Chapter 121: A Pity
The study.
Su Huiqing came in, cool and aloof.
“Grandpa Yu.” She sat facing Grandpa Yu and reached over to refill his teacup.
“I asked to see you about the miracle doctor badge.” Grandpa Yu raised his teacup and took a sip, his face looking very serious. “Someone has bought it.”
“Who?” Su Huiqing lifted her head, surprise flashing across her dark eyes.
She didn’t wish to take any action this month.
The miracle doctor badge was priced at $100 million.
Who could afford such a price?
Who in Green City could spend such money?
Grandpa Yu glanced at Su Huiqing and replied slowly, “You should have heard of him. It’s Old Mr. Chu.”
Su Huiqing was momentarily taken aback.
She had set that rule for the miracle doctor badge as some illnesses were predestined. She would have to suffer the negative consequences of forcibly changing one’s fate.
As a result, she would always make the person send in their information before she conducted her treatment. If the person was an evil-doer, she would definitely not rescue him.
“Have him come next weekend,” Su Huiqing said as she leaned back against her chair.
She was going to meet Chi Qing and Director Lu this weekend.
“Alright.” Having finished saying what he intended to say, Grandpa Yu stood up and opened the door to leave.
Su Huiqing gazed meaningfully at his back profile. She then said very carefully. “Grandpa Yu, you have been rather fidgety and anxious lately.”
He looked much older than before. His usually spirited eyes now appeared very dim.
Su Huiqing touched the white jade pendant on her neck. When she detected that Yu Xiangyang had been poisoned, she also noted the toxins in Grandpa Yu’s body.
Of all the people in the Ning Family, it was no coincidence that only these two were temperamental.
But she could save Yu Xiangyang, as the toxins in his body were not that widespread.
The more agitated one was, the more quickly the toxins would spread.
And the more the toxins spread, the more fretful one got.
It was a vicious cycle.
Grandpa Yu… the toxins had already been in his body for over several decades.
He was already on his last legs.
Grandpa Yu trembled on hearing Su Huiqing’s words.
His twig-like fingers clenched, as a vicious light flashed across his eyes.
His left hand clutched at his chest.
In the end, he bit his lips vehemently before suddenly turning around and collapsing to his knees before Su Huiqing!
“Ms. Su, please save Xiangyang’s life!” His eyes were filled with pleading.
Su Huiqing stood up quietly. This was the first time she was witnessing Grandpa Yu in such a state.
She bent over and helped him to his feet. The light in her eyes was chilly. “Get up first then we will talk. Xiangyang is my friend. I will never let him be harmed, even if you didn’t ask me to help.”
Grandpa Yu stood up unsteadily before taking out an exquisite wooden box from his pocket. “This is a rare treasure which I accidentally came across in the past. It was also the source of our misfortune. Now the main branch of the Yu Family has caught up with us.”
His explanation was not very clear.
But Su Huiqing could guess that the Yu Family was probably forced out of the International Association because of this item, and made to hide out in Green City.
Despite not committing any sin, one could be condemned for possessing a highly coveted treasure.
Su Huiqing understood this principle very well.
“I have thought about it, and think that it is best that this treasure belongs to you.” Grandpa Yu placed the item in Su Huiqing’s hand. Malevolence flashed across his eyes. “I will never let those people get their hands on this. Over my dead body.”
Su Huiqing gave a small, hard smile. She didn’t accept the item, but replied coldly, “Grandpa Yu, keep it. Don’t worry, if those people dare to come to Green City, I will make sure… it’s a one-way trip for them.”
Grandpa Yu shook his head as he stubbornly forced the box into Su Huiqing’s hands.
Sounding rather hoarse, he said, “You have helped the Yu Family so much that there is no way we can repay you. I won’t rest easy if you don’t accept this.”
Su Huiqing’s eyes dimmed. The lamplight lit up her face, giving it a pristine glow.
She knew what Grandpa Yu was thinking about. After a slight hesitation, she accepted the box and answered with lowered eyes, “Alright.”
Grandpa Yu finally relaxed.
After being so anxious over so many days, things have finally come to fruition.
Su Huiqing left.
She raised her hand to wipe her brow, her entire body seething with bloodlust.
She deduced that the Yu Family was not a major power.
But the International Association had its own rules.
To be able to override the International Association and run havoc in Green City, it was not something the Yu Family alone could do.
They must have someone else backing them.
No matter who it was, anyone who dared to harm those under her protection… they had better be prepared to pay a blood debt.
—
Three days later.
The weekend.
Su Huiqing descended the stairs clad in jeans and a white t-shirt. She saw Su Lun leisurely playing with his bird. With a lazy smile, she took out a piece of chewing gum from her pocket.
Her cell phone rang. It was a message from Chi Qing: Where are you?
Su Huiqing put on a slightly thicker jacket and left the house as she typed a reply: I am just leaving the house.
At the same time, in the Demon Concentration Camp.
Number One Hacker Chi Yue: Buddy, what did you do? Two of the big three asked me to hack into your firewall.
Number One Arms Dealer Sun God Apollo: Last night, we interrupted a military firearms transaction. I estimate that it was worth at least several billion dollars.
However, they accidentally lit a bunch of gunpowder during the snatch…
And seemed to have blown up an island.
It was entirely understandable that two of the big three would be trying to capture him.
Number One Intelligence Agency Dugu: Your little skirmish has shaken half the continent.
Apollo ignored him and just replied Su Huiqing: King, shall I transfer you your portion?
Su Huiqing had just alighted from the rental car when she received that message. She looked up to survey the site of the audition.
One of the ushers saw the dazzling young lady and her eyes brightened. “Hello, this way please for the audition.”
Su Huiqing thanked her politely.
Shiny black hair flowed past her smooth shoulders.
Even just her side profile was lovely beyond compare.
The usher fell into a daze at the sight of Su Huiqing, before a glimmer of pity flashed by her eyes.
This type of girl was exactly what directors looked for.
Unfortunately, she had to go on stage with that person.
