Chapter 200: It’s Useless To Curry Favor With Me
The duplex apartment.
Su Huiqing propped one arm against the back of the chair, as she read through the information.
These documents had just been delivered by Uncle Chen. It concerned everything about the peripheral business district, as well as the Su Corporation’s current status.
There was no shredder in the room.
After reading through everything, she glanced at Empress Su, who was lazing by the side. She casually mentioned. “Come and light a fire. Burn everything.”
Empress Su was licking its pale red paws.
On hearing her words, its shining eyes widened slightly, before it stiffly lifted its paws.
Sizzle…
The pile of documents started to burn, the flames engulfing everything within seconds. The brilliant flames lit up Su Huiqing’s face, giving her a devilish glow.
The fire then gradually grew smaller.
“Miss Su, Mr. Chief Detective is looking for you.” Uncle Chen knocked on the door.
“I’ll be right out.” Su Huiqing answered as she narrowed her eyes.
Chief detective? Why was he looking for her?
She casually stamped out the lingering sparks before fastening the sash across her bathrobe. She then took up her cell phone and went down.
The Chief detective was quite familiar with Uncle Chen.
They two of them sat chatting on the sofa.
Su Huiqing sat opposite them and propped up her legs lazily on a side table. She rested her chin on the one hand and tapped on the table with the other. She glanced over and smiled wickedly. “What brings you here?”
She had just bathed.
Her eyes were sparkling.
Chief detective was stunned a moment before recalling his business. “Ms Su, boss wanted me to give you these.”
He had a very serious expression on his face.
She stopped tapping the table.
Su Huiqing glanced at the items placed on the table, her previously nonchalant face also turning solemn. She leaned back and looked at the chief detective via narrowed eyes. “Bring them back.”
“Huh? I can’t, boss will break my legs.” Chief detective immediately waved his hands about, his face full of shock.
Su Huiqing shot him a look and repeated. “Bring them back.”
Three simple words spoken very calmly.
She leaned back on the sofa, her eyes glittering.
Even though she was smiling and her expression clear, one could not overlook the chilliness emanating from her body.
And that subtle blood-tinged scent.
Chief detective immediately retrieved those three items. He suddenly felt that this Su Huiqing was a good match for Boss Yu.
He carried the items, all with their packaging seals still intact, out of the Su Family residence. There was a hint of bitter mirth in his eyes.
Inside the house.
Su Huiqing stood up and typed a message into her cell phone. She slowly made her way upstairs.
Purple sun herb.
It was too precious.
She did need those items, but she could find them herself. This was because some things could never be returned once accepted.
Su Huiqing pushed open the door.
A shadow suddenly scurried out, pressing a weapon against her neck!
Without a change in expression, Su Huiqing just lifted one leg in a perfect arc.
“Looks like we need to enhance the security system here.” Su Huiqing finished typing her message and sent it before glancing up at the person sprawled on the floor.
Apollo held one hand against his head as he crawled up from the ground. “King, you know that even the most advanced security systems can’t keep me out.”
Su Huiqing glanced at him but remained silent. She just plopped down on her computer chair.
Hand on the keyboard, she started typing away.
Apollo saw the revolving 3D drawing of a bomb and knew what she was doing. He glanced sideways at some bits of paper which had not finished burning. Curious, he bent over and picked them up.
“Tsk, Master Chen?” He scanned through the contents and snorted. “Why are you allowing such a person to continue living?”
“You don’t need to bother about my affairs.” Su Huiqing pressed the “enter” key firmly!
The 3D image exploded!
Although it was just a simulation, Apollo was still shocked by the sight. Even after so many years, Apollo had never met anyone else who was better than Su Huiqing at creating firearms.
Su Huiqing closed her laptop. “What do you want? Speak.”
Apollo turned serious. “The commander-in-chief of Country H is dead.”
Su Huiqing lifted her eyes and stared at Apollo.
Her question was clear. What did the death of Country H’s commander-in-chief have to do with her?
