Chapter 38 Su Qiaoqiao’s Identity (2nd Update)
Chapter 38: Chapter 38 Su Qiaoqiao’s Identity (2nd Update)
"Boss, there are very few clues left by the other party, it’s really challenging to determine precisely who wants to make a move against Miss."
The short-haired man, previously known as Brother Leopard, stood respectfully behind a man dressed in a black short shirt and spoke in a low voice.
The man had a square face with slight stubble, slightly dark skin, and wrinkles on his forehead resembling the trials of time. He exuded an aura of both stability and maturity.
This man was called Su Xiong, one of the underground world bosses of Chuzhou City.
Su Xiong slightly furrowed his brow, pondered for a moment, and said, "Black Panther, this matter will not end here, arrange a few more people around Qiaoqiao in the future."
"Right, is there any trace of the hunchback old man and Jade Fox?"
"After they disappeared from McDonald’s, they lost their trail. These two are seasoned experts, and the chance of finding them is very small. Moreover, due to their vigilance, they have probably already left Chuzhou City." Black Panther finished speaking and continued,
"I initially wanted to meet these two people, but I’m worried about Miss’s safety, so..."
"No need to mention that, Qiaoqiao’s safety is more important, you’re doing the right thing." Su Xiong waved his hand, stopping Black Panther from continuing, "Spread the word, whoever can get rid of these two, can immediately take five million from me, Su Xiong, and I’ll owe them a favor."
Inside, Black Panther was shocked; a favor from Su Xiong surpasses the value of five million by far. Once this news gets out, there’ll be almost no place for the hunchback old man and Jade Fox to stand in the country, essentially cutting off their opportunity to survive.
"By the way, Boss, that young man’s identity is somewhat suspicious." Black Panther remembered what a subordinate just said about the person who knocked out Jade Fox with one punch.
"Suspicious?"
Su Xiong turned around to look directly at Black Panther, he was very concerned about this matter since the person ultimately blocked Jade Fox and the hunchback old man.
"Tell me about it."
Black Panther felt the air around him instantly become heavier, with a suffocating pressure, he couldn’t help but secretly think, "The Boss’s strength has improved again."
"While searching his information, I found this person is from near Yunlong Mountain, grew up with his grandfather. He has no background and never attended school, just a country farmer." Black Panther paused here, "But there are two strange points, since he was ten, he oftentimes went out for a long time, sometimes half a month, sometimes several months."
"Additionally, no one knows where he went, there’s no record of it, and finally, the fact that he came to Chuzhou City to attend Jiangnan University."
"Someone with no academic background, able to directly attend Jiangnan University, which is the top institution in the south..."
Su Xiong furrowed his brow intensely and did not directly reply to Black Panther, instead asked, "He punched Jade Fox flying and frightened the hunchback old man so much he didn’t dare to fight back and directly fled?"
"Yes, his strength is extremely formidable." Black Panther thought for a moment, "Even I couldn’t accomplish that, I’d at most fight to a draw with the two."
"Alright, I understand, you may leave first." Su Xiong watched Black Panther leave, contemplating, "He’s been navigating the underworld for so many years and hasn’t heard of such a character; could it be he’s just started out, then the person nurturing him must be even more extraordinary?"
Actually, Lin Xi had been navigating the underworld for quite some time, but it wasn’t the underworld of Xia Country.
Plus, if Su Xiong learned that Su Qiaoqiao also had a fever during this time and was controlled by Lin Xi, his regard for Lin Xi would increase a hundredfold.
"I’m okay." Zhou Yan was relieved upon seeing Lin Xi return safely, her tense face relaxing slightly, "She was picked up by her family, a group of men in black."
"Men in black?" Lin Xi frowned, could this group be the ones who chased them earlier?
"Rest assured, though those people don’t seem like good people, they’re indeed her family, or rather, her dad’s subordinates." Zhou Yan said with a slight slur, her face getting redder, "There’s no need for us to worry about the safety."
Watching Big Sis make such a guarantee, Lin Xi also relaxed, although Big Sis sometimes is careless, when it comes to being responsible, she’s undoubtedly reliable.
"What’s wrong with you?" Lin Xi increasingly felt Zhou Yan was off, seeming like a man on some aphrodisiac.
"Nothing’s wrong, um? Come with me to the police station." Zhou Yan grabbed Lin Xi’s hand as if preventing him from escaping.
"No problem." Lin Xi smiled, just in time to see two police cars rushing in, but Zhou Yan seemed not to trust Lin Xi’s word, she grabbed Lin Xi’s shoulder with the other hand.
The two at this moment happened to be face to face, from an outsider’s perspective, it looked a bit unusual.
But the truth was indeed such.
Yet Zhou Yan was not very conscious now and did not notice this.
Lin Xi couldn’t help but sigh inwardly as the police car had already stopped beside them, two officers, one older and one younger, got out; they were Zhou Yan’s two subordinates.
"Captain, all good?" The older officer stepped forward to ask, clearly noticing Zhou Yan was somewhat off, how she was closely alongside someone she had deeply resented.
The younger officer also approached, looking curiously at Lin Xi and Zhou Yan.
At this time, Zhou Yan’s mind was already somewhat unclear, so Lin Xi replied, "Your captain was inadvertently set up, I suggest you quickly take her to a hospital."
The older officer’s mind tightened hearing Lin Xi’s words; if their captain got into trouble, they wouldn’t escape the blame.
Taking advantage of their distraction, Lin Xi secretly tapped Zhou Yan’s back three times; Zhou Yan’s head drooped, she fainted, thinking, "It should be fine until reaching the hospital."
The old officer carefully assisted Zhou Yan into the police car, hearing a voice, "By the way, just in case, remember to handcuff her."
After this police car left, the officers from the other police car ignored Lin Xi, busy sealing off the whole scene.
Lin Xi was heading towards the school, hadn’t even taken a few steps, his phone rang, he was taken aback, who was calling him?
Taking out the phone, it showed Bai Bing.
"Hello?" Lin Xi answered, could it be Master Bai’s illness had relapsed, but logically it shouldn’t have.
"Lin Xi, where are you now? I’m coming to pick you up." Bai Bing said from the other side.
"On the way to school, near the bar." Lin Xi replied puzzled, couldn’t help but ask again, "Did your grandfather’s illness relapse?"
"No, it’s about my brother, I’ll tell you when I get there."
"Beep beep beep..."
The call was already disconnected, Lin Xi was puzzled for a while, didn’t think much about it, continued walking towards the school.
After about less than five minutes, a red Ferrari pulled up beside Lin Xi, the window slowly rolled down, Bai Bing leaned out and shouted, "Lin Xi, get in."
