the sight of a tall figure. He was very thin, but it couldn't hide his elegant features. It was a face that no one could forget. The nurses often said that Xu Yi was extremely beautiful, but Su Huiqing felt that he wasn't even a tenth as handsome as the man in front of her.
"I finally found you," she heard him say.
Chapter 788: News
At a top international training camp...
Qu Yan was wearing a camouflage uniform. Under the scorching sun, she pressed the cap on her head. "What are you doing? Haven't you eaten? Where's your strength?!"
The group of people below was all in a miserable state. They could only silently mutter 'female devil king' in their hearts.
On the surface, no one dared to say it out loud. After all, although the person in front of them was just a woman, she was a woman that no one in the army could defeat. It was already very embarrassing for them to be unable to defeat a woman.
No one dared to say anything.
It was finally the only ten-minute break in the past hour. These people immediately collapsed on the ground. They would not have been able to accept such intense training if not for their physical fitness.
"You guys are so pitiful. To think that you're actually the subordinates of this female devil king." When the training group passed by and saw the group of people who looked like dead dogs, they couldn't help but look at them sympathetically. "This female devil king has to torture her subordinates for seven days every time. No one can do anything about it. Last time, the ace seeded team was tortured to death. It's useless to tell the commander. This time... you guys have worked hard!"
The other people also looked at the people lying on the ground. It was true that they wanted to become stronger, but this kind of intense training was clearly putting their lives on the line. After seeing how the ace troops were being tortured, ordinary people like them did not dare to provoke Qu Yan.
Hearing what these people said, the people lying on the ground wanted to cry.
"Miss Qu..." The commander-in-chief was also more concerned about this matter and had specially come to see Qu Yan. He indirectly asked Qu Yan to be gentler. There were a few second-generation heirs among them.
How could Qu Yan listen to him? These training methods were all used by Su Huiqing when she was training them. She, as a woman, and Yu Xiangyang could endure it. There was no reason for these old men to not be able to.
It was not until four days later when Qu Yan brought them to the side to catch drug dealers and train them that the group under her finally realized how terrifying Qu Yan was.
At this moment, they were in a tropical rainforest in Continent M. Gunshots rang incessantly in the forest.
"Captain Qu, we are about to deplete our ammo. We have a traitor under us. That drug lord has already brought his men to surround us. What should we do?" The person who spoke was still very young and was clenching his teeth tightly.
He wasn't afraid of death, but they had captured quite a number of people these days. Being captured by those people would definitely be torture.
The tough guys were not afraid, but they were afraid that Qu Yan would be captured!
"Captain Qu, you go first. We'll cover you." Someone took out a weapon from his pocket and handed a USB flash drive to Qu Yan. "We'll help you hold them off! Let's go!"
The gunshots were getting closer and closer. Those people were definitely not more than three hundred meters away. In addition to the hounds, their chances of escaping were less than 10%. The atmosphere was tense.
However, Qu Yan did not move.
The communicator in her pocket rang.
The enemy was almost upon her, but she picked up the communicator and picked it up in front of the hounds.
"What?" The person on the other end of the line said something. Qu Yan was stunned. She was even a little incoherent. "Wait, you... what did you say? Qingqing is still alive?"
Qu Yan confirmed again and again, and Dugu Yusheng was very certain.
She hung up the call and smiled for the first time. Then, she looked at the hounds and drug lords in front of her. For the first time since Su Huiqing left, she took out her weapon. "You guys are lucky today. I'm in a good mood. I'll let you guys die happily."
Within five minutes after she finished speaking, a group of people was annihilated by her.
Chapter 789: Arriving
"There's a helicopter outside the forest to pick you up." After the fight, Qu Yan did not stay any longer. Instead, she quickly headed deeper into the forest. "Go back and tell the commander that I won't be coming back anytime soon."
"Captain Qu, where are you going?" someone asked subconsciously.
At first, she thought that Qu Yan would not answer, but Qu Yan stopped in her tracks and glanced sideways. "To meet someone very important."
***
International Association...
"Professor Yang, what do you think of this report? It's from the capital of Country Z." A middle-aged man in a white coat showed a piece of paper to the man sitting in the middle.
When he heard the two words 'Country Z', Yang Chen especially took a look. It was a report about brain death. "A young man with bold ideas and potential can hire a laboratory. What's his name... Xu Yi?"
He was from overseas, but after Su Huiqing left, Yu Xiangyang and the rest returned to the International Association.
Yang Chen knew very well that he was groomed by Su Huiqing and Yu Xiangyang. Now that they were back, he naturally wouldn't stay overseas.
In the past few days, he and Yu Xiangyang had been doing the same thing at the same time-helping Su Huiqing guard the International Association and Green City well.
Since she had exchanged her life for it, they would protect it with their lives.
Upon hearing Yang Chen's praise, the middle-aged man's face lit up. "Alright, I'll inform him now. He used to be from our school..."
"Professor Yang." At this moment, a young lady walked over with a face full of admiration. "You should go on stage."
After saying that, she stared at Yang Chen without blinking.
Professor Yang came from somewhere and had a good relationship with Principal Dien. He had researched many strange things for the International Association and shocked the medical world again and again.
Today was the press conference for his new virus. Almost all the researchers in the world were present.
At that moment, they were all waiting excitedly for Yang Chen's speech.
Yang Chen did not even take his script and went on stage empty-handed. The moment he stepped on stage, the phone in his pocket rang. The assistant looked at it curiously and recognized that it was Professor Yang's personal phone. In the entire school, only Principal Dien knew the number of his personal phone.
