The Tycoon's Mysterious Darling Wife-Chapter 535 - 538. Because she is the person Shen Qinglan cares about the most.
The last thing Eden saw before he passed out was Su Qing’s face, filled with apology in her gaze.
Su Qing caught him in her arms to prevent him from falling to the ground and took him to a nearby hotel.
Su Qing quietly watched Eden lying on the bed, her eyes filled with reluctance, "Thank you for always being with me, but I’m sorry, you can’t come with me this time." This time it was a matter of life and death; she might not come back, and having Eden with her would only mean risking another life, unnecessarily.
Her hand gently touched Eden’s face, "Actually, I quite like you." She confirmed her feelings for Eden—a mild liking, far from love, and perhaps it would never reach that level. She didn’t know what it felt like for other people to like someone, but she didn’t want Eden to continue taking risks for her.
She poured a glass of water, dropped a sleeping pill into it, and then fed the water to Eden, ensuring he wouldn’t wake up for a short while.
She took one last look at Eden and resolutely left the hotel room.
Su Qing returned to the slum area of MD and stopped when she heard footsteps behind her.
As soon as she stopped, the person behind her also halted. Su Qing’s lips curved slightly as she turned to face the newcomer, "Bruce, I knew it was you."
From the moment she left the hotel, she had known she was being followed, and because she sensed no malice from her tracker, she pretended ignorance, leading them here.
Bruce stared steadfastly at Su Qing, "Why do you want to do this?" Previously, she had concealed her tracks so well that each time they had to spend a considerable amount of time finding her, and yet, this time they found her quickly—no one would believe it wasn’t intentional.
"It’s because I don’t want to hide anymore," Su Qing said with a light laugh, "I’ve had enough of this life of hiding."
"Su Qing, you are going to die," Bruce frowned, deep worry in his eyes.
If there was anyone in the base who didn’t want Su Qing to die, it certainly would be Bruce. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Su Qing smiled at Bruce, "If I were afraid of dying, I wouldn’t be standing here today." She was already prepared to die.
"Su Qing, you should go. I’ll pretend I never saw you today." Bruce still didn’t want her to go back and face her death. That man had already run out of patience, as could be seen from the increasing number of hitmen he sent each time. If Su Qing went back, even if she didn’t die, she’d barely cling to life, a fate worse than death. It would be better for her to escape now, and as long as Su Qing truly wanted to escape, that man wouldn’t be able to do much to her for a short while.
"Bruce, do you know what would happen to you if I left?" Su Qing frowned, her eyes intense.
"Su Qing, perhaps it’s a bit hypocritical of me to say this, but in my heart, you’re my friend. I don’t want to see you head towards your death. As for the boss, I’m still useful to him, he won’t kill me."
"No, Bruce, you don’t understand him well enough. That man is a demon, and the one thing he never lacks is subordinates. If you really let me go, that would be a betrayal to him. Do you think he would let you off?"
Even though she said this, Su Qing felt warmth in her heart for Bruce’s willingness to let her go. At least in this world, she still had a friend.
Bruce of course knew this, but he couldn’t bring himself to take Su Qing back.
"Other people came with you this time, didn’t they?" Su Qing asked with a smile.
"Yes, ten in total, all from the Ace Army." The Ace Army was the person’s guard team, totaling only thirty members, each one an elite. The group wasn’t adept at gathering intelligence but excelled in combat, tasked specifically with safeguarding that man’s safety.
Su Qing chuckled, realizing that this time the man truly wished to kill her, having even deployed his Ace Army.
In previous assassination attempts, he had sent ordinary personnel, which she managed to handle. It seemed less like the man was attempting to kill her and more as if he was merely toying with her.
But this time it was different, with the entire Ace Army involved, she wasn’t afraid to face them singly, as none was her match, but ten of them... her chances of winning were less than ten percent.
However, this was maybe for the best, a quick end would be a kind of release for her.
"My companion..." Su Qing began, halting mid-sentence. Bruce immediately understood, nodding, "He’s fine, the Ace Army doesn’t know his location." His deeper understanding of Su Qing had enabled him to find her before them.
Su Qing was reassured. Her ears twitched, her gaze sharpened, and suddenly a dagger appeared in her hand, which she swung at Bruce, who instinctively dodged.
"They’ve come, Bruce, and injured me," Su Qing whispered in the heat of the fray.
Bruce noticed people rapidly approaching too late to run. His eyes flashed ruthlessly as he elbowed Su Qing fiercely.
