Chapter 567: Anger
If the previous Wenyao was a beauty, perhaps Xiao Shun’s thoughts wouldn’t have been as simple as they were.
Although Xiao Shun was a person loyal in matters of the heart, not everyone could restrain their physiological impulses.
Perhaps only those who had severed the six desires and seven emotions could control such impulses, like an immortal.
After a moment, the neatly washed Wenyao walked into the living room. Her face had turned somewhat red, perhaps from just having washed, or for some other reason.
Looking at the now thinner Wenyao, Xiao Shun nodded in satisfaction. “Very good. Most of the impurities in your body have been removed. A few more sessions and you will be fully recovered.”
A few more sessions?
Deep in thought, the image of Wenyao’s bare back facing him in the bathroom surfaced in Wenyao’s mind, a hint of shyness flashing across her face.
Then, she pushed aside her distracting thoughts and gratefully said, “Thank you, Mr. Xiao. I feel much better now.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shun waved his hand. “No need to be polite, this is something I promised you before.”
At that moment, Xiao Shun’s phone suddenly vibrated.
Looking at the unknown number displayed, Xiao Shun couldn’t help but feel puzzled, but eventually answered the call.
“Xiao Shun?”
Suddenly, a familiar voice came through, a voice that seemed somewhat familiar, but he couldn’t recall it for a moment.
“Who is this?”
“It’s me, Qin Yu. Mei has been taken by Tan Haohan, please help me!”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shun furrowed his brow slightly. “Where are you? I’ll come to find you!”
…
Half an hour later, Xiao Shun saw the heavily injured Qin Yu in an old residential unit.
Seeing this, Xiao Shun quickly asked, “What happened?”
Qin Yu, holding his chest, said bitterly, “Tan Haohan has discovered Mei’s identity. He sent people to capture her. We tried to resist together, but the opponents were too strong. They not only injured me but also took Mei away!”
“Tan Haohan discovered Mei’s identity so quickly?”
Xiao Shun was greatly surprised. Although he knew that Tan Haohan would eventually uncover Mei’s identity, he didn’t expect it to happen so soon.
“It’s probably because of what happened to Sha Hai, which deepened Tan Haohan’s suspicions. Also, because I met with Mei privately today. Xiao Shun, I beg you to save Mei!”
After speaking, Qin Yu grabbed Xiao Shun’s shoulder with all his strength, his eyes full of pleading.
Xiao Shun nodded heavily. “Since I’m here, I won’t ignore this matter!”
Although he and Mei were only in a working relationship, Mei had always helped him unilaterally, and he hadn’t reported anything on his side. The success of Starline in striking against Silkway was all due to Mei’s assistance. Xiao Shun had every reason, both morally and personally, to help.
With this in mind, he continued, “Do you know where Mei is now?”
“Mei has always had a GPS tracker on her. There’s a signal receiver in my phone. I was going to go there directly, but with my strength alone, I’m not enough to rescue Mei!”
Saying this, Qin Yu opened an app. On a pitch-black screen, a faint red dot was moving, representing Mei’s location.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
Seeing this, Xiao Shun took Qin Yu’s phone and stood up. “Give me the phone. You stay here and rest. I’ll take care of the rest!”
Qin Yu shook his head and, enduring the intense pain, walked to Xiao Shun. “No, I want to-”
Before he could finish his sentence, Xiao Shun coldly interrupted, “In your current state, going with me will only be a burden. I don’t want to have to save you after rescuing Mei!”
Faced with Xiao Shun’s seemingly heartless words, Qin Yu nodded in pain.
Indeed, in his current state, even if he went, he wouldn’t be of any help in the rescue mission and might even make things worse.
Instead of being stubborn, it would be better to let Xiao Shun act alone. With his formidable skills, he could ensure Mei’s safety.
“Don’t worry, I promise to do my best to bring Mei back to you!”
Patting Qin Yu’s shoulder, Xiao Shun turned and left.
Following the radar receiver on his phone, he arrived at an abandoned dock an hour later.
The sky was darkening, and the wind howled by the river, making the desolate grassland even more lonely.
Not far ahead of Xiao Shun, a warehouse stood alone in the open space, where Meiwas currently located.
As the sky gradually dimmed, a faint flicker of fire traced an arc and landed on the river, then dimmed.
Xiao Shun exhaled a puff of smoke, which dispersed in the wind.
Seeming to blend with the surrounding night, he had already arrived at the entrance to the warehouse.
The rusted iron door spoke of the place’s history, memories peeling away with the rust, carried off by the wind.
“Creak!”
Xiao Shun gently pushed open the iron door and stepped inside.
Though it was pitch black, it didn’t hinder his steady steps.
In just a moment, he was inside the warehouse.
As soon as he entered, Xiao Shun was immediately noticed.
“Heh, the boss didn’t say, but I knew you would come to rescue that woman!”
A sinister-looking strong man slowly approached Xiao Shun, eyeing him with interest.
“Where is she?”
Xiao Shun calmly lit a cigarette and took a drag.
The strong man chuckled, “Haha, she’s having fun with our boss. That girl is really something, she made me feel like I was in heaven just now…”
Before he could finish, Xiao Shun snapped his neck.
In an instant, Xiao Shun appeared at the door of an office and kicked it in.
“Bang!”
The wooden door turned into splinters under his foot.
Amidst the debris, everything inside was exposed to Xiao Shun.
A rare expression of anger appeared on his face as he quickly approached the man who had been on top of Mei.
A flick of his finger, and the man’s head rolled!
Kicking away the headless body in front of him, Xiao Shun walked to the dazed Mei. He took off his coat and wrapped it around her.
He knew without asking what kind of torture Mei had been through before his arrival, but it was all over now.
Today, for her, I will seek justice!
He lifted Mei and walked out of the office, his eyes filled with a chilling determination.
