Chapter 188: A Peck
Song San rarely smoked.
At least, he was personally not that addicted. However, at this point, as he saw the figure before him.
The corner of his lips twitched, but he couldn’t work up the slightest smile.
Instead, as an extremely rare occurrence, he retrieved a cigarette from his pocket, his lowered eyes looking very serious.
Those leering eyes across him were undeniably gorgeous. Although she acted arrogantly, that familiar leisurely tone made his heart shake violently instead.
He turned his head sideways and said to the person beside him. “Release them.”
The mere two words were more solemn than ever.
“Master San!” The great sorcerer laid in the pool of blood as he looked at Song San in disbelief.
However, Song San didn’t look at him. His pair of usually mild eyes looked at Su Huiqing seemingly thoughtfully. “All of you leave.”
He had no choice but to give in.
Apollo was the Number One Arms Dealer for a reason.
All these years, every once in a while, he would have new models of weapons on hand, each one of which far superior to any other weapon on the market.
“Next time, don’t let me capture you alone.” Song San didn’t retract his gaze.
However, a tinge of viciousness appeared on his habitually mild face.
Today, it was his mistake for miscalculating.
Su Huiqing retracted the Long Rainbow and kicked the person in her hand over to his side.
“Retreat.” She reached out, tidied her hair, leaned sideways, and said to Apollo.
Apollo raised his brow, the gun in his hand still pointing at Song San. “You leave first. I’ll retreat after you leave.”
He was afraid that Song San would go back on his words after retreating.
“Don’t worry.” Su Huiqing smiled without even turning back and said, “Song San never goes back on his words.”
Only then did Apollo keep his gun.
He turned around and was about to put his hand on Su Huiqing’s shoulder when a tall and slender figure appeared in front suddenly.
His outstretched hand retracted in the same path back, just like this.
Apollo touched his nose and asked in surprise. “Mr. Yu?”
Yu s.h.i.+jin’s stern gaze moved very, very slowly away from Su Huiqing’s arm that was tainted with blood once again, looked up at Apollo, and said with a very cold voice, “Yup.”
The surroundings were almost silent.
Apollo had still wanted to ask if he could return him that miracle doctor badge.
However, once he met Yu s.h.i.+jin’s deep and mysterious eyes, he didn’t manage to say anything.
Yu s.h.i.+jin wouldn’t say much to him either.
He pressed on the walkie-talkie and said a statement to Chu Xuning. Less than a minute later, Chu Xuning brought a group of people over.
Yu s.h.i.+jin pulled Su Huiqing’s uninjured arm and walked towards a fighter jet with a cold aura.
Su Huiqing looked sideways and saw his sharp and harsh side view.
She pursed her lips, raised her feet, and followed him out.
Such a straightforward action made even Song San couldn’t help but narrow his eyes.
Before Yu s.h.i.+jin mounted the fighter jet, he looked up slightly. Only Song San knew just how cold were that pair of eyes when he looked at Song San.
Seeing that Yu s.h.i.+jin and the rest left.
Only then did Apollo smile, whip out his phone, and send a message to Chi Yue. “I happen to be here and won’t wait for tomorrow. King told me to hand you a batch of goods—you’ll definitely be shocked when you see it.”
Very quickly, Chi Yue replied with one word. “Oh.”
Apollo’s lips twitched at the receipt of such a cold “oh.”
However, very quickly, he raised his hand and slowly retreated his troops.
And went to look for Chi Yue with great strength and vigor.
In the past, he totally didn’t dare to offend Song San. However, this time, there was Su Huiqing—using her superhuman brains, he had an endless stream of advanced weapons and totally need not fear offending Song San.
After all, who in the world would want to go against a firearms tyc.o.o.n?
The group of people left very quickly.
In the end, the entire area of the sorceress hall was left with Song San and his party.
Song San lowered his eyes and his emotions were not clearly seen.
“Master San, we’re letting them off just like this?” A person asked Song San cautiously.
Such an outcome wasn’t like Master San’s style of exterminating his opponents.
A large group had come with great strength and vigor.
Eventually, they actually let an injured girl leave triumphantly—even he found it embarra.s.sing.
Song San retracted his gaze mildly and said in a calm tone. “Otherwise? Yu s.h.i.+jin alone is already a handful. Just now, that team of fighter jets of the Yu Family that came last was really too strong. Even if Apollo didn’t appear after that, we can’t do anything to Yu s.h.i.+jin either.”
Also, that girl wasn’t any ordinary folk as well.
Today, with an injured hand, she could already hold a major general under him captive. If she weren’t injured, who could stop her?
Most importantly, such eyes and that tone of voice was clearly very familiar.
Yu s.h.i.+jin and Su Huiqing were both difficult opponents.
Thinking of this, his eyes darkened.
All along, that person from the Yu Family who held the purple-tint orchid badge didn’t bother him at all.
However, after tonight’s duel, he realized that he was actually rather on par with Yu s.h.i.+jin.
Most importantly, he still didn’t know if the other party had shown his full abilities.
“Go and investigate those two people thoroughly.” When he turned around finally, he only left with this statement.
