"What do you want to do?" Pei Yufei asked.
Su Xing had already made up his mind: his final move should be to confront my mother! Today, I would be by her side, and he wouldn't miss the opportunity to follow me! However, the person who could threaten my mother was undoubtedly me! I would be captured by them! And then I hoped you could help me from the inside out!
"Are you crazy? How can you ensure your skills will hold up when you fall into the enemy's trap? How can you be sure you'll survive the next minute?" Pei Yufei questioned. That person had been watching me for over a decade. If I could easily die, I would have already met my end countless times at his hands!
Pei Yufei hesitated. This plan had not been thoroughly thought out. If something went wrong, not only would her career be ruined, but Su Xing would also face life-threatening dangers! Without absolute certainty, I cannot go along with this! In the end, Pei Yufei steeled herself and refused.
Although I don't agree with Captain Shen's plan, I can't support your reckless and bold idea either!
Su Xing drove the car to the entrance of Menglan Bay Community and casually surveyed the area outside the gate. After settling on a position, he reminded Pei Yufei, "Do you see that there's someone sitting in the security booth?"
"Do you think it's normal for a community to have security like that?" Pei Yufei glanced over. The person inside was tall and sat upright, clearly well-trained. However, there was a murderous glint in his eyes that told them he was definitely not a good person!
"Can you tell how many people are watching us from here?" Su Xing asked Pei Yufei again.
Though Pei Yufei was dissatisfied with Su Xing's testing attitude, she still scrutinized the surroundings: at least eight people were positioned around the nearby shops! There should be people at both the main entrance and side doors!
The more she spoke, the more astonished she became. She hadn't expected that while they were focused on Su Xing, there weren't many of them; conversely, it seemed there were even more around Su Xing's mother! They had almost cleared out their presence! She couldn't believe they were still so pervasive!
Su Xing reminded her, "These people were already planted here before your mission began. I didn't expect their loyalty to last this long!" He paused before adding, "But now that they're focused on you, can they find where you're trying to go?"
Pei Yufei felt her intelligence drop as she realized she hadn't thought of that! It must have been Su Xing's desire to get involved that muddled her thoughts!
"I'm going to make arrangements now," Pei Yufei said as she reached for her phone. But before she could dial, Su Xing had already pushed open the car door and stepped out.
Pei Yufei was too late to shout as Su Xing had already walked into the security room he had just pointed to.
"Wow! That woman is really something!" Pei Yufei thought, watching Su Xing follow the man inside.
He quickly got out of his car, switched to another vehicle, and concealed his presence. Along the way, he changed cars several times to keep up with the person who took Su Xing away.
When Shen Jingyu received the news, he clenched his fists tightly around the blanket, nearly crushing it in his grip.
No matter how many precautions one takes, it’s hard to guard against betrayal from within the family!
Su Xing, who shared a bed with him daily, had unexpectedly turned out to be the biggest traitor!
Shen Jingyu quickly gathered with Rong Xigu. Their distant friends had not yet left; this mission was crucial—not only did they need to ensure they captured Zhan Ying’s lair, but they also had to guarantee Su Xing's safety!
Fortunately, earlier that morning when Su Xing was brainwashing Pei Yufei, Gu Bai was still alert and aware!
When Su Xing provoked the disguised security guard, Gu Bai disguised himself as another passerby and overheard their conversation. He then changed direction with Pei Yufei to pursue and intercept them.
Su Xing was taken to a remote small town.
The journey was quite winding, but that was because the assassin wanted to avoid detection and took a rough mountain road.
If they had taken the normal route down the mountain via the highway, it would only take about an hour to reach the village where Zhan Ying resided.
Is this his hometown? Su Xing sat in the car, gazing at the scenery outside. With nothing else to do, he struck up a conversation with the assassin beside him.
"Do you really look down on my profession?" asked one of the assassins. "When did you start following him? How's your pay? Have you been abroad before or have you always been here? How did you manage to sneak into the security position without anyone noticing? With that murderous look in your eyes..."
The assassin glanced back at him sharply, causing Su Xing to sheepishly close his mouth.
Su Xing was brought to a hollow in the mountains.
In front of neatly arranged graves, he was asked to get out of the car.
As he walked over, he looked at the black and red inscriptions on the tombstones; each seemed to struggle towards him as if reaching out.
Did this old man enjoy living among graves? Or did he choose this place for himself?
Su Xing approached from behind the mountain and walked down from atop a cluster of tombstones.
After descending this slope, there was an open area with a quaintly decorated wooden cabin standing elegantly amidst it all.
The courtyard was filled with an array of oddly shaped flower clusters, some of which were vibrantly colored, giving off an impression of toxicity at first glance. There seemed to be no discernible scent, but the closer Su Xing got, the heavier his body felt, as if an unseen weight was pressing down on him.
In the small courtyard sat an old man. From a distance, he appeared lifeless, yet his skin looked remarkably well-preserved, as if he had been kept fresh. However, upon closer inspection, it became evident that his abdomen was sunken in, with his clothing having fallen into the hollow space.
This was nothing short of a dried corpse! Su Xing couldn’t help but exclaim, but then he realized that the state of preservation was astonishingly good. Behind him lay numerous graves, yet this courtyard felt like a living tomb.
Su Xing hesitated to move forward; the atmosphere here made him feel particularly uneasy. It was as if the closer he got to those vividly colored flowers, the more discomfort he experienced. Could these flowers be meant to preserve this corpse?
When he turned back, he noticed that the assassin had seemingly vanished! Yet he couldn’t shake the feeling that there were many lurking in the shadows around the courtyard. Zhan Ying? Lawrence? Jack? Whoever you are, stop hiding and show yourself!
If you have something to say, it’s best to say it face to face, isn’t it? Su Xing forced himself to endure the discomfort in his body and spoke these words before weakly seeking a place to sit.
It seemed that those hidden figures had been waiting for Su Xing's reaction; only then did one of them step forward leisurely.
"Su Xing," they said with a hint of amusement. "It seems you know quite a bit about my identity. Too bad we don’t share a father-daughter bond! Otherwise, I would have certainly groomed you as my heir!"
Su Xing scoffed derisively at this person emerging from the shadows. "Dream on! With someone like you, you think you could have an heir?"
