Shadow Heir II: Dark Glory - Chapter 52

Su Wuji knew that Li Zunyang’s behind-the-scenes boss had already noticed Xu Jiayan and himself. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have arranged for his secretary to pick them up. However, the method of picking them up was a bit too impolite. As a response, Su Wuji had let them have a little something extra to eat in the sewer.

“It’s already dark; aren’t you leaving?” Xu Jiayan leaned lazily against the headboard. “Aren’t you afraid I’ll eat you up tonight?”

She had already changed into her pajamas. The white silk nightgown clung smoothly to her body, and she wore no restrictive clothing underneath. Her already breathtaking curves now possessed a visual softness. With just a slight movement, those lines came alive, like flowing lake water, truly a water doll, inside and out.

Frankly speaking, if Xu Jiayan in this state really wanted to “eat” Su Wuji… Su, the virgin, might not even last eighty-eight seconds.

Su Wuji said grumpily, “Don’t you know why I’m not leaving?”

Xu Jiayan shook her head. “Even if Li Zunyang’s backer comes to trouble me, he’ll do it within the rules. Besides, he’s in the system and has a sensitive identity. He can’t openly act recklessly.”

“That’s not what I’m worried about,” Su Wuji sneered.

Xu Jiayan tossed her phone directly to Su Wuji. “Look at the messages inside. Even Silver Moon has asked me to postpone the mission.”

She had no intention of hiding these secret organizational orders from Su Wuji.

Su Wuji just glanced at it and threw the phone back. In fact, he had known about this message even earlier than Xu Jiayan!

“Even if Silver Moon orders a postponement, can you honestly stay put?” Su Wuji raised an eyebrow and asked.

Xu Jiayan lifted the sheet covering her. The white glow of her abdomen and legs was exposed to Su Wuji’s eyes. The hem of the nightgown only covered the upper half of her thighs, and the secret garden seemed faintly visible.

“We’re just talking; what are you doing?” Su Wuji said irritably. What do you mean by flirting with me from several meters away? Can’t you just pounce on me directly?

Xu Jiayan crossed her long legs. “Look, I’m so weak that even Li Yaoshuo could easily pull me to the ground. What else can I do?”

Su Wuji: “You lifted the covers just to show you’re weak?”

“No, I did it to show I’m sexy.” Xu Jiayan stared at Su Wuji, blinking with a smile. “You’re blushing.”

Su Wuji got up and walked away. “Can’t be bothered with you. Leaving now.” If he left any later, he was really afraid his “brother” wouldn’t let him stand up straight.

Xu Jiayan laughed uncontrollably, her pure white flesh trembling all over.

However, when the door closed, Xu Jiayan stopped smiling and said softly, “That’s the Western Dark World. I really don’t want you to get involved.”

Su Wuji actually didn’t know that back in the director’s office, when Li Yaoshuo pulled Xu Jiayan to the ground, she had done it on purpose, just to show how weak she was. Otherwise, even with internal injuries, Xu Jiayan could have killed ten Li Yaoshuos on the spot.

She got up from the bed, took off her nightgown, and found a black bodysuit from a box under the bed. After putting it on, Xu Jiayan turned on her phone and sent a voice message: “Logistician, this is Guanzhi. I need you to provide a sniper rifle and hack into Zhuo Sixuan’s phone. I want to check all his chat records and whereabouts.”

The other side replied quickly: “Hangxing Security Company has intervened, and the Dkaro Organization has also activated high-level hunters. due to the significant increase in mission difficulty, the Mission Officer has postponed the mission indefinitely.”

The voice clearly used a voice changer, making it impossible to distinguish gender.

Xu Jiayan said, “Whether the mission proceeds or not is not for the Logistician to question. You just need to provide the equipment.”

“As a Logistician, I still want to give you a friendly reminder. If you use a sniper rifle in China, you must have a foolproof escape route planned for yourself.”