He was naturally referring to Su Huiqing and Yu s.h.i.+jin.
—
The sky was already increasingly darkening.
On the way back to the Yu Residences, the doctor that Chu Xuning brought had already attended Su Huiqing’s injury.
When they returned to the Yu Residences, Yu s.h.i.+jin immediately ordered for a set of fresh clothes for Su Huiqing and dumped them in her hands. “Take a shower first.”
His voice was deep and seemingly the same as before.
Except for that pair of eyes that were so black they looked harsh.
Drenched in blood and sweat, Su Huiqing squinted her eyes and didn’t reject either. She took the clothes directly and smiled at the helper beside her. “Sister, bring me to the bathroom.”
That smile was cool and harsh, which suited her style.
The helper was stunned and only reacted when she felt a cold glare from Yu s.h.i.+jin.
She immediately brought Su Huiqing to the bathroom in the adjacent room.
Seeing that she left, Yu s.h.i.+jin stood at the same spot for a while.
During this period of time, Chu Xuning and the rest could very obviously feel the ever-changing hostility on him.
The chief detective looked at him and wanted to speak, but stopped himself.
Yu s.h.i.+jin looked up slightly, shot a cold glare at him, and said a single word. “Speak.”
“Here’s the thing—the City Lord and the rest are still waiting for you.” The chief detective said immediately.
Yu s.h.i.+jin was originally walking towards the bookshelf. Hearing this, he turned back and walked towards the door. “Tell Grandpa that I’ll be there right now.”
The Ye, Dugu, and Yu families had waited for almost four hours before Yu s.h.i.+jin arrived.
“What’s the matter—speak.” Yu s.h.i.+jin stood before the entire meeting room just like this with his cold eyes lowered.
A layer of evil aura surrounded him.
It was obvious to tell that he wasn’t in a great mood.
Yu Hongchang said on the main seat and only sipped tea from his cup.
He seemed in a leisurely mood.
“The, the…” When the head of the Ye Family came, he was still full of confidence. However, when he saw Yu s.h.i.+jin, he became frightened. “You and the Unknown Island…”
“This is my matter and doesn’t concern the Ye Family.” Yu s.h.i.+jin looked at him from the side of his eyes as his chin tightened and coldness spread from his eyes. “If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving.”
Saying that, he turned and left.
The elder of the Dugu saw that he was really going to leave and immediately turned his gaze to Yu Hongchang, as if to ask for help.
“Hang on.” Yu Hongchang placed his teacup down and finally spoke up slowly. “Old Master Dugu is here to discuss the marriage between the two families.”
“You agreed?” Yu s.h.i.+jin looked towards Yu Hongchang without the least bit of warmth in his eyes.
Yu Hongchang immediately shook his head. “Naturally not.”
“Then what’s there to discuss?” Yu s.h.i.+jin turned around once again, his eyes filled with coldness.
“But this is a marriage decided by our ancestors.” Old Master Dugu couldn’t help but s.h.i.+ver. “You… this…”
“Don’t bother me about such stuff in the future. There’s only one person I want to marry.” Yu s.h.i.+jin walked out the door. In the end, he looked sideways at the people inside. “Otherwise, I’ll let the all of you see Miss Dugu’s corpse.”
The roomful of people fell silent.
Yu s.h.i.+jin walked towards his place of residence.
At this time, most of the people were already asleep.
However, there were still a couple of people on night patrol.
They all bowed respectfully upon seeing him and Yu s.h.i.+jin nodded mildly.
Yu s.h.i.+jin pushed the door open, scanned the living room, and his eyes darkened as they glanced at the helper. “Where’s she?”
The helper was stunned and had yet to speak.
Su Huiqing bit on a cup of milk and walked out from the kitchen.
She had changed into a set of leisure clothes—a white blouse with its sleeves rolled up, revealing a bandage that was still stained with blood.
Upon seeing him, Su Huiqing narrowed her eyes slightly, walked over, reached out, and patted his shoulder.
She looked sideways at him and smiled. “Brother Yu, I’ll remember today.”
Her eyes were simply gorgeous.
Yu s.h.i.+jin only lowered his eyes and looked over to her blood-stained bandage. His already cold eyes became even colder as he pushed her on the sofa. “Who wants you to remember—let me take a look at the wound.”
As she saw his serious expression.
Su Huiqing leaned on the sofa just like this, took her phone with her other hand, and sent Chi Yue a message.
Yu s.h.i.+jin lowered his eyes and gently applied the medicine from the doctor for her.
Very naturally, he would touch her fair arm.
They were so close that they seemed to be able to feel the sound of each other breathing.
Yu s.h.i.+jin secured the bandage and said mildly, “Done.”
“Huh?” Su Huiqing was still chatting with Chi Yue and had yet to react when she returned his gaze and uttered a word.
Initially, there was nothing. However, at this moment, her face was too close to his own. As he tried to lower his voice, Yu s.h.i.+jin felt the surrounding atmosphere freeze and a current seemed to pa.s.s through his brain.
He lowered his head and gave a peck on a corner of that fair forehead.