When the Ace Army arrived, they saw Bruce pinned down and beaten by Su Qing, their leader holding a gun aimed at the two still fighting.
"Su Qing, you’re surrounded, and there’s no escape now. Give up."
Su Qing coldly glanced at them, ignoring the gun in his hand, and flashed an enchanting smile, "Trying to take me, Su Qing, will depend on your own capabilities." Her movements grew even fiercer, landing an elbow on Bruce’s chest who couldn’t help but cough dully from the force. Su Qing was merciless.
A gunshot rang out. Su Qing groaned, kneeling as she was shot in the leg. She twisted, firing a bullet from her pistol, the man who had just shot at her instantly falling.
Another grunt followed; Su Qing’s gun clattered to the ground as blood dripped from her arm.
"Enough," Bruce exclaimed, covering his chest, "The boss said to keep her alive. Do you want to kill her?"
Hearing this, the leader of the Ace Army snorted coldly, staring icily at Su Qing. Although she had killed one of their own, the order was indeed to bring Su Qing back alive; killing her would be hard to explain to the boss.
With her hand and leg crippled, Su Qing was easily apprehended, leaving only a trail of blood behind.
Before leaving, Su Qing looked deeply at Bruce, who imperceptibly nodded. Her heart instantly felt lighter.
In the dim dungeon, Su Qing lay on the cold ground. The bullets had been removed from her body, but her injuries had multiplied. Apart from her face, her body was covered in marks from being whipped.
She coughed a few times, feeling pain throughout her chest. She managed a slight curl of her lips, that man indeed was ruthless, but she guessed right—he wouldn’t kill her, hadn’t even crippled her. Though battered, she suffered no fatal injuries, merely superficial wounds that would heal with time.
The room was very dim, and Su Qing couldn’t distinguish whether it was day or night, but for her it made no difference. She was already brought back to the base, so Eden must be safe, and Eden must have already woken up by now, able to move freely, which meant he was even less likely to be in danger.
Ah, what a pity, she had rarely felt her heart stir for a man.
Eden just flashed through Su Qing’s mind before the image was quickly replaced by Shen Qinglan. After leaving Nancheng, she had actually made a trip to Beijing and secretly watched Shen Qinglan from a distance. At that time, Shen Qinglan had just been discharged from the hospital, wrapped up tightly, with Fu Hengyi by her side. They each held a child in their arms, and Shen Qinglan’s eldest son, Anan, was tugging at the corner of Shen Qinglan’s clothes. Su Qing didn’t know what Anan had said, but Shen Qinglan’s face was filled with a tender smile, radiating maternal warmth.
She had only looked for a moment before averting her gaze, yet she nearly got caught by Shen Qinglan. She chuckled softly; even after all these years, Shen Qinglan’s senses were still sharp. It was no wonder she had once been known as the most fearsome assassin.
She remembered the first time she met Shen Qinglan, so well-behaved, so pretty, like a doll. Especially those eyes—fearful, yet clear and pure, obviously raised in a happy family environment. She supposed her fondness for Shen Qinglan stemmed from that purity in her eyes. She wanted to preserve that purity, though she also knew that in such a place, that purity couldn’t exist for long.
But life always needs some hope, right? Plus, Su Qing wanted to know if the little warmth she could provide might help the girl maintain a glimmer of hope, to keep her heart toward the light, even in hell.
And Shen Qinglan indeed had not disappointed her.
People say that those with a kind heart are often lucky; perhaps it was true. Shen Qinglan was the lucky one, encountering Allen. Although Allen was a monster without humanity, he had a special affection for Shen Qinglan, even willing to trade the entire base for her freedom.
In the dark, the sound of footsteps echoed, neither light nor heavy, neither hurried nor slow. Su Qing pulled her thoughts back, listening to the footsteps outside the door, a cold light flashed in her eyes, her face expressionless.
The dungeon door opened, and a tall figure appeared before her, the man looking down at her, "Su Qing, do you realize your mistake?"
Su Qing remained silent, turning away her head.
Seeing this, the man crouched down, grabbing her chin to force her to meet his eyes, "Gone wild for a while, and now you’ve truly become wild, not even listening to me anymore."
Su Qing’s chin hurt from his grip, yet she seemed to feel nothing, coldly staring at the man before her, "Why don’t you just kill me? You know, given the chance, I would not hesitate to kill you."
