Rebirth of the Heavenly Empress - Chapter 168
Chapter 168: Song San
On the other side of the phone, the chief detective stumped for a moment. “That was fixed by your grandpa.”
After that, he added, “When you, Master Yu, was still in the belly.”
Su Huiqing was still in the house.
“Send a copy of the Dugu Family’s information to me.” Yu Shijin didn’t wish to talk anymore. He put out his cigarette and said with profound eyes, “I’ll discuss this with Grandpa.”
He hung up and walked back right away.
He didn’t take this Dugu Family matter to heart at all.
The door opened.
Su Huiqing had already almost finished eating. She was supporting her chin with her hand, looking at the dishes on the table as if she was deep in thoughts.
Her slender finger pressed on her lips.
For some reason, she actually felt that this taste was slightly familiar.
‘Kacha.’
The door was pushed open.
Yu Shijin walked in with his phone. This time, he didn’t have that fear-inspiring aura just now, only with a mild coldness with the same frostiness in his eyes.
“Finished eating?” He looked up at her with slightly expressive eyes.
Su Huiqing squinted her eyes and smiled. Since he didn’t mention what happened just now, she would naturally take it as she had forgotten it as well.
After all, it wasn’t a harmonious matter.
“Eat. After that, let’s talk about the matters concerning Fifteen.” Su Huiqing pushed an empty bowl over with a smiling face.
Her eyes were filled with obedience.
However.
Yu Shijin didn’t sit down. Instead, he reached out for his keys and looked at her. “Get up. I’ll send you back to school. We’ll talk about anything else tomorrow.”
“You’re not eating?” Su Huiqing thought about it, suddenly felt that something was off, supported herself on the table, and got up. “Something isn’t right. You said you’ll tell me when you come back. Moreover, I have confined military training tomorrow, so let’s talk before going back.”
The longer this matter dragged on, the more awful she felt with the uncertainties in her heart.
Yu Shijin’s posture was mild as he walked towards her with the same deep look in his eyes.
Before Su Huiqing could react, Yu Shijin dragged her towards the outside while saying mildly, “I said tomorrow, and that’s final.”
Su Huiqing now still didn’t know why he was so insistent.
She only knew that she got thrown outside the school gates.
As she watched that black car take off, Su Huiqing felt slightly down as she tugged at her collar, looked down, and walked back.
In the car.
Seeing that she had already entered the school, Yu Shijin’s gaze shifted away from the rearview mirror.
Then he retrieved his Bluetooth earphone, put it on, and made a call to Yu Hongchang.
“The chief detective has already told you?” Yu Hongchang’s voice came through the earphone.
Yu Shijin’s gaze as he spoke with a cold voice. “I don’t have time to fool around with you guys. Unless you really want me to kill her.”
Yu Hongchang choked. He initially still felt that Yu Shijin didn’t care about these matters and didn’t expect him to be so direct.
He sighed slightly as he felt helpless dealing with such a cheerless Yu Shijin. “This is my deal with the ancestors of the Dugu Family and is not to be taken lightly. Don’t be too rash. You don’t have to marry her no matter what. You know what the Dugu Family does—they’re not that easy to deal with.”
At this time, Yu Shijin’s phone vibrated.
It was the information regarding Dugu Family sent by the chief detective.
Yu Shijin stopped the car by the roadside.
The chief detective had tidied everything up meticulously and placed all the crucial points at the front. Yu Shijin saw the main points within a glance.
He squinted his eyes as his slender fingers mounted the steering wheel.
He started the car once again and spoke with a much milder voice. “Grandpa, you’ve been framed by the Dugu Family.”
“How so?” Yu Hongchang was slightly stunned.
Yu Shijin’s gorgeous face seemed to smile slightly. “The head of the Dugu Family isn’t even married. How did such a grown-up daughter come about?”
Yu Hongchang really didn’t know about this. “No, then Dugu Wu?”
“She was adopted by the Dugu Family matriarch from relatives.” Yu Shijin looked at a road sign ahead and stopped the car with coldness in his eyes. “Don’t bug me regarding this matter in the future. That’s it.”
He alighted with harshness all over his body.
From the side, his figure looked slightly handsome and lonely at the same time, as if shrouded in a layer of frost.
