Chapter 96: Why Are You Helping Me?

Apart from sounding a bit more calm, there was no difference in tone from earlier.

But those eyes were as sharp as a sword.

It penetrated the crowd and focused straight on the trembling Qin Dui.

That gaze was pitch black, cold and extremely scary.

All that n.o.bility and elegance was completely gone.

His entire body was shrouded in a murderous air.

“I… I was just following the orders…” Qin Dui felt like his limbs didn’t belong to him. He collapsed to his knees.

He was the one who had locked her up.

Yu s.h.i.+jin’s expressionless eyes s.h.i.+fted to the door of the little black room. He remained silent.

Chu Xuning glanced at Superintendent Hong. “What are you still standing there for? Quickly go open the door!”

He was also feeling very agitated and subconsciously lit up a cigarette.

He thought that these people would treat Su Huiqing with a bit more respect after he had personally stepped in to take care of things. He never expected them to have locked her in that little black room.

And Miss Su was just a teenager.

Locking a teenager in that little black room was unconscionable.

Su Huiqing had helped to rescue Doctor Luxe and then helped to destroy the Dark Angels. Just these two achievements alone would earn her the military rank of Captain.

But those two missions were highly cla.s.sified and only certain top level personnels knew of them.

To the public, this explosion was a terrible incident.

Some online keyboard warriors might even criticize Su Huiqing.

But to them, it was a meritorious service.

Every special forces soldier had such hidden glories. In order to maintain their ident.i.ty secret and for future operations, all of those achievements could not be revealed.

No one knew about all the things that person, whom they had locked up, had achieved.

Chu Xuning thought that if he was Su Huiqing, he would be very disheartened.

Actually, they could still gain some recognition over at Area One, and countless special forces were well respected there. But Su Huiqing had gained nothing at all… apart from being locked up in that little black room.

Superintendent Hong was already going over to open the door.

Yu s.h.i.+jin put his cell phone into his pocket and looked at Chu Xuning coldly. “Put out that cigarette.”

“…okay.” Chu Xuning was stunned. Although he didn’t understand what was going on, he quickly extinguished his cigarette.

The door was opened.

The person leaning against the wall squinted. It was quite a while before she finally regained normal sight.

She slowly walked out.

Every step was like a footprint on everyone’s heart.

She really looked terrible compared to before. After all, she had not had anything to eat or drink over the past few days.

She looked extremely calm and composed.

Her skin was so pale that it was nearly transparent.

But those deep, dark eyes of hers remained unchanged.

After surveying the group of people outside, she lifted her chin and chuckled. “Now… can I finally come out now?”

Her voice sounded a bit more hoa.r.s.e compared to before.

Su Huiqing saw that Yu s.h.i.+jin was looking at the handcuffs on her wrists. His heart jumped as he quickly took a key from an officer and hurried over to help undo her cuffs.

Yu s.h.i.+jin stepped up without a word and reached out to place his hand over the cuffs.

Su Huiqing looked up with a somewhat surprised expression.

The man’s eyes were lowered, but his gaze was very cold and remote. Wispy strands of black hair hid those ink-black pupils of his.

His movements were graceful and full of poise.

Under everyone’s disbelieving eyes, he broke those silver handcuffs with a loud crack.

“Superintendent Hong.” Yu s.h.i.+jin put his hand back into his pocket after tossing the broken handcuffs to the ground. He turned to look at Superintendent Hong. “Every single person involved in this, from top to bottom. Spare no one.”

“Investigate all… all of them?” Superintendent Hong was shocked.

He knew this was not a simple case and many people were implicated.

He was just a small superintendent in Green City and had no power over the people in the International a.s.sociation, not to mention those in the capital.

Yu s.h.i.+jin gave a cold smile. “I will personally oversee this investigation. As for the people at the capital and the International a.s.sociation… Chief detective, bring your men over. Whoever dares to interfere, just throw them into the little black room.”

Everyone knew that Yu s.h.i.+jin was for real this time.

Superintendent Hong looked at Yu s.h.i.+jin in shock. He had no idea who this person was, that he dared to make such extravagant statements?

Since the explosion, both the chief detective and vice chief detective were totally on Su Huiqing’s side. They were extremely angry at her for being locked up. People like them, who faced death and danger constantly, have always been bold risk-takers.

They completely supported Yu s.h.i.+jin’s wish to go all out and investigate this matter thoroughly. In fact, they always felt their Master Yu was too low key.

Chu Xuning noted Yu s.h.i.+jin’s grave expression and knew that he was not joking.

His gaze s.h.i.+fted to Su Huiqing, who already had her cell phone back in hand and was typing a message on it.

He never expected that after keeping a low profile for the past eight years, the very first time that Yu s.h.i.+jin was stepping out against the world would be for this person here…

Nevertheless, Yu s.h.i.+jin had dropped everything at the International a.s.sociation side and rushed over for this. So it was not totally unexpected.

“I will leave the rest to you.” Yu s.h.i.+jin looked at Chu Xuning.

Chu Xuning nodded. “Alright.”

Su Huiqing took over a bottle of milk from a female police officer and stuck the straw between her lips.

She went outside.

Yu s.h.i.+jin took his car keys and came out to see her leaning against the front of his car, milk bottle in hand.

“Why did you allow that to happen?” He walked over to her side and noted the obvious red marks on her wrists.

His lips twitched slightly.

With her abilities, he knew that no one could have any hold over her if she didn’t allow it.

Not to mention just a common rental driver.

Su Huiqing finished the last sip of milk and accurately tossed the empty bottle straight into a dustbin several meters away.

“What about you?” She zipped up her uniform before lifting her eyes to look at Yu s.h.i.+jin.

She shot him a question instead of answering.

A gentle breeze blew by. Her face was clear and those deep eyes of hers sparkled like bright stars. Under the sunlight, one could barely dare to meet her gaze.

Yu s.h.i.+jin could hear the slight rasp in her voice. “Why are you helping me?”

Why did he just drop everything at the International a.s.sociation and rushed over?

Yu s.h.i.+jin lowered his eyelids and tightened his hands over his keys.

Noticing his reaction, Su Huiqing narrowed her eyes and asked casually, “Have you been secretly in love with the Young Mistress of the Su Family for a long time now?”