"Hmm, I’m well aware. You’ve wanted to kill me for a long time, but over the years, have you succeeded? Su Qing, you’re a smart person, you know how to choose what’s best for yourself. Of course, if you could kill me, you’re welcome to try any time. Dying by your hand, I would actually be pleased."
"Lawrence, believe me, if you don’t kill me now, you’ll be the one dying later," Su Qing said calmly, as if stating a fact.
Lawrence smiled, his grip tightening, "When did you learn to talk tough? Su Qing, darling, if you don’t obey, there will be consequences."
A look of disgust flashed across Su Qing’s emotionless face, "Don’t call me darling. I might throw up."
Lawrence’s eyes narrowed slightly, the smile on his lips grew thicker, his other hand reached for the gunshot wound on her leg and pressed down hard. Su Qing’s face turned even paler, "Su Qing, don’t try to provoke me, you can’t afford the consequences."
Blood flowed out in an instant, and Lawrence withdrew his hand, his fingers stained with Su Qing’s blood. He looked at it, brought it to his lips, and lightly licked it with his tongue, squinting slightly, a look of enjoyment on his face, "Hmm, tastes good."
Su Qing turned her head away in disgust, this man was undoubtedly the most disgusting man she had ever met.
Lawrence’s expression cooled slightly, then he chuckled lightly, "How could I forget? You don’t like this. Alright, I was wrong just now. Su Qing, you know what I want. Be a good girl and listen, and I’ll give you everything you want," he coaxed.
Su Qing was utterly unaffected by him, glaring coldly as she spoke, "I’d rather you kill me."
Lawrence shook his finger, "How could I bear to kill you? I’ve put so much effort into making you so outstanding. You fascinate me so much, I want to possess you. Killing you would be like ripping out my own heart. Su Qing, remember, you are mine. Even in death, you can only die under me."
Su Qing felt like vomiting, "Stop disgusting me, just get out."
But Lawrence did not leave; instead, he clapped his hands. Someone came in from outside, carrying a medical kit. Without looking around, the person set down the box and left.
Lawrence leisurely took out gauze and alcohol from the box, "You’re hurt, let me dress your wounds first, then I’ll leave."
Su Qing shifted her body, moving away slightly, "No need. Don’t touch me with your filthy hands."
Lawrence’s expression chilled, a flash of anger crossing his eyes, "Su Qing, don’t try to anger me. I won’t kill you, but that doesn’t mean I won’t kill Bruce or that man who’s with you. What’s his name again?"
Lawrence feigned deep thought, then finally uttered a name, "Eden, it’s Eden, right?"
Su Qing’s expression changed slightly, "If you dare hurt them, I’ll kill myself now. Then you’ll lose everything."
"Don’t threaten me with your death," Lawrence said as he gently caressed Su Qing’s face. "If you kill yourself, they will be sent to Hell to join you the next second." His gaze lingered adoringly on her face.
Deep inside, Su Qing felt a surge of relief, thankful that Lawrence didn’t know about her relationship with Shen Qinglan. If Lawrence discovered Shen Qinglan’s existence, it would definitely bring great trouble to Shen Qinglan.
Now was not the time to anger Lawrence, so Su Qing remained silent, letting him apply the medicine.
Her clothes were torn open by Lawrence and tossed aside. A look of disgust flashed in Su Qing’s eyes. She closed her eyes, but the lack of vision only heightened her sensitivity to touch. She could feel those hands brushing over her body, causing her stomach to violently churn. She felt nauseous; she wanted to chop off those hands, and even more so, she wanted to chop up their owner into pieces.
The alcohol stung her wounds, bringing waves of sharp pain, but Su Qing lay there expressionless as if she felt no pain at all.
Lawrence looked at Su Qing’s body, his gaze becoming dreamy, truly a perfect work of art.
Finally done with the medication, Lawrence removed his own shirt and draped it over Su Qing, "Think carefully about what you should choose before your wounds heal. I’m waiting for your answer, Su Qing. This is the last time. Do not disappoint me, or you know what I’m capable of."
Lawrence then left, leaving her alone in the dungeon. Su Qing tugged on the shirt on her body, her gaze full of disgust, yet she had no choice but to wear it. Perhaps there really was only one way out, she thought.
Her hand gently caressed her own face, hating it; it was this face that made Lawrence so crazed. She didn’t know why Lawrence wanted to turn her into this guise, just knowing that a woman with such a face was very important to Lawrence.
