Chapter 14: Turns Out it was You

“I don’t need it.” She smiled nonchalantly. “Do take care of yourself.”

“Mian…”

Old Master Su held onto the card tightly, and helplessness filled his eyes as he watched the girl leave.

People outside were giving him presents and blessings, but this girl actually returned him the present he gave out.

Old Master sighed and was even more upset when he coincidentally heard the crowd in the yard bustling with respectful greetings.

Superficial!

What is there to boast about? I only coincidentally bought potential shares and earned a small sum of money.

Su Jue’s ability could not even be compared to a tenth of Mr. Ye Qiao’s.

Mr. Ye Qiao was a legendary character in the business and stocks world that everyone knew about.

He entered the stock industry with 2 million dollars a year ago, and earned tens of billion in a short week. Ever since that incident, he became the God of the stock industry.

However, he was very mysterious as no one had seen him before and nobody knew who he was.

How could Su Jue compare to this character?

…

Su family’s back alley

Xiao Qimo and Ye Jinwen walked to this location after following the scent of blood and saw the messy remnants of an intense battle.

Everyone present had more than just a blood stain and the blood had not dried up yet, while the footprints left on the floor were messy and overlapped with one another.

A fierce and gruesome one-sided murder must have happened ten minutes before.

The two men looked at each other sternly.

Who did it?

They came over immediately after they got the news from the headquarters, but they did not expect someone else to be faster than them.

Ye Jinwen took a whiff and sighed. “These people probably came here to cause trouble for the Su family, right? It seems like it’s right for us to look for Old Master Su.”

The man opposite him was inspecting the scene with much focus. The ice-cold eyes hidden beneath the golden spectacles showed determination and understanding as he casually replied with a “Mm”.

Ye Jinwen looked at him in confusion. “But who was nice enough to handle them? Su family’s secret guards or someone else? Did they purposely hijack our targets?”

When he was talking, Xiao Qimo already retracted his gaze and slowly pulled both his sleeves up to his forearm.

He was still calm and graceful in this type of situation.

He said, “According to the battle marks, this ‘kind soul’ is around 170 cm, weighs around 42 kg and is really fast. The person often uses his right leg to attack, and he was wearing slippers…”

Ye Jinwen was very impressed. It was normal for Big Boss Mo to infer this much information.

However, how did such a skinny person wearing slippers offensively attack someone?

He heard Xiao Qimo’s excited magnetic voice once again.

“Gender: female.”

“Huh? It was done by a girl?” Ye Jinwen gulped down a mouthful of saliva when he heard it. “Who could be so brutal…?”

While Ye Jinwen was in deep thought, he saw a thin shadow coming out of the Su family’s back door.

He rubbed his eyes and was in a daze.

“Lu Mian? She’s here?”

Xiao Qimo lifted his spectacles and looked over.

The dark and deep eyes were quietly observing Lu Mian from head to toe, before they finally rested on her intricate face.

Lu Mian also sized him up within the few seconds of their eyes meeting each other.

Both of them walked towards each other.

Ye Jinwen smiled warmly and greeted her, “What a coincidence, Lu Mian!”

When he spoke, he quickly became more alert as he suddenly remembered being reverse hypnotized by her the day before.

Seeing his expression, Lu Mian knew that Doctor Ye had found out about it.

“Do we know each other?” She said nonchalantly, her lips curved up in a smile.

“Um…” Ye Jinwen was stumped and could only smile. She was even colder than Xiao Qimo. “Oh, right! This is my friend, Qimo.”

He inched closer towards her after finishing his sentence and whispered, “He’s from Capital Jin.”

Xiao Qimo was speechless as he raised his brows and something flashed across his eyes.

Lu Mian replied with an “oh”, as her gaze landed on Xiao Qimo in a seemingly smiling manner. After some thinking, her eyes became guarded as she was prepared to protect and distance herself.

She said, “So it was you.”