Xu Jiayan: “Thanks for the friendly reminder. It’s a pity I don’t know your real identity, or I’d definitely treat you to a meal.”

A few minutes later, the other side said, “No need. I’m not interested in eating with someone like you who actively seeks death. In half an hour, go to the recycling station at the southeast corner of Baoli International. Pick up the equipment in the second green trash can.”

Xu Jiayan: “Thanks.”

The Logistician added, “Don’t die too soon.”

Xu Jiayan put away her phone, looked at the night outside the window, and whispered to herself, “At a time like this, one must press on without letup.”

Indeed, when everyone in the know thought Silver Moon wouldn’t act, Xu Jiayan, in her weakened state, chose to take the initiative!

She didn’t leave through the front door. instead, she opened the wardrobe door and pushed aside a row of hanging clothes. Behind the clothes in the wardrobe, there was actually a hidden door that opened into the adjacent unit! That’s right, the apartment next door was also Xu Jiayan’s!

She entered the neighboring apartment, opened the front door, took the elevator downstairs to the B1 underground garage, exited the complex via the garage, went out the gate, scanned a shared e-bike, and rode to the garbage station two kilometers away.

At this time, the lady responsible for maintaining the garbage station had long since gotten off work.

Xu Jiayan walked to the green trash can and pulled out a large snakeskin sack.

“The Logistician is getting more and more unreliable. This packaging is too sloppy.”

Xu Jiayan rode the e-bike fifty meters away, parked it at a return spot, and then opened the bag to check. Inside were the parts of a sniper rifle and a Volkswagen car key.

She pressed the key, and the lights of a gray Volkswagen Tiguan on the opposite side of the road flashed. This car was very common, with a high ownership rate, so driving it on the road wouldn’t attract special attention.

After getting in the car, Xu Jiayan checked her phone. Although the Logistician had complained, his work was reliable. He had already hacked Zhuo Sixuan’s phone and sent all the information inside to Xu Jiayan.

“Tonight, Zhuo Sixuan is discussing business with someone in Box 7 of the Earl Club in Ninghai. There are a total of 6 high-level bodyguards from Hangxing Security protecting him closely.”

After reading the message, Xu Jiayan uninstalled the communication app between her and the Logistician, then drove to the Earl Club.

Twenty minutes later, Xu Jiayan arrived at the entrance of the Earl. She didn’t go in immediately but drove around the club a few times. She had already seen the Maybach Zhuo Sixuan usually rode in parked in the parking lot. There was also a black commercial vehicle parked right next to the Maybach, which should be the Hangxing Security Company’s car.

At the entrance of the parking lot full of luxury cars, a dozen designated drivers on e-bikes were waiting for work.

But just then, several commercial vans suddenly turned out of the night traffic, smashed directly through the parking lot barrier, and rushed to the club entrance. Aggressively!

The dozen designated drivers were almost hit and hurriedly dodged, cursing.

Seeing this, Xu Jiayan immediately parked her car on the side of the road and moved from the driver’s seat to the back seat. The sniper rifle, which she had already assembled, was right under the back seat.

At this moment, a group of masked men in black suits jumped out of the commercial vans, all holding batons and steel pipes! They rushed into the Earl Club and, without a word, beat anyone they saw!

The security guards in the club had no idea what was happening. They were knocked to the ground upon first encounter, completely unable to resist!

Xu Jiayan stared at the main entrance, searching for Zhuo Sixuan’s figure. If he escaped, she would shoot him dead.

But just then, the entire Earl Club suddenly lost power! The magnificent palace instantly became pitch black! The private rooms and corridors inside had no windows, so with the power cut, the people inside were all blinded!

What Xu Jiayan didn’t see was that at this moment, the group of black-suited men who rushed into the club all took out night vision goggles and put them on their faces!

Translator’s Note: Looks like someone else has crashed the party at the Earl Club! Night vision goggles? That’s professional. Could this be Su Wuji’s doing, or is there a third player on the board?