She had thought about destroying her face, but Lawrence had said if she dared damage it, then all those associated with her, including Bruce, his capable right-hand man, would be buried with her. Lawrence was a being colder and more ruthless than Allen because he had no weaknesses. A person without weaknesses can hardly be called human anymore.
She wondered how Eden was now, Su Qing thought faintly as she lay back down on the ground. The cold touch of the floor slightly quelled the raging fire inside her.
Then came more footsteps, slightly lighter and more urgent than before. Su Qing opened her eyes, saw who it was, and relaxed instantly, "How did you get here? Aren’t you afraid of him finding out?"
Bruce stared intently at Su Qing, "Are you okay?"
Su Qing smiled indifferently, "Do I look like I’m in trouble? He won’t kill me, you know that. But what about you? Did he cause you any trouble?"
Bruce sat down opposite Su Qing, "He did not trouble me."
Su Qing’s nostrils fluttered and her brow furrowed, "Are you hurt?" There was a faint smell of blood on Bruce.
"It’s not a big injury; it will heal with some care. I’ve already applied medicine," Bruce replied. "But how about your injuries?" When Su Qing was beaten, he could only stand aside helplessly and watch; if he dared make any move, he would only meet punishment, and Su Qing’s would be even harsher.
"Lawrence just left," Su Qing noted.
Immediately, Bruce understood that Su Qing’s injuries had been treated, "What do you plan to do next?"
Su Qing slightly lowered her eyes, concealing the expression within, "What can I do? Remain a prisoner, wait until Lawrence is in a good mood to let me out, then continue to serve him. Isn’t that my fate?"
"Su Qing, I’m asking you seriously. I’m not his spy either, so don’t brush me off with that kind of answer. I know you must have your own plans. I just want to help you."
Su Qing looked up at him, her smile faint, "Bruce, actually I’ve always wanted to ask you one thing: why do you want to help me? Or rather, what do you hope to gain from me?"
She did not trust anyone in the base. Years of immersion had made it clear that people here were like machines, devoid of humanity. Everyone was cold and ruthless, with only exploitation and gain in their hearts. Oh, not everyone—this man in front of her was an exception, but this little sentiment was well concealed by her.
It was for Bruce’s protection—at least he wouldn’t be targeted by Lawrence because of this.
Bruce’s expression darkened slightly, "If I say I consider you a friend and that’s why I want to help you, would you believe me?"
Su Qing chuckled lightly, "Are there friends here?"
"Su Qing, is it really so difficult to gain a bit of your trust? I truly see you only as a friend. Because you have saved my life numerous times."
"That was the mission. Trust me, Bruce, if you weren’t my partner, even if you were dying right in front of me, I wouldn’t save you," Su Qing said heartlessly. The upcoming tasks had to be done alone. More participants meant more danger, and she didn’t want Bruce involved, even if they were friends, they weren’t that close.
Bruce gazed at her steadfastly, his eyes hurt. This was the first person he considered a friend, yet she was pushing him away harshly.
"Bruce, you should leave. You know that Lawrence does not like anyone getting too close to me. If he finds out about you meeting me secretly, it will only bring endless trouble. I’m already covered in injuries; I don’t want to be beaten up again."
Bruce’s body stiffened, his gaze falling on Su Qing’s face, trying to find any trace of deception, but in the end, he could not discern anything. He looked down, "Okay, I’ll leave. But Su Qing, whether you consider me a friend or not, I will always see you as my only friend. If you ever need help, just ask, even if it costs me my life."
Without waiting for Su Qing’s response, he got up and left.
Listening to the sound of footsteps gradually fading away, Su Qing gazed fixedly at the ceiling, took a deep sigh, and the smile on her lips was warm.
In the following days, apart from the maid who delivered her meals and changed her bandages, no one approached Su Qing.
Seven days later, Su Qing’s injuries had largely healed. She spoke to the maid who brought her food, "Tell Lawrence, I want to see him."
The maid said nothing, only nodded and set down the food before leaving.
Not long after, Lawrence appeared in the dungeon.
He looked down at Su Qing from above, "Have you thought it through?"
Su Qing nodded and gestured for Lawrence to sit, "Let’s talk."
Lawrence chuckled softly and sat opposite Su Qing, resting his chin on his hand and watching her with a smile, "Go on, what would you like to discuss? However, I am in a good mood today. If you intend to say something that could spoil that, I’d advise you to keep quiet."
