Shadow Heir II: Dark Glory - Chapter 53

Just when the entire Earl Club suddenly lost power, Xu Jiayan clearly noticed one of the designated drivers waiting at the entrance push his e-bike to the ground, roughly shove through the crowd, and squeeze into the club’s main gate.

This person was either Zhuo Sixuan’s bodyguard or… a Dkaro Hyena.

Xu Jiayan memorized the back of the figure squeezing in. She still hadn’t gotten out of the car, and the Volkswagen remained running, ready to leave at any moment.

A few minutes later, the chaos seemed to end. The dozen or so men in black suits all withdrew, got into their cars, and hurriedly left. As for the security guards of the Earl Club, not a single one could stand up!

Several minutes later, ambulances and police cars arrived one after another.

Seeing this, Xu Jiayan didn’t linger and drove away.

However, ten minutes later, she reappeared at the scene, riding a shared e-bike.

People were constantly being carried out on stretchers and loaded into ambulances. Xu Jiayan clearly saw Zhuo Sixuan and the few Hangxing Security guards among them!

When Zhuo Sixuan was carried out, the designated driver who had rushed into the club earlier immediately ran to the stretcher to check the situation. A few seconds later, he turned around and angrily kicked a nearby e-bike to the ground!

Xu Jiayan gave him a deep look and left for the second time.

While riding the bike, she sent a voice message: “Logistician, I might have found the Dkaro Organization’s lurking Hyena.”

The Logistician replied, “Guanzhi, you currently have no mission to deal with Dkaro Hyenas. Until your injuries are fully healed, I will not provide you with any logistical support.”

Xu Jiayan hesitated for a moment. “Fine.”

Actually, when she said this, she was clearly somewhat unwilling. After all, a great opportunity was right in front of her.

Just as Xu Jiayan returned to her room from the neighboring unit, Su Wuji called.

“It’s so late, I was asleep…” Xu Jiayan waited a few seconds before answering, her voice tinged with laziness.

“I heard there was a conflict at the Earl Club. Zhuo Sixuan was accidentally injured and taken by ambulance to the nearby Cihui International Hospital. He’s now in the intensive care unit,” Su Wuji asked grumpily. “Did you do it?”

“What?” Xu Jiayan’s voice was clearly surprised.

Her surprise wasn’t faked! After all, she had never expected that Zhuo Sixuan would be sent to Cihui Hospital by emergency ambulance! Wasn’t this right under her nose? In that case, there were at least eight hundred ways to take Zhuo Sixuan’s life silently!

“How could I have that ability…” Xu Jiayan said. “You know how weak I am…”

“Since you didn’t do it, that’s fine,” Su Wuji said. “I’m going back to Linzhou. Behave yourself.”

With that, he hung up directly and opened the car window. The night breeze of Ninghai poured into the carriage along the long Ning River.

Su Wuji casually tossed something, and a pair of night vision goggles fell into the Ning River.

Xiao Pang’s voice came from the back: “Boss, Finance said you can’t just focus on looking cool. Those night vision goggles are expensive.”

Because his size was too conspicuous, Xiao Pang hadn’t participated in the conflict at the Earl Club and was currently huddled uncomfortably in the third row of the van, his legs numb.

Su Wuji turned to look at Xiao Yinlei, who was driving. “How about we fire this Finance person?”

Xiao Yinlei smiled. “Boss, if you fire her, she’ll be poached by a Wall Street investment bank as a vice president the next second.”

“Heh.” Su Wuji waved his hand. “For the sake of her good business ability, I’ll forgive her sharp tongue.”

Xiao Pang: “Boss, aren’t you forgiving her for the sake of her beauty?”

Su Wuji gritted his teeth. “Xiao Pang!”

Xiao Yinlei said, “Boss, you did so much for Xu Jiayan, is it…”

“No.” Su Wuji clearly knew what Xiao Yinlei was going to say. “Isn’t she just a bit prettier and sexier? Would my starting point for doing things be so shallow?”

Xiao Pang: “Boss, Finance said if it weren’t for the boss being too shallow when dealing with women, our capital reserves could at least increase tenfold.”

Su Wuji covered his forehead and closed his eyes.

Xiao Yinlei drove with a smile, enjoying the current state of the three of them being in the car together.

“Any movement from the Mu family recently?” Su Wuji asked. Several days had passed since he drove a heavy truck over the Mu family’s old residence.

“On the surface, they’re swallowing their pride and staying calm,” Xiao Yinlei said. “Knowing them, the Mu family should be brewing their next attack on the boss-lady.”

“Mu Qianyu went to the Capital and hasn’t sent a word for days.” Su Wuji curled his lip. “Women, they’re all animals who burn bridges after crossing.”

