nIn front of the doors to a courtyard, somewhere in Green City.

nA black car stopped at the entrance and the next moment, someone pushed open the car door and alighted.

nThe person had a tall, slender and youthful figure. With her fair fingers, she closed the car door and turned to head towards the Municipal compound.

n“Excuse me Miss, please show me your pass.” The guard said politely after stopping her.

nThis was the Municipal Military Region, not everyone could enter as they wish. Officers without their pass would also not be allowed in by the guard unless necessary.

nSu Huiqing stuck her hand into her pocket and lifted her head to look at the guard. She cast him an extremely cold gaze that saw no depth at all.

n“Hold on, I’ll make a call.” She took her phone out from her pocket.

nChu Xuning was sitting in Chu Family’s main hall when Su Huiqing called. He grabbed his jacket as he told her through the phone, “Miss Su, please pass your phone to the guard.”

nOn the sofa beside him sat Yu Shijin, who was playing chess with Old Master Chu. He paused his actions upon hearing her name.

nHe turned around and looked at Chu Xuning, questioning, “She’s here?”

nHe lifted his eyebrow slightly and his eyes resembled cold jade pieces, giving off a natural aura of coldness and nobility.

n“The guard held her back, I’m going to pick her up.” Chu Xuning grabbed his phone and got ready to leave.

nYu Shijin did not say a word. He just directly stood up and snatched Chu Xuning’s phone away, placing it to his ear. He said with a slightly cold tone, “Let her enter. Remember her face, there’s no need to stop her in the future anymore.”

nAfter giving his command, he hung up and threw a black chess piece on the table before informing, “Old Master, I’ll head out for a while.”

nHe remained calm the entire time.

nActually, it was difficult to see his expression because of his droopy eyelids.

nBut Old Master Chu and Chu Xuning clearly felt Yu Shijin’s entirely different aura from the past.

nJust after he left, someone appeared from the second floor.

n“Is Young Master Yu not here?” Chi Yue pushed his glasses and scanned the main lobby. After not spotting Yu Shijin anywhere, he threw a thumbdrive to Chu Xuning and instructed, “When he’s back, tell him that all the details I could find are in that thumbdrive.”

nAfter that, he stuck his hands in his pockets and headed out.

nChu Xuning fiddled with the thumbdrive and looked up at Chi Yue, calling out, “Wait, Mr. Chi Yue, I heard you’re returning to the Unknown Island…”

nActually, he wanted to ask Chi Yue if he knew about the current situation at the Unknown Island.

nUtter disorder mixed with countless powers.

nHe was aware that Chi Yue belonged to the Rapid Fire Mercenary Regiment, but all members of the Rapid Fire Mercenary Regiment had gone missing and only Chi Yue, the hacker, was left. If Chi Yue were to return to the Unknown Island, he would be stuck in a more dangerous predicament.

nChi Yue turned around slightly and gave Chu Xuning a relaxed smile, saying, “It’s such a pity, we used all of Rapid Fire Mercenary Regiment’s resources but still failed to stop the explosion.”

nActually, he understood what Chu Xuning wanted to say.

nBut people who never experienced staying at the Unknown Island could never understand the feeling of being connected by bloodline.

nHow could they ever relate to the heart filled with zeal after fighting bravely at the international battlefield day and night?

nHe made up his mind to not care about the Unknown Island and to not contact the Rapid Fire Mercenary Regiment.

nBut when he saw people still persevering at the Unknown Island.

nAnd after seeing the words transmitted by that person.

nThe line of defense he had put in place collapsed with a loud bang.

nOur lives shall never cease.

nOur beliefs shall never cease.

nIt’s their job to protect their Unknown Island.

nAnd wait for that person’s return.

n“I’m going to find Doctor Luxe,” Chi Yue said as he waved his hand behind him. This time, he did not turn back as he said his last words, “Oh right, I heard about what happened last night. You’re indeed a genius at explosives. If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll welcome you to our Unknown Island.”

nHe did not notice that when he turned around to leave,

nOld Master Chu had turned on the surveillance tape that the guard sent over.

n“Chi Yue is right,” Upon hearing Chi Yue’s words, he turned to look at Chu Xuning in admiration and commented. He added, “You’re improving by leaps and bounds in the military arms aspect. Those people from the Imperial Military Region called me this morning and told me that our Chu Family nurtured a talent. Stepping into the International Association will be just round the corner.”

nChu Xuning watched Chi Yue leave with his bare eyes. He did not understand Chi Yue’s first sentence, but he understood Chi Yue’s last sentence.

nThe corner of his lips twitched. He lifted his head up and looked at the scene shown on the screen.

n“Grandpa, do you know this person?” Chu Xuning asked Old Master Chu with no expression on his face as he pointed at the face on the screen.

nThe screen showed an exceptionally youthful-looking face.

nThere was a tint of callousness on her face, wasn’t that Su Huiqing?

nOld Master Chu squinted his eyes and said, “I wanted to ask you that just now, I guess this lady is the Missy of the Su Family you’ve mentioned earlier. I heard you’re planning to work with the Su Family, am I right?”

nUpon hearing this, Chu Xuning frowned as he peered at the middle-aged man standing behind Old Master Chu. He said in displeasure, “Just focus on recuperating. Who is the one spouting nonsense in front of you again?”

n“Xuning, I didn’t spout nonsense,” The middle-aged man standing behind Old Master Chu was the Deputy Regiment of Chu Family Military Region. He continued, “You’re also aware of the situation in Green City these days. Su Family’s future is not optimistic, especially Missy Su. She has a worrying record so it will be better for us to not interfere too much into the businessmen’s interests.”

n“Grandpa, do you think so too?” Chu Xuning did not reply to him instantly, instead, he turned to ask Old Master Chu.

nOld Master Chu shook his hands and said, “The reason why I was discharged from the hospital is due to this matter. But you’ve been following Young Master Yu for the past few years so I trust that you won’t be so rash in doing things. I won’t interfere in your decision.”

nHis sentence made Chu Deputy Regiment’s expression turn dark as he refuted, “Old Commander, how can you run wild with Xuning? You can’t ruin Chu Family’s route for retreat just because of a businessman, you’re also aware that those people from the capital will keep finding trouble for Chu Family!”

n“And Xuning, with that talent of yours, it won’t be a difficult task to join the International Association Power. Why do you have to interfere with the wrecked state of another family’s corporation, aren’t you ruining your own future like this?”

nChu Xuning frowned.

nSeeing how Chu Xuning treated his words indifferently, Chu Deputy Regiment was momentarily at a loss. He said, “Xuning, I’m not the only one who thinks this way, all the higher-ups came to this decision together.”

nThis time, Chu Xuning did not explain any further. He stared at Chu Deputy Regiment coldly and chided, “Ruining my own future? You guys better say that in front of Young Master Yu. As long as you guys dare to spill out a single word, the official title above your heads will come to an end!”

nThe two of them had not seen Chu Xuning in this state before.

nHis usual cynicism was missing, and so was his humble and gentle side.

nHe was filled to the brim with pressure.

nAnd a bloodthirsty aura after walking along the dangerous boundary.

n“And weren’t you guys discussing the explosive genius yesterday?” He walked to the screen and pointed at the face paused in motion. Sniggering, he said, “I can’t make explosives of that level, all those explosives are created by this one person and this person is Missy Su, whom you described to have a worrying record!”