“Come look for me again when Country M’s commander-in-chief dies.” Su Huiqing smirked. “After all, I have been good friends with him for many years.”
Country H?
What was that?
Apollo remained unsmiling. He just stared at Su Huiqing, those golden eyes more serious than they had ever been before. “The evidence left behind all pointed to the mercenary Su S.”
Su Huiqing’s smile also slowly faded.
She had been at the International Association the entire time.
How could she have travelled halfway around the globe to murder someone in Country H.
“Apollo, write down everything you know and email it to me.” Su Huiqing brushed back her black hair. Her eyes were cold. “Also, tell Dugu Yusheng that I want to meet him tomorrow.”
“I know.” Apollo was about to leave through the window from which he came when he paused and smiled at Su Huiqing. “King, it seems like even a fake you can shake up the entire International Association.”
The late Queen of Mercenaries had been resurrected? The very person who had once dominated the International Association?
This was a major shock to the top echelons of the International Association.
—
Su Huiqing was preparing to go to Monster University.
She was going to apply for another day’s leave from the counsellor.
She had to meet Dugu Yusheng.
Just as she was about to leave, her cell phone rang. It was Xie Zhengyuan.
Su Huiqing picked up the call. “Speak.”
“I just had a business meeting with Director Su. A car came by and took her away. If I am not wrong, that car belongs to the Dugu Family.” Xie Zhengyuan’s voice was very grave.
Su Huiqing paused.
She disconnected the call before dialling Su Ruohua’s number.
It was cut off on the first ring.
Su Ruohua would never cut off her call. If she had to because of special circumstances, she would always send her a message to explain.
This situation…
It was clear that she had been kidnapped.
Su Huiqing smirked coldly. She sent a message to Chi Yue. “Help me track this number.
Meanwhile, at a high-class restaurant at the International Association.
The Dugu Family matriarch was staring disdainfully at the woman before her. She said in an indifferent manner, “Sit.”
Su Ruohua sat facing her, her posture graceful and elegant. Even though she had been forcibly taken here, she remained calm and unflustered. “Why did Madam bring me here?”
“Nothing much. Do you know who I am?” The Dugu Family matriarch sized up Su Ruohua.
“No.” Su Ruohua shook her head.
“I am Dugu Heng’s mother.” The Dugu Family matriarch glared at Su Ruohua harshly.
Su Ruohua was momentarily taken aback.
Noting her reaction, the Dugu Family matriarch smirked condescendingly. “I heard that you have a daughter?”
Su Ruohua’s face stiffened. “If there is nothing else, I will make a move first.”
“Su Ruohua, I am sure you already know the background of the Dugu Family. You should be more aware of your own status. A divorcee with a 20 year old daughter who still wishes to ascend the skies? A person must always know her place. Don’t covet things that can never belong to you.” The Dugu Family matriarch took out a piece of tissue paper and wiped her hands. She then looked at Su Ruohua in disgust. “You are a divorcee who had a child out of wedlock. A shameless hussy like you can never be good enough for my son. If you know what’s good for you, leave the International Association with that daughter of yours. Otherwise, I will make sure you regret it.”
At this moment.
The door to the private room opened with a bang.
“Say that again?” A cool, clear voice sounded out.
Everyone turned in the direction of that voice.
A figure walked over slowly, one hand in her pocket, the other holding her cell phone. Her black hair flowed softly in the breeze.
Black eyes. Black hair.
That lovely face with striking similarities to Su Ruohua.
The Dugu Family matriarch narrowed her eyes at Su Huiqing before pointing scornfully at Su Ruohua. “Is this your bastard child? So revolting. Just as well. Take this bastard child of yours now and leave the International Association immediately!”
“Madam Dugu.” Su Huiqing gave her a warm smile.
The Dugu Family matriarch looked at her with derision. “It’s useless of you to curry favor with me now…”
With one hand still in her pocket, Su Huiqing bent over slightly and picked up a glass of red wine from the table. She then smashed the entire glass right into the Dugu Family matriarch’s face!
