Rebirth of the Heavenly Empress

Chapter 759: Can’t Bear to Take a Step Back

Su Huiqing could easily recall this scene. She felt that she should forever remember Jun Ke’s cold expression when she turned back.

The laboratory boss looked at Su Huiqing mockingly.

At that time, she was still that person who didn’t have much contact with the outside world. She wasn’t familiar with Chi Yue and the rest. She didn’t have those comrades from Unknown Island or her exclusive mercenary group.

She felt very lonely.

“So when I first found you, you didn’t look for the laboratory because you couldn’t stand the poison in your body.” Yu Shijin took a deep breath. He pressed his palm on the table, and one could almost see the clear palm lines. His words were even slightly cold. “It’s because of this?”

After so many years, she had so many friends. Now that she thought about it, she didn’t feel as cold as before. Su Huiqing gradually recovered and nodded slightly.

She tilted her head to look at him. The light in Yu Shijin’s eyes shattered into ice shards.

“You didn’t guess wrong. That person is Jun Ke. I didn’t expect to see her again. I thought that since I worked so hard back then, there were still more than ten people who didn’t make it. I was afraid that she was also among them. But fortunately, she got out.” After all, Jun Ke was also someone who had stayed with her in the dark.

“Fortunately?” Yu Shijin looked at her with a vicious smile. “Do you think, from now on, she still wants to live well?”

“She’s not wrong either.” Su Huiqing smiled. “If not for her, I might not have met the former Island Master, Chi Yue, and the rest… and I wouldn’t be here today. Speaking of which, I might have to thank her.”

After experiencing so much, Su Huiqing also knew very well that friends were not so easy to make. In the face of danger, other than Yu Xiangyang and the rest, there was almost no one who would risk their lives for her.

Perhaps she really wanted to thank Jun Ke. If not for Jun Ke, she wouldn’t have blown up the island, and there wouldn’t be a Su S who everyone in the International Association feared.

The cold glint in Yu Shijin’s eyes dimmed, and his heart shrank. In the end, he only said, “I won’t thank her.”

“Alright, alright, alright, I know.” After saying all this, Su Huiqing finally vented out the frustration she had held back for a year. “Manager Dugu is coming soon. You have just returned. The Yu Family is also waiting for you, right?”

She initially thought that Yu Shijin would pretend not to hear her, but unexpectedly, Yu Shijin really left.

After closing the door, Yu Shijin’s relaxed expression slowly faded.

He stood outside the door and didn’t leave immediately. He had to use all his strength to release his clenched fists. If anyone was around, they would definitely be able to see the blood slowly dripping from his palms.

“Master Yu?” Apollo immediately ran over when he heard that Su Huiqing was back. He was slightly stunned when he saw Yu Shijin leaning against the door.

Yu Shijin slowly snapped out of his trance.

He slowly stood up and walked forward without looking at Apollo.

“Strange.” Apollo glanced at Yu Shijin, but he didn’t have the time to bother about the other. He immediately ran upstairs to look for Su Huiqing.

Yu Shijin had already boarded his own car. The chief detective sat in the driver’s seat, waiting for his instructions.

However, after waiting for a long while, Yu Shijin didn’t speak. He just looked out the window, not knowing what to say. At that time, Yu Shijin was probably like that to Su Huiqing. He didn’t have the right to take a step forward and couldn’t bear to take a step back.