Su Qing, biting into her bread, never allowed herself to go hungry, regardless of the circumstances. After finishing the bread, she finally spoke, "I’ve thought it through. I can agree to continue serving you and promise not to think about leaving, but there’s one thing I want to know."
"What is it, you tell me." Lawrence was in a good mood, satisfied with Su Qing’s response and didn’t mind accommodating some of her minor requests.
"I want to know whose face this really is, and what relationship that person has with you?"
Lawrence’s face darkened instantly as he coldly fixed his eyes on Su Qing, "That’s none of your business, and you don’t need to know."
Su Qing wasn’t intimidated by his demeanor; instead, she laughed, "Now that it’s my face, I believe I have the right to know who the original owner was, right? It would be quite awkward if someone approached me claiming to recognize me." Her flippant speculation only seemed to darken Lawrence’s mood, his aura growing increasingly cold.
Su Qing laughed heartily, "Such a strong reaction, it seems this person must indeed be very important to you. Let me guess, she was your first love who either passed away due to illness or betrayed you for someone else. You love her yet you hate her, which is why you made me look like her, to console your unrequited love. Or perhaps, she was an important family member who passed away, and you couldn’t accept her death, so you created a fake face to keep by your side, as a memento. Am I right?"
At some point, Su Qing had moved next to Lawrence, her hand resting on his shoulder, gently caressing it, her tone soft.
But Lawrence suddenly grabbed her neck, pulling her face close to his, his eyes dark and menacing, "Don’t try to provoke me, and don’t make wild guesses, Su Qing. I like obedient women and hate it when others test my boundaries. You must never cross my line, or even if you wear that face, I will still kill you."
Su Qing was not frightened by his threat; she was testing his limits. With a light smile, she said, "If you can bear it, go ahead and kill me; my life was saved by you, giving it back to you means nothing. But from your reaction, my guess was probably correct, wasn’t it? I just don’t know whether it’s a relative or a lover?"
The aura around Lawrence instantly grew even darker, his gaze at Su Qing as if looking at a dead person. His grip tightened, but Su Qing didn’t struggle, just calmly met his gaze, her eyes mocking.
Just as Su Qing expected Lawrence to strangle her, he suddenly threw her to the ground and released her, "Su Qing, don’t be too clever." His aura quickly withdrew, as if the person who had just been raging was not him.
Su Qing lay on the ground, coughing violently, looking at him, "Lawrence, if I were to ruin this face, what would you do? Would it kill you with anger?" Perhaps amused by her own thoughts, Su Qing started laughing.
At this, rage flared in Lawrence’s eyes; he swiftly flipped over, pinning Su Qing beneath him, seizing her chin and pressing a kiss onto her. Su Qing, with a look of disgust, frowned and lifted her foot to kick Lawrence, but he caught her leg.
With a swift movement, she struck at Lawrence’s temple. Lawrence had to release her chin to block her strike, and the two immediately grappled, tumbling around the dungeon floor. However, Su Qing had been shot in both her hand and leg, and her injuries had not fully healed, quickly causing her to be overpowered. A spinning kick from Lawrence slammed Su Qing against the wall, and in that moment, she felt all her internal organs shift. She knelt on one knee, clutching her abdomen; Lawrence’s kick had been merciless.
Su Qing’s mouth was covered in blood, making her already pale face even paler.
Lawrence grabbed Su Qing’s hair forcefully, making her lift her head, "Su Qing, this is the last time, don’t provoke me again, and don’t anger me. If there’s a next time, you can go die."
Su Qing was thrown to the ground by him, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood. She was sure that her organs were definitely bleeding. This Lawrence was simply a madman, but today’s probe was not without gains, as she had noticed something from his reactions earlier.
Lawrence watched Su Qing spit blood without any reaction; however, a doctor soon came in to tend to her wounds after he left, and then she was taken back to her room.
Bruce knew that Su Qing had come out of the dungeon and wanted to find an opportunity to see her but found that there were guards around her room. He couldn’t even get in, let alone meet her, and it was even hard to covertly send messages.
Su Qing was under house arrest, only having contact with the maid who brought food and the doctors. Even Lawrence hadn’t appeared in front of her for a long time.
Her organs had indeed bled due to Lawrence’s beating, but the situation was not too severe. After some time and treatment, she had almost recovered, even her gunshot wound.
Su Qing remained under house arrest, with Lawrence seemingly vanished from the face of the earth. She couldn’t go out and had no idea what was happening outside.
**
After Eden woke up in the hotel room and didn’t see Su Qing, and couldn’t reach her on her phone, he knew she must have gone back to the base.