This was the first time the assistant saw someone call Yang Chen's phone.
"You didn't hear wrongly?" The person who called was Yu Xiangyang. Yang Chen knew that Yu Xiangyang would never joke about this matter with him. Hence, when he heard it, he immediately turned around and did not even give a speech. "Cancel all our itinerary and prepare our plane tickets. We're going to Beijing!"
Cancel?
Hearing Yang Chen's first capricious words, the few big shots present were shocked.
What kind of phone call made Yang Chen abandon all the researchers in the world?
At the same time, Apollo-from the arms industry-left the trading table without even doing business.
Yu Xiangyang blew up a small island and disregarded the target. He used a brutal and bloody method to solve the problem.
And the International Association's Dugu Family, Yu Family, and even the commanders...
When Beijing District 1's people heard about this news, they were all stirred up.
Su Huiqing, who was looking at Yu Shijin, had no idea what was going on. She was directly taken away by Yu Shijin.
Xu Yi frowned. "Sir, this patient needs a reply..."
"I don't need you guys." Yu Shijin refused without even looking at him.
Xu Yi didn't have time to say anything because his teacher happened to call him. "Xu Yi, quickly go to the airport. Professor Yang is coming to Beijing!"
"What?" Upon hearing Professor Yang's name, Xu Yi didn't have the time to care about Su Huiqing. His expression shifted. "What is Professor doing in the capital?"
"I don't know. He should meet someone important-"
Ning Xi was also on the phone. "Everyone from the Ning family is going back?"
After she hung up the phone, she looked at Xu Yi-who had also hung up the phone-and couldn't help but look pensive. "With such a large assembly, what kind of formidable figure has come to the capital?"
Chapter 790: Was She That Amazing?
Su Huiqing really couldn't remember this man in front of her. That vague sense of familiarity couldn't fool her.
"Yu Shijin-I'm Yu Shijin." Yu Shijin helped her with her seatbelt, then glanced sideways, and asked seriously, "Do you remember?"
"I'm sorry," Su Huiqing said quietly. She couldn't help but tilt her head and press her fingers against her chin. "You don't seem... surprised that I don't remember you?"
This was also a strange question for her. From the beginning until now, the man in front of her had only said a few words, two sentences to her, and one to Xu Yi. Xu Yi had wanted to explain her situation to him, but the man didn't listen.
Why was it so familiar now?
Yu Shijin started the car and sneered. "Su Huiqing, you're always like this. How can I not be used to it?"
He was clearly angry, but Su Huiqing could hear the grievance in his voice.
She could not help but shrink her head. "Really?"
"What do you think?" Yu Shijin glanced at her at the red light. Su Huiqing immediately fell silent.
The black car stopped at a hotel. Yu Shijin opened the suite on the top floor. "I just came to Beijing. Chi Yue booked the hotel for me. You might not be used to it. I'll bring you to the Ning Family later."
As he spoke, he turned on the computer on the table.
Su Huiqing stood at the side and looked at him. She didn't feel restrained at all. She just felt that she didn't expect this cold-looking person to be so talkative.
A video popped up on the screen.
Only then did Yu Shijin lean over. His face was right in front of her, and the closer he got, the more she realized that this face was flawless.
She heard him say softly, "Come and take a look. They're your friends. They've been waiting for you for a long time."
As she spoke, she moved aside so that she could see the screen behind him.
Someone must have sent a video call invitation to the computer on the desk. The scenery was a little shaky, and the noise was loud. Then a young, handsome face appeared. There was a little blood on his face.
Seeing Su Huiqing's face, the person on the other end of the screen was first shocked before exclaiming, "Master... Master Yu, is that Qingqing?"
"It's her." Yu Shijin lowered his head, his dark eyes flashing with imagined warmth. "I can't be wrong."
These four words were powerful.
Of course, Yu Xiangyang knew that anyone in this world could mistake someone else for Su Huiqing, except for Yu Shijin.
"Then..." Yu Xiangyang looked at Su Huiqing nervously." Qingqing, don't blame me. I was just too agitated!"
Su Huiqing naturally wouldn't blame him. She just narrowed her eyes and asked hesitantly, "You are?"
"Wait..." Yu Xiangyang was stunned for a moment. Then, he rolled up his sleeves and wiped away the blood on his face. "It must be because my image isn't good right now. How about this, do you recognize me?"
How miserable would it be if Su Huiqing didn't recognize him?
"Mr. Zhuge said that her current situation is very complicated. She has forgotten most of what happened previously." Yu Shijin glanced at Su Huiqing and said softly, "Don't agitate her. Give her some time to slowly remember."
"It's alright, it's alright." Hearing this, Yu Xiangyang was finally relieved. "Qingqing, take your time to think about it. We're not in a hurry. Wait for a while. I'm still in Continent M. I'll bring Gu Li and Qu Yan over to Beijing to look for you. We'll be there tomorrow morning at the latest!"
There was even another video call that came. Yu Shijin didn't deliberately conceal her. Su Huiqing also saw Apollo and a bunch of other people.
After being rejected by Yu Shijin, she didn't accept any other video call other than Yu Xiangyang's.
She even saw a character that had appeared on the news recently. She pointed at the photo and said, "Isn't that the commander-in-chief of Country M? Why do you have his contact number?"
Were these people that powerful?
Hearing her question, Yu Shijin sighed. "Look again. Whose account is this? Why would I add those people?"
Su Huiqing was once again in a daze. The person beside her continued, "This is your social media account. This Black Hole Software was specially developed by Chi Yue. Su S... is this ID familiar?"
