The ancient Divine Beast Susu descended to endure trials and became the youngest daughter of the Qin Family, who were nearing eighty years old; young in age but high in seniority, even the men in t...
"Tomorrow morning, drive to the parking lot of the Yinhua Building and deliver something to the Qin Family residence in Capital City for me."
"No problem, no problem! Just leave this little task to me!" Chu Heng hastily agreed.
The man in the mask did not listen to Chu Heng any longer, hung up the call, and casually threw the phone back to his assistant.
He then instructed the subordinate in front of him, "If by tomorrow morning, no one has found Qin Susu, pack her up and let Chu Heng deliver her back to the Qin Family; if someone does find Qin Susu, pack up a box of money instead for him to take back."
"Yes, boss," the subordinates answered.
At that moment, a series of knocks on the door echoed from outside.
Everyone in the room turned their attention toward the door.
Who is knocking at the door?
Who else would come looking for this place?
This floor has an access control system; only their own people could get in.
But all of their own were here already, and the rest wouldn’t come to this floor without the boss’s orders.
So it couldn’t be one of their own.
But if it was someone from the outside, how did they get past their guards?
The masked man looked in the direction of the door, his gaze sharp and intense.
He sensed an extraordinary presence!
It was not an aura any ordinary person could possess!
Could it be him? Was it him?
Had he finally come to meet him in order to rescue Susu?
The masked man felt his blood begin to surge around his heart.
While everyone was puzzled, the knocking started up again.
"Open the door," the masked man ordered.
Upon hearing the command, the subordinate closest to the door cautiously approached it and then slowly opened the door.
However, the moment the door opened, the person standing at the door was entirely different from what they had expected.
The man was dressed in a white shirt and wore gold-rimmed glasses, his disposition gentle and refined, the epitome of cultivated grace.
"Who are you?" the subordinate asked.
The people inside were perplexed; how did such an apparently weak man manage to get through to this place? fr\(e)ew(e)b.(n)o (v)(e)l.com
"Excuse me, I am here to see your boss, would it be convenient for me to go in and talk with your boss?"
The man spoke, his voice as clear and gentle as his image, his attitude neither servile nor overbearing, calm and composed.
"Do you think our boss is someone you can just see whenever you wish?" the subordinates said.
"Let him in."
The masked man spoke up, and the subordinates immediately made way for the refined and cultured gentleman at the door.
The man walked slowly into the room, passing through a throng of burly subordinates, and went straight to the desk to look the man sitting in the boss’s chair in the eye.
The masked man watched the slender newcomer enter, his expression instantly calming down as he asked, "Who are you?"
He was not him, not the one he had been waiting for.
"I am Susu’s master. She has been brought here by you, and I have come to find her."
The man replied gently, his tone mild, not at all as if he was here to reclaim someone, but more as if a good friend had come over for a visit!
"Are you the master Susu mentioned?"
"Yes," the man who claimed to be Susu’s master responded warmly.
"How do you know Susu is here?"
"I know a bit of the art of Qimen Dunjia, and with some luck, I figured out that my adorable disciple is here, so I came to discuss her return with you," the man replied casually and with ease.
"You figured it out?"
"Yes, I figured it out."
"If you’re so capable, then help me figure out where the person I am looking for is. If you get it right, I might consider letting your little disciple go. How about that?"