Xiao Yinlei laughed. “Boss, the boss-lady is definitely not that kind of person.”

Coincidentally, just as she finished speaking, Su Wuji received a photo on his phone. It was a selfie taken by Mu Qianyu at Tiananmen Square!

In the photo, she wore a white ruffled shirt, the night breeze fluttering her long hair. Even without makeup, she exuded a breathtaking beauty. If this photo were paired with the background music “The red sun rises in the East, its great path full of rosy light,” it would be absolutely perfect.

“She really is beautiful.” Su Wuji zoomed in on the photo, focusing on Mu Qianyu’s face and chest, and evaluated, “This face and figure are barely worthy of me.”

Xiao Yinlei said, “If the boss and the boss-lady have a child, it will definitely be incredibly beautiful.”

Xiao Pang: “What about Officer Park?”

Su Wuji raised an eyebrow. “Heh, only children make choices. Adults want them all.”

Xiao Pang: “What about Manager Xiao?”

This time, before Su Wuji could speak, Xiao Yinlei immediately interjected, “Xiao Pang, stop talking.”

At this moment, due to the dim light in the carriage, it was impossible to see if Xiao Yinlei’s earlobes had turned red.

Mu Qianyu sent another text message: Busy for three days, just arrived at Tiananmen Square and took this to show you.

Su Wuji replied: Wearing too much. Negative review!

If Mu Qianyu’s pursuers saw this message, they would probably want to hack Su Wuji to pieces. However, the number one beauty of Linzhou almost laughed herself silly on the other end of the phone.

“He’s so interesting.” Mu Qianyu couldn’t stop smiling.

She had flown from Central Sichuan, and as soon as she landed in the Capital, she rushed to Tiananmen Square to take a selfie. It seemed this was just to prove she had been in the Capital these past few days and not in Liangshan.

Li Qingchen stood aside, watching his young miss, and smiled too, his face showing obvious relief.

Seeing this, Mu Qianyu asked, “Uncle Chen, you don’t know who I’m chatting with, so what are you smiling at?”

Li Qingchen: “Miss must be chatting with Su Wuji. No need to guess, because only he can make Miss smile so much.”

Mu Qianyu touched her slightly warm cheek and asked, seemingly calmly, “Oh? Is it that obvious?”

“I watched Miss grow up. No man has ever been able to make Miss so happy… The master arranging for you to meet Su Wuji really had foresight.”

Mu Qianyu seemed a little embarrassed and hummed softly. “My dad just matches people randomly.”

Li Qingchen smiled and didn’t expose her.

“The Mu family cannot be limited to Linzhou; we must eventually step into the Capital. We need the Su family as a powerful ally. The Su family seems to be in decline, making many people forget this former behemoth, but I can truly feel it from Su Wuji over these past two days…”

Pausing, Mu Qianyu said, “The Su family is hiding their light and biding their time. They are so low-key simply because they don’t want to compete, or disdain to compete.”

Li Qingchen said, “If our Mu family and the Su family were to unite by marriage, it would be good for both families…”

“Uncle Chen, don’t talk nonsense. What marriage… Su Wuji and I are just partners who work well together.”

Looking at the rolling traffic on Chang’an Avenue in front of her, Mu Qianyu’s gaze seemed a little firmer. “Before the Mu family gains a firm foothold in the Capital, I will absolutely not consider personal issues.”

Fine, but don’t regret it if someone else beats you to it, Li Qingchen said in his heart.

“By the way, I heard that the gate of Empress Bar was smashed a few days ago?” Mu Qianyu suddenly changed the subject. At this moment, the light in her eyes suddenly changed, seeming even colder than the early autumn wind in the Capital.

Li Qingchen said, “It was done by a dragon crossing the river, Bai Xuyang of the Bai family in the Capital.”

Mu Qianyu pondered, “I heard that Bai Xuyang has been pursuing Jiang Wanxing bitterly for many years, and that Oriental Beauty Club was Bai Xuyang’s property. He must have come to Linzhou for revenge.”

Li Qingchen said, “It is said that Su Wuji didn’t fight back, but just repaired the glass door of Empress himself.”

“That’s not Wuji’s character. He must be considering Jiang Wanxing’s feelings.” Mu Qianyu thought she had seen through the truth at a glance.

“Wuji not taking revenge doesn’t mean I can’t take revenge for him.”

Saying this, Mu Qianyu turned towards Sanlitun. “Uncle Chen, tonight, go smash Bai Xuyang’s Tailong Club.”

Hearing this request, Li Qingchen’s eyeballs almost fell to the ground! Smashing things directly was definitely not Mu Qianyu’s style! Had she been influenced by those around her?

Li Qingchen asked, “Just the gate?”

Mu Qianyu’s voice was soft. “All of it.”
