nSu Huiqing left after receiving that call.

nHer expression was grim when she turned to leave.

nYu Shijin was still sitting on the sofa. He put down the newspapers.

nAfter being deep in thought for a second, he called Chu Xuning on the phone. “Where are you guys?”

n“Master Yu, chief detective, the men and I are all guarding the borders of Green City. Our intelligence network detected that there were several groups of unidentified persons who had arrived at Green City. They all came from the International Association.” Chu Xuning reported succinctly. “I have already sent you the details.”

nYu Shijin’s eyes hardened. He stood up and instructed as he headed outside. “Have everyone gathered at the military base. I am going over now.”

nHe strode out the door after exchanging some greetings with Uncle Chen.

nThe information sent over by Chu Xuning was already on his cell phone.

nAfter reading through it, his lowered eyes were sharp and hostile.

nHe put on his bluetooth earpiece and started the car.

n“They also switched my grandpa’s medication.” Chu Xuning took a deep breath. “Master Yu, who the hell are these people?!”

nFor the first time in so many years, Chu Xuning felt useless and vulnerable.

nGreen City would be ravaged if they didn’t have Yu Shijin.

n“Who are these people?” Yu Shijin gave a vicious laugh as he steered the car onto the highway. “They are just some folks who think that I am not in Green City, and so they can create havoc here.”

nUnfortunately, those people never expected him to return so soon.

nThe weather today was not too good.

nIt was still sunny in the morning but started raining in the afternoon, a drizzle gradually turning into a downpour.

nSu Huiqing sent a message to Yu Xiangyang: Hurry home now.

nToday was Grandpa Yu’s birthday. Yu Xiangyang was sent by her to handle the military firearms with Su Chu. According to her estimates, he should be able to rush back by midday.

nHowever, Su Huiqing received a phone call from the Yu Family that Grandpa Yu was missing!

nSilence fell across the crowd.

nSu Huiqing opened the car door.

nThe Su Family escort guards—half of them went with Su Chu to settle the military firearms, while the other half followed her here.

nGu Li and Qu Yan also rushed over on receiving the news.

nA person held a black umbrella over her head.

nIt was supposed to be a joyous birthday celebration for the Yu Family, but the guest-of-honor Grandpa Yu was missing. All that was left behind was a puddle of blood and a dagger in the study. Everything had descended in chaos.

nSomeone had gone to the study to film a video for the occasion, only to discover the terrible scene.

nThe Yu Family was in a complete fluster and failed to control the crowd.

nSu Huiqing brought over a bunch of people to manage the situation.

nThe guests were all people in positions of high power, and would never stand for being rounded up in this manner.

n“Who do you think you are? How dare you try to stop me?” One person bustled forward arrogantly, trying to force his way out.

nSu Huiqing lifted her eyes. Her usual nonchalance was nowhere in sight, instead her face was cold and stony.

nShe didn’t have time to waste explaining, and so just drew out a weapon from her pocket and pointed the gun straight at the person’s temple. “Be obedient if you wish to live.”

nFollowing that, the escort guards who had come with her all drew out their weapons.

nThe firearms were those she had traded with Apollo.

n“Today is a joyous celebration so I don’t wish to see any blood. The Su Family will personally apologize after the investigation is completed.” She put down her weapon when she saw that the person had backed down.

nShe then turned and glanced at Father Yu. “Lead me upstairs.”

nIt was broad daylight. How did Grandpa Yu disappear?

nThere was no way Su Huiqing would believe there was no treachery involved.

nUpstairs in the study.

nSu Huiqing surveyed the room. It was in a complete mess. She saw the dagger driven all the way into the wall.

n“Has anyone touched this?” Su Huiqing looked at Father Yu.

nSu Huiqing was still a fresh and youthful high school student the previous time she visited the Yu Family residence.

nThis time, she had morphed into a fiercely capable female mercenary. Father Yu was beyond shocked. “No, I didn’t allow anyone to enter.”

nSu Huiqing nodded. She reached out and easily plucked the dagger from the wall.

nThere was a piece of paper attached to the dagger.

nSu Huiqing opened it and read the note with lowered eyes. She then pulled her hood over her head and shoved her hands into her pockets. “You guys wait here. We will go find Grandpa Yu.”

nJust as they prepared to leave, Yu Xiangyang rushed up the stairs.

nFather Yu wanted to ask what could this bunch of half-grown kids do?

nBut before he could say anything, he saw Yu Xiangyang easily leaping off from the second floor onto the first, before agilely hopping into Su Huiqing’s car. His smooth and athletic movements were completely different from the son he knew.

nHe then turned and observed the few escort guards whom Su Huiqing had left behind. They each wielded a long-barreled gun, keeping everyone in the hall firmly in check.

nThey looked extremely confident and formidable.

nSu Huiqing distributed communication devices to her men, before putting on her own earpiece.

nVery early on, Grandpa Yu had revealed the link between the Yu Family and the International Association.

nEver since, she had been making the necessary preparations—firearms, the escort guards, as well as enhancing the powers of Yu Xiangyang and the gang.

nBut things had developed faster than she expected.

n“Qingqing, which family from the International Association are we fighting against this time?” Qu Yan asked gravely.

nSu Huiqing gazed at the rain on the other side of the car window. Her brows were straight and resolute. “It’s not just one particular family.”

nThat’s right. Apart from the family who had been targeting the Yu Family, there was also Yu Shijin.

nSu Huiqing didn’t know what role would Yu Shijin play in this situation.

nBut she would never let off the bunch of people who had kidnapped Grandpa Yu. She would never just hand off those folks to Yu Shijin or the International Association.

nHe had to consider Green City and the International Association, while she only cared about the Yu Family.

nIt was inevitable the two of them would be standing on opposing sides this time.

nSo she had no choice but to face off Yu Shijin.

nThe car arrived at their destination.

nSu Huiqing tugged at her hood and alighted.

nThe black umbrella opened above her head, sending a flurry of water droplets to the surroundings.

nYu Shijin didn’t know what Su Huiqing was thinking about now. He narrowed his eyes on the chief detective. “Did you say that national route 13 suddenly collapsed?

nChief detective nodded.

nYu Shijin didn’t speak again, but just watched the video footage sent over.

nFrom the image of that wreckage, it was clearly not caused by any natural disaster.

nNo matter how he looked at it, the style of the destruction looked somewhat familiar.

nYu Shijin lowered his eyes as his long finger swipe the screen. After a moment, he suddenly chuckled.

nInside the International Association, nearly everyone bemoaned the fact that it was impossible to have two mighty leaders coexisting peacefully.

nBut unexpectedly, these two kings would be facing off for the first time—under another identity and another method.