This damn woman really didn’t value her own life, actually daring to take risks alone. Eden was anxious, but he only knew of the organization’s existence from what Su Qing had mentioned, and had no idea where their base was located. Even if he wanted to find it, he wouldn’t know where to start.
He never considered reaching out to Shen Qinglan and Jin Enxi, as they now had their own lives and happiness, and he didn’t want to drag them back into these affairs.
Eden thought for a while and a name came to mind; perhaps now he could only seek him out.
Allen looked at Eden appearing before him, his expression indifferent, "What makes you think I would help you find someone?" He was somewhat incredulous that Eden would come to him for help, especially to find someone unrelated to Shen Qinglan.
Eden perceived his thoughts and spoke soothingly, "What if she is the person Shen Qinglan cares about the most?"
Allen raised an eyebrow, "Continue, if you can convince me, I will help you."
"Su Qing is actually Qin Mu who supposedly died years ago. She didn’t die, but was rescued, and later appeared by Qinglan’s side, helping Qinglan on several occasions."
Su Qing is Qin Mu? Allen furrowed his brows; he was familiar with the name Qin Mu since it was someone Shen Qinglan held dear in her heart.
"Su Qing is Qin Mu, where’s the proof?" He found it hard to believe that someone who had been dead for twenty years was still alive without sufficient evidence.
"It was Qinglan who first guessed this, otherwise do you think she would easily trust someone based on her personality? When we went to rescue Ya Xi from Qin Yan’s place, Su Qing also made a significant effort."
Allen frowned; indeed, as Eden said, although Su Qing had not interacted much with Shen Qinglan, there was an unspoken understanding between them, something he had noticed during that rescue.
"Even if Su Qing isn’t Qin Mu, she is Qinglan’s friend and has helped her many times. Previously, when Qinglan contracted a virus, she risked her life to accompany me into the Primordial Forest to find medicine, and that’s an indisputable fact. What I need now is just the location of that base, the rest I will figure out on my own on how to rescue her.
"You’ve successfully convinced me, but I have one condition, you can’t tell Xiaoqi about this, not a single word, can you do that?"
Eden had not planned to tell Shen Qinglan anyway, so he readily agreed, "Sure."
Though Allen agreed to help him find the organization’s headquarters, it was a group hidden in the shadows for many years, specializing in intelligence, and not easy to investigate.
Eden wanted to buy information from the streets but was worried about being detected by the opponent, hence he could only wait.
Su Qing, you must hold on, at least until I come to rescue you.
"Allen, you shouldn’t have waded into these muddy waters. Do you know what this organization does? If we offend it, with our current strength, we will end up with endless troubles," Peter said, somewhat frustrated. Whenever it was anything related to Shen Qinglan, Allen would lose his rationality.
Allen responded coolly, "This is decided. Maybe there will be some minor troubles, but I know what I need to do."
Peter spat blood, You know what ’P,’ and still call it minor troubles? Anything involving Shen Qinglan, no matter how big, seems minor to you.
He was sure, though Allen hadn’t said it yet, he would definitely end up going to help with the rescue.
Peter knew it was useless to say more, so he chose not to waste his breath and simply said, "If you dare to take risks personally this time, I definitely won’t save you again." Each time he wouldn’t rest until he was half dead; it was really taxing for him as his doctor and friend.
"She isn’t worth me doing so," Allen said coldly.
Hearing this, Peter immediately felt relieved. As for other troubles, they would deal with them later.
After waiting for three days without any news, Eden knew that it would not be easy to find the information. Instead of just waiting, he decided to make some other preparations.
Over the years, he had saved many people, including some big shots from the underworld, whose favors he had never called in. This time, they could be put to use; thinking this, Eden started making calls one by one.
Eden was a genius doctor with superb medical skills. Such a person would not easily be offended by those in the underworld. After all, no one could guarantee they would never fall ill. Befriending a doctor sometimes meant securing a lifeline for themselves, so when Eden asked for help, he was mostly not turned down. However, a few did refuse. Though Eden said nothing on the spot, he marked them in his blacklist, meaning they could forget about him coming to their aid in the future.
"Found it yet?" Allen asked. It had been more than a week, and if they couldn’t find it soon, this team might as well be reshaped.
"We’ve found it."
"Then let Eden know."
Knowing the location had been found, Eden felt half his burden lifted. Su Qing, I’m coming to save you, you must stay alive.