Yu Shijin glanced past a road sign by the side.
The road sign was that of the graveyard of the International Association.
Almost all those buried here were people from the International Association.
He looked down and walked up from the first step of the stairs.
The old man watching over the graveyard didn’t feel that this was a strange sight, only that he took an additional glance as he felt that Yu Shijin was more outstanding than ordinary people.
It was already late.
Around close to 11 P.M. At such a time, usually, no one would come to the graveyard.
However, today, from dawn, there has been a constant stream of people.
Up till now, there were still many people walking down the long flight of stairs.
Someone could be seen almost every few minutes.
The old man watching over the graveyard even saw familiar faces from the television.
The flight of stairs of the graveyard was very long. From the top to bottom, there were around a few hundred steps. Every 50 steps, there was a group of tombs.
Yu Shijin was going to the highest level.
There was no expression on his handsome face, but the hands hanging by the sides of his body were held in tight fists.
When he arrived at the top, there were already white flowers by the side of the steps.
He walked along the flowers until he reached a tombstone.
Flowers were also packed in front of the tombstone. Probably because it couldn’t contain any more flowers, the additional ones were placed along the steps downwards.
Yu Shijin’s gaze went through the few people standing before the tombstone towards the photograph on it.
It was only a photograph of a side view, but the smile was very radiant.
His pair of eyes suddenly deepened endlessly.
How could he forget today?
4th of September.
This date that he would never forget for life.
“It’s so cold.” The few people before the tombstone suddenly shuddered. They took a final look at the tombstone. “Let’s go back.”
Even the last few people left.
Yu Shijin stood before the tomb and smoked for a long time, till a voice came from not far away.
“Master San, we’re here.”
After that, a very soothing and calm voice was heard. “You guys can go down.”
Upon hearing this voice, Yu Shijin’s eyes suddenly became profound.
His downcast eyes were filled with coldness.
After a half a second, he put on the hood of his jacket and turned back right away.
Naturally, his pair of harsh eyes unavoidably met the figure that just walked up.
Song San paused in his tracks. His face was also handsome—not as cold as harsh as Yu Shijin, but with a peaceful and warm aura—and his facial features were extraordinarily exquisite.
He squinted his eyes and took towards Yu Shijin. His instincts made him feel that this person before him was very powerful.
Yu Shijin’s aura was too cold. He put out his cigarette and smiled slightly towards Song San.
It wasn’t any friendly smile, but the kind with a tinge of taunting.
Before Song San could take an exact look, that figure had already walked downwards with his hands in his pocket. His figure felt very harsh.
If it were before, perhaps Song San would commence a round of investigations. However, he wasn’t interested now. Instead, he bent and placed the white flowers in his hands down.
The tombstone was already filled with flowers, and he also swept these flowers aside.
And just sat on the ground like this.
He didn’t care that he was wearing a pair of light-colored pants.
“Why didn’t you wait for me to be back before acting on your own?” Song San’s voice was slightly hoarse as he mocked at himself slightly. “You’re really heartless—how could you bear to just leave like this?”
He sat there from almost 12 A.M. till daybreak.
At the break of dawn, the first ray of sunlight appeared from behind the clouds.
Song San stood up and took a last look at the tombstone.
Then he turned his back and left.
The car would pass by the Monster University.
At the main gate of the school, he instructed for the car to stop and just looked at the side of the gate of the Monster University.
More accurately, he was looking at the last handprint.
He looked at it for a long time in the same posture.
Only when he knew that it was getting increasingly crowded outside the school gate did he slowly wind up the car window, lifted his eyes mildly towards the chauffeur, and instructed, “Let’s go.”
At the same time.
Outside the school gate.
Su Huiqing was biting on a bottle of milk with one hand in her pocket. Against the sunlight, she turned her head sideways and looked over. “Have the two of you made up?”
Probably because she had just gotten up, she seemed slightly idle on the whole.
Stray hair from the top of her forehead covered her pair of clearly defined eyes.
The figure that was turned slightly towards the side was still gorgeous.
At the same time, Song San’s car window wound up gradually and covered his face bit by bit.
He was also looking up at the chauffeur and said something mildly.
The car had already started.
Just then, Su Huiqing also turned her head in the direction of the car and even casually worked up a tinge of a smile.
